Chapter 299: Chapter 303 – joining forces to resist_1
Li Jun was the representative of the new generation. He was not even 30 years old, but he was already an early – Stage rank -2 powerhouse. The Li family was actually a family of martial artists. They had moved overseas to avoid revenge. However, what the Li family didn’t know was that Wang haiting and the others had flown the drones to the window of the conference room and were watching. “Tang Wen is such a bully. Father, if he dares to attack us, we’ll kill him all.” Li Jun exploded on the spot when he heard that. “Kill, kill, kill, how many can you kill?” Li Hao snorted. “What do they have? it’s just a few hundred Spears. What kind of soldiers can a deputy commander lead? they’re all recruited by the commoners. They’re not that good.” Li Jun retorted. “Do you have a pig brain? You can kill a few hundred, but can you kill a few thousand?” Li Hao couldn’t help but curse. “A few thousand? where did a few thousand troops come from?” Aunt Li, Li Yumei, doted on her nephew a lot, so she couldn’t help but ask. “He’s a first – rank Earl and the Vice commander of the team training. We’re openly going against the Imperial court, this is rebellion, do you understand? When the Imperial court’s Army arrives, the Li clan will be annihilated. ” Uncle li Kaiqiu said. “What a joke. The Imperial court is currently at war with the sun nation. I heard that they’ve already attacked the coastal cities. They can’t even take care of themselves, how would they have the time to care about us?” Li Yumei sneered. “Unless the great Chu State is finished, they will definitely settle the score after they have recovered. They definitely won’t sit by and watch a first – Class Earl be killed by us, and there are a few hundred of their personal guards. When that time comes, how can the eggs remain intact when the nest is in full force?” Li Kaiqiu said with a depressed expression. “This is indeed a problem, unless we move overseas after killing them, to a place that doesn’t belong to great Chu.” Taigong Li Kun spoke. “In this world, isn’t it the same everywhere? When the time comes, we’ll have to find a place and move. How can we move with such a big family? Moreover, the two hundred years of hard work we’ve put into building our family’s business on the Black Rock Island will be completely destroyed. ” Li Kaiqiu said. “There’s a big problem. ” Li Hao said. When he saw that everyone was looking at him, he stroked his beard and said,”don’t forget who our enemy in great Chu is. Even if that person was dead, he would still have descendants. Once he killed Tang Wen, the matter would definitely be reported to the Imperial court. At that time, the matter would be blown up. If our enemies find out where we’re hiding, we’ll be in trouble. ” “This ... This ...” Li Jun’s expression changed drastically. He immediately said,”four million taels of silver. We’ll split it with the Lin family, so it’s only two million taels of silver. We’ll just give it to him.” “We can afford two million taels, but what about the rest? Tang Wen has raised the price to one million taels of silver a year. Even if we split it equally with the Lin family, it would still be five hundred thousand taels of silver. ” Li Kaiqiu said. “This is daylight robbery! I can’t give it to you! Our Li family will become the Tang family’s servants and earn money for him every day. ” Li Yumei scolded. “This Island is only worth one million taels of silver if it was sold to someone else. He still dares to say that he’s collecting one million taels of silver a year. This is indeed robbery!” Li Hao said. “Why don’t we buy the island?” Li Kaiqiu said. “If it was in the past, it might have been possible, but now, I don’t think it’s possible.” Li Kun snorted. “Why not? we can discuss it with him.” Li Kaiqiu said. “Discuss my ass! They must be eyeing the iron mine on the island. Otherwise, do you think he’s a fool to spend three million taels to buy a broken island?” Li Kun scolded. “This person must be here for the iron mine.” Li shaotang nodded and said. “But the Black Rock Island is four to five hundred miles away from the mainland, what’s the use of the iron ore? It was not even enough to cover the transportation and labor costs. This is obviously a losing business. Would Tang Wen be that stupid?” Li Hao said. “That’s true. I don’t understand. Could it be that this person has his eyes on the Black Rock Island and not the iron ore?” Li Kaiqiu touched his chin, looking confused. “Could it be that they have their eyes on us?” Li Yumei was shocked. “They have their eyes on us. Could it be that Tang Wen was sent by an enemy?” Li Kaiqiu was also stunned, and his face paled. “There’s an 80% chance! That guy was a member of the enemy. They’ll drive us away first, then we’ll be homeless. If the Chou family takes the opportunity to strike, our Li family will be finished. ” Li Yumei said. “That’s right. If we resist, we’ll be charged with rebellion and be annihilated by the Imperial court.” Li Hao nodded. For a moment, the Li family fell into silence. “Is there any other place to go?” At this moment, the Lin family was also in a meeting, and the content of the conversation was similar. The head of the Lin family, Lin jingru, was also a beautiful woman. He was in his thirties and still not married. “The further islands are a few hundred miles away from us. Besides, we have to start from the beginning again, it’s too difficult. ” The younger brother Lin Liangfei shook his head and said with an ugly expression. “It’s impossible for us to give up our two hundred years of family business!” Great – Uncle Lin Qian said with a gloomy face. “But the territory belongs to them. What can we do if it’s impossible? Will it be of any use to kill them all?” Grandpa Lin Yujing said. “I think we should discuss this with the Li family. I believe that they are also discussing countermeasures now. It’s not the time to fight. We have to stand united against the outside world. ” Lin Liangfei said. “That’s the only way. Liangfei, send a message to the Li family and ask them where to meet. ” Lin jingru