In the evening, it was still in the hall of the Huang family.
It's just that, unlike noon, at this moment, whether it is on the table, the chairs, or even the floor, the hall is full of big burdens, which seem to be about the same size, and from time to time servants struggle to move in one by one from outside.
Wang Sancai was standing in the corner of the hall looking at the baggage of the hall, Huang Shikun on the side glanced at Wang Sancai, who was still dressed in coarse linen clothes and empty-handed, and his face couldn't help but show a little doubt, and he forcibly suppressed these doubts, and saw the servants who were not busy yet, Huang Shikun said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, Boss Wang, there are too many low-grade yuan stones, but I estimate that it will take at most a little more time to transport them." ”
"It's okay." Wang Sancai showed a friendly smile: "There are so many low-grade Yuan Stones, even if the Yellow City Lord asks people to count them, he will have to count them for a while, let alone collect them all here...... It was already a surprise to be able to sort it all out in one afternoon. ”
As he spoke, Wang Sancai looked at Huang Shikun with a smile: "I thought we would not be able to trade until at least tomorrow." ”
Huang Shikun saw that Wang Sancai was not embarrassed because of the low-grade yuan stones in the house, and he was a little relieved, and said with a casual smile: "Honesty and efficiency have always been the style of the Huang family. ”
After saying this, Huang Shikun saw that the servants were still busy for a while, so he chatted casually: "I remember that when I first met Boss Wang, there was only one beast rider by Boss Wang's side, but not long ago, Boss Wang brought into the academy had a very fat friend, I don't know if my people didn't strictly check it at first, or Boss Wang would play tricks and conjure up a person after entering the city?" ”
At this time, even Huang Shikun didn't know how to position Wang Sancai, even if Wang Sancai suddenly turned into a big living person now, he wouldn't necessarily be surprised.
In his heart, it is really impossible to measure Wang Sancai with common sense.
Wang Sancai didn't know if his words had a deep meaning, so he had to smile and say: "There is absolutely no problem with the Yellow City Lord's subordinates, that little fat man I only met after I entered the city." ”
"Oh?" Huang Shikun suddenly became interested: "So, that very fat friend must have something special?" ”
Hearing what he said, it seemed that he didn't know Bai Xiao's true identity, and Wang Sancai didn't know whether the deaths of Bai Xiao's father and his brothers were related to the Huang family, but when he saw him suddenly talking about Bai Xiao, he suddenly became vigilant, but on the surface, he still smiled easily: "How can the Yellow City Lord see it?" ”
Huang Shikun saw that Wang Sancai was reluctant to answer himself, and his heart sank, knowing that Wang Sancai had misunderstood him, he immediately explained: "I'm sorry, Boss Wang, I didn't inquire about your privacy, it may be that Boss Wang is too mysterious, so I think that the person Boss Wang can fancy must have something special about him, of course, I just asked casually, and it doesn't matter if Boss Wang doesn't answer." ”
Wang Sancai was relieved and smiled: "The Yellow City Lord thinks highly of me, that little fat man is actually a poor man, I heard that his destination in the future is the same as mine, so I took him by my side and took him for a ride when I was ready to leave." ”
Sure enough, hearing Wang Sancai's explanation, Huang Shikun immediately lost interest, and said with a casual smile: "Boss Wang is really a warm-hearted person. ”
Speaking of this, he saw that all the servants had left, and Manager Li had already appeared at the door with a small notebook, so he introduced to Wang Sancai: "Boss Wang, these burdens on the ground are all low-grade yuan stones, and the five bags on the table are medium-grade yuan stones, and now all the low-grade yuan stones I plan to exchange are here......
As he spoke, he looked at Manager Li who was standing at the door: "Uncle Li, how much is it in total?" ”
Manager Li bent down slightly and replied respectfully: "Young master, there are 300,000 pieces of low-grade yuan stones, and 20,000 pieces of middle-grade yuan stones, a total of 320,000 low-grade yuan stones...... According to Boss Wang's offer, we can get a total of 100 high-grade yuan stones from Boss Wang. ”
Wang Sancai looked at the big burden that filled the hall, and his brows suddenly wrinkled.
Huang Shikun saw Wang Sancai's expression, his heart jumped, and he immediately asked, "Boss Wang thinks it's too much?" ”
Wang Sancai took a slight breath, but replied unexpectedly, "Is that all?" ”
Huang Shikun and Manager Li didn't expect that Wang Sancai was still too little, and they were stunned for a moment.
Wang Sancai pondered for a moment: "The numbers of these low-grade Yuan Stones are all integers, it seems that the Yellow City Lord only plans to trade 100 high-grade Yuan Stones with me?" ”
Huang Shikun came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly explained: "Boss Wang, you know, there are still many people in the city now, and none of our Huang family members have left, it's not that I don't want to trade all the low-grade yuan stones to Boss Wang, it's that I still need some low-grade yuan stones to feed them, and the rest also have to maintain the construction of the city, so there are only so many people who can trade with Boss Wang." ”
In fact, Wang Sancai originally estimated in his heart that the Huang family would be able to trade 50 top-grade yuan stones with him at most, but he never imagined that there were so many 100 yuan, after all, 300,000 lower-grade yuan stones plus 20,000 middle-grade yuan stones were placed in normal times, and they were already worth five top-grade yuan stones.
