Chapter 365: Clues
Jiang Li looked back, the person behind him was not Xia Hou, who else could there be, the light sword in his hand was raised and put down, after all, it was in the Xia family, he couldn't sweep Xia Hou's face, at least this summer Hou Ming was still his father's friend.
"Uncle Xia. Jiang Li shouted.
"Jiang Li, I'm really ashamed to be an uncle, I didn't expect you to be so wronged on the second day of your arrival, it's really a dereliction of duty. Xia Hou looked apologetic.
Jiang Li hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Xia doesn't have to be like this, Jiang Li has no grievances." ”
Xia Hou shook his head, still looking apologetic, but Jiang Li's expression made him seem to remember something, he walked towards Xia Yuan, only to see this Xia Yuan, with a broken arm, and the whole person was like a lost dog, crawling on the ground.
Suddenly, there was a trace of disgust in Xia Hou's eyes, and it could be seen that Xia Hou's dislike for this person had reached a certain level, but it seemed that Xia Hou was very reluctant to give up the other party's talent.
"Xia Yuan, do you know that Jiang Li is my guest. "Xia Hou forced Xia Yuan to look at him.
Xia Yuan was glared at by that summer marquis, and suddenly, his whole body was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and after a while, cold sweat wet his clothes, and cold water continued to fall on his forehead.
Jiang Yuan was taken aback, this summer Hou is too terrifying, isn't it! Although Xia Yuan's strength is not good, he is a master of Dan Jin after all, he casually glanced at Xia Yuan, and scared Xia Yuan like this?
The power of this is part of it, and the most important thing is the strength, which shows that the strength of this summer hou is extremely terrifying, otherwise how can you scare a Danjin master like this at a glance.
At this time, the old man in the green shirt and the old man in casual Western-style clothes came over, and they bowed to Xia Hou at the same time, and then said, "Qingshan, Ximing, meet the head of the family." ”
"At home, the two of them don't have to salute. Xia Hou said.
Jiang Li looked at this strange saluting ceremony, which always made him think of a strange uniform, in the Zhou family, the elders did not need to salute when they saw the head of the family.
But this Xia family is like this, maybe the rules of the two families are different, Jiang Xianzhong thought so.
"Yes, yes. Xia Yuan lowered his head, and he didn't even have the courage to look directly at Xiahou.
"I know, you still dare to be so presumptuous! Do you think that no one in this Xia family can control you?" Xia Hou's voice revealed a kind of outright coldness, as if this Xia Yuan had violated his bottom line, making the coldness on his body instantly emanate.
Xia Yuan fell to his knees with a puff, more pious than begging for mercy just now, kowtowed, and said, "I was wrong, I was really wrong." ”
This kowtow is louder than the other, just like in ancient times, the courtiers were kowtowing to the emperor to ask for guilt.
The hierarchy of the Xia family is too strict, and Jiang Li is secretly frightened.
"Don't beg me for mercy, beg Jiang Li, as long as he says to let you go today, this matter will be over. Summer Hou snorted coldly.
"I beg Mr. Jiang to forgive me, I beg Mr. Jiang to forgive me. Xia Yuan begged for mercy again and again, and his appearance looked extremely pitiful.
At this time, this summer Hou threw the problem to Jiang Li, which would be difficult for Jiang Li to ride a tiger.
"Well, if I cut off your arm, you and I will be even. Jiang Lifeng said lightly.
Xia Han glanced at Jiang Li and didn't speak, in this case, Jiang Li seemed to have no choice suddenly, just now Xia Hou's sword left people behind him had already made his position clear, hoping that Jiang Li would leave Xia Yuan's life.
The meaning of this Xia Hou's words is naturally to let Jiang Li leave this Xia Yuan a dog's life, how can Jiang Li be such a smart person, how can he not hear an extraneous sound.
"Don't thank me for my nephew. Xia Hou said.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, thank you, Mr. Jiang. Xia Yuan said.
"Go ahead, it's still too late to save your arm. Xia Hou glanced at Xia Yuan in disgust.
"Yes. Xia Yuan groveled, and his posture was very low, like a pig and a dog.
It is okay for a dignified Dan Jin master to do what he has done.
However, this is worth Jiang Li's consideration, the uniforms of the Xia family, as well as the relationship between the Xia family, all reflect a situation, except that Xia Han is still normal, this family seems to be developing towards a deformed state.
The most terrible thing is that this deformed state is accepted by everyone, acquiesced by everyone, and even regarded by everyone as a state to behave as a person.
This made Jiang Li very incomprehensible, what about the dignity of a person living like this?
This also reflects from the side that this summer, Hou is really powerful, and Jiang Li is also admired for being able to manage this group of people so obediently.
"Okay, let's forget about this unpleasant time, there are still many places to play in my Xia family, let Han'er take you to visit more. Xia Hou smiled and patted Jiang Li's shoulder.
"Thank you, Uncle Xia. Jiang Li said.
"You're welcome, I still have something to do, so I'll go first, you young people play. Xia Hou smiled, and left after speaking.
It's just that the two elders didn't leave, they kept looking at Jiang Li very curiously, because Jiang Li's performance just now surprised them.
