Chapter 17: Don't Die in Jiangdu City
Xiao Bai was noncommittal, approaching Xu Beiyou and said in a voice in his ear that only the two of them could hear: "Beiyou, in fact, this king is quite unaccustomed to Duanmuyu's kid, but if you want to be the brother-in-law of this king, you must always show some sincerity, just 500,000 taels, is it too little?"
This is the second time that Xiao Bai has said the word "too little" to Xu Beiyou, but this time Xu Beiyou failed to answer the word "a lot". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xu Beiyou's face stiffened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The 500,000 taels of silver are from the Zhang family, and someone Xu has pledged another 500,000 taels of silver, for a total of 1 million taels of silver." ”
At this time, the scene can be called treacherous, and many businessmen who usually boast of having seen strong winds and waves only feel breathless at this time, what is the concept of a million taels of silver? More than half of the people present here cannot afford to spend so much money even if they are bankrupt.
Dare to let the dignified King Qi give an explanation, and after the King of Qi gave an explanation, he directly took out a million taels of silver, whether it was a stunned young man or a hero with his own splendid chest in his chest, he could not be an ordinary person, this is not an ordinary person.
There is no doubt that after today's incident, Xu Beiyou's name is really going to spread throughout Jiangdu, everyone with a head and face knows that Jiangdu has a Xu Gongzi, that is a powerful person who throws millions to fight with the King of Qi, even if he loses, then he has to see who the opponent is, this is called defeat.
Xu Beiyou naturally didn't think about it so much, he was simply forced to this step by Xiao Bai.
In fact, it is too empty and too big for Xu Beiyou, but it can be said that the future is a real vital interest, Xu Beiyou is not a moral saint, and it is not easy to compare the two.
One million taels of silver is almost already his bottom line, if Xiao Bai continues to open his mouth, then he can only risk offending His Royal Highness the King of Qi.
Fortunately, Xiao Bai didn't continue to say anything, but showed a satisfied smile, asked the political envoy to take out the pledge book, and said with a smile: "Xu Beiyou pledged to donate one million taels, everyone, please." ”
Tang Banyan Tree was the first to get up expressionlessly, took a pen and wrote down the Tang family's pledge of 500,000 taels in the book, followed by Luo Fu, since the largest three have been softened, others naturally do not dare to die to the end, and have pledged to donate, according to the different families of each family, the most is tens of thousands, the least is tens of thousands, and the least is 10,000 taels of silver.
Borrowing strength, Xiao Bai borrowed Xu Beiyou's strength to beat all the wealthy businessmen here, and then took advantage of the situation, this set of skills can not be said to be unruly and smooth, nor can it be said to be unsophisticated and sleek, so that everyone present also has to sigh, this is the future emperor, losing in the hands of this kind of character, not wronged.
This banquet of 400 people came to an end after everyone pledged to donate, and Xiao Bai was the last to leave the courtyard after everyone dispersed.
"Yu Kuang, if you go and call Xu Beiyou, just say that this king has something to say to him. Xiao Bai commanded.
The pro-army commander who followed him immediately walked out.
Jiang Bin asked softly, "His Royal Highness seems to have known this Young Master Xu for a long time?"
"I don't know each other, I've just heard of it. Xiao Bai turned around and walked out, "I heard my sister mention it, it's quite an interesting young man." ”
Jiang Bin's face darkened for a moment.
Xiao Bai said to himself: "Han Xuan's adopted son, Gongsun Zhongmou's disciple, how can such a young man taught by these two people be not interesting?"
Not long after, Xu Beiyou got into Xiao Bai's vassal king's car and met Xiao Bai, the king of Qi.
Since the death of the Southern Ghost Emperor, the Daomen forces in Jiangnan have been completely dormant, plus Murong Xuanyin retreated, and the three Jiangnan Lafayettes were able to free up their hands, and Xu Beiyou, who was supported by someone, was very confident, so this time he came alone to see Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai only left Yu Kuang to catch the car in person, and the rest of the people were dismissed, and only he and Xu Beiyou were left in the carriage.
Xu Beiyou didn't have too much trepidation, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, sat in the carriage, bowed his head slightly, and asked softly: "I don't know why His Royal Highness King Qi summoned Xu?"
Xiao Bai, who was sitting on the main seat, waved his hand, and his words were a little playful: "It's not a big deal, I just want to meet you and see what kind of character it is, and I can add up the blue eyes of my sister who is above the top." ”
This time, Xiao Bai did not put the word "this king" on his lips again, but used a more approachable word "I", but the bit of playfulness made Xu Beiyou feel like a big enemy in an instant.
