"Eight thousand taels?"

Facts have proved that Xuanwu’s previous worries were not redundant, and the bottom line of ten thousand taels of silver he had set in his mind was not randomly concealed.

When Wu Jian heard the number eight thousand taels, he immediately frowned.

"Master Xuanwu, in your heart, is Dongjitian so easy to rebuild? If you only give you eight thousand taels of silver to rebuild Beijitian, I wonder if you have this confidence in your heart?!"

Wu Jian's attitude was a bit bad, and even made Xuanwu sarcastic.

"presumptuous!"

Xuanwu, who was yin and yang by Wu Jian, naturally looked ugly, but he did not immediately vent his dissatisfaction. After all, in the situation where Hongdu Mansion is getting worse, he really needed Wu Jian, a spy who was at least 70% sure to invade the Ning Prince's Mansion, to regain the information of the Ning Prince's Mansion for him.

But the subordinates behind him obviously were not as calm as they could.

Whether they really felt that Xuanwu was insulted by Wu Jian, they were angry or simply because they wanted to show their loyalty to Xuanwu, they immediately showed a stance of wanting to swallow Wu Jian alive, with dangerous light shot out in their eyes, and their hands were already touching their respective weapons. It seemed that as long as Xuanwu gave the order, they would take out their weapons and rush over and remove Wu Jian from eight pieces.

"Ha, Master Wu Xing, I know that Eight Thousands of Taurus want to rebuild the East Ji Tian is indeed a bit short of it, but Eight Thousands of Taurus is no longer a small amount."

Xuanwu, who urgently needed to rely on Wu Jian to sneak into the Ning Prince's Mansion as a spy, naturally would not let his subordinates kill Wu Jian with a command, but he did not stop his subordinates from doing anything, but narrowed his eyes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was filled with dangerous light. The sound was not loud, but he spoke with an extremely clear voice.

"Ha, Lord Xuanwu, when you discussed with me, you fully supported me in the condition of rebuilding Dongjitian, but it was not what I proposed."

Although he felt Xuanwu's unconcealed threat, Wu Jian still looked fearless and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. However, compared to Xuanwu's dangerous smile, his smile was filled with unconcealed mockery.

"Oh, let's not hide it from Lord Wu Xing, these eight thousand taels are already the full strength of the Lord."

Xuanwu, who was mercilessly mocked by Wu Jian again, his face changed several times, but in the end, his face became dark. After sighing, his face revealed the truth to Wu Jian with a strong bitterness.

"Full effort?"

Although the sincerity in Xuanwu's eyes and the bitterness on his face did not seem to be pretending, Wu Jian, who knew that this was an old fox, obviously did not believe Xuanwu's words.

"Ha, Lord Wu Xing thinks that Lord Wu will deceive you?"

Xuanwu's face became more and more bitter. In the face of Wu Jian's doubts, he did not scold or refute.

"Master Wu Xing should also know that because Zhongjitian was destroyed and our Beijitian was implicated, the three loyal dogs under the emperor, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liusanmen, were aimed at us. The nearly two-month inspection and inspection caused heavy losses to Beijitian..."

Xuanwu knew very well that in the face of Wu Jian, who had seen strong winds and waves, and even experienced the prosperity of the East Ji Tian, ​​and was eventually completely wiped out these experiences. No matter how detailed or detailed lies were compiled, there was a great chance that they would be exposed, so he simply exposed the real situation in front of Wu Jian.

"Now the Liangjiang Hall in Hongdu Prefecture has suffered heavy losses. There has been no news in the past ten days. Master Wu Xing, Brother Wu, I have really done my best. For the sake of this 8,000 taels of silver, I have worked hard for the past two days and couldn't sleep well for a moment, but I really couldn't stand it."

"I see."

Wu Jian, who had been observing Xuanwu's expression, did not see any flaws. In addition, he also saw a strong embarrassment, embarrassment, and even anger on the faces of several subordinates behind Xuanwu. He believed that Xuanwu should not have deceived him.

He really could only raise eight thousand taels of silver.

