"For example... a gambling game! What we lack most now is wealth and resources!"
Hearing what Li Mi said, most of the people in Wagang Mountain changed their faces slightly and were quite moved. The Wagang Army is indeed in this situation now. Otherwise, the Wagang Army's momentum, strength, military power, etc. could be doubled several times.
.
The Wagang Army was born into thieves and bandits who could not survive, and they were originally a bunch of poor people. Even if they took advantage of the opportunity to rise, they would still be very poor, and even the basic food and clothing problems have not been completely solved.
However, Dong Gong Zhai Rang was not a ruthless and ruthless tycoon who would do anything to achieve his goals. He strictly prohibited the Wagang Army from disturbing the people, looting, etc. He only targeted some forces with notorious evil deeds. Naturally, they could not make a fortune. The wealth and resources of the Wagang Army could not afford to support them.
Crazy expansion of power.
Zhai Rang frowned and thought deeply, but Xu Shiji was quite unhappy and hesitated: "Isn't this... bad?"
"From the following point of view, this is a matter of great benefit and no harm. In this conference, our main purpose is to make a name for ourselves, establish our authority, recruit talents, etc. Do we really want to win the first place? Who has such confidence? Although Zhijie
If you are strong, defeat will happen sooner or later, what difference does it make?"
Li Mi shook his head and explained patiently. After a pause, he continued: "To be honest, even if we are confident of winning the championship, from my point of view, it is best not to do so. The winner this time will definitely become the target of public criticism.
Therefore, whether it is the imperial court or the rebel army, they will all focus on us, which is obviously not done by a wise man, so why not take this opportunity to show weakness and work for everyone's benefit!"
Having said this, he paused for a moment, looked around at everyone with a sincere face and asked, "Let's think about it calmly, is this true?"
Wang Bodang, Wang Ruxin, Hao Xiaode, Zhai Hong and others obviously nodded in agreement. This truth is indeed simple and easy to understand.
Xu Shiji shook his head with obvious disapproval, frowned and replied: "I understand what Mr. Li means. But after all, Zhijie is one of our own, so it's okay to say it earlier. Now... we are brothers. I haven't asked Zhijie, so I
Isn’t it inappropriate to use him?”
"Since we are brothers, why should we care about this? This is something that benefits everyone. Wouldn't Zhijie refuse to agree? Based on my understanding of Zhijie, he will definitely be the first to agree, right?"
Li Mi asked indifferently. After a pause, he quickly explained: "I didn't tell you in advance, just for the sake of acting. If you tell me in advance, you will not even have the will to fight. How can you confuse people?"
"Why……"
Xu Shiji opened his mouth and was speechless. He looked at everyone, only to find that except for Shan Xiongxin, Zhai Rang and others basically agreed. He couldn't help but sigh and said no more!
However, Xu Shiji's psychology was quite awkward.
Xu Shiji understood what Li Mi said, and even Xu Shiji thought more and further. However, they originally came together because of friendship and passion, but now... they are gradually becoming more utilitarian!
The larger the forest, the more birds there are. The larger the power, the more aspects to consider.
Even if he had another idea, Xu Shiji knew it was not appropriate to bring it up. After all, what Li Mi said was true and was indeed for the benefit of the Wagang Army.
Zhai Rang saw that no one objected, and Xu Shiji said no more. After thinking about it, he ordered: "Then... let Xuan Sui (Li Mi's nickname) be responsible for this matter!"
After saying this, he nodded to Jia Xiong and Wang Ruxin. The wealth of Wagang Army was in the hands of Zhai Rang's two most trusted aides.
"How much to bet, how to bet, and who is going to place the bet, we need to think carefully, so as not to backfire!" Jia Xiong was quite depressed and racked his brains to add something.
Ever since Xu Shiji and Li Mi joined the Wagang Army, Jia Xiong and Wang Ruxin felt that the threat was getting bigger and bigger. However, neither of them had anything to lose, and there was nothing they could do.
