Evergreen Immortal - Chapter 274

“Lingluo is dead?”

Cao Wei looked at the corpse Li Rui brought back with great surprise.

But the body cannot be faked.

He had led An Ning Guard to fight against Barbarian Bone City many times, and of course he had met Ling Luo, so he was even more sure.

Almost at a glance, he recognized that it was Mrs. Lingluo, the lord of Barbarian Bone City, who Li Rui brought back to Anning Guard.

“Master Li, how did you do it?”

Cao Wei looked at Li Rui in shock.

the day before yesterday.

Li Rui came to him and said he was going to send Jiang Linxian away. At that time, he was still wondering why the sender had to take leave, and then he brought Mrs. Lingluo’s body back with ease.

Full of question marks.

What is going on?

Lingluo was notoriously cunning. He had already escaped when Barbarian Bone City was destroyed, and was actually beheaded by Li Rui.

Of course, Cao Wei guessed that it was Jiang Linxian who was responsible, but Li Rui probably had a lot of credit.

But no matter what, as long as he can kill Ling Luo, he is a friend.

Cao Wei took a deep look at Li Rui, and then laughed loudly: “Okay, great. Brother Li did a great job in killing Lingluo, which is really a blessing for Annan Town.”

Lingluo didn’t just trigger the monsters to attack the city and make An Ningwei lose face.

When I was in Witch Country.

He and Lei Yong had suffered a lot at the hands of Ling Luo, and they had long wanted to chop off Ling Luo’s head.

His attitude seemed to put him on the same level as Li Rui.

In the past, this was simply impossible.

The first level of official rank is overwhelming. Cao Wei was born in the Ministry of War, and he attached great importance to the hierarchy of rules. His subordinates were his subordinates, even his most trusted friend Feng Yu. If Feng Yu dared to go overboard, he would be punished.

In front of subordinates, the boss is the boss, and there can be no chaos between superiors and subordinates.

Today, for the first time, Li Rui was called brother, which caught Li Rui off guard.

“Master Cao is so complimentary.”

Li Rui smiled and waved his hand.

But Cao Wei laughed even louder: “Brother Li, there is no need to be polite. I am not as old as him. If you respect me, just call me brother.”

Li Rui had no choice but to say: “Brother Cao, please report the Lingluo matter to Mr. Xue.”

Cao Wei’s attitude changed so much.

First, it comes from Li Rui’s strength. The news that Li Rui killed two fifth-level soldiers by himself has spread a long time ago. Cao Wei thinks that his strength is not as good as Li Rui’s. As an officer, strength is fundamental. Of course, Cao Wei will not compete with someone who is worse than him. Continue to show official authority in front of stronger people.

The second reason is that because of Xue Gui and Jiang Linxian, Li Rui seemed to have found two big backers for himself, and they were very close friends, much more stable than his relationship with the fifth prince.

The combination of the two naturally made Cao Wei more polite to Li Rui.

Although Jiang Linxian has not resigned as the commander-in-chief of the Anning Guard, he has already moved north to Beijing, and his promotion will be a matter of time.

Then the position of Anning Guard to join the army was vacant.

According to gossip, the candidate to join the army is probably Li Rui.

Li Rui is different from Jiang Linxian. He is no longer the same person he was when he first left the capital.

There is no need to make things too tense.

The fight at the top is a matter for the top, and the people below should do whatever they want. This is the long-term solution.

Cao Wei also understands that it is not a good habit to make enemies casually.

“Brother Cao, what should we do with Mrs. Lingluo?”

Cao Wei’s face turned cold:

“Of course it was hung on top of the city to vent people’s anger.”

“This is the city lord of Barbarian Bone City, the mastermind behind the demonic chaos. She is actually a woman.”

“Damn it, Mr. Li is so powerful.”

“Well done, such a villain deserves to be whipped to death!”

“Don’t say it, don’t say it, she’s so good-looking.”

“You, stop licking your mouth, it’s already cold.”

Thousands of people gathered at the head of Qinghe City.

All the people came to see the excitement after hearing the news. The influence of the demonic chaos has not yet passed. For the woman who started the demonic chaos, the people of Qinghe are eager to eat her flesh and drink her blood.

That night, too many people died in Qinghe.

How many husbands, wives, sons, fathers, and mothers failed to survive, and were eventually killed in a sea of ​​fire and in the mouths of monsters. The hatred finally focused on Mrs. Lingluo.

Now that Mrs. Lingluo is dead, the joy turned from hatred has fallen on the head of Lieutenant Li of the Anning Guard.

For a time, Li Rui’s prestige reached its peak.

In Qinghe today, no one can say a word of loyalty when it comes to Li Rui.

He even surpassed the general Cao Wei.

Cao Wei was not dissatisfied with this.

“So cruel, so cruel.”

