"I admire your perseverance and courage!"

In the inner study, Xiao Junling looked at the woman sitting on the sofa opposite, and said calmly:

"At this time, you are still willing to come! Putting aside my position, even I have a hint of admiration for a daughter like you who is willing to do her best to plan for the future of the family! You don't have to bear this heavy responsibility! ”

Li Shuyan's smile was a little bitter: "Maybe!" Although the Li family belongs to a thousand-year-old wealthy family, it has been full of disasters and difficulties in recent decades! Since Li Wanfeng died unexpectedly a few years ago, there is no longer a single adult male among the descendants of this generation of the family, and the next few heirs have fallen one after another......"

"So...... As the first heir in line to the family, who can I give this burden to if I don't take it? ”

Xiao Junling looked at her calmly for a few seconds, and said lightly: "The Li family has fallen to this, what do you think is the reason for this?" ”

"If you don't provoke this terrible opponent of yours! Even though the family will have some trouble, it will not be what it is today! Li Shuyan thought for a moment before answering frankly.

Xiao Junling smiled and said nothing, this eldest lady's words are not unreasonable. If it weren't for her own appearance, then Li Wanfeng wouldn't have died in that hunt at all; The Silent Star Temple will not impose sanctions on the Li family because of their attack on them; The market share of the battleships belonging to the Li family will still not be taken away!

What's more: the military adventure of the expedition to the Biluo Galaxy will not occur at all, and neither the Li family nor their allies will suffer heavy losses because of this, including the three Silent Star War Gods and those important family members will not lose their lives inexplicably!

Of course, the corresponding thing is: Yang Yueqi will be defiled by that scumbag, and even have to become his plaything; Zhou Wenchang may completely lose ground in the political battle. Maybe it will be abandoned by the family. The Zhou Meng sisters have been reduced to tools for political marriages; And the power of the Li family's faction may continue to have a certain advantage in the Great Archon's Council!

What's more. It is possible that Li Jinyin's "sacrificial" plan will be implemented again, resulting in more innocent deaths of the citizens of the empire! The vast number of overseas consular owners are in danger, and their suspicion and dissatisfaction with the central government are becoming more and more serious!

It is impossible to keep such a big thing secret for a long time! If one day, the true intentions of the Empire's top brass are known to the outside world, I am afraid that it will cause a catastrophic impact! The enraged overseas lords may declare their independence from the empire one after another! No one would be foolish enough to remain loyal to a government that wants their own lives all the time!

At that time, if the upper echelons of the empire do not want the country to be divided. You can only choose to sacrifice the entire Li family faction, or fight with these overseas lords! Other human nations and alien civilizations with bad intentions will come and take advantage of the fire! The endless internal friction will greatly weaken the national strength of the empire, and even directly affect the future rise and fall of China's national fortunes!

This is not his personal speculation, but a rigorous conclusion reached after the analysis and deduction of the wise team! The so-called "sacrifice" plan is not only sacrificing the interests of the vast number of overseas lords, but the future fate of the entire human civilization!

On the surface, Li Jinyin's political power proposition is for the long-term plan of the empire, but in fact it is only for his own selfishness!

It's just people doing it, and the sky is watching! Sooner or later, you will have to pay it back! It is not unusual for the head of the Li family to commit such an evil deed of anger and resentment, and it is not uncommon for him to suffer such retribution!

"From the time your uncle and grandfather presented that proposal at the Council of the Great Consuls. He is destined to pay the price for it! Xiao Junling said:

"In this day and age, there is no politician who is not responsible for the crimes he committed! No matter how high his status is, it can't be! Although he himself does not think so! ”

"Even without me. There will be others who will come to pay this blood debt! ”

Li Shuyan nodded silently, closed her eyes slightly, and then stared at him and said:

"Although I know that there is little hope for the Dao, I still plan to work hard for the family! Your Excellency Xiao Junling, if our Li family is willing to hand over the life of the head of the family, as well as all the clansmen of his lineage, I wonder if Lu Dao can make you give up the idea of continuing to take revenge on the family? ”

Xiao Junling was slightly stunned, looked at her expression seriously, and asked, "This is what your family elders mean?" ”

"Yes!" Li Shuyan nodded lightly:

"I am indeed here on behalf of the House Council of Elders! Since Li Jinyin has suffered such a heavy loss to his family, he has no ability to redeem the mistakes he has made! Then he is no longer fit to stay in that position! ”

"So the family elders have decided to depose him as the head of the family and hand him and all the direct clansmen of the line behind him to you! As a proof of sincerity in reconciliation with you! ”

"In addition, the Li family is also willing to hand over a quarter of the property in the family's name to you! As the price of an alliance with you! I wonder if you're satisfied? ”

Xiao Junling was really a little surprised this time! He had already guessed that the high-level officials of the Li family would bleed profusely, but he didn't expect them to come up with such a huge bargaining chip!

