Chapter 3 Trading Conditions (4000)
"The courage of the guests is inevitably too great." Liu Ru had a calm face and looked at Ah Pu with a serious gaze.
After all, she is also the shopkeeper of the Jade Gate Inn, if she doesn't have a little momentum and ability, she won't say anything about the Jade Gate Inn completely in her own hands.
What's more, the Jade Gate Inn has developed all the way, and it has developed into a force that no one can underestimate to the present, and it is completely predictable how much Liu Ru has contributed to it.
Therefore, Liu Ru is heavy face, and his momentum is also quite bluffing.
But Ah Pu is not an ordinary person.
As the widow of the Beiao royal family, Apu's etiquette and temperament since childhood are naturally indispensable, even if he later lives in the southern imperial country, but the arrogance of the Beiao royal family in his heart has never disappeared.
Moreover, when it comes to frightening momentum, in Ah Pu's eyes, it is really not as good as the current Sima Jingling who seems to be nestled in his arms obediently.
The name of the first princess of the Southern Imperial Kingdom is really not for fun.
Up and down the palace of the Southern Imperial Kingdom, from high-ranking officials to low-status palace people, who is not polite to Sima Jingling when they see her, they have to be polite for three points, and they have a bit of awe for Sima Jingling from the bottom of their hearts.
Even if there were a few people who said that they were not afraid of Princess Jinning's "power", they had the intention of resisting, and wanted to make it convenient for themselves through the confrontation with Sima Jingling, but in the end, they didn't end well.
is also because of these lessons from the past, and now the resistance of the Southern Imperial Kingdom to Sima Jingling is getting weaker and weaker.
It can be said that as long as the current Sima Jingling frowns slightly, there will be a considerable number of people trembling, and they can't wait to kneel down on the spot and ask Sima Jingling for guilt.
As the face of Sima Jingling, Ah Pu gets along with Sima Jingling day and night every day, and is used to seeing Sima Jingling's majestic appearance, but she also describes her gentle and delicate side in her heart.
Ah Pu, he can definitely be called the person who is not afraid of Sima Jingling in Nanyu.
So, Ah Pu, who has been tempered under Sima Jingling, how could he be afraid of a small innkeeper.
Even if this inn should not be underestimated, even if this inn is not simply an inn, it will not affect the evaluation of the entire inn and the innkeeper Liu Ru in his heart.
It's true that there are some skills, but that's about it.
Ah Pu turned a blind eye to Liu Ru's gaze condensed on him, and the whole person could be said to be unmoving, without the slightest hint of retreat.
Seeing this, Liu Ru sighed secretly in his heart, thinking to himself how could this person who came from the Southern Imperial Kingdom be so stubborn, it was really difficult to speak.
So Liu Ru had to smile bitterly and said to Ah Pu and Sima Jingling:
"Okay, okay, I, Liu Ru, really have no choice but to trade like this in the face of people like you who don't eat soft and hard.
Alas, I really don't know, whether the three of us are a businessman or you are businessmen, how one is more ruthless than the other. β
Ah Pu heard Liu Ruye's concession, and his face was finally not so cold and hard.
Although his expression still looked a little tense, at least he still released a trace of kindness to Liu Ru.
He said in a gentle tone: "Why does Shopkeeper Liu look like he has suffered a lot of losses, if you want to talk about it, this is actually the bottom line that you can accept in your heart, isn't it?" β
Liu Ru simply sighed directly in front of Apo and Sima Jingling this time,
"Acceptable is acceptable, but who wouldn't want to earn a little more? But what you said is true, this is just the bottom line I set at the beginning, and I have always trusted my instincts, and I believe that I get more from you than I have to give.
In this way, in fact, I Liu Ru earned it. β
"In that case, is Shopkeeper Liu interested in making a long-term deal?"
Just when Liu Ru felt that the business he came to negotiate had been negotiated, and was about to say goodbye, Sima Jingling, who was in Ah Pu's arms, suddenly spoke.
Liu Ru raised her eyebrows and looked at Sima Jingling in some surprise, and the movement that she was about to leave with her feet just now fell steadily.
Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly burst into a burst of interest, and asked curiously, "Oh, what does this guest mean by this?" β
Sima Jingling smiled faintly: "That's naturally what Shopkeeper Liu understands." β
"Tsk." Liu Ru smashed her mouth, and her image instantly changed from the amorous and shrewd and sleek that Sima Jingling and the five of them saw when they entered the hotel just now to the current informal and somewhat unruly appearance.
She didn't respond to Sima Jingling immediately, but directly picked up the teapot in Sima Jingling's room, poured herself a glass of water, and said slowly:
"If that's what I understand, then it's different. Moreover, it is not so simple to establish a long-term relationship with my Yumen Inn. β
Liu Ru was still smiling on her face, but at this time, she was really smiling and hiding a knife.
She really didn't want to have a bad relationship with Sima Jingling and them at first, although they seemed to be only five people, but from the moment Sima Jingling and the five of them entered the door, she noticed that none of the five of them could be easily handled.
Let's not talk about the three people around Sima Jingling who seem to be very strong in martial arts, especially the man with a cold face and few words, his momentum is terrifying, and in her experience, he is definitely stained with blood.
Even the two people in front of him who looked like a loving husband and wife, Liu Ru didn't dare to underestimate them.
She knows her situation very well, and knows who she can mess with and who she can't; She also knows which people are more difficult to deal with and which ones are very simple.
She knows that her business is getting bigger and bigger, and it has attracted the spiding eyes of many forces, but because she has a good reputation, she never crosses the bottom line that cannot be crossed, and does not force those who have seen blood on her hands, so she will be protected by all parties.
It is in this balance that she and her Jade Gate Inn can stand still today.
Clearly, though, this tipping point is getting closer.
She could feel that the outside world's control over her Jade Gate Inn was getting stronger and stronger, and if it continued like this, the Jade Gate Inn would sooner or later become a spoonful of soup in someone else's bowl. She didn't want that, so she kept looking for that opportunity to change.
And the opportunity is now in front of Liu Ruyi.
This opportunity made Liu Ru excited, so that her heart could not be calm for a long time, but at the same time, it also caused great fear and panic in Liu Ru is heart, and even some inexplicable despair, which made Liu Ru not be vigilant, cautious and cautious to treat this letter of friendship thrown by the other party, and did not dare to slack off.
But the slightest movement on Liu Ru's face was still captured by Sima Jingling.
The veil that covered her face had not been removed, so the expression on her face that was well understood and under control was not seen.
Grasping the weaknesses of others and taking advantage of the situation to carry out a deeper plan, this is Sima Jingling's instinct to fight in the court for so many years, so she smiled slightly, and took advantage of the victory to pursue:
"I actually understand the concerns in the heart of the shopkeeper Liu. In order to prove that my proposal is not just talking, then how about I give Shopkeeper Liu a reassurance pill for you? β
Liu Ru was even more surprised, but Sima Jingling's words did arouse enough curiosity in her, so that she couldn't wait to know what Sima Jingling would reveal to him first.
Sima Jingling naturally felt it.
She sat up straight from Agui's arms, stretched out her hand and put it on her veil, and as she lifted it, she said to Liu Ru:
"The news of Shopkeeper Liu is all over the world, and I guess I won't be unaware of the rumors of Nan Yuguo.
Although this rumor is said by me personally, there is a conceited meaning, but as long as the shopkeeper Liu confirms this rumor, he will naturally agree to my proposal for long-term cooperation. β
Liu Ru suddenly had a guess in her heart.
She looked intently at Sima Jingling's hands, and slowly removed the veil on her face.
As the veil fell, a peerless and stunning face appeared in front of Liu Ruye.
Liu Ru's eyes widened and she looked at Sima Jingling's extremely gorgeous face, and she was speechless for a while. "Huh." Princess An Ning sighed lightly on the side of Apu's neck again, and felt her hand holding her with satisfaction, and tightened a little, "Apu's interest is really the second place that satisfies the palace." β
"What about the first satisfying part?"
"The first satisfying placeβ" An Ning raised her head and gently lifted her chin with her fingers, the distance between them at this moment was only a finger.
