"How dare they! How could they do that! I have already lowered my posture, but they abandoned me like a pair of worn shoes!
Hahahahahaha, they also said that we should advance together and retreat together, but when they see difficulties, they will directly abandon my Li family. It is really a good situation for us to advance together and retreat together!
Hahahahaha”
Li Xuanji collapsed in his study, angrily venting his resentment and disappointment.
The actions of the Chen, Wang and Sun families, who were also members of the four major families, chilled him. What frightened him even more was the terror of their opponents.
Now he no longer thinks that his opponent is just Feiyun Trading Company. No matter how rich and powerful Feiyun Trading Company is, their foundation is in Bianjing after all.
There is no need for the leaders of Yunzhou County to give face to Feiyun Trading Company. Only the powerful local figures in Yunzhou County, or those whom the leaders dare not provoke, speak out, can they dare to ignore the four major families.
But, who is behind this? He did not organize his Li family like this just for money. With the size of Feiyun Trading Company, he could slowly encroach on his share in the form of boiling frogs in warm water, instead of taking risks and going directly to Yunzhou County to grab business.
Just when he felt that the future was hopeless and the Li family was about to be ruined, the housekeeper knocked on the door.
"Master, we have a visitor."
"No! No! I won't see anyone today! Get out of here! Get away from me!"
Li Xuanji angrily drove the housekeeper away and told him not to bother him.
The housekeeper was scolded so badly that he should have known better and left immediately, but after thinking about the identity of the visitor and the current situation facing the Li family, he still suppressed the fear in his heart and risked angering the head of the family. road:
"Master, you'd better meet me. The person here is Yun Li, the head shopkeeper of Yunzhou County of Feiyun Trading Company who came to my house some time ago."
"Get out! Get out of here! I won't see anyone like Yunli or Zhangli!"
Li Xuanji was still angry and furious.
Seeing this, the housekeeper shook his head helplessly and was about to leave, but he stopped when he heard the angry voice inside. The voice of the head of the house, Li Xuanji, came out again: "Wait! Who did you say was coming?"
The housekeeper's eyes were filled with joy. The master finally returned to normal and hurriedly replied:
"Sir, it's Yun Li, the big shopkeeper of Yunzhou County, Feiyun Trading Company, who was here last time."
There was silence in the room for a moment, and then Li Xuanji's deep voice came out: "Welcome him to the living room. I'll clean up and be there soon."
"Yes, sir!"
The housekeeper responded respectfully, and hurriedly left to arrange for someone to welcome the big shopkeeper to the living room. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask the maid beside him to quickly bring a set of decent clothes into the room for the master to change into and tidy up.
…
Yunli remained as he had been the last time, sitting calmly drinking tea and waiting for Li Xuanji's arrival.
He was not kept waiting for long. In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Xuanji, who had changed his clothes and packed everything, walked in quickly, walked straight to Yunli, and looked at him motionless.
Even though he was stared at like this, Yunli still looked unhurried, just sipping the tea lightly. After finishing the fifth sip of tea, he put the tea cup back on the table beside him and raised his eyes. He caught Li Xuanji's aggressive gaze.
"Haha~ What? I haven't seen Master Li for many days. When Yun came, Master Li stared at Yun like this. This is not the way to treat guests!
In addition, Yun must declare in advance that Yun does not like to be too close to men, and his future wife must be a virtuous and ladylike lady. "
Yun Li chuckled and spoke with a teasing tone, breaking the stalemate between the two.
The corners of Li Xuanji's mouth twitched and he snorted:
"Hmph, shopkeeper Yun Da, don't worry, Li is not the kind of person who likes to be close to men.
Li just wanted to know what happened to a busy man like Mr. Yun Da, who was not in the store watching a lot of income coming in, but instead came to my competitor's house.
Could it be that he came here specifically to see my Li family’s jokes? If that’s the case, then we can only forgive Li for not being able to entertain shopkeeper Yun Da here! "
After saying that, Li Xuanji stepped aside half of his body, indicating that if he really came to see a joke, he should leave on his own.
Naturally, Yun Li would not stand up and leave. Instead, he suddenly stopped the relaxed and carefree smile on his face, his expression became serious, and he asked aloud:
"At this point, Mr. Li, do you think your Li family still has the ability to turn around?"
Li Yuanji's expression suddenly froze when he heard this. After a while, he suppressed the anger in his chest, stared at Yun Li with a gloomy expression and asked:
"I wonder where my Li family provoked your trading company, so that your trading company targeted my Li family everywhere, and even pushed my Li family into such a desperate situation?"
Yun Li shook his head slowly: "No! Master Li, you are wrong. Our Feiyun Trading Company is not targeting your Li family."
Li Xuanji was stunned when he heard this. Before he could say anything, Yun Li continued: "Our Feiyun Trading Company is targeting those in the entire Yunzhou County who dare to go against the prince!"
"Your Majesty?"
Li Xuanji was confused at first, and then a person he had never thought of before appeared in his mind.
Except for the new guy in the entire Yunzhou County, who else can hold up the title of Prince!
But...but...but how is this possible!
Li Xuanji staggered back and collapsed on another chair.
"Impossible...impossible...this is impossible..."
He kept mumbling to himself, unable to believe the news.
But the reality made him have no choice but to believe it, because he now understood that the leaders of those tribes probably stopped cooperating with them precisely because of King Yun's identity as the royal prince of the Song Dynasty.
In the entire Yunzhou County, he is the only one with such righteousness and honor!
Slowly, Li Xuanji accepted the reality. His originally dilated pupils shrank, and he slumped on the chair helplessly and said dejectedly:
"Then why are you still here? Now that our Li family has no chance to turn over, and the prince's goal has been achieved, why are you still here?"
Yun Li shook his head slightly and then said: "Master Li, I'm afraid you have misunderstood something.
Do you think that the prince targeted your Li family just to scare the monkeys? "
"Isn't it?" Li Xuanji asked.
"With the lessons learned from my Li family, I'm afraid the other three families no longer dare to go against the prince easily. Isn't this enough?"
"not enough!"
Yunli was decisive.
"What the prince wants is not that they are afraid, but that they no longer have the power to resist. What the prince wants is that the prince can only have his voice in this Yunzhou County, and everyone else can only be a vassal.
And I came to you today to give your Li family a chance! "
"Chance?!"
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and his eyes gradually brightened.
The Li family seems to be saved. Even if it can no longer monopolize it like it used to be, it can still prevent it from becoming a passing thing. If it does well, it may be even more glorious!
"Master Li, the prince is looking forward to your vote. I hope you will not disappoint the prince's expectations."
After saying this, Yunli stood up and walked out.
Li Xuanji, on the other hand, sat quietly, lost in thought.
