Chapter 658 Seeking Cooperation
Li Beifeng looked at the unruly young man in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
An acquaintance!
The young man in front of him was dressed gorgeously and exuded the aura of a dandy.
Isn't it Xie Changxun?
A member of the Xie family!
When Li Beifeng first came to Sunset City, he had a grudge with him.
That time, Li Beifeng taught him a profound lesson.
Now, I didn't expect to meet him here again.
When Xie Changxun saw Li Beifeng at this time, after a brief daze, his eyes looked even more like he had seen a ghost. As if he remembered some unbearable memories before, his face changed.
Before he could speak, the young masters behind him who were also dressed gorgeously could not sit still!
"Don't you have eyes? Dare to bump into our young master Xie?!"
"Kneel down and apologize quickly, admit your mistakes..."
As soon as these young masters opened their mouths, they felt a cold light flashing in front of their eyes.
The next second, a sword was pressed against the neck of one of the young masters.
Lin Ning looked at him coldly, and his cold eyes made the young master tremble all over.
"You, you..."
"Young master, how to deal with them?" Lin Ning turned his head and looked at Li Beifeng.
"Stop!"
Before Li Beifeng could speak, the guard beside the young master saw that his young master was held hostage, and he was furious. He drew the sword at his waist and was about to stab Lin Ning.
As a result, he was easily slapped away by Lin Ning just after he made a move.
And the other guards around him also made moves when they saw this.
"Stop, stop!"
At this moment, Xie Changxun, who finally came to his senses, finally reacted to something. He hurriedly shouted to the guards behind him: "Stop it!"
The guards were startled when they heard the voice, and they didn't know what happened, but they still stopped.
Then, Xie Changxun walked up to Li Beifeng, his face cautious, his tone slightly respectful and trembling, and he said: "Li, Mr. Li, hello, long time no see!"
Li Beifeng was a little surprised: "How do you know my name?"
"My father once told me before..."
Xie Changxun's face was full of caution, without any of the rebelliousness before.
The image of the dandy young man was gone forever.
And this scene, in the eyes of the other people present, was sluggish and unbelievable.
What happened?
What did they see?
Mr. Xie, he, actually spoke so respectfully to a strange man?
How is this possible? !
Who is Mr. Xie?
The eldest son of the Xie family!
Where is the Xie family? The largest family in Sunset City, with huge power, and good relations with the governor of Beizhou!
Even the eldest daughter of the Xie family married into the royal family of Dazhao and became the current queen!
The Xie family is a royal family!
Therefore, Master Xie is almost a free man in Sunset City!
But now, this scene is beyond their expectations.
This makes them all look at Li Beifeng. Who is this young man?
What is his identity? How can Master Xie be so respectful...even afraid?
For a moment, the faces of the young masters who just spoke wildly were ugly, and they felt that the end was coming.
What big shot did they offend?
At this time, Xie Changxun was also very nervous!
Since he had a grudge with Li Beifeng last year, he wanted to teach Li Beifeng a lesson, but he didn't expect that things would be beyond his imagination.
His father found him, taught him a lesson, and asked him to treat Li Beifeng with respect when he saw him in the future.
This made Xie Changxun confused!
But from his father's words, he vaguely realized that the other party had a great background and couldn't afford to offend him!
Therefore, Xie Changxun remembered this matter.
Now when he saw Li Beifeng, he was particularly respectful.
It's not just that Li Beifeng is not a small person and is not easy to offend. More importantly... the last lesson made Xie Changxun realize that Li Beifeng is more skilled in martial arts and he is no match for him!
All his guards present may not be his match.
"I see!"
Li Beifeng nodded slightly and glanced at him and the young masters behind him: "What are you doing here?"
"I, we didn't do anything..."
Xie Changxun answered carefully, and seemed to think of something, turned back to look at the young masters behind him, and shouted angrily: "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you come and apologize to Brother Li?"
The other young masters saw this and woke up from their dreams.
How dare they offend a person who even Young Master Xie has to respect?
"Mr. Li, we were wrong..."
"We were blind just now, don't bother with us..."
"..."
The other young masters apologized one after another, and a grudge was resolved.
Xie Changxun looked at Li Beifeng cautiously: "Then, I won't bother you, Brother Li. Let's go?"
He decided to run away!
Stay away from Li Beifeng in front of him.
However, Li Beifeng didn't seem to intend to let him go.
"Wait!"
Xie Changxun was startled, and forced a smile on his face: "Anything else?"
"I want to visit your father, let him know for me!"
"Ah?"
Xie Changxun's eyes widened.
...
Xie Mansion!
Located in the prosperous center of Sunset City.
