"Brother Li, to be honest, I am here this time to discuss important matters."
Jia Jing said solemnly.
"Brother Jia, please speak." Li Daoqiang became more serious and extended his hand.
"The imperial court of the Song Dynasty wants to ask Brother Li to deal with someone." Jia Jing said straight to the point.
The four words "Song Dynasty Court" invisibly distanced me from the Song Dynasty Court and became closer to Li Daoqiang.
"Who?" Li Daoqiang asked without any surprise.
"Magician, Pang Ban." Jia Jing spit out four words.
Li Daoqiang's brows were the same and he said nothing, but there was a little more interest in his brows, indicating that he wanted to continue talking.
Jia Jing felt a little weird.
Others, even if they are also peerless experts, will at least be solemn when they hear about dealing with Pang Ban.
However, Li Daoqiang was not solemn, but interested.
It's like I'm interested in a big deal.
This confidence alone is enough to make him feel a bit admired.
Thinking of the danger of this matter, his expression suddenly became more serious, and he said sincerely: "Brother Li, Pang Ban is definitely not easy to deal with.
His strength is so unfathomable that he is probably only one step away from the realm of heaven and man.
The danger of this is unimaginable.
Before coming, Shi Xian and I had discussed it carefully and it would be better not to agree."
With the current relationship between the two parties, the Jia family does not want Li Daoqiang to take this risk.
"Thank you, Brother Jia, for your concern."
Li Daoqiang clasped his hands into fists, thanked him sincerely, and then said seriously: "Brother Jia, why not tell us carefully first, what price can the Song Dynasty court offer?"
Jia Jing sighed softly in his heart, and without further persuasion, he said solemnly: "Brother Li, I believe you also know something about the situation in the Song Dynasty court.
Outside, the Meng Yuan Dynasty is watching with eager eyes, while inside, various forces are still staring at the disappearing Heshi Bi.
The longer time passes, the more unfavorable it will be for the Song Dynasty court.
Therefore, it is imperative to fight the Mongolian and Yuan armies and defeat them.
At this time, the Song Dynasty court was recruiting strong men from all over to fight.
It is precisely because of the relationship between our families that I came to your place, Brother Li, to negotiate with you on behalf of the Song Dynasty court."
Li Daoqiang looked thoughtful on his face, but he was already excited in his heart.
The big fat cow came to your door on its own initiative.
He is not afraid of big things, but he is afraid that things are not big and the benefits are not big enough.
"Brother Jia, as far as I know, the powerful men from the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties have not come in droves. Does the Song Dynasty still need to invite people from outside?" Li Daoqiang asked with a hint.
These words were naturally a test to inquire about the power of the Song Dynasty court.
If anyone else knew about it, they wouldn't talk too much to him.
But Jia Jing is not someone else. Based on the relationship between the two parties, Li Daoqiang is still somewhat sure.
Sure enough, Jia Jing just sighed and said seriously: "Brother Li, in our relationship, we don't need those polite words.
What do you think of the Song Dynasty court?"
Li Daoqiang's heart moved slightly, he pondered for a moment, and then said with reservation: "The situation is complicated and difficult to describe."
"Brother Li, you are being polite." Jia Jing narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "Who among the ambitious people in the world doesn't know? The Song Dynasty has long been in decay, and the fact that the northern land was captured by outsiders such as Meng Yuan is the most powerful proof.
How can such a decadent court win the hearts of the people?
Most of the strong men in the world are selfish, let alone facing such a court, how many are willing to fight for it?
Which of the aristocratic families, Taoist or Buddhist sects, does not have reservations and be wise in protecting oneself?
It's just that the Song Dynasty court has not yet been completely destroyed, and there are foreign threats, so all parties have to support it.
There are only a few people who are truly loyal.”
Li Daoqiang gradually looked at Jia Jing with a strange expression. He really didn't expect that Jia Jing was so "frank" and directly expressed his disdain for the Song Dynasty court.
There was no respect at all in his words.
This is absolutely treacherous and contemptible to his identity.
After all, the Jia family was the one who benefited from the Song Dynasty.
The Jia family doesn't want to compete in the world, so they deliberately test me, right?
Li Daoqiang couldn't help but have this idea in his mind, and he was a little unsure.
But he didn't bother to think that no matter what the Jia family's purpose was, it wouldn't affect him.
And he never had a good impression of cowards.
He immediately laughed more cordially and said: "Brother Jia is honest, so I won't be polite. To be honest, I don't like any of the emperors of the Song Dynasty. They are all useless.
If Mengyuan hadn't been a foreigner, I would have wanted them to win."
Originally, Jia Jing didn't take Li Daoqiang's strange look seriously and responded calmly. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile.
He nodded heavily and said with a sense of confidant: "That's right. It's a pity. There are so many heroes in my Han family.
However, because of the Zhao family, the group was leaderless and faced repeated defeats against foreigners.
Brother Li, can you understand why there are not enough strong men in the Song Dynasty court?
Without it, it would be unpopular."
Li Daoqiang paused and suddenly said seriously: "Brother Jia, do the Jia family have any intention of changing the world?"
Jia Jing was startled, then laughed loudly and said frankly: "Brother Li, you really misunderstood."
Li Daoqiang raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Haha, that's normal." Jia Jing smiled again and said frankly: "The words I just said are indeed easy for Brother Li to misunderstand.
But does Brother Li know the rules of survival of my aristocratic family?"
"Brother Jia, please speak." Li Daoqiang said solemnly.
"There are aristocratic families in the world that have lasted for thousands of years, but there has never been a dynasty that lasted for thousands of years.
