Chapter 1098: Yuan Tiangang's conditions
"When...... Seriously? ”
As soon as Dugu Yu heard Yuan Tiangang's words, he suddenly lost the color on his face, and he no longer had the faint smile that habitually hung on the corners of his mouth.
Even Hu Bilie, who was repeatedly warned by Yuan Tiangang not to speak without permission, immediately couldn't sit still, opened his mouth wide, and shouted in excitement and disbelief: "Living Immortal, do you old man really have a way to get back that gold brick for us without much effort?" ”
After finishing speaking, he immediately regretted it, grandma's, why did he make a cheap mouth again, and start babbling blindly about the words of the old fairy?
Regret and regret, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful of Yuan Tiangang in his heart, since your old man has a way to get back the gold brick in Lingnan City without much effort, why didn't he say it earlier? Let Hu lose 100,000 sect members in vain, not to mention, but also share such a big benefit with Dugu Yu, a kid. Isn't this cheaper Dugu for nothing?
Yuan Tiangang glanced sideways at Hu Bilie, and did not answer his question, but warned Hu Bilie with a small look in his eyes, signaling him to silence and not talk much.
Then, he set his eyes on Dugu Yu, with a look like a Zhizhu in his hand, and replied briskly with a slight bow: "Naturally, hehe, Dugu Gongzi, whether the old man's words are taken seriously or not, it's not just a matter of saying it, but seeing is believing, right?" ”
Dugu Yu nodded noncommittally and snorted. Xindao, of course, you can't just take back the gold bricks with your mouth, saying that there is a way to get back the gold bricks.
Yuan Tiangang said again: "In this case, do you think it is necessary for the old man to brag to you here?" Only when the old man takes this gold brick and puts it in front of you can he count it, right? ”
Duguyu is a smart person, and he has always believed that pies will not fall from the sky, and he firmly believes that there is no love in this world for no reason.
Immediately, his mind turned, and he asked slyly: "Old man, there is no free banquet in the world. It seems that you appeared here at the right time today, not simply to play a round for Sect Master Hu. Hey, it's the most beautiful thing in the world to be able to easily retrieve that gold brick without a single soldier, but ...... Hehe, as the saying goes, although the taste of puffer fish is beautiful, it will also kill people if they are taken rashly. Right? ”
Dugu Yu's words were sharp, Hu Bilie couldn't understand it, but how could Yuan Tiangang not understand?
He smiled: "Dugu Gongzi is really a dragon and a phoenix among people, and he can understand it at one point." Hey, you hundreds of thousands of White Lotus Sects first besieged Qianzhou City, and then forcibly crossed the Heishui River to break through Lingnan City, spending so much manpower and material resources, for what? Naturally, it is for the mouth-watering gold bricks in the city. The old man can solve such a big trouble for you, so naturally he will not help in vain. The old man has two conditions, you must promise the old man. ”
Dugu Yu listened to Yuan Tiangang say this, but his heart was a lot more relieved and steady, and the same faint smile appeared on his face again, and he was relieved in his heart, it should be like this, this son has never believed in such a fluke as pie in the sky.
Immediately, he stretched out his hand and asked, "Old man, please speak, and I will reply after listening to your conditions." ”
"First, the Dugu family must always be consistent with Sect Leader Hu and work with one heart and one mind. When the time comes, you must keep your previous promise, wait for the opportunity to completely eradicate the father and son of the family, and hand over the White Lotus Sect Protector Army to the hands of the Hu Sect Master. After Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, Hu Bilie immediately cast a grateful look, and his heart was secretly moved, it seems that the living immortals are still facing him.
