Chapter 824: Gold Cup and Silver Cup
Chapter 829
The shock of everyone was in Li Xingya's expectation.
After all, this is a pirate den, and each of them is a murderous character. Although the eighteen island owners are now mixed into decent people, they are still robbers in their bones.
This is the reason why Li Xingya took Chu Yunsheng's name, if his identity is revealed, he can't say that these pirates will tie himself up as a hostage and ask for property from Luofeng City.
But at this moment, Li Xingya also has his considerations.
Eighteen island owners sat on either side of the hall and, after the initial shock, began to whisper. From time to time, a gaze swept over Li Xingzai.
As Li Xingya had guessed in advance, they looked at themselves like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Honglin Island advocated the opening of the river and said: "Although Luofeng City and Qipan Island are close neighbors, the two families have never interacted with each other before, and each other's well water does not interfere with the river water. Today, the King of Joy is here, I don't know what it is?"
Li Xingzai didn't speak, and a voice came from behind the screen: "King Xiaoyao has come here this time to discuss with you a big matter. ”
Because it was the Lady of the East China Sea who spoke, the eighteen island owners were silent. More or less, everyone has to give Mrs. Donghai some face, after all, no one knows that this woman is not easy to mess with.
The voice behind the screen continued: "Now that the empire is embattled, there is an invasion of the Rong tribe in the north, and the war in the south of the Yangtze River will burn. The chaos in the world is imminent, and in this troubled time, the heroes of the empire should fight together. King Xiaoyao is the sixth son of Emperor Ming, and he has the heart to sweep the world and help Sheji. This time I came to Qipan Island in person, and I also invited all the island owners to participate in the big event. ”
Everyone pondered these words, and some people's expressions flickered, and they were already a little tempted.
Qipan Island is not big, but it is not small either, but in any case, the current power of Qipan Island has no possibility of further expansion. And people's ambition can never be satisfied, the stronger the strength, the greater the ambition. If Qipan Island wants to expand its power again, it can only develop on land.
If such an elite army rests on land, anyone who encounters it needs to be weighed.
The hearts of the people are not enough to swallow the elephant, and there are already many people on the chessboard island who are ready to move and want to try their luck on land.
At this time, a voice sounded: "But I heard one thing, Luofeng City, the territory of King Xiaoyao, has been surrounded by Jiangnan soldiers, and the city is just around the corner." Now that the King of Escape is here, why should our brothers go and die for you?"
Li Xingya's gaze fell on the person who spoke, according to Wang Sun Lishan's description, he knew that this person was the owner of Baiyu Island, whose name was Mu Changchun, and it was Mu Baishi's father.
Wang Sun Lishan has already said that Mu Changchun is the person who has the best chance of becoming the king of the East China Sea. He is also the most likely person to oppose today's proposal.
As Wang Sun Lishan expected, Mu Changchun's words really aroused everyone's suspicions, and everyone else stared at Li Xingya with malicious intentions.
It's okay to let these fierce and ruthless people fight for the world, but if he is allowed to buy and sell his life for others, everyone has to ponder.
Li Xingzai suddenly laughed, everyone was a little confused, could it be that this person was crazy, and his brain began to be unclear.
The laughter suddenly stopped, and Li Xingzai spoke: "I heard that Qipan Island is full of heroes, and when I see it today, I know that it is better to be famous than to meet, it turns out to be just a group of brave and unscrupulous horsemen." ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone was furious, only Mu Changchun sat with his knees crossed, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Phew. Li Xingzai suddenly snorted softly and suppressed everyone's discussions: "I have a word, please listen to it." What the Lord of Mudao said is true, Luofeng City is indeed surrounded by Jiangnan soldiers at present, and I am here specifically to borrow troops this time. But if I don't need you, why am I here?"
The discussion was a little quieter, and Li Xingzai was frank, but this was not unreasonable.
"I know that Li Xing has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and is rich in the world. Luofeng City and Jiangnan are enemies, so you can't do it a little too much, right?" Mu Changchun said leisurely.
Li Xingzai's face did not change, and said: "It is true that there are many soldiers in Yangzhou, but the combat effectiveness of the Jiangnan soldiers is the weakest in the empire, and I think you have all heard of it." The 100,000 army surrounded me and fell into Fengcheng, and the stalemate was not broken for more than a month, which is enough to prove this. If I have a surprise army and raid its grain and grass, the Jiangnan soldiers will naturally be defeated. Li Xing has the courage and no strategy, I will take it sooner or later. In the future, he will go south and north, and take the world like a bag to get things. The king and the prime minister are indispensable. ”
Mu Changchun sneered: "It's just talking, talking about the world, even worthless scholars can, how can I believe you." ”
"Alright. The voice behind the screen suddenly interrupted Mu Changchun's words, and the voice said slowly: "King Xiaoyao is a guest I invited, and his presence here shows his sincerity." Although the Jiangnan soldiers are strong, they may not be invincible, and the King of Freedom is now the time to employ people. We have always sought wealth and danger, and we are still afraid of risks when we live at sea. ”
Mrs. Donghai's words touched the hearts of many people, and Li Xingzai certainly asked everyone, but the reward was rich enough. Worshipping the king and becoming a prince is always compared to the lonely ghosts and ghosts on this island.
"Madame is going to go her own way and let our brother go to the death of an outsider?" Mu Changchun said coldly.
"Why did the Lord of the Wood Island say this?" the voice behind the screen said: "Eighteen islands on Qipan Island, when will I be counted alone? Come on, serve wine. ”
A maid came in from outside, and one by one laid down two glasses of wine, one gold and one silver, at the table of each owner, and the cups were filled with syrup.
The voice behind the screen said: "This is a big thing, and it's not for me as a woman to call the shots." Now you all have two glasses of wine in front of you, if you want to do great things, drink the golden cup, and if you don't want to do it, you can drink the silver cup, and I will not force any brother. ”
Everyone looks at each other, and although each has a calculation in his heart, it also depends on how the others choose.
Mu Changchun snorted coldly and drank all the wine in the silver cup. Some of the people who were close to him also raised their silver cups in turn and drank them all.
Zhang He looked at the wine cup in front of him, laughed, picked up the golden cup and drank it all.
"Damn, people die and birds face the sky, and they don't die for thousands of years, Lao Tzu did this. ”
Li Xingya looked carefully, only seven people drank the gold cup, and the others all chose the silver cup.
Although it is said that wealth is in danger, there is already wealth and wealth, so why take the risk.
Mu Changchun stood up and said, "You have to do big things, I won't stop you, but you also have to weigh the six and a half catties on your head, how big a bowl of rice can you eat?"
With that, he got up and left his table and walked out of the main hall.
"Slow. Li Xingzai said suddenly.
Mu Changchun turned his head and said, "Why do you want to stop me, why do you stop me?"
