Chapter 396 Fair Dealing
In this world, transactions are made all the time. Those transactions in the open are clear at a glance, you buy and I sell, you like me, and each gets what he wants.
Peddlers are pawns, emperors and generals, and where there are people, there is trade.
Of course, in addition to the most common transactions that you buy and I sell, there are also many underground transactions, the kind of transactions that ordinary people can't see and touch, and generally speaking, the core of the transaction is the exchange of interests.
Zhuang Yuan wants to make a trade, which is naturally a very unusual transaction.
There was no doubt in Han Mo's star-like eyes, on the contrary, his eyes were very clear, and he seemed to have guessed what deal Zhuang Yuan wanted to make.
"Sir...... Do you think we can do something that even you can't? Han Mo had been standing, but at this time, he pulled down the blood copper stick that was obliquely behind him and sat down slowly.
Because he had to carry Xiao Lingzhi on his back, Han Mo put his blood copper stick on his back.
Zhuang Yuan looked at Han Mo and said, "You seem to already know what I want you to do...... It's difficult, but it's ...... Fair to you guys! ”
Adi frowned and said, "What do you want us to do?" What do you want to trade? ”
"Clean up the portal and get rid of Xu You!"
"Xu You is Mr.'s junior brother?" Han Mo asked, "But...... This clearing portal seems to have nothing to do with us, we ...... It's not under the Guigu Gate! ”
"Invest in us, and you will be regarded as Guigumen people." Zhuang Yuan's expression was solemn: "After entering the Ghost Valley Sect, Xu You is your enemy, and you can clean up the portal justifiably!" ”
All three of them were stunned.
"This ...... Sir is joking! Han Mo felt a little incredible, and joined the Guigu Sect and became Zhuang Yuan's disciple, which ...... It's ridiculous.
Zhuang Yuan coughed for a while before he calmly said: "This is the goods I want, and the price I pay is to point you to find the living eye and leave ...... from here!" ”
Adi immediately said: "If you don't help, we can also find the living eye!" ”
"With your wisdom, I believe that you should be able to find the location of the Living Eye within three or five days, and then if you are lucky, I think you may be able to crack the mechanism of the Living Eye within three or five days and get out of this gossip trap ......!" Zhuang Yuan had a smile in his eyes: "It's just that I don't know if you can support ten days...... No food, no water...... Even if you really miraculously survived ten days without eating or drinking, I would like to ask if your physical strength can cope with Xu You...... His martial arts skills may not be very clever, but the so-called famous generals of the ten directions in the world, he may not be afraid, you are confident...... Martial arts skills are better than him? I should have said that he comes back every two days, so when he comes, you hide like a mouse...... ”
Han Mo and Xiao Lingzhi looked at each other, although Zhuang Yuan said it very indifferently, but the two of them could feel it, since Zhuang Yuan said this, then these words must also be true.
Ten days?
If you don't eat or drink, who can survive ten days?
There is also that terrifying Xu You, Xiao Lingzhi may not be able to truly feel Xu You's power, but Han Mo has seen Yan Xueji's scars by Xu You with his own eyes.
A master like Yan Xue Ji can't easily defeat Xu You, let alone the trio who are now exhausted of physical energy.
Han Mo thought for a while and asked, "Sir, in fact, this transaction really has to be done, and I am only afraid that it will be unfair to Mr. ......!" ”
"Oh?" Zhuang Yuan spent a lot of energy after a long statement, and looked even more tired, "What you said is unfair, but I don't know how to explain it?" ”
"Sir's bargaining chips, is it to help us get out of the gossip sleep?"
"Yes!"
"But if we do go out, we won't be able to help you clear the portal...... Isn't it a loss that you have paid the price and you don't get what you want? Han Mo stared at Zhuang Yuan and said slowly.
Hearing this, Adi glared at Han Mo coldly.
In his opinion, at this time, he should leave this ghost place at all costs, since this dying guy has a doorway, it is natural to use all means to let Zhuang Yuan help everyone leave.
But Han Mo said this, if Zhuang Yuan really had scruples and suddenly changed his hexagram, it would be absolutely bad.
Han Mo naturally saw Adi's dissatisfaction, but he didn't care what Adi meant like no one else, he just looked at Zhuang Yuan.
Since he is the sect master of the Ghost Valley, proposing such a transaction, Zhuang Yuan naturally thinks about the problem clearly, and the problem he said, Zhuang Yuan may have thought of it a long time ago.
I brought it up myself, firstly, to show my sincerity, and secondly, to see if Zhuang Yuan had other mysteries hidden in this transaction.
If Zhuang Yuan's temperament a few years ago was still loyal and willing to trust others, after being abused and persecuted by Xu You inhumane in the past few years, Han Mo was convinced that Zhuang Yuan's temperament had changed too much.
Under his seemingly calm eyes, that heart was full of thoughts of revenge after all.
It's just that the miserable career of the past few years has not defeated this Ghost Valley Sect Master, but has made him learn to be calm, learn to be peaceful, and learn to bring out the killing intent quietly.
Han Mo even saw the shadow of Sun Bin during the Warring States Period from Zhuang Yuan's body.
