Chapter 269: Negotiation
After retiring Jia Longyang, Nian Nujiao and others, Duan Pingsheng hurried back to his courtyard, and when he raised his eyes, he saw an uninhibited figure in the pavilion, it was the immortal who was rising steadily, he saw Duan Pingsheng appear, leaning on the pillar and said with a smile: "The villain is rashly disturbed, and please don't blame the prince." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Duan Pingsheng glanced at the fish, unwilling to deal too much with this person, the temporary alliance between the two was just to use each other, now Duan Pingsheng is no longer in a state of isolation, and he has become a big celebrity in front of Luo Hou, and the external predicament cannot cause trouble for the time being, so the contradiction between the two has gradually become the mainstream.
The beggar gang is gradually on the right track, whether it is Duan Pingsheng or Yu Deshui, they all want to monopolize this green but extremely attractive fruit, so Duan Pingsheng has already started to clean up the people in the beggar gang, who belong to the fish in water, of course, Yu Deshui also has the same calculation.
"Say, what is the matter of seeking the king?"
Duan Pingsheng hadn't even walked to the pavilion before he asked a question, he wanted to send this person away earlier, because there were still guests to come to visit later.
The fish did not challenge Duan Pingsheng's patience, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Yu someone used the Longmen intelligence network to find some martial artists who entered the city in a foolish manner, and among these people, in addition to the dragon hunters and the idle rivers and lakes, there are also some gamblers of the Qitian Guild. If the prince thinks that you can sit back and relax with the palace and many subordinates, it is a big mistake, after all, you also know that when we are a gambler of this level, who doesn't have a few hole cards in their hands? ā
Hearing this, Duan Pingsheng glanced at the fish in water, knowing that this guy's words had a deep meaning, he didn't do much research, but said lightly: "Thank you for reminding, if there is nothing else, please go back!" ā
"Don't mind!" The fish is fanning the wind, "On this hot day, the villain finally has time to come to the palace to take a stroll and escape the heat, the prince doesn't need to rush to catch people, right?" ā
However, Duan Pingsheng didn't appreciate it, and a few silver needles appeared in his hand.
I don't know if he is afraid of Duan Pingsheng's sword qi flying needle, anyway, he immediately waved his hand again and again, and hurriedly said: "Alas, it's not a secret, the villain is actually here to ask the prince, how to deal with the impact of the release of the hidden dragon?" ā
Although he didn't guess that Duan Pingsheng was only ranked last, he didn't expect that the word "Duan Pingsheng" was displayed on the Dinglong Stone. But he knew that Duan Pingsheng's real name was definitely more influential than Li Jiangnan, especially when he was at the bottom of the Hidden Dragon List.
It's not that he has a lot of heart, but he really feels that it is normal for others to be at the end, but when he Duan Pingsheng reached that position, it definitely implies that it is strange, and it is not ordinary strange!
Of course, he couldn't ask this question openly, and Duan Pingsheng himself had doubts about this matter, with his strength and talent, how could he enter the top 100, but who knew that there was such a puzzling situation.
In this regard, Duan Pingsheng can only blame it on the hand behind his back, secretly pushing it.
As for the problem of getting the fish in water, Duan Pingsheng was not perfunctory, but replied solemnly: "The release of the hidden dragon list has indeed caused a lot of trouble, whether it is a temple or a river and lake, it will cause a lot of waves, and now this king has felt that resistance is looming in Youzhou City, and the reason why the dragon hunters were able to attack in a big way last night was because of the intentional indulgence of all parties in Youzhou." ā
"Fortunately, in Heming Town, this king personally cut off the head of the high priest of Helan of the Khitan alien race, attracting many martial arts people in Liaodong, and he will not be an enemy of the palace for the time being, as for the forces coming from other places, it is not something that this king has to consider now."
Yu Deshui nodded lightly, and was surprised: "The prince has a lifetime, that is called a shocking ghost god, although he has changed his body, but it has also disturbed the world is not peaceful, if the prince has any requirements, you can know it, and the fish will go all out!" ā
After saying that, he used his wonderful light skills to sneak out of the palace, and he didn't know if he was here to escape the heat.
But Duan Pingsheng stood in the courtyard thoughtfully, until the chief housekeeper Shen Gong came to inform him that the guard of the West City came to pay a visit, and then slowly came to the lobby and saw Cao An, who was a little restless.
The last time he came to the door, Cao An brought a lot of valuable gifts, although Duan Pingsheng said that he was not short of these silvers, but accepting it always made this General Cao feel at ease, and the two had already agreed that after the Assassin's Mansion set up a banquet, Cao An would come to the door again.
