Evergreen Immortal - Chapter 259

Greed will lead to trouble.

Li Rui sighed softly.

He almost understood the whole story. In short, Duan Yu wanted to capture the little dragon to take credit, but he failed and angered the old dragon.

Then the monster tide and monster chaos happened.

One person’s greed ended up costing hundreds of lives.

Xia Xiaotang listened.

He was also indignant.

“Damn it, if it weren’t for that greedy person, so many innocent people wouldn’t have died tragically.”

The little dragon didn’t understand human language.

Of course, he didn’t know that the human was Duan Yu, he only knew that he was someone in the military camp. Although Xia Xiaotang was angry, he couldn’t find the culprit.

Li Rui could recognize Duan Yu.

That was because he knew Duan Yu well enough and judged through the details of the weapon, otherwise he would not have guessed it.

‘It was a wise decision to reject Duan Yu at the beginning. ‘

Otherwise, I would be the one who is unlucky now.

He heard from Xiao Jiao that although Duan Yu was not dead, a general of the Yu Kingdom was beaten into a pulp by the old Jiao with one claw.

‘I am not afraid of the playboys who live a life of debauchery, but I am afraid of the playboys who are ambitious. ’

If Duan Yu had been safe and sound, he would have returned to the capital and been promoted comfortably in a few months. But now he is anxious to make merit and has caused a big mess.

Xia Xiaotang said fiercely: “I must find this man!”

The demons are in chaos, and it is not only the Yu Kingdom army that died, but also countless people of the Wu Kingdom.

She was of course angry.

But Li Rui said: “Miss Xia, please don’t make this matter public for the time being.”

Xia Xiaotang was puzzled.

She had already thought about going back to tell the witch to catch that person and give him to the old Jiao as a snack.

“Why?”

“That person is an officer of the Yu Kingdom. His background is not simple. If he is not handled properly, the trade between the two countries may be interrupted.”

Xia Xiaotang was silent when she heard it.

Although she had never been to the battlefield, she often heard the witch talk about it.

Wars are actually fought for silver.

Now the trade routes of Yu State provide a large amount of gold and silver to the court of Wu State, which must not be cut off.

“Okay, I won’t say it.”

Xia Xiaotang chose to believe what Li Rui said.

Although what Li Rui said made some sense, it was actually a bit exaggerated.

The reason why Xia Xiaotang was not allowed to spread it was because of Duan Yu’s background.

Duan Yu’s father and father-in-law both held great power. Handing Duan Yu over did solve the country’s troubles, but it caused trouble for himself.

At that time, the account will definitely be counted on him, a small official of the sixth rank who reported it.

It is not good for oneself, so I can’t do it.

Pretend not to know?

That is the way to pretend to be dead and escape. Li Rui is not at the end of his rope yet, so he decided to do something.

“Miss Xia, tell the little dragon that the witch got a trace of the ancient Yinglong spirit and is willing to give it to turn hostility into friendship.”

“Yinglong spirit?!”

Xia Xiaotang’s eyes widened immediately.

Li Rui nodded: “I am naturally close to the demon clan, and it was also obtained by chance, and it just happened to be useful.”

“Yes.”

Xia Xiaotang nodded repeatedly and immediately contacted the Green Water Golden Eye Beast.

Li Rui stood aside and listened quietly.

He must not show up in this matter.

The little dragon has a pair of wings, and it is obvious that it has the blood of Yinglong. The Yinglong spirit has infinite attraction to it.

If he gives it to the little dragon, it will only be greedy.

Not only will it take the Yinglong spirit, but it will also have the idea of ​​killing people and stealing treasures.

But it is just right for the Green Water Golden Eye Beast, which comes from the royal family, to do it. The background is big enough, not to mention the little dragon, even the old dragon dare not touch it.

In addition, the tiger skin of the witch is involved.

Can the little dragon dare to confront the witch?

It was tamed as a mount on the spot.

As far as he knew, the great witch had never had a good temper towards the monster beasts, and it was common for him to raise his hand to suppress them.

However, it was impossible for a great witch to take care of everything. The monster tide was a big deal in Li Rui’s eyes, but it was just a small matter in his eyes.

As expected.

The little dragon readily agreed and promised to ask the old dragon to stop after returning.

Of course, the things would be given after the monster beasts retreated.

The green water golden eye beast turned and left.

Li Rui and Xia Xiaotang also retreated quietly.

After leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains, they were completely relieved.

At this time.

Li Rui fumbled in his arms for a while, and then took out a wisp of condensed breath thinner than a hair.

