Chapter 140: Threat
Leaving the forging guild where Isu was, Tu Ge and Jiuge walked side by side on the street, and from Jiuge's mouth, Tu Ge knew that he had been in Isu's room for a whole week, which was simply beyond Tu Ge's prediction, and it was terrifying. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info if it hadn't been stopped, maybe the worried Jiuge would have broken in. Kuge couldn't put down the re-forged Blue Sand Sword, and Tu Ge's mind was obviously not happy with Kuge for this Blue Sand Sword, but recalled what Izu had said to him.
"It should be Dongxu who is responsible for negotiating tariffs with you! As for why he raised tariffs, I don't know very well! Maybe you'd better ask for it yourself!"
Dongxu, Tu Ge is no stranger to this person, he has fought some shouts before, but he asked him to help him create a thousand silk soft sword similar to Zhang Ran. But how could this person be in charge of Ma Shoudan's civil tariffs?
"Brother Tu, what's wrong with you? Your face is not well, are you not feeling well?" Jiuge on the side found that Tu Ge couldn't hide his tiredness, and asked with concern.
"It's okay! Let's go and talk to Brother Gao first, they'll make them wait for a long time!"
"Don't worry, I've already said hello to them during this time, and I guess they're still having a good time!"
"It's been so long since I came out, and I've been delayed a lot. There's still a lot of work for me to take care of!I'm fine now!Okay!Let's get things done quickly, and we'll go back!" Tug said firmly.
"Okay!" Hisaka nodded with a straight look.
After meeting with Gao De at the inn, Tu Ge immediately asked who the person in charge of the tariff of Ma Shoudan was, and Gao De immediately answered Tu Ge when he heard it.
After listening, Tu Ge didn't say anything, looked at everyone, and said with a not very good face: "Let's go! Go and meet this Dongxu!" When Gao De heard this, he thought the same as Jiuge, and planned to talk about it the next day! But Tu Ge insisted on doing so, so he had to agree.
I came back to the guild that was slightly smaller than the forging guild where Isu was, and it was also a guild with the nature of the Mashoudan city-state.
It seems that Tu Ge and the others have long expected to come back, and Dongxu is already waiting for their arrival.
"Oops-Tu Ge, it's been a long time! I didn't expect that the down-and-out young man at the beginning is now a city generation!" As soon as Dong Xu saw Tu Ge, he immediately greeted him, held Tu Ge's hands tightly, and said with a smile, it seems that Tu Ge is like a gold mine to him. As for everyone else, he ignored the past.
"This is Master Dongxu!" the greeter introduced.
Gao De and the others looked at Dongxu's appearance, as if they knew Tu Ge, and they were very surprised, they didn't know when Tu Ge had anything to do with this Dongxu master, and looking at the other party's appearance, it seemed that they were very happy to see Tu Ge.
And what they don't know is that in fact, Dongxu gave Tu Ge a disappointment with a simple piece of information, and Tu Ge can imagine that Dongxu deliberately raised tariffs for himself. It is unknown how much sinister intentions there are under Dongxu's breezy and warm smile.
"Come, please here!" Dongxu invited Tu Ge and the others to a conference room.
"Please stay three!" several attendants stopped Gao De and the others. "Master Dongxu, what do you mean by this?" Tu Ge asked with a calm face. And Li Liang had an angry face, he and others came here after a long journey, and actually drove himself and others out? What kind of reputation is this Dongxu doing.
"There are some things that must be very interesting to the dignified Tu Cheng Dai, such as the soft sword, so please...."Dongxu's eyes were full of coldness, and he didn't continue to speak, believing that Tu Ge would understand.
After Tu Ge heard this, his face changed, and he immediately lowered his voice to Jiuge and the others, "You guys go first, I'll talk to him alone!"
"Brother Tu!"
"It's okay!" Tu Ge patted Jiuge's shoulder, glanced at Li Liang and Gao De again, made eye contact for a while, and then nodded. Gao De also figured it out, anyway, the final tariff matter was also Tu Ge talking to the other party, and they were all the same.
"Please—"
Jiuge was very dissatisfied with Dongxu's approach, let out a cold snort in his nose, and left immediately with Gao De, waiting in another room, while Tu Ge and Dongxu strode into the conference room.
"If there's anything you want, just say it!" Tu Ge, who walked into the conference room, said straight to the point.
"Don't worry! It's early, let's talk slowly!" Dong Xu rubbed his hands vigorously, it seemed that Tu Ge was already the fish on his chopping board, and he was not in a hurry to work hard at this time.
"Let's have a cup of tea first! Come on! Serve good tea for Tucheng!"
"Then I'll be respectful and obey my fate!" Tug sneered inwardly and arched his hand.
The tea was also drunk, and the greetings were also spoken, and Dongxu didn't talk about tariffs for a while.
"Master Dongxu, if you haven't cut to the chase yet, I'm afraid I'm leaving! Seremig still has a lot of things to deal with for me!" Tu Ge frowned slightly and stood up.
"Wait!" "Wait!" how could Dongxu let Tu Ge leave, and he did everything he could to get him here. "Young people now, I'm really getting more and more impatient!" Dongxu said as he touched his gray beard and squinted his eyes.
Tug was noncommittal about this, with a slight sneer.
"Tu Chengdai can be regarded as a person who owns two cities now?
"If you have something to say, I don't have time to play dumb riddles with you, Master!" Tug reiterated again.
