Beast Summoner

"Ahem! Your Majesty, what you said is a bit inappropriate!" Li Zhenbang coughed lightly, his voice was a little hoarse and his breath was a little unsteady, but everyone heard it clearly.

"Is it wrong? Why is it wrong?" Zhao Tianlong raised his eyebrows. He was not afraid that Li Zhenbang would raise conditions. He had been waiting, but he was afraid that Li Zhenbang would not raise conditions.

As the saying goes, you have a short hand to take someone, but a short mouth to eat someone. As long as Li Zhenbang opens his mouth and reaches out, things will be much easier for him later.

"Your Majesty, you are so eloquent that you will award everyone who deserves the award, but I..." Li Zhenbang stopped talking.

"Didn't you already win and get 10 million gold coins?" Zhao Tianlong looked at Li Zhenbang proudly.

"Then please give me 10 million! As His Majesty the King, you won't want to be greedy for the fruits of victory that I sacrificed my life for, right?" Li Zhenbang stretched out his right hand, spread his palm, and looked at Zhao Tianlong with a smile.

.

Zhao Tianlong frowned, feeling very surprised. He thought Li Zhenbang would talk to him, but he didn't expect that this guy didn't take the opportunity to ask for anything from him. All he wanted was these crystal cards in his hand.

But the more this happens, the more troublesome it becomes. Everyone can see that he is relatively partial to Mang Ke, and what he does is actually to give Li Zhenbang a chance to speak first. As long as Li Zhenbang asks for something, his momentum will weaken.

A few points, and I can take the opportunity to raise conditions.

As a result, Li Zhenbang didn't play his cards according to common sense at all. He just wanted the 10 million gold coins he won, which put Zhao Tianlong in a bit of a dilemma.

"Ahem... wasn't I about to give it to you?" Zhao Tianlong cleared his throat, smiled awkwardly, and reluctantly handed the crystal card in his hand to Li Zhenbang.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything else? If not, I will leave first." After Li Zhenbang took the crystal card, he put it directly into the space ring without hesitation, as if he was afraid that Zhao Tianlong would regret it.

"Of course I have something to do with calling you here today. As for this duel, it's just an unexpected episode. When are you going to hand over the ghost to me?" Zhao Tianlong leaned forward and asked softly in Li Zhenbang's ear.

"Huh?" Zhao Tianlong frowned because he didn't hear Li Zhenbang's reply.

Zhao Tianlong took a step back and realized that Li Zhenbang had fallen asleep at some point.

He knew very well that Li Zhenbang was pretending to be asleep, but he couldn't go up and wake him up, right? This was really a bit priceless. His Majesty, the King, went to wake up an unofficial man, and it would be nice to say it or not.

Zhao Tianlong gave Li Xuanmiao a hard look, his meaning was very clear, you will deal with your people, then he flicked his sleeves and returned to the Zhengde Hall without looking back.

Huoli Feili glanced at Li Xuanmiao and Li Zhanfeng with gloating, and then walked towards the Zhengde Hall. Others followed suit and walked towards the Zhengde Hall.

It's just that when people pass by people from the Red Maple Leaf family, their behavior is different. Those who shake their heads and sigh are those with a better relationship, while those who laugh are those with a bad relationship. As for those who have a normal relationship, they just pretend they haven't seen them and keep their heads down.

Walk towards Zhengde Hall.

In the blink of an eye, the entire square was empty, with only a few people from the Hong Maple Leaf family and Yang Bing remaining.

"Li Zhenbang, everyone has left, please wake me up quickly!" Li Zhanfeng walked to Li Zhenbang's side and shook Li Zhenbang gently.

Li Zhanfeng came to call him in person, and Li Zhenbang couldn't continue to pretend to be asleep, but he still had to make superficial appearances.

So he stretched and looked at Li Zhanfeng with a confused expression, "I...what's wrong with me?"

"You...you brat!" Seeing Li Zhenbang's expression, Li Zhanfeng pointed at Li Zhenbang helplessly, but did not expose him, "You fell asleep just now. It seems that you slept soundly!"

"Hey! Everyone is gone. This is the end of the court, right? Then I'll leave!" Li Zhenbang pretended not to know anything and stood up from his chair.

"You are dreaming! If the ghost matter is not resolved today, let alone you, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave!" Li Zhanfeng curled his lips.

Li Zhenbang felt his body soften and sat down on the chair again.

"Zhenbang, don't worry, we are still here!" Yang Bing smiled and cheered Li Zhenbang up, but the tangle between his brows was not well concealed.

"That's right, we'll make the decision for you if anything happens!" Omega patted Li Zhenbang's shoulder, his hands full of strength, giving people a strong sense of security.

The four of them, Yang Bing, walked into the Zhengde Hall without any further delay. Although they did not have positions, with their status and strength, they still had a foothold and a certain right to speak in the hall.

"Okay, brat, stop pretending and go! Everyone is waiting for us at Zhengde Hall!" Li Zhanfeng shook his head, grabbed Li Zhenbang's arm, and then dragged Li Zhenbang towards Zhengde Hall without any explanation.

