Cheng Chumo thought of something and looked at Li Xiao suspiciously.
"Let's talk about next time." Li Xiao said perfunctorily.
"By the way, you will have to work hard in the next period of time. There is a Baibi gang in Beijing, and I have subdued it now. Find a time to talk to them about buying raw materials. I am short of materials now. , faster."
"How can there be people like you in the world?"
Cheng Chumo said with a look of lovelessness.
at this time.
to noon.
It's time to eat.
Cheng Chumo suggested: "By the way, last time you weren't here, I decided to buy the Yunyan Restaurant opposite, and hired a few chefs. Do you want to try the craftsmanship?"
"Yunyan Restaurant?" Li Xiao looked surprised, "Would Tiansheng Commercial Company sell it to you?"
If he remembers correctly, this is the property of the eldest grandson's family.
Given the current situation where the two sides are incompatible, the Changsun family has no reason to do so.
Cheng Chumo said slowly: "Last time, I don't know which righteous man set fire to his restaurant, leaving only the wreckage. They probably were afraid that they would be burned when they built it again, so they sold it."
"Cough cough..."
Zhao Yuntian on the side immediately coughed in embarrassment.
The commander of the Forbidden Army in the dignified palace actually ran to burn down other people's shops.
If this gets out, the face will be gone.
Li Xiao just remembered, it seems that this order was given by him.
"Then go and see how the restaurant you built is doing!"
A group of people went out, and within a few steps, they arrived at the newly built branch of Lantian Restaurant opposite.
I don't know if it is because of the plaque of Lantian Restaurant, or because of the new construction, it is very popular at this time.
The entire lobby on the first floor was overcrowded and very noisy.
"Relax, it's all my own territory."
Cheng Chumo said proudly.
Not long after, several people came to the private room on the second floor.
During the free time after ordering, Li Xiao looked out the window, thinking about what happened in recent days.
At this moment, the sound of conversation from the lobby on the first floor aroused Li Xiao's idea.
"Hey, have you heard? The martial arts genius of the Wang family is about to come out, and he wants to participate in this martial arts conference!"
"Which royal family?"
"Of course it's the famous Wang family in Jinyang!"
"Ah! You mean that martial arts genius is Wang Jie?"
"Yes, I heard that Wang Jie is only twenty years old, and his martial arts skills are already superior to those of the younger generation. No one can catch his three moves. He even defeated many family elders. A once-in-a-lifetime genius."
"Why would he participate in martial arts? Didn't he always look down on those martial arts champions?"
"You don't know. I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally came to the door and sent an ancient magic weapon. Even Wang Jie couldn't bear the temptation of the sword!"
"What? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually came to the door in person? What a shame for Wang Jie!"
"That's not true, who calls people young! The future is limitless."
"Then what suspense is there in this martial arts competition? Wang Jie himself is ridiculously strong, and with the magic weapon in hand, who can compete with him?"
"Although everyone knows the result, there are still many young and energetic children from aristocratic families who want to become famous by defeating Wang Jie."
"It's something to watch!"
"Do you have any money? I have connections, and many underground forces have opened their markets. Why don't you hurry up and buy a few bets? Just bet on Wang Jie to win. This money is just for nothing."
"Really? I'll go home and get the silver!"
……
Room on the second floor.
A look of surprise flashed in Li Xiao's eyes.
Only then did he understand why Li Chengqian wasted so much time.
"A boy from the Wang family, is it necessary for the crown prince to go to such lengths?"
Cheng Chumo curled his lips with a look of disdain.
"You do not understand."
Li Xiao shook his head and continued: "This Wang family is not easy. If you win over Wang Jie, it's like tying the Wang family to your own warship. My good brother is very shrewd in his calculations."
Li Xiao also remembered.
This Wang family, like Cui Renshu's Cui family, is a family of five surnames and seven Wangs.
Li Xiao's understanding of the five surnames and seven wangs is only one sentence.
Hundreds or even thousands of years of super big family.
The ancestors of the family were already famous in the previous dynasties.
With such great energy and resources, its power will only become bigger and bigger.
"In this way, isn't your subordinate named Xue Rengui hopeless?" Cheng Chumo shook his head.
"You haven't fought before, how do you know that Xue Rengui is not your opponent?" Li Xiao asked in surprise.
"Is there any need to think about it?" Cheng Chumo rolled his eyes, "Didn't you hear that? They have the ancient magic soldiers sent by His Royal Highness, and they will lose half before they fight."
