80. Find the wrong person
Leng Huo pulled over the chair and sat down, and said lightly: "Baron Li Xuan doesn't have to be presumptuous, just because you can talk to me here now, you are fully qualified to cooperate with me." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Li Xuan waved his hand and motioned for Geroy to go down first, and then sat opposite Leng Huo with a smile on his face, at this time, he had completely let down his guard, he was already convinced in his heart that Leng Huo's purpose this time was to seek cooperation with him, not to deal with him or Geroi, because the other party has absolute force, there is no need to play any conspiracy in front of him, if it is unfavorable to him, just do it directly, whether it is him or his subordinates, no one can resist the other party at all.
Leng Huo saw Li Xuan let down his guard and sat in front of him, his ice-like face finally showed a hint of appreciation, but he quickly returned to his indifferent appearance, he looked at Li Xuan and continued: "Actually, it is more appropriate to say that I am not so much looking for Baron Li Xuan to cooperate with you as to make a deal with you, the content of the transaction is very simple, you help me and Lato take revenge, and Lato and I will swear allegiance to you after you avenge us." β
"Revenge?" Li Xuan looked at Leng Huo with a little surprise, and then shook his head helplessly, he didn't know who the enemy of the other party was, but he knew one thing, that is, their enemy belonged to the Berwick family, although he didn't know what status that person had in the Berwick family, but the Berwick family, as one of the top four families in the Dragon God Empire, even if it was a person who had no status in their family, it was not something that Li Xuan could provoke now.
"Mr. Cold Fire, I'm just a little baron, let alone a behemoth like the Berwick family, even an ordinary small family is not something I can provoke now, I wonder if Mr. Cold Fire is looking for the wrong person. Li Xuan said with a wry smile.
Leng Huo seemed to have expected Li Xuan to say this, he said unhurriedly: "I heard my eldest brother say something about Baron Li Xuan, you seem to know not only Master Roger, but also a scroll master named Mabel, and the relationship seems to be very good, in addition, you seem to be a Templar Knight, it can be seen that you are also highly valued by the Holy Empire royal family, with these relationships, I think it will not be long before Baron Li Xuan will definitely reach a height that ordinary people can't reach." β
"Thanks to Mr. Ji's good words, but we all know that the development of any force takes time, and it cannot be achieved overnight, so it is impossible for me to develop a force that can compete with the Berwick family in a short period of time, even if I have a lot of support behind me. "Now that Lato has told Leng Huo everything about him, he has nothing to hide, but even if he has a lot of backing him, it is impossible to reach the point where he can provoke the Berwick family in the short term.
He didn't care at all about Li Xuan's words, he stretched out a hand, and then said lightly: "I've waited for so many years and don't care about waiting for a few more years, but I don't want to wait endlessly, five years, I can give you five years, and in these five years, Lato and I will also try our best to assist you, as long as you avenge us within five years, Lato and I will swear allegiance to you according to the agreement." β
From the beginning to the end, the expression on Leng Huo's face basically did not change, so Li Xuan was not easy to judge the other party's inner thoughts, but letting him develop for five years to compete with the Berwick family was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, he shook his head without hesitation and refused: "Mr. Leng Huo, forgive me for not agreeing to your request, such a family that has developed for thousands of years has a profound heritage that is difficult for us to guess, do you think that I can compete with it in just five years of development? You also think too highly of me." β
Hearing Li Xuan's unhesitating refusal, Leng Huo's face became a little ugly, but he could only hold back his anger, because he also knew what Li Xuan said that the reason why he came to Li Xuan today was precisely because he knew some of the deep forces of the Beric family from Lato.
Originally, he thought that it would not be easy to kill a person desperately with the power he had developed over the years, but after listening to Lato's words, he realized how naΓ―ve he was, and the heritage of those families that had developed for thousands of years was not something they could speculate.
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but be discouraged, he knew in his heart that now it was tantamount to a fool's dream to take revenge on his own, so he had to rely on the power of others, but those forces that could compete with the Berwick family would not fight with the Berwick family because of such a small person, but the general forces would never be able to compete with the Berwick family, and in desperation, he could only put the bet on Li Xuan, compared to some small forces, Li Xuan still had a great development prospectγ
"Then how many years does Baron Li Xuan think is appropriate?"