Originally, the incident involving King Xiewu a few days ago was the best opportunity to suppress Li Mi. However, Li Mi got past it. After all, Li Mi had made great contributions to the Wagang Army and had no obvious mistakes or culpability. Including Zhai Rang, he could not just do it.
Based on a few words from King Xie Wu, he was convicted as "unfounded".
However, the Duke Feng Hao and Pushan Gongying that Zhai Rang was about to confer on Li Mi were left in the dust.
…
After a while.
"please!"
After all, Luo Cheng is the heir apparent of a general, and he naturally has an extremely well-cultivated mind. His extraordinary gestures and actions made countless people look warmly in their eyes and respect him.
I have no choice but to admit that if there is no personal relationship, appearance and temperament are indeed the most important factors that affect the perception.
Although the betting market clearly favored Cheng Yaojin, most of the crowd of spectators around him favored Luo Cheng.
"The first axe!"
Cheng Yaojin was not polite. Without saying a word, he put the Xuanhua ax in his hand and slashed out with astonishing force, like splitting mountains and cracking the ground.
"Shh..."
Such a move immediately aroused a lot of boos. Under the influence of the atmosphere, Cheng Yaojin, who was originally high-spirited to fight, felt a little weak and a little depressed.
"What a power!"
Luo Cheng's jade face reflected the light, and he praised without hesitation as if he was happy to see the hunter's heart.
In contrast, Cheng Yaojin appeared even more unworthy and uneducated, which naturally made the atmosphere more biased towards Luo Cheng.
Praise for praise, Luo Cheng's movements were not slow at all. He flicked the five-hook divine flying silver spear in his hand, and the silver light swept quickly, like countless bright silver flowers blooming, dazzling people's eyes.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."
There was a dense and continuous clanging sound of metal, and the terrifying axe, which could split mountains and crack the earth, collapsed and weakened under the impact of countless silver lights.
"Brother Cheng is so powerful!"
Luo Cheng appeared on the left side of Cheng Yaojin, still praising generously.
"Zhijie...lost!"
It was just a move, Shan Xiongxin sighed.
Luo Cheng obviously knew about Cheng Yaojin's situation and did not challenge him. The Luo family gun was more skillful and flexible, and Luo Cheng himself was also very powerful, not much worse than Cheng Yaojin.
Innate restraint, Cheng Yaojin will definitely lose!
"Second Ax!"
"Third Ax!"
"Rumble..."
Sure enough, with the next two moves, Cheng Yaojin was still amusing himself, with astonishing momentum, attacking like a continuous wave, the moves were earth-shattering and frightening.
However, Luo Cheng took it gracefully and lightly. Although Luo Cheng changed three directions, he did not leave Cheng Yaojin too far and was completely within the range of the pre-built arena...
In other words, even if you get on the stage, it's still the situation before you.
"Brother Cheng, I accept it!"
The third time the ax fell, Cheng Yaojin was like a deflated rubber ball, and he suddenly died.
Luo Cheng's face was not red and he was not out of breath. He moved the silver gun in his hand and easily pressed it against Cheng Yao's neck and said.
This face, this strength, and this magnanimity are so impressive that people can't help but be impressed, and warm applause suddenly bursts out from around him.
"Hypocrisy! All three moves were dodges, and none of them were received. It is obvious that the victory is weak! If you face the defeated general (Emperor Lion) who was once the subordinate of the Demon King, let's see if you can still do this..."
Just in the midst of the heated atmosphere, a loud, unsuitable sound suddenly made the warm atmosphere stagnate.
"Li Tang?!"
Although he had expected it, Shan Xiongxin, who was still a little depressed, cheered up, looked at the pavilion opposite with red eyes, and murmured through gritted teeth.
After King Xiewu spoke frankly, Shan Xiongxin immediately went to seek confirmation.
Li Tang didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either. The fact is as King Xie Wu said, Shan Xiongzhong did die in the hands of Li Yuan. There are many people who know about it. It is not difficult to investigate if they want to. However, Shan Xiongxin and Wagang Army failed to find out.
That’s all!
