Li Xiaomo frowned and listened carefully. He didn't notice that there were other people waiting around the tent. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Zexing had evil intentions, he did things fairly. But there was a surge of anger in his heart.
, Li Zexing is too bold. If this matter is known to Hetao, who knows what kind of disturbance will be caused.
Instructing Tong Yan to sit down, Li Xiaomo said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tong, I, Li Xiaomo, am no longer the eldest son of the Li family in Qinchuan, but the commander of the Haotian Empire's Destroyed Legion. You can call me Li Xiaomo or Li Xiaomo."
Any general can do it."
"Your Majesty..." Li Zexing opened his mouth and shouted.
Li Xiaomo's face darkened, and he suddenly shouted angrily: "Shut up! Get out!"
Li Xiaomo didn't like to get angry, and he was used to his always smiling face. When he suddenly saw how angry he was, Li Zexing was shocked. Looking at Li Xiaomo's cold eyes without any emotion, Li Zexing couldn't help but wonder.
Dare to say more, and quickly exited in a polite manner.
The boy's face was as strong as a mountain falling in front of him without changing his expression. He still smiled and said: "Why should the prince be angry? In my heart, the prince will always be the prince of the Qinchuan Li family, and he is the most outstanding hero in the world today."
Seeing that Li Xiaomo's face was still cold, the childish face said with a smile: "When old friends meet, will the prince be stingy even for a cup of tea?"
Li Xiaomo hesitated for a moment, but still did not get up, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tong, I, Li Xiaomo, don't want to ask you how you escaped with your life on the battlefield. I am not the eldest son of the Li family in Qinchuan now. I am just a
Soldiers, soldiers of the Haotian Empire, obeying orders is my first rule."
Tong Yan sneered: "Oh, if I remember correctly, the order issued by Hetao is that if you see me, you will kill me without mercy. So why doesn't the general execute the military order now?"
Li Xiaomo also smiled coldly, but this time he stood up and poured Tong Yan a cup of tea before sitting down again: "Mr. Tong, no matter what the positions of both parties are, we were friends after all.
.Before you died, the general came to see you, which was also an end to the friendship in the past. After drinking this cup of tea, the general will naturally deal with you."
Tong Yan's color suddenly changed. The teacup in his hand shook inadvertently, and the hot tea was poured into his hand without even noticing. Looking at Li Xiaomo intently, Tong Yan said in a deep voice: "Is the prince planning to hand me over to the Loop?"
"If you were not the one who must be killed by the lord himself, and your family must be destroyed, the general will definitely show your head to the public now!"
"Your Majesty, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Collude with foreign races, smuggle funds to the enemy, kill my people, and are willing to be traitors and lackeys for their own selfish interests. Such people will not regret death even if they are cut into pieces!" Li Xiaomo said word for word.
Tong Yan's face finally changed. He knew that Li Xiaomo was not joking, nor was he trying to lower his stakes. As a giant businessman who has dealt with risks for a long time, Tong Yan knew very well that Li Xiaomo was telling the truth, and he
There is no doubt that after I drink this cup of tea, the other party will kill me with one knife.
"Although most of the forces of my Tong family have withdrawn from China, they still have strong strength in places such as Jinhua Mitsukoshi and Dongwa. Moreover, the Hu family is the in-laws of my Tong family. If the prince is willing to cooperate with us,
We will definitely be able to help the prince." Tong Yan said slowly. The more nervous he is, the calmer he becomes. This is his experience in shopping malls for many years.
The Hu family that Tong Yan was talking about was the Jiangnan Hu family among the four major merchant families before Qingfeng. Although the Hu family, like the Tong family, was a staunch ally of the Holy Sect of Paradise, at that time, his main forces were in Jiangnan Dahu.
As a result, both routes were destroyed by the war, and the Hu family's strength was greatly reduced. Now they have moved to the Anyue area.
However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even now, the Tong family and the Hu family are still extremely wealthy. No matter who it is, as long as they can get the support of these two families, their funds will be guaranteed to be sufficient.
Li Xiaomo sneered. It must have been for this reason that Li Zexing took huge risks to protect the man in front of him.
