Good guy! Is this the Duke of the Qing Dynasty?
The talented man looked surprised. He was not intimidated by the title of a prince. Just kidding, the talented man was still the king of Southwest, just a prince.
What surprised him was that for such a trivial matter, the Duke of Qing actually came in person?
Isn't it already retired? Besides, what's the big deal?
Of course, although he was confused in his heart, Lin Bai still smiled and said: "It turns out he is the Duke of the Qing Dynasty. I have admired him for a long time!"
The talented man said good things about not needing money. After all, he asked for help from others and was not shabby.
Unfortunately, Li Taiqing didn't accept this trick at all. He snorted and said, "What a long admirer. I'm just a little prince. He can't compare with your reputation as a great talent. There's no need to say nice things. I don't accept this trick."
"Just tell me! What do you want from the Duke of Qing?"
He seems to be impatient!
So direct!
Lin Bai said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, just a trivial matter. I didn't expect that the Duke of the Kingdom would come in person, which makes this junior feel flattered."
The talented man regarded himself as a junior and wanted to give the elders a good impression.
But Li Taiqing didn't accept this trick at all. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Boy, something is wrong with you. You must have something up your sleeve."
He looked alert.
Lin Bai suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth, forget it, they are all foxes with thousands of years, just say it and that's it.
He immediately smiled and said: "The Duke is joking. What could be wrong with me is just that I am restricted by various countries. There is no way out in the southwest, so I want to find another way out."
"So I negotiated with the King of Vientiane to invest in Vientiane Kingdom, but that's all! If you want to invest, you have to be as close to the southwest as possible. I just happened to know that the Duke's fiefdom is in that area, so..."
A flash of surprise flashed in Li Taiqing's eyes. He obviously didn't expect Lin Bai to do this, and he confirmed, "You want my land?"
Lin Bai was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, so he quickly said: "It's not about asking, it's about renting the land for investment and development of your Majesty."
"rent?"
Li Taiqing became even more confused and looked at Lin Bai blankly, obviously confused.
This is a famous and talented man, the King of the Southwest. He thought he had something important to do, but he ended up just renting a few pieces of land. Isn't this too childish?
A king of the southwest and a duke are discussing the lease of several pieces of land here. It's so simple.
If he hadn't seen the sincere look in the talented man's eyes and his serious face, he would have been ready to scold him. As for now, he didn't want to scold him, and it didn't seem appropriate to make a request. After all, he only rented a few pieces of land.
do not care! It's scary to show your old face.
He immediately said without blushing and without a beating heart: "It's okay to rent land, but there are conditions."
Is it so refreshing?
I thought that the other party would ask questions, so this would be the best.
Lin Bai immediately chuckled and said: "My lord, please tell me that the rent issue is easy to discuss, and I will never let your lord suffer a loss."
In his opinion, the other party was just robbing him.
Fortunately, the talented man is not short of money. Once this road is opened, the entire southwest will be completely alive. Money is nothing. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
So he was very calm.
But soon he could no longer remain calm. Li Taiqing had already spoken, "I don't want your rent. I only have one request: to rescue Duan Zhenglong."
"ah?"
The great talent thought that he heard wrongly, or maybe the other party said wrongly.
Li Taiqing reiterated: "Don't look like this, I'm just talking about rescuing Duan Zhenglong."
Lin Bai's eyes were twitching wildly, and he almost cursed.
Damn it, if you don’t want to rent, just say so.
Save Duan Zhenglong? Is your brain flooded? What are you thinking about?
Don't say that I can't save him, even if he can be saved, how can I save him if he eats too much? Save him and go against brother?
The great talent greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors of the old guy in front of him in his heart, but he still said with a smile: "My lord, have you made a mistake? I am the king of Southwest, how can I save Duan Zhenglong?"
"Moreover, I am just looking for the Duke to rent a few pieces of land."
This is equivalent to saying that I just asked you for some sesame seeds, but you asked me to give you a watermelon first. Are you an senile person?
Li Taiqing naturally knew that there was no reciprocity, but his face did not turn red and his heart did not beat. "Otherwise, as long as you rescue the people, I will give you those pieces of land. No! I will give you all the land." .”
You are so generous.
But I want your land to be used for nothing. Wanxiang State can’t transfer it, so I don’t want to give it to you. I just want to rent it.
Moreover, is Duan Zhenglong so easy to save? How to save?
"My lord, are you kidding me? Even the king of Wanxiang has given up. I am the king of Southwest. Dali wants to kill me..."
The great talent hasn't finished speaking yet.
However, Li Taiqing had already stood up, and his tone was very firm, "The conditions are just like this. You can decide it yourself. If it can be done, we will talk about it. If it can't be done, then we will break up. Anyway, the Qing government is used to being poor. Those few dollars The land has been barren for who knows how many years, so it doesn’t matter if it continues to be barren.”
"That's it, you can think about it yourself!"
As he said this, he ignored the talented man and walked straight away.
Lin Bai was speechless and wanted to beat this old guy to pieces. Damn it, he looked like the kind of stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.
He had thought that the Qing government would make things difficult for him. After all, he suffered a defeat and what happened to Duan Zhenglong, but he never expected that the other party would actually make things difficult for him.
This is no chance at all.
Zhuiyue's face also became ugly, "Uncle, what should we do now? Are we going to save Duan Zhenglong?"
What are you thinking about?
Lin Bai rolled his eyes, how to save him? is it possible?
Everyone in Dali wanted to kill him, let alone save people. They were afraid of being killed as soon as they stepped into Dali. There was only one way to save people, which was to lead an army directly to the capital of Dali.
The question is, if this is really the case, wouldn’t it be better to attack the Vientiane Kingdom directly and capture that land?
Lin Bai's brain didn't have a fever.
It was impossible to save Duan Zhenglong, even in this life. It was simply bizarre to make such a request, and it was clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult.
Zhuiyue asked: "What should we do now?"
Lin Bai also felt a little headache and said: "Let's see again! Maybe the old man is talking out of anger and will try again in two days. If it doesn't work, we can only beat him."
This road must be open, as it affects the future of Southwest China, so Lin Bai had already made up his mind.
No one can stop it.
It's just that he really doesn't want to start a war, so he will try his best to resolve it peacefully. After all, once a war breaks out, many people are likely to be involved.
Dali, Wanxiang Kingdom, maybe Li Chao, and Xirong Dayue Jingjue.
With so many people involved, I don’t know how many people will die by then, so...
But at present, it seems that war is inevitable. He has some confidence from the King of Vientiane, but he has no confidence at all from the Duke of Qing.
Duan Zhenglong is really nothing, and being detained is still delaying things.
save him? It would be better to kill him.
