Chapter 393 - Seeking Skin with the Tiger
Lin Yan took Monk Chen and Guo Toad all the way back to the temporary residence of the inn, and there was no big surprise about Liu Yue's attitude.
Because judging from his experience, the more calculating people are, the less easily they will turn their faces. To put it nicely, it's called "joy and anger are invisible"; To put it mildly, it is to look ahead and think too much.
Regarding the matter of that token, Lin Yan knew that Liu Yue must have known about it, and he must have guessed that it had fallen into his hands, because there was no other possibility.
Although Liu Yue behaved relatively indifferently, judging from the reaction of the sixth child, this thing must be very important, and it is probably impossible for Lin Yan to take it away so easily.
And, the main thing is that at the moment he doesn't know what this thing is for, which is embarrassing!
This is like guarding Baoshan but not entering the door, it is really a chicken rib, the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it!
Originally, if conditions permitted, Lin Yan could use this token as a bargaining chip to maneuver between various forces to obtain the greatest value. He believed that what Liu Yue cared about so much, other forces would inevitably be very interested.
However, now due to his own reasons, time is running out, and he is not qualified to squander it so much, so he can only suffer a little loss!
After thinking about it again and again, Lin Yan decided to sell this token, after all, it was something that he got from the people of the Death Song Order, and if he put it on his body for a long time, someone would always trace the clues, and it would be a big trouble at that time!
Excluding the "Bitter Lord" Death Song Order, the remaining Party of the Blood Sect and the "Blood Wolf Mercenary Group" are not strong enough, and their credibility is worrying. As for Liu Yue, Lin Yan has always been more wary of him, and if he has a choice, it is best not to fall into his hands with this token.
In this way, there is only one force left to choose from, and that is Wanbaolou!
Although Liu Yue's relationship with Wanbaolou is not ordinary, this can be seen from the order of the elders who owns Wanbaolou and can mobilize the people of Wanbaolou.
However, Liu Yue should not be a person from Wanbaolou, and the relationship between them should be more of a cooperative relationship based on interests, so in some aspects it is not necessarily the same interests.
As the saying goes, "There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!" ”
After all, Wanbaolou is mainly business-oriented, and the main thing is reputation, so there should not be too much problem in trading with it, and it may even take the initiative to hide the seller's information to ensure its safety.
Trading this token to them can be regarded as planting a small seed, although it will not make Wanbaolou and Liu Yue turn against each other, but it may cause some estrangement between them in the future.
Lin Yan always had a faint premonition in his heart that what Liu Yue really wanted to do should not be a good thing, and it was always right to be on guard.
He copied the appearance of the token and asked the silver sword Guo Toad to take it. After all, he is relatively calm in all aspects, if he is replaced by Monk Chen, it is estimated that the whole world will know about it as soon as he goes out!
Lin Yan himself took out the "Yun Ling Fruit" he got from Liu Yue, and was ready to try to wake up Qiu Lao.
This thing has been carried on the body will only make the medicinal properties continue to lose, this is not a gold ingot, and you can't get a cub if you keep it, and you have to try it to know if it's useful!
Lin Yan directly crushed it with his vitality, and in an instant, the purple fruit melted and turned into a puddle of viscous juice, he did not hesitate, and slowly poured it on the blade of the black broken knife without waiting for the medicinal properties to volatilize.
If you want to give it to someone, just put it in your mouth. However, if the object is a knife, where is its mouth, this really touches Lin Yan's blind spot in knowledge.
Fortunately, as the purple juice slowly dipped into the blade, it proved that Lin Yan's previous approach was not wrong.
And when all the purple juice is submerged into the blade, the black broken knife is more and more profound, as pure as the dark night, without a trace of impurities.
But that doesn't stop there!
Just when Lin Yan thought that the old man would wake up, the change of the black knife came to an abrupt end, and he continued to return to its original state.
"Failed?" Lin Yan sighed, and it was difficult to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
But he quickly adjusted, and since this method didn't work, then he had to find another way. As long as you don't give up, there will always be a day of success!
When he cleaned up his mood and waited for Guo Toad, the latter also returned as expected, and brought back a good news: "Wanbaolou, agree to the deal!" ”
Lin Yan nodded, he was not surprised by this, as long as the person in charge of Wanbao Building had no problem with his brain, then there was absolutely no reason to refuse this deal, after all, this matter was beneficial to them!
Guo Toad paused, and then said: "However, they asked to trade the token directly to them, not through the auction, as for the price, it will satisfy us." ”
"And you need to see the real thing before you can complete the transaction!"
In this regard, Lin Yan also understands it better, after all, it is impossible to let people take out real money with just one copy of something, and the other party is not a fool, on the contrary, it is a group of "human spirits"!
As for the direct transaction to Wanbaolou, it was originally Lin Yan's plan at the beginning, and the so-called auction was just to raise the price.
"Childe, will it be dangerous to trade here?" Guo Toad raised his concerns.
