In the nameless mountain.
The old man in the black cloak appeared.
Soon, an indifferent voice sounded.
"Elder Xu Ze, according to the intelligence of our sect, the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty has arrived in Qingzhou. The sect hopes that you can cooperate with us to capture the princess."
The black-cloaked old man's expression changed when he heard the voice.
"The princess of the Great Xia Dynasty? Is it the princess? The Eldest Princess? "
The old man seemed a little shocked.
"Of course not, if the Eldest Princess is here, how can we hurt her? It's the Tenth Princess. "
The old man couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, but soon, he couldn't help but be puzzled.
"Isn't the Tenth Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty the most unfavored princess? What can we do even if we capture her? Could it be that the Great Xia Dynasty would make any sacrifices for an unfavored princess? "
The old man was puzzled. He knew the Great Xia Dynasty very well.
"Although the Tenth Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty is indeed unfavored, she has the blood of the royal family in her body and represents the dignity of the Great Xia Dynasty. Several elders of my sect have been imprisoned by the Great Xia Dynasty. As long as we capture the Tenth Princess, we can use her as a hostage to make the Great Xia Dynasty release them."
"Even if the Tenth Princess is unfavored, she is, after all, the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty. She will naturally compromise."
The voice was full of determination.
However, the old man frowned and remained silent, seemingly worried.
"I know what you're worried about. You're just afraid that doing this will implicate the Great Xia Dynasty and cause them to focus their efforts on you. But don't worry, there are still many things for the Great Xia Dynasty to deal with now."
"The internal strife and external troubles are enough to make the Great Xia Dynasty overwrought and have no time to deal with this matter. At most, they will shift their anger to the Tenth Princess."
"Okay, if you can handle this matter well, I'll give you two spots in the Heavenly Star Immortal Island."
The voice in the dark was very hurried, and there was a hint of a commanding tone to it.
"Heavenly Star Immortal Island? Is that true? "
After hearing the words' Heavenly Star Immortal Island ', the old man couldn't help but be energized.
"Since I've said it, I won't lie to you, but you must capture the Tenth Princess, but remember not to hurt her life. She's our bargaining chip, understand?"
A deep and solemn voice rang out.
"I understand." The old man nodded. In fact, even if he was given the guts, he wouldn't dare to hurt the Tenth Princess of Great Xia Dynasty.
If he really hurt that person, no matter how unfavored he was, it was not something he could bear.
"This is the secret report we received from the palace. It has the characteristics of the Tenth Princess."
"By the way, do you have a disciple who is going to participate in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet?"
The other party tossed out a document from the darkness and asked about another matter.
"Yes."
The old man was a little puzzled. He didn't know why the other party was asking this.
"What's your name?"
The other party continued asking.
"Wang Minghao."
The old man answered immediately.
"Alright, complete the mission well. When the Sect Master succeeds, your Great Sun Demon Subduing Sect will be glorious once again."
After saying that, a shadow disappeared.
Soon, the old man waved his hand, and the scroll on the ground flew into his hand.
He opened the scroll, read it carefully, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"You like Householder Qing Lian's poems and paintings?"
He muttered to himself and then disappeared.
Meanwhile.
Baiguo City.
Sincere Gold Pawnshop.
Two esteemed guests had arrived.
In the private room.
Shi Liangjin was explaining a painting excitedly.
The two distinguished guests in the private room were women, one dressed in a light blue dress and the other in a light green dress.
The two women covered their faces with veils, but in terms of aura and figure, they were definitely top-notch beauties. However, it was unknown how beautiful they were.
However, Shi Liangjin was not interested in women at all. He was only interested in taels of silver.
There was a painting in front of him, and the scenery of the night sky was filled with stars.
"Fairies, this painting is the result of Householder Qing Lian's painstaking efforts. Fairies, please take a closer look at this painting. Don't you feel a temporary sense of oppression that will soon be released? Don't you feel as if the clouds have parted to reveal the blue sky?"
"To be honest, Exalted Immortals, when Householder Qing Lian created this painting, there was a small story."
"At that time, Householder Qing Lian was thinking about a question. He was thinking about how the world was born, and what was the purpose of people living in the world. He kept thinking and thinking, but he couldn't find the answer for a long time."
