Time passed slowly, and a few more days passed in the blink of an eye.

Haiyuan City, the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

Fang Xuanling finished reading the information in his hand, and then smiled at Xia Ren and said: "Your Highness, the Yuan family has been impeached by King Wen and King Wu in the court now, presumably the pressure is already great enough, and at this time we should take action to relieve a wave of pressure for him." ”

"If the Yuan family can't bear the pressure and falls to other princes, then the gains outweigh the losses, but King Xuan has not targeted the Yuan family, just waiting to win over the Yuan family!"

Xia Ren said with a smile: "It seems that my third brother is also very uncomfortable to be suppressed! ”

After speaking, he spoke again: "Okay, this king will go to Yuan's house later." ”

Fang Xuanling nodded, then thought for a while, and then spoke: "Your Highness can go to Li's house first, and you can invite Second Master Li to come with you." ”

"Okay, this king will go to Li's house first. ”

After deciding to go to see the Marquis of Dongming, Xia Ren did not delay, and went to the Li family first that day, Xia Ren still knew where Xia Ren was in the peaceful chaos city where the Li family was located, at the junction of Linghai County, Guanhai County and Huamu County.

Guanhai County is still north of Linghai County, while Huamu County is west of Guanhai County.

In general, the four counties that the Li family can influence, among which Linhai County, Linghai County, and Guanhai County are all close to the East China Sea, and only Huamu County is a little farther away, in the west of Guanhai County.

The two counties of the Yuan family are in Linhai County and the west of Linghai County, and they are also handed over to Huamu County.

Pingchao City, Li Mansion.

At this time, Xia Ren had already arrived at the Li Mansion, and Li Tianfu was receiving him personally.

"Haha, I don't know that His Royal Highness King Ni is coming, and Li is not welcome. ”

Xia Ren sat in the living room, and before he could wait for a while, Li Tianfu walked in with steps.

"The head of the Li family is polite, this king came uninvited this time, because he wanted to trouble the head of the Li family. ”

Yes, Li Tianfu is now the head of the Li family, and Li Yuande is no longer in charge of things, unless the decision on the general direction will be made by Li Yuande, and all the other affairs of the Li family are decided by Li Tianfu, so the current head of the Li family is Li Tianfu.

Xia Ren has heard a lot of rumors about Li Tianfu, and what impressed him the most was that when talking to Li Tianfu, don't beat around the bush, go straight to the point, and don't talk to him about anything else after speaking, just leave, otherwise it will be easy to be led crooked by him.

Li Tianfu didn't talk about it this time, as soon as he heard that Xia Ren had something, his face immediately said solemnly: "What is the so-called matter of Your Highness? ”

The Li family has pressed the treasure on Xia Ren, Li Tianfu will not be as cunning as before, at least he must maintain respect in front of Xia Ren, otherwise if Xia Ren succeeds in the future, what will he do if he gives him small shoes.

Xia Ren was not ambiguous, and said directly: "Later, this king will go to the Yuan family, and then he will need to be accompanied by the head of the Li family." ”

Li Tianfu didn't ask why, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Since His Highness asked, then Li will go with His Highness." ”

Xia Ren nodded and didn't say anything more.

Then the two of them took a few guards directly to Dongming City, where the Yuan family was located.

Coming to the gate of Dongming City, Xia Ren was a little surprised, this Dongming City was much smaller than the Li family's peaceful city, and even the Sun family's peaceful city was not comparable.

may have seen Xia Ren's doubts, and Li Tianfu next to him explained with a smile: "Your Highness, the Yuan family's Dongming City was not here before, and later because the family was in the middle of the road, the Yuan family moved here and rebuilt a Dongming City, so it is relatively small."

I see! Xia Ren nodded, didn't pay any more attention, and went directly into the city with Li Tianfu.

After entering the city, Li Tianfu took Xia Ren directly to Yuan's mansion, Li Tianfu had been here, the Li family and the Yuan family bordered, and the two families often had some business contacts, so they didn't run less.

