Song Jian seemed to be smiling but not angry, and he had a stubble on his square chin. When he grinned, he would reveal eight neat white teeth. Although he was not a handsome man in the traditional sense, he did have a unique charm.
He had naturally recognized what Chen Su wanted to pawn. It was a fellow cultivator's soul treasure. If he really accepted it, he would probably be deceived. The fellow cultivator's soul treasure is the thing that has the closest connection with its owner. As long as he
Chen Su walked out of Wanlidang's gate, and he might be able to take it back at any time, unless he could leave the treasure with the person, so that's why there was a saying of taking a person's life.
Chen Su put the black iron knot back with a smile, knowing that Song Jian was not a mortal, and because of Songzhuang's relationship, he was not really looking for trouble, he just wanted to use this as a hook to find Song Jian.
Therefore, his attitude softened a lot, "Master Song's eyes are really sharp. Since this thing is related to life, I still shouldn't do it."
"Oh?" Song Jian's face turned cold upon hearing this, and the other party had hit one of his men before. This incident somewhat disgraced Wanli, "You said it was a convenience, but you said it was not? How could Wanli tolerate it?
Are you just fooling around?"
"What else?" Before Chen Su could speak, Song Yi stepped forward. Now he was basically sure that the Song Jian in front of him was the person he was looking for, so Chen Su's mission had been completed and it was time for him to step forward.
Song Jian was about to get angry, but Song Yi slammed a gold medal on the counter, "You didn't care about his treasure before, but we stopped it. Now you want to use it as an object. How much can you think of it?"
Chen Su knew that Song Yi must have had an idea, so he stopped talking, and instead concentrated on observing the movements around him. Song Jian was about to have a seizure, but when he saw the gold medal that the other party took out, he seemed to feel that it looked familiar and forced him to
Suppressing the fire, Song Yi's palm was flicked away, and he picked up the gold medal. It was made of pure gold and had an eagle carved on the back. Song Jian held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time before saying in a deep voice:
"Where did you get this thing from, and how much do you want for it?"
"Well!" Song Yi raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "This thing is passed down from our ancestors. If it were not forced by circumstances, I would be reluctant to take it out. How much can I get for it? You can give me a price."
Song Jian weighed the gold medal in her hands again, "In this case, do you want to live or die?"
"Of course it's a living thing!" Song Yi kept staring at Song Jian, "When this happens, I have to take this thing back and return it to my ancestors. If I die like this, how can I go home?"
"Humph, okay!" Song Jian clapped her hand on the counter, "I can give you two hundred gold coins for this, and the ransom will be 20% for three months."
"That's it?" Song Yiyi frowned, "Forget it, I won't do it either!" As he said that, he reached out to touch the gold medal.
"Eh?" Who knew that Song Jian would react faster and grab the gold medal in his hand, "You have already spoken your words, how can you not keep your word?"
"Hmph!" Song Yi raised his eyebrows, "Why should I care if the price is not right? Give me back the gold medal!"
"Hehe." Song Jian sneered, "If the price is not right, we can discuss it again. If you think the price I mentioned is low, you can quote a higher price."
"Five hundred!" Song Yi waved his hand, "Unless it's this price, I won't do it!"
"Hehe, you are working with this kid, why are you talking so harshly?" Song Jian said as she turned away from the counter, and at the same time whispered to Da Rong, "The master wants to negotiate the price in the back room, so don't wait for me."
Let them come in and disturb you."
Da Rong responded respectfully, turned around and went inside to prepare. Song Jian slowly walked around the counter. After coming out, his eyes were always on Song Yi, "Friend, the price of your five hundred gold coins is non-negotiable.
What?"
"Hmph!" Song Yi raised his head and curled his lips and said, "If you know the goods, we can still discuss it, otherwise, there is no way."
"In this case, let's go inside to discuss it. The two of you are standing at the door aggressively, fearing that no one outside will dare to come in. If you really have any difficulties, I, Song Jian, might be able to help. In addition, I can also pay the ransom.
How about I give you a bargain?"
"Well, okay!" Song Yi pretended to make a very difficult decision. Song Jian held the gold medal in his hand and said with a smile: "You two, please come in!"
Song Yi and the two followed Song Jian into the backyard. Da Rong had already made preparations. Tea was prepared in the quiet room. Song Jian and the other two took their seats one after another. Da Rong turned around and left. Song Jian then stared at Song Yi and put the gold medal in his hand forward.
As soon as he handed it over, he said, "Friend, is this gold medal of yours really only worth five hundred gold coins?"
Song Yi took the gold medal with a smile and put it on his waist, "I only said it would be five hundred, but I didn't say it would be gold coins. If you take it, it would only be five hundred acres of fertile land."
"It seems that you two are sincerely making fun of me." Song Jian said as he offered tea to Song Yi and Song Yi, but Song Yi suddenly burst into laughter and said, "My name is Song Yi, from Songjiazhuang outside Moji City."
Song Jian looked Song Yi up and down for a long time, then nodded secretly, "Since you know you came here to find me, you must not really be here to win the gold medal?"
"Yes, I took out the gold medal just to meet you like this, but I came here this time to get some news."
"Tell me." Song Jian sat down on the main seat, brought the tea bowl to her mouth and took a sip, "What news do you want to know?"