Yang Yong has been laughing so hard that he can’t close his mouth every day recently. He goes out to play Pai Gow and doesn’t take his money even if he loses, just because he lives in Li Rui’s house.

Gamblers are ecstatic, which means they will not lose.

“Lao Li, why don’t you go out with me for a walk? You don’t need to talk, just stand.”

Yang Yong begged.

Li Rui decisively refused.

Reputation is a good thing, but it takes time to settle. Cao Wei did not steal it at all, but turned it all on his head.

As an official, a good reputation is very important, but if he wants to stand out at this time, that would be stupid. He doesn’t have to do anything now, it is enough.

There is no need to add fuel to the fire. If the fire burns too brightly, you will burn yourself to death.

Department of Municipal Trade, Department of Peace and Health.

“Brother, people from the three major sects are here.”

Tan Hu walked in and said.

Ever since Li Rui killed two powerful men of fifth grade, he simply called him eldest brother.

Li Rui nodded: “Well, please come in.”

Although Xue Gui has promised him the position of a military officer, it is not the right position now. Even if Jiang Linxian has given up the military officer’s mansion, if he runs to claim to be a military officer now, he will be ridiculed.

As long as the documents are not sent down, he will be a lieutenant of the Ministry of Commerce.

The lieutenant’s mansion of the Ministry of Commerce is where he should be.

No chaos.

After a while, the three of them walked into the gate of the lieutenant’s mansion.

Shi Zhou, Zhou Ting and Bai Jing looked at Li Rui sitting at the top. The scene was very similar to that a few days ago, except that the person changed from County Magistrate Zhong Zheng to Li Rui, and they also changed from host to guest.

All these changes were caused by strength.

They had heard the news that Li Rui killed two fifth-grade masters.

Before.

That was because Li Rui was not as strong as them, and he was just a small sixth-grade lieutenant, so they thought he could be bullied.

But now, he can crush the three of them with just strength.

They don’t think they have the ability to fight one against two and kill the opponent.

The rules of the martial arts world are that if you can’t win, you have to be honest.

So this time when Li Rui invited them, the three of them came without thinking.

Although the three are elders of the big sect, the same thing still applies: the sect is the sect and you are yourself. You can’t be too confused. If you forget yourself, you will lose your life.

“Lord Li.”

Shi Zhou was the first to clasp his fists and said with a smile.

He and Li Rui have the most hatred, but at this moment, it seems like they are old friends who haven’t seen each other for many years, and they are very friendly and familiar.

Zhou Ting and Bai Jing also have a smiling face.

Li Rui stood up and clasped his fists with a smile: “Three elders, please sit down quickly, Xiao Hai, serve tea.”

He is not arrogant at all.

Just pretend that what happened that day never happened.

If he was bossing the three people in the hall today, he would have turned the table directly on that day. There was no need to spend so much effort, but it was not his style.

He would bully others according to the situation when he was in power.

If bullying is just to vent anger, it is really unnecessary.

The three of them sat down and served tea.

Li Rui then said with a smile: “Today, I invited you three to come here for the trade between the two countries.”

Shi Zhou and the other two heard it, and they all looked like they had known it for a long time.

It was all for business.

But the situation of them inviting Li Rui was very different from that of Li Rui inviting them.

Last time, it could only be regarded as a private matter.

That’s why they dragged Zhong Zheng, who was still alive at the time, and even if they did, Zhong Zheng didn’t really dare to use the title of county magistrate to pressure Li Rui.

Why?

Please… you… collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\Nine\Book\Bar!)

The function is wrong.

A county magistrate, even if he is a county magistrate, is only responsible for the affairs in the city. He can manage the affairs of the Municipal Trade Department, but if he manages too much, it will not only be Li Rui who is unhappy, but also Yan Zhongxing and even the bigwigs of the Ministry of Revenue.

But Li Rui is different.

His official position was originally the military officer of the Ministry of Trade, and he was responsible for the trade between the two countries.

Calling Shi Zhou and the other two here is fair and square, and no one can find fault with it.

Handle private and official affairs together.

Before Li Rui could continue, Zhou Ting spoke first: “Brother Li, if you have any requests, just make them. As long as I Zhou Ting can do it, I will do it all. If you kill that bitch Ling Luo, I Zhou Ting will be convinced.”

That night, Zhou Ting was punched. Although it was the strong man who punched him, he put the account on Mrs. Ling Luo.

He Zhou Ting has a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment.

Since the person was killed by Li Rui, the gratitude should naturally be counted on Li Rui.

After this was said.

On the contrary, Li Rui was speechless for a while.

Shi Zhou and Bai Jing looked at each other and nodded: “That’s the truth.”

That day.

The eight elders of the eight major sects were blocked in the county government by a bitch Ling Luo, and they could only swallow their anger.