However, Yuan Dongqing dislikes Li Tianfu more, thinking that he is a treacherous villain who always takes advantage of the Yuan family, if he doesn't have other partners, he won't do business with Li Tianfu if he is killed.

When he came to the gate of Yuan's mansion, the gatekeeper saw that it was Li Tianfu, and immediately said respectfully: "Lord Li, please inside, I will go and inform Master Hou." ”

Li Tianfu nodded, stood aside, and made a gesture of invitation inside, letting Xia Ren go in first, but Xia Ren was not polite, and took the lead in stepping in.

The little guy who led the way in front caught a glimpse of this scene, and was immediately shocked, he knew Li Tianfu's identity, and now he was so respectful to the young man on the side.

But he didn't dare to think about it, so he quickly lowered his head and took Xia Ren and them all the way to the living room.

At this time, Yuan Dongqing was drinking tea in his yard, but he was not in a hurry about the current situation at all.

Yuan Donggui on the side was in a hurry, "Big brother, how can you still be in the mood to drink tea! Now that there are more and more people impeaching us, if we don't think of a way, I'm afraid that the imperial court will really send someone to investigate our Yuan family, although our Yuan family is innocent, but then the face will be gone." ”

Yuan Dongqing glanced at his second brother and said lightly: "What's the hurry, if it really doesn't work, just find a prince to take refuge when the time comes." ”

"But, isn't our Yuan family not involved?"

"That was before, now we have fallen into the quagmire, we can't do it without participation, since we can't struggle, it's better to participate, it's the same as life, instead of struggling, it's better to enjoy. ”

Yuan Donggui suddenly said urgently: "Big brother, how can you be so depraved, we...."

Just when Yuan Donggui was about to make a tirade, a guard ran over and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, the head of the Li family is here." ”

"Li Tianfu?"

"Yes. ”

Yuan Dongqing was a little puzzled and said, "What is Li Erfat doing here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked the guard, "Is Li Erpang here alone?"

The guard thought for a moment and replied, "It seems that the head of the Li family also brought a young man who looks like a son-in-law. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Dongqing smiled slightly, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, the person he was waiting for had finally arrived, and it was really time!

Then he smiled at Yuan Donggui on the side: "Second brother, go, come with me to meet Li Erfat." ”

After speaking, he showed a mysterious smile and said, "By the way, I will meet the mastermind behind the drag of my Yuan family into the water." ”

When Yuan Donggui heard this, he immediately said angrily: "What? The mastermind behind the scenes is actually here? It has something to do with Li Erfat? ”

After saying that, he angrily went to find the axe.

Yuan Dongqing pulled him and said with a wry smile: "Don't be impulsive, this identity is not something that our Yuan family can offend, you just listen to it when the time comes, don't interject in anything, no matter what you hear, you know?"

After speaking, he looked at Yuan Donggui with a serious face.

Yuan Donggui looked at his eldest brother's serious expression, so he had no choice but to nod, but his expression was still a little different.

When the two brothers of the Yuan family came to the living room, they saw Li Tianfu talking to a young man from a distance, Yuan Dongqing's eyes narrowed, and he immediately quickened his pace and walked over.

Before anyone arrived, the sound came first.

"Haha, Erfat! What kind of wind blew you here? Is there any good business you want to introduce to my Yuan family? My Yuan family can't afford it!"

Li Tianfu, who was talking to Xia Ren, suddenly turned black when he heard Yuan Dongqing's words, and shouted: "Yuan Dongqing, don't give people nicknames, obviously your Yuan Donggui is the second fat, don't slander me all day long." ”

Yuan Donggui, who was following behind, also had a dark face, and glared at Li Tianfu, but he didn't speak, he still remembered his eldest brother's words, and he didn't say anything.

Li Tianfu also ignored Yuan Donggui, he knew why he was glaring at him, but today he is here to solve this matter.

