Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Since Gongzi Li wants to, then I will give you a chance." ”

Li Yuan suddenly became excited.

His ambition is actually not big. I just hope to restore the prosperity of Daxu in the past.

Zhang Yi continued: "My Splendid Firm can help Li Gongzi regain his own imperial power. ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan was stunned, and his heart was full of doubts.

Are these guys all crazy? Why so arrogant?

Li Yuan was puzzled: "Does the Splendid Trading House have a way to help me regain the lost throne?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "I am a splendid firm, and there are many strong people. What's more, we also have the money and grain supply channels in Daxu. Many generals in the army have received the benefits of the Splendid Firm........."

Splendid Commercial Bank does have enough resources.

"These people will also support us. As long as we put a little pressure on you, they will take refuge in you, Li Gongzi. ”

Li Yuan's breath was short. It's a godsend.

Li Yuan frowned and said, "Are you sure you didn't lie to me?" ”

The backstage of the Splendid Commercial Bank may be powerful, but how can it affect the Daxu army?

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in lying to you, and there's no need to deceive you." ”

Li Yuan pondered, this matter was too sudden.

"And what test do I need?" Li Yuan asked.

The owner of the Splendid Commercial Bank smiled indifferently and said: "My Splendid Commercial Company is the richest man in the world, rich and powerful, and whatever you want to do, you can get it at your fingertips." ”

Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Li Gongzi, my splendid firm has means, such as ......."

"Li Gongzi, your life is already in my hands. If you don't pass the test, and you know too much, you also know the methods of the Splendid Firm. ”

Cold sweat broke out on Li Yuan's forehead. The methods of the Splendid Trading Company were so cruel and cruel that although he had not personally experienced it, he had heard of it.

Zhang Yi, the owner of this splendid firm, is by no means a good type!

"I don't mind killing you." Zhang Yi said in an eerie tone.

Li Yuan's head was dazed, and his whole body was cold.

Li Yuan's face changed. He instinctively sensed that Zhang Yi was not joking.

His heart was pounding and he was trembling.

The splendid firm is really as terrifying as the rumors, and if you take out a test casually, you will have no power to resist.

The depths of Li Yuan's eyes revealed intense humiliation and anger.

But he won't be scared by that. I will not forget the day of my abdication, Gonggong Zhu pulled out against him, and his death was so realistic.

Li Yuan will not forget how angry he was when his imperial sister was killed that day.

Li Yuan's eyes gradually turned red, he clenched his fists, his nails sunk deep into his palms, almost sinking into flesh and blood.

He's not reconciled.

Li Yuan lowered his head to hide the hatred in his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth, raised his head, looked at Zhang Yi and said, "I am willing to accept any test of the Splendid Commercial Company." ”

Zhang Yi bowed slightly.

He could see that Li Yuan was unwilling to admit defeat.

This is normal, after all, he was the emperor of the year, even if he was ousted from power, he still had a kind of arrogance and arrogance in his bones.

The corners of his mouth outlined a strange arc, and his smile carried an inexplicable chill.

Li Yuan didn't dare to look at Zhang Yi's gaze, because it made him feel suffocated and scared.

"You can go. I'll send you a letter in two days. Zhang Yi waved his hand.

Li Yuan didn't dare to stay and hurriedly said goodbye.

After Li Yuan left, Zhang Yi muttered to himself: "Is it really worth it for me to do this?" ”

An old servant in black next to him said, "Lord, whether it's worth it or not, you know best." ”

Zhang Yi sighed and did not speak.

Zhang Yi sighed and said, "I'm just worried now, what if Li Yuan is unbearable and doesn't cooperate with our plan?" ”

The old servant said: "Lord, Li Yuan's son, although he is greedy, the city government is not shallow. Although I am timid and cowardly, I am better than being steady and steadfast. ”

Seeing this, the old servant comforted and said: "Lord, twenty years have passed now, and the grievances of the year should have dissipated a long time ago. ”

Zhang Yi said: "Who can forget the events of that year? ”

He is not a person who likes to explain and does not disdain to explain.

He changed the subject and said, "I set a test for Li Yuan, do you think he can pass it successfully?" ”

"I hope he won't let me down. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lived long. ”

The old servant hesitated for a moment and said, "It's very difficult. Li Yuan's ability and skills are far beyond ordinary people, but he lacks experience. This is his Achilles' heel. He was able to sit on the throne purely by relying on the shadow of the emperor (the family of the world). ”

This test was a fierce battle for him.

Zhang Yi said slowly: "I'd rather Li Yuan wasn't such a person. ”

"My lord?" The old servant was puzzled.

Zhang Yi said quietly: "I would rather the enemies of our Splendid Firm be a group of mediocre people. ”

The old servant was stunned.

Zhang Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down." ”

After the old servant left.

