Hearing Lin Beichen say this, Cao Renshuang quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and unconsciously stroked the back and forth arm of the chair with his palm, and then said with a bitter face: "What do you want, you say, I will try my best to satisfy you." ”

Since Lin Beichen said so, it also means that as long as Lin Beichen's requirements can be met, the latter will not attack the Cao family again.

"You are very smart, and you deserve to be at the helm of one of the four major families of the Seven Star Tomb."

After that, Lin Beichen took a sip of the tea on the table by himself, and then said slowly: "I don't want to be enemies of these families of your Seven Star Tombs, and I'd better ask you not to come and make trouble for me." I don't have any interest in whether you want to leave the Seven Star Tomb or not, and it has nothing to do with me if you want to stay here and be the king, I only have one purpose, which is to leave the Seven Star Tomb. ”

Cao Renshuang quietly listened to what Lin Beichen said, and did not take Lin Beichen's words, his pupils flickered slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lin Beichen rubbed his chin, and after a short silence, he continued: "Given that your attitude is good, you haven't done anything irrational to make me unhappy. ”

"Hmm... I have two requirements for your Cao family. ”

"First, immediately post an announcement to me, saying that your previous description of Sun Moon Lake is exaggerated, and that the dragon-type creature is not as terrifying as you said before, so as to dispel the concerns of those who are still waiting."

"We're not exaggerating... That dragon-type creature, our Cao family, also has some records, all of which are telling about its horror. ”

Cao Renshuang pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice.

However, no matter how low his voice was, it still reached Lin Beichen's ears in the quiet living room.

Lin Beichen frowned slightly, and a slight look of displeasure appeared on his face, but he did not attack on the spot, his eyes looked at Cao Renshuang indifferently, and said: "You only know one thing about that dragon-type creature, but you don't know the other, do you know why I chose to go to Sun Moon Lake after ten days?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Renshuang looked stunned and shook his head dumbfounded.

"Hmph, it's really lonely, you know, ten days after the synodic moon, when the sun has not yet risen, and the time when the moonlight is the lightest, it will be the time when the thing in the sun and moon lake is the weakest, and it is only a little stronger than you strong adults."

"If it weren't for the fact that this particular time was very short, I would have gone by myself, so why bother."

After that, Lin Beichen glanced at Cao Renshuang above the first seat with his eyes, and looked at the latter like a fool.

"Uh..."

Cao Renshuang was embarrassed and a little overwhelmed.

Being looked at with such eyes by people who are younger than themselves, there seems to be a hint of disdain in their words, and anyone will be a little embarrassed.

Lin Beichen looked at Cao Renshuang's appearance, and did not continue, but changed his words and said: "This second requirement is that the Mu family's funds are not enough to recruit so many people, and you need your Cao family to take out 100,000 taels of silver and hand it over to the Mu family, ensuring that after ten days, the Mu family will be able to recruit enough 1,000 people to me." ”

"One hundred thousand?"

Cao Renshuang immediately stood up and subconsciously exclaimed.

"What? Reluctant? ”

Lin Beichen raised his eyebrows, his eyes slowly narrowed, and coldness quietly crept up on his face, and his tone unconsciously brought a hint of calmness.

The temperature in the air dropped sharply to freezing, and there seemed to be a wisp of cold wind surrounding Cao Renshuang, making him shiver.

"No... No, I'm just a little surprised. A hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of Cao Renshuang's mouth, and he slowly sat back in the chair with his arms in his arms.

If you want to say that this 100,000 taels of silver, his Cao family is not unable to take it out.

But if you take out 100,000 taels of silver at once, even the Cao family, who has a fortune of 10,000 yuan, will break your muscles and bones, and there may even be a possibility of breaking the capital chain.

After all, these 100,000 taels of silver are enough to cover the income and profits of the entire Cao family for several years.

But at this time, even if he didn't want to take out the 100,000 taels of silver, it was impossible.

He would not doubt at all that if he didn't give the 100,000 taels of silver with both hands, Lin Beichen would not hesitate to do anything to the Cao family.

People are snipers, and I am fish and meat.

At this moment, a strong sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

"It's too much, and I need to be given a little time to raise it." Cao Renshuang sighed lightly and said slowly: "One day, one day later, I will personally go to the Mu family with 100,000 taels of silver." ”

Lin Beichen nodded lightly, looking at the bitter expression on Cao Renshuang's face, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but appear a touch of curvature, and persuaded: "You might as well think about it from another angle, just take 100,000 taels of silver in exchange for the existence of your son and the Cao family, and there can be less such a family as the Mu family, from now on, there will only be your three major families in the Seven Star Tomb, and the forces you can control will increase accordingly, which is a good deal." ”

After that, Lin Beichen got up from the chair and stretched his waist for a long time, his face full of laziness.

