I Am The Landlord In Another World Novel - Chapter 49

49 The centurion (1)

“That person didn’t say anything. He said that Constable yang recommended him to see you, and that he wanted to talk to you in detail when he saw you.” Li Quan said, shaking his head. Therefore, Tang Wen went straight into the living room. He discovered that there was a man in his thirties sitting in the hall. He was dressed in a light green robe and had a round face. However, he gave off a dignified feeling when he sat on the chair, as if he was a person who had been in the officialdom all year round. “Lord Jue!” As soon as he saw Tang Wen come in, the man was slightly stunned. He stood up and cupped his fists in greeting. “May I know your name?”

Tang Wen nodded and asked. “I’m Li Liao, Yang Yun’s classmate and good friend. We passed the Wu Jin Shi examination together. This is the letter he wrote. Take a look first. ” Li Liao said as he took out a letter and handed it over. Tang Wen took the letter and tore it open to read. Your Excellency the Earl, Hello! Li Liao is a good friend of mine from Haisheng city. We were schoolmates, and he was Wu Jintu of the same year. One year, we encountered bandits. We fought side by side and killed eighteen of them. That year, we became sworn brothers.

However, after he became a scholar, he went to the Yuzhou Prefecture and was promoted to the position of Baihu in the Yuzhou Garrison. He was a rank 6 official and was more outstanding than me. Unfortunately, the year before last, he had offended the Yu province’s governor, Chen wangde, and was framed. He was fired, his property was confiscated, and he was even locked up for half a year. It’s not convenient for you to come to me after you get out of prison. Therefore, he would send a letter of recommendation to see if he could earn a living under the Earl. This person was an upright person. Last year, he had offended Chen wangde because of a woman who sold her art but not her body, song Yuanyuan. Chen wangde took a fancy to that woman, but Chen Yuanyuan refused to give in no matter what. My younger brother saved her and caused today’s situation. Of course, if Lord Jue were to take him in, it would be a risk. After all, Chen wangde hates him to the bone. He left Yu Zhou to prevent Chen wangde from taking revenge on him, so he transferred to our Ling hai. Although they belong to different provinces, but the collusion between officials, Lord Jue, please consider carefully before making a decision.