Song Yi stared at Song Jian for a while, "Don't Zhuguo Mansion still know about what happened in Moji City?"
Song Jian's hand trembled slightly, and he put down the tea bowl and said, "There are rumors that the city lord Xiao Qiong was expelled more than a month ago and his whereabouts are unknown now."
"Whereabouts unknown?" Song Yi looked back at Chen Su, confused. It had been more than a month. The reason why they slowed down was to see what would happen to the Zhu Kingdom if Xiao Qiong came to Beizhu Palace to complain.
Such an attitude, but now Xiao Qiong's whereabouts are still unknown. Could it be that he did not come to Zhuguofu?
Seeing Song Yi's surprised look, Song Jian knew that this person must be a relative, so he stood up again and came to Song Yi's side, "I want to ask more, who are you?"
Song Yi smiled slightly, "If you don't recognize me, you should recognize the owner's gold medal?"
"Are you?"
"Yes, I am Song Yi, the master of the second village." After Song Yi finished speaking, Song Jian hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Unworthy son Song Jian, please pay your respects to the master of the second village."
Song Yi knew that Song Jian's doubts were completely dispelled at this point, and he quickly stretched out his hand to help him up, "In terms of seniority, I have to call you uncle. Although we are both descendants of the Song family, my uncle's family endured humiliation and heavy burdens for Songzhuang and worked hard for many years.
, My eldest brother and I always keep it in our hearts.”
"Master, please take your seat." Song Jian stood up and respectfully asked Song Yi to take the seat, but Song Yi repeatedly declined, "This place is not the best place in the village. Besides, my uncle's seniority is here, so we should not be polite.
The last time I came here on the orders of my aunt, I was going to the Beizhu Palace to deliver a letter and tell us about our expulsion of Xiao Qiong."
Song Jian nodded repeatedly as he listened, "Xiao Qiong's position as city lord was unjust. If his mother hadn't stolen the Wuwang Stone from our Song family, General Zhu would not have let him become the city lord. Now this matter has been resolved.
Over the past many years, Xiao Qiong has fallen out of favor. Judging from the information I have received, Zhuguo Mansion should have known about this matter more than half a month ago, but so far there has been no clear statement, not even Xiao Qiong himself.
Report it to Zhuguo Mansion, so this matter is still in custody."
"That's strange. Why didn't even Xiao Qiong come to Zhuguo Mansion to report?" Song Yi became more and more puzzled after hearing this. With Xiao Qiong's character, he was by no means the kind of person who was willing to be expelled, but now he could only rely on
Is there any other way Zhu Guofu can save the situation?
"In addition." Song Jian saw Song Yi's worried face, and he continued: "Beizhu Palace seems to have been looking for someone in the past two years. It is said that even the Divine Sword Guards have been sent out. This may be because they ignored Xiao Qiong.
One of the reasons.”
"Looking for someone?" Song Yi patted his thigh gently, "With the strength of Beizhu Palace, it's not easy to find someone?"
"Hey, Master, you don't know something." Song Jian sighed softly, "The North Pillar Palace is also riddled with holes, and the Dark Palace in the Western Region has been trying to move in recent years. The generals of the Zhu Kingdom are worried day and night, and the royal family in the south is also worried because of this.
There was a estrangement between them and Zhuguo Mansion twenty years ago, and now they are even more at odds with each other. Dongzhu State took the opportunity to curry favor with the current prince and made all kinds of slanderous remarks in front of the Holy King." Speaking of this, Song Jian sighed repeatedly, "Today's Beizhu State
The national government has entered a troubled period."
"Then who are they looking for?" Song Yi asked curiously, unexpectedly that even Beizhu Palace was facing pressure from different aspects.
Song Jian shook his head, "I don't know the details. This matter is confidential. I only heard that it is related to an incident that happened twenty years ago, and it is also related to the bloodline of the royal family."
"What happened in twenty years?"
"Well, I can't say." Song Jian smacked his lips, "But it must not be an ordinary thing. It is said that Beizhu Palace almost broke away from Dongjing Country back then. It is unknown why."
"So that's it." It seems that the Song family is far away in northern Xinjiang and is still ignorant of many news, but it is not his turn to care about these things. "Then now do you think that if I go directly to the Zhuguo Mansion to report the news, the Zhuguo will pursue us Song
How likely is it to have a home?”
"Well..." Song Jian pondered for a moment, "I'm not sure at the moment, so why not come back tomorrow morning and hear my news?"
Song Yi looked at Chen Su, who nodded slightly, and it would be best to let Song Jian do some research first. When Song Yi saw that Chen Su had the same idea as his, he turned to look at Song Jian, "That's it.
, let uncle do the hard work."
Song Jian smiled kindly and said, "The owner of the village is serious." After saying that, his eyes also fell on Chen Su, "I wonder who this little brother is?" Chen Su quickly stood up and called Song Yi his second uncle, then
Isn't Song Jian his grandfather? Thinking of this, he felt his scalp numb and he chuckled: "Junior Chen Su, I offended you just now, I hope you can forgive me."
"Chen Su?" Song Jian was stunned at first, then blurted out "So your surname is not Song?" and then the three of them laughed.
