Chapter 158: The Mission Leaves
What An Xiao said was still very effective, the sun had just risen, and someone knocked on the door of the yamen when it was just dawn, and as soon as the official of the outer government informed the person, Li Xie took the wooden box in the hand of the person and opened it to take a look.
Good guys, this is millennial ginseng?
You ghost! How does it look like pickled dried white radish? But apparently he didn't know much about this aspect of things, so after Cicada Yi woke up, after Li Xie handed over the ginseng to her, Li Xie didn't care.
Li Xie originally thought that the Qutu Demon was captured by himself, so the delegation he led should not leave on time the next day, at least to find someone, after all, the Qutu Demon is the patriarch of the ant clan, not an insignificant little person, it is impossible to ignore him.
And even if these things aside, as a grandmaster, the external deterrence that the Qutu Demon Man can bring to the people of the ant clan cannot be underestimated. But I don't want to, Li Xie's idea is completely wrong.
These are the people of the group, not to mention that they came out to look for the Qutu demon, they didn't even let out a fart, and the next day, they left on time as soon as the time came.
In fact, let alone Li Xie, even Li Zhanji also thinks this is incredible. Originally, when Wei Yi reported that Li Xie had caught the Qutu Demon, Li Zhanji also thought that Li Xie was using a trap or something to temporarily trap the Qutu Demon.
He never thought that Li Xie had beaten Qu Tu Demon to death, and it was precisely because of this that Li Zhanji would rush to shoot An Xiao. Because in Li Zhanji's consciousness, the grandmaster, only the grandmaster can match it.
When sending An Xiao out, Li Zhanji had even thought about what charges he would give him after An Xiao arrested Qu Tu Demon. After thinking about charging him, he used the entire ant clan as a threat to imprison him for life, either for his own use, or to extort something from the ant clan.
Don't look at the ant tribe is just a small race, with a population of less than 100,000, but its geographical location is good. To put it mildly, in that place, a hole is a gold mine, and picking up a lump of mud and priing it open is a lump of gold. Therefore, the ant tribe has fewer people, but more money, which can be seen from the annual tribute of the people.
But when An Xiao brought the Qutu Demon Man, Li Zhanji didn't have any ideas. Charge him? The Qutu Demon is almost a piece of wood, and I'm afraid that nothing matters to the current Qutu Demon Man.
It is precisely because of this that Li Zhanji has no choice but to order the Qutu Demon to be secretly imprisoned for the time being, because it is obviously impossible for this kind of Qutu Demon to be handed over as a transaction, even if he wants to be put back, he must wait for his injuries to heal, otherwise it will not be blackmailing others, but provoking a war between the two countries.
And after the imperial doctor checked his injuries and reported them, Li Zhanji suddenly felt that it was better to kill the Qutu Demon Man after dealing with it. Li Zhanji never thought that his son would be so ruthless, if you make a trap, you will make a trap, even if you get a trap, you will kill someone, but if you make a grandmaster of the first generation of grandmasters into a eunuch, will it be too much?
This place is wounded, but no man can take it. There are very few vendettas in the rivers and lakes who attack other people's three ways, not to mention that the grandmaster and you have no grudge in the past and no grudge in the near future, there is no need to kill people so much!
This is Li Zhanji's misunderstanding, Li Zhanji thought that the stupid appearance of the Qu Tu Demon was caused by Li Xie's torture, but it was really because Li Zhanji couldn't understand why the Qu Tu Demon was like this, so when the imperial doctor reported the injury of the Qu Tu Demon, it was taken for granted that he did so.
However, the grandmaster is a grandmaster after all, and he already represents a certain value in his own right. Not to mention anything else, that is, the blood on the grandmaster's body that has been assimilated by "qi", if it is taken and drunk, it can greatly increase the probability of people awakening "qi". What's more, the Qutu Demon is not only a grandmaster, but also the head of a clan.
When it is necessary, poison him stupidly, and in exchange for it, it is also good to blackmail the ant clan. As for why he was poisonous, it was obvious that the Qutu Demon who was tortured like this obviously couldn't be reassured to let him return to the ant clan.
