Two hundred and twenty-eight, Hezhou House - Profit maximization
Although Li Min and Qi Lianyu were brought back from the fallen forest by Chu Zizhan, they had never heard anything about Cheng Daren from Chu Zizhan, so they had no idea that Cheng Daren had defected to Chu Zizhan.
This time, Li Min suddenly saw Cheng Daren appearing in front of her, and she didn't think about anything else. In addition, Xu Meng just shouted, what he wanted made Li Min think that Cheng Daren's appearance this time was just the other party's personal behavior. In Li Min's opinion, Cheng Daren had reached some kind of cooperative relationship with Xu Meng and Xu Si and his father and son, so the other party appeared here.
"I didn't expect that the disciples of Baixiao Tang would be with the bandits." Li Min laughed, regardless of whether he was one of the bandits or not.
Cheng Daren smiled "hehe" and didn't say much. He didn't care at all about what Li Min said. He just looked at Xu Meng, and then turned to Xu Si.
"Boss, you are not authentic. You know that the thing was asked by the eldest prince, but you gave it to this little girl. Are you not worried that I will tell the eldest prince about this?"
After hearing this, Li Min realized Cheng Daren's position at this time. It turned out that he did not join the bandits, but defected to the eldest prince.
Li Min suddenly interrupted, "The people in Baixiaotang are really promising and know how to find a master."
Although Li Min's words were sarcastic, Cheng Daren was not annoyed at all, but turned his gaze towards Xu Si to Li Min.
"Little Nizi, if you want to find the master, our sect leader did it a year ago. I am just working together now. But it's just a remnant of you, the Tang family. When Tang Yi made trouble for Bai Xiaotang and took away that thing, I just took it back on behalf of the teacher. What's wrong with it?"
Xu Si, who was standing beside him, seemed a little confused when he heard Cheng Daren mention Tang Yi, then looked at Xu Meng, as if he wanted to get an answer from the other party's mouth.
"It turned out to be from the Tang family." Xu Meng murmured. Xu Si, a younger generation, may not know much about what happened back then, but Xu Meng still knew a little. Thinking of this, Xu Meng actually smiled and said with some self-deprecating words, "The second brother actually picked up a woman from the Tang family and came back."
"What kind of people from the Tang family?" Xu Si
Seeing that his father seemed to know about this, he hurriedly asked.
Xu Meng frowned, as if he had found news about this in his already old memories.
"I was still in North Korea at that time, and this leg was also complete," said Xu Meng, who smiled bitterly, then patted his prosthetic wooden leg, "I have only heard of Tang Yi, Brother Cheng, but I have never really seen him. He appeared in the territory of Chu, and then he killed Bai Xiaotang. As for why, I asked..."
Xu Meng's face darkened, as if he was reluctant to mention the person's name. He just calmed down a little, and then he spoke again: "I asked Deng Yue, and then I realized that the Tang family was originally an affiliated family of Baixiaotang, but later was expelled for unknown reasons. This was the fuse of that incident."
Only then did Xu Si roughly understand the entanglement between Li Min and Bai Xiaotang, and the feelings were all left by their elders.
"Your second uncle brought back a mother and daughter from somewhere, but he didn't expect to have such a life experience." Xu Meng sighed again when he said this.
Hearing this, Xu Si seemed to be a little surprised, and a light appeared in his eyes.
"Dad, do you think that fast jade pendant is something that Tang Yi brought back from Baixiaotang back then?"
Xu Si was already very excited. He originally looked at Chu Zizhan's attitude towards the fast jade pendant in Li Min's hand, but he thought it was an ordinary token, at most it could ask someone to help him do something, similar to a disposable consumable. Once the matter was done, it would have nothing to do.
Now that he heard this, Xu Si discovered something interesting. If the jade pendant was just an ordinary token that Bai Xiaotang had stolen for many years, then Chu Zizhan would not have had such great strength to send someone to find him. The disciple of Bai Xiaotang in front of him had even more desire for this jade pendant. Anyone could see that he was determined to win this thing.
This also made him look at the value of Li Min's jade pendant. Although Xu Si was not interested in the power behind this thing, what he was interested in was how to use this to gain the greatest benefit for himself or the entire deciduous forest.
"Dad," Xu Si's eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something, so he asked Xu Meng, "Where is Lord Wang now?"
Wang Lin was originally going to follow him, but his skills were too bad, and the ambushing of Li Min and Qi Lianyu needed to be carried out in secret, so it was not realistic to let Wang Lin follow him. So Wang Lin is still lying in the wing room, waiting for Xu Si to bring him news.
"It's still in his room." Xu Meng said.
Xu Si nodded, then waved to the people around him, and ordered: "Shanzi, go and bring Lord Wang here, and say that Brother Cheng will succeed immediately. When he comes, he will take Li Min and the jade pendant directly back to Kyoto Mansion."
Xu Si knew the purpose of Wang Lin coming this time, and also knew that Wang Lin knew that the jade pendant was in his hands. Xu Si had no intention of hiding it, and even admitted it openly, but he did not give it to Wang Lin immediately. He just said that after he grabbed Li Min, he would give it to him together, giving him a chance to make great contributions in the face of the eldest prince.
At that time, Wang Lin was naturally so happy that Xu Si said that he agreed happily.
At this time, Wang Lin was waiting for news in the wing room and suddenly heard that Li Min had been arrested. He jumped up from the bed with joy. He just took some necessary things and followed Shanzi to Xu Si.
Just before today, Wang Lin and Cheng Daren thought that after Xu Si captured Li Min, they would know the secret of the token. They would definitely not hand over the token to the two of them again. When the trouble broke out, they could not get out. It would be better to leave in advance and make a decision after notifying Chu Zizhan. However, Wang Lin and Cheng Daren were beaten to death at that time, they did not expect that Xu Si would actually have someone to drug them and tie them back here. It was clear that Xu Si wanted to "break up the tickets".
Just when Wang Lin and Cheng Daren were desperate, they heard the news that Li Min had escaped again. They seemed to be rekindled, waiting for Xu Si to come and let him go.
