Chapter 287: A Gamble
In the end, although the two were still unsatisfied, they tacitly accepted it.
There is no referee in this debate, and there is no winner or loser.
Of course, Xu Wuyi is also familiar with the science of Ib, Lin Xianjing is also good at calculation, and there must be positive, negative and clear points of view in the debate, and strive to press the other party to the ground and rub it back and forth, and when the discussion is over, he knows the depth of the opponent, and then stops.
Lin Xian was shocked and said, "Happy." Next, after the cultural attack, it's time for a martial fight. ”
Xu Wuyi also felt hearty, and replied: "Okay, I just want to continue to teach." There are ten of you, and there are also ten of us who are of the same great realm, and they are divided into superiors. ”
Lin Xian laughed in surprise, both of them claimed to be wise men, the pleasure of the debate did not affect the heart of planning and winning, and Xu Wuyi's little Jiujiu abacus was clanging.
So he smiled and said, "Brother Xu's words are wrong, and your suggestion is unfair." ”
"Oh, how so?"
"Everyone knows that the cultivation realm is divided into four small realms: ascending, entering the room, ascending, and creating the extreme, the higher the level, the more obvious the division of the stage realm, like the peak master of the Huandan realm creation period to instantly kill the ordinary monks who have just entered the ascending stage. This is one of them. ”
"Second, our cultivation is different, and we are guests from afar, there are only ten people in total, and your Xu family is sitting here, and there is much more room for choice. ”
"That's it, finally, and most critically: how old are we and how capable are we, and how about the Xu family at the same age?"
Xu Wuyi was shrewd, and naturally he could see that the disciples of the Vientiane Sect were amazing, and they were mostly in the Huandan realm in their twenties, where was it easy to find a matching opponent among their peers, so they avoided talking about it, but Lin Xian was shocked but refused to suffer this loss.
The two began to fight openly and secretly again.
Xu Wuyi was pondering what to say, and Hua Lanting came over and said a few words to Lin Xian.
Lin Xian nodded in surprise: "In this way, Brother Xu, you think about it first, and we will discuss it too, let's rest for a while." ”
It turned out that Shang Jinshu had arrived early, and he proposed to talk to the disciples of Vientiane Gate first.
When everyone arrived at the back hall, they saw that Shang Jin's writing was not very good, and he was holding a cup of tea in a daze.
Lin Xian exclaimed: "Brother Shang is in a bad mood, has something happened?"
Shang Jinshu put down the tea bowl and said: "Well, I talked with Gongsun Xixi with the Dao, Xu, and Ma families just now, although it is not the final negotiation, but the situation is not optimistic. ”
"By the way, the matter of Ping Rongce has been resolved, and the Xu family promised to release him unconditionally, and this little face will still be given. ”
After thanking Shang Jinshu, Lin Xian asked in surprise: "What are the next steps for Da Shao, and what do you need us to do?"
Shang Jinshu's fingers tapped on the table a few times, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "I want to bet on a big one." ”
Hua Lanting, Lin Xianjing and others waited for the following.
Shang Jinshu continued: "I just happened to listen to the second half of the debate between you and Xu Wuyi, and it seems that there is still a competition. On a whim, I wanted to take the victory or defeat of the competition as a gamble, drag the three families in, and also tie up the conflict of interests in the business field. ”
Hua Lin and the others didn't expect such a gamble, and they were very puzzled after being surprised.
Shang Jinshu explained: "In the negotiations, the three families of Dao Xu Ma joined forces, had a tough attitude, refused to make concessions to the outside world, and were unwilling to separate the market from our merchants and the Gongsun family. ”
"It's not that I refuse to give in, but I want the two of us to come up with more resource chips to exchange with the markets in other places, and the asking price is very ruthless, and I have neither the right nor the right to agree. ”
"Looking at this posture, if I don't have a good idea for the next negotiation, I'm afraid I'll go home empty-handed. ”
"Truth be told, it doesn't really matter. A defeat doesn't affect me anything, and frustration education is a part of what business disciples must go through. ”
"But my brother wants to be strong and save face, and the people in the family poke and poke behind the back, I can stand it, but I don't want to bear it. ”
"So I wanted to take a gamble. ”
Lin Xian thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter if we do, we have to fight anyway, but there are two problems." ”
"One, we may not win. Two one, the other party may not be willing to respond. ”
Shang Jinshu said: "I won't see our relationship." Friendly match, I didn't lose if I lost, it's a big deal to go home, and the right is a joke between juniors, and the situation will not be worse. ”
"If you win, you will earn more and less money. This is the only good opportunity I can think of at the moment to turn things around. ”
"As for whether it should be or not, look at how we force each other to enter the game, and secondly, I made a move, and the other party will be weaker if I don't take it, and the momentum will be pressed first, whether it is now or in the future, it will be beneficial and harmless to the future exchanges. ”
"In addition, Gongsun Xixi helped in the matter of Ping Rongce, whether it is her share I asked in advance, and she also agreed. ”
Of course, Hua Lanting and they were willing to help with this, and after a few people discussed, Lin Xian returned to the lobby and told Xu Wuyi what he thought.
Xu Wuyi was also surprised at first glance, rolled his eyes a few times, shook his fan and said: "Interesting, this method is very novel, I like it." ”
This is an indication of his own initial attitude.
