Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 138 Brother Li
"Boss Peng, you are so polite. You are here and you bring things with you.

When Wang Zhao heard the noise, he immediately ran to open the door.

Li Rui winked at Wang Zhao.

This kind of gift makes you feel most at ease when receiving it.

Wang Zhao became more and more clever, and quickly bent down: "Boss Peng, I'll hold it for you first."

After taking a look, Peng Hu handed the heavy wooden box in his hand to Wang Zhao.

Li Rui extended his right hand forward: "Boss Peng, please come in."

Although Peng Hu felt something was not right, he still walked into the lobby of Li's house.

The two sat down.

Li Rui slowly brewed a pot of tea.

Peng Hu was obviously a little anxious and drank the teacup in one gulp.

He couldn't wait to speak: "Master Li, my men"

The words are not finished yet.

Li Rui raised his hand to interrupt: "Boss Peng, today we are here for private conversation, we are not discussing business matters."

He knew very well what Peng Hu was thinking, which was nothing more than an apology.

Today's scene was already within his expectations.

Before, Tan Hu had angered the public.

What is public outrage?
Even if a 70-year-old man cursed a few times, no one would come to his door.

But now, he went to Qingfeng Villa.

He stayed for a full hour and finally left with a smile.

What does it mean?
Isn't it just that Qingfeng Villa and Anning Guard have reconciled? It goes without saying that this matter will soon be known to other forces in Qinghe.

Now one of the most powerful leaders has put aside his past grudges.

What will others do?
Waiting for Li Rui to apologize.

But Li Rui just didn't do that.

In this case, the ones who are panicking are not him, but the other forces that have been offended by Tan Hu.

They were just expressing their attitude in order to gain the greatest benefits from An Ning Wei, but they didn't really want to offend An Ning Wei.

No matter which sect it is, it is impossible to break off relations with the Annan Army.

This is Li Rui’s confidence.

Those powerful forces were able to remain calm, but the Blood Tiger Gang couldn't sit still, which is why Peng Hu took the initiative to come to the door.

Even if Peng Hu wasn’t here today, there would be other gang leaders, clan leaders, and sect masters coming.

It's all just calculation.

Li Rui was able to win not because of his resourcefulness or bravery.

But it’s because the backing is strong enough.

When dealing with underworld people, the first thing is to make them afraid, otherwise it will be useless no matter how good you are at handling things.

"Boss Peng, it's been a year since we last met. Why are you here in Qinghe?"

Li Rui took a sip of tea.

Peng Hu could only be patient.

He felt secretly embarrassed. To be honest, he didn't remember Li Rui at all.

If my subordinates hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten it completely.

How could he, a dignified seventh-rank deputy gang leader, care about an old man, the deputy leader of the Qinghe branch of the Tiandi League?

Of course, now the positions are reversed and he is the one asking for help.

Peng Hu was secretly surprised.

"I didn't expect that the last time I saw him, he was an inconspicuous old man hiding in the crowd, but now he has become a patrolman of the An Ning Guard."

The patrol itself is not scary.

If it were a contest of physical strength, he was confident that he could easily kill the old man in front of him.

But the patrol officer is like an imperial envoy of the court, representing the will of Ning Zhongtian, Jiang Linxian, and even General Xue, which is very powerful.

Can not afford to offend.

"Lord Li has a good memory. Qinghe is building a new city and there are many things to take care of, so I came here."

Li Rui nodded.

When he was in the armory, he didn't read so many books in vain.

He was very familiar with the situation of Anning Prefecture and even the famous seventh-rank and above people in Yunzhou, not to mention the people in Qinghe.

You're just asking even though you already know the answer.

"Boss Peng, I've often heard that the leader of the Blood Tiger Gang is famous in Anning Prefecture for his Blood Tiger Knife. I'm really fascinated by it."

Peng Hu laughed and said, "The leader's Blood Tiger Knife is indeed powerful, but it is still inferior to the Knife of Leader Ning."

He decisively sat up and supported the protagonist.

The goal today is to make Li Rui happy.

In this way, the matter will not be brought to the attention of Ning Zhongtian or Jiang Linxian.

Ming Guangzong and Qingfeng Villa can hold on, but his Blood Tiger Gang would never dare to resist.

You say something, I say something.

We chatted for a while.

Seeing that Peng Hu was really frustrated, Li Rui finally showed some kindness.

"Boss Peng, our Tiandi League and the Blood Tiger Gang have been neighbors for many years. It is inevitable that there will be some bumps and bruises. Don't take it to heart."

I got this sentence from Li Rui.

Peng Hu suddenly felt his shoulders relax and he became more talkative.

The two chatted until dusk.

Only then did Li Rui send Peng Hu away.

A deputy gang leader called the old man Li Rui "Brother Li" countless times, and was so friendly.

Li Rui looked at Peng Hu's departing back.

There is no wave in my heart from the past to the present.

All the praise I received today was based on this patrol position.

If he took off this skin, he would still be Old Li.

“Practice.”

Li Rui's life was not affected too much. He ate as usual and practiced martial arts as usual.

A few days later.

More and more forces from Qinghe came to visit Li Rui.

The first one always gets preferential treatment.

Those who came after him did not receive the same treatment as Peng Hu. They often met two, three, or even more people at a time.

