After leaving Wang's mansion, Li Po took a few deep breaths of fresh air.
The game with the clan has been going on from the moment he entered Jinyang City.
To this end, he made a lot of considerations and made a lot of compromises, and he never intended to use swords or guns to make them bow their heads.
He wanted to use a gentler way to tell people from these powerful families that they would have a place under his rule and there was nothing to worry about.
But this definitely does not mean that he is weak and can be bullied. He even thinks that he, Li Po, is wary of the powerful families, or that he has to rely on them. If someone really thinks that, Li Po sneers in his heart, that is really a big mistake.
Very wrong.
He has never played the game of killing chickens to scare monkeys because he feels that there are always better means and there are always more choices before people. It depends on whether you are smart enough and can think of it. If the means are too rough,
, in addition to showing one's incompetence, it will also be much more ugly.
But if someone really sticks their head in front of him and insists on being like that chicken, he won't hesitate at all when taking the knife.
After all, he is a man who fought out of thousands of troops. He definitely does not lack the determination and will to make decisive decisions, and he is also not afraid of bloodshed.
Li Po looked back at the Wang family's spacious door behind him and the plaque hanging on it, and raised his brows. It would indeed be a pity if such a family was really destroyed by Li Po.
So such a tomb must have been dug by the incompetent Wang family descendants in the house themselves...
Xue Wanche, who was standing next to him, handed Li Po the reins of his horse with his own hands and said in a deep voice: "General manager, if the Wang family is in trouble, I will lead the troops to kill them with my own hands."
What he said sounded no different from what Yu Wenxin said, but the meaning was completely different.
Yu Wenxin was afraid that he would be implicated, but Xue Wanche was really murderous and was willing to bear the infamy that would follow for Li Po.
Yuan Muye, who was on the other side, was moving forward. He was afraid that Li Po wouldn't be able to see him, so he almost shouted, "It's better for me to take charge."
Of course, Yuan Muye had nothing to say. He just liked the head of the Wang family and didn't consider anything else.
Li Po casually patted Xue Wanche on the shoulder, "It's not a good thing to kill people here. You should save some energy and think about how to chop off the heads of Li Zhongwen and Jiang Yuyi next year."
Xue Wanche grinned widely and hammered his chest hard, "General manager, don't worry, it is the duty of the general to kill the enemy in front of the battle array. Does the general want to build another guard house based on his military exploits?"
"Yeah, your ambition is not small. If Yuchi Gong and the others heard about it, they wouldn't be happy."
"As long as the manager is happy, no one else needs to care."
Li Po laughed heartily, and the previous unhappiness immediately dissipated a lot. He got on his horse and said, "Come on, follow me to that Ruyi Building. There will definitely be happy things there."
In fact, as he and Yu Wenxin said, he really wasn't too worried about Wang's determination to rather live in ruins than in ruins.
Look at how timid they are, they can't do anything big.
If he was still a little uneasy when he entered Jinyang, then now, with the power of chasing Li Tang in the south and the power of the Turks in the north, these people in Jinyang City really don't matter.
Because he realizes that Jinyang City has slowly come under his control. Compared with when he first took over Yunnei, the process may be different, but the result is not much different.
……………………
After spending a lot of time in Wang's Mansion, when the group arrived at Ruyi Tower, it was already the time when the lanterns were first lit, which meant it was dinner time, so they arrived at just the right time.
The business in Ruyi Building was obviously better than in the daytime. Some carriages and horses were parked in front of the building. In the dusk, the lights inside Ruyi Building were brightly lit and it looked very prosperous.
Of course, the shops where brothels gather are always the brightest color in Jinyang City at night.
When he arrived not far away, Li Po sniffed his nose and his saliva increased. He was indeed a little hungry, but he didn't know if the food in the building would suit his taste.
It was his first time to come to this kind of fireworks place, and he was a little curious.
When he came to the building, he turned over and dismounted, and a large number of figures landed on the ground. In addition to the thumping sound of footsteps, the sound of war horses neighing was also heard.
At this time, the number of guards around Li Po had increased to nearly forty people.
There was no way, the hostess of the housekeeper said she wasn't worried about her husband having sex outside, but she still sent some guards out.
You probably want to tell Li Po that I'm watching you in the house, and I know where you've been.
Well, with such a lady, Li Po has nothing to say.
This large group of people came and immediately made the front door of Ruyi Tower noisy, but it could also be said to be quiet.
Their majesty is incomparable to that of Su Gan and his entourage, who have a strong Hexi horse and a sturdy man. Even if they are not wearing military uniforms or armor, others will never mistake their identities.
