Chapter 210 Either you die or I die

"This is the breath of the first-class, and there are more than one, there are six."

At this moment, Li Yifan, who was outside the door, felt the breath of six first-class masters appearing, and it came from the inner courtyard.

"Our cultivation level has indeed been improved with His Highness."

Li Yifan muttered to himself, and he knew that their cultivation level would not improve for no reason. He had only suspected it before, but now it has been verified.

The cultivation level they have now was given to them by Xiao Tingxuan.

When did His Highness have such a heaven-defying method?

Li Yifan couldn't figure it out.

Just after Xiao Tingxuan arranged this hidden chess, on the other side, Li Gui returned to Qingfeng Village with a group of brothers.

Afterwards, Li Gui was also ruthless and stabbed himself, causing a serious injury and lying on the bed to recuperate.

Not long after Li Gui returned to Qingfeng Village, the three chieftains had received the news and sent people to Qingfeng Village to get the news and ask Li Gui how the trip went.

As a result, the three chieftains were beyond their expectations. Xiao Tingxuan actually had a top-rank master by his side. Li Gui almost couldn't come back. In the end, he lost half his life and escaped from Xiao Tingxuan.

Looking at Li Gui's injury, the three chieftains were sure that Li Gui was not lying to them, because Li Gui didn't need to lie to them, and it would not be good for Li Gui.

"What do you think we should do?"

After getting the news from Li Gui, the three chieftains gathered together for the first time in many years to discuss how to deal with Xiao Tingxuan.

Previously, they thought Xiao Tingxuan was just a young boy who could be manipulated by them.

But after Li Gui's trial, they found that they had misjudged and underestimated Xiao Tingxuan.

They never thought that Xiao Tingxuan actually had a top-rank master under his command. Could it be that the old emperor sent someone to follow Xiao Tingxuan to protect him?

Then I heard Bai Zihuan, the head of the Bai family, said directly: "If it were me, we should just get rid of Xiao Tingxuan to prevent future troubles."

The Bai family mainly does maritime business, and they are generally very irritable.

What can we do? Just get rid of Xiao Tingxuan. As long as Xiao Tingxuan dies, the rule of never increasing taxes will disappear.

After hearing Bai Zihuan say this, the heads of the Zhang and Ma families both looked at him.

"It's easy to kill Xiao Tingxuan, but what if the court investigates? What should we do?"

They were afraid of the court, so they avoided Xiao Tingxuan everywhere before and didn't dare to take action against Xiao Tingxuan easily, so as not to arouse the emperor's anger.

"What's there to be afraid of? Even if the old emperor knows, what can he do? In Sanhe, he can send a few troops."

The Zhang and Ma families were afraid of the emperor, but Bai Ziheng was not afraid at all. If the emperor had the ability to manage Sanhe, Sanhe would have been ruled by the officials of the Great Zhou long ago, and it would not be their turn as chieftains.

Besides, his Bai family often lives on the water. Even if the court sends troops to attack, can't he escape to the water if he can't defeat them?

According to his understanding, the Great Zhou Dynasty seems to have no navy.

Even if there is, can it be against those who live on the water all year round?

No matter how the matter turns out, his Bai family has a way out, which is why Bai Ziheng is arrogant and doesn't take Xiao Tingxuan seriously.

However, although Bai Ziheng is arrogant and impulsive, he is not a fool. This matter cannot be left to his Bai family alone, and the Zhang and Ma families must be involved.

"Anyway, it's up to you two families to consider this matter. To be honest, Xiao Tingxuan's kid will never increase taxes. It's not a big loss for my Bai family. It's only reduced by a quarter."

Bai Ziheng is still stimulating the Zhang and Ma families. He put his words here. If the two families don't do it, his Bai family won't do it either.

Anyway, the loss of his Bai family is not big, and it's okay to suffer a little loss.

Zhang and Ma families don't believe what Bai Ziheng said at all.

A quarter reduction in annual income is not a big loss? It would be strange if they believed Bai Ziheng's lies. Bai Ziheng was provoking them and dragging them down with him.

"TND, I'll do it."

After thinking for a while, Ma Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble and play a big hand.

It's just revenge from the court, no big deal, just do it.

Bai Ziheng's words make sense, there's nothing to be afraid of.

The Bai family loses a quarter of its income every year, and Bai Ziheng wants to do it, while the two families lose at least one-third every year.

One-third every year, even though Sanhe is a remote place, the three chieftains can earn millions of taels of silver every year, how much.

Now, because of Xiao Tingxuan's words, they have lost a total of millions of taels of income, how can they not hate Xiao Tingxuan in their hearts.

Just do it!

People die for money, birds die for food.

Either Xiao Tingxuan dies or they die, there is no choice.

Both the Bai and Ma families expressed their intention to deal with Xiao Tingxuan. If the Zhang family did not express their position at this time, it would seem unsociable.

For this reason, the Zhang family also joined the camp to attack Xiao Tingxuan.

The strongest chieftains of the three families of Sanhe began to take action against Xiao Tingxuan.

It was when the chieftains took action that Xiao Tingxuan also received news, which was brought to him by the people of Heibingtai.

Heibingtai is the behind-the-scenes force created by Xiao Tingxuan a few days ago, named Heibingtai.

After letting Li Gui go back, Xiao Tingxuan knew that these chieftains must have made some moves, so he ordered the people of Heibingtai to secretly monitor the three families, and inform him immediately as soon as the three families took any action.

"Yifan."

After learning that the chieftains had taken action, Xiao Tingxuan immediately stopped Li Yifan.

"What do you want, Your Highness?"

Li Yifan appeared in front of Xiao Tingxuan.

"Go and tell your uncle to recruit people locally to build a palace for me. I will provide them with food and accommodation, and pay them.

We brought a thousand guards from Kyoto. From now on, they will not have to do hard labor. They will all be organized into the Royal Guard Battalion and be under your command.

Now, you go and bring them all. I have something to tell you."

Xiao Tingxuan ordered Li Yifan. At this point, it is time for these guards brought from Kyoto to show their value.

You can't always let them do hard labor. This won't work. After all, I am a prince and must have my own army.

The hard labor work will be left to the locals in Sanhe in the future.

Xiao Tingxuan will not treat them unfairly. He will provide them with food and accommodation, and pay them.

If you want to ask where Xiao Tingxuan gets such a large expense, is it to exchange it with the system?

No, no, no, the chieftains' property will soon become Xiao Tingxuan's personal assets. It's a joke that he has so much wealth and is afraid of not being able to pay the workers' wages.

Not long after, Li Yifan brought all the 1,000 guards recruited from Kyoto to Xiao Tingxuan.

As usual, Xiao Tingxuan first brainwashed them, and then announced that they would be members of the personal guard camp in the future. They didn't need to work anymore, just need to train well to kill enemies for him.

After that, Xiao Tingxuan divided the 1,000 people into ten teams, and each team selected a sergeant.

After all these things were done, the next step was to the key point. It was Xiao Tingxuan's turn to take action.
