"You, are you Liu Erzhuang?"
Yu Xiaoyu looked at the thin man in front of him, with a look of disbelief on his cheeks.
In just a few days, how could Liu Erzhuang, a strong man, look like this?
Could it be that he suffered inhumane torture from the Blood Jade Alliance?
Liu Erzhuang scratched his head, a look of embarrassment appeared on his cheeks.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yu, for making you worry. I've had a good time in Xuefeng Town these past few days, how about you?"
What the hell?
With your current look, you actually sound pretty good?
Yu Xiaoyu curled his lips and was about to ask a question when he saw Yu Yan walking over gracefully with lotus steps.
Compared with the past few days, Yuyan now looks like a hibiscus emerging from the water, especially radiant. Perhaps due to some kind of moisture, even the skin on her body became crystal clear and shiny, making people unable to help but take a second look.
"Yuyan, why don't you..."
Yu Xiaoyu was about to ask a question when he saw Liu Erzhuang and Yu Yan looking at each other affectionately, then quickly turning their heads away, with a bit of shame on their faces.
Although Yu Xiaoyu doesn't know much about men and women. But in the current situation, any fool can see that there must be an affair between these two people.
"That's all, you can take care of your own affairs."
"I came here today just to talk to Boss Huang about the salt block business. Speaking of which, is there any special action in Xuefeng Town recently?"
After speaking, he turned his attention to Liu Erzhuang.
However, Yu Xiaoyu never expected that Liu Erzhuang would not say a word and instead looked at Yuyan.
Yuyan chuckled, raised her jade hand and stretched it out in front of Yu Xiaoyu,
"Brother Yu, considering our past friendship, there is nothing wrong with telling you some information."
"But you have also seen our situation. Now that the village is gone and the fields are gone, we always need some capital to settle down and live, so... please understand."
"That's how it should be."
Yu Xiaoyu nodded, took out a one hundred tael silver note from his arms, and handed it over.
"Is this enough?"
"Enough, enough!"
The corners of Yuyan's mouth raised slightly, she quickly put the banknote into her arms, and then said:
"Actually, in the past few days, Xuefeng Town seems to be calm on the surface. But in fact, there are undercurrents surging behind the scenes."
"Because whether they are local merchants or merchants from other places, they know one thing very well, and that is the next transaction. Whoever can hold the salt block resources can make the biggest profit."
"And with little brother Yu's intelligence, he naturally understands who the goals of both of them are."
"Obviously, it's me!"
Yu Xiaoyu pointed to his nose helplessly, and then continued:
"But I can't figure out why they want to rob the salt blocks!"
"The salt cubes I brought here this time are not many. There is no need for them to offend me to death because of this matter. Otherwise, there will be no chance for everyone to cooperate in the future."
"Little brother, I don't know anything."
Yuyan smiled faintly and whispered:
"Actually... all of this is just Boss Huang's plan."
"He has already said before that this transaction is crucial and he is willing to pay double the price."
"For many businessmen, just doing this one business can earn them more money than they can spend in their lifetime. That's why they choose to take risks and make a desperate move."
Yu Xiaoyu nodded slightly, but frowned slightly.
"It seems that Boss Huang doesn't really want to cooperate with me."
"Little brother, this is wrong."
Yuyan said, adding a cup of hot tea for Yu Xiaoyu, and then continued:
"Even if Boss Huang is doing business, he must see the strength of his partners. Otherwise, how can we ensure that this business can continue smoothly?"
"So, Boss Huang is letting these businessmen run wild this time because he probably wants to see how strong Little Brother Yu is."
"Then I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint him."
Yu Xiaoyu shook his head slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then suddenly he looked at Yu Yan with burning eyes and said:
"I want to know where the Blood Jade Alliance is hiding. Please give me a price!"
As soon as these words came out, the originally harmonious and friendly atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The gentleness on Yu Yan's cheeks disappeared, replaced by a look of vigilance.
She stared at Yu Xiaoyu and whispered:
"Little brother Yu, for the sake of us being friends, I can pretend that I didn't hear anything just now."
"Please don't..."
Yu Xiaoyu calmly took out a handful of banknotes from his arms and slapped them on the wooden table.
"These are ten thousand taels of silver notes, you see clearly."
"With these banknotes, you two can find a place no one knows about and live a prosperous life."
"There are some things that our leader needs to talk to the people of the Blood Jade Alliance in person. You should understand what I mean."
Yu Xiaoyu still kept a secret and did not reveal Yang Dong's plan to annihilate the Blood Jade Alliance. Instead, he said that he wanted to talk to the Blood Jade Alliance.
In this way, Yu Yan's vigilance can be lowered and the chance of successful negotiations can be increased.
Sure enough, after hearing Yu Xiaoyu's words, the expression on Yuyan's face softened.
However, her eyes when looking at Yu Xiaoyu were still filled with vigilance.
But that 10,000 taels of silver note was really too tempting. Even though she knew the money was hot, she still couldn't help but feel moved.
Yuyan slowly stood up, walked to the window and gently lowered the window.
She took a deep breath and then let it out slowly.
The next moment, she picked up the banknote and handed it to Yu Xiaoyu again.
"Sorry, little brother Yu, I can't tell you about this."
"If Boss Huang knows about this, neither we nor you will be able to leave Xuefeng Town alive."
"But... if you want to talk about cooperation with Boss Huang, that's easy. I can help you set up a bureau and invite Boss Huang out. What do you think?"
Yu Xiaoyu did not take the banknote immediately, but smiled and shook his head:
"This matter is actually not something I can decide."
"Let's do this. In two days, our Guild Yang will come over in person to talk to your boss Huang."
"Nowadays, all the forces in the four states south of the Yangtze River are ready to move. The imperial court needs a partner, doesn't it?"
Yu Xiaoyu made up a reason again, which indeed made Yu Yan relax her vigilance a little.
Soon, the sound of fighting outside the brothel gradually dissipated.
The moment Wei Ba pushed open the brothel door, Yu Xiaoyu knew that he had won the bet this time.
"Little brother Yu, you've been waiting for a long time!"
"Come on, come on, brothers, keep drinking!"
