Chapter 12 Negotiation

This afternoon, after lunch, Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie wandered around Xuzhou City, but they did not see anything serious.

At Youshi, the two of them returned to the inn, just like yesterday evening. They each stayed in the room for a long time, probably washing up or something; an hour later, it got dark, and the two of them People came out dressed brightly again, ready to run to the brothel.

The informants sent by the concubine to keep an eye on them have been following them since they left the inn. They can't see anything abnormal, or rather... there is no abnormality, which is an abnormality in itself.

So what did the spies miss?

I missed the inn itself...

Sun and Huang really did not do anything serious outside this afternoon, but Huang Donglai had quietly given instructions to the inn before leaving. One of the guys went to help him get the job done.

While they were wandering around, the inn clerk went to the drugstore in the city to buy a bunch of medicinal materials and delivered them to Huang Donglai's guest room; the following people didn't know about this. , because they were all running outside with Sun Huang and no one was left watching at the inn.

Of course, even if you keep it, it’s actually of no use.

The medicinal materials Huang Donglai asked the guy to buy were all very common things. He bought more than twenty kinds in total, and the quantities were quite large. The total amount of them added up to a lot.

But in fact, the poison he wanted to prepare required only nine kinds of medicinal materials in addition to the several materials he carried in his luggage; and the reason why he made people The main reason for buying so many kinds and quantities of medicinal materials was to conceal his formula.

This skill is based on Huangmen’s experience, and it is also a little secret known to many masters of poisoning and even medicine in the martial arts - when you are away from home, be prepared to purchase materials locally to prepare some relatively confidential medicines. When making a secret recipe, it is best to buy several or even a dozen extra irrelevant ingredients. Don’t buy just the right amount, but buy a little more. When you start to prepare the recipe, in addition to the ingredients you need to use, you also need to buy those that are not needed. Use up some of the materials you get... In this way, even an expert can't reversely deduce your recipe by tracing the type, quantity, and remaining quantity of the materials you bought.

To take it a step further, when it comes to "poisoning", with this method, even if someone comes to search your house afterwards and finds such a large amount of medicinal materials, they will not be able to use these materials as evidence. Testify that what you are mixing is poison.

Now, Huang Donglai used this routine. During the hour of "bathing and changing clothes", he took part of the time to prepare all the medicines to be used tonight, and then he and Sun Yi Xie left the inn together.

Just after Xu Shi, the two of them arrived at Qiliu Youlan.

This time, the madam’s attitude towards them... was different.

Because Huang Donglai rejected the proposal of the concubine's "friend" yesterday, the madam will not show any good looks to them today.

Just with two peopleAs soon as they met, the old madam said something strange: "Hey, here we come~" She squinted her eyes and looked up high, and muttered as if she was talking to the sky, "Hey, what are you going to do today? "Why...why is there an evil wind blowing? It turns out that some ignorant person insists on coming to the door."

Huang Donglai didn't talk nonsense to him and responded in a very serious tone: "We are here." I have something to do and I want to see my concubine. I hope you can let me know."

The old bustard did not expect that the other party would make such a request so straightforwardly. After hearing this, her expression changed slightly and she finally looked at the two of them. , but her tone was still unkind: "Is my concubine someone you can meet whenever you want? Who do you think you are?"

She originally wanted to make things difficult and humiliate these two people, but who knew...

"Oh?" Sun Yixie laughed when he heard this, and immediately retorted, "Is this a guest that you can refuse on your own if you want to? Who do you think you are? Huh?" When he said this, he raised his voice specially, "Your place is strange. The dog makes the decision for the owner, right?"

Everyone comes to Qiliu Youlan. He is a decent person, and there are not many professional scolders like Sun Yixie who were trained in the fish market. Over the years, the most common people this madam has encountered are people who scolded her with a few swear words. She is used to it, but someone like this is tricky. It was rare to ridicule her in return, but the key words really caught her, making her tremble with anger and unable to speak back.

"Sun! Don't push yourself too far!" The madam still had a temper and was still saying harsh words, "Don't think that just because I look at you so highly, you are confident!"

"Isn't that right?" Huang Donglai also looked around seriously, but did not look at the old bustard, "How about we go back, and if the concubine asks about it in the future, we will tell him that we came to see him, but he was beaten by a dog. Bark away."

