Chen Mo drank a bowl of tea. The woman waiting behind him immediately prepared to pour a bowl for Chen Mo. Chen Mo pressed the tea bowl with his hand and said: "A group of guys who kill people and set fire, drink tea here and pretend to be scholars. They are unknowingly hypocritical."
?”
When Chen Mo said one sentence, those people who had their hands on or holding tea bowls stopped what they were doing, and they didn't know what they were thinking at this time.
"Beauty, do you have any wine?" Chen Mo tilted his head back and hooked one hand on the woman's chin, which was slightly lowered, with a cold and rogue look.
The woman was startled by his bold move and hurriedly avoided it. It wasn't that she was being reserved, but that the other person's behavior was very scary in this situation.
Chen Mo just touched the other person's chin and was dodged. He didn't show any signs of anger or regret. He crossed his legs, tilted his head slightly, tilted his chair, and held his head with both hands, looking carefree.
"It would be a pity if there was no wine."
"Bah bang bang", at this time, there was applause in the hall, and a figure came down from upstairs with a smile on his face.
When the few people in the hall saw this person coming down, they all stood up to greet him. Only Chen Mo still looked like he had nothing to do with himself.
Those people were about to scold Chen Mo, but were stopped by the person who arrived.
The man was not very tall, a head shorter than Chen Mo, but he had an aura that was out of proportion to his height. Those people all treated him with respect.
The man sat down at the head of the table, and the others followed suit. The man glanced at the manatee, which had been without an arm for a day. He didn't ask for a reason, nor did he offer any comfort. He just glanced at it.
"Since this little brother doesn't like drinking tea, Jiaojiao, go get one and give it to the little brother." The man said to the woman behind Chen Mo.
"So your name is Jiao Jiao, please don't put love potion in the wine bottle, otherwise I won't be able to control it." Chen Mo raised his head and looked at the woman named Jiao Jiao.
Those people looked a little unhappy when they saw that there was something in Chen Mo's words, but their island owner didn't say anything and they didn't dare to overstep.
The woman said nothing and followed the man's instructions to get Chen Mo wine.
"I am the owner of Red Dragon Island, the Eight-foot Dragon King. I wonder what I call the deputy leader of the Yuzhong Hall?" The Eight-foot Dragon King put his hands on the table, crossed his fingers, dragged his head, and looked at Chen Mo,
asked.
"The surname is Chen, but the given name is not meaningful." Chen Mo said his surname but did not register.
"Brother Chen, he has done this at such a young age and has a bright future."
"Don't say so many polite words. The purpose of my coming here must be within the scope of your information. Otherwise, how could your subordinates readily agree to my request to come." Chen Mo straightened his sitting posture slightly.
, his fingers gently caressed the edge of the empty tea bowl.
"Little brother, you are always direct when speaking. Then why do we, Chilong Island, give you such generous terms?" The Eight-foot Dragon King also did not argue with Chen Moji.
"What we want is cooperation. We are not just a watchdog on Chilong Island. We don't need your charity. Since it is cooperation, 50-50 is not too much." Chen Mo said lightly.
"Bah, you are a small force and you still want to be on an equal footing with us. Letting you be a watchdog is already looking up to you. There are so many wild dogs in Sendai County, and one missing you is a big deal." The Eight-foot Dragon King started his hand.
One of the men said.
"Indeed, compared with you, it is simply not worth mentioning. Don't you know that there are a lot fewer wild dogs in Sendai County. As long as we at Yuzhongtang are willing, there will be even fewer wild dogs. Don't doubt our strength."
Chen Mo didn't understand what the other party was saying, so he said again: "So you have other options?"
"You know that being so arrogant will lead to death." Another man snorted and said: "Don't be greedy and just accept it when it's good. 30% of the profit can already make you happy and drink spicy food."
"
"In this case, let's break up." Chen Mo said nonchalantly.
Those few people didn't expect that this guy named Chen would be so straightforward. If he exchanged 30% of the benefits for the former Heishui Village or the village that he cooperated with before, he would have to pay tribute to his mother. It would be better for this guy to just throw it away without any fuss.
"Breaking up in two pieces? What you said is easy. The most we lose is these things. Listen, these are not things we can't let go of. On the contrary, you Yuzhongtang lost it because of your stupidity.
I think the powerful deputy hall master, without such a big help like you, it’s hard to say what the Yuzhong Hall will be like.”
"Ahem, first of all, if you scare people, you will have no problem dealing with the people of Heishui Village." Chen Mo, who was threatened, said calmly: "Second, are you sure you can't let go? Those officials will not be like that then.
think."
Chen Mo paused for a while and continued: "The price for killing me is not small."
At this time, Manatee said to the Eight-foot Dragon King over there: "My sister, the owner of the island, is still in their hands. You can't just die without saving her. The conch has helped you a lot over the years. There is no credit but hard work."
