In the large box, three brothers, Li Xiao, Li Xiu and Li Hu, were sitting. The scene was terrifyingly dull. Li Xiao picked up the teacup and blew the foam from it.

Li Xiu crossed his hands on his thighs and kept stirring his thumbs.

Li Hu smoked puff after puff, and the smoke he exhaled almost surrounded him.

The door of the box suddenly opened, and Li Hao walked in. Seeing his brothers, he bared his teeth in amusement. His teeth were very white against his dark skin, dazzlingly white.

"Hello, eldest brother! Hello, second brother! Hello, third brother!" After asking around, they seemed to be frightened by the dull scene, and stood there dumbly, not knowing what to say.

"Fourth! Sit down." Li Xiao pointed to the seat next to him, and Li Hao quickly took off his hat and sat down.

"All our brothers are here today, third brother! What do you have to say about your situation?" Li Xiao put down his tea cup and looked at Li Hu, who kept smoking.

"I did it. I just wanted to lead my brothers to build a territory. Big brother, it doesn't matter what you do to me. Don't do anything to my brothers. I took them to Egypt, and I am responsible for everything."

Li Xiao glanced at Li Hu. Men in the Li family have never lacked this sense of responsibility. But...

"Huzi! My parents are gone and I am the eldest brother. I just want to ask you if you want to separate the family."

"Brother!" Li Xiu's expression changed immediately, and Li Hao stood up in shock.

The cigarette held between Li Hu's fingers fell on the table, and the ashes burst into a large cloud.

Nowadays, the world of the Li family was brought down by Li Xiao single-handedly. Although many things are in the name of the imperial court, everyone in the world knows that those are the commander-in-chief's. It can be said that Li Xiao is now the emperor of the emperor.

It sounds a bit hard to pronounce, but it is an indisputable fact.

Since ancient times, a country cannot live without a king for a day, but now the Ming Dynasty has been without an emperor for several years. No one mentioned this matter, and everyone chose to forget it deliberately. The topic of the throne has become a taboo in the court, and no one brings it up without opening their eyes.

Talk about things.

Everyone believed that the Ming Dynasty had ceased to exist in name only. Li Xiao's only step away from the title of emperor was to go to the Temple of Heaven to say a word to God and then sit in his seat in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Even Sun Chengzong thought so.

Now Li Xiao suddenly said that he wants to separate the family! How?

Since ancient times, emperors have been very independent in their power. The father kills the son, and the son kills the father. The brother kills the younger brother, and the younger brother kills the younger brother. Trouble caused the Xiaoqiang, and the history of the Tian family's tragedy of fratricide is endless.

Could it be said that the Li family is also inevitably cursed by the Tian family?

"Brother...!" Li Hao's lips trembled and he stood there like a wooden pile.

"Brother, the third child is a bit reckless. But his idea is also good. As long as the canal is built...!"

"I know! It's none of your business, sit down!" Li Xiao glared at Li Xiu angrily, and Li Xiu sat down on the chair helplessly.

"Third brother! Mr. Hu! You are very manly and bachelor! I am responsible for everything. Don't make it difficult for my brothers.

I am your eldest brother. Have you ever thought that it would be difficult for me to do this? Go and see what the family members look like when they come to collect the ashes. Fathers and mothers come to me for sons, and women come to me for husbands. Children who are not even knee high,

Holding my thighs and asking for daddy.

What should I give in return! Tell me, what should I give in return to them...!

A seven-foot-tall man turned into such a small jar of ashes and brought back. How do you want me to explain to them!"

"You're broken and I'm fine!" Li Hu stood up eagerly.

"They can survive if you die, but I would have killed you long ago." Li Xiao also stood up, with veins popping out on his neck.

"Wealth can be found in danger! They all agreed upon it when they left." Li Hu stood up and roared like a tiger.

"You want to take over a country that has a history of thousands of years with a few hundred people? You got kicked in the head by a donkey! The population of the entire Muslim world is as large as the stars in the sky. Have you finished killing them?"

"I don't want to kill them, I just want to close the canal."

"That's other people's land. Someone occupied Liaodong and said they wanted to use it to grow food. What are you doing?"

"That's the desert!"

"What do you do for a living in the desert?"

The two brothers were like fighting cocks. You and I wouldn't give in to each other's words. Li Xiu and Li Hao stood on the side and looked dumbfounded. No one had ever dared to talk to Li Xiao like this. Under normal circumstances, the argument with Li Xiao was not over.

, people go to hell.

Shunzi stood at the door like a nail, and the guards looked at him in silence, staring ahead and becoming selectively deaf.

"Pah!" Li Xiao was so angry that his face turned purple, and he slapped Li Hu on the face.

"I...!" Li Hu's eyes widened, but he still didn't dare to strike with his raised hand.

"Brother! Big brother!" Li Hao hugged Li Xiao's waist. He had strong muscles and bones from years of hard work in the wild. Li Xiao couldn't break free even when he struggled!

"Huzi! How can you talk to your elder brother like this?" Li Xiu hugged Li Hu and pressed Li Hu on the chair with both arms.

"Let me go! He saved our lives from the Tatars, and everything we have today is from him. Let him kill me! Break me!" Li Hu, who was held down, kept shouting.

With.

"What the hell...!" Li Xiao pulled out his revolver.

"Brother!" Li Hao was so frightened that he quickly grabbed Li Xiao's hand and held it down with all his strength.

