Looking at Gao Xiangsheng's resentful woman's gaze, Li Ze couldn't help laughing.

Gao Xiangsheng listened to Li Ze's unconcealed smug smile, but his eyes lit up. Even though he was very calculating, he still couldn't escape the nature of a young man.

"Investment is risky, so you need to be cautious when entering the market!" After finally stopping your smile, Li Ze said: "Gao Chanjun, do you come to Wuyi to find me. Do you want to recover your investment? This is unlikely. This is like a business. Whether you lose money or make money, you have to admit it. Is this the most basic integrity?"

"I never thought I could pick those things out of your mouth." Gao Xiangsheng shook his head: "Now it seems that you are a glutton, a typical person who only enters and cannot leave."

Li Ze looked at him playfully: "Or it's just that it's not time to leave. Since Gao Chanjun came to collect debts this time, is it because he still wants to invest additionally?"

"I have five thousand armored soldiers..."

Before Gao Xiangsheng finished speaking, Li Ze waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Gao Jun, let's not kidding. If you really get five thousand armored soldiers here, it's not investment, it's annexation, so we can't be relatives and enemies."

Gao Xiangsheng said yelling: "Young Master Li, don't forget, you are still the General of the Qianniu Guard of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Ze looked at him mockingly and said lightly: "Zhang Zhongwu seems to be the Minister of the Tang Dynasty and the Minister of the Lu Long. Compared with him, I, the General of the Central Army, seem to be a little unworthy!"

After being choked by Li Ze, Gao Xiangchang's face was dim and his face turned a little red. After a while, he slowly returned to his calmness. He lifted his robe and sat on the dam. He patted his side and signaled Li Ze to sit down as well.

"Mr. Li, I underestimated you before and regarded you as a tool that can be used. Now I formally apologize to you." Gao Xiangsheng said word by word.

"It is possible to be used as a tool, at least it means that this person still has certain value, and sometimes it is not a bad thing." Li Ze said with a smile: "To be honest, if you didn't use me as a tool and sent me four hundred thousand Niu Guards and one hundred Mo Dao Hands, I might not have been able to win this battle against Zhu Bin, so sometimes, tools can be made, hahaha."

Gao Xiangsheng was a little surprised. I couldn't figure out whether Li Ze's words were sincere or sarcastic to himself. After a while, his son said silly: "Mr. Li's thoughts are really different."

"Of course it's different." Li Ze said: "If it weren't for the uniqueness, Gao Shanjun wouldn't have liked me at the beginning, and he wouldn't have come to me again today. Gao Shanjun, we are all smart people, so if you have anything to say, you don't have to go around the corner, go straight, but it's better. Sometimes when you say things around and make people guess, you will inevitably guess many questions. Don't you think?"

Gao Xiangsheng nodded in admiration: "Since Mr. Li is so cheerful, I will say it straightforwardly. Your performance really made us not expect that the soldiers and money given to you were originally intended to fight against Li Che, but by chance, you used it to save Chengde. Although this was not our original intention, no matter what, you owe us a favor, right?"

"This is not bad." Li Ze nodded. "What kind of retribution do you want to repay this love?"

Gao Xiangsheng was silent for a moment and shook his head and said, "If you say repayment, you have already repayed it. We did not expect that Henghai turned to Lu Long. You defeated Zhu Bin, burned Dezhou, and made Zhu Shou difficult in Cangzhou. He said that he had already done his best for the Tang Dynasty. If this were not the case, Zhang Zhongwu might have swept the north now. If he had achieved great virtue, Gao Pian's Hedong would be out of control."

"So, I don't owe you?"

"I don't owe it!" Gao Xiangsheng said. "So, we still want to continue investing."

Li Ze turned his head and looked at Gao Xiangsheng seriously and said, "Gao Chanjun, before we talk about investment, let's talk about what kind of role you are? If you don't understand this, it will be difficult for me to have an accurate positioning for you!"

"What role can I be? The Tang Dynasty Guards are in charge of military service. If they do well, they may be promoted to General of Guards." Gao Xiangsheng said with a smile.

"Sihai Trading." Li Ze said seriously. "In the past, I had limited resources and had limited knowledge of Sihai Trading, but now, I know a lot more or less. I used to think Sihai Trading was a weapon in the hands of the emperor, but now I know it is not the case. It seems that they are investing everywhere. For me, they only made a little money and a little soldier, but they made a lot of money elsewhere. There are also many people in Zhang Zhongwu, right?"

Gao Xiangsheng nodded: "Yes, Mr. Li can regard Sihai Trading as a businessman, but what he does is not ordinary business, but dynasty changes and competing for the world. As long as it is someone they think there is hope, they will bet."

"They bet on Zhang Zhongwu and at the same time they bet on the court. Can you tolerate this?" Li Ze spread his hands.

"There is no way tolerate it." Gao Xiangsheng smiled bitterly: "Young Master must have known their background now. If the Tang Dynasty was still the Tang Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, no, as long as it was the Tang Dynasty fifty years ago, how could they dare to be so blatant? It's just that the situation is like this now, and nothing can we do."