As long as he gives Huang Shikun 100 top-grade Yuan Stones, he can net four top-grade Yuan Stones!
And the reason why he showed a "dissatisfied" look was to let his mysterious image deepen in Huang Shikun's heart!
Only in this way will Huang Shikun become more and more taboo about himself.
Of course, just Tuye City can trade 100 high-grade yuan stones with him, so in this way, Wang Sancai will have to reassess the property of the entire Huang family.
"I understand." Wang Sancai nodded, pretending to be slightly disappointed on the surface: "Then trade 100 yuan first, anyway, I have been living here for a while recently, as long as the Yellow City Lord still wants to continue trading, just send someone to the academy to inform me." ”
With that, Wang Sancai first walked towards the Zhongpin Yuanshi on the table.
Huang Shikun and Manager Li glanced at each other, and looked at Wang Sancai's gaze and couldn't help but be a little more cautious.
The process of trading was smooth, and in less than an hour, all the big baggage in the hall had disappeared, and only a hundred high-grade Yuan Stones that radiated light were left on the table.
It's just that although Huang Shikun and Manager Li had long heard about everything Wang Sancai had done on the black market, they couldn't help but almost drop their jaws when they saw the big burdens disappear in Wang Sancai's hands, and saw that pieces of high-grade yuan stones were taken out of thin air by Wang Sancai!
Wang Sancai looked at the already empty hall, pointed to the top-grade Yuan stone on the table, and said with a smile: "This is 100 yuan, it's not too early, I should go back to eat." ”
His words interrupted the two people in shock, Huang Shikun's face softened, and he immediately said: "I have already asked someone to prepare the dinner, and some women have been found at the dinner, if it is convenient for Boss Wang, you can call your two friends to come and participate together." ”
Wang Sancai shook his head and rejected Huang Shikun's invitation: "No need, Huang City Lord, my friends and I really don't want to be disturbed by others." ”
“…… All right. Huang Shikun didn't expect that even this invitation was rejected by Wang Sancai, but he didn't get angry, and immediately smiled: "I will send someone to deliver the meals of Boss Wang and the other two friends...... I hope all three of them can enjoy their stay here. ”
"Definitely." Wang Sancai responded with a smile, and left the hall directly under the gaze of the two.
"Cultivator businessman who is not lustful...... It's so elusive! Huang Shikun looked at the back of Wang Sancai leaving, took a hard breath, glanced at the 100 high-grade yuan stones on the table, and said to Mr. Li: "Uncle Li, wait a minute, you can clean it up, there are 100 high-grade yuan stones, which is enough for some people to speed up their cultivation, by the way, ask someone to withdraw the dinner!" ”
Unexpectedly, Manager Li did not directly clean up the top-grade yuan stone on the table, but walked to Huang Shikun's side and said in a low voice: "Young master, just now your father's people brought news from the front line, he showed the highest token, and now he is waiting outside." ”
"My father's man?" Huang Shikun was stunned: "Let him come in." ”
Manager Li hurriedly responded, and after putting the table full of high-grade yuan stones into a bag, he walked out of the hall, and after a while, a man wearing a high hat and a thick coat walked into the hall, he hid his face in a high hat, and his thick clothes were full of stains, as soon as he walked into the hall, he closed the door with his hand, and at the same time, he also took off his hat.
Huang Shikun couldn't help frowning, but when he saw the appearance of the person who came, his face suddenly changed: "Uncle, why are you?" Didn't you follow my dad on the front line? ”
The person who came had a thick beard, but his figure was quite thin, he hurriedly covered Huang Shikun's mouth and warned in a low voice: "Shikun, don't make a noise, I was ordered to come back this time." ”
"Is my dad okay? I heard that he was seriously injured. Huang Shikun reacted and restrained his voice.
The person who came shook his head lightly: "Your father is fine, in fact, it was only a minor injury, I came back this time to bring news from the Bai family." ”
"The Bai family?" While Huang Shikun breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but be stunned again: "Hasn't the Bai family been destroyed?" ”
"That's just news from carrier pigeons." The person who came sighed: "You also know, the carrier pigeon is not safe, I set off on the same day as the carrier pigeon, I dare not ride a horse along the way, I can only choose a remote path, completely rely on my own strength to hurry, if I am not worried that others will find out, I am afraid that I will be able to come back yesterday." ”
Huang Shikun's face was extremely ugly: "Uncle, you are so careful, could it be that something happened to Zhou Guo?" ”
The visitor glanced at Huang Shikun appreciatively, and said in a low voice: "Actually, the loss of the front line is because of the Bai family's adultery and betrayal of the country!" And through many ways, it can be seen that many families in the Zhou country are very suspicious! This war is likely to be inseparable from these problematic families! Now that the head of the Bai family is in the hands of your father, and his two sons died in the war, he has no worries now, and he refuses to say a word. ”
Huang Shikun suddenly became energetic: "I'll send someone to strengthen vigilance now!" ”
The person who came grabbed him: "Don't worry, you have more important tasks!" ”
"What?!" Huang Shikun's heart jumped.
