Chapter 90 Being Slapped in the Face by Someone Who Came to the Door

  Chrysanthemum City East Gate.

  A thousand cheetah troops ride horses and raise flags, standing in four rows, forming a long dragon.

  Look at them, one by one in uniform, with their heads held high and an air of arrogance, they seem to be here to show off their military might.

  Just look at the leader riding a white horse and you will know that they must be here to show off their military strength.

  The leader of them was Larry Panson, the young son of Marquis Panson who had stabbed Lee Xie with a sword in a duel and later settled it with gold coins.

  "It's actually this guy." Li Xie looked at the city wall from inside the city wall building, with a murderous intent in his eyes!

  The barracks had just been burned down when this guy arrived with his troops. Could it be a coincidence?! I'm afraid he's here to cover the withdrawal of their mages.

  "Open the gate!" Larry Panson roared under the city gate: "Tell your lord to come out and welcome this commander."

  "What a big show of authority, Lord Panson! You summon me to come out and greet you? Hmph!" Li Xie and Jack Vandenberg walked from the gate tower to the top of the city wall, looking down at Larry Panson: "A mere earl, not even paying respects to His Excellency the Duke... According to imperial law, should His Excellency..."

  "You can kill me with all sorts of excuses, but I won't give you the courtesy. What can you do?" Larry Panson's contemptuous gaze provoked Li Xie: "When I left, I had already ordered that if I die unexpectedly outside, it must be a rebellion in Chrysanthemum City! The Sunflower City's 100,000 Leopard Army will definitely march towards Chrysanthemum and make you die a terrible death."

  Li Xie sneered: "Killing you is considered a rebellion? You seem to overestimate yourself."

  "Haha, the son of the commander of the Cheetah Legion, killing me would be enough to earn you a reputation as a rebel. What? Want to give it a try? I have three long and two short, let all of you accompany me in death!"

  Hmph!

  Li Xie was quite disdainful!

  He was certain that now he would pretend to be Vandy Sell, and Larry Patterson would be scared to death!

  It's just that Li Xie didn't dare to do anything to Larry Parsons. Killing him would only be a momentary relief, but it would put Chrysanthemum City in an impossible situation.

  Li Xie was unwilling to engage in a war of words and calmly asked, "What brings Earl Pan Senbo and his large entourage to my Chrysanthemum City?"

  Larry Panson looked at Li Xie with a swaggering expression: "Nothing much, just came to see if the chrysanthemum city has been burned by the barracks, and to see if the dear lord of the chrysanthemum city is black-faced. It seems so, haha... The Earl is in a very good mood today, extremely good!"

  He took out a handful of gold coins from the space ring and scattered them on the ground: "By the way, donate some money to the dead soldiers, haha, no need to thank."

  Li Xie looked at the gold coins on the ground, jumped down from the 20-meter-high city wall, walked to Larry Panson's horse, and squatted down to pick up the gold coins one by one: "Since it's a donation from dead soldiers, we can't waste even less. Thank you, Marquis Panson."

  Watching Li Xie crouching on the ground picking up coins, Larry Panson suddenly felt a wave of disgust. He took a long whip from someone nearby and made a gesture as if he was about to lash Li Xie!

  Li Xie glanced at him and raised his hand, saying calmly: "If your whip dares to fall, I will make sure that not a single one of these thousand people remains! And as for you, I will cut your flesh into pieces and feed it to the dogs! You can try!"

  Li Xie's voice was flat and emotionless, as if he had reached the extreme of endurance.

  If this whip falls, Li Xie is likely to completely explode. No matter what the hunting leopard army or the chrysanthemum city's desperate situation, he will definitely use the most brutal way to make Larry Panson understand the horror of being alive.

  Larry Panson was stared at by Li Xie's eyes as if he were a dead object, his whole body hair standing on end. He raised his hand and finally put it down slowly, but felt embarrassed and sneered: "A desperate dog bites people, even if the dog is killed, it still bites, not worth it, this earl won't bother with you."