These days, Cao An is really a little uncomfortable, although he has the promise of Duan Pingsheng, but he also understands that Duan Pingsheng's status in Youzhou City is still a little embarrassing, especially after the Qianlong is released, it makes him feel that his head is seven or eight times out of ten.
Seeing Duan Pingsheng, Cao An's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly wanted to ask about the situation, but he still closed his mouth, got up and asked An: "I have seen the prince in my humble position." ā
"Hmm."
Duan Pingsheng replied lightly, and did not directly say that he had reached a deal with Nie Fengdi, but just beckoned Cao An to sit down. Seeing that he was expressionless, his heart suddenly turned dark, and he couldn't help but think of his fate, he used his position to help Lu Sansi Group deliver benefits, and he did make a lot of money, but the matter was revealed, and it was certain that he lost his black yarn hat, as for whether his life was guaranteed, it depended on whether his family wealth could let the top few people open the golden mouth.
"Lord ......"
Cao An moved his mouth, moaning a little choked, not that his heart was not strong, but the road ahead was extremely dark, he asked with a gloomy expression: "In this matter, there is really no room for turnaround?" Even if I, Cao An, have been stained with silver that shouldn't be touched, but I have been guarding the city gate conscientiously over the years, and there has never been a problem, even if there is no merit, there is hard work! ā
Duan Pingsheng looked at the emotional Cao An quietly, raised his hand and pressed it, signaling him not to be excited, and then said slowly: "This matter is actually a bit eyebrow-raising. ā
What the?
Cao An immediately jumped up from the chair: "Is what the prince said true?" ā
"Presumptuous!"
At this time, Shen Gong, the chief butler who was guarding the side, snorted coldly, which made Cao An, who was extremely excited, immediately realize that he was a little out of shape and hurriedly sat back.
"General Cao, rest assured, this matter is difficult to do, but it is not difficult to do!" Duan Pingsheng stretched out his voice and sold a pass, "It's easy to say, but it's also a little difficult." ā
That Cao An was so uncomfortable that Duan Pingsheng's words made him scratch his ears and cheeks, and immediately patted his chest and said: "But the prince said that it doesn't matter, is there a lack of silver or something?" As long as you can keep your lowly family, even if you lose all your family wealth, there is no problem. ā
"Ten thousand family wealth!"
Duan Pingsheng gently tapped the armrest with his knuckles and sneered: "It seems that General Cao has been stained with a lot of oil and water over the years!" ā
Cao An knew that he was speechless and looked embarrassed, but in the face of Duan Pingsheng, which was almost the only life-saving straw, he had nothing to hide, and directly confessed: "Don't hide it from the prince, at the beginning, Lord Lu was in charge of Xicheng, and he created a huge chain of interests with Guangjin Gambling House as the core, and I, the guard of Xicheng, am a link that must be touched, so I have a lot of money, but I am not the one who takes the most." ā
"Oh!"
Duan Pingsheng's eyes lit up, and he secretly smiled and asked, "This king wants to listen to him, and he wants to know who else can get more than you!" ā
Cao An moved his mouth, didn't hesitate much, and truthfully beckoned: "The big head is naturally taken by Lord Lu, followed by Longmen, we will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of Longmen, as for Lord Gu, he is just afraid of the identity of Lord Lu's relatives and relatives, and chooses to turn a blind eye, and the next are Lord Lu's three henchmen." ā
Saying that, Cao An reported the names of the three people, Duan Pingsheng noticed that one of them had been treated as an outcast by Lu Sansi and lost to Gu Hao, as for the other two, although they did not besiege Lu Sansi in front of Zhu Yuan, they were not taken to Youzhou by him, and now they are not living in peace.
"After that, it's a lowly position, those people under the lowly position only take a small part, they want to make a lot of money, so they complain that Lord Lu doesn't dare to let go of his hands and feet, and that's what happened that day."
Cao An was a little embarrassed, because of the "that day" in his mouth, he also personally rushed to Zhu Yuan, wanting Duan Pingsheng to pay the price of slaughtering the Viper Gang, as for the sudden emotional outburst of a group of people who attacked Lu Sansi later, he was very rational and did not participate, so he was not treated as a victim by Lu Sansi and given to Gu Hao as a political achievement.
