Chapter 93: Buy Your Own Tiger Talisman by Yourself
Yang Guang saw that Mingyue suddenly fell silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he could only speak first: "Mingyue, everyone." On that day, I made a bet with Brother Mo and lost a tiger talisman to him...... Well, although it was okay to let him play for a year and then return it, but unexpectedly, his father suddenly became critically ill...... Without this tiger talisman, I am worried that if my father and emperor drive west, the situation in Chang'an will be difficult to control. β
Mingyue sneered: "The prince lost the bet, how can he repay the debt? If the world knows ......"
Yang Guang glanced left and right, and motioned to Mingyue in a low voice: "Since he wants to return the Tiger Fu in advance, he can naturally prescribe the corresponding conditions." β
Mingyue's eyes lit up, and she continued: "Your Highness is really bold and magnificent. Well, I won't beat around the bush. The tiger talisman can be returned, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to borrow a total of 3,000 skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Labor for me to use for a month. In addition, there is a price to pay for 10,000 taels of gold. β
Yang Guang's face darkened, and he said in his heart, "The total number of people in the capital is less than 3,000, and besides, my forces are in the household department and the official department...... Now that the treasury is empty, if it is really given to you, you see if my father will be so angry that he will return to the west in advance. β
The green silk of the bright moon was swept by the breeze outside the window, as if the lotus flower was too shy to the cool breeze, no man could resist such a woman, but Yang Guang turned a blind eye and refused to pay the money.
Mingyue frowned and said: "Gold 10,000 taels to buy a tiger talisman, this price is not expensive, right? If it is Li Yuan, it is 100,000 taels, he will definitely be willing." β
Yang Guang said helplessly: "Li Yuan is already miserable enough, don't give him eye medicine again." In a word...... Ten thousand taels of gold is impossible, a hundred taels at most, and twenty skilled craftsmen will be assigned to you, and if you agree, I will send someone to you now. β
Mingyue suddenly met an opponent in chess, and he felt that he would meet a good talent, and said speechlessly: "His Royal Highness the Prince's ability to repay the money on the spot is really skillful." Look at how this is, let's not make these fictitious ones, and quote the reserve price directly. A thousand craftsmen, ten thousand taels of gold. β
"Fifty craftsmen, five hundred taels of gold, no more. β
"Eight hundred craftsmen, ten thousand taels of gold. β
β...... I really envy Mo Xiaolou. What kind of money-obsessed wife you found, so good at trading! A hundred craftsmen, a thousand taels of gold!"
"Five hundred craftsmen, ten thousand taels of gold. β
β...... Okay, I'll give you eight hundred craftsmen, two thousand taels of gold at most, and no more to talk about. β
"No, I will need five hundred craftsmen, and not a cent of gold will be missing. β
"Bang"
Yang Guang slapped the table and said angrily: "Don't go too far." The whole world knows that my father is thrifty, where can I get so much gold. β
Mingyue smiled: "Who told you to lose the bet." The Tiger Fu and the Edict are the only way to mobilize the Xiaoguo Army, and it is definitely worth the price. β
Seeing that Yang Guang's face was even more gloomy, Mingyue also knew that it was enough to stop, and said: "Three thousand taels of gold, plus a thousand craftsmen, how about the price?"
β......β
"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has great powers, if I can really gather three thousand craftsmen to borrow from me, what if Mingyue doesn't want this gold?" Mingyue shook her wine glass, her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and she looked at the shadow of the trees outside the window where the sake in the cup was reflected.
"Deal. Three thousand craftsmen gave it to you. β
"Hmm...... Huh?"
"Give me the Tiger Talisman. Yang Guang stretched out his hand and said.
Mingyue said in disbelief: "Are you sure to give me 3,000 craftsmen? Didn't you say that the total number of people in the Ministry of Industry is not so much?"
There are not so many in the Ministry of Industry, but I have so many ...... It's a big deal to build the canal later......
"You don't have to worry about that. Just find a place to receive these people. β
Mingyue was about to reply, when she suddenly heard a crackling sound outside, which was very noisy.
At first, the sound was only a little noisy, but later, one after another, it seemed that the entire Chang'an City was covered by crazy noise.