  "Thanks to Earl Panseng then." Li Xie picked up the gold coins and smiled coldly.

  "Don't mention it." Larry Panson said coldly, "On that day, you got me beaten by my father with two slaps. Today's barracks is one slap I'm returning to you! The other slap, please look forward to it, Duke Ye, because your life can only withstand one more slap!"

  "Oh? Then I'll wait!"

  "You can only wait, what else can you do? Hahaha... Larry Panson burst out laughing: "You clearly know who burned your barracks, what can you do? You clearly know I'm here to humiliate you, what can you do? Are you very frustrated? Are you very depressed? Where's the domineering air you had when you were on the imperial court, using force to bully others? Trash! Wait for death! Look, that guy in front is trash! I was going to go into Chrysanthemum City to take a look, but now I think it would be beneath me. Let's go back to our Sunflower City to eat meat and drink wine!"

  "We won't send it!" Li Ye cupped his hands and turned around, saying: "Open the city gate."

  The city gate slowly opened, and Li Xie walked into the Chrysanthemum City with his hands behind his back, his figure in the shadow of the city wall appeared even darker.

  Lary Penson looked at Li Xie's back and inexplicably felt a chill.

  Perhaps his consciousness did not recognize the kind of person he had offended, but his instincts were already sounding the alarm: the figure slowly walking towards the city gate, which seemed tiny compared to the city wall, was the most terrifying existence in Larry Penson's life.

  He was ridiculed by others, yet he didn't dare to do anything, Li Xie's heart wasn't stifled, that's absolutely impossible! After Larry Panson left, Li Xie returned to the City Lord's Manor and locked himself in his bedroom, not letting anyone know what he was doing inside.

  It wasn't until 7 pm that Li Xie came out of the bedroom at Lily's call, because someone asked to see him. When Lily entered Li Xie's room, what she saw was that Li Xie's golden bed had been cut into countless gold blocks the size of fingertips by some sharp object!

  The one who came to see Li Xie was Lei Di Gaha, the owner of Longhu Village.

  His arrival made Li Xie's depressed mood a bit better, as he thought of a good idea.

  In the study of the castle owner.

  Li Xie sat on a chair, Fan Di Sai stood beside him, and Lei Di Ga Ga knelt down with one knee, holding a brocade box in both hands.

  Li Xie took over the brocade box and opened it to take a look, only to find that it was divided into two portions of herbal medicine.

  "Get up. Are these the ingredients for making Sleeping Dream Fragrance?"

  "Yes, it's an adult."

  "How much sleeping gas can be made with these two materials? About how many people can it knock out?"

  "It can make two portions of Sleeping Incense, one portion of which, if dissolved in water, can knock out about a hundred people."

  Li's eyebrow twitched: "Master Meng is above! In three months, you've only managed this much? Are you taking the Duke's words as nothing?"

  It was clear that Li Xie was not very pleased, so Ledi Gaha hurriedly said: "Sir, I absolutely dare not slack off, it's just that the materials for this Sleep Dream Fragrance are really hard to find. Moreover, one of the main medicines 'Star Grass' can only be found at the top of Wan Zhen Cliff, and generally on the market there will only be a little bit in circulation. I used a lot of effort to find two portions, I absolutely dare not cheat you, sir."

  "Let's just assume you're telling the truth." Li Xie put away the brocade box: "Sit down, I have something to discuss with you."

  Lei Di Ga Ga sat down: "Please instruct, sir."

  "Are you brave enough?" Li Xie's gaze stared straight at Reddy Gagga, with a hint of a sly smile on his face.

  Lei Di Ga Ga's tiger eyes flashed with a fierce light: "There are only two things that Attributes Shengping dare not do, one is to send himself to death, and the other is to go back on his word!"

  "So you say." Li Xie pounded the table and said: "Do you dare betray me?"

  Ledi Gega said bluntly: "Dare! However, I don't dare to do it!"

