Li Changsheng paid out of his own pocket and took out 12,000 taels of silver.

There was news that compensation would be provided to the families of the soldiers who died while accompanying him in suppressing the bandits.

It soon spread like wildfire throughout the entire military camp.

Upon hearing the news, soldiers from both camps secretly gave it a thumbs up in their hearts.

Especially the 1,800 soldiers who had followed Li Changsheng to suppress the bandits were even more grateful to him and were willing to swear allegiance to him until death.

When this news reached Jiang Kuanglong, he was so angry that he was fuming.

"Li Changsheng, you think you can gain a firm foothold in the Imperial Guards by using these few tricks to win people's hearts? That's ridiculous!"

Li Biao, the chief clerk of the army, said, "My lord, should we also give them some compensation? After all, those one thousand soldiers followed the young master into battle, and were completely annihilated."

"Moreover, a large number of them are die-hard fans of our Jiang family. We must not let them feel disappointed!"

Before Li Biao could finish his words, a middle-aged man stood up.

"Li Zhubo, if those people hadn't failed to provide adequate protection, how could Jiang Li have been completely wiped out and even captured?"

"They are so incompetent. We haven't sought retribution from their families. We have already done our utmost. To still want compensation is simply wishful thinking!"

This middle-aged man's name is Jiang Kuanghu.

He is Jiang Kuanglong's biological brother.

However, he is a drunkard who spends his time eating, drinking, gambling and whoring.

But even so, because he was Jiang Kuanglong's younger brother, he was still assigned to Longxiang Guard as the Internal History of Grain.

Commonly known as the grain escort officer!

In charge of all the money and food of the entire Longxiang Guard.

Although Jiang Kuanglong did not agree with his brother's stupid statement.

But he also understood it in his heart.

Under the current circumstances, even if all the pensions are paid out in full.

They could no longer get involved in the Xiaoguo Camp.

In that case, there is no need to spend any more money.

Let Ying Yunhai, Li Changsheng and the others have a good headache!

Without money and food, how long can you hold out?

When Li Biao saw Jiang Kuanglong, he did not refute Jiang Kuanghu's words.

I already understand it in my heart.

All of this was instructed by Jiang Kuanglong.

After figuring out the key points here, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Even the soldiers who fought for the Jiang family and risked their lives ended up in such a miserable state.

If you are no longer useful, you can imagine what will happen to you in the end.

Moreover, Jiang Kuanglong is so indecisive and forgets his principles when it comes to small profits. He is definitely not a person who can accomplish great things.

Let’s look at Li Changsheng again.

Although he is a eunuch, his military strategy, tactics, and vision are several times better than those of the Jiang family.

In time, if the Queen Mother falls.

By then, I'm afraid the entire Jiang family will be uprooted.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!

Thinking of this, Li Biao, who was well-read in Confucian classics, began to become active.

He planned to seize the opportunity to find a way out for himself.

……

At sunset, Li Changsheng prepared to return to Beiyuan.

But at this moment, a soldier suddenly ran over.

"Captain Li, eat the peaches! They're so sweet!"

After saying that, he stuffed the peach into Li Changsheng's hand.

Li Changsheng took the peach and looked at it carefully.

I found four small words written on the peach.

Watch out in the backyard!

Seeing this scene, Li Changsheng couldn't help but be shocked.

He carefully pondered the meaning of the four words "be careful of the backyard".

His expression became particularly solemn under the reflection of the setting sun.

Immediately, he returned to the inner court without stopping.

First, I went back to Beiyuan.

See everything is calm.

He originally wanted to find Qingying and report the matter.

But then I thought, there is no clue yet, so it is not appropriate to trouble Qingying.

So, he settled for the next best thing and found Bai Xue.

"Shirayuki, do me a favor!"

Bai Xue asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Just wait and see!"

Bai Xue was completely confused. She blinked her bright eyes and asked doubtfully:

"Uh, sit back and wait? Do you want me to help you catch the rabbit?"

Li Changsheng: "..."

Well, it’s not unfair to say that you have big breasts but no brains!

"It's not rabbit hunting, but it's almost the same. Don't ask any more questions, just follow me!"

Although Bai Xue was a little reluctant, she couldn't suppress her curiosity and followed.

To be on the safe side, Li Changsheng brought over all the armed eunuchs from the East Factory.

Surrounding the entire Beiyuan, a tight net was set up.

All is ready except for the opportunity!

It would be better if the other party didn’t come.

If anyone dares to come, I will make sure he never returns.

……

On a dark, windy night, it is the time to kill.

A dozen men in black, like ghosts, climbed over the palace wall that separated the outer court from the inner court.

Heading straight towards Beiyuan.

The leader of this group of men in black was none other than him.

It was Jiang Chonghu and Jiang Jian, father and son.

The rest were all assassins secretly trained by their Jiang family.

Jiang Chonghu called all the assassins to his side and made arrangements for them one by one.

"Your mission is to conduct a carpet search of the entire Beiyuan to see if there's any trace of Jiang Li."

"There's another palace maid named Lanzhi in the North Garden. Capture her as well. Remember, capture her alive!"

The assassins nodded expressionlessly, indicating that they understood.

Just as they were about to take action, Jiang Chonghu asked again.

"If you are discovered and it is difficult to escape, do you know what to do?"

The assassins exchanged glances with each other and nodded solemnly.

"understand!"

Jiang Chonghu nodded and said, "I understand. If you sacrifice your lives, your wives, children and parents will be taken care of by our Jiang family."

"But if anyone wants to rebel, before doing so, please think carefully about your wife, children, and parents at home!"

Hearing this, the eyes of these assassins became a little fearful.

Obviously, they were all very clear about the Jiang family's cruel methods of dealing with traitors.

Compared to this, being able to die quickly and peacefully is definitely a happy thing.

"Dad, I'll go too!"

At this time, Jiang Jian hated Li Changsheng to the core and wanted to skin him alive, eat his flesh and drink his blood, so he volunteered again.

Jiang Chonghu saw what his son was thinking and shook his head at him.

"Our mission this time is to explore Beiyuan, not to seek revenge on Li Changsheng. We must not lose the big picture for the sake of small things!"

Jiang Jian had no choice but to lower his head to show that he understood.

Jiang Chonghu stepped forward and patted his son's shoulder, comforting him:

"Jian'er, Li Changsheng is just a eunuch. There are plenty of opportunities to kill him. There's no need to rush!"

Jiang Jian nodded and said, "Father is teaching me that I am obsessed with appearances!"

Seeing that his son was so sensible, Jiang Chonghu smiled with relief.

If Jiang Li is really dead.

Then the future of the new generation of the Jiang family may be left to their own son to shoulder.

By then, their lineage might become the main branch of the Jiang family.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chonghu couldn't suppress his pride and laughed out loud towards the sky.