For Lin Xianjing, there is no possibility of talking about it without a refusal.
Xu Wuyi then changed his words: "If I am the head of the family, then I will agree." It's a pity that I'm not at home, it's a big matter, and I have to report it before I can talk back to you. ”
This is a pretending to be generous, but he raised the shield as a way out, and he was well-founded, he didn't say yes or no, he didn't say anything, he didn't say anything, and he went up a step first.
"Besides, it's not right. If the merchants of Nuoda do not come forward and let the outsiders of Vientiane Gate come out as guns, it is inevitable that they will fall into the gossip of poor donkey skills, which is not good to say. I'm here for your sake. ”
This sentence is a little cool, with rigidity in the middle, implying irony, and a backhand rake, occupying the truth, but it is also a little bit.
Lin Xian came prepared and wouldn't let him get his wish, so he turned over and took out a few jade cards: "I'm sorry, this is a few of our merchants' foreign surname platinum child cards, although we don't have the surname Shang, counting the first and last words, we are also genuine merchant children." ”
Xu Wuyi was choked, and after asking a few more words about the details of the gambling fight and the size of the interests involved, he said: "Okay, you wait a minute, I'll go and talk to the family, and I'll ask the opinions of the other two families." I'll try, but it's hard to tell. ”
After a short period of time, Xu Wuji came back with a spring breeze on his face: "It's done, but the three of us also have conditions." ”
This matter seems whimsical, and it is a stroke of genius by Shang Jinshu in desperation. There is also a reason behind the reason why the three families agreed.
First of all, for the three Dao Xu Ma families, whether they are merchants or the Gongsun family, they are all behemoths that are enough to crush them, but among the four major families in Xianzhou, except for the Tu family, the other three families regard themselves as businessmen, and they will not open the way by force at every turn, if it is not necessary, they will use power, strength and various commercial means to conduct legitimate competition.
This is also the reason why the three families dare to fight and do not give in easily, but they also know that they must not be too tough, otherwise it will be easy to break if they are rigid.
Secondly, Yuanyang City is their foundation, and the business of merchants and Gongsun families is all over the five continents, and the southwest is not an important place that must be obtained, and it has not been very serious.
However, this time, it was the businessman Sun Shang Jinshu and the second lady of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Xixi, who came out in person, which in itself implied an attitude of having to gain, and it was okay to make a gesture to strive for more benefits, but if you don't give face at all, it is difficult to say how the next thing will evolve.
Because of these two factors, the three had to take the donkey off the slope.
Of course, the three treacherous and cunning families also put forward conditions, they cannot be slaughtered by others, and they must leave room for maneuver and counterattack in doing business in order to obtain long-term benefits.
The meaning of the three families, this competition between juniors can only be used as half of the gamble.
If Vientiane Gate loses or draws, the merchants and the Gongsun family will either die down, or accept most of the harsh conditions of the three families.
If Vientiane Gate wins, then three days later, the Dao family will set up a banquet in the old house in the suburbs, invite the Xu family, the Ma family, the merchants, and the Gongsun family to participate, and the two sides will do another collision in overall strength, and according to the results of the other half of the competition, they will discuss the solution to each other's interests in depth.
As for how to collide, Xu Wuyi didn't elaborate.
After consideration, the other party's approach was also calculated, although it was not completely controllable, there was always a turnaround, and Shang Jinshu and Gongsun Xixi agreed.
Further down, it's how to arrange the fight.
After the negotiations, both sides made concessions.
Vientiane Gate no longer insists on the issue of age, the Xu family can party and wait for people from the Dan Realm to fight, and the Xu family does not require ten people to fight, but to win or lose in five rounds.
But Xu Wuyi still played a trick.
He is usually busy with family affairs, and he is accustomed to winning with tricks, and he still has a large number of treasures in the clan to defend himself, and the time for daily practice is squeezed out, and he is not completely sure that he will win.
Xu Wuyi usually won't make a move when the winning rate is less than 50 percent, and he proposed that the previous literary match with Lin Xianjing be counted as a draw, so that it would actually be four martial arts matches, and Lin Xianjing was excluded.
The four members of the Xu family are the nephews of the clan, Xu Wuyi, Xu Wusuo, and the recruited monks Lloyd and Jia Mandu, and these four people are much older than Hua Lanting and them.
Hua Lanting, Yi Liunian and Zhuge Yun are definitely going to appear, this is related to the interests of the merchants and the Gongsun family, the strongest must be dispatched, and the fourth person is finally determined to be Song Feifei.
Song Feifei's replacement of Lin Xianjing is not entirely due to the relationship between the two, the main reason is strength.
After Song Feifei was healed of the soul injury by the cat demon, for some reason, her comprehension has soared, and her skills have improved greatly in the past six months, it is difficult to say that she surpasses other women, but the improvement is extremely obvious.
In order to show fairness, after the draw of lots between the two sides, the order is Yi Liunian vs. Xu Wuxuan, Zhuge Yun vs. Lloyd, Hualan Court vs. Jia Mandu, and Song Feifei vs. Xu Wushu in the finale.
To win, three of the four games must be won.
None of the eight have ever fought each other, and it is too early to judge the strength or weakness of the group.
