But he saw a scene that he will never forget.
Doorway.
Li Junxian, who was in armor, walked in slowly, until he got behind Li Xiao, knelt down on one knee, and shouted loudly: "This subordinate has seen Mr. Xiao!"
"Uncle Li... get up!"
Li Xiao turned around, with a helpless expression on his face: "How did you find it?"
"Young Master Xiao, it's too risky for you to do this!"
Li Junxian also couldn't laugh or cry.
He thought that Li Xiao would take the opportunity to slip away, and arranged for his subordinates to watch over him.
But he never expected that Li Xiao not only slipped away, but was still not discovered by his subordinates.
How Li Xiao did it, he is still very confused.
"Let's go back and talk about other things."
Li Xiao didn't take it seriously, and after finishing speaking, he looked at the manager and was about to speak.
However, the manager plopped and knelt down directly, crying to his father and mother: "My lord, please forgive me! My lord, please spare my life!"
"The little one has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, the little dog sees people as inferior, and the little one is a bastard, please let me treat the little one like a fart! The little one knows his mistake."
At this moment, the housekeeper only felt his back was cold, his whole body was drenched with sweat, and the fear in his heart instantly spread.
He never expected that this little boy would have such a terrifying background.
Although he didn't know the man wearing the armor, he had some knowledge. This armor was not something ordinary officers and soldiers could wear.
Hearing this, Li Junxian shot a cold light in his eyes, and said coldly: "Dare to be disrespectful to Mr. Xiao, come here!"
In an instant, more than a dozen armed guards rushed in at the door, and the gleaming white weapons in their hands exuded a penetrating aura.
"Uncle Li, forget it."
Li Xiao shook his head slowly, then looked at the manager: "Where's the money?"
At this time, the manager was terrified. Hearing this, he quickly opened the drawer and said in horror, "Yes! Yes! My lord, this money is all yours! I just beg you to spare my life!"
Seeing this, Li Xiao shook his head expressionlessly, and he was very sad in his heart. If he had changed to a person with no strength and no background today, he would probably be beaten to death by this steward.
"This workshop, just close it!"
After Li Xiao finished speaking, he went out slowly.
Chapter 20: Uncle Li, can I trust you?
Li Xiao waited outside the door for a while, and then Li Junxian led someone to follow.
"Young Master Xiao, the workshop has been closed, do you want to send him to the prison?"
"Forget it, let it go!" Li Xiao shook his head.
Li Junxian looked puzzled: "These people are buying and selling by force, and they have bullied the young master, why should they let go?"
"They may have made mistakes, but they are not heinous. They have to be forgiven and forgive others. They also want to make a living. After this incident, they should change their ways." Li Xiao said slowly.
"My lord is kind! I admire you!" Li Junxian clasped his fists.
"Uncle Li, can I trust you?" Li Xiao asked suddenly.
Hearing this, Li Junxian's expression was shocked, and he quickly knelt down on one knee, and said: "This subordinate has no second thoughts about the young master. If this statement is false, he will die without a whole body!"
"Uncle Li, get up, I'm just joking, why take it seriously, really."
Li Xiao helped Li Junxian up helplessly.
After thinking about it, Li Xiao took out the blueprint of the core parts of the magic arm crossbow from his arms and handed it to Li Junxian.
"Uncle Li, to be honest, this is a very powerful small crossbow. This is the blueprint of the remaining core parts. Now I will give them all to you, but I don't want anyone else to know about it. You understand Do I mean?"
To make this decision, Li Xiao also thought for a long time.
He understands the principle of using people without doubt and doubting people without using them.
For Li Junxian, he still trusts him very much.
It's just that the contact time is too short, so it's inevitable that I will be a little wary.
After all, this divine arm crossbow blueprint is one of his few treasures.
"Young Master, don't worry, this subordinate swears that it will never be leaked!"
Li Junxian took the blueprint and didn't take it seriously.
Very powerful?
How strong can it be?
I'm afraid it is far worse than the crossbow in the army.
Of course, he didn't say this, for fear of hurting Li Xiao.
"Okay, next let's find the workshop to manufacture this core part."
Li Xiao nodded, his eyes thoughtful.
This is his test for Li Junxian.
It's nothing now, but one day Li Junxian will know the power of this crossbow, and it will depend on Li Junxian's choice at that time.
It's not that he didn't think about dedicating the drawings to Li Er, but once he did so, Li Er would inevitably produce massively and arm the army.
At that time, maybe his secret enemy might also get the God Arm Crossbow.
Isn't this sending weapons to the enemy to assassinate oneself?
He's not that stupid.
Therefore, Li Xiao felt that until he found the person behind the scenes, the Divine Arm Crossbow was still his trump card, and it was best not to expose it.
