Chapter 139 Li Bin wakes up
Lin Kunlun's brows were furrowed, like a mountain covered by dark clouds. His eyes fell on the memorial in his hand, which was a proof of loyalty written with great effort by County Magistrate Li. He said in a deep voice: "This memorial was submitted by County Magistrate Li to the court. In it, he truthfully recorded what those officers and soldiers did in Xishan County. Their atrocities and injustices were all recorded one by one by County Magistrate Li."
He paused, his voice revealing some worry: "If this memorial is really handed over to the court, then not only General Liu, but also the officials in the prefecture will be implicated and receive the appropriate punishment."
Sun Hao listened to this and felt a chill in his heart. Although he had some contact with the officials in the county, he never thought that the fight between them would be so fierce, even to the point of life and death. He couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that such a deep fight was hidden in this small Xishan County. General Liu must want to conceal the truth, so he is so crazy to hunt down Li Bin."
Lin Kunlun nodded, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "After all, the Great Kun Dynasty governs the military with civil officials. If this matter were known to the court, General Liu's military power would definitely be taken back. And now, the military generals are trying to challenge the status of the civil officials. If this memorial is submitted, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to them."
He took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a bit of determination: "We must find a way to protect Li Bin, and we can't let him be hunted down and killed by those soldiers. His father still has many connections in the court, and we may be able to use them someday."
After hearing this, Sun Hao couldn't help but think of Li Wei's background as a Jinshi. He nodded and said firmly: "Okay! We must protect Li Bin, but this matter needs to be kept secret!"
"I think it's better for me to take a few brothers here to take care of him! We'll make plans after his injury heals! This way, we won't lead those people to Kaoshan Village! But you still have to tell the people who came here today, especially Zhang Shan's people, not to spread the news!" Lin Kunlun had a good impression of Li Bin. And if he wanted to gain a foothold in this world in the future, he would definitely need someone who understood the official class in this world. Li Bin was the most suitable one.
The night was like a cave outside Moxishan County. The faint lights flickered, illuminating a few resolute faces. Lin Kunlun sat in front of the only statue in the temple, holding the memorial tightly in his hand, with a determined light in his eyes.
"Sun Hao, pick a few smart brothers to secretly protect Li Bin." Lin Kunlun ordered in a deep voice, "Be sure to act carefully and don't let General Liu's men notice. At the same time, we must also be on guard against those greedy officers and soldiers. If they know that Li Bin has this memorial, they will definitely come to snatch it by any means necessary."
Sun Hao nodded, a solemn look on his face: "Understood, I'll arrange it right away." He turned and walked out of the temple, and soon came back with a few strong men, each of them with a determined light in his eyes.
"Listen," Lin Kunlun said in a deep voice, "In the days ahead, your mission is to protect Li Bin's safety. This matter is very important to us!"
In the corner of the cave, Li Bin lay quietly, his face pale, and slowly opened his eyes. With the light of the fire in the cave, he checked the surrounding situation.
"Brother Li, you're awake!" Lin Kunlun turned his head and saw that he had opened his eyes and was looking at him.
"What's wrong with me? You saved me!" Li Bin asked.
"You fell off that cliff! Fortunately, someone went there to hunt and found you! Then we brought you to this cave." Lin Kunlun said.
"Are you Lin Kunlun?" Li Bin was a little confused. It was only then that he realized that Lin Kunlun was the one who had written the couplet in his hotel that day.
"Yes, I am Kunlun! Brother Li, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? I have had someone fix your broken leg! I have also applied medicine to the other wounds!"
Lin Kunlun's words made Li Bin feel a little relieved. He struggled hard to sit up, but his body was out of control. The pain made him frown involuntarily.
"Don't move, Brother Li, you need to rest now." Seeing this, Lin Kunlun hurried forward and held him down, letting him lie down again.
"Thank you for saving my life." Li Bin said gratefully. He knew that he was able to survive thanks to the timely rescue of Lin Kunlun and others.
"You're welcome, Brother Li." Lin Kunlun waved his hand, then said seriously, "We saved you not only because you are our friend, but now all you have to do is to recover from your injuries. By the way! How did you fall down? We saw the traces on the cliff, and it seems that many people on horseback have stepped on it!"
Li Bin nodded. He understood that he had a heavy responsibility and that he was in a very dangerous situation. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and asked, "Brother Lin, where is my package?"
Lin Kunlun pondered for a moment, then said: "When we rescued you, you did have a package in your hand! Everything is here, we didn't touch it!"
Wang Jie smiled and took out a package, in which the memorial was also placed.
Li Bin looked at the package excitedly and held it to his chest.
"Okay, I'll follow Brother Lin's arrangements." Li Bin said gratefully. He knew that what he could do now was to trust Lin Kunlun and believe that he would not harm him. Otherwise, he would not save him.
"Can you tell me who is chasing you? If you don't want to tell me, forget it!" Lin Kunlun asked curiously.
"There's nothing to hide! The world is in chaos now! The people who hurt me the most are the government troops! My father couldn't stand the government troops behaving recklessly in Xishan County! So he prepared to write a memorial to impeach them! It's very likely that they got the news, so they sent people to hunt me down!" Li Bin said with a sigh.
"Brother Li! Do you think Da Kun can still be saved?" Lin Kunlun asked demonstratively. He wanted to see if Li Bin was a staunch supporter of Da Kun!
When Li Bin heard Lin Kunlun's question, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "The country of the Great Kun Dynasty has been the support of the people since ancient times. Although the government is now dark, the officials are corrupt, and the generals are domineering, I believe that as long as there is a trace of clarity, this country can still be saved. The current emperor, Emperor Chongming, is still a promising monarch! It's just that he is blinded by the people below!"
