The silence lasted for a long time. Li Zhiyan seemed to be giving Li Xiaofeng time to think about it. He patiently sipped his wine and looked at the looming low buildings on the other side with a relaxed expression.
Li Zhiyan is not worried about whether Li Xiaofeng understands what he wants to express. If Li Xiaofeng can't understand, then at most it just means that they are not in the same group. If they are not in the same group and cannot be teammates, then use it briefly. The worst result is nothing more than this moment.
Just destroy this cultivation genius.
Just like Li Xiaoxi, the little girl was an important person when he liked him, but now Li Xiaoxi has become a chess piece involving a powerful relationship with the Hong Mansion, so all Li Zhiyan needs to do is to use this chess piece carefully, that's all. But when it comes to Li Zhiyan
It is true that I loved Li Xiaoxi when I was a child. At least it was true that that little girl always brought me happiness. But it was not as exaggerated as the rumors in the market. Two major actions shook the original wealthy system, including dealing with the two elders.
The family is actually just doing it to make Li Zhiyan's hegemonic position more stable.
At this moment, Li Zhiyan hopes so much that Li Xiaofeng understands what he means. Compared with Li Xiaoxi, Li Xiaofeng is the only descendant outside the family that he likes. He hopes that Li Xiaofeng understands that Li Yihong will stop thinking about any miracles and wants to save Li Xiaoxi.
You can only cooperate with him, Li Zhiyan, and you have to beg to cooperate with yourself; the most important thing is that you, Li Xiaofeng, have to follow my script, Li Zhiyan, in order to follow the script well, otherwise I'm afraid you will end up with nothing.
Li Zhiyan couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he thought of this. If Li Xiaofeng was really so ignorant, it would be a pity for such a genius.
"Some things are better explained." Li Xiaofeng finally spoke.
"Tell me and listen"
"Since you agreed to Li Senlin's proposal, then I can't avenge Xiaoxi?"
"It depends on who you are targeting."
"What if I have to target the entire Hong Mansion?"
"Death! You are the first." The great elder said calmly, still looking into the distance without even looking back.
"Haha, do you really think I can't move the Hong Mansion without you?" Li Xiaofeng stood up slowly, took a step to the side and exploded all his cultivation, in an attempt to make Li Zhiyan understand his ability.
But the next moment, his eyes widened and he stared in disbelief at Li Zhiyan, who was slowly turning around in front of him. His body was getting heavier and heavier, and all his spiritual energy seemed to be being forcibly pulled by the ground, trying to force his
His body was flattened on the ground. Li Xiaofeng felt an unprecedented danger of death. This pressure reached its extreme when he saw Li Zhiyan's cold eyes. His body disobeyed and fell to his knees directly on the ground, sweating profusely.
"You don't have time to feel the difference, but you have time to want to die?" Li Zhiyan paused and said, "Boy! I'll give you another chance."
The sound Li Xiaofeng heard at this moment seemed to come directly from his brain, which made him feel a buzzing in his head. It seemed that he could only give up resistance and kneel down in front of Li Zhiyan to keep his brain from bursting.
"Hmph, I thought you were a child with general knowledge, but now I am a little disappointed."
"Please make it clear, Great Elder." At this moment, Li Xiaofeng still could not raise his head, nor could he raise his head, because his lowered facial expression was full of anger and dissatisfaction, and there were even two drops of tears about to burst out of his eyes.
...
The next day, Li Xiaofeng took the Great Elder's letter of appointment to the city wall and took up a casual position there. He was responsible for planning routes for the hunting team and patrol team. Most of the time, he took a subordinate to the forest to survey the terrain. Of course,
This subordinate was also appointed by the great elder and belonged to 'one of his own'. Since he took office, almost no one has been able to track the whereabouts of Li Xiaofeng and his subordinates, but no one cares about it. After all, he is a person appointed by the big shots above, and he is just a backdoor guy.
