"So much! What is the imperial court going to purchase this time?" Li Zixiong looked at the three silver tickets on the table, each of which contained 20 million gold coins.

Li Mingyan began to smile on his face, with these 60 million gold coins, the Li family will have the capital to make a comeback!

"Mostly war horses, but also weapons. Li Jiaomei took out another list from her cuffs.

Li Zixiong picked up the list with one hand and quickly estimated it with the other.

Soon, he frowned slightly and said, "It doesn't seem that the profit is high this time." ”

Li Mingyan also walked to his father's side and looked at the list carefully.

Li Jiaomei picked up the water cup on the table, blew the hot air on the tea with her sexy little mouth, and said lightly: "No way, the war is coming, the treasury is also tight, and the profits are definitely not as good as in the past." ”

In the past, the profit of the imperial court from purchasing materials could generally reach more than 60 percent, and no matter how low it was, it would never be lower than this number.

However, although the amount of money purchased this time is large, the profit is less than half of what it used to be.

Li Zixiong groaned slightly and asked, "How many people now know that war is about to break out?"

Li Jiaomei rubbed her temples and said, "Except for the ministers in the court, no one else knows, and it is estimated that even the envoys of the Lion Empire have not received the news." ”

Li Zixiong's eyes snapped, "Ming Yan, you should contact the horse suppliers of various countries now, as well as the Ash Horse Farm in the north, and be sure to sign all the horses first, even if it doesn't work, sign the best quality horses as much as possible."

If the news comes out, it is estimated that the price of horses will rise sharply soon!"

Ash Horse Farm is a famous horse trading market in the Xuangu Continent, where horses of any breed can be bought.

Li Mingyan nodded, he knew that his father was going to do it again.

Li Jiaomei suddenly interjected at this time and said, "When I was about to leave the imperial capital, the eldest princess had already proposed to openly collect horses and weapons from the entire empire, and the will is estimated to be issued soon, so you should do it as soon as possible." ”

Li Mingyan didn't say a word, he took the silver ticket and walked outside, he had to prepare as quickly as possible.

In the living room, Li Jiaomei and Li Zixiong were left.

"Jiaomei, you should rush back to the imperial capital immediately, and if there is any move in the court, send a message to your father immediately. Li Zixiong said with some excitement.

He has already regarded this huge purchase order from the imperial court as the hope for the Li family to rise again.

Li Jiaomei frowned, she had just come back, and she hadn't even finished drinking a cup of hot tea, so she hurried back to the imperial capital city, and a sad and rebellious mood rose in her heart, "I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a few days and then go back to the imperial capital." ”

Li Zixiong frowned, his expression was a little displeased, "Now is the critical time for the life and death of the Li family, you are not in the imperial capital city to monitor the court's every move, what are you resting in Yunhai City?

A layer of mist gradually appeared in Li Jiaomei's eyeframe, but she blinked quickly, letting the mist that had just gathered dissipate, "I see." ”

With that, she just stood up and walked out the door.

Outside the door, in addition to the coachman, there was also a man with a long knife and an indifferent expression.

"Miss Li, who are you?" the indifferent man wondered.

This Miss Li just entered the mansion, why did she come out.

Li Jiaomei didn't say anything and sat directly in the carriage.

She sat in the carriage, and the aggrieved and sad emotion in her heart could no longer be held back, and she cried in a low voice.

The indifferent man heard the crying in the carriage and wanted to comfort Li Jiaomei, but as soon as his hand reached out to the curtain, he stopped.

He was just a guard, and he was ordered by Lord Zhang to protect Miss Li.

It was a long time before he heard a voice coming from inside the car.

"Shan Guard, find a restaurant, I want to drink something. ”

Shan Guard replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

Then, he gave the driver a look, and the two drove towards a restaurant not far away.

-------

Qi Tian came to the Yunhai City Gate to look for Xiao Xiaobing, but was told that Xiao Qianfu was holding an emergency military meeting.

He could only wait helplessly in the carriage.

I don't know how long it took...

When the military meeting ended, Qi Tian almost fell asleep in the carriage.

"Big brother, are you looking for me?" Xiao Xiaobing knew that Qi Tian was looking for him, and immediately rushed to the city after the meeting.

Qi Tian rubbed his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiaobing, who was holding the curtain of the car, "Brother Xiao is here, what kind of military meeting, it has been held for so long." ”

Xiao Xiaobing's face hesitated, but he still said in a low voice: "Big brother, the Bright Sun Empire is about to go to war with the Lion Empire! The imperial court's will has just begun, let us organize a military material purchase meeting in Yunhai City."

