"You're scared silly, Yinzi! If Jiang wanted to beat us, would he have let us live until now?"

"That's right, why didn't he just kill us in the mountains? Why did he bring us here? Because we didn't take a shower?"

The other bandits who pretended to be calm looked down on Yinzi whose legs were shaking, while Li Dadangjia and Li Liehu thought that Jiang Yanluo's move was definitely intended to intimidate them.

"Uncle, what do you think?" Li the hunter didn't expect Jiang Yan's real purpose, but Li the boss had already thought of it.

However, there was no way he would agree to it.

"Ask someone to prepare tea for the guests." Li Dadang's guess was almost right, but the biggest deviation was that Jiang Yan didn't ask them to do anything for him.

Jiang Yan would not forget that the Jiang and Li families had a feud. Even if he was willing to believe Li Dadangjia, Li Dadangjia would not be willing to follow him. This was known from the last siege of the mountain stronghold. Li Dadangjia was willing to let go of his hatred, but it did not mean that he was willing to submit to his former enemy. This was impossible, and Jiang Yan would not make things difficult for him.

Therefore, Jiang Yan also concealed the fact that he was proposing to marry Xu Ning, and emphasized to the uncle and nephew of the Li family that the city that had been captured now belonged to Xu Ning of the Xu family.

As for why Jiang Yan didn't take it into his own pocket, there were two reasons. First, Xu Ning was the variable. She had all kinds of magical weapons in her hands and was not influenced by the Daqing court. She was more suitable to be the owner of this peripheral area than him.

Secondly, Jiang Yan had a selfish motive. He hoped that by doing this, Xu Ning would open his heart and trust him more, so that he could take the girl back to his home.

Of course, he would not tell these to the uncle and nephew of the Li family.

When Li Liehu heard Jiang Yan say that the captured cities and territories all belonged to Xu Ning, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

The head of the Li family also knew about the existence of Xu Ning. Li the hunter had mentioned some of it over the years, but in addition to being shocked, he also doubted the relationship between Jiang Yan and Xu Ning.

"Master Li, I have something else to tell you." Jiang Yan gestured to Master Li to let the irrelevant people go away, then continued, "This artifact belongs to the master of Xiacheng."

Jiang Yan's words diverted Li Da's thoughts. His first reaction was that Jiang Yan was also controlled by others.

Thinking about it this way, Li Da Dangjia felt that it was not a bad idea to work for Xu Ning. Anyway, they were planning to stop being bandits. If there was a chance to clean up their name, it would be better to work under an acquaintance. It would be much safer to work under someone he knew than under Jiang Yan.

Moreover, from what Jiang Yan said, Li Da Dang knew that Xu Ning had other things to take care of, so he would not have much time to show up throughout the year. In fact, they were still not much different from the original local tyrants.

"Young Master Jiang, are you capable of becoming the master of Xia City?" Headmaster Li tried to test Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan shook his head honestly and explained, "The acquisition of two cities was an accident. My status doesn't allow me to take it. It would be best to give it to her, but I'm not sure if she will accept it. Therefore, for this purpose, I still need Headmaster Li's cooperation."

Li the Hunter finally came to his senses. Seeing Jiang Yan mentioned him, he asked in confusion: "What do I need to cooperate with?"

Li Orion hadn't expected Xu Ning to be this powerful. Just now, as he was lost in thought, he suddenly remembered the telescope Xu Ning had shown him. Thinking carefully, it wasn't hard to understand why Xu Ning could possess something as powerful as explosives.

All this is related to Xu Ning's secret.

Li the Hunter had never thought about knowing Xu Ning's secret before, and now he doesn't want Xu Ning to be imprisoned.

"If it is something that is against the will of heaven, I will not cooperate." Hunter Li said to Jiang Yan firmly.
