The Golden Family, rising from the Western Regions

Chapter 113 Balance
Jinque Mountain is a small mountain forty miles northwest of Wuya Village.

At this time, Li Xiao, Xiao Yanyan and their group arrived here in a mighty manner.

Looking at the desolate scene around her, Xiao Yanyan asked in confusion, "This place is quite far from Wuya Village. What are we doing here?"

Li Xiao held it in his arms with one hand and held the reins with the other hand to stop the warhorse.

He laughed and said, "It's sunny and windy today, not too cold, and the scenery here is unique."

"It's just right for us to learn Khitan."

As he spoke, Li Xiao ordered his personal soldiers and Xiao Yanyan's guards to block off the hill as usual.

He rode a horse and rushed to the top of the mountain with Xiao Yanyan.

Standing at the highest point and looking into the distance, all you can see is the beautiful mountains and rivers of Jinzhou.

Moreover, looking to the south, there was no sign of the Eagle Castle cavalry.

So Li Xiao got off his horse, first spread a piece of sheepskin on the grass, then picked up Xiao Yanyan from the horse and threw her on it.

He learned Khitan language very quickly.

Half an hour later, a faint low roar of war horses was heard.

Xiao Yanyan, who was riding a Mercedes, changed her expression and said, "Someone is coming."

Judging from the sound, the number of people coming should be around two to three hundred.

It couldn't be that Xiao Simo sent someone to find me in this remote place, right?
As she said that, Xiao Yanyan was about to use her legs to force her way out, but was stopped by Li Xiao.

Instead, he smiled and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, it's okay."

"My people should be here."

"Don't worry about them, let's continue."

As he said this, he jumped onto the horse and took the initiative.

At this moment, at the foot of the mountain, the Khitan guards looked at the huge group of war horses and cavalry in the distance, all of them looking as if they were facing a great enemy.

On the contrary, Li Xiao's personal guards relaxed a little, and even smiled and comforted the Khitans.

As the large group of cavalry approached, everyone finally saw their appearance clearly.

He was wearing a tattered leather coat, a sheepskin coat on his head, holding a spear, and dressed like a Han Chinese.

The guards all breathed a sigh of relief.

"The people from Feiying Fort have arrived." Tietou said softly.

He was one of the people who knew Li Xiao's plan, so he immediately rode forward to meet him.

Then, Da Hu and two strong men came out of the crowd and asked, "Tietou, where is my brother?"

Tietou shrugged, winked at him and said, "It's on the mountain."

"I advise you not to disturb him for the time being."

Dahu shook his head slightly, smiled helplessly, and let the people of Feiying Fort rest on the spot.

After all, we have been running for such a long time that even the horse is tired.

Not long after, Li Xiao, who had quickly finished the battle, dressed neatly and rode down the mountain on horseback.

At this moment, everyone in Feiying Fort stood up, saluted Li Xiao and shouted, "Greetings, Governor."

Feiying Fort can be considered as Li Xiao's direct force.

After the Battle of Wuya Village, they were subdued by Li Xiao, who destroyed the Wang family, and the remaining forces were continued to be led by the Qian and Zhou families.

During this reorganization, it was divided into two hundred households, one headed by Zhou Dali and the other by Qian Sanbiao from the two families.

Although the shadow left by Li Xiao's massacre of the Wang family was too heavy for them, later on, the two families actually gained a lot of benefits from following Li Xiao.

Therefore, they both respect and fear Li Xiao.

After receiving Li Xiao's order, he immediately rushed to Jinque Mountain to stand by.

"Captain~"

Zhou Dali and Qian Sanbiao came to pay their respects to Li Xiao.

Although both of them were already centurions, they became more respectful in front of Li Xiao than before.

Li Xiao dismounted, straightened his sticky clothes, looked at the two men and said, "Da Li, San Biao, I called you here for only one thing."

"Within three days, I want you to block the thirty-mile area around Jinque Mountain."

"Arrest all those coming to Wuya Village from the northwest."

"Can you complete this task?" Li Xiao looked at the two of them and asked in a serious voice.

He vaguely guessed Xiao Linta's next plan, so he came to try his luck. If it really turned out as he expected.

Then things might become simpler.

Even if he can't be caught, the worst that can happen is that Xiao Simo will scold him.

Anyway, the murder of Wuliji cannot bring down Li Xiao.

"As ordered."

"With us here, we will not let anyone sneak into Wuya Village."

Zhou Dali and Qian Sanbiao pounded their chests with their fists and spoke in a firm voice.

"Okay, take a break and then you can start the action." Li Xiao nodded slightly.

Wang Erhei arrived at Wuya Village two hours ago.

The Uliji tribe was hunted down so badly by Hexi Fort that the first thing they should have considered was saving their lives, and then coming to Wuyazhai to file a complaint.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to arrive before Wang Erhei.

But definitely in the next two or three days.

When Li Xiao returned to the top of the mountain, Xiao Yanyan was lying flat on the grass basking in the sun, covered with clothes and sheepskin, with only a pair of jade-white feet swaying outside.

