Evergreen Immortal.

"Hmm?"

Li Rui suddenly turned his head and looked at the crowd.

"Brother Li, what's wrong?"

Ning Zhongtian noticed Li Rui's abnormality and asked.

"Nothing."

Li Rui shook his head, thinking.

At this time, several acquaintances came from the crowd and interrupted his thoughts.

Dao Mo laughed and greeted him: "Brother Li, why didn't you tell me you were here? At least I should give you a 20% discount."

While talking, he pulled Li Rui into the Wuguo shop on the side.

This is an official merchant of Wuguo.

It is directly managed by the Wuguo embassy, ​​and the people of the Wuguo embassy now live here.

As soon as he entered the shop.

I saw Xia Xiaotang and several people from the Wuguo embassy, ​​and they all cast friendly eyes.

They all saw it.

If Li Rui hadn't been there for this escort, it would not only be as simple as losing the goods, but also losing their lives.

Although it cost double the money, it was simply perfect compared to the other two ports.

All this was because of Li Rui, and they all saw it.

A Wu country man laughed heartily:

"Brother Li will always be the most loyal friend of Wu country. When Brother Li goes to Wu country in the future, if anyone dares to speak loudly to my elder brother, I, Dao Meng, will be the first to chop him to death!"

"."

Li Rui blinked.

This always sounds weird.

And as an officer of Yu country, there is probably only one situation for him to go to Wu country - fleeing for fear of crime.

It is better not to go.

Dao Mo smiled and kicked Dao Meng: "Ivory cannot be spit out of a dog's mouth."

But as Dao Meng said, they have already regarded Li Rui as a friend.

In times of trouble, it is easiest to establish true feelings, even if they are in two countries, it is still unavoidable.

Ning Zhongtian looked at this scene.

Blinked.

In his heart, he secretly praised: "My elder brother is really capable."

The Wu people have always been famous for their unruly nature. Although they are not like the northern barbarians who are mortal enemies as soon as they meet, it is still rare for the Yu people to become friends with the Wu people.

But his good brother just did it.

What does this mean?

Good brothers have great abilities!

Ning Zhongtian suddenly felt that it was an extremely correct decision for him to become sworn brothers with Li Rui.

Li Rui laughed: "I am just doing my best."

Dao Mo said seriously: "One thing is one thing. Brother Li did it for official business, but he helped us a lot. We will always remember this favor."

Li Rui was no longer modest.

Because he really needs these people in the future.

He asked Ning Zhongtian to come to the Municipal Trade Department today.

One is to try his luck to see if he can find clues, and the other is to meet Dao Mo and others.

He avoided them before, but now he took the initiative to come to the door.

Why?

Of course, it is because the documents for Tiandi League's business have been approved.

Anyway, after that incident, the relationship has been established.

Avoiding blindly will lead to inferiority.

It is better to take this opportunity to become a helper.

The caravan of the Tiandi League wants to do business in Wu Country. Even if the upper echelons of the two countries try their best to promote it, they must have someone to protect them in the local area. The people of the Wu Country delegation are just suitable.

Li Rui brought Ning Zhongtian here to get to know each other in advance, and never mentioned the Tiandi League.

If he spoke today, Dao Mo would definitely agree, but the relationship between the two sides would definitely be broken. What could have become a long-term friendship ended up being a one-time deal.

Of course, he would not do such a stupid thing.

Dao Mo asked: "Brother Li, if you come to the market today, if you want to buy something, just give it to me directly."

He is now the general envoy of the Wu Country caravan.

Those shops must give this face.

What's more, he paid 50% of these goods, the caravan paid 30%, and the Municipal Trade Bureau paid 20%. He is the biggest owner.

Li Rui smiled and shook his head:

"No, I came here for the case."

Hearing the case, the Wu Kingdom envoys immediately became interested: "So soon there is a clue?"

Li Rui continued to shake his head:

"It's just a matter of luck. We ruined other people's good things. They are very likely to send people to the market to check, and maybe we can get something."

Dao Mo nodded in agreement:

"That makes sense."

But he didn't think Li Rui could catch the criminal on the spot.

This time, in addition to the Wu Kingdom caravan, there were thousands of people coming to the Shimaosi market. Those princes' men must have been disguised. Trying to find them from the crowd is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

And Li Rui couldn't use too many people and make too much noise.

Afterwards, Li Rui found a window seat on the second floor.

Here you can see the scene of the street below, an excellent observation position.

While observing, he chatted with the Wu Kingdom envoys.

Now.

Dao Mo finally had the opportunity to ask the question in his heart:

"Master Li, how did you sense the danger in advance?"

Li Rui smiled.

"Because I asked people to place traps in the mountains and forests along the official road in advance. I have good hearing. Once it is triggered, I can hear it three miles away."

Dao Mo suddenly understood.

No wonder Li Rui said that he had summoned two hundred soldiers, but at most he saw 140 to 50 people. It turned out that the others were sent out to set up traps.

Several people from Wuguo were surprised:

"You still have such a skill?"

Hearing the sound from three miles away, this method is extremely rare.

Li Rui looked modest and said not to be too ostentatious.

Hearing the sound from three miles away?

Of course he doesn't, he just found random inspiration from the previous pig-shaped Mr. Chai.

You can't say that he has a keen eye and can predict danger, right?