nodded. “I’ll get it done immediately. ” Lin Liangfei nodded and left in a hurry. Sigh ... At this moment, two groups of people rushed into Black Rock temple. The abbot, Master Kong Ming, saw this and quickly welcomed the two groups of people into the temple. This was because these two groups of people were the benefactors of Black Rock temple. This temple was built with money donated by the Li and Lin families. The two families fought endlessly, but they would always choose the Black Rock temple when they were discussing important matters. Therefore, the Black Rock temple even built a conference room for the two families to discuss important matters. “Master Lin, I’m sure you’re aware of what happened to Tang Wen. Both our families have been forced into a dead end.” Li shaotang said after taking a sip of tea. “Although our two families have been fighting for hundreds of years, this matter is too big. Our opponent is too strong. We have to bury the hatchet and deal with it together!” Lin jingru, the master of the Lin family, nodded. “According to what he said, we have to first pay two million taels of head tax. In the future, they would have to pay 500000 taels of rent each year. This was only the rent. The government will still collect a head tax, which will add up to a considerable amount. ” Li Hao said. “If we can calculate it according to the previous amount, we can still barely deal with it. However, he’s being extorted by this much. It’s not rent. ” Lin jingru said with a cold face. “I think he’s just trying to drive us away. He’s after the iron mine on the Black Rock Island.” Lin Liangfei said angrily. “Iron ore, I don’t think so. We all know that Black Rock Island is too far away from the mainland. It’s almost 500 miles away from Jiang Zhou. It’s not enough for the transportation and labor costs. He’s not that stupid. ” Li Hao shook his head. “Then why did he come here? the Black Rock Island is not a blessed land for cultivation. How much is the cultivation of the land worth? Was it necessary to say that the Tang family had moved in? He was a first – rank Earl and the Vice – envoy of the Linghai training group. That’s impossible. ” Li Liangfei asked. “That’s not necessarily true. The sun nation’s war has already spread to the coastal cities of the ridge sea. It was said that they had basically conquered all the islands along the coast. In the West, the great Chu was at war with the great Qin, while in the North, the great Yan, the great Qi, and other countries were eyeing them covetously. Under the siege of these few countries, it was estimated that the country would be destroyed. Once the country was destroyed, these islands would become a place to avoid chaos. The Tang family might move here, so they want to drive us away. ” Lin jingru said. “I think it makes sense. Look, he even brought dozens of cannons. It seems like he’s going to be stationed here for a long time.” Li Yumei said. “If that’s the Tang family’s purpose, then we must move. Otherwise, he’ll increase the rent at any time until we can’t afford it. ” Li shaotang said. “The Black Rock Island has a radius of about a hundred miles. How many people can the Tang family have on such a large island? They won’t be able to finish living there, so why are they chasing us away? I think he’s just trying to enslave us. ” Li Hao said. “Enslave? are you trying to turn us into the Tang family’s servants?” Li Yumei asked, startled. “I think it’s possible. When the Tang family moves over, they’ll also need manpower to open up the fields. If he were to open an iron – making workshop, he would also need manpower. At that time, we’ll become the Tang family’s servants. ” Lin Qian touched his chin and said. “He’s dreaming! Once great Chu is destroyed, what’s the point of this Lord Jue’s Regiment? we’ll just have to make our move and destroy them. ” Li Jun sneered. “That’s a good thing. If great Chu is destroyed, then so be it. This Island will really become the property of our families. However, I’m afraid great Chu can’t be destroyed. ” Lin jingru snorted. “The great Chu has been established for almost a thousand years, it will not be easy to destroy it. Of course, it would be better if they died. However, we still have to be prepared that we won’t die. ” Li Kun said. “If we resist by force, for example, by killing them. At that time, even if great Chu doesn’t perish, when the Imperial court’s Army comes, both our families will be annihilated. ” Li Yumei said. “Although our two clans are strong, it’s impossible for us to go against great Chu. Even the six Fan School can destroy us, let alone the Imperial court’s Army. ” Lin jingru nodded. “It’s definitely impossible to exterminate them. We can only demonstrate our strength!” Li Kun said. “A demonstration! That definitely had to be carried out. We have to at least make Tang Wen afraid of us. We have to let the Tang family see that if you force him too much, we’ll be at war. When the time comes, we’ll exterminate them, and your Tang family will be exterminated as well. ” Lin jingru snorted. “It’s decided then. Let’s discuss it first. If Tang Wen insists on refusing, we’ll show off! I’d like to see what Tang Wen has. ” Li Yumei said. “Hehe, what could he have? He was just an Earl. Moreover, Tang Wen looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. Even if he had a few guards, they wouldn’t be very skilled. He’s just using the Imperial court to suppress us. In terms of personal strength, what ability does he have?” Li Jun said with contempt. “Of course, the Tang family itself is nothing to be afraid of. There’s no need for us to panic. With the strength of our two families, even the ten ocean Saints sects would have to be wary of us. Because we’re the hosts. ” Li shaotang said. “When the time comes, senior li and my great uncle will join hands to demonstrate their power.” Lin jingru said. “Sure!” Li Kun stroked his beard and nodded. “I’m afraid that if you two seniors attack, he’ll wet his pants. ” Li Jun laughed. “It’s normal for him to pee his pants. Who asked him to come and provoke us?” Lin Liangfei said with a look of disdain. ……
