After some greetings, Zhao Ze took the Yang Li brothers and sisters to the dining room of the Zhao Mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the official start of this family banquet, all kinds of dishes came up like flowing water, and many varieties were never seen by Yang Li.

Yang Yuyi's eyes widened at this time, he didn't expect that there were so many varieties of dishes in the world.

There were four people seated, and on one side were Zhao Ze and Yang Ligao talking. Every time Zhao Ze was chatting, he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the political situation in the DPRK and China, so as to test Yang Li's views. But Yang Li deliberately pretended not to know every time, and talked about it left and right.

On the other side, Zhao Ze's wife told Yang Yuyi that the family was short and the atmosphere was good.

After a while, Zhao Ze saw that the temptation was fruitless, and suddenly said, "Yang Li, I heard that you are planning to move out of Tuqiao Village recently, and then find a house to live in the county seat?"

"I am tired of Lord Zhao's memory, there is indeed such a thing. ”

There is nothing to hide in this matter, Yang Li answered truthfully.

Zhao Ze smiled slightly, and continued to say leisurely: "Then you are really lucky, the county Cheng Cai Ting knows Lord Cai, due to another appointment by the imperial court, he has already returned to Cangzhou Mansion with the chief examiner Lord Qin this morning to report on his work. Before leaving, Lord Cai entrusted me with carte blanche to deal with the mansion left behind. I also sent someone to see it today, and his house is quiet and elegant, fully furnished, and the location, orientation, feng shui, and environment are very good. ”

Hearing this, Yang Li couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that the mansion was really good, Zhao Ze's critical eye would never praise it like this, so he continued to ask, "I don't know how much this mansion is priced? If it's too expensive, students can't afford it." ”

"Lord Cai left in a hurry, and didn't say the specific price, in my opinion, it is tentatively set at one hundred and twenty taels, what do you think?" Zhao Ze finished speaking, and looked at Yang Li with a smile.

For this house, the price of one hundred and twenty taels is not high, it can only be regarded as the cost price.

However, Zhao Ze did not look forward to selling at this price, but hoped that Yang Li would take the initiative to bargain. Because as long as he asks for help and agrees again, it means that the relationship between the two parties has taken a step forward.

The symbolism of a special level controller is extremely significant, and if Yang Li can be pulled into his camp, it will be a great success.

Zhao Ze had already investigated Yang Li's family background and knew that most of this kind of poor people would be particularly interested in money and property because they were afraid of poverty. Even if Yang Li now has more than four hundred taels of compensation on his body, if he wants to take out one hundred and twenty taels of them at once, it should be extremely painful.

Therefore, Zhao Ze expected that Yang Li would not be able to help but bargain nine times out of ten.

However, Yang Li's next performance surprised Zhao Ze.

Yang Li directly took out a stack of silver tickets, counted them a little, and handed them to Zhao Ze: "Then the price is closed, this is one hundred and twenty taels of silver tickets, and please count them." ”

Yang Li guessed in his heart that the other party would prepare a house for himself, and it would definitely not be bad, and the price would not pit him, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Huh, that's good...... This is the deed, you can take it. ”

Zhao Ze was stunned for a moment, his tone was a little unnatural, and he didn't count the amount of the silver ticket, and directly handed over the deed to Yang Li.

At the same time that Yang Li accepted the deed, Zhao Ze clapped his hands and summoned the housekeeper who was waiting on the side, and then said a few words in his ear.

A moment later, a maid from the Zhao Mansion, Ying Ying, walked into the dining room.

Yang Li took a look and found that on the tray in the maid's hand was a delicate red sandalwood gift box.

When the maid approached, Zhao Ze personally opened the gift box, took out a jade bottle inside, and looked at Yang Li with a smile: "You are now a Yuan Controller, you shouldn't be unrecognizable to this thing, right?"

Yang Li was stunned, observed carefully for a while, and an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Could it be that this jade bottle contains the rumored extremely precious and rare quenching spirit liquid?"

"Not bad. ”

Zhao Ze nodded, put the jade bottle in his hand and looked at it for a while, and then put it in front of Yang Li.