"However, in the end, a sudden breeze blew past, and Householder Qing Lian gained enlightenment. He drew all of his insights onto this painting. Thus, this painting can also be called Householder Qing Lian's Night Dao Comprehension Painting."
In order to sell it at a high price, Shi Liangjin kept bragging.
However, the woman in green did not pay attention to him. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the painting, and she looked at it carefully. The joy in her eyes was not concealed at all.
As for the other woman, she looked at Shi Liangjin and said.
"Just tell me how much this painting is worth."
She asked in a very casual tone.
"To tell you the truth, I spent a huge sum of money to buy this painting. However, I can tell that the two of you are people who are knowledgeable in painting. Furthermore, you are also fond of Householder Qing Lian's paintings, so five hundred thousand gold taels can be considered a friendly price."
Shi Liangjin said with a smile.
As soon as he said that, the expression of the woman in the light green dress changed. She looked at Shi Liangjin and said, "500,000 taels of gold? Why don't you go rob a bank? This painting may be an authentic work of Householder Qing Lian, but how can you spend hundreds of thousands of taels of gold on it? "
"Even if you sell this shop, you won't be able to sell it for 500,000 taels of gold, right? Shopkeeper, you'd better tell me the real price. Otherwise, you won't get another shop like this one. "
The woman seemed to be very shrewd.
"Oh, Exalted Immortals, I'm really not asking for a random price. Householder Qing Lian is the top talent of Jin Nation, especially in the past three years when he seemed to have vanished into thin air. His paintings are even more valuable. 500,000 taels of gold? I didn't earn a single tael of silver at all."
Shi Liangjin said with a sullen face. He almost cheated himself.
"You didn't earn a single tael of silver? You must have earned hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, right? " The woman in green did not fall for his tricks. She thought about it and said, "10,000 taels of gold, do you want to sell it?"
As soon as she said that, Shi Liangjin was dumbfounded.
"10,000 taels of gold? Madam, you don't have to bargain like this, do you? 10,000 taels of gold? It's not that I'm being harsh, but you can't even buy a poem by Householder Qing Lian with 10,000 taels of gold, let alone a painting by him. "
"Take a look. This painting has Householder Qing Lian's poem inscribed on it, as well as his seal. Just these items alone are worth more than 50,000 taels of silver, right?"
"Fairies, if you're sincere about buying it, the price is negotiable. If you're not sincere about buying it, then please leave."
Shi Liangjin was a little depressed.
10,000 taels of gold?
If he sold it, Householder Qing Lian's fans would want to kill him, not to mention the fact that he would lose money.
Selling Householder Qing Lian's painting for 10,000 taels of gold?
That would be a disgrace to Householder Qing Lian.
"Shopkeeper."
However, at this moment, the woman in green who had been admiring the painting spoke up.
Her voice was sweet like an oriole.
"I quite like this painting and it's indeed a recent work of Householder Qing Lian. However, 500,000 taels of gold is too greedy. 100,000 taels of gold."
The woman said.
"100,000 taels of gold? That's a loss for me too. How about 300,000 taels of gold? "
Shi Liangjin was not blinded by beauty. All he cared about was money.
"100,000 taels of gold. This painting is indeed worth more than 100,000 taels of gold, but it depends on who has it. There are a few high-level officials in Jin Nation who like Householder Qing Lian's painting, but you won't be able to get close to them. Even if you do, their subordinates will use all means to snatch it from you if they find out that you have such a painting."
"Think about it yourself. If you sell it to me, you'll at least be able to make a profit. If you don't, the people from the imperial court might come knocking on your door in a few days. By then, the price they offer will probably make you lose everything."
The woman's voice was calm, but her words made Shi Liangjin fall silent.
The reason being that she was right.
There were some high-level officials in Jin Nation who liked Householder Qing Lian's painting and some who wanted to suck up to him. However, they were all ruthless characters. If he dared to offer an exorbitant price, the shop would probably close down the next day.
At the thought of this, Shi Liangjin gritted his teeth and said, "200,000 taels of gold."
"100,000 taels of gold, not a single cent more. Think about it yourself."
The woman continued to speak in a firm tone.
"Okay, okay, let's just treat it as our first opening today."
Seeing the other party's tone, Shi Liangjin didn't force the issue and agreed to the deal.
