Vol 2 Chapter 4:

"Your Majesty is doubting Li Yi's loyalty? Although there is not much communication with him, but I don't seem to be an ambitious person. I shouldn't have any major problems."
"Oh, I’m not as good as you in military affairs. But when it comes to hiring people, you may not be doing me. The most terrible thing about Li Yi is that he has no ambition, and I can’t see a trace of power in his eyes. Obsession."
"Isn't this better? Without ambition, there will be no chaos." General Luo Ning said doubtfully.
"General, this is a big mistake. I'd rather he has ambition and pursuit. If he likes money, I will give him money. If he likes power, I will give him high officials. Only he wants, I can give it, I gave him, and he can only die for our empire. But when I look at this person, it seems that there is no desire or desire, and the young age gives me an unfathomable feeling. This person cannot be reused. ."
"Why, Your Majesty, Li Yi is a rare talent. Is it just because he has no intention of money power, you give up such a person with unlimited potential."
"All the unrest factors must be eliminated, precisely because of his unlimited potential, but I have no way to contain him, so I don’t want to reuse this person. The character of such a single-minded person is the most weird, and it is difficult to protect the future empire. There will be things that make him unsatisfactory. If he turns out of our country, wouldn’t it be a disaster."
"But Your Majesty..." General Luo Ning obviously couldn't accept King Tianlan's thinking, and wanted to defend Li Yi.
"Don’t say more about the general, I’m just planning ahead. If I find out that this person can be reused in the future, I won’t let him lose this talent. Now, let him be the head of the group. ."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Knowing that he could no longer convince the King, General Luo Ning gave up persuasion.
"General's military affairs are heavy, and I won't keep you too much. General Wu's affairs and General Labor are bothersome."
"This is the duty of the old minister. The old minister will do his best. Since there is nothing else to do with your majesty, the old minister will retire first." After that, General Luo Ning turned and left. As he walked, his brow furrowed, and he still seemed a little puzzled by what the king said just now.
After General Luo Ning withdrew from the study, King Tianlan turned his head and said to Prince Kevin: "Erper, do you think the father and emperor's idea is right or wrong."
Prince Kevin always listened to the conversation between the king and General Luo Ning just now, so when the king asked him, the prince of Kevin asked him what his father and mother asked.
"The father emperor's views on Li Yi are also somewhat puzzled. In my several contacts with Li Yi, I found that although Li Yi is a person who is hot outside and cold inside, if he can really intersect with him, he should Can get his loyalty."
"The emperor is still not good at seeing people, what do you think Li Yi cares most about."
"Strength, Li Yi is a typical cultivator, he cares most about his strength."
"That's right, most of the cultivators are dedicated to strength, so they often don't care about worldly things. If this person can be handed over, it's naturally better, but why do you associate with him."
"Do friends have to meet with each other?" Prince Kevin was still quite dissatisfied.
"There are no eternal friends in this world. You will know when you experience some things. Well, it's not too early, you should go to rest." The king said lightly, and gave the prince to the eviction order.
"Yes, Father Emperor, the courtier retired there."
Sitting alone in the empty study, King Tianlan looked at the night sky outside the window and remained silent for a long time.
It took a while for the king to speak slowly: "Send someone to stare at Li Yi." At this time, the room was empty, but the king used the command tone.
But strangely, a cold voice unexpectedly sounded inside the house-yes, Your Majesty.
It has been two days since the sight of King Tianlan's study. Li Yi was healed by the doctor of Tianlan National Doctor, and the knife wound healed at a terrifying rate. In just two days, Li Yi has been able to deal with people, of course, it is not appropriate to fight.
"Li Yi, tomorrow the angels of Wu Anguo will return home. The general's order is that we want to guarantee their safety throughout the journey, but is your health okay now?" Alice asked slightly worried.
"No problem, the injuries on his body are almost all right, don't worry." Li Yi said lazily, at this time he was relaxing with Alice in the sun on the roof.
"That's good. Besides, this is the territory of our Tianlan empire along the way, and there will be no danger." Alice said self-confidently again.
"Alas, when I first came to the emperor, I was stable for a few days, so I had to go far away. Alice, wouldn't you blame me for taking things around?" Suddenly, Li Yi turned to look at Alice seriously. Said.
