Shen Hao's smile became even brighter. He liked dealing with people who asked for benefits.
"General Wu might as well say it bluntly. I, the Xuanqing Guard, never let people work in vain. If you have any requests, just ask."
Wu Kai was also smiling, but the smile didn't seem pure.
"My requirements are not high, just two things. One is elixirs. I want ten Great Peiyuan Pills. The other is a real power position of the fifth grade. As long as you can promise me these two things, I will do you a favor. How about ?”
This is the lion's opening.
Ten Da Pei Yuan Pills are already unbelievable, let alone a fifth-grade real power position? Judging from Wu Kai's tone, he should still want a position in the military. The fifth rank is equivalent to a thousand households of officials, or the vacancy of one general.
"General Wu's request is not too high, but I, the Xuanqing Guard, really can't afford it." Shen Hao refused without thinking. No one can take him for granted.
Wu Kai turned his head, his face obviously a little stunned. He thought that Shen Hao would bargain with him, but he did not expect that the other party would directly refuse.
"Master Shen, what do you mean?"
"I mean, Xuanqingwei cannot afford the price that General Wu is asking for. Whether it's ten Great Peiyuan Pills or a fifth-grade position in the army, it's beyond my bottom line and there's nothing I can do about it. So let's forget it this time. I'm sorry to delay the general's leisure time." Shen Hao said while making a gesture to take back the fishing rod.
Wu Kai pulled Shen Hao and smiled reluctantly: "Master Shen, why are you so anxious? Master Jiang told me that Xuanqing Guard has important matters this time. How do you explain this move to Master Jiang?" Besides, I’m already here, so I can’t know about a secret mission of your Xuanqing Guard in vain, right?”
In Wu Kai's view, this matter was set by Jiang Cheng, and he had already gotten involved in the apparently confidential mission of Xuan Qingwei. In addition, he believed that he was a good candidate, so these factors made him sure of Shen Hao, so he opened his mouth and thought about changing money on the ground.
But Shen Hao's thoughts were obviously different: "General, you don't have to worry about me. I am the Black Flag Camp of Fengri City who is responsible for the case. I am also the person in charge. Mr. Jiang came to you because of my request before, but it was not Mr. Jiang’s order, so there is no explanation for Mr. Jiang. As long as the case can be solved in the end, it will be considered my explanation.
In addition, haha, your military commander is also an acquaintance. The relationship can be discussed with Lord Jiang, so I personally trust you not to use my Xuanqing Guard's mission as a source of discussion, so there is no issue of leaking secrets or not. "
Shen Hao was not deliberately trying to lower the price, he was really ready to leave.
As a partial general of the border army, and subjectively leaning towards Xuanqingwei, Wu Kai is indeed a very suitable flag and has a lot of room for use in investigating crimes.
But today's conversation gave Shen Hao a bad feeling, especially since Wu Kai had always been so arrogant. Shen Hao seemed to be very unaccustomed to his "come and ask me for help" look. When did Xuan Qingwei need someone to investigate a case and have to humiliate him and be slaughtered?
Anyone who sincerely talks about benefits and conditions will not speak loudly, because it will appear very insincere. Do you think this is a vegetable market to buy vegetables? Asking for a high price and then waiting to pay back the money?
And if you leave Zhang Butcher, do you have to eat pigs with hair on them?
Although Wu Kai is currently the most suitable person in the border army, he is not the only one. At that time, Wu Kai was not the only one under Jiang Cheng to remain in the border army. And even if you give up the most suitable choice of the border army, you can still check it by turning around and going to the Jingxi Army. Zhang Qian and Gan Lin also have connections in the Jingxi Army's supply camp? It doesn't mean that you can't be involved in the plan if you put some thought into it.
After saying that, Shen Hao was about to close his pole again? But he was pulled back by Wu Kai again.
"General Wu? What are you doing?"
"Master Shen, please tell me what you have to say. If you think my demands just now are too high, can you tell me the bottom line of your Xuanqing Guard? Otherwise, is it a bit arbitrary to just say that it is inappropriate in just a few words?"
"Arbitrary? Haha, what General Wu Pian said makes sense? Then let me say a few more words."
Shen Hao found that Wu Kai was really anxious. Actually, think about it. If he had done well in the army, he wouldn't have been fooled into helping by Zhang Qian and Gan Lin with a little money advantage? This man was interested in Xuan Qingwei's fortune and wanted to make a fortune, so how could he let go so easily?
After thinking for a while, Shen Hao gave his price: "We don't have Da Pei Yuan Dan in Fengri City's Black Flag Camp, but we can help you apply to the Zhen Fu Shi Yamen, but the quantity can't be too much? At most, it's Just one or two. I don’t think about the position. The army is not a place where our Xuanqing Guards can get involved? But we can use money instead. Or low-grade spiritual stones can also be discussed. "
That's just a rough idea. If Wu Kai refuses or wants to make a counteroffer, then Shen Hao really has no interest in this person.
He probably felt that Shen Hao's knife was too harsh, which was equivalent to directly opening it and raising a new price? And Wu Kai could see that this should be the last condition given by Shen Hao.
"Master Shen is a good at changing money on the floor. But I took it. You can wait for the elixir before giving it to me, but I want the low-grade spiritual stone as soon as possible? Please give me more!" Wu Kai's face was gone as he spoke. Smile? The tone is also a bit stiff. I thought I could take advantage of him and rip him off? But who would have thought that I would be forced to make no progress or retreat? This kind of psychological contrast will definitely never make me laugh again.
Shen Hao didn't leave either. He held the fishing rod and was silent for a while before saying: "Ten low-grade spiritual stones. I can give them to you later if you are successful in obtaining information."
"Too little."
In fact, it's quite a lot, but it's just very different from Wu Kai's previous estimate.
Shen Hao was speechless. He only had this price anyway. If Wu Kai was willing to do it, he could do it. If he didn't, just forget it.
The atmosphere was strangely vacant for half a stick of incense. Wu Kai sighed and could only agree: "That's all. It's all up to you."
"Don't worry, General Wu. The part of the spirit stone will be in your hands within three days. As for the elixir, I think it will be no problem within a month. And just like the spirit stone, if the information you provide in the future is valuable, , we will give it again.”
"Hey, okay. Now can you tell me what you need me to do?"
Just as Shen Hao was about to reply, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly sank, and a fish bit the hook!
When he raised his wrist, the fishing line tightened instantly, and then he saw movement on the water surface eight or nine feet away, and then a white figure writhed out and made a loud splash.
"It's a big fish! It should weigh five or six kilograms!" Although Shen Hao is not very good at fishing, he can still slowly pull back the line after taking the bait. With the help of the monk's perception, the fish will not run away.
It only took a stick of incense to pull the fish, and finally the fish was pulled onto the boat. It was indeed quite big, weighing almost seven kilograms.
"Are there any cooking utensils on the boat? I'll treat the general to fish for lunch!"