But what Li Xiaofeng really wants to do is to completely hide his identity and collect evidence of the Hong Mansion in the middle of the night like a thief. What Li Zhiyan explained is that although the Hong Mansion is unfathomable now, there is no way for a foundation-building master to have a second one.
.With Li Xiaofeng's current strength, the wisest choice is to hide away from the city lord's palace and investigate in the dark. Li Zhiyan can use his own power to cooperate with him secretly. Except that the content is only about Li Xiaoxi, Li Xiaofeng can keep it to himself.
All the investigated information and evidence must be handed over to him within three days.
After Li Xiaofeng investigated and analyzed, he finally understood what the great elder wanted to do.
Just like the conditions set by the Great Elder: He provided Li Xiaofeng with a convenient path for investigation, and promised to stand up and seek justice for Li Xiaoxi at the critical moment. Li Xiaofeng, on the other hand, wanted him to thoroughly investigate the Hong Mansion and find out all the relationships in the Hong Mansion.
Net. It would be better if we could find a way to get information about the secret book that the mysterious woman left behind.
The reason why Li Xiaofeng worked so hard to collect information for him was because of what Li Zhiyan said to him at the end - "If the conditions are right, at least I can help you get rid of Li Jianfan first."
Li Xiaofeng knew that regardless of Li Zhiyan's strength or the conditions proposed by Li Senlin, it was impossible for Li Zhiyan to refuse. Just as he himself could not refuse the cooperation of the great elder. Both of them had a common goal, and the weaker party had become someone who could be defeated.
A chess piece that can be abandoned at any time.
Li Xiaofeng and Li Zhiyan both want to target the Hong Mansion. Li Xiaofeng wants justice, and Li Zhiyan wants advantage. From the moment Li Senlin appears, this is the best possible outcome for the two of them for the time being. Li Senlin lets Li Xiaofeng know
His hope of destroying all the members of the Hong Mansion was basically in vain; and what Li Zhiyan knew was that he would have to cooperate with the Hong Mansion for a long time to complete his dream of revitalizing the clan. But there was a subtle point in this.
, Li Zhiyan is not willing to let the Yan Mansion, which has been dominant for more than two hundred years since his grandfather, succumb to the Hong Mansion. Therefore, he wants to help Li Xiaofeng, not only to be able to restrict the Hong Mansion from now on, but at least to let everyone know and admit that he, Li Zhiyan
He is still the chief elder of this city, and the Hong Mansion is not qualified to replace him.
Time continues to pass day by day, and now the rumors about the snitch in the entire city have almost been turned into children's songs. Although Li Xiaofeng has not visited the two outermost residential areas in the outer city, even farmers whose food was stolen and women from brothels
The stolen underwear was all blamed on him. The brothel woman even said that she saw a wretched and thin man steal her underwear. But only those who are close to the inner city or the big families in the inner city know that the snitch
He is by no means a simple thief. What he likes is usually high-end goods. He does not take ordinary gold, silver and jewelry at all. What he likes to steal most is the kind of treasure that cannot be seen in the light. For example, the treasure that should be in Chun Mansion appears in
Qiu Mansion, it would definitely be stolen if discovered by this snitch. There are also treasures brought back from the forest that have never been made public. They are also the snitch's favorite. However, of course, these operations were deliberately confuse by Li Xiaofeng.
blindfold.
"I heard that you stole the underwear of a young lady from a brothel yesterday?" Li Xiaoxi asked Li Xiaofeng, who was sitting next to him, with a sideways glance.
"Yeah, I was passing by and it smelled so good that I couldn't help it." Li Xiaofeng smiled mischievously.
"Okay, did you really steal it?"
"Haha, of course I lied to you."
After a brief silence of stroking their hands and looking at each other, Li Xiaoxi became worried
"There are still three days left, you..."
Li Xiaofeng took her hand and put it on his chest, looking into her eyes seriously.