Of course, if he was given a while, he would probably be able to make up more money, at least 10,000 taels would not be able to escape, but by then, maybe even the daylily would be cold.

"I didn't expect that Master Xuanwu was so difficult. It was because I judged the gentleman with the heart of a villain."

"Where is where, Brother Wu didn't know the truth before, so it's normal for him to have such thoughts in his heart."

Seeing that Wu Jian was no longer as aggressive as before, Xuanwu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His approach of revealing his shortness of his image did indeed work.

"Don't worry, Brother Wu, don't worry. In the next few months, Brother Wei will definitely continue to gather money. If you should give it to Brother Wu, Brother Wei will definitely not lose a penny."

However, although Wu Jian seemed to be able to understand his appearance, Xuanwu didn't dare to let it go. He immediately promised Wu Jian that the remaining difference would definitely be made up next.

After all, the only bargaining chip he could help Wu Jian with all his strength was the only thing left for real money and silver. Besides, it was just a few words to make sure he had a verbal promise, and he would not have any loss.

"In this way, I will thank the Lord first."

Wu Jian also thanked Xuanwu sincerely.

But it is obvious that both him and Xuanwu were actually very clear in his heart at this time that the so-called silver that Xuanwu mentioned would definitely not really appear.

Even the eight thousand taels of silver that Xuanwu had already taken out, the final belonging and whereabouts were still unknown.

...

Bai Shier was a little stuffy and helpless.

Before, he had been monitoring the market where Wu Jian was located, hoping that Xuanwu would come to meet Wu Jian again, or send his confidants to lead Wu Jian to meet him, and then let him seize the opportunity and find Xuanwu's trace, but there was no result.

But just this time the emperor summoned him to meet with Mo Bin. He thought about it and finally left for a night, Wu Jian disappeared without a trace...

Moreover, when he was sure of this situation, it was already the next day. He just wanted to follow the code that Wu Jian might have left, and he had lost the opportunity.

The cunning rabbit has three holes, but he would not believe that Xuanwu, who was extremely "cowardly" would really meet Wu Jian in his lair.

So, even if he found the secret codes and marks left by Wu Jian now, and followed these secret codes and found the place, the one he could find was probably just an ordinary place. At most, it would be a stronghold in the North Pole Heaven. If it was destroyed, it would not have much harvest. Instead, it would have caused Wu Jian to doubt it.

Therefore, Bai Shier simply gave up the idea of ​​searching for secret codes and traces.

What made Bai Shier even more depressed was that Wu Jian seemed to have disappeared after being invited by Xuanwu last night. Until the curfew began the next day, his old book shop was still closed with no one in sight.

Such a situation undoubtedly means that Wu Jian and Xuanwu have reached the last step in their cooperation, looking for a third party that can satisfy both parties and entrust the money to the other party.

This means that before everything is completely settled, Wu Jian will not show up again before going to Hongdu Mansion.

After confirming this, Bai Shier regretted the first time why he didn't agree with the suggestions of Mo Bin, Jiang Zong and Guo Ju before, and asked the top masters under them to join in as his helpers to assist him in monitoring Wu Jian's whereabouts.

If he had agreed at that time, when he was summoned by the emperor to meet him, Xuanwu would not have avoided surveillance so "just" and invited Wu Jian away.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine to sell in this world, and in this dynasty where even boiling water is just a simple literal meaning, there will be no such thing as time machine.

Therefore, in addition to complaining that he was too careless, Bai Shier could only search for Wu Jian’s whereabouts in the city as much as possible.

...

However, Bai Shier's extensive search to make up for his mistakes was obviously just a futile self-comfort.

Even if he can transform into thousands of people, he can turn the entire capital into the sky alone, and it is impossible to find Wu Jian's traces.

Because Wu Jian was no longer in the capital at this time.

When Xuanwu took out the bill of 8,000 taels of silver and revealed his shortcomings regardless of his image, Wu Jian finally agreed to immediately carry out the last step of cooperation between the two parties, finding a third party that both parties can trust, and giving the bill of at least 7,000 taels of silver and handing it to the other party.