Everyone in the hall marveled at Li Rui's thoughtfulness and ability.

With such thoughts and means, why worry about things failing?

‘The State of Yu is really full of talents. ’

Dao Mo looked at Li Rui and secretly marveled in his heart.

There is a talent like Li Rui in a small Qinghe. Looking at the entire Yu State, the strong ones are really like the crucian carp crossing the river.

He felt sad.

The Wu Kingdom once had such a glorious moment, but unfortunately, several successive Wu Emperors died suddenly midway, causing the country's fortunes to decline, and now it is almost falling apart.

On the other hand, look at the state of Yu.

At the height of the sun!

Dao Mo couldn't help but feel even more envious. If Li Rui hadn't been an official of Yu State, he would have really wanted to recruit Li Rui to be an official in Wu State.

Li Rui sat there for half a day.

The members of the Wu Kingdom envoy each had their own affairs and went downstairs to do business. Soon, only Dao Mo and a Witch Kingdom girl were left on the second floor.

Dang Dao Mo also went downstairs.

Only Li Rui, Ning Zhongtian and the girl from the Witch Kingdom were left on the second floor.

Li Rui turned his head.

He looked at the girl from the Witch Kingdom who was sitting in the corner and had not spoken a word.

Although he didn't look back, he could feel that the young man from the Wu Kingdom named Tang Xiaoxia had been secretly sizing him up.

Their eyes happened to collide in mid-air.

Xia Xiaotang turned his head to the side, his cheeks turning slightly red.

Li Rui couldn't help but wonder.

Girl blushing?

Because of love?

But Li Rui never expected that he would actually feel fear from the girl from the Witch Kingdom in front of him.

'Why should she be afraid of me? ’

Li Rui was puzzled.

‘Am I scarier than her saber-toothed black tiger? ’

The atmosphere suddenly became weird.

A full time of incense has passed.

Xia Xiaotang huddled in the corner, muttering something in his mouth, as if to cheer himself up.

This scene made Ning Zhongtian intuitively funny.

"Brother Li, your style is indeed as good as before."

He only thought it was the adoration of girls.

finally.

Xia Xiaotang mustered up his courage, stood up, and walked forward:

"I want to be alone with Mr. Li for a while."

Ning Zhongtian looked like he understood, and walked downstairs with a smile. As he went downstairs, he said:

"You guys talk, you guys talk."

soon.

Only Li Rui and Xia Xiaotang were left on the second floor, and there was a long silence.

Xia Xiaotang didn't wait for him to speak.

Li Rui said first: "Ambassador Tang, is there something wrong?"

Xia Xiaotang was stunned.

Her beautiful big eyes blinked again and again, looking at Li Rui in disbelief, and blurted out:

"How do you know?"

But then she regretted that it was really the envoy's business to say so.

Li Rui smiled slightly:

"It's actually not that hard to guess."

Although Dao Mo and several other people were well hidden, after all, they had been together for two days and were in Li Rui's eyes. It can still be seen through every detail.

These people all vaguely respected the girl from the Witch Kingdom in front of them.

So guessing the identity becomes easy.

Xia Xiaotang sighed lightly, without any hesitation, and directly revealed his identity: "It is not deliberately concealing it. I am indeed the leader of this mission. In addition, my name is not Tang Xiaoxia, my name is actually Xia Xiaotang."

‘Xia Xiaotang. ’

"summer"

Li Rui said this word in a low voice, thinking and making vague guesses.

The surname Xia is not a simple one in the Wu Kingdom. It has the same meaning as the surname Zhu in the Yu Kingdom.

It's the imperial surname.

Although not all people with the surname Zhu in the world are from the royal family, they may also be cooks, but with the surname Xia and the leader of the Wu Kingdom's mission, it is hard not to make people think of him.

Xia Xiaotang gave the answer directly: "Yes, I am of royal blood, but my bloodline has long been lonely and not noble."

"I see."

Li Rui nodded.

Then it returned to the original question: "Is there something wrong with Ambassador Xia?"

Xia Xiaotang took a deep breath and his face became more serious than ever.

She spoke slowly:

"Master Li, please tell me what is your relationship with the Beast God?"

Beast god?

This time it was Li Ruimeng's turn.

What the hell?

He originally thought that Xia Xiaotang had secrets related to the top leaders of the Wu Kingdom that he wanted to discuss with him.

Unexpectedly, the words were shocking.

What kind of existence is the beast god?

Let's put it this way, the royal family of Wu Kingdom claims to be descendants of beast gods, and Wu Kingdom has at least tens of thousands of sculptures of beast gods.

"I?"

"Beast God?"

Li Rui was confused for a while.

Xia Xiaotang was extremely determined: "My companion beast is actually not a saber-toothed black tiger, but a beast with clear water and golden eyes. It can see things that ordinary people cannot. In you, I see the shadow of the beast god."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

The beast with clear water and golden eyes, just by listening to its name, you can tell that it has some kind of strange eyes.

Can see things that ordinary people cannot see.

But Li Rui knew it too well.

He has nothing to do with the beast god at all.

Not waiting for him to speak.

Xia Xiaotang seemed to have thought of something, his pupils suddenly widened, and then he fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, muttering something in his mouth.

"I understand."

"I understand."

The little face suddenly raised, and the big eyes were frighteningly bright.

"You are the reincarnation of the beast god!"