Hearing this, the bitterness at the corners of Cao Renshuang's mouth was even worse, and the whole person seemed to be old for many years all of a sudden.

Although the words are the same as what Lin Beichen said, if his Cao family took out 100,000 taels of silver at once, it would definitely hurt his muscles and bones.

Let's not talk about whether the Mu family can really rely on Lin Beichen to leave the Seven Star Tomb, even if there is really no Mu family after the Seven Star Tomb, how can the Cao family, which lacks such a huge cash flow, be the opponent of the other two families?

One step is slow, one step is slow, maybe it will be the two families of the Seven Star Tomb in the future.

Lin Beichen raised his eyebrows, although he didn't know what Cao Renshuang was thinking, but looking at his expression, he could more or less guess it.

However, the 100,000 taels of silver, he was going to decide, and he was still worried about how to get a large number of silver taels, but the Cao family sent it to the door to blackmail him.

When I was really sleepy, someone came to deliver a pillow.

"Okay, what's the problem, I'll talk about it tomorrow when I send the silver to the Mu family." Lin Beichen picked up the teacup on the table, drank all the tea in it, looked at Mu Hongyan on the side, and said, "Let's go." ”

With that, he walked out the door without looking back.

Hearing this, Mu Hongyan immediately stood up, and after saying goodbye to Cao Renshuang, she followed Lin Beichen's pace.

This is the quality of her ladies, even if she is a middle-aged person above the first seat, she doesn't like it very much, but at least it is her uncle, before today, the two were quite polite to be called uncle and nephew, and she would still do it in place.

"Ugh..."

In the living room, a faint sigh was heard.

Cao Renshuang leaned on the back of the chair and looked blankly at the backs of the two leaving, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness.

After walking out of the Cao family's living room, Mu Hongyan hesitated for a while, then looked at Lin Beichen and asked, "You're not afraid, after we leave the Cao family, will they regret it?" ”

"Since this Cao Renshuang can be the head of the Cao family, he is definitely not a fool."

"The hand I showed before is deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone in the entire Cao family, even if he doesn't want to give it, others won't agree."

"Moreover, the 100,000 taels of silver I want will not make their Cao family bankrupt, and they can always get it out if they squeeze it. I didn't push him to a dead end, I don't believe that he would risk the safety of the entire Cao family. ”

Lin Beichen raised his eyebrows lightly and explained with a smile.

Human nature is like this, when you have the strength to crush him, as long as you don't drive him to a dead end and leave him a glimmer of life, even if it is difficult and rude to ask, he will only accept it.

Mu Hongyan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, staring directly at Lin Beichen's fair and handsome face, and suddenly showed a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and asked: "I heard that on your Cloud Shadow Continent, people who cultivate to be powerful can keep their youth forever, you tell me honestly, is there an old man's soul hidden under your body." ”

"Old man?"

The corners of Lin Beichen's mouth twitched, and he immediately glanced at Mu Hongyan and said, "Don't slander my reputation casually, I'm only in my early twenties this year." ”

Hearing this, a light suddenly flashed in Mu Hongyan's beautiful eyes, and said, "You are only twenty, I am twenty-two this year, you have to call me sister." ”

"Tell you to be big!"

"What's called~"

"Don't bark, don't scream, go away, don't pester me."

"Call my sister, I'll give you candy."

“......”

In the blink of an eye, the two walked out of Cao's mansion.

"Brother Beichen, where are we going now?" Mu Hongyan said with a smile.

"Go back to your Mu family and tell your father the news." The corners of Lin Beichen's mouth were a little bitter, and he said helplessly.

He really couldn't resist this Mu Hongyan, and he could only accept the title of 'Beichen Brother' quite helplessly.

"Let's go, my father must be very happy after knowing the news, with this 100,000 taels of silver, he doesn't have to worry about money now." Mu Hongyan said with a smile, and then the jade hand naturally grabbed Lin Beichen's arm, as if the two were really sisters and brothers, and then pulled Lin Beichen and walked in the direction of the Mu family.

Feeling the elastic feeling coming from his arm, Lin Beichen couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

"Like, it's nice to have a sister..."

The corners of Lin Beichen's mouth rose in an imperceptible arc.

..........

The Mu family.

A middle-aged man in a hurry walked up.

Mu Hongyan hurriedly stopped this person and asked, "Uncle Yu, where are you going in such a hurry?" Where's my daddy? ”

"Miss, Mr. Lin."

