"Is Your Majesty doubting Li Yi's loyalty? Although I don't have much communication with him, I don't think this son is an ambitious person, so there shouldn't be any major problems. ”

"Hehe, I'm not as good as you in the army. But when it comes to employing people, you may not be as good as me. The most terrifying thing about Li Yi is that he has no ambition, and I can't see a trace of infatuation with power in his eyes. ”

"Isn't it better to be this way, if you don't have ambition, you won't make trouble." General Luo Ning said suspiciously.

"General, this is a big mistake. I'd rather he had ambition and pursuit. If he loves money, I will give it to him. If he loves power, We will give him high office. Only if he wants it, I can give it, and if I give it to him, he can die for our empire. But when I look at this person, he seems to have no desires, and his young age gives me an unfathomable feeling. This person can't be reused. ”

"Why, Your Majesty, Li Yi is a rare talent. Is it just because he has no intention of money and power that you give up such a person with unlimited potential? ”

"All unstable factors must be eradicated, and it is precisely because he has unlimited potential, but I have no way to contain him, that I do not want to reuse this person. This kind of person who is dedicated to cultivation has the most eccentric personality, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be some things in the empire that will make him unhappy in the future. If he turns out of our country because of this, it will not be a disaster. ”

"But Your Majesty ......" General Luo Ning obviously couldn't accept this kind of thinking of King Tianlan, and wanted to defend Li Yi.

"Don't say more, general, I'm just taking precautions. If I find out that this person can really be reused in the future, I will not let this kind of talent be lost. Now, let him be a regiment commander in peace. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Knowing that he could no longer convince the king, General Ronin gave up persuasion.

"The general's military affairs are heavy, so I won't keep you any longer, and General Lao will have to worry more about Wu Anguo's affairs."

"This is the duty of the old minister, and the old minister will do his best. Since His Majesty has nothing else to do, the old minister will retire first. With that, General Ronin turned and left. As he left, his brows furrowed, as if he was still a little puzzled by what the king had just said.

After General Luo Ning withdrew from the study, King Tianlan turned his head to Prince Kevin and said, "Emperor, do you think your father's idea is right or wrong. ”

Prince Kevin had been listening to the conversation between the king and General Ronin just now, so when the king asked, Prince Kevin naturally asked about what his father asked.

The father's opinion of Li Yi, the son-in-law is also a little puzzled. In my several interactions with Li Yi, I found that although Li Yi is a person who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, if he can really fellowship with him, he should be able to get his loyalty. ”

"The emperor is still not good at looking at people, what do you think Li Yi cares about the most."

"Strength, Li Yi is a typical cultivation madman, he cares most about the improvement of strength."

"That's right, most cultivators are bent on becoming strong, so they often don't care about worldly things. It would be nice if you could make friends with this person, but why should you make friends with him? ”

"Is it necessary for friends to fellowship with each other?" Prince Kevin was still quite unconvinced.

"There are no permanent friends in this world, and you will know when you go through something more. Okay, it's not too early, you can go and rest. The king said lightly, and gave Prince Kevin an expulsion order.

"Yes, father, the minister has retired."

Sitting alone in the empty study, King Tianlan looked at the night sky outside the window, silent for a long time.

After being stunned for a while, the king slowly spoke: "Send someone to keep an eye on Li Yi." The house was empty by this time, but the king spoke in a commanding tone.

But strangely, a cold voice unexpectedly sounded in the room—yes, Your Majesty.

It has been two days since he was met in the study of King Tianlan, and under the treatment of Tianlan Traditional Chinese Medicine, the knife wounds on Li Yi's body are healing at a terrifying speed. In just two days, Li Yi has already been able to fight with others, of course, it is not suitable for fierce battles.

"Li Yi, tomorrow the envoys of Wu Anguo will return to China, and the general's order is that we must ensure their safety throughout the whole process, but is your current health okay?" Alice asked, slightly worried.

"No problem, the injuries on my body are almost healed, don't worry." Li Yi said lazily, at this time he was leisurely basking in the sun on the roof with Alice.

"That's good. Besides, this road is all the territory of our Tianlan Empire, and there will be no danger. Alice said to herself again.

"Alas, I have just come to the imperial capital for a few days, and then I am going to leave again. Alice, don't you blame me for running around? Suddenly, Li Yi turned his head and looked at Alice seriously and said.

