Li Feng said: "What does this have to do with me?"
"It does matter." Jiang Danning continued: "When I first came here, I brought a group of elite warriors with me. However, we passed through dangerous seas and suffered heavy losses."
"There is no one available for me at the moment and I need your help."
When Jiang Ying and Jiang Junxiong heard this, their eyes suddenly flashed with surprise.
Li Feng frowned and said, "You want me to work for you."
"When talking to smart people, just tell the truth." Jiang Danning shook the delicate wine glass and said with a smile.
Li Feng said calmly: "Sorry, I don't like to be restrained."
"Li Feng, you have to think clearly, the eldest lady is not an ordinary person in our family." Jiang Ying on the side couldn't help but said.
"She is the core direct descendant of our family, and holds a lot of family resources in her hands. If you work with the eldest lady, your future will be bright."
"Don't be ignorant of praise."
Li Feng's expression remained unchanged: "I have said before, in the face of freedom, any conditions you offer are cheaper than water."
"Li Feng, don't speak too harshly." Jiang Danning was not angry after hearing what Li Feng said.
Instead, he stared at Li Feng with great interest and said, "Li Feng, as far as I know, you are not a citizen of Senluo Sea Area."
"You are just a commoner from an abandoned island. Your family conditions are very poor. Your parents are both commoners and make a living by catching fish and hunting. You also have a younger sister Li Ye. Your family lives in a wooden house and is impoverished."
"The tribesmen around you are all gathered on an ordinary island. They live in poverty. They are often plundered and harassed by pirates and lead a miserable life."
"Don't you want to change this hard life for them?"
Jiang Danning's words suddenly touched on Li Feng's weak point. He couldn't help but look up at him, and the two eyes instantly collided in mid-air.
Li Feng could not care about anything, but he could never not care about his close relatives and his clan members.
This woman really knew his details very clearly.
"What do you mean?" Li Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with some confusion.
Jiang Danning said: "What I mean is very simple. You come to my side and do three things well. I will find a way to settle your family."
"Do three things well and settle down my family?" Li Feng frowned.
Jiang Danning nodded and said: "I can bring your parents to Langye Island and arrange for them to become citizens of the Senluo Sea Area. Then I can also send your sister to the best college in the Senluo Sea Area to study."
The other party's words made Li Feng's heart move, and his originally indifferent expression became a little more interesting.
Jiang Danning's conditions indeed sound very tempting.
Li Feng can not think about himself, but he can't not think about his family.
Everything he did was not only to change the status quo, to change the poverty life of his family, but also to prevent his tribe from being plundered and invaded by pirates.
Now, someone can help him do this in advance, why doesn't he have any idea in his mind?
It is much easier than wandering around alone, trying to find ways to provide for your family.
After all, as a direct descendant of a large family, Jiang Danning holds a high position and controls a large amount of resources. She does have the ability to take care of his relatives.
Li Feng pondered for a moment, with many thoughts passing through his mind, and then said: "I can do things for you, but you can't restrict my freedom."
"Okay." Jiang Danning said calmly, but he was thinking about something else.
She is not very familiar with Li Feng now, and they don't know many details about each other.
Jiang Danning planned to contact Li Feng for a while to make plans. When the relationship gradually became familiar and the time was right, she did not believe that Li Feng could escape from her grasp.
"Is this a deal?" Li Feng asked.
Jiang Danning was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "You can understand it that way."
"Then tell me what you want me to do for you?" Li Feng said straight to the point.
Jiang Danning took a sip of red wine and said slowly: "The first thing is what I just mentioned to you before. The two core disciples of my family are the ones who control the Langye Island area."
"However, behind the family's back, they secretly mined mineral veins, tortured miners, and illegally resold family assets. This has seriously damaged the family's interests."
"I came here this time with orders to arrest them and take them back to the family headquarters to enforce family law."
"However, there is no one around me for the time being. You are quite capable and can just come over and help me."
Li Feng was a little stunned, and then asked: "Where are they now, how strong are they, and are there any powerful characters around them who are difficult to deal with."
When Jiang Danning saw that Li Feng was willing to serve for him, he suddenly had a charming smile on his lips: "Those two family members are now on Zilan Island, dozens of miles northwest of Langye Island. They have the strength of six-star warriors. How can we solve this problem?"
They shouldn't be too difficult for you."
"However, in the past few years, they have made a lot of money by reselling ore without telling the family. They have already recruited a group of exiled warriors around them."
"And from the information provided by the family, we know that he has also recruited two very powerful martial arts masters."
"They all have the strength of eight-star warriors and are very difficult to deal with."
"Originally, I planned to wait for half a month and send experts from the family headquarters to provide support."
"But I see that you are quite capable, and I plan to give you this opportunity."
Hearing Jiang Danning's words, Li Feng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he sneered in his heart: "Give me this opportunity, to put it nicely, you are planning to test my strength."
"This woman is cunning."
