Li Xiao's words at this time made him very confused.
"His Royal Highness condescends to come here, how can His Highness return empty-handed? Doesn't this make people secretly chew their tongues, saying that my younger brother can't be a man?" Li Xiao said slowly.
Hearing this, Li Chengqian stared at Li Xiao with doubts in his eyes for a long time, and then said: "Since it is Brother Xiao's intention, then I will not be disrespectful, but I will not take advantage of you."
Immediately, Li Chengqian ordered: "Come here, take out all the money!"
In the end, Li Chengqian collected as much as 13 taels of silver and took the Qinggang sword away.
Before leaving, Li Chengqian found that there was still nothing abnormal, Li Chengqian finally smiled: "Brother Xiao understands righteousness, I will write it down."
Although he failed to obtain the Wan Qi Hall, the main purpose of this trip was achieved, and he was still in a good mood.
What he couldn't understand the most was why did Li Xiao abandon the sword?
"Prince, go slowly!"
Li Xiao looked at the white silver, and the corners of his mouth couldn't even close his smile.
The Wanqi Hall has already belonged to him, so the money naturally belongs to him too.
……
An hour later, in a secret space in the underground palace of Wanqi Hall.
The hall masters gathered together, all looking at Li Xiao who was sitting on the throne.
"Guild Master, my subordinates have already sent people to wipe out Lin Chong's faction. I don't know what your Highness's order is at the moment when the net is being collected."
Wang Jifeng cupped his fists towards Li Xiao, with a respectful look on his face.
"Hey, I'm not your gang leader!"
Li Xiao hurriedly waved his hands: "I have a title, so I cannot participate in the disputes among civil factions. After you elect a new leader, you still need to publicize it to prove my innocence."
"Ah?" Wang Jifeng was stunned, "Your Highness is not the leader of the sect, so who has the qualification?"
"Love so and so!" Li Xiao looked indifferent, and suddenly looked at the person next to him, "I think he's not bad."
Everyone followed Li Xiao's gaze, but saw Zhang Quan's eyes widened, at a loss.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I really don't have this ability!"
While Zhang Quan was excited, there was a flash of clarity in his eyes, and he immediately knelt down on the ground: "Your Highness, let's choose someone else!"
Wang Jifeng rolled his eyes, and immediately knelt down towards Zhang Quan and shouted, "Wang Jifeng, the master of Caochun Hall, pay homage to the new leader!"
"Meet the new leader!"
The others looked at each other and nodded, then knelt down and shouted in unison.
The people present are all good people, how could they not understand what Li Xiao meant.
Zhang Quan is just a puppet.
In the end, it was Li Xiao who spoke.
Instead of choosing a capable and ambitious person, it would be better to choose a simple person like Zhang Quan.
Seeing his former boss kneeling in front of him, Zhang Quan felt very complicated.
All this is just because of a simple sentence from the adult beside him.
It was Li Xiao who gave him everything.
Finally, under Li Xiao's order, Zhang Quan took over the post of gang leader and swore to be loyal to Li Xiao forever.
Afterwards, Li Xiao didn't take any more, and left with only the 13 taels of silver that Li Chengqian gave.
After all, the entire Wanqi Hall needs money to run.
The next day.
Li Xiao, who stayed overnight at Lantian Restaurant, met Xue Rengui who came to report.
"Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry?"
Xue Rengui stood in front of Li Xiao unsmilingly.
"Five days later, I want you to win the martial arts championship." Li Xiao looked at Xue Rengui and said slowly.
"Martial arts?"
Xue Rengui's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, there are many capable people in the world, and I can only say that I will do my best!"
"It's a good thing to be in awe, but if a person loses that drive, what's the difference between him and a farmer in the mountains? It's better to go home and farm!" Li Xiao said angrily.
Hearing this, Xue Rengui's expression paused, and he said in a deep voice: "This subordinate is willing to lead the order. If you can't get the leader, you will come to see him!"
"You really look like a young man!" Li Xiao's mouth curled up, "But don't worry, I will give you special training before I go."
"Special training?" Xue Rengui looked puzzled, "What special training?"
"follow me!"
Li Xiao turned around and walked towards the backyard.
At the same time, he found the system to extract the god-level marksmanship that was rewarded earlier.
Suddenly, in his mind, a huge burst of information suddenly burst.
One picture after another, every move and every move, flashed in front of his eyes very quickly.
