Throne Steps

As far as business matters are concerned, Lichen actually doesn't need to discuss too much with Amoya.After all, in this respect, Li Chen didn't have to do everything himself, and this matter had already started half a month ago.The former archer Fu Dexi had a clear mind and acted decisively, and he was still very decent in terms of flow management. Li Chen didn't intend to ask in-depth questions.

So after roughly exchanging their recent willingness to cooperate, the two finally brought the topic to another direction.

"About the information you sent, I have already read it." Li Chen leaned forward and picked up the teapot to pour water into two teacups, "Although it is a bit embarrassing to say it--but I think since you are here, you are doing well for it." Mentally prepared - I need a more detailed description."

"Shouldn't I come here to ask for some benefits?" Amoya put on a wry smile, and he was very philistine when he made this expression, "I'm just a businessman, not the leader of any intelligence organization. "

"Businessmen also have business intelligence." If Li Chen really didn't know what the businessman could do, he would have lost to his adoptive father Xinlik in his previous life.He picked up Amoya's teacup and handed it to the other party: "It's just that we also want business intelligence."

"But this is information from ten years ago." Amoya sighed softly, and finally raised his hand to take the cup, "Once Lawrence dies, the glory of his entire family will no longer exist, and even the entire city will be mediocre for a while. Such a flash in the pan family, it is difficult for people to have the patience to preserve information.”

Both inside and outside the words are rejections, but the action of taking the teacup represents Amoya's compromise on this matter.Li Chen smiled slightly, and regardless of Amoyana's slightly complaining "complaint", he stood up and turned to the other side of the desk.

"If the family that sits firmly as the president of the Chamber of Commerce does not keep this information, I am afraid that few people will keep the business newspaper about Lawrence." Li Chen took out a twice-folded paper from the drawer and returned to the sofa. Handed it to Amoya, "These people mentioned in your information, please check them too."

Amoya took the paper and opened it, glanced at it, then closed it and stuffed it into the inner pocket of the skirt.Although the names of these people appeared in Lawrence's information before, they never left a deep impression in Amoya's memory: "It seems that none of them are people who are in the limelight now."

"Good memory." Li Chen smiled, stooped to pick up the teapot and shook it, "Be careful when checking, don't make people miss you."

"Huh?" Amoya looked at Lichen suspiciously, "Isn't this a matter of course?"

Li Chen walked a few steps towards the door and handed the kettle to Akeye who had been silent all this time, but he responded to the eldest son of the Chamber of Commerce: "These people have one thing in common. When you find out, you will understand what I mean mean."

Amoya smiled indifferently and said, "Is this worth keeping an eye on?"

When you find out that all these people have died within a few years, you will know whether it is worth it.Li Chen replied silently from the bottom of his heart, but when he turned his head, there was only a mysterious smile on his face.Akeye turned around and left the study with the kettle in hand, and the door closed behind Li Chen.Although Akye was always silent when he was on the court, the big man just went out like this, which still caused some visual differences.Amoya waited for a while, seeing that Li Chen walked back to the single chair without saying a word and sat down, finally raised his eyebrows slightly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

As soon as Li Chen sat down, he raised his eyes when he heard the question: "Huh?"

"Get him out on purpose..." Amoya glanced at the door, "Isn't there something he can't listen to?"

Li Chen laughed, "You think too much."

Amoya didn't admit his mistake, but just smiled: "Really? I thought you told him to go out because you had an important secret to share with me."

Li Chen lowered his eyes and smiled: "For now, I don't mean it, it depends on whether you have it."

Amoya asked back: "Me?"

Li Chen didn't answer anymore, just raised his eyelids and gave Amoya a meaningful look.Originally, the eldest son of the chamber of commerce did not take the initiative to make an appointment with Black Swan, but now it is only Li Chen's unilateral request to meet him.If Amoya just came to confirm Li Chen's real identity in person when he was bored, it can only be said that the competition for the successor of the chamber of commerce is not too fierce.

Amoya looked at Li Chen's look of "We're just exhausting anyway, it's not my business", he was silent for a while, and finally showed a helpless smile: "Well, I am indeed busy. But to be honest, On the way here, I still thought it was reasonable, but now I feel a little whimsical."

Li Chen didn't pick up the conversation, just laughed and said: "Why, have you been washed out of your conscience by the atmosphere of our temple?"

Amoya replied: "I am a faithful believer."

"Then Mr. Faithful Believer, may I ask why you came here?"

Amoya was silent for a while, and then put on a more serious expression: "That one...is he planning to intervene in the southwest border?"

Li Chen maintained the previous posture, looked at Amoya for a few seconds, and then slowly hooked the corners of his mouth: "...Want to make war fortune?"