“Miss Xia, I’ll trouble you to give this thing to the dragon later.”

Xia Xiaotang nodded: “Okay.”

She looked at the Yinglong Qi in Li Rui’s hand curiously.

It can be clearly felt that the companion green water golden eye beast is instinctively afraid of this thing.

Dragon, the king of all beasts.

Well-deserved reputation.

“Senior, you are so righteous!”

Xia Xiaotang’s affection for Li Rui doubled.

Asked herself, if she had the spirit of Yinglong, she would definitely not sacrifice her treasure for official business.

What is this?

This is the selfless spirit of love.

“Senior, don’t worry, I will never tell this to a third person, and the witch will not tell it either.”

“Xiaotang, I believe you.”

Li Rui smiled and nodded.

Xia Xiaotang was confined for so long because of the matter of the soul pill, but she did not reveal any information, and her reputation is very good.

And there is no Yinglong spirit.

It’s just the dragon-shaped spirit he generated himself.

Li Rui stripped the immortal spirit in his body of the immortal spirit attribute and produced a trace of dragon spirit, which was enough to be mistaken for the real thing, and it was indeed very useful for the dragon.

Three days later.

“It’s strange. Why did this monster retreat on its own?”

Guan Xinrong said in confusion.

He led his men to search Shiwan Mountain for a full day and night, but could not find a single monster within a hundred miles, which made him confused for a while.

“Master Li, what do you think is going on?”

“Are the monsters afraid of us?”

Li Rui smiled and just shook his head.

Of course he would not tell Guan Xinrong that it was the little dragon that took the treasure and the monster retreated.

This is where the demon chaos thing comes to an end.

But is it over?

Not really.

Li Rui stepped into the most magnificent two-entry house in the level.

“Ginger.”

“Come in.”

Hearing Jiang Linxian’s voice, Li Rui walked into the courtyard and saw Jiang Linxian sitting at the stone table drinking tea.

Jiang Linxian just came back this morning.

No one knows what Jiang Linxian did.

But everyone in the level guessed that the retreat of the monster beasts should be related to Jiang Linxian.

Otherwise, there is no such thing as a coincidence.

“Brother Li, is something wrong?”

Since the last time he had a drink, Jiang Linxian would always call Li Rui “brother” as long as it was not in public.

He asked Li Rui to sit down and poured tea.

Li Rui took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then spoke:

“Jiang Tou’er, I have investigated over the past few days and found out that the demon tide is caused by the old dragon in Shiwan Mountain.”

“Someone wanted to do something wrong with Lao Jiao’s son, so Lao Jiao became furious.”

“I used some connections to find the little dragon.”

“It has agreed to turn hostility into friendship.”

The corners of Jiang Linxian’s mouth rose slightly.

Did you use some connections?

Is this a simple relationship?

He went out during this period just to investigate the source of this demon tide.

Like Li Rui, he had already noticed from the beginning that there was a demon behind this wave of demons, and he had just found out that it was Lao Jiao.

Unexpectedly, Li Rui had already settled the matter when he came back.

Of course he was surprised.

“Okay, good!”

Jiang Linxian was overjoyed.

The old Jiao was in the realm of Earthly Immortal and was no match for him. He was still thinking about how to solve it. Li Rui gave him such a big surprise. Why wasn’t he happy?

“Brother Li does everything properly.”

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

After something was done, he naturally had to find a way to take credit. Li Rui couldn’t do that kind of behavior that was hidden and then shocked everyone in the end.

And he really needed Jiang Linxian to help him settle the rest of the matter.

“Master Jiang, it was Duan Yu and Master Xiao Duan who took action against Lao Jiao’s son.”

“Duan Yu.”

Jiang Linxian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Li Rui did not tell Duan Yu directly, but chose to tell him quietly and resolve the imminent trouble first.

Know how to prioritize things.

If he were a young man, he would definitely immediately want to kill Duan Yu, the person who caused the trouble, to relieve the hatred in his heart.

It feels great.

But what happens next?

Not everyone can handle the troubles they face.

There is nothing wrong with what Li Rui is doing now.

“I understand, I will handle this matter.”

Jiang Linxian nodded, already making up his mind.

Finished things.

Only then did Li Rui put forward his own “small request”: “Jiang Boss, you also know that I don’t like to be in the limelight.”

Jiang Linxian looked at Li Rui with a half-smile.

A good one who doesn’t like to be in the limelight.

“I know, Brother Li, don’t worry. Externally, I will say that I did it all.”