Until we came to the backyard.
Li Xiaoyan slowly picked up a spear, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.
He felt that the weapon in his hand was so familiar and intimate, like an extension of his own arm.
It seems that as long as he wants, he can immediately display thousands of moves.
Every move seems to be engraved in his heart.
"Alright!"
Suddenly, Li Xiao's expression froze.
Without any warning, he disappeared in place.
The ear-piercing sound barrier sounded suddenly.
When he appeared, he was already a few feet away, maintaining a posture of slightly bowing his body and stabbing straight with his gun.
The next moment, a big tree in the courtyard suddenly exploded from the middle, splashing debris, and then collapsed.
"So fast!"
Beside, Xue Rengui, Li Junxian and others looked dumbfounded.
"How did you do this, Your Highness?"
Zhao Yuntian looked solemn: "I didn't even see His Highness's movements clearly. One moment I was standing casually, and the next moment I had already completed this move. If it was me, I would have no time to make any defenses."
At this moment.
He just understood.
I still underestimated His Highness before.
With the strength of His Highness's move just now, he is absolutely unable to resist.
"Your Highness, do you want your subordinates to learn this trick?"
Xue Rengui suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
"This trick is called Thunder."
"The implication is to thrust out the spear at the limit speed, and increase the penetrating power by rotating the spear body on the way out of the spear head."
"The focus of this trick is on speed, and the skill of turning force. What we are after is the ultimate lethality. Take your time to figure it out!"
Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Li Xiao sighed.
As everyone knows, this move is just one of the thousands of moves he has comprehended in god-level marksmanship.
"Your Highness, I want to learn too!"
Zhao Yuntian said excitedly.
"Learn! I didn't stop you, your marksmanship is also good with swordsmanship, maybe you can comprehend different moves." Li Xiao encouraged.
"Li Xiao!"
Suddenly, a miserable cry came.
Several people turned their heads to look, but saw Cheng Chumo running over with a distressed face.
"My tree!"
"It took a long time to transplant it!"
"It's up to you!"
Chapter 185: Am I such a stingy person?
"Okay, okay, it's mine." Li Xiao said with a speechless face.
Cheng Chumo suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, this month's time is coming soon, and the monthly money you promised me will not be less at that time!"
"What monthly money?"
Li Xiao looked puzzled.
"you!"
Cheng Chumo said angrily: "Before you owed me 4000 taels of silver, and later I helped you open shops in other towns, and you promised to give me another 300 taels of silver."
"Also, the monthly money I can receive every month is 1000 taels."
"As long as the total amount reaches 5000 taels, you can pay me the bill."
"Counting the days, it's only been a few days. I knew you couldn't remember clearly, so I came here to remind you."
"Oh." Li Xiao responded perfunctorily, "Did time pass so fast?"
"Hmph! There are still a few days left, you have to give me five thousand three hundred taels of silver!" Cheng Chumo said with a cold face.
"Here, am I such a stingy person?"
After Li Xiao finished speaking, his eyes suddenly rolled, and he continued: "Well, I see that you have worked very hard for me, how about I give you a monthly salary increase?"
"Is there such a good thing? How much?" Cheng Chumo asked with surprise.
"Um……"
Li Xiao pretended to be contemplative, and then said after a while: "From next month, I will give you an increase to 2000 for two months, but there is a small condition, how about it?"
"2000 taels?!" Cheng Chumo was overjoyed, "Don't mention one condition, I will agree to ten!"
"The condition is actually simple, that is, the previous rule of 5000 taels for full payment is canceled and changed to 7000 taels!"
Li Xiao said with a smile: "As long as I owe you 7000 taels, you can settle it all at once."
"What?" Cheng Chumo frowned, "Then I still can't get the money?"
"This is the price for the monthly price increase!" Li Xiao tempted, "Do you choose to leave with 5000 taels after a few days, or 7000 taels a month later?"
"you!"
Cheng Chumo was angry in his heart.
He really wanted to take the money and leave.
But when I thought that I could earn 7000 taels for an extra month of work, I felt a little bit reluctant.
Seeing Cheng Chumo's appearance, Li Xiao's mouth twitched: "Think about it, where will I give you 2000 taels a month?"
"All right……"
Cheng Chumo took a deep breath.
In the end, the greed in my heart took over.
"That's how it is, come to me for money in a month." Li Xiao said with a smile.
"You won't do this again next time, will you?"
