Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 315: No Waste Skills

This day.

Li Rui was practicing martial arts in the room.

Suddenly.

There was a knock on the door.

Li Rui opened his eyes, got out of bed and pushed open the door.

This is the military officer's residence, no longer the old house. There is Tan Hu and his Benhu Cavalry guarding the door. Only close friends can knock on the door to the inner room.

Open the door.

Then I saw Liu Tong standing outside the door.

"Alliance leader."

Seeing Li Rui, Liu Tong called out to him with some excitement.

"It's Xiao Liu. Why are you back from Yunzhou?"

Liu Tong took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then forced a smile: "Alliance leader, I came all the way to see you."

"I do have a heart for it. Come in."

Li Rui looked at Liu Tong with a smile.

Then he invited us into the house for tea.

Liu Tong sat down and absentmindedly drank the tea that Li Rui had poured for him. Seeing that Li Rui was smiling and had no intention of mentioning that matter, he could not help but ask, "Alliance leader, this opportunity is rare and will never come back. Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce is already interested in forming an alliance with a major clan. If we delay any longer, we will have no chance."

Li Rui's expression did not change at all.

Therefore, he had long guessed that Liu Tong hurried back from Yunzhou in person just for the matter of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.

He took a sip of tea and then spoke:
"Xiao Liu, what do you think of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce?"

Liu Tong groaned for a moment and answered truthfully, "They are financially strong and their business is all over Yu State, but they may look down on our Tiandi Alliance. Doing business with them is quite risky, but it's worth a try."

He did not blindly praise the other party in order to match the business between Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce and Tiandi Alliance.

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised:

"Go on."

Liu Tong: "The Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce came to Yunzhou this time for the business of Wu Country. Our alliance has a good relationship with Wu Country, so we can use this as capital to cooperate with the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce."

This time, he didn't mention anything about the noble lady from Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.

Li Rui nodded with satisfaction:
"I have made progress, that's good."

After receiving Li Rui's praise, Liu Tong felt a little embarrassed: "Alliance leader, I was impatient."

Li Rui: "In business, when the time comes to make a move, you should make the move, but you need to understand the full picture of the matter before you do so. Otherwise, you would rather miss out than bring consequences upon yourself."

Liu Tong's expression brightened up.

Listen carefully.

Li Rui is going to review the situation for him.

"Xiao Liu, since you have already learned about the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, do you know who is the owner behind this Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce?"

Liu Tong was stunned, then shook his head obediently:
"I don't know."

Li Rui smiled slightly: "It's Dingyuan Hou."

When Liu Tong heard the words "Marquis Dingyuan", his pupils shrank slightly.

"Xiao Liu, in this world, all the chambers of commerce that can expand their business have connections in the government behind them. You should understand this principle."

"I am the one behind the Tiandi League, and Dingyuan Hou is behind the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce. Do you think this business can still be done?"

Liu Tong was speechless for a moment.

He has some friendship with the noble lady of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.

But as Li Rui once said, technological victory can never make up for strategic deficiencies.

Everyone in Yunzhou knows that Li Rui is Jiang Linxian’s good friend and a confirmed member of Lin’s party.

But Lord Dingyuan is the leader of the Xuan Party.

Party struggles have always been the cruelest.

If the Tiandi Alliance cooperates with the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce will be completely wiped out given its strength.

There was no chance of resistance at all, it was like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

He was a little scared for a moment.

The naive face of the noble lady from Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce appeared in my mind.

The most poisonous woman’s heart!

Liu Tong immediately understood that the other party was not after his body but his money. He often walked by the river without getting his feet wet, so it was obvious that he had been fooled by a woman.

And he knew nothing about these things.

"What a deep scheming."

His face became extremely ugly.

The experience in Yunzhou came to mind, and only then did he realize that he had fallen into someone's trap without realizing it.

Li Rui just drank tea quietly.

It did not interrupt Liu Tong's thinking.

Every failure makes one wiser. Now is a critical time for Liu Tong's growth. As his elder, of course I have to help him.

In fact, Liu Tong has done a very good job.

But the position you stand in is not high enough, so you are bound to be blinded.

There's nothing we can do about it.

The information gap is an insurmountable chasm, and very few people in the world know about this.

The reason why he knew this was because of his connections in the Marquis' Mansion.

At most, he is just more tolerant than Liu Tong.

But this is not a reason for Liu Tong to make a wrong choice. The business world is like a battlefield. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. Li Rui wants to see the results, not the excuses for failure.

He wanted to tell Liu Tong this.

The human heart is far more sinister than he imagined.

Liu Tong sighed softly: "Thank you for your guidance, leader."

He is very smart. He was just blinded by the huge profits before. Now he has figured it out. Li Rui is deliberately giving him advice and really treats him as a junior.

Otherwise, with Li Rui's temper, he wouldn't say a single word more.

Liu Tong couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Having an elder to guide you is a great blessing, which is beyond asking for, and there is no thought of being embarrassed by it. Li Rui: "As a young man, it is good to suffer more losses. If you still suffer losses every day at my age, it will be troublesome."

Liu Tong smiled knowingly.

The depression in his chest was swept away: "Alliance leader, I understand. I will no longer have anything to do with Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce."

Li Rui rolled his eyes:
"I still haven't figured it out. It's all in vain to say so much."

Liu Tong was completely confused: "Alliance leader, I really don't understand this."

Li Rui had no choice but to say two more words:

"You lost to Miss Qiao from Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce because of information asymmetry. Now that your information is equal, you can make more friends with her."

