Chapter 243: Li Chengping's Choice
In Yongdu City, there is a town king's mansion, which was given to Li Chengping by the Great Wei Dynasty, and before that, that Li Changsheng has always been the strongest backer of the Great Wei.
Li Chengping's family has always inherited this palace, although he is only a county king, at this time, there are many high-level Tsing Yi Wei executives in the palace who are crying with Li Chengping.
"My lord, that Jiang Cheng didn't believe what he said, he said that he wouldn't move us for half a year, but now we have all been transferred from our official positions, and we are all hollowed out, and there are even rumors that Yang Shen is investigating our incriminating evidence and wants to kill us."
Some officials are crying, Jiang Cheng promised them before, not to move them for half a year, but now it has only been a long time, he has broken his promise, and has gradually put them in the air, by pulling in the deputies in various key positions, replacing them, the official position has not changed, but the real power is almost gone.
"Everyone, get ready, get out as soon as possible"
Li Chengping's face was extremely ugly, but he did not promise to keep these people, because he himself had already gone to the general trend, and was driven out of Tsing Yiwei by Jiang Cheng, his power was already much inferior to others, and his personal strength could not compare to Jiang Cheng, he was now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it was difficult to protect himself.
When those high-level officials heard this, they all changed color and cried one after another, and Li Chengping also took the trouble to appease them for a long time before letting Li Cunran send them away.
"Father, are we just waiting to be killed, why don't we give it a go, let me mobilize people, enter Yongdu City, and assassinate Jiang Cheng"
Li Cunran was indignant, his future was robbed by Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng still didn't believe his words, he was very angry in his heart, and he was full of killing intent towards Jiang Cheng.
"Kill Jiang Cheng, what are you going to kill?"
"Father, we ····· people"
"But there are more than a hundred innate people, how can they be Jiang Cheng's opponents, Jiang Cheng killed the immortals of the Divine Soul Realm and killed them with his own hands."
Li Chengping said, speaking of this, he was also extremely desperate, Jiang Cheng's personal killing of the immortals of the Divine Soul Realm had been made public, and the masters he had raised privately were no longer helpful, the world was changing too fast, and he was already caught off guard.
"Father, today Yang Shen is persecuting me again, if you don't do it, those people of ours will not be able to hide it sooner or later, and when Jiang Cheng is prepared, we are not opponents"
"It's not an opponent in the first place"
"Father, we are not Jiang Cheng's opponents, but we can arrest Jiang Yong, Jiang Wu, and his wife Xue Qingqing, I don't believe it, Jiang Cheng has no weakness at all"
"What happens after you get caught?"
"This..."
"You have to use your brains to do things, and now the general trend is no longer on our side"
"But..."
Li Cunran didn't know how to answer for a while, the soldiers and horses that Li Chengping raised privately were all cultivated by him and hung on the Intelligence Department, so that he could hide from the Great Wei royal family and courtiers.
But now that Yang Shen is taking over his affairs, once he hands over all the affairs of the Intelligence Department, these people will not be able to hide it.
"Now only the Li family can save us, I have made a decision, tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace and entrust all the family resources to the Li family, you and my father and son can still save their lives"
"Father, not rich, would rather die"
Li Cunran gritted his teeth and said, he has been superior in Yongdu City since he was a child, whether it is a noble or a minister, he is not as high as his status, and he doesn't even dare to do anything to him when he asks the disciples of the Immortal Pavilion.
Because, he has an ancestor who is an inner disciple of Tianlan Sect, and his father, who is in charge of Tsing Yi Wei, now Li Chengping's command has taken away his official position, Jiang Cheng even exceeds the status of his ancestor, Li Cunran has already felt the sense of disparity brought by this status, if he hands over the family background again, then what is he.
"Stupid, what is death, what is wealth?"
"Father..."
"Seven years ago, when the first emperor died, I could actually usurp the throne, why didn't I do it, because my goal was not Great Wei, what is a mortal court in Great Wei?"
"Father, then we..."
"Let's let Jiang Cheng win a game first, let's take our time, don't mess around recently, it's okay to take a few more wives and concubines, give our family a branch and leaves, our struggle, that is generation after generation, as long as our immortal ancestor does not die, we will always have a chance to turn over"
Li Chengping said, what is Great Wei, what is property, immortality is the most important, as long as their ancestors are still alive, the Li family will never be able to move them, as long as their family has more children, there will always be geniuses.
"Father, I..."
Li Cunran didn't know how to answer all of a sudden, how did he get involved in the matter of him having more sons, he has a lot of wives and concubines, and he can't bear it if he has a few more, and his waist is not iron.
Li Chengping didn't say much, early the next morning, Li Chengping entered the palace and went to find Li Changqing, Li Changqing compared with a few years ago, the whole person is much older, in the battle of Yongzhou, he was seriously injured, the foundation has been broken, plus several other peers died in the war, his whole mind is depressed, and the whole person is much older.
"Grandpa Huang"
"Chengping is here, is there anything wrong?"
