This is a very conscientious and fair price.

The sun had completely sunset into the mountains, and the sunlight shining into the house through the window paper had completely disappeared.

Bai Yutang walked to the door and put a long piece of wood on the inside of the door, which was considered to lock the room.

Xiao Guo took out a few candles and placed them on the table and counter respectively, and the light that was not dazzling flickered slightly, reflecting half of the room.

The inn was quiet, and there was nothing but the sound of Xiucai.

"Twenty-one years ago, I went to the academy, and I was fortunate to have the guidance of the dean, and I broke the wilderness, which is a kindness, and when I report it, I can reduce 500,000 taels, and there are 2.3 million taels left. ”

The abacus rolled up and down, quietly disappearing 700,000 taels.

"Twelve years ago, Bai Yutang came to Datang from Huangzhou, stirred up the wind and clouds and killed six hundred and two, and then was defeated by the sword immortal Xiao Boru's men, and got the grass saint to pass by, saving a life, reducing 620,000 silver, and the remaining 1.68 million. ”

When the words fell, Bai Yutang glanced at him expressionlessly, but he didn't say anything.

It is not a shame to lose to Xiao Boru, looking at the entire Tang Kingdom, no one dares to say that he can win against Xiao Boru except Xue Hongyi and the dean.

The so-called sword immortal is not in vain.

Xiucai didn't care what Bai Yutang thought in his heart, that hand was still pulling the abacus, and said to himself: "Li Dazui was originally an official, because of his violent temperament, ineffective governance, and blind arrogance, which made Qishan civil strife and rebellion, and he should have apologized for his crime with death, but in the end, he was fortunate to be protected by Li Laizhi, the father of His Royal Highness, the commander of the Northern Army, and came here away from the temple afterwards, leaving a life, so he reduced 500,000 silver, leaving 1.18 million taels." ”

Li Dazui's face darkened, his lips trembled, and the palm of the hand holding the spatula was covered with a dense layer of sweat.

Back then, there was a death battle in the snow field outside, and the sudden rebellion of Qishan County inside put the Tang Dynasty directly in the fire and water, and it was almost overturned, so the guilt was not too much even if it was a hundred deaths.

But Li Laizhi saved him.

This is a great favor.

Li Xiu didn't speak, and there was no surprised expression on his face, since he came to the Shangru Inn and found the five people, he naturally knew the origin of the five people, otherwise he wouldn't have come over.

"Guo Furong was born in the Guo family in the capital, six years ago in his own family ran out, lawless, did all kinds of evil things, four years ago Yu Zifei gambled with him, defeated, and then lived in Guanshan not out, for the revenge of Zifei not to kill the grace, reduced 180,000 taels of silver, leaving 1 million. ”

Guo Furong smacked her lips, her eyes were a little erratic, she was rude and unreasonable since she was a child, and no one took care of her after she left home

is lawless, and he did not do less to kill people and take away the road, but later because he was not convinced by his reputation, he went to provoke, was defeated, and ended up now.

"Tong Xiangyu, born in a family of rivers and lakes, is the daughter of the owner of the Iron Sword Villa, after his father died, the stepmother Liu forced him to marry into the Hengshan Sword Sect as a rope between the two forces, he did not obey, was suppressed under the Hengshan Mountain for 36 years, and was rescued by Wu Mobi, who traveled around the world, owed a day of great favors, reduced silver 700,000, and left 300,000 taels. ”

Xiucai's voice then sounded, and the names of the five people in the audience appeared from his mouth one after another.

Tong Xiangyu didn't seem to hear this, she always had a faint smile on her face, and the round fan in her hand was drawn in small amplitudes.

She looked at Li Xiu and said with a smile: "Life is born with ups and downs, even if His Royal Highness was born in the so-called end of the world, it is not all smooth sailing, and the burden on his body does not know how much heavier it is compared to ordinary people." ”

After saying that, she raised her head and glanced at Bai Yutang, and there was an inexplicable taste in each other's eyes.

But he heard that Xiucai's voice didn't stop, and continued: "I and the other five people live in Guanshan, this news is very hidden, but it can't be hidden from His Royal Highness, and naturally it can't be hidden from the imperial court, but now for many years, no one has come to find trouble, this is love, the matter has to be repaid, reduce the silver by 300,000, and there is nothing left." ”

As the words fell, the movements in his hands also stopped, and all the beads on the abacus had been restored to their original appearance, neatly up and down.

That's what it means to owe nothing.

One million taels of silver tickets were pushed back to Li Xiu by Tong Xiangyu in his hand.

"Xiucai is naturally correct, he said that you don't need to pay a penny, then you don't need to pay a penny. ”

The white jade soup noodles are expressionless.

Guo Furong's face was a little depressed, obviously reluctant to accept these silver tickets, but she never spoke, which shows that she also agrees with what Xiucai said before.

Li Dazui stood aside with a gloomy expression, Qishan mutinied and killed 340,000 Qishan troops, this matter will always be imprinted in his heart and cannot be forgotten.

"Business is business, and no matter what you do, you can't lose money. ”

Li Xiu did not take back the silver ticket, but said out of his mouth.

Apparently he thought the million taels were worth it and didn't need to be returned.

Xiucai picked up the abacus and put it in the corner of the counter, then folded the towel in front of him neatly, looked at Li Xiu and said seriously: "Use favors to exchange money, it is you who suffer, but it has not been us." ”

Favors can't always come with money

measure, because no matter how much you give or how little you give, both sides will have something to worry about.

Therefore, favors can only be repaid, and money can only be repaid.

Li Xiu was silent for a while, and his eyes drooped.

Guanshan at night is very quiet, Langcheng is a mountain city, and it has not rained tonight.

The moon is bright and the stars are thin, looking out through the thin snow-white window paper, there will be a few pedestrians passing by occasionally on the street, and some people will stop and stand in front of the inn, and when they see the gate closed, the lights dim they know that it is closed, so they shake their heads and walk towards the center of the city.

Xu Yingxiu stood quietly at the door, and her nervous mind that had been tense for a day was only slightly relieved at this moment.

Now that these five people have agreed to help, Meridian Valley should not worry.

For a long time, there was not a sound in the inn, the flame on the candle burned straight, and did not sway from side to side, and there was not a single cold wind blowing in the house.

Li Xiu thought for a long time and said, "This should be the most loss-making business you have ever done. ”

They are using favors to repay the money, but except for Li Dazui, the favors of the other four people are not directly related to Li Xiu, so how can they be counted on his head?

Moreover, the five of them left behind the stability and took risks, which is the greatest favor.

"There will be at least one Five Realms Grandmaster in Meridian Valley, but if it is Changlin and Yin Cao who intervene among them, there should be two. ”

Two people in the five realms, and there will be a number of wanderers under them.

It is not safe to rely on only one Five Realms Grandmaster with Bai Yutang, how can he win?

Going to die?

That's what Li Xiu meant.

Tong Xiangyu smiled, Guo Furong and Li Dazui each took a step back, and Bai Yutang looked back at Xiucai with both hands.

So Li Xiu also looked over.

Sour Xiucai looked up at him, a smile appeared on his face, and then took out the wooden hairpin, curled up his hair, and inserted a gentleman's hair.

He gave Li Xiu a scholarly salute, and then straightened up.

The wind and clouds on Guanshan changed, and a thunder exploded in the night.

The candles in the room flickered.

On this night, Guanzhong scholar Lu Qinghou broke into the five realms and became a grandmaster.