"I roughly guessed who there are in Sihai Trading. Since I can guess it, can't Gao Tanjun guess? Why not get rid of the roots?"

"Is that easy?" Gao Xiangsheng said: "It's not that I underestimated the young master. What you can see is just floating on the surface, and the big head is not floating. I have been tracing it for a while before, but in the end, guess who I found?"

"who?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor." Gao Xiangsheng said.

Li Ze yelled, and looking at the other party didn't seem to be joking.

"The power and wealth of these people are actually entangled with many industries of His Majesty the Emperor. Tell me, how can I continue to investigate? Not to mention those royal relatives, meritorious and civil and military ministers, they are more or less entangled with the four seas' trade. The so-called "joining one" and "move all your body. If you want to move one, you haven't even gotten a look. There are already a lot of people coming to deal with you. I am also quick to stop when the situation is not good, otherwise you would never see me now."

"And then you get fucked with them?"

"If this is not the case, how can we survive? If we do not survive, how can we do things? If we do not do things, how can we save the Tang Dynasty?" Gao Xiangsheng looked at Li Ze and said, "What's more, the Sihai Commerce is just an investment. Whoever has the power will turn toward whoever is stronger. If we can gain the upper hand, then they turn to us all, which is natural."

Li Ze sighed: "The Tang Dynasty is now, ah..."

Looking at Li Ze who kept shaking his head, Gao Xiangsheng said, "Before the Tang Dynasty was over, Mr. Li, dozens of military governors in the world, was only Zhang Zhongwu who openly rebeled. Others, even if they were in the Seiju, were still holding the Tang Dynasty's flag to cover up. What does this mean that the Tang Dynasty's energy has not yet ended. We still have loyal generals like Gao Pian, right?"

"It's just Gao Pian!" Li Ze pouted.

"Young master can also become a person like Gao Pian!" Gao Xiangsheng looked at Li Ze and said seriously.

Li Zetu burst out laughing: "Gao Senjun, where do you see that I am like Gao Pian? I admire people like Gao Pian very much, but I never want to be someone like him."

“Why?”

"Because he carries too much, he lives a uncomfortable life and is too heavy." Li Ze said. "I want to live a happy and loving life, live whatever I want, without being tied up, without being hindered, and without knots. I don't have to be responsible for anything!"

"Does Mr. Li think this is possible?" Gao Xiangsheng asked. "Just now, are you not tied or tiring?"

Li Ze was stunned, but finally nodded: "You are right, this is just my imagination."

"But such a life is not impossible." Gao Xiangsheng changed his mind and said, "If the Tang Dynasty returned to its prosperous era, the world would be peaceful, the people would live in peace, and officials would be in their own positions. Rich people like the young master could really live such a life."

Li Ze glanced at him, "Do you think the Tang Dynasty may return to its prosperous scene now?"

"Why can't?" Gao Xiangsheng looked excited: "We have seen the talent of the young master. Not only me, but also many like-minded people with me, they also believe that the young master will definitely become a great man in the future. Even now, the young master has shown his strength. If the young master can cooperate with Gao Jiedu and defeat Zhang Zhongwu, then the north will be able to return to peace. Once Zhang Zhongwu is destroyed, no one in the world will be afraid. At that time, the court will naturally regain its glory. Otherwise, the young master and Gao Jiedu will become their nightmare."

"So that's how you think?" Li Ze laughed and said, "But you forgot that my surname is Li. I am the son of the governor of Chengde."

"If the young master can do all this, his future achievements will be more than just a governor of Chengde?" Gao Xiangsheng said: "Gao Pian is old, but the young master is still young. As long as he does all this, his portrait will inevitably become a newcomer in Lingyan Pavilion. In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been twenty-four people in Lingyan Pavilion."

"But I am even more afraid that I will be more powerful in the future. If Lingyan Pavilion fails, I will lose my life." Li Ze said flatly.

"Who can make a conclusion now about what happened decades later?" Gao Xiangsheng did not refute Li Ze's words, "Besides, the young master is so unconfident in himself?"

"Don't provoke me, I never take this trick." Li Ze smiled and said, "Since it's a matter of the future, let's talk about it later. Now, I'm still worried about whether I can become the governor of De and Jiedu! Do you have any suggestions?"

"Young Master should know that even if the Jiedu governors are in charge now, their heirs will eventually need appointment edict from the Tang Dynasty court to be justified. As long as the young master can make Cheng De write a letter, the court will be officially enthroned, and even more."

Li Ze looked at Gao Xiangsheng and said, "What if I took Henghai first?"

"If Henghai rebelled, he would naturally be removed from the court. On the day the prince entered Cangzhou, the court would appoint you as the governor of Henghai."

"What about Chengde?"

"If Chengde also wrote a letter, then it is not impossible for Chengde to combine two across and sea into one!"
