The monk stretched out a finger and shook it left and right at the five, his eyes full of disdain. Immediately, he turned his head away from looking at them, and continued to silently endure Yang Taishou's unbridled admiring gaze.

The five-person group was shocked and frightened, they and others had never failed to join forces, how could they have been lightly defused by a monk in the Southern Wasteland, and ...... And it was even despised.

The five's horror was followed by anger, and the monk's contemptuous eyes made them feel a great insult.

Fortunately, they had not been distracted by anger and knew that they could not fight in the house. The most arrogant young man among them stepped forward, pointed at the monk and said, "Monk Wuna, do you dare to go out to fight?"

The monk didn't raise his head, and replied in a flat tone: "You can't do it, let's change someone." ”

This sentence completely detonated the anger of the five-person group, and the young man who spoke before didn't care about his boss Gao Taiming sitting next to him, his feet shook, and his right hand hit the monk's chest with a move "Black Tiger Digging Heart".

The monk did not resist, and luckily received a punch from the young man with his chest. The young man felt like he had punched the rock, and the bones of his aching hands were numb, as if the bones were about to break. Then, a strong force shook from the monk's chest, and the sound of "crunching" that made people's scalps tingle came from the young man's fist, and the young man's whole person was shocked and flew back upside down, hitting the four people behind.

With one move, the young man's right hand was scrapped.

The other four took the young man and waited to rush up. Gao Taiming said lightly: "This is a restaurant, not your martial arts arena, let's go down first." Gao Taiming had already seen that the opponent's skill was significantly higher than that of his subordinates. If it is in an open field, the five people besieging the monk may still have a chance of victory, but in such a narrow place as the restaurant, there is only a dead end one by one.

In a faint tone, everyone heard the anger hidden under Gao Taiming's calmness. Both sides want to give each other a disadvantage when they meet, so that they can have the upper hand in the rest of the conversation. It's just that what Gao Taiming didn't expect was that a monk on the other side who was not good-looking had amazing martial arts, which made his invincible five-person group suffer a big loss since he went into battle.

The group of five left, and the great monk stood behind the king of Tianzhu and began to wander outside. Yang Taishou's timely speech relieved everyone's tense atmosphere.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is the younger brother of the king of Tianzhu, Prince Yapisha. The middle-aged man smiled and nodded to Gao Taiming.

"This is the commander of our Dali Eastern Army, General Gao Taiming Gao, and his father is the prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people in our Dali country. Yang Taishou introduced in an accentuated tone.

Gao Taiming had lost for a while before, and he was in a very bad mood at this time, so he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "I have heard the name of Prince Yepisha for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was indeed a dragon and phoenix among people." ”

Prince Jepisha politely replied, "Where, where." Long admiration, long admiration!" symbolically responded, and then said to Yang Taishou: "Friend, the news you asked people to pass on to me before is true?"

Gao Taiming had been so ignored, and his heart was furious. It's just that the person in front of him is related to whether he can succeed in major events in the future, so he can't help but press out the resentment in his heart, pretend to be nothing, and continue to maintain that smile on his face that is more ugly than crying.

Yang Taishou was secretly proud in his heart, but he didn't show half a point on his face. smiled and replied: "Good friend, we have known each other for so long, how could I have lied to you." This is true, but it still needs your cooperation. ”

"As long as you can show sincerity, there is no problem in cooperating. Jepisha replied.

Yang Taishou glanced at Gao Taiming, Gao Taiming nodded, meaning that Yang Taishou had full authority to decide the negotiation, which was also what Gao Xiangguo told him when Gao Taiming came.

