Chapter 521: Intimidation and blackmail
Li Shimin's breathing was short, and his lips were dry. www.biquge.info He first looked at Ying Chong, and then at Yu Yunxian beside Ying Chong, and at Ying Yue'er, whose strength was unknown.
I have to say that the situation in front of him is extremely unfavorable for him. The three people in front of him, no matter which one of them had the combat power above the pillar country, was an opponent he had to go all out to resist.
And after the three of them join forces, he is armed with an artifact, and he may not be able to retreat from this period.
He didn't expect that after he sealed the artifact spirit in that way, he would still be able to induce another artifact.
"Why does King Wu'an need to pretend like this? If His Highness really wants to kill people and seize treasures, he should have done it a long time ago, so why do you need to talk nonsense with Zaixia?"
Locked by three strong and domineering forces, full of murderous intentions, the fighting spirit and sharpness in Li Shimin's eyes were stronger than before: "Your Highness is really sure that he can kill people before he speaks?" and if he dies here, how should King Wu'an explain to the Great Qin Court and the Li family?"
It's easy for the other person to take his artifact. But the problem is the follow-up finish. Once Ying Chong also exposes the artifact in his body, he will definitely become the target of public criticism.
Ying Chong tilted his head, and the corners of his lips were slightly evil: "Yes? But even if it is exposed, what will it be? What is the fear of this king who has two artifacts in his hand? If the Qin court wants to persecute too much, then what does it matter if the king reverses! Guess in the end, it will be this king who wins, or Qin court will exterminate my Wu'an Ying clan?"
Li Shimin snorted softly, knowing the implicit meaning of Ying Chong's words.
Once you do it today, you will be dead. But the person on the other side may not die. Even if you want to die, it won't be now.
Ying Chong, who has two artifacts in his hand, may really have the possibility of overthrowing the Qin court. He knew the power of his own artifact best. And presumably the one in the hand of the opposite person is not much worse. Even stronger -
After thinking about it carefully, Li Shimin said with a smile: "Taixue Master, Yinggao, Yue Qingcheng, Mi Chaotian, Western Emperor, Baiyun Jiuzhen, Bright God Sect." If you want to talk about the situation, it seems that His Highness is not much better than the people?"
"But after all, there is still a chance, right? If this king raises the banner of rebellion, the master of Taixue and the Western Emperor may not be the enemy of Lonely. β
Ying Chong opened his eyes and said nonsense, his eyes were aggressive: "Do you know that this king does not do it at this time, is he not waiting for a better time to come?
Li Shimin's heart sank slightly, his eyes looked around, and then he noticed that not far away, there was an old man with a white face and no beard, who was walking in this direction.
He recognized this person, it was Zhang Chengye, Yingchong's chief attendant!
I don't know if it's a coincidence, the leylines under his feet suddenly burst into turmoil and distortion. This made Li Shimin's eyes change slightly, and his face turned blue.
This 'turmoil' can be called intense. Even he, who has no foundation in the occult law, can also sense it clearly.
Li Shimin instinctively thought, is this Yingchong, what to do to him with the help of the defensive magic circle of Songyang Academy?
Ying Chong's expression moved slightly, and he glanced to the north, and then withdrew his gaze. knows that most of the movements below should originate from Guo Jia.
It was so strong that even the sea of clouds and light could not be suppressed, presumably it was Guo Jia, who had truly broken through to the Xuantian realm. And then, it will also enter the most critical moment.
Can Guo Jia stand firm in this realm? Can he cultivate the Returning Heaven Law to the Three Realms, so that he can return to his roots and set things right?
was worried in his heart, but Ying Chong's face was not shown at all, and he was still murderous.
"Don't hide it from His Royal Highness King Wu'an, among the twelve artifacts in his hands, the offense and defense can be among the top! And the power of the artifact, His Highness is also aware of it. β
Although Li Shimin said this, he had the intention of being soft: "Your Highness may be able to make an offer, how can you let Li go?"
He had already seen that such intimidation on the other side was nothing more than an attempt to extort money from him. The problem is that he really doesn't have many chips now, and he can't take the risk of turning his face with the other party.
Originally, the forces of the two sides were already disproportionate. But now he is on the other party's territory again. At this time, the situation could not allow him not to bow his head.
When Ying Chong heard this, his eyes flickered and he hesitated slightly.
He wasn't sure if this guy was bluffing or not. Changing to an artifact like Fu Xiqin, Ying Chong naturally has to retreat. can be replaced by a few others, but Ying Chong doesn't have such scruples, such as his own 'Evil Sakura', or 'God List', the former he only discovered the ability of 'strengthening', 'Heroic Spirit' and 'Innovation', while the latter only has 'Sealing God' and 'Fighting God', and his own combat power is actually not high.
