Chapter Seventy-Four: Thunder IV
Li Xiangqian sat on a warship, and it can be said that he was riding the wind and waves on the Huai River, and he did not need to go to the dock to register every time he passed through the city like a private painting boat, and he did not have to worry about the government conducting surprise inspections during the period.

You must know that it took three days for the group from Ninghai Academy to come to the county town, that is to say, Li Xiangqian set off until he stepped on the dock in Ninghai City, Chen Guyu and their itinerary were less than half, and the gap between them appeared, and the extra two days of time will also become the grand beginning of the next big curtain.
In the art of war, there has always been a saying that soldiers are fast and fast, and all victories and defeats are predestined at the very beginning, and that's what it says.
On the dilapidated dock of Ninghai City, the sky is still bright at this moment, and it is not yet early in the morning. However, when Li Xiangqian got off the boat, he had already found the flickering lights and figures not far away, and it didn't take much effort to get Li Feng, the city lord of Ninghai City, who received a message from the county town, came over with a solemn expression and pulled Li Xiangqian over.
"Forward, what's going on?"
Because he was worried that the message was not very safe, and the matter was very important, the letter did not go into details, but pointed out some key points, although Li Feng seemed to understand or not, but he still tasted the thoughts that his son hid in it, so he didn't think much about it, and before midnight had passed, he came to the dock with the guards, waiting for Li Xiangqian's return.
Li Xiangqian looked up at the guards standing guard not far away, and said in a low voice: "Dad, the matter is very important, let's go back to the house." ”
The group returned to the City Lord's Mansion under the cover of night, and then a shocked cry came from the house.
"What?"
"Daddy, be quiet. ”
Li Xiangqian smiled bitterly, but he also understood his father's surprise, after all, this kind of thing is still extremely rare, and he didn't recover after thinking about it for a long time.
Li Feng was more calm than he imagined, and he was just startled and immediately thought of many things related to it.
"Forward, you tell me, is it that our contact with Li Shaoyuan has been discovered?"
"Yes, and the uncle shouldn't be very happy, but for the sake of my vigil for that Li Shaoyuan later, I didn't get angry. ”
"Hmph, that's because he wants you to help him do things, a radish and a stick, and let him call him uncle, a good Li Xuanyuan, I haven't seen him for a few years, but he has become more and more vicious......"
"Dad, he should have found out that we wanted to kill Chen Guyu before......"
"What do you mean?"
"Listening to my father's words before, I wanted to lead the water to the east several times and let Li Shaoyuan deal with Chen Guyu, but Li Shaoyuan was really cunning and not fooled at all, and finally had no choice but to make a decision, and attacked Chen Guyu when performing martial arts, but the result was also a failure, and the county guard was furious. Later, when I heard that it was going to be strictly investigated, I went to Li Shaoyuan in fear and hoped to help me cover it up, and he agreed......"
"I didn't expect so many things to happen, so how do you think Li Xuanyuan would know all this, didn't Li Shaoyuan help cover it up?" Li Feng frowned.
"Yes, Li Shaoyuan found a scapegoat with a high status, but just a few days after my vigil, I heard the news that the scapegoat who had already betrayed the death penalty had been released, and it was ordered by Li Xuanyuan himself. Later, when he approached me and asked me to do this, I thought about it, and for whatever reason, I didn't dare to refuse......"
Li Xiangqian said softly, these are all his analysis and guesses, he is helpless in the county town, he doesn't dare to say more, only when he returns to this Ninghai is his territory.
After listening to Li Xiangqian's analysis, Li Feng nodded solemnly, and finally said: "What you said is reasonable, Li Xuanyuan should have found out everything, that's why he made these requests, he has settled on my Ninghai line! I have dealt with that Li Xuanyuan, this is his method, and fortunately you agreed, otherwise I am afraid I won't be able to see you......"
Li Xiangqian panicked: "Dad......"
Li Feng smiled and said, "You won't blame your father, you have made so many stupid moves, so that you are so coerced by that Li Xuanyuan." ”
"Naturally not, I know that my father is all for my good, whether it is killing Chen Guyu, who has infinite potential, or contacting Li Shaoyuan, it is for the sake of Ning Hai, but the situation is sudden...... Dad, the matter has come to this point, and we have no choice but to do what Li Xuanyuan said. ”
Li Feng frowned and thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "Yes, we want to return to the main line, so we found Li Shaoyuan, but Li Shaoyuan died, and under karma, he was caught by Li Xuanyuan." That's it, just do as he says, he's still the county guard, we're not his opponents......"
Li Feng is also the lord of a city, and he is the head of the dignified Ninghai lineage, and after a long sigh, he immediately regained his wise look, and asked with a solemn face: "Chen Guyu is too famous to start. I can't even imagine how many people in the whole of Ninghai will go to greet him when he comes back in a few days......"
"Li Xuanyuan said that we can destroy his reputation, for example, to put a crime on him for attacking the government......"
"Hmph. Before Li Xiangqian's words were finished, Li Feng had already laughed disdainfully, "Li Xuanyuan, this bastard, this is to harm our Ninghai lineage!"
