He came up with the previous plan to unite with Yeli, Mashhad, and Barihei to fight against the Protectors. He also came up with the idea of having the imams encourage the followers to go to war and stir up hatred between the Shiites and Sunnis against the Puritans.

Although it caused some trouble when the cathars attacked the city. But as an enemy, there is still some ability.

Li Chengji asked the affairs department to search for talents early on, so his name was included in the list of recruiters very early. In particular, after he was rejected by Egnaqi, the possibility of him being recruited by the Secretariat was raised by two levels.

At this time, listening to Li Chengji's undisguised solicitation, Ali Bura was slightly surprised. Goodbye Li Chengji's face is sincere, not like a joke. He hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "If the governor does not feel that he is in the way, Ali Bura is willing to drive for the governor." ”。

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Egnazi has fled, and Maru has changed hands. If you follow the old master again, there is no future at all. What's more, Egnaqi has long been disgusted with him, so naturally there is no reason to follow him again.

It is also the territory of Khorasan, which is different from the Central Plains. Those scholars who read poetry and books were full of Confucian loyalty to the monarch through the imperial examination. And the officials of Khorasan are mostly from the family of everyone. They are officials, and they all rely on the favor of the rulers and the power of their families.

And in his mind, he was not instilled with the Confucian words of loyalty to the king. In addition, Khorasan has been war-torn for a long time, and the winner is king. Therefore, those officials in high positions have no idea of loyalty.

So for them, following the winner is the most normal thing.

Seeing that he agreed, Li Chengji was a little happy in his heart. In the end, strategists have always been the rarest. Since the establishment of the Governor's Palace in Khorasan, there has been no suitable candidate. Whether it is Zhang Timing or Al Zimi, they are both a few points worse in strategy.

Therefore, the allegiance of Ali Bura is worth ten thousand gold.

He personally helped him to get up and made a gesture of a corporal. Let the neglected Ali Bura be quite moved.

Later, Lee Seung-ji named Uluhei Maha again.

"Governor!" Seeing that Ali Bura was being reused, Uluhei Maha's flattery came to Lee Seungji and knelt down.

"You incite believers and slander Puritanism. It is a serious crime, and there is no blame for death. With that, Li Dali held a long knife in his hand and stepped forward to slash off Uluhei Maha's head.

Frightened, Uluhei Maha got up and fled. But Li Dali is faster! He stepped forward and slashed down at his back. Instantly screamed and fell to the ground. But he wasn't dead for a while! Instead, he screamed and kept crawling out of the field. Large streams of hot blood flowed from his back, melting the snow.

Seeing this, Li Chengji cut off his head again. I heard a thud, and the head rolled on the ice. The magnates of Malu, who knelt down in the distance, turned pale with fright.

Hashmian's heart trembled, and even his aching knees seemed to be unconscious.

"Hashmian!" , just when he was panicking in his heart, Li Chengji called his name.

"Hey! It's your turn! Seeing that Hashmian seemed absent-minded, the cloth merchant Alin Shehei immediately bumped his arm and reminded.

After coming back to his senses, Hashmian endured the fear in his heart, and came to Li Chengji and knelt down. During this period, Uluhei Maha, who was holding back his eyes and did not blink his eyes, was already so frightened that he was sweating like rain.

"Thou hast been selling grain to the governor's palace and defending the Puritans, and thou hast been a righteous merchant. Lee's Commercial Bank will open a branch in Malu, would you like to cook? ”。 Li Chengji's voice was not loud, but in the ears of Hashmian, it was like thunder, and the movement was very loud.

And the state of mind, like getting in a car, experienced a short-term sense of rapid speed from the trough to the high.

"Thank you, Governor! Thanks, Governor Xie! Reacting, Hashmian said with joy and gratitude.

After all, the Lee firm was the governor's firm. As long as the Governor's Palace exists, the future is limitless. And its livelihood is very widespread. From Daliao to Mongolia, it has its existence. I was fortunate to be the head of the branch of Li's Commercial Bank in Malu City, and his status and reputation are no longer the same.

After that, Li Chengji named these people one by one. Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished. In addition to being beheaded, there are different punishments such as imprisonment and confiscation of family property.

Let all the kneeling greeters be afraid of the cathars.

However, surprisingly, Li Chengji did not enter the city. Most of the apologists who had originally entered the city also withdrew. Only a few guarded the gates and made rounds around the city.

After five days, there was still no sign of the cathars entering the city.

The people of Malu, who had already accepted the rule of the cathars, couldn't help but think about it. Then there was a rumor in the city that the cathars were preparing to slaughter the city.

This is not without precedent in the realm of Maru.

Therefore, for several days, the atmosphere in the city has become a lot stranger. In addition, the cathars guarded the gates of the city, and no idle people were allowed to approach or enter or exit. The rumors of the slaughter of the city became more and more turbulent.

All the trading houses were closed, and the people were closed. Occasionally, when they go out, they are all in a hurry. Everyone's face was full of inexplicable worry and despair.

But the top brass of the cathar army didn't seem to know about it. Not only did they not post notices to appease people, but martial law was also imposed. During the day, the people were only allowed to buy and sell on the streets for an hour and a half. Otherwise, there will be a punishment.

As a result, the people were even more panicked.

In such a situation, Zhang's leather goods company. Several face-stowage businessmen in the city took advantage of an hour and a half of free time to visit Zhang's leather goods store.

"Oh! Three distinguished guests, why did you come here in a hurry today? Zhang Xinglu, the shopkeeper of Zhang's firm, asked with a smile on his face. Since the ordeal of exile, his temperament has changed dramatically. No longer as young and arrogant as before.

But he was a little reluctant to let him do things under Li Chengji. asked Zhang Timing for some dinars as the base money and concentrated on business.

Unfortunately, he ended up doing what he didn't want to do.

"Hey! It's such a time, how can Shopkeeper Zhang still laugh? A businessman who had a good personal relationship with Zhang Xinglu said with a sad face. The other two businessmen were also depressed, and seemed to be extremely sad.

Zhang Xinglu was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask. He invited them to sit down, and ordered them to be served milk tea and cigarettes.

This is the most fashionable hospitality in Khorasan nowadays. Therefore, people who have a little bit of family power have these two things at home. It's just that the price of tea is expensive, so people with ordinary families can only use coffee or milk instead.

In the case of Hua Yan, it is to buy some loose tobacco. This is the cheapest, two Dirkhans issued by the Khorasan Governor's Palace, you can buy one or two. Buy another pipe, and when you want to smoke, just add some shreds of tobacco to the pipe and you can smoke it for a long time.

Despite the taste, it is inferior to cigarettes. But there are so few cigarettes on the market. Therefore, most people can only settle for the next best thing and choose tobacco.

Seeing Zhang Xinglu take out rolled Chinese cigarettes and milk tea to entertain them, the three businessmen glanced at each other, as if they had a deep meaning.

(Thanks to Sargusmakis for the monthly pass support.) We must strive to squeeze out the idleness and strive for the three watches to report. ）
