The appearance of Caidie is of course the most beautiful in Lanxi Town, but in Li Ling's opinion, even if she is a little pretty, she is just a jass. This really makes him unable to believe that bullies in those places will really use such despicable means to steal such a woman.

The sick man in front of him was Caidie's father, and he was able to design everyone in a short time. After the incident was exposed, he was extremely calm, which forced Li Ling to consider the deeper inside story. Perhaps these evil slaves came here to make trouble and force the robbery of the common woman, and their real purpose was just an excuse.

Although this was just a speculation and there was no conclusive evidence, Li Ling felt that he should be 70% or 80% sure, so he suddenly raised the problem and stared at the other party without a moment. The sick man was indeed shocked as he asked, and after being stunned, he smiled bitterly: "Mr. Li really has good eyesight, and I am in Mo Li. Although I didn't listen to their confirmation, I also felt that it was fake that Long Si Shao wanted to force his daughter to marry, and it was true that he wanted to take me back!"

Li Ling didn't react because he had never heard of this person, but the Yang brothers at the door were all shocked, turned their heads again, staring at him: "Are you Mo Li? Mo Li in the skynet? The Mo Li who caused the Duan family's vitality to be severely damaged and disrupted the situation in southern Yunnan?"

Listening to them telling some of their fame history, the smile on Mo Li's face became more and more bitter: "I am Mo Li, but Skynet died eight years ago. Now Mo Li is just a small town with many years of illness and lacks self-protection."

This clearly means admitting that he is the Mo Li in their mouths, which makes their faces change again. There is a little awe in his eyes and a little more guarded.

Li Ling was still a little confused, and at this time he could only cough dryly: "Well, who will help you explain it?"

Yang Chen then stepped forward and said, "Young Master doesn't know. If you say that the most popular place in the southwest ten years ago is to gather in the mountains and forests, Chang Hao, the Huntian King of Huntian Village, with more than 100,000 troops under his command, he has his own faction here, so that all forces will win him over and please him, and not sell any face to the court, he will be considered a hegemon."

Li Ling nodded. He had seen the title of King Huntian Chang Hao in some court documents, but that happened many years ago: "As far as I know, wasn't he wiped out eight or nine years ago?"

"It is precisely because the king of Hun Tian was too ambitious and actually tried to annex the entire southwestern provinces, trying to take all Qianzhou, southern Yunnan and Bashu into his own hands. As a result, this not only caused the imperial court to encircle and suppress, but also local officials from other places moved one after another and went out to fight.

"And the most hardworking one among them is the Duan clan in southern Yunnan, because the clan where King Hun Tian is located is within their jurisdiction, and with the years of development, it has attracted all the barbarian tribes that were originally loyal to them. After the frontal war, King Hun Tian also led his army to destroy Duanjia Town, and even the key Anning City was almost captured by several battles, which almost killed the Duan family, which had been rooted in southern Yunnan for hundreds of years.

"But it was precisely because he wanted to destroy Duan that all the elites of the Hun Tianwang were released, which gave Dingxi Hou an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity. He led hundreds of elites into his village and cut off his retreat. In addition, Gao and Long clans helped him, so the Hun Tianwang, who had only been a few years, collapsed internally because of the fall of his nest. In the end, not only did he fail to destroy the Duan clan, but he also lost all his own family."

Li Ling nodded. He naturally saw these past events. Although the country of Dayue is now in its prime and has almost no external threats. However, in terms of internal troubles, the southwest has always been a heart-wrenching problem. Among them, Chang Hao, the King of Huntian who rose more than ten years ago, is the explanatory figure.

Although he had a sudden outbreak, the influence continued until today. It was precisely because of this chaos that the court had less power here, so that the court could not collect tax silver from southern Yunnan now.

But what he cares most now is: "Why do we talk about him? Why did you talk about the head of the Hun Tianwang many years ago?"

"Well, my master doesn't know that there were many talented people under the tent of King Hun at that time, and among them, Mo Li, the most famous of Tianwang, was because of his strategy and very profound calculations. Many of the enemies of King Hun were eliminated by him. Because of his complete calculations, he had the nickname of Tianwang... We originally thought that Mo Li died many years ago with King Hun's defeat, but we didn't expect that he was still alive!" Yang Chen said this, and looked at the sick man in front of him deeply, and it was really impossible to connect the two.

