Zhang Fang's eyes flashed and said, "Lei Heng led the Southern Barbarian Captain and commanded the four counties. It was the imperial edict of the court and could not be stopped. What's more, the three county magistrates of Xicheng, Shangyong and Xi County were ambiguous. I am just a small chief of Fangling. If Lei Heng openly kills Lei Heng, the court will ask for punishment in the future. What will you ask me to resist..."

"Of course I wish I could kill Lei Heng, but Lei Heng's death could not get involved with me. It would be reasonable to die so that I could not be criticized and continue to serve as the chief of Fang Ling, or even climb the high branch of Henan Yin. Maybe there would be a chance to succeed the Nanman Captain..."

The strong man seemed to understand and asked again: "We let people dress up as bandits and intercept Lei Heng, isn't that enough?"

Zhang Fang shook his head and shouted, "I need a righteous plot to murder people with open conspiracy, so that I can take myself out and not be criticized."

When the strong man heard this, he asked, "What is the lord's trick?"

Zhang Fang smiled and said, "You don't need to know, just do what I said..."

Fangling County, county town post station.

After Lei Heng, Dian Wei and Sui Sheng returned to the post station, they quickly found Xi Zhong, Zheng Tai and Zheng Hun to discuss countermeasures together.

Lei Heng first asked Han Hao to send someone to stay outside the house, and then he told him what he encountered in the street at night. Lei Heng's head was in chaos and could only pin his hopes on the three great strategists.

Zheng Tai thought for a long time and took the lead in saying: "My lord, as Tai heard, Zhang Fang is greedy for power and wealth, and is vicious. He was so kind to keep his lord in Fangling County. Tai boldly speculated that it was nothing more than to delay the lord's time to enter the West City and take advantage of the opportunity to kill the lord..."

"But I have no grudges with Zhang Fang, and I have never revealed the intention of replacing him. Why did Zhang Fang kill me?"

After hearing this, Zheng Hun couldn't help but laugh: "Since ancient times, 'people died for money and birds died for food', how could he know that he was not jealous of his lord's 'come from behind'? What's more, there is no need for the power of the capital here to fuel the fire..."

When Lei Heng heard this, he nodded to agree with the analysis of the Zheng brothers. After all, they have been in Luoyang for a long time and are familiar with the officialdom. There are indeed many forces in the court who do not want to be the captain of the Southern Barbarians. The first person to be affected is Henan Yin He Jin...

After thinking about it, Lei Heng asked again: "Since Zhang Fang is about to delay my arrival in Xicheng and wants to kill me on his way to post, why didn't Zhang Fang, or He Jin send someone to intercept the attack halfway? Or did he take action at the banquet?"

Zheng Tai, Zheng frowned slightly, and was silent without answering.

Xi Zhong said: "Zhang Fang should not dare. Those who are greedy for money will be afraid of death. The lord is the commander of the Southern Barbarians ordered by the imperial court. How dare he treason rebel against the court and openly become enemies of the world."

After hearing this, Lei Heng immediately understood the truth, felt relieved in his heart, and then asked: "Zhang Fang was afraid of the majesty of the court and did not dare to assassinate me openly, but he would definitely find another opportunity to let me die on the way to office in a reasonable manner. Is that what does that mean?"

Xi Zhong nodded and agreed.

Lei Heng thought for a while and said, "The enemy is in the dark, I am in the bright, it seems that we can only respond to changes with the unchanging situation." After a pause, Lei Heng turned his eyes to Han Hao beside him and said, "Yuansi, you lead the second group of shadow guards to stay at the post station as our base camp in Fangling."

"No!" Han Hao replied immediately...

Early the next morning, Lei Heng received an invitation from Zhang Fang, asking him to go to the county government for a banquet again.

After receiving the news, Lei Heng was stunned. Didn’t he hold a banquet yesterday to welcome him? He still had to entertain himself today? The doubts in Lei Heng’s heart had just been eliminated, and another doubt arose. However, Lei Heng still took Dian Wei and Sui Sheng to the county government office. After entering the county government office, Zhang Fang had already brought the officials of Fangling to wait for Lei Heng in front of the hall.

"Sir, Master," the officials bowed to Lei Heng to pay their respects.

