"Master Lu, what are your orders?" the waiter asked.
"Prepare a private room and a table for high-end banquets. My old friend is here, and I want to take care of him!" Lu Pingping said boldly.
"Okay, please invite me to the private room upstairs for a table of fine wine!" the waiter shouted loudly.
The three of them came to the second floor and sat down. The food and wine were quickly prepared. Lin *** stood up immediately and poured wine for Li Wenzhou and Lu Pingping.
Lu Pingping raised his glass, "Master Li, is this the fragrant wind that brought you to Hangzhou?"
"Of course it's the east wind!" Li Wenzhou said with a smile, "Fuck it!"
"Cheers!" Lu Pingping said with a smile.
After the two of them drank a glass of wine, Li Wenzhou looked at Lu Pingping and said, "Mr. Lu, have you been having a rough time these past few days?"
"..." Lu Pingping's expression stiffened, and then he softened, "Mr. Li, I don't quite understand what you are saying!"
Li Wenzhou smiled, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of West Lake Vinegar Fish. He kept nodding, "The fish is good, but it's a pity that I can't eat it in my mouth!"
Lu Pingping smiled, "Mr. Li, has he become fond of playing riddles recently?"
Li Wenzhou put down his chopsticks and said, "Mr. Lu, let's stop playing this kind of game and tell the truth, okay?"
"It all depends on what Mr. Li wants to tell the truth!"
"The prince asked Zhao Xuanyi to bring him out. This must be what Mr. Lu has been busy with these days, right?" Li Wenzhou asked suddenly.
Lu Pingping and Lin Min's expressions changed instantly. Lin Min's jade hand slowly touched the handle of the knife, "Master Lu, don't look at me like this. I don't mean any harm. Otherwise, I wouldn't sit down and drink with you?"
Lu Pingping gave Lin Min a look, signaling Lin Min not to do anything! Lin Min put down the knife and asked, "Mr. Li, have you not finished speaking?"
"Hahaha! Mr. Lu knows me! I know you failed! I also heard that Zhao Xuanyi transferred a thousand Qilin Guards. This is the main reason for your failure!"
"Where did Mr. Li hear about this?"
"Is it important? I think Mr. Lu would like to know what I am doing all the way to find you this time, right?"
A sneer appeared on Lu Pingping's face, his expression was very serious, "I really want to know, do you know that what you say next can determine your life or death. Both life and death paths are placed in front of you. As for how to choose, it depends is you!"
"Let me be more direct. I wonder if Mr. Lu is willing to cooperate with me?"
"Cooperation? How to cooperate?"
Li Wenzhou took out a white jade pendant from his pocket and placed it on the table. "Mr. Lu, do you recognize this item?"
Lu Pingping picked up the milky white jade pendant and looked at it carefully. There was no word on it, but there was an ancient building engraved on it. Lu Pingping's eyes widened, "Is this... the White Jade Tower?"
"That's right! The three major assassination organizations in the world are the Ghost King Sect, Baiyu Tower, and Guihuafang! The Ghost King Sect has always been in the ghost market in the capital, and I have never seen it! And Guihuafang is in Guangdong, and I have never seen it! I can't say anything, but I still have some connections in Baiyulou!" Li Wenzhou said with pride on his face.
"This? You actually know people from Baiyulou?"
"This is nothing, but it is very important for our next conversation! I don't think I need to say it. Lu Pingping also knows that the current crown prince Zhu Wenyu is nothing more than a reckless person. The real threat is Zhao Xuanyi!"
"Zhao Xuanyi is not only Zhu Wenyu's auxiliary minister, but also the Optimus Prime of the entire Ming Dynasty! If we don't get rid of him, life will be difficult for our two families in the future!"
"Young Master Li must have come prepared, so you might as well tell him!"
"Okay, happy! Then let me tell you straight. I have personally gone to Baiyulou to inquire. They are also willing to take over this business, but for someone with Zhao Xuanyi's status, the price is not low! Baiyulou has third-class killers, and the lowest two Fifteen million taels, after such a killer goes on a mission, there is no guarantee that he will complete the mission!"
"The second-class killer is worth 35 million taels. If he fails, he will pay one-third of the money! The first-class killer is worth 45 million taels. If the mission fails, a full refund will be given!"
"So expensive?" Although Lu Pingping knew
Zhao Xuanyi is not easy to kill, but the price is really scary!
