Zhang Yurou blinked, and then reached out and grabbed the golden arrow. After only a few moments, her face changed and her expression was cold.

"What's wrong, Yurou? But what happened?"

Li Shimin asked curiously, it was rare for him to see Zhang Yurou's face with such a murderous expression.

He also knew that the golden arrow was one of the most urgent means of communication in Qinglong Villa, and the level was even higher than the jade talisman that Zhang Yurou carried with him.

"Something happened in Kansai. ”

Zhang Yurou took a deep breath, and in her black and white eyes, there was still a killing intent: "Just five days ago, our entire caravan of Qinglong Villa was looted, and all the personnel were slaughtered. The eight-armed fire ape king Nuozhen also had one of his hands cut off. ”

Li Shimin's face immediately turned cold, his breathing was heavy, and his anger burned: "Who did it?"

He was even more curious about what had happened five days ago, and why he hadn't received any news so far.

However, when he saw the golden arrow in Zhang Yurou's hand, Li Shimin looked relieved.

As the name suggests, this thing is called 'Ten Thousand Miles of Thread', which can lock someone's qi in advance, and then shuttle through the area of thousands of miles when using it, and accurately arrive at someone's location. And faster than thunder and lightning, even if it is thousands of miles away, it can be reached in an instant.

However, the price of this item is very expensive, at least it is a starting price of 100,000 yuan. Therefore, even if it is as rich as Qinglong Villa, it is impossible to use this kind of thing as a means of communication in ordinary times. They will only use it as a last resort, when the situation is urgent.

"It's Xue Rengao, the son of Xue Ju, the overlord of Western Qin!"

Zhang Yurou handed the golden arrow in his hand to Li Shimin: "The situation over there is already very bad. It is said that you and I have sent seven waves of messengers in a row, but they were all intercepted and killed. That's why they have to use it to tell me today. ”

"Xue Rengao?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, he had heard of this name. It is said that he is also a young hero, and he is famous in the Longyou area. At the age of twenty, he has already ranked among the first-class powerhouses,

The father of his person is known as the overlord of Western Qin, and this Xue Rengao is known as the little overlord.

He took the golden arrow in his hand and sensed it carefully with his mind. After just a moment, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning.

The situation over there did not continue to deteriorate after the caravan's accident. However, his 'Jiuquanzhuang' has been difficult to enter and exit since four days ago.

Even Tang Jian could only go to Wannian County under the escort of many masters and armor soldiers. But he was small, but he didn't dare to leave Jiuquanzhuang further.

At this time, a large number of masters, as well as at least 2,000 elite armorers, had arrived near his 'Nine Springs Village' and lurked.

In fact, with his current strength in Kansai, he is not afraid of such a scene. After all, the 'Jiuquanzhuang' alone can mobilize thousands of armor soldiers at any time.

And even at the level of martial arts, the strength of 'Jiuquanzhuang' is also very good.

Even if the seriously injured 'eight-armed fire ape' Wang Nuozhen is omitted, there are also 'grass foxes' Wei Zhi, Zhang Beidou and Zhou Wan'er.

Zhang Beidou once had a name with Luo Li, and although his cultivation is stagnant now, his foundation is extremely strong. Zhou Wan'er is Yang Yun's younger sister, in terms of talent, but she is not inferior to the latter at all, and she has also obtained the true inheritance of the Yue Nu Sword School, and she is a second-grade cultivator.

In addition, due to the continuous expansion of the private salt business of the Kansai generation, at this time, Qinglong Villa also had a first-class martial artist named Tang Ying, who was temporarily stationed in Jiuquanzhuang.

If it really doesn't work, there are still a few martial arts Li manors nearby. Tang Jian can ask for help from the martial arts Li family at any time, as well as several additional Li family families.

That side is the territory of the martial arts Li family, as long as Tang Jian ascends to the top in the name of Li Shimin, he can recruit tens of thousands of armor soldiers at any time, more than ten of them,

Even if the forces under Xue Ju's command poured in, it would be enough to deal with it.

is not afraid, Li Shimin only has such a little strength in his hands now, and he can't afford to lose it. If it is not a last resort, there is really no need to shop with the other party.

Tang Jian was obviously worried about the outbreak of a large-scale conflict, and all of them were trying their best to converge.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but rub the corners of his forehead with a headache.

He had thought about expanding his cooperation with the Western Qin Overlord, but at this time, the caravan was robbed by the other party - and it was when the confrontation between him and the Demon Dragon Babu was in full swing.

This not only made all his previous plans bankrupt, but also faced the embarrassing situation of fighting on two fronts.

But in addition to the troubles, Li Shimin felt even more depressed, and a sense of anger gradually grew on his face.

It's just a little Jincheng tyrant, so he doesn't take him Li Shimin in his eyes? It's not enough to rob him of his salt goods, but he still wants to slaughter and kill them all?

Zhang Yurou's eyes were red at this time, and she looked at Li Shimin fixedly: "Erlang, what are you going to do now?"

