Looking at the two people running quickly from a distance, Lin Yuan was confused. Logically speaking, they should not appear now.
But these two people were running from not far away, Lin Yuan couldn't turn a blind eye, so he set out to meet them.
Just when the two of them were about to approach the edge of the Lin Mansion, a soldier guarding the intersection suddenly waved his halberd and jumped up from his horse. He landed directly in front of the visitor and blocked the halberd. their way.
"Keep strangers away!" A voice without any emotion came from under the iron armor and echoed in the street for a long time.
At this moment, Lin Yuan was still a little far away from the two of them. Seeing such an unexpected situation made him feel relieved.
But Lin Yuan still pretended to be indignant and walked quickly and angrily behind the silver-armored soldier.
"How can you be so rude? Put down your weapons immediately!"
Lin Yuan's scolding did play a certain role. The soldier withdrew his halberd and smashed the end directly on the ground. In an instant, the green bricks fell into pieces, and the halberd was also three-quarters of the way into the ground, and it stood upright on the ground. superior.
"Keep strangers away! If you cross the line, you will die!" He expressed his meaning concisely and concisely. The man in silver armor stood between Lin Yuan and the visitor without moving an inch.
"Hey! You..." Lin Yuan pointed at the soldier's back with an expression of displeasure, but actually he felt happy. If he had known that the royal family was so tightly guarded, he wouldn't have bothered to find the ruffian. The gangster is causing trouble for Lei Mansion.
Yes, the visitors were none other than Lei Ming and his youngest son Lei Fu.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, let's wait and see brother-in-law take it out on you!" Lei Fu rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was about to take action.
But as soon as he passed by his father, Lei Ming grabbed him by the collar and threw him directly behind him.
The sound of wailing sounded, and Lei Ming covered his eyes in anger, turned around and lectured: "Don't you know how many pounds you have? Are you worthy of challenging the royal family's silver-armored city guard?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yuan's relaxed mood suddenly became tense again. Unexpectedly, Lei Ming could see through the whereabouts of these soldiers at a glance. It seemed that today's confrontation between Lei Mansion and the royal family was inevitable.
But now...it's better for them to stay outside!
"Master Lei, why are you and your son the only ones here today?" Lin Yuan asked, avoiding the royal family's questions.
Before Lei Ming could speak, Lei Fu, who was limping over while rubbing his sore buttocks, said, "Don't mention it. We could have arrived on time. Who would have thought that a few gangsters would come out on the street halfway?" They refused to give way when they were causing trouble, and the doctors at Yunyin Villa wouldn't let us hurt them, so my dad and I rushed over first."
At this time, Lin Yuan also figured out Lei Ming's acting style. He was also a master who did not follow the rules.
"Hey, how could this be? The world is really in decline!" Lin Yuan pretended to help the father and son.
Lei Ming once again put on his signature arm-crossing posture. He looked at Lin Yuan with a smile and said, "It's okay. The doctor isn't here anyway. Mr. Xiao Lin, why don't you deal with the one inside first?"
Unexpectedly, Lei Ming was so easy to talk to today. Lin Yuan thought that he would have to spend some time talking, but now it is convenient.
Putting on a difficult expression, Lin Yuan seemed to have been struggling for a long time. He stamped his feet helplessly and gritted his teeth: "Hey! This is the only way. After all, the royal family is visiting, and it is not appropriate to delay for too long."
Seeing Lin Yuan's clumsy appearance in trouble, Lei Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "Okay, Mr. Lin, our people are almost here. You'd better get rid of that person inside as soon as possible. Don't delay refining the medicine." time."
Now that Lei Ming has spoken, it's easy for Lin Yuan. He held up his hands and said, "Then I'll go in first. It's not appropriate to make people wait for too long. You two... wait a moment!"
After saying that, Lin Yuan turned around and ran away without seeing Lei Fu's funny expression.
"No, brother-in-law! Take me in too! My wife is in there too!" Lei Fu walked forward anxiously. Just when he was about to pass the halberd, a big hand grabbed his clothes again. Leading, Lei Fu drew a beautiful arc in the air.
The scream of landing and a curse word sounded at the same time. Lin Yuan admired Lei Fu's tenacity. It was a miracle that he could grow so big under Lei Ming's hands!
However, Lin Yuan didn't have time to think about this at the moment. He grabbed Ge Lao and Mo Qingcheng who were waiting at the door and ran inside. Today's two tough battles must be resolved quickly.
The three of them ran quickly. By the time they reached the lobby, Lin Weiyang and Yun Fei were already seated and drinking tea.
Lin Yuan gasped and saluted, and said, "I'm sorry, Princess, there was a little accident just now."
Yun Fei still maintained that smile, put down the tea cup in her hand and said, "It doesn't matter, Mr. Lin, why don't you take a seat and rest first?"
It sounds like she is the master of Lin Mansion, and the aura of the royal family is indeed innate.
Lin Yuan nodded, walked directly to Lin Weiyang and sat down, picked up her tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. Mo Qingcheng stood behind the two of them, lowering his head and not daring to raise it.