Jiang Ying, who was on the side, shouted in a rough voice: "Hey, boy, this kind of opportunity comes only once in a lifetime, you have to seize it."
"Miss, there is no shortage of experts around her."
"Okay, I'll take over this matter." Li Feng said immediately.
Jiang Danning was immediately happy: "Very good, it's settled."
"Three days later, we gathered at the port."
Three days later, a warship sailed quickly on the calm sea, cutting through the waves at a very fast speed.
This warship is thirty meters long, has two floors, and carries twenty or thirty people.
These people were uniformly dressed in dark blue battle uniforms, silver-patterned combat boots, and standard combat knives. They all had cold faces and murderous intent.
On the open-air deck, there were several people standing at the moment. Jiang Danning was wearing a blue-black battle armor, a purple cloak, and an exquisite purple soft sword wrapped around his waist.
She has a graceful figure, and her silky black hair is blowing in the wind. There is a faint fragrance, which is very moving. Looking from a distance, it makes people feel distraught.
In addition to her, there are Jiang Junxiong, Jiang Ying, Li Feng and others.
Ever since Yuan Jifeng and Jiang Danning got into trouble because of Li Feng's incident, they never appeared on the Jiang family's warship again.
It is unknown what conflicts occurred between the two parties after they returned to the island.
The warship traveled extremely fast on the sea, riding the wind and waves as fast as lightning. It only took half a day to reach the destination of the trip, Purple Orchid Island.
Not far away on the sea, a small island gradually appeared in front of everyone.
There are a lot of trees growing on the island, which is lush and green, and the scenery is very beautiful.
In the center of the island, there is a large mine, which is rich in a kind of jade called amethyst.
After this kind of ore is finely ground and polished, the finished product is a piece of natural purple jade, which can be made into high-end rings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets and other jewelry, and sold to wealthy families, which is extremely precious.
This vein contains a large amount of rough amethyst quartz, which is of inestimable value.
The mining rights have always been firmly in the hands of the Tulip family and are a very important source of income for the Jiang family. Currently, the two direct descendants of the Jiang family are in charge of management.
Their names are Jiang Junhao and Jiang Tianhou respectively.
Clang, clang, clang, clang....
In the mine, the sound of smashing gravel kept coming, whether at night or during the day, it never stopped.
There are a large amount of waste stones piled around the ore, and hundreds of miners are scattered around. They have a clear division of labor. Some are responsible for mining, some are responsible for transporting, and some are responsible for selecting.
Carrying shovels, pickaxes, or stretchers on their backs, they were going in and out of the dark caves, busy as hell.
Around the ore, there were forty or fifty burly men guarding and patrolling.
Just like watching a flock of sheep, his eyes were constantly patrolling the miners below. Once he found someone lazy, he would immediately whip him hard.
Most of the miners in the mine are half-clothed and unkempt, looking like beggars. Their bodies are covered in bruises and scars from years of beatings.
"Damn, hurry up, I haven't eaten yet." A strong man who looked like an overseer stood on the stone, grabbed a long whip in his hand, and beat an old and weak miner hard.
The ferocious look, as if he wanted to eat people, frightened the miners around him with frightened expressions and they did not dare to disobey in the slightest.
The old miner who was beaten suddenly let out a scream, grimaced in pain, panted, and was out of breath. He soon fell down and was dying.
When the strong man who looked like a supervisor saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown, and shouted with a ferocious expression: "Pretend to be dead, get up and work for me quickly."
With that said, there was a snap, and the whip was struck hard on the chest of the old miner, causing the skin and flesh to burst open, and blood to splash out.
The old miner was beaten so hard that he twitched a few times, rolled his eyes, and suddenly stopped moving.
When the strong man saw this scene, he whipped him several more times. When the old miner didn't react at all, he cursed and said, "Unlucky, another one died."
"Come here, take it away for me. Mr. Li Sanbo's pet happens to be hungry. Please feed it some meat."
Hearing the overseer's sneer, two sturdy exiled warriors quickly rushed behind them. They roughly grabbed the corpse of the miner who had just died and walked towards a manor not far away.
The miners who were still working hard looked at this scene with numb faces, and many of them were a little surprised.
"Damn it, if you don't kill people, but feed the corpses of our miners to monsters, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"They don't treat us as human beings, and they want us to work for them wholeheartedly."
"Too cruel."
Some of the young coolies who had just been trafficked into this place were gnashing their teeth and trembling with anger.
For the disciples of the aristocratic family, this mine is a mountain of gold and silver, with inexhaustible wealth.
But for all miners, this place is a hell on earth. Once you enter, you can never get out.
Once you escape and are caught, the consequences will be worse than death.
Just like the old miner who was beaten to death, after he died, he was not buried at all, but was directly thrown to a monster by the guards to eat him.
The owner of the monster is one of the big shots in charge of this mine. I heard from many guards that that man's name is Li Sanbo and he is a very scary person.
Next to the ore, a luxurious manor was built, surrounded by more than thirty guards. The big shots were living and drinking, having fun, and having a great time.
