Shou'an Hall.
The atmosphere is quiet and you can hear the needle drop.
In the palace, except for one shadow guard, there were no other servants.
The contact between the Great Shang Emperor and the world's number one killer organization was not really a glorious thing.
The imperial power has always faced the world with a majestic and upright image, while the killer organization is an evil ghost walking in the darkness. The two seem to have conflicts in terms of interests and temperament.
However, there is never absolute light or absolute darkness in this world. Behind the absolute light, the hidden darkness is often more filthy and gloomy.
Just like the Dashang royal family, behind the seemingly bright light, there is also an assassination organization like the Shadow Guard that does all kinds of evil.
Unfortunately, after hunting geese all day long, they were pecked by geese. The Shadow Guards encountered a more professional and dark organization like Yanyulou, and were turned upside down.
"Price?"
At the chess table, Emperor Shang narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the man in front of him. He said, "Your Excellency, you can give me a reference price."
Qingping smiled slightly and responded, "Let's put it this way, the price paid by the buyer this time for the Shadow Guard is in the millions. As for the specific price, it is not convenient to disclose it. The head of the Li family has countless masters around him. He wants to Killing him is very difficult, not to mention that the head of the Li family was poisoned before, which made the Li family wary."
At this point, Qingping paused and continued, "Your Majesty Dashang, I have to say that King Xuanwu was really stupid to attack the head of the Li family before. Since he can't kill with one blow, don't scare the snake. To be honest with your Majesty, these On that day, there were many people who gave Yanyu Tower a quote and asked Yanyu Tower to kill Li Wanwan. However, King Xuanwu made such a fuss before. I, Yanyu Tower, want to take over this business, so I have to think carefully about it. If the price is not enough, it is impossible. Got it."
After hearing what the former said, Emperor Shang put the black stones in his hand on the chessboard. Without any nonsense, he directly quoted, "One million."
"not enough."
Qingping shook her head and responded, "It's too different. If King Xuanwu attacked the head of the Li family, we might have been able to negotiate the price. Now, there is no possibility."
"Two million."
Shang Huang picked up another chess piece from the chess box, placed it on the chess board, and said he increased the price.
"not enough."
Qingping shook her head again and responded, "Your Majesty, adding one million to one million is too petty."
When Emperor Shang heard this, he frowned slightly. Two million silver taels were not enough.
When cooperating with Yanyulou, the money cannot be withdrawn from the national treasury, but can only be withdrawn from the royal family's private treasury. Two million taels of silver is not a small amount, and it will take some days to raise money from the royal family's private treasury.
"I will consider this matter again."
After thinking for a short time, Emperor Shang gathered his thoughts and said, "Let's do it. One million taels, Yanyulou kills one person for me, and Li Yuan's red candle. If the task is successful, we can continue to discuss other cooperation."
"A million?"
Qingping hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I, Yanyulou, have some knowledge of this person. She is responsible for the dispatch of intelligence personnel in the Li family. She is not weak in cultivation and is good at using poison. She is not easy to deal with. That's all, for the sake of it. As a matter of friendship for our first cooperation, I, Yanyulou, have taken over this task and will deliver the result to His Majesty within a month."
"A month?"
Emperor Shang looked strange and asked, "Why does it take so long?"
"Intelligence collection and manpower arrangements all take time, especially intelligence collection. This woman's status in the Li family is not low. If we want to kill her, without enough intelligence, something could easily happen."
Qingping patiently replied, "Your Majesty, it's only a month, not a long time. I, Yanyulou, still have the say in this kind of matter. If you want to ensure the success of the mission, you can't be in a hurry."
"good."
Shang Huang thought for a while, nodded and said, "I will wait for a month. I hope Yanyu Tower will not disappoint me."
"Of course."
Qingping responded, then bowed politely and said, "If your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."
"Send the distinguished guest out of the palace."
Emperor Shang looked at the Shadow Guard on the side and ordered.
"yes!"
The Shadow Guard took the order and stepped forward to see off the guests.
The two then left and walked outside the palace.
"Yanyu Tower, Li Family."
In the Shou'an Palace, Emperor Shang frowned as he looked at the chess game on the table.
One is as rich as the enemy, and the other collects money to buy lives. If they work closely together, it will be really troublesome.
Let Yanyulou kill Hongzhu, even if it cannot completely destroy the cooperation between the two, it will definitely make the Li family feel grudge.
At the same time, Li Garden, the inner courtyard.
Li Ziye and Hongzhu sat in rows and ate fruits together.
"Xiao Ziye, you have become lazy since you came back this time."
Hongzhu moved the fruit plate slightly towards her and criticized rudely, "Normally, if you are fine, you would be practicing your sword."
"Aren't I injured?"
Li Ziye moved his butt next to Hongzhu, reached out and took a green stem and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he said, "Besides, I am now on the verge of entering the fifth realm. I am afraid that if I continue to practice, I accidentally broke the boundary.”
"Just break it, why are you so cowardly?"
Hongzhu sneered with disdain, "You don't really think that there will be a catastrophe when you enter the Five Realms, do you? Xiao Ziye, please relax, it's impossible, that's only for the proud ones of Little Red Riding Hood's level. You think too much about my treatment!"
"..."
Li Ziye rolled his eyes and said, "Who are you looking down on? I am also the destined son of this era, appointed by the Confucian leader and the Book of Heaven!"
"It's not the first time that the old man has deceived people."
Hongzhupi said with a smile, "Four years ago, he said that you would be fine if you went north. You believed it, but as a result, you almost got cold."
"Isn't this cool? It shows that Confucian Master's calculation is quite accurate."
Li Ziye argued with reason, "Sister Hongzhu, you are just jealous of my status as the destined son."
"hehe."
Hongzhu smiled soullessly and said, "Envy you? Envy you for what? Envy your eight meridians that are blocked? Envy you not taking a shower for two months when you went north?"
"Don't slap people in the face when you hit them, don't expose their shortcomings when you scold them!"
When Li Ziye heard this, he immediately became furious and said angrily, "Sister Hongzhu, pay attention to your quality!"
"Quality? Why are you so embarrassed?"
Just as Hongzhu was about to reply, her eyes suddenly focused and she looked outside the courtyard.
But outside the inner courtyard, at some point, a figure in green robe appeared, respectfully saluted, "Young Master!"
"Uncle Qing?"
When Li Ziye saw the person coming, he smiled and said, "Have we discussed it?"
"Um."
Qingping stepped into the inner courtyard, looked at the two people in front of her, and said softly, "Shang Huang, you want us to kill Hongzhu."
"kill me?"
Hongzhu was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, "What are you doing? Why are you killing me? I just eat some fruit every day, but it can also lead to death? Is there any king's method?"