"Isn't this money fraud?" Lin Min said.
Lu Pingping glanced at Lin Min, "You don't know, the killers in Baiyulou are all famous criminal thieves and ocean thieves! They are all first-class criminals wanted by various countries, and if they take action, if the mission fails, the killer will die!"
"Did they get their money back if they failed?" Lin Min asked.
"I don't know!" Li Wenzhou smiled and shook his head!
"You don't know that you still dare to do business with them?"
"Because... Baiyu Tower has never failed since it was established!" Lu Pingping said.
"What?" Lin Min was also surprised and couldn't help but widen her eyes!
Li Wenzhou smiled and nodded, "I really want to see Mr. Lu. I didn't expect you to be involved in this area! Then I don't need to explain what happens next!"
"Although I really want to cooperate with Mr. Li, the price... is too high!" Lu Pingping said with a wry smile.
"So I also asked if there is an alliance. Don't tell me, are you really lucky that there is an alliance? Hahaha!"
"Alliance?" Lin Min asked.
"joint venture!"
"Oh!" Lin Min nodded.
"Then Mr. Li means that our alliance will directly pay to kill Zhao Xuanyi?"
"That's right! I've already thought about it. Bai Yulou has never failed, and Zhao Xuanyi doesn't know martial arts at all, so he relies on the help of people around him. We might as well hire a third-class killer and form an alliance with three families. Each person can earn a little more than 883 bowls. , although the price is higher, the return is equally high!”
After speaking, Li Wenzhou took a piece of fish to Lu Pingping, "The most important thing is, we can eat fish without fear of fishy smell!"
After Lu Pingping heard this, he couldn't help but fell silent. This proposal was very tempting, and it could also be said to be the best way! As long as Zhao Xuanyi is killed, the entire daimyo will fall into chaos. If he wants to do anything to the prince, or his adoptive father wants to do to the emperor, it will be very easy!
Lin Min on the side didn't say anything. He trusted Lu Pingping. As long as he spoke, she would fully support him. But asking for such a high amount of silver was really a bit high!
"Mr. Li, since you have said it so straightforwardly, we have to explain it carefully. Although the price is not low, compared with our interests, it is definitely a drop in the bucket! I think we might as well just hire a first-class killer every time. Fifteen million pieces of silver!"
Li Wenzhou's eyes widened in fear, "You mean to hire a first-class assassin?"
"That's right! It doesn't matter whether they send a group of killers or a lone wolf! If we win, we are all happy. If we lose, we don't have to pay a penny! Why not?"
"This...?" Li Wenzhou was embarrassed for a moment. It wasn't that he didn't want to agree, but that he really couldn't offer so much!
Lu Pingping smiled after seeing it, "Master Li, don't you have a lot of money?"
"Indeed! This is not a small amount after all!"
"But Mr. Lu has never thought that if this third-class killer fails, Zhao Xuanyi will not be dead, and more than eight million taels will be gone! Wouldn't you be more sad at that time? You just said it, high risk, high reward !" After speaking, Lu Pingping raised his glass!
Li Wenzhou's heart skipped a beat and he gritted his teeth, "Sure! Let's bet this time!" Li Wenzhou picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Lu Pingping, and they drank together!
"Then Mr. Li, what are we talking about? I hope you are here!" Lu Pingping would not hand over fifteen million taels to an outsider for no reason, and Lu Pingping did not believe that Li Wenzhou dared to defraud him of his money, unless he no longer wanted to live!
Li Wenzhou smiled, "Well, let's prepare each other. We will meet in Henan in five days. Then I will personally take you to Baiyu Tower to see what you have to see!"
"Okay, then I'll leave it to Mr. Li, let's drink and drink!" The two of them drank happily all afternoon!
After the two of them dispersed, they went to prepare silver taels respectively. Lin Min helped Lu Pingping, "Brother, fifteen million taels! How can we have it? All the assets of you and I combined don't exceed one million taels!"
Lu Pingping smiled, "With such a large amount of money, I
How can they afford it? Go home and rest first, and go find your adoptive father early tomorrow morning. You don’t need to talk then, I will do it myself! "
"Are you sure?"
Lu Pingping held Lin Min's chin with his hand and smiled slightly, "You underestimate your adoptive father's ambition, don't ask!" After saying that, the two quickly left the street!
At the same time, in Luoye City, Zhao Xuanyi was sitting on a bench and resting. Looking at the flaming clouds on the horizon, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. This world is not the same as his own!