After the younger brother put down his cup, Lin Weiyang thoughtfully refilled his tea cup and quietly whispered: "What's going on?"
Picking up the tea cup again, Lin Yuan took a sip, then covered his lips with tea residue and said, "Thunder has arrived!"
Without any time to explain, Lin Yuan put down the tea cup in his hand. He looked at the eldest princess opposite with a smile and said, "Eldest Princess, how about... let's get straight to the point?"
The slender fingers moved away the tea cup in front of her. Yun Fei didn't say anything. She tapped the table with her fingers. Elder Ge, who was standing behind her, took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms and placed it in front of Yun Fei.
"This is what you want." Yun Fei crossed her hands on the table and rested her plump chin on the back of her hands.
Lin Yuan smiled and leaned over, reaching out to take away the bamboo slips.
"Thank you, Princess..."
However, Lin Yuan said this too early.
Yun Fei's smile suddenly disappeared. She patted the bamboo slip with one hand to protect it. She stared straight at Lin Yuan and said, "Master Lin, don't be anxious. If you want me to send it, I'm here. You want it?" I've also found out your stuff, so is it time to show Lin Mansion's sincerity?"
Lin Yuan's palm hung on Yun Fei's jade hand. He raised his eyes and met Yun Fei's eyes.
After an awkward pause, Lin Yuan retracted his arm, sat back, and asked, "I wonder what the eldest princess wants?"
Seemingly amused by these words, Yun Fei smiled lightly and picked up the bamboo slips in her hand to play with. Her fingernails intentionally or unintentionally fiddled with the rope binding the bamboo slips, and said: "You have forgotten what Mr. Lin said to Mr. Ge earlier." ?”
Narrowing his eyes and glancing at Mr. Ge, Lin Yuan knew that she was talking about the promise she made with Mr. Ge that day.
Scratching his cheek in embarrassment, Lin Yuan said: "Of course not. As long as the contents on the bamboo slips are useful, the Lin Mansion will naturally agree to the Exchange Pavilion's entry into Beiliang, and will provide some help accordingly."
The movements of Yun Fei's hands stopped, and the air around her began to gradually become colder, and her voice also became colder, and she said: "According to your wishes, if this information is of no value to you, I will have to come here in vain today." Going?"
Before Lin Yuan could explain, Yun Fei smashed the bamboo slip in her hand on the table. Veins popped up on the back of her hand, and she squeezed the thing in her hand hard with her fingers.
"Master Lin, this wishful thinking is really sound. I can guess a little bit of your thoughts, but by burning bridges like this, are you not afraid of losing credibility in the Northern Jin Dynasty in the future?"
Yun Fei's series of words made Lin Yuan deeply understand that this woman was not easy to mess with.
It seems that she understood from the beginning that her purpose was never the things Lin Shangnan bought in the barter pavilion, but to shock the mountain and expose the flaws of those who participated in the interception and killing of Lin Shangnan.
Therefore, Lin Yuan only needs the royal family behind the Yiwu Pavilion to appear. As for those conditions, it can naturally be saved.
But now, Yun Fei's words directly raised the issue to the level of Northern Jin Dynasty, instead of being limited to Northern Liang.
If they were in Beiliang, the Lin Mansion still had the right to speak, but once they arrived in the Northern Jin Dynasty, the Lin Mansion would be annihilated in an instant.
Lin Yuan completely lost this game!
He leaned back in the chair and held his forehead, smiling bitterly. Although he had been mentally prepared, he didn't expect that he had no room to fight back.
But Lin Yuan did not give up. He was still thinking about how to reduce the cost to the Lin family.
At this moment, a warm and delicate hand stretched out from under the table and took Lin Yuan's hand.
Lin Yuan knew this familiar touch was his sister without even looking.
Lin Yuan turned around and saw that Lin Weiyang was also looking at him with a smile.
Lin Weiyang shook her head slightly, then released her hand holding her younger brother, turned to look at Yun Fei, and said: "Princess Yun, please don't be angry first. The Lin family has no intention of going back on it, but just wants to confirm whether the information is correct or not." It’s just a mistake.”
I don’t know if she accepted Lin Weiyang’s words, but Yun Fei’s expression softened a lot, but her hand still didn’t leave the bamboo slips for half a moment, she kept this posture and looked at Lin Weiyang, and said: "Oh? I think I have some problems. I'm impatient, I wonder what conditions the Lin Mansion will give?"
The current battlefield has turned into a confrontation between two women.
Lin Weiyang's fingertips tapped rhythmically on the armrests of the chair, and she looked at Yun Fei for a long time.
The entire lobby became extremely quiet, except for the sound from Lin Weiyang, there was no other sound.
The silence lasted for a long time. Yun Fei looked at Lin Weiyang's face and suddenly laughed out loud, which frightened Lin Yuan. He thought the giant Buddha was going to lose his temper.
"That's all, I won't compete with you for my patience." Yun Fei was the first to speak.
Lin Weiyang's fingers also listened because Yunfei broke the deadlock.
Yun Fei continued: "Let me tell you something first. You two siblings are considering the conditions. How about it?"
