Chapter 44: Night is Coming

When Song Zhi was planning how to abolish Duan Pingsheng, he was rushing to Zhenlong Pavilion to meet Zhuang Bancheng with a small stool under the protection of Jia Longyang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Along the way, Duan Pingsheng was thinking about how to negotiate terms with Zhuang Bancheng, and he always looked out the car window and found that there were more refugees in Youzhou City. These people are homeless, all of them are in destitute shape, and if they want to find some work or send someone under the fence, they will be looked at by the people of Youzhou, and this kind of scene may be more in the future.

The carriage gradually stopped, Duan Pingsheng retracted his gaze and looked at the three big characters of "Zhenlong Pavilion".

Tomorrow, Zhenlong Pavilion will hold the triennial Zhenlong Pinqi, although the Longmian Mountain side will have a certain impact on Zhenlong Pinqi, but this is the day of death in the early years, Zhuang Bancheng can only hope that the final harvest will not be too low than expected. Now the Zhenlong Pavilion is engrossed in the preparation of Zhenlong Pinqi, and even the door is not opened, and is always committed to the final arrangement.

Seeing Duan Pingsheng's arrival, the gatekeeper immediately notified Zhuang Bancheng, and Boss Zhuang didn't let him wait long, so he personally came forward to greet him.

"Haha, the arrival of the prince really makes the small shop shine!"

Duan Pingsheng arched his hand, looking at this dignified middle-aged wealthy businessman, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. His second ring main quest reversed his prestige, although because of Zhuang Bancheng's rebellion, he successfully prevented the continued deterioration, but perhaps due to excess, or rumors, the final progress stopped before the completion of the node, and there was no change, which made Duan Pingsheng helpless.

And the other task of disseminating the "Book of Refining Bodies" has not made much progress, and until now, those people in the rivers and lakes who have picked the door have not been able to gather all the notes, and because of Zhuang Bancheng and his plays, they have temporarily given up the idea of searching for the "Book of Refining Bodies", so they are also in trouble.

And Duan Pingsheng came today to solve these two problems, and at the same time to talk about some secret transactions.

After the greetings, Zhuang Bancheng led everyone in, although he was wealthy, but the decoration structure of this Zhenlong Pavilion was extremely elegant, not much luxury, some were worried that they would step on the small stool on the dirty floor, and felt that this place was not so extravagant, so he couldn't help but look around with curiosity. And because Duan Pingsheng and Zhuang Bancheng had some secrets to discuss, he asked Jia Longyang to take a small stool to walk around.

Under the leadership of Zhuang Bancheng, Duan Pingsheng walked into a secret room on the second floor, which was absolutely closed and was a place for Boss Zhuang to meet important guests.

The two sat opposite each other, Zhuang Bancheng said straight to the point: "It's not a secret, Zhuang and the king of thieves are old acquaintances, and the objects in his hands that are not easy to deal with are generally handed over to Zhenlong Pavilion to deal with. ā€

Duan Pingsheng nodded lightly, although the process was a bit difficult, but it was he who made the profit in the end, and Song Zhi also fell on his heels, so he didn't care much about who the director of the play was.

Zhuang Bancheng suddenly had a few more silver tickets in his hand, all of which were the large face value of the Huangzhuang ticket number, he put them on the small table and pushed them in front of Duan Pingsheng: "Lord Wang, this is 40,000 taels of silver tickets, and the thief king entrusts it to you." ā€

Duan Pingsheng glanced at it lightly, and returned two of them, Zhuang Bancheng was a little puzzled: "Lord Wang, what do you mean by this?" Don't you look down on me Zhuang? Every year, Zhenlong Pavilion has to donate more than 100,000 taels to the border army, and it is not bad for 20,000 taels! ā€

"The dealer will accept it for the time being, this king actually has a reluctant invitation!" Duan Pingsheng waved his hand, and Zhuang Bancheng let him speak very clearly.

"Yesterday, I heard that in the list read out by the Zhuang Yuanwai, there is a thousand-year-old Western Regions Fire Bodhi, and this king is a little urgent, so I implore the Zhuang Yuanwai not to go through the Zhenlong Pinqi, and sell it directly to the next."

