Ruan Yan squinted his eyes and stared at Li Yuntian, whose expression had changed drastically, and a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.

The reason why Li Li suddenly rejected General Dingnan's proposal was Ruan Yan's arrangement, and its purpose was to catch Li Yuntian off guard, and only in this way would Li Yuntian inadvertently reveal his true psychological reaction.

At this moment, the shock expressed by Li Yuntian has virtually confirmed the authenticity of the information provided by Deputy Envoy Li, otherwise Li Yuntian would refute it-for-tat even if he did not brush his sleeves away, instead of showing such a gaffe.

"Inspector Li, you have to think clearly, when my Ming 100,000 Xiaowu army arrives, Jiaozhi will definitely be bleeding." Soon, Li Yuntian seemed to realize his gaffe, so he sneered and looked at Li Li with an expressionless face, "Don't forget, after the armies of Nanzhang, Zhenla and Zhancheng join the battle, Jiaozhi will be divided into four and will no longer exist." ”

"Lord Mu, if my Jiaozhi soldiers and civilians are afraid of death, they will not revolt against the intrusion of your Ming Court, even if Jiaozhi is divided, this king believes that one day someone will unite it again!"

Seeing that Li Yuntian became annoyed and angry, Li Li suddenly laughed, he knew that Li Yuntian was a sign of weakness, so he replied sternly.

"Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, since Inspector Li insists on doing so, then there is no need for this official to stay here, and all the consequences must be taken care of by Inspector Li." Li Yuntian's face began to turn pale when he heard this, and he stood up under Ruan Yan's gaze, and left without looking back after coldly warning Li Li.

"Mr. Ruan, what do you think?" Waiting for Li Yuntian to walk out of the tavern, Li Li asked Ruan Yan with a smile, Li Yuntian's expression just now was just a reflection of Li Yuntian's weakness.

"Lord Wang, from this point of view, General Dingnan really only brought thousands of Xiaowu troops to Jiaozhi this time." Ruan Yan pondered for a moment and replied with a smile, "According to the lower officials, Lord Mu will not leave Xiaohe Town, otherwise he will not be able to communicate with General Dingnan!" ”

"This king thinks the same way, and this king is waiting for him to take the initiative to come to the door." Li Li smiled and nodded, he was now sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, waiting for Li Yuntian to take the bait.

Subsequently, Li Li beckoned Ruan Yan to drink, this table of wine and food was carefully prepared by him for Li Yuntian, how could it be wasted, it happened to be a celebration banquet for him and Ruan Yan today, during the banquet, the two of them were staggered, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

At the same time, Li Yuntian sat in the marching carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, and after going through a lot of hardships, Li Li and Ruan Yan finally fell into the trap he designed, so that the next step would be much easier, nothing more than the two sides bargaining in the negotiations, and finally negotiating a safe way to ensure the interests of both parties.

As long as the negotiations in Xiaohe Town can be completed smoothly, then Jiaozhi will be calm in the coming year, and not only can the Ming army get a rare time to recuperate, but he can also use this time to sort out the government affairs of the various state capitals controlled by the Ming army in Jiaozhi.

In Li Yuntian's view, in order to quell the rebellion in Jiaozhi, it is necessary to appease the people of Jiaozhi, and the biggest problem facing the people of Jiaozhi now is poverty, so he will use this problem to find a way to improve the lives of the people, and then compete with Li Li for the hearts of the people.

As long as the hearts of the people of Jiaozhi are towards the Ming Dynasty, then Li Li will no longer be able to be like a fish in water in Jiaozhi, and those people's hearts will form an invisible net to wrap him firmly in it.

After returning to his residence in Xiaohe Town, Li Yuntian angrily asked the twelve native soldiers waiting there to pack up their salutes and return to Sanjiang City with him.

"Brother Fan, are you leaving?" Wu Qian didn't go out to socialize today because she was a little unwell, and she was resting at home, and when she saw Li Yuntian standing in the backyard with an angry face, she couldn't help but step forward curiously to investigate.

You and Li Yuntian used the pseudonym "Fan Yong" for Wu Qian, so Wu Qian called him "Fan Gongzi".

"Miss Wu, listen to the next persuasion, leave here and go back to Hue Mansion immediately, otherwise you won't be able to leave when you want to." Li Yuntian couldn't help but have an idea when he heard this, and deliberately said in a loud voice, telling the surrounding subordinates and Yahuan, these subordinates and Yahuan were obviously arranged by Li Li to monitor him.

"Brother Fan, what's going on?" Wu Qian was slightly stunned when she heard this, and asked suspiciously, she felt that Li Yuntian's love today was very wrong.

"Miss Wu, if you can trust you, go back to Hue Mansion immediately, the situation here is much more complicated than you imagined." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment and said meaningfully.

"Where are you going?" At this moment, Wu Qian suddenly realized that something big might happen in Anliang County, and at the same time realized that Li Yuntian's identity was not simple, so he subconsciously asked.