After hearing the sound of horse hooves, she grabbed the scimitar beside her, slowly opened her eyes, and after seeing that it was Li Xiao, she felt relieved and continued to bask in the sun.

"You mobilized two hundred cavalrymen here. What are you planning to do?" "Don't say you are here to protect us. I don't believe such nonsense." Xiao Yanyan looked at Li Xiao with squinted eyes.

"Hehehe~"

Li Xiao chuckled, dismounted, walked over and lay on the ground, holding Xiao Yanyan in his arms.

He jokingly said, "Of course I'm going to start a mutiny. When your brother passes by here, I'll capture him and force him to marry you to me."

Xiao Yanyan sneered and naturally didn't believe Li Xiao's nonsense.

Then, he pinched Li Xiao's soft flesh with his palm and said viciously: "Stop talking nonsense and tell the truth."

"What are we doing here?"

"Ouch, it hurts, you bitch twisted all my flesh off." Li Xiao howled in pain.

Then he pretended to be submissive and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you what I'll tell you."

Xiao Yanyan is a smart woman and she must have had doubts from the beginning.

After all, if you really want to have a wild battle, you can do it near Wuya Village. The scenery is also nice, so there is no need to run so far.

So, Li Xiao didn't plan to hide it from her.

I just briefly talked about the Uliji tribe.

Although Xiao Linta's name was not mentioned, Xiao Yanyan was smart and had the political sensitivity developed from growing up in the Xiao family, so she quickly figured out the key to the matter.

Her beautiful eyes widened, and she supported her upper body with one arm, half exposing her breasts. She turned to look at Li Xiao and said with an expression of disbelief.

"General Xiao Linta?"

Li Xiao gently rubbed her smooth back with his rough palms, and spoke with his eyes closed facing the sun.

"Is this surprising?"

"It's perfectly normal for Xiao Linta to plot against me."

Xiao Yanyan shook her head helplessly and lay back in Li Xiao's arms.

He said in an angry and helpless tone: "I thought General Xiao Linta was an honest man."

"I didn't expect him~"

Li Xiao opened one eye, looked at her and smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so cruel and ruthless?"

"In order to fight me, you calculated that a thousand households were killed and hundreds of people were killed or injured?"

Xiao Yanyan nodded and sighed heavily.

Li Xiao chuckled: "It's a normal thing."

"You felt he was an honest man before because there was no conflict of interest between him and you and me."

"But now it's different. I've become the biggest obstacle in his goal of becoming the king of Golden State."

"It's no surprise that his true character was revealed."

As he spoke, Li Xiao smiled faintly: "In fact, Xiao Linta's methods are much gentler than I thought."

"If I were in his position, he would do things even more drastically to defeat me, the deputy governor."

Perhaps he was not ruthless enough, or his political tactics were not sophisticated enough, or of course it was also possible that he was concerned about Xiao Yanyan and did not dare to do things too drastically.

"He's gone too far. I'll tell my brother not to be fooled by Xiao Linta's words." Xiao Yanyan said indignantly.

Since she has already followed Li Xiao, she will definitely subconsciously lean towards Li Xiao when considering issues.

Xiao Linta became the bad guy.

Li Xiao grabbed Xiao Yanyan who was about to stand up and shook his head, saying, "Don't go. It's useless."

"Your eldest brother won't take care of this matter."

Xiao Yanyan frowned and asked in disbelief, "Why?"

"My eldest brother loves me very much."

Li Xiao hugged her again and said in a faint voice, "This has nothing to do with you."

"It's that he has to consider the overall situation."

"After all, my influence in Jinzhou is already strong enough. Half of the eight thousand households are my people."

"He directly surpassed Xiao Linta, the Commander-in-Chief."

"This is not the result your eldest brother wants."

What Xiao Simo wanted was a balance, with the two governors checking and balancing each other, and even the chief governor could be stronger than the deputy governor.

But the situation in Jinzhou is the opposite. Li Xiao is much stronger than Xiao Linta.

Therefore, in order to balance the two major forces in Jinzhou, Xiao Simo would only turn a blind eye even if he knew the truth of the matter.

He would even help Xiao Lin beat him.

Xiao Linta also calculated Xiao Simo's thoughts, so he dared to do this.

That's why Li Xiao said that it was useless to explain to Xiao Simo.

Xiao Simo's position is not on Li Xiao's side.

"What should I do? Do you want me to watch you being framed?" Xiao Yanyan said angrily.

"of course not."

Li Xiao grasped her weak spot and said confidently amidst her soft cries, "Although your eldest brother won't accept your flimsy explanation, if you put the evidence before him, he won't be able to refuse."

"Maybe, I can even counter Xiao Linta."

Li Xiao said with a snort.

This guy really thought Li Xiao was a young man who only knew how to fight and kill.

Little did people know that in his previous life, Li Xiao had already mastered these political tactics in workplace struggles.