After that, it was undoubtedly the beginning of cooperation between the two parties. Wu Jian left Shuntian Mansion and headed straight for Hongdu Mansion, trying to sneak into the Ning Prince's Mansion and become Xuanwu's eyeliner.

What Wu Jian didn't expect was that the third party selected by Xuanwu was not in the capital, and he had to leave the capital with Xuanwu to go.

Although he was worried that doing so would attract Bai Shier's suspicion, he had to nod his head to agree when the arrow was on the string at this moment, otherwise it would inevitably attract Xuanwu's suspicion.

After all, as a "newcomer" who has just arrived in the capital for less than half a year and has been joining Beijitian for less than three months, Wu Jian has no relatives and no close friends in the capital. The old book shop he just built has no subordinates, so he doesn't have to say goodbye to anyone or explain anything.

Therefore, he could only pray that Bai Shier could see through Xuanwu's plan before and was still following him.

However, deep in his heart, there was a voice that kept murmuring and constantly bewitching him.

‘This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rid of all control, get rid of all those who use you, get back to freedom, seize it, and be sure to grab it.’

...

The situation is wrong.

Three days later, Bai Shier finally gave up trying to find Wu Jian’s traces, and at the same time, a bad premonition kept arose in his heart.

No matter what happened before, Wu Jian was under his surveillance, so he was not worried that Wu Jian would escape from control, eventually escape, or betray directly.

But now, as time passes little by little, as Wu Jian leaves his control for longer and longer, Bai Shier's confidence is constantly eroding.

This time, I may have messed up!

This thought finally stubbornly squeezed into Bai Shier's mind and took root in his mind. No matter how hard hedged it, it was difficult to get rid of it.

If Wu Jian really took this opportunity to escape from control, he would probably take the opportunity to escape, just like after escaping from Yingtian City before, he would be among the huge number of refugees and beggars.

The world is so big that even hundreds of years later, it can replace the human eyes and brains everywhere, stare at the streets at all times, and record everything that happens. There are still fugitives who can escape for months or even decades. In an era when the power of the government is barely covered by the county town, it is like finding a needle in a haystack if you want to seize a "old fried dough stick" who is determined to escape without any means and suffer any hardship.

At this time, Bai Shier only regretted that he was not a "poison king", "poison saint", and "poison immortal". Otherwise, he would give Wu Jian some "leopard tendons and fetal pills" in advance, and "three corpse brain god pills" and other "bug" poisons that require regular poisoning. Even if he sat still, Wu Jian could come to him obediently.

Unfortunately, even in his grandfather who is well-informed and well-known and claims to have seen all the hidden weapons and poisons in the world, he has never heard of any poison with such a bug.

When he asked out of curiosity, he looked at him with a look of surprise, and then couldn't help laughing.

Obviously, this is regarded as a product of the child's extraordinary imagination.

After laughing enough, he finally became serious again and said to him something that seemed to contain countless storms.

"Compared with poison, there are many things in this world that can manipulate people's hearts and force people's hearts to surrender. Moreover, compared with poison, these things are the most terrifying, because poison will only be forced to surrender, and these things will make you want to surrender from the bottom of your heart."

He was curious, so naturally he would not stop so easily. He heard that there were poisons that were stronger than these "bugs", and he couldn't help asking again, but what he got at that time was just a chuckle and an answer that made him frown.

"I'd better wait until you grow up and look for it yourself. Even if you tell you now, you won't understand."

And now, more than ten years have passed, and he still seems to have not found the answer.

Perhaps this is because he had forgotten these things before and had never thought about looking for the answer. He knew that now, at this moment when he needed it, he finally thought about it.

...

"The news just came from Tianjin."

Just as Bai Shier was having a headache about how to solve this problem, he began to think about the answer, Mo Bin, who came to him again, brought him news. While solving this problem, he seemed to give him the answer.

"Wu Jian is in Tianjin at this time, and according to the information provided by Wu Jian,"

Mo Bin's eyes were so bright that they were a little scary.
