When Han Yunxi quoted the price of 700 million, Jia Dai's face was filled with shock, but his heart was calm. His Highness had long sent someone to tell him the amount. In contrast, the head elder looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. While Myriad Merchant Hall could afford it, the risk was far too great. If Uncle Cheng hadn't mentioned Ning Cheng, he would never have agreed.
"Since Madame Han has offered such a sky-high price, she must like these two courtyards very much. Since that's the case, it's fine if the Old Man breaks his promise," Jia Dai pretended to sigh even though he'd gotten a bargain.
The head elder was angry in his heart, but he didn't show it. Instead, he said, "Since that's the case, I ask Old Master Dai to show the deed to my family's Madame for inspection."
The head elder had to guard against this Jia Dai trying to sell two goods at once!
Since they'd decided to buy the land, they had to get the deed in hand this time to avoid any more mishaps. Moreover, it was urgent to reopen the gambling house. They had to take advantage of the fact that the gamblers in the black market hadn't all left yet to lure them back. If they delayed any longer, they'd have to spend all sorts of resources to attract more gamblers.
Jia Dai quickly went to retrieve the deed and showed it to Han Yunxi to make sure there were no mistakes.
Jia Dai probed, "Madame Han, if there's no problem with this deed, can we …"
"Old Master Dai, 700 million is no small sum. I don't know if you can pay half of it first and pay the rest at a later date?"
The head elder made it sound so nice, but it could be summed up in two words: he wanted to "put the debt on credit."
Jia Dai's face immediately turned gloomy as he snatched the deed from Han Yunxi's hands. Cold, he said, "Everyone, I, Jia Dai, don't put things on credit!"
The head elder's face alternated between red and white, both embarrassed and angry. Whether it was Cloud Realm Trade Consortium or Myriad Merchant Hall, when had anyone ever dared to say such things? It was simply a disgrace!
The head elder suddenly felt like a dog being bullied by a dog. Before he could speak, Uncle Cheng said unhappily, "Old Master Jia, what do you mean by this? Are you afraid that we can't afford it? "
As soon as Uncle Cheng spoke, Han Yunxi, who was about to speak, stopped talking. She didn't expect Uncle Cheng to be more anxious than her! Thinking about it, it made sense. Uncle Cheng wanted to get a commission, so he naturally had to work hard to make the transaction pay in full.
A cold glint flashed through Han Yunxi's eyes as she watched calmly.
"If it wasn't for the fact that you couldn't afford it, why would you only pay half up front?" Jia Dai's tone was sarcastic. She deliberately looked at Han Yunxi and said, "I thought Mrs. Han was a generous person. I didn't expect … Hehe, if you only intend to pay half of the bill, then I'm sorry! Everyone, please return. "
"Master Jia, I'm afraid you've misunderstood!" The Great Elder couldn't help but say, "What I mean is that we pay half of the money first and settle this matter. Today and tomorrow, our madam will personally visit the two gardens. If there are no major problems, she will pay the remaining half of the money.
The Great Elder's words gave himself and Han Yunxi a great platform to step down from. It also meant that he agreed to pay in full.
Jia Dai's expression immediately returned to its original amiable and good-natured appearance. "If that's the case, then it's easy to talk about it! There's no need to pay the deposit first. Old Man will take you to visit the two gardens now. "
Han Yunxi whispered to the Great Elder, "That's the only way. Send someone back to prepare the money. We'll walk around the gardens. When we go back, we can also discuss the remodeling. I just took a look along the way, and the garden shouldn't have changed much. "
The Great Elder's heart was filled with helplessness. He felt that this matter was happening too quickly, and it made him a little flustered. However, if they didn't act quickly and someone else beat them to it, then it would be very difficult for them to make a comeback.
"Princess, this subordinate also took a serious look just now. Even the few courtyards we passed by don't need to be remodeled. As long as we transport the things from the casino over, we can use them directly." The Great Elder said in a low voice.
"That's good. This garden is big, so it's not impossible to use the courtyards in front first. We can discuss the remodeling slowly," Han Yunxi said in a low voice.
That was what the Great Elder meant. He didn't want to miss this business opportunity the most.
Just like that, Han Yunxi's group, accompanied by Jia Dai and a few servants, finished touring South Jue Garden at night. The actual layout of South Jue Garden was much better than what they had seen on the drawings. There were very few places that needed to be remodeled, and they were all small projects.
The Great Elder had been hoping to find some major damage so that he could bargain with Jia Dai. Unfortunately, this garden was so well maintained that he had no chance at all.
After dinner, Jia Dai warmly invited them to stay in South Jue Garden for the night, and they would set off for West Jade Garden tomorrow. It would take at least half a day to travel from South Jue Garden to West Jade Garden.
"Princess, stay here for the night. If we return to Myriad Merchant Hall, we'll have to walk for another four hours tomorrow," the Great Elder advised.
Han Yunxi hesitated for a moment, then said, "We're not going back to Myriad Merchant Hall, and we're not staying here. Uncle Cheng, go tell Master Jia that we're in a hurry. We'll rush to West Jade Garden tonight. Tomorrow, we'll rest in West Jade Garden for a while, and then immediately visit the garden. "" Princess, your health is more important! "the Great Elder advised with concern.