"No, it won't, how could it be. That's good, after all, I'm an adjutant now, hehe. In the face of Li Yi's serious expression, Alice's words were a little unsmooth, and she lost her former spirituality.

"I hope there will be no big danger in sending troops to Wu'anguo this time, if there is really any crisis, you don't have to worry about me, just escape first." Li Yi continued to say seriously.

"No, if I were in danger, how could I live alone. You will not be allowed to do anything, and we will run away together. What army, what minerals, it's all bullshit, and the most important thing is that we can survive. However, Li Yi, why did you suddenly say such a thing. ”

"It's nothing, just make some arrangements in advance, so as not to be in a hurry." Li Yi said perfunctorily, and then jumped off the roof.

But when he got out of the room, Li Yi said to himself: "What a strange premonition." ”

Alice obviously didn't take this matter to heart, and just thought it was Li Yi taking precautions. Jumping off the roof cleanly, he rushed into the house and shouted: "Li Yi thief, look at the move!" But in the blink of an eye, Alice's voice came from inside the room—oops.

"Stupid, you can't change your move, I can dismantle your move with my eyes closed." Li Yi looked at Alice and said with a smile.

Alice covered her forehead aggrievedly, and said in a coquettish voice: "Then you can't stop hitting me on the head every time, it's about to break you." ”

"Hehe, hand mistake, hand mistake. It's really that every time you rush over, that little unguarded forehead is so attractive that I can't hold back every time and make a move. Li Yi said embarrassedly, but there was a wicked smile on his face.

"Brother Li is there?"

Just when Li Yi was joking with Alice, a young man's voice suddenly came from the bed outside the house.

"Listen to the voice, it should be Kevin." Li Yi said with a smile, and then turned around and walked outside the house.

"Hehe, it turned out that Brother Kevin was here, Li Yi missed the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins." Facing Prince Kevin, Li Yi said politely.

"Brother Li still likes to joke so much, I told you a long time ago, you and I don't need to pay attention to these polite things." Prince Kevin was also smiling all over his face, showing full kindness to Li Yi.

Li Yigan laughed and asked out loud, "I don't know what Brother Kevin is doing when he comes to me." ”

"Hey, guess." Kevin didn't have a trace of the prince's demeanor at this time, but like a naughty boy, he blinked his eyes and said to Li Yi mischievously.

"Borrow money from me? No problem, His Majesty just rewarded me with 100,000 gold coins yesterday. If you can't turn around, I'll borrow from you, and I'll have it. As soon as Li Yi saw Prince Kevin's "cheap" expression, he thought that the other party had something unspeakable, so he said "kindly".

"Where do you want to go, have you heard that the prince of any country will be short of money to spend, I have a serious business looking for you." Prince Kevin is colorful.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Seeing that the other party had a serious attitude, Li Yi didn't say much anymore, just waited for Kevin to speak.

"Tomorrow, the Wu'an delegation will return to China, and our Tianlan Empire is going to send an official to follow the mission, which can be regarded as a return visit from our country."

"Well, what does this matter have to do with you and me?"

"That official is me."

"You?" Li Yi was a little puzzled. "Could it be that the prince can be regarded as an official now?"

"I just like your sense of humor, how can the prince be an official. I already have an official status, and I will travel with you as an Inspector, mainly to survey the specific situation of the veins. ”

"Your Majesty agreed? You must know that Wu Anguo has already left the territory of Tianlan Kingdom, and if something happens, it is likely that there will be no return. ”

"Well, this is what my father personally promised. He also agreed that I should go out and have more knowledge. ”

"Now that Your Majesty has agreed, I don't have much to say. Brother Kevin rest assured, if there is really any danger, Li Yi will definitely do his best to protect His Highness. ”

"Hehe, I'm much more relieved to have your words. I still have something to do, so I'll go first, and we'll see you tomorrow on campus. ”

"Okay, I'll send you."

After sending Prince Kevin away, Li Yi said with a smile: "Hehe, are you afraid that I will fill my own pockets and send the second prince to spy on me?" But Li Yi didn't think much about it, turned around and entered the house.

When Li Yi and Alice arrived at the school yard the next day, 10,000 cavalry were ready to go. Li Yi first held a simple mobilization meeting, and then the team marched to the Tianlan City Gate in one by one, waiting for the arrival of the envoy of Wu Anguo.

