"Ah, this, this...where did you get this?"
Tang Songyuan was extremely surprised. He didn't turn on the X-ray vision just now. He wouldn't turn it on all the time when there was no need.
But he didn't expect that there was a mysterious ball in the gift box Li Qingying gave him.
Li Qingying had a smile on her face and burst into laughter.
She said with a crooked look, "Actually, it's a coincidence. It's inside a jade Buddha that belongs to a friend of my mother's."
"It is said that the jade Buddha has been passed down for several generations, but who would have expected that there would be this inside."
Tang Songyuan laughed and said, "So you just gave away your mother's friend's treasure?"
"What do you mean by smooth? It's such an ugly thing to say!" Li Qingying rolled her eyes at him and said, "I asked my mother to beg for it for me. For this reason, I even bought a piece of jade with good quality."
"If it weren't for this, I would definitely have to stay ten days and a half longer before coming back..."
As she spoke, Li Qingying gestured at the size of the piece of jade she exchanged.
It means that the price she spent is not small.
Tang Songyuan asked again: "Then you just gave it to me, and you don't plan to keep it for yourself?"
"Maybe you still have a chance to find another one, and then it will add some special abilities."
Li Qingying shook her head and said: "I'm actually very satisfied, and didn't I still owe you one before? You can't get this kind of thing if you ask for it, so just let it happen!"
These four words "asking for something but not getting it" are the essence.
Tang, Song and Yuan couldn't figure out the specific way to obtain this thing. There were too many secrets and unknowns in the extraordinary world.
He sighed and said, "Okay, I'll put this away first."
...
On the other side, Luo Gang is also organizing a mercenary group to prepare for the evacuation. Except for a team of 20 people left to guard the Tang Mansion, the remaining more than 100 people will all return to the country.
After the peace negotiations are over, Kokang will usher in a period of peace, and the Daxia mercenary group will temporarily have no use.
As the New Year was approaching, the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties simply gave everyone a holiday, and they would consider investing in other battlefields after the New Year.
In addition, the personnel of the Lagova Corps will also gradually withdraw, but they will leave their weapons and equipment to the Allied Forces, and the personnel will leave by plane.
At this time, a special guest came to the Tang Mansion. He was none other than Zhou Muning's third uncle, Zhou Tianlin.
Tang Songyuan was also very surprised when he received the report from Luo Gang.
He hurriedly went out and said hello: "Oh, why is Brother Zhou here so fast?"
"Please come in quickly!"
Zhou Tianlin laughed and said: "Brother Tang invited me, how dare I neglect it so easily? If I didn't take care of it right away, I would have diverted here from Mandalay without stopping."
"Fortunately, there is a truce now, otherwise I would have to go around from home."
"By the way, is my niece Zhou Muning here too?"
Tang Songyuan pulled Zhou Tianlin inside and said, "That's really unfortunate. Miss Mu Ning just went back."
"It seems that the next stop is to go to Treasure Island, so I can let her go."
Zhou Tianlin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My niece has been wild since she was a child. If she offends Brother Tang, I hope Haihan will do it."
Tang Songyuan said: "No problem, Miss Zhou has outstanding abilities, and her friends are also very powerful,"
"In this Guo-Burma war, she played a big role. If I really want to say it, I have to thank her..."
Arriving at the living room, Zhou Tianlin looked around briefly and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, this house is not simple. It is not only extremely luxurious, but also has a grand layout."
"I can see that you are in a good position in Guogan now."
Tang Songyuan said with a smile: "It's not bad. Brother Zhou still knows the art of Feng Shui?"
"I understand a little bit," Zhou Tianlin chuckled and said, "I can only say I understand a little bit. If Feng Shui was really good, all the Bai family wouldn't be executed."
"So when it comes to Feng Shui, it still depends on the person. It's not just ordinary people. No matter how good the Feng Shui pattern is, it can't control it."
"By the way, Brother Tang is so anxious to come to me. Is there any good business that could use me, Zhou Laosan?"
Tang Songyuan laughed and said: "Brother Zhou is still so smart. Can't I come to you to play if nothing happens?"
Zhou Tianlin's expression did not change, and he still said with a smile: "Of course it's possible, but in this place of Guogang, what's the fun in doing nothing?"
Tang Songyuan stood up, then brought a glass bottle with pills in it, placed it in front of Zhou Tianlin, and said:
“Just because it’s not fun now, doesn’t mean it won’t be fun in the future.”
"This is a small gift from me to Brother Zhou. After Brother Zhou goes back, he will take one pill a day and he will know the effect."
Zhou Tianlin had a curious look on his face, and while playing with the pill bottle, he said:
"It stands to reason that I absolutely trust what you give me, Brother Tang, but I am very curious."
"Tang, Song and Yuan are so pretentious. I may not be able to wait for the results when I go back, but I will be unable to sleep and scratch my head all night long."
Tang Songyuan no longer concealed anything, and roughly explained the effectiveness of the pills in a low voice.
The more Zhou Tianlin listened, the more suspicious his face became. His eyes were gleaming and he asked in a deep voice, "Brother Tang, are you serious about this?"
Tang Songyuan laughed and said: "This kind of thing can be fake. Of course I have experienced it myself. Could it be that Brother Zhou wants me to take off my pants to verify it for you?"
Zhou Tianlin smiled bitterly and said: "That's not necessary, but I will tell you a piece of gossip, and you must not spread it outside."
Tang Songyuan nodded and said: "Brother Zhou, just say it, whatever you say will reach my ears, no other person will know."
Zhou Tianlin looked around and said:
"If what you just said is true, I will take this thing back and give it to the second son of the Li family. I will keep it and scrape 200 million Hong Kong dollars from him."
"The second young master of the Li family..." Tang Songyuan asked in confusion: "What happened to him?"
Zhou Tianlin chuckled and said: "The outside world is saying that the second son of the Li family is a romantic, but everyone in the top circles in Hong Kong knows it."
"His abilities are average and his congenital conditions are not very good, so he uses things like being romantic to cover up his shortcomings."
"The less I have, the more I love to show off..."
Having said this, Zhou Tianlin paused for a moment and continued: "So I thought, if I take you back and let Mr. Li regain his glory, wouldn't the publicity effect be better than giving it to me, an old man?"
Tang Songyuan laughed and said: "Brother Zhou, you are wrong. You are not old at all, at least your heart is not old..."
