Zuo Wuji's eyes lit up, and then he said disappointedly, "How could it be so easy … Now I know how precious it is. A small Xuan Jade Ruyi is actually worth ten thousand taels of gold … Poor me, I was egged by you to steal it and sell it. I only got one thousand taels of silver. What a loss …"
And then he gritted his teeth and said painfully, "You two bastards made me the No.1 black sheep in the world … I couldn't tell you that, so I had to swallow it … Now I have it, but what do I have to buy it back?"
Ye Xiao lowered his voice and said, "Heh heh heh … It's just money … That's easy. Let me ask you, do you want to buy the Xuan Jade Ruyi back? "
"Yes! I don't want it! Then I can get rid of the title of the No.1 black sheep in the Kingdom of Chen … God knows how badly I want to get rid of it … "Zuo Wuji nodded and gritted his teeth," But since what happened last time, my pocket money has been deducted. My allowance of three hundred taels of silver has become five taels of silver … Five taels of silver! What the hell can I do with that! "
"It is easy for you to get rid of the title of the No.1 black sheep in the Kingdom of Chen, but … You are about to become the No.1 black sheep in the history of the universe …"
Ye Xiao murmured in his heart, and then he laughed and patted on his chest. He said generously, "If you want to buy it back, I can lend you the money first …"
"Really?" Zuo Wuji was shocked. Not only him, even Lan Lang-Lang was shocked!
[Did the sun rise from the north today?!] [When did Ye Xiao become so generous?]
"Yes!" Ye Xiao nodded. He looked solemn and serious.
"What the hell do you want?" Zuo Wuji looked at him suspiciously. He was thinking, [This guy, is he thinking of something against me again? Does he really like me?]
"Bastard!" Ye Xiao was full of righteousness. His kindness had been treated as ill-intent. He said bitterly, "Zuo Wu-Ji! What did you just say? I thought you were my good brother. That's why I helped you. I took such a big risk. Who knows when you will pay me back? You actually suspect me? Fine, fine, I don't care if you die! "
"Forget it if you don't want it! Can't I keep that money to pick up girls … Lan Langlang! Let's go! " Ye Xiao angrily stood up and left, "Let's ignore this ungrateful guy from now on!"
Lan Langlang was good at stirring up trouble, so he wouldn't let go of this opportunity. He stood up and shouted excitedly, "Let's go! Ignore this bastard who doesn't treat us as friends! "
"Don't … Don't don't don't … Brother Ye, Brother Lan, don't go! Oh my dear brother … "Suddenly, Zuo Wu-Ji rushed forward and held Ye Xiao's waist tightly. He apologized to Ye Xiao with a flattering face," Oh my. I just said something wrong … Oh my. We are brothers. Brothers for life. You are really mad at me … Oh my! Come on! Stay! Come on! Stop! Butler, serve tea! Excellent tea! Top quality tea! The best quality imperial tea that His Majesty bestowed upon my grandfather! Hurry up … "
After giving orders, he politely led Ye Xiao to sit on the armchair in the middle of the room. He bent down and smiled, "Heh heh … Brother Ye, heh heh. Lord Ye, wow, my good brother … Are you really going to lend me the money?"
Ye Xiao crossed his legs and said, "I really wanted to borrow some …"
"You can't change your mind …" Zuo Wu-Ji nearly knelt down.
I finally have a chance to redeem myself. How can I let it go? God knows what kind of life I have been living these months … This is my own house. I can't even run away.
"Humph. Fine." Ye Xiao blew the tea leaves in his hand leisurely and said helplessly, "It's my fault for talking too fast … Well then, just write a note and give me anything as collateral. I will lend you the 15,000 taels of gold … Let me make it clear that you have to pay me back in the future. There is no room for negotiation!"
"Of course!" Zuo Wu-Ji's face was full of joy, but then he frowned and looked worried, "But what do I need to give you as collateral?"
"Do you understand human language? Just give me anything. We are brothers. Do you really think I can take anything valuable from you?" Ye Xiao rolled up his eyes and said sincerely, "Just look at the decorations in the house. Just give me anything … Isn't it fine?"
Zuo Wu-Ji felt relieved, "That is a good idea … Let me think. What should I steal this time?"
His eyeballs were rolling around. Apparently, he had made up his mind to steal again.
"Oh gosh …" Ye Xiao guided him, "Can't you be faster? Just give me anything in the hall. It doesn't have to be something valuable. Anything is fine …"
Under such an obvious hint from Ye Xiao, Zuo Wu-Ji was finally enlightened, "This … Can I use it as collateral?"
"What mortgage? That's what I mean. We are brothers after all!" Ye Xiao spoke with sincerity.
