"Come with me, two of you." In the small courtyard behind the Moon Tower, the little guy is taking the two of them along the bluestone path to the deepest house, which was originally built by Yan Fan, hidden and behind the forest, but there is a bit of paradise meaning, and later it was changed into a residence by the Ying sisters, waiting for the two to move to the general's mansion, here is idle, usually will not entertain anyone here, but the two of them are not here to have fun, both of them have a calm face, the older man frowned slightly, "The two of you please come in, the son is already waiting inside." ”
"It's a mystery." The older man walked in with some anger in his tone, and the young man behind him followed in silence, and the lamp in the room was shining on the face of the waiter.
"You don't know what to say? Since you're here, let's talk about it. The other party said coldly, and he didn't even plan to let the two of them sit down, "Hmph, Li Huai, this is your Li family's hospitality?" I don't think the dignified Northwest general is just like that! ”
The waiting face raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth smiled, "It seems that Old Man Wu's discipline is really powerful, otherwise he would not have produced such a good son." ”
"You!" The old man is naturally Wu Xuesen, and behind him is his eldest son Wu Zhilong, "Father, don't be rash, Li Gongzi has the reputation of a poet, and he is not the kind of unreasonable person. ”
"You are Wu Zhilong?!" Li Huai set his eyes on the other party, his talking temperament is good, there are also such people under his own in his previous life, he is diligent and hardworking, his understanding is also good, he is young and old, and he is also meticulous and thoughtful in doing things, and such people are often pretentious, and the most unbearable thing is that the people around him are not motivated.
"It's here, Li Gongzi, this time, my father and son came over to ......"
"I only want Wu Chenglong, and I don't care about anything else?" Li Huai interrupted the other party's words, Wu Zhilong's face still did not change, "Zhilong did go too far this time, which made the Li family lose face, but I think about it, Li Gongzi also knows that at this time, it is not all Cheng Long's fault, he is just a pawn of others." ”
"What do you mean?" Li Huai stared at each other, Ying Tianxiang walked out of the inner room and stood behind Li Huai, "As long as we can leave Cheng Long's life, we will be grateful, of course my Wu family will compensate." ”
"Oh? can exchange Wu Chenglong's life, I'm a little curious, what else can your Wu family have? ”
"Isn't Hong Ji in the hands of Gongzi always trying to open up the trade routes in the south? My Wu family can help, there are our businesses in several state capitals in the south, and several big businessmen also have dealings with us, which can help Hong Ji establish himself as soon as possible. Wu Zhilong said as he looked at the face of the young man opposite, and seeing that the other party was unmoved, he continued, "In addition, the Wu family's silk village, dyeing and printing workshop, and money village in the south can all let Hong Ji become a shareholder, and the distribution of benefits will definitely satisfy Li Gongzi." ”
"Tian Xiang, help me see off the guests." Ying Tianxiang nodded, but Wu Zhilong hurriedly shook his hand, "Don't worry, son, this time my Wu family really has the heart to make amends, in this way, my Wu family is willing to pay 300,000 taels of silver to fund the Northwest military?" How is it? In his opinion, this is already a great benefit, in exchange for so many benefits for a woman, even a fool should know what the result is, let alone a general's mansion, however, when he looked at Li Huai's face again, it was still a cold look, Ying Tianxiang walked in front of the other party, and before the other party could react, he put a foot on his lower abdomen, and the man retreated out of the house.
"Li Huai, don't go too far!" Wu Xuesen saw his son fall to the ground, and the originally suppressed anger in his heart exploded at this moment, "What do you want?" It's just a play, what my Wu family has done is already benevolent and righteous, is it possible that you still have to take my child's life? ”
Wu Xuesen roared, but saw Li Huai nodded, and the expression on his face couldn't help but be stunned, "You're right, I just want his life, I, Li Huai, will never use the people around me to exchange for wealth, and I hate such people the most, your youngest son is a beast, your eldest son is not as good as a beast, as for what you are, I don't know." ”
"You! Even your father wouldn't dare to talk to the old man like this, the hundred-year-old foundation of my Wu family, if you want to fight, we will accompany you! ”
"Accompaniment?!" Li Huai smiled, "Why are you guys?" With the sour Confucianism of the Manchu Dynasty? How many people know the imperial history of moving their mouths? Or leaning on that sick tiger in the northwest? ”
At the end of the day, Wu Xuesen's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he didn't say a word for a long time, "I can tell you, those bad things about your Wu family and Tian Hu, I have already investigated it clearly, the reason why I didn't hand it over directly is that I want to see your ugly appearance, now I'm tired of playing, tomorrow morning the emperor will know all the plans of your Wu family, whether it is Ling Chi or beheading, it depends on your creation!" Li Huai looked at the old man with a smile, and the other party's eyes were bloodshot, like a beast about to go crazy.
"Don't think that your Li family can be better, even if you die, I will drag your Li family with me." Wu Xuesen gritted his teeth and looked at the other party, and Wu Zhilong, who was behind him, also stood up tremblingly, "Where did the firearms and crossbow arrows used by your Li family in the northwest come from?" I also want you to give something to the Xia Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, don't think that if you do it secretly, you won't let others know, I know what you Hong Ji did, if you dare to mess around, we are not afraid. ”
At the beginning in Liangshan, the explosives and crossbow arrows used by Li Huai, and even the flying balloons, these are all the products of Hong Ji, although they were used in the battle with Tian Hu, but in the eyes of some people, this is the best basis for the Li family to support the army, that is, their Li family wants to rebel, and some people believe it.
And the money that Hong Ji sent to the north was enough to make the entire Chinese Dynasty shake and anger......
Li Huai looked at the other party, what he was waiting for was this sentence, the so-called benefits that should be given in front of him were just a layer of sugar coating, but the real thing was this last sentence.
"The Wu family really made a good calculation, Hong Ji privately made weapons, and the Li family supported the soldiers and respected themselves, which is really a good rhetoric." Wu Zhilong looked at the smile on the other party's face, and couldn't help but have some bad premonitions in his heart, "What if I tell you that the biggest shareholder of Hong Ji is that one?" Li Huai pointed to the sky with his finger, "Or let me tell you again, "What about the one who knows everything from beginning to end?" ”
The room was instantly quiet, the faces of the Wu family father and son were full of shocked expressions, and their hearts were even colder, unintentionally they seemed to have touched the darkest secret of the Hua Dynasty, and the fear in their hearts slowly dispersed......
