Until Qianye's back disappeared, Lu Sha's legs were firmly wedged on the ground like nails, motionless. His cheeks twitched several times, but in the end he did not open his mouth to accept the challenge.
As a mercenary and bounty hunter, the equipment Du Li brought with him today represented most of his wealth. If Qianye took away all of it, he would be unable to breathe for at least a few years, and his combat power would also be weakened. But at this moment, Lu
Sha Sha knew better that if he took over this decisive battle, he might suffer greater losses.
When Qianye walked down the steps outside the gate of the fighting arena, he paused briefly. The crowd of spectators was still dispersing, and the glances they cast towards him, whether good or bad, were all very cautious.
After scanning for a week and not seeing Li Weishi, Qianye stopped waiting and walked directly to the dormitory area. He won this match easily, which seemed to have disrupted the plans of the people behind the scenes. Li Weishi had originally planned to
I guess I can’t make the argument, so who will the Li family come forward next?
On the way back, Qianye quickly put the dispute with the Li family behind. His mind was now filled with the new ability that had just been successfully activated. This was the first time that he had used Void Flicker with his own power.
Ever since he saw Aiden's journey through the demon realm, Qianye kept recalling the powerful ability to travel through the void that led him to escape from the inheritance world of Anduya.
During the battle today, a rune carrying space knowledge suddenly appeared in the Blood River inheritance, and he naturally activated the ability to flicker in the void. Although the traction trajectory can still be seen and the moving distance is not long, but wait
His strength is further enhanced, and one day he will be able to reach the state where he can travel through the void as he pleases.
Thinking of the battle with Du Li again, Qianye couldn't help but smile. Has his combat skills reached this level? It seems that the life-and-death battle with Aiden was not all fruitless. This kind of gain is more valuable than any amount of military merit.
practical.
In the end, Qianye just thought: If we were to face Zhao Jundu now, who would lose and who would win if we only talked about combat skills?
At this time, someone blocked Qianye's path ahead. Two Li family soldiers said respectfully: "General Qianye, Elder Li Tianquan invites you to see him."
Qianye was a little surprised when he heard the name Li Tianquan. He knew that Li Tianquan was the top manager of the Li family base, but this person actually came forward directly. It seemed that he might have answers to all his questions.
The door to Li Tianquan's office area is very impressive. The light red family background is inlaid with dark gold patterns. It looks like it is made with precision. Only the empire can produce such handmade products. Obviously, these two doors were specially transported from the outer continent.
of.
With the door like this, there is no need to talk about the interior. When he walked into Li Tianquan's office, even though Qianye had already seen the Duke Chengen and Duke Youguo of the Zhao clan, he was still surprised by the luxurious snacks in this office.
It can be seen that most of the furnishings and decorations here are old antiques, and they not only have dates, but also historical stories. But it is not surprising when you think about it. The Li family started with potions and Tianyan. Which of these two is the best?
Well, everything will be filled with money.
The beautiful secretary who led Qianye through the door announced in a sweet and soft voice: "Second Elder, General Qianye has arrived."
Li Tianquan was sitting behind his desk, flipping through a thick stack of documents. When he heard the announcement, he didn't even raise his head. He just pointed to the chair in front of the desk and said, "Sit down."
After Qianye sat down, Li Tianquan continued to review the documents, as if those matters were so urgent that they had to be dealt with at the next moment. However, he summoned Qianye over and chose this time to deal with urgent matters, which was obviously a show of authority.
However, Qianye remained unmoved and sat upright without even the slightest move in his eyes. In fact, he continued the train of thought that had been interrupted by the Li family soldiers and began to recall Zhao Jundu's combat skills.
About a quarter of an hour later, Li Tianquan raised his head and glanced at Qianye with a sharp gaze. When he saw the latter sitting on the ground, wandering in the sky, he couldn't help but suffocated.
He snorted coldly and then said: "General Qianye, you are making things very difficult for me."
Qianye seemed to have just turned his attention to Li Tianquan at this moment, and said calmly: "Oh? The reason for today's fight was that I was the one who was provoked, and many people present saw it. Besides, for the sake of the Li family's face, I
They were very restrained and did not cause any harm to anyone. Why else would Elder Li be in trouble? Could it be that Du Li and Lu Sha really had someone behind them, and even the Jingtang Li family had to give in?"
Li Tianquan almost couldn't control his expression. He didn't expect that Qianye's personality and intelligence were quite different. This young man who had always been a loner and taciturn could be so sharp with his words.
However, Li Tianquan was not easy to get along with. How could he let the topic get sidetracked? He immediately slapped a stack of documents in front of Qianye and said, "General Qianye, don't talk about him. Let's take a look at this first.
"
Qianye flipped through it and saw some complaint records, mainly focusing on the match between treatment and status and strength. Those complainants who did not know whether it was true or false all believed that a brigadier general could enjoy the highest level of treatment. No matter what the reason, there must be something in it.
There is something fishy.
After reading a few items, Qianye stopped flipping back and pushed the document back, his expression still calm, "I signed the agreement with your Li family, does it matter what others think?"
Having said this, Qianye smiled again and said: "Besides, after today, I think even if those guys are dissatisfied, they will never say it out again, at least not in front of me."
