After some haggling, a brand new bet was made out in full view. Before the northward journey officially started, the atmosphere was already very hot.
Li De was very cautious when it came time to sign and pledge. The young man brought a man named Mu Risheng, who was said to be the fourth son of the Ceylon Territory, and also the most powerful group in the Ceylon Territory except for the eldest son. However, Li De knew that Mu Risheng alone would not be able to afford such a big bet. Know how many participants.
Li De first confirmed Mu Risheng's identity, in order to prevent the other party from randomly sending someone who doesn't know him to come over and sign. After confirming that the person in front of him was indeed Mu Risheng, Li De signed his name on the betting contract with a swipe of a pen. The whole process was very bold and unrestrained, and he looked really drunk and cowardly.
Mu Risheng also signed his name and pressed his fingerprints. Both parties got a bet contract. Li De asked Mu Risheng with his tongue open:
"Why do you give them the lead?"
Mu Risheng replied cautiously:
"Lord Yunyang promised to give Ceylon more things."
Lied nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Alaya took Lide back by the arm, and after he left, the young man who had come to fool Lide into a bet immediately grabbed Mu Risheng's shoulder and said with a smile:
"Congratulations in advance, this business is done, and if you perform well in Lingwu, the prince of Ceylon may change hands directly after returning. After all, Ceylon has a lot of internal and external troubles now, and needs to be like you The Lord of Ceylon will not understand that such a smart person came to power to set things right."
Mu Risheng nodded, took the bet close to him, and said lightly:
"It's a young man after all, and he can't hold back his temper after a few provocative words. It's his first time to travel north, and we are not. We definitely know more about the intelligence outside the Great Wall than he does. Where is the hard bone, where is the soft Persimmon, we all took countless lives to test it out. For a newcomer like him, there will be no other results except for a broken head. Besides, where is there any army in Yuxi City for him to bring? There are thousands of soldiers under my command!"
The young man took it for granted, and said with a smile:
"We have checked his details. When Lide was in Yunyang, he was an ignorant son. He often ran amok in Lingyun City, relying on his identity as Yunyang son to do things wrong. Although he changed after arriving in Yuxi City, but There are people like He Yue and Fang Shisan who are also admonishing and restraining him. Now that he has come to the north alone, and he is drunk like mud, of course he will completely expose his true nature."
Mu Risheng looked at the back of Lide leaving, heaved a sigh of relief, and said with emotion:
"So how do you say that a person's upbringing is very important. A child who is raised in a free range will be a wild way no matter where he goes. The most feared thing in this world is that he thinks too highly of himself. Yuxi City fought a few times He won the battle, but if he really thought it was his own credit, he would be very wrong. Fang Shisan has never lost a foreign war without making mistakes in his internal affairs, so it has nothing to do with him."
The young man smiled slightly, removed the arm hooking Mu Risheng's neck, arched his hands, and said:
"After the matter is completed, the reward promised by Duke Huai's territory will definitely not be less than a copper coin."
Mu Risheng said lightly:
"I believe in your reputation, and even more in your son's desire to avenge Lide. But I advise you not to think about using Ceylon as a knife, Ceylon will only act according to his own will."
The young man smiled slightly and said:
"I know, but at least for now, we have the same interests. So... pleasant cooperation?"
"Pleasant cooperation."
The young man stretched out his hand to Mu Risheng, and Mu Risheng shook it briefly.
…
As soon as he returned to the room, Lid immediately became full of energy from the drunken state just now, and asked Alaya to throw the bet just received on the bottom of the suitcase and put it away, so that it must not be lost. Regardless of what the outside world thinks, this thing is a check that can be used in the future in Lide's eyes. If the 4,000 horses and 20,000 gold coins can be obtained smoothly, the burden on Fang Shisan and He Yue's shoulders will be much easier.
The benefits should be based on what you can get in your hands, and Lide didn't take it seriously when he was verbally ridiculed for this.
After signing the bet, all the forces that were targeting him both openly and secretly sank again from the surface of the water. Lide comfortably held Alaya and Shilo in his arms and slept late for three days. On the fourth day, Bai Ye took the initiative to visit , told Li De that it was his turn to enter Lingwu with Lily of the Valley, and came here to say goodbye to Li De.
"Lingwu is very ruthless this year. I heard that two Anbu members who tried to sneak into Lingwu were arrested two days ago, and their master broke their legs together. The lord of Lingwu never gave anyone face. It's gotten tougher this year."
Bai Ye told Li De what he knew.
Suzuran added:
"After all, the iron wall in the north and the legendary decisive weapon have already entered the finishing work. If the giants can be completely stopped from going south, the Lingwu Lord will have enough troops to invest in the internal battlefield of Eternal Heaven. She doesn't have to fight with anyone anymore. polite."
Bai Ye patted Lide on the shoulder and said:
"Although I know there is no suspicious person around you, but be careful."
Lily of the Valley smiled, rubbing Lid's head with one hand, and Alaya's head with the other, and said:
"This year, that person deserved what he deserved. I heard that last year, there was a pretty innocent guy who had a sudden kindness on the side of the road and planned to take a woman who was said to be in exile from Lingwu back to reunite with her family. It turned out that Lingwu found out that woman He was a member of Anbu from another family, and the one who was kind enough to help was also broken. Lingwu’s method of punishment is not simply a broken bone, it will also break the tendons. If there is no special opportunity, it will be useless for a lifetime. Yes. You have to be careful, especially Alaya, you have to watch your young master not to be deceived by women, the more beautiful women in this world, the more deceitful they are."
Alaya nodded upon hearing that.
Li De also nodded his head, taking advantage of the opportunity to break free from Ling Lan's clutches, and Ling Lan herself was dragged away by Bai Ye.
It seems that there are many things that try to sneak into Lingwu every year, and those who haven't entered yet are willing to talk about the news they know in the Rejecting North Inn. So that night, Lied just drank in the corner of the lobby and could hear all kinds of information for free.
Most of them are boring, only one is quite new and interesting.
It said that there were two suspicious people from the south, knowing that it was not easy to sneak into the Lingwu lord, so they specially bribed a small leader of the Lingwu Yinwei, and planned to sneak into the Lingwu territory with his help. Unexpectedly, the little boss did a lot of similar things, which had already aroused the suspicion of Yinwei. This time, the two parties were caught on the spot in the middle of the transaction. There was also a person on the side who was seriously injured. Although he escaped by chance, he probably wouldn't be able to run very far for a while.
At present, Lingwu has dispatched a large number of troops and Anbu members to conduct a blanket search, and at the same time offered high rewards to these two guys. It is said that even if they only provide information, they can get a lot of rewards.