After that, the two turned around and headed out.

The madam was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but she was helpless. In the end, she had to lower her face and beg the two people not to leave.

"You two, please stay..." At this moment, a strange man suddenly appeared from outside the gate and stood in front of Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai. He was able to relieve the old bustard at the right time. They gathered around and said, "My uncle, I would like to invite you two to go upstairs for a chat... Please come this way."

Shuangxie knew that this man was one of the spies who followed them during the day. When he appeared, the two of them were shocked. Not surprised either.

After hearing this, the two of them looked at each other, shrugged, then turned back and walked upstairs in a swagger; when they passed by the madam, they didn't even look at her.

The old bustard was so angry with them that it took a long time to recover; now she has learned the lesson. If you are allowed to rely on the strength of others, you should allow others to pretend to be powerful. Sometimes high martial arts is of no use, and aquatic martial arts are high enough. Already? Aren't you here to be a turtle slave? The lackey doesn't moveBrain, he will be a lackey all his life.

At the same time, in the concubine’s room.

My concubine, I have been sitting in the room waiting for Shuangxi for a long time.

He knew that these two people would come again tonight. Even if no one overheard what Chu Xue and Sun Yixie said, he could still guess to a reasonable degree by guessing.

"Master, they have gone upstairs." At this moment, in the darkness, a man's voice suddenly sounded and said something to the concubine.

"Yes." The concubine nodded and replied in a deep voice, "Everything is going according to plan."

…………

In a short while, Sun The two of them were already sitting at the same table with the concubine.

It was the concubine who spoke first: "You two are here today, but do you have anything to ask me for?"

"Ha..." Sun Yixie sneered, "Concubine, what are you doing? It's just a matter of words. Ask your 'friend' to do something, what else can you ask for?"

"What? We are friends again now?" The concubine asked, "Yesterday, Mr. Huang made it clear. You rejected the proposal I made as a friend, and today... you two went back on your word?"

Huang Donglai shook his head and continued: "My uncle, this is wrong. Rejecting a proposal is not a good idea. It means rejecting someone...'Friends', anything can be discussed. You have your suggestions, and we have ours. Let's exchange them."

"Oh..." Shu. I took a sip of the wine in the glass and continued calmly, "Then tell me, what is your proposal?"

"Destroy the Guangxing Escort Bureau, that's It's definitely inappropriate." Sun Yixi said.

"But it will definitely not work if our brother Buji takes the blame for Zheng Mu's murder." Huang Donglai said.

"It's not good to push Shui Sheng out." Sun Yixi said.

"So in our opinion, otherwise..." Huang Donglai said, "The responsibility of killing Zheng Mukai will be shouldered by you, right?"

He The two of them kept talking to each other, and the more they talked, the more they went overboard. Finally, they actually made such a request in front of the other party.

But the concubine did not get angry, but replied calmly: "Then...how can I handle it?"

Sun Yixie replied: "Anyway Zheng Mukai's death was because he secretly entered Qiliu Netherworld with the intention of misbehaving against Miss Chuxue. That Shuisheng... after all, he was also your concubine. Why don't you just take advantage of the situation and clarify the matter with Zhu Jiaduan, but don't mention it. If Shui Sheng did it, just say that you 'asked your subordinates to do it.' Wouldn't that be the end of it?"

His words were tantamount to making public what he already knew about the case. , this is also what the concubine expected.

"How do you explain the two gangsters who died in the Chengxi Inn?" The concubine still replied in a calm tone, "Did I just say that I wanted to eradicate the weeds?"

"Yes." Huang Donglai responded at this time, "You can also say that not only do you want to eradicate the roots, but you also want to marry Zheng Mukai because you heard about his previous conflict with us.It's a disaster for us, so we can explain the moving of his body and the beating of the body with random fists. ”

“Yeah. "The concubine nodded, "In other words, I take responsibility for both Shui Sheng's things and my own things. He paused, "In this case, Zhu Jiaduan will no longer come to settle accounts with Lei Buji or Shui Sheng, but will come to me." ”

“That’s right. "Sun Yixi said, "When the time comes, I just need to show my strength to Zhu, and give him some compensation, so that he can have a step to go down..."