"Brothers, we have had a good harvest this year and made a lot of money. You have worked hard during this period. Have fun today and eat and drink hard. Later I will call some other beauties from outside to come over and let the brothers relax."
The hall of the manor is magnificent and magnificent.
In the center of the hall, there is a long table filled with various food and drinks.
At this moment, four big shots were sitting, exchanging cups and cups with each other, talking loudly, and laughter kept coming from the hall, making it very lively.
The leader was a handsome man wearing a light blue robe, decorated with various exquisite silver ornaments. He looked about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked very domineering.
"Brother Junhao, we have been here working hard for you for two years."
"This ore is rich in purple jade and is of inestimable value. You and your brother Jiang Tianhou have made a lot of money in the past few years."
"Should we also give the two of us some additional income?"
"When we were pirates, our income for just one month was much better than staying here for a year."
A strong brown-haired man with a muscular build and cold eyes like an eagle said calmly.
"That's right. We are eight-star warriors. We have lowered our status to work as thugs for you two brothers and guard this mine. We are paid two hundred thousand gold coins a year. The treatment is a bit unsatisfactory. What do you think we should do?"
A burly man with a tall stature and fists as big as sandbags also nodded in agreement.
When Jiang Junhao and Jiang Tianhou, who was sitting next to him, heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
Li Sanbo and Pang Long were a little greedy. From what they said, it seemed that they were jealous of the huge interests of the mine and were ready to ask them to redistribute the interests of the mine.
However, this mine is the property of the Jiang family, and the purple jade produced every year is of unimaginable value, but a large amount of money earned from it belongs to the family.
Although the two brothers are descendants of the Jiang family and are responsible for managing the mine, their annual income is only a fixed income. Compared to the huge benefits of the mine, their income is almost negligible.
As time goes by, in the face of huge interests, it is impossible for them to run out of ideas.
A few years ago, they began to use some shady means to seek benefits.
But as time went by, the two became more and more ambitious and greedy.
So they spent a lot of money to secretly sell family members, or sent people to assassinate the supervisors sent by the family, faked the scene of accidental death, and gradually took control of the mine.
Not only that, in order to have absolute control over the mineral veins and prevent the people below from rebelling, he spent a lot of money and invited a large number of exiled warriors to stay with him to stabilize his power.
The two people sitting in front of them were the two powerful men they hired.
That lean man with a strong body was Li Sanbo. He was born among pirates and was an extremely powerful and vicious man. The reason why he has been hiding on Purple Orchid Island in the past few years is because he offended a certain big shot in the Canglan Islands, so he had to take shelter temporarily.
head.
The burly man next to him with fists the size of sandbags is Pang Long, who is also an eight-star warrior and is famous for being ruthless on Purple Orchid Island.
"Then what does Brother Li mean?" Jiang Junhao waved away the surrounding attendants and couldn't help frowning.
Li Sanbo sat on the chair, rubbing the emerald ring on his thumb with both hands, and said slowly: "It's very simple, everyone is looking for money, you two brothers have made a lot of money, why don't you give us a drink of soup."
"Then what do you two mean? Let me tell you clearly." A young man with a fat head and big ears lost his temper and said with a cold face.
Li Sanbo grinned and said: "Brother Tianhou, don't be so angry. We are all partners and we will spend a lot of time together in the future."
"Humph, if you want to cooperate, you must at least be sincere!" Jiang Tianhou said angrily.
Li Sanbo sneered and said: "Since we have to speak openly, let's say it openly. From now on, we will share 50% of the profits from this mine. If anything goes wrong in the future, we will take care of it for you."
"What, 50/50?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Junhao and Jiang Tianhou couldn't help but stand up, their faces looking extremely ugly.
This mine originally belonged to the Jiang family. The two brothers spent a lot of energy to control it and make a lot of money.
But Li Sanbo and Pang Long were hired by them with a lot of money, and the two parties only had an employment relationship.
However, these two people are greedy for the interests of the mine and want the lion to share the interests of the mine equally with them. Isn't this just inviting the wolf into the house?
"Why, you don't want to?" Li Sanbo raised his head and looked at Jiang Junhao, with a fierce look on his face.
Jiang Tianhou and Jun Hao couldn't help but feel frightened when they saw Uncle Li Sanbo's fierce look.
After being together for such a long time, they knew very well that Uncle Li San was cruel and ruthless.
Once they disobey him, it is inevitable that Uncle Li will not do anything that they will regret.
At this moment, a guard rushed in from outside the hall, sweating profusely and looking extremely frightened.
"No, sirs, there is a situation outside the Purple Orchid Island." The guard in black said nervously.
After everyone heard this, they immediately stopped quarreling, and the scene suddenly became quiet. They all looked up at the guard in black.
Jiang Junhao looked solemn and said: "What's going on, panic, what happened."
The guard in black looked frightened and said: "A warship rushed from the outer sea, flying the family flag."
When Jiang Tianhou and Jiang Junhao heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