Such a blue sky is probably rarely seen in my own world. The sky is full of haze. It is easy to see the moon, but it is impossible to see the stars! Being able to see such a beautiful sky is simply a pleasure!
Just when Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei were sitting leisurely on the bench, two figures walked out of the door. Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei turned their heads and saw Qin Jinyi, with a girl in red clothes next to them. Zhao Xuanyi took a closer look. , looks average, no need to remember!
"Miss Qin? You're here!" Zhao Xuanyi greeted warmly.
Qin Jinyi smiled slightly, "Excuse me, is Master Yu Wenzhu here?"
"Here! Yu Wenzhu, come out quickly! Miss Qin wants to see you for something!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. After all, Zhu Wenyu was here to find a woman. Seeing that they were making progress, he Missions can also be faster!
Zhu Wenyu ran out of the room. When she saw Qin Jinyi, she immediately smiled, "Miss Qin, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, the food Mr. Yuwen gave me at noon today was very delicious. I came here to thank you!" Qin Jinyi said with a smile.
"..." Zhu Wenyu turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi. Zhao Xuanyi regretted it in his heart. That was the beauty I made. Warm my bed tonight and I will be yours forever! But it’s helpless, there is no destiny! Zhao Xuanyi gave Zhu Wenyu a wink, meaning his plan was good, right?
Zhu Wenyu smiled, "You're welcome, Miss Qin. I really feel sorry for bothering you at home, so I prepared some vegetables from the Western Regions and gave them to you. It's not worth mentioning!"
"Vegetables from the Western Regions? No wonder I haven't eaten them yet!" Qin Jinyi said with a smile.
"Miss Qin likes it very much?" Zhu Wenyu asked.
"I like it very much, but...?" Qin Jinyi seemed a little embarrassed to say it.
Zhu Wenyu also noticed it and hurriedly said, "Miss Qin, you don't have to be so reserved. Just tell me what you have to say!"
Qin Jinyi sighed, "Actually, I have something to ask of you, Mr. Yuwen!"
"What did you say? If you need something, just ask!"
"The thing is, my father recently...has not had a very good appetite and is in poor health. He doesn't want to eat or drink. Today at noon, Mr. Yuwen sent me some delicious dishes that I have never eaten before. I was very surprised. I gave My father took it to me and he liked it very much!"
"So I would like to ask Mr. Yuwen to cook a few dishes for me? If possible, please help me cook three meals a day and send them to my father. If he can eat every day, his health will also get better! "
When Zhu Wenyu heard this, he thought, "Isn't this a rush of money?" How can I cook those dishes? Let me grill a fish and fry an egg, okay? Zhu Wenyu turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi.
Zhao Xuanyi was laughing like crazy at this moment. What do you think we should do? I am the eldest young master now. How dare you agree to it casually? What should I do if I get ganged up on? If I were to take care of Qin Jinyi's father, do you think Qin Jinyi would follow you or me in the future? Ouch, it’s not good for people to be too talented! God takes the initiative to send unwanted women to you!
Seeing Zhao Xuanyi's proud face, Zhu Wenyu had already seen through him in her heart, knowing that he would not agree so easily. She sighed helplessly and came to Qin Jinyi's side, "Miss Qin, can we take a step to talk?"
"Of course!" Qin Jinyi, Zhu Wenyu and the maid walked out of the yard and came to the atrium together. "Master Yuwen, is there anything inconvenient to say?"
Zhu Wenyu sighed, "Miss Qin, I don't want to deceive you. I brought you the lunch dish today, but... I didn't cook it!"
"Didn't you do it?" Qin Jinyi realized then that she had misunderstood and thought it was Yu Wenzhu who did it.
Well, thinking of how I had begged for help just now, I blushed and made a big mistake! "That? Who did that?"
"It's my young master!"
"Master Zhao?"
"Yes, in addition to liking women, my young master also loves cooking, so he can cook good dishes. It is only with this skill that he can win the hearts of four wives. And I just heard that Miss Qin is so filial. Don't worry, I will kneel down. Come down and beg my young master, I want him to help you with this! I will definitely help you, Miss Qin!" Zhu Wenyu said sincerely.
"Mr. Yuwen... Thank you very much!" Qin Jinyi was so surprised that she didn't know what to say, and her heart could not help but beat violently!