"Fourth! Don't stop him, let him hit him here." Li Hu pointed at his forehead and yelled at Li Xiao with his eyes wide open.

"I'll kill you...!"

"Bang!"

There was a gunshot, and the door was immediately knocked open. The guards poured in like a tide, and they were dumbfounded when they saw the situation in front of them.

Li Hao hugged Li Xiao tightly and held down Li Xiao's hand. Li Xiu pressed Li Hu tightly and stood in front of Li Hu. The guards tied their hands and didn't know what to do.

"Shunzi, what the hell are you doing standing there? Arrest the third child and take him out!" Li Xiu yelled at the top of his lungs when he saw Shunzi barging in.

"Uh...! No!" Shunzi saw Li Xiao's eyes turned red and knew that Li Xiao could really kill Li Hu if this continued.

Immediately waving to his guards, several guards rushed over and cut off Li Hu's arms, and escorted Li Hu out. Li Xiu slowed down, broke open Li Xiao's hand, took the revolver and handed it to Shunzi.

"Brother! Please calm down. The third child shouldn't contradict you. If you want to hit or scold you, just don't use the gun." Helping Li Xiao sit on the chair, Li Xiu looked like he was always on guard.

"Hundreds of lives!

How many Aka rifles had he lost? They were picked up by the Egyptians and given to Wu Sangui. A replica would be out within a few months! Fortunately, the production of the Maxim heavy machine gun was limited and strict. Otherwise, if Maxim was taken there, he would be

When the Egyptians captured it, the excitement became even greater.

Tell me, our Ming Dynasty is now being chased desperately by the British. I am a day and night defense, but he has delivered a door-to-door delivery."

"He is also doing it for the good of our Ming Dynasty. Having that canal is indeed a great benefit." Li Xiu took the tea poured by Li Hao and handed it to Li Xiao's hand.

"I don't know that the canal will be of great benefit. But a four-hundred-mile canal can be dug in a day or two? The matter in India has not yet been resolved, and the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty cannot yet leave the sea outside Singapore. At this time

, talk about the fucking canal.

Let’s conquer India honestly, let’s talk about the canal. That bastard Wu Sangui is now the King of India. Last month, the Queen of England wanted to transfer him away. The people sent by the Queen of England were assassinated as soon as they landed.

Now he is in India, armed with fifteen elite divisions. They are completely based on our organization, and the weapons are also standard rifles. Mortars, rocket launchers, and long-barreled guns for siege. Except for the howitzer, it is still a secret to him.

Other than that, there are only Aka rifles and Maxims.

Now, the Akha rifles have been seized by the Egyptians. Let me tell you! Those rifles will definitely appear in front of Wu Sangui. He only needs to let the engineers from Oxford and Cambridge reversely copy them, and they can be mass-produced in less than half a year. By then, our

The advantage is a little smaller.

Why should I fight desperately to the west? Is it not to open the northern passage to India as soon as possible and attack India as soon as possible! Only by conquering India, our Ming Dynasty will no longer lack labor force. Moreover, we can also eradicate Wu Sangui, a life-or-death enemy.

But look what he has done? He went to the Middle East early to provoke those Muslims and make them hate our Ming Dynasty. Let them unite with Wu Sangui!

Napoleon had two tools for fighting. If he had been given second-hand weapons discarded by our troops in the past, he could have easily defeated the Egyptians.

But now...! Just wait and see, Wu Sangui will definitely help the Egyptians vigorously. If you want Napoleon to gain a foothold in Egypt and prevent the British from controlling Egypt, you have to give Napoleon real materials.

There are a lot of things that I can’t tell you in detail. Anyway, if he makes a fuss like this, we will be much more passive." Li Xiao wanted to get angry and threw the tea cup away.

Li Xiu and Li Hao had no choice. Li Hu had gone too far, but they couldn't watch him being shot by Li Xiao.

"Brother! You calm down the fire first. We'll talk about this later. The fourth brother doesn't go back to the capital very often. A few months ago, he found the mummy of a beautiful Loulan woman in Loulan. Let the fourth brother drink two cups with the elder brother.

Big brother, let’s talk about interesting things about the northwest.

Shunzi! Let me serve the wine." Li Xiu greeted Shunzi without waiting for Li Xiao's consent.

Shunzi glanced at Li Xiao and saw that Li Xiao had no objection, so he quickly ordered the people around him to do it.

"Grandpa! I heard that there was a fight over in the Li family and they were all using guns. Why don't you go and try to persuade me?" Sun Zhijie walked into Sun Chengzong's study with a bowl of ginseng soup and put it on the table while rubbing Sun Chengzong's shoulders.

said.

"You silly boy, that's the Li family's own business, why should I care about it? When brothers fight, they are still brothers. Who am I, an outsider!

What is the most taboo thing about the Li family? It is outsiders interfering in the affairs between the Li family brothers. Besides, Li Hu is really too courageous this time. He dared to lead hundreds of people on an expedition to Egypt. Isn't this a joke!

"

"It's because I fought too well in the past and thought I was invincible. Huzi has such a temper. To put it bluntly, he is childish."

"Hmph! The big victory was won by Li Xiao, but which victory was won by Li Hu. I know that you and Li Hu are classmates at the Army Officer School, and we always hang out together.

I'm warning you! You are not allowed to get involved in Li Hu's affairs. Even if Li Xiao shoots Li Hu, you are not allowed to get involved. Do you understand?" Sun Chengzong warned Sun Zhijie with a very solemn expression.
