Chapter 52: Is there such a thing as giving advice to others?
Li Xiao: "???"
"My lord, can you pay for the money on your friend's table?"
The waiter smiled and looked at Li Xiao expectantly.
But Li Xiao suddenly realized at this moment.
Coauthored that fat man deliberately tricked him!
Li Xiao thought for a while and said: "I am not friends with him, but we do know each other. His name is Cheng Chumo, and he is the son of Lord Lu. You can go to Cheng's mansion to ask for money. I believe Lord Lu will not rely on you for the money."
"Huh? Lu, Duke Lu..."
The waiter in the shop was dumbfounded when he heard the word Lu Guogong.
The corner of Li Xiao's mouth curled up, and then he turned and left.
At this time Li Junxian also stopped in front of Xiaoer Dian.
The waiter wanted to stop Li Xiao, but seeing Li Junxian like this, he didn't dare to speak.
After going out the door, within a few steps, Cheng Chumo got out from nowhere and came to Li Xiao.
"Brother Li, you came at a really good time. Thank you for helping me out this time. I don't want to thank you for your kindness. In the future, if you need me, just ask."
Cheng Chumo looked grateful.
"No need to thank you, I happen to be useful to you, are you willing to help?" Li Xiao said with a raised corner of his mouth.
"what?"
Hearing this, Cheng Chumo was stunned.
He was just saying polite words, but he didn't expect that Li Xiao was not polite at all.
Thick-skinned, rare in the world!
Cheng Chumo cursed secretly in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Brother Li, feel free to speak, as long as I can do it, I will do whatever I want!"
"Okay, it's refreshing enough, then go back and get the silver!" Li Xiao smiled and patted Cheng Chumo's shoulder, "I don't want much, just 1 taels will do."
"How many?!"
Cheng Chumo's eyes widened in shock.
"1 million taels of silver!"
"Brother Li, are you kidding Cheng? If I had so much money, wouldn't I be happy and happy, and..."
"Ahem, what I mean is that if I have money, I will definitely help, but I am also poor, and the money bag was stolen by thieves when I went out in the morning."
"You can ask Uncle Cheng to borrow it, or steal the house deed to mortgage it." Li Xiao said solemnly.
Cheng Chumo: "???"
He was stunned, what kind of rhetoric is this?
Is there any other way to help people out?
"Brother Li, don't embarrass me, 1 taels is too much, I really can't do it."
Cheng Chumo shook his head and sighed.
"Then you say the number, and I will borrow it from you."
This is what Li Xiao was waiting for.
If you want others to agree to your unreasonable request, you must first make an even more outrageous request.
In this way, the other party is mentally prepared.
When Cheng Chumo heard that the money was borrowed, he breathed a sigh of relief. After pondering for a moment, he said, "At most 1000 taels, brother, I can help you that much."
"Okay, 1000 taels is 1000 taels, let's go, go to Cheng Mansion now." Li Xiao said immediately without any hesitation.
Let's talk about the money after getting it. As for not paying it back, it depends on the mood.
Who let you, a fat man, cheat me.
Li Xiao was secretly happy.
What he lacks most now is money.
For him, as long as he has money, he can immediately convert it into his own strength and influence.
In this way, his development time can be greatly shortened, and he can compete against Fang Xuanling as soon as possible.
"This... ok!"
Cheng Chumo was really surprised by Li Xiao's thick skin.
But what can be done?
The words have already been spoken, no matter how uncomfortable it is, I have to bear it myself.
Cheng Chumo took Li Xiao and walked slowly towards Cheng's mansion.
"Fatty, isn't your father a great general? How could your purse be stolen when you go out? Didn't your father arrange a hundred or eighty guards for you?" Li Xiao suddenly asked suspiciously.
He also felt that this fat man's heart was really big.
But if Cheng Yaojin has a political opponent in the court, and Cheng Chumo is wandering around alone, how dangerous is he?
Cheng Chumo subconsciously looked at Li Junxian and the dozen or so guards beside him, with a look of envy in his eyes.
He immediately said not to be outdone, "How is it possible? When I travel, I am followed by hundreds of people, but I like to keep a low profile and let them follow from a distance without taking me with me."
"Ha ha."
Seeing this, Li Xiao responded with a hehe, no further words, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Cheng Chumo immediately felt that he had been insulted, and was a little anxious. He pointed in a direction and said, "Brother Li, don't you believe me? My guards are all over there. Do you want me to take you to meet him? Anyway, you are not short of time." .”
He also deliberately reminded Li Xiao to pay attention to the time, but he didn't want Li Xiao to really watch it.
