Looking at the defenseless Zhang Rui, Li Kaifu suddenly thought: Although I am not carrying a weapon now, if I suddenly get violent at this moment, can I not kill Zhang Rui?
However, Kaifu Li just thought about it and took the tea cup filled with tea from Zhang Rui with both hands.
After all, this is not just a simple attack. If it succeeds, everything will be fine.
But if it fails, there is no way Zhang Rui will use Yang Yingju as a blackmail. When the time comes, you can just accuse yourself of something, and you won't end up being executed by everyone.
Moreover, since his defeat on the battlefield, Li Kaifu personally found someone to get to know Zhang Rui.
Kai-Fu Lee admits that he doesn’t read much and is not good at reading. However, I still understand that "know yourself and the enemy and you will never be in danger".
It is said that Zhang Ruike killed six bandits and a fierce bandit by himself.
After listening to Zhang Rui's record, Kaifu Li thought that he might not be able to do it. Therefore, at this time, he was also afraid of Zhang Rui's real kung fu.
In fact, how did he know that Zhang Rui killed those bandits like a sneak attack?
"General Li's kung fu should be good, right?" Zhang Rui asked as if he had no clue.
I saw Li Kaifu holding the tea cup with both hands, and his mood instantly became joyful. There is no martial artist who doesn't like others to say that he is good at martial arts. Just like what girl wouldn't like others to say she is beautiful.
"It's just average, pretty passable. I can deal with three or five thieves at close range." Li Kaifu said modestly.
"So, I'm pretty good at martial arts. Why didn't you think of killing me when we were alone?" When he said this, Zhang Rui didn't mean to kill himself, he was very calm.
When Li Kaifu heard this, he quickly shouted that he didn't dare. Especially when listening to Zhang Rui's calm voice without any ripples, I felt so happy that I couldn't help but sigh:
"Fortunately, I didn't act rashly just now, otherwise I don't know how I died. Sure enough, people who can climb to this position are not simple people."
"Brother Six just loves to joke, how dare you act so presumptuously in front of Brother Six!" Li Kaifu said with an apologetic smile.
"It's okay, I just feel strange, so I'm asking. To be honest, if I were you, I would inevitably think so. After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you really kill me, you won't be able to tell me how many ranks I will be promoted when I go back." Zhang Rui Still not talking about killing yourself.
"This...this..." Kaifu Li suddenly didn't know how to answer Zhang Rui's words.
"You don't believe me when I say I don't want to kill you. If I say I want to kill you, doesn't that offend you?" Li Kaifu felt the urge to curse.
Seeing that Li Kaifu was speechless, Zhang Rui comforted him and said: "General Li, don't worry, I just said it casually, it doesn't mean anything."
"Haha, that's good." Li Kaifu smiled helplessly: "Then, let's talk about the issue of money and 'letter' handover!"
"Okay, tell me about your method!" Zhang Rui replied.
"What our Governor Yang and General Guerjia mean is that the silver will be transported by General Guerjia personally and escorted to the valley where the war was taking place in the name of military supplies. It is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow. Brother Six, you will take us with you tomorrow. There are people who have sent letters, and I will guide you. I will hand over the money and deliver the goods. I wonder if Brother Six has any questions?" Li Kaifu asked respectfully.
After listening to this, Zhang Rui thought for a moment and replied: "There's no problem with this. Have you figured out how much money your people will spend on my side?"
When Kaifu Li heard Zhang Rui's inquiry, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart: The cost was too high for her. In just over twenty days, it was enough to give them more than two years of salary.
If you, Zhang Rui, hadn't held the handle against Governor Yang and General Guarjia, maybe they could have ordered the execution of the people you captured instead of ransoming them at such a high price...
Although Li Kaifu had various thoughts in his mind, his face did not show any of them. It was rare for him, a military general, to learn this 'qi nourishing' technique.
"Brother Six, don't worry. We have already calculated this. However, this number of days is really difficult to control, so Governor Yang calculated it this way. Do you think it is reasonable?"
"explain…"
"Our people will be counted as 1,500, and the extra people will not be counted anymore. We will make a round number for easy calculation. Do you think it will work?" Li Kaifu asked cautiously
"Hmm..." Zhang Rui touched his chin with his hand and thought: These guys are trying to get a small advantage. Forget it, you all have to pay for it anyway. I'll collect some money at most.
"Okay, no problem."
"Thank you, Brother Six. As for the number of days, we have calculated the number of days. You also know that it is difficult to calculate the itinerary very accurately, so we counted it to the twenty-fifth day." Kaifu Li seemed to have memorized the lines in advance Generally speaking, without thinking
"We'll just pay 75,000 taels of silver for food. Do you think that's reasonable?"
"Twenty-five days? I lost some money. But I'd better get the money first." Zhang Rui was thinking in his heart, but he said with a very embarrassed look on his face:
"If you calculate it this way, I will lose tens of thousands of taels of silver! This is a bit of a loss."
"Please forgive me, Sixth Brother, this is really for the convenience of calculation." Li Kaifu quickly explained
"It's easy for you to calculate, so there's no reason for me to lose so much. Isn't that a lack of credibility?" Zhang Rui rebuked unceremoniously: "If you find it difficult to calculate, how about you let me do the math for you?"
"This..." Hearing Zhang Rui's words, Kaifu Li was a little hard to answer, and he was also a little shocked.
So, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Rui and said: "This is the letter that Governor Yang asked me to give to Brother Six. My Lord said, if Brother Six feels that it is not worth it after reading the letter, let me give it to him." It was burned on the spot. Then Brother Six would give him whatever he wanted."
Originally, Zhang Rui wanted to suppress their arrogance and make them feel that they were the ones at the wrong. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise.
Zhang Rui thanked him for taking the letter in a strange state. After opening it, it is undeniable that Yang Yingju's handwriting is really good, each word is almost as printed as printed.
But reading this letter, Zhang Rui felt a little embarrassed. Because he didn't know many of these traditional Chinese characters very well.
Fortunately, there are not many words throughout. The breadth and depth of Chinese means that as long as you have a rough understanding of it, you can guess the meaning of the rest just by guessing.
This letter says two things.
One is that Sitku will be transferred soon, and his replacement Li Shiyao will arrive at the end of September.
The other thing is a deal. From now until Li Shiyao succeeds Sitku, unless Li Shiyao wants to deal with Zhang Rui, the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion will not issue any orders to deal with Zhang Rui. However, as a transaction, Zhang Rui cannot count those "meal expenses".
If Zhang Rui agrees, he will burn the letter; if he disagrees, he will return the letter to Kai-fu Li.
"Sure enough, it's a good trick. I have a good plan and you have a wall ladder. I have nothing more to say." After Zhang Rui read the letter, he folded the paper. Then he said to Li Kaifu: "General Li must be carrying a fire stick! Can you lend it to me?"
