"Dad, Xiyu, you are back."
The Duke's Mansion of the Qing Dynasty.
Seeing the old man and his cousin coming back, Li Jiu'an hurriedly stepped forward, "How is it? What does Lin Qingfeng want to do when he comes to our Li family?"
Li Taiqing glared at him angrily and said nothing.
The old man obviously didn't care about those pieces of land. The most important thing was his nephew and son-in-law.
Ling Xiyu saw this and said, "Second cousin, don't worry, nothing will happen. It's just for those pieces of land in Lezhou..."
She explained the matter simply.
She also went there just now, but she didn't show up. She was in the box next door.
Li Jiu'an breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and murmured: "The famous King of Southwest, really gave up like this? Come to Vientiane Kingdom to invest?"
His face was full of doubts, but he couldn't figure it out and ignored it. After all, a few broken pieces of land were not worth mentioning.
The speaker was unintentional, and Ling Xiyu's eyes couldn't help but move slightly.
Li Jiuan said again: "Cousin, have you mentioned Zhenglong's matter? What should I say?"
He actually didn't have any hope, not to mention that Lin Qingfeng couldn't save people, even if he could, he wouldn't be able to save them, but out of concern, he still asked.
Ling Xiyu didn't answer.
Li Jiuan became more aware.
Li Taiqing was a little unwilling to do so and hummed: "If that kid wants those pieces of land, he must save people."
The old man was very unhappy. He snorted and turned back to his room.
Li Jiuan didn't know what to say.
Ling Xiyu said at this time: "Second cousin, Xiyu is going back to the capital of Dali. Can you please help Xiyu prepare some things for the trip?"
"What? Go back to the capital of Dali?"
Li Jiuan's expression changed and he quickly said: "Xiyu, if you return to the capital of Dali at this time, wouldn't you be sending yourself to death?"
Ling Xiyu said: "My husband and Rongrong are both there. No matter what, I have to go and take a look."
"Absolutely not!"
Li Jiuan said, "Since His Majesty promised to help protect Wei Feng and Rongrong, nothing will happen to them. If you go there rashly, not only will it not have any effect, but it may be in danger."
"Will not!"
Ling Xiyu shook her head and said, "Xiyu is also the princess of Wanxiang Kingdom. They won't do anything to me, but it's hard to say for Wei Feng and Rongrong. Even if I can't save my husband, I will bring Rongrong back."
"And I must see my husband."
Li Jiuan was silent, he knew that many things were not that simple.
Zhenbei Palace was once prestigious, and the Tiger and Wolf Army didn't just hand it over, and it's hard to say what the consequences would be if it was handed over.
The other end.
The talented man was also very depressed. The old guy used this kind of thing to make things difficult for him. How could he not be depressed?
He immediately looked at Yan Gang and said, "Can you find a way to bypass that area?"
Yan Gang said: "That area is a must-pass area. It is not easy to go around. If we really have to go around, we have to go around to Tubo. The distance will be increased several times."
Lin Bai frowned. It was so difficult to deal with the Wanxiang Kingdom, and then it would be a waste to go around to Tubo.
Is there really going to be a war? The great talent really doesn't want to start a war.
have to! I'll try again in two days, but if it doesn't work, I have to do this.
At this time, a soldier came in and said, "Your Majesty, Sir Shi Ke Zhongshi, the censor of Wanxiang Kingdom, is asking for an audience."
Shi Kezhong?
Lin Bai was startled for a moment. Before coming to Wanxiang Kingdom, he was planning to ask for help from the other party, but he never thought that the other party would come to him on his own initiative.
Unfortunately, he had lost interest, but he still said: "Please come in, Master Shi!"
"yes!"
Soon, Shi Kezhong came in under the leadership of the soldiers.
He was about fifty years old, with a smile on his face and a shrewd look in his narrowed eyes.
"I have heard about the name of the Southwest King for a long time, and today I finally meet him."
Shi Kezhong spoke first.
Lin Bai also chuckled and said: "Master Shi, you are so polite. Before I came to Wanxiang Kingdom, I had heard of Master Shi's name and admired him for a long time."
It's all the same old tricks in officialdom, and the great talent has become an old man, just playing haha.
Then he added: "Master Shi paid a sudden visit, I don't know..."
Shi Kezhong chuckled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Following His Majesty's order, I came here to verify the investment with the Southwest King."
He lowered his voice and looked like he was afraid of being known.
After hearing this, Lin Bai lost interest even more.
The reason why he said he came to Vientiane to invest was naturally not a real investment, but in the name of investment, to open up the trade routes between Southwest China and Xirong.
Now that we are stuck on the land, we haven't solved this yet, and the rest is just a hairball.
Although once the negotiation is concluded, he can ask Lingshan Yue to give him land, but if he wants the land in Lezhou, his intention will be obvious, and the other party will definitely not agree.
Therefore, this piece of land must be signed quietly.
Once it is signed, the trade route will be opened directly according to the agreement reached between him and Ling Shanyue. By the time Ling Shanyue reacts, it will be too late. He has the investment agreement in hand, plus the land lease agreement. Wanxiang Kingdom can't go back on it even if it wants to. Netherworld The cavalryman is not jealous.
But it's different with these two agreements. It's the Wanxiang Kingdom that broke the contract, and if it dares to take action, it will bomb him directly.
This plan can be said to be perfect.
However, that old guy Qing Guogong...
Although he had no interest in it, after all, he proposed it himself, and since everyone was here, the talented man had to deal with it with a smile.
Shi Kezhong also took out the prepared agreement and handed it to Lin Bai, saying: "This is the agreement drafted by the imperial court. If the Southwest King has any questions, he can raise them. If there are no questions, both parties can sign it."
"OK!"
Lin Bai said casually, taking a look at the agreement.
Good guy! What a great guy, the workers must use the people of Vientiane State, that’s fine, the money earned can’t be taken out of Vientiane State, the co-author is just a living Lei Feng, to develop Vientiane State, right?
If he hadn't thought about actually investing at all, the great genius would have probably exploded.
As for the moment, he smiled and said: "Don't you think this agreement is a bit overwhelming, Master Shi?"
Shi Kezhong smiled and said: "The king of Southwest is joking. The investment capital is based on your own will. If the conditions are not suitable, we can discuss it again. I don't need to say more about the situation in Southwest now, right? There is no place to sell the goods in Southwest. There are some things that I can do Turn a blind eye, but the agreement must be signed like this."
His eyes were playful and his meaning was clear.
You can secretly get some goods from the southwest and sell them to Vientiane, but the agreement cannot be written in this way, and the benefits to Vientiane cannot be less.
Of course, whenever I want to take advantage of you, it’s also a matter of words.
Lin Bai was delighted.
Are you rushing to get yourself in, and then waiting for the related industries to be almost done before harvesting again?
Shi Kezhong chuckled, "There is no need to worry about the Southwest King. His Majesty just wants to give an explanation to Li Chao. After all, the marriage is imminent. His Majesty also promised that in case of chaos in the Southwest, Wanxiang Kingdom will not mind giving the Southwest King a place."
"Your Majesty is broad-minded. The king of Southwest needs to think more. After all, apart from me, Wanxiang, Southwest has no other choice. His Majesty Li Chao wants to kill you, and so does everyone in Dali. Now they are about to get married. Once it happens, I'm afraid... I will be the only one, Wanxiang. There is no grudge against the King of Southwest, so we can tolerate the King of Southwest."
"..."
"etc!"
Lin Bai was startled for a moment, "Did you just say that Li Chao and Dali were going to get married?"
"..."
