Chapter 171: Not Enough Life
Li Yao was in an awkward situation now, and as soon as he came back from the place where he found the ghost green boat, he directly bumped into Zheng Zhilong and Bai Sha. came out of the territory that once belonged to him, only to find that now he doesn't even have a place to rest.
After Li Yao came out, he went around and around, and finally came to Li Dan's side, he was ready to fight again to see if there was a chance.
Li Dan was a little surprised when he saw Li Yao's arrival, Li Dan thought that this former henchman would definitely not come to see him after being hit like this, but just waited quietly to rush to Tugujialau.
"Li Yao, sit casually." Li Dan looked at the other party and said.
Li Yao didn't sit down, but came to Li Dan's side and said, "My lord, let me help you press the acupoint." ”
Li Dan smiled slightly, but did not refuse, but walked to the special chair and lay down, and closed his eyes.
This kind of scene has happened from time to time before, and the two talked in this state, but this time neither of them spoke, but quietly and quietly, knowing that Li Yao chose to sit down after pressing the acupoint.
Li Dan felt very comfortable, and slowly got up and changed his position and said, "Li Yao, you will definitely be dissatisfied with my approach, but this is human nature. Do a good job in Tuguegarao, and you will still have a chance to come back. ”
Li Yao clenched his fists and said: "As long as you do things for adults, everything you do is the same, it's just a different place." But Tuguegarau is now in White Sands, and we share the management of the gold mines, but one has to have the final say. ”
Li Dan smiled and said, "I didn't treat Baisha as my own. In the future, if someone is looking for trouble with him, it would be good if he could deal with his own affairs, so who has the final say in Tuguegarao? ”
This news is good news for Li Yao, he understands in his heart that Li Jian is staring at Baisha, revenge is certain, if Baisha is unfortunately captured by Li Jian, he will be the first person in the Tuge Garao Gold Mine at that time.
Li Yao thought a lot on the way here, the gold produced by the Tugejialao gold mine is an indispensable thing, and the interests in it are large, and when the time comes, several other pillars under Li Dan will definitely secretly contact him and seek some benefits from it. Except for Li Yan, who is a little better, the others are all small abacus, and they can't wait to fill all their own pockets, Li Jian's understanding of these people is really good.
Li Dan seemed to remember something, and said, "I forgot to find a new place to live for you again...... You see, either go back to your original place, or go to the yard where Yin Mole moved away, you can go anywhere, anyway, you will only stay for one night. ”
Li Yao nodded, he would definitely not go back to the original place, and if he went back, he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep at night, so he would simply go to the place where Yin Mole used to live for a night. "Your Excellency, do you mean to go to Tuguegarao tomorrow?"
Li Dan said slowly: "Since you have decided, you will cut through the mess quickly, so as not to have many dreams at night." ”
Li Yao secretly glanced at Li Dan, thought for a while and said, "My lord, in fact, I already went to see Zheng Zhilong just now?" ”
"You two shouldn't have a vocal conflict, right?" Li Dan asked.
Li Yao shook his head and said, "Zheng Zhilong is very capable, and my original subordinates are all listening to him now." But I also met a person who appeared next to Zheng Zhilong, that person I had seen before, it was the daughter of Blackbeard Li Kuiqi, whose name was Li Qiaoer. It looks beautiful, I wonder if adults know about it? ”
Li Dan squinted at Li Dan, and saw that the other party was weak for a while. "I don't know about this, but it's not a big deal, Zheng Zhilong is also a man with strong blood, handsome, and it's always normal to have no one around him."
Li Yao hurriedly said: "What the adults said is that I just said it out of curiosity. ”
Li Dan snorted, "If there is nothing to do, you can step down." ”
Li Yao didn't dare to stay longer, he had already taken a big risk by saying this, and now he could feel the anger in Li Dan's heart, so Li Yao bowed and left.
Just as Li Yao was leaving, Li Jian walked out from behind the screen and handed over the two treasure maps he had taken to Li Dan.
Li Jian arrived here before Li Yao, but the distance between the two was the front and back feet, and after knowing that Li Yao was coming, Li Jian, who had not had time to take out the treasure map, was signaled to temporarily hide behind the screen to avoid.
Li Dan took the two treasure maps and put them on the table casually, his eyes were still looking at the direction of Li Yao's departure, but Li Yao closed the door smoothly when he went out, and at this time, Li Dan couldn't see anything except the two doors.
"Zheng Zhilong has an extra woman by his side, do you know about this?" Li Dan asked.
