"Brothers, I'm also being wronged. How am I supposed to explain this …"
Dong Tianleng wept and said, "How would I know it was this treasure? At that time, that old bastard leaned on me, and my whole body was covered in blood … I was drinking at that time, how could I still drink? It was disgusting, you guys don't know! "
Everyone looked askance at him. Drinking? Disgusting? Can your wine be compared to the dragonhide treasure map? Even if it disgusts you to death, you should have guarded the treasure without fear!
"Besides, who would have thought that these two pieces of leather would be treasures? There's clearly a moldy smell on them, it's the rotting stench of an animal's carcass …"
Dong Tianleng continued weeping. "Think about it, put yourself in my shoes and think about it … If I didn't throw it out, could I have brought it home? It's so dirty! Ahhhh … "
Everyone looked askance at him. He had to bring it home! He had to bring it home! Dirty? If it were me, I'd bring it home even if it was ten thousand times dirtier! This wastrel!
What an uncountable wastrel, what a short-sighted fool …
Why was it this fellow who was drinking and not me?
Obviously, the temptation of wealth had caused everyone's rationality to go out of control. Rationality had never had a high chance of winning when faced with such a huge temptation!
"Within the boundaries of Tiantang City, us brothers are naturally the most powerful. Therefore, Dong Tianleng would like to shamelessly ask for everyone's help …" Dong Tianleng said in anguish, "Help me find this thing back …"
Everyone sucked in a long breath, obviously not expecting this to be Dong Tianleng's request.
As they listened to Dong Tianleng's complaints, their first thought was that this fellow was acting pitiful, probably to let everyone here be his witness to prove that the treasure was no longer with him. He was just playing it safe and playing it safe!
Who would have thought that this fellow's request for help was actually this? How could you even open your mouth?
Find it back?
Of course, it must be found back.
But find it for you?
Haha …
"I'm in a mess right now … I really don't have any better ideas. I've provoked such a big trouble, and I still have to face the clan's heavy punishment … The only ones I can count on are the brothers here."
Everyone sneered in their hearts. This idiot has done the stupidest thing in the world again. It's fine if you secretly look for it yourself, there's always a chance. But you actually told this big secret to so many people in your panic. It's destined that you'll never be able to find it again!
But it's not like I can't find it. As long as I find it, it's mine. That hidden treasure is mine. How can I miss such a great opportunity?
Dong Tianleng bowed deeply. "Brothers, please help me! Dong Tianleng is eternally grateful. From now on, if there's anything you need, I'll do it even if I have to risk my life! "
He raised his glass with a sincere expression. "Everyone who has come here today has given me face. They are my brothers who have gone through life and death with me. Let us raise our glasses. May our friendship last forever. Even if the seas run dry and the rocks decay, our friendship will never change!"
All the popinjays raised their glasses at the same time. "Since Brother Dong has said so, this little brother and the others will naturally not refuse! Even if we have to go through a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, we'll still go for Brother Dong! Everyone, do your best. We must find it! This friendship will never change, even if the seas run dry and the rocks decay! "
"That's right. We must find it and help Brother Dong through this difficult time!"
"Come, come, come. Let's drink together. Let's drink together. Friendship lasts forever!"
"Friendship lasts forever, our friendship will never be forgotten in this lifetime!" Everyone raised their glasses.
When it came to the words "friendship will last forever, affection will never be forgotten in this life", everyone had a very absurd feeling in their hearts, as if they had been driven to a dead end.
You f * cking wish for us to be with you forever with just a glass of wine? Our friendship will never be forgotten in this lifetime? Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
"Thank you, dear brothers, for your kindness!" Dong Tianleng was moved to tears. "Everyone must eat, drink, and play to your heart's content today. Everything is on me!"
"Righteous!"
"Let's drink!"
"Let's not go home until we're drunk!"
"Come, come, come. Let's go look for the treasure map after this glass of wine. The earlier we find it, the earlier we can save Brother Dong from this disaster!"
"We must find it, no matter what!"
Everyone was drinking and shouting their slogans passionately while calculating in their hearts.
If I find these two pieces of treasure map … heh heh heh …
Will I cultivate martial arts?
Or …
Perhaps …
Hmm?
This was a huge temptation!
Thinking about it, everyone was eager to put their thoughts into action. They were restless, as if there were maggots under their butts. Let me go home and set it up quickly …
This was the dragon hide treasure map that recorded the Seventeenth Master of the Abyss's legacy … Something terrible could happen if we were a step too late …
Yun Yang stood up at this moment.
"Now that we're done with Young Master Dong, let me talk about something else."
"Young Master Yun, please speak. We're all ears and listening to your teachings."
"Actually, about this matter … Marshal Tie Zheng came to me for a drink a few days ago and asked me to think of a solution." Yun Yang went straight to the point. "Now that the war has ended, there are many things waiting to be done, especially when the Board of Military is running out of money and food. There are so many warriors who have died, yet their pensions aren't in place. "
The faces of all the young masters in the room instantly turned pale.
Brother, don't go on. We know what you mean when you say this. You want to borrow money again?
"Yes, we're all sensible people. We're all brothers, so I'd like to take this opportunity to collect some donations from all of you." Yun Yang smiled and said, "I know that other than being brothers, we're all sensible people and rich people …"
We're not rich people, we're very poor …
And … collecting donations?
It's not about borrowing money!
"As one of the sensible people, I'll reveal an unconfirmed piece of information to all of you … If there's really no money, Marshal Tie might very well take extreme measures …" Yun Yang smiled. "For example … confiscating property and filling the national treasury …"
Everyone froze.
Could it be done?
"Of course, this is only an extreme measure when there's no other choice. It's impossible at this stage." Yun Yang smiled warmly. "Because of this, this young master has already promised Marshal Tie that each of us will fork out ten million silver taels … and then everything will be fine. These are the specially designated families. The names on the list are all given ten million silver taels. Everyone here is a sensible person. You won't make a choice that you don't understand, will you? "
Ten million silver taels!
Why don't you just go and die?
And what's with the list and the names on the list?
F * ck … it must be someone from above who's nailed their heads to death. There's no room for negotiation!
"If you really don't have enough money, I can help to pass the message to Marshal Tie. I believe Marshal Tie will be understanding. At most, he'll just pay a visit."
Pay a visit?
F * ck your greetings!
I can't let that fellow pay a visit no matter what.
"Other than the dozens of families on the list that I have in my hand, each of you has ten million silver taels, the rest of you only have about two million silver taels. Cough, I'm troubled by this as well. I know that all of you aren't rich and it's not easy, but two million silver taels should be able to be taken out with some effort, isn't it? "