“But Brother Li must never shirk the reward, otherwise I will really have a guilty conscience.”

Li Rui had no choice but to do it:

“Then it’s all as Jiang Tou’er says.”

Walk out of Jiang Linxian’s house.

Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

This time.

The matter is finally over.

It is not enough to solve the problem; it must not be known that it was him who did it.

Xia Xiaotang was the only one involved in the whole thing, and now Jiang Linxian was at the front. Even if someone wanted to investigate, they wouldn’t be able to find him.

A great opportunity to make a name for himself was given up by Li Rui.

pity?

Doesn’t exist.

Although as long as his achievements are made public, he will definitely get an S-level evaluation.

But for Li Rui now, he simply cannot bear that kind of fame.

Might as well take the initiative to withdraw.

At Li Rui’s age, he has experienced too much and has long been indifferent to gains and losses, fame and fortune. Ordinary life is always the truth.

Qinghe, Anning Health Center.

“Duan Yu was urgently transferred back to the capital. Now he has left Yunzhou. Jiang Linxian has made great achievements in quelling the demonic chaos and has been praised by Governor Yuan. I heard that he was taken to banquets and drinks, and news of his promotion is spreading.”

Li Rui’s life returned to peace.

In the end, Jiang Linxian did not choose to make public about Duan Yu’s matter. Instead, he chose to tell him in a secret letter to someone he trusted in the capital. He first asked that person to tell Master Lao Duan, and then Master Lao Duan entered the palace and apologized.

Mr. Lao Duan did this very well.

What kind of existence is the Lord of the Dragon Court?

Secret guards are all over the world.

Even if the secret guards couldn’t find out, Jiang Linxian would definitely tell the emperor if he found out.

First, tell Mr. Lao Duan that it was a deliberate betrayal of personal favors. He took the initiative to explain and found out from other emperors. The nature is completely different.

As for Duan Yu, who left a bad impression on the emperor, his official career was over.

But Old Duan even wanted to thank Jiang Linxian. If Jiang Linxian hadn’t informed him in advance, he would not have been able to keep his official position, and there was even the possibility of his family being confiscated and his clan being exterminated.

‘I heard that His Majesty only scolded him for not educating his children properly, and there was no real punishment. ‘

There was no punishment because the matter was contained in its infancy.

That’s why the emperor is so kind.

Of course, if Cao Wei and Lei Yong knew about this, they would definitely want to skin that young Duan.

Jiang Linxian did a great job on this matter.

He is also the biggest winner.

Not only did he win the favor of Governor Yuan, but he also had a better impression of the emperor, and he also received a favor from Old Duan.

Promotion is in sight!

Li Rui is not envious at all.

Jiang Linxian can bear such a big cause and effect because she has long been a fourth-rank official.

She can afford it.

And he is only a sixth-rank official.

There is a difference of two ranks. It is not a blessing but a disaster for him to have so many benefits.

All wealth and honor must be supported by strength, otherwise it is just a castle in the air.

This can be seen from some civil officials.

A third-rank civil official can be dismissed with a single word from the emperor.

Why?

Because all the wealth and honor are given by the emperor, and there is no burden at all when they are taken back, but the status of military officials and civil officials with high realms is terribly stable.

That is the real pillar of the empire.

Short-term wealth and honor are just a mirage, and what Li Rui wants is long-term and eternal.

Dong Dong Dong.

In the evening.

Someone knocked on the door of Li’s house.

When he opened the door, he saw Jiang Yan standing outside the door.

“Miss Jiang?”

Li Rui was stunned. He didn’t expect that it was Jiang Yan standing outside the door.

“Come in and sit down.”

As he said that, he was about to invite Jiang Yan in.

Jiang Yan smiled and waved her hand: “Senior Li, I won’t go in. This is something my father asked me to bring you.”

Li Rui raised his eyebrows.

It was Jiang Linxian’s compensation.

Jiang Yan took out a small exquisite wooden box from her sleeve and handed it to Li Rui.

“This is…”

Jiang Yan: “My father didn’t tell me, he just said that Senior Li would know it after opening it.”

After saying that.

He didn’t stay any longer and said goodbye and left.

Li Rui looked at the small wooden box in his hand, and his imagination ran wild.

He returned to the room.

Then he curiously opened the wooden box.

I saw a dark blue gem lying quietly in the box, and I could still smell the unique fishy smell of the sea breeze.

The moment Li Rui saw the gem, his pupils shrank suddenly.

“Tears of the Mermaid King!”