Not many people know about this matter, so don't reveal it. ”

Qi Tian was suddenly startled, all the sleepiness just now was gone, and he hurriedly pulled Xiao Xiaobing into the carriage, "Brother, tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Xiao Xiaobing turned his head cautiously and looked at the lack of people outside the carriage, and then said: "I don't know very well, Captain Ma Cheng has just called a meeting of all the officers above the centurion, saying that the imperial court is going to war with the Lion Empire, and all major city-states must strictly search the people who enter and leave to prevent any imperial spies from entering the city."

At the same time, it is also planned to carry out a military material purchase meeting. ”

Qi Tian nodded slowly, he had not experienced war yet, and now when he heard about the war, a little panic rose in his heart.

"The eldest brother is in business, and while not many people know about it now, he can now buy some horses and long weapons at a low price, and then sell them to the imperial court to make a difference.

The most powerful thing in the Lion Empire is cavalry, so the Sunny Empire is also in urgent need of cavalry, as well as long weapons. Xiao Xiaobing kindly suggested.

He now completely regarded Qi Tian as his own big brother.

"Thanks bro, I got it.

One more thing, I found out that the Black Axe Gang headquarters is surrounded by the city guards, what is going on?" Qi Tian asked.

The main purpose of coming here today is to ask about the Black Axe Gang headquarters.

A trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Xiaobing's eyes, "I don't know about this, I only know that Lord Wang personally ordered the blockade of the Black Axe Gang, and no one is allowed to enter." ”

Qi Tian frowned, and wondered in his heart, what is Lord Wang's intention in doing this?

Did he also know that there were treasures hidden in the tunnels of the Black Axe Gang?

Or does he just want to simply protect the secret of the Black Axe Gang's involvement with the Li family, afraid that outsiders will find out what evidence?

"Big brother wants to go in?" Xiao Xiaobing asked.

Qi Tian came back to his senses and nodded slightly, "Don't hide it from my brother, my brother has a thing lost inside, so I want to get that thing back." ”

Xiao Xiaobing looked at Qi Tian with both eyes, although he didn't understand how the eldest brother had anything to do with the Black Axe Gang, but he didn't ask, "If the eldest brother must go, the brother can accompany the eldest brother on a trip, with the brother's current official position, the guards should give me a little thin noodles." ”

Qi Tian's face was overjoyed, and he said, "That's great, let's go now?"

Xiao Xiaobing nodded.

The carriage then sped towards the Black Axe headquarters.

When they met the guards of the soldiers, they saw Xiao Xiaobing poke his head out and said with a stern face: "I am ordered by the commander to come to the headquarters of the Black Axe Gang to get some things, you get out of the way quickly!"

The soldiers who were still arrogant when they saw Qi Tian before immediately dispersed to both sides like frosted eggplants.

Qi Tian sat in the carriage and laughed secretly.

This Xiao Xiaobing became serious, and he really had a bit of official authority!

Subsequently, Qi Tian took Xiao Xiaobing and walked all the way into the headquarters of the Black Axe Gang.

"Brother, help me move this table. Qi Tian pointed to the yellow copper-rimmed table on the north side of the first floor.

Xiao Xiaobing didn't say a word, walked over, stretched out his hand and pushed hard, and the table slid directly backwards.

He was a little strange and said, "This table looks quite big, I didn't expect it to be so easy to push." ”

Qi Tian smiled and said nothing, what kind of gambling table is this, it is clearly a way to hide the entrance of the tunnel, if it is so heavy, who can push it?

He squatted down and lifted the red carpet with all his might, and a small square wooden door appeared in front of him.

Xiao Xiaobing's eyes became surprised on the side!

He didn't expect that there would be a secret door here.

There was an iron handle on the small wooden door in the square, and after Qi Tian grabbed it, he pulled it hard, and the wooden door opened, revealing the tunnel inside.

It's just that the tunnel is not dark.

Because there are lit oil lamps on the walls on both sides of the tunnel, it seems that they are the legendary oil lamps!

In fact, it is not inextinguishable, that is, the oil storage utensils in this oil lamp are very large, and at the same time, the fire candle is weak, and the amount of oil used is very small, so it will burn for a long time, and some can even burn for more than several months.

Qi Tianxin said, it's okay now, you don't even need to bring torches, "Brother, let's go down." ”

But Xiao Xiaobing glanced at the door behind him and hesitated: "Big brother, I'm here to guard the door for you, in case someone comes in, it's hard to explain." ”

Qi Tian thought about it, nodded slightly, and walked down the stone stairs in the tunnel.