"It is said that there is no place for this Quenching Spirit Liquid Cloud Country to produce at all, and only a very small amount appears in the depths of the wolf barbarian territory in the southwest. Moreover, this thing is also very good for the wolf barbarians to enhance their physique, and they are generally not sold to outsiders. ”

"Therefore, every bottle of quenching spirit liquid that appears in Yunguo is worth more than three thousand taels. But even with such a high price, the appearance of every bottle of quenching liquid will still attract countless rich families to compete for it, and ordinary people have very few opportunities to see it. ”

Zhao Ze explained while observing the change in Yang Li's expression.

"That'...... What does Lord Zhao mean?" Yang Li asked knowingly.

"This bottle of quenching spirit liquid was originally a treasure of the Wang family, and this time it was entrusted to you by his family. You and Wang Chengde are both the best students in Muyuan County in the past ten years, representing the face of the entire Muyuan County, and I don't want to see anything bad happen between the two of you. ”

"Also, as long as you accept this bottle of quenching spirit liquid, I can personally guide you to condense the crystal nucleus, and teach you the perception skills I once had, so that your chances of becoming an elemental master will be greatly improved on the original basis. ”

After Zhao Ze finished speaking, he returned to his seat and sat down, then took a bite of food, chewed and swallowed slowly, looking quite relaxed and comfortable.

Also, for a person who controls the element, maybe the official position, reputation, money, and beauties can be put aside for a while and endure, but the attraction of the quenching liquid can be described as incomparable.

You must know that a bottle of quenching liquid is enough to increase the success rate of the elemental crystal nucleus of the element controller by three percent!

Zhao Ze believed that Yang Li, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, was at the time of his dreams, and he would never be able to resist the temptation of becoming an elemental!

However, Yang Li did not answer immediately this time, but stared at the jade bottle in front of him with red eyes.

This is a difficult choice, and Yang Li understands the meaning of Zhao Ze's hint: it is nothing more than to have a good relationship with Wang Chengde regardless of his past suspicions, and then completely stand on his side and become a member of his faction.

And Yang Li's heart is struggling with difficulty.

Because this bottle of quenching liquid is indeed very precious, once you miss it this time, you don't know when you want to encounter it again in the future.

Moreover, Yang Li also urgently needed to improve the power of the elements at this time, if he only relied on conventional means, with his current progress, the elemental crystal embryo would not be able to successfully condense into a crystal nucleus within two years.

According to the information Yang Li learned, this thing is not so easy to collect.

First, the quenching liquid is only suitable for the use of the elemental controller, in other words, the size of the user's elemental crystal embryo must reach a certain level or above, otherwise there is a danger of direct bursting.

Yang Li's elemental crystal embryo was not large, and he could not use the quenching liquid in a short period of time. But if you don't use it in the first place, this abnormal behavior will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.

When Zhao Ze asks about it, he is likely to show his feet, and then cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Second, Yang Li knew that Zhao Ze was above the court and belonged to the lord and faction, and advocated peace with the wolf barbarians to maintain the apparent peace situation.

However, joining the Lord and this faction did not match Yang Li's inner opinion, after all, he had personal experience and knew that weakness, tribute, and peace could not be exchanged for a dignified peace.

Even if Yang Li and Zhao Zexu have a relationship with the snake now, they will be immediately labeled as the main harmony, and if they want to change their attitude in the future, they will be regarded by others as a wall grass in the morning.

When the time comes, if Yang Li wants to clarify his point of view, he will not be accepted by others at all.

Third, after this generous gift is kept, Yang Li's revenge will be more or less corroded and weakened, and his confidence will not be as full as before, and the motivation to become stronger will become less and less close to degeneration.

In the long run, this may not be a good thing for his own path as an elemental.

On the one hand, there are rare and great benefits, and on the other hand, there is the belief in my heart.

Yang Li was entangled.

And at this moment, Yang Li suddenly saw Yang Yuyi sitting on the side.

Although my sister spends most of her time chatting with Zhao Ze's wife, she still glances at her from time to time.

In that clear gaze, there is a feeling of trust and worship.

At this moment, Yang Li suddenly woke up.

If he chooses to accept it now, won't he become the kind of person he hates the most in his sister's mind? Corruption and bribery, no distinction between right and wrong, and only interests in his eyes, just like Zhao Ze in front of him?

"Lord Zhao, this gift is too heavy, and the students can't accept it. ”

Yang Li resolutely refused, his tone was firm, and there was no room for maneuver.
