"It's useless."
Xu Zian sighed, and said slowly: "My lord, you can't just look at the surface of the matter. The appearance of these holes means that Li Xiao already knows Xu Shang's true identity, and also knows that the matter of sending someone to assassinate him cannot be hidden from the lord." , This is simply what he did on purpose, even if the prince's [-] troops come out, Li Xiao has countermeasures."
Li Yuanze's eyes widened: "How could this be? What is he doing this for?"
"deterrence!"
Xu Zian spit out the word lightly.
"deterrence?"
Li Yuan was puzzled.
"good."
Xu Zian narrowed his eyes and said, "Just now, if Li Xiao wanted to, he could have directly assassinated the prince. This is not alarmist talk."
"But he didn't. He's a person who always wants to put justice on his body, gather people's hearts, and gather people's hearts to achieve his own goals."
"It's a simple method. The prince has turned into a traitor. He will soon lose the hearts of the people. Soon there will be many people who claim to be righteous to attack the prince."
"But in fact, they just want to covet the three-acre land in Leizhou, but it doesn't matter anymore."
"Ah?!" Li Yuanze panicked, "Then what should I do now?"
"No matter what, we have to chase Li Xiao back to resolve this misunderstanding, and naturally the charge of treason will be cleared." Xu Zian said solemnly.
Chapter 321: Sitting on the ground and starting the price
Because of Li Yuanze's stop, Leizhou soldiers did not dare to touch Li Xiao again.
At this time, Li Xiao had already arrived outside the barracks unimpeded.
He was about to go back to the camp, but before he had gone far, he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan rushed out with someone anxious.
"Nephew stay!"
Li Yuan shouted loudly.
"Want to kill me? Just dream!"
Seeing this, Li Xiao immediately quickened his pace.
He and Li Junxian performed lightness kung fu, but their speed was almost the same as that of Li Yuanze behind him.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Li Yuan became anxious.
"Don't run away, nephew. I only brought ten people, which is enough to show my sincerity. Can you stop and talk?"
Li Yuanze was really helpless.
He never thought that one day he would be chasing after others begging for forgiveness.
How did things develop to this point?
No matter how Li Yuanze begged, Li Xiao in front didn't listen at all, and the speed was getting faster and faster instead.
Seeing that Li Xiao was getting farther and farther away from him, Li Yuanze gritted his teeth and shouted: "Uncle Wang, please stop!"
"You want to lie to me? No way!"
Li Xiao still didn't appreciate it.
After finishing speaking, he looked disdainful, and said to Li Junxian next to him: "Don't pay attention to him no matter what he says later!"
"Yes!" Li Junxian nodded.
next moment.
"50 taels!"
Li Yuan immediately shouted: "I promise to add up to 50 taels of silver for you, please stop playing with me!"
Hearing this, Li Xiao immediately slammed on the brakes and stopped.
"How many?"
"Forehead……"
Li Junxian looked at Li Xiao speechlessly: "Your Highness, didn't we say that no matter what Li Yuanze said, we should ignore him?"
Li Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to Li Junxian, and looked at Li Yuan who was getting closer and asked, "How much money did you just say?"
"50 taels!"
Li Yuan was also relieved when he saw Li Xiao stopped, and immediately raised his palm and said without hesitation.
After a while, Li Yuanze finally caught up with Li Xiao.
He hurriedly took people off his horse to show his sincerity, and then said: "My nephew really misunderstood. The people who assassinated my nephew were not from Leizhou, but people from Qinzhou who pretended to provoke you. The relationship between my uncle and nephew."
"You said 80 taels of silver just now?" Li Xiao said in shock.
Li Yuanze: "..."
Playing stupid again?
But at this time, Li Yuanze didn't dare to say "no", and nodded quickly: "Yes, it's only 80 taels. Can my nephew go back and have a look? That gang of thieves killed hundreds of people in Leizhou. The corpses are still in the camp!"
After he finished speaking, his heart was bleeding!
After understanding Xu Zian's plan, he also knew that most of the money and supplies were for real.
"Uncle Wang is really arrogant, wouldn't it be over if he did this earlier? There are so many things to deal with." Li Xiao said cursingly.
The corners of Li Yuan's mouth twitched, his heart full of resentment, but he didn't dare to vent it.
He really wanted to grab Li Xiao's collar and ask, who did these sinister things?
He even asked someone to pretend to be a Leizhou soldier to assassinate him.
In order to plant, it can be said that they will do everything possible.