Dugu Yu was slightly stunned, but he was instantly relieved, and after laughing twice, he didn't want to nod his head and respond: "This matter, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, if it weren't for Sect Master Hu's refusal to put his heart into me before, how could he provoke him with words?" Okay, I promised you the old man the first condition, but what is the second condition? ”
Yuan Tiangang continued: "This second condition is not so much a condition as a requirement. If you want to get back the gold brick in Lingnan City without much effort, you must first meet the next second requirement! ”
This made Duguyu confused, and asked incomprehensibly: "What does the old man mean by this?" ”
Yuan Tiangang didn't rush to explain, but asked rhetorically: "Dugu Gongzi should know very well by now who is in charge of Lingnan City on the other side of the Heishui River, right?" ”
Dugu Yu snorted, and said eloquently: "Of course I know, this person's surname is Guo Mingye, and he is now in the limelight in the Tang Dynasty and is quite valued by Li Shimin. He was officially named the general manager of the march on Guangnan Road, and he was given the title of Pingyang County Duke. I heard that although this person is young, he is very deep in the city and has extremely high wrists. A few days ago, Emperor Li Yuan conspired with King Lu and other three sons to rebel, but they were brutally destroyed by this person surnamed Guo. Moreover, even the people who rose and fell in the sea such as the eldest grandson Wuji were defeated by this person, expelled from Chang'an by Li Shimin, and demoted to the common people and never used. Hey, now this person has been ordered to come to the south to quell the rebellion, and Qianzhou City has become an empty city overnight, so I can't wait for it, hmph, it's his ghost. This person is really a big problem for me! ”
Speaking of this, Dugu Yu seemed to think of something, and asked again: "Old man, your second condition, could it be that you still have something to do with the Guo thief in Lingnan City on the other side?" ”
"A little bit."
Yuan Tiangang was secretly frightened that Dugu Yu was well-informed, and continued: "Do you know what the relationship between Yu Shinan, who was imprisoned by you in Guangzhou Mansion, and Guo Ye? ”
Yu Shinan?
Dugu Yu's mind suddenly came up with the old sour Confucian who would rather bend than bend and abuse and surrender, and is now under house arrest in his brother Dugu Mu's military camp.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something again, and suddenly realized: "The dog thief surnamed Guo studied in Guozijian back then, and it seems that this old sour Confucian surnamed Yu has the friendship of teachers and students. Oh oh, I understand, the old man means that he wants to use this old sour man to coerce the Guo thief in Lingnan City on the other side, force him to comply, and let him obediently send someone to send a boat to send the gold bricks over? ”
"Wrong!"
"Big mistake!"
Yuan Tiangang heavily denied Duguyu's speculation, and then solemnly warned: "The old man believes that if you dare to do this, the bamboo basket will be empty, and you will not be able to get anything in the end." Let's not mention that Yu Shinan is notoriously pedantic, he would rather die and be martyred than let you threaten and persecute Guo Ye. Moreover, according to the old man's understanding of Guo Ye, this son is also known for his fierce temper, although the city is deep, but if he touches his reverse scales, he will definitely be with you rather than a broken jade! ”
Dugu Yuhu asked, "What does the old man want to do?" ”
"Swap! Swap with each other! ”
Yuan Tiangang said: "If the old man personally escorts Yu Shinan and talks with Guo Ye face-to-face, the old man dares to guarantee that he will be able to exchange Yu Shinan from Guo Ye for the gold brick that you will never forget." Therefore, the second request of the old man is that you quickly send someone to your brother in Guangzhou Mansion to bring Yu Shinanti here, and then the old man will personally escort him across the river, the sooner the better! ”
"Oh, I see!"
Dugu Yu nodded subconsciously and said, "It is also a good deal to take an old immortal who is useless and has good food and drink to exchange it for that gold brick." Yes, this condition, he is normal, this son replied...... Hey? That's not right!! ”
Dugu Yu suddenly woke up, stared at Yuan Tiangang with a guarded look, his voice suddenly became clear, and he asked coldly: "Old man, just with one Yu Shinan, the surname Guo will be willing to hand over those gold bricks of immeasurable value?" You know, that's enough to pay the taxes that the dynasty has accumulated over the years. ”
Yuan Tiangang secretly scolded the little fox, then changed his arrogant appearance, and replied confidently: "Of course, just one Yu Shinan is not enough for Guo Ye to willingly give back those gold bricks." However, what if you add the old man's personal lobbying across the river? ”
"You personally crossed the river to lobby the surname Guo? Will he listen to you lobby? ”
Dugu Yu was obviously suspicious of Yuan Tiangang's words, and said bluntly: "You are just a mountain village man, at best, you are an old man with a little more trickery, why is the surname Guo willing to listen to your lobbying?" Besides, what if you take Yu Shinan across the river to see Guo Thief's invitation and don't go back? Hehe, what does this son use to believe you? ”
