Luo Chen's perception was so keen that the commander of Shang Da shuddered, quickly put away the coldness in his heart, and lied that he did not dare.
"The best thing is this. Within three days, I want to hear the news about the removal of the Li family. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences. Now, you can get out."
Hearing this, the commander of Shang Da and other black-armored troops were relieved and left in embarrassment. Luo Chen came to Shen Ke with a smile and said apologetically: "I made you worry."
"Just come back. Don't make me wait so long next time."
Shen Ke looked at Luo Chen and asked him to make a promise to him.
"Okay, everything depends on my wife's wishes."
He will stay in Licheng for a while. Although he is not afraid of trouble, he does find it troublesome. His wife is so beautiful that some scumbags with ill intentions will inevitably appear.
In order to prevent these scumbags from causing unnecessary trouble, he felt it was necessary to establish a small power, which would be considered bad luck for the Li family.
In the old residential area, the news that the commander of the Shang Dynasty had knelt down was so explosive that even though the city lord's palace ordered the news to be hurriedly blocked, it still spread throughout the streets and alleys of Licheng in a very short period of time.
At the beginning, many people snorted this information and were joking. That was the Commander of Shang Da! The real overlord of Licheng, a martial arts expert in the Seven-Star Fighting Soul Master Realm! Kneel down to a young man?
Please stop making trouble, okay?
However, as the news spread more and more fiercely, it became more and more suspicious.
"That is indeed an evil star."
He Xu shuddered, and the last little revenge in his heart completely disappeared. He only had deep awe for Luo Chen.
The Li family was in panic. Li Hong's death made the Li family angry, but more importantly, they were panic. There was a lot of news coming from the old residential area. They were worried that if it was true, they would be targeted by the merchants and make some decisions.
Finally, he still planned to alarm Mr. Li who was in seclusion.
Li Mao, the real custodian of the Li family in Licheng. Although the old man has not been seen for a long time due to the impact of seclusion in the past few years, the residual power he left behind is still awe-inspiring!
"How's it going? What's the news from father?"
Li Sheng rubbed his eyebrows. There were rumors that the Li family would be destroyed within three days, which made everyone in the Li family panic. As a new first-class family in Licheng, the Li family still had some background. If they were just a business, they really didn't.
Put it in your eyes.
The reason why they are afraid of surrendering and becoming a vassal family of merchants is entirely because they are afraid of the power of the city lord's palace.
After all, Licheng was once a royal city. There is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even though the city lord's palace is not as good as it used to be, it is still not comparable to that of a mere Li family.
The City Lord's Mansion controls half of Li City's military power, and has five thousand black-armored troops! With one order, it is enough to easily destroy the entire Li Mansion.
"The news has been spread, but just in case, we have to make two preparations."
Li Chang's tone was solemn. The City Lord's Mansion did have a lot of troops, but it was not as easy as imagined to destroy the Li family. What's more, the City Lord's Mansion was not the only one in Li City now.
"Be prepared with both hands? What does the second brother mean?" Li Sheng's heart moved and he asked tentatively.
"My father was obsessed with martial arts and had long been indifferent to the family. It was not easy for the Li family to get to where they are today, but we can't let him die like this.
Just in case, let's secretly get through to the younger generation and send them out of the city secretly, so that we can feel more at ease. Even if we end up falling out with the City Lord's Mansion, my Li family's incense will not be cut off.
Of course, this is the worst plan. It is said that the city lord's palace and the city guards have been secretly fighting for quite some time. If the Li family wants to develop, how can it be possible with only one backer?"
"What do you mean, second brother?"
"It's time for my Li family to secretly choose a new backer. The merchants are too ambitious to serve as the lord of the city. If Licheng is not still controlled by the guards, and the merchants want to help them develop with the help of my Li family, how can they tolerate me, Li
The family continues to grow and develop.
Even if the City Lord's Mansion doesn't take action against my Li family this time, there's no guarantee that it won't take action in the future."
Li Chang sighed.
Li Sheng hesitated a little and said worriedly: "This matter is of great importance and it should not be made too public."
"That's natural. You can send a few of your close associates to get some fresh air first."
There are many people in the Li family, and there is no guarantee that there will be informants from a few businessmen. Even if the Li family wants to find a new backer, they can only contact them secretly.
Li Chang also fully agrees with this point.
"Second brother, I just need to make a decision on this matter. The news from the City Lord's Mansion is not clear. I will pay a visit in person in the afternoon and find out what the attitude is there."
Li Sheng said that Li Chang's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he quickly said: "This is not appropriate, so let the housekeeper go. It's too dangerous."
"I have made up my mind. This matter is related to the life and death of my Li family. I cannot afford to be careless. I will never worry about letting my servants go."
Li Sheng shook his head, stepped forward and patted Li Chang on the shoulder and said: "When it comes to intelligence, I am not as good as you, and the third brother is no longer here. If I really go away and never come back this time, the Li family will fully rely on the second brother.
You, don't let me down."
"Brother!"
"No need to say any more! Go down and get ready."
Just when the Li family was in panic and everyone was in danger, there was quite a commotion in the Shang Mansion. In the lobby of the Shang Mansion, the leader of the Shang Dynasty smashed the teacups on the floor in anger. They were all made of fine purple sand teapots.
, the senior executives of the business did not dare to take a breath.