The stone staircase was short, and soon you reached the underground chamber.

When Qi Tian saw the scene of the secret room, his eyes widened!

There are three or four hundred square meters of secret room, and in the center is a three-meter-high gold mountain piled up with gold coins, glowing with a little golden light under the faint candlelight.

On the edge of the surrounding stone wall, there are also rows of Bogu shelves, on which are placed all kinds of treasures, including night pearls, spars, porcelain and so on.

"These eight achievements are the treasures that the Black Axe Gang has looted over the years, but I didn't expect that the Axe Master still has the habit of accumulating gold coins?" Qi Tian muttered to himself.

Few people keep their gold coins directly at home, and most of them exchange them for silver tickets, which are easy to carry and hide.

"Dripping bells...", there was a sound behind Jin Shan, and something seemed to be touching the gold coins.

Qi Tian suddenly became vigilant, and unconsciously pulled out the black long stick on his waist and held it in his hand!

He slowly walked around the golden mountain, trying not to make a noise under his feet.

"Tick bell...", another sound of gold coins clashing.

Qi Tian began to get nervous, because he was 100% sure that it was not the sound of the gold coin slipping at random, it was clearly something stepping on the gold coin.

He wanted to retreat, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart, calling him to move forward and uncover the mystery.

He continued to move, but his pace became slower and slower, and the black wooden stick in his hand was raised even higher, ready to hit the stick when something pounced...

At the moment, there is still a step away, and you can see the scene behind the golden mountain.

It's just that...

A huge shadow, under the reflection of the fire candle, is imprinted on the stone wall, which is very terrifying!

Qi Tian's forehead began to sweat, and his footsteps stopped unconsciously, no matter what, he was not ready to continue walking.

There is a way to kill cats with curiosity!

If Xia Qingxue was by his side, he would still have a bit of guts.

He began to step back, but...

"Wang, Wang, Wang!"

“...”

A little yellow dog actually ran out from behind Jin Shan, tilted his head, and looked at Qi Tian suspiciously.

"Nima! it's a dog!" Qi Tian scolded.

He never expected that this axe master would raise a little yellow dog in his basement!

Is this to be a janitor, or to be a pet?

If it's a janitor, it's too small to even count as a medium-sized dog.

If it's a pet... Who would keep a pet dog in a secret room?

Qi Tian took a few steps closer and squatted in front of the little yellow dog.

This little yellow dog has a pale yellow back, but the slightly long mouth and belly are snow-white.

It had a purple rope tied around its neck, and the other end of the rope was locked to a nail in the wall.

On its round little head, there are two triangular ears erected, a bit like the Akita dog that Qi Tian has seen in his previous life, but it is a little more honest than that dog.

Its eyes were round and black, and they were still a little agile when they turned, and there was a faint white fluff in the middle of its forehead, but it was not obvious.

While Qi Tian was observing it, it was also looking at Qi Tian.

Suddenly, it lifted a small front paw, patted Qi Tian's knee, and then put it down again.

Qi Tian was amused by this little guy's actions!

This little yellow dog is not only not afraid of people, but also has a bit of human nature!

"Sit down!" Qi Tian shouted softly, patting the ground with his hand.

The little yellow dog seemed to be able to understand Qi Tian's words, shrank his hind legs, and sat directly on the ground, his movements were very clumsy and funny.

Qi Tian immediately felt a little fond of this little yellow dog in his heart!

"Stand up!"

The little yellow dog squirmed to his feet again.

"Go in circles!"

The little yellow dog spun around again...

Qi Tian tried several more times, and the little yellow dog seemed to understand human nature, and did it one by one.

He loves this little yellow dog to death now, "Shall I take you out?"

The little yellow dog wagged his tail and nodded happily.

Then it turned to look at the rope that locked it and let out a few low roars, as if that meant to untie the rope to take me away...

Qi Tian didn't say a word, put down the black stick in his hand, and was about to untie the rope around the dog's neck.

It's just that when he picked up the purple rope and looked at it carefully, his brows wrinkled unconsciously!

Because this purple rope is not an ordinary hemp rope or cloth rope, this material he has never seen.

Also, there are no knots on the rope, as if it was tailor-made for this puppy!

Just as Qi Tian was pondering how to untie the rope, the little yellow dog on the ground inadvertently glanced at the black stick beside him, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, it approached the black stick again, sniffed carefully with its nose, and its round eyes were full of excitement!

"Wow!" it squealed.

Qi Tian was stunned, but saw the little yellow dog slapping the black stick with his small front paws.
