Sometimes life is like a series of gambling games. Stud can make people lose everything or make people rich overnight.
Li Wenhao dared to bet on resistance, but he was betting that the Divine Power Army would not follow.
Li Mingde's matter can be big or small. To put it mildly, he has not caused the Shenwei Army to have civil strife. Even if it was brought to light, it would be an attempt at most, and he would lose his wife and lose his troops.
Liu Dutong could have picked it up high and put it down gently. After all, Chu Qianqiu had not suffered any losses.
So Li Wenhao went straight to stud.
Turn things into a coward's game to gain leverage in negotiations.
This method is not unwise.
If Chu Qianqiu insists on getting to the bottom of it, it means that the Li family will fully resist and choose to die together.
No matter how precious the Liangqin is, it cannot force the Li family to rebel against it. Even if the Shenwei military family has a great cause, it cannot let Chu Qianqiu go through such trouble.
When the time comes, both parties will take a step back and make the necessary compensation, and the matter will be settled.
However, Governor Li never expected that Chu Qianqiu would not follow the routine at all.
He actually doubled up.
You stud, I follow.
To describe it in one sentence, the Lord doesn’t care.
Then how to follow?
Do we really want to die together?
So Governor Li knelt down. He, a court official in his fifties, knelt down in front of Chu Qianqiu.
"Master Chu, we have something to discuss."
"This is just a trivial matter. There is no need to go to war."
"It's just that the Liangqin is the family treasure of the Li family and cannot be given away."
"If I are given away, even if I want to serve the Divine Power Army, I won't be able to command the Li family's children and clan elders."
Li Wenhao wailed loudly and cried blood every word.
At this time, he actually remembered the oath and curse sworn by the Cui family leader when the Cui family perished.
"Literary man, it was you who betrayed me."
"We have had decades of friendship, two generations of marriage, and you actually betrayed us."
"Aren't you afraid of being implicated?"
Cui Changdao, the head of the Cui family, looked at Li Wenhao in disbelief, but saw him sneer:
"Master Cui, what are you talking about?"
"The Li family has issued a letter of divorce to the daughter of the Cui family, and we will have no more relations with her from now on."
"Master Wang Ji knows everything clearly, how could he misunderstand it?"
"What's more, Li has a clear conscience for eliminating harm to the country."
"Hand over the Houde-Zaiwu Sword, and I'll leave a few alive for your Cui family. What do you think?"
"You are a thief, you are destined to die badly. The Li family is destined to end up like our Cui family."
Could it be that this drink and one peck are predestined?
"Master Li, get up."
"I'm not a hard-hearted person either."
Chu Qianqiu smiled softly, helped Li Wenhao up, pressed him on the seat, and then said calmly:
"If the Li family cannot accept the gift of [Rao Liang Qin], then it can be used as a mortgage item."
"Does it make any difference?"
Li Wenhao took a deep breath and asked in a low voice. He understood that the negotiation had reached the most critical moment.
"Of course there is a difference."
"The Yaoliang Qin still belongs to your Li family, but it has been temporarily put under the custody of the Shenwei Army."
"As long as the Li family redeems their mistake this time, the property will naturally return to its original owner."
Chu Qianqiu not only wants money, he also wants his life.
If the Shenwei Army had a dispute with the Li family, they would definitely lose some manpower, which is not worth the cost.
Chu Qianqiu asked for prices all over the place just to pay back the money.
If the Li family was asked to work for the Shenwei Army at the beginning, then Li Wenhao would definitely be unwilling. After all, the Li family mainly follows the prime minister and is one of the forces of the Confucian sect.

But now Chu Qianqiu has given him two choices, one is to fight with the Shenwei Army, which will result in the death of his whole family, and the other is to accept a certificate and serve the Shenwei Army.
This sounds acceptable.
"Do you want to use the Liangqin as a guarantee?" Li Wenhao is used to jumping left and right. He is naturally a smart man and an absolutely smart official, so he knows the elegant meaning of the stringed music when he hears it.
Li Wenhao realized it.
So he came to the conclusion that Chu Qianqiu didn't want to take away the Yaoliangqin, but wanted the Li family to submit a certificate.
"If, if the Li family has contributed to the Shenwei Army, can you really return the Yao Liang Qin?" Li Wenhao asked in a low voice.
He seemed to be in an extremely dark black hole, unable to find a trace of light. Suddenly, a bright color appeared in front of his eyes, and he could only hold on to the light tightly.
"A guarantee is a guarantee, and compensation is compensation."
"Don't you believe in your adoptive father's credibility in this regard?" Chu Qianqiu bet on Liu Dutong's reputation, which gave Li Wenhao a little more peace of mind.
Although Liu Dutong was decisive in killing, he was indeed very trustworthy and kept his promises.
"It's just a treasure weapon. It's very precious to the Li family. It's not worth wasting one's credit to the Shenwei Army."
Chu Qianqiu is like a devil from hell, tempting Li Wenhao step by step towards the abyss.
His heart is getting darker and darker, he not only wants money, but also his life.
After all, killing is meaningless. How to use the power of killing to squeeze out more wealth and resources for him is the key.
"Okay, let's consider it a guarantee." Li Wenhao gritted his teeth. If it was compensation, then the Li family would never be able to get it back to Liang Qin. Now if it becomes a guarantee, they can still accept it reluctantly.
As for applying for a certificate of honor, Li Wenhao has been doing all kinds of things for many years and has rich experience, so he can definitely take advantage of it.
If the Shenwei Army is defeated, he can just jump back when the time comes.
Considering that several of his daughters have married into the Wang family, it is not beyond negotiation.
"The guarantee is settled, let's talk about compensation." Chu Qianqiu chuckled.
Anyway, I have a time loop, and if the Yao Liang Qin falls into my hands, it is not considered a guarantee. I can eat it and just keep a few more backup copies when the time comes.
"Master Chu, please speak frankly." Li Wenhao felt like a piece of fish on the chopping board, letting Chu Qianqiu slaughter him, but at this point, he had no choice but to accept it.
"I heard that the Li family has a unique skill called "Tianguan Shu", which records the movement of celestial phenomena and the principles of rise and fall."
"If you practice this kind of martial arts, you can also condense the two true energy characteristics of [Heavenly Official] and [Xuanxiang], which is a rare martial arts treasure."
Chu Qianqiu smiled and said.
"Master Chu! Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!"
"If you peep at the Li family's secret knowledge, I will die even if you are a stone, and I will not let you succeed." Li Wenhao was finally willing to bow his head and be a dog. When he heard Chu Qianqiu's request, he immediately became excited again.
No family would entrust their own treasure book to the family. The Li family is good at observing stars and is quite accomplished in astronomy. Li Mingde chose to practice "Book of Changes" only after he went to Zhishan Academy. It can be said that they are of the same line.
Now that he heard Chu Qianqiu's request, even if he wanted to be a dog, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Master Li, please don't get excited." Chu Qianqiu patted his shoulder and pushed Li Wenhao, who had stood up, down to his seat again.
"I only want the first volume, and I don't plan on the whole book. What do you think?"
"This..." Li Wenhao hesitated.
Naturally, it is impossible to give the whole book, but it does not seem too serious to complete the reconciliation with only the first volume.
"Then, the Li family is willing."
"It's just that you can't make any more requests."
Li Wenhao sighed, and finally chose to give in. After all, the price of resisting was too heavy, and Li Wenhao did not dare to gamble.
Even if the imperial court can win in the end, the cost of his resistance to the Shenwei Army will be the death of his entire family, so why should he be so loyal?
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, this is all you need this time."
