139: Freedom Villa
Cheng Li is a very simple person.
But the education that Cheng Li has received is by no means simple. In the institute where he lived as a teenager, there were not only the world's most intelligent scholars, but also the world's most powerful warriors.
These warriors are collectively known as the "Soul Troops". There are elite veterans who have experienced a lot of battles, powerful swordsmen and "Turbulent Waves" from island nations, wandering mercenaries and sniper kings, biochemical clones, artifact inheritors from the Far East, special soldiers who have cyberized their bodies through technology, and even pure artificial intelligence combat robots.
In the process of Cheng Li's growth, there is such a group of fighters. Therefore, Cheng Li not only learned various combat skills from them, but also learned a lot of experience and means of dealing with the world.
So now, Cheng Li only needs to think about it a little and completely understand. When he was on the island, Le Dashao did not help Ishida Saburo, which means that he is not a diehard loyalist of Ishida Saburo. It doesn't do him any good to force him to death, but it will be more useful to let him go.
Cheng Li went to sea because the black list robbed him of a dart worth one million taels of silver. But now that Ishida Saburo is dead, even the entire island where the Sea Gold Cave is located has sunk due to a volcanic eruption. Naturally, there is no way to get this money back.
But if you can't get the money back, you have to make up for the shortfall yourself. But what should Cheng Li do? No matter how strong the robbery power is, no matter how powerful the marksmanship and knife skills are, it is useless if he can't realize it.
It's good now. Le Dashao's Lejia is known as the richest man in the Central Plains. The amount of gold and silver in the house is only one million taels of silver, which is simply drizzle, wet and broken for Lejia.
Moreover, there are still many secrets on the glass treasure knife. If he wanted to uncover these secrets, Cheng Li knew that it was not enough to rely on himself, even with the strength of the Xia family in Mianzhou.
Le Dashao's father, Le Sihai, is known as the richest man in the world. The business spreads all over the Central Plains. There is a natural convenience in gathering intelligence. If the power of Lejia can be used for its own use. So for Cheng Li, of course, it is very helpful to uncover the secret of the glazed treasure knife.
Le Dashao is also thinking the same. He could already see that Cheng Li was not the kind of character with a deep city government and a strong desire for power. In addition, after this incident, there is no doubt that Cheng Li and Xi Yinchun have become friends of life and death.
Xi Yinchun is one of the four stalls of Xiuchun Building. Holding the Imperial Gift to Calm the Chaos. Officials below the fourth rank have the right to cut first and then play. The power is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. And the four major stalls have always been in the same spirit, and their relationship is better than that of their biological brothers. Moreover, the master of the four of them is the teacher of today, the official title of Taifu, and he is in a high position.
In other words, taking the line of Cheng Li is equivalent to taking the Taifu of the dynasty. For Lejia, who has always been troubled by the fact that no one speaks in the court and is full of insecurity, it is the best choice.
In the next few days, the ship had a smooth sail and returned all the way back to Hulu Harbor.
The boat that Cheng Li and the others took was still the Fuso ship that Ishida Saburo was on when he went to sea. At the end of these days, the sailors on the ship knew that their master would not come back. Fusang has strict laws, and according to the rules, the master is killed, and the retainers below must apologize for their crimes. Therefore, the sailors on the sea ship did not dare to return to China, so they had to die and follow Hu Yuji.
As for Leng Yuxiang, although she assisted the Hundred Flowers Thief, it is understandable. But after all, he still betrayed Hu Yuji. Even though Hu Yuji forgave her for years of sisterhood, she couldn't forgive herself. So the night before the ship docked, he drove a flat boat alone and left alone, nowhere to be found.
In addition, Cheng Li and their ships were not the only ones who came back from the Pinjin Cave this time. There are also at least 100 guests who also go to the Pinjin Cave. They took two other sea boats and arrived at Hulu Harbor together.
These guests are all well-known figures in the martial arts, what is the Yichen Daoist of the Huangshan faction, what is the old man of the Eagle Claw Gate, what is the head of the Changge Sect Li Xiucai, what is the leader of the Chisha Gang, the chief helmsman of the Twelve Lianwu Dock, and even the Luofu faction, the Wuyi faction, the beggar gang, the elders of the Pai Sect, etc., all have everything.
These people already knew at this time that the original owner of the Pinjin Cave was Ishida Saburo, and he was also the bridgehead for Fusang's invasion of the Central Plains. In this way, as long as they buy a product in the gold cave, it is equivalent to automatically giving a handle to Ishida Saburo. In the future, if Ishida Saburo threatens himself with this handle, how can he have the power to resist?
So for Cheng Li, who killed Saburo Ishida, everyone is very grateful. After getting off the boat, they came over one after another and thanked Cheng Li for his kindness. Then they left one by one.
Of course, they didn't know that Saburo Ishida had left a ledger. The business done in the gold cave is all recorded in it. In other words, although Ishida Saburo is dead, the handle is still there, but it just fell into the hands of Cheng Li. If they knew, then they would definitely not thank Cheng Li, but would only think about fighting with Cheng Li.
In fact, although Cheng Li got the account book, he definitely didn't mean to use it to threaten others. However, Xi Yinchun advised him that even if he didn't use it, it was better to keep this account book. After all, although these people are very grateful to Cheng Li in front of them, in fact, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows if they will have any other ideas? So in the end, Cheng Li was also as good as flowing.
Everyone went home, and Cheng Li also wanted to go back to Mianzhou City. Hu Yuji wants to reorganize her family business, so she can only stay in Hulugang and cannot be separated. Xi Yinchun had nothing to do anyway, so he accompanied Cheng Li, detained Tang Qiqiao, plus Le Dashao and his black-clothed bodyguards, and went back together.
Three days later, I finally returned to Mianzhou City. This time, Cheng Li had been gone for so long, and Ling Yushi was already very anxious. I'm afraid something will happen. Seeing Cheng Li come back, he was naturally very happy. Listening to Le Dashao volunteering to say that he could solve the problem of the one million taels of silver, and was willing to cooperate with the Xia family, Ling Yushi felt even more surprised.
Of course, there are still many details of how the two companies cooperate, and they need to be considered one by one. But Cheng Li didn't care about these.
Xi Yinchun listened to the side for a while, and suddenly said, "Cheng Li, Mrs. Ling." I have an idea. In the past, these industries in Mianzhou City did belong to the Xia family. But now the Xia family no longer exists. It is obviously inappropriate to continue to use the name of the Xia family. So I suggest, it's better to start anew and completely break off with the Xia family, right?"
Cheng Li felt that it didn't matter. Ling Yushi applauded at the first time. Then he asked with great interest: "Ah Li, what do you think is the best name for us after we start a new stove?"
Cheng Li thought for a while and said: "In life, the most important thing is to be comfortable. So after starting anew, let's take 'Freedom' as the name. ”
Ling Yushi said happily: "This name is good. This house belongs to the Xia family, and I didn't want to live here for a long time. Just return this house to the Xia family, and let's build another manor in a secluded place outside the city. Freedom Villa, Freedom Lodge. I believe that it will not be long before this name will surely resound all over the world. ”
