Chapter 143: Negotiation I
Since he had mentioned to Jiang Huan that he wanted to make a deal with the White Lotus Sect, the meeting with Tang Sai'er became inevitable. For this point, Xu Ruyi already knew it in his heart.
But in Xu Ruyi's imagination, the two should be in the form of a meeting held by a gangster, or which restaurant to charter, or which dense forest or flower boat to agree on, Tang Sai'er brought various Dharma Protector Venerables and the like, and Xu Ruyi also brought Li Caiyu and several of their hall masters, long knives and horses, talking and laughing murderously.
On a normal morning, in a simple wonton shop, without the slightest defense, Xu Ruyi saw the famous White Lotus Buddha Mother on this square table, and between the two, there was only a bowl of steaming wontons and a square box full of chopsticks.
"What, surprised?" said Tang Say'er chuckled.
"Surprised indeed. Xu Ruyi nodded slightly, and then said with a wry smile: "You and I are also one of the characters, but we met like this, and we didn't even bring a few younger brothers, so it was inevitable that we would lose our identity." ”
"Little brother?" Tang Sai'er had never heard such a "trendy" word, but he also understood what Xu Ruyi meant: "You and I have decided the matter, and it is enough to go back and order, where do you need any pomp and circumstance." ”
"Huh. Xu Ruyi chuckled, shook his head helplessly, and then asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Nope. ”
"Lao Li, another bowl of wontons. Xu Ruyi greeted and looked at Tang Sai'er again: "You may not know, there are fewer people now, and there will be more people here in a while." There are many people and many eyes, and there are many inconveniences. Eat first, then go back and find a secluded place. ”
Tang Sai'er nodded indispensably: "It's okay." ”
After two bowls of wontons, Xu Ruyi led Tang Sai'er through the streets and alleys and came to a courtyard door.
"Where is this?" asked Tang Sai'er curiously.
"Is it important?" Xu Ruyi said, stepped forward and snapped the knocker, three long and three short, and then stood still. After about a cup of tea, he pushed open the courtyard door: "Come in." ”
Tang Sai'er knew in her heart that there might be someone living in this courtyard who was inconvenient for her to see, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help laughing: "Are you afraid that I will see that Yamazaki Ryuya?"
Xu Ruyi glanced back in surprise at first, but then understood in an instant: "Oh, I almost forgot, Jiang Huan is taught by your White Lotus." ”
"It's Wei Dongfeng. ”
"What?"
"I said, his name is not Jiang Huan, his real name is Wei Dongfeng. Tang Sai'er is colorful.
"Whatever. Xu Ruyi shrugged, and then walked towards the house.
。。。。。。
"Brother Long, who's coming, why are we leaving?"
"I don't know, but it's okay, just go get something to eat. ”
"And what are we going to eat?"
"Well... Ryu Yamazaki also thought about it: "How about soy milk and fried ghosts?"
"Good. Ouyang smiled crisply and nodded.
The fried ghost is actually the fried dough sticks of later generations, which is a food invented by people in order to vent their hatred for the Qin juniper of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Eating this kind of thing early in the morning is actually a little greasy, but Xiao Ouyang likes to eat it, and Yamazaki Long doesn't care, but some people don't like to eat it very much.
"I'm too tired of eating this in the morning, and I don't fight hunger, why don't we go to Zhao's shop to eat pies?" Fat Feiyan Dong Chao proposed a second plan.
"Pull it down. Xiao Ouyang wants to eat fried ghosts, what are you mixing with blindly. Angrily patted Dong Chao's head, Hua Pengfei smiled and said: "You said that the fried ghost is greasy, isn't the pie also fried noodles? There is still meat wrapped in it, why don't you say it?" Then he looked at Xiao Ouyang gently: "Don't pay attention to him, let's eat fried ghosts." ”
Dong Chao scratched his head and muttered, "There is not only meat in that cake, but also green onions." ”
"Phew. ”
"Hey, hey. Dong Chao said and said, he was happy.
It's not like living in an inn all the time, and Xu Ruyi is running around all day long, and Yamazaki Long is really not a material with children, for various reasons, Xu Ruyi discussed with a few people, and let Yamazaki Long also move to Hua Pengfei with Ouyang. Three adults take care of a little girl together, although it is still frizzy, but it is still a lot better than one person.
Xiao Ouyang was born with a familiar appearance, with a warm smile on her cute little face, and in just a few days, she captured the "heart" of her "fat brother" and "flying brother".
