The most unfair thing in the world is that the rope hanging on your neck is broken, but the one on my neck is still so strong, not only Xiao Man, several Xiao family members, and generals have also been waved to cut the noose, one by one The rest of the life after the catastrophe gasped, and the eyes of more than 70 Japanese generals and nobles hanging on the gallows were red, fluttering and kicking out a few meters high, but unfortunately, not even one of them paid attention to them.

His eyes were full of gold stars for a long time, and Xiao Man finally managed to catch his breath, but at first glance, he glared at Li Jie with provocation, and shouted quite unconvinced: "Aren't you going to hang Miss Ben?" How? Can't get your hands on it? ”

"Barbarian, don't say it!"

The old man's voice sounded behind him, and Xiao Man noticed that an old body hugged him, wasn't Xiao Lou, who had lost contact that day, still the one?

"Uncle Lou Jing, why are you here?"

Ignoring this 'confused' eldest lady who almost lost her life, Xiao Lou respectfully arched her fist and bowed: "Old man Lanling Xiao Lou, please meet His Royal Highness King Shuo." ”

Seeing that the old guy's eyes went straight to the gallows and the half of the machine blade that was 'exposed', his face couldn't hold back, Li Jie simply snorted coldly and asked very rudely: "Old Mr. Xiao is here to confess?" ”

"Oh? What is the old man's crime? ”

Innocently spread his hands, seeing that Li Jie's face was dark again, Xiao Lou hurriedly shook his head with a smile and said, "Thank you Your Highness for your mercy, this place is not a place to talk, how about we talk in detail in another place?" ”

"Humph!" Snorted coldly, Li Jie turned around and left arrogantly, smiled helplessly, dragging the indignant Xiao Man, Xiao Lou hurriedly followed, who knew if he didn't step off the stage, seeing that today's protagonist, the hanged 'female' pirate was gone, the audience who was 'wanting' and dissatisfied was immediately angry, and the stinky 'chicken' egg in the sky smashed down on his head and face, and the angry Xiao Man almost exploded, if he hadn't been tied up and didn't have time to untie it, the eldest lady almost stepped forward to beat someone with her teeth and claws.

Seeing the frightened Xiao family following behind them, they also ended up in ashes, I don't know if they were angry or strangled, the faces of the gang of widows turned even redder and purple, but unfortunately even at the last moment, not many people paid attention to them, and they had to sigh that it was really inequality between people.

However, it is better that the Japanese slaves are still dead.

Returned to the palace of the king of Qi, in front of the round negotiation, Li You grinned and tried to make a fierce appearance, Li Jie had a cold face, but the corners of his mouth kept 'pumping' upwards and 'pumping', Xiao Lou on the opposite side was extremely depressed, the 'chicken' egg whites hanging from the white hair were still dripping down little by little, and there were several rotten vegetable leaves hanging on the beautiful bun, Xiao Man was still full of unconvinced angry eyes.

"Okay, Ming people don't say secret words, what price are the Xiao family prepared to pay for the night a few days ago?" The funny scene made Li Jie really can't help it, so he had to open his mouth first, and the old fox Xiao Lou who listened to it immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Your Highness, in the battle of Dengzhou Bay, it seems that our Xiao family has suffered heavy losses."

"If a robber comes to the 'door' to rob and is killed, he is not guilty?" Li Jie snorted coldly again, but he thought strangely in his heart, in my Great Heavenly Empire, killing the robbers who came to the 'gate' seemed to be really guilty!

"If you hadn't used the demon method vilely that night, how could the Xiao family have lost?" Thinking of the embarrassment of that night, Xiao Man couldn't help but shout again, but Li You smiled innocently: "That's not a demon law, that's the ninth brother's ......"

Hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover the mouth of this honest man, Li Jie once again walked forward with cold eyes, stared at Xiao Lou and said: "Not only that, this king kindly sent someone to Jiankang to end this dispute, your family is good, punching and kicking this king's cronies, extremely rude, it seems that the Xiao family is really a big business, and looks down on this king's small 'door' family." ”

This is true, although the Tang Dynasty is prosperous now, many wealthy families in Kanto really look down on the Li family, for no other reason, Li Yuan said that the Li family was born in Longxi is very far-fetched, and the Li family's bloodline is about the general Xianbei bloodline, especially the Jiangnan Shi clan who inherited the legal system since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and they look down on the Li family even more.

However, the world speaks with strength, and without knowing Li Jie's strength and how badly he was defeated in Dengzhou Bay, the head of the Xiao family made a rash decision, seeing that Li Jie's brother's face became 'gloomy' and cold again, Xiao Lou couldn't help but smile bitterly again.

"Of course, the losses of the two highnesses, the Xiao family will compensate, and there are ...... additions"

"If you really think that this king is asking for food, do you really think that this king will not kill people?" Before Xiao Lou finished speaking, Li Jie had already patted the table and stood up, seeing his angry appearance, Xiao Man also patted the table and stood up without showing weakness: "Kill and kill, when Miss Ben is afraid of death, whoever is putting me down this time is not a man!" ”

"Shut up, brute!"

Seeing Li Jie's brain 'door' jumping straight and stretching out his hand to call the guards, Xiao Lou actually broke out in a cold sweat on the 'door' of his brain, and quickly pressed Xiao Man back to the ground, and then pressed down with a smile on his two dry old hands and said: "Your Highness is angry, happy and angry, since Your Highness has the intention of negotiating, it is estimated that it is not to kill one more old man, right?" ”

"To attack my Dengzhou, there must be an explanation, in addition to compensation, this king also needs a confession, which lists in detail how you tried to Dengzhou!" Anyway, when it comes to this, he has the initiative, and Li Jie is not interested in grinding his teeth with this old ghost, so he patted the table and directly tried to see the dagger, but Xiao Lou who listened to it was cold.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Lou suddenly laughed and shook his head, and said slowly in Li Jie's stunned expression: "Your Highness doesn't know the Jiangnan Shi clan." ”

The tense negotiations lasted for a day and a night, and finally Li Jie still got the confession, and at the same time, the Dengzhou government also posted a notice to the people that the few people released today were threatened by the Japanese pirates, and many wolf friends sighed, and paused for not being able to appreciate the last dance of the long-legged beautiful 'woman'.

However, after getting this confession, Li Jie was a little unhappy, on the dock, he said goodbye to Xiao Lou and his party weakly, standing on the bow of the boat that was getting farther and farther away, Xiao Man was still so vigorous, and he waved his fist at Li Jie and shouted: "Damn King Shuo, Miss Ben will never let you go!" ”

Thinking of the future cooperation, it is estimated that many people will 'deal' with this fierce master, Li Jie's face is a little more depressed, and he didn't say anything, he simply waved his hand, and Li You scratched his head helplessly: "Okay, ninth brother, after all, the Lanling Xiao family has also compensated a large amount of grain, and now Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Liaodong are not the most short of food?" ”

"But, why don't you feel like a winner at all?"

Clenching his fists, Li Jie said depressedly again.

On this day, basically the conditions were put forward by Xiao Lou on his own initiative, except for some disputes in this confession, the rest of the requirements that Li Jie came up with were all put forward by this old guy first, such as joining the pirate guild, ordering a batch of Qi ships at Dengzhou Shipyard at five times the price, increasing the grain 'trade' several times, and expanding the commercial 'exchange' flow.

On the other hand, these conditions are a lot more beneficial to the Xiao family, Jiangnan has no shortage of sailors who can drive ships, what the Xiao family lacks is ships, with the supply of Dengzhou shipyard, they will soon return to power, similarly, Jiangnan is not short of food, a large amount of food is just a little hoarding, on the contrary, let them join the pirate guild, it seems to be constrained by Li Jie, in fact, the Xiao family is also involved in the operation of this guild, and the 'shrewd' Xiao family can play a much more role than the brainless pirates.

