The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

soon……

This group of people came to a place in a mighty manner, the cafeteria! There was actually a cafeteria here where they could eat first.

Of course, Li Jihuan had nothing to eat because someone wanted to see him.

After hearing this, Li Jihuan probably knew what was going on. As the saying goes, what is coming will come, and there is no way to avoid it!

If it is a blessing, it will not bring disaster. If it is a disaster, you cannot avoid it, so go and see it.

Sure enough, he saw a familiar figure, his elder brother Li Jize!

Of course, Li Jize did not take him to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to meet him, because he could not let Li Jihuan meet Li Jin and Huang Suqiu.

Once these two people saw Li Jihuan, how would they implement their plan? As the saying goes, Qingzhou doesn't support idle people.

Li Jize laughed as soon as he saw Li Jihuan. He raised his hand, patted Li Jihuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Ah! Jihuan is here! I didn't expect that after so many years of separation, we two brothers would actually meet again!"

Li Jihuan: “…”

He feels a little uncomfortable!

This discomfort is not just due to the current status gap between the two, but more of a pain of living under the shadow of Li Jize since childhood.

Why must I be born a concubine? Why must he be born the eldest son?

Why were he and the Empress childhood sweethearts? They were engaged? And he had nothing?

Why did he become the "King of Qin"? Why did he become the General of Heavenly Strategy? Why was he nothing?

Later, when the empress dreamed of killing the King of Qin, he was so happy that he even took over the Beiliang Wolf Cavalry immediately.

But now?

Facts have proven that your brother is still your brother. Even without the Empress, he can still build a career on his own.

And you, Li Jihuan! You are just a stinky little brother.

"You've been traveling all this way, so I've prepared some wine to welcome you, Ji Huan."

Li Jihuan didn't say anything, just remained silent.

Li Jize was stunned and asked in confusion, "Why is Ji Huan silent?"

"Today, my brother is the butcher and I am the meat. What else can I say? I only ask to see my father and die quickly!"

Li Jihuan's words made Li Jize laugh. What the hell! Still want to see his old father? Go and die quickly?

He was going to meet Li Jin, so what was the next thing? I was afraid that this bastard would just be a "rice bug" here, right?

Thinking of this, Li Jize didn't care about being polite anymore. All these tricks and roundabout ways were really disgusting!

"Ji Huan, I'll be frank with you! You must have seen along the way that there's a group of pirates overseas, and they're leaderless. As my younger brother, I didn't want you to come along during this operation. But... considering we're brothers, I'm giving you the promising career of Pirate King! You must share my worries."

What a "promising" career it is. Why don't you, Li Jize, do it yourself?

Thinking of this, Li Jihuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Why would I be needed for this kind of thing? Brother can send any of his trusted men to go, right?"

result……

Li Jize picked up the teacup in his hand and said coldly, "My trusted men are all carefully selected. It would be a waste of their talents to let them become Pirate King!"

Damn it!

Li Jihuan was furious when he heard this. Damn it! He meant that his talent was only enough to make him a pirate?

Snapped!

Li Jihuan was so furious that he slammed the table and stood up, saying viciously, "Li Jize, don't go too far! I want to see my father, you have no right to stop me."

Li Jize didn't say anything, but sat there and took out a bag of strange things from his pocket.

In front of Li Jihuan, he took out one and put it in his mouth, then took out something full of small sticks and scratched it, and fire miraculously came out.

After lighting it, he puffed away, coughing and laughing as he said, "You've never seen this before? This time they went to East Japan and discovered this thing called tobacco! It will be an endless supply of gold in the future."

Speaking of which...

Li Jize flicked the ash from his cigarette and said calmly, "The wealth on the sea is endless, Li Jihuan! I'm telling you straight, I'm only giving you this position because we're related by blood! Firstly, I don't want people to say I killed my own brother. Secondly, I don't want you, a sinner, to stay in Shenzhou and bring disaster to us Qi people! Especially since you once served as a dog to the barbarians!"

Li Jihuan: “…”

"Now, you either go out and plunder wealth and people for me, or go to jail and do hard labor building bridges and roads. Listen! There is no third option!"

Li Jize's words laid everything bare.

If you stay in the country, it will be a disgrace to my Li family. Considering that you have some blood relationship with me, I give you the position of "Pirate King" and let you have some fun overseas.

If you don't want to take my face, don't blame me for not considering our brotherhood!

Li Jihuan: “…”

After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "I can be the Pirate King, but... can I pay my respects to my father before leaving?"

"Don't even think about it!"

Li Jize can't let him have any chance of contact. What if this grandson plays tricks and Li Jin refuses to let him go?

"Well, I have one last request, my mother..."

"I can take him in! But listen carefully, whether you can return to the Li family and see your mother again depends on your performance overseas."

I have to say, Li Jize is really shameless!

He is so cruel to my younger brother and my second mother. He threw my younger brother overseas and now he is holding my second mother in his hand to threaten him.

What does this person drifting on the sea desire most?

Of course it’s land!

Once on land, of course I long for a home and to go home.

This is also why after Li Jize opened the "Letter of Marque", he was not afraid at all that the "pirates" would run away. If they could not go ashore, no matter how much gold, silver and jewelry they looted, it would be useless.

If they couldn't get ashore, how would they get home? How would they find women? (In ancient times, sailors were superstitious and women were not allowed on board ships.)

But with the letter of marque, even though the price is high, they can spend money and land in Qingzhou. Isn't this simply wonderful?

The same goes for Li Jihuan!

This time, he will be the most "honorable" pirate king on the sea, and he can get a lot of wealth and a group of women to enjoy.

but……

I'm afraid it's too difficult to go home, and my only thought is of my parents.

But Li Jize just grasped this point.

But does Li Jihuan have any choice?

From the perspective of personal feelings, Li Jize is an unqualified elder brother. From the perspective of justice, he served as a dog for the barbarians and suppressed the uprising of the Qi people for them. Yet, Li Jize spared his life and gave him the position of pirate king. This elder brother is simply too good.
