Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

At sunset, two figures walked side by side on the quiet island. At this time, there were no traces of the past here at all. It looked like a small island for hiding from the world, quiet and peaceful.

"At first, I thought that some adjustments were needed, but now it seems that there is no need." Li Xu said looking at this beauty.

"The rest of the guards on the island are temporarily imprisoned, how to deal with this part?"

"Take them all away, don't let them pollute this small island, and there should be scattered pirate gangs in this sea, let's find time to solve them together, at least those who knew this place before, there is no need to stay gone."

Kou Xiao nodded, looked at the guards who were far behind, and held Li Xu's hand with his wide sleeves. The two were like an ordinary couple, walking on a quiet path.

Li Xu glanced at him and did not refuse. They walked to the mine and saw the people who were still digging in full swing. Li Xu paid special attention to their mental state and found that there was no reluctance. The change of leadership didn't seem to affect them much.

"Maybe I was wrong, this island is not peaceful, but numb." Li Xu turned to Kou Xiao and said.

Kou Xiao doesn't understand what he cares about. In his opinion, the biggest victory is that the people on this island are no different from before. As for tranquility or numbness, it has nothing to do with him. "Did you see that the islanders Riots are justified?"

Li Xu was stopped by his question, and laughed for a long time, "Yes, that's good, it's not easy to be alive."

They continued to walk in, but were soon stopped by a middle-aged man, who said with a straight face, "Master Lu, this is not a place for you."

"Boss Jin, let's just take a look."

"Please go to another place to visit."

"Okay." Kou Xiao winked at Li Xu, then grabbed his arm and jumped up suddenly, passing Guanshi Jin and running up the mountain.

"Quick, stop them!" Guanshi Jin shouted to the surroundings.

The guards here are Kou's army, so they can recognize their general, so no one took Guanshi Jin's words seriously, and continued to stand guard with a blank expression.

Guanshi Jin twitched his cheeks, and had no choice but to act as if he hadn't seen the two mixed-in humans. He suddenly lost interest and went into his room with his hands in his hands.

Li Xu and the others ran all the way to the halfway up the mountain, carefully avoiding the place where the work was going on, for fear that the mine would be trampled down by accident.

"That's Guanshi Jin?"

"It's him."

"It looks like a very smart person."

"Without my intervention, I doubt he would have had the last laugh."

"Is that so..." Li Xu pondered for a while, then laughed: "Then take him with you when you leave, such a talent should give him a wider sky."

Kou Xiao reminded: "He will be on this island, maybe he is also a fugitive, do you dare to use it?"

"As long as you don't commit a capital crime, there should be a time limit for exile. Let's take a look before it's too late." They ran around the mine. There was nothing to see on the mountain, just bare stones. It was hard to imagine that such an ordinary There is gold hidden in the stone mountain.

That night, Li Xu met with Guanshi Jin. The latter didn't know his identity. The person who sent the message only said that he was a civil servant sent by the county guard to take over Shelter Island.

Li Xu's temperament is hard to conceal, even if he just sits there quietly, he is different from the vulgar Kou Jiajun. Guanshi silently looked at him, then bent down and bowed, "See my lord, I don't know what advice you can give me when I summon you ?”

"Please sit down." Li Xu asked someone to pour him a cup of tea, and asked straight to the point: "Where is Guanshi Jin's hometown? What crime did he end up on this island?"

Jin Rongshun was not surprised that the other party asked this question, since he was not killed, he must be used, so it is necessary to understand his past.

He didn't hide anything, he explained his background clearly and cooperated very well, causing Li Xu to nod secretly.

After he finished speaking, Li Xu tentatively said: "You are obviously someone who is trusted by the island owner to be in charge of the mine on the island. Are you not sad at all when he dies?"

Jin Rongshun laughed at himself, "For people like me, the family is broken, the family is broken, the wives are separated, and there are many sad things. The trivial matter of changing the island owner is not worth being sad."

"In this way, I won't dare to use you in the future. People who don't have a heart may betray the old master at any time."

Jin Rongshun looked down at the brown tea. The tea was not from the island, but brought by the young man himself. Such a person must have a high official position in South Vietnam, but he is so young, who could it be?

The island is always paying attention to the movements of Nanyue. Of course he knows the high-level list of Nanyue. Only King Shun and the newly appointed Lord Chancellor are the only ones who are of the right age. Will it be the former?

Jin Rongshun was taken aback, put away his previous indifference and numbness, and replied seriously: "It depends on what kind of situation you encounter, a person who knows the current affairs is a hero, if one day the enemy tortures and extracts a confession, I will definitely not be able to keep it Secret."

This is the first time Li Xu has seen such a straightforward person since he was reborn. Most people would show loyalty in front of the leader even if they couldn't hold back, but he was the only one who was sincere.

"If one day you fall into such a predicament, it will be because the master is incompetent. No wonder you, are you willing to come out of the island with me?"

Without hesitation, Jin Rongshun got up and knelt down, bowed his head in admiration, "Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation!"

Li Xu helped him up, with a smile all over his face, he shouted: "Come here, exchange tea and serve wine!"

