Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 267 The situation is tense
A quarter of an hour later.

Li Rui was no longer seen in the hall.

Several people looked at each other.

Zhou Ting looked at Li Rui who agreed readily and left with a smile. He felt a little uncertain for a moment and broke the silence:

"Do you think he is trying to buy time?"

Such a big piece of fat meat can be thrown away just like that.

I really am willing to do so.

If something like this happened to you, even if you have to admit defeat in the end, at least you cannot refuse to resist, or even just accept it with a smile.

This made him wonder whether Li Rui had other intentions.

Shi Zhou and Bai Jing did not answer, but just squinted their eyes and looked at Li Rui's departing back.

After a long time.

Shi Zhou then slowly spoke: "It shouldn't be a trick. Even if he can drag it out today, it will be the same in the future. The situation today will be the same no matter who comes."

To be fair.

If he were in Li Rui's situation, he would be equally helpless.

What can I do?
The opponent is stronger than himself in both strength and background, and there is no solution at all. Moreover, this time they are targeting the monster business, but they no longer have Tie Kuang to support them.

Li Rui's biggest backer is Jiang Linxian.

It's just the Huaqing Sect, they really don't take it seriously.

Shi Zhou thought about it and felt that he could only admit defeat like Li Rui did.

At most, they can't be so free and easy. After all, it is a business that they have worked hard to run, and it must have taken a lot of effort. Now the money they earn every day makes these big guys jealous, and they actually say they will give up just like that.

'He's a character.'

He secretly praised himself in his heart, thinking that he had underestimated Li Rui.

Only those who can bend and stretch can be called a real man.

With Li Rui's character, he would have surely become a great hero if he was born in troubled times. It's a pity that he was born in the peaceful and prosperous Yu State.

Can it be considered as being born at the wrong time?

Shi Zhou was amused by his own weird thoughts.

"Who cares if he's a hero or a tyrant? I've already secured this deal today."

Even if Li Rui behaves strangely, we will just deal with him as he moves.

How can a great sect be led by a tiny Tiandi Alliance?
He stood up and clasped his fists towards the county magistrate Zhong Zheng: "Master Zhong, the things we promised will be delivered to your mansion today. Goodbye."

Say it.

Shi Zhou strode towards the door.

I suddenly felt better.

He still remembered that Li Rui beat up his people, causing him to lose face in Shenbing Villa.

All the losses he suffered from Li Rui before were now returned to him.

"Brother Li, how are you?"

Tan Hu was standing outside. When he saw Li Rui coming out, he hurried to greet him.

Just now he saw that the people in the lobby of the county government were not easy to deal with, and he was afraid that Li Rui would suffer a loss in there.

Li Rui laughed and said, "They are all well-known people. What can go wrong?"

Reputation is a good thing.

Especially for these large groups, they valued them even more. Even if they wanted to rob, they would use their power to coerce others. At worst, they would find a deserted place to do it, so as not to do something that would harm others openly, let alone such stupid things as harming the officials of the imperial court.

Hearing this, Tan Hu finally felt relieved.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm glad you're okay."

He followed Li Rui all the way out of the county government office.

Just left the county government office.

Then Liang He trotted forward and asked, "Master, what's going on?"

Li Rui smiled slightly: "They should be able to send the goods back today."

Liang He breathed a sigh of relief.

"When Master comes to take action, there is nothing he cannot accomplish."

But Li Rui's next words made Liang He dumbfounded: "By the way, take the people from Shenbing Villa, Daoxuan Sect and Baizhanmen with you on this business trip, and take them to meet Puda."

Puda was the monster dealer introduced by Dao Mo.

He has a great reputation in Wu Kingdom.

The supply for the Tiandi Alliance’s monster business is provided by Puda.

To act as a matchmaker between the three major clans and Puda is to hand over the monster business to the three major clans.

Liang He blushed: "Master."

Li Rui smiled and looked at Liang He: "Why, do you feel aggrieved?"

Liang He was a little hesitant, but still nodded: "Yes, a little."

He has put a lot of effort into doing business.

It’s hard to accept that I have to give in now.

"It's right to feel aggrieved. We are not royal relatives. We earn as much as we can. How can we not tolerate being wronged when we run a business?"

Liang He was silent.

After a long time, he spoke: "Master is right."

Li Rui laughed and said, "Okay, let's do it."

Watching Liang He leave.

Tan Hu then spoke up: "Brother Li, if you need it, I know some swordsmen. If nothing else, I can just hit them with a few clubs to vent my anger."

He knew about Li Rui's Tiandimeng business.

At first he really thought that everything was fine, but he didn't expect that Li Rui had been in there for just a short while and had a large piece of flesh gouged out by the three major sects.

