Chapter 163 Sincerity(1/2)
The king of Poyang, Xiao Hongda, was the half-brother of the country's leader. He looked like the Xiao family at first glance, with slender eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, full of heaven, white, plump and red face, and very rich. He was also protected by a gleaming treasure armor.
, the pieces of goldfish scales shine with iridescent light in the sun, and I am afraid that if you break off a piece casually, it will be worth a fortune.
Although this person can be regarded as a major cultivator in the Nascent Soul realm, he holds the rank of general in the Zhen Kingdom, and is a typical supporter of the elders of aristocratic families. But basically he just looks like a rich man, so don’t expect him to actually wear this kind of clothes himself.
, which can make the opponent's morale explode with expensive armor to fight in battle.
During the previous battle, this prince was probably sitting in the back of the Immortal Palace, and he said as soon as he opened his mouth, "Concerning the various tasks of conquering the demon clan this time, I would like to make three simple suggestions. Everyone is welcome to discuss them. First...
"
Ahem, it's just that he is very official, nothing else. But I heard that King Poyang was a well-known wise king. At least the people of the Xiao family worked hard to brag about him and praise him.
He is famous for his philanthropy and philanthropy.
So Li Fan was quite looking forward to it at first, wanting to see what kind of reward the prince would give him for saving his nephew and nephew. The Nangong family had already fired a flying sword, so the Xiao family couldn't give him anything less.
?
Unexpectedly, what shocked Li Fan was that he had been standing with a group of mounts waiting for a long time, not to mention a sip of tea, but he was not even qualified to meet King Poyang!
It’s not that there are any surprises prepared for him, it’s true, there is nothing!
The young Marquis named Sun probably went to the emergency room and couldn't care about it for the moment, so the officials and secretaries accompanying the army inside didn't even think about rewarding Li Fan with anything.
Moreover, people make a lot of sense when they say it. On the battlefield, there is no distinction between princes of Xun Kingdom and ordinary monks. Everyone is exterminating the demon clan together. If you say that you rescued a robe, that is not normal.
What's a good reward? And wasn't this person brought back by the Yuanying God? Why are you a casual cultivator giving you a golden elixir?
Hey, Li Fan couldn't say that the Xiao family was neglecting his benefactor, because he took out the letter and the hosta given by Xiao Yunan and delivered them without even coming up. After all, he really thought that the people in the Xiao family were very courteous and virtuous, so he wanted to submit them in person.
Then, he didn't know that the waiter wouldn't let him in! Taking it out after being despised by others, it seemed that he was actively trying to curry favor with the powerful, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Well, if you think about it, actually, Li Qingyue, a mere casual cultivator from Mozhushan, a rural Jindan cultivator, is still too unworthy in front of a powerful family like the Xiao family. After all, he has neither the title of Sanyuan nor the official rank of Liguo.
He doesn't even have the official position of Lou Guandao. How can a standard mountain villager be qualified to meet the prince of Zhenguo, the dignified Yuanying monk, and the first-line prince of the twelve countries of the Central Plains?
Then if you insist on meeting, it's not impossible. King Poyang always treats virtuous people and loves to make friends with talented people. Please leave your name and letter of introduction and wait for the summons.
If the other party has this attitude, it's over.
Li Fan's character, to put it nicely, is that he would rather take what is straight and not to ask for anything from the song. To put it badly, he will beat him to death when his temper comes up, and he will stupidly wait for others to summon him before he can do anything! He turned around and left.
!
Then how did he see Xiao Hongda himself?
It's interesting to say that Li Fan left the Immortal Pavilion Fei Palace for a while and rushed to Feizhou in Mozhu Mountain to ask about his fellow disciples, but he met him instead.
It was actually the King of Poyang who took the initiative to visit Feizhou in Mozhu Mountain without waiting for an audience. He expressed his recognition of the outstanding role of the Dinghaizhu Field Hospital in Mozhu Mountain in this battle and came to express his condolences to those who were injured in the battle.
A group of southern monks tentatively asked Master Tianshu to give a price for Haizhu.