This young man's timing of the attack was very accurate, and it was definitely not comparable to Xia Yuan.
However, this young man's strength, in their eyes, is still a little worse, not a little worse than some old Dan Jin masters, as early as last night, they heard rumors about Jiang Li, and also knew some of Jiang Li's achievements.
But today, when I look at it, it's not like that at all, the old man in the green shirt is relatively simple, and he hasn't seen anything yet, but the old man who is dressed very foreign seems to see something different.
"Are you Jiang Li?" Xia Ximing asked.
"May I ask the old gentleman something?" Jiang Li said with a smile.
"It's nothing, just a little curious, how can a young man be so powerful, haha. Xia Ximing laughed.
"The old gentleman praised it falsely, Jiang Li still has a lot of shortcomings, he needs to be tempered well, and I ask the old gentleman to give me more advice. Jiang Li was very humble.
"Yes, he is young and promising, but he is not arrogant or impatient, and he is more than a hundred times stronger than that Xia Yuan. Xia Qingshan nodded.
They chatted with Jiang Li for a few more words, and after some conversation, they also had a great impression of Jiang Li's character, and they liked this young man from the bottom of their hearts.
"Okay, don't delay your time, the eldest lady is still waiting. Xia Ximing smiled.
"Today, I talked with the old gentleman, and many problems along the way of this national art also made me pause. Jiang Li also said modestly.
"Haha, the children are teachable. ”
The two old men looked at Jiang Li with satisfaction, if they didn't know that Jiang Li's master was Jiang Chengyuan, they really wanted to take Jiang Li as an apprentice, a disciple with a good heart, willing to endure hardships, and high strength and talent, it was just too perfect.
After the two old men left, Xia Han came to Jiang Li's side and looked at Jiang Li with a look of admiration and strangeness.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Jiang Li asked with a smile.
"I didn't expect it, these two old people, but we are notoriously difficult, I didn't expect you Jiang Lilian to get them to do it, amazing, amazing. Xia Han also praised without hesitation.
"Really? I don't think so. Jiang Li smiled.
"You, don't be modest, but this Xia Yuan is a scourge after all, with this Xia Yuan's heart, I feel that he will most likely take revenge on you in the future. Xia Han said.
"Then let him get his revenge. Jiang Li's face was casual.
Seeing Jiang Li's fearless look, Xia Han also shook his head and smiled, isn't this the case with Jiang Li in Southern Xinjiang?
"If a person wants to be really strong, he relies on his own strength, and only when his own strength is strong can he not be afraid of everything. Jiang Li said with a smile.
Xia Han savored Jiang Li's words, although it was very simple, but it was a truth, and it also showed that Jiang Li was not afraid of making enemies, even if there were many enemies, as long as you were strong enough, you could still be fearless of everything.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see my Xia family's treasure pavilion. Xia Han said. ‘
"The jewels inside are not going to bury me. Jiang Li teased.
"Of course. Xia Han smiled slightly.
The two returned to the huge castle, the treasure pavilion was underground, and Xia Han said that this was the most important forbidden place of the Xia family, and usually even some elders were not allowed to enter, but Jiang Li was a distinguished guest, she could bring Jiang Li in, and besides, Xia Hou also instructed that he could take Jiang Li into the treasure pavilion to choose something he liked.
came to the underground, this entrance, is a huge cylindrical entrance, Xia Han pulled the mechanism, the portal in the center of the entrance, slowly opened, there was a bright light below, it didn't look dark.
Xia Han pulled the elevator next to her, and she and Jiang Li took the elevator and fell into the treasure house together.
In a treasure trove, it is one of the foundations of a family, such as Liu Tiancheng's family, to the point where money is just data for them.
Hundreds of billions of things, they can easily get it, and they are a big family that competes for resources, gold mines, oil wells, and diamond mines.
The real assets of these families are measured by these priceless treasures, and money is meaningless to them.
Moreover, one-third of Australia's resources are occupied by the Liu family, and the local government has very little right to speak, and even some major administrative policies need to be agreed by the three major families before they can be implemented.
Although the Xia family can't be so powerful, but money must not have much meaning to them, and these big families are more keen on some treasures and minerals.
Even some regions, such as some countries, sell islands publicly, and these things are often the ones that can be bought by this group of local tyrants.
The elevator slowly fell, and what Jiang Li came here was a tunnel, which extended to the right and led to the Treasure Pavilion.
"Let's go. Xia Han pointed ahead.
This is the first time that Jiang Li has entered the treasure house of these big families, when he was in Australia, he did not have this qualification to enter the treasure house of the Liu family, this is the real treasure, the accumulation of hundreds of years in each family is a terrible wealth.
I'm afraid that every thing here can be auctioned for tens of millions of dollars, thinking that the huge treasure house is full of these treasures, Jiang Li is a little frightened.
"In this way, this summer has been pretty good for me. Jiang thought in a heart.
Soon he came to the door of this treasure pavilion, which was a huge iron door, Xia Han untied the jade key on his jade neck and stuffed it into the inlay hole of the door.
Squeak, the door of the treasure house slowly opened, and when Jiang Li's eyes fell on the inside of the treasure house, his expression suddenly froze.