The person who came lowered his voice again: "Before the war began, the Bai family patriarch had already let his youngest son go, and the most important thing for us now is to find his youngest son in order to force the Bai family patriarch to speak!" ”
Huang Shikun's expression immediately became a little unnatural: "My father will not threaten people!" Even if that person was a traitor, he would never do such a despicable thing! ”
"Yes, your father really can't do it, because it's His Majesty's order." The person who came sighed a long sigh: "Although the head of the Bai family is still in your father's hands, your father thinks that it is not a gentleman's act to threaten the head of the Bai family with a small child, especially the only incense left in this family, so he refused Your Majesty, and as a result, your father, including his subordinates, has all been controlled by His Majesty!" ”
As he spoke, his tone became difficult: "Your father released the news of the destruction of the Bai family to the outside world because he didn't want to leak the news and let those problematic families hear it, so His Majesty can still fully trust your father, but your father's refusal of Your Majesty's order made Your Majesty feel very annoyed, so Your Majesty asked me to come back and tell you the true news!" We must now find the third son of the Bai family, not only to save the kingdom, but also to save your father! Although it's still a secret, it won't be long before all the major families will feel that something is wrong! If the family in question finds the third young master of the Bai family first, Your Majesty will be annoyed, and I am afraid that your father will be used to open the knife! So we have to be fast! ”
Huang Shikun was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he said with difficulty: "No, Your Majesty won't treat my father like that!" He and my dad grew up together! And, now, Your Majesty can only trust my father!! ”
The person who came sighed: "But people will always change, especially in recent years, Your Majesty's temper has become worse and worse, and he has become less and less considerate of your father's opinion, although for the time being, he can only trust your father, but if the third young master of the Bai family falls into the hands of the family in question, your father can't force the head of the Bai family to speak, then he will be charged with dereliction of duty!" Now the position of the major families is still uncertain, when the time comes, if Your Majesty does not use your father to make a decision, do you think that other families will still do their best to Your Majesty? ”
Huang Shikun's fist was clenched: "If Your Majesty dares to touch a single hair of my father, aren't you afraid that my Huang family will rebel collectively?" ”
The person who came was silent for a long time, and said calmly: "Shikun, just a few days before I came back, Your Majesty has broken through to the realm of Dacheng, and now Your Majesty is not worried about Li Guo's nonsense at all, what he is worried about is the position of the major families in the country." ”
Huang Shikun's whole body was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't say anything anymore.
The person who came was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "A great powerhouse, even if there are more cultivators in front of him, it is useless, let alone an ordinary army." ”
Huang Shikun angrily smashed his fist on the coffee table next to him, and the coffee table shattered into several halves: "He is a great and strong man, if any family is not satisfied, he can be destroyed directly!" ”
The person who came grabbed him by the collar: "Shikun, it's easy to dodge the open gun, and it's hard to defend against the dark arrow!" As long as anyone dares to openly rebel against His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely not hesitate to destroy anyone! But the problem is, right now, it's not clear who is really loyal to His Majesty, and who is pretending to be loyal to His Majesty! After all, it is impossible for His Majesty to use Yuan Qi to protect himself all the time, even if he is a great powerhouse, his defense power is only equivalent to a third-level cultivator when he does not have Yuan Qi to protect himself! Moreover, it is impossible for His Majesty to wipe out all the families, and you think, if he really did that, then he would be the only bare-rod king left in the country, and everyone would regard him as an enemy! So is he still a king? Even if he has the strength of Dacheng, as long as his vitality is exhausted, he may die in the hands of an ordinary person! ”
Huang Shikun closed his eyes in pain, and was silent for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "What are the characteristics of the third son of the Bai family?" ”
Seeing that Huang Shikun finally compromised, the people who came breathed a sigh of relief, but shook his head and said: "Now I'm afraid no one knows except the head of the Bai family, because the third young master of the Bai family rarely shows up...... No one knows what he looks like and what he is characterized by. ”
Huang Shikun suddenly suppressed his anger and said, "Then where can I go to find the third young master of the Bai family?" ”
The person who came immediately comforted us gently: "Don't worry, before I come back, Your Majesty has already sent someone to look for the servants of the Bai family who are still alive in the Burning Stone City, and when we collect the appearance and characteristics of the third son of the Bai family, someone will immediately come to inform us, the biggest reason why Your Majesty asked me to come back first...... It's to appease you. ”