Fair trade is based on the equal strength of both parties, and if the gap between the two sides is too large, then the so-called "fairness" is a joke!
After all, elephants don't care about inadvertently crushing a few ants to death, it's not about good or evil, it's just a simple disregard brought about by the difference in strength!
Lin Yan is not a fledgling hairy boy, so he naturally will not naively believe that Wanbaolou will definitely abide by the rules. What's more, this is a wasteland, although Heicheng was once considered a pure land in this chaotic place, but, not to mention the turbulent situation now, even the rules here are formulated by Wanbaolou and other forces, how to interpret it, isn't it just a matter of people's words!
So, you have to make some preparations. Fortunately, he already had a plan in his heart, and he called Monk Chen and Guo Toad in front of him, and explained for a while, and then got up and planned to go to Wanbao Tower.
It was necessary for him to go in person, because if he sent these two people, if there was any accident, it would be ten deaths. And if it's yourself, you have a better chance of getting out!
Although there is a lot of risk, but "wealth and danger are sought", since this token can't be used by itself, you have to change something to be considered a loss.
Besides, after that, I have to look for the "medicine king grandson" to completely solve my own problems. If good luck meets, you can't blush your lips and touch your lower lips and say, "The divine doctor will save me!" ”
At least Lin Yan thinks this is unrealistic, because the divine doctor also has to eat! If you keep doing this charity, you will starve to death sooner or later if you can't make ends meet!
Lin Yan believes that there is nothing in the world that can be obtained out of thin air, and if you want to get something, you have to give something, so that you can feel at ease!
Guo Toad used to be dressed in a black robe and hood, although it looked weird when walking on the street, but if it was to Wanbaolou to trade, it would not be so abrupt.
Because, in addition to having enough confidence in their own strength, or the forces behind them are strong enough, the rest of them will use some means to hide their identities to prevent causing trouble to themselves.
After all, no one forgets that this is a wasteland, and it's not uncommon to kill people and sell goods. Even if it's inconvenient to do it in the city, out of the black city, can anyone still manage it?
The so-called "wealth moves people's hearts", in this kind of chaotic place, all constraints are not so reliable! Therefore, you still have to rely on yourself to eliminate everything from the root!
Lin Yan was dressed like Guo Toad, and he deliberately hid his aura, so it was difficult to tell the difference from his appearance.
And shortly after he set off, a dark whistle followed him and left. After the feeling of surveillance, Monk Chen and Guo Toad walked out of the back door.
"It's dangerous! If it weren't for Childe's vigilance, he really wouldn't have found these people. I was already very careful on the way back, but I didn't expect to be followed! Guo Toad said.
"It's also Wanbaolou, which is overwhelming the other two major forces, and there are many masters, which is not unusual!" Monk Chen didn't seem to care very much.
"That's right, let's hurry up and do what we need to do, I hope everything goes well on Childe's side!" Guo Toad said.
"Don't worry, who is Childe? Just Wanbao Building, a small scene! Monk Chen said.
Guo Toad smiled helplessly, and said in his heart: "This guy is always inexplicably confident in his son, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, why isn't it like this?" It's just a teenager younger than their age, but it always gives them a sense of peace of mind, and it's also a magical thing! ”
Shaking his head and throwing out the superfluous thoughts, Guo Toad and Monk Chen walked out quickly, and in an instant, they merged into the flow of people and disappeared.
……
Lin Yan had already attracted the attention of the principal when he entered Wanbao Building, after all, the matter of that token was not a trivial matter, and Guo Toad had already been targeted when he left before. In other words, Guo Toad's whereabouts have never left Wanbaolou's sight since then, but they didn't find out about Lin Yan and Li Dai Taozhuang!
In fact, the main reason is that they don't dare to get too close, if they are discovered, it will cause the other party to be alert, and it will affect the transaction, but it is not beautiful.
As long as there is a choice, Wanbaolou is still willing to get what they want through normal transactions, after all, the signboard that has been hard to lay over the years cannot be easily smashed!
Under the leadership of the beautiful maid, Lin Yan was taken to a secret room, which was a normal trading place, and the original intention was to prevent unnecessary coveting caused by the prying eyes of others.
It's just that the maid twisted the waist of the water snake along the way, and from time to time she turned around and threw a wink at Lin Yan, looking embarrassed and ashamed, which made Lin Yan a little confused, and said in her heart: "What's the matter?" Could it be that the eye got into the sand? But there's no wind in the house! ”
Lin Yan couldn't figure it out, so he simply ignored her, looked at his nose and nose, and walked by himself. Until she walked to the secret room, the beautiful maid saw that Lin Yan didn't react, and a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in her eyes, and then she blessed slightly, and said, "Honorable guest, the steward is waiting for you inside, please!" ”
Nodding slightly, Lin Yan pushed the door in, looked at the steward in the secret room, and said in a low voice: "Wanbaolou is doing this, is it trying to make money and kill people!" ”