Zhang Yi closed his eyes, seemed to think of something, and said softly: "I will return the innocence of the invincible black armor battalion, I will let the Yang family disappear completely, and I will make everyone who fell into the well pay the price, including the abolished emperor Li Yuan, if it wasn't for his stupidity and incompetence, how could he kill my brother." ”

The rise of the Splendid Commercial Company is extremely fast, and it has even reached the top of the world in just 20 years, and its size and strength have shocked the world.

The Splendid Trading House specializes in collecting the secrets of the world and selling all kinds of weapons, food, weapons, etc.

The business of the Splendid Commercial House spread throughout the Daxu, Northern Zhou and Western Xia kingdoms, and its secret power was immeasurable.

The most powerful thing about the Splendid Company is not the financial resources, but the unpredictable means. They control the whole world.

Zhang Yi, the owner of the Splendid Commercial Bank, is a mysterious existence, and few people know his appearance.

Even the imperial court and the heroes of all parties could not find any information about him.

When the deposed emperor Li Yuan had just taken over the imperial power, the Splendid Commercial Bank was only a personal guard of less than 100 people.

.............

In October of the first year of Dajia, the autumn sun shines through the thin clouds under the Hongdu City.

The towering walls cut off the noise of the outside world, and only the occasional sound of carriages and horses and people mixed with the noise of the city through the city gates.

The streets of the city are wide and clean, stretching quietly, lined with tall shops and houses.

On the streets, pedestrians hurried by, some carrying parcels, some holding scrolls in their hands, some bowing their heads in thought, and some talking.

Under the war, everything changed, the people were struggling to make a living, and there were countless displaced people.

Inside the city walls, a young woman, holding her hand to the wall, stared into the distance. She was wearing a long light gauze dress, and her long hair was flowing loosely, as if she was being blown by the breeze.

Her eyes are deep, as if she can see the future in the distance.

It turned out that the dancing girls were pleasing the nobles.........

At the gates of the city, several soldiers were guarded, and they were vigilantly patrolling with spears in their hands. Their faces are resolute, showing their determination and courage as guardians.

In the streets of the city, an old man, the wrinkles on his face are deeply imprinted with the traces of time, but his eyes are still bright.

Dressed in prison uniform and on crutches, he was crushed into a blacksmith shop by a group of rough soldiers.

"Old man, it's not for nothing to let you out, I heard that you used to be a blacksmith and made a lot of good ironworks."

A grumpy soldier shouted.

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "The old man really doesn't know how to cast weapons!" ”

"Can't cast?"

The old man shook his head helplessly with a bitter face: "I will only use wood and stones, and nothing else!" ”

"You're playing tricks, aren't you?" The soldier said angrily.

The old man hurriedly begged for mercy: "Uncle, how dare the old man deceive you?" ”

The short-tempered soldier immediately pointed to several colleagues behind him, "This old man refuses to forge weapons for King Han, he really deserves death." Come on, kill it! ”

The old man was terrified when he heard this. He hurriedly knelt down and wailed, "No, no, no! Big..... My lord, I will forge weapons, I will. ”

"Huh....... That's good! Well done! ”

This made the grumpy soldier feel very good, and he finally caught a blacksmith, and a blacksmith was rewarded with ten taels of silver.

...............

The ancient city of Hongdu is not only the crystallization of stone and land, but also the witness of people's emotions and history. It carries countless stories and witnesses countless eras.

It used to be prosperous and had thousands of troops. But the years have passed, and now the city wall is mottled, full of vicissitudes and tragedy.

The imperial army pressed the border, and tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded Hongdu.

These soldiers were all dressed in iron armor, waving flags and flashing swords and guns.

They wore black armor and had a crescent moon tattooed on their chests, which was a symbol of the Black Armor Army. These soldiers are all wearing the Flying Tiger Arm Crossbow, which is specially made by the Great Xu Empire, and the crossbow is equipped with powerful arrows.

Some of them were armed with spears and horses, looking like they were ready to charge and fight.

And at the front of the army, a spacious carriage stood silently.

The carriage was pulled by several horses, and the curtain was half rolled.

I couldn't see what figure was sitting in the car, but I could vaguely see a solemn figure.

"General, we have entered the outside of Hongdu City, should we continue to attack the city, or will we bypass the south side of Hongdu and enter the hinterland of Hongdu from the west?"

One of the generals asked.

You must know that Hongdu City is bordered by the Yellow River in the east, Qinling Mountains in the west, and Shanhaiguan in the south, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Hongdu army had already prepared and set up checkpoints on various carriages and horses.

The wall is also strong, and the air plank road is also set up outside the Hongdu City, and countless gravel is piled up, which can cause losses to the attacking imperial army at any time.

The voice from inside the carriage was heard with majesty and coldness, and it made the heart tremble, "Take a detour to the west." ”

"Yes!"

"Driving~"

The army marched into the confines of Hongdu City.

To the south of Hongdu City, there is a small road that leads to the west.

The trail is winding and rugged, with many shrubs and weeds growing along the roadside.