"No, no, how could it be. That's fine, after all, I'm an adjutant now, ha ha." Facing Li Yi's serious expression, Alice's words were not smooth and lost the spirit of the past.
"I hope that there will not be any great danger in sending troops to Wu'an. If there is any crisis, you don't need to control me. You should escape first." Li Yi continued to say seriously.
"I don't, if it's really dangerous, how can I live alone. You can't succeed, we can escape together. What army and minerals are all shit, it is the most important thing that we can survive. But, Li Yi, why are you suddenly? Say something like this."
"It's nothing, just make some arrangements in advance, so you don't get messy when you get up." Li Yi said perfunctoryly, and then jumped off the roof.
But when coming out of the room, Li Yi said to himself: "It's a strange hunch."
Alice apparently didn't take this matter to heart, only Li Yi's precautionary words. Jumping off the roof neatly and rushing into the house, he shouted: "Li Yi, thief, look!" But Alice's voice came again in the blink of an eye-hey.
"Idiot, I can't change a trick. I can remove your trick with my eyes closed." Li Yi looked at Alice and said with a smile.
Alice grievously covered her forehead and said softly, "Then you can't stop hitting my head every time, it will make you crack."
"Oh, hand mistakes, hand mistakes. It's true that every time you rushed over, that small unforeseen forehead was so attractive. I didn't hold back every time, and I shot." Li Yi said awkwardly. There was a smirk on his face.
"Brother Li is there."
While Li Yi was joking with Alice, a young man's voice suddenly came out of the bed.
"Listening to the voice, it should be Kevin." Li Yi said with a smile, and then turned to walk outside.
"Oh, it turned out that Brother Kevin was here. Li Yi was far away and welcomed, and he hoped to forgive his sins." Li Yi said greeted the Crown Prince.
"Brother Li still likes to joke so much. I told you long ago that you and I don't need to pay attention to these polite things." The prince Kevin also smiled all over his face, showing his full kindness to Li Yi.
Li Yiqian laughed and asked out loud: "I don't know why Brother Kevin is here for me."
"Hey, guess what." Kevin didn't have the demeanor of a prince at this time. Instead, he looked like a naughty boy and blinked to play with Li Yi.
"Let me borrow money? No problem, Your Majesty just rewarded me 100,000 gold coins yesterday. If you can't turn around, I will borrow you, and I still have it." Li Yi saw the Prince Kevin "cheesy" The expression on her face thought that the other party had a hidden word, so she said "in good faith".
"Where do you want to go? You have heard that the prince of any country will be short of money. I have something to do with you." Prince Kevin said seriously.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Seeing the other party's serious attitude, Li Yi no longer spoke much, just waiting for Kevin to speak.
"Tomorrow, the Wu'an Kingdom mission will return to our country, and our Tianlan Empire is preparing to send an official to follow the mission, which is also a return visit to our country."
"Well, what does this matter have to do with you and me?"
"That official is me."
"You?" Li Yi was puzzled. "Can the prince be an official now?"
"I like your sense of humor. How can the prince be an official. I already have an official identity. I will travel with you as a supervisor, mainly to investigate the specific conditions of the mine."
"Your Majesty agreed? To know that Wu Anguo has left the territory of Tianlan Kingdom, if there is any accident, there may be no return."
"Well, this is what the father and emperor promised. He also agreed with me to go out and see, but also have more insight."
"Since Your Majesty has agreed, I don't have much to say. Brother Kevin is assured that if there is any danger, Li Yi will definitely protect His Highness."
"Hey, I am more at ease with your words. I still have things, so I will go first. We will meet at the school tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll send you."
After sending off Prince Kevin, Li Yi said with a smile: "Oh, is it because I am afraid that I am full of money, and sent the second prince to monitor me?" But Li Yi didn't think much anymore and turned into the house.
When Li Yi and Alice arrived on the school grounds the next day, 10,000 cavalry were ready to go. Li Yi simply opened a mobilization meeting, and then the brigade of the brigade stepped up to the Tianlan City Gate in one step, waiting for the arrival of Wu'an Envoy.
When Margaret saw Li Yi in a uniform, he was shocked, and then said coldly: "It seems that this time General Li led the team and escorted our mission back to our country."