"Nothing else in Yunzhou matters."

Click till.

Liu Tong's eyes lit up:
"The leader is wise!"

He has always admired Li Rui's ability to grasp the key points and find the core of the problem every time.

Marquis Dingyuan is Marquis Dingyuan.

But if he could marry Miss Qiao, then they would be a family, and that would truly be the best of both worlds.

It is difficult to be an enemy, but it is not easy to be a friend.

What Liu Tong is best at is making friends, especially girlfriends.

Liu Tong was full of fighting spirit for a while, and vowed to go back to Yunzhou to fight Miss Qiao for another three hundred rounds. Moreover, this time he knew the inside story, and he would not necessarily lose since my enemy is in the open while my enemy is in the dark.

Looking at Liu Tong who ran out of the military office excitedly.

Li Rui smiled slightly:
"Young is good."

He has always been humble, but he is proud of one thing, that is, he has a pair of eyes that are good at discovering other people's strengths.

So was Liang He, so was Liu Tiezhu, so was Wang Zhao, and so was Liu Tong.

Of course, we should make the most of a natural gigolo body.

There are no useless skills in the world, only useless people.

at dusk.

Li Rui was teaching Yang Yong boxing in the courtyard.

"Old Li, don't lie to me, can this really prolong your life?"

Yang Yong looked at Li Rui's boxing stance with a puzzled look on his face. It was too slow, even worse than those fancy moves, and had no practical value at all.

He was the worst martial artist in the compound, but at least he had once been a guard for the Zhu family and was somewhat proficient in martial arts.

Although he had seen Li Rui practice boxing like this before, he didn't believe that this boxing could help him live longer.

"Stroke, squeeze, press, and pick in full, moving up and down like a wheel. Roll back and forth to attack from the side, a white crane spreads its wings and flies into the sky."

Seeing Yang Yong stop, Li Rui also retracted his fist: "Hey, Old Yang, I can't fool you. This boxing method was created by an old immortal. He relied on this boxing method to defeat all opponents in the world and lived for three or seven generations."

Yang Yong suddenly found him today and asked him to teach him boxing. He said that if he wanted to live a few more years, he must at least see that kid Wang Zhao get married before he could die.

When Li Rui heard this, he immediately became interested.

In the past, Yang Yong always looked indifferent to life and death and didn't care at all about how long he lived. Now that he suddenly wants to live, Li Rui certainly doesn't need to let Yang Yong die easily.

Moreover, it would probably take a long time for Wang Zhao to live to the age where he could get married.

Yang Yong was suspicious: "Really? Why haven't I heard of such an old immortal?"

He also claimed to have heard a lot of stories about the underworld, but he had never heard this episode from a storyteller.

Li Rui patted his chest and said, "Look at me, a living example, how can you not believe it?"

Yang Yong thought about it and decided to practice for a while to see how it goes.

Seeing Yang Yong continue practicing, Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

His boxing style was derived from the Tai Chi created by an old Taoist named Zhang in his previous life, and was created by combining it with the Changchun Kung Fu.

Ordinary people can also practice it.

Nothing special, just keeping fit.

The life span of mortals is determined by heaven and no one can break it, but one can get close to it infinitely. Two sixty years is the maximum life span of mortals, which is more than enough for Yang Yong to live.

This boxing skill only needs to be practiced regularly and supplemented with dietary supplements, and living to be a hundred years old should not be a problem.

Just as Yang Yong was learning boxing from Li Rui move by move.

Tan Hu's voice rang out: "General Nie, why are you here?"

Li Rui immediately understood.

Just as he put away his boxing stance, he saw Nie Siming striding in.

"General Nie."

Li Rui was respectful. Now that Nie Siming had become the admiral, in charge of the two guards, he was his real superior.

Admiral is a military position, so it's okay to call him general.

Nie Siming was a man of swift action. As soon as he saw Li Rui, he said, "Come on, follow me out of the camp."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows.

But since Nie Siming asked him to go, he just went without asking any questions. He picked up the knife beside him and followed Nie Siming out of the camp.

Seeing that Nie Siming was not riding a horse, Li Rui was certain that the destination was within the city.

as predicted.

Nie Siming finally stopped in front of a grand mansion in Qinghe City, or to be more precise, a martial arts school.

Li Rui was a little surprised that Nie Siming actually brought him to Qianhe Martial Arts School alone in the middle of the night.

Nie Siming did not bring his personal guards, so he took on the responsibility of being a personal guard. He walked up to the martial arts school disciple guarding the door and said, "My dear little brother, I am Li Rui, a military officer of Anning Guard, and that is Admiral Nie. We have come to visit Master He."

When the martial arts disciple guarding the gate heard this, he was immediately shocked.

He originally thought that since these two people did not ride in a carriage and did not wear jade pendants, they should be of ordinary status, but he did not expect them to have such important backgrounds.

He did not dare to delay, so he said hello and trotted to the martial arts hall.

Li Rui was not in a hurry and just stood at the door waiting with a smile.

In less than half an incense stick of time, He Qiannian's eldest disciple Xiao Yu came out to greet them personally.

Xiao Yu glanced at Li Rui with a smile on his face. Although the two sides had some unpleasantness before, they were both smart people and would not become mortal enemies because of this.

"Master Nie, Master Li, I am sorry for not welcoming you here today."

He was about to say something polite when Nie Siming interrupted him:

"Lead the way. I have something important to discuss with Master He."