The middle-aged man known as 'Uncle Yu' turned his head, saluted respectfully, and then said, "The head of the family is still worrying about this silver tael in the account room, and the head of the family has ordered me to go to the recruitment site to have a look." ”

"Okay, then you can go, I'll go to the account office to find my father now." Mu Hongyan bowed her head slightly, and then pulled Lin Beichen towards the direction of the account room.

Looking at the intimate appearance of Mu Hongyan and Lin Beichen, this middle-aged man known as 'Uncle Yu', couldn't help but have an inexplicable look on his face.

This Mu Hongyan was what he grew up watching.

What kind of personality Mu Hongyan is, he knows it very well like the head of the family, and he has never seen her show such closeness to other men.

Walking to a place where no one was, Lin Beichen said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll go by myself, don't pull me, when your father sees it, he will look at me with that kind of look again." ”

"Cut, coward, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Mu Hongya's mouth pursed, revealing a look of disdain.

"Coward?"

The corners of Lin Beichen's mouth twitched, and a ruthless color immediately flashed on his face, and he hugged Mu Hongyan's soft and slender waist with his backhand, and said viciously: "You're not afraid, are you?" Then I'll just hold you around and go to see your daddy. ”

Feeling the warm feeling coming from Lin Beichen's heavy palm, Mu Hongyan's face flushed, and she immediately avoided Lin Beichen's gaze, and said timidly: "What's there to be afraid of, it's just that the weather is too hot, and you make me sweat like this." ”

Lin Beichen smiled, and did not expose Mu Hongyan's lame excuse, and said with a snort: "Hmph! I don't think you'll dare to call me a coward in the future. ”

After saying that, after pinching Mu Hongyan's thin waist fiercely, he let go of the palm that was holding her.

It's just that when he withdrew his palm, his arm accidentally touched a bulge, and somehow, Lin Beichen's brain was hot, and his palm gently slapped on his buttocks.

"Smack!"

A crisp slap rang out.

Although the sound was subtle, it was heard by both of them.

In an instant, Mu Hongyan's pretty face, which was originally slightly red, was even more red at the root behind her ears at the moment, and her whole pretty face was extremely ruddy, red like a ripe apple.

At this time, Lin Beichen also came back to his senses and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

The atmosphere was a little ambiguous for a while.

"Ahem..."

After a long time, Lin Beichen coughed embarrassedly, touched his nose and said, "Let's go first, bring this good news to your father, and make your father happy as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm..."

Mu Hongyan buried her head deeply, muttered timidly, and the six gods followed behind Lin Beichen without a master, without the slightest feeling of being lively and open just now.

A few minutes later, the two of them came to the outside of the account room, and just as they were about to go inside, they heard a voice from the back room.

"Family master, some time ago, the Mu family just acquired ten shops, and now there are only these silver taels left in the account, which is still 80,000 taels away from the silver you asked for, and there is really no way to do it for the small ones."

"From now on, all the physical properties such as the shops under the name of the Mu family will be sold publicly, and this mansion of our Mu family can also be sold if anyone needs it."

"Huh? What are you going to do? In case we can't do without the Seven Star Tomb, our Mu family will usher in a catastrophe, you must think twice. ”

"It's okay, if we can really leave the Seven Star Tomb, these silver taels will be useless to us. And no matter what, we're going to take this opportunity. Third brother, returning to the Cloud Shadow Continent to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, this is what every generation of the Mu family should strive to do, and the first generation of ancestors also made it clear that they would send his ashes back to the Mu family mausoleum in the Cloud Shadow Continent for burial. ”

"Big brother, I see... I'll do it now, and if I don't succeed, I'll be a beneficiary. ”

The conversation between the two in the account room all fell into Lin Beichen's ears.

"I didn't expect your father to be so bold." Lin Beichen looked at Mu Hongyan beside him and said with a wry smile.

Although Mu Hongyan was silent, a complicated look flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She knew that there was actually another reason behind this desperate bet, that is, her mother, who had been dead for more than ten years.

"It's Hong Aya, and Lin Gongzi, who are you?" A middle-aged man who walked out of the account room looked at the two people outside the door with a puzzled expression.

Obviously, this person was the person who had talked to Mu Lingyun just now.

"Third uncle, let's come to my father." Mu Hongyan said softly.

"Oh, the master of the house is inside, you go in." The middle-aged man said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

With that, he hurried out of the place.

As soon as Lin Beichen and the two entered the door, they saw Mu Lingyun sitting at a table with a distressed expression.

And on the table, there are some books, which should be the account books of the Mu family.

Judging from the conversation he had with Uncle Mu Hongyan just now, he should have a feeling of powerlessness at this moment, and he didn't even notice that Lin Beichen and the others entered the door.