In the past three years, the three of them have taught Xiao Ouyang everything, turning Pengfei's various light skills, Yamazaki Ryuya's Dongying knife technique, and even Dong Chao secretly passed on Xiao Ouyang's several sets of fists and feet and hand-holding kung fu.
Xiao Ouyang is also competitive, although he is still young, his talent in martial arts cannot be said to be outstanding, but he is also a middle-class talent. Bo but not fine, but also accounted for a Bo word, right?
The four of them walked forward, and the people on the street gradually increased, but compared to the hustle and bustle of the previous days, it was a lot stronger, there was no way, the gentlemen who were wandering around were holding back in the tribute courtyard.
After walking for a while, I finally saw the stall of the fried ghost, and I could vaguely see that there were quite a few people in the stall.
"Probably have to wait for a table. Dong Chao frowned.
"Just wait, there's no way around it. Hua Pengfei spread his hands: "This thing eats quickly, and it will be our turn in a while." ”
They were all ready to wait, but they didn't expect to get closer, but suddenly heard a shout: "Devil? Ouyang?"
Dong Chao and Hua Pengfei glanced at each other strangely. They don't know if the devil is talking about Yamazaki Ryu, but Ouyang must be the little girl next to him, after all, there are not many people with their surnames.
Yamazaki Ryu was also stunned, and before he could react, Xiao Ouyang had already run and jumped towards the figure standing up: "Brother Wang~"
"Eh~" Wang Yongzhen smiled and picked Ouyang up in his arms: "It's so big, I can't hold it anymore, do you remember my uncle?"
"Remember~" Ouyang smiled sweetly on his face.
"Oh, that's recognized. Dong Chao and Hua Pengfei put their minds at ease and walked over with Yamazaki Long.
Wang Yongzhen is not the only one at this table, including Wang Yongzhen, there are a total of five people, men and women, old and young.
Five people, a table naturally can't sit down, they are two chapters of the table in this way, the seating is looser, Ouyang and the four of them are just right to add in.
After ordering food, Wang Yongzhen opened his mouth and said: "Meeting is fate, and you may have to deal with each other often in the future, let me introduce it first." He clenched his fists and said to Hua Pengfei and Dong Chao: "In Xia Wang Yongzhen, there is a nobody. ”
"Wang Yongzhen... Before Dong Chao could figure out Wang Yongzhen's origin, he was lightly stepped on by Hua Pengfei beside him.
"Fortunately, fortunately. The two of them returned the salute.
"Under Dong Chao. ”
"Down ... Pengfei. After hesitating, Hua Pengfei still gave a pseudonym. In his line of work, it is still inconvenient for people to hear his name. He was not guarding against Wang Yuezhen and the others, but was afraid of the diners at the adjacent table.
In fact, as soon as Wang Yongzhen mentioned his name, Hua Pengfei had already determined his identity and knew the cause and effect.
Xu Ruyi had mentioned to him about the first village in the world before, and he intended to join him. It's just that Hua Pengfei has been hesitating and hasn't made a decision yet.
didn't seem to see the change in Dong Chao and Hua Pengfei's expressions, Wang Yongzhen began to introduce a few people around him again: "Cao Jie, Zhang Wanhua, Duan Shitong." One by one, his fingers pointed to the two women sitting on Ouyang's left and right: "Han Bing." ”
It's just a name, but they don't say much, and everyone doesn't care, arching their hands to each other and saying kind words.
。。。。。。
"I want Beiping. ”
"We said it couldn't be!"
"You want my White Lotus Sect to contribute, but in the end you only give it to such a poor country, are you kidding?"
"It's not a poor countryside, green forests and mountains, white clouds and black soil, except for some savages, we don't see anything bad. ”
"But there wasn't even a decent city in that place, and we had to build a house for a few years. ”
"Isn't it okay not to build a house? When did you White Lotus Sect become so delicate? The savages of Duoyan Sanwei can live, but you can't live if you go?"
In the room, Xu Ruyi and Tang Sai'er sat opposite each other. Heated negotiations have been going on for almost half an hour, and there is still no tangible result. Xu Ruyi felt that Tang Sai'er was a lion with a big mouth, and Tang Sai'er felt that Xu Ruyi was an empty glove white wolf.
The dispute reached an impasse for a while.
Long
Xu Ruyi sighed, and looked at Tang Sai'er a little helplessly: "The place that our family can give you is the one outside the gate, and Daming's own land can't give you an inch." There's nothing to talk about, if you don't want it, then don't do it. ”
Tang Sai'er chuckled: "Whether to do business or not, it's always talking." The so-called sky-high asking price to give money on the spot is this reason.
