The man was dissatisfied with his mother's cautious attitude.
He made a cut sound and pushed away his mother's hand without hesitation.
"Mom, you must be too careful. The old immortal is a human being and not a god. How come there are so many walls with ears?"
The man's mother was speechless when faced with her son's attitude.
He said immediately and earnestly.
"It's always good to be careful anyway."
The man couldn't resist his mother, so he could only nod perfunctorily.
But in my heart, I still sneer at the so-called partition walls.
In his opinion, it was just his mother who was too careful.
After the mother and son murmured for a while.
The mother couldn't help but sighed and advised.
"If it really doesn't work, you'd better listen to the old man and go to Jiangnan Province, otherwise neither of us will be able to get anything done."
"But remember, after you go to Jiangnan Province, it's okay to work without exerting any effort. Don't be stupid and act as a charge."
The man rolled his eyes and said impatiently that he understood.
He is not a fool.
I knew that going to Jiangnan Province this time would be of no use even if I got a lot of credit.
How could he stupidly use it as someone else's knife?
Of course, it would be best to stay here in Kyoto.
This will make it easier for him to carry out subsequent actions and obtain the position of heir to the Li family.
This is serious business!
However, these words were not suitable for them to continue discussing.
As the man's mother said, walls have ears.
He can still quibble and quibble when other words are heard.
But if those words were heard, it would be irrefutable proof.
It's night.
It's very quiet at night here in the Li family's old house.
There wasn't even the sound of insects.
And from inside Mr. Li’s study.
One of the worshipers stepped out and walked out.
The man who didn't want to go to Jiangnan Province during the day was fast asleep in his room.
Then I touched the offering.
The man didn't know what he was dreaming about in his sleep, and muttered a few words about immortality.
Immediately he turned over without warning.
The worshiper quietly walked to the bedside and raised the dagger to the man's heart.
Pfft——
The sound of the blade sinking into flesh was heard.
Immediately afterwards, the man silently lost his breath in his sleep.
After the monk finished these things, he jumped out of the window without raising his head.
No clues were revealed from beginning to end.
After a while, the worshiper came directly to the study room of the Li family's old house.
And Mr. Li is still sitting in the study at such a late hour.
As soon as the worshiper came in, he immediately knelt down on one knee and reported the report respectfully.
"Old man, my subordinates have already eliminated the person."
Mr. Li looked down at something, hummed without raising his head, and then waved his hand.
The offering cleverly disappeared into the shadows.
After waiting for a long time, Mr. Li finally raised his head.
Looking at the night outside, he sighed.
The next morning.
The people who were named to go out with Mr. Li yesterday gathered at the door of the study early.
All three of them had smiles on their faces.
While waiting for Mr. Li to come out, they were talking a lot.
"When I go to Jiangnan Province this time, I will definitely show off my talents. They are just a bunch of country bumpkins, so there is nothing difficult to deal with."
"Yeah, I think Li Jianglong must have been too big, that's why he capsized in the gutter."
"Anyway, we will never follow in the footsteps of Li Jianglong. Besides, I don't believe that the people in Jiangnan Province can deal with us together."
"This is true. The three of us have to help each other when we arrive in Jiangnan Province. When we get back home, everyone will have credit."
"No, yesterday I remembered that the old man ordered four people. Why is there one missing?"
At this time, these three people discovered that one person was missing among them.
So they all looked at each other.
Someone in the middle laughed and joked.
"Did the missing person oversleep and lose track of time?"
Of course, everyone knows that what this person says is unreliable.
After all, this is something Mr. Li personally explained.
Even if they had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, they would not dare to delay Mr. Li's order.
If people don't come, that may mean one thing.
He does not want to go to Jiangnan Province.
And we even reached an agreement with the old man in private!
Someone said disdainfully.
"What I despise the most is this kind of coward. I never thought there would be such a person in our Li family."
"Haha, one less person is not a good thing. One less person can share the credit with us."
"Yes, anyway, it has nothing to do with us whether he goes or not. It's just fine if he doesn't go."
The rest of the people all had a happy attitude.
After all, in their view, this matter in Jiangnan Province is very important to the Li family.
As long as they achieve something in Jiangnan Province, it will be very beneficial for them to compete for the position of heir to the Li family in the future.
One less person to share the credit with.
This means that after the incident in Jiangnan Province is over, it will be more likely for them to succeed in becoming the heirs of the Li family.
So it is good to have less personal competition.
As everyone talked, they didn't take the laggards into consideration.
Mr. Li listened to the discussions outside and waited silently.
After a while, when the people outside were talking about it, he slowly walked out.
"Old man."
Seeing Mr. Li's figure, everyone stopped what they were about to say.
Say hello to Mr. Li respectfully.
Mr. Li nodded, glanced at everyone's faces one by one, and then asked.
"Are you all ready?"
Although Mr. Li said, let them gather at the door today.
But it didn't tell everyone what to do.
So everyone looked at each other, and then said in unison.
"Ready."
Mr. Li then waved his hand: "The place I am taking you to today is very confidential and is related to matters in Jiangnan Province."
"Before setting off, you must remember one thing. No matter what you see or hear, treat it as if you cannot see it or hear it, let alone spread it outside. Do you understand?"
No one expected that the place they were going to this time would be so mysterious.
Then one or two of them looked nervous and agreed one after another.
Mr. Li saw with satisfaction that everyone was in high spirits, and then he led them out of the door of the Li family's old house.
at this time.
In the corner of the Li family's old house.
The mother and son who said yesterday they didn't want to go to Jiangnan Province's home.
Mother gets up early in the morning to make breakfast.
After finishing, I waited for my son to come out to eat.
But it took a long time to wait.
She thought her son had slept in, so she immediately walked to her son's room muttering.
I was thinking about it as I walked.
He had to ask his son to get up as soon as possible and go to Mr. Li's place to gather after breakfast.
Let's make it clear to Mr. Li as soon as possible that we will not go to Jiangnan Province.
