Shooting out a ray of purple fire, Xiao Chen burned the corpse on the ground to ashes, then went into the room to pack his things, and immediately left the small courtyard.
Early the next morning, Xiao Chen came out of a remote inn, wearing a black cloak that shrouded his whole body in black shadow, and walked slowly towards Liushang Pavilion.
Xiao Chen's dressing up was not unusual among warriors, so when he walked into Liushang Pavilion, he did not attract anyone's attention.
After finding a random table and sitting down, Xiao Chen called the waiter over and said, "Call your boss over and tell him if you have any business."
The waiter in the shop looked at Xiao Chen and thought it was a little funny. Can anyone meet the boss of Liushang Pavilion
"Sorry, sir, I think you may not understand our rules."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, took out a five hundred tael silver note, and then took out a wooden carving, handed it to the waiter and said: "Do me a favor, run out, your boss will not blame you when he sees this wood carving. ”
The waiter took the banknote and handed it into his arms with a smile on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, you are so cheerful. I'll go right away, but I can't say whether the boss will see you or not."
Xiao Chen held the teacup on the table in his hand, took a sip gently, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you can just inform me. I won't blame you if it succeeds."
Not long after the waiter left, Jin Dabao's footsteps could be heard on the second floor. When he saw Xiao Chen's dress, he was stunned for a moment, then ran over with a smile, "Brother Xiao, why are you dressed like this? Are you going to run away? If you want to run away, you can come to me. I have the connections. Just tell me where you want to go. "
Xiao Chen didn't say anything. His right hand that was holding the teacup suddenly took out the wood carving in the fat man's hand with a swipe, put the wood carving down, and then calmly caught the slowly falling tea cup.
Jin Dabao's eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he looked at Xiao Chen carefully. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Chen's attack to be so fast, and he actually lost his position due to his carelessness.
Xiao Chen put down the tea cup and said calmly: "Brother Dabao, I don't want you to worry about running away. Today we are just talking about business. I am a cheerful person. I just ask you if you can do it."
A smile bloomed on Jin Dabao's face again. Said: "Do it, why not do it."
Xiao Chen said: "Then let's talk about the specific plan. I won't be carving the wood carvings you saw last time. The wood carvings you want to cooperate with are the ones you just saw."
Fatty Jin frowned and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Xiao, the price difference between these two wood carvings, with clothes and without clothes, is not double or triple."
"Then there's nothing I can do. I have my own bottom line. I won't sell the statue of Princess Yingyue wearing a bra last time. I'll say goodbye." Xiao Chen got up and walked out.
Fatty Jin quickly stood up and pulled Xiao Chen, smiling and saying: "Brother Xiao, don't be so hasty? Did I say I won't do it? It's just that the price needs to be discussed. Sit down and talk, sit down and talk."
Xiao Chen secretly smiled in his heart. He had already expected that the fat man would covet this deal, and he was sure that he would not let him leave like this. When dealing with such a person who has so many evil calculations, you can't compare yourself with him. You can only show yourself to be stronger so as not to suffer a disadvantage.
Seeing Xiao Chen sitting down again, Fatty Jin said: "Let's do this, brother Xiao, you are a cheerful person, and I won't tolerate any twists and turns. According to the last plan, you provide the source of goods and I will provide the channels, and then we will do it three to seven. You three and I seven.”
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said: "I don't like this kind of sharing. The money is coming slowly. You can directly ask how much you want to buy a piece of wood carving."
Fatty Jin pondered for a moment and said, "How about a piece of wood carving and a hundred taels of gold."
Xiao Chen was shocked. He didn't expect it to be sold at such an expensive price. One hundred taels of gold was equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver. The cost of this wood carving was almost negligible. This was a much bigger deal than Xiao Chen imagined.
Some of the silver in his hand was obtained from the last auction of Bigu Pills in Linlang Pavilion. Compared with the complexity of refining medicine, Xiao Chen carved wood carvings with ease.
In the Encyclopedia of Cultivation, in the introduction to the technique of pointing objects into weapons, there is a special record of wood carving, and all of Xiao Chen's craftsmanship was passed down from it.
In this world where martial arts is respected, there are not many people who specialize in such side arts. It is not an exaggeration to say that Xiao Chen's craftsmanship is unparalleled in the world.
He originally wanted to reject Fatty Jin's plan, but last night's assassination made people feel a sense of urgency.
The journey of cultivation consumes a lot of money. Not to mention the expensive elixirs, just good armor and soul weapons require a warrior to make great efforts.
Why the children of those wealthy families practice faster than ordinary people? Good elixirs and high-quality equipment are an indispensable reason.
Although Xiao Chen can make money by refining medicine, he still cannot refine high-level elixirs, and refining some medicines also requires a lot of money.
