Chapter 53: Deliberation in the Cabinet
"Eighty million taels! Eighty million taels, did you eat gold? Or did you drink his flower essence as water?" On the second floor of the Beidou Pavilion, when Su Yu showed the IOU to Ji Xingkong, His Royal Highness the Prince immediately pointed at He Xiaotong with a fan and jumped to his feet, "Rare and rare? What kind of treasures are you eating? Eat eighty million taels in one go!"
He Xiaotong shrank his neck in fright, and leaned towards Lingyi on the side: "It's just, it's just a chicken." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
"One *** million taels?"
Lingyi stretched out his hand and hugged He Xiaotong, He Xiaotong mustered up a little courage, raised his face and pleaded: "It's not an ordinary chicken, it's a rooster that can lay eggs, and the entire Great Zhou Empire is like this!"
"A rooster that can lay eggs?" His Royal Highness the Prince's lips turned white, "How can there be a rooster that can lay eggs? Can a rooster who can lay eggs still be called a rooster? What can give birth to a child be called a man?"
"Anyway, there is, it's still a double yolk egg. β
Ji Xingkong jumped up and slapped He Xiaotong's head with a fan, scolding while chasing and beating: "You still have double yolk eggs! Double yolk eggs! I call you double yolk eggs!" He Xiaotong turned his head and drilled into Lingyi's arms, shouting in his mouth, "Sister Lingyi, help!", Lingyi hurriedly protected her to the side, He Xiaotong owed such a big debt, she also felt really strange, where could the so-called rooster that laid double yolk eggs stand? While dodging Ji Xingkong's pursuit and beating her, he persuaded: " Situ Gongzi, the matter has not been clarified yet, why rush to blame Xiao Tong, why not ask the little prince of the Lin family, said that Xiao Tong ate a rooster that can lay eggs, what evidence is there? Where are the double yolk eggs laid by the rooster?"
A sentence woke up Ji Xingkong. His Royal Highness the Prince suddenly withdrew the fan, turned around and slapped it in the palm of his hand, and then pointed at Su Yu: "That's right!
Su Yu sat at the tea table and shook the IOU in his hand unhurriedly: "This is the evidence." β
The IOU is in hand, the handwriting is clear, the debt is repaid, what other evidence do you need? Ji Xingkong's nose was almost crooked: "You said that the rooster can lay eggs, but what about the double yolk eggs laid by the rooster?"
"Of course I ate it. Su Yu smiled indifferently, "Fortunately, I ate it, otherwise it would have been eaten by the little boy, and the number on this IOU would have doubled." β
The chicken was eaten by He Xiaotong, and the egg was eaten by Su Yu, and the physical evidence could not be found. This absurd thing knows that it can't be justified, but it can't be overturned, not to mention that the IOU says "rare and rare", and it's not a rooster that lays eggs, so there is no problem at all from a literal point of view. Ji Xingkong obviously knew that this was blackmail, and he had nothing to say at this time, so he gritted his teeth and wanted to step forward to grab the IOU, but after looking at Wu Shanyue who was sitting next to Su Yu, he remembered the embarrassing experience of the empty illusion red dust being broken, and he was very depressed in his heart, but he had to give up.
"Little Master Lin, I have already asked the third prince for a letter of recommendation for you, what else do you want?" Ji Xingkong asked helplessly.
"One yard to one yard, you gave me a letter of recommendation, and I also gave you twenty copies of flower essence," Su Yu said, pointing to the wine jar on the table, "I also gave you the promised green vine fairy drink, let's clear this matter." But now your He Xiaotong broke into my house, destroyed my garden, and stole the rare chicken that I easily got my hands on, of course you have to compensate me. β
"Then, it doesn't take 80 million taels, right?"
"Rare is expensive, it is a priceless treasure, and the price is 80 million taels, which is already based on our friendship. β
Su Yu said calmly, but faintly saw Ji Xingkong's fan fanning him at a strange angle. At the same time, Wu Shanyue also noticed it, but did not feel the strong star power fluctuations, so he did not stop it. The next moment, a message that could only be received by Su Yu penetrated into his mind, as if Ji Xingkong said in his ear: "You really can't practice, right?"
Su Yu couldn't help but smile. This is not surprising, after all, in the small town on the edge of the county, the two of them have fought with real knives and guns, and they have a deep perception of each other, and it is unlikely that Ji Xingkong really believes that he is not the person in the town, and it is strange that he said it as soon as he said it that day. This is also an important reason why Su Yu blackmailed He Xiaotong, the other party may hold his life and death handle, and he always has to try the depth of the other party's army. Now that the other party has finally taken out this handle, he has put his heart at ease. Because this means that the IOU of 80 million taels can be kept secret by the other party. Of course, it is impossible for the third prince to know why he wants to conceal his cultivation, and he will not think that this involves his life and death, otherwise he is afraid that he will be greatly blackmailed in turn. So he still said complacently: "I know that such a large sum of silver, even if it is as rich as Brother Situ, may not be able to take it out, and without silver, it can be exchanged for something of equal value." β
This actually means that he has given in, Su Yu believes that Ji Xingkong will not understand, but concessions are concessions, and it is unlikely that the debt of 80 million taels will be written off, it depends on what you exchange for.
