Chapter 229: Li Er: Who Is This, So Arrogant?

"So many?"

At the traffic light, Lin Dao turned his head to look out the car window.

In the bed of a cargo truck, scrapped and discarded shared bicycles were packed full.

Layer upon layer, packed tight.

Su Tongtong, who was holding a tissue and wiping shoe prints off the starry sky roof, followed his gaze.

"Actually, most of them can still be used."

"If repaired properly, even more could be used."

"But there's no way around it; there are just too many of these things."

Leaning against the seat, staring at those shared bicycles, Lin Dao looked thoughtful.

Having skillfully tied up Lin Dao's favorite high ponytail, Su Tongtong asked curiously, "You've taken a liking to them?"

"Mm."

Lin Dao nodded. "I feel these things should have a market in Africa."

The African market he spoke of was the different-timespace market.

Simple, convenient, easy to get the hang of — they are good traffic tools.

Actually, several decades ago, this was the most important traffic tool in the Central Plains; it's just that times changed too fast, and now they've actually become luxury goods.

It's just that road conditions, some are too poor.

But the little devils could ride bicycles to wage lightning war; it should be usable.

"You're so amazing~~~"

Su Tongtong's eyes were full of admiration. "Even these discarded industrial products can be sold."

The green light came on.

Lin Dao drove forward. "As long as it's an industrial product, I can basically sell it all."

In a technologically backward era, the demand for advanced industrial products is huge.

These words of his weren't entirely empty boasting.

Of course, industrial products like the Grandson's Death Bag probably truly have no sales channel.

Unless repurposed for other uses.

Water pouch?

"Hotel or home?"

"To your place~ I like cooking for you to eat~~"

Putting away the torn silk stockings, Su Tongtong held up a moisturizing spray and spritzed her face. "Can't let loose outside."

Sure enough, a successful man always encounters gentle and considerate women.

They never actively ask for money or gifts, and even thoughtfully cook, care for you, and give gifts.

This really is a different kind of scenery.

The next day at noon, after eating the meal Su Tongtong had made, Lin Dao drove to his own company.

The previous shell company has now been upgraded.

Not only did it move into a business district, but it even has over a dozen employees sitting in the office.

This doesn't even count the salesmen running business outside, going everywhere to negotiate prices and purchase goods.

Seeing the often-invisible boss come over, the atmosphere in the office changed rapidly.

Everyone was extremely busy, phones ringing non-stop everywhere, a scene of bustling activity.

Standing before the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, gazing at the surrounding high-rise buildings packed densely together, Lin Dao's mood gradually relaxed.

The sound of high heels striking the floor transmitted over.

A female secretary in a professional suit came in carrying tea.

"Boss~"

"These are the recent company transaction records~"

Flawless in appearance, figure, and attitude, even speaking with a hint of coquettish voice, the female secretary was very enthusiastic.

Blinking her eyes, she leaned closer; the scent of Chanel perfume came with her.

Lin Dao rubbed his nose.

This perfume scent is somewhat familiar.

Seems like Su Tongtong uses this brand too.

"You go be busy."

The slightly disappointed secretary left.

Lin Dao sat down, opened the computer, and began checking information regarding scrapped shared bicycles.

In many pictures, the scrapped shared bicycles were piled like mountains.

They have already been completely discarded as industrial waste.

"Free, a bit difficult."

"Wholesale should be pretty cheap."

After finishing the busy work, Lin Dao left the company for the warehouse.

Carrying supplies and data, heading to different timespaces.

Several days later, Lin Dao once again arrived at the Wude Timespace.

"Brother Zi Hou."

Li Erfeng, with oil sheen on his hair and a strange smell on him, stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically.

"Already prepared, can attack the city at any time."

"Good." Lin Dao laughs "My side is ready at any time too."

The various engineering vehicles he ordered had long since arrived, and were transferred to the Yonghe Spacetime's warehouse for storage.

Whenever needed, they can be driven over at any time.

If the breaching vehicles don't work, there are still various other vehicles on standby.

It's merely a small rammed earth wall, that's all.

Even a bronze gate could be smashed open.

Although these engineering vehicles are expensive, using them is truly comfortable.

City Exterior of Luoyang, Dingding Gate.

Before the city gate tower, Wang Shichong with blue eyes and yellow beard, high cheekbones and high nose, coldly watches the Tang Army arrayed in formation outside the city.

"Hmph."

"Insulting my Great Zheng as having no one?"

Zhu Can, eyes full of bloodshot, steps forward in response "Your Majesty's divine might has heaven's help, Luoyang is impregnable."

"The Li Tang thieves are in a rush to come send themselves to death, Your Majesty shows kindness, sending them on their way is all."

Duan Da, Yang Wang and others on both sides burst into laughter in agreement.

If the Li Tang first remove the outer perimeter, cut off reinforcement supplies, then surround to starve Luoyang City, that would be truly life-threatening.

But now they impatiently come to attack the city, that is seeking death.

Do they really think Luoyang City's defense works are made of paper?

Wang Shichong, narrowing his eyes, strokes his beard and smiles "Not bad."

"Since it is so, then We will show kindness, send them to die."

In the Tang Army formation outside the city, a rider raises his whip and gallops forward.

Reaching beyond bow and crossbow range, he shouts from afar toward the city gate tower urging surrender.

The comer has an extremely loud voice, specially selected for this.

Wang Shichong on the city gate tower, hearing the urging to surrender, also frowns tightly.

He has already become Emperor, who else can he surrender to?

What era is this, still thinking it's the Han Wei Alternation?

Those who become Emperor and still surrender, which one has a good ending!

"Noisy!"

