"Master Cao, the Western Empire was originally very powerful among the four empires. The Western Empire had the upper hand in terms of people and geography." Tuoba Zhiqiu used these words as his opening remarks, and what he said was actually

To be honest, the terrain of the Western Empire is relatively high, and it is the only one that attacks others. If other empires attack them, they will suffer a bit, and other countries may not be able to withstand the altitude sickness above even if they occupy the Western Empire.

Yes, so no matter how fierce the wars in other empires have been over the years, there have been relatively few wars in the Western Empire. This has also made the aristocrats of the Western Empire lose their original ambition to be aggressive and competitive. They just want to enjoy comfort and ease.

In life, over the years, luxury goods have been the fastest-selling items in the Western Empire. As for other items such as national defense, they cannot be sold at all.

"But things are different now. There is no enterprising spirit at all in the Western Empire. The current Western Empire is rotten from top to bottom. Throughout last year, the peasants of the Western Empire were in uprising.

There have been more than five times. We will not count the small ones at all. These are uprisings that spread to more than five provinces. However, the top leaders of the Western Empire simply cannot see these. They think that there are thousands of provinces in the Western Empire.

There are only a few people in the province who are causing civil unrest. This is a normal thing. They don't think it will have any bad impact on their communication foundation." Tuoba Zhiqiu said with some sadness. Their Tuoba family is in the west.

The empire is also deeply rooted. If the Western Empire collapses at this time, there will be no benefit to them. Judging from the current situation, the Western Empire will have no problem supporting it for a hundred years. Why do they want to take such a step? Could it be that they

The Tuoba family is not what it seems? Is there something wrong with them?

"Mr. Tuoba, with all due respect, the Tuoba family is also a well-known brand in the Western Empire. You shouldn't say these words to me. In fact, from my point of view, if your Tuoba family helps the imperial family to resolve this crisis,

, I think you may make better progress instead of talking about this here." Li Cong said directly. He is very interested in this, but he still has some difficulty with this thing.

There is no problem with saving things. An empire has a population of hundreds of billions. What ability do you have? I have never led so many people, and this Tuoba family belongs to an old fox. What they want to do

If things get involved, whether it will end well in the end is another question.

"Master Cao said the same thing. In the past, we would definitely not ask for help from outsiders. Our relationship with the imperial family is very good. We have been relatives with the imperial family since my ancestors. We married

There are countless princesses, and there are several girls in our family who have become queens. But now our family cannot cooperate with the emperor. The emperor has seen that our Tuoba family is too big to lose. Now the power of our Tuoba family is directly

We control dozens of provinces in the entire empire, and indirectly control hundreds. It can be said that one-tenth of the power of the empire is already in our hands. Our Tuoba family has two of the ten most elite armies in the empire.

, The emperor is determined to get rid of us. We also have our own spies in the palace. If the emperor doesn't do that, we won't come out to look for help." Tuoba Zhiqiu said this directly.

From this, Li Cong could also see that their problem was really imminent. Otherwise, he would not have spoken out about his problem, which would have exposed his shortcomings.

Speaking of which, Li Congzhen felt a little accommodating to the Tuoba family, and at the same time he was still a little confused. How on earth did the royal family of the Western Empire do things? How could they create such a behemoth that could go against him? This is simply a fool.

As the emperor of the Western Empire, you can reuse anyone, but you must not reuse a family in this way. A family can either develop in the political world or in the military. If you want to have a future in both, then

Such a family must not be kept, and must be killed. Such all-round development is based on ideas for one's own empire.

"Mr. Tuoba, to be honest, I have never thought about the matter you brought up before. It seems a bit far away to me. You also know that now I am not as strong as you.

There is a big difference. I am just a businessman. This matter is far away from me. I think it is better for you to find someone else to do this. Of course, we are very particular about what we do, and we will not take it seriously.

Tell this matter." Li Cong said, indeed, judging from the strength that Li Cong has now exposed on the surface, the plan of She Tunxiang like the Tuoba family is really not good enough. First of all, our abilities are not good.

, I don’t have the ability to give you any help. Secondly, the Western Empire is still relatively far away from here. Even if you can succeed, we will have no foundation by then. How big of a cake can you give us?

Even if you don't give it, what can I do? At that time, you had the strength of the entire empire, and I was just a small businessman, so I couldn't do anything to you at all.

Tuoba Zhiqiu had met a lot of people. He originally thought that Li Cong would definitely agree if he told him this plan. Although he met Li Cong very few times and didn't talk much, he could tell.

, This guy Li Cong will never be like this. Li Cong is definitely a very ambitious person. He has seen too many ambitious people. Those ambitious people have no strength. Such people

You won't be able to achieve anything in your life, but the person in front of you is different. Although this guy is far from the Tuoba family in terms of overall strength, this guy has what the Tuoba family needs. Maybe this thing can make the Tuoba family

What saved everything for the Ba family was the airship in Li Cong's hands. This is why Tuoba Zhiqiu came here in person.

