Chapter 147: The Scheming Fox (1st Update)
Xue Zha listened to the housekeeper-like person in front of him constantly apologize to him and beg for forgiveness, Xue Zha just raised the little finger of his right hand and picked out his ear, and then put it to his mouth and blew it lightly as if he was fine.
Seeing Xue Zha like this, the housekeeper obviously showed a look of displeasure on his face, but then he bent down respectfully.
"The villain doesn't know that the two of them are the ambassadors of the Holy Court, and they have been offended a lot just now, so I hope they don't know me like me. ”
Xue Zha directly ignored the housekeeper, picked up the teacup and gently flicked the floating tea leaves on it, and then handed it to his lips and took a sip lightly.
The housekeeper saw that Xue Zhe didn't pay attention to him at all, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he was very good at cultivating qi.
But Le Shen, who was sitting next to Xue Zha, saw this scene in his eyes.
He stroked his beard and smiled slightly, and spoke.
"We understand what you mean, but there is only one point, let your master come over, you are just a housekeeper, you are not qualified enough!"
Le Xiang's voice was not loud, but in the ears of the housekeeper, it was as deafening as Hong Zhong Dalu, which shook the qi and blood in his body and turned red.
"What a terrible cultivation!"
This is the housekeeper's first feeling of Le Xiang, and the reason why he appeared at this time was also instructed by his master.
Xue Zha and Le Shen have been on this island of the Three Kingdoms for several days, and he is at the junction of Wu and Shu, so he has already gotten the news.
But this city lord is a bold man, and he will not show his face without confirming the other party's threat.
In his plan, if Xue Zha and Le Shen were just people with the name of the Holy Courtyard but no strength, they would be able to eat and drink well when the time came, and they would listen to anything they mentioned, but whether they did it or not depended on his mood.
And if Xue Zha and Le Xiang are strong, then he has to think carefully about how to face these two people, because the Holy Court dares to send this kind of person, obviously he is determined to implement something.
As for his housekeeper, life or death has nothing to do with him, if he accidentally offends Xue Zha and the others, he can completely put all the blame on the housekeeper, only saying that he has not been in the mansion for the past two days, and everything is the housekeeper's private decision.
If he can satisfy Xue Zha and the others, he can execute the housekeeper in front of the two of them, anyway, there is more than one person in his house who can be a housekeeper.
Xue Zhe raised the wine bowl and touched it lightly towards Captain Jack's sea bowl, raising his head to drink the wine in the bowl.
Captain Jack also drank the wine in the bowl, put down the bowl, grabbed some meat with chopsticks, and threw it into his mouth, chewing as he spoke.
"You think too much, no matter how powerful you are inland, as long as you have never been to the sea, you are a fart, not to mention that you have not yet reached the level of a saint, just to say that you are not at sea is enough, no matter who lives at sea, people who are not close to the sea are repelled, how can you say it in the words of a scholar?"
Captain Jack put down his chopsticks and thought about it seriously, then spoke again.
"That's right, it seems that hearing is false, seeing is believing. ”
As soon as Captain Jack's voice fell, a vague momentum began to permeate Captain Jack.
Xue Zha also felt this momentum, and he was also stunned, but in an instant, the expression on his face was restored to the same as before.
"You seem to be unhappy with what I did, but don't you think it's useless?"
Xue Zhe smiled slightly and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was not affected at all.
Captain Jack applied a little pressure, but it turned out to be the same, which had to make him want to give up.
Xue Zha is indeed as uncommon as others say.
Captain Jack withdrew his mental strength, grabbed the jar and poured himself a glass of wine, he sighed slightly.
"I thought what others said was false, but I didn't expect it to be true, you are really powerful. ”
But as soon as Captain Jack's words fell, Xue Zha suddenly grasped a key point, "What others said."
Who said it, what it said, and why did it say it.
Three questions suddenly popped up in Xue Zha's mind, which made him even more curious.
"Captain Jack, I want you to tell me clearly how my name got to sea. ”
Xue Zhe didn't plan to ask on the side, he had to figure out who did it on purpose.
Xue Zha came to the sea because he was persecuted by others, and then finally arrived at the Holy Island, but he was expelled from the island without even turning around the island.
During this period, Xue Zha had thought more than once about why the Holy Courtyard was so cold to him, looking forward to coming over by himself, but he ignored him after he arrived.
Does this confirm the saying that what you can't get is the best thing?
Captain Jack saw Xue Zhe bowing his head and pondering, but did not let him wait too long, and said directly.
"How to say it, in fact, I don't know exactly where the news came from, but one thing is certain, that is, the news spread from the Sea Beast Pearl Trading Market. ”
This time it was Xue Zha's turn to be puzzled.
"Where is the Sea Beast Bead Trading Market?
Xue Zha always felt that there was something greasy in this, and it would even threaten the safety of his life.
But Captain Jack didn't seem to know very well, and he could only shake his head after frowning and thinking about it.
"I can't remember exactly, anyway, the news about you leaked out from the largest Sea Beast Bead trading market here, and it was nothing more than to promote the favor of the Holy Courtyard for you, but there was one thing that might be unfavorable to you. ”
Captain Jack took a few more mouthfuls of food and said.
"It is said that your appearance will have an unpredictable impact on the people at sea, whether it is good or bad, but I didn't believe this sentence before, but now I ......"
Captain Jack shook his head, raised his head and glanced at Xue Zha, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Who is the person who said such a thing? What is the purpose of the person who said such a thing? Could it be Sha Xinqi? Or is it some other enemy of mine? But he knows me well, and I don't want to live in peace at sea. ”
Xue Qi didn't have a clue when he thought about it, so he simply stopped thinking about it, picked up the wine bowl and continued to drink with Captain Jack.
"Okay, I won't tell you much else, since you come to help me, then I'll tell you the truth, I need an agent to help me take care of a sea area, but I will give you a way to attract sea beasts, and I will take seventy percent of the sea beast beads and materials obtained. ”
As soon as Xue Zha's words fell, Captain Jack slammed the sea bowl in his hand on the table.
"Brother Xue's appetite is really not ordinary, let me lure the sea beasts to hunt and kill, invest manpower and material resources, you will have to open your mouth for seventy percent, business is not like that. ”
Captain Jack picked up the chopsticks and threw some meat into his mouth, raised his hand to grab the wine jar and shook it gently, dropped the sea bowl directly, held the wine jar and poured it into his mouth.
Xue Zhe saw that Captain Jack was obviously dissatisfied with what he had just said, he was not angry, he also picked up the wine bowl in front of him, raised it to Captain Jack in the air, and then drank it all.
"Captain Jack is a smart man, you must be waiting for me to give you a satisfactory answer if you don't speak. ”
Xue Zha grabbed a jar of wine at his feet with one hand, and with the other hand, he directly opened the mud seal, and a mellow aroma of wine suddenly dispersed.
Captain Jack's eyes lit up in the direction of the wine jar in his hand, and his eyes kept staring at the jar of wine in Xue Zhe's hand.
"This aroma...... Could it be that the daughter of ten years is red!"