After receiving another unreasonable answer, Li Tianquan's face suddenly darkened and he said: "Qianye, the Li family has always treated you with courtesy, but don't think that I am easy to fool." He took out another copy.
The document was photographed in front of Qianye, "Then how do you explain this thing?"
Qianye picked it up and took a look, and saw his own military merit record, as well as the Li family's military merit list and reward distribution list for the past month. Qianye was only ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the military merit list, but on the reward list, because of his excessive
Due to the high basic treatment bonus, it ranks among the top three.
"I don't think there is any problem with this." Qianye pushed the document back again, somewhat understanding what Li Tianquan was going to make a fuss about.
Li Tianquan sneered: "You took so many resources from my Li family, and you have to at least make some achievements to be justified, right? How can you convince the public with so little military merit since the war started? If you can't give a satisfactory explanation today, just last month's record alone,
I’d say any dereliction of duty on your part is a minor offense, even if you passively respond, it’s not too much.”
Qianye pondered for a moment. Although the reason Li Tianquan chose to launch an attack was somewhat reasonable, it was not completely tenable. The contract he signed had a guarantee of military merit, but that was for the entire war. Now that the war has started, he will be held accountable.
If we really want to distinguish the number of military achievements, there is still something to say.
However, Qianye was too lazy to waste time. Since Li Tianquan was here to catch him for his mistakes, he must have prepared a set of excuses. It would be better to just listen to the purpose behind the other party.
He then said: "Is it possible that Elder Li still doesn't know that I completed the latest regional defense mission? As for the small number of military achievements, it is because I met the demon Earl Aiden of the Deep Dark Abyss and fought for many days without achieving any results."
Li Tianquan immediately sneered: "I will send someone to review the completion of the regional defense task. Where is the evidence? You want me to believe that you, a level 10, okay, level 11 general, can actually fight with a famous demon lord for most of the battle?
A month long? Haha."
Needless to say, a hehe is enough to express Li Tianquan's attitude. According to common sense, the combat power of demons is higher than that of dark races of the same level. For a count who comes from a famous demon family, it is not an exaggeration to overestimate the combat power of Li Tianquan by one level. In other words, Li Tianquan
I don't believe the explanation given by Qianye at all.
"Evidence?" Qianye was not irritated by the contempt on Li Tianquan's face. Instead, he smiled slightly and said: "Where are the two Shadow Blades I handed over? Those are the swords of the elite guards of the Deep Dark Abyss.
I can’t get some information to show respect to Tang Li’s abilities, right?”
All the expressions on Li Tianquan's face were gone, leaving only a cold look. He picked up a teapot and played with it in his hand, "Qianye, open the sky and tell the truth. How did you get such a contract? Who is the middleman? And what happened?
How much benefit have I received from you. The rules of my Li family are there and cannot be broken by anyone. But as long as you tell everything, I will give you equal compensation privately. Of course, the salary on the surface will be lowered to satisfy you.
Everyone."
Qianye was quite surprised that the result of Li Tianquan's plan turned out to be a factional dispute within the Li family?
Although there are still many doubts, it is clear that Li Tianquan wants to use him to establish his authority, firstly to defeat his rivals within the family, and secondly to establish his prestige among the free and strong.
Qianye bears the title of the Twin Stars of the Empire. Originally, many strong men would not challenge him face to face even if they were dissatisfied. After easily defeating Du Li in the fighting arena, they may not even be able to entertain the thought of provocation. If Li Tianquan subdues Qianye, then naturally
It also subdued the rest of the people, which had indescribable benefits for the Li family to manage the increasingly large team of free and powerful people.
However, Qianye wasn't interested in being a stepping stone at all, and simply said, "If you plan to break the contract, you don't have to beat around the bush like this."
Li Tianquan's face suddenly darkened and he shouted: "Qianye! Do you really think I have no means to control you?"
Faced with such a naked threat, Qianye's face darkened and he said slowly: "Elder Li, no one is a fool. Just say what you want."
"Very good." Li Tianquan took out another document, placed it in front of Qianye, and said, "Sign this, and I won't pursue the dirty tricks behind you."
Qianye picked up the document and glanced at it. When he saw it was a new employment agreement, the salary was cut in half without any additional military merit rewards.
In addition, many new obligations have been added. For example, during wartime, the Li family has the right to unconditionally recruit people to perform tasks and cannot refuse. The agreement is for five years, and they are not allowed to serve others during this period.
This is no longer an employment agreement for a free and powerful person. Just an unconditional testimonial is equivalent to becoming a vassal of the world.
A sarcastic sneer appeared on Qianye's lips, and he tore the agreement into pieces in front of Li Tianquan, then slapped the shredded paper on the table and said: "Elder Li, you'd better make it clear that it was your Li family who asked for help in the first place.
I'm here, at worst I'll quit."
Li Tianquan didn't seem to expect Qianye's betrayal to be so complete. He slammed the table hard and said angrily: "Qianye, this is the Li family's territory, not a place where you can be arrogant! Do you really think I can't cure you?"
When it came to the last sentence, Li Tianquan's hair suddenly became tense, and his voice suddenly became like rolling thunder.