As one of the top five behemoths of the Imperial Capital Wealthy Group, the Li family has countless industries inside and outside the Imperial Capital! According to outside estimates, this is a huge amount of wealth equivalent to ten trillion energy points! What's more, some special industrial resources cannot be exchanged for energy points at all!

The last few giants in the first group, all of them have so much family background! In other words, the Li family is equivalent to giving him a top family directly!

"It seems that the determination of the Li Patriarchal Association is not small!" Xiao Junling was silent for a moment before he said slowly:

"After paying such a huge benefit, I wonder what kind of requirements you have?"

Li Shuyan said: "There are four main ones, one of them, we hope to be one of your long-term trade partners like those three, and we can buy the rare metal raw materials needed for the new generation of warships and other main battle equipment in large quantities without restrictions!" ”

"Second, the Temple of the Silent Star has lifted all sanctions against our family; Third, like several other families, we can invest in the Yulan Consortium, and the shareholding ratio refers to the standard of the Zhou family! ”

She looked at Xiao Junling's expression and continued: "At the end of the year, the family hopes to be able to marry you!" In this way, the past suspicion will be released and the two sides will be truly reconciled! ”

As he expected, the conditions were still the same as those proposed before, but the chips taken out by the Li family were unprecedentedly rich!

He lowered his head and silently looked at the natural texture on the rosewood table, and did not make a sound.

The room fell silent for a long time, and the princess of the Li family watched his reaction nervously, and her slender hands subconsciously tightened the cushions on the sofa.

Xiao Junling took the tea cup on the table, took two sips of the already cold tea, and then asked, "Can I ask, who is the next head of the Li family?" ”

Li Shuyan's heart was slightly relieved, and she immediately said: "As long as you are willing to agree to marry me, then I will be the new head of the family!" In the future, the Li family will naturally support you unconditionally in all fields! ”

She hesitated for a moment and continued: "The family elders also said that if you are not satisfied with me, then you can choose as many as you want from the more than twenty daughters of this generation of the family, and you can choose as many as you want!" ”

Xiao Junling glanced at her deeply: "Although the situation of the Li family is difficult today, with the heritage and foundation of a thousand-year-old wealthy family, it is far from the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, right?" Such conditions are indeed a big payment for you now! ”

The princess of the Li family sighed: "That's because you haven't stepped on the peak yet!" In a few years, even if you give the whole family to you, it won't make any difference! ”

He said indifferently: "What if I still don't agree to the settlement? Could it be that the Li family will use this part of the resources to continue their efforts to erase me regardless of the consequences? ”

Li Shu's delicate body shook slightly, bit her lower lip, and was silent for a few seconds before nodding lightly: "That's right!" Although the consequence of this is likely to be the complete destruction of the Li family! But for the sake of the family, we can't sit still! ”

Xiao Junling bowed slightly: "Miss Li Shuyan, you are very honest!" Didn't fool me with some hypocritical words! While I can't give an immediate affirmative answer, I will seriously consider your proposal! ”

"That'...... All right! I will go back and wait and visit next time! Li Shuyan's heart rekindled hope.

…………

A few days later, the Great Sage finally returned to the imperial capital.

"Teacher, are you back?" Xichen Qinglan asked in surprise and joy, "What's wrong with that damn alien?" Did you kill it? ”

The Great Sage shook his head slightly: "If the Doomsday Emperor is so easy to kill, the Civilization Cleanser is not a cause for concern!" ”

Despite the combined siege of the four Guardian Saints of Civilization, and even she used her hole cards to inflict a fatal blow on that guy, she still couldn't completely kill the anomaly, and finally let it break through the shackles and escape! Yu Daier and Dream Coat were also injured!

"This guy is different from the ordinary intelligent beings in the Star Sea World Realm!" The Great Sage said solemnly:

"With enough energy, it could recover faster than we thought! So...... In order to kill it in the future, I am afraid that there will be a bitter battle! ”

Xiao Junling's face changed slightly, he didn't expect this Doomsday Emperor to be so difficult! The four Sages joined forces, which almost concentrated almost all of the high-end strategic power of the two empires!

Next time there is a preparation, will it give them a chance to besiege and kill?

"This is what Akismona entrusted me to give you!" The Great Sage took out a box and handed it to him.

He opened it and saw that it was the set of artifact-level equipment he had worn in the Qingqiu Empire.

“…… In fact, we are most worried about you! She said:

"That guy has suffered a big loss, maybe he will find a way to come to you!"

"......" (To be continued......)
