After I lost my job, I started to get rich from plane trading.

After the eunuch who announced the decree returned to the palace, as he expected, he met up with Li Shouyuan's men at midnight on the second night.

Through the intermediate connection, he had a brief conversation with Li Shouyuan.

After all, he and Li Shouyuan were on the same boat. With Li Shouyuan gone, his backer would be gone. Even if he went to Emperor Xichu to surrender now, he would only die once Li Shouyuan left.

Therefore, he needed to use some of the resources at hand to find a way out for himself. This conversation was dispensable for Li Shouyuan, but it was crucial to him.

I don’t know the content of the conversation. I only know that after the conversation, there was suddenly a missing eunuch in the palace, and there was a disfigured lame old eunuch in a corner.

After that, everything seemed to hit the accelerator button.

Li Shouyuan was ordered to lead troops on an expedition. Emperor Western Chu continued to receive good news from the front line in Kyoto. Although it was a pleasure to drive Feng Lan's people out, his goal of eradicating Li Shouyuan was never achieved. , but he heard the news that he was always alive and kicking, which made him a little anxious.

Moreover, what displeased him was that he deliberately withheld the military pay sent to the border in order to arouse dissatisfaction among the military against Li Shouyuan.

But unexpectedly, when this guy left, he took away all the belongings he had gathered before, and said that "in order to support the country in conquering the invaders, he is willing to donate all his family wealth to the army", earning himself a fortune. Beautiful name.

Because of this, he later had no choice but to ransack his house, and the Li family members he wanted to deal with were all very slippery. You could say they were greedy for money. They also imitated their "eldest brother" and donated all their wealth. , replaced it with food and grass, and let the army take it away with him.

Then a group of people moved to the slums of Kyoto. It would be fine if they were just ordinary people, but all of them had official positions.

A group of officials who can go to court. Although their official positions are not high, most of them are not low. They have spent all their wealth in order to support the border defense cause and have been reduced to living in slums. If he, the emperor, does not make any show, then Aren't you just waiting for people to point their noses and scold you?

Therefore, Emperor Xichu had no choice but to hold his nose and issue an order. He first praised their "high righteousness" and then rewarded this group of people with residences and slaves.

In the end, he didn't get any money, but he had to pay a fortune to support these people.

And in such a situation, it's really hard for him to attack them. If there is a slight mistake, it is easy for those untouchables to catch them and spread all kinds of rumors.

Due to various factors, Emperor Xi Chu became depressed and became ill. After receiving good news one day, he fainted in anger.

Unfortunately, it happened to be the time when the emperor was going to court. When he received the good news, he suddenly fainted, frightening all the ministers.

Fortunately, the chief eunuch on that day was smart enough and controlled the public opinion in time by saying that he was "overjoyed upon receiving the good news". Otherwise, he would have been labeled as "small-bellied", "ungrateful" and so on by the Li family who were watching eagerly from the sidelines. He died on the head of Emperor Xi Chu.

On the front line, after Li Shouyuan led his men to join Xiao Yin's men, relying on years of experience, he and Xiao Yin's generals cooperated tacitly and quickly repelled Feng Lan's men step by step.

Seeing that Feng Lan was about to die and was struggling to his death, Li Shouyuan felt that tomorrow's final battle would be a good time and decided to discuss it with the young master.

When his lieutenants first came here, they didn't know about his relationship with Xiao Yin and were very wary of Xiao Yin.

But Li Shouyuan wanted to conquer them and test them at the same time, so he never concealed his relationship with Xiao Yin in front of them. Fortunately, those who could become deputy generals were not fools. After figuring out the form, they decisively surrendered to him.

"General, what are you doing?" One of the lieutenants looked at Li Shouyuan, who had already changed his clothes, and felt a little puzzled.

"I'm going to discuss things with the young master tomorrow." Li Shouyuan replied.

"By the way, I may come back later, please remember to cover up." He had already walked to the front, but turned back to add something.

"Yes!"

After instructing his lieutenant to do the covering work, Li Shouyuan entered Xiao Yin's tent by familiar means.

At this time, the lights in Xiao Yin's tent were brightly lit, and a large number of people gathered, including Xiao Zhong and Xiao Miqi.

"Young Master, I'm here." Li Shouyuan said, greeting other colleagues.

"Just come, let's discuss tomorrow's affairs." Xiao Yin nodded and asked him to sit down.

"Yes, we have to discuss it carefully. After all, my eldest brother will be 'killed' tomorrow." Xiao Zhong smiled narrowly.

"Yes, yes, I wonder what 'General Li' feels?" Xiao Miqi, who had always been afraid of Xiao Yuan, actually had the courage to tease him.

"Is it because I haven't loosened the skin for you for too long?" Xiao Yuan heard the kid's tone of wanting to be beaten, and veins appeared on his forehead.

Sure enough, he was busy fighting during this period and had no time to deal with him. It really emboldened him!

As soon as Xiao Miqi saw this posture, he knew that he was going to be beaten. But now that he had a young master, it was not a big problem, but he restrained himself a little and did not dare to tease him anymore.

"Okay, Xiao Qi, stop making trouble, you still have to rely on your elder brother to help you." Xiao Zhong came out to smooth things over.

At this time, Xiao Yin spoke: "Have the arrangements been made for the people under you? Are you sure that when the news of your death comes out, they will surrender to us as originally planned?"

"It's OK. I have sent people to pick up their families. If they are sensible, they will naturally treat them as one family. If not..." Before Li Shouyuan could finish his words, others present had already understood what he meant.

"Hey, isn't this the eldest brother we hate so much? I didn't expect that one day he would actually use such a method." Xiao Zhong sarcastically said.

He was very vengeful, and he didn't know when he used this method. Xiao Yuan sneered at him, saying that he always used "underhanded methods."

Unexpectedly, this guy would actually use such a method one day, so he would naturally take this opportunity to taunt him back.

Li Shouyuan, also known as Xiao Yuan, rolled his eyes when he heard this, but he also knew that he was wrong in this matter and did not refute him.

"Then let's do it like this first. Our people have been put in. If they don't cooperate, we don't mind using some special means." Xiao Yin said.

"Go ahead as planned tomorrow. If you have any problems, our people will take care of it." He said to Xiao Yuan.

"Yes!"