Amoya has thoroughly learned Li Chen's brain circuit.He originally planned to ask about the intention of His Highness the Third Highness Sarnlich, and slowly lead Li Chen's thinking to war preparations, before finally throwing out his ultimate goal - the military supply transaction.Ke Lichen just listened to the first question and calculated the result directly.

After being exposed so nakedly, Amoya couldn't refute, so he could only acquiesce with a shy face.

Seeing that he really didn't refute, Li Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Your whimsy is more than 'kind of'."

Amoya thought for a while, and replied: "Anyway, someone has to do this business."

The heir candidate of the chamber of commerce is so frank, Li Chen appreciates his courage.How to balance the color of navy blue and the color of rose to attack Soyang on the other side of Fujalal has not yet been determined, but Amoya has already bet the decision maker of this battle on Saenz, and quickly came to find him Lu Zi...the stage is as big as the heart.

According to the current actual situation, Saenz has not really shown signs of competing for the dominance of Suoyang's affairs, and Li Chen dare not say that he will definitely be able to get in his mouth when preparing for the war.But Amoya's move reminded Li Chen that Rose dared to use war to force military orders, why couldn't he himself use war preparations to force wars?If Saenz fully realizes that he already has the strength to win this battle, maybe he can make a big move again, and he no longer needs to be as cautious as he is now.

Caution is certainly a good thing, but right now it is a situation of mutual stalemate, all parties are working at every step, and there are countless people who are behind the plan.If the scheduled pace of all parties can be disrupted abruptly, it may be of great benefit to the future battle for the Patriarch.

And the source of all this - Li Chen himself - must be more stable in Saenz's power.Not to mention the previous credits such as "clearing up the lone wolf", "assisting intelligence", and "assisting the temple". His mainstay.

After all, you still have to make yourself more powerful...

Amoya didn't know that a bold proposal of his own had made Li Chen's thinking go as far as going around the temple three times.Seeing that Li Chen's silence should not be tolerated, he secretly thought that his thoughts were too aggressive, and then explained: "Anyway, we are just making conscious preparations now..."

Li Chen interrupted him: "Based on your situation, will you be able to undertake the entire business by then?"

Amoya was taken aback.

"If you want me to say, instead of coming to me so recklessly, it's better to write a comprehensive plan at home first, and have fun by recruiting cats, teasing dogs, and fighting in the house." Li Chen smiled, and put his thumb on the first curved index finger Rubbing slowly on the two knuckles, "After all, it's still very different at that point now. We just talked about it here and there, it seems like a dream."

When Amoya heard the first half, he thought Li Chen was urging him to prepare quickly, but after listening to the second half, he felt like the other party was mocking him for his lack of strength.He really didn't understand what this repetitive attitude meant, so he could only smile frankly: "After all, this is a major matter that cannot be rushed. Am I here to sound out the word first, before I can make the next move?"

"Speaking? To me?" Li Chen's expression seemed to be a joke, "You don't even have the power of the Chamber of Commerce, so I have the right to worry about the floor of the temple. We two 'outsiders' are sitting face to face here, Is the direction of your investigation too ridiculous?"

The last sentence is still guessing military supplies, and the next sentence is to turn around and pretend to be stupid. Amoya no longer followed Li Chen's words, but continued along his own main line: "Although the main line of the Rose Color Territory is not in my hands right now. , but I have been working hard on the business in the south for several years. I start preparations now, and I may not be able to catch up with next year's spring offensive."

next spring?The wrangling between Rose and Navy Blue may not be able to tell when it will end. Even Fujalal, who clearly has the upper hand, may not be able to catch up with the spring offensive.Although Amoya is smart, he lacks information from the power center, and occasionally makes mistakes in his judgment.However, the border city of Suoyang is only a small place—compared to the whole of Retia—it is not worth using a bull's knife to kill a chicken.Amoya's estimated spring offensive has been more than a year since the Southwest Garrison's first test, which can be regarded as Amoya's rather cautious performance.

The bad thing is that the eldest son of the chamber of commerce is not clear about it. What really delays the time is not the preparation of military supplies, but the checks and balances in the royal court.The color of rose and the color of navy blue are very strong, and anyone else who makes a rash move will easily get burned.

Li Chen is clear, but he doesn't intend to mention Amoya, at least not now.He crossed his hands on his lap and threw out a "famous aphorism" from Saenz: "Don't talk, don't act."

Amoya was stunned, and then smacked the taste of this sentence - this matter is a bit early, but it is still fermenting... Is it?

"Okay, then I will emphasize it again at the end." Amoya smiled, "The net I cast in the south, although the silk thread is not thick enough, but in time, I can still get all the supplies without anyone noticing..."

Li Chen glanced at him with a half-smile.

Amoya finally ended the sentence neatly: "Wait for the good news."