Li Rui's attitude is also very clear.

That is forgiveness.

Of course, they didn't talk about serious matters, but just some anecdotes or martial arts experiences.

Instead, it reassures these old foxes.

They all left satisfied.

A full half month passed before the Li residence showed signs of peace.

This day.

Li Rui specially found a set of the most decent clothes, and while getting dressed, he said to Wang Zhao outside: "Xiao Zhao, you may not come back for dinner today, you and Lao Yang can eat by yourselves."

After saying that, he strode out the door.

He did not go to the Tiger Cavalry camp as usual, but turned and walked towards a big house.

Boom, boom, boom!
There were loud knocks on the vermilion door.

soon.

The door opened a crack and a pretty little maid stuck her head out.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?"

Li Rui was immediately delighted.

This Ning garrison commander changes women even faster than he changes clothes.

I have never seen this little maid before, she is obviously new.

Look at the age of the little maid.

It's not an exaggeration to call him grandpa.

"I'm here to see Master Ning."

"Master Ning?"

The little maid blinked and her face flushed with shame, as if she was thinking of something.

Just as she was about to ask again, she suddenly heard a soft cry.

Ning Zhongtian picked her up from behind.

"Brother Li, you are new here and don't know much. Please come in."

Li Rui clasped his fists and said, "Boss Ning."

Ning Zhongtian let go of the maid and led Li Rui into the main hall.

As soon as the two of them sat down.

Ning Zhongtian looked at Li Rui with a half-smile: "Brother Li, you have done a good job these days. Lord Jiang really didn't make a mistake in choosing you."

Of course, it was not Jiang Linxian who chose Li Rui, but him.

But the credit should still be attributed to Jiang Linxian, this is the self-awareness as a subordinate.

Li Rui smiled slightly.

He had already expected Ning Zhongtian to say this.

He didn't reply, but took out an exquisite booklet from the secret pocket of his sleeve.

"Ning, these are the things that people sent me recently. I have compiled them into a book. I want to send them directly to your house, or..."

Ning Zhongtian looked at the booklet in Li Rui's hand and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"As expected of an elder, you really do things in a particular way."

He secretly praised it.

In the past few days, Li Rui's door was almost broken down by the major forces in Qinghe City. With such a big commotion, how could no one know about it?

Li Rui successfully resolved the trouble caused by Tan Hu, which was a great achievement.

But if Li Rui really took all the things into his pocket, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among others, which might even include Ning Zhongtian himself and Jiang Linxian.

He was still curious about what decision Li Rui would make.

Unexpectedly, Li Rui would give away this huge fortune so quickly.

And it can be seen from the compilation that this was the intention from the beginning.

“What a great character!”

The gifts given by these underworld forces, when added together, are not a small amount.

But Li Rui was so calm and had no intention of keeping it for himself.

Called a big courage.

Ning Zhongtian couldn't help but admire him.

"Very good. I'll keep this booklet for now. I'll leave the stuff with you for now. I'll take care of it myself."

Same as Li Rui.

He also has a boss, Jiang Linxian.

It was not up to him to decide how to deal with these things, so he had to ask Jiang Linxian in the end.

Those deputy sect leaders, deputy clan leaders, deputy gang leaders and the like actually wanted to please Jiang Linxian.

Li Rui smiled slightly: "Yes."

The more Ning Zhongtian looked at Li Rui, the more he liked him.

In just half a month, he had made up for most of the troubles caused by Tan Hu, and he was still able to remain calm in the face of huge wealth.

"If a person is really old, he will treasure it and do things properly."

Ning Zhongtian looked at Li Rui with a higher opinion. He felt that supporting Li Rui for the promotion this time was like rolling a dice. He didn't have much expectation, but he actually won.

"Brother Li, you can't lose out on this matter. How about this? I heard that you still owe Wei Ming a great deed, so make up for it with this reward."

Li Rui was delighted: "Thank you, Ningtou."

He owed Wei Ming a great favor for buying the dragon's blood, and he always kept it in mind.

I had originally planned to pay it back slowly over time, but I didn't expect Ning Zhongtian to just wave his hand and write it off.

The joy of accident!

Ning Zhongtian waved his hand and said, "Brother Li, you have helped me a lot."

He was a garrison guard.

I am very busy with affairs and have to deal with big shots like gang leaders and clan leaders. It is impossible for me to do everything myself, nor can I lower myself to talk to them.

Now that we have Li Rui to help us, we can rest assured about many things.

A calm and reliable subordinate is a rare commodity.

Ning Zhongtian chuckled and said, "Brother Li, if Feng Yu and the others come to you, you must not agree."

Don't think about it.

Li Rui's deeds will soon be known to the other garrisons.

Just as he had just thought, talents like Li Rui are hard to find even with a lantern.

Only with rich life experience can things be done so beautifully.

In the military camp, most seventh-rank warriors were obsessed with practicing martial arts and neglected accidents, resulting in there being not many such people.

Li Rui understood: "I am still the deputy leader of the Tiandi League, don't worry, Ning."

Ning Zhongtian was even happier.

It was really comforting to have such subordinates, and it touched his heart.

"The deputy leader is not worthy of Brother Li, why not become the deputy leader?"