Princess An Ning got a lot closer, and seemed to be about to touch Apu's mouth, and then suddenly moved away, got up directly from Apu's body, and giggled: "The first satisfying place, of course, is Apu's face." β
Ah Pu seemed to blush a little, and seemed to be a little stunned. However, he quickly regained his spirits, smiled slightly, and said to Princess An Ning:
Ah Ling said this, Ah Pu is really honored. Ah Pu hopes that in the next five years, Ah Ling will be able to find the third, fourth, and fifth likes from Ah Pu's body, until Ah Pu is full of Ah Ling's favorite points. β
"Your appetite is really not small, but Hongu does like it." Princess An Ning pretended to be angry, but the next second she still laughed, and even her eyebrows and eyes were curved.
"Let's go, this palace is in a good mood today, so I'll tell you what happened in just a few days."
Princess An Ning hooked her hand at Apu, and Apu immediately followed.
The two of them did not take a sedan chair, but walked slowly in the corridor of the palace.
The sun shines on them, and the clouds disperse and the fog is warm and pleasant.
Princess An Ning told Ah Pu in detail how she resolved the crisis in the city, and how the restless people in the palace beat it down.
She said that since someone can use money to buy some people, then she can naturally make a fuss about money.
If there is a problem with the money given, or it cannot be exchanged or spent, what can ordinary people do?
They are just a group of ordinary people who see money, and if the money is useless, it may cause disaster, so naturally they will not be willing to do it anymore.
As for those Northern Proud spies, it was really an unexpected joy.
No one thought that there would be a dead man from Beiao next to Ji Xiuyi.
"That group of people has been following Ji Xiuyi's side, usually pretending to be subordinates in Ji Xiuyi's palace, and it wasn't until yesterday when Ji Xiuyi was preparing to do the final finishing touch, that they all showed up.
Although they were born in Beiao since childhood, they are not loyal to Beiao. Because of some reasons why they refused to say it, they stayed by Ji Xiuyi's side for fourteen years. β
Princess An Ning was still surprised, but there was no hatred in her tone, but as if she was sharing something interesting, she gushed to Ah Pu,
"Because Ji Xiuyi lost to the palace, they also had to do something for the palace as a condition. That is to let them pretend to be the spies of this Northern Pride and resolve the dilemma in front of them.
As long as you guide a few words in the crowd, do you really see these people, what's the important thing? But with that done, their task was complete. The person who was placed in front of the gate should also be a real spy. β
Ah Pu's eyes were full of admiration, and a few words of praise at the right time appropriately enhanced the harmonious atmosphere between them.
In the corridor, from time to time, the crisp laughter of Princess An Ning was heard.
Chun Tao followed behind Princess An Ning and Ah Pu, and when she saw Princess An Ning like this, she was so emotional for a while that she didn't even notice when tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Your Highness, I really haven't laughed like this for a long time.
When the two of them got tired of walking, they found a place to sit down and rest for a while.
Princess An Ning fell directly on Ah Pu's lap, squinting her eyes to feel the rare sunshine.
Her fingers played with the ends of Apu's hair, and she didn't know what to think, and suddenly asked Apu, "What would you do if today's scene was put on Apu's body?" β
Ah Pu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Princess An Ning to ask this question.
But perhaps the atmosphere is too good now, Ah Pu just pondered for a moment, and then decided to tell the truth,
"If it was Apu, Apo would probably kill all these people. are just some villains who move with the wind, as long as Ah Pu can deter them, what if the means are a little violent? It's just that His Highness will be afraid of such a concealment? β
Princess An Ning's fingers paused, and she said to Apu with a smile: "Why does Apu think so, it's just to kill a few people." Is this a good person in your eyes? β
Hearing this, Ah Pu tilted his head slightly to the side, so that Princess An Ning could not see his expression clearly.
Princess An Ning's eyes sank when she saw this, and the harmonious atmosphere seemed to be about to be shattered.
Suddenly, Ah Fu laughed in a low voice.
He trembled slightly, then turned his head and looked at Princess An Ning seriously, his eyes seemed to be full of shredded starlight.
