Chapter 55

"What are you doing!"

When Wu Xindie saw Mao Xiaotai kneeling down, he hurriedly dismounted and helped Mao Xiaotai up, scolding: "You're still talking about He Lingxiu. Didn't you kneel down for me too? You get up first. This trouble with you is not a trivial matter.

Whether I can help you or not, I have to do it according to my ability. []" Mao Xiaotai said excitedly: "Although I, Mao Xiaotai, am not a great person, I have never made a big gift to anyone. Now I am doing it for Jizhen Pavilion

Together with the hundred or so members of Jizhen Pavilion, I would like to give you a big gift. Brother, you can’t just die without saving me!"

"Well. My conscience is also made of flesh, not made of iron. I sympathize with what happened to you and Jizhenge. But your matter is not a small grudge between three or five people. It involves a gang dispute. I am

No matter how much I want to help you, it will be useless without the support of the gang, so I said that I have to do what I can, do you understand?" Wu Xindie's words were full of meaning.

"I understand what the elder brother means. I don't want the elder brother to go to the desert maze alone to fight. I want the elder brother to lead the tiger and wolf divisions of Juyi Hall to go to the desert labyrinth to seek justice from Xiao Zhang, and then go to Jizhen Pavilion to seek justice.

You Shijiu will be punished and the puppet Yu Zaijiang will abdicate, and I, the pavilion elder, will be restored to my position..."

"All you can say is that you still don't understand what I mean by doing things within your means."

"Act within one's ability? Act within one's ability..." Mao Xiaotai murmured, pondering for a moment, then smiled, "Who doesn't understand what it means to act within one's ability? Brother's Juyi Hall is well-known among gangs in the world.

I dare not say that I am better than Zhang Yunzong from a family of gods and humans. Anyway, it is not difficult to clean up the Desert Labyrinth gang. The eldest brother has a high reputation in Juyi Hall..."

"Okay, okay, you better listen to me first!"

Wu Xindie interrupted, rubbed her hands and said, "I haven't read many books, but I have heard a saying that all the prosperity in the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. I

I forgot whether Confucius or Mencius said this, have you heard of it?"

"Haha, I've heard of it. This was not said by Confucius or Mencius. It was said by Sima Qian, the author of "Historical Records". It has been passed down for more than two thousand years."

"Oh, he said it." Wu Xindie was a little shy, laughed, and then said seriously, "Whether it was Sima Qian or Sulv Qian who said this, anyway, this saying has been circulated for more than two thousand years and is still used by Wu.

Xindie quoted it, which shows how classic and true this sentence is! Since you know the source of this sentence, you should be able to understand the meaning of this sentence, and you should also be able to understand what I mean by doing things within your means, right?"

"Act within your capabilities?"

Mao Xiaotai was puzzled. He pondered the meaning of these four words over and over in his mind, and then tried to integrate Sima Qian's sixteen-word motto, and suddenly he had an epiphany! He said loudly, "What the elder brother means is that money is needed to do this. Yes."

What?"

"Well, that's what I mean!" Wu Xindie nodded solemnly and said seriously, "As the saying goes, a shopping mall is like a battlefield, but the opposite can also be said, a battlefield is like a shopping mall! Do you think, why does Xiao Zhang want to fight with Yu Zaijiang?

Money? Because fighting costs money. Brothers have to buy medicine and repair equipment. These are all money items! Besides, when the boss leads the brothers to fight on the battlefield and fight against others, the brothers not only have to pay

If you are powerful, you have to offend the enemy. There is a saying in Jianghu that it is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. Who wants to offend more people? So after the battle, the boss must reward his brothers well, you say

Isn’t that right?”

"Well, that's right! We can't let our brothers' hard work go in vain."

"As long as you understand this truth!" Wu Xindie was deeply pleased and said straight to the point, "You can make an offer. If it is suitable, I will make arrangements for you and I will definitely help you regain your position as the elder of Jizhen Pavilion. And let you

Sit comfortably and you will never be threatened by Xiao Zhang and those people again!"

"This..." Mao Xiaotai frowned, "Uh... let me make the price!"

“I’ll make an offer, too!”

Wu Xindie was silent for a moment, and thought to herself, "How much is appropriate? Hmm... I'll do the same thing, and it will cost 20,000 gold! The asking price is 25,000, and let him cut off 5,000 gold!" He said, "Xiao Zhang gave the fish at that time.

He's asking for 20,000 gold to do something in Jiang, right? Actually, let me tell you, the 20,000 gold he asked for is not much at all, because this is a fight with a gang, not hiring a murderer! Of course, they are just scaring you.

Zhenge, there is no real fight, he really wants more than the 20,000 gold. But if I want to help you regain your position as the elder of the pavilion, then I must have a real fight with Xiao Zhang and the others. So -

―Like what Xiao Zhang said about the 'heavy logistical tasks', that's purely blackmail. I won't do that. Just give me 25,000 gold!"

"How much? Two...twenty-five thousand gold?"

Mao Xiaotai was taken aback. He originally thought that he could get it done with just a few thousand gold at most, so he thought to himself, "You are so fucking evil!" There was a look of embarrassment on his face, and he said sadly, "Brother, at this price for you...

…Isn’t it too high?”

