Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 226 Xia Xiaotang's Wisdom
"Ok?"

Li Rui suddenly turned his head and looked at the crowd.

"Brother Li, what's wrong?"

Ning Zhongtian noticed Li Rui's abnormality and asked.

"nothing."

Li Rui shook his head, seemingly thinking about something.

At this time, several acquaintances walked out of the crowd and interrupted his thoughts.

Dao Mo came up to him with a laugh: "Brother Li, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I should at least give you a 20% discount."

As he spoke, he pulled Li Rui into the Wuguo shop nearby.

These are officials and businessmen from the Wu Kingdom.

It is directly under the management of the Wu Kingdom delegation, and all the members of the Wu Kingdom delegation now live here.

As soon as you walk into the shop.

Then I saw Xia Xiaotang and several other people from the Wu Kingdom delegation, and they all gave me friendly looks.

They all saw it.

If Li Rui hadn't been there for this escort, it would not just be the loss of the goods, but also the loss of lives.

Although I paid double the money, this was absolutely perfect compared to the other two ports.

All this happened because of Li Rui, they all saw it.

A Wu country man laughed heartily:
"Brother Li will always be Wu Country's most loyal friend. When Brother Li goes to Wu Country in the future, if anyone dares to speak loudly to my eldest brother, I will be the first to chop him to death with my sword!"

"."

Li Rui blinked.

This always sounds weird.

Moreover, as an officer of the Yu State, there was probably only one possibility for him to go to the Wu State - fleeing for fear of punishment.

It’s better not to go.

Dao Mo smiled and kicked Dao Meng: "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."

But as Dao Meng said, they have already regarded Li Rui as a friend.

It is easiest to establish true friendship in times of adversity, and this is unavoidable even if the two countries are in different countries.

Ning Zhongtian looked at this scene.

blinked.

I secretly praised in my heart: "My elder brother is really capable."

The people of Wu have always been known for their unruly nature. Although they are not like the northern barbarians who become mortal enemies as soon as they meet, it is still rare for the people of Yu to become friends with the people of Wu.

But he was a good brother and he did it.

What does this mean?
Good brother, you have great abilities!

Ning Zhongtian suddenly felt that becoming sworn brothers with Li Rui was an extremely correct decision.

Li Rui laughed and said, "I am just doing my best."

Dao Mo said seriously: "Let's put it this way. Brother Li was doing this for official business, but he helped us a lot. We will always remember this favor in our hearts."

Li Rui was no longer modest.

Because he will indeed be able to use these people in the future.

He asked Ning Zhongtian to come to the Municipal Trade Bureau today.

One was to try his luck and see if he could find any clues, and the other was to come here specifically to meet Dao Mo and his men.

He avoided me before, but now he comes to me on his own initiative.

Why?

Of course, it’s because the Tiandi Alliance’s business documents have been approved.

Anyway, after that incident, the relationship has been established.

Simply avoiding it will only lead to a lower level.

It would be better to take this opportunity to help.

The caravan of the Tiandi Alliance wanted to do business in the Wu Kingdom. Even though the leaders of the two countries tried their best to promote it, when it came down to it, they had to have someone in the local area to protect them, and the people from the Wu Kingdom delegation were just the right people.

Li Rui brought Ning Zhongtian with him to get to know him in advance, and never mentioned the Tiandi Alliance.

If he had asked today, Dao Mo would definitely agree, but the friendship between the two would definitely be severed. What could have become a long-lasting friendship ended up being a one-time deal.

Of course I wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Dao Mo asked, "Brother Li, if you want to buy something at the market today, just give it to me."

He is now the chief envoy of the Wu Kingdom caravan.

The shops must give this little bit of face.

What's more, he paid for 50% of the goods, the caravan paid for 30%, and the Municipal Trade Bureau paid for 20%. He was the biggest boss.

Li Rui smiled and shook his head:

"No, I'm here for a case."

After hearing about the case, the Wu Kingdom envoys immediately became interested: "We have a clue so soon?"

Li Rui continued to shake his head:

"It's just a matter of luck. We've ruined someone else's good fortune. They will most likely send someone to the market to check. Maybe we can get something."

Dao Mo nodded in agreement:
"reasonable."

However, he was not optimistic that Li Rui could catch the criminal on the spot.

Apart from the Wu Kingdom caravan, there were several thousand people coming to the Municipal Trade Market this time. The prince's men must have been in disguise, so trying to find them in the crowd would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, it is impossible for Li Rui to mobilize too many people and make too much noise.

Afterwards, Li Rui found a seat by the window on the second floor.

From here you can see the scene of the street below, which is an excellent observation point.

While observing, he chatted with several members of the Wu Kingdom delegation.

just now.

Dao Mo finally had the opportunity to ask the questions in his heart:

"Master Li, how did you sense the danger in advance?"

Li Rui smiled.

"Because I asked people to place traps in the mountains and forests along the official road in advance. I have good hearing, and once it is triggered, you can hear it three miles away."

Dao Mo suddenly understood.

No wonder Li Rui said he had summoned two hundred soldiers, but in the end we only saw one hundred and forty or fifty of them at most. It turned out that the rest were sent out to set up the traps.

Several people from Wu State were surprised:
"You still have this ability?"

The sound could be heard from three miles away. This method is extremely rare.

Li Rui looked modest and said, "Don't be too ostentatious."

Listen to the sound from three miles away?

Of course he wouldn't, he just got all the fabricated inspiration from the pig-shaped Lord Chai.