"Daddy, we're back."

Mu Hongyan called out cautiously.

Mu Lingyun's body stiffened slightly, and then he slowly turned around.

"Master Mu." Lin Beichen hugged his fists and saluted.

Mu Lingyun looked puzzled and said, "Why are you here?" Aren't you guys at the job site? ”

Hearing this, Lin Beichen and Mu Hongyan couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Immediately, Mu Hongyan walked lightly to the chair where Mu Lingyun was sitting, and said mysteriously: "Daddy, guess where we came back from?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the doubts on Mu Lingyun's face were even worse, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Lin Beichen and Mu Hongyan were selling in the gourd.

"Oh, Miss Mu, you just tell the Mu family master, you didn't see the Mu family master even more worried, you still let him think about it, and make trouble for him." Looking at Mu Hongyan's quirky appearance, Lin Beichen couldn't help but laugh.

After hearing this, Mu Lingyun couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he was not angry at Mu Hongyan's behavior of hanging her appetite.

He is very fond of his only baby daughter, and he has never been angry with her, and he is reluctant to scold even if he scolds on weekdays.

After Mu Hongyan glanced at Lin Beichen dissatisfied, she immediately turned her head, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, gently leaned close to Mu Lingyun's ear, and said, "We just came back from the Cao family." ”

"What!" Mu Lingyun slapped the table and suddenly stood up from the chair, staring at Mu Hongyan with wide eyes like copper bells.

"Ahh

Mu Hongya was taken aback by Mu Lingyun's sudden move, and her steps staggered back again and again and almost fell, but fortunately, Lin Beichen quickly supported her so that she would not fall to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Mu Lingyun, who came back to his senses, immediately realized that his tone was too heavy just now, and hurriedly stepped forward and said apologetically: "Aya'er, are you okay?" ”

Mu Hongya's mouth pursed stubbornly, turned her head aside, and didn't pay attention to Mu Lingyun's words of concern.

Seeing this, Mu Lingyun sighed softly, and could only smile helplessly, and said, "It was my father who was wrong just now, but you don't know that the Cao family has fallen out with our Mu family?" When you go to Cao's house, your father is worried about your safety, and in a hurry, his tone will be a little heavier. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mu Hongya's stubborn expression eased slightly.

Mu Lingyun continued while the iron was hot: "Daddy is wrong, Daddy won't be like this in the future." ”

"Humph!"

Mu Hongyan snorted coldly and said, "We came out of the Cao family with a swagger, what danger can there be." ”

"Swaggering out?"

Mu Lingyun's expression was slightly stunned, and his face unconsciously showed a look of disbelief, and said, "How is this possible?" How could Cao Renshuang let you go? Don't... Is Cao's Mansion empty? ”

Mu Lingyun was stunned all of a sudden, and even some completely impossible thoughts appeared in his mind.

"How is that possible? How could there be no one in such a big Cao Mansion, but we swaggered out of the Cao Mansion in front of Cao Renshuang, and Cao Renshuang didn't even dare to let out a fart. ”

As she spoke, Mu Hongyan's pretty face showed a touch of pride.

Hearing this, Mu Lingyun subconsciously glanced at Lin Beichen, who was standing on the side with an indifferent face.

Don't...

"I said Miss Mu, don't hang the appetite of the Mu family master anymore, say it." Lin Beichen touched his nose and said helplessly.

"Who let him scare me just now, what's wrong with his appetite." Mu Hongyan muttered quietly, then looked at Mu Lingyun, cleared her throat, and said, "Daddy, you listen well." ”

"Cao Renshuang has already apologized to us, and Cao Renshuang also said that he wants to compensate us with 100,000 taels of silver, and he will gather all the silver taels and send them to our Mu family tomorrow."

"How? We're amazing, aren't we? ”

Mu Hongyan looked at Mu Lingyun with a hippie smile and a shocked look on his face.

"You... Is what you're saying true or false? Mu Lingyun's face was full of disbelief, and even his tone trembled a little.

Lin Beichen shook his head helplessly, took over the conversation and said, "Master Mu, what Miss Mu said is true, and the money will be sent tomorrow." We have all heard what you said to Miss Mu's third uncle just now, now you don't have to smash the pot and sell iron, the money to recruit people must be enough now. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Beichen's voice paused, and then added, "And the Cao family promises that they will not come to make trouble again in the future." ”

Hearing Lin Beichen say the same, Mu Lingyun reluctantly believed what Mu Hongyan said just now, but he still couldn't help asking, "Why is this?" Could it be that Cao Renshuang's brain is sick? ”

The corners of Lin Beichen's mouth twitched, and then he said helplessly: "That's definitely not, I think he Cao Renshuang is quite knowledgeable about current affairs and quite smart." ”

Hearing this, the look of doubt on Mu Lingyun's face was even worse.