"There are some things I want to say to Grandpa Huang"
"Then you can say it"
"I have been in charge of Tsing Yi Wei for many years, secretly intercepted a batch of property, raised a group of people, and now Jiang Cheng is eyeing me, unwilling to let me go, I hope that the emperor's grandfather will save Chengping"
"How many people have you raised, what strength"
Li Changqing said that he had already known that Li Chengping had embezzled a lot of money, and he had already given him a batch before, even including a spirit jade mine that was dug privately, so that the Li family could quickly recover his strength, Li Changqing knew that Li Chengping must still have a lot of things in his hands, and there were also some people, but now he wanted to know how much.
"Most of the property mines, except for the guards in the mines, most of them are private soldiers raised by me, about 3,000 people, all of whom have the strength of no less than second-rate masters in the rivers and lakes, of which there are more than 100 people, who are congenital, and 20 people have the strength of a great grandmaster."
"You..."
Li Changqing was a little angry, with such a strong strength, why didn't he take it out when Great Wei was in danger before, when Great Xia broke Gaocheng, Yongdu City was shocked three times a day, and even he Li Changqing was guarding the wall of Yongdu City.
"Grandpa Huang, I don't want to say much about the past, I had a misunderstanding with my family before, but after all, my surname is Li, and I am a child of the Li family, do you say yes?"
"Yes, it's good if you remember your surname is Li"
Li Changqing nodded, no matter how dissatisfied he was with Li Chengping before, he still agreed with this very much, the children of the Li family are the children of the Li family, and they have the same blood in their bodies.
"Yes, now I am willing to hand over all these possessions and soldiers and horses."
"What is not handed over to Jiang Cheng"
"Why should you hand it over to him, the children of the Li family should think about the Li family, Jiang Cheng is this person, I think it is a big harm to our Li family"
"Detail"
"Three or four years ago, Jiang Cheng was still a nameless little person, and we could pinch it to death, but at that time, what did Jiang Cheng do, he could bend and stretch, and he was willing to throw himself into Li Hongsleeve's door, even if he was strong, he was willing to maintain respect for Li Hongsleeve, which was a heroic posture.
Now Jiang Chengcheng is the first in Great Wei, but how did he treat Chen Shifeng, he is still like a slave, such a person, the mind must be great, now Jiang Chengcheng is strong, but the foundation is weak, can give him three or five years, ten years, once he is full-fledged, will the Li family still be his opponent? ”
"What you said is right, but Jiang Cheng will definitely go to Xianmen in the future."
Li Changqing nodded, Li Chengping said that Jiang Cheng had great ambitions, he believed it, and he also underestimated Jiang Cheng, this person was too forbearing.
"But Jiang Cheng has brothers and wives, once he gives birth to an heir, his mentality will inevitably change, we are all parents, who doesn't want to lay a foundation for their children"
Li Chengping said that he was now going to encourage the Li family to oppose him and Jiang Cheng, so he was advocating Jiang Cheng's threat.
"There is a reason for this"
Li Chengping said that being alone is not the same as having an heir, once Jiang Cheng has an heir, he must leave a piece of inheritance for his heirs to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and even superior to others, which is inherently incompatible with the Li family.
"Grandpa Huang, for the sake of the Li family, it's time to start planning"
"How do you want to"
"Unite our Li clan and cultivate our Li clan's children, Chengping is willing to take out all the intercepted financial resources to specially promote the outstanding children of the Li clan, so that they can have no worries about food and clothing, can concentrate on martial arts, can enter the Xianmen to practice, and when the Li clan is strong, I can rest easy"
"Chengping is open-minded, I will talk to Jiang Cheng"
"Thank you Grandpa Huang, that Chengping retired"
"Go, don't come hard with Jiang Cheng, he is in the limelight at this time"
Li Changqing said that he already knew about Jiang Cheng, and he personally killed the immortals of the Divine Soul Realm, and no one in the limelight of Great Wei could control him, even the Li family was unwilling to be tough with him, and the emperor gave Jiang Cheng the title of king, and he agreed.
The king with a different surname is not terrible, the three kings with different surnames have not been in the limelight for decades, but where are they at this time, as long as they occupy the righteousness and occupy the position of the royal family, they can survive the opponent by boiling.
Now that Li Chengping understands the overall situation so well, Li Changqing is still very satisfied, no matter what kind of mentality he comes from, now he must stand on Li Chengping's side, after all, blood is thicker than water.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Li Cunran was already waiting at the gate of the palace, and when he saw Li Chengping coming out, he hurriedly asked.
"It's done, after you go back, immediately hand over the mines and people to Li Changqing, and at the same time let our people in Tsing Yiwei withdraw, don't leave any of them who should resign, these people are still useful"
Li Chengping said that he took a comprehensive retreat to guard Jiang Cheng's coercion, and he was not tough with Jiang Cheng, he wanted to control the Tsing Yi Guard, so he withdrew his men and horses to make room for Jiang Cheng, the lower his posture, the more sympathetic Li was to him, and the more willing he was to block Jiang Cheng for him.