"Sir, good old men." Lei Heng smiled on his face and bowed to the officials of the Fangling who were standing in front of the government office to welcome him.

Zhang Fang stood in front of the Fangling official, with a bright smile on his feminine face and said, "Sir, disturb the dream of the Lord early in the morning. Please forgive me. The official has prepared a program to entertain the Lord. Please come from the Lord."

Lei Heng had figured out Zhang Fang's thoughts and knew that Zhang Fang could not kill him in public, so he was naturally fearless. With a wave of his sleeves, he walked towards the county yamen first. When he entered the county yamen, Lei Heng glanced at the officials following behind him and looked at the reactions of the officials around him. Although the officials in Fangling stood behind Zhang Fang, they were clearly divided into two camps.

Lei Heng looked at the Fangling official who was a little far away from Zhang Fang, and he was very careful in his heart.

There are fights and factions in any place. Even if Zhang Fang has been operating Fangling for many years, it is impossible to be airtight. Lei Heng knew in his heart that Zhang Fang must be planning how to get rid of him, and in order to completely control Fangling, he naturally had to get rid of Zhang Fang. Instead of taking action later, it is better to start first.

After entering the living room of the county government office, Lei Heng lifted his robe and sat down.

"Papapapapa..." After Zhang Fang sat down, he slapped several times in succession. Suddenly, a steady sound of footsteps came from outside the living room, and two burly men walked in.

"Lord, these two people are not weak." Sui Sheng knelt behind Lei Heng, leaned forward slightly, and whispered softly in Lei Heng's ear.

When Lei Heng heard this, his eyes looked at the two middle-aged people. They saw the two middle-aged people walking slowly with a big axe and a spear. Every time they took a step forward, they would give people a gloomy feeling. Their eyes were cold and cold, like a pool of stagnant water, full of death.

Lei Heng glanced at Dian Wei, and saw Dian Wei's face looked disdainful. Seeing this, Lei Heng smiled in his heart and felt confident.

"I heard for a long time that the powerful generals under the tent of the lieutenant were like clouds. The subordinate specially invited two warriors and was willing to fight with the powerful generals under the lieutenant to help the drunkenness of all the colleagues present." Zhang Fang had a smile on his face, his narrow eyes narrowed, and his feminine eyes fell on Lei Heng, and he smiled strangely.

Isn’t it just Xiang Zhuang’s sword dance, which is intended for Pei Gong? Lei Heng sneered in his heart and said, “Since Lord Zhang and all the masters have such a good mood, I will accept it. To be honest, I have seen sword dance to cheer up, but I have never seen a fight to cheer up, haha… I can’t wait.”

Lei Heng glanced at the officials and sneered in his heart, just as he was about to let the officials of Fangling understand their power, so don’t waste such a good opportunity. Lei Heng turned to look at Dian Wei and ordered: "Dian Wei, these two strong men are quite brave. Are you sure to give them good advice?"

Dian Wei said seriously: "It's easy to turn your hands!" After saying that, Dian Wei stood up and strode towards the living room with his halberd.

"You two go together!"

Seeing this, Zhang Fang laughed twice, turned his eyes to Lei Heng, and asked with a smile: "Sir, your subordinate is really awesome. If you are injured by my two warriors, don't blame me."

Lei Heng laughed and said, "I'm worried that if I hurt the warriors under Lord Zhang, it would be bad. If I hurt the harmony, I would be unhappy." There was infinite arrogance in my words. However, facing Lei Heng's strength, Zhang Fang could only endure it. He secretly swears in his heart that after killing Lei Heng, he would also crush Lei Heng's bones and ashes to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

Dian Wei wanted to fight against two, completely angered the two warriors. This was simply completely ignoring the two.

"Swish...swish..." The cold light flashed, and the hissing sound rang in the living room. The two warriors held their breath, blushed, and took fierce moves, attacked the vital points. The two of them were eager to defeat Dian Wei, which was not only to save face for Zhang Fang, but also to regain their face for themselves.

“Born…”

“Born…”

The sound of the roar of gold and iron fighting sounded from the living room, and ended with the weapons in the hands of the two warriors being knocked away by the iron halberd.

All the officials looked admiring and defeated the two of them in just one move. These were the warriors Zhang Fang hired to stay in the house for a large sum of money!