"Master Cao is so humble. In fact, we all know what Master Cao is capable of. Let's not talk about Master Cao's powerful master. Even Master Cao himself is also very outstanding. Look at Master Cao's appearance this year.

At such a young age, he already has such a big family fortune. When the first patriarch of our Tuoba family was as old as Mr. Cao, he could only allow our Tuoba family to get along well in a county.

But look at Mr. Cao's business now. His business has spanned two empires, involving dozens of provinces, and at least five billion people are related to Mr. Cao's business. Such an achievement is not something that ordinary people can compare with." Tuo.

Bazhiqiu basically doesn't flatter him very much. But when he flatters him, he does it very well, and it's definitely just right. Li Cong is also a normal person, and he is very happy when he hears these compliments, but this time

On the surface, he still didn't show it. After all, Li Cong still doesn't know what people see in him, not to mention that they see me for being handsome. It can be said that being handsome is of no use in the struggle for the empire.

Li Cong must have what they need. Otherwise they would not come to Li Cong.

"Mr. Tuoba's words directly made me feel a little confused. I'd better not say that again in the future, otherwise I will soon become arrogant and feel that I am a very successful person." Li Cong smiled.

Said, since you didn't say anything, and we don't know the truth, it's better to be honest. Li Cong doesn't want to say the rest of the words, so it's better to be honest and see what this old guy means. Sometimes, you can

Speak directly. But sometimes you have to start testing slowly.

After half an hour, Tuoba Zhiqiu was really convinced. Li Cong could talk to him about military affairs and the skills of a cook in his family, but he refused to talk about his cooperation with him. This guy was doing Tai Chi.

I have to say that I am second in boxing skills, and no one dares to admit that I am the first. This guy is really awesome. Many times, this guy doesn’t know what to say. But when he talks about it, you have to continue to follow him. This is purely

It's just a waste of time, but Li Cong didn't look like leaving at all. He still stayed here to talk to Mr. Tuoba honestly. This is telling you that you still have to speak first. Finally, after forty minutes, Mr. Tuoba really endured it.

He couldn't hold it any longer and wanted to tell him about the cooperation. This guy was indeed very capable in terms of endurance.

"Master Cao, actually our Tuoba family has been planning this time for a long time. If Master Cao is not willing to join us, I wonder if we can borrow something from Master Cao. Of course, we will pay for it, absolutely.

Mr. Cao will not suffer a loss." The main event is finally here. Do you think Li Cong will be very comfortable talking nonsense here? It is indeed a very comfortable thing to chat with ordinary people, but with such people, it is

No, the guy in front of me is a real old fox. Talking about big things with such a person? If you don’t have the interest, you might be able to catch your own weakness soon. If the average person’s mind spins a hundred times a minute, like this

The guy must be doing it at least hundreds of times a minute.

"Borrowing something? Of course it's no problem. Just say it, Mr. Tuoba. As long as someone of mine has it, you can just use it. It doesn't matter whether you get paid or not." Li Conghao said proudly.

Said, of course, Tuoba Zhiqiu is not that naive. He thinks that Li Cong will really work voluntarily with him. Such a thing will never happen. It is good if someone like Li Cong can listen to half of what he says. Li Cong

I have never known that what I have that they don’t have are the new things I have come up with. The most useful thing among them is probably the airship, and they probably need that thing.

"Lord Cao is indeed quite cheerful, so I won't hide it. I'll just say it straight away. Our Tuoba family needs the kind of things that Lord Cao has that can fly in the sky. We need a lot of them.

This thing helps us transport people to the capital." Tuoba Zhiqiu said it directly, and Li Cong thought in his heart that it was indeed this thing, what are the people of the Tuoba family doing to transport people to the capital?

"Mr. Tuoba is really giving me a hard time. This thing is under my management now, but there is also a power organization behind me. To be honest, this power organization is not something I can have the final say on. You also saw this airship

The staff on it are all fixed. Ordinary people will not open this thing. This thing was made by my master and those people. I just help them with their work. The fuel and other things on it are all made by alchemists.

I don't have that much power over the things I get out. If the quantity is small, I can still help with more than a dozen or twenty ships. I estimate that if the Tuoba family uses it, there will definitely be a lot of books. My teacher

There may be some trouble over there. This old man... Well, it's a bit embarrassing to say it. I'm so rude. I shouldn't say that about my master. This old man is very profit-oriented. It's natural for him to be a young disciple like me.

He won't talk about money matters, but whoever entrusts him to do things is not bankrupt, and there is not enough profit. I don't think it is easy for him to get so many airships." Li Cong said with some embarrassment.