They are all the same Guigu Zongheng family, they are all victimized by their peers, and they are all burdened with humiliation, which seems to be a copy of Sun Bin Pang Juan of the Warring States Period.
I just don't know if the end result will be the same?
Sun Bin was finally rescued to the State of Qi, and in the Battle of Maling, he designed to kill Pang Juan, take revenge, and clean up the portal. Will Zhuang Yuan be as lucky as Sun Bin?
Zhuang Yuan didn't think about Han Mo's question, "The two great families know Xu You's identity and location, if they can't get rid of him...... Then the Yan family is too incompetent! ”
"Two great families?" Han Mo's pupils constricted.
Could it be that Zhuang Yuan actually guessed that he and Xiao Lingzhi were both children of a family? But from beginning to end, the two of them did not reveal the slightest word about their identity, where did this Zhuang Yuan see it?
Xiao Lingzhi was obviously a little surprised, and asked tentatively, "Sir, are you ...... What are the two great families you are talking about......? ”
Zhuang Yuan said: "If you want to use a secret grotto like Bagua Trap to frame you, I'm afraid the identities of the three are not as simple as ordinary people, right?" He Xuezhi has my junior brother by his side, and he shouldn't do something to kill chickens with a knife...... Since they are using gossip, it means that they are going to use the most secret means to get rid of you...... The reason why they can be so careful, afraid of being known to outsiders about the cause of your death, is naturally because they are afraid of the forces behind the three...... In Yan Kingdom, if the He family can be so jealous and so careful, I'm afraid only other families can do it, right? Two ...... Naturally, he is a member of the family...... And this Wind Country person, although he is not from a family, must be a very status figure in the Wind Country......! ”
He said it lightly, as a matter of course, but it surprised the three of them.
There is no doubt that this dying-looking Ghost Valley Sect Master, his logical reasoning ability is really strong.
"The gentleman is really wise." Han Mo suddenly laughed, "It's just that Mr. is sure that I am not from the same family as this girl?" Why is the gentleman so sure that this girl is not trapped here because of my involvement, and why is he sure that she is also a member of the family? ”
Zhuang Yuan's eyes also showed a hint of a smile: "Before you said this, I was just guessing, but now...... I'm sure of it! ”
Han Mo was stunned.
Rao is brain turned extremely fast, but Zhuang Yuan's somewhat incomprehensible words still made him unable to understand for a while.
Xiao Lingzhi's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she sighed faintly, her tone was full of respect: "Mr. is really extraordinary, and the little woman admires ...... very much!" Glancing at Han Mo, "Don't you still understand what Mr. means?" ”
Han Mo was a smart person after all, he squinted his eyes, thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sect Master of the Ghost Valley, it is really powerful, it actually surrounded us. Mr.'s eloquence is admired by the younger generations! ”
Adi's wisdom was obviously still a little behind Han Mo and the others, and he frowned and asked, "He...... What do you mean? ”
Xiao Lingzhi glanced at Adi and said lightly: "When Mr. Zhuang said that we are two families, he was not sure that we were really from two families, it was just a temptation...... It's just that our son of a family said 'Mr. is really wise', which is equivalent to admitting that we are two families...... It's not the same family......! ”
Adi then understood, looked at Zhuang Yuan, and the original contempt in his eyes had disappeared at this time.
"With the conditions of the He family, if they are not detected by other forces, with the help of Xu You, maybe after the accumulation of time, they can really make some achievements in the end...... Zhuang Yuan said slowly: "But the three of you now know that the doorman behind the He family is from the Guigu Sect, for the sake of your own future, I think you are out of gossip trap, even if I don't make a deal with you, you will get rid of Xu You, so as not to affect the interests ......of your respective families due to the growth of the He family!" He swept the three of them over: "What's more...... He wants to put you to death, and your hearts are naturally full of hatred, and you must be thinking of killing them...... In public and private, you will do everything you can to get rid of them, and you do have the strength, so ...... Trade with you and I'm sure I'll get the results I want! ”
"In this case, as long as Mr. helps us out, even if he doesn't make a deal, he will be able to see us deal with Xu You. Mr. does not mention the transaction, but we owe him a great favor, so wouldn't it be more grateful to us than this kind of mutual transaction......? Xiao Lingzhi asked as she stared at Zhuang Yuan with beautiful eyes.
Zhuang Yuan said calmly: "This deal is naturally a must-do. Because if there is no deal, how can you join my Guigu faction? If you don't join the Guigu faction, even if you really kill Xu You, it will only be your personal grudge, and it won't be considered to clear the door for my Guigu faction...... Only if you have the identity of the Guigu Gate people, can you be called cleaning the portal! He raised his head, looked at Han Mo, and then looked at Xiao Lingzhi, and then said word by word: "This is the rule...... And you, are you willing to accept such rules? ”
S: There is no doubt that spending pen and ink on Zhuang Yuan, he is naturally a very, very important character in this book, and spending some chapters to explain his ins and outs, his story, and Han Mo and others, I think it is indispensable, hehe................ Smash the ticket!!!! g