Tianshu Lao Tao also said that this magic weapon is borrowed and cannot be transferred, but our Seven Star Temple is professional in refining treasures. What kind of beads do you want, what color, how big, what materials, and what kind of beads you want. Just give a word and they will be ready.
For the price you quoted, I will give you a new car!
So King Poyang was also very happy. He signed a big deal with Qixingguan on the spot and reached a strategic partnership agreement with Mozhushan...
Li Fan hid in the crowd the whole time and watched with cold eyes.
The King of Poyang and Taoist Yuan Ying of Qixing Temple spoke condescendingly and pointed out the country. Of course, his etiquette and demeanor were aristocratic. Although he rejected people from thousands of miles away, he did not make people resentful, but spontaneously gave birth to a sense of resentment.
I have a feeling of admiration and admiration, and always recall the fact that I am a savage bumpkin in the mountains. This is probably the so-called celebrity style, right?
Well, Li Fan has finally figured it out. After all, a family member is still a family member. They make millions every minute. How can they waste time talking about feelings with you? Their politeness is 30% out of education and 70% out of love.
Benefit.
People at this level only choose to deal with people who will be useful to them. No wonder Xiao Yunan had to write a letter of introduction to Li Fan, and General Wang just smiled bitterly when he saw Li Fan being turned away.
Patting him on the shoulder, and without explaining a word, he followed the waiter's instructions and was ordered to go out to capture the monsters and protect the vulnerable children of the Xiao family.
Silence is better than sound. Now Li Fan can finally see that the Xiao family is essentially no better than the Nangong family.
To put it bluntly, the Nangong family can probably do it if they want to, but they may have calculated that the children in the family will use it sooner or later anyway, so they don't need to train it so carefully. The Xiao family has been inherited for a longer time, and the tutoring and family education are probably more complete. On the surface,
It's just a matter of hard work.
The same goes for King Poyang. He probably isn't really that virtuous and loyal, but just plays the role of a virtuous king who is courteous and virtuous for the sake of the family. He is just responsible for the social work of making public appearances, and he does not have the sincerity and sincerity of visiting the thatched cottage.
Inside. Otherwise, why would the attendants, in such a wilderness, still have to sort out the visitors according to their greeting invitations? I'm afraid that when they arrive in Zhen State, the Xiao family's own territory will be
It turns out that he is also extremely awesome.
In fact, that's true. Do you really think you can take advantage of a person whose family background and knowledge are at the level of being in the country? I'm afraid you've taken a lot of benefits from him, and then he'll try his best to get you back with your life.
.
Wasn't that king and general who was running around so slowly, so slowly, snared by many interests and forces that he couldn't see and couldn't spit out, that he could even command his servants?
So Li Fan thought for a while and just sat back and watched the Poyang King leave. He did not intend to take out the letter and continued to have a close relationship with the Xiao family. Just think of it as missing an opportunity. There is nothing to regret.
On the contrary, Wang Juncai, the family general, did not take the initiative to expose his employer's background, nor did he take the initiative to drag Li Fan into the Xiao family's trap. Perhaps he is a more worthy person to associate with than the Xiao family...
Xuantian Jianyi said, hehe, they missed this opportunity for you. Now you understand why these fat sheep can only rob, but can't reach out and ask them for it. They pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.
Cause and effect can be resolved cleanly!'
Damn it? It seems right!
So if you save someone from the Xiao family, they can repay you tenfold and a hundredfold, establish a relationship with you, and use you a thousandfold in the future, or even use your life.
But if the relationship between the two parties is just that the robbers kidnap the fat sheep, then they cannot give too much ransom. It is not encouraging this kind of behavior. One hand pays the money and the other hand hands the person, it is clean and tidy, there is no middleman.
Earn the difference! Xuantian, you are such a clever little guy!
'Xuan Tian Sword Intention Dao, hum hum, learn more, everything in the world has a reason, even if you kill people and steal goods, there is a deep truth in it!'
What a lesson!
Li Fan finally understood, and he learned a little bit about robbery!
"Ah Sneeze! Huh? Why is my right eye beating like crazy..."
