Chapter 254: The Great War is Imminent

People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, this sentence that is often recited by people is too appropriate for Lang Li at this moment. No matter how much helplessness there is in his heart, his position determines that he cannot be shaken at any time, just like his father at the beginning, he would rather die by himself than let the rivers and lakes fall into chaos, and it is nothing more than turning things around with his own strength.

Everyone had all kinds of feelings in their hearts, but they still looked at Lang Li, he had the least experience here, and he was the youngest, but he was the most suitable person to be the leader.

"Lang Oak...... What are you going to do? Gongsun Yunliang wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak, so he held back for a long time and said such a sentence.

Lang Li's mind was bored, and he seemed to be in a high position, but in fact, the bitterness in his heart was understood by a few people, and after thinking about it, it was no longer the time to hesitate: "Go to Tianmang Mountain tomorrow!" ”

Unexpectedly, it is reasonable, many people thought of this result, but they didn't expect it to be so urgent, although they felt a little hasty, but when they thought about it, it was not a good thing to cut the mess quickly.

With the direction, everyone began to prepare, and the disciples of each sect naturally had to be assigned, whoever stayed behind to guard the house and went to Tianmang Mountain, this needs to be carefully arranged, in a blink of an eye, it will be dark, and the final duel is within reach.

It was on this night that an unexpected person came and brought an unexpected message.

This person is none other than Chen Xun, the supervisor of Silver Leaf City. The old man is over sixty years old, and he must have something important when he rushed to Wujiguan.

Lang Li was also quite surprised by Chen Xun's arrival, could it be that there was something wrong with Silver Leaf City, thinking of this, Lang Li's heart tightened, if something really happened to Silver Leaf City, it would really be troublesome.

"Uncle Chen, you came here on a starry night, could it be that something happened to Silver Leaf City?" Although Chen Xun is only a subordinate of Lang Li, his age and qualifications are there, and Lang Yunfan respected Chen Xun during his period, not to mention Lang Li.

"The city lord is not in a hurry, the silver leaf city is safe and sound, it is very peaceful, the old minister has come this time to report to the city lord for more important things."

Hearing Chen Xun say this, Lang Li breathed a sigh of relief, but it was worth Chen Xun to come over in person, which also shows the importance of this matter.

"Uncle Chen, what the hell is going on?"

Chen Xun didn't answer, but looked around, and people left very clearly, but Chen Xun said: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, this matter is very important, you must be careful, and please stay with the sword masters, and the rest of you will avoid it for the time being!" ”

Only people at the level of the sword master can know the news, and they don't need to ask to know that this must be a secret among the secrets, and the rest of the people left very interestingly, Chen Xun looked around and no one before he spoke.

"City Lord, the old minister brought something." As he spoke, Chen Xun took out a long box from the sleeve bucket, the length was the size of a folding fan, but it was thicker than a folding fan.

Open the box, inside is a scroll, but there are four golden words engraved on it, the secret edict of the Son of Heaven!

Lang Li gasped, the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, that is to say, this is a holy decree, then this means that the Son of Heaven is still alive, but where is it?

"Uncle Chen, when did you receive this?"

"Five days ago, the old minister rushed over after receiving the secret edict, for fear of missing a big event!"

Lang Li nodded, opened the edict, looked at it, his face was solemn, showing a wry smile, and then handed it to others to circulate to each other.

It is more of a letter of appointment to call it a secret edict, the Son of Heaven appointed Lang Li as the general of Dangkou, sweeping away the thieves in the Central Plains Continent, and handing over 50,000 ironclad troops to Lang Li's command, and the army is currently stationed in Silver Leaf City.

The sword masters also shook their heads again and again, thinking that no wonder everyone wants to be the emperor, sit back and enjoy it, whatever you say is a holy decree, someone has to work for him, what is the reason. The name is very good, the general of the Dangkou, and gave 50,000 troops, it seems that the Son of Heaven is very interesting, but what these 50,000 people eat, wear, and use, the dignified Son of Heaven gave a piece of paper, and the rest has nothing, what to take the Dangkou, what is a joke.

But after thinking about it again, the Son of Heaven was so down, and he handed over the 50,000 ironclad army to Lang Li unconditionally, this is the trust in him, I believe that after everything is over, the Son of Heaven will give everyone an explanation.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xun stepped forward and said, "City Lord, what do you mean?" ”

Lang Li was already anxious, but now he had to bite the bullet: "I accepted the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, but the 50,000 army is not needed, you go back first, settle them down, and notify you immediately when I need it." ”

Chen Xun nodded, and soon showed a look of embarrassment: "City Lord, nothing is a problem, it's just that these 50,000 people are stationed in Silver Leaf City, this food and drink is too big, Silver Leaf City has a certain amount of savings, but it is not enough to last long, for a long time, before the war starts, I am afraid that Silver Leaf City will become an empty city." ”

This is indeed a thorny problem, almost all of the people here are rich, but their little money is a drop in the bucket compared to such a large expenditure, a drop in the bucket, and it can't solve the problem at all, Lang Li thought about a headache, if this problem can't be solved, if it really starts a war in the end, it will inevitably become a worry.