Because he didn't bring the guards out at all.
And it just so happened that, in the direction Cheng Chumo pointed, the people scattered, and a large group of cavalry appeared.
The black armor and black cavalry are the imperial guards guarding Li Xiao.
Seeing this, Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help being ecstatic in his heart, and quickly said: "Hey, you see, my guard is coming soon."
"This is your bodyguard?" Li Xiao looked strange.
"nature!"
Cheng Chumo turned his nostrils to the sky, and said proudly: "See their armor, I think their outfits are too amazing, so I deliberately keep them away, let's go, don't let them get too close, I don't want to Expose your identity."
Hearing this, Li Xiao was speechless.
He knew that Fatty was good at pretending, but he didn't expect to be so good at it.
"Wait, I'll call them over."
Li Xiao yelled to stop Cheng Chumo who was rushing ahead.
"Brother Li..." Cheng Chumo turned his head and urged anxiously, "This is the guard of my Cheng manor. They don't know you as a prince, and they won't agree to you if you call them. Let's go!"
"Commander Zhao, come here!"
Li Xiao ignored Cheng Chumo, but called out to the black cavalry of the Imperial Army in the distance.
Commander Zhao's name is Zhao Yuntian, and he is the commander of the two hundred forbidden troops.
A middle-aged man in the front of the black knight immediately raised his hand, and all the guards behind him stopped their horses.
Afterwards, under Cheng Chumo's shocked gaze, the leader of the black cavalry dismounted, and quickly came to Li Xiao, knelt down on one knee, and shouted respectfully: "Your Majesty the King of Yue!"
"Commander Zhao, have you ever been an errand in Duke Lu's mansion?" Li Xiao asked expressionlessly.
"Returning to Your Highness, there is absolutely no such matter. This subordinate guards the palace and has never been to Duke Lu's mansion. Commander Li can testify to this subordinate." Zhao Yuntian looked up at Cheng Chumo, and then said to Li Xiao respectfully.
"Brother Cheng?"
Li Xiao turned his head and looked at Cheng Chumo expressionlessly.
Put it on, put it on!
At this moment, Cheng Chumo was almost dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at Zhao Yuntian who was kneeling on the ground, dumbfounded.
There was embarrassment in the air.
"Cough cough..."
After a long silence, Cheng Chumo coughed in embarrassment, and said, "I was dazzled just now, and I recognized the wrong person."
"I see."
Li Xiao's face was expressionless, but he was secretly laughing in his heart.
The dismantling was successful, and then the system sound that Li Xiao was looking forward to came, but only some seeds were rewarded.
In the past few days, the system has often reminded him to complete the dismantling and rewarded him, but they were all insignificant prizes, and he didn't even bother to check them.
It is worth mentioning that many seeds have been accumulated, which is one of the reasons why he decided to go to Lantian Mountain Villa.
The few people continued to move forward, and they arrived at the Cheng Mansion not long after.
"I have something to do and I won't go in."
"Uncle Li, you go in with him to get the money."
Li Xiao sat in the carriage and didn't even bother to get out of the carriage.
Cheng Chumo took Li Junxian into Cheng's mansion, and went straight to find Cheng Yaojin.
"Father, King Yue and I are brothers who share weal and woe. Now he is in urgent need of money and wants to borrow money from me. Look..."
Cheng Chumo's eyeballs rolled around, revealing a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"King Yue?"
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he couldn't help nodding secretly.
His son is not too wasteful, and he was able to make friends with the King of Yue.
Cheng Yaojin was very pleased with this, and asked casually, "How much do you need?"
"Father, not much, only 3000 taels of silver."
Cheng Chumo showed a pure smile.
Li Junxian, who was waiting outside the door, looked confused, what about the agreed 1000 taels?
Chapter 53: If you can't deceive people, you will be deceived
"How many?!"
Cheng Yaojin stared with a pair of bull's eyes.
With a "snap", Cheng Chumo slapped his head, showing annoyed expression: "Father, I made a mistake. It wasn't 3000 taels, but it was added to 5000 taels later."
Li Junxian who was outside the door was speechless when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
What's wrong with this world?
Why are children nowadays like cunning little foxes?
inside the house.
"Ten taels?"
Cheng Yaojin looked embarrassed, and reprimanded: "You brat, why did you promise to do so soon? Where can I get you 5000 taels of silver?!"
"Father!" Cheng Chumo smiled wretchedly, "Don't we have a lot of shops and fertile land? Just a little mortgage is enough."
"fart!"
Cheng Yaojin's neck turned red instantly, and angrily said: "It is absolutely impossible to mortgage the deed!"
