Chapter 29 The Hidden Truth
Suddenly, Zhang Qingyun understood that Li Dachui had said something unintentionally on the road.
He said that Tie Le, the young prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and Jiang Qian of the Southern Chu Dynasty would both be his lifelong enemies.
When he said these words, he did not mention Linghuye, who was currently the most powerful outside the pass.
He did not take Linghuye into consideration.
Originally, she thought it was just the arrogance of a young and frivolous horse bandit leader who had not experienced many setbacks and had not seen much of the world, but now Zhang Qingyun no longer thinks so.
Such a majestic city is the foundation of his career.
Moreover, this person's strength must be far more than that.
On the surface, Tai'an City does not have much force.
The kind of martial arts cultivation that dominates the world is actually not very helpful in fighting for world hegemony. An innate master can play a decisive role in a local area, but in the face of the general trend of the world, he is insignificant.
That's why Li Dachui, a horse bandit, concealed his true status in Tai'an City.
Let everyone think that he was just lucky enough to find an innate master as his background.
In the light and dark, Tai'an City is amassing wealth on the bright side. Looking at the situation in front of you, I am afraid that most of the wealth outside the customs is gathered in this Tai'an City.
And huge wealth and a steady stream of financial resources are the fundamentals of a person who achieves great things.
The force hidden in the dark is their claws extending out.
If Tai'an City had both massive wealth and strong military force, I am afraid that Linghuye would not have been able to tolerate his existence a long time ago.
Even if it costs a lot, I believe Linghuye will kill it.
This kind of development, both light and dark, has brought Tai'an City all the way to where it is today.
Looking at the current appearance, Li Dachui does not seem to be planning to continue to hide his power and bide his time, but is intentionally or unintentionally revealing the strength of Tai'an City. This illustrates two things.
The first thing is that their strength is enough to challenge any force including Linghuye.
The second thing is that there is going to be chaos outside the customs, or in other words, there is going to be chaos in Great Qin. At this time, everyone will have their own plans, and continuing to hide one's capabilities and bide one's time will undoubtedly cause Tai'an City to lose an opportunity for rapid development.
To put it bluntly, you want to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, but you have been pretending to be a pig for too long and everyone thinks you are a real pig. Then who will come to rely on you!
That would be really self-defeating.
So when the time is right, it is necessary to show your true strength to the world.
Half-hidden and half-covered, those who can understand naturally understand. Those who still can’t understand are probably not what people like Li Dachui want.
After thinking about these things, Zhang Qingyun couldn't help but sweat slightly on his forehead.
If Li Kaixin hadn’t revealed some things to him intentionally or unintentionally, I might not have been able to figure out the key to it.
Although my father also did not know these things, based on his many years of experience in fighting in the imperial court, he vaguely felt that Li Dachui was the key to breaking the situation outside the pass.
It’s just that this Li Dachui is probably much more complicated than his father imagined.
This person will definitely not be a filial son and grandson of the Qin Dynasty that his father is loyal to. I am afraid that he is just as ambitious as Linghuye, but under the cover of Linghuye's big goal, No one saw him grinding his teeth in the dark, watching everything.
"Uncle, where are we going now? Are we going to meet Brother Li?" Zhang Qingyun asked.
"No, Young Master said, Miss Qingyun needs to go to the shop to practice first!" Li Kaixin said with a smile: "I will send Miss Qingyun to the shop. When will Young Master see you again, I will But I don’t know.”
“Just go and be a sales girl, isn’t it?” Zhang Qingyun pouted.
Taian City, I really want to see how you are different from other places? This is the foundation of Li Dachui's career. If you study this place thoroughly, you will most likely be able to figure out what kind of medicine Li Dachui sells in his gourd.
That hateful guy, when I see you next time, I will definitely reveal all your old secrets to see if you still dare to show off in front of this girl.
The carriage stopped in front of a large house.
Different from the shops he had seen before, the shop that Li Dachui mentioned was so big that it exceeded Zhang Qingyun's expectation.
On the square street cut by the road, this shop occupies one of the squares.
On Zhang Qingyun's side alone, four doors were opened.
Big pillars that are as thick as each other support this huge shop.
In other places, the same square contains dozens of shops. Zhang Qingyun raised his head and looked at the flag embroidered with a hammer flying above the building.
Li Dachui Supermarket!
Under the plaque with flying dragons and phoenixes, it is signed Zhou Zhi.
He is the lord of Tai'an City.