King Poyang, who had finished his visit and speech not far away, left inexplicably surrounded by his attendants...
Li Fan looked at the prince with pity. He was not short of money now, so let him let go of the Xiao family's cash machine. But business was more important. Let's exchange information with Liu Qing, Yu Hengzi and the southern faction first.
That's what matters.
But he walked around the ship and spent a lot of time on the prince, but he didn't see key figures like Liu Qing and Yu Hengzi, and he didn't even meet acquaintances like layman Xuanji and Yuan Tianxiao. The only people he knew on the ship were
An old Taoist from Tianshu who has not been in close contact with him, he is still talking about the magic weapon order with the Xiao family on behalf of Qixing Temple, so it is not easy to disturb him.
After hesitating for a while, Li Fan was about to grab a monk wearing a linen robe from Mozhu Mountain and ask, when he suddenly saw a sword light coming down. Oh, Liu Qing is finally back. At this time, there is no evil spirit in her body. It seems that she has changed again.
After returning from the Taoist body, the undercover matter over there has been generally settled.
Li Fan stepped forward and was listening to her talking to a monk from Mozhushan.
"How is the battle going? Can our fellow disciples lose their lives? Where are Yu Hengzi and the others? Where is the Yao Supervisory Academy now?"
The monk also said, "Everyone lost their pursuit of the demon clan, but the loss of my disciples should not be big. I heard that there was a powerful swordsman leading the team, and he directly chased the demon clan army away. It was really refreshing to win."
ah.
However, there was a Hengshan disciple who seemed to have been killed by the Demon King of Xunshan. Master Daochong of the Shangqing Palace pursued him all the way and insisted on revenge. The Yao Supervisor was worried that something might be wrong, so he took Yu Hengzi to teach him, and together with senior fellow apprentice Yuan, he obtained the magic weapon.
Those who have not lost and still have fighting strength will go together to help."
Liu Qing was stunned, "They are all gone? What's going on? Why can't the magic weapon be used?"
The monk spread his hands, took out his jade Ruyi, which had been stained black, and said, "That old lion is really powerful. He came up to take a breath and defiled a large area of our magical weapons. Fortunately, Master Tianshu has
Ding Haizhu must bear it, otherwise he may suffer serious consequences if he comes up.
Now everyone has to queue up to ask Qixingguan to repair it, but another person from the Xiao family came in front and spent a lot of money to jump in line. We are too embarrassed to delay other people's business, so let's wait...
Senior sister, you want to find someone to help you get rid of the demon? Then we can help even if we don’t have magic weapons?"
Liu Qing frowned and shook her head, "Without the magic weapon to protect yourself, it would be too dangerous. Let's forget it this time..."
"Senior Sister Jiang wants to get rid of the demon, why not count me in." At this time, Li Fan stood up and intervened.
Liu Qing looked at him stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect Li Fan to appear here, and subconsciously shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, why are you here? You have not long since become an elixir, and your Taoism is still shallow. You can just practice by yourself, there is no need to worry about anything else.
"
On the contrary, the monks around Liu Qing couldn't help complaining, "Is his Taoism still shallow? Why can't I see his depth..."
Li Fan smiled and said, "In that case, I got some opportunities in Lei Ze, maybe senior sister can be useful."
Liu Qing immediately shook his head, "Fellow Daoist Li, there is no need to be so polite. Although we all belong to the same sect, there is no reason to rob others of opportunities. Your Excellency has deep blessings and is a genius. If you get the treasure of genius, you can use it yourself. We can't afford it."
.”
Seeing that Liu Qing obviously didn't want to talk to him anymore, Li Fan also understood that the other party always had a grudge, so he took out a jade storage pendant from his arms.
"Really? But I heard someone said that Senior Sister is looking for Bo Rong everywhere, so she sent it here specially."
As expected, Liu Qing stopped, exchanged glances with the monk next to him, and asked Li Fan to go to a quiet place beside the boat and said, "There were some misunderstandings before, because we have done something wrong, but I don't know what my friend wants to exchange for it."
, but please give me orders?”