Lang Li thought about it, and finally set his eyes on Yu Jiao'er: "Jiao'er, can Yu Bo contribute some money, of course I won't use it in vain, and I will return the original amount in the future." ”

Yu Jiao'er is not worried about the problem of not paying it back, she has already identified it as Lang Li's woman, the jade unicorn's money is her money, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't pay it back, it's just that I can't afford such a large expense just by relying on the jade unicorn: "My father can do it, but the amount is too large, and after a long time, he will definitely not be able to consume it." ”

She is telling the truth, and Lang Li can also understand: "Then how much do you think Yubo can contribute?" ”

Yu Jiao'er's beautiful eyes turned: "Well, 100,000 taels shouldn't be a problem!" ”

100,000 taels of snowflake silver, at any time is an unimaginable amount, even the sword masters may not have seen so much money, some people even smiled bitterly, did Lang Li really save the world in his last life, the stunning beauty was dead set on him, and such a rich old man, I really doubt whether this world is fair.

Of course, Lang Li didn't think about it so much, and turned back to Chen Xun and said: "Uncle Chen, I will write a letter, you rush to Yuzhou with the letter to see the jade unicorn, and when you see the letter, I think the jade uncle will naturally understand!" ”

Chen Xun nodded: "City Lord, the 100,000 taels that the Jade Girl said really solves the urgent need, but the 50,000 people in battle armor and ordnance are not in order, I'm afraid it will take a fee, look at this ......"

Lang Li understands in his heart that the first thing to fight is to fight hard, the second is to fight money, war is the biggest consumption, just imagine, in addition to food, grass and ordnance, if a soldier dies, the funeral expenses are a lot of money, and the 100,000 taels of the jade unicorn alone really can't support it for a long time.

Among the sword masters, Lan Xinghan, Kuang Hailou and He Caihong are considered rich, each of them will pay 50,000 taels, and Silver Leaf City will pay 150,000 taels, which is exactly 400,000 taels, if they can make up enough 1 million taels, then there will be no worries, and this matter must be finalized before leaving.

Lang Li rubbed his head with his eyes closed, he had never been so troubled as today, what should he do, suddenly, a figure appeared in his mind, thinking of him, this matter could be solved.

Lang Li opened his eyes and glanced at Kuang Hailou: "Uncle Kuang, I have to trouble you this time!" ”

Kuang Hailou has already paid 50,000 taels, and I don't know what Lang Li has to do.

"Uncle Kuang, I'll write another letter, you come to the town with Huifeng to find Hou Mingwang and ask him for 600,000 taels of silver, he will definitely not refuse!"

Kuang Hailou's eyes hung down when he heard it, you must know that he had a holiday with Hou Mingwang in Fenglai Town, and asked him for silver, and one mouth was 600,000 taels, is this possible.

"Lang Li, aren't you embarrassed uncle, how can Hou Mingwang borrow our silver."

Lang Li smiled: "Uncle Kuang, just go back, just say what I said, don't say 600,000 taels, even if it is 1 million taels, he has to give it to me!" ”

Kuang Hailou will be skeptical, since Lang Li said it, he can only go hard, but there is not much hope.

"Besides, Uncle Kuang, you can rush directly to Tianmang Mountain when you finish your errands!" After speaking, Lang Li wrote two letters and handed them to Chen Xun and Kuang Hailou, and the two traveled overnight and rushed to Yuzhou and Fenglai Town respectively.

Everything was as Lang Li expected, one of the letters to the jade unicorn was to explain the reason, and the other was an IOU, the jade unicorn left the letter, but tore up the IOU, Chen Xun got 100,000 taels of silver without much effort, and when leaving, the jade unicorn specially instructed that if it was not enough, he could come back at any time to get it.

On the other hand, Kuang Hailou took Lang Li's letter and handed it to Hou Mingwang, but this letter is much simpler, and there is no IOU, just a few big characters on it, give me 600,000 taels of silver!

The strange thing is that Kuang Hailou thought that it was impossible for Hou Mingwang to pay, but Hou Mingwang did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered someone to propose 600,000 taels of silver and send someone to Yinye City.

Similarly, when proceeding, Hou Mingwang took out a waist card inlaid with gold and jade, engraved with the word Hou, and instructed Kuang Hailou that with this waist card, he could take out any two pieces of silver in any bank, without a cap, that is to say, Hou Mingwang gave Lang Li a blank check, and the number could be filled in freely. This greatly surprised Kwong Hailou.

After all the things are dealt with, the preparations are ready, the next day, everyone set off, together to Tianmang Mountain, this time, Lang Li did not hide it, but moved forward generously, of course, the spirit king also knew that Lang Li and others went up the mountain, the new life he was looking forward to was in front of him, and an unprecedented war was in front of him......