"Everything you want for food, clothing, housing and transportation can be bought here!" Li Kaixin was elated. "Even if there is no goods available at the moment, you can still place an order in advance. In the shortest time, Li Dachui Supermarket can provide you with the goods." I'll give you a service that satisfies you!"
"Anything is okay?"
"Of course, even if you order to kill Xiao Changche, girl, we can give it a try. ."
"Nonsense!" Zhang Qingyun snorted.
"It's true. The reason why no one places such an order is that no one can afford the deposit." Li happily laughed.
"I'm afraid that if the person in front of you is in trouble, the person in the back will die of a sudden illness, right?" Zhang Qingyun looked at Li Kaixin: "Even if you die of illness, you will definitely not break the rules of Tai'an City, right?"
"That's right! As long as our Tai'an City-certified doctor confirms that the person died of a sudden illness and not due to any other abnormal reasons, the rules will naturally not be broken."
"It seems that this rule, It varies from person to person!”
Li Kaixin smiled and didn’t answer.
"I want to start from the lowest level as a waiter, right?" Zhang Qingyun then asked.
"That's just a joke. Miss Qingyun's identity is different. How can I ask you to start from scratch?" Li Kaixin said: "Girl, settle down first, and then understand the specific situation before making a decision."
"How much money can each business here make in a year?"
"The less ones are ten thousand taels of silver, and the more ones are hundreds of thousands taels!" Li Kaixin He said: "There are also losses."
"How much did the biggest loser lose?"
"It seemed like one or two hundred thousand taels last year!" Li Kaixin answered easily: "But it's not that they are incompetent, it's that at this stage, our business still mainly relies on external spending, and we can't yet balance internal and external balances."
"Then I'll do this!" Zhang Qingyun made the decision without hesitation.
While Zhang Qingyun was beginning a new chapter of her life in Tai'an City with some uneasiness, Li Dachui was comfortably enjoying his days as the long-lost young city lord.
The mist is steaming in the room, and the temperature is at least ten degrees higher than outside. It is truly as warm as spring.
With a large piece of cloth wrapped around his waist, Li Dachui got up and lay face down on the soft cushion. He picked up the small mallet at hand and knocked it lightly. After a soft ding, The door was opened, and a slim woman came in carrying a plate. She placed the wooden plate next to Li Dachui, then knelt down to one side, took out a small bottle from the plate, and slowly poured the liquid in the bottle into the palm of her hand. After rubbing it slowly for a while, he began to massage Li Dachui's naked back gently until the liquid in his palm completely penetrated into Li Dachui's back. Then he poured some more liquid into his hand and massaged another part.
Li Dachui made a comfortable hum.
Fatty Li Kaixin quietly opened the door and walked in, sitting cross-legged next to Li Dachui. The young woman cleared the dishes and quietly left the room.
“Everything has been settled?”
“It’s settled, Miss Qingyun has chosen Zhiqiuyuan!” Li Kaixin smiled and said, “When I told you that our business suffered huge losses , she chose this place without thinking."
"This girl is very arrogant." Li Dachui chuckled: "And she is very resilient. I admire her very much. I never expected Zhiqiuyuan to make money for us. As long as they can spend the money effectively, I will be happy.”
“Is the young master really interested in her?”
"I'm very interested in her, especially her father!" Li Dachui said: "If Zhang Ruo can really become Xiao Changche's helper as we wish, hey, then this game of chess outside the customs will be even more interesting. "
"I didn't mean what you said, young master, that's what I said! The city lord has always been very anxious!"
"I'm only twenty-five or six. , He is in a hurry!" Li Dachui said dissatisfied.
“Don’t the city lord want to have a grandson as soon as possible?” Li Kaixin said with a smile.
“He is afraid that I will accidentally burp my butt and my pigtails will curl up!” Li Dachui snorted: “So he is anxious to let me leave some incense!”
"Young Master has a deep and long blessing, and he will live a long life no matter what!"
"I hope so!" Li Dachui said: "Anyway, I think the old man still refuses to tell me about my parents. What is it for? Who is it? Who is the enemy? I think it's a big problem. He is a congenital master. How amazing is the fact that a congenital master needs to hide it? He is also a person, and his subordinates are powerful enough, but in the eyes of the old man, he is not enough. So who is this enemy? Fatty, you must know, tell me!"
Li Kaixin smiled bitterly, but his mouth was pursed tightly.
“Forget it, I really think I can’t find out!” Li Dachui looked disdainful: “Fat man, just wait and see. It won’t be long before I reveal the truth! Sometimes, haha, look at me spitting the truth on the old man’s face.”
