Forty-fourth

A word woke up the person in the dream, and the second visit to the Li Mansion had already bowed down

Li Ying and his entourage hurriedly returned to the post station, and when they arrived at the room, Li Jin, who was traveling with him, said to Li Ying: "Li Xin's guy is so unreasonable, I waited for the door but was kicked out by him, it's really hateful." If we weren't alone now, who would have come here to suffer from this bird's breath. Now that we go back like this, won't it make the clan relatives laugh? ”

Li Ying pondered for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "Who would have expected such a move, before saying a word, he served tea and sent it off, it's really strange!" Why doesn't Li Xin seem to have any intention of forming an alliance at all? Shouldn't he, don't he know his current situation? ”

"Maybe I don't know? He looked so proud that he didn't take us seriously. I'm really, or we can find a way to test it? And let him taste our awesomeness! ”

"Why did the virtuous nephew think of any way to make Li Xin ally with us?"

"There's no good way, but there's a bad idea. Didn't he kick us out? Then we will buy enough gifts, go to his house to make amends, and let the people of Jinyang know that our Li family in Longxi has made amends to Li Xin, so that as long as he accepts the gifts, and we make a big splash, then he can't even wash himself by jumping into the Yellow River, and can only beg to form an alliance with us! ”

"And what if he doesn't take it?"

"Then it is better to say, we will preach that he is of bad character and narrow-minded, so that he will be speechless, and his reputation will stink at once, and then we will be avenged."

"Doesn't that push him against us? And it's an undying enemy. Although Li Xin's other strength is not strong, but when it comes to military strength, he is ranked first in the family, and if he does it regardless of losses, it is the Kwantung family, and they have to weigh it. That's why it's too dangerous. ”

"Then does Uncle have a good plan? Could it be that our dignified Li family in Longxi can't even deal with a branch head of the Li family of Zhao County?"

"Wait, you say it again, what is Li Xin?"

"O master of the family! What's wrong uncle? Is there anything wrong? ”

"I finally understand why Li Xin has such an attitude today? It seems that we have been in Liangzhou for a long time and have forgotten some of the etiquette that we should have! ”

"Why?" Not only Li Jin was puzzled, but other people were also very surprised.

"What is Li Xin's identity? He is the head of the Yingchuan Li clan, and he can be regarded as a strong family in the entire Zhao County Li family, and he has the possibility of leading the entire Zhao County Li family, and he can be regarded as the head of a medium-sized family. Think about how we usually deal with people in the family? Even small families treat each other with courtesy, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, without the slightest arrogance. Now Li Xin is also a character, he was born as a military general, but he has even defeated the Xianbei Tanshi Huai, and he naturally has arrogance in his bones, so will he allow others to rely on him too much, too arrogant? That's why our performance today angered him, and that's why there was something later. ”

"So what do we do? Do you want to stop there? I think it's a good idea to kill his sharpness with my own methods! ”

Li Ying was not so kind to Li Jin at this time, "If you want to die, go yourself!" Don't pull us on! I can't stand even a little bit of arrogance, can he Li Xin be threatened by you? If you do, I'm afraid we'll be left forever! ”

"Isn't he afraid of our Li family in Longxi?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. But if you push him into a corner, what else does he have to worry about? This is a state, not our Liangzhou, with Si Li in the middle, it is very difficult for us to take revenge, and under the pressure of each other, if he compromises with the Kanto family, why worry about not being helped? In fact, with our soldiers, we will all die in vain! ”

"Why?" Li Jin was a little scared, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Why?! It's simple, it's not worth it! For the sake of us, it is not worth it to die with Li Xin! We fought with Li Xin endlessly, and it was the Kanto and Kansai families that would benefit in the end, so we would rather deal with these two first, and then settle accounts with Li Xin at the end. If there is a request for Li Xin in the end, then our death will probably be written off. With our death in exchange for a powerful ally, I believe that the head of the family will definitely do it. ”

Li Jin was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "Why? ”

"This is the family, everything is for the benefit of the family, for the sake of the family, anyone's life can be given up, even the head of the family himself. You can't understand it, so you won't be able to get the next head of the family. But it's okay not to think about too many complicated things. Okay, let's get back to the topic, what can I do to meet with Li Xin again and discuss the alliance. ”

"There's no good way for my little nephew, but I think it's a good way to give gifts to make amends."

"Yes, as I thought, the gift is for giving. It seems that we are sincere, but there is no need to make a statement, and it seems that we are not threatening each other with this. And the gift doesn't have to be too expensive, it will show that we look down on Li Xin, and the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Come to the door the day after tomorrow, buy at the market tomorrow, get ready, and now take advantage of the time to discuss the etiquette earlier, and think about how to come to the door? ”

On the third day, early in the morning, Li Ying came to the door of the Li Mansion with everyone with gifts, and saw the guards standing outside the gate of the mansion, Li Ying was completely full of smiles, "Two brothers, if you are tired, I will say that the envoy of the Li family in Longxi will visit your lord." After speaking, he handed over a letter of worship and a gift.

"My family said, you don't see him, you can go."

Li Ying still smiled, and then said, "Today I brought a gift to make amends to your family." If your family insists on not seeing you, then so be it, and we'll leave the gift. You can just talk to your family. Someone brings a gift to the door, and we go. ”

After that, he turned around and left.

The guards guarding the door in front of the door were a little panicked when they saw such a scene, although the lord had ordered it, but such a situation was still very difficult for him, and it was not good for the reputation of the lord to spread it like this. So he was in a dilemma, and then someone inside the door shouted: "Since you are here, don't stay outside the door, come in." The voice was none other than Li Xin.

In fact, he had been watching this scene inside the door, and after seeing that everyone in the Li family in Longxi had put down their bodies and were ready to communicate on an equal footing, Li Xin knew that the time was almost up, and if he was forced again, it would be worth the loss. The family has the best face, if they let them put down their gifts and go back today, then it is equivalent to not giving the Li family face, and it is a slap in the face, then in order to ensure their status, the Li family will inevitably use the strength of the whole clan to retaliate, which is disastrous for Li Xin! Besides, now is not the time to turn against the Li family in Longxi, it is still necessary to maintain a normal relationship. So Li Xin walked out of the door and greeted him. It's as if you're here to greet an old friend.

Li Xin led in front, Li Ying followed behind, and the group came to the lobby.