Li Jian shook his head, "I've been studying with Yin Mole's predecessors before, and I've never been to Zheng Zhilong's place. ”
Li Dan said: "I just taught Li Yao a lesson today, saying that he is too sorry for his life now, and his courage is too small, but I didn't expect that his courage is not only not small, but also very big." You dare to talk about it in front of me. It seems that he still knows my temper too well and wants to use my displeasure to deal with Zheng Zhilong, I think he is obsessed with power to the point of greed! ”
Li Jian didn't express any opinion on this matter, so he stood quietly without saying a word.
Li Dan continued: "Zheng Zhilong is also very bold, without my permission, he actually brought outsiders to such an important place without permission, I think he is also very bold, but now is not the time to beat, and it is not too late to beat after a while." ”
Li Jian looked at the two treasure maps sitting upright and said, "Father, I feel like I haven't heard the news of the appearance of the treasure map for a long time. ”
Li Dan looked at the two treasure maps on the table and said: "Maybe they have been obtained, but it doesn't matter, as long as we get some of them, when the time comes, others will come to the door, or trade or claim, when the initiative is still in our hands, I specifically looked for someone to see, the complete treasure map is about dozens of fragments of this size, and now we have twelve in our hands, compared to those scattered treasure maps, this is already a big head." ”
The treasures that others used their lives to protect and even snatch were just a tool for profit when they came to Li Dan.
"Jian'er, in the future, you must slowly learn to look farther." Li Dan said to Li Jian.
Li Jian nodded, put down the matter of the treasure map for the time being, and then said, "Father, Baisha will leave tomorrow?" ”
Li Dan nodded, "I'm going to let Li Yao and Bai Sha leave together, and they are leaving together, I want to see what moths they can make along the way." When they get to Tuguegarao and the gold mining is all going well, then we can expand our armaments like crazy, and deal with the Spaniards and the men in black who have appeared out of nowhere! ”
Li Jian could feel that his father was a little anxious now, as if he wanted to speed up the progress of everything.
Although Li Dan said that the grade was over half a hundred, he still looked very energetic, no matter what, there was no problem in sitting in this position for ten years, Li Jian didn't know why his father was in such a hurry.
Li Dan looked at Li Yao and said: "I have no objection to you going to Baisha for revenge, but I still remember my two requirements, the first is to wait for the gold mine to stabilize first, and the second is to be cautious, no matter what the situation, you must make yourself safe!" ”
Li Jian said half-jokingly: "Father won't dislike me for being as timid as Li Yao?" ”
Li Dan sneered and said: "Even if Li Yao climbs to this position, he is still a subordinate in the final analysis. Subordinates are born to work hard, so they can't be cowardly. We are different, we are in power, only the right to live will belong to you, this is the difference, different people have different ways of living. ”
Li Dan continued: "If you have time to go to Zheng Zhilong's side, I know that you have only gotten along with Li Yan since you were a child, and you don't want to deal with the others, now you have to move around more of these people, and then grow up as soon as possible, I want to gradually hand over all things to you within a year or two, and you can't do things by temperament in the future." ”
Li Jian was very surprised by this, and still asked the question in his heart: "Father, you are still very young, why are you in such a hurry?" ”
Li Dan smiled slightly and said: "After so many years, I'm tired, you see that I'm suffering from a head disease first, and if I worry about it again, I'm afraid my head will explode, so you should come out early and take over all this." ”
Li Jian didn't continue to say anything, but nodded seriously.
"Oh, yes. Just now, I didn't say that I would let Li Yao and Baisha rush to Tugejialao, Li Yao now knows about this matter, and you will tell Baisha that you will take this opportunity to go to Zheng Zhilong's place to walk around. ”
Li Dan nodded in response, and then said, "Father, if there is nothing to do, the child will retire first." ”
After Li Jian left, Li Dan put the treasure map away carefully, and then stayed in the house alone. Just now Li Jian asked him why he was in such a hurry, and the answer he gave was that he was tired. In fact, no, no one is more greedy for power than him, but he really has to hand over these things to Li Jian quickly, because there is no time, to be precise, Li Dan has no time. He can feel the changes in his body, and sometimes he has to accept a reality in his heart, that is, the current pair of skins is already the limit for three or five years, and the time limit is coming!
Li Dan knew that it was not easy for him to have all this now, and he even paid a heavy price to get it, and this price was life! For other ordinary people, more than half a hundred years old can be regarded as living almost, but it is obviously not enough for him, and it will not be enough in another three or five years.
The sea witch once told Li Dan that he was a very long-lived person, and Li Dan didn't know how long he could live if he lived a very long life.
At that time, he learned that it was enough for him to live between the year of his fate and the year of the sixtieth birthday, and only now did he realize that it was far from enough......