It's shameless!
Even though he wanted to curse Li Xiao for days and nights, Li Yuanze still had a kind smile on his face.
"The nephew has calmed down?" Li Yuanze asked cautiously.
"Everything is easy to talk about if you have money." Li Xiao said indifferently.
"Nephew, don't worry, three days later, 80 taels of silver, two thousand horses, and 55 catties of mineral resources must be ready. Nephew just needs to send someone to pick it up." Li Yuanze said firmly:
Hearing this, a trace of suspicion flashed in Li Xiao's eyes, and then he said with a hearty smile: "It seems that I really misunderstood Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang is so generous, how could he rebel?"
Hearing this, Li Yuan felt extremely contemptuous in his heart, is it a good person to give money?
He couldn't help sneering in his heart: Hehe, let's sneer now!
I don't even know I'm taking advantage of it, but you'll be the one to watch it then!
Take my things, and I want you to spit them all out!
It was precisely because he believed in Xu Zian's next plan that Li Yuanze begged Li Xiao humbly.
"Why don't my nephew follow me to the camp to see the dead body?"
But Li Xiao waved his hand: "Uncle Wang, you don't need to look at it. I believe that Uncle Wang's character will not deceive me. Before that, my nephew was too anxious and was almost deceived by the thief."
"Uncle Wang, go back quickly, there is no need to send it off."
After speaking, Li Xiao took Li Junxian and left again.
This time, Li Yuan did not continue to chase.
With a look of relief on his face, he turned back to camp.
……
I do not know how long it has been.
Li Xiao and the two walked, unknowingly came to a jungle.
As soon as he came in, he saw Ye Tianchen and his people had been waiting here for a long time.
"Your Highness, everything is going well!"
Ye Tianchen reported: "Five hundred soldiers of the Dragon Flying Legion had 14 minor injuries, none of them were seriously injured."
"Ah."
Li Xiao nodded, his eyes were thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Beside, Li Junxian asked suddenly: "Your Highness, in my opinion, these supplies are not so easy to get."
"Of course, I'm also thinking about what I would do if I were him." Li Xiao said without thinking.
After pondering for a while, Li Xiao asked, "Are these 500 people from the Assassin Battalion?"
Among the three major legions, if they were to say that they were the most powerful without relying on equipment, they belonged to the Assassin Battalion and the Scout Battalion.
And this time the task was to sneak into the enemy camp, which was the strength of the assassin camp.
Ye Tianchen nodded and said, "400 people are from the Assassin Battalion, and the remaining 100 people are from the Scout Battalion."
"In this way, send a few good people to infiltrate Prince Pengsi's mansion to inquire about news, and it's best to be able to grasp their every move." Li Xiao thought for a while and said.
"Your Highness, let me go!" Ye Tianchen said impatiently.
"you?"
Li Xiao looked suspicious.
"What? Is Your Highness looking down on me? Your Highness has forgotten? Just now I sneaked into the Leizhou barracks without being discovered."
Ye Tianchen showed dissatisfaction on his face.
"Okay, then you can try it." Li Xiao nodded, "But the most important thing is your own safety."
"understand!"
Ye Tianchen immediately smiled.
……
the other side.
Li Yuan returned to the barracks.
His tent was burned, so he had to find a temporary tent and called Xu Zian. At this time, the two were discussing things.
"Sir, it's fortunate that you reminded me, otherwise Li Xiao would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble."
Li Yuan exhaled a breath, and his whole body relaxed a lot.
"Why didn't you stop before, and changed your attitude when you heard about money?" Xu Zian asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, sir, you don't know how excited he was when I gave out 80 taels of silver. That kind of expression cannot be faked."
Li Yuan shook his head lightly, speechless in his heart.
"It seems that the lord has found Li Xiao's weakness, that's very good!" Xu Zian's eyes showed brilliance.
"What do you want to do, sir?" Li Yuanze asked doubtfully.
"Three days later, the prince will know, and the prince will have to perform a play at that time. We can't say it now, in case the wall has ears."
Xu Zian had a mysterious smile on his face.
Hearing this, Li Yuan nodded and did not continue to ask.
But then, his heart sank.
Isn't even your own barracks safe?
Before he knew it, Li Xiao had put such a lot of pressure on him.
"Come on!"
Li Yuan shouted suddenly.
Then, a ministry will come in.
"Have you found out? How did those people sneak in? How could they have my Leizhou armor?"
