Chapter 42: Strategizing
Suzaku Hall is not an institution of the outer gate, but the name of a courtyard that is more ornately decorated, and the three big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the door plaque are also hung up by their own names.
It's just a small courtyard that calls itself "Tang", which is also bold in the Heavenly Dao Sect, but since this sign was hung up, the Heavenly Dao Sect did not have any dissatisfied remarks, so the three words of the Vermilion Bird Hall gradually became famous, not only the outer door, but also the inner door.
At this moment, under a phoenix tail tree in the inner courtyard, a young man was crooked on a recliner, staring at the blooming phoenix tails, and after a while, he squinted his eyes at a person standing next to him: "Check it, where did she get so many spirit stones." ”
The people who were waiting around him retreated silently, Ye Fei sat up boredly, and saw the housekeeper walk in and said, "Neimen Luo Fan also bought a bet of twenty spirit stones, and one pays ninety-six." ”
Ye Fei raised his eyebrows, "Have they been in contact recently?"
"The last time was before Jian Ruochen's retreat, at that time Jian Ruochen was still inducing qi into the body, Luo Fan had just built the foundation, and in less than a month later, Jian Ruochen had advanced. The butler replied.
"The sect that entered together, it is right to help, especially they still have a love of life and death, but they trust ...... so much" Ye Fei groaned, and suddenly smiled, this smile made the corners of his eyes slightly raised, and a pair of peach blossom eyes looked forward to shining.
"Fortunately, they can still be people, and they haven't put their whole net worth on it. ”
The housekeeper hesitated: "In two days, Jian Ruochen only cut down two silver pines, and he didn't even transport them, and he completed it three days ahead of schedule, which is too big." ”
"Who said that all you need to do is cut down ten silver pines and bring them down? Ye Feiqian said obliquely to the housekeeper.
"Is the young master saying that Jian Ruochen can increase the number of silver pine trees cut down and replace transportation? It's just that even if she doesn't rest day and night, and doesn't go down the mountain, that is, double the amount, the number of points for transporting a silver pine is the same as cutting down a silver pine, if she hires handymen with gold, or asks other people to help, she will also lose. The butler was puzzled.
"If we don't make a bet, I bet that Jian Ruochen must have completed the task three days ahead of schedule. Ye Fei said to the housekeeper with interest.
The young master laughed, the young master has never lost the things he wants to gamble on. The butler solemnly refused.
"Hehe, there are still ten days, well, it's seven days to know, don't worry. Ye Fei turned around boringly.
"Young Master, after this bet, it's time to consider advancement. The housekeeper couldn't help but say.
"Only the fire attribute is advanced...... Ye Fei shook his head, "It's rare that I have three spirit roots of wood, fire and earth, so coexistent, only one spirit root is advanced, it's a pity." ”
The housekeeper was silent for a while before he said, "But young master, it's been three years since you subverted in the late stage of Qi training. ”
Ye Fei sneered: "Isn't it very good, if I don't advance, there will be no trouble." ”
Ye Fei is the three spirit roots of wood, fire and earth, this kind of spirit root is very rare in the three spirit roots, at least it is much better than the fire and water dual spirit roots, which restrain each other, but only the spirit root is advanced, he is unwilling.
Wood makes fire, fire gives birth to earth, what a good spiritual root, but wood and earth, the earth spiritual root that should be the strongest has become the weakest.
The butler sighed silently.
Jian Ruochen knew that there were several people who couldn't sleep well this night, and she did the same, leaving He Yuchun's yard and returning directly to her cabin, the lights in the room were lit until the second half of the night, and after that, Jian Ruochen slept with her clothes for two hours, and left the room before dawn.
Learning the lesson of starvation the day before, Jian Ruochen first went to the dining hall to pack three meals, spent the contribution points in his hand cleanly, and soon after leaving Yizhuang, he once again took a big step and ran.
Zhu He sat in front of the door boredly, but his eyes glanced at the road outside the mountain from time to time, he impulsively took out all the spirit stones to gamble yesterday, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, what did Jian Ruochen take to bet the highest bet? But what was even more strange about him was himself, how could he believe Jian Ruochen.
He was 100% sure that Jian Ruochen did not apply a deceptive spell to him, but he just believed it unguardedly, thinking about it for half a night, and recalling Jian Ruochen's every move, word and deed countless times at that time, Zhu He had to admit that Jian Ruochen had a kind of trusting temperament, which had nothing to do with her cultivation.
Almost the same time as yesterday, Jian Ruochen really arrived, the handymen hadn't gotten up yet, and the whole shed was quiet, only Zhu He, who was sitting, and Jian Ruochen, who came over.
"Morning, Steward Zhu. Jian Ruochen smiled lightly and bowed.
"Which bet did you make?" Zhu He said bluntly.
"Triple the maximum odds, it will be announced in a moment. Jian Ruochen said.
"Three times!" Zhu He jumped up suddenly, "Three days in advance, are you crazy?"
Jian Ruochen raised his eyebrows and said with a pleasant face: "Senior Brother Zhu, I have something for you to see." ”
As he spoke, he put his hand into his arms, and when he took it out, he had a few more pieces of paper in his hand.
Zhu He was still shocked, subconsciously took the paper, most of the paper was pictures, he brushed and looked at it, and then looked up, his eyes were even more shocked than before.
"You...... How did you come up with that?" Zhu He exclaimed.
Jian Ruochen sighed: "I don't understand, why don't you use a storage bag to put the silver pine down." ”
"There are no attributeless monks, all silver pines can't touch spiritual power before refining, and if you want to get the purest rune paper, you can only use your hands. Zhu He shouted.
Why don't you say that you still need a single spirit root monk to be able to refine it?" Jian Ruochen pursed his lips in his heart, but said on his lips: "It's very simple, I need to win the bet. ”
Zhu He looked down at the drawings again, and when he looked up, he looked at Jian Ruochen's eyes and was puzzled, "You give this thing to the sect, and you can save you from the task of a few years." ”
Jian Ruochen shrugged: "If you can contribute something to me, or a spirit pill that I can't use for the time being, it's not as good as a spirit stone." ”
"Why give it to me?" Zhu He still asked.
"You give me twelve spirit stones, and I will divide them in half after the deed. Jian Ruochen's smile was very happy, "I'll leave it to you, I will cut twice as many silver pines, if it is convenient for Senior Brother Zhu, help me exchange two Bigu Dan." ”
Zhu He looked at Jian Ruochen's back as he went up the mountain, and still couldn't believe his luck, Jian Ruochen was his nobleman?
He looked down at the drawings in his hand again, calculated them in his head, put them in the storage bag, grabbed a handyman who had just pushed open the door and gave a few words, and left in a hurry.
Jian Ruochen is not worried at all that Zhu He will not do what she thinks, those who work hard will govern people, and the mind that can do things in the outer door will be clear, and dealing with these managers is also what Jian Ruochen is best at, she can easily know what they need.
Everyone has weaknesses, basically power, money, and affection, and for the stewards, it is power and money, and no one will refuse the money sent to the door.