Li Xu asked Guanshi Jin many things, Kou Xiao and the others only knew to ask some important things, but Li Xu asked very comprehensive questions, including what would the people on the island grow, would they weave?Who would he communicate with, how would he communicate with other pirates, and so on, all the questions were very detailed.

Guanshi Jin knows everything, he is the old island owner's confidant, he knows a lot, even the old island owner has a private treasure house, he knows, and he took Li Xu and Kou Xiao to open the treasure house the next day. The treasury is really gold and silver, and the box is full of jewels. These things alone are enough for them to pay for this war.

"It's no wonder that people in the past liked to suppress bandits. It really is a huge profit." Li Xu thought that Kou's army used to rely on suppressing bandits for a living, and immediately felt a resonance.

Kou Xiao rummaged through the treasure chests, and smiled at Li Xu: "No wonder Qin Zuxin's proposal to go find the treasure is not interested in Wudao Master. How can there be a bigger treasure than this in the sea?"

He saw a pair of soft armor made of gold silk, invulnerable to swords and guns, and immediately fell in love with it. He immediately gave it to Li Xu to put it on. He also found a dagger, which was extremely sharp, and gave it to Li Xu, "Yes. With these two things, the prince's safety is somewhat guaranteed."

Li Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Kou Xiao was so worried about his safety, he was not moved when he saw Jinshan Yinshan, so he just stared at these two things, but he was really moved in his heart.

Guanshi Jin turned his probing eyes around the two of them, and then glanced at the masked man who had been guarding the entrance without moving. He secretly had a guess in his heart. They had always thought that these two seemed to be in harmony with each other, and that they were at odds with each other. When Wu Shao island master sent troops, he thought of a few tricks to divorce, but it probably didn't work in the end. The relationship between these two people is like brothers.

Oh no, the brothers of the emperor's family are born enemies, so there must be no comparison.

"This treasure house has been accumulated by the island owner over the years. Almost all the chief executives on the island know that there is such a place. Most of the competition for the position of island owner is for this treasure house."

Li Xu looked at him and said, "Why Guanshi Jin gave up this treasure house, we don't know unless you tell us."

Guanshi Jin lowered his head and bowed slightly, "What I'm looking for is not these gold and silver things. I've been on the island for so many years, and I'm tired of seeing Jinshan."

Li Xu nodded his head as he believed his words, and said, "There are too many things, I have to find someone to count and carry them."

Kou Xiao played another pair of emerald chess pieces. The board is made of white jade. The pieces are natural green and red. They are very beautiful. One piece is enough to be a treasure, but here is a whole set.

Seeing a trace of seriousness flashing across this face, Guanshi Jin opened his mouth to say something but was concerned about Kou Xiao's identity and didn't say anything.

It was only today that he found out Kou Xiao's true identity, and it was no surprise. He even figured out the real reason for the failure of Shelter Island, and guessed that the death of the old island owner was probably not accidental but man-made.

But the matter has come to this point, it is meaningless for him to investigate the cause of death of the old island owner, but he has a new understanding of Kou Xiao.

After arranging the transportation, Li Xu took him into his residence, closed the door and asked, "Tell me, what did you want to tell me just now?"

"My lord, do you know the true identity of the island master?"

"A little guesswork."

"Huh?" Guanshi Jin didn't expect him to know. It's not easy to call this King Shun directly. He said: "The owner of Wudao was originally surnamed Zhao, and he was a branch of the Zhao family in the capital. His branch broke with the Zhao family very early. He moved to the south, and later committed a crime and the whole family was exiled. Only the owner of Wudao survived. A few years ago, when the Zhao family had not recovered, the two sides had no contact at all. After sending the letter, at that time, Island Master Wu just wanted to know the news about Dayan through multiple channels, he fed the Zhao family with gold and silver, solved a few troublesome problems for the Zhao family, and the two sides established contact."

"Why do you know such details? Master Wu even told you this kind of thing?"

Guanshi Jin shook his head, "I didn't tell you about these things, but I found them out, but he didn't shy away from his relationship with the capital, it's just that no one else knows which one it is. I will know, yes Because I saw that he received the emerald chess pieces from the capital, and by chance, I knew that these pieces had ended up in Zhao’s house, so after careful investigation, it would not be difficult to find out the result.”

"So, last year's pirate assassination of the king was indeed done by the island master."

Manager Jin thought about it seriously, and asked unexpectedly: "But last year's big event?"

"Yes, you know?"

"I only know that Xu Chang came a few times during those days, and later took people ashore. It was a routine robbery on the surface, but I overheard him telling people that if this transaction can be completed, the island owner will allow them. People went to the island to assassinate an unfavored prince, and there were people to assist them, and if they failed, they would not implicate him, so Xu Chang took people there without hesitation."

"What about after the fact?"

"There is no aftermath, pirates, once they land on the shore, they may be wiped out by Kou's army at any time. The Xuchang gang didn't come back, and everyone knows the result. No one will care about their life or death."

Li Xu nodded and stopped talking about this matter, but the relationship between Master Wu and the Zhao family has attracted him. The Zhao family has been promoted very quickly in the past few years. Everyone thought it was because Mrs. Zhao was favored. However, based on his understanding of the old emperor, he was not a person who was blinded by lust. The Zhao family must have put in a lot of hard work to be promoted, and there must be gold and silver to open the way.