Naturally, things need to be more beneficial. Li Cong also wants to gain his own interests from the great changes in the Western Empire. This way of participation is the best. If the Western Empire fails, he will only have a few benefits at most.

It's okay if the airship is lost. If it succeeds, because you have your own master, this benefit is absolutely indispensable.

Tuoba Zhiqiu glanced at Li Cong in surprise. Their family's intelligence showed that Li Cong had never been loyal to anyone. He didn't expect that such words would come out of Li Cong's mouth. It was very strange.

Soon, Tuoba Zhiqiu believed what Li Cong said. No matter how talented Li Cong is, he is just a young man. He can have his own abilities, but if he wants to have such huge assets, he will definitely need a strong backing.

Is this background finally coming to light now? It seems that the Tuoba family will be the first to know. If they can cooperate with such an organization, the affairs of the Western Empire should be no problem.

"Actually, if my master is willing to help you with your matter, I will tell you now that you will definitely be more than half successful. That old guy's ability is really powerful, but my master is getting older and has a lot more.

He has a weird temper. For example, except for me and a few senior brothers, he doesn't talk to anyone. Even when he talks to outsiders, there are hundreds of people together. That's what he said last time. It's a pity. Originally, he was a very simple person.

Things would have become more complicated without my master's participation." Tuoba Zhiqiu's eyes rolled around for a moment, and Li Cong knew what he meant, and quickly blocked the road. This kind of opening should not be opened for such a thing.

, it’s okay for me to play two roles by myself, but I’m just an empty frame, and I don’t have that much ability at all. If this is revealed, not only will the matter fail this time, but more importantly, my own safety will also be compromised.

The problem is, I am just a kid holding a golden rooster now. There are so many people who want to do something to me, but there are a few who dare to do it. It’s better to look at the old guy behind me. If it weren’t for that old guy

If so, I would have died countless times.

Tuoba Zhiqiu also sighed. Naturally, he would not believe Li Cong's remarks. There was not a word of truth in this kid's mouth, but there was no other way at the moment. However, Li Cong did not

The road is blocked. Didn't they say, as long as there are enough benefits, it's okay. Be obedient and listen to the voice. There was so much nonsense just now. It's okay to know this now. As long as there are enough benefits, no matter what.

It's all ok, it seems like you've paid a big price.

"Master Cao, in fact, I believe that everything is possible, but I don't have a suitable entry point yet. Master Cao also said just now, isn't your master very profit-oriented? In this case, I can talk about it.

Yes, our Tuoba family has accumulated astonishing wealth over the years. These things are of little use to us. In the past, they might have had some embellishment effect, but now, if our Tuoba family is gone,

Those things belong to others sooner or later." Tuoba Zhiqiu said this with some vicissitudes of life, as if he was an old man in his twilight years. Li Cong would not be deceived by these words, this old guy is so shameless.

It's thick. Who knows which sentence is true and which sentence is false? We don't have the heart to listen.

"Haha, that's all Mr. Tuoba said. Just tell me how many people you need to transport at one time, or how many airships I need to send." At this time, the negotiations were basically clear, and Li Cong was also very excited.

He was particular about not asking what he was doing. He would be the captain of the transportation team by then. As for other things, it had nothing to do with him. Li Cong didn't want to know so many things. In Li Cong's opinion, these things were not something he could do.

It is better to be honest when it comes to blending in. Not only should you keep this sentence in mind, but more importantly, you should put it into your daily work.

"Master Cao is indeed very cheerful. We need to transport more than 50,000 soldiers, including their horses." Tuoba Zhiqiu thought for a while and said, which also surprised Li Cong, damn,

What does this old guy think of himself? Even if there are no war horses, these 50,000 soldiers are not a small number. If an airship pulls people, it can hold 500 people. These 100 airships are really enough.

Yes, after including their horses and equipment, it is estimated that even 100 may not be enough. Now the total number of airships in Li Cong's hands is less than 200. He does not only do everything for them.

It's not enough. This requires sacrificing all his business. Li Cong doesn't have much left in his space ring. It wouldn't be a big deal if the other side of the earth teleports him here. But this pilot is not very easy to find. There aren't many.

A training period of one month is difficult.

"This is not impossible, but I need time. You must give me three months, otherwise these things will not be available." Li Cong said decisively. Since he lent the airship to others, he would definitely handle it for them.

Yes, and Li Cong hasn't given his price yet. Want money? That's impossible. He doesn't know how much money he has. What he wants is territory, autonomy, and power.

, what I want is the right not to be controlled.

Three months? Tuoba Zhiqiu began to hesitate on his face. To be honest, even if the negotiation on Li Cong's side failed, they would still have other ideas, and there was still a lot of preparation. After all, such a big family

Many people are doing things at the same time. It is absolutely impossible to hang yourself from a tree. They will not do such a thing, but they have also analyzed all the plans. It seems that only Li Cong's is the safest.
To be continued...