The reason why he made so many concessions was nothing more than the Xiao family's unique wisdom of decapitation, and if Li Jie did not give in, then the advantages he gained would be lost.

The Xiao family started in Lanling, but after following the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, the first rising Xiao Daocheng destroyed Liu Song and established the Southern Qi regime, and then twenty-three years, because of poor management, Xiao Daocheng became the center of the Jiangnan Kou Punishment, and the rest of the Lanling Xiao family did not hesitate to abandon this branch, and instead supported Xiao Yan, the assassin of Southern Yanzhou, and established the Southern Liang regime again.

Later, although because of Hou Jingzhi's 'chaos', the Southern Liang was destroyed, but after two dynasties, the power of the Xiao family has risen, and the Western Liang regime was established in Jiangling, until Emperor Wen of Sui abolished the Western Liang many years after the destruction of Chen, but the Empress Xiao of Emperor Yang of Sui was still born in Lanling Xiao, and Lanling Xiao is still prominent.

The secret of the success of the Xiao family is nothing more than a weak stem and a strong branch, when the main trunk of the long family falls, the strong branches and leaves will bloom everywhere, and they will re-attach to other strong branches to grow and grow, so when Xiao Liang's Xiao Liang was destroyed by Li Tang, the Lanling Xiao family once again chose Xiao Daocheng, who had been dormant for many years, and even Xiao Ling, the youngest son of Xiao Milling, was not allowed to vote under the 'door'.

In the same way, if Li Jie took advantage of this attack on Dengzhou to control the Xiao family, in the end, he would only get rid of Xiao Daocheng led by Xiao Daoqing, and he would also anger the Jiangnan family, unlike the five Hu 'chaos' Hua in the north and breaking the original 'door' valve system, even if Sui destroyed Chen for so many years, the manor system is still the main body of the Jiangnan economy, and if the self-sufficient Jiangnan family hates Li Jie, Li Jie will not want to buy a grain from Jiangnan in the short term.

"Damn the Jiangnan family, what's this called!" Recalling the aggrieved negotiation, and muttering again, Li Jie pulled Li You boringly and rushed back, just two steps away, there was a sudden plop on the water behind him, and he turned his head in amazement, but Li Ji happened to see Xiao Lou The old fox was extremely angry and jumped to his feet and scolded.

"It can't be that Xiao Man's girl accidentally fell in love with this king, and dived back to meet this king, right?" Pinching his chin, Li Jie muttered narcissistically, and Li You, who listened, immediately put on a look of wanting to vomit, covered his stomach and bent over, and compared his middle finger to him, Li Jie waved his hand behind him again: "Find a few people who know how to water, sneak people back, and see what's going on!" ”

A few hours later, in the Qi Palace, in a villa, Xiao Tengwa spit out the muddy water that choked on his stomach, opened his eyes in a daze, and happened to meet Li Jie with a disappointed face, looking at him and shaking his head, Li Jie said slowly in disappointment: "It's really uninteresting, and it's a stinky old man." ”

"Villain, villain wants to visit King Qi and tell him something." didn't care about the uncomfortable like falling apart, Xiao Teng eagerly turned over and shouted, 'make' Li Jie once again lazily rolled his eyes, waved his hand boringly and said: "The fifth brother of King Qi is busy with the cooperation with your Xiao family, if you have anything to say to this king." ”

"This king? Who are you? The disappointment disappeared in a flash, Xiao Teng asked in shock, still with that lazy look, Li Jie replied slowly: "King Shuo." ”

After hesitating for a moment, after gritting his teeth, Xiao Teng suddenly turned over and jumped off the house, plopped down on his knees and bowed his head and said: "Xiao Teng, the descendant of the Liang Kingdom, greets King Shuo Chitose......"