"Is there anything else?" Li Xiaomo asked with a smile.
The childlike face also smiled, and Li Xiaomo finally no longer kept a straight face, and was obviously a little tempted. At that moment, his expression relaxed, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said calmly: "Your Majesty, in terms of funds,
It's just one factor. The Tong family's business names are all over the Eastern Continent. Especially after the civil war in the empire, a large number of our business names were transferred to Jinhua Mitsukoshi. Now, my Tong family and the Hu family have great influence in Jinhua Mitsukoshi.
If the Crown Prince is interested, then we can persuade the people in power at Jinhua Mitsukoshi to help the Crown Prince?"
"Are you going to collude with outsiders again?" Li Xiaomo's mouth curled up with a strange arc.
"Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters, so why should the prince be too serious? Since ancient times, it has always been the winners and losers. History books are written by the victors. As long as we succeed, that is enough." Tong Yan said nonchalantly.
"Really?" Li Xiaomo laughed: "But this general wants to disappoint you, Mr. Tong! The defeat of the Li family is due to lack of strength, but the backbone of the Li family has not been broken, and they will not collude for the sake of the family.
The aliens are messing with our country! If you eat everything inside and outside, I don’t want to be with you! Tong Yan, have you finished your tea? If so, prepare to die!"
Tong Yan was shocked, and the tea cup in her hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the tea overflowed. Li Zexing outside the tent thought something had happened inside, and rushed in. When he saw Tong Yan's face was ashen, and Li Xiaomo was
With murderous intent on his face, he secretly yelled something bad. Just as he was about to speak, Li Xiaomo spoke first: "Li Zexing, remember, if you really want my Qinchuan Li family to continue, then it's best not to have anything to do with these people in the future.
Such a mess of people to come into contact with. Otherwise, sooner or later, the Li family will be harmed by you people!"
After saying that, the lid of the tea cup in his hand was suddenly thrown out. Tong Yan snorted and immediately sat softly on the chair. Li Xiaomo took a step forward and looked at Li Zexing murderously: "Remember, Qin Chuan is not only
For one Li family, there are more than seven million fellow villagers!"
"Come here!" Li Xiaomo shouted in a deep voice: "Tie up Tong Yan and hand him over to Mr. Luo."
In order to show his sincerity, Li Xiaomo personally tied up Tong Yan and sent him to Luo Xiang. However, to Li Xiaomo's surprise, when Luo Xiang saw Tong Yan following him, his face did not change at all.
Li Xiaomo secretly called out luck. The Li family was safe, but the Hetao also had Soul Eater. Moreover, after Lu Bumi's betrayal, Soul Eater had also been greatly improved. It was obvious that Tong Yan's matter had been settled a long time ago.
In Luo Xiang's eyes, it's just that this gloomy old man never made it clear.
"General, please sit down. Mr. Tong, you also sit down." Luo Xiang stroked his sleeve casually, and the rope tied to Tong Yan's body suddenly broke, and even the acupuncture points sealed by Li Xiaomo were untied. Tong Yan's expression was unkind.
, but he couldn't say anything at this time. He sat down on a chair at the bottom and looked at Luo Xiang with a serious face.
Li Xiaomo probed: "Sir, do you know everything?"
Luo Xiang nodded and smiled: "There are many people on the battlefield, and it is not easy to see things like others. Besides, Li Zexing is not you, Li Xiaomo. If you were the general at that time, you would definitely not leave any clues."
Li Xiaomo smiled bitterly. Luo Xiang already knew about this matter, but he still ignored it after so many days. It was obvious that he had a big conspiracy. If he hadn't escorted Tong Yan over, he might really have done it.
Let Li Zexing and others poke more holes.
"Luo Jiuyuan, is this how you entertain guests when old friends meet?" The two of them ignored Tong Yan at all, and Tong Yan couldn't help but muttered. Although he is only a merchant, but when a merchant has reached his level, even if he is a prince,
He didn't dare to look down upon him. Who knew that Luo Xiang didn't even look at him, so he naturally felt aggrieved.
