Chapter 158: Shame and Courage

"Brother Xu, please go slowly."

When Xu Shiyang left, Li Feihu and Li Feihuang personally sent him out of the gate, and along the way, a group of small cabinets and guests from all over the world who were waiting for the Li family's big cabinet to meet looked at them with extremely surprised eyes.

It's hard to imagine who can let the two big cabinets of the Li family show up to send them away.

"Who is this man?" A guest from Siam whispered in his native language.

All those asked shook their heads.

In fact, at that moment, there were quite a few people who had this question in their hearts, but very few people knew the answer.

A Tianzhu merchant who had just signed a sales contract with Xu Shiyang whispered to his companion: "This is the lord of the dock fort in the north, which is the meaning of the king of the earth." He just bought 5,000 pieces of cloth and a lot of saltpeter from me. ”

Unfortunately, he didn't know the specific relationship between Xu Shiyang and the Li Group, after all, the latter never bought any unpopular homespun cloth from him.

Moreover, he speaks in his native language, and very few people can understand him.

As a result, speculation began to spread rapidly.

Several Tianzhu people believed that Xu Shiyang should be the prince of some powerful princely state, and possibly even the king.

The Pars merchant who had been fighting with Xu Shiyang before entering the port was now trembling with fear.

If there were only two boats for Xu Shiyang, he could still deceive himself that he could kill the other party at sea.

But now, who the Li family attaches more importance to can be seen with his heels. If the Li family wants to kill him, they can't even use a finger, which is easier than crushing an ant.

'I'm done......,' thought the Pars merchant sadly.

Of course, in the countries within the radiation range of Confucian civilization, there is no such unreliable speculation, but they guess that Xu Shiyang should be from a certain gentry family in the Great Zhou, and the strength of this gentry family is not small, otherwise it would not have allowed the two big cabinets to be sent away.

Then some imaginative guys began to speculate whether the two young people who were sent out were going to marry the Li family? One of them will become Li Feihuang's husband?

That's right, Li Feihuang is already an old girl, but in political marriages, age is never a problem, right?

In the whispering of people's discussions, Li Feihu and Li Feihuang kept sending Xu Shiyang and Xu Shiliu outside the venue.

There, Li Feihu untied a gorgeous Japanese knife with a scabbard wrapped in crocodile skin at his waist, and handed it to Xu Shiyang with both hands:

"Brother Xu, this knife is a treasure knife that my father spent a thousand yuan and hired a master craftsman from Fusang to build for three years, called 'Tiger Cut', today you and I hit it off at first sight, I will give it to you, I hope Brother Xu can use it to kill the Tartars and achieve our goal!"

'A thousand swords are used to cut the tartars of the heavy armor, it will make people feel distressed to death, right? ’

Xu Shiyang has already had a bad experience, after the last battle, he always felt that it was better to use a waist knife for a short soldier, even if it was cut and broken on the armor, he would not feel distressed.

It's just that people happily gave away famous knives like offering treasures, and Xu Shiyang couldn't refuse.

"In that case, thank you Brother Li for this!"

Xu Shiyang hugged his fists and bowed to Li Feihu, pretending to be surprised:

"This knife is called Tiger Cut? That's just great, my colleagues in Qi Province who insisted on the War of Resistance also called me 'Young Tiger'. ”

"Hahaha, this knife is related to Brother Xu!" Li Feihu laughed and said, "I also called Feihu because I love this knife!" ”

It turns out that the names of the Li Group are all nicknames. ’

"The younger brother didn't prepare any gifts this time, in that case, I will also give Brother Li a knife."

Xu Shiyang handed his waist knife to Li Feihu, and he explained:

"This knife is definitely not as good as Brother Li's tiger cut, and it may be worth 1 yuan, but this is what I seized from a Tartar Meng'an, and it is also considered to be of some commemorative significance, and Brother Li can use it for self-defense."

"Oh? Booty? Then the value of this knife is not below the tiger cut! This is the kind of weapon that men should use! ”

Li Feihu said solemnly:

"Brother Xu, you stay here for a few days, I will discuss it with the major cabinets at home, and then find a chance for you to meet with my big shopkeeper. During this period, please Brother Xu temporarily live in my courtyard, and all the expenses of Brother Xu and your family will be borne by me! ”

Xu Shiyang thanked him: "Thank you Brother Li again!" ”

……

After leaving the venue, Xu Shiliu whispered: "Third brother, this person is also interesting, he is older than the two of us combined, but he is calling Brother Xu one by one. ”

"At first he was just polite, then he was serious." Xu Shiyang replied: "Looking at it now, he has been moved by our plan. ”

Xu Shiyang's plan is a great opportunity for the Li family.

Whether it is economically or politically, if it is successful, the Li family can go to the next level, and Li Feihu can't afford not to take it seriously.

In comparison, what's the big deal to call a young man twenty years younger brother?

"Third brother, I think this Li Feihu was really moved by what you said, if that's the case, have we succeeded in coming to Jiangnan this time?"

"It's still early." Xu Shiyang replied: "I can convince Li Feihu, and probably a few other big cabinets, but it is estimated that I can't convince all thirteen people." ”

"Why?"

"I only know that the three brothers Li Feilong, Li Feifeng, and Li Feihu, who are at the core of the Li Group, really want to recruit An, but I'm not sure that other big cabinets also have the same idea. Maybe someone doesn't want to recruit An? Maybe someone wants to recruit an alone? This is all difficult to say, we still lack understanding of the Li family. ”

徐世杨 says:

"I guess after negotiating with Li Feilong, he will bargain with us. Maybe he will think that he will only give us a quota of 100,000 yuan a year, and we will have to cut off the Grand Canal, because this is our strategic goal. ”

"And there is another point, the core plan we took out to fool the Li family is actually to use Wen Xianggong's brand to suppress people, so after we arrive in Jiangnan, we must get in touch with Wen Xianggong as soon as possible and persuade him to support our plan."

"If there is a minister of literature who comes forward as a guarantee, the Li family will not deduct our quota in order to recruit peace in the future."

"But I hate the Wen family." Xu Shiliu remembered the humiliation he received in front of the Wenfu last time, and felt extremely uncomfortable: "I ...... last time." ”

"It's actually a good thing to feel shamed, as long as you can be ashamed."

Xu Shiyang persuaded and said:

"If we succeed, pinching a bribe-taking housekeeper to death is like pinching an ant to death. But if we don't succeed, the shame you have suffered will only be swallowed in your stomach forever. ”

"I see!"

Xu Shiliu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said:

"I try to be as patient as possible until I succeed. When I succeed, I must make sure that the housekeeper lives better than dies! ”

"Although I think you may not bother to pay attention to him at all when the ......time comes, but it's up to you, if you still hate him so much at that time."

徐世杨 says:

"Now, let's get ready, once the Shuangyu side is decided, let's set off for Lin'an immediately!"