Occupying an area of hundreds of acres, the entire mansion is as luxurious as any other mansion Li Beifeng has ever seen.
It is indeed one of the families with the deepest heritage in Sunset City, and you can tell that from the mansion.
This is not Li Beifeng's first time here.
He came here last year and met the current head of the Xie family!
now.
Li Beifeng once again stood in the hall where he appeared last year.
In front of him stood the familiar middle-aged man.
Dressed in a gray robe, plain and simple, there is no trace of the temperament of the head of the Xie family.
At this moment, he stared at Li Beifeng. After a moment of silence, he said, "How come Mr. Li has time to come to my place?"
Li Beifeng's lips raised slightly: "After returning to Beizhou, I suddenly thought of Mr. Xie, so I wanted to come and visit!"
Xie Yongan was silent for a moment, looked at the young man in front of him, and said lightly: "I'm afraid, it's not just a visit, right?"
"Master Xie is really smart!"
Xie Yongan said nothing, and looked at Li Beifeng quietly, with a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes.
"I haven't even had time to congratulate you, Master Xie!"
Li Beifeng chuckled lightly and said meaningfully.
Xie Yongan said calmly: "What is worthy of congratulations?"
"Congratulations, sir, you got what you wanted!"
Li Beifeng said: "Zhao Jing successfully ascended the throne. The Xie family has made great achievements in serving the dragon and has a stable position in Beizhou. Isn't this congratulations to Mr. Xie?"
Mentioning this matter, Xie Yongan's expression changed slightly and became serious.
He stared at Li Beifeng and said coldly: "Is there something in Mr. Li's words?"
"No, just congratulations and thank you sir!"
Li Beifeng smiled.
Xie Yong'an did not speak, and stared at Li Beifeng for a long time before saying coldly: "Your Majesty's accession to the throne has nothing to do with my Xie family!"
"Master Li, why are you looking for me today?"
Li Beifeng said: "I came to see Mr. Xie today, not in any other capacity, but as a friend. I want to have a good talk with Mr. Xie!"
"friend?"
"In other words, Xie Wan'er's friend!"
Li Beifeng said calmly.
"Wan'er..."
Hearing Li Beifeng mention Xie Wan'er, Xie Yongan's face showed a strange look. He stared at Li Beifeng for a moment: "Are you and Wan'er just friends?"
"What do you think, Mr. Xie?"
Xie Yongan didn't speak. He stared at Li Beifeng for a while before speaking: "What do you want to say?"
"I would like to ask, what does Mr. Xie think of the current situation in Jokhang?"
Li Beifeng glanced at him: "Now that Prince Zhaonan has rebelled, Zhao is in danger... What do you think, Mr. Xie?"
Xie Yong'an unexpectedly glanced at Li Beifeng and was silent for a moment: "Prince Zhaonan is so ambitious that as a minister he covets the position of emperor. He deserves death!"
Li Beifeng chuckled and asked: "If one day, the war spreads to Beizhou, what will Mr. Xie make?"
Xie Yongan's expression changed slightly, and he stared at Li Beifeng: "How do you say this?"
"What if!"
Xie Yongan was silent and then said: "Beizhou is thousands of miles away from the south of the Yangtze River. If the war reaches Beizhou, Dazhao will be completely occupied. As a minister of Dazhao, I will definitely do my part for Dazhao!"
"Thank you for your loyalty and patriotism. It is really rare!"
Li Beifeng praised, but then said: "Even if the entire Xie family is sacrificed, is it not a pity?"
Xie Yongan was silent!
The corners of Li Beifeng's lips raised slightly, which was the same result he wanted!
Xie Yongan was silent for a moment: "There is no need to worry about the governor of Beizhou!"
He Wansheng is Beizhou's reassurance. With him in charge of Beizhou, there will be no chaos in Beizhou.
His Xie family has been rooted in Beizhou for many years, and even experienced the subjugation of the country and still stood firm. There is nothing to fear from strong winds and waves.
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Li Beifeng said meaningfully.
Xie Yongan frowned slightly. He stared at Li Beifeng, feeling that there seemed to be something in his words.
After a moment of silence, Xie Yongan stared at him: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"nothing!"
Li Beifeng chuckled: "I want to make a deal with Mr. Xie!"
"What deal?"
Li Beifeng glanced at him: "A deal that will allow your Xie family to avoid a crisis!"
Xie Yongan looked solemn and stared at Li Beifeng: "What do you mean?"
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Xie was once a subject of Northern Qi, right?"
Xie Yongan's face changed slightly, and he was shocked!
He didn't forget!
But how could he forget what happened eighteen years ago?
Eighteen years ago, the Xie family were still members of the Northern Qi Dynasty. As one of the largest families in the Northern Qi Dynasty, they survived the war of national subjugation.