Xu was terrified. Xu Beiyou lowered his voice, and with this respectful image, he was really a little frightened.
However, Xiao Bai has also been accustomed to seeing all kinds of old foxes' acting skills since he was a child, so he naturally didn't believe that Xu Beiyou was really panicked, and said with a smile: "Panic or not, it's good that you understand it in your own heart, I just want to tell you one thing, I only have this one sister." ”
Xiao Bai said calmly: "My father is the lord of the world, naturally there is not only a woman after my mother, the other brothers and sisters are the same father as me but half-mother, and I am the only one who is the same as Zhinan, she has never suffered anything since she was a child, and there is nothing unpleasant, not before, I hope it will be the same in the future." ”
Xu Beiyou raised his head and asked softly, "What is that wooden jade?"
Xiao Bai frowned slightly, and said: "Although Duanmu Yu is not to worry, but Duanmu Ruisheng and the Duanmu family are a trouble, they have taken root in the temple over the years, and they are very important, and now it is an extraordinary time, even the father and emperor have to tolerate them for three points." ”
Xu Beiyou said with three points of-for-tat: "So that means that His Royal Highness King Qi can't think about it for the time being?"
Xiao Bai confessed frankly: "If I have a way to think about it, do you think I will still talk to you calmly now?"
Xu Beiyou said in a deep voice: "Please also ask Your Highness to speak clearly." ”
Xiao Bai sighed softly: "The difference between the vassal king and the prince is one word, but there is a world of difference. As a vassal king, although he can be stationed in a fief and is self-contained, but compared to the prince in the court, it is not good to interfere too much in the affairs of the court, I am now in the domain of Qizhou, and I am the lord of one side on the surface, and I am in power, but in fact, I do not have much influence on the court, if it is not for the fact that I am expected to inherit the unification, I am afraid that none of the elders in the cabinet will put me in their eyes. ”
Xu Beiyou was silent for a moment, and said to the point: "One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, and there is already Your Majesty on the big mountain of the court, so naturally it can't accommodate Your Highness." ”
Xiao Bai stared at Xu Beiyou coldly, making him once again experience the coercion of the Earth Immortal Realm.
Xu Beiyou put his hands on his knees and tried to straighten his body, relying on the supreme sword body to barely support it, and said with difficulty: "Your Highness can't exert your strength in the court, so you can still use me, but I don't know if Your Highness wants to borrow my hand to deal with Duanmu Yu, or if he has some thoughts about the gentleman behind me." ”
Xiao Bai suddenly retracted the momentum of his whole body, and chuckled: "It is worthy of being taught by Elder Han Ge, and it is thorough at all." ”
"Your Highness has won the award. Xu Beiyou's originally straight body bent down slightly, lowering his eyes.
Xiao Bai said indifferently: "Now you can't talk about setting foot in the temple, this king is waiting for you to take the sword qi volley hall into your pocket, I hope you can do it before this king leaves Jiangnan." ”
This king, the widow, the lonely, and the me, is very particular about how to claim to be very particular.
I am only available to the Son of Heaven.
Lonely, is to call himself the prince.
Among the kings of this dynasty, if it is humble, it can be a widow, which means a person with few virtues, but nowadays it is more popular to say the word king, putting aside the original sense of humility, leaving only condescending and high.
Now, Xiao Bai has reverted to the self-title of this king.
Xu Beiyou said respectfully: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, Xu will do his best."
It was nearly dusk, and the car of King Qi of the four horses roared past on the bluestone street, and the idle people avoided it, as if they were in a no-man's land, until they came to the door of Gongsun Mansion and slowly stopped.
At this time, the Gongsun Mansion had already turned on the lights, and the Song official was standing in front of the door waiting for the prince to come back, and after seeing the luxurious carriage roaring by, he subconsciously took a step back, revealing a wary look.
But the next moment, the wary look on her face faded, and she called softly, "Childe." ”
Xu Beiyou, who got off the carriage, smiled at her.
Behind Xu Beiyou, the curtain of the carriage window was slowly pulled up, revealing Xiao Bai's handsome face, and said lightly: "Xu Beiyou, don't die in Jiangdu City." ”
In the face of such an obscure "evil words", Xu Beiyou just shook his head and said in a firm tone: "No." ”