"Dad, what does this mean?"
"The method he said is too vicious, it is to offend to death, even if it breaks Chen Guyu's reputation, but if it is the strength of Chen Guyu you said, I am afraid that in the end it will be a defeat for both sides!"
"Dad, I have also thought of this consideration of yours, but this is the price we need to pay, if we don't break it, we can't stand it, according to the meaning of Li Xuanyuan's words, we want to return to the main line, if we don't pay something, I believe he won't feel at ease. ”
"The price? forward, are you sure you have to pay this price? Our overall strength in Ninghai is not strong, according to you, Chen Guyu attaches great importance to feelings, once he is mad, the entire Ninghai will be a river of blood, those soldiers, those people, all may die, the entire Ninghai will become a half-dead city overnight, do you want to see all this!"
Li Feng got up suddenly, his eyes were agitated, his essence bloomed, and he looked at his son fixedly, and his voice was like thunder, shaking people's hearts.
Li Xiangqian looked at his father fearlessly, he thought a lot, and finally said firmly: "If you don't pay, you won't gain, we can return to the main line, it doesn't matter how many soldiers and civilians die, they have done their best to live in the world, and there is nothing they are willing to do." ”
"Good. ”
Li Feng shouted, sat back in his seat, and glanced at Li Xiangqian deeply: "Xiangqian, you have changed." ”
Li Xiangqian smiled: "Dad, where have I changed, I just went to the county town this time, I have seen a lot and thought a lot, and I understand a lot." ”
"Haha, I understand a lot, you have matured, and now your heart is very in line with the heart of being a city lord, you have to kill decisively, you are the true character of a hero! You have to remember, if you want to survive in this world, you must not be merciful, people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, I am very satisfied with what you said. ”
Li Feng happily patted Li Xiangqian's shoulder and encouraged.
Li Xiangqian said, "So Dad, this matter?"
"Just do it, you're right, there's a price. Although I still think that Li Xuanyuan's method is too vicious, and even suspect that he is deliberately trying to harm me Ning Hai, I have to admit that this is already the best method. Fame is the most useful thing in the world, the people's hearts are back, even the strongest people in Jiuxuan dare not touch it easily, Chen Guyu has this fame, it is simply inviolable. ”
"That's why we have to ruin his reputation and make him abandon these talismans himself, and we need to stand on the moral high ground to judge him and sanction him. Forward, you remember, this time, we are playing the role of good people, we are great men, even if all the people die because of this, the city is a dead city, and everyone is a ghost, we are still on the side of justice. This must not be violated. ”
Li Feng earnestly instructed.
"Yes. ”
"Okay, having said all that, you go back to your room to rest first, although the plan is good, but it is still a little rough, think about it again for the father, and wait until dawn, we can make a move." ”
"Yes, Dad. ”
Hearing Li Feng say so much, Li Xiangqian's worried heart gradually let go, his father has always been an extremely wise person in his eyes, and with him personally in control, this matter may not be as difficult as imagined.
Unconsciously, Li Xiangqian has really changed a lot, he is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, he has begun to think about things, and his heart has gradually become cold, Li Feng called it mature, but no one knows, it is just a change under the threat of death.
The dark shadow has always been there, and he wants to survive......
In the room, under the dim candlelight, Li Feng was still thinking, he accepted the offer, accepted Li Xuanyuan's request, he knew that Ning Hai would suffer a heavy loss after this time, but as Li Xiangqian said, there is a price, and the only value of some people living in this world is to be manipulated and used by them, so his heart is getting colder and colder, and his means are becoming more and more domineering.
"Someone. ”
A guard appeared silently in the room, it was a cultivator.
"Tell us to go down and control Liu Zheng's wife and children in our hands within one day. ”
Liu Zheng is the lord of the Liu Mansion, as the lord of the academy, in terms of status, he even overwhelms the city lord and can be called the number one giant in Ninghai City, and Li Feng is finally going to make a desperate move.
"Yes. ”
The guard replied softly with an expressionless face.
He didn't show a trace of surprise or fear, because he was absolutely loyal to Li Feng, not to the City Lord's Mansion, but to the Ninghai lineage, he was a dead man, and he was also called a pulse protector by the outside world.
The guards disappeared into thin air, Li Feng paced around the room, and then shouted again: "Haida Gang!"
"Master, here!"
A person who looked like a housekeeper also appeared in the room, and if Chen Guyu was present, he would definitely be able to recognize that this was the sea steward who appeared at the Oiran Contest before. At this moment, the sea steward was bending down and bowing his head with a respectful and humble expression, far less proud and reserved than the previous one who presided over the Oiran Competition.
"Haida Gang, when you wait for dawn, go to the yamen, gather all the noble families in the inner city, and let their patriarch come to my mansion immediately, I have something to say to them. ”
"This ...... Sir, what happened?"
The sea steward was stunned, he thought of a lot at once, but after all, he didn't have the loyalty of the dead man, and asked lightly tentatively.
Li Feng glanced at him coldly, looked out the window at Dongfang Desire, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes: "Ning Hai, something big is about to happen." I wonder how many people are standing in the same line as me?"
