Chapter 25: The Golden Knife in the Box Is Still Bloody (4.3K for further reading)
"Lord City Lord, congratulations! I respect you!"
"Thank you."
Accompanied by Yu'er, Li Xun moved to change glasses and toasted and drank with people table by table.
Li Xunxing has bright eyebrows, bright robes and crown, and a graceful demeanor.
And Yu'er followed him step by step, holding a plate and pouring wine and changing glasses for him, just like a personal maid.
The queen who controls such a large power and industry in Ji Le Lou is actually so sweet and sweet beside Li Xun. This scene can't help but make everyone present look more highly at Li Xun. They are all in awe.
He secretly guessed in his heart that there was some inextricable and secret connection between Li Xun and Ji Lelou.
"I never expected that the famous owner of Jile House would be such a great beauty."
When he came to Liu Yong's table, Liu Yong raised his glass and stood up. First he nodded slightly to Yu'er, and then solemnly held the glass with both hands and said to Li Xun: "My lord's high righteousness, Liu Yong has kept it all in mind. If there is any mission in the future, I will do it."
I will go through fire and water, no matter what!"
Li Xun also raised his glass, touched it lightly with him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
There is no need to hit the drum with a heavy hammer.
Seeing Yu'er's attitude, Liu Yong naturally knew that Ji Lelou must have been Li Xun's bag.
And Li Xun was obedient to Yu'er's appearance, and did not show the slightest surprise from the beginning to the end, which is enough to prove that Yu'er did not surrender on the spot, but was already Li Xun's person.
"My lord obviously controls a force like Ji Lelou, but he does not use his power to overwhelm others. Instead, he chooses to condescend himself to fight with me. This shows his sincerity towards me."
With the drink in his throat, Liu Yong's thoughts turned over and over again, and he became more and more admiring of Li Xun's magnanimity and strength.
If Li Xun simply wanted to plot against him, with Jilelou's power, there would have been no grandmaster battle this afternoon. When Liu Yong and others came to make trouble in a hurry in the morning, they could have arranged an ambush in advance to kill them.
Catch them all in one go!
"Before, I was still thinking about whether Ji Lelou was an enemy or a friend. But now it seems that I underestimated my lord's abilities too much."
Liu Yong couldn't help but feel a hint of joy in his heart, and said secretly: "If Ji Lelou is also one of our own, then under the leadership of the lord, we will unite our troops and fight as a family. In this way, it is really possible to not be afraid of that person."
Already."
The moon was sparse, and at the city defense camp garrison, Jin Zhen was leaning on a big tiger-skin chair, squinting and sipping a drink under the moonlight.
Different from the lively atmosphere in Ji Le Building, the current city defense camp was completely quiet.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a low shout sounded, and then a light-armored soldier ran quickly in front of Jin Zhen. He knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and cupped his hands and said: "General, the city lord Li Xun is hosting a banquet at Jile Tower tonight to celebrate Jing's victory."
All the famous people in An City have gone, and even the owner of Ji Le Building has made an appearance for the first time. The chaos in Jing'an seems to be under control."
"Jing'an unification?"
Jin Zhen handed the wine glass to his mouth and paused for a moment. A trace of disdain seemed to flash through his turbid drunken eyes. He raised his neck again and drank the wine in the glass. He said, "You don't need to worry about him, as long as Jing'an is still a big man."
The current situation of Wei's Jing'an cannot be changed by a certain city lord."
After saying that, Jin Zhen poured himself a glass of wine again, chuckled and said, "Even if you are a prince, there is no chance!"
"That is!"
A flattering smile appeared on the face of the soldier who reported the news, and he said: "In our Jing'an City, who doesn't know that the lord of Liushui is the city lord, and only you, the general, are the lord of iron!"
Jin Zhen put down his wine glass, stretched out greatly, and murmured: "Let him do the hard work."
The night is already deep.
Everyone in Ji Lelou also drank to their heart's content and began to disperse gradually.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing, I am so happy to see you able to stand up and be where you are today!"
Wang Fuyan, who had a red face after drinking, stood at the gate of Jile Building, holding Li Xun's hand, grinning and said: "I hope His Highness Prince Jing can continue his efforts and clear away the haze that has shrouded Jing'an City for many years.
You can make a difference!"
"Inspector Wang, please go back and rest early."
Li Xun smiled and patted Wang Fuyan on the shoulder and said, "Be careful on the road. I'll send someone to see you off."
"Don't worry, don't worry! No need to send anyone!"
Wang Fuyan patted his chest and said with a grin: "Don't you know yet? We are the inspectors sent by His Majesty. With the amulet here, who can kill me? Who dares to kill me?"