When Mr. Shang arrived, the purple clay pot on the table had been almost smashed.
"That's too much!"
The commander-in-chief of Shang Dynasty was so angry that he smashed another table.
"Have you finished venting?"
Mr. Shang came to the front seat and sat down. Looking at the purple clay pot fragments on the ground, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
"Father."
The leader of the Shang Dynasty spoke casually and shouted symbolically, and then he was immersed in rage. He had never suffered such humiliation since he took over the city lord's palace.
"What are you going to do? Do you really want to destroy the Li family?"
When Mr. Shang opened his mouth, people couldn't help but take a breath.
"How is that possible!"
The leader of Shang Da smiled solemnly, turned around and put on his golden armor. Now there are only rumors outside, and many people are still half-believed. If the Li family is really destroyed, wouldn't it prove that the rumors outside are true?
How to let him gain a foothold in Licheng?
"Have you found out the origin of the other party?" Mr. Shang asked.
"I don't care where he comes from. The water in Licheng is deep. What kind of tricks can a mere little kid really do? If he wants to drown, I will help him!"
The commander-in-chief of Shang Dynasty was very angry. He turned around and left Shang Mansion and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.
…
Luo Chen took Zhong Li's hand and returned to the Zhong Mansion together. The two did not hide it deliberately. Therefore, when the spies from the major families followed them all the way and saw the two people entering the Zhong Mansion, they were all shocked.
The Zhong Mansion is in ruins, but no one in Licheng, from the top aristocratic families to the common people, dares to look down upon them.
It is said that there is the shadow of the Liu family in Northern Xinjiang behind the Zhong Mansion. Although it is just a rumor, the shadow of the famous tree makes the declining Zhong Mansion still have a great intimidating power!
Now that Luo Chen has settled in the Zhong Mansion, all the major aristocratic families are even more suspicious and frightened, and they feel that this run-down Zhong family is somewhat mysterious.
At this time, under the grape pavilion in the courtyard of Zhongfu, Butler Wei was drinking the special tea provided by Luo Chen with a leisurely look, humming a tune, and was in a good mood when he saw Luo Chen come back.
The turbid old eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He quickly waved to Luo Chen, rubbed his hands and said sheepishly: "Xiao Luo, come here, sit down, look at you, where have you been these past few days?
Although Licheng is not as good as before, it is still a mixed bag, and I am worried about what kind of trouble you may have encountered outside in the past few days."
The housekeeper Wei had a pleasant face and called Xiao Luo the other kindly. Luo Chen's scalp felt a little tight and he smiled bitterly and said: "Grandpa Wei, if you have anything to say, just say it. You will hurt me if you do this."
"Ahem, this..."
"Are you going to ask me if I have any special tea?"
After being exposed by Luo Chen, Manager Wei couldn't help but blush, and said angrily: "That's nonsense, it's just nonsense! It's just a few tea leaves, am I such a vulgar person?"
"Oh, that's it. I still have half a catty here. I originally planned to keep it to honor you. Since you, Grandpa Wei, are not used to drinking it, forget it."
Luo Chen pretended to be pity, and immediately made the latter dumbfounded: "Really?"
"Grandpa Wei, you can treat it as fake." Luo Chen spread his hands and said with a smile.
"You brat, are you deliberately entertaining me? It should be more than half a catty, right?"
"Uh, cough...Grandpa Wei, I really don't understand what you are saying. What does it mean to weigh more than half a catty?"
"Stop talking nonsense, half a catty is half a catty, hurry up and bring it." Luo Chen, who was suffering from heart pain, took out half a catty of special tea, and Mr. Wei showed a kind smile.
"Yes, this is a good thing! By the way, let me tell you something serious. You brat can actually force a martial arts expert to kneel down. Old man, I am very curious, how did you do it?
"
It's no wonder that Butler Wei was surprised. When Luo Chen first came to Zhong Mansion more than a year ago, his cultivation level had just entered the three-star fighting soul master realm. In less than two years, his cultivation level had reached
It's really unbelievable that it has improved to such an extent.
"Ahem, it's just a rumor."
"Well, you have a good talent, but don't destroy your own potential by just pursuing the realm, let alone do stupid things to encourage others, let me tell you..."
Mr. Wei started nagging, Luo Chen smiled and could only nod. He naturally knew that these words were for his own good.
"By the way, what's your current level of cultivation?"
Luo Chen thought for a while and said, "I have just entered the five-star soul fighting master realm."
"Well, it's not bad. To improve your cultivation, you have to take one step at a time. You are still young, so don't aim too high."
Manager Wei nodded with satisfaction. As an elder, he was nagging attentively, which was very annoying, but Luo Chen did not show the slightest impatience.
Maybe it's because he has experienced a lot of human kindness, and caring like this is really heart-warming.
"By the way, Grandpa Wei, I heard from Sister Zhong Li that you were seriously injured and have never recovered. Is this true?"
After Butler Wei's nagging, Luo Chen suddenly asked.
"I did suffer some minor injuries, but they are no longer serious."
Butler Wei's tone changed slightly. Although he hid it very well, he couldn't hide it from Luo Chen's eyes. The secret was indeed like this.
Smiling slightly, he took out the jade box he had prepared in advance and placed it on the stone table. He pretended to be mysterious and said, "Maybe this thing can help you, Grandpa Wei, to eliminate your hidden illness." (To be continued)