However, although he could not confirm it, he could get hints from Yue'er. This girl, although she looks fierce and vicious at this time, is actually 'merciful' and did not let Xiaoxiao join in.
Ying Chong didn't need to ask, he knew that most of Li Shimin's words were true. Among the twelve artifacts, there are only two or three artifacts that can do both offense and defense.
"In your hands, but the human emperor's seal?"
The seal of the emperor is the seal of Kongtong, which is the seal used by the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, and the Xuanyuan sword is a symbol of humanity, and the royal family is orthodox.
Ying Chong saw that Li Shimin's eyes changed slightly, and he knew that his guess was eight or nine.
Although this guy has been able to deal with it calmly until now, trying to keep his mood out of the way. But the change in mood just a moment still revealed the true intention of this person.
In addition, Ying Chong can also get hints from Yue'er. The girl has not reacted, nor has she made any special moves, most likely agreeing with his guess.
Since Li Shimin's hand is really the 'Human Emperor Seal', then he is really not sure that he will take it down before Li Shimin speaks. It's not that you can't fight, it's that the movement is too big.
But then Ying Chong fell into hesitation again, thinking about what benefits he could get from Li Shimin's hands?
Fang Cai's various actions were just that he instinctively wanted to blackmail. But what exactly to extort from this person, Ying Chong couldn't think about it.
Is it gold? or talent?
Li Shimin is not even the prince of Tang Guo, so how much can he give him? Now he can no longer look down on the hundreds of thousands of gold. As for talents, characters like Qin Qiong and Li Cunxiao, he doesn't believe that Li Shimin can be the master.
But if it's so simple to let this guy go, Ying Chong is unwilling.
Thinking about it carefully, after just a moment, Ying Chong's heart moved slightly: "It's not impossible to let you go this time." But Li Gongzi needs to make an oath and use your artifact to shoot for this king three times. β
Li Shimin did not hesitate at all: "Yes! But it needs to be limited to ten years." And His Royal Highness also needs to swear that during these ten years, within the Qin Realm, everyone in the Wu'an Royal Mansion will not be allowed to make a move against him!"
Ying Chong smiled, and then pondered the other conditions. But before he could come up with a result, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Actually, there is still news here, which may be used to redeem himself." β
Ying Chong said 'huh' and looked at the other side with an inquiring look in his eyes.
"Your Highness, the people of the world don't know what your artifact looks like. But in my seal, there's something called the 'Quest Panel'. And not long ago, when I met His Highness for the first time, Kongtong Yin issued a mission to His Highness, "
Looking at Ying Chong's slightly stunned look, the corners of Li Shimin's lips were slightly raised, and he felt that he had finally regained some of the upper hand.
Before, the people of the world thought that His Highness was really transformed by some evil demon, or that he had practiced some evil law that could not be allowed to be in the world, but he never thought about the owner of the artifact. But now it seems that there is another reason! So I thought again, what will happen to the other owners of the artifact if I am like this here? Do you also regard Your Highness as an evil demon and will want to get rid of it as soon as possible?"

When Li Shimin left, Ying Chong sat in place, unable to calm down for a long time.
"It turned out to be a Mithril business in the Western Regionsβ"
In short, it was the Li family who discovered a Mithril mine in their own territory and wanted to sell it to the Western Regions.
Mithril is not used much in the Eastern Cultivation Realm, but in the Taixi Region, it is extremely sought-after.
But now the business between Qin and Zhao is not under the control of the Li family, and the Li family does not want his own lifeline to be pinched in the hands of political enemies in the country.
So there was a scene where Li Shimin came to the door, saying that he came to clear Li Yuanji's 'grievances', but in fact, this was just incidental.
Naturally, if this matter is really to be agreed, Li Shimin's weight is still too light. This one is only in charge of testing his intentions. After that, someone from the Li clan will come and discuss the details with him.
"Then the Li family is a good calculation!"
Yu Yunxian was beside him, and sneered coldly: "This business is done, and the Wu'an Royal Mansion only has an annual income of six million gold at most, but the Li family's annual income is 40 million gold." And your Wu'an Palace, you have to contribute people to protect the business road for them, and become a thorn in the side of the Lu family and the Ma family. Even the royal family of Zhao will regard you as a great enemy. β
"Indeed, six million gold a year is too little, but fourteen million can still be considered. β
Ying Chong also thought so, knowing that once he agreed to enter the game, then the Wu'an Mansion would become the target of public criticism. The Lu clan and the Ma clan, as well as a group of people who are interested in this business, can't attack the powerful Li family, so they can only turn their targets to his Wu'an Palace.
And in order for him to maintain this trade route outside the Saiwai without mistakes, he must maintain a guard of 20,000 people per year, as well as at least four strong people at the town and state level, and hire at least forty heavenly positions of different ranks.
And for the sake of safety, it is best to have a puppet founder here, so that the enemy does not dare to act rashly. (To be continued.) )