He must be heartbroken.

"You're my eldest brother, so he's very steady."

Li Rui rolled his eyes: "Don't cause trouble for me."

Do you really think those big guys can be provoked at will?
Then he walked towards the Municipal Trade Bureau with his hands behind his back.

This is the only way to do things today.

His surname is neither Long nor Ye, and he is not the Son of the Plane.

There is no way to summon a meteorite to kill Shi Zhou and the other two, and there are not so many magic tricks in the world.

The normal way is to admit it honestly. Now that the three major groups have joined forces, it is not shameful to admit that you are a coward.

Although he has the support of the Lord of Dragon Court behind him, if he relies on this for everything, something bad will happen sooner or later.

The key lies in the Tiandi Alliance itself.

The reason why he allowed the three major clans to enter the market was, firstly, to expand the market for the monster business, and secondly, to strengthen the Tiandi Alliance.

Ever since he started the monster business, he knew that the Tiandi Alliance could not take over everything.

Even if they had connections with the emperor, the Tiandi Alliance’s own strength was not strong enough to do that.

The reason why they have been able to stay in power for so long is all thanks to the failure of Shenbing Villa last time, which made the other major clans unable to figure out the details for a while.

When you look at things, you should see more of what you can see.

Otherwise, if you only focus on what you have lost, you will be troubled every day.

Moreover, both the Tiandi Alliance and he have actually gained benefits far beyond their own, so they should be content.

This is the experience Li Rui gained from working as a groom for decades. Simply put, it is to find joy in suffering.

But the door is important.

More importantly, he has broken through to the fifth level and has the confidence to do business with major companies.

It just lacks a proper opportunity to be revealed.

With strength to rely on, there is no need to panic. After all, what you lose now can be regained in the future.

In the final analysis, as your strength increases, your mind will naturally become more open.

It was noon that day.

The goods of the Tiandi League were sent back by County Magistrate Zhong Zheng.

He even specifically instructed his men to apologize in public.

It can be said that it gives enough face.

Seeing this, some forces who were watching the fun gave up the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation.

Didn’t you see that the county government couldn’t do anything to the Tiandi Alliance and had to laugh at it in the end, let alone them?

Of course, Zhong Zheng was not really afraid of the Tiandi Alliance.

Instead, they wanted the red-scaled fish in Li Rui's hand. Although he was the one who did it, it was essentially a matter between the three major sects and the Tiandi Alliance, and there was still a chance to ease the situation.

"He really wants the red-scaled fish." Li Rui looked at the county official who was even trying to please him, with a slight smile on his face.

Just ask for something.

If he had no desires or demands, how could he control it?

Not only County Magistrate Zhong Zheng, but also Shi Zhou and the other two were the same.

The main thing is that he is not a hermit monk who is isolated from the world. He can always break through from other aspects. He can't afford to offend the big sect, nor does he need to provoke it. He just needs to control the elders stationed in Qinghe.

You can’t afford to offend the big clan, but you can’t deal with a fifth-rank martial artist who has a wife, children, relatives, clans, and disciples?
Li Rui is still somewhat confident about this.

Business doesn't have to be all about fighting and killing.

How unlucky.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes and smiled: "By the way, Xiaohe, take some silver from the warehouse and go to Tianji Pavilion to check the details of Elder Bai of Daoxuan Sect and Elder Zhou of Baizhan Sect."

"it is good."

Liang He nodded.

Tianji Pavilion is a well-known intelligence dealer in the State of Yu. Its intelligence network spreads all over the world, but its fees are too high.

Li Rui had already bought Shi Zhou's information before, and he had a relationship with Tie Kuang, so he had no worries about the solution, but the other two would require more thought.

The thought of spending thousands of taels of silver makes me feel depressed.

Can't help but sigh.

No matter what era, information asymmetry is always the most valuable thing.

It’s good that the three major companies have entered the market.

Do you really think that you can kick the Tiandi Alliance out in this way?

Dark night, at the military mansion.

"Senior Xu."

Jiang Linxian looked at the candlelight in the room on the west side of the yard and knocked on the door.

The door was pushed open with a creak.

Seeing Xu Xuan behind the door, Jiang Linxian showed a rare look of helplessness on her face: "Senior is finally back."

Xu Xuan stood behind the door and chuckled: "You are quite quick to react."

Jiang Linxian: "Senior, didn't we agree that I could send someone to investigate? Why did you go there yourself?"

If Xu Xuan was killed by the Nine Souls Dharma King in Mangone City, he would not know how to explain to Gu Jianzheng.

but.

Although Xu Xuan promised not to be reckless, he only stayed in Qinghe for two days, then left the city without telling him, and only returned now.

