Chapter 90: Recruitment
In the dead of night, in the city of Jiankang.
The sky was overcast, as if it had just been stained with ink, and everything on the earth was shrouded in the bleak moonlight, as silent as time jamming, except for the inadvertent sound of the leaves scraping.
The city has never seemed so quiet, or perhaps it's the noise behind it......
At this time, in Yichun Building, the largest brothel in Jiankang City, the cloud sleeves danced, and it was difficult to stop singing and dancing every night.
Two slender men in brocade clothes sat in a private room, each holding a beautiful and beautiful girl in their arms.
Between the wine glasses, although the head of the person looked handsome, but his eyebrows were full of haze, he pinched the delicate little face of the beauty in his arms, and said: "Everyone in the world says that the seductive belly dance of the singer outside the Saiwai is famous all over the world, but I think our beauty seems to be better!" Looks like I'm even more blessed! Hahaha! β
The woman picked up the handkerchief and smiled shyly: "How dare the slave family compare with the singer, it's just that Sima Gongzi is favored, and he is fortunate to help a few masters." β
"Huh? That's right! Anyway, what's going on with Sima Shao lately? And what is that hot pot restaurant called Li Xian's kid? One of them asked indignantly.
The leader hooked his lips and smiled coldly, snorted, and threw the wine glass on the table: "What is he Li Xian!" The guy who is a fox and a fake tiger is not worthy of lifting my shoes! β
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing people's parents, this hatred is not shared, and both of them hate Li Xian so much.
Some time ago, locust plagues were rampant and snowstorms plummeted, and people were hungry and poor.
Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.
They don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and they are still counting on being able to make a windfall and brush up on this man-made disaster and natural disasters to sell grain at a high price, and brush up another wave of merits, so that they can rise in momentum in front of their father, but they have a good chance to give food to Sima Shao, who volunteered to donate food, and broke their dream of making a fortune and brushing the hearts of the people.
And now, Sima Shao has invented something called "hot pot and barbecue" and handed it over to Li Xian to take care of, which clearly robs them of their respective tavern businesses in the city.
One by one, how can they not hate? How not to be angry?!
Come to think of it, this Li Xian is just a businessman now, just find some guards to clean up, they just need to wait for the news of success.
......
At this time, in Pengcheng, there were several uninvited guests in the hot pot restaurant.
Quietly looking at the few masked black-clothed men at the door, Li Xianmeng didn't hesitate to speak: "How much money did they give you?" β
Several people raised their heads to look at the target of this assassination, looking at each other, how did he know that he had received money from others to target him.
"Our brother saw that your shop's business was in full swing, and wanted to ask you to borrow some money to spend it, how could it be instructed by someone?" The lead man deliberately opened the subject.
Li Xian shook his head: "You don't want to borrow some money from me, but you want to take my life."
I don't know what is in the way, but I think I can invite you, I think you should be one of the powerful. β
The leader in black was heartbroken, thinking that since the purpose of himself and the others was known, it would be a dead end for this person to escape, and he didn't get Li Xian's life, so he couldn't explain to those two at all, and I was afraid that he would not be able to escape death in the end.
Rather than dying vaguely, it is better to simply die clearly.
Li Xian then asked: "Then since I know that the business in the store will be bigger, it will definitely attract jealousy, do you think I will leave a hand?" β
"When you were wandering around the door of the store during the day, the spies in the shadows had already discovered you.
As for why I let you in, I just want to verify that I am right, and by the way, to find out what you are talking about. β
Li Xian didn't hide it anymore.
Heh, it seems that there are really people on Jiankang and Pengcheng's side who can't sit still.
"You actually ambushed us, you kill us, we won't say anything. I hope the shopkeeper will make our death a little more painful. The man in black simply took off his mask and stretched his neck forward, and the others also looked like they were at home.
Li Xian didn't answer them, but clapped his hands.
A few maids stepped forward to bring a steaming mouthful of hot pot and chopsticks and plates, and pointed to the hot pot on the table and said, "You can eat with me first." β
I'm afraid that the dishes and chopsticks and meals are poisoned, or at least, they died decently, but I didn't expect them to do evil for half their lives, and today they will fold here in this yellow-mouthed child.
Well, however, this is worthy of a new store in the city, and it is so luxurious that it uses such a cauldron?
Looking at the hot pot pointed by Li Xian, several people were suspicious, but it was better to be a full ghost than to starve to death, and several people didn't think much about it anymore, and they came forward to taste it.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened, and the same exclamation arose in their heartsβ
"What kind of fairy delicacy is this, it is so delicious!"
After thinking about it, a few people are swept by the wind, as long as it is scalded in the hot pot, even the base ingredients are eaten cleanly.
Li Xian didn't make a sound, and looked at them intently and smiled.
After a long time, seeing that Li Xian still didn't react, these people realized that this person had no intention of killing them at all.
"You can't succeed this time, and if you go back, you must be wiped out."
"It's better to stay in the shop, from now on, faithfully serve me and Your Highness, and rest assured that your benefits are indispensable."
Several people looked at each other, and the leading man gritted his teeth and took the lead in kneeling down to Li Xian and said, "From today onwards, I will take Store Manager Li and His Royal Highness as the leader!" β
When the rest of the people saw this scene, they had no choice but to go one way to the dark, and they also knelt down to the ground one after another.
Who would have thought that without moving a single soldier, Li Xian would successfully recruit several subordinates who were skilled in martial arts!
In fact, this is all the back hand left by His Highness!
In Jiankang City, in the dormitory of the three princes, there was a sound of things breaking at this time.
"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! Sima Chong slammed the porcelain cup full of tea on the table to the ground, and the fragments were scattered in all directions.
He was so angry that he couldn't help but roar, and scolded: "Didn't you swear before that those people would easily take Li Xianxiang's head? What now? Now what's going on! β
"Believe it or not, I'm going to have your head taken off and fed to the dogs right now!!"
The man hurriedly picked up the fragments scattered on the ground, gathered them and grabbed them in his hands, ignoring the wounds and blood that were scratched by the fragments in his hands, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness is angry, the little one doesn't know what demon magic Li Xian used, not only is he still alive and well, but he also took the subordinates I sent out for his own use." β
The third prince, Sima Chong, squinted his eyes, clenched his fists and roared: "Okay, you Li Xian, His Royal Highness is not with you!" Sima Shao, I can't deal with it for the time being, but it's still easy to deal with you. β
It's just that now they are alert, and it's hard to start. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and let him spend more time at ease.