Yang Taishou was relieved and said: "Three cities, borrowed for three months, one million taels of silver." Every tax payable in the city is yours, and we only need to occupy it nominally for three months. ”

Yapisha raised a finger and deliberately pretended to be angry and said, "Old friend, we have been doing business for so many years, and your character of taking advantage of the dead has not changed. One million taels, how can you tell my brother if you let me go back? 10 million taels, not a single point less. ”

Yang Taishou smiled slightly and said: "Prince, as you said, we have known each other for many years, and we all know each other, so don't make that look like you have been wronged and suffered." Two million taels, this is already our bottom line, and we don't want your city, just nominally borrowing it for a few months. No more, it's not worth it. ”

Jepisha shook his head and said, "Good friend, it's not just a matter of borrowing for a few months. Once you openly say that you have occupied our city, the reputation of our Tianzhu Kingdom will suffer greatly. My brother and I will be under pressure from all walks of life in the country. In particular, the brahmins, who are self-righteous and self-proclaimed oracles, will use this as an excuse to find a way to remove my brother from power so that he can install a puppet of theirs. If there is not enough interest, the matter cannot be discussed. Nine million, you have to give enough sincerity. ”

"So ......"

"No......"

The two began a series of arguments on this issue, and Zuihou argued loudly with a red face. Gao Taiming's nervous palms on the side were in a cold sweat, for fear that Yapisha would not be satisfied, and the monks behind him pounced directly. Alone, he was no match for the monk.

However, Gao Taiming was obviously worried in vain. The guards of the Yapisha monks seemed to be old monks, and they didn't look at the two people in the dispute, but kept their eyes closed, and silently recited Buddhist scriptures in Tianzhu. It seems that the two of them have long been accustomed to this.

In the end, the two reached a consensus. Yang Xiyu paid Yapisha 35 million taels of silver, which must be silver, not gold. There is nothing else in Tianzhu country, but there is gold. At the same time, Yang Xiyu also had to prepare 3,000 young adults, half of men and half of women, as slaves to Yapisha. In addition, there are countless kinds of silk and pottery.

In exchange, Yapisha agreed to hand over the three cities adjacent to Zhuyue Province to Gao Taiming for three months, and the so-called "borrowing" was only a nominal declaration of occupation to the outside world, and he had no use or other rights to any facilities or people in the city, including livestock. As a sign of sincerity, Yapisha agreed to have Gao Taiming stationed no more than 500 soldiers in each city. In addition, Gao Taiming's military flag can be planted at that time. As for the specific time to start "borrowing", it is up to Gao Taiming's side to decide. But silver, slaves, and other items had to be delivered to Jepisha's possession one month "before borrowing."

When the plan was finalized, Yapisha and Yang Xiyu looked at each other and smiled, and it was a very tacit smile. It's just that the smiles of the two of them looked like two old foxes who had accumulated years of age, thinking that they had taken advantage of each other, and they smiled at each other insidiously and proudly.

The business is settled, and the wine and food are served. The mood is big, and the mood is not too bad, Gao Taiming looks at each other at this time, and it is much more pleasing to the eye than before. Everyone pushed cups and changed lamps, and the luncheon was spent in a happy and harmonious atmosphere.

Back at Taishou Mansion, Gao Taiming was still making a little explanation with Yang Taishou, and the five-person group came over collectively.

A middle-aged man with a full head and the most ordinary figure, but the most murderous aura came out and said to Gao Taiming: "General, I want to meet that Tianzhu monk again." ”

Gao Taiming thought of the monk behind Yepisha, and thought about it carefully, except for the size of ordinary people, the length of his face was a little scary, and there were more scars on his body, there seemed to be nothing more outstanding. I can't feel the momentum of a master on the monk's body. But how could the monk be unscathed by the momentum attack of the five people joining forces, and abolish one of his generals with one move?

Suddenly, Gao Taiming recalled that his father Gao Shengtai had told him that he had two greatest wishes in this life: one was to sit on the dragon chair and feel the taste of being an emperor. The other is to hope to be able to advance to the innate realm in his lifetime.

Gao Taiming also once asked his father what kind of realm the innate realm was. Gao Shengtai was just silent at the time. After a long time, he said: "There is no gas and no power, return to the basics, and there is a trace of heaven and earth's 'martial intent' between gestures." ”