"Is there really such a thing as an old child?"

Jiang Linxian was lost in thought.

Why did he remember that Xu Xuan used to be known for his steadiness, but as he got older, he became impulsive.

"I couldn't stay idle, so I went to take a look at Mangu City."

"Come in, I have something to say to you."

Xu Xuan turned sideways.

Hearing this, Jiang Linxian walked in.

Xu Xuan motioned for Jiang Linxian to sit down, then he sat opposite her and spoke slowly: "The Nine Soul Dharma King is indeed in Mangu City, but yesterday, I saw him leave the city."

Jiang Linxian narrowed her eyes slightly:
"Out of town?"

Xu Xuan nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, he has already entered Yunzhou. Judging from the direction, he is heading towards Qinghe."

Jiang Linxian's heart sank.

The Nine Soul Dharma King, a powerful earthly immortal.

It is not difficult to massacre a city and create a sea of ​​blood.

Qinghe, danger!

Xu Xuan looked at Jiang Linxian with some excitement: "This is a perfect opportunity to kill him."

Jiang Linxian was silent.

He didn't think that he and Xu Xuan, who was suffering from the Five Degenerations of Heavenly Beings, could kill an earthly immortal in his prime.

Xu Xuan laughed and stopped talking about the Nine Souls Dharma King: "Young people are really to be feared. You and Xiao Gu are both capable of being banished immortals. It makes people feel ashamed and envious of you."

Jiang Linxian knew.

The "Little Gu" that Xu Xuan mentioned is the owner of the Wenxian Tower and current director of the Imperial Observatory, Gu Changsheng.

The name "Eternal Life" shows how lofty his ambitions were.

Although he and Gu Changsheng had only met once.

Even Jiang Linxian was amazed by Gu Changsheng's extraordinary talent.

Xu Xuan continued: "Xiao Gu is very optimistic about you. He said that there are three and a half people in the world who share the same path as you, and you are half of them."

Jiang Linxian listened quietly.

The half that Gu Changsheng recognized was enough to make all the heroes in the world envious and jealous.

Because the other three are the best in the world, the most outstanding figures in the world.

"senior."

Jiang Linxian was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xu Xuan:

"It is me and Xiao Gu who want to kill the Nine Soul Dharma King."

"When he left the capital, he specifically asked me to do something, and for that the boy even bowed to me."

When Xu Xuan thought of Gu Changsheng bowing to him, he laughed even louder.

"He asked me to be your sword whetstone."

I heard the words "sharpen the sword".

Jiang Linxian frowned slightly.

Xu Xuan smiled even more, even a little crazy: "I am also unlucky. There are so many skills in the Wenxian Tower, but I chose the Huangting Xuanjing. I was born to be a sword sharpening stone for others."

"I am the only one who can sharpen your sword."

Jiang Linxian's pupils contracted slightly.

He understood instantly.

There is no trump card or killer move.

The trump card is Xu Xuan himself, or rather, him, Jiang Linxian.

Xu Xuan's eyes burst into fire:
"time is limited."

"I will help you ascend to heaven today!"

It doesn't matter to Xu Xuan whether he can become an immortal or not, as long as there are immortals in the world, otherwise why would he want to turn Huang Ting?
Isn’t it just that I wish all the geniuses in the world could ascend to heaven!

Suddenly, there was a golden light, and there seemed to be the sound of a dragon and a phoenix singing.

Municipal Trade Bureau, the backyard of a shop.

Madam Ling Luo looked up at the moonlight in the sky.

The bright moon moves eastward.

"It's almost time."

She opened her mouth slowly, with the corners of her thin lips slightly raised, as if she was thinking of something interesting.

At this time.

Yuan Gao came over and said, "The King of Dharma is already ten miles outside the city. What are you going to do?"

He looked at the charming woman in front of him.

In three days, An Ningwei will return to the camp.

Madam Ling Luo felt better when she heard that the Nine Soul Dharma King had arrived in Qinghe.

"Elder Yuan, it's almost time to set off."

Madam Ling Luo walked out the door with a smile on her face, and the two of them walked all the way to the mountains outside the city.

What appeared before Yuan Gao's eyes were countless monsters.

The evil spirit is soaring!

He looked at this scene and took a breath: "What on earth are you going to do?"

"What?"

Madam Ling Luo's laughter became even more charming, even a little crazy: "Of course it's to attack the city."

There was no clever plan. She had already planned to use her power to overwhelm others from the very beginning.

Others don’t dare.

What is there for her, a rebel from the Wu Kingdom, to be afraid of?

Looking at Madam Ling Luo, Yuan Gao murmured:
"Crazy, this woman is crazy!"