To complete the second part of the "Book of Body Refining", you need the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and there are four of them in Duan Pingsheng's Chonglou ring, but only the fire-based medicinal materials are missing, especially the thousand-year-old rare treasures, which are rare in the world.

Zhuang Bancheng suddenly realized, and said in his heart that King Wuyou was waiting for him here, yesterday he not only told the millennium Western Regions Fire Bodhi, but also directly revealed the reserve price, obviously, King Wuyou wanted to use the reserve price to cut off the beard, inside and out, his 20,000 taels of silver will definitely not be lost. Zhuang Bancheng had the heart to befriend Duan Pingsheng, but he still had to think carefully about such a loss-making business, but when Duan Pingsheng said a word coldly, he directly asked Boss Zhuang to stand up from the vacant ground.

"Does the prince really have a strange book of refining in his hands?"

Even though he had known the Thief King for many years, the latter had not revealed this secret to him, how could he not be very excited at first glance? The Four Great Strange Books of Martial Arts are not in vain, and he immediately reacted: "Could it be that the Strange Book of Refining the Body needs to use Fire Bodhi?" I see! I said why was the thief king so happy that day, it turned out that he really got the refining book! ā€

Duan Pingsheng didn't hide it at this time, and directly threw the first two articles of the "Body Refining Book" that he had copied again on the table, and smiled slightly: "This king wants to make a big deal, I don't know what Boss Zhuang wants?" ā€

Zhuang Bancheng stared at the "Body Refining Book", his eyes couldn't be taken off at all, and he shouted again and again: "The prince said it's okay!" ā€

……

After negotiating for a long time, Duan Pingsheng only felt that talking about the conditions with an old fox like Zhuang Bancheng was far more consuming than fighting with others, but fortunately, the process went smoothly, not only did the thousand-year-old Western Regions Fire Bodhi get his hands smoothly, but also let him take two Shang and Zhou ancient jades that were also on the "stolen list" for nothing, and finally left a full seven thousand taels of silver, not only could he calculate his promise to the guards, even if he gave the little stool a sky-high private school, he could still have a lot of silver left.

In general, the negotiations with Zhuang Bancheng were tiring and pleasant.

Standing on the Zhenlong Pavilion and watching Duan Pingsheng leave, Zhuang Bancheng gently wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, he still can't see why Duan Pingsheng proposed such a deal, although he paid for the thousand-year-old fire Bodhi and two ancient jades, but after careful calculation, he still made a lot of money.

"It's weird, I've always heard that King Wuyou is a nerd, but when it comes to conditions, how can he be more Taoist than me?" Zhuang Bancheng couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to figure it out, so he took a sip of tea and moistened his throat and hurriedly went out to instruct his guys to prepare for his deal with Duan Pingsheng.

In Youzhou City, not only have there been more refugees, but martial arts people with swords and sharp weapons have also become ubiquitous, Duan Pingsheng estimated that if he hadn't acted with Zhuang Bancheng that day, denying that the palace had a strange book of body refining, otherwise these martial artists would probably stop the car on the street and rob it directly. And on the way, he always thought about when to start refining the dirt, because once he started refining the dirt, no one could disturb him for five hours, otherwise his previous efforts would be wasted, and he might even die immediately.

Although compared to the other three strange books, the "Book of Refining Bodies" does not involve the secret books of advanced mental methods and martial arts, but it only takes five hours to turn decay into magical effects, which is also incomparable to the classics of the three religions. Of course, if you use ordinary medicinal materials to refine your body, it will be far more than five hours, and it will be difficult to achieve such a mysterious effect, but the one used by Duan Pingsheng is almost the highest thousand-year-old treasure, and the effect is naturally extraordinary.

After careful consideration, Duan Pingsheng finally decided that this matter should be done sooner rather than later, and after meeting with Yushui tonight, he will begin to complete the key step of his rebirth!