Then Li Tianfu smiled at Yuan Dongqing and said, "Okay, let's not mention our business, today I am here to introduce a distinguished guest to you, Master Hou." ”

After speaking, he bowed to Xia Ren and said: "This is His Royal Highness King Ren today, and now the fief is in Linhai County, His Royal Highness King Ren and my Li family have some affection, and I heard that the Yuan family and the Li family have a good relationship, so I came to visit this time." ”

Yuan Dongqing was suddenly 'shocked' and said: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Ren, the old man has lost his welcome, and he hopes to forgive his sins." ”

Xia Ren looked at Yuan Dongqing, how could he feel that this person was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, he just smiled and said: "Dongming Hou doesn't have to be polite, this king also came to visit with the head of the Li family this time, after all, this king's fief is also not far away, so it should be a little bit of a walk." ”

After Xia Ren finished speaking, he was ready to wait for Yuan Dongqing to continue to say a few polite words, but he didn't know that Yuan Dongqing suddenly didn't answer, just looked at him with a smile.

The living room was quiet for a while, Yuan Dongqing still didn't speak, Li Tianfu looked left and right, and it was not easy to speak, after all, this matter had to be done by His Royal Highness Renwang himself.

After a while, Xia Ren coughed and said with a smile: "This king heard that the Yuan family seems to have caused some trouble during this time?

Yuan Dongqing glanced at Xia Ren, and then said with a sad face: "Indeed, my Yuan family doesn't know which one was treacherous... Ahem... Which unknown force has been framed, saying that my Yuan family actually took refuge in a certain prince and pulled my Yuan family into the water, and now my Yuan family is being targeted everywhere in the court, and this life is not easy!"

Xia Ren suddenly smiled and said: "Don't panic this Hou Ye, since this king and Hou Ye are neighbors, then he has the obligation to help Hou Ye, and when he goes back, this king will write a letter to intercede for Hou Ye, if this king is not enough alone, when the time comes, the Li family and the Sun family will help Hou Ye, and I believe that they will help Hou Ye get through the difficulties." ”

After speaking, perhaps afraid that the deterrent power would not be enough, Xia Ren chuckled again: "If it doesn't work, this king can let the generals of the four major legions of the Dragon Chasing Legion, the Heavenly Tiger Legion, the Eagle Legion, and the Benlei Legion write to intercede for the Hou Ye." ”

Yuan Dongqing was stunned after hearing this, what are you doing?

Then he hurriedly said with a grateful face: "Then Your Highness, Your Highness, the Yuan family must be grateful." ”

After speaking, he was a little puzzled: "Your Highness and the four generals know each other?"

Xia Ren smiled faintly and said: "I know, I'm not too familiar, I just saved the lives of the four of them, oh, by the way, the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the four major legions were also saved by this king, and the safety of tens of millions of people in Nanban Prefecture also has a little credit from this king." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and said: "Actually, they are all small things, but the four generals have to repay the favor, saying that if the king has something to do in the future, they will do their best to help, and the king sees that they are sincere, so they did not refuse." ”

Belch...

At this time, Yuan Dongqing was stunned, not only Yuan Dongqing, but even Li Tianfu on the side was stunned, thinking, it turns out that His Royal Highness King Ren is so don't... Don't do that!

Looking at the stunned crowd on the spot, Xia Ren frowned, "Could it be that I didn't pretend well?

The scene was silent for a while, and Yuan Dongqing coughed and said, "Could it be that the problem of the barbarian invasion was solved by His Highness?"

This time, Xia Ren didn't want to deliberately pretend to be forced, but just smiled: "Yes, there are still hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under the command of this king, and they entered the territory of the barbarians, killed millions of barbarians, and cut off logistics, so the barbarian army had to retreat." ”

After hearing this, Yuan Dongqing's pupils shrank, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, but he didn't doubt it, after all, it was a fact that the barbarian army retreated, and if the Yuan family and King Ren were tied together at that time, it would be easy to distinguish the truth from the falsehood.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Dongqing said in a deep voice: "Can Your Highness stay one more night, and Yuan will give His Highness an answer tomorrow?"

"Yes, then the king will stay here tonight. ”

Afterwards, Yuan Dongqing arranged for someone to take Xia Ren to the VIP room to rest.