.

The rest of the Hong Maple Leaf family also followed behind. Li Xuanmiao kept a straight face and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

Li Zhenbang felt very bitter at this time. He wanted to use the excuse of coma to escape, but he didn't expect that the old guy Zhao Tianlong was cruel and insisted on playing with him to the end.

In fact, Li Zhenbang discovered the clues when he arrived at the Zhengde Hall early in the morning. His father, the captain of the Imperial Guard, was not there, and neither was his teacher Delileka, the national advisor. However, those very prestigious families who once served for

The empire has made great contributions, but now almost all the old guys who can live out their lives have come.

"Li Zhenbang, are you resting so soon? Do you want me to find someone to move a chair for you to sleep on again? If the chair is uncomfortable, you can ask them to move a bed for you." Seeing Li Zhanfeng pulling Li Zhenbang away.

Entering the Zhengde Hall, Zhao Tianlong couldn't help but tease.

Li Zhenbang was still fine, but Li Zhanfeng's face was a little worried.

Zhao Tianlong's words sounded like good words, but when they were heard, they were completely different.

Logically speaking, with Zhao Tianlong's identity, it was very inappropriate to say this in front of so many people, but he still said it, which shows that Zhao Tianlong was already a little angry at Li Zhenbang's attempt to escape.

"Your Majesty, you are laughing. I was really exhausted just now. After resting for a while, my body has recovered a little. Although I am still a little weak, I can still persist. I don't need this bed, but I can still sit on this chair.

"Li Zhenbang didn't seem to hear the connotation of Zhao Tianlong's words, and responded with a very respectful attitude. Although he didn't ask for a bed, his words sounded like a slap in the face.

"Okay, bring him a chair!" Zhao Tianlong was so angry at Li Zhenbang that he ordered the eunuch again to bring him a chair for Li Zhenbang to sit on.

At this time, except for Zhao Tianlong, Yang Bing and the four saint-level experts, as well as the old guys of Li Xuanmiao's level, the only person sitting in the Zhengde Hall was Li Zhenbang, and his chair was larger than the others.

It's so much better.

Although Li Zhenbang seemed incompatible with this occasion, Li Zhenbang didn't care about it. He still went his own way and sat down in the Taishi chair and leaned on the back of the chair.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am really touched." Li Zhenbang said it pleasantly, but there was no hint of emotion on his face.

"Can you talk about your plan now?" Zhao Tianlong went straight to the point, obviously he didn't want to delay it with Li Zhenbang any longer.

"Plan? Oh! Plan! Next, I plan to vigorously develop the Hong Maple Leaf family's economy. You don't know that our Hong Maple Leaf family will be unable to uncover the pot."

"It's all our clan leader's fault for spending all the family's money to subsidize military expenditures. By the way, when will you approve the military expenditures? We can tighten our belts, but so many soldiers cannot fight on an empty stomach!

"Li Zhenbang put on a look of compassion.

It looks like he is crying for poverty, but in fact he is talking about the contribution of the Maple Leaf family in disguise, and at the same time he is urging military spending.

"This...military expenses...Li Zhenbang, don't change the subject. We are talking about your undead summoned beasts now, not military expenses!" Zhao Tianlong was about to explain, but suddenly found that he was almost taken to the ditch by Li Zhenbang.

Inside.

"I think military strength is the top priority of a country. Without military strength as a guarantee, how can there be harmony and tranquility in the country? So I think that ensuring military strength is much more important than a small summoned beast. If even basic guarantees are not provided

If you don't do it well, I think it's simply putting the cart before the horse and chasing the last when talking about other things." Li Zhenbang shook his head and looked at Zhao Tianlong seriously.

"What you mean is that if the issue of military expenditures is solved, can we talk about ghosts?" Zhao Tianlong looked at Li Zhenbang with a gloomy face.

"Well...that's almost enough." Li Zhenbang pondered for a moment.

Military expenditures plus previous liabilities are almost close to 10 billion gold coins. The country's annual tax revenue is only about 100 billion gold coins at most, but its annual expenditures are almost always in deficit.

Even if Zhao Tianlong has this intention, given the current economic strength of the country, he probably does not have the ability. All expenditures across the country are already very tight. We cannot stop other expenditures and use all the money for military expenditures, right?

"Okay, then let's make it a deal!" Zhao Tianlong's eyes narrowed and he said through gritted teeth.

"A gentleman's words are hard to follow!" Li Zhenbang looked at Zhao Tianlong in surprise. He really didn't expect that Zhao Tianlong would have such courage.

Now that Zhao Tianlong had said this, it was too late for Li Zhenbang to go back on his word, so he could only bite the bullet and accept it. He originally wanted to give Zhao Tianlong an army, but he didn't expect that Zhao Tianlong would give him an army instead.

The most excited people at this time were Li Xuanmiao and Li Zhanfeng, the two military bosses. The most troublesome military expenditure issue was solved so easily by Li Zhenbang, and the most painful one was naturally Zhang Jinhui, the Minister of Finance in charge of money and food.

"Your Majesty, this is not possible!"