When Duan Pingsheng returned to the palace, it happened to be the time when King Yan's family said goodbye, seeing Song Zhi's happy expression, Duan Pingsheng immediately realized that something was wrong, he originally wanted to take advantage of the poisonous woman's suspicious temperament to take the opportunity to disturb the marriage between Li Qingmei and Li Jiangbei, who knew that not only failed to stop the success, but also played a role in boosting.

Glimpsing the appearance of the little woman Li Qingmei following in front of Princess Yan, Duan Pingsheng only felt that he was far from being able to find a last resort, especially in the initial stage of the current shortage of soldiers and major generals, I am afraid that there are many such difficult to reverse the situation.

Seeing Li Zhong, the king of Yan, he wanted to say hello in his life, and bowed slightly: "The little nephew has seen the king of Yan!" ā€

Li Zhong looked at Duan Pingsheng, compared with Li Changfeng and Li Jiangbei in his mind, and secretly shook his head, such a thin body did not have the posture that a county king should have, thinking about how heroic Li Changfeng was at the beginning, and how Li Jiangbei stood out from the crowd now. It's a pity and hateful, the Wuwang Mansion has declined after all......

King Yan imagined this in his heart, but he smiled and said: "Well, Jiangnan is back, going out of the house more is good for the body." This king has just negotiated the Qingmei marriage with Mrs. Xuanhua, and after a few days when Jiangbei returns, he will hold an engagement banquet in my house. ā€

Sure enough, we're getting engaged!

Duan Pingsheng glanced at Song Zhi without a trace, and the latter's smug eyes were even more secretly murderous, which made him feel a pang in his heart, and then took out two items from his arms, one was the Panlong Strange Stone, and the other was the Shang Zhou Ancient Jade that he asked for from Zhuang Bancheng. Although Duan Pingsheng was reluctant to return the Panlong Strange Stone at this time, with King Yan here, he couldn't pretend not to know, so he could only choose to endure the pain and cut his love.

offended Li Qingmei, and there must be some blood, otherwise King Yan will blame him, but it is not a small fight like Song Zhi that can be easily resolved. And these two pieces of Shang Zhou Ancient Jade have a lot of effect, Zhuang Bancheng gave them to Duan Pingsheng, but he was also afraid that he would make some mistakes, resulting in the failure of the transaction, Duan Pingsheng had no other suitable things at hand, so he could only take out one of them.

"The little nephew inadvertently collided with the lord of Qingmei, and he was very guilty, this stone was returned to the original owner, and another ancient jade was presented to express his heart."

Li Qingmei didn't show a good face when she saw Duan Pingsheng, he almost made himself have a fate with Brother Jiangbei, and he didn't even want to look at him, let alone accept what he touched! The county lord of Qingmei immediately said unceremoniously: "The lord of this county has it, you can keep the things, and you should send it to Hanako." ā€

"Ome!"

Yan Wang Li Zhong snorted, Duan Pingsheng is so knowledgeable about etiquette, as the county lord, he shouldn't be so gaffe anyway, fortunately, it seems that Duan Pingsheng didn't show embarrassment, so he explained slightly: "Qingmei lacks discipline, and please don't mind Jiangnan's nephew, since she said no, you can take this stone, and treat it as her disrespectful apology." ā€

After speaking, the family of Li Zhong, the king of Yan, left slowly, and when Li Qingmei was in front of him, she also barked at Duan Pingsheng's tiger teeth and grimaced. Duan Pingsheng stroked the bridge of his nose, and said in his heart that he was afraid that he had really offended the county lord of Qingmei to death, and it would inevitably be more troublesome in the future. And Song Zhi saw Duan Pingsheng's contemplative appearance, his eyes were slightly cold, and he once again strengthened the idea of getting rid of the disaster as soon as possible, since Lu Jiang intended to assign Lu Chengfeng, then the palace would talk to him well, and maybe he could solve the difficulty of the white-clothed shadow guard.

Glaring at Duan Pingsheng coldly, Song Zhi flicked his sleeves and left.

Frowning his brows, Duan Pingsheng's heart moved slightly, and he felt more and more that this night would not be peaceful.