"Don't worry, in two days I will make those who have hurt you pay the price."
"Brother Xiaofeng, please take me away."
"Of course, I promised you."
"I mean, leave now." Li Xiaoxi turned his body completely to face Li Xiaofeng
"Now?"
"Yes, we don't have to go through the forest. We can just walk north along the boundary river and find a place where we can survive. From now on, I will weave and you will farm." Li Xiaoxi recently heard Li Xiaofeng talk a lot about this city.
She understood how dangerous it was to seek justice for herself this time, so she might as well live in seclusion with brother Xiaofeng. Two hundred years ago, her ancestors migrated from the north, so it would be inappropriate to go there.
I will meet the people who live here again.
"Men farm and women weave..." Li Xiaofeng thought about completely overthrowing the Hong Mansion and then relying on his own strength to find a place in the city. He thought about taking Li Xiaoxi through the forest to a wider world after he built the foundation.
But he never thought that his future picture would be like this... He was suddenly shaken...
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. If it doesn't work, I will kill those two father and son, and then take you away!" After saying that, he hugged Li Xiaoxi and kissed her gently on the forehead.
That night Li Xiaofeng went to see Li Zhiyan again.
"Great Elder, if you keep putting it off, Xiaoxi's wedding will be in three days."
"Why are you so anxious? Have you found the evidence that Hong Mansion blocked the hunting team's trophies?"
Due to the influence of the fog, even the agricultural level of the guardians cannot be self-sufficient at all. Therefore, the guardians on the city wall have had two teams on duty for a long time, one is a patrol team and the other is a hunting team. Although the mission has
The purpose is the same, but the content of the mission is clearly distinguished. The patrol team's main mission is inspection, while the hunting team's mission is supplies.
As the peace lasted longer and longer, people's needs, or the needs of wealthy families with food and clothing, began to become higher and higher, and a higher-level team appeared.
The hunting team literally means hunting ferocious beasts. Their main task is to hunt ferocious beasts. This team is usually composed of at least members of the Zhoutian realm or above, and even more than half of the members are in the air control realm. Hunting ferocious beasts means
There are higher risks, but also higher rewards. Every time the hunting team returns, they can usually bring back precious items to the guardians. There are materials, medicines, fruits, food, etc. Even if they just bring
If you bring back a pheasant, it will definitely be more delicious and nutritious than other chickens.
Sometimes when hunting a beast successfully, the harvest is even more exaggerated. Every beast is full of treasures. From the skin to the internal organs, only the people in the inner city can enjoy each piece. If it is a monster with inner elixir,
, then only the Great Elder is qualified to decide how to distribute it.
According to medical officers and cultivators who have eaten monster beasts, the meat of monster beasts is an extremely beneficial tonic for cultivation, and it is far more beneficial for ordinary people to eat it than ordinary meat. Many children of wealthy families have eaten it.
As the level of monster meat increases, one can imagine the importance of the hunting team.
However, in the past ten years, since the Great Elder went into seclusion, the performance of the hunting team has been very dismal. The number of successful hunts of monsters has dropped from about ten times a year to once a year at most, and the number of inner elixirs has been reduced to one in ten years.
It has never appeared, and even precious medicinal materials have disappeared in the past three years.
Originally, Li Zhiyan could easily find out the reasons for these things, but since Li Yihong started to intervene in the hunting team's affairs seven years ago, he doubled the number of hunting team members in one year. In the second year, Li Zhiyan became the hunting team.
The great grandson of the captain of the team died in a hunting operation. What is even more suspicious is that the base camp of the hunting team caught fire soon, and all the records were burned. So now even if Li Zhiyan knows that his grandson died at the hands of Li Yihong, even if he knows
The hunting team of the past ten years had all served his Hongfu family. But he had no choice but to assign Li Xiaofeng a position at the city wall in the hope that it would be more convenient for him to investigate this matter. Unexpectedly, there has been no progress so far.