"Exactly, what's wrong?" Li Yian sat on the horse and responded coldly. Now that he has formed a beam with Wu Anguo's envoys, he is not ready to talk to each other.
"Nothing wrong, the concubine just asked at random. So is General Li's troops stationed at the Mojing mine?"
"Yes, rest assured, I will guarantee your safety." After that, Li Yi rode back to his troops.
After the prince Kevin also converged with the troops, the two greeted a few words, and Li Yi waved his hand and shouted: "Go."
A force of more than 10,000 people marched toward Wu Anguo.
Because all were cavalry troops, the mission's carriage was not slow. Li Yi and his team arrived at Wu'an State in only half a month.
"Mrs. Luoer (Margaret surname Luoer), has arrived in the territory of Wu'an Kingdom, but it is your site. Could you tell us about the customs and customs of your country?" Prince Kevin riding a horse, smiling and following Margaret said aside.
Margaret smiled, and began to introduce Prince Ang to King Kevin.
Marching hurriedly along the way, everyone did not have a good rest. Now that the destination is approaching, the speed of the troops has slowed down.
There will be laughter and laughter from time to time in the team, and even Li Yi will occasionally make jokes with Alice, instead of just marching like in previous days.
The Wu'an Kingdom is not big, only one province of the Tianlan Empire. The troops marched slowly, and it took only one day to reach the capital of Wu'an State from the border.
Li Yi hates socializing, so instead of following Prince Kevin to meet King Wu Anguo, he is letting troops station outside the city to wait for Prince Kevin.
Everything went smoothly, and it only took half a day for Prince Kevin to come out of the city. After naming the location of the Magic Crystal Mine, the troops proceeded towards the vein.
This magic crystal mine is basically located in the center of Wu'an Kingdom, and is not far from the capital. When Li Yi led the team, he didn't see anyone mining. Li Yi couldn't help but ask the prince Kevin: "Isn't the magic crystal mine discovered before, why don't you see anyone mining."
"Oh, Wu Anguo does not have the right to mine privately. They must wait for the empire to send people before they can arrange for someone to do it." The prince Kevin said with a smile, there was a little triumph in the words between the lines.
"Doesn't the Tianlan Kingdom need to send more people to mine, do we just have to wait for them to mine the magic crystal and pay tribute to that 70%?"
"Yes, if you don't pay tribute, the only thing waiting for them is the army's gold horse."
After listening to the words of Prince Kevin, Li Yi was speechless for a moment. It seems that strength should be emphasized between countries. Weak meat and strong food. This is always the right rule.
Li Yi no longer talked to Prince Kevin, but transferred horse head back to the army and began to send tasks to the team. After all, his duty here was to protect this precious and abnormal mine vein.
"Li Yi, Mojing is indeed a good thing. I must steal a few pieces after waiting for mining." Alice said playfully beside Li Yi.
Li Yi heard the words and habitually raised his right hand. Upon seeing Li Yi's gesture, Alice hurriedly guarded her forehead and said in aggrieved manner: "Okay, okay, I won't steal it. It's really boring, I didn't expect you to be a clean official."
Li Yi just smiled and said lightly: "If you like it, I'll buy you a few pieces."
Alice nodded cleverly and stopped talking.
The two ride horses to tour around the Magic Crystal Mine. It is still quiet here, and there may be a lot of coolies coming in to mine tomorrow.
Just when the two were talking and laughing, they suddenly heard a roar in the distance: "Who is Li Yi, you get out for Lao Tzu."
Hearing the roar, Li Yi couldn't help but stunned, seeing Alice's puzzled look, Li Yi shook his head confused. But since the other party wants to see himself by name, Li Yi is not going to be a tortoise.
After a little adjustment, he slowly lucked his mouth, and secretly lucked the "Blood Roar" exercise, and said aloud: "Li Yi is here, who is here to make noise."
Not long after, a figure rushed to Li Yi at a very fast speed.
After arriving at the station to shape his body, Li Yi had the opportunity to take a good look at the inexplicable guest.
I saw an sloppy old man with dirty hair scattered casually on his shoulders. Although his face was ugly, his eyes were shimmering.
The old man stared at Li Yi and asked fiercely: "Are you Yi Li?"
