Chapter 41: Sincerity
The two finally came to Bao Liang's meditation room, and Bao Liang still said with a kind smile: "Xiao Xiaoyou is finally here, haha, it seems that Xiao You doesn't like Lao Gu a little, Jueyu has been invited for so long, and Xiaoyou is willing to appreciate his face." ”
Xiao Yao saluted and said: "The master is highly respected and intends to invite him, how dare I not come, but I had a discussion with the little monk on the way, and I delayed some time." ”
Bao Liang was startled at first, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect Xiao Xiaoyou to not only be literate, but also strong in martial arts, Jueyu has been practicing martial arts since childhood, martial arts are still possible, Xiaoyou can learn from him for so long, it is really powerful, amazing!" ”
Xiao Yao waved his hand and said: "He just wanted me to do it, otherwise he would have been beaten down by him, the master should call me Shiro, be kind, let's get straight to the point, the master will not invite Shiro to come just to drink tea, right?" ”
"Haha, Shiro is really a smart person! Jueyu, you go out and keep guard, no one is allowed to come in! Bao Liang commanded.
There were only the two of them left in the meditation room, Xiao Yao touched the revolver on his waist, he was not polite, he came directly to Bao Liang and sat down, picked up a cup of tea and drank it.
Bao Liang smiled and said, "Shiro's performance today is really an eye-opener for Lao Ke! A benevolent heartbeat, so that the old man and these old friends are convinced! ”
Xiao Yao finished drinking a cup, refilled another cup and said while drinking: "The master has won the award, but Shiro has followed the master to wander the world since he was a child, and he has seen many talented people, including high-ranking monks, so I will talk nonsense today." ”
"Good and good, Shiro is destined to be a person, and he can be enlightened by a high monk, but this also depends on Shiro's own intelligence and understanding, Lao Wei just can't understand, Shiro is so smart, why would he choose a dead end?" Bao Liang suddenly looked at Xiao Yao with a cold light in his eyes.
Xiao Yao didn't dodge, but looked at Bao Liang casually, looked at each other, and then smiled: "Since we are all smart people, let's stop going around and around, the master said that I chose a dead end, wouldn't the master not understand that we only have this way to go?" ”
"Our master and apprentice were exiled in Jiangzhou, but they met the Julong Gang and assisted Brother Li in exterminating the water thieves, but they caused both Taishou and Assassin Shi to suffer miserably, hehe, let's not say that these two officials and bandits colluded, and they died innocently, the master and His Royal Highness the Prince were close, and when I learned that these two people were dead, the prince did not blame us?"
This time it was Bao Liang's turn to be a little embarrassed, at that time, Jiangzhou was drastic, and two high-ranking officials of the department died suddenly, which really caught the prince off guard, so that Chen Shuling picked up a cheap one and became the assassin of Jiangzhou, of course, the prince was so angry that he scolded Xiao Yao and their group of initiators, and shouted revenge to vent his hatred!
Xiao Yao saw Bao Liang dodging his gaze, and knew that this was the case, so he continued to laugh and said: "I was accepted by my father-in-law and came to Jinling, but my master and brother are still in Jiangzhou, that is the territory of His Royal Highness King Xing, do we dare not listen to His Royal Highness King Xing's words?" ”
"We have always been involuntarily, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only did not help, but even had the heart of revenge, but now he says that we have chosen a dead end, so may I ask the master, what path can we choose?" Xiao Yao asked.
"You mean to say that you don't really take refuge in King Xing?" Bao Liang seemed to hear the point.
"No, no, no, it can't be called refuge, this word seems that we are too cheap, we and His Royal Highness King Xing can only be regarded as supporting each other and cooperating with each other at present!" Xiao Yao played a word game.
"Hmph, not taking refuge? King Xing first mobilized the resources of the entire Jiangzhou to assist the General Commercial Bank to open an iron workshop, and then funded the construction of a sugar mill, which made this ancestor boss a figure of the year in Jinling, if you didn't take refuge in King Xing, he would help you like this? Bao Liang was a little angry.
"Hehe, then I have to ask you how far you have forced His Royal Highness King Xing, just like us, when a person is cornered, he suddenly sees a glimmer of life, of course he has to catch it!" Xiao Yao still smiled.
Bao Liang smiled coldly, and said with a cold light in his eyes: "Oh, according to Shiro, he is determined to go against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Then don't blame us for being ruthless, this is the Light House Temple! ”
Xiao Yao touched the pistol on his waist, and said with a cold light: "I dare to come and talk to the master alone, I won't be afraid that this is the Guangzhai Temple!" I believe that the master also knows, at the beginning, the three of us master and apprentice were able to rescue the righteous father from the hands of the Julong Gang, and what I am best at is not playing tricks! ”
Bao Liang was startled, and suddenly remembered the report sent back by the spies, this kid in front of him is best at making firearms mechanisms, and he used a mysterious weapon that can explode to blow up the Julong Gang on their backs! Could it be that today he 。。。。。。
Seeing Bao Liang's complicated expression, Xiao Yao withdrew his cold light and smiled: "Master, please calm your anger, the master is a monk, how can he be angry so easily, when he is angry, his heart will be chaotic, and when his heart is confused, his brain will not be bright." Actually, I've said so much, hasn't the master heard what it means? What way did the prince go? ”
Bao Liang was shocked again, this son is really powerful, a few words angered me, so that I almost forgot the purpose of today! Then he immediately regained his kind appearance and said with a smile: "Good, good, what if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to solicit regardless of his previous suspicions?" ”
"Haha, the masters all say that I am a smart person, do you think I will answer such a question?" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness King Xing was the first assassin of Jiangzhou, and there should be no transfer in the past two years, but my master is still in Jiangzhou... ”
Bao Liang smiled: "If you are afraid of King Xing's revenge, you can rest assured, after you arrive in Jinling, the prince will naturally protect you and prevent King Xing from hurting you in the slightest!" ”
Xiao Yao still shook his head and said: "Master, the three of us master and apprentice can wander the world in such a troubled world but still live, relying on not easily trusting others, if you believe others with just a few words, this is a taboo in the rivers and lakes!" ”
Bao Liang said angrily: "Then what do you mean? Ambiguous, grass on the wall, swinging on both sides, this is also a taboo in the rivers and lakes! ”
Xiao Yao smiled and said, "So now we are talking here!" We never wanted to go against the Crown Prince, the master said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intended to solicit, but we did not feel the slightest sincerity, even at this moment, I still feel all kinds of threats from you, how can we believe this? ”
Seeing that Bao Liang just wanted to refute, Xiao Yao stopped him and said: "Okay, Shiro doesn't want to argue with the master anymore, I'll give you a sincerity first, of course, this doesn't mean that we will submit to His Royal Highness the Prince, all our master and apprentice want is a stable life, and everyone will be prosperous and rich together!" ”
"Let me tell you a secret, although the General Merchant Bank is now in the limelight and has the potential to become the second largest commercial firm in the Chen Kingdom in one fell swoop, but so far, the General Merchant Bank still cannot contribute half a tael of silver to His Royal Highness King Xing!"
When Bao Liang heard this, he was really taken aback: "This is true!" It's impossible, not to mention the iron produced by the general iron workshop, the quality is high, the price is much higher than others, the white sugar produced by the general sugar workshop alone, was ordered by the emperor as a tribute, and was sold to the two countries of Zhou and Qi, although it is less than a month, but I believe that a lot of silver has been earned! How could he not have offered half a tael of silver to King Xing! ”