Yang Guang frowned and said, "What's going on outside?"
The black shadow flashed, and there was already a person standing beside him, who lowered his head and reported, "Return to Your Highness." It seems that the people of Chang'an City are spontaneously celebrating something festive. β
"Oh?"
Bang β
"Even the fireworks have been fired, could it be that my father's illness has been cured!" Yang Guang said ecstatically. Gu Bu rushed to the door, opened the door of the private room, grabbed an ecstatic scholar, and asked urgently: "What is the happy event, and why is the whole city celebrating?"
The scholar hugged Yang Guang's shoulder, full of wine, and sprayed wildly at Yang Guang's face:
"You kid is too ill-informed, and you're still a man!"
A black shadow appeared behind the scholar, and as long as Yang Guang nodded, the scholar immediately turned into a nameless corpse.
"Sell less, what's the matter?!"
Yang Guang tilted his head slightly, signaling the black shadow to retreat, and at the same time, his shoulder shook, shaking away the scholar's hand on his shoulder.
The scholar was obviously very excited, his face was flushed and almost crazy, and he replied with a laugh:
"Haha, news just came from Taiyuan. The public enemy of our Great Sui men, the silver-speared little overlord of Chengdu Mansion, and the world's first demon - Mo Xiaolou, is finally dead......"
"Wow Ka Ka, the Goddess of the Bright Moon is finally out of the clutches of the devil and saved!" Another drunk in the inn was asleep, but when he heard the scholar's voice, he instantly walked over, jumped up, and shouted wildly.
"I heard that it was the No. 1 master in the Central Plains, Sanren Ning Daoqi, who personally shot and beheaded the devil in Longmendu. β
"Quick! I'll go and have a cannon fight later. β
"Yes, yes, yes......"
Smack-
Mingyue's face turned pale, and the wine glass in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.
......
The tender cold first penetrates the shadow of the east wind. The sound of water under the bridge is long. It's cold in the middle of the night.
Chang'an, East Palace.
"County Lord, you haven't eaten for a day, the imperial chef has made your favorite apricot blossom cake, get up and eat a little. The slave and maid outside the door were genuinely afraid.
A petite figure in the room, wrapped himself firmly in the quilt, and from time to time there was a hoarse sob, apparently having been crying all day.
Yin Kwai faction, Chengdu station.
A large bamboo forest in the back mountain was razed to the ground by the little girl overnight, and the Yin Kui generals talked about it, all saying that the double cut broke the air, like a sad cry.
On the outskirts of Chengdu, Dashi Temple.
"Lord Sina, you ...... Have you thought about it clearly......" Master Shingon's compassionate voice echoed throughout the Buddhist hall. Under his head, Sina, dressed in green clothes, bowed her head and knelt on the futon.
"Master, Sena's only relative died in the Temple of War, or in that way...... It was Sina who killed Shizun, Sina...... Senna's heart is already dead, and she only wants to escape into the empty door and seek purity. β
Her voice was low, dim, and seemed to be out of love.
"Amitabha. If the mind is not quiet, how can it be pure?"
"Master. My heart is dead, how can I not be quiet? β
After Sina finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Hey, why is the donor so bother...... That's it, I'll ......."
"Master, I just received the news that Mo Gongzi was killed by Ning Daoqi near Longmendu. A small novice suddenly rushed into the temple and stumbled.
"What?!"
Zhenyan glared angrily and shouted, "Ning Daoqi'an dares to kill my heir?"
He took a deep breath and suddenly uttered the mantra - "Bing!"
The Buddha statue behind him shook violently with the word "soldier", crumbling, and almost fell down!
Boom Boom β
The Buddha statue actually turned into a neat square piece and slid down from top to bottom.
Immediately afterward, the golden light shone on the entire Buddha hallββ
Among the Buddha statues, there is a Zen staff!
As soon as the mantra reached his hand, the Zen staff was already in his hand.
"Donor, the old man has an urgent matter today, and he will shave your head another day. β
After finishing speaking, he walked away from the crowd, and the wind brought up by the walk actually made the monks of the Novice Temple in the Buddha Hall feel like a knife cutting their cheeks.
"I'm going with the master!"