This is not a matter of retreating. The people who were planning to come out immediately retreated, and the people who were planning to come over immediately stopped and retreated. Almost everyone was thinking that this was an encounter.
Have you raided your home?
Because they have never seen anyone traveling with so many soldiers in Jinyang City.
Li Po and Su Dan were different. They went straight up the steps and looked around in front of the building. They really wanted to tear down the door of the building. The others were frightened.
The people greeting the guests were also changed, and four or five people came out at once.
An old man with gray hair hunched over and cautiously approached Li Po, and asked in a trembling voice, "Your honor is my guest, do you want to..."
Maybe it was because he was a little uncomfortable in the Wang family's house, but now Li Po became like a pure martial artist.
"No nonsense, what can you do if you enter a brothel?"
Regardless of whether his words made sense or not, the old man nodded repeatedly and looked at the crowd of people in front of the door. "I have a poor eye, I apologize. Please come in quickly. Your servant..."
"You don't have to worry about them, just let people take good care of the horses."
Su Dan didn't want to talk nonsense with little people, but Li Po was very different. As he walked inside, he asked, "Do you have any good food here?"
Well, okay, this man treats the brothel as a restaurant. When he comes in, he doesn't ask about the fans, but asks about food and drinks. If he didn't bring so many guards, his image will be greatly damaged in the eyes of the guests, and the receptionists will not know how to do it.
Too diligent.
But now, it’s a different matter.
Despite his age, the old man is still very articulate.
"Ah, your honorable guest has come to the right place. The food at Ruyilou is the best in Jinyang City."
Immediately, a series of dish names were announced.
Li Po became a little interested when he heard it, because it sounded like wild animals, and even if the craftsmanship was not very authentic, it could satisfy his craving.
As the master of two states, his life was a bit miserable. When he arrived in Jinyang City, his life seemed to be not as good as when he was in Yunnei.
There was no way, there was no shortage of beef and mutton, but the weather was freezing. Apart from being a bit unprofessional for letting people go hunting, he would be heartbroken if these elites who had fought in many battles were frozen out.
It’s not bad to satisfy your appetite here.
Of course, he thinks things are much more complicated now than before. After hearing this, he casually asked: "How much will it cost to put all this in?"
The old man blinked his eyes, he must be surprised.
He received not just one but two distinguished guests. Even the King of Qi, Li Yuanji, also spent time in Ruyi Tower when he was there.
But no distinguished customer has ever asked the price in person.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered his head and said with a smile: "It's not expensive, it's only about forty or fifty dollars..."
Li Po tilted his head and thought for a while. It really wasn't expensive. You must know that when the price of grain in Mayi was the highest, one stone of rice had already cost hundreds of guan.
At that time, even if there was food, you couldn't afford it. Even if you could afford it, you couldn't buy food.
Prices here in Jinyang should have been rising for a while. After Li Yuan took over, he did a pretty good job in stabilizing prices, and grain prices even dropped a lot.
By the time he entered Jinyang City, the price of food on the market was a bit higher, but now it should have fallen back, and it was falling quickly. This can be seen from the prices of food in Ruyilou.
Of course, he would not show his satisfaction on his face. Instead, he snorted and said: "Who would bring such heavy things to a brothel for forty or fifty dollars? Don't bully me..."
Are you here for the Overlord Dinner? The old man immediately thought of several competitors in Ruyi Building. In this land of fireworks, you can encounter all kinds of nasty things.
But he still laughed immediately, "You can tell at a glance that your honored guest is a noble person, how can a villain dare to deceive you? When noble people come to the building on weekdays, they often have gold and silver with them... There are also regular customers, so they only need to record it in the account
It will be cheaper for the villain to take someone to pick up the last payment."
"Ah, by the way, the host is afraid that we and others will be blind, so they have specially set a rule. Even if it is the first time a guest comes, as long as he gives his name... he will not take any money..."
Li Po nodded. Of course he didn't come here to eat the King's meal. It was his first time coming to a brothel, so naturally he wanted to satisfy his curiosity. Of course, after finally coming out, he also wanted to inspect people's livelihood.
Just watching people's livelihood in a place like a brothel...well, he is indeed unique.
His business is not simple, and he is so flawless and polite in making friends with dignitaries. Well, he is really not the same as the gang of human traffickers in Mayi.
He had no intention of playing a game of finding fault. Originally, he wanted to ask how much it would cost to find a woman, but after looking at Xue Wanche and the guards behind him, he gave up the idea, so he waved his hand and said, "At noon,
There is a guest in the building, his surname is Su, where is he now?"
"Don't worry, I won't disturb your business, just take me to find him."