However, Li Liao’s martial arts are even better than mine. The title lacked a commander who could lead the personal guards, so he was suitable. Please think about it carefully before making a decision, so as to not cause you and I brothers to be unhappy. After reading the letter, Tang Wen gently put it on the table and said,”Lord li, please sit.” “I’m no longer a Baihu of Yuzhou. Lord Jue, please call me Li Liao. ” Li Liao said. “Brother li, please sit.” Tang Wen said again. “My Lord, please tell me if it’s okay or not. If it’s not, I’ll turn around and leave.” Li Liao said. “Do you have a family?” Tang Wen asked. He opened his human qi eyes and glanced at the human qi on Li Liao’s head, only to find that it was rising straight up into the sky. Tang Wen could even feel a trace of disdain from his popularity. It seemed that this person was looking down on him. After all, he was once a rank six official Baihu and had thousands of soldiers under his command. “There are! My wife, my children, and my subordinates, a total of 36 people. My men are all quite skilled and have been to the battlefield to kill enemies. ” Li Liao said with a nod. “Where are they now?” Tang Wen asked. “He came with me. He’s just outside.” Li Liao said. “Li Quan, please invite them in!” Tang Wen said. “I’ll go,” Li Liao said as he walked out of the door. Not long after, he brought in a group of people. “My father is Li Xian, my mother is Wei Ying, my wife is Zhang Qin, my eldest son is Li Hui, my second daughter is Li Xia, and my third son is Li Tao. This is song Yuanyuan, the woman I saved from the piano workshop. She’s sixteen this year, so my wife took her in as an adopted daughter. The remaining one is Wei Guang, the former director of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Yu Province Garrison, my wife’s younger brother. This is the director of the Foreign Affairs Department, Chen Guang … My subordinates are all at least at the ninth or eighth stage. They were all implicated because of me and were willing to follow my brothers. ” Li Liao introduced them one by one. “Song Yuanyuan, you’re very brave.” Tang Wen said. “Thank you for your praise, Lord Jue. Roly Poly is flattered.” Song Yuanyuan gracefully knelt down and greeted. “Well, you’re all good. However, you’ll have to sell your body to my Tang family. ” Tang Wen nodded. “Selling my body?” Hearing this, Li Liao and his family all frowned. “This is master’s rule. Everyone here has entered the Tang family. However, old master Tang was very good to his servants. They gave us Food, clothes, pocket money, and we were even given a room each. ” Li Quan said. “Lord Jue, we don’t want too much of the salary. We can join your personal guards and help you with your work.” Li Liao said. “Good! Let’s not talk about selling her body for now. Work for me first. Ten days later, if you think it’s not worth selling your bodies, you can leave. At that time, I’ll give each of you ten taels of silver and two buckets of rice. I’ll also send a carriage to send you out of the island. ” Tang Wen said to Li Quan,”give them a few rooms. Take them to take a bath first. After they’ve settled down, they can have lunch with us.” “Lord Jue, you don’t have to waste your time. We can’t sell ourselves! We won’t trouble you any further, we’ll leave now. ” Li Liao said with a cold face. “You’ll definitely regret it if you leave. ” Tang Wen said. “Regret? hehe, the world is so big, is there really no place for me, Li Liao? With my martial arts, I can make a living anywhere. ” Li Liao sneered. “The world is big, but I only have one. Brother li, don’t talk big. Come with me first and then decide if you want to stay for ten days. ” Tang Wen smiled. “Then I’d like to see what you have to make me stay, Lord Jue.” Li Liao’s temper was also ignited as he snorted. “Let’s go to the toilet first, wash our faces, and then walk around. ” “Let’s go,” Tang Wen said. Zhan dongwen and Li Quan acted as guides and showed them around. “Your toilets are really not bad.” After coming out, Li Liao sighed. “The toilet is still fragrant, it’s a world wonder.” Wei Guang nodded. “It’s very convenient to use water. That mechanism called the tap is really useful. Water comes out with a twist, and it’s turned off again. The water is clear and tastes good. ” His wife, Zhang Qin, said. However, when Li Liao and the others saw the huge stone and sand crushing machine roaring, they were stunned. Huge rocks were poured into the conveyor belt by the truck. After being crushed, the gravel of similar sizes and fine sand were sent out by the conveyor belt. Everyone was shocked. “This mechanism is too powerful. It can even shatter rocks.” “If a person is thrown in. I’m afraid he’ll be turned into a pile of flesh and blood immediately. ” “What are you going to do with these rocks and sand?”   Li Liao’s subordinates started discussing. When they arrived at the Crouching Dragon Lake, everyone was stunned by the Grand scene.

“Father, look! That Iron Horse is too awesome! Such a big stone rolled down the moment it was dug.” “And that one. Look, it can lift a rock that weighs more than ten thousand Jin.” “These iron wires are made into a net and some mud is poured on it …” “Father, I also saw something called an electric lamp. It lit up when you pressed it, and then it went out when you pressed it again. It’s much better than candles. It’s so bright.”   . In any case, Li Liao and his group were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, endlessly curious and amazed. “Lord Jue, I heard that your iron horses and iron Bulls were all shipped back from the West?” Li Liao asked. “Of course.” Tang Wen nodded and then looked at Li Liao’s human qi. He found that it was no longer straight, but slightly shaking. Tang Wen felt a trace of surprise in Li Liao’s anger. This meant that Li Liao’s attitude had changed a little. It was good that there were changes. This person had the possibility ofwinning. “Lord Jue is a man of great ability, this li admires you.” Li Liao cupped his fists. “This is just the beginning. In the future, there will be even more strange mechanical iron horses being transported back.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “I just borrowed the swords of your men to have a look. They’re all made of high – Quality steel, better than the swords we used in the military camp.” Wei Guang said. “Especially those small bows. Although the arrows are small, they are quite powerful. Moreover, there were also some mechanisms set up on it, making it easier to aim. The chance of hitting the target is higher and the distance is further. ” Chen Fei said. “Things from the West are good. I used to follow the Marshal on a western expedition and saw the Marshal use an item. That thing is called a telescope. With it, you can see things more than ten miles away, and you can see very clearly. ” Li Liao said. “That should be a single cylinder!” Tang Wen said. “Yes, yes, it’s a single tube, and you can only use one eye. However, I heard from the Marshal that it was a gift from a Western merchant to the royal family, and it’s very expensive. ” Li Liao said with a nod. “Li Quan, bring me the binoculars.” Tang Wen said.