"That's true."
Li Xun took a deep look at Wang Fuyan's chest, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Wang, take a rest early."
Looking at Wang Fuyan's shaky back, Zi Yin asked curiously: "Brother Li Xun, this little old man doesn't even have a trace of cultivation. Why does he say that no one can kill him?"
"Because he has an amulet on his heart."
Li Xun said: "The supervisor is a confidant sent by the emperor to monitor the prince's political performance and mistakes when he is in charge. In order to ensure justice, in addition to the character of the supervisor, ensuring that their safety is not threatened is naturally the first priority.
Otherwise, when the ax comes, who else will be able to carry out the supervisory duties impartially?"
"Every inspector will have a spiritual treasure implanted in his heart before leaving Beijing."
Li Xun said: "That spirit treasure can detoxify and defend against attacks from master-level masters. Even if it is really assassinated by a master above the Danhai Realm master, it can still transmit the scene of the inspector's death.
Return to Kyoto, and after the death of the inspector, put an indelible mark on the murderer, torture the murderer day and night, and no matter where he escapes, the court can follow the mark to pursue him."
"so smart!"
Zi Yin opened her small mouth and said in surprise: "No wonder this Lord Wang is so confident."
"yes!"
Li Xun nodded slightly and said: "In order to assassinate the supervisor, at least we need to get a master from the Temple of Sacrifice Realm who is above the Danhai Realm. This is an unbearable loss for many princes, so we have this layer of protection.
Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied the princes are with the inspector's fair comments, they can only let him go."
"Then wouldn't the power of the inspector be too great?"
Zi Yin tilted her head cutely and said, "This means that the prince's achievements and faults are entirely their own fault. If they have evil intentions or are bribed by other princes, they can easily control them."
The future of the prince under his supervision?"
"You can imagine that my father has been sitting on the dragon throne for decades, so of course he can imagine it too."
Li Xun smiled softly and said: "Not to mention that these inspectors are strictly selected people with integrity. In the early years, there was indeed an inspector who for some unknown reason did something to add fuel to the fire and frame the prince. But
But my father saw it through, and instead of harming the prince, I was implicated in the nine clans, and ended up miserable."
"Since ancient times, it has been said that no one is as smart as an emperor, and no one as smart as a river or lake. If you want to play tricks in front of the king, it is definitely not possible for ordinary people to succeed."
Li Xun said: "Besides, Inspector Wang has an upright nature, so you don't have to worry about him doing anything bad to me."
"So that's it."
Kitty Girl Zi Yin nodded, then couldn't help but yawned again, rubbed her eyes and said, "I was so full just now, but I'm sleepy again."
"You go back to the city lord's mansion first and have a good rest."
Li Xun stroked her big furry tail lovingly, and said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, I will help you gather everything you need for the coming-of-age ceremony as soon as possible, and I will officially awaken the blood in your body as soon as possible."
Li Xun is also looking forward to personally participating in Zi Yin's coming-of-age ceremony. His understanding of the physiological structure of the cat girl will definitely be greatly improved. At that time, he will definitely be able to obtain another picture from the "Half Demon Girl Collection Illustrated Book"
of rewards.
"Aren't you going back?"
Zi Yin pulled back her tail shyly, then leaned into Li Xun's ear with concern, and whispered: "Didn't you suffer some unspeakable internal injuries? You must be careful!"
"I still have something to talk to them about, ahem..."
Hearing this "internal injury", Li Xun couldn't help coughing twice, and said awkwardly: "Don't worry, I know it, cough cough, I know it."
After all the guests left, the servants in Ji Le Building quickly cleaned up the mess in the house.
In a secret room under the twin buildings of Jile Building, Li Xun was sitting on the main seat, and sitting on both sides of him were Yu'er and Liu Yong.
"You two, let's get to know each other."
Li Xun put down the sobering tea specially offered by Yu'er in his hand and said calmly.
"Yu'er has met Boss Liu."
Yu'er nodded slightly to Liu Yong and said hello lukewarmly.
"Haha, I have been in Jing'an for nearly ten years and have watched Ji Le Building develop. However, I have long wanted to know who the hero behind the building is, but I did not expect that he is a hero among girls like Miss Yu'er."
Liu Yong also cupped his hands and said in a deep voice.
"The two of you will be considered colleagues if you work together with me from now on."
Li Xun smiled slightly and said: "I won't shout any nice words like 'become bigger and stronger, and create brilliance together', but just one sentence, sincerity for sincerity. If I achieve something in the future, I will definitely not treat me badly."