"Is this price still high? I've already taken good care of you with this price!" Wu Xindie said generously, "Do you think that Yu Zaijiang spent 20,000 gold, and what kind of birds did he find? What about Xiao Zhang and

Xiao Baicai is not famous. This is the first time I have heard of it. People's values ​​are different. If you give me twenty-five thousand gold, I can find you a great weapon and a Taoist master pomegranate. If I am the leader

If Brother La is okay, maybe I can call him over—"

"Brother, Brother Yan is the number one talented person. I don't dare to hope that I can recruit him. It would be great if I could recruit Cheng Daqi. But I heard that Cheng Daqi seems to be very unsociable and difficult to talk to. You can really

Did he invite you?"

"Halo, do you still think I'm bragging? Cheng Daqi is my brother, and I'm his eldest brother! To be honest, in Juyi Hall, even if the gang leader drags me to let Cheng Daqi do something, according to my brother's temperament,

He may not be willing to do it. But if I ask him to do something, he will definitely not hesitate!"

"It turns out that the famous Cheng Daqi is the sworn brother of the eldest brother?"

Mao Xiaotai looked admiring and excited, but said sadly, "But brother, the price you offered is too high. I can't bear it. Can it be less?"

"How much can you take?"

"Get a big head, keep a small head, five thousand gold!"

"Five thousand gold? Damn it, you really dare to talk!"

Wu Xindie felt cold and said with a straight face, "That's it! If you really want me to help you regain your position as Pavilion Elder, then I will give you some more, and you can give me a round number, twenty thousand gold!

If you find it difficult, then ask someone else to help you!"

"Okay! Twenty thousand gold is twenty thousand gold. If you can hire experts like Cheng Daqi and Shiliu, twenty thousand gold is worth it!" Mao Xiaotai's tone suddenly became firm.

"It's rare that you are so happy!" Wu Xindie laughed and said, "Then give me the money now. With the money, I can arrange this trouble for you as soon as possible."

"Are you going to give me the money now?" Mao Xiaotai looked suspicious and said in a low voice, "Can't I give you the money after you help me regain my position as Pavilion Elder?"

"A joke, of course not!"

Wu Xindie was categorical. After observing his words, he knew that Mao Xiaotai did not trust him, so he said: "Don't worry, I will never take your money and not do anything for you! After all, I am from Juyitang.

Elder Shangyuan is the eldest brother of Cheng Daqi. But you are just a loner. The only reason why I am afraid that you will not give me money when you take the position of elder is not the reason why I will not do things for you after taking money!"

"Yeah. That's right." Mao Xiaotai nodded, hating in his heart, "Damn it, I called you big brother so many times in vain! It costs a lot of money, and you are not accommodating at all!" After a moment of silence, he simply said

To be honest, "I don't have that much money right now. I'll pay a deposit of two thousand gold first. When you help me regain my position as Pavilion Elder, I'll pay the balance in one lump sum, okay?"

"Why do you have so many things to do!" Wu Xindie was a little impatient and said decisively, "If you have to pay a deposit, you can't just pay two thousand gold. You pay ten thousand gold first, and wait for the rest after everything is completed.

Pay it in full. If it doesn’t work, just don’t talk about it!”

"Okay, okay, just do what big brother wants!" Mao Xiaotai saw that Wu Xindie said that there was no room for maneuver, so he had to compromise, but said melancholy, "But big brother, I only have six thousand gold on hand now. Let's do this.

, I also have a "Tathagata Sutra" here. What is recorded in this sutra is the Shaolin Wuzong's unique skill - the Tathagata Palm! This book is worth at least five thousand gold. If you give it to you with the six thousand gold, it will be worth

Ten thousand gold, okay?"

"The Tathagata Sutra?" Wu Xindie muttered in her heart, "I don't know if this book is worth five thousand gold. If it is, I will make the profit. If not, I will get back the ten thousand gold as well!"

At that moment, Wu Xindie and Mao Xiaotai came to Bianjing Bank. Mao Xiaotai handed Wu Xindie six thousand gold and the "Tathagata Sutra" to Wu Xindie. Wu Xindie kept the gold and the secret book, and couldn't help but feel elated. Thinking of this

The trip to Hidden Sword Villa was really not in vain, and I actually got such a good deal. I was very happy, but I remembered Mao Xiaotai's words and deeds when I was at Hidden Sword Villa. I felt that this person's character seemed to be very bad, and I was afraid

He broke his promise and said majestically: "You have to pay the remaining ten thousand gold immediately after I finish the job for you! If you dare to default on your debt, I can lift you up and push you down. Understand

What?"

"Brother, don't worry!" Mao Xiaotai vowed, pointing to the sky and scolding, "The sky has eyes, if I dare to default on my debt, I will be a puppy!"

"hey-hey!"

Wu Xindie sneered and said sarcastically, "Stop talking about puppies and old dogs! Then when you broke into the Hidden Sword Villa, you swallowed two bags of meteorite fragments. Didn't you also scold loudly like a puppy?

?To be honest, I really can’t trust you, but I’m not afraid that you’ll default on your debt!”

"Brother, you have misunderstood me! Brother, that is just a temporary solution. With their group, why should we be trustworthy?"

Mao Xiaotai was ridiculed by Wu Xindie, and his face turned red with embarrassment. Just as he was about to say something to excuse himself, he suddenly saw smoke and dust rising by the moat outside the south gate. Three fast horses rode into the city first, with a bustling crowd behind him.

Followed by hundreds of tiger and wolf men. The three wealthy men on fast horses, the first one has a bare back, a tiger's back and waist, and is very majestic; the middle one is carrying a long sword and is suave; the one after him does not look like a casual person.

generation.

"Who are these people? They don't look like Xiao Zhang's group?"