When Margaret saw Li Yi in military uniform, she was obviously stunned, and then said coldly: "It seems that this time General Li led the team and escorted our mission back to China." ”

"Exactly, what's wrong?" Li Yi'an sat on the horse and responded coldly. Now that he has formed a bond with the envoys of Wu Anguo, he is not ready to talk to each other.

"There's nothing wrong with it, the concubine is just asking casually. So the troops stationed in the Magic Crystal Mine are also General Li's troops? ”

"Yes, don't worry, I'll keep you safe." After saying that, Li Yi rode back to his troops.

After Prince Kevin also joined the troops, the two exchanged a few words, and Li Yi waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go." ”

The army of more than 10,000 people marched towards Wu'anguo.

Because it was all cavalry troops, and the speed of the mission's carriage was not slow, it only took Li Yi and his party half a month to rush to the territory of Wu'anguo.

"Mrs. Lohr (Margaret's surname Lohr), she has arrived in the territory of Wu'an Kingdom, but it is your territory, can you tell us about the customs and customs of your country." Prince Kevin rode his horse and said to Margaret on the side with a smile.

Margaret smiled when she heard this, and began to introduce Wu Anguo to Prince Kevin.

Along the way, everyone hurriedly marched, and everyone did not have a good rest. Now that the destination is almost there, the speed of the troops has slowed down.

There would be laughter and laughter in the ranks from time to time, and even Li Yi would occasionally joke with Alice, instead of just marching blindly as a few days ago.

Wu'an Kingdom is not large, only the area of a province of the Tianlan Empire. The troops marched slowly, and it only took one day to reach the capital of Wu'an from the border.

Li Yi hated socializing, so he didn't follow Prince Kevin to meet the king of Wu'anguo, but asked the troops to be stationed outside the city and wait for Prince Kevin.

Everything went well, and it only took half a day for Prince Kevin to come out of the city. Having named the location of the Magic Crystal Mine, the troops headed for the vein.

This magic crystal mine is basically in the center of Wu'an Kingdom, and it is not far from the national capital. When Li Yi led the team to feel it, he didn't see anyone mining, and Li Yi couldn't help but ask Prince Kevin: "Didn't you discover the magic crystal mine before, why didn't anyone mine it?" ”

"Hehe, Wu Anguo does not have the right to exploit privately, and they must wait until the empire sends someone to come before they can arrange for someone to do it." Prince Kevin said with a smile, a slight look of pride revealed between the lines.

"Don't we need to send additional people to mine in Tianlan Kingdom, do we just need to wait for them to mine the magic crystal, and directly pay the tribute to the seventy percent?"

"Yes, if there is no tribute, what awaits them is only the army's Jinge Iron Horse."

After listening to Prince Kevin's words, Li Yi was speechless for a while. It seems that countries should also pay attention to strength, and the law of the jungle is always the right iron rule.

Li Yi no longer talked to Prince Kevin, but turned his horse's head back to the army and began to send a mission to the team, after all, his duty to come this time was to protect this precious anomalous vein.

"Li Yi, the magic crystal is indeed a good thing, I must steal a few pieces after mining." Alice said playfully beside Li Yi.

When Li Yi heard this, he habitually raised his right hand. As soon as she saw Li Yi's gesture, Alice hurriedly protected her forehead and said aggrievedly: "Okay, okay, I won't steal it." It's really boring, I didn't expect you to be a clean official. ”

Li Yi just smiled slightly, and said lightly: "If you like it, I'll buy you a few yuan." ”

Alice nodded obediently and said no more.

The two rode around the Magic Crystal Mine, which was still quiet, and by tomorrow there might be a large number of coolies coming in to mine.

Just when the two were talking and laughing on the horse, they suddenly heard an angry roar in the distance: "Who is Li Yi, you get out of Laozi." ”

Hearing the roar, Li Yi couldn't help but be stunned, and seeing Alice's puzzled eyes, Li Yi also shook his head in confusion. However, since the other party wanted to see him by name, Li Yi was not ready to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

After a slight adjustment, he slowly lucked his luck in his mouth, secretly used the "blood roar" exercise, and said loudly: "Li Yi is here, who is making noise here." ”

Not long after, a figure rushed towards Li Yi's side at an extremely fast speed.

After standing still, Li Yi had the opportunity to take a good look at this inexplicable visitor.

I saw an old man dressed in sloppy clothes, his dirty hair was casually draped over his shoulders, although his face was ugly, but there was a glint in his eyes.

The old man stared at Li Yi and asked viciously, "You are Li Yi?" ”