Wang Shichong in a deep voice "Tell that milk-smelling unweaned little baby Tang Tongzi, hurry up and come send himself to death!"

The city top guard army shouts in unison.

"Tang Tongzi Tang Tongzi, quickly come die~"

Li Shimin is very young, this year only twenty-one.

So young, yet already a grand army commander, a famous general who has destroyed numerous forces.

Hard to say anything about ability, so attack him from age.

Inside Luoyang City, the address for Li Erfeng is Tang Tongzi~

The Li Tang's child.

Hearing the opposite side's shouts, Lin Dao turns his head to look at Li Erfeng with a full face of whiskers.

"You keep a beard, couldn't it be to make yourself look more mature?"

Li Erfeng's face skin, obviously twitches.

"Brother Zi Hou jokes." Li Erfeng turns his head to look over "This is manliness."

Lin Dao nods, expressing agreement.

A full face of whiskers, is ten thousand times stronger than the effeminate eating peaches.

"Erfeng don't get angry."

Lin Dao kindly comforts "Older age doesn't mean stronger ability, only shows they eat more."

"When Huo Qubing was your age, he could fight even better."

The generals four years older, eyelids jumping wildly.

Li Erfeng himself also extinguished the anger rising in his heart, embarrassed and smiling.

"Huo Piaoji divine martial extraordinary, Shimin, how dare compare shoulders."

The two characters Shimin, bitten very heavily.

"Rest assured Erfeng."

Lin Dao nods "When we capture Wang Shichong, I'll invite him to a big meal."

Li Erfeng raises his head wipes his face, expression serious, fists cupped "Trouble Brother Zi Hou to breach the city!"

In order to breach Luoyang City, he urgently recalled the various departments dispersed outside, thoroughly disrupting the previous deployment orders.

If it fails, that will be trouble.

Lin Dao rides his horse forward, posture leisurely.

Leading reinforcements, Li Yuanji who arrived the day before yesterday, rides forward "Second Brother, who is this person, looking truly arrogant."

"No rudeness allowed."

For this fourth brother who caused the loss of Bingzhou through reckless behavior, incompetent and bad, Li Erfeng very much looks down on him.

"Third Brother, you remember."

"In front of him, absolutely no causing trouble."

"Otherwise, I can't save you either!"

Li Yuanji sneered, not caring at all.

Second Brother looks down on me, and I look down on you too!

No matter how capable you are at fighting, won't you still be Eldest Brother's subject in the future?

I only need to get on good terms with Eldest Brother, and my status will surely be higher than yours later!

The young Li Yuanji's thoughts bore some resemblance to characters in female-oriented novels.

He always felt that, under the rigid rules and regulations, Li Erfeng couldn't stir up any waves.

What he didn't understand was that the biggest difference between Li Erfeng and him and Li Jiancheng lay in the fact that Li Erfeng himself wasn't an employee, but was more like a partner with Li Yuan.

At the very least, he held real power; many capable employees were willing to work with him, and he could pull them out at any time to start on his own — a strong person.

People like Li Yuanji, on the other hand, only gained power by relying on their mother's favor.

In the Company of Great Tang, he was just an idiot.

An idiot trying to suppress the most capable General Manager and one of the company's Founders — such a thing would only happen in a brainless female-oriented novel.

Do they really think capable people are weak-willed, that after being slapped in the face they'd turn the other cheek like soft-footed shrimp?

That they can be casually manipulated and bullied like in a female-oriented novel?

The person would just flip the table, and the company would go bankrupt!

Lin Dao rode his horse to a position outside bow and crossbow range.

He dismounted, patted the horse's buttocks to send the warhorse back, and stepped on the ground turning two circles.

The Zheng Army on the city tower, and the many Tang Army soldiers behind him, all looked on in bewilderment.

What is he doing?

Having chosen a good spot, Lin Dao vanished without a trace in full view of everyone.

After a brief silence, an uproar rose from all sides.

Li Erfeng, Cheng Zhijie, Qie Tong, and the others all reached out to put eye masks on their warhorses.

Li Yuanji rubbed his eyes hard. "Where is he?!"

"Don't rush." Li Erfeng smiled. "He'll be back in a moment."

"Steady now, don't get scared out of your wits when the time comes."

Li Yuanji was about to say he was the bravest of the Three Armies, who could scare him?

The next moment, a colossal giant object without equal suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

Li Yuanji's jaw dropped at once.

The sudden appearance of a small mountain brought tremendous shock to both the attacking and defending sides.

Before the astonished Li Yuanji could ask, Li Erfeng and the others took out reed fluff and stuffed it into their warhorses' ears.

The next moment, the engine's roar rang out, loud as thunder.

"Xixili~~~"

The warhorses stimulated by the roar shook their heads, reared, and snorted, a scene of chaos.

Li Yuanji and the others, who had never seen a breaching vehicle before, hurriedly tried to control their horses.

Li Yuanji's warhorse was tall and strong, its coat glossy, looking mighty and extraordinary.

Yet at this moment it behaved in an extremely wretched manner.

Jumping and leaping wildly, it even threw Li Yuanji off its back.

Fortunately he wore armor, and wasn't thrown off while galloping, so Li Yuanji didn't suffer any injury.

But his expression was very ugly.

Looking around at the crowd who had plugged their horses' ears, his face was terrifyingly dark.

You deliberately played me!

Li Erfeng didn't even glance at him.

His gaze fixed dead on the giant object that had already begun moving forward.

On the high-raised crane arm, the suspended iron ball swayed to and fro, making one's heart tremble along with it.

If this thing smashed onto a person~~~

"Hiss~~~"