Although Leng Huo tried his best to control it, Li Xuan still heard a trace of anger from the other party's words, but he didn't care, he knew very well in his heart now that the other party valued his potential value and was ready to borrow his hand to take revenge, so he was absolutely safe before avenging the other party, because it was almost impossible for the other party to find a second person with potential like him.
"Ten years!" As soon as Li Xuan's words came out, he heard a "click", and a wooden board on the edge of the stool where Leng Huo was sitting was broken off by him, Li Xuan continued disappreciably: "Mr. Leng Huo is not in a hurry after listening to my words, ten years is just for the sake of safety, if I develop well in the next few years, maybe I will take revenge for you in two or three years, of course, all this is under the premise of my good development, but now there are very few people available under my hands, so I hope that Mr. Leng Huo can assist me wholeheartedly as you say." β
"That's natural, although I'm just a killer, but in terms of credibility, Baron Li Xuan can rest assured, I will do what I say. Leng Huo assured with a serious face.
Li Xuan nodded in agreement: "I believe in Mr. Cold Fire, then from now on, I hope that Mr. Cold Fire can assist Master Geroy very well and help him build my territory better, so that my territory can grow in a short period of time." β
"Yes, my lord. Leng Huo stood up and responded very respectfully.
Looking at the cold fire that had become extremely respectful, Li Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. Cold Fire go find Master Geroy, the development of the territory in the future depends on the two of you, I believe that my territory will definitely be able to develop rapidly with your joint efforts." β
After Leng Huo's figure completely submerged in the passage, the smile on Li Xuan's face gradually converged, although Leng Huo was very respectful just now, but the more this is the case, the more worried Li Xuan is, such a person who can endure it, if he can't absolutely control it in his hand, it will be like a bomb that may explode at any time, I don't know when he will explode next to you, Li Xuan will never allow such an unstable factor to exist around him, he must find a way to completely control Leng Huo in his hands.
The construction of the territory has always been an extremely complex and time-consuming thing, the general territory to develop, human, material and financial resources are indispensable, but Rao is these are complete, the territory often takes a few years to begin to take shape, more than ten years to get a little better, the development of dozens or even hundreds of years, the territory can gradually prosper, if something happens in the middle, then the time of the prosperity may be postponed indefinitely.
Li Xuan has been the shopkeeper since the first day of his tenure, and the development of the 'V' valley has been handed over to Geralo, although with Li Xuan's rich financial support, there is an absolute guarantee of financial and material resources, and he doesn't need to worry about anything, but in terms of manpower, it makes him miserable.
Although there are those slaves bought by Li Xuan and the hundreds of villagers in the original valley in the valley, those slaves don't need to talk about him, except for some brute force that can make them work as coolies, don't think about letting them come up with any ideas together. And although some of the villagers in the valley are quite capable and can help him come up with ideas and direct the work of those slaves, in order to prevent the leakage of the magic crystal ore vein, Geroy only let those people be responsible for the affairs in the valley, as long as there is contact with the outside of the valley, he still has to do it himself.
After more than a week of busyness, Geroy felt that he had lost a few pounds, but after paying so much, the effect was still very significant, and the whole valley no longer had the dirty and messy feeling that he gave people when he first came, and the whole had been clearly divided into five areas according to his plan: the forbidden land near the mine in the innermost part of the valley, the reserved land of the lord's mansion bordering the forbidden land, the living and residential area in the north of the valley, the entertainment and consumption area in the south of the valley, and the land reserved for future development.
"Hey, Tolda, I'm suffocating in this valley all day, let's sneak out and play!"
The young man named Tolda carefully closed the yellowed book in his hand, glanced at the young man sitting next to him, a trace of throbbing flashed on his face, it was obvious that he was also very moved by the proposal of the young man next to him, but in the end he still shook his head and refused: " I still don't go out, Grand Butler Geroy told us not to go out of the valley, we killed Viscount Sdrak's men, if we go out we will be in danger, I'll just read a book here, Zacharin, don't go out, if the Grand Butler knows that he will be unhappy, you can also go to the Grand Butler to borrow some books to read, these books are interesting!"
The boy named Zachary pouted and said, "Hmph, what's so good about books." The more the chief butler refuses to let me out, the more I have to go out, and in the past, when those devils were there, they restricted our freedom, and now the chief butler also restricts our freedom, which is not the same as those devils...... Woo, Tolda, what are you doing. β
