If you hurt someone, you always have to give some pension, which is a common reason everywhere.

Tao Ziyuan looked at Li Ao's slightly moved expression, knowing that he would increase the price, but it would not be 60 million.

"Forty million, that's all at most, Master Li, you are a rare talent, I'll give you another 10 million, 50 million in this game, okay." ”

Li Ao saw through this situation carefully planned by Li Xiangqing, but he did not get angry, but admired him.

Li Xiangqing breathed a long sigh of relief, Li Ao left, and the next thing was to sign the contract.

Even if it is less than 50 million, the above number is still terrifying.

150 million taels, it will take two years of tax revenue to pay off, not to mention that those people also need some customs taxes from coastal cities, plus a piece of rented land in Yandu City. Even if Li Xiangqing tried again and again, the result was the same, 50 million taels was already the highest limit.

As soon as Tao Ziyuan helped Li Xiangqing to leave, someone asked Li Ao, "This is obviously a scam, why did you still agree to their conditions, didn't this make them feel that they had succeeded?"

Li Ao glanced at the generals next to him, everyone stood on the position of their own country, and if there were less than 50 million, everyone would be less, and he expected such a voice,

"The battle of the trapped beast is not for the sake of foot, what is rare is the sacrifice of this person, and in such a situation, I still struggle to find a reason that I can't refuse, isn't it worthy of admiration? Please don't forget, there are not only two planes in this world, but what we have opened is only the last door to space. ”

After everyone looked at each other, Li Ao's figure had disappeared outside the door.

————

What will be the result of a belligerent person if he is provoked?

It seems that the answer for most people will be to go to war.

Among these generals, there is an inconspicuous, but also the most belligerent, the person who assassinates Li Xiangqing in the street during the day.

It's just because Tao Ziyuan said in front of him without pain,

"The general's legs and feet don't seem to be very convenient. ”

was easily enraged, and took his own soldiers to the street to assassinate Li Xiangqing, which is enough to see how arrogant this person is.

But this is exactly the result Li Xiangqing wants, he said that he is not crazy, and he can't reduce his tens of millions of taels of silver.

That night, Tao Ziyuan in Li's mansion stood guard outside the door, waiting for the doctor to change the medicine for Li Xiangqing before walking in.

The man who licked the blood on the edge of the knife trembled when he saw his bloody face.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Li Xiangqing comforted, Tao Ziyuan felt that it was ironic that he was the one who was injured, but he was comforting himself in turn.

"I don't know, when did you become so gentle, sure enough, you are close to Zhu is red, and close to ink is black. Tao Ziyuan felt from the bottom of her heart at this moment that Li Xiangqing and Lingyun were really a match made in heaven, a pair set by the earth, and in terms of controlling emotions, these two people were a perfect match.

Li Xiangqing knew that she had no bad intentions, but now she couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard it, "Grandma, what am I like, can't you say a few nice words?"

Tao Zi Kite glanced at him,

"You don't think it's good, and the more ugly is still to come, I really don't know what you think, at this time to take on this thankless errand, don't wait to be scolded and expect others to put up a big banner for you?"

It sounds sarcastic, but it is also a bloody fact, tomorrow the news will come out, and he will really be scolding up and down the government and the opposition, thinking of this, Li Xiangqing smiled bitterly,

"Thankless things must be done by someone, being an official can't just eat the emperor's grain, besides, scold, scold, you can be happy after scolding, I don't care, just ignore it, there must always be an outlet to vent. ”

"But I have it. ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Xiangqing looked at Tao Ziyuan in front of the window in surprise, and the moonlight reflected her slightly heroic face, just like the little girl who was led back to the house by herself, with a stubbornness.

"Why is it that you are the one who carries the black pot, obviously those people are extravagant, except for your forbidden army, how many people in the other armies are eating empty salaries, and how many people are living in waste?

The more Tao Ziyuan spoke, the more angry she felt, and she felt aggrieved at the same time, she didn't feel wronged, she felt aggrieved for that person, so proud of a person who wanted to negotiate unequally with those people with his own injury, exchange.

Tao Ziyuan felt a hand caressing his back, soothing his emotions, and while touching a familiar warm chest, tears fell on his chest like broken threads.

"You are the second son of Li, you are the young and ambitious champion of Yandu City, you are the prime minister of one dynasty, you broke an eye for those people, and you bear the arrogance and rudeness of those people, how can they humiliate you so much!"

Some people are hidden in their hearts and have never forgotten them, just like she will never forget the purple-clothed boy who saved herself on a snowy night and told herself "It's okay, it's all over", but he changed his way of being.

Now she is more accustomed to watching him from a distance, and she is more accustomed to treating him as a friend and admired teacher, rather than someone she likes.

Even though she knew that his heart was more sad than herself, when she saw him being hit in the eye, she couldn't wait to kill that person with a sword, but ...... But she finally held back.

Because she is a person from the Storm Pavilion.

"The little girl has grown up and is sensible, I can hear you say this, Li Hong is content, compared to those false names outside the body, I am more afraid that that stubborn little girl will really have no contact with me to old age. Anyway, I picked her up from the snow, taught her so much, and gave her such a valuable hairpin......"

Li Xiangqing pretended to be light and counted one thing after another, knowing that he was not a person who wanted to repay his kindness, but Tao Ziyuan was still stomped by him angrily, pushed him away, and said with a smile angrily,

"Are you going to ask me for something now? I tell you I won't give you back until I die!"

Li Xiangqing propped up the table next to him, looking at Tao Ziyuan who was crying and laughing opposite, his eyes were gentle, he could finally look at her without adding a little more coldness, without pretending to be indifferent,

"Look how nice you are now, lively, willful, more like a girl. ”

Li Xiangqing smiled as if pleased, but all that was left for Tao Ziyuan was a silent cry.

Some people who care often have to pretend to be alienated, thinking that they can deceive others, but they can't deceive themselves. Coincidentally, both of them are such people, but in the deepest part of their hearts, they seem to vaguely understand that as long as you need them, he and she will be there.