  "Is there a difference between daring and not daring to do it?" Li Xie asked with narrowed eyes.

  "I dare, because the subordinate may betray the master! When the subordinate was threatened with death that day, he pledged allegiance to the master. If the subordinate is threatened with death again another day, he will naturally betray the master! And I don't dare do it, because if the subordinate betrays the master, it would be unrighteous towards my hundreds of brothers in the Dragon and Tiger Stronghold! It's not that I'm afraid of you, Master. If our stronghold was to be slaughtered that day, the subordinate would probably also be unable to escape disaster. Betraying the master is being disloyal!"

  "Haha, I don't care if you'll betray me or not, just telling you that if you betray me, your life will be over." Li Xie smiled faintly: "Of course, if you don't betray me, wealth and glory, you'll have more than enough. Right now, there's a big deal for you to do, it's not sending you to death, nor is it unrighteous."

  "Please go ahead, sir."

  "I want you to go near Sunflower City and become a bandit. All merchant caravans heading to Sunflower City, rob them if possible. In short, do everything in your power to destroy the economy of Sunflower City." Li Xie's eyes gleamed with malice!

  The military expenses of the Cheetah Legion are composed of two parts, one part is allocated by the dynasty, and the other part is half of the tax revenue from Sunflower City. Destroying the economy of Sunflower City will inevitably affect the military expenses of the 1 million-strong Cheetah Legion in Sunflower City. At that time, secretly delaying the allocation of funds to Mercedes VII and others, no money, who will help them fight?

  Furthermore, the economy of Sunflower City was destroyed, and the economy of Chrysanthemum City must have prospered as a result. Just like how Larry Brown used Reddy Gagga to destroy the economy of Chrysanthemum City in the past, causing all merchant teams to develop towards Sunflower City instead.

  This is a good plan to weaken the Cheetah Legion's combat power and develop Chrysanthemum City at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

  Li Xie continued: "Also, if there's an opportunity, destroy the agricultural production of Sunflower City. It would be best to make their land uncultivable, their pastures ungrazeable and their waters unfishable."

  Money and food are always the first fundamental things for an army. Without these two things, the hunting leopard corps will collapse by itself.

  Li Xie faced off against the million-strong Hunting Leopard Army of Sunflower City, and naturally had to resort to unorthodox methods.

  He cut the golden bed in the room, but it was not just a vent for his anger.

  "Also, about some news regarding Sunflower City, you must report to me in a timely manner." Li Xie continued: "If you lack people, I'll give you people! If you lack money, I'll give you money! If you lack equipment, I'll give you equipment! And you, must think of every way to help me do these three things well!"

  Lei Di Gaha thought for a moment and said: "Sir, the Sunflower City is different from Chrysanthemum City. The garrison over there..."

  "I don't care about your defense army, you are bandits. If you can't escape from the iron cavalry of the defense army, then you're not qualified to be called bandits. I only ask you, dare or not?"

  "Dare!" Reddy Gagah's eyes were fiercely menacing.

  "Alright! Let's do it!" Li Xie stood up and shouted: "Lili..."

  Lily walked in quickly: "Master, what are your orders?"

  "Go and summon Rothschild, the commander-in-chief." Li Xie watched as Lily walked out, it was really necessary to recruit more servants.

  "After a while, you will meet the commander of the evil army. Later, contact him more often." Li Xie continued: "Remember, if there is an unavoidable danger, escape to Chrysanthemum City, I will protect your life here."

  Vandy Sell said on the side: "Sir, are you afraid that this move will be used as an excuse by Sunflower City?"

  Li Xie sneered, "They want to attack Chrysanthemum City, they need a decent excuse, otherwise, there are too many concerns. Just like we clearly know they burned our barracks, but we can only endure it. In fact, I can let you guys kill them quickly and vent your anger, but do I dare? Don't worry, they made us eat a silent loss, we also have to return the courtesy."