"I can't find a rooster that lays double yolk eggs, not only roosters, but also ducks and geese!" Ji Xing said in the air, turning around and pointing at He Xiaotong with a fan, "There is a little female crane that can only eat and not lay eggs, if you don't think she eats too much, just take it!"
He Xiaotong's little face was flushed, and he wanted to refute something, but he couldn't say a word after pouting for a long time.
Of course, Ji Xingkong said angry words, although He Xiaotong only knew how to eat and eat all day long, but it was his contract star beast, the demon pet of the shapeshift, not to mention anything else, it was really easy to ride on his back and hurry, how could he say that he would give it away? But who knew that Su Yu immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take it away." β
"Wait!" Ji Xingkong was stunned for a moment, and immediately put on a smiling face, "This Baishazhou Crane clan has a deep relationship with my family, if I give it away, I can't explain it to the clan, why don't you borrow it for a few days?"
Unexpectedly, Su Yu nodded again and again: "Naturally, it was borrowed." She eats wherever she goes, you just give it to me, and I can't afford it. β
"Hehe, that's good. Ji Xingkong reluctantly smiled, thinking that this matter of the diaphragm was finally temporarily solved, but there was still a tricky matter that needed to be used by the son of the Lin family. He sat down with his fan shaking and turned his face to look at Lingyi. Lingyi was comforting He Xiaotong softly over there, as if she felt the gaze of His Royal Highness the Prince, and suddenly raised her head and glanced at him. Ji Xingkong subconsciously coughed lightly and turned his head.
Lingyi had already told him the truth about the Returning Sect's ascension to Sendai, which made him know the shocking story of the Returning Religion. One of the main purposes of his visit to Shashui was to verify the matter of converting to the true religion, and now that he has discovered the clues of the evil cult harming people, how can he easily let it go? The Dengxiantai teleportation circle that Lingyi said is suspected to be a dark secret room, and finding out where the secret room is and finding out why the people in the secret room died is what he will do next. He suspected that the vault was inside the temple, but it was difficult for outsiders to find it inside, and he needed to create an opportunity to lure all the higher-ups of the Converts away so that he could get into the temple smoothly.
Therefore, he looked at Su Yu with a smile and asked, "Brother Lin's first-grade flower essence, is there any surplus?"
Su Yu's eyes immediately had a hint of vigilance, thinking that I won't ask you for the time being, and if I want my flower essence again, I can't give it away in vain. smiled at the moment: "There are still a few, but there are not many." β
When Ji Xingkong heard this, he shook his fan and came closer, and said: "Recently, there have been some cultivators gathered in the city, Mr. Gu and I have discussed, I want to take this opportunity to join He Ji to do an auction of Brother Lin's flower essences, although these flower essences are enough at present, but if Brother Lin can take out some more, it will be better." This is a great opportunity, not only to make a name for you, but also to make a lot of money. β
As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted the eyes of Lingyi and Wu Shanyue. Wu Shanyue had been sitting quietly beside Su Yu, so quiet that there was not a single superfluous movement, almost completely ignoring their conversation, but at this moment she raised her head and set her eyes on Su Yu. Exclusive auction, even in this small sand water, it is an honor to be able to hold an exclusive auction, which is undoubtedly the beginning of Su Yu's rise as a technician. Don't miss out on this opportunity.
Lingyi took a serious look at the handsome young man in front of him for the first time. A mortal who can be a first-class flower essence at the age of fifteen, the top gate post that the Beidou Pavilion relies on to maintain today, the three princes also have to respect the genius of three points, of course, it is also the fiancΓ© of the Yue'er girl that Lin Nanxing has coveted for a long time. I used to know that he was a mortal who couldn't practice, but I didn't expect that he was such an outstanding flower essence technician, and the Yue'er girl was not very aggrieved with this kind of character, and even looked at the two of them carefully, and felt that they were the same match made in heaven. In Lin Nanxing's mouth, this young man is worthless, but after really contacting it, he knows that even if he is a mortal, he is far better than his ** son. She suddenly thought again, if she didn't enter the cultivation of the True Sect and became a mortal technician, I don't know if she would also go out of her own way? Unfortunately, no matter how much she thought about it, it was useless, and she was like most people, she only saw a shortcut to the sky, but she couldn't see that she could overcome obstacles and get out of a road to heaven.
The auction, and it was an auction hosted by the Beidou Pavilion, of course Su Yu also knew that the opportunity was rare. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm a little flattered, if I want to do my auction, I will definitely give my full support." Before the auction, I can make a few more flower essences, but there is still a shortage of flowers. β
"What flower?" Ji Xingkong hurriedly asked.
"Centenarian orchid, a strange flower that only blooms in the depths of the desert, so I'm going to take a trip to the Phantom Sea Desert. β