After that, they took refuge in Dazhao, received Dazhao's support, and became one of the largest families in Beizhou after reconstruction.
The Xie family had a close relationship with the Jokhang court, and even the Jokhang emperor ordered a marriage. The prince married the daughter of the head of the Xie family and became the crown princess. The Xie family suddenly became the most powerful family in Beizhou!
Everything seems perfect!
For the Xie family, this is indeed the best choice.
but……
Since the crown prince succeeded to the throne, the daughter of his Xie family became the Queen of Jokhang.
But when he thanked the family, he seemed to have become an abandoned son.
When the prince succeeded to the throne, he seemed to have forgotten his Xie family, which belonged to Beizhou!
Why doesn't Xie Yongan understand the reason?
After all, the Xie family's blood is the blood of the people of Northern Qi, and they are destined not to be fully accepted by Dazhao. The existence of the Xie family has become a pawn for the imperial court to control Beizhou!
Once there is no longer any use value, they will be ruthlessly abandoned.
At this time, Li Beifeng brought up the matter again, which shocked Xie Yongan.
He remembered Li Beifeng's identity. Zhou Qiu Ning had mentioned that he seemed to have a good relationship with the princess... Could it be that he knew something?
He stared at Li Beifeng: "What do you want to say?"
"Beizhou will be in chaos!"
Li Beifeng spoke slowly.
"Chaos?"
Xie Yongan suddenly stared at Li Beifeng: "What do you mean?"
Before Li Beifeng could speak, he seemed to suddenly think of something: "Northern Qi rebels?!"
He remembered that during this period of time, the figures of the Northern Qi old party appeared in many places in Northern State.
Could it be that the Northern Qi old party wanted to rebel at this time?
"Beizhou will be in chaos, Xiyang City will be in chaos, and even your Xie family is no exception!"
Li Beifeng looked at Xie Yongan's solemn face quietly, and raised his mouth slightly: "Maybe you don't know yet, He Wansheng is a chess piece arranged by Prince Zhaonan in Beizhou?"
As soon as the voice fell, Xie Yongan suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Beifeng, his face shocked: "You, what did you say?!"
"Is this true?!!"
"Absolutely true!"
Li Beifeng said calmly.
Xie Yongan's eyes were instantly terrified, and this news was beyond his tolerance.
He Wansheng, turned out to be the prince's man?
Then, wouldn't Beizhou be...
It's over? !
No, it's Dazhao that's going to be over? !
Thinking of this possibility, Xie Yongan's heart was wrapped in fear and shock.
There is Prince Zhaonan in the south. Once He Wansheng in the north rebels, Dazhao will definitely be in danger!
It may even face the danger of extinction!
"Where did you get this news?!"
Xie Yongan stared at Li Beifeng.
"It doesn't matter where it comes from, what matters is that it is absolutely true!"
Li Beifeng looked at him quietly: "As a citizen of Dazhao now, what choice will you make?"
Xie Yongan was silent, frowning, thinking without speaking.
"Once Beizhou is in chaos, your Xie family will definitely not be able to stay out of it. More importantly, Xie Wan'er's current identity... will definitely implicate your Xie family! Do you think they will let your Xie family go when the time comes?"
Li Beifeng spoke slowly.
Xie Yongan's heart sank.
He knew very well.
If He Wansheng is really the man of Prince Zhaonan, then if something goes wrong, his Xie family will definitely become cannon fodder.
As if thinking of something, he stared at Li Beifeng: "What do you want to say?"
"What kind of deal do you want to make?!"
Li Beifeng said calmly: "A deal that can keep your Xie family alive... I want something, with that thing, I will keep your Xie family safe!"
Xie Yongan said solemnly: "How can you guarantee it?!"
"If I say I can guarantee it, I will definitely keep your Xie family safe and sound. I can even make your Xie family the largest family in Beizhou within a hundred years, and no one can shake the status of the Xie family!"
Li Beifeng spoke calmly, but these words shocked Xie Yongan's heart.
If someone else said this, he would probably beat him up as a madman.
But the man in front of him...
Xie Yongan stared at Li Beifeng for a long time, and his thoughts were silent and hesitant for a long time.
After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "What do you want?"
"The city defense deployment map of Sunset City, and..."
Li Beifeng paused for a moment: "The deployment of the governor's mansion and the news of the masters around He Wansheng!"
"What?!"
Xie Yongan seemed to think of something and suddenly raised his head: "You, what do you want to do?!"
Li Beifeng stood in the courtyard, with his hands behind his back, slightly raised his head, and looked up at the distance calmly.
At this moment, the sun fell on him, and the light scattered.
"I want to make the world peaceful!"
"..."