Zuo Wu-Ji was grinning from ear to ear. He finally felt relieved. He smiled happily and said, "These are all my grandpa's treasures, and I love them all … However, it doesn't matter if one or two of them are missing … Brother, tell me. Which one do you like? I will give it to you! What collateral? I will pay you back the money. You can have the decorations! "
Zuo Wu-Ji was really generous.
Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows and said righteously, "What are you talking about? Who do you think I am? I am helping you. Do you think I would want something from you … You can give it to me after you finish your job. It is your sincerity. The gift is small but the sentiment is great. If I accept it now, it will be a bribe!"
[Bribe?!]
Zuo Wu-Ji's mouth twitched.
[You are talking like you are some big official.]
"Look at how slow you are. I will take this one. I like the feeling of spreading my wings and wanting to fly." Ye Xiao casually pointed at the Pure Heavenly Crystal with his finger.
"This … Isn't this too lousy?" Zuo Wu-Ji was touched. [It seems Ye Xiao is really helping me this time. There are so many treasures in the hall and he actually chose the worst one. What a nice guy. Why didn't I realize it before …]
"All right, all right. As long as you know my sincerity." Ye Xiao said with deep affection, "We are so close to each other … Good brothers should help each other … Oh, you have to keep it a secret. If others know that I have lent you so much money … they all come to me to borrow money. I will be in so much trouble if they don't lend me that much money."
"Don't worry. I will keep my mouth shut!" Zuo Wu-Ji patted his chest, "Am I that kind of person …"
"How about … you just take it now." Zuo Wu-Ji didn't want to drag it out, so he tried to make it a fact.
"Idiot!" Ye Xiao scolded in a low voice, "Can't you grow a brain? There are so many people watching me taking it from your house. How can I keep it a secret? "
"Yes, yes." Zuo Wu-Ji moved closer to Ye Xiao's ear, "How about I bring it to you in the evening when it gets dark?"
"That's a great idea!" Ye Xiao praised, "I will wait for you in the alley around the corner. I will bring you the money by the way."
Zuo Wu-Ji had been waiting for these words, so he immediately smiled, "Thank you so much, brother … As long as I can get my position back in my house, I will transfer the money from my shop to you immediately. Don't worry. I am a man of my word!"
"All right. If I didn't trust you, why would I lend you so much money?" Ye Xiao and Zuo Wu-Ji put their arms around each other's shoulders. They were so close like brothers.
Lan Lang-Lang saw this scene and his eyeballs nearly popped out.
After everything was settled, Ye Xiao and Lan Lang-Lang left the House of the Zuo with Zuo Wu-Ji's endless gratitude and Lord Zuo's respectful farewell.
"Don't forget it at night." The two of them had walked far away, but they could still hear Zuo Wu-Ji's passionate shout behind them.
…
"Hey, are you really going to lend him the money?" Lan Lang-Lang looked at Ye Xiao with suspicion, "What … You don't look like a nice guy. Are you going to go back on your words and trick that guy …"
"What are you talking about? You are really judging me with the heart of a villain! Do you think I am like you, a dishonest person who goes back on his words?! " Ye Xiao looked at Lan Lang-Lang with disdain and said, "Go back and prepare ten thousand gold notes for me. I need it!"
It seemed that he didn't have enough money to lend it to Zuo Wu-Ji …
"You need it? Fine. Wait … What? What did you say? You want me to prepare ten thousand gold notes for you to lend to Zuo Wu-Ji? Why? Give me a reason first! "Lan Langlang, who had figured it out, exploded in an instant.
You want to be a good guy and let me pay for it?
Why?!
"Reason? You don't even understand! If you don't prepare enough gold notes, how can I lend it to Zuo Wu-Ji? Wasn't it obvious?! Really?? Shut up!
Ye Xiao rolled up his eyes and casually threatened him, "Lan Lang-Lang, if you don't give me the gold notes and make me break my promise, fine. I will tell your grandpa, your dad, your mom, and your aunt about how you fought with Zuo Wu-Ji in the brothel last time … If that isn't exciting enough, I will put up posters all over the street for you! I'm sure that everyone in the capital city will know your name, Lan Langlang! "Lan Langlang thought. I will make you and Zuo Wu-Ji equally famous in the capital and awe the world! "
"Ah? You! " Lan Langlang couldn't catch his breath and almost fainted. He was so angry that his cross-eyed eyes became normal. He cried out, "Isn't this too cruel? You're trying to kill me … "
"Pah! You are so young and you want to kill me? Cut the crap! You won't lose your money. Let me ask you, are you going to take it or not?! "
"I will! Do I have a choice? "Lan Lang-Lang nearly cried," I will take it … "