You can't say that he has a keen eye and can foresee danger, right?
Everyone in the hall was amazed at Li Rui's meticulous mind and great skills.

With this mindset and means, why worry about not being able to succeed?
"The State of Yu is truly full of talented people."

Dao Mo looked at Li Rui and was secretly amazed.

In a small Qinghe, there is a talent like Li Rui. Looking at the entire Yu Kingdom, the strong are really like crucian carp crossing the river. He felt sad.

The Witch Kingdom once had such a glorious moment, but unfortunately several Witch Kings died suddenly in succession, causing the country's fortunes to decline, and now it is on the verge of falling apart.

Let’s look at the State of Yu.

In the middle of the day!

Dao Mo couldn't help but feel even more envious. If Li Rui hadn't been an official of the Yu State, he would really want to recruit Li Rui to be an official of the Wu State.

Li Rui sat there for half a day.

The envoys from the Wu Kingdom each had their own things to do, so they went downstairs one after another to do their work. Soon, only Dao Mo and a girl from the Wu Kingdom were left on the second floor.

Dang Dao Mo also went downstairs.

Only Li Rui, Ning Zhongtian and the girl from Wu Country were left on the second floor.

Li Rui turned his head.

Looking at the girl from the Wu Kingdom who was sitting in the corner and had not spoken a word.

Although he didn't look back, he could feel that the young man from the Wu Kingdom named Tang Xiaoxia had been secretly looking at him.

The two people's eyes happened to collide in mid-air.

Xia Xiaotang turned her head to the side, her cheeks slightly red.

Li Rui couldn't help but feel confused.

Girl blushing?

Because of love?

But Li Rui could never have imagined that he would actually feel fear from the girl from the Wu Kingdom in front of him.

'Why should she be afraid of me?'

Li Rui was puzzled.

'Am I scarier than her saber-toothed black tiger?'

The atmosphere suddenly became weird.

A full stick of incense had passed.

Xia Xiaotang curled up in the corner, muttering something, as if to cheer herself up.

Ning Zhongtian instinctively found this scene funny.

"Brother Li, you are still as charming as ever."

He just thought it was the girl's admiration.

at last.

Xia Xiaotang mustered up his courage, stood up, and walked forward:

"I want to be alone with Master Li for a while."

Ning Zhongtian looked as if he understood, and walked down the stairs with a smile, saying as he walked down the stairs:

"You guys talk, you guys talk."

soon.

Li Rui and Xia Xiaotang were the only ones left on the second floor. There was a long silence at first.

Before Xia Xiaotang could speak.

Li Rui said first: "Envoy Tang, is there anything?"

Xia Xiaotang was stunned.

She blinked her big beautiful eyes again and again, looked at Li Rui in disbelief, and blurted out:

"How did you know?"

But she regretted it later, because by saying that, she was confirming that it was the envoy's fault.

Li Rui smiled slightly:
“It’s not hard to guess.”

Although Dao Mo and the other people hid themselves very well, they had been together for two days after all, and in Li Rui's eyes, he could still see through every little detail.

These people all secretly respect the girl from the Wu Kingdom in front of them.

So guessing the identity becomes easy.

Xia Xiaotang sighed lightly, and without any hesitation, she directly revealed her identity: "I am not deliberately concealing it. I am indeed the leader of this delegation. In addition, my name is not Tang Xiaoxia, but Xia Xiaotang."

'Xia Xiaotang.'

"summer"

Li Rui uttered this word softly, thinking about something in his mind and making vague guesses.

The surname Xia is not simple in the Wu Kingdom, it has the same meaning as the surname Zhu in the Yu Kingdom.

It is the royal surname.

Although not all people with the surname Zhu are royal family members, they could be cooks, but since his surname is Xia and he is the leader of the Wu Kingdom delegation, it is hard not to make associations.

Xia Xiaotang gave a direct answer: "Yes, I am of royal blood, but my lineage has long been desolate and not noble."

"I see."

Li Rui nodded.

Then he returned to the original question: "Is there anything that Envoy Xia needs?"

Xia Xiaotang took a deep breath and his expression became more serious than ever before.

She spoke slowly:
"Master Li, please tell me what is your relationship with the Beast God?"

Beast god?

Now it was Li Rui's turn to be confused.

What the hell?
He originally thought that Xia Xiaotang wanted to discuss with him some secrets concerning the top leaders of the Wu Kingdom.

I didn't expect the statement to be so shocking.

What kind of existence is the Beast God?
Let’s put it this way, the royal family of the Wu Kingdom claims to be descendants of the Beast God, and there are at least tens of thousands of sculptures of the Beast God in the Wu Kingdom alone.

"I?"

"Beast God?"

Li Rui was confused for a moment.

Xia Xiaotang was very firm: "My companion beast is not a saber-toothed black tiger, but a jade-water golden-eyed beast. It can see things that ordinary people cannot see. In you, I see the shadow of the beast god."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Green Water and Golden Eyed Beast, just by hearing the name, you can tell that it has some kind of strange eyes.

Able to see things that ordinary people cannot see.

But Li Rui knew it too well.

He has nothing to do with the Beast God at all.

Before he could speak.

Xia Xiaotang seemed to have thought of something, his pupils suddenly dilated, and then he fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, muttering to himself.

"I understand."

"I understand."

The little face suddenly lifted up, and the big eyes were frighteningly bright.

"You are the reincarnation of the Beast God!"