"Skynet" Mo Li was a major criminal who had been famous in the court's department at the time, and the rewards offered by the alive capture amount reached 100,000 taels of silver. From this we can see how powerful he is. But who would have thought that now he is such a sick guy who seems to fall down when the wind blows?

Listening to Yang Chen telling his past, Mo Li's face did not have many expressions, but there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes. Because only he himself knew that what had been entangled with him over the years was not only this old injury, but also the deep pain of living alone after failure.

When the Heavenly King was in great momentum, he advised him not to be too hasty. He should do it slowly and annex the forces in southern Yunnan one by one, and then make the idea of ​​Qianzhou. This is the correct step to truly accomplish a career.

But as a result, as the king of heaven increased his troops, he became more famous, but he was no longer the king of heaven at the beginning. He became eager for quick success and became very happy with achievements. So he had the multi-line attack that was overestimated and the slogan of unifying the southwest. Even though Mo Li tried hard to persuade him several times, it was useless. Instead, he was framed by other guys who were jealous of his merits and status, and was almost killed by the charge of being a foreign enemy.

The final result of the Heavenly King was just like what he was worried about. Under the enemy from all sides, the seemingly powerful Huntian Army quickly collapsed and fled to death. The Heavenly King was also captured and sentenced to death after a great war. Although he escaped by chance, he paid an extremely tragic price for it and was seriously injured. Not to mention his illness, his wife, children and brothers died in the war. In the end, he only escaped with his youngest daughter Caidie, and could only hide his identity and end his life...

"It's time and fate. The success and defeat of the enemy. What kind of Tianwang of the Huntian King and Tianwang Mo Li have long been gone. Now he is just a sick man Mo Li. If you really want to ask me for reward, I will not resist. I just ask you not to hurt my daughter and the innocent town. They don't know my identity and just treat me as a poor person in need of help." Mo Li suddenly sighed softly, and he was very interested in surrendering.

Caidie was completely confused at this moment. As Mo Li's daughter, she really didn't know that her father had such an unusual background. She always thought that her father was just an ordinary person with a smart mind but was sick all year round.

But then, she reacted again and immediately knelt down with a thud: "Please, Mr. Li, please don't take my father away. He is sick now and can't endure hardships anymore. This time, he has no other way to do this..." As she said that, she was so frightened that she wanted to cry and wanted to kowtow, but Li Ling quickly helped her: "Miss Caidie doesn't have to do this, I never said that she would take him to the official."

"Really...really?" Caidie was immediately happy when she heard this, but before she could burst into tears and smile, Li Ling said again: "But what it is depends on his performance. Mr. Mo, do you think so?"

Mo Li was stunned, then he smiled bitterly and patted his daughter's back: "I'm fine, you go out first."

Although Caidie was still very worried, she still left the house after meeting her father's eyes. Shan Shitou outside the door looked anxious and puzzled. When she saw her coming out, she quickly pulled her hand to ask about the situation. However, Caidie naturally would not tell him the truth at this moment, but she just kept shaking her head.

"What do you want from me?" After his daughter left, Mo Li's expression changed again. From the depressedness just now, he became more powerful. He was like a knife that had been rusted for many years but had been worn out with rust. A sharp edge burst out.

Li Ling looked at him and said, "Let's talk about why today is there first. It's obvious that the other party has seen your talent and even seen through your identity, so he thought about recruiting him, right? So, what's going on?"

Under such circumstances, Mo Li could only answer honestly: "Two months ago, the county sent someone to collect taxes, and one of them was a young man who called himself the fourth young master Long, who lived in my town for two days. During this period, he wanted to be ill-treasoned to his little girl, but happened to be rescued by Shi Tou.

"In order not to cause trouble to the town, I could only take action and use some things in his Long family to point out his faults, and then threaten them to get rid of the person. I thought that the matter would have passed, but unexpectedly, just a few days ago, the villagers who went to the county town brought a message that the Fourth Young Master Long was still obsessed with Caidie, and actually intended to force her to marry her with the tax silver we owe. In fact, when the news came back, I vaguely guessed that his target was not Caidie, but me. It must be someone around him who saw my ability, and even guessed my identity, so he wanted to recruit me to his subordinates. As for Caidie, it was just an excuse they found or a means to restrain me.