Luo Xiang didn't take it seriously either. His identity had already spread throughout the world, but everyone was worried about his status and didn't dare to say it openly. He turned to look at Tong Yan, Luo Xiang smiled and said: "Brother Tong, today I am
I thought you died on the battlefield, and I was very melancholy for a while. Now that I see you alive and well, I am really relieved."
The childish face said disdainfully: "Young cat cries like a mouse and you are showing mercy!"
Luo Xiang shook his head and said gracefully: "Brother Tong, you misunderstood. At that time, I was thinking that if a national scum like you died so easily, wouldn't it be an advantage for you? The city wall of Niantian Shengjing
Come on, I specially reserved a place for you."
Tong Yan's face changed drastically, and Li Xiaomo was also shocked. He originally thought that Luo Xiang was going to interrogate Tong Yan Haosheng and find out all the things in his heart before killing him. He didn't expect that Luo Xiang actually
Directly to this extent.
Luo Xiang slapped his hands, and the two soldiers quickly opened the camp tent and walked in.
"Send more manpower and send Mr. Tong to the Holy Capital of Niantian. Tell Master Lin that you can help Mr. Tong find a place with a nice view. Haha, brother Tong, I remember that you always like to climb high and overlook the distance to compose poems impromptu.
I think Master Lin will not treat you badly."
Tong Yan was so angry that he no longer cared about being gentle at this time. He struggled and cursed loudly. He originally thought that with his family status, Luo Xiang would be more scrupulous and might let him go, but he didn't know that Luo Xiang was basically
A lunatic was actually planning to drag him to the Holy Capital of Tiandu to build a city. But as soon as he opened his mouth, a soldier came over and slapped him, and immediately removed his jaw. Not to mention opening his mouth to curse, he even closed it.
The mouth is no longer possible.
"Remember, Mr. Tong will be entertained along the way. His level should not be worse than Wan Chengdong." Luo Xiang said with a smile.
The two soldiers were both masters trained by Luo Xiang in the later period. They were naturally able to deal with a weak merchant like Tong Yan. They almost twisted Tong Yan's collar with one hand and lifted him out.
As soon as Tong Yan left, there was something awkward in the tent. Li Xiaomo kept picking up the tea cup, while Luo Xiang closed his eyes and meditated. The atmosphere was quite strange.
Finally, it was Li Xiaomo who broke the silence: "Sir, this matter..."
Luo Xiang waved his hand to block Li Xiaomo's words: "General, I don't blame you for this matter. In fact, you handled it very well. Li Zexing and the others were too careless in doing things, and they were discovered by Commander Xue. If it hadn't been for Feng
Shuai persuaded Xue Shuai, and Xue Shuai will definitely have a plate of appetizers before heading to Dongbo."
Li Xiaomo smiled bitterly. It seemed that he still wanted to be respectful and loyal. However, since Xue Sha knew about this matter, Xin Ke must also know about it, and it would be difficult to deal with the aftermath.
Luo Xiang stared at Li Xiaomo blankly, until Li Xiaomo felt horrified, and then he said: "General, have you really not considered it?"
"What to consider?"
"General, you don't have to be like this. We in Hetao really regard you as a friend, so we turn a blind eye to many things. There are not many people I can like in this life, but you are definitely one of them.
." Luo Xiang said with some emotion. This is to be honest. At the beginning, Luo Xiang did intend to use Li Xiaomo to lure out the Li family in Qinchuan, but Li Xiaomo finally used his talent and character to get Luo Xiang.
and others' approval, so Luo Xiang hoped to have a frank and open talk with him.
Li Xiaomo straightened his body: "Sir, you fell in love with the wrong person."
"General Li, many people in your Li family are very restless. The reason why we have not been ruthless is not because we dare not, nor because we cannot deploy our troops, but because we are worried about our friendship with you, General. General,
I have some suggestions for you."
Li Xiaomo said seriously: "Sir, please speak." Although Luo Xiang was gloomy and cunning, Li Xiaomo could clearly feel that Luo Xiang was sincere in what he said just now, so his expression became serious.
"First, you manage your family members well. I can recommend you as the governor of Qinchuan Road. I will give you up to three years to fully comfort Qinchuan and not make any big mistakes."
