Outside the inn,
The moon is bright and clear,
The shadowy figure froze in place, not moving even an inch.
At this moment, his face was gloomy, and he seemed to have lost his direction.
After an unknown amount of time, he flashed away and left Heshan County, unknown to where he was going.
"Old Liu, are you sure these people are destined to be unable to replace the blood jade?"
"What do you think?"
Hong Laoliu curled his lips in disdain, clapped his hands on the table, and several peanuts drew an arc in the air and were thrown into his mouth with great accuracy.
As he chewed, he said:
"Boy, you must remember clearly that everything in the world has its own lifespan, and no one can escape it."
"This Blood Jade Alliance is nothing more than a bunch of evil-minded people who want to change their fate against the will of heaven and seek immortality."
"But everyone knows that there is a destiny in the dark."
Yang Dong frowned slightly when he heard this.
"So you want to tell me that the emperor of Great Qin who pursued immortality was doomed to be in vain?"
Hong Laoliu glanced at Yang Dong with a smile and continued:
"Who told you that only the emperors of Qin in this world would pursue immortality?"
Yang Dong couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
Just as he was about to continue asking questions, a sudden burst of rapid horse hooves broke the quietness of Heshan County late at night.
"Master, Master!"
Looking at Yu Xiaoyu coming in a hurry, Yang Dong frowned slightly.
"What happened to make you so panicked?"
Yu Xiaoyu gasped a few times, calmed down his breathing, and immediately said:
"Master, I have found the hiding place of the Blood Jade Alliance, and it is indeed in Xuefeng Town."
Having said this, he paused and continued:
"Not only that, we also found the swallow mentioned by Liu Erzhuang, and have made initial contact with the people of the Blood Jade Alliance in the name of business."
Afterwards, Yu Xiaoyu told Yang Dong word for word what he had experienced in Xuefeng Town.
Yang Dong frowned, his eyes closed slightly, and there was a rare sadness on his cheeks.
"Are you sure that there are really hundreds of people in the Blood Jade Alliance who have been implanted with blood jade?"
As soon as Yang Dong asked the question, he realized that there was something wrong with his question.
After all, Yu Xiaoyu had only been separated from him for a few days, so how could he investigate this matter in depth.
Yu Xiaoyu's expression was slightly startled. After thinking for a moment, he cautiously said:
"To be honest, I don't think Yuyan has any need to lie to me. And... if the number of people implanted with blood jade is small, I think the person behind the scenes will not be willing to let her pick up customers in the brothel to make money."
Yang Dong frowned again,
Hong Laoliu on the side nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, the probability of blood jade implantation at the beginning was less than half. If calculated based on the number of people, more than a hundred people are not actually that many."
After saying this, he looked at Yang Dong with interest, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Boy, how are you? Do you need me to help you solve these troubles?"
When Yang Dong heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.
"Lao Liu...ah, no, Senior Hong, do you really have a way to solve this matter?"
Unexpectedly, Hong Laoliu smiled faintly and assumed the posture of a worldly master.
He stretched out a hand towards Yang Dong, pinched his index finger and thumb together, and rubbed it a few times.
"Boy, as long as the money you give is enough, this won't be a problem!"
"Is this true??"
Yang Dong's eyes brightened slightly, but then there was a flash of vigilance in his eyes.
"Hong Laoliu, you won't open your mouth like a lion this time and take advantage of the situation, right?"
"What are you talking about? Is this the kind of person I am?"
After Hong Laoliu said this, he deliberately pretended to be serious.
But after just a moment, he couldn't hold back any longer, and the corners of his mouth could not be restrained from rising high.
"???"
Yang Dong looked disbelieving and stared at Hong Laoliu suspiciously:
"Then why are you smiling so obscenely???"
"Can't I think of happy things?"
Hong Laoliu glared at Yang Dong fiercely, then slapped his forehead in hindsight.
"Also, you kid, who do you think is smiling obscenely?"
"Ahem, don't worry about these details!"
Yang Dong waved his hands repeatedly, and then asked with a serious face:
"Just say a fixed price!"
Hong Laoliu seemed to have planned this for a long time. When he heard what Yang Dong said, he immediately hit it off.
"You kid, you could have just said no earlier. Why are you wasting so much money?"
"Then how much money do you plan to charge?"
A trace of physical pain flashed across Yang Dong's face.
Hong Laoliu leaned back on the chair comfortably, crossed his legs, stretched out a palm leisurely, and walked around in front of Yang Dong.
"One price, five million taels of silver!"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Xiaoyu on the side was completely stunned.
Five million taels of silver? ?
If they were piled together, they would probably be as big as a mountain!
The previous spending of tens of thousands of taels of silver had already made him feel treated like an emperor.
And five million taels of silver can allow him to enjoy it five hundred times!
Yu Xiaoyu suddenly had the feeling that although he was the son of the commander, he had obviously been raised poor since childhood.
Otherwise, why are they all officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and why is the gap so big?
It seems that the old guy must be hiding something from me. He just didn't want me to squander my family fortune, so he deliberately pretended to be poor in front of me.
No matter what, after going back this time, I must torture this old guy!
He is just a young man, guarding so much money. Is it interesting?
At this moment, Yang Dong didn't know that just because of Hong Laoliu's bidding, the Yu family was restless for many days.
Of course, these are all things for later, let’s not mention them for now.
Yang Dong was already very familiar with Hong Laoliu's routine.
He also stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of the other party's eyes.
"Five hundred taels at most!"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Xiaoyu's face was shocked again.
Five hundred taels? ? ?
For God's sake, can any master bargain like this? ?
Is it okay to just cut off the word "ten thousand"?
Yu Xiaoyu even thought that Hong Laoliu would get angry.
Unexpectedly, Hong Laoliu still showed a nonchalant attitude and made a slap gesture again.
"Fifty thousand taels, a penny less, I won't do it!"
"Hong Laoliu, it's almost done!"
"Let's do this, I will increase it for you, just by this amount!"
Yang Dong shook his hand again,
When Hong Laoliu saw this, his expression was slightly happy.
"Okay, for the sake of our friendship, I'll give you a friendship price of one thousand taels of silver!"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Xiaoyu was shocked.
Damn, can you still bargain like this?
From five million taels of silver, it was cut down to one thousand taels of silver.
Master is indeed a master, he is so handsome!
Just when everyone thought that Yang Dong and Hong Laoliu had reached a deal, they saw Yang Dong gently shaking his head.
"Who said it was a thousand taels? You are not kind, Old Six!"