Zhang Fang was also so shocked that he opened his mouth wide. Then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. His eyes turned, and his eyes turned to Dian Wei again, and he asked, "Heroic, what do you call him?"

"Dian Wei!" Dian Wei bowed his hand and stood behind Lei Heng humbly.

Zhang Fang muttered in his heart, then his eyes went around Lei Heng and asked Dian Wei: "Sir Dian, there is still a lack of a commander in our army. I wonder if I can ask Sir Dian to train for several days?"

Dian Wei looked at him without squinting and said seriously: "Mr. Zhang, as a lord's subordinate, Dian Wei obeys the lord's arrangements in everything. If Mr. Zhang has anything, he can discuss it with the lord, and there is no need to ask Dian Wei."

Zhang Fang clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger. A silly man was ignorant and ignorant. However, this did not affect Zhang Fang's continued provocation of the relationship between Lei Heng and Dian Wei. He looked at Lei Heng and said, "Sir, I want to ask Dian Zhuangshi to come to the mansion and talk. I wonder what the lieutenant wants?"

As soon as Zhang Fang finished speaking, all his eyes fell on Lei Heng.

Lei Heng smiled faintly and instantly understood Zhang Fang's intention. If Dian Wei went to Zhang Fang's mansion to attend the banquet without invitation, it would create a gap between Lei Heng and Dian Wei; if Lei Heng did not allow Dian Wei to attend the banquet, it would seem that Lei Heng had no measure, and both choices were not good for Lei Heng.

It’s a pity that Zhang Fang found the wrong partner. Lei Heng smiled and said, “Mr. Zhang, such peerless martial arts are not something that ordinary people can learn as long as they want. If you want your masters to learn martial arts, let them go to Xicheng to study and ensure that they can teach and have a good class.”

"You..." Zhang Fang pointed at Lei Heng, and could no longer suppress the rage in his heart.

Lei Heng did not give Zhang Fang a chance to speak and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have been staying in Fangling County for two days. It's time to set off for Xicheng. Well, let's get off tomorrow morning."

Staying for one more day will make you more dangerous. Therefore, only by setting off for the West City as soon as possible can Zhang Fang's position change and disrupt Zhang Fang's arrangements.

Sure enough, after hearing Lei Heng's words, Zhang Fang immediately threw Dian Wei's affairs behind his mind. An anxiety flashed in his eyes. He thought about how to leave Lei Heng, and hurriedly explained: "Sir, it's hard to go to Xicheng Mountain Road. It's better to wait for two more days and wait for the weather to be refreshing before traveling."

Zhang Fang's original intention was to invite Lei Heng to the banquet to delay time. Unexpectedly, Lei Heng actually asked to rush to the West City, which immediately made Zhang Fang's arrangement difficult.

At a banquet, Zhang Fang became absent-minded because of Lei Heng's words, and his whole body seemed a little dazed. His feminine face sometimes showed a ferocious look, sometimes a thoughtful look, and sometimes a hint of anger appeared on his face...

At the end of the banquet, Zhang Fang still frowned and was immersed in his own world.

Lei Heng took Dian Wei and Sui Sheng left. After a while, only Zhang Fang and Zhang Fang's confidant were left in the living room.

On the way back to the post station, Sui Sheng asked: "Lord, Zhang Fang has already murderous intent, what should we do?"

Lei Heng smiled and said, "Sui Sheng, Zhang Fang, this person is too feminine."

Dian Wei and Sui Sheng were confused when they heard this, and did not understand Lei Heng's meaning. They asked in unison: "Lord, is Zhang Fang too feminine and he sent someone to kill us?"

Lei Heng explained: "I said Zhang Fang was too feminine, which means he was indecisive and difficult to accomplish great things. Not only did he want to kill me, but he also wanted to take himself out. He really wanted to be a bitch and set up a archway. How could there be such a good thing in this world? If he had the intention of killing and wanted to kill me, he would have sent someone in the county government office to intercept us and prevent the three of us from leaving the county government office."

Sui Sheng nodded and said, "So, Zhang Fang is about to take action?"

Lei Heng nodded without comment and replied, "Look, there may be a good show tomorrow..."
