In the lord's manor, Li Ke sat on the main seat.
Looking at the densely packed crowd below, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl into a smile. His Blazing Flame Army finally had some scale.
"Barkley, there's Wollongong now. You'll have to worry about it in the future.”Li Ke warned.
A crafty rabbit has three burrows.
Wollongong was a rare base. It could be used as one of the bases. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was definitely the best choice.
Barkley nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Brothers, today we destroyed Wolonggang without a single casualty, this king is very happy.”
"This is an affirmation of our Blazing Flame Army and also a proof of your own strength. You have made the Blazing Flame Army famous.”
"However, Wollongong is just the beginning. Our footsteps will sweep through the entire South!”
Li Ke raised his wine glass. At this moment, his entire body was filled with an imposing aura. At the same time as he attacked Wollonggang, his body had undergone a magical transformation. It was not only on the physical level, but also on the spiritual level.
He had become a king.
"We will definitely follow in the footsteps of our lord and sweep through the entire world.”
When Li Xing and the others saw this scene, they immediately became fanatical, waving their arms crazily in agreement.
Li Ke couldn't help but laugh. The first step had been taken, and there would be new challenges coming up.
At this moment, Li Yi returned with a few people.
"My lord, I found these people by the roadside. They should have seen us.”
Li Ke's eyes flashed with killing intent. He looked at the few of them and said in a deep voice,"Tell me, what are you?"
"Milord, please spare our lives. We are all citizens of the Great Tang. In order to survive, we chose to carry salt back from Nanzhao to sell.”
"Carry salt?"
Li Ke couldn't help but frown. Did the Great Tang not have salt these days? Did they still need to go to Nanzhao to carry salt?
After some careful questioning, he asked the Mountain Thieves of Wolonggang and found that the Great Tang was really lacking in salt, and it was all low-quality salt. He couldn't help but look at Uncle Fu.
"My lord, the Great Tang is indeed lacking in salt. The salt we ate before was of inferior quality, and we bought it from them." Uncle Fu smiled bitterly.”
Although Rongzhou was quite far from here, there were still many necessities that needed to be purchased. Hence, Uncle Fu had sent people to buy salt from outside.
Li Ke nodded. This news was not bad.
He knew a way to get a large amount of refined salt. If there was a chance, he could definitely make a fortune.
These people were able to cross the mountains and travel to and from the Great Tang Nanzhao. They could be considered a few talents.
"I'll give you some tasks. If you can do it, I won't kill you!”Li Ke laughed.
The few salt bearers were overjoyed when they heard this. Not being killed was the best thing. Everything else could be discussed. They were the pillars of the family. If they were killed, their family would be finished.
"You are responsible for buying and selling some necessities. Of course, I will pay for them.”
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard that. They did not expect that not only would they not be killed, but they would also be able to earn a sum of money. This was definitely worth it.
"What's your name?" Li Ke looked at their leader.
"Your Majesty, my name is Zhang San.”
Zhang San?
Li Ke smiled and said,""However, I'm a little worried about letting you leave alone, so I'll send you a few bodyguards.”
He directly asked Li Xing to arrange for five people to follow them and protect their safety. This Zhang San was simply a fake name. He was already merciful by not killing him.
The corner of Zhang Sheng's mouth twitched. How was this an escort? This was clearly to monitor them.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and smile bitterly.""This lowly one is called Zhang Sheng.”
Instead of waiting to be discovered and killed, it was better to admit it voluntarily. Perhaps there was still a chance of survival.
Li Ke nodded his head and waved his hand to have someone take them out. He was not interested in their surnames at all. What he needed was someone to run errands.
These people were able to survive in a place where bandits stood. They were definitely capable people. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to survive.
It was not convenient for them to leave now, but these people could completely represent them to buy those things. Even if they were found out, it would not be traced to them.
There were so many mountains in this deep forest. Who could he find?
......
After they left, everyone held a celebration banquet, but Li Ke quietly left.
Behind him, Li Xing looked at him worriedly.
"Your Highness, if these people leak our information, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable.”He knew Li Ke's identity. If this was leaked, Li Chengqian and his gang would probably make a comeback.
Li Ke shook his head and smiled,"You don't have confidence in this king!"”
"Don't worry. With our people watching, these people won't dare to say anything. Even if they say it, so what? After a period of time, they won't have the time to care about us.”
Only Li Ke knew that Tuyuhun would attack Yizhou soon. When Yizhou was attacked, who would care about him?
After this period of time, it would be even simpler.
At that time, his military strength would reach a terrifying level. So what if he could directly crush Rongzhou and Yizhou?
Li Xing nodded. Although he didn't know why Li Ke was so certain, Li Ke was a god in his heart. He was an omnipotent existence.
"Secretly send someone to follow them and find their home. They will naturally know what to do!”Li Ke said coldly.
Seeing that these people were poor, he was already magnanimous enough not to kill them. If these people did not know death, he did not mind killing them.
People who seek death deserve to die!
Li Xing laughed. Li Ke, who was so decisive in killing, was a truly wise ruler.
Thinking of this, he decisively went to make arrangements.
Li Ke was left alone looking at the sky, his eyes flickering with an inexplicable light.
In this world, I, Li Ke, will fight with you!
After destroying Wollongong, he had already taken his first step.
