The west wing of Huo Mansion is brightly lit.

There is a large Eight Immortals table in the room, which is filled with hot plates and various dishes.

The head of the Huo family, Huo Xi, personally went to the door of the Huo Mansion to welcome Li Chenan and Wu Xichen in.

He originally thought that the old man wearing a bamboo hat was a coachman. He wanted his servants to take the coachman to a side room for dinner, but Li Chenan stopped him.

Li Chenan didn't explain, so Huo Xi couldn't refuse.

"Mr. Li, I am getting older and older, and these tricks are really getting muddier!"

Huo Xi led the way and said to Li Chenan as he walked: "I have done some things that I can't bear to do to Mr. Li. Mr. Li has done a lot. Please don't take those things to heart!"

The old man came sincerely, and Li Chenan laughed, "The head of the Huo family is serious! In fact, I don't know what the Huo family has done."

"Last night, Huo Tongpan found out that they wanted to attack my wine shop. They were just small fish and shrimps in the world and have nothing to do with your Huo family!"

These words were pleasant to hear, and when they fell into Huo Xi's ears, his heart immediately relaxed a little.

Because he was sure that Li Chenan was a smart person.

He likes to deal with smart people. Everyone can understand each other's meaning with just one word or look.

"What Mr. Li said is absolutely true. They are just small fishes and shrimps with no eyesight. However, the common people in Guangling City like to gossip and say that it is because I, the Huo Mansion, cannot see the rise of Mr. Li... those rumors

It doesn't matter to me, but I am worried that Mr. Li will become suspicious. So I invited Mr. Li to come and sit in my house. Firstly, I can talk things over and eliminate the misunderstanding in your mind. Secondly..." Zhe

"Those misunderstandings will definitely cause some trouble to Mr. Li. This is the fault of the Huo Mansion. The Huo Mansion should compensate Mr. Li for this loss!"

As soon as Huo Xi's words came out, Li Chenan was immediately impressed, and at the same time, he was alert.

This old man can make Huo Mansion a first-class family in Guangling City. He does have a different vision and a different structure.

Compare with Shen Qianshan and judge!

He also showed a bright smile and his words became more polite.

"This... will cost the Huo family master a lot of money!"

"It's not that I, Li Chenan, am coveting the Huo family master's money, it's just that my peach blossom wine has just been put on sale and I haven't made any money yet, so I'm really a little nervous."

"The main thing is the Guangling Branch of the Ichthyosaurus Club!"

"The last helmsman... does the Huo Family Master know about that? The guy named Song Yuanping died happily, but all the brothers of the Ichthyosaur Society in Guangling City were buried with him, and he didn't leave anyone behind.

A penny's worth of money comes down."

"I have been commissioned by the higher-ups to rebuild the Guangling branch, and I really need money to recruit troops."

"However, the elder who gave me the helmsmanship order said that the superiors would allocate ten thousand taels of silver. The money has not arrived yet, but it is imperative to rebuild the Guangling branch..."

"Master Huo can lend me 10,000 taels of silver first. Once the money allocated from above arrives, I will pay it back to you!"

Huo Xi's heart skipped a beat. He originally thought of paying Li Chenan a thousand taels of silver as compensation, which should be able to convince Li Chenan of the Huo Mansion's sincerity. But he didn't expect that Li Chenan would open his mouth like a lion.

Although ten thousand taels of silver is not much for the Huo family, it is still what the Huo family sells by selling wine pound for pound!

The subsequent large-scale purchase of autumn grains and Huo Baiyang's huge expenditure in Kyoto will all require money, and once Guangling Powder is impacted by his peach blossom brew, his ability to earn money will become weaker and weaker... Although Li Chenan said it was a loan, he

But I understand that this loan must not be repaid.

Huo Xi thought about counting the breaths like this, but Li Chenan gave him a look, "Is it possible that the Huo family is worried that I, Li Chenan, will not keep my word?"

"Ah, no, I was thinking that the Guangling helm is extremely important, and a mere ten thousand taels of silver will definitely not be enough, so I decided to give Mr. Li ten thousand taels of silver later, plus the ten thousand taels allocated from above, I believe that Mr. Li

Young Master will definitely be able to make the Guangling sub-rudder look impressive!"

Saying this, the group of people had arrived at the door of the west wing.

Huo Xi stood on one side and stretched out his hand: "Master Li, please!"

"Master Huo, please!"

There are actually only three people at one table.

The maid standing aside walked over cautiously with light steps, poured wine for them, and quietly retreated to the door.

Huo Xi picked up the wine glass and pointed at Li Chenan:

"This first glass of wine is my tribute to Master Li for his magnanimous mind. After drinking this glass of wine, I invite Master Li to put all those gossips behind him!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Huo, I have already forgotten about you!"

"Okay! Let's have a drink together. From now on, the Li and Huo families will often visit each other!"

"Master Huo is interested, let's have a drink!"

The two foxes immediately became intimate after a glass of wine, so much so that Wu Xichen, who was sitting aside, was in a trance, and suddenly felt that the old and the young seemed to have become friends who talked about everything sincerely.

"From now on, Mr. Li will run the Guangling branch. I, the Huo family, still have many things to rely on Mr. Li. When the time comes, Mr. Li must not refuse!"

"The Huo Family Master's words make sense. Actually, I have many places where I need help from the Huo Family Master in Guangling City."

"For example, the connections in business, and the understanding of the entire Guangling Prefecture... Of course, the identity of the leader of the Fish and Dragon Society is very prestigious, but this scenery is not bright enough for me."

Huo Xi was startled, "So... Mr. Li's ambition is not here yet?"

"We are so familiar, let me tell you something that comes from my heart," Li Chenan leaned over and whispered to Huo Xi, "Actually, the Huo family master also understands that this is his identity as a thug!"

"Your Majesty is a close minister of the Crown Prince!"

"Sooner or later, this prince will be the emperor of our country of Ning. When the time comes that the young master will soar into the sky, he will definitely be the prime minister of our country of Ning!"

"I'm also thinking that I can ask the Huo family master to do his best for Prime Minister Huo in terms of our friendship!"

As soon as this fancy sedan was carried, Huo Xi's heart became full of joy.

"Hahahaha, to borrow Mr. Li's good words, if such a day comes, I will definitely not forget Mr. Li!"

The two drank freely, like old friends. After drinking a bottle of wine, Li Chenan did not return until late at night.

Huo Mansion Study Room.

Huo Xi, who was blushing, held the tea cup handed over by Huo Shufan and narrowed his eyes slightly, "This guy is a real person!"

"I listen to it all the time, but I don't know whether his words are true or false!"

Huo Chuanming on the side pondered for a moment and said: "After all, he is just a seventeen-year-old boy, and he really wants to have a better future."

Horch made no comment.

"Prepare a banknote worth ten thousand taels and deliver it to him tomorrow!"

"No matter what happens to this boy, if he can become Shu Yi's husband, he may also be a great help to Bai Yang!"

"If he really marries Zhongli Ruoshui... it would be worthwhile to consider Shuyi as a concubine!"