Duan Pingsheng chuckled: "Hehe, General Cao doesn't have to mind, this king's Zhu Yuan still needs General Cao to take care of it, in addition, the two restaurants have also been renovated recently, and General Cao will be invited to come and cheer when the time comes!" ā
After the fall of the Viper Gang, its Zhu Yuan and the two restaurants were owned by Duan Pingsheng, Zhu Yuan became the headquarters of the Beggar Gang, and the restaurant was handed over to Zhenlong Pavilion to help renovate, and it was about to reopen. Cao An heard the implicit meaning from Duan Pingsheng's words, and immediately expressed his feelings to Duan Pingsheng: "Lord Wang, as long as you are willing to help the humble to get through the difficulties, no matter what happens in the future, I, Cao An, will never give up!" ā
"General Cao can think like this, this king is very pleased, but this king said that it is difficult to do it before, not deliberately prevarication, but to make the cold-faced judge loosen, not just this king, but also General Cao, and the other two adults!" An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Duan Pingsheng's mouth.
Cao An was slightly stunned when he heard this, and suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Lord Wang, if you let the humble position take action, then there will naturally be no problem, but those two adults are not something I can easily invite." Although they have taken more than me, they are more secretive, and their positions are not as conspicuous as those of lowly positions, especially in recent days, which have erased a lot of stains, so they are unlikely to agree. ā
In this regard, Duan Pingsheng was not too worried, because he had already obtained Lu Sansi's identity token, but he had not used it these days, just to wait for a suitable target to take the initiative to come to the door. Although he held the token and had a certain degree of confidence in subduing Lu Sansi's old department, only by waiting for others to beg him could he exert the greatest effect, fortunately, Cao An, who was forced to be helpless, came to beg for help, so that Duan Pingsheng's plan could be implemented smoothly, and it also directly opened an important gap.
"General Cao doesn't have to worry about this matter, as the so-called new official takes office with three fires, if the cold-faced judge really hasn't burned, he will always look back." Duan Pingsheng no longer concealed it, and took out Lu Sansi's jade pendant, "You take this thing, go to the other two adults, and say, if you want to keep the black yarn hat, go to have a drink on the day the restaurant opens, and at that time, this king will tell you how to tide over the difficulties!" ā
As soon as the jade pendant lit up, Cao An's eyes almost popped out, and he, who had dealt with Lu Sansi a lot, naturally knew what this jade pendant represented, so he couldn't help but glance at Duan Pingsheng deeply. Because in their opinion, Duan Pingsheng and Lu Sansi are absolute enemies, who would have thought that Lu Sansi would hand over this jade pendant to Duan Pingsheng's hands? Doesn't this mean that Duan Pingsheng will integrate all of Lu Sansi's old departments?
Cao An silently took the jade pendant, and did not ask him how he got this thing in his hands, let alone why Duan Pingsheng was so sure that he had settled the newly appointed Lord Thorn Shi.
When the steward Shen received Duan Pingsheng's eyes, he walked to Cao An's side, the Xicheng guard had some eyesight, and knew that Duan Pingsheng wanted to send off the guests, so he immediately said goodbye, and then left the palace with a footwork that he didn't know whether it was heavy or easy.
Duan Pingsheng didn't get up to send him off, because he wanted to leave Cao An with an incomparably strong image, and when Shen Gong came back, he instructed him to make the opening date of the two restaurants advance to noon after the day, because if it was a little later, I am afraid that the Lord Thorn Shi would not be in a hurry to burn the fire to Xicheng!
In the following time, there were no more trivial matters in the palace, and Duan Pingsheng continued to concentrate on cultivation until the rising sun the next day, and there were no other incidents in the palace.
But early this morning, someone came to the palace again, and this person was none other than the general Youzhou!
Li Changlin ignored the guards guarding the door, and the people in the palace did not dare to stop him, until the deputy commander Gu Xia hurriedly summoned him, he did not know that the one had already walked into the buried building with ease.
There is a way that the good do not come, and the comer is not good, Duan Pingsheng immediately got up and rushed to the buried library, hoping in his heart that the chief of Shengtong who accompanied the little stool would not let the little guy be injured at all, and the facts also showed that he was too worried.
Li Changlin is not a poisonous woman Song Zhi, he doesn't have much bad feeling for the small stool, and when Duan Pingsheng rushed into the buried library, he found that the small stool was looking at the book properly, and the Taoist of Shengtong was standing beside him intentionally or unintentionally, Duan Pingsheng cast his eyes on the rows of bookshelves in the depths of the buried library, thanks to his strong eyesight, otherwise it would be difficult to find the figure of the Youzhou general.
"Ahem, Lord Wang, General Li said he just came to get a book."
Seeing that Duan Pingsheng's expression was different, Shengtong Dao Chang explained, and without waiting for Duan Pingsheng to respond, Li Changlin's voice suddenly came again.
"Other than that, I have other things I want to talk to you about!"
