Red Dust Daqian

Chapter 171 Zhou Yu and Huang Gai

There is no contact point, the contact person is Li Ning'er, the Plum Blossom Division is too perfunctory. Li Qi can easily say such perfunctory words. Are you sure you can't do anything to them? Then you, the Plum Blossom Division, don't blame the Taoist priest for showing off his power and taking down your contact person.

By the way, there is another strange thing. Every time I meet with the people from the Plum Blossom Division, Li Ning'er is not there. Isn't this contact person too irresponsible? Zhou Sen directly asked Li Qi: Where is Li Ning'er? And why are you so far away from me? It's hard to talk to me.

Vanilla was also disappointed. The handsome man was too far away, which affected the viewing experience. The thumping heartbeat feeling was much weaker.

Li Qi responded to Zhou Sen unceremoniously: "I'm so far away from you, shouldn't you know it well? I hate rude people the most, those who touch me at will."

Li Qi was humiliating Zhou Sen for no reason. Zhou Sen could not stand being insulted, so he directly retorted: "You are sick, I am a straight man. I am not interested in someone like you who is neither male nor female. The last time I met you was an accident. Your breasts are soft, you don't look like a man."

Li Qi was furious and directly rebuked Zhou Sen: You bold demon, how dare you humiliate me, come and capture me.

As soon as he finished speaking, the big guards came forward and prepared to arrest Zhou Sen. A good man would not suffer a loss in front of him, so Zhou Sen hurriedly admitted his mistake: Brother Li, I was wrong, I will never touch you again. You are a man, a real man, mighty and majestic, and you have chest hair...

The guards burst into laughter. Li Qi was ashamed and annoyed, and angrily scolded Zhou Sen, "Shut up quickly." The guards were just pretending, and they didn't really arrest Zhou Sen. Li Qi blushed and said, "Stop talking nonsense, let's talk business, and bring over the list in your hand."

Zhou Sen took out the copied list from his pocket, but instead of handing it over to Li Qi, he proposed to exchange the list in his hand with Li Qi.

In Li Qi's impression, he forced Zhou Sen to make the list, but why did Zhou Sen want the list now? Li Qi questioned Zhou Sen: It is my Plum Blossom Division's job to take over Huaxi Shrine, why do you want the list of Huaxi Shrine?

Zhou Sen looked like a scoundrel and replied: "Then don't worry about it. I just want it. Equal exchange, otherwise I won't hand it over."

Zhou Sen insisted on taking the list back, and Li Qi had no choice but to order someone to get the remaining lists and exchange them with Zhou Sen.

Zhou Sen checked the list copied by Li Qi's spies. There were more names than those copied by Zhou Sen and others, but most of them were lists of the best people from all walks of life, including scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. There were no officials from Jiangxia or Kyoto. No wonder Li Qi was so eager to find him.

Huaxi Shrine has been working in Jiangxia Prefecture for a long time, and Zhou Sen was shocked by the wide range of the list. Under such conditions, if Jiangxia Prefecture has its own troops, it can completely become a country within the Daqian Kingdom.

Li Qi was quite dissatisfied after reading Zhou Sen's list, and asked in confusion: Are you sure you didn't keep this list privately? Why are there no Kyoto officials in it?

Zhou Sen was furious. You can doubt whether I missed something, but you can't doubt my character. Since I said I gave you all the lists, that means it's all the lists we copied yesterday. If you can't do it, you can find someone else to cooperate with.

Li Qi actually did not doubt Zhou Sen, but just blurted out the words. Seeing that Zhou Sen was really angry, he hurriedly apologized to Zhou Sen. However, there were no Kyoto officials on the list, which meant that Huaxi Temple might have a separate shrine in Kyoto. It seemed that this trip to Jiangxia Prefecture was not satisfactory.

Li Qi looked through the list over and over again, and finally found a few Kyoto officials from Jiangxia Prefecture who appeared in the list. It seems that he can still start with these people in the later stage.

Zhou Sen asked Li Qi: Now that the Jiangxia Prefecture list of Huaxi Shrine has been obtained, how does the Plum Blossom Division plan to deal with it?

Li Qi thought for a moment and said: "Our Plum Blossom Division's duty is to submit the evidence. As for how the court will deal with it, it is unknown."

Seeing that Zhou Sen was quite dissatisfied with his answer, Li Qi added: According to past experience, the imperial court will soon send troops to conquer Jiangxia Prefecture.

If we conquer Jiangxia Prefecture, wouldn't it be a disaster for all the people? Zhou Sen didn't want to see the entire Jiangxia Prefecture fall into war and the people be displaced.

Zhou Sen advised: This method may not be appropriate. Jiangxia Prefecture is surrounded by water on three sides, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, it is unknown how many soldiers and horses the Huaxi Shrine has raised. If we send troops to conquer them easily, it may become a protracted war, which will waste people's money and resources. Moreover, we don't know how many spies there are in Kyoto. If they take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, the court may find it difficult to deal with them. If the neighboring countries take advantage of the situation and invade again, Daqian may be in danger.

Li Qi was thinking about this, how could he not think of this, of course there is a better way. However, this better way needs someone to execute it, and this executor is entering into his own calculations.

Li Qi pretended to be helpless and asked: Does the Taoist priest have any good ideas?

Zhou Sen thought he had convinced Li Qi, and passionately expounded his ideas: defeat them one by one, win over those who are not deeply involved, and use coercive means against those who are stubborn. It would be best to find out the situation of the private army of Huaxi Shrine, and then infiltrate the inside and defeat them one by one.

Li Qiwei said in embarrassment: The court doesn't have a suitable candidate now? What if we hand this matter over to the Taoist priest?

Zhou Sen also pretended to be embarrassed: I have no official background, and it may be difficult to operate with a clean name. A hairless Taoist priest is not welcomed by the yamen runners. It is probably impossible to win over the officials of Jiangxia Prefecture. I can't even meet them, how can I operate?

The evil plan was about to succeed. Li Qiqiang pretended to be calm and said: This is not difficult. Our company can help you with the official identity issue. You just need to plan it.

Zhou Sen replied: Well, since Brother Li trusts me, I might as well give it a try.

Zhou Yu and Huang Gai were both willing to fight and be beaten, so Li Qi handed the task of destroying Huaxi Shrine to Zhou Sen, and Zhou Sen also successfully got the opportunity to overthrow and annex Huaxi Shrine. With the court as a backing, the operation was much easier.

After the matter was settled, Zhou Sen was ready to leave. Before leaving, Zhou Sen casually asked, how did Li Xiaoji deal with the evil servant? Li Qi looked at Li Qinwei, and Li Qinwei replied to Zhou Sen: He has been secretly detained, and the interrogation has not started yet. If I dig out information that is beneficial to the Taoist priest, I will take the initiative to inform you.

Zhou Sen wanted to shake hands with Li Qi and express his pleasure in cooperation according to the etiquette of the 21st century. But before he even got to Li Qi, he was stopped from a distance, as if he was afraid that Zhou Sen would be bumped into.

Zhou Sen felt puzzled. This Li Qi was really weird. Could it be that she was injured and didn't want me to find out? No wonder I could smell blood when I got close to her. But men should just say it directly when they are injured. Is there any need to hide it?