"
Several people fell silent. Judging from their reactions, this conch was quite popular on Chilong Island.
The Eight-foot Dragon King, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
"Deputy Hall Master Chen, he is well versed in this at a young age. He must have an extraordinary background."
As soon as these words came out, several people around him became alert instantly.
"What? You suspect that I am from the imperial court?" At this time, Chen Mo took the wine from the hand of Jiao Jiao who had returned, opened the lid with a "pop", and poured wine into his own bowl.
"Give us a reason not to doubt." The Eight-foot Dragon King narrowed his eyes and said.
"I can't give it." After Chen Mo said that, he slowly tasted the wine from Chilong Island by himself. He didn't know if it was stolen from other places. It should be that there is a shortage of rice here, so there is no surplus.
Brewing.
"Then we will have to treat you as a member of the government." The Eight-foot Dragon King said coldly.
The two men in the lower position suddenly rushed to Chen Mo. The speed was only in the blink of an eye. One appeared beside Chen Mo and the other appeared directly in front of Chen Mo.
Chen Mo's eyes narrowed, he let go of the hand holding the wine bowl, made a fist and struck out, hitting one of the claws of the person in front of him, and used the other hand to block something to defend the person beside him. M.
With a "bang", Chen Mo was knocked away, flew out of the door, made a beautiful turn in mid-air, and then landed. At the same time, the two people also chased out, flanking Chen Mo on the left and right.
Mo, but there was a third figure following out. As soon as Chen Mo stood firm, that person appeared above Chen Mo.
"The dragon swings its tail!"
He swept his leg down and kicked Chen Mo in the head.
Chen Mo hurriedly crossed his hands on his head to block the kick.
There was a muffled "bang" sound, and Chen Mo's feet sank into the stone ground. One or two feet were the center, and cracks a foot deep appeared, but the scope was not very large.
Chen Mo pushed hard and pushed the man away.
The third person was the Eight-foot Dragon King. His short figure spun around a few times in mid-air, and with a click, he stood on the steps at the door, with his hands behind his back, looking calm and contented.
Chen Mo slowly let go of his hands and looked at the man who claimed to be the Eight-foot Dragon King with slightly angry eyes. He did not wipe away the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth and nostrils, and took a few deep breaths.
"It's so strange that you can actually take my kick." The Eight-foot Dragon King said. "It seems that Manatee's loss to you is not unfair."
When the person kicked him, Chen Mo planned to reveal a little bit of his true energy, but gave up. Instead, he hid his aura even more. In a hurry, he resisted the person's kick. At that moment, his body's instinct felt the opponent's kick.
The power of perception penetrates his whole body, which is clearly testing himself.
After Chen Mo regained his breath, he pulled out his legs, wiped off the blood stains on his face, and said slowly: "How about it, can I be able to catch your eye with my strength? Do I, the Yuzhongtang, have the qualifications to win those five
profit?"
"Forty percent," said the Eight-foot Dragon King.
"Forty makes forty percent. If I persist, the island owner will probably throw me into the sea to feed the fish." This time Chen Mo did not insist on the original conditions.
"Oh? It seems that you have thought about the final answer before coming here." The Eight-foot Dragon King glanced at Chen Mo.
"Yes, originally I could accept 30%, but I still want more. People's hearts are always insufficient. I think 40% is the limit for the island owner."
"Your guessing skills are amazing." The Eight-foot Dragon King praised.
"After being a bandit for more than ten years, some things can still be estimated." Chen Mo stood up straight and patted the dust that was not there.
"Oh? May I ask which force has infiltrated into Sendai County?" The Eight-foot Dragon King said this, and his mind quickly thought about which force in the coastal area had begun to show its ambitions.
"Don't guess. I'm not from the Tang Dynasty. I might as well say it clearly. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I used to go to Black Tiger Mountain in the Chu State. I came here to find another job. So I am familiar with the road of banditry."
.”
Chen Mo said something, and then said: "Now that the matter between us is finalized, I don't want to stay here anymore. Let someone take me back."
"Are you the remnant of Black Tiger Mountain?" The Eight-foot Dragon King stared at Chen Mo again. If what he said was true, then many things would make sense.
"It seems you have heard of Black Tiger Mountain."
“I’ve been to Chu State before and heard a little bit about it.”
He must have heard more than a little bit about it, but Chen Mo didn't care, it didn't affect his plan.
"Then, farewell everyone." Chen Mo bowed his hands to the Eight-foot Dragon King.
"etc."
"Come again?"
"I can give you 50% of the profit." The Eight-foot Dragon King changed his mind and said.
Chen Mo chuckled: I took the bait.
"Oh? What are the conditions?" Of course Chen Mo would not think that Heihushan's previous status would make him increase the price.
"It said inside that I would like to give Brother Chen a bottle of wine to calm his shock." With that said, the Eight-foot Dragon King walked towards the room.
