C39 Bet
Upon hearing these words, everyone except Yann Lanxun and Lei Hantian changed their expressions.
Hu Dayuv shook his head and muttered, "Crazy! Crazy!" Even the chiefs of Breeze Stronghold were shocked.
Tung Qinglong ignored them and continued, "This one million is not much, not much either. The Lei family's assets are probably more than ten million. I heard that Master Lei Benlei Lei has already said that whoever can save Miss Lei... In the end, I still made a losing deal. A loss of four million gold taels in one go. Don't you think this price is not fair enough? Don't tell me we are the ones who are at a disadvantage? One million is one million. One or two taels can't be less." As he spoke, he saw Tung Qinglong baring his teeth in pain, as if he had really suffered a great loss in his business. It was a heart-wrenching pain.
At that moment, time seemed to have stopped. After Tung Qinglong spoke again, everyone finally reacted.
This number had exceeded Hu Dayuv's understanding and acceptance of the concept. Perhaps Tung Qinglong's words about salary had seriously hurt his pride, so Hu Dayuv decided not to say anything.
Yann Lanxun and Lei Hantian whispered something to each other, then said, "Tang First Chief of Brigands, I don't know if it's appropriate to call you the chief now. After all, there was nothing left in the Three Spear Cave of Old Hat Mountain. You are asking for a million just like that. That is too much. Putting aside the fact that the Lei family had so many properties, just the properties of the Lei family were all restaurants, guest shops, and so on and so forth. Where can I find a million taels of real gold and silver to give to you in such a short period of time? You don't even need to bargain. I don't think there's any need to continue this discussion. "
Both parties refused to give in to each other. It seemed like the negotiations were about to break down. It was Wang Zhiquan who spoke up and acted as a peacemaker.
"Both of you don't have to be in a hurry. We have to talk about the negotiation first before we can decide, right? Everyone, don't be so hostile towards each other. Let's see if we can both take a step back. Settling this matter will be beneficial to everyone. "
Tung Qinglong had come all the way to Breeze Stronghold to seek refuge. Naturally, he wouldn't dare to refute Wang Zhiquan's words. He could only say bitterly, "Since Brother Wang has already said so, I will shed my tears and sell it. I don't want a hundred taels of silver. The original price is five million taels of silver. I only want a discount, a discount! Five hundred thousand taels, hand over the money and I'll let him go. But I can't lower it any further. Sigh..." From his words, it seemed like he had lost 500,000 silver. It was as if he had used a knife to cut the flesh in his heart.
This time, Yann Lanxun did not discuss with Lei Hantian. He directly replied, "Not to mention five hundred thousand taels, even a hundred thousand taels is not enough. One must know that the Lei family was running a business of running water. Even though money came and went every day, but they have to purchase goods and hire people. They also have to repair and repair the deficiencies. For a moment, there was not much cash. Before we came here, the Lei family had already gathered fifty thousand taels of silver from He Family. "
After saying that, Lei Hantian took out a stack of silver notes and handed it to Yann Lanxun. Yann Lanxun continued," There is a total of fifty thousand taels of silver. It won't work even if it works. Just give it a quick one. "
Tung Qinglong didn't even look at the silver notes, "Fifty thousand taels of silver? Fifty thousand silver notes? Hehe, you must be joking. You really think we're beggars to get rid of us!"
After saying that, he turned to Wang Zhiquan and said," You see, Brother Wang, they are not sincere at all. They are here to make fun of us. Let's see them off. It wouldn't be too late to pick them up after they had gathered five hundred thousand. It's just the matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. In any case, the young lady of Lei family will be able to adapt to the dishes on the mountain after a few meals. Eating for a year and a half can be considered as losing weight."
After hearing the last few words, Zhang Jingxuan noticed that Sun Shanglou, who had been keeping his head down and staring at the tip of his feet, raised his head slightly. Tung Qinglong only felt a gaze coming from not far away. It was as if it was real, and he could not help but shiver slightly.
Seeing that there was still a huge disparity between their words, and it was almost impossible for them to reach a consensus, Wang Zhiquan also spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.
The atmosphere became awkward. Seeing that no one was talking, Lee Pingjue said, "General Hu, Brother Yan. Logically speaking, both of you and Brother Tang are guests of our Breeze Stronghold. We shouldn't be favoring each other. However, the Tung family brothers have cut off Old Hat Mountain's capital and come to Green Peak Mountain to seek shelter from us. We are all brothers of the Jianghu, the Breeze Stronghold can't just sit by and do nothing. Since no one is able to come to an agreement, why don't we do it for the time being? The young lady of the Lei family and the other females will temporarily stay in the Breeze Stronghold, and I, Lee Pingjue, can vouch for them on behalf of the Breeze Stronghold. They won't have any problems, and I hope that everyone can bring them back as soon as possible. Big brother, what do you think about this for the time being? "
In the beginning, they were talking to Hu Dayuv and the others, but in the end, they were asking Lee Yuming for instructions. It seemed like they were really going to send them off.
Before Lee Yuming could say anything, Yann Lanxun immediately said, "Mr. Lee, wait a moment. Since you have said that the Tung family brothers are here to protect your Breeze Stronghold, please wait a moment. I have also thought it through. What's the point of talking nonsense with them? The Breeze Stronghold was the true master. Oh, Mr. Lee, don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that the Breeze Stronghold is behind all this. I'm just saying that you can't ignore this matter anymore. In that case, let's just be frank with each other. I've already taken out these fifty thousand taels of silver. I don't want to take it back. Today, we have come to pay our respects as people of the Jianghu, but in fact, there are no generals or young masters. We are all people of the Jianghu, just like the brothers of the Tung family. The pugilistic world naturally has its own rules. I, Yan, would like to make a bet with your village. A bet! No one in your Breeze Stronghold can defeat our Brother Sun Shanglou! If any of you can defeat Brother Sun with just one and a half moves! Let's turn around and leave. We will lose the fifty thousand silver notes to your village."
Lee Pingjue continued," So what if no one can defeat Brother Sun Shanglou or Brother Sun, or even a draw? "
"If it's a draw, then we'll consider it as our loss. If Brother Sun can win by luck, then please let us take the young lady of Lei family home. Let the father and daughter reunite. As for the fifty thousand silver notes, we won't take them away. We will use it as a token of our appreciation to fill in some of the grain for the stronghold. I wonder if the Breeze Stronghold has the responsibility to accept this small bet? " Yann Lanxun replied faintly, but it sounded a little provocative.
Zhang Jingxuan was slightly nervous as he didn't know whether the Breeze Stronghold would accept this bet or not. He turned his head to look at the main character, Sun Shanglou, and saw that he did not seem to have heard these words at all. He sat there without any reaction, as if he was an old monk meditating.