Besides, Xiao Chen will need to refine magic weapons in the future. Good materials require a lot of money, so he is actually very short of money.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was silent, Fatty Jin thought that he thought the price was too low, and said, "Brother Xiao, are you not satisfied with the price? I really don't take advantage of you, so I can't make it higher."
Xiao Chen came back to his senses and said with a smile: "No, I'm just a little surprised. How did you manage to sell this wood carving at such a high price?"
brush!
The golden folding fan in the fat man's hand suddenly unfolded. Xiao Chen knew in his heart that when the fat man unfolded this action, he would start to brag.
Sure enough, the fat man shook his fan vigorously a few times and said with a proud smile: "Brother Xiao, you probably don't know yet, the influence of this princess in the palace and the imperial capital. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a goddess. Not only is she extremely skilled in martial arts. , and also has the appearance of a fairy.”
"Fat Master, I have noticed it very early. I have found someone to write several books for her. It can be said that every man in the imperial capital has one."
"Under the influence of books, various peripheral products have also been produced. I have thought of the idea of this wood carving for a long time, but unfortunately I have never been able to find a suitable craftsman. So as soon as I met Brother Xiao, I felt destined. I've been looking for someone like you for a long time."
Xiao Chen secretly marveled in his heart that this fat man is really a genius in business, he actually thought of such a forward-looking business sales method.
At the end, he suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively: "Brother Dabao, are those novels of yours erotic?"
Fatty Jin smiled awkwardly and said: "This, this, I can't say it is an erotic novel, I can only say it is a fantasy novel with some love elements."
Xiao Chen felt ashamed, knowing that this fat man would not follow the right path, and asked a little worriedly: "Aren't you afraid that the royal family will know about this?"
Fatty Jin smiled obscenely and said, "Don't worry about this at all. The high-ranking official in charge of recovering these books and I are still discussing the details of the novel in private. I am still serializing this. If he confiscates them all, I don’t even have to look at it.”
Xiao Chen had to sincerely admire Fatty's skill now. He handed the wood carvings that used to be in Xiao's house to Fatty Jin and said, "These were carved before. They are not more than a hundred or so. Please give me a price!"
Fatty Jin didn't speak, his fat face was filled with an excited smile. He took the wood carvings in his hands and examined them one by one carefully.
On the fourth floor of Liushang Pavilion, Jiang Muheng and Duan Muqing were sitting alone at a dining table.
Jiang Muheng smiled gracefully and said, "Miss Duanmu, I already made an agreement with that person about the spirit fox yesterday. My servant has already gone to get the goods and will deliver them to you right away."
Duanmu Qing smiled softly and said: "How much did you pay for it? I will pay double the price and I will never let you suffer a loss."
It was rare to see Duanmu Qing smile, and the smile on Jiang Muheng's face became even stronger, saying: "It didn't cost a few small bucks, Miss Duanmu doesn't have to worry about it at all, as long as she likes it."
Duanmu Qing was slightly startled and said with a smile: "That man wanted to sell a heavenly weapon yesterday. Mr. Jiang, weren't you playing some trick?"
Jiang Muheng felt anxious and said sternly: "Miss Duanmu, although my family is somewhat powerful in Baishui City, I never do such things to bully others. What's more, in front of Miss Duanmu, if I want to use any tricks, I won't look down on the Duanmu family. ?"
Duan Muqing felt funny in her heart and said nothing. The two of them continued to wait, but after waiting for a long time, the servant Jiang Muheng mentioned had not arrived yet.
"I think something happened. Let's talk about this another day. I'm leaving first." Duanmu Qing finally lost her patience, got up and walked downstairs.
Jiang Muheng scolded the servant in his heart, threw down a stack of banknotes, and hurriedly chased after him.
"Miss Duanmu, please listen to my explanation." Jiang Muheng chased to the second floor and finally caught up with Duanmu Qing, and said loudly.
Duanmu Qing stopped and said politely: "Mr. Jiang, there is nothing to explain. It is not a big deal. You don't need to take it to heart."
Looking at Duan Muqing's face, Jiang Muheng knew in his heart that something bad had happened, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
At this time, Fatty Jin finally finished inspecting all the hundred wood carvings, put them away with a smile, took out a stack of gold tickets and handed them to Xiao Chen: "Brother Xiao, count them."
Xiao Chen put away the gold ticket directly, stood up and said, "No need to order it. It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. There will be goods later. I'll give it to you."
When he turned around, he happened to catch Jiang Muheng's gaze. Jiang Muheng looked at Xiao Chen, who was wearing a black cloak, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Xiao Chen!"
After the surprise, there was endless anger. Jiang Muheng didn't expect to meet him here again, and walked towards Xiao Chen angrily.
