Chapter 144: Vultures

"To the weak, chaos is the abyss; For the strong, chaos is a ladder! ”

Li Heming shouted in a low voice, as if a bell and drum had sounded in the room.

"We have no horses, knives and guns, and manpower, and we can still form a family team when the time comes......"

"The people of Pingtou are not having a good time in Huaiyang now, but we are different!"

Speaking of this, Li Heming's chest rose and fell, his snort was heavy, and a pair of eagle eyes looked at him like a pair.

"I understand, Patriarch."

Li Licheng bowed his head slightly and snorted.

"Then do you want to tell others about this, at least a few brothers in the realm......

He was halfway through his sentence when he was abruptly interrupted.

"I am the patriarch, and you are my deputy."

Li Heming said in a low voice.

"We can't bear this, who can?!"

"There will be extraordinary people in the world, and then there will be extraordinary things; There are extraordinary things, and then there are extraordinary things. ”

"The machine is not secret, and the trouble depends on the door!"

A few words came out like a cannon, like a thunderbolt, which made Li Licheng's face pale.

"I know, I know ......"

He clenched the armrests with both hands and pressed himself against the back of his chair.

"I just think of the 100,000 living people in this city, and of the debts of life that my people have thrown to the north......"

The voice is difficult, and he dies when he passes through the beam.

Silence covered the study.

Li Heming's fierce color finally faded.

It was a long time before he spoke again.

"The Li family of Jinhai is the leader of Jinhai, but he is the last of the world's families."

"We only have the three-grade exercises in our lives, and we have no relationship with Yuan Ci and Heaven and Man for generations."

"Licheng, you and I are going against fate, and there will be a price for going against fate!"

He said slowly, his face never showing a hint of softness throughout.

"People make excuses for themselves in order to live."

"We just need to cook the raw rice into rice."

"Wait for next year, wait for the year after next, wait for the Li family to take root in Huaiyang Kingdom, and wait for the children to start cultivating the Ox Solving Classic, which is a hundred times superior to Ruyijin......"

"When the time comes, they won't have to explain it, they'll forget about it."

Li Licheng had nothing to say, so he could only nod his head messily.

He pulled the door open and stumbled out.

In the quiet room, Li Heming was left alone to sit on the top.

He picked up the tea cup that had cooled down a long time ago and brought it to his mouth, but his hands trembled.

Tea spilled, wetting the robe.

Li Heming didn't move for a long time, just silently competed with the palm of his hand, and finally stabilized after a while.

The ripples of the tea are slowed down.

The surface of the water is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the face of the human being.

His eyes are red and his lips are chapped.

The green tendons on the forehead are knotted and bulging, like the cracks of human skin.

"Oh, the crane sheds its feathers, it turns out to be a vulture......"

He chuckled under his breath and swallowed the tea raw.

······

The second day of March.

Qingming is coming.

The sun is beautiful and the wind is harmonious in Jinhai City, and everything is visible.

And the Taishan outside the city is even more sprouting plants and trees, a scene of vitality and competition.

On the only terrace on the top floor of Goldwind Building, a small round table was specially added today.

There were four people sitting at the table, namely Hong Fan, Gao Junxia, Cui Yutang, and Li Xingfa.

"Speaking of which, I first noticed these two in Hongduo Mountain."

Hong Fan chewed on the pig's door cavity and said.

"A Danfeng eyebrows, a skin as white as jade, when attacking the mountain, he fought bravely with your eldest son, and his qi sword was extremely sharp."

"Not only are people good-looking, but their temperament is also extraordinary."

"I'm surprised, such a prominent character, why haven't I seen it for so many years?"

He raised his glass and walked for a round.

"It's normal that you don't know these two people, Hong Shao."

Li Xing handed out the empty cup and replied enthusiastically.

"They are from the fourth team, and they are not from Jinhai in the first place, and they are probably Wudang Riders who entered a year ago."

"The two of them are from homeless people, and they said that they followed my second uncle to work in Xijing seven or eight years ago, and later got his blue eyes and passed on Ruyi."

"Later, some of the clan's own family members were going to Xijing, and these two people were transferred back, and they were quite valued by the family."

Hong Fan was shocked when he heard the words - Li Xingfa's second uncle is the legendary Li Chengwang who lost money in gambling.

"It's no wonder."

"I don't know what their names are, but when I have a chance in the future, I can get to know each other."

He said casually.

"The two are brothers, and they both have the surname Xiao."

Li Xingfa replied.

"The emperor's surname, is he not a little brave?"

Hong Fan said with a smile.

"How can it be, it's the 'unscrupulous descendant' that Xiao."

Li Xingfa said, and only realized that the words were inappropriate as soon as the words came out.

But for some reason, Hong Fan slapped his thighs with laughter.

"Having the opportunity to meet Hong Shao is naturally their chance."

Li Xingfa continued.

"These two people's martial arts cultivation is not weak, as for the appearance or something, they can't catch up with Hong Shaoling."

"But they really stand out in one thing, and that is to spend money generously."

"It's not just about inviting guests to eat and living, but the brothers also have a fixed good ...... in Yanliu Lane."

"It's hard for an ordinary poor background to have the pride of these two!"

A few more rounds of wine were spoken.

Then Cui Yutang mentioned the relocation of the Li family, which has been very noisy in the past two days.

"It's pretty sudden, anyway."

Li Xingfa ripped his collar open and complained.

"As the old saying goes, people leave their hometowns, and the Li family of Jinhai leaves Jinhai, where can there be the current scenery?"

"And the place I'm going to move to is Hongbo City in Huaiyang Kingdom."

"You also know what Huaiyang Country has been like in the past two years, every city and county has set up cards to collect taxes, and even caravans can't get by!"

He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh as he spoke.

"My in-laws have been arguing with me for the past few days, and my father-in-law is looking for me to drink, and he also asked me to come out and persuade me."

"But how can I persuade a junior?"

Li Xingfa took a sip of the wine, and his eyebrows and eyes were twisted.

"You also know that the majesty of the Crane Duke in my clan is the king of the Eight Classics!"

"When I see him, my legs are swinging, where can I speak?"

Seeing that his friend was sad, Cui Yutang didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to pour him wine.

"I've heard about it, too."

Hong Fan said.

"But there are hundreds of people in the Li family, and such a big matter as moving the clan can't be decided by a few masters."

"After all, your ancestral tombs are all in Jinhai, so you have to give an explanation if you suddenly want to go south, right?"

"Of course there is."

Li Xingfa replied.

"Huaiyang country does not border with other races, the insects in the southwest are separated by Shengzhou, and the snake people in the northwest are blocked by Liangzhou."

"So if we move over there, our Li family won't have to spend time with snake people anymore."

"That's the first one."

He gave Hong Fan a glass and continued.

"The second article is that I think that Huaiyang Kingdom is going to come to Jitai."

"In the past two years, the local clans over there have moved out one after another, and a lot of industries, houses, and fields have been vacated, and the prices are very low."

"Then recently, the imperial court has also been concerned about the evil deeds of King Huaiyang, and it is said that the Ministry of Rites has also sent people."

"At this time, if you take over in the past, in case the trend reverses, you can make a lot of money."

Li Xingfa said, and couldn't help but sneer.

"There is a third one, Huaiyang is a traffic artery, guarding the throat of the north-south trade route."

"If we 'take advantage of the situation' and successfully get stuck in the position, we will not be able to eat and use it in the future."

He snorted and leaned back heavily in his chair.