Huang Dong came to pick him up. After passing Sun Yixie's words, he continued: "After this combination of kindness and power, considering that Zheng Mukai's death was basically deserved, Zhu Jiaduan naturally had no choice but to give up, and then the matter was over. "

"Haha...hahahaha..." When the concubine heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Sun Yixie and Huang Dong came to see him and laughed, and they also laughed. And it was the standard villain laugh, with one wave after another...

The three of them laughed there for a long time. Finally, the uncle stopped first and suddenly asked : "Okay, you have all arranged it clearly for me, so now I have the most critical question to ask you..." He paused, and his tone suddenly became cold, "...why should I help you like this? "

After he finished speaking, Sun and Huang exchanged glances, with the confident smiles still on their faces.

"Master, we are here to drink with you today... ...Is it a coincidence? "Sun Yixie did not answer the other party, but asked a question.

"No. "My uncle doesn't like lying. People like him don't like things that make them feel uncomfortable.

"There must be a reason behind this 'inevitability', right? ? "Huang Donglai asked again.

As soon as he said these two words, the concubine understood that these two people had seen through the plan he had made to lure them to Qiliu Youlan when he was covering up the scene for Shui Sheng.

"You two..." The concubine was silent for a while, intentionally or unintentionally looking at the deserted place next to him, and then replied, "It's more powerful than I thought..."

“Excellent. "Sun Yixi said.

"You're welcome. Huang Donglai said.

The concubine took another sip of wine and continued: "Yes, you have something I want." "

"But the 'proposal' you gave me yesterday was not enough to exchange for that thing. "Huang Donglai answered.

"It's really not enough..." said the concubine, showing an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. "But you can't blame me...yesterday I thought you two were just two fledglings, relying on each other. The kid who broke the Tianqi gang's situation with a little luck. "

"What about today? "Sun Yixie asked.

"Do you want to hear me praise you? "The concubine said.

"Think about it. You tell me and I'll listen. "Sun Yixie is thick-skinned. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.

The concubine smiled: "I said you areDo you mind pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, being a cunning person...? ”

“I don’t mind. " Huang Donglai said, "Besides, we don't mind the proposal you gave yesterday or the surveillance on us today... because we can all understand that if we were in your position, we would probably do the same thing. thing. ”

“Negotiation means that everyone lists out the conditions and talks slowly, which is normal. Sun Yixie added, "Brother Huang just said that anything can be discussed between 'friends', right?" "

"Well, since you two are so open and honest, I will tell you directly. "When the words came to this point, the concubine stopped beating around the bush and said, "As long as you give me the notebook that records Gu Qiying's poison technique, those things you just mentioned... I will take care of them all. Just do it. ”

Now that things have happened, he has finally exposed his flaws.

Although the solution to the “Bliss Gu” is no longer a secret, Gu Qiying’s Gu skills are far more than The Bliss Gu technique, the poison techniques and Gu techniques contained in his notebook are of various types and have endless uses. These are things that cannot be bought with money and are of immeasurable value.

For. This, not to mention the conditions that Sun and Huang just proposed, even if they are a little more exaggerated, I will still agree.

"My hands and eyes are astute, don't you know..." "After a breath, Huang Dong said back and forth, "...Have I already given this note to Jin Yiwei? ”

“I know. "The concubine said, "But Mr. Huang, as the young master of the Huang Clan, during the time this thing was left in your hands...have you ever seen it? Didn't remember it? He smiled, "Ha... I even doubt whether the notebook you gave to Jin Yiwei is true?" "

"Ha... As expected of a concubine, I really can't hide it from you. Sun Yixie suddenly praised the other party at this time.

Huang Donglai also had a similar attitude and smiled: "Okay, I have seen through it, so I won't hide it. The content in the note , I did write down a lot...but those are only in my mind, I did not copy them down; if you want...I can think about it slowly after I go back tonight, and it will take a day or two. , I will make a copy and send it to you, but before that..."

"You want me to finish what you have to do first? "The concubine directly said the last half of what the other party was going to say.

"That's right. "Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai responded in unison.

At this time, the concubine turned his head, pretending to be thinking, and looked at a window on the side of the room. After reading, He replied: "Okay, then let's do it without further delay, tonight... no, do it now!" ”