This time, Li Shimin certainly suffered an infrequent blow. But the biggest damage is still their Qinglong Villa.

In order to safely send hundreds of stones of private salt to the vicinity of Daxing City, the number of this caravan is at least more than five hundred, and at least one first-grade martial artist is also needed.

- Although in this, whether it is the armor in charge of escorting or those guys and porters, they are all hired from Kansai. But there are also some of the children of Qinglong Villa, so Zhang Yurou is heartbroken.

However, Zhang Yurou also knows that Li Shimin's current state is indeed not a doppelganger, and he is unable to take care of other things.

This is exactly what makes her extremely entangled - if Qinglong Villa wants to retaliate against Xue Ju's forces, then Li Shimin's participation is actually indispensable.

Although Qinglong Villa is strong, it is far away in Yangzhou, thousands of miles away from Kansai. Without the support of local forces, they would not be able to compete with Xue Ju, the head snake of the land, no matter what.

It's just that to her surprise, Li Shimin's reaction was extremely decisive: "Of course it's blood debt and blood repayment, I don't care if Xue Ju really has the qualifications of an overlord." This time they made a mistake, and they must give us an explanation. ”

Li Shimin also seemed to notice the surprise in Zhang Yurou's eyes, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, looking displeased: "Yurou, what kind of person am I in your eyes? Will you abandon your allies for the sake of the so-called overall situation? Not to mention that this is no longer your family's business, if I endure this breath." Then Li Liang in Liangzhou and Liang Shidu in Shuofang have to bully me Li Shimin's head and. ”

Zhang Yurou suddenly perked up, and immediately said in a heroic voice: "Then I will find a way to mobilize manpower! You can rest assured, the cost of this operation is all responsible for our Qinglong Villa." ”

She knew that Li Shimin was in a difficult situation now, although he had received a heavy bribe of more than 2 million yuan not long ago, most of it went into her pocket to offset the debt for the purchase of the 'Taixiao Thunder Ring'.

But even after that, Li Shimin still has a debt of 1.9 million yuan in her place.

So now, Li Shimin really can't come up with enough financial resources to start a war with Xue Ju.

"Mobilizing manpower is a matter of course. However, it is imperative to salute first and then to soldier. Let's talk to Xue Ju first. If the Western Qin Overlord is willing to bow his head and give us a satisfactory explanation, it will naturally be the best. If not, it's never too late to do it. ”

Li Shimin's expression was extremely calm: "I need a large amount of money now, and within three days, there must be at least two million yuan." ”

When he opened his mouth to ask for money, his tone was also natural, and he didn't look embarrassed at all.

Zhang Yurou was also unequivocal: "I can give you four million guan today! As long as you can make those bastards in Jincheng pay, there is no upper limit on the amount of money you can use." ”

She knows what her lover wants to do with this money, and Li Shimin's position as an embroidered general is now basically unimpeded in the officialdom.

But if in addition to this, you can also open the way with money, it will be even more unfavorable.

"Then the owner of the village, can you go to Daxing in the near future?"

The rumored overlord of Western Qin, Xue Ju, is a super-grade powerhouse, and he has almost no opponents in the Longyou area.

Li Shimin didn't know whether the rumors were true or not, but whether they were true or not, he had to take precautions.

And at this time, in their camp, the only one who can confront a Xue Ju is Zhang Zhongjian, a bearded guest.

In fact, the dumb servant and Li Yuan also have the ability to compete with super products. But it was impossible for the dumb servant to obey his orders, and as for Li Yuan, he didn't even have to think about it.

"I'll let my father know, but I don't think it's likely that he's going north in the near future. ”

Zhang Yurou smiled bitterly: "The conflict between my family and the Overlord Sect has intensified, and my father and several uncles from our Qinglong Villa have almost been nailed to the south in the past few months, and they can't move,"

If her father could rush to Kansai in the near future, then things would be much easier.

Even with the strength of Qinglong Villa's own power, they can suppress the forces under Xue Ju's command, but the problem is that they can't do it.

"Overlord Sect?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly, since he served as the embroidered general, he was able to consult many top-secret information of the embroidered guard.

From this, it is known that in recent years, the Overlord Sect has indeed expanded vigorously under the auspices of Lin Shihong.

This person and the leader of the Jieren and the chief of the Jiangyou Ninety-Seven Zhai General Alliance are allies of each other. made the Great Sui government jealous of it. Even if he knew that this mountain demon Lin Shihong was ambitious and had a heart of disobedience, he was helpless.

This is because the master beggar, not only has an outstanding reputation among the servants, but also has a lot of prestige and is deeply respected among the local Han people. In addition, he is a wealthy local tycoon, with tens of thousands of acres of land at home, more than 20,000 villagers, and 97 villages under his command, so it is easy to raise hundreds of thousands of troops in the local area.

Therefore, the local government can only impose a soft and restrained policy on these two people, and dare not force them too much, causing them to rebel.

This also caused the arrogance of these two people to become more and more high, and they almost reached the point of covering the sky with one hand in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