It's not that I can't ask for the White Lotus Sect in that place outside the gate, but if you want to build it, the manpower and material resources are inseparable from the Central Plains. But... The pretty face under the black veil sank suddenly: "If my White Lotus Sect gathers at that time, and the imperial court suddenly sends troops to encircle and suppress it, won't my sect become a fish on the chopping block?"
After some lip service, Tang Sai'er finally said the biggest concern in her heart.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Ruyi couldn't help but laugh softly: "Heh, I didn't expect this section, but when you say this, it really reminds our family, it's a good idea." Hehe, hahahaha... ”
Xu Ruyi smiled to herself, as if she had seen the fall of the White Lotus Sect. Tang Sai'er looked at it coldly and waited quietly.
Half a day
Xu Ruyi's laughter gradually stopped.
Tang Sai'er opened his mouth and said, "It's really so funny? It's okay, laugh a little longer, this seat has time." ”
"Enough laughter, enough laughter. Xu Ruyi shook his head slightly, raised his hand and wiped the tears that did not exist in the corners of his eyes: "It is worthy of the White Lotus Buddha Mother, she has thought carefully before and after, and she has not thought about success before she loses, our family admires and admires." ”
"Hehe, pass the prize. ”
"By the way, what does the White Lotus Sect do?" Xu Ruyi looked puzzled: "Is it a burden-carrying peddler who buys and sells in the west?"
"What the hell are you going to say?"
"Daze Township, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted that 'Princely General Xiangning has a kind of hu', did he ever think that he only had 800 post soldiers? When Liu Bei was defeated and left Jiangling, did he ever think that he only had 3,000 remnant soldiers? When Huang Chao tried and failed again and was humiliated by the tax collectors, did he ever think that he only had eight brothers and nephews behind him, and one hundred and two villagers?"
"Oh... Tang Sai'er suddenly realized: "The master of Xu Sect was originally ridiculing this seat for thinking too much and having no courage?"
Master Xu, I, Tang Sai'er, am also the Buddha Mother of the White Lotus Sect, and I am playing the trick of demagogy in front of this seat, you are really a little overwhelmed.
I tell you plainly that without a perfect guarantee, I will not nod my head. ”
"A perfect guarantee? How can there be a perfect guarantee in the world? Cooked ducks can fly, what can we give you to calm your heart?"
"Well... Tang Sai'er tilted his head and pretended to say: "If only you had any handle in my hands... ”
The cold light in Xu Ruyi's eyes flashed, and he said indifferently: "A eunuch in our family, who are the parents, I don't know if they are alive or dead, do you want to catch the handle of our family?" Okay, remember to tell me when you catch it." ”
"Where in the world is there an invulnerable person? You say you don't care about anyone, then... What about Lan Chun. ”
Urgent as rain, as fast as electricity, an ink light crossed Tang Sai'er's white and delicate neck, and the sound of the sword roar was poignant and sharp.
A sword without warning, but it's a pity... And there was no saffron in full bloom.
A faint phantus dissipated, followed by a slightly playful laugh: "What a fast sword, it almost caught your way." Don't say anything else, your temper of turning your face is the same as Ren Xiaoyi's touch. ”
Xu Ruyi was still sitting upright on Nanmu's chair, with the gentleman's sword in his hand, his eyes drooping slightly. But Tang Sai'er's figure left his seat and scattered around the room.
One phantom after another, standing or lying, walking or running, some with their hands folded in front, and some in the state of Ka Ye holding flowers, there are more than ten or twenty of them.
The strange scene in front of him reminded Xu Ruyi of Li Caiyu's words: "The master's martial arts enter the realm quickly, and his subordinates are difficult to know the depths, which is enough to compete with the top masters in the rivers and lakes.
But even so, you have to be careful when you encounter people in the White Lotus Sect, especially Tang Sai'er, the Buddha Mother of the White Lotus Sect. As the old master of the Gu sect said, she may have practiced the White Lotus Sect's supreme mastery of "Six Desires and Seven Emotions Silence Extinguishing Dao" to the realm of Dacheng. Congenitally, this skill may not be said to be the first, but it will not be out of the top five.
The little master must not be careless to underestimate the enemy, so as not to ruin his own life. ”
""Six Desires and Seven Emotions Silence Extinguishing Dao"? Slowly getting up, the gentleman's sword whispered the soul.