The departure of this mission, in fact, was originally arranged by the Qu Tu Demon, he never thought that he would capsize in the small ditch of Li Xie, so there was really no way back, for the safety of the mission, the Qu Tu Demon also asked them not to wait for him to leave directly the next day, and he would wait for them on the border line.
But that's fine, the mission leaves, and the Khuthu demon is confused there. Even if the ant clan came to the door to ask for someone in the future, Li Zhanji could completely excuse himself and say, "Didn't the demon patriarch go back with you?" ”
Even if he wants to make a deal with the Qutu Demon in the future, Li Zhanji can completely say: Since the Demon Patriarch disappeared, I have tried my best to make people dig three feet into the ground, and the emperor has lived up to his wishes, and finally let me find it.
Li Zhanji believes that as soon as these words come out, there is no need to mention conditions, as long as the foreshadowing is done in advance, so that the ant clan knows his troubles, the ant clan will definitely have a reward in this regard.
Li Zhanji and Li Xie looked at the opening of the mission, they were puzzled at the same time, and almost laughed, but Li Baichuan watched the mission leave, but he was troubled every day, he didn't know what went wrong, obviously he had negotiated with Qutu Demon, but it has not disappeared until now.
When the Qu Tu Demon first arrived in Luo Tianfu, Li Baichuan began to pay attention to Li Xie every day, and as the days passed, Li Baichuan did not dare to secretly contact the Qu Tu Demon, after all, this is Luo Tianfu, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, not as good as the outside, for his transaction with the Qu Tu Demon, this kind of almost traitorous move, even the psychological pressure made Li Baichuan dare not contact the Qu Tu Demon in this Luo Tianfu.
So Li Baichuan could only wait for himself while comforting himself: It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, people are also a generation of grandmasters, and they will never deceive themselves.
As the days passed, it was time for the mission to leave, Li Baichuan saw that Li Xie's side was still safe and sound, and at this time, Li Baichuan even comforted himself with words: It's okay, it's okay. No matter what people say, they are all grandmasters of the generation, and they are the heads of a clan, even if they regret it and don't want to trade with themselves, they will definitely not betray themselves, Qutu Demon, I will go to your grandma.
Li Baichuan couldn't do anything but comfort and fear at the same time. Not to mention going to Qutu Demon to question him, even if he doesn't dare to go out of the door now......
After the mission left, Li Xie thought that the first person to come to him would be Li Zhanji, the fucking emperor. But I didn't want to be the first to come to the door, but it was my senior sister Cao Ying.
But this time she didn't take Liu Yuanbao with her, but with her younger brother Cao Zhixiang.
To be honest, since seeing Cao Ying's full face that day, Li Xie was quite surprised by Cao Ying's arrival.
Li Xie beckoned Cao Ying to sit down, and neither of them could tell that they were people who had only communicated more than ten times. Very familiar and full of tacit understanding, after chatting for a while, the two came to the study where they did the last time, and the two played three more games of chess.
During this period, Cao Zhixiang has been following his sister Cao Ying's side, but he is always restless, as if he has a needle under his buttocks. Li Xie remembered that this little guy was not like this! Last time, I met Liu Bao, an elder who got along with him at home, on the street, and this little guy sat on horseback the whole time without moving.
Except for calling someone at the beginning, as if there was no such person as Liu Bao, he was eating the things in his hands the whole time, and he didn't even look at Liu Bao. Later, when Cao Ying and Liu Bao talked and Li Xie led his horse, the little guy just glanced at Li Xie and didn't say hello.
So what's the reason for this little guy's restlessness today? Look at Cao Zhixiang, this little guy pulled the corner of Cao Ying's clothes again. Li Xie and Cao Ying also finished playing this game of chess, looking at the little guy's two hands holding the corners of Cao Ying's clothes, I don't know why, Li Xie thought of eating.
Then Li Xie felt that this senior sister would not bring this little guy to eat rock sugar gourd this time, right? Li Xie remembered that Cao Ying took a big bag with him last time when she left, and it was obvious that Cao Ying would not be a person who liked to eat these. So Li Xie has an eighty percent grasp of his guess.