"Okay!" Dong Xu patted his thigh, and the smile on his face suddenly turned cold. "Do you remember what was the last time you came to Ma Shoudan and asked me to build it? Tucheng is a smart person on behalf of you, you don't need me to say more, right?"
"Master Dongxu, it's a pity, I'm stupid, I really don't understand what you want to say!" After Tu Ge finished speaking, he immediately stood up, turned around and was about to leave, it seemed that he was really impatient with Dongxu.
Dongxu didn't get up to stop him, but said lightly behind Tu Ge: "Don't you care about framing Zhang Ran?"
"Master Dongxu, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" Tu Ge, who was facing Dongxu, had his eyes full of heavy killing intent. Seeing that Tu Ge really stopped, Dongxu thought that he had grabbed the other party's handle, and the smile slowly spread at the corner of his mouth.
"Definitely, don't you want to admit it, Tu Ge, otherwise what did you do with the soft sword you made here that day? And a few days later, if there was a riot in Maguli, and then Zhang Ran, the leader of the Qin Leak Society, died, you can't refute this, right?"
"What exactly do you want to say?" Tu Ge took a deep breath, he never thought that what he was afraid of had really become a reality, Dongxu didn't need to smear Tu Ge, and he could easily come up with evidence, as long as he checked the original bill, he could make it clear, what materials Dongxu used, what weapons he built, and the forging guild had records.
"I'm just a forger!" Master Dongxu saw that the big fish had finally taken the bait, and immediately tore his face, revealing the essence of evil.
"Do you want materials?" Tu Ge immediately understood, and Dongxu's intention to let himself come to Ma Shoudan with all his might.
"Tu Chengdai is really extremely smart! That's right!" Dongxu nodded.
"You also know that our city lord of Ma Shoudan is very strict with the materials imported from Maguruo, and if you go down like this, there will be very few in my hands that will be distributed to me, after all, there is a ..... of Isu above me" Speaking of this, Dongxu couldn't hide the hatred and jealousy for Isu in his eyes. Isu is better than him in all aspects, but no one knows that Isu's father was defeated in his hands, making Dongxu one of the top forging masters of Ma Shoudan, a year ago, Yisu miraculously rose, defeated Dongxu, and took away the title of Ma Shoudan's first forging master from his hands, and Dongxu summed it up, and attributed all the reasons to the fact that he had too few refining materials, which caused the technique to be unfamiliar, which led to Yisu surpassing himself, so it is no wonder why Dongxu is so persistent in needing a lot of materials。
"Did you design the tariff to lure me in the bait?" Tug began to figure out why.
"Tu Chengdai is really a smart person, I like it!" Dong Xu saw that the matter was also explained, and he no longer hid it, and it was also his helpless move to take this move, after all, it was not easy to blackmail a person who owned two cities. It takes a lot of determination, and if you don't get it right, you will die without a place to be buried, but it seems that Dongxu has succeeded. Tug had been eaten to death by him.
"Aren't you afraid that I will retaliate against you afterwards?" Tu Ge said with a grin, what he looked down on the most was to threaten others with other people's privacy, and Dong Xu was still holding Tu Ge's forbidden body, because of that soft sword, Tu Ge even killed Hou Man, who loved him, for this matter, Tu Ge suffered moral condemnation in his heart every day, and even woke up from nightmares countless times. And Dongxu actually used this to threaten him, which Tu Ge couldn't bear no matter what, if it weren't for the fact that this was not his own territory, Tu Ge would have killed him on the spot in a rage.
"Tu Chengdai is a smart man, not to mention that such a little bit of material is really a lot of work for you! "Dongxu is sure that Tu Ge should not be quiet, after all, the identity is different, and it is easy for Dongxu to make Tu Ge ruined. Take out the evidence, even if Tu Ge does not fall, it will definitely make Tu Ge make a fuss.
What's more, Dongxu is in Ma Shoudan, no matter how long Tu Ge's hand is, he can't reach Ma Shoudan, not to mention that Shi Huanhou will never allow Tu Ge to do this, even if Tu Ge is really angry and wants to attack Ma Shoudan, it is even more of a joke, the city lords of Seremig in the past generations want to do this, but the River Styx will always be a natural barrier for horses, making people helpless.
Tu Ge can't kill Dong Xu, but Dong Xu can interfere with Tu Ge's rule. This is also what gives Tug a headache.
Dongxu is right, although all of Seremig is now in the hands of Tuge, even Maguriruo, he has emptied all the power in Yunxi's hands, and the position of the city lord is just a ridiculous puppet in name only. Dongxu will not bring much loss to Tu Ge by doing this, but it will cause a lot of trouble to Tu Ge, and even Tu Ge will take a long time to appease the group of subordinates, and even the Yunxi of Magu Liruo will change the normal way to confront himself, in the end, she is the city lord, and she is just the city generation.... In short, a lot of problems will emerge, and the root of the matter lies in the old man in front of him, I didn't expect Dongxu to be at the age of Tu Ge's grandfather, and his ambition has not diminished at all, is it quite big when he is young.
"I promised you!"
"Really?"
"Do I have a choice?" said Tug with a smile on his face. After hearing Tu Ge's consent, Dongxu, who was in his throat, was finally relieved, in fact, he didn't want to go against people like Tu Ge, after all, there were thousands of creatures who died tragically in Tu Ge's hands. Dongxu talked to Tu Ge face-to-face, and he could feel Tu Ge's eagle-like sharp eyes like a knife when he looked at him, which was very infiltrating.
"Well..... we're happy to work together!"
