"Oh, no wonder you are missing a left hand. Between your eyebrows, you also look very similar to the official dragon picture. I looked familiar to you just now..." Gongsun Shenjian said, "This hand of yours is really that of Lingzu." Did you cut it off with your own hands?"
"Yes." Shangguan Wuji nodded.
"Your ancestor is really selfless, and he can be so ruthless to his own grandchildren... However, your ancestor has great medical skills and has saved countless lives. I have always admired him very much, so that's all. Since it's you, then Just give me another one million taels for free." Gongsun Chenchen gritted his teeth and beat his chest and feet.
With just these two words, two million silver was gone, but there are two young men here. The two of them I rely on are not disciples of the Murong family and the Nangong family, right?
If everyone is given another one million taels of face, wouldn't this old man's visit be in vain? This business is going to be a huge loss!
"Old sir, please relax, Xiao Ye is an orphan, but he is not a child of an aristocratic family. I am the son of a criminal, and I am not a member of an aristocratic family." Lin Qi saw Gongsun Shen looking at him with panic, so he took the initiative to speak out. He is relieved.
"That's good, that's good, oh my, I'm so scared to death!" Gongsun Shenwen patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.
"If the old gentleman is willing to help, one million taels of silver will definitely be given to you!" Xiao Chen finally cut him in the middle, gritting his teeth and almost beating his chest.
"Sigh... I walked such a long way for a mere one million taels of silver. It's really not worth it." Gongsun Shenjing sighed, "But I'm lucky enough to get to know two disciples from aristocratic families. It's finally worth my while. ... In your military camp, it would be nice to have two glasses of hot wine."
This is a promise.
"Yes, yes, Lin Qi, go and invite the prince, and prepare a banquet. Let's take care of the old man!" Xiao Chen was very happy to have the business deal, "Old sir, please move to my tent. It’s more spacious there.”
"Old Mr. Sen." Ouyang Yunyi pinched his nose and said, "Before eating, can you take a shower and change clothes?"
It's not that Yun Yi is picky, but the smell on Gongsun Shen's feet is too unpleasant and may affect his appetite.
"Haha, I don't dislike you for being dirty, but you dislike me first?" Gongsun Chenbing said lightly, "I'm just dirty on my body, but how does it compare with the hearts of the world? Even on your hands, you are all dirty. How many people’s blood has been stained, but is it dirty?”
Several people really couldn't refute his words...
But after Gongsun Shenwen changed his clothes, he really looked like an outsider. Li Qiu heard that he was Gongsun Shenwen, who was known as the fourth most skilled craftsman in the world, and he even admired him for a long time.
I thought to myself, Brother Xiao, you really know everything about the world, you know everyone.
I just don’t know what Mr. Gongsun is doing here.
"I came here to make a deal with the prince and the marquis." Gongsun Chenwen said in a bleak tone. "Although the deal has been concluded, I am not very happy in my heart, so I asked for two glasses of water and wine to drink. To shed sorrow."
"What kind of deal?" Li Qiu was stunned.
"Big business, what Mr. Gongsun means here is..." Xiao Chen explained to Li Qiu, but of course he did not mention Xiao Xinghan's name. He just said that Gongsun was seriously ill and had a clever plan to break the city, but he asked for some... …
"Oh, this is a great thing!" Li Qiu was overjoyed when he heard this, "If we can conquer Baisha City, one million taels of silver is really..." He originally wanted to say that one million taels of silver is really not much, but suddenly Feeling Xiao Chen kicking him under the table, he quickly changed his words, "It's a bit too much, but it's hard to manage."
"Why is it that the business I negotiated with Xiao Chen doesn't count anymore?" Gongsun Shenwen was very angry.
"Keep count, count." Li Qiu said hurriedly, "Since Xiao Chen has already negotiated with you, then Xiao Wang, I will put together this sum of money to give to you sir no matter what, and I will never default on your debt!"
It is impossible for a prince or a marquis to not count what he says personally.
At that moment, Li Qiu asked Gongsun for advice on how to break the city.
"Actually, it's not difficult to say." Gongsun Shenyan said, "Just dig a few tunnels and lead directly to the city."
Huh... Several people looked at each other in dismay after hearing this. Digging tunnels was a useless idea? If we could dig it out, we would have dug it long ago. Do we still need to give you one million taels of silver?
"Mr. Gongsun, it's cold and freezing, so it's not suitable to dig holes. Besides, it's easy to be discovered and destroyed by others. We've discussed this many times, and it's something we can't do..." Li Qiu said, "If there's any other clever idea, Please enlighten me again.”
"This is the only way, there is no other way!" Gongsun Shen said.
"Hey, old man, are you talking drunkenly?" Ouyang Yunyi said angrily, "With such a bad idea, how dare you ask us for one million taels of silver?"
I want to blind you, you bad old man, I won’t give you a hundred taels!
"It's five million taels." Gongsun Chenwen held out five fingers to correct Yun Yi's words, "It's just for you, for him, for the hundreds of thousands of lives in and outside the city, and for all the people in the world... I reluctantly agreed. It's only one million taels, but the wine is just average. After drinking it, you can say a few drunken words."
Seeing everyone staring at him, he smiled slightly and said calmly, "Do you know what the original name of Baisha City was?"
"Luolongpo." Xiao Chen blurted out.
"By the way, it's Luolongpo." Gongsun Shenwen nodded, "But do you also know the origin of this name?"
No one knows this, not even Xiao Chen.
"It is said that thousands of years ago, a divine dragon descended from the sky and landed on a hillside. It burrowed into the soil and disappeared. Therefore, later generations called the hillside Luolong Slope. Everyone thought that since there was a divine dragon here, then This place must be a geomantic treasure, and word of mouth spread, people came to settle here, and it gradually became a city."
"That person asked, is there really a divine dragon hidden under Baisha City?" In fact, no one asked him at all, he just asked and answered himself, "Of course not, because it has not appeared for thousands of years. , although there is no divine dragon, it is a geomantic treasure land. King Langya used this as his capital back then..."
"King Langya?" Ouyang Yunyi was surprised, "Is it Duan Fengnian?"
"Duan Fengnian is a shitty king?" Gongsun Shen said. "I'm talking about Gao Changgong, the leader of the Qiang tribe at that time. He was also a tycoon of his generation, far beyond what Duan Fengnian could compare to. The former Emperor Zhu Chuan of the Han Dynasty sent Lord Li Chang to follow him. He fought for three full years before finally killing him, and the Qiang tribe was forced to retreat outside Yangguan..."
"I also know about Gao Changgong, but I heard that he didn't seem to be dead, but ran away." Xiao Chen vaguely remembered that his father and Marquis Li Chang had talked about this matter, and they also said that Gao Changgong was extremely powerful.
In order to capture Langya County, the Han soldiers suffered heavy casualties. However, when the city was breached, Gao Changgong was nowhere to be found alive and his body was missing. His whereabouts are a mystery.
