What is it like to start as Tiandao?

Chapter 187 I’m afraid I’ll be disappointed again

"Why is my uncle here?" Xiao Tingxuan asked curiously. Seeing that the Li family was well prepared, it seemed that they were going on a long journey.

"Your Highness, I was ordered by the old man to follow you to the south to be a vassal."

Li Nanchun said the purpose. They were waiting here just to wait for Xiao Tingxuan.

The things prepared on the carriage were the materials they needed on the way to the vassal.

These things were enough to support them to reach Sanhe.

It must be said that the Li family was very sensible. They knew that Xiao Tingxuan was very poor and sent so many things to Xiao Tingxuan.

At the same time, the Li family was also courageous. Xiao Tingxuan had come to this point, and the Li family still dared to invest in him. Aren't they afraid of losing all their money?

Xiao Tingxuan also understood the Li family's meaning. Even if he had a system now, he was still seriously short of people in the early stage.

The Li family could take the initiative to invest, and Xiao Tingxuan would not refuse. He accepted it.

Xiao Tingxuan nodded slightly and asked about his well-being.

"Is Grandpa in good health recently?"

Li Nanchun quickly replied: "The old man is also a martial artist, and he is in good health. Your Highness does not need to worry."

"That's good. I'm sorry to trouble you all along the way."

"Your Highness, you are welcome."

After talking for a while, everyone continued their journey.

After walking for two days, Xiao Tingxuan's vassalage team was about to leave the capital of Da Zhou.

It was at this time that Li Nanchun suddenly stopped the team.

Seeing Li Nanchun stop the team, Li Yifan hurriedly walked up and asked: "Uncle San, what's wrong?"

Li Nanchun frowned and said: "The situation is not right, pay attention to alert, there may be an ambush here."

As an old man, Li Nanchun is much more sensitive than Li Yifan in his sense of smell. When he saw that the atmosphere here was not right, he knew that something might happen.

Li Yifan did not question Li Nanchun's words, and immediately passed on the order to be alert.

At this time, Xiao Tingxuan also walked out of the carriage and looked around.

At this time, hundreds of people dressed like bandits emerged from the surrounding bushes.

Among these bandits, there were all mighty and majestic men, waving machetes in their hands. Just by looking at this momentum, people could feel their hearts tremble.

Most of the people who joined Xiao Tingxuan's guards were ordinary people. They had never seen such a scene before, and they were all scared pale.

Fortunately, there was a group of people from the Li family in front, and the two sides did not initiate a conflict for the time being, and no one ran away.

Li Nanchun walked up and asked the leader of the other side: "May I ask who you are?"

"Hand over 100,000 taels of silver, and I will let you go today, otherwise, you will all die here today."

The leader of the other side ignored Li Nanchun at all and directly stated his request.

After hearing the other party's words, Li Nanchun frowned. The other party asked for 100,000 taels of silver as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was afraid that he was not here with good intentions.

Moreover, Li Nanchun also saw that the other party looked like a bandit in his dress. Except for his appearance, he didn't look like a bandit at all. He looked more like a soldier.

This leader was even more unusual, with a third-grade cultivation.

Li Nanchun had never met a third-grade bandit leader before.

With this strength, why not do anything else? Why did he have to be a bandit king?

Thinking of this, Li Nanchun guessed that someone wanted to kill Xiao Tingxuan.

To kill Xiao Tingxuan, and knowing the specific route and itinerary, it must be someone in Beijing, and the princes were the most suspicious.

"We don't have that much money on us, only 10,000 taels. Can you make some concessions?"

Li Nanchun decided to spend money to avoid disaster, and it depends on whether the other party will accept it.

They can still get 10,000 taels, but 100,000 taels is too much, and they can't take it out.

Although the other party has fewer people than them, the gap in strength between the two sides is too big. If they continue to fight, they will definitely lose.

"Don't talk nonsense, one hundred thousand taels, not a cent less, otherwise leave it all here."

The other party did not give any room for negotiation, and insisted on one hundred thousand taels.

For this, Li Nanchun frowned again. He was now completely sure that the other party was not asking for money, but was coming for Xiao Tingxuan.

"The carriage is the ninth son of the current emperor. Now he has been named the Prince of Su and is going to the fiefdom. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will investigate you by doing this?"

At this point, there is nothing to hide from the other party. The other party dared to do this, and must have known Xiao Tingxuan's identity long ago.

The reason why Li Nanchun still said this is to warn the other party that if the emperor investigates, can they bear it?

No matter who you are, if you dare to murder the prince, this is a serious crime of killing nine clans.

"Haha, I don't care if you are a prince or not, I only recognize money, one hundred thousand taels, not a cent less, otherwise the king of heaven will come."

The other party was not threatened by Li Nanchun, and he wanted Li Nanchun not to give it now.

As long as Li Nanchun said no, he would immediately command his brothers to kill the crowd.

Seeing that the other party was determined to kill them, Li Nanchun's face was extremely heavy.

He knew very well that once he said no, the other party would attack without hesitation.

"Let me learn from your tricks."

Just when Li Nanchun was unable to make a decision, Li Yifan stood up and pointed the sword in his hand at the leader of the other party.

The reason why Li Yifan stood up was because he received a message from Mu Fei, who asked him to fight with the other party.

A fourth-grade fighting a third-grade, was Mu Fei asking Li Yifan to die?

A normal person would definitely not agree, but Li Yifan stood up without hesitation.

What if a fourth-rank person fights a third-rank person? He is not afraid of the sword in his hand.

Besides, Li Yifan believes that Mu Fei will not lie to him. On the contrary, he is full of confidence.

"Yifan, retreat quickly!"

Li Nanchun saw Li Yifan taking the initiative to provoke the other party, and frowned. A fourth-rank person challenged a third-rank person. Isn't this looking for death?

Li Nanchun ordered Li Yifan to retreat quickly.

"Uncle, it's okay, let him try."

Before Li Yifan opened his mouth to answer, Xiao Tingxuan spoke for him.

To be honest, from the moment this group of bandits appeared, only they were panicking. Xiao Tingxuan and Li Yifan were not panicking at all.

Just kidding, there is still a trump card behind him. It is simply a fantasy that a third-rank person wants to hurt him.

From the conversation between Li Nanchun and the other party, Xiao Tingxuan understood that someone in the capital wanted to take his life.

Who wanted to take his life?

Xiao Tingxuan thought about it and his brothers were the most suspicious.

From the previous point of view, the fifth brother is unlikely, because I was in the same camp with him before. Although I cheated him some time ago, I would not hire someone to kill him.

The prince is also unlikely, after all, I helped the prince unintentionally, and the prince also gave him a gift.

So, this matter is unlikely to be related to the prince.

Then the second brother Xiao Jiyun is left.

There is only Xiao Jiyun. In this matter in Kyoto, Xiao Jiyun originally benefited the most, but ended up losing the most.

Xiao Jiyun must hate Xiao Tingxuan in his heart, and it is reasonable for him to find someone to kill Xiao Tingxuan.

But this time, I am afraid that Xiao Jiyun will be disappointed again.