Everyone who has helped me."
"My slave thanks my master."
Yu'er stood up and bowed again.
"Of course I can trust my lord. I will follow you to the death as I promise you today."
Liu Yong knelt down on one knee with his fists clasped. After finishing speaking, he raised his head with a wry smile on his face and said to Li Xun: "My lord, that..."
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Li Xun raised his chin.
"The word "sex" has a knife on its head. My second brother previously coveted the beautiful cat girl next to the lord and offended the lord. He deserved to lose his life."
Liu Yong said: "It's just my third brother Wang Xu and the brothers who surrounded the lord this afternoon. They all acted under my orders. Please don't do anything to them..."
"It doesn't matter."
But Li Xun raised his hand and interrupted Liu Yong's words.
"This matter has already been settled here by my king. When a good minister chooses a master, he will think twice about it. This is normal. If I don't even have this tolerance, I can't be considered a wise master."
Li Xun smiled carelessly.
In ancient times, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times, and Cao Cao walked over to greet Xu You.
Spend thousands of gold to buy horse bones.
The Duke of Zhou vomited food, and the whole world returned to its heart.
In Li Xun's view, Liu Yong did not choose to submit to him hastily, but it further proved his thoughtfulness and also proved his talent from the side.
But after hearing this, Liu Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was grateful and his respect for Li Xun became deeper and deeper.
"Both of you must already be aware of my determination to rectify the chaos in Jing'an."
Li Xun put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "I don't know what you have to say?"
"In my opinion, if you want to develop, you must first resolve internal problems."
Yu'er pondered for a moment, and then said: "Jing'an City, as the prince's fiefdom, must be the foundation of the prince in the future. If the foundation is not solid and solid, how can we talk about a great cause?"
"What Miss Yu'er said makes sense."
Liu Yong pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, you have received help from the mining area and Jile Tower this time. On the surface, you have controlled the main forces in Jing'an City, but in fact, this is not the case."
"Go on."
Li Xun turned the tea cup in his hand, and the light blue tea swirled into a small vortex in the cup. His expression was neither happy nor sad.
"First of all, the master behind the black market is mysterious and his origin is a mystery. It is not known whether he is a friend or an enemy."
Yu'er was the first to speak: "However, the various relationships in the black market are intricately intertwined and can affect the whole body. The chain of interests involved is extremely deep. If His Highness can make it work for him, it will definitely be a big help. But if
If you are not one of our own, it will be like a thorn in our hearts."
"The master behind the black market..."
Li Xun's hand turning the tea cup paused slightly, with a look of contemplation on his face.
Li Xun himself had anonymously posted a mission to purchase a half-demon girl on the black market. Speaking of which, Catwoman Ziyin was purchased by someone he contacted through the black market.
The network of connections in the black market is indeed huge, because not only in Jingan City, but in almost every city controlled by humans, there is a similar place, but the name is different, some are called black market, and some are called black market.
Some ghost markets are called the underworld, while others are called the underworld.
In the final analysis, it is an underground world where a lot of shady news and transactions circulate.
Although not necessarily the person behind every underground world is the same, what is certain is that the underground worlds in different cities are definitely connected to each other.
"You can put this aside for a while."
Li Xun said: "Everything has light and darkness. When the water is clear, there are no fish. The existence of the black market is inevitable, and it may not necessarily be detrimental to me. In my opinion, the black market is more like a trading platform.
The meaning of the platform’s existence is to have business, and as long as Jianghu exists, the black market’s business will not stop. As long as this foundation is not shaken, the black market will not take the initiative to be my enemy, otherwise it will be inconsistent with the businessman’s style of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
Already."
"Indeed, compared to the black market, I believe that the biggest cancer in Jing'an City at the moment is another one."
A look of solemnity appeared on Liu Yong's face, and his tone became unusually serious.
Yu'er looked at Liu Yong, seeming to think of something, and her expression was slightly stern.
"It seems like you two have a tacit understanding."
Li Xun smiled slightly and said: "It just so happens that I also have an answer in my mind. Why don't we write it down each and see if the reference is the same?"
"good."
"Um."
Yu'er and Liu Yong nodded at the same time.
Then the three of them reached out and dipped their cups into tea, and started writing on the table in front of them.
After a moment, they almost raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other's answers. A meaningful smile burst out on the three people's faces at the same time.
Yu'er wrote the word "military".
Liu Yong wrote the word "gold".
Li Xun did not write a single word on his desk, but drew a knife with tea.
A sharp-edged, iron-blooded, murderous sword!
The sword of Jin Zhen, the general of the city defense camp!!