"Three rivers city!" Li Yuntian didn't think about it when he heard this, blurted out his destination, and then realized what he had and hurriedly changed his words, adding, "Guangxi, east of Sanjiang City, has some business to take care of in Guangxi. ”

Wu Qian was slightly stunned at first, and then her eyes couldn't help but light up, it was obvious that Li Yuntian's words behind him were trying to cover up, could it be that Li Yuntian had something to do with the Ming army.

"It's not early, I'm still in a hurry, and there will be a period later." Li Yuntian seemed to realize that he had just said something wrong, and at this time, the native soldiers had already packed up and saluted, so he arched his hand to Wu Qian and led the native soldiers to stride towards the backyard door.

"Wait a minute." Wu Qian's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and then she made up her mind in her heart, trotted to catch up with Li Yuntian who walked to the door, and said to him, "Brother Fan, I don't know if it is convenient for Brother Fan to take him to Taiyuan City." ”

"Now that the Jiaozhi soldiers are in chaos, if you go back to Hue Mansion, it is not safe on the road, it is better to go to Taiyuan City to join your uncle." Li Yuntian groaned when he heard this, and nodded to Wu Qian.

"Thank you, Brother Fan." Wu Qian couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw Li Yuntian agree, and after arching her hand to Li Yuntian, she beckoned her entourage to pack up.

"Mu ...... Brother Fan, are you leaving here? Just as Wu Qian's entourage was packing up, Cai Fu hurried back from outside and asked Li Yuntian who was standing at the door of the backyard with an expressionless face on his face anxiously.

Originally, he wanted to call Li Yuntian "Master Mu", but when he saw Wu Qian standing next to Li Yuntian, he swallowed the words that came to his lips and changed his name to Li Yuntian.

Cai Fu invited several rebel officials and generals to get together at noon, and he was the best at this kind of gang-forming thing, but when he was halfway through the wine, he learned that Li Yuntian was going to leave Xiaohe Town, and hurriedly rushed to investigate.

If Cai Fu remembered correctly, Li Yuntian was fine before going to Li Li's banquet at noon, how could it change in less than one meal.

"I'm going to go back, Lord Cai, take care, we'll have a date later." Li Yuntian arched his hand towards Cai Fu with a stern expression.

When Cai Fu heard this, he immediately understood what was going on, and his heart suddenly became cold, and his face became a little pale, it seemed that Li Yuntian and Li Li had collapsed, so how could he still make meritorious contributions, wouldn't the things that General Dingnan promised him be in vain?

"Lord Cai, thank you for your hospitality here, but I don't like to owe favors to others, and when we meet again one day, I will treat you well!" Li Yuntian saw Cai Fu's expression change suddenly, knowing that he was worried about the promise he had made to him, so he said quietly, especially accentuating the pronunciation on the latter "hospitality".

"It's not enough to raise your hands." Hearing this, Cai Fu was slightly stunned, and then reacted, Li Yuntian wanted him to feel at ease, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but this courtyard was full of people sent by Li Li to spy on Li Yuntian, and he didn't dare to say anything unusual, so he replied with a smile, and deliberately showed an embarrassed look on his face.

After Wu Qian's entourage packed up and saluted, Li Yuntian led everyone to ride on horses and galloped out of Xiaohe Town.

Ruan Yan seemed to have expected that the annoyed and angry Li Yuntian would leave, so he arranged more than a dozen rebel cavalry at the entrance of the town to escort them through the rebels' defense area, making it clear that Li Yuntian was determined to fight to the death.

After galloping for more than ten miles on the road, Li Yuntian, who was in the lead, suddenly slowed down his riding speed, which made the people who followed behind him slow down one after another.

This made Wu Qian, who was not far behind Li Yuntian, feel a little strange, and when she looked up, she saw Li Yuntian frowning, looking preoccupied, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Miss Wu, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, and I want to go back to Xiaohe Town, but don't worry, I will have someone send you to Taiyuan City." Finally, under Wu Qianhu's suspicious gaze, Li Yuntian stopped pulling the reins of the horse, turned around and said to her with a stern expression.

"Fan Gongzi, the road is not smooth now, let's go together, and take care of each other." Wu Qian's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, just now Li Yuntian was in a hurry to leave, but why did she have to go back now, but she didn't have time to think about it, she smiled and politely declined Li Yuntian's offer.

After experiencing today's bizarre incident, Wu Qian had doubts about Li Yuntian's identity: if Li Yuntian was really a businessman's son, how could he come and go freely in the defense areas of the Ming army and the rebel army? And can someone send her to Taiyuan City?

Therefore, before figuring out Li Yuntian's true and true background, Wu Qian did not dare to act rashly, so as not to cause trouble.

"In that case, let's go to Little River Town together." Li Yuntian saw Wu Qian's eyes flickering, and understood that she was wary of herself, so she had to reluctantly agree, after all, the most important thing now was to negotiate with Li Li, and he didn't want to get into trouble.

Then, Li Yuntian turned the horse's head, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and led Wu Qian and the others back to Xiaohe Town in a hurry.

The reason why Li Yuntian left Xiaohe Town first and then turned back was naturally for Li Li and Ruan Yan to see, the purpose was to confuse the two of them, making them mistakenly think that they had no other way out than to negotiate with them now, so that they could have an advantage in the negotiations.