Next, Li Xiao and Li Junxian went to several workshops and explained the parts that needed to be made.
"My lord, it's getting late, let's go back too!" Li Junxian asked while leading the horse.
"Go back, I still have something to ask Uncle Li." Li Xiao's eyes were thoughtful.
"Alright, what do you want to ask Mr. Xiao?"
"Uncle Li, how is your skill?"
"good."
"Where can you rank in the capital?"
"This one……"
Li Junxian thought for a while, and then said: "It's hard to say, there are many strong men in the capital, even those on the bright side, their subordinates have never fought against each other, let alone those masters who are hidden from the world."
"Then let Uncle Li secretly take something from the file room of Tiance Mansion, how sure is it that the guards won't find it?" Li Xiao continued to ask.
"Tiance Mansion Archives? Mr. Xiao, do you want to..."
Li Junxian was shocked, and then said quickly: "This is absolutely impossible, the Tiance Mansion is a military secret, how can you trespass at will, it will cost you your head!"
"I'm not asking you to go, I'm just asking, I've been to the file room before." Li Xiao said helplessly.
"Ah?" Li Junxian was even more surprised, with an unbelievable expression on his face, "Did Mr. Xiao just go to the file room? How did you get in?"
"Don't worry about how you got in. I wanted to check the files of the servants of Prince Qin's mansion, but I found that the page recording the key information was torn off in advance. I suspect it was done by a master."
"I see."
Li Junxian suddenly realized, and then said with a very serious expression: "If you let the subordinates go down and tear up the files, it will be troublesome, but it is not too difficult. Do you want to investigate from those masters in the capital?"
"Yes, Uncle Li, how many people in this capital city can do this? How many people do you know?" Li Xiao nodded and asked seriously.
"My lord, I advise you to give up!" Li Junxian shook his head.
"Why?" Li Xiao frowned slightly.
"My lord, you also know that since you are a master, you must have an extraordinary background behind you. If there is no order from His Royal Highness King Qin, you may offend many people when you investigate."
"It's not an open investigation, it's a secret investigation."
"How about this, when the subordinates go back, they will draw up a list for the young master, and it's hard to tell now."
"also."
Li Xiao nodded.
Since Li Junxian is willing to help, it is naturally the best.
The two walked slowly towards Prince Qin's mansion.
I do not know how long it has been.
"Da da da!"
Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes came from the street in the distance.
Pedestrians on the street gave way in a panic, and many fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Li Xiao frowned slightly.
Such arbitrariness, is it true that the street belongs to his family?
"Uncle Li!"
Li Xiao shouted, the meaning was self-evident.
Of course he didn't want to meddle in his own business.
But he was walking well on the street, why should he stop to give way?
Li Junxian understood instantly, and came behind Li Xiao, slightly raised the long sword in his hand, as if he was going to strike.
But as the group of horse riders gradually approached, Li Junxian was stunned, and shouted in surprise: "General Cheng?"
"Appreciate~"
Seeing Li Junxian standing in the middle of the street, Cheng Yaojin also called to stop his mount.
"Li Junxian? Why are you blocking my way?"
Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Junxian puzzled.
Cheng Yaojin?
Li Xiao turned his head back, and the person in front of him was full of flesh, holding a Xuan flower axe, who else could it be if it wasn't Cheng Yaojin?
The person next to Cheng Yaojin caught Li Xiao's attention.
With dark skin and a fat body, isn't this the same Cheng Chumo I saw on the mountain today?
It turned out to be the case.
A look of amazement flashed in Li Xiao's eyes, no wonder he felt the name was familiar, it turned out that Cheng Chumo was Cheng Yaojin's son.
And Cheng Chumo also saw Li Xiao at this moment, jumped off the horse with a look of surprise, and gave Li Xiao a bear hug.
"Haha, little brother, fate, we meet again."
Cheng Chumo smiled, pulled Li Xiao and said to Cheng Yaojin: "Father, let me introduce you, my son. This little brother is my friend. Let's arrange it later and make him an official in his family."
When Cheng Yaojin saw Li Xiao, he immediately recognized him. When he was in the East Palace, the shock Li Xiao gave him is still fresh in his memory.
And when he heard Cheng Chumo's words, his face was as black as coal.
little brother?
Also make an official!
If this word got to Yushitai, he would be in big trouble.
Rebel!
Cheng Yaojin almost died of anger.
He hastily got off his horse, came to Li Xiao in a hurry, slapped Cheng Chumo's hand on Li Xiao's shoulder, then cupped his fists and shouted respectfully: "I've seen Mr. Xiao!"
After finishing speaking, Cheng Yaojin stared at Cheng Chu silently with a pair of bull's eyes: "Nizi! Are you still not polite? This is His Highness King Qin's Young Master Li Xiao!"
