C364 The Xu Rank as Proof

This was the result Du Qi wanted. He saw that Yan Hao had taken the initiative to ask. So he agreed readily, "Alright, we are still not his match. Three years. Three years later, on August 15th, I will duel with him on the summit of Mount Tai, regardless of victory or defeat. Our enmity with him will be written off, and we will never dare to find trouble with him for this matter! "

Yan Hao smiled in satisfaction. "Alright! It's a deal..."

Suddenly, a sound came from above and interrupted Yan Hao's words. Lu Bing's voice immediately sounded. "There are 897 gold taels and 7600 silver taels in this box. In addition to the precious jade, antique, and famous handwriting, there should be more than 3,000 gold taels in exchange for the 3,000 silver notes. Although it is not enough, I have tried my best. I hope that Shixian can let Yu Dayuv go first. How about I make up for the missing amount in the future? "

Yan Shifan sneered, "Wasn't Lord Lu full of confidence just now? Even if he sold everything he had, he still wanted me to let him go? Why did he come to beg me, this worthless white Ding, before he had enough money? Ha..."

Before Yan Shifan could laugh, he heard a string of voices coming from afar. "Grand Secretary Xu requests an audience!"

Yan Shifan muttered, "Why is he here? Quickly carry him in!" Yan Shifan obviously did not expect Grand Secretary Xu to visit at this time. He thought he might be a little afraid of Xu Chen. He did not dare to reject, so he hurriedly ordered his servants to carry the box that Lu Bing brought away. Then he shouted, "Grand Secretary Xu, please!"

He estimated the situation in the upper hall. Yan Shifan had been staying in the hall since Lu Bing left. He had not made any sound for such a long time, even if there were some subtle sounds. He hadn't noticed it when he was talking to Yan Hao. If it wasn't for Lu Bing's timely return... Du Qi had almost forgotten that there was still a play in the upper hall.

When he heard Yan Shifan's words, Du Qi still felt a little sad for Lu Bing. Inadvertently, he looked towards Yan Hao and saw that Yan Hao's face was still expressionless. It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him. Maybe he had already made a deal with Du Qi. His face was full of joy, and he seemed to be in a very good mood. He didn't seem to care about the arrival of Xu Chao. It was as if he didn't care even if the sky fell at this moment.

While thinking, he suddenly heard a hearty laugh. "I heard that Lu Bing of Embroidered Uniform Guard, Lord Lu, made an exception to have a meeting with Young Master Yan to discuss important matters. I couldn't help but be curious and come to take a look. I didn't want to disturb the two of you, did I?"

Yan Shifan smiled and said, "Master Xu must be joking. He didn't just invite Lord Lu to the prefecture to have a cup of tea and chat. How could there be anything to discuss? Ha! Master Xu is the real rare guest. Please take a seat and serve tea! "

Lu Bing said, "Master Xu came at the right time. I have something important to ask of you. Master Xu is here to be our witness."

Xu Cheng still smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of big matter would cause you two to be so serious about it?"

As if worried that Lu Bing would tell them everything, Yan Shifan smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, Lord Lu brought three thousand taels of silver with him. He asked us to help him. To save Yu Dayuv from prison, does Sir Xu think this matter is feasible? "

Xu Cheng did not answer Yan Shifan directly, but said with surprise, "Oh? There is actually such a thing? I think you have already come to an agreement, right?"

Yan Shifan said again," Not yet. Lord Lu once promised that he would treat us to a drink after the matter is done. Because he did not get along with Lord Lu much, he was worried that Lord Lu would go back on his word afterwards, so he did not accept Lord Lu's invitation. "

Seemingly not believing Yan Shifan's words, Xu Jie asked Lu Bing without hesitation, "Lord Lu, is this really the case?"

After a pause, Lu Bing said, "What Shixian said is true."

Xu Jie smiled and said, "That's easy. Since this Xu knows about this matter, he would naturally be a witness for the two of them. After Yu Dayuv was released, he would definitely blame Lord Lu for treating Young Master Yan to a drink. If Lord Lu reneges on his promise, then this Xu will treat Young Master Yan to a drink. I wonder what Young Master Yan thinks? "

Yan Shifan also smiled and said, "With Lord Xu's guarantee, I will do my best. I think Lord Lu would be too embarrassed to go back on his word! Lord Lu, you didn't forget your promise just now, did you?"

Lu Bing said confidently," I have always kept my word. When have I ever lied? Don't worry, Shixian! "

Du Qi knew that what Lu Bing and Yan Shifan said was not only about buying drinks, but also about the two thousand gold taels that Lu Bing had yet to collect. It seemed like Yan Hao also knew about their relationship, but he still had no reaction. When he thought of this pair of father and son who were in cahoots with each other, Du Qi became extremely angry. His mood, which had just gotten better, could not help but turn bad again.

Perhaps it was because he saw Du Qi's unhappy expression, Yan Hao suddenly asked, "Young master, did you hear everything?"

Du Qi did not understand what Yan Hao meant for a moment, and said in confusion, "What the Pavilion Elder meant was..."

Yan Hao actually sighed and said, "This child was smart and clever since he was young, but he was ignorant and only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long. I saw that he was a little smart, so I made an exception and promoted him to be my assistant. Let him participate in the national affairs, so we were jokingly called 'Premier and Premier'. What kind of glory would that be? Ai! However, the child was insatiable and did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. He actually struck out the Heaven Upheaval Seal. In order to seize that little bit of power in my hands, he didn't hesitate to secretly seek refuge with the Heaven and Earth Sect. Most of the people in his faction are ungrateful people who do all kinds of evil things. Take today's matter as an example. He actually used it to extort Lu Bing despite my instructions. I, Yan Hao, have always been honest and honest. I never thought that I would give birth to such an unfilial son. Why doesn't this make me sad and sad?"

Looking at Du Qi, Yan Hao continued, "Young master, don't not believe me. I would like to ask, from ancient times until now, which Rank One official doesn't have a large number of wives and concubines? But I only have one wife, and I have never married a concubine. I've never been to the outside world to indulge in pleasures, and I've never been to other areas. I've never wasted anything, and you can easily find out all of this. "

Du Qi couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard this. He looked at what Yan Hao had just said. He didn't intend to reveal this matter to him, but now, Yan Hao spoke bluntly in front of him. This showed the helplessness and anger in Yan Hao's heart. It seemed like the father and son had been fighting each other for more than a day. Now, it might be the critical moment of life and death.

Logically speaking, it was a delightful thing for Yan Hao, the great villain, to receive such retribution. However, at this moment, Du Qi couldn't be happy. Instead, a trace of sympathy arose in his heart. He actually wanted to give Yan Hao a hand. Suddenly, he thought of the possibility that Yan Shifan had planted spies around Yan Hao. These spies must be the person Yan Hao trusted the most.

Obviously, that expert in the dark was undoubtedly the person Yan Hao trusted the most! If that expert in the dark was the spy Yan Shifan had placed beside Yan Hao, then their agreement today would be their shackle. They would give Yan Shifan and the Heaven and Earth Cult an opportunity to take advantage of.
