"Young…County Governor!" While he was deep in thought, he saw a personal guard enter to report. He wanted to call him "Young Master", but he immediately changed his words after being glared at by Li Hao. This was obviously his trusted subordinate.
"Someone's here!"
Li Hao's expression tensed up upon hearing his bodyguard's words. He didn't reveal any more expressions, and the movement of the pen in his hand also paused. This " family " was obviously not referring to Li Hao's illusory Li family, but the secret organization that Li Hao had secretly established, called the Thunder Pavilion.
While Li Hao was fighting against the alien tribes, he had secretly established the Thunder Pavilion. Most of the members of the Thunder Pavilion were orphans killed by the alien tribes at the border. Li Hao gathered them and taught them martial arts, military tactics, assassination, and intelligence gathering, making them serve him.
In the beginning, the Thunder Pavilion only killed corrupt officials and sold goods to earn money for Li Hao. Li Hao relied on the Thunder Pavilion to obtain a large amount of money. Later on, he exchanged for many weapons, cultivation techniques, and pills to increase the strength of himself and the Thunder Pavilion.
It was this virtuous cycle that allowed Li Hao to strengthen himself with the help of the Thunder Pavilion. He had obtained a large amount of military merits and money. After a few years of development, the Thunder Pavilion had also developed rapidly. Now, there were a total of assassination, intelligence, business, and other businesses. There were more than three to four thousand members scattered all over the country, and there were one to two hundred core members. They were his true confidants.
Now that the event in Youzhou Province was about to happen, the main location of this diplomatic mission case was Youzhou Province. If Li Hao wanted to gain more credit in this case, he needed to have enough subordinates. This was also the reason why Li Hao wanted them to come here.
He waved his hand and ordered the person to lead him in.
"Young Master!" Soon, the two of them entered the hall and bowed to Li Hao. There were two people, a middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance, and a young man with a delicate appearance and a feminine temperament.
Staring at the two of them, he first stopped at the older middle-aged man for a while. After a long time, he said a name with a serious face,"Elephant Lord!"
Over the years, under Li Hao's vigorous development, the Thunder Pavilion's influence had more than doubled. There were already ten halls, and every hall master had unique skills and high-tier martial arts.?
This Elephant Lord was one of the three hall masters of the Thunder Pavilion. Being stared at by Li Hao, the simple-minded look on his face disappeared and he became very respectful.
Looking at the young man beside him who was smiling and staring at him, Li Hao's expression relaxed slightly and he chuckled,""Ling 'er, why did you follow me up north?”
Dressed in a robe with a slanted collar, her chest was slightly bulging, and she had light makeup on her face. She was obviously a young girl. Facing Li Hao's gentle gaze, Ling 'er called out sweetly,""Young Master, I miss you!"
Li Hao had met Ling 'er three years ago. That day, the Turks had attacked the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty and exterminated all the people in Ling' er's village. Even Ling 'er's parents had been killed by the Turks, and Ling' er had coincidentally hidden in the cellar, allowing her to escape.
Coincidentally, Li Hao led a group of rangers to appear there, saving Ling 'er and giving her a new name, Chu Ling' er.
Ling 'er was talented and intelligent. She learned the martial arts that Li Hao taught her in one go. In just three years, she had grown from nothing to an expert.
However, Ling 'er had a bad habit of sticking to Li Hao. Not long after, Ling' er came to Youzhou with Elephant Lord.
Although he had never been in love before, Li Hao knew that this little girl was lustful and was interested in him.
Li Hao was naturally happy about this. In his eyes, Ling 'er had long been his. It was just a difference between eating early and eating late.
She wasn't dressed in women's clothing, but it was obvious that she was a peerless beauty. Li Hao had never been stingy with his praise for beautiful things."You've grown up! You're even more juicy and delicious!"
A ferocious feeling surged in the depths of his heart. He glanced at the shy Ling 'er and gestured for her to sit beside him.
Only then did he turn his attention to Elephant Lord, who was still standing in the hall. After examining him for a while, he pointed to the bed beside him and said,"Sit!"
"Everything went smoothly, right? Did you attract anyone's attention?”
Youzhou was Hua Mulan's territory for many years, and there were many people from the Snake Spirit who were active here. Li Hao did not want to be discovered by Hua Mulan's people as soon as they arrived.
"Don't worry, young master. We've always been careful. We definitely won't be discovered.”
"But…but?"
"But what?" Seeing Elephant Lord stutter, Li Hao's voice immediately became much louder.
Sensing the dissatisfaction in Li Hao's tone, Elephant Lord hurriedly explained,""Young master is wise. Before we came, we accepted a mission. The other party offered us three thousand taels of gold and promised that after the mission was completed, we would have another one thousand five hundred taels!”
"What a big deal!" Li Hao was also secretly shocked. To be able to offer such a huge sum of money, it seemed that the other party's strength was simply not to be underestimated.
After pondering for a moment, Li Hao asked again,""How many of you are here?"
"Two hundred brothers of the three great halls, infiltrate Youzhou!”
"Do you know who the other party is and where they are meeting?”Li Hao asked for the last time.
He didn't receive any of the gifts through Li Hao, so Elephant Lord didn't dare to hide anything. He cupped his fists and said,""The specific identity is unknown. I only know that the leader of the other party is called Jin Mulan, and they are meeting at the Tianbao Bank in the state capital!”
As expected!
Hearing this name, Li Hao's expression did not change much. In Youzhou Province, only one force could be so generous!
The incident in Youzhou had actually involved the Thunder Pavilion. Li Hao felt that this matter was getting more and more interesting.
After Ling 'er sat down, she didn't say anything. She just propped her head up and scanned Li Hao. She was younger than Li Hao by several years, and Li Hao had saved her life before. The young lady was in love, and it was inevitable that her heart would be a little shaken after not seeing him for more than half a year.
" Young Master," Elephant Lord couldn't help but speak again as Li Hao frowned.
"Speak!" He glanced at him.
"If Young Master finds it difficult, we…we might as well not do this deal!”
Sensing Li Hao's dissatisfaction, Elephant Lord quickly came up with an idea, which was to give up on this deal.
Li Hao smiled when he heard this explanation. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Elephant Lord."The other party's offer is not low. This is a large sum of money. Why should we give up?”