After a pause, he continued: "You are also a very stingy master, and you don't buy sharp weapons to help him. You only teach marksmanship, and you can use it for a while!"
Chapter 186: The Genius Wang Jie
"I know a little bit about Wang Jie, he is indeed a rare genius." Li Junxian said the same.
"Even Uncle Li said that? Is this kid really so powerful?"
Li Xiao was surprised.
He had never seen this Wang Jie, and he hadn't even heard of it, so he didn't have a specific impression.
"Three years ago, a martial arts champion came to challenge Wang Jie. With only three moves, the champion lost with hatred."
Speaking of this, Li Junxian's expression became solemn: "It is also because of this that the world will comment that the younger generation has no one to take three tricks from him."
"If Uncle Li faced this Wang Jie, how would the outcome be?" Li Xiao asked curiously.
Hearing this, Li Junxian thought for a while and said: "Within ten moves, I can suppress him. Within a hundred moves, I will be evenly divided. After three hundred moves, I may be defeated."
"Uncle Li underestimated himself too much!"
Li Xiao was shocked by Li Junxian's words.
This is the person who served as a leader beside Li Er, but he actually said that he couldn't beat a young junior?
This is outrageous too!
In this world, would there be such a strong young man?
"No way, time makes people old."
Li Junxian continued: "Of course, this is just talk on paper. If there is a life-and-death confrontation, I will naturally not give him a chance after ten strokes."
Hearing this, Li Xiao also had a rough judgment on Wang Jie in his heart.
This person is very strong in martial arts, second only to Li Junxian's level of master.
But Wang Jie's advantage is that he is young and energetic.
That's why Li Junxian said that after a few hundred moves, he is no match, because he is indeed old.
"That's over!"
Cheng Chumo looked dejected.
"I heard from my father that on the battlefield, as long as Li Junxian is around, there is no need to worry about His Majesty's safety."
"But now even Commander Li is not sure of victory. Your newly recruited soldier may really come to see you."
"That's not necessarily true." Li Xiao said thoughtfully.
"Hehe, don't give up yet? They have magical weapons, what does Xue Rengui have?" Cheng Chumo sneered, "Why does he win? With the marksmanship you taught him?"
"Spiritual soldier? Hehe..." Li Xiao had a mysterious smile on his face, "If he is considered a divine soldier, then my magical soldier will be a rotten street here."
"Your Highness, the Qinggang Sword is indeed unique. Although Xue Rengui has a peerless sword from His Highness, it is unknown which one is stronger!" Li Junxian said thoughtfully.
"what?!"
Cheng Chumo was startled at first, and then he couldn't help but said, "A peerless sword? Haha..."
"Itchy skin?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Li Xiao's face, staring at Cheng Chumo.
This name is indeed in the second grade.
I didn't think about it that much at the time, I just pretended to be aggressive.
"Haha! His Royal Highness Yue Wang, can you give me this peerless sword so that I can go to my father and make a fuss about it, I'm so envious of him!" Cheng Chumo said while suppressing a smile.
"For you, 1 taels of silver, let's save money slowly!" Li Xiao said casually.
Several people talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.
But in the backyard of Lantian Restaurant, Xue Rengui was practicing Li Xiao's thunderous shot hard.
He frowned, and there was no gain for a long time.
No matter how he imitated it, his speed and power were not as great as Li Xiao.
"What exactly went wrong?"
He was puzzled.
Even a body of His Highness's size can perform it.
Why can't he?
time flies.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Today is the day of martial arts.
In the yard, Xue Rengui was still holding his spear, motionless.
At this moment, Li Xiao came over and said, "I've signed up for you. You can enter at [-]:[-] p.m. The competition venue is at the front gate of the Ministry of Officials."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Xue Rengui turned his head and cupped his fists at Li Xiao.
"Is there any progress in that move of Xunlei?" Li Xiao asked.
Xue Rengui shook his head: "The aptitude of this subordinate is dull. So far, he has only scratched the surface, and has never been able to penetrate the real core essentials."
"You perform it once, and I'll take a look." Li Xiao said lightly.
"Yes!"
Xue Rengui responded.
Immediately, he raised his spear and took a stance.
With a sound of "whoosh", Xue Rengui left a string of afterimages in place, and he had already sprinted into the distance.
"It's too slow!" Li Xiao said in a deep voice, "You try to give up defense completely and attack with all your might."
"Give up defense..."