At that time, they could only admit defeat.

It was really aggrieved.

Even Shi Zhou, who was the most calm at the time, was extremely annoyed.

Li Rui killed Ling Luo, and the news has spread.

Although Li Rui didn’t kill Ling Luo because of them, as long as everyone’s enemy is Ling Luo, then everyone is a friend.

Shi Zhou clasped his fists: “Brother Li, I was reckless before, I hope you will forgive me.”

His attitude was completely different before and after.

Before, Li Rui was just an ordinary minor official in his eyes. Even if he had an official position, he had the Shenbing Villa behind him, so he was not afraid at all.

If he offended him, he offended him.

Besides, his hatred with Li Rui was not mixed with any personal grudges, they were all for the purpose of completing the tasks of those big shots in Shenbing Villa.

But now is different from the past.

Now Li Rui has not only become a fifth-rank official, but is also very likely to become a military officer of An Ning Wei.

Different identities, naturally different attitudes.

Not to mention that he really admires Li Rui for being able to kill Ling Luo, that woman. Only those who have been opponents with Ling Luo know how powerful that woman is.

He has means and strength.

If he continues to fight to the death with such a person, he will be crazy.

Moreover, with the relationship with Tie Kuang, the two sides may still be able to repair the relationship.

It’s not shameful to give in.

Li Rui has already climbed up the towering tree of Jiang Linxian. If he goes against her, Shenbing Villa may be fine, but he will most likely be in trouble.

Now is the best time to ease the relationship.

Shi Zhou: “Brother Li, the three of us will never interfere in the business of Tiandi League in the future, you can rest assured.”

Li Rui’s mouth curled up slightly.

This is the effect he wants.

If he had turned against the three people in front of him before, although he could have solved the problem in the end, he would have had to fight, which would have increased the cause and effect.

As for using the forces in the dark, it was even more unnecessary.

There was no need to bother Jiang Linxian with things that he could handle himself. No matter how many favors he had, if he used them frequently, they would eventually be used up, so it was better to save them.

Originally, Li Rui was thinking about waiting for the right time, but he didn’t expect that Ling Luo would attack the city with one hand, so he had to expose his fifth-grade strength in advance.

With strength as support, his attitude would certainly become better.

But if he simply showed his fifth-grade, it would certainly not be enough, but if he added Jiang Linxian, a land immortal, it would be completely enough.

It was more than enough.

Everyone in Qinghe didn’t know that Jiang Linxian had called him “old brother” all the time, and this treatment was the first in Qinghe.

Touch Li Rui?

Is this to test the value of Jiang Linxian’s brother?

So much so that Li Rui didn’t even need a backup plan, he just called him over, and then he would admit his mistake and apologize.

Isn’t it better than fighting and killing?

And although Jiang Linxian’s reputation was used, he didn’t need to do it himself. This is the correct way to use the backer.

Otherwise, you have to ask for everything, and the backer will get annoyed one day.

It is the best to get things done unconsciously by taking advantage of the situation.

“Three brothers, what are you talking about.”

“Brother called the brothers here this time just to talk about business. Of course, we should make money together. I want to ask when the three brothers’ people will come. It’s almost time to set off.”

Hearing Li Rui’s words.

The three of them opened their mouths, and for a moment they didn’t know what Li Rui meant.

It was Shi Zhou who spoke first: “Brother Li, the brothers are stupid, can you show me the way?”

Li Rui chuckled: “Of course it’s the golden road. We will split the profits 30% to 70%. Brothers, do you have any objections?”

Shi Zhou’s eyes lit up.

They didn’t expect Li Rui to be willing to continue doing business.

30% to 70%, this is already fair.

At this time, Shi Zhou, Zhou Ting and Bai Jing looked at each other: “The business was opened by my brother, so I should take more. I think 40% to 60% is appropriate.”

“Brother Zhou, Brother Bai, what do you think?”

Zhou Ting and Bai Jing nodded: “That makes sense.”

Seeing this.

Li Rui was happy. The three people in front of him were still aggressive a few days ago, but now they are so reasonable.

He no longer refused and agreed reluctantly: “40%, 40%. You don’t have to take special care of me, your elder brother.”

The matter was quickly finalized.

The goal was achieved.

After Tie Kuang left, the weapons business would definitely not be able to continue, so Li Rui needed to expand the monster business even more. It would be difficult to expand it by relying on the Tiandi League alone, so he needed to take advantage of the situation. Instead of waiting for other major groups to rush in, it would be better to attract Shi Zhou and the other two in advance.

In this way, the external pressure can be much smaller.

The Tiandi League alone cannot bear it.

As for the Holy Lord, he gave money to gain connections, but that was the last trump card and could not be used casually.

Now it’s good.

Everything is falling into place.