This is something that cannot be changed.
But for aristocratic families, dynasty and throne are nothing.
The continuity of the family is the first priority.
But if you get to that position, the family inheritance will inevitably be cut off within a few hundred years."
Jia Jing's expression became more and more serious, and without any concealment, he said slowly: "Of course, that position is indeed very tempting, and there are always people from wealthy families who can't help but take action.
But Shi Xian and I definitely don’t have that idea at least now.
and·····"
After a pause, Jia Jing stared at Li Daoqiang and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, no matter what you think, I still want to give you some advice.
The world seems to be different now, and a big change is likely to occur.
At this time, the more you move, the worse the outcome may be.
The best strategy is to remain concealed, follow the trend, and secretly accumulate strength."
Li Daoqiang was shocked and changed drastically.
Instinctively, I thought of what Ge Shutian said that day.
He asked in confusion: "Brother Jia, what's the big change?"
"I'm not sure of the specific circumstances, but it's probably related to the celestial changes that occurred more than a thousand years ago.
In that case, it would be a stormy situation.
All in all, being cautious is the best policy." Jia Jing said solemnly.
"Brother Jia means that the celestial changes that occurred more than a thousand years ago will happen again?" Li Daoqiang's expression changed and he was shocked.
"Not sure, but it's possible." Jia Jing shook his head.
Li Daoqiang was silent for a moment, as if he was digesting the shocking news. After a while, he clasped his fists and said gratefully: "Brother Jia, thank you very much."
"Brother Li, you're welcome. The relationship between you and me now can be said to be of the same spirit. It's just a little bit of news." Jia Jing said boldly.
Li Daoqiang smiled and agreed, knowing in his heart that the other party really regarded him as an ally to further maintain and close the relationship.
At that moment, he also expressed his position directly: "Brother Jia, no matter what, if one day the Jia family has an idea, just say it bluntly, I, Li Daoqiang, will never let the Jia family down."
He didn't know if the Jia family really didn't have that idea now, but whether they did or not, it didn't hurt him.
Jia Jing showed a smile and said firmly: "The same goes for the Jia family. No matter what, the Jia family will never let down Brother Li."
The two met and smiled, and the atmosphere became more harmonious and cordial in silence.
Li Daoqiang took the initiative to change the topic to business and said with a smile: "Brother Jia, please ask me to take action against Pang Ban, what step do you want me to do?
What price can the Song court pay?"
Jia Jing was shocked and a little suspicious.
Which step should be taken?
Is Li Daoqiang really so confident that he can defeat Pang Ban?
How far has he reached?
I am curious in my heart, but even with the relationship between the two parties, I cannot ask directly about this kind of thing about my own strength.
"The intention of the Song Dynasty court is to block Pang Ban, and it would be better if we can defeat him.
In terms of price, I wonder if Brother Li wants the throne?" Jia Jing said with a chuckle.
"What's the use of the throne? What's more, I have to live under the royal family of the Song Dynasty. I don't want to find someone to sit on my head." Li Daoqiang said disdainfully without even thinking about it.
He is not interested even in a throne with a fief.
As long as he is strong, he doesn't need that so-called name at all.
For example, if he now says that Jingzhou belongs to him, how many people in the world would disagree in their hearts?
Jia Jing was not surprised, it was just expected, he smiled easily and said: "I know that a mere throne is not in Brother Li's eyes at all.
So I have fought for the best interests beforehand.
As long as Brother Li can stop Pang Ban, 100 million taels of silver will be given.
And if I can defeat Pang Ban, I will get another twenty million taels of silver."
He said this amount comfortably, and he didn't pay for it anyway.
He didn't bargain at all and directly stated Zhao's bottom line.
"make a deal."
Li Daoqiang's smile became a little brighter and he agreed immediately.
It's just a matter of blocking Pang Ban, and it's not like offending Meng Yuan to death. One hundred million taels of silver is very sincere, and he can't refuse it.
After deciding the deal neatly, Li Daoqiang entertained Jia Jing alone.
During this period, Jia Tanchun came to visit once.
Afterwards, Jia Jing left quietly without disturbing other people in Heilong Village.
In the study, Li Daoqiang began to think carefully about this matter.
The Song court wanted to fight a decisive battle to repel the Mongolian and Yuan armies, thereby resolving the increasingly unfavorable situation caused by He's Bi.
There are not enough strong people, so we can only recruit people everywhere.
It's just a trivial matter for him to resist Pang Ban.
How can he obtain greater benefits from it?
Maybe, it's time...
For a while, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
For more than ten days after that, Li Daoqiang was no different from before, continuing to accompany his wife, manage the village, and train Jiang Yuyan.
The one-month deadline for Jiang Yuyan is coming soon.
In the Juyi Hall, Li Daoqiang stood, with Jiang Yuyan in front of him.
He raised his right hand and patted Jiang Yuyan's thin shoulder, with a hint of encouragement and expectation in his smile: "Go, I'm waiting for your good news.
Remember, I'm not afraid of trouble, but only if you have the qualifications to let me take responsibility for the trouble you cause.
Understand?"
"Yes, Yuyan understands."
Jiang Yuyan, who was already an innate master, still looked soft and weak in front of Li Daoqiang, lowering her head and saying respectfully.
"very good."
Li Daoqiang stretched out his hands and held Jiang Yuyan's petite body in his arms, his attitude was very intimate and gentle.
Jiang Yuyan's body stiffened, and then she softened in Li Daoqiang's arms.
(Sleep, there is still one day left in the New Year countdown.)