This Cao family suddenly made such a show, even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out why.

With his understanding of Cao Renshuang's character for many years, he has no reason to be so good to the Mu family, there can't be some conspiracy here, right?

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his brows tightened, and he said, "Aya'er, did you agree to the Cao family's previous request for marriage?" ”

"Oh, that's definitely not the case, it's impossible for me to marry into the Cao family." Mu Hongyan covered her mouth and chuckled, and then continued: "It's very simple, we just went to Cao's house and beat up that annoying guy, then Cao Renshuang agreed to our requests." ”

"Punched?"

Mu Lingyun was a little stunned when he heard this word at first, but when he noticed the three words 'in the Cao family' in Mu Hongya's words, he suddenly came back to his senses, grabbed Mu Hongyan's hands and looked left and right.

He wanted to see if his baby daughter was hurt.

That is the Cao Mansion, the base camp of the Cao family.

There are hundreds of people in the entire Cao family, and the son of the Cao family was beaten up in the Cao family, which is not much different from looking for death.

He looked up and down, but he didn't see a trace of wounds on Mu Hongyan's body, and he couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Don't look at Daddy, we're fine, the bad guy is that annoying guy, I guess he hasn't woken up yet." Mu Hongyan said with a grin.

Obviously, the guy she hated so much had become like this, and she couldn't stop being happy.

"You don't know, Brother Beichen... How powerful is Lin Gongzi, dozens of family members, rushed up together, he didn't even blink his eyes, and knocked these dozens of people away lightly, so many people fell to the ground without even touching the corners of our clothes. ”

Mu Hongyan excitedly described the situation in Cao's Mansion at that time.

At that time, Lin Beichen, in her heart, was like an invincible hero.

Listening to Mu Hong's words boasting about him, a touch of embarrassment appeared on Lin Beichen's face, and he couldn't help coughing dryly.

Anyone who is boasted about in person like this will feel embarrassed.

On the other hand, Mu Lingyun glanced at Lin Beichen without a trace at this moment, although his face remained calm, the slight vibration in his pupils could make people feel the shock in his heart.

Although he didn't know how Lin Beichen was able to do it, he knew that this time they might really be able to rely on Lin Beichen and leave the Seven Star Tomb that had trapped their Mu family's branch for thousands of years.

Lin Beichen couldn't help but glance at Mu Lingyun, began to change the topic, and said, "Mu family master, you quickly take back that order, in case of failure, you can still mix in the Seven Star Tomb." ”

After a long time, Mu Lingyun let out a long breath of turbid breath in his chest, his gaze became extremely firm, and said, "It's okay, I believe in Lin Gongzi." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Lin Beichen's mouth couldn't help but flush with a touch of bitterness, and said: "Master Mu, you even want to sell the house, this makes me very stressed, if you fail, won't your Mu family have to live on the streets like me?" Anyway, if you add the 100,000 taels of silver sent by the Cao family tomorrow, this money should be enough to recruit people, and there is no need to push yourself into a dead end. ”

Lin Beichen persuaded bitterly, for fear that there would be some accidents, and he really couldn't do without the Seven Star Tomb, causing the entire Mu family to suffer with him.

After hearing this, Mu Lingyun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said with a solemn face: "It's okay, if the silver taels are already redundant, then we will increase the bounty even more, so that we can also speed up some recruitment." ”

"Ouch, I don't even know what to say about you, I'm under a lot of pressure when you're like this." Lin Beichen smiled wryly.

"You have to take us out of the Seven Star Tomb, or I won't have a place to live, and I'll have to rely on you." Mu Hongyan covered her mouth and smiled, looked at Lin Beichen with a helpless expression, and immediately added another sentence.

“......”

Seeing this, Lin Beichen could only smile bitterly.

"Okay, since you believe in me Lin Beichen so much, then I will definitely not let you down." At this moment, Lin Beichen suddenly changed into an extremely dignified look, glanced at the two of them, and said in a rather serious tone: "I'll go back to the room first, I have something to do, if there is nothing big, don't bother me first, I will come out the day before the arrival of the synodic month." ”

"Huh? What are you doing here? Mu Hongyan looked slightly stunned, and then asked with a puzzled expression.

Lin Beichen showed a faint smile and said, "You will know when the time comes, just like you, I also want to sell a pass." ”

"Cut, who is rare, if you like to say it or not, I won't beg you to say it." Mu Hongya's lips pursed slightly, and she said in a disdainful tone.
