When you close your eyes with the flying snow all over the sky, you may not be able to see things very clearly even in front of you.
Xia Shang froze for a moment when he opened the curtain, then turned around and said, "You all go back, it seems I have to go out."
Yazhi wiped the snowflakes that fell on her eyelashes, and immediately became unhappy after hearing Xia Shang's words. She thought to herself that she must be hanging out with the fox in the car, how could anything good happen.
But Xia Shang didn't ask for other people's opinions, he just got in the car after speaking.
Xia Shang got on the carriage and the carriage started quickly, leaving a deep trace in the thick snow.
This carriage is relatively large, especially for two people sitting opposite each other.
It was wrapped so tightly inside that I couldn't feel the flying snow outside at all. Instead, there was a gloominess that made the atmosphere feel stuffy.
Guang Xie had met Xia Shang two or three times, but he didn't have a good look on him during the two or three times he met.
This time is no exception, even more gloomy and cold than before. The small scars under the beard on the face are intertwined like spider webs. From such a close distance, you can see clearly, and at the same time, you can feel Guangxie even more.
This person's anger.
Neither of them spoke. It wasn't until Che Jiao had left the street where Xia Mansion was located that Guang Xie spoke in a low voice: "What? You don't even have a question? You don't want to know where this is taking you?"
Xia Shang shrugged: "Why bother asking when you will know the answer sooner or later?"
Guang Xie half-closed his eyes and the corners of his eyes twitched strangely, as if he wanted to guess what Xia Shang was thinking.
It's a pity that Xia Shang is far more experienced in terms of psychological quality and observation of words than the big-brained person in front of him. It is obviously impossible to see through Xia Shang.
There was no further talk along the way. Xia Shang didn't know where he was being taken. He just felt that it was very clean outside when he parked the car. He must have been outside the city.
Before getting off the bus, Xia Shang was put on a hood and escorted to an abandoned house.
When Xia Shang could see the scenery again, Guang Xie and several other unknown people appeared in front of him.
Although they don't know each other, these people have a very obvious chilling aura, which is exactly the same as Guang Xie.
This kind of momentum is different from ordinary people in the martial arts world. Xia Shang has never encountered it before.
Among all kinds of people Xia Shang met, the ones he had never met before were soldiers and soldiers.
Therefore, Xia and Shang judged that these people had experienced war, and because they were relatively old, it at least meant that they had experienced it.
"Okay, now we can talk." Guang Xie sat down in front of Xia Shang without ceremony.
"What to talk about?"
"Tell me about what you have done for the princess these years."
"Um?"
"Time passes day by day, and the old emperor's time is getting less and less, but now the power the princess has is far from enough to compete with the other two princes. And you are highly valued by the princess, but you have not done anything.
This is something that makes me think you are capable. At this time, you should also give the princess a satisfactory answer."
"What do you want to say?"
"silver!"
"I heard that you have nearly two million taels of silver!"
Xia Shang frowned slightly: "How did you find out?"
"You don't need to know! But now I tell you clearly that the princess needs money now! She needs a lot of money!"
"Why you and not the princess?"
"How noble is the princess? It is natural for men like us to do such disgraceful things. Today, you must give me an explanation. As long as you agree to prepare two million taels of silver for me, I will treat you as you are.
Send it back, otherwise... Master Xia might not be able to see the sun the next day!"
"Two million taels? You have such a big appetite? Can you eat it?"
"Little brat, do you think we are playing house now? The princess's plan is to achieve eternal supremacy, and it cannot be achieved by relying on cleverness. If you want to become more than ten thousand people, you must have your own army! Why?
Prince Li Xin’s position is so stable now? Why is everyone in the world afraid of him? It’s not because of his relationship with the military! If you want to fight them, how can you do it without your own army? Do you think two million is a lot? For an army
As far as the army is concerned, two million is not enough!"
"Do you think this is robbery?"
"Whether it counts as robbery depends on your performance!"
Xia Shang was not too surprised. It could be said that everything was expected.
Xia Shang expected that someone would come to ask for money from him on behalf of King Yong, but he did not expect that it would be this way.
The money that Yazhi was asked to go to the bank to withdraw was for King Yong. This was a debt that could not be avoided.
Because Xia Shang had a vague attitude when facing everyone, and always wanted to be more stable in the struggle between forces in the capital, leaving a way out for each force.
Although this method can ensure temporary peace, it will never lead to eternal peace.
Now is the time when some people lose their patience. Xia Shang has to pay for his hesitation, so the money should be paid, and Xia Shang has been mentally prepared for it.
Xia Shang remembers a saying that any problem that money can solve is not a big problem.
So Xia Shang is willing to give up money, but this does not mean that Xia Shang is willing to be bullied like this.
"Money can be paid, but the two million silver is not given just as it is said to be. You also know that if you ask an ordinary businessman for two million, if there is not a good enough exchange condition, you will not give it even if you risk your life.
I must be able to promise you."
"Exchange conditions? What do you want?"
"First of all, please be more polite to me in the future. Even the princess has never been so rude to me."
Guangxie was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Okay, okay, this is easy. Mr. Xia Shang, as long as you promise to give us financial support in the future, we will be a family from now on."
"Second, your people are also responsible for the safety of my family. No matter who it is or where it is, as long as there is a problem with my family, I will only ask you."
Guang Xie nodded: "This matter is easy."
"Third, two million taels of silver are exchanged for two pieces of the top twelve waist medals."
Hearing this condition, Guangxie frowned: "Master Xia, I think you are pushing your limit."
"This is not pushing the envelope. You said before, Princess, what I am planning is not trivial. You doubt my ability, and I also doubt your ability. If you can't even get the first belt of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, what else can you do?
What ability do you have to fight for the world?"
Even though Guang Xie is such a arrogant person, he can't help but frown when he thinks about the task of pursuing the first belt of our twelve divisions. He knows very well how difficult it will be...
"What? Is there anything in the world that can make you so troublesome?"
Guangxie gritted his teeth: "The reason why I hesitate is that I am responsible for my promise! As long as I promise, you will definitely find a way to complete it. I know that you are now the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but you have no idea about the remaining twelve divisions.
Who controls the first position, and what kind of threat does a little brat like you know about it?"
"You talkative little brat, it seems you are still dissatisfied with me. Why don't we make a bet, you go and find me the first rank of the Twelve Divisions, and I, King Fuyong, will sit on the throne of the crown prince!" (To be continued!)