Listening to this, it seems that the eldest princess has important information in her hands.
Lin Yuan held his breath for a moment. He wanted to see all the changes in Yun Fei to judge whether she was lying.
Lin Weiyang put her hands under the table first and played chess with Yun Fei. She was still a little nervous.
"Then our siblings are all ears." Lin Weiyang pretended to be calm and said.
The eldest princess sitting opposite suddenly picked up the scroll, shook it in front of them and said, "The things your father bought are very interesting. If you give them to me, I will definitely take them with me."
After saying that, Yunfei leaned back on the chair to rest. As for whether they could understand the meaning, that was not something she had to consider.
After Lin Weiyang heard this, she didn't feel anything at all. She turned around and was about to ask her younger brother's opinion, but she saw his brows furrowed.
"Is it possible... there is really a mystery in these words?" Lin Weiyang thought in her heart. She did not disturb Lin Yuan. Now Lin Yuan needs to think quietly. After all, this brat's mind is more active than hers. .
One breath...two breaths...
Time passed quickly, Lin Yuan was still immersed in his own thoughts, but Yunfei seemed to have lost his patience.
She took the bamboo slip to the center of the table and placed it between the two siblings.
"Master Lin, Mr. Lin, my time is very precious. How have you considered it?" Yun Fei still had an unpredictable smile on her face. She did not look at Lin Weiyang, but stared directly at Lin Yuan and said.
Seeing Yun Fei's gaze, Lin Yuan finally let go of his brow. He leaned against his sister's ear, spoke in detail, and then sat back down.
Lin Weiyang had always believed in her younger brother's intentions, and she replied directly: "No problem, today, the Lin Mansion officially agreed to the Barter Pavilion to enter Beiliang, and provided 30,000 jade to fund the construction of the Barter Pavilion."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Yunfei suddenly beamed with joy. She nodded and put down the bamboo slips in her hand, but her hand still held it firmly and never let go.
"I'm very satisfied with the conditions, but... one more thing needs to be added." Yun Fei said.
Lin Yuan finally spoke at this time. He leaned lazily in his chair and said, "Eldest Princess, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"After the construction of the Barter Pavilion is completed, an auction will be held to celebrate the opening. The four Beiliang families and several nearby families will come to participate. Therefore, we will have to trouble the Lin Mansion to come up with a treasure for the auction. Of course, the auction amount will be All of it belongs to the Lin Mansion, and the Yiwu Pavilion won't take any of it." After saying this, Yun Fei loosened her fingers a little.
There was no loss in this condition, so Lin Yuandang agreed.
Now that the conditions were agreed upon, Yun Fei relaxed and said casually: "Mr. Ge, take the contract."
Seeing Mr. Ge take out another piece of paper from his arms and lay it on the table, Lin Yuan took a quick look and found that the contents were almost the same, except that the amount was not filled in. Lin Yuan had to sigh at how thoughtful this woman was, and it seemed that she had already planned it.
I saw Yun Fei put her free hand on the contract, and she activated her spirit energy. The word "30,000" slowly appeared in the empty part of the amount, and then the word "Yun Fei" appeared at the place where the payment was signed. I also wrote it down.
Turning the paper, Yun Fei said: "Palace Master Lin, take a look at it. If there is no problem, then sign it."
Lin Weiyang did not read the contents of the contract, she was waiting.
It wasn't until Lin Yuan agreed that Lin Weiyang pressed her slender fingers on it and "wrote" his name.
Mr. Ge put away the contract and it was done!
Then there is only one last thing left.
Lin Yuan stood up and put his hands on the table. He looked at Yun Fei opposite and said with a smile, "Eldest Princess, can you leave it to me?"
Yun Fei's hand still didn't let go. She looked at Lin Yuan awkwardly and then completely let go of her hand.
"Wow!"
When he let go, the originally rolled bamboo slips loosened and turned into bamboo strips.
Lin Yuan's eyes almost popped out. He looked at the eldest princess opposite with wide eyes, as if he wanted an explanation.
Yun Fei also coughed in embarrassment, and said while standing up: "Just now..., I didn't control the strength well, and all the threads inside were broken..."
Co-author... Yun Fei had been holding the bamboo slip just now because it was broken, not because of the game...
"With Mr. Lin's intelligence, I believe you will be able to put it together very quickly. I will take my leave now." Yun Fei couldn't help but laugh as she walked in front, walking very quickly.
Seeing the miserable expression on her younger brother's face, Lin Weiyang patted him on the shoulder and followed Yun Fei, who had to see off the guests after all.
In the entire lobby, Lin Yuan was left dumbfounded, and Mo Qingcheng, who just raised his head, was left.
When Mo Qingcheng saw Lin Yuan dumbfounded, she thoughtfully walked to the table and picked up the loose bamboo slips.
"Master Lin, I will accompany you..."
Before the girl finished speaking, there was another "crash" sound.
Well, her hands are too small to hold so many things.
Lin Yuan closed his eyes in pain and did not look at the bamboo strips scattered on the ground.
In the lobby, a sigh came...