Li Xiaomo frowned slightly. He believed in his ability. In three years, he could completely hold Qinchuan in his hands. However, Luo Xiang's intention was very clear, which was to eliminate all unstable factors within Qinchuan.
, but his father and the soldiers who were loyal to the Li family are basically unstable factors. Can he wipe them all out?
"Secondly, the current core and hope of your Li family is probably the Destroyed Legion in front of you. The general is also a famous young general. He should understand how the combat effectiveness of the Destroyed Legion compares with our Hetao army. Why don't you find an opportunity to join us?
Send them all out, so that your family will no longer have enough strength to rely on, so it will naturally become more honest and peaceful."
Li Xiaomo took a breath of air. If it was a battlefield fight, then even if the entire army of the Destroyed Legion was annihilated, he would only be heartbroken. However, Luo Xiang actually planned to let himself find an excuse and let these soldiers go and die.
These are his own people in Qinchuan, how can he bear it? Shaking his head, Li Xiaomo expressed his attitude firmly.
Luo Xiang sighed: "In that case, general, you should spend more effort on your own and properly discipline the soldiers below you. General, you must remember one thing. The lord hates betrayal most. Rebellion will kill the nine tribes.
"
Luo Xiang spoke and made a gesture of invitation. Li Xiaomo wisely put down his teacup and exited the camp. He was unwilling to choose the first and second of the three paths given by Luo Xiang, so he could only take the third.
Lu. It turns out that the thoughts of the family members have never been hidden from Hetao. And with Hetao's fiery temper, it is really not easy for him to tolerate it until now.
He has a very good relationship with Hetao, and Hetao does owe Qin Chuan a favor. However, this does not mean that Hetao will tolerate it again and again. If one day he crosses the line, the consequences will inevitably be serious.
Sheng Lanxin worked hard and arrived in Tiandu Shengjing in less than a day. However, as soon as she entered Tiandu Shengjing, Shenglan Xin, who was still enthusiastic at first, suddenly calmed down. As the deputy commander of the Zhulu Army,
, without getting orders from Haotian, he abandoned his troops and ran back directly to Tiandu Shengjing. This has seriously violated military law. Who knows how Hetao will deal with it.
The second is how to persuade Haotian after meeting him. It is not difficult to meet Haotian, whether it is through the qualifications of the deputy commander of the Zhulu Legion, or through Xian Lianchen Qiumu and others, but if you want to persuade Haotian,
Not an easy task.
Sheng Lanxin is not an impulsive person. On the contrary, she is quite calm. But this incident was so cruel that she was so stimulated that she rushed back to Tiandu Shengjing without hesitation. She thought about it carefully.
, Sheng Lanxin decided to go to Xian Lianchen, Qiu Mu and others first. After all, they were Haotian's wives. If they could stand on her side, they would be somewhat helpful to Haotian.
Although Haotian has proclaimed himself emperor, he has not moved into the palace in Tiandu Shengjing. He still lives in the Jingbei Hou Mansion, but the security here is much tighter.
As soon as she entered Tiandu Shengjing, Sheng Lanxin was surprised to find that in less than ten days, Tiandu Shengjing had become a lot more lively. Not only were there a lot more pedestrians on the streets and alleys, but most of the faces
There were sincere smiles all over the room. And Sheng Lanxin also noticed that the city defense and public security of Tiandu Shengjing were much better. In the past, when walking in Tiandu Shengjing, I would always see some rich villains or meritorious nobles bullying ordinary people.
Things happened, but now they are not happening at all.
Probably all the meritorious nobles in Tiandu Shengjing were killed by Hetao, and the remaining people honestly did not dare to stand up. Sheng Lan thought in her heart, but although Hetao was established as a country,
The world has not been pacified yet, so there are no princes or ministers, so there are not many nobles in the Holy Capital of Tiandu who can be regarded as meritorious nobles.
When she came to Jingbei Palace, Sheng Lanxin first went to visit Qiu Mu and others. She was a little worried. Qiu Mu and Xian Lianchen were both very energetic. Now the atmosphere in Tiandu Shengjing has been restored.
Busy, who knows if these two women will come back from shopping. But she is very lucky. The two women have just come back from outside, so after a brief notice, a servant invited him inside.
