Noon the next day.
Liao Yong arrived as scheduled with his cronies.
After the money and goods were paid, the cronies left with the goods.
There was only one follower left beside Liao Yong.
After receiving five hundred taels, Xie Fan stood up and said, "General, let's drink this!"
"Sit down!" Liao Yong picked up the wine glass and looked at the other person's appearance, "We haven't seen each other for a few days. Brother Xie has lost a lot of weight, but what problem have you encountered?"
With Zhang Chao's help, Xie Fan sat down shivering, "Nothing can be hidden from the general's eyes! A few days ago, while preparing goods for the general, I encountered a robber and was slightly injured!"
Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment, almost revealing his secret, and quickly collected his emotions.
Liao Yong slapped the table and got angry, "Where did the robbers come from in my defense area? Do you know where they come from?"
"The Mountain God Gang! Everyone has extraordinary skills and is very arrogant!" Zhang Chao echoed, but in fact he had never seen these people before.
Xie Fan smiled softly. These people learned the art of lying very quickly. He pointed to the game on the table, "General, let's chat while we eat!"
By the way, the reputation of this Mountain God Gang is not small.
The court knew about this group of robbers. But it is strange that for such a long time, there was no order to clear it up, but it was avoided and ignored.
Although those game meats were precious, Liao Yong couldn't chew them very well. "Brother Xie, this is not easy to handle. It's better to be more careful in the future!"
Xie Fan tasted the taste of the words and said no more, "How many more of this set meal does the general need? No matter how difficult it is, I will prepare it for you."
Liao Yong made a little profit through the sale of set meals, not much. "Let's continue with the set meal, and you can change the items. Now, to be honest, these things don't make much money!"
"Let me do some calculations first. What is the approximate price?"
"The price is twelve taels, I'll take the goods with you for eight taels, and I don't care about the rest!"
After hearing this, Zhang Chao quit and said, "General Liao, this price is too low. How do you want the young master to prepare it?"
Liao Yong took a drink and said, "You are a promising kid. Do you know how to speak to the new owner?"
Xie Fan's lips turned white and his eyes wandered, "What did the general just say? Why didn't I hear clearly?"
The last time he bought a sword, Liao Yong was seriously injured. He did this just to get more benefits. Just when he was about to get angry, he saw Wen Hua coming with something.
He thought for a moment, what should I say? Xie Fan is also his brother, "Brother Xie, can I get the goods for ten taels of silver? I've already stepped forward, so you have to give me some face, right?"
Xie Fan didn't say anything, but took the sketch from Wen Hua, "General, how about you take a look at this picture first?"
Liao Yong looked at it and saw that it was a picture of a house, but he was a layman. "This house looks grand and unique. It's a bit interesting."
"I heard that you are busy with military affairs. Why don't you bring your family members to the mountain and I will take care of them for you!" Xie Fan said very implicitly and kept winking at the other party.
Liao Yong was a little confused. What's so good about Taiyin Mountain? After a moment, he had an epiphany, "Brother Xie, do you know something?"
"The mountains are high and the roads are far away. If Madam were here, I could enjoy some peace and quiet for a few days!" Xie Fan shook his head in denial and said to himself.
Liao Yong pushed the man away and asked in a low voice, "Is this house going to be built for me?"
"Am I not asking the general for instructions?"
Xie Fan is confident and Yuan must win over him. This is a long-term plan. Even if you sacrifice some money, it is worth it.
Liao Yong drank a glass quietly, recalling all the things he had known about Xie Fan. This person does have some abilities and is worthy of trust. Even with the status of a general in hand, he would not be at a disadvantage.
He looked around and asked carefully, "Brother Xie, are you willing to keep a secret for me?"
"my pleasure!"
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll tell you the truth!"
Xie Fan pricked up his ears in anticipation.
"I have a concubine named Xiaocui who I keep outside. For some reasons, I cannot take her home."
Xie Fan pretended to be surprised, and then gave the other party a look that could only be understood but not expressed.
Liao Yong swallowed and said in a deep voice, "Brother Xie's house has solved my urgent need! You will see when the house will be built, and I will send someone to pick up Xiaocui!"
"The house is built..."
Xie Fan responded enthusiastically, his expression gradually stiffening, "You won't pick up Madam?"
"My family property is not here. My wife is here, who can help me take care of it?" Liao Yong explained while touching his belly, "Xiao Cui is pregnant. It's a good idea to come to your place to raise the baby!"
Xie Fan's face turned pale. If this happened, wouldn't his work be in vain? Not only has there been no easing of tension with the Yuan family, but once exposed, it will worsen the situation and deepen the grudge.
He immediately objected, "General, aren't you making things difficult for me? This is not possible. If Madam comes, I will support it with both hands!"
Liao Yong patted the table, "Xiao Cui is also my family member! Xie Fan, don't you know how to show appreciation!"
"Grandma, I have such a bad temper! I have the final say in this matter, no!"
"Laozi! Why are you so arrogant? If it weren't for me, would you be where you are today?"
"Young Master, I am naturally beautiful and conceited. I am a hit wherever I go!"
"Sir, come on, pull the team over! Today, I have to show off with you!"
Liao Yong's face was red, his neck was thick, and his saliva was flying everywhere.
Although Xie Fan was weak, he was able to bear it in one breath and not fall behind.
The people nearby looked on sideways.
No one expected that Xie Fan, from a powerful family, would be a tough guy facing a general like Liao Yong.
For a moment, no one dared to step forward.
Zhang Chao sent someone to stop Liao Yong's entourage and approached him, "General, young master, please stop arguing. If you have anything to say, let's talk it over!"
"Look at your general. He is so unkind and he dropped a time bomb on me?"
"What is a time bomb? Who threw it for you? Look at your young master. If he doesn't show loyalty to friends, what's so good about him?"
"Grandpa is so proud. Grandpa dares to go against the Mountain God Gang. Do you dare?"
"Who are you saying you don't dare? Call the Mountain God Gang! I don't dare? I'm your grandson! When grandpa went into battle to kill the enemy, you were still wearing diapers!"
"Holy crap! When your son is born, I'll put pepper spray on his diapers!"
"You are right. This time, I am sure to have a son! Do you have a son? Just go ahead and dream!"
The two began to argue with each other, and then gradually started to fight each other.
Xie Fan was a little exhausted and obviously at a disadvantage.
Zhang Chao has very good ears, and he vaguely heard the conversation between the two. In desperation, he shouted, "Stop fighting now! I have a proposal!"
Xie Fan was pushed to the ground by Liao Yong, gasping for air, "Say!"
Liao Yong also moved his gaze, but he never let go of his hand.
"Selling the house to General Liao, won't it be settled?"