"It's fine. I can sleep in the carriage." Han Yunxi insisted. Long Fei Ye's lonely eyes made her not want to delay any longer. She couldn't wait to find Bai Yanqing to settle the score.
Uncle Cheng was also impatient. He couldn't rest easy until he destroyed Deacon Jin's mouth. He immediately went to find Jia Dai to tell him. Jia Dai naturally agreed and immediately went to arrange a carriage.
However, just as he finished preparing everything, Xu Donglin suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"Elder Jia, long time no see." Xu Donglin hugged his sword and leaned against the wall.
Jia Dai was surprised to see him. "Your Highness is here too?"
"His Highness is still at the black market. I just came to tell you that the Princess is used to riding in His Highness' carriage. You have to arrange a comfortable one for her. If the Princess is bumped …"
Before Xu Donglin could finish, Jia Dai nodded repeatedly. "Understood, understood! I've already instructed the West Jade Garden to prepare a room in Bright Moon Hotel for the Princess. "
Only then did Xu Donglin disappear, satisfied.
Just like that, Han Yunxi and the others rushed to West Jade Garden through the night, while Long Fei Ye met with Chu Tianyin at East Origin Hall.
"I spent a lot of effort to find a way to have that goshawk lead the way. Unfortunately, by the time I got there, he was already gone," Chu Tianyin said calmly.
These days, he didn't pay attention to the political situation, nor did he pay attention to the Western Zhou Emperor's mobilization of the army. He was almost entirely focused on finding Gu Beiyue.
He kept the goshawk that delivered the letter for Gu Beiyue. He didn't know who raised that goshawk. He used all kinds of methods and found someone who understood the language of beasts. A few days ago, he finally succeeded in getting the goshawk to lead the way. Unfortunately, by the time he found the valley, the courtyard in the valley was already empty.
"Can you determine when he left?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"At least a month. He should have moved to another place, "Chu Tianyin said seriously.
Long Fei Ye didn't hide anything and told Chu Tianyin about their situation at Black Tower. Chu Tianyin's brows furrowed deeper as he listened. "If that's the case, then it's very likely that Bai Yanqing is near the Three-Way Black Market?"
"I've already sent people to secretly search for places where he could easily hide, but unfortunately there's been no news so far," Long Fei Ye said calmly.
"What do you think about Ning Cheng?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Chu Tianyin hated Ning Cheng to the core. Even though Long Fei Ye asked him so directly, he still avoided the question. "Long Fei Ye, my Chu clan has no right to interfere in the affairs of Eastern and Western Qin, and I have no interest in doing so! I only hope that you can keep your promise and release my two Chu clan elders. "
Chu Tianyin was quite open-minded. As traitors, the Chu clan had no right to call themselves part of Western Qin's camp. He also knew that the East Qin camp would never truly accept them. He only hoped that Gu Beiyue would be safe. He only hoped that his father and uncle would regain their freedom.
This was the only thing he could do for the Chu clan.
Long Fei Ye liked Chu Tianyin's attitude very much. He said calmly, "I heard that Western Zhou's Emperor Kang Cheng has been mobilizing his troops recently. Does he intend to take away your military power?"
Chu Tianyin snorted coldly, "That depends on whether he can take it away!"
"Very good. You don't have to worry about Gu Beiyue. Just lead your Western Qin troops well. This king will not treat your father and uncle unfairly, "Long Fei Ye said calmly.
"You mean … … you really want to go to war with Northern Li?" Chu Tianyin asked curiously.
"Whether it's Northern Li or Jun Yi Xie, this war is inevitable! It has nothing to do with Eastern and Western Qin, "Long Fei Ye said.
Although Eastern and Western Qin was currently the biggest problem, he didn't just see the Eastern and Western Qin in front of him. He saw far and his heart was big. Northern Li and even the Wintercrow behind the snowy mountains were all in his eyes.
He was only temporarily slowing down for the sake of a woman.
Chu Tianyin hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Long Fei Ye, I want to see my father."
Long Fei Ye looked up and said mercilessly, "You'll never see the two of them before it's done."
Chu Tianyin took his leave expressionlessly, but he was laughing at himself inwardly. What was wrong with him just now? How could he forget what kind of person Long Fei Ye was?
Although he was working with Long Fei Ye, that didn't mean that Long Fei Ye would be merciful to him! He was simply asking to be humiliated!
By the time Long Fei Ye finished his business, it was already midnight. He took a bath and was about to go to Myriad Merchant Hall when he remembered that the Shadow Guard had already reported that Han Yunxi was rushing to Western Jade Palace and wouldn't be in the black market tonight.
If he rushed over now, it would probably be dawn by the time he caught up.
Recalling Han Yunxi's clumsy advances last night, and her languid and tired appearance as she lay on the bed this morning, Long Fei Ye couldn't help but smile, and the corners of his mouth curved beautifully.
Long Fei Ye couldn't sleep. He strolled into the courtyard and coincidentally bumped into Baili Mingxiang practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
"Your Highness." Baili Mingxiang hurriedly retreated and bowed in greeting.
Long Fei Ye made a sound of acknowledgment, then walked past her and left.
Baili Mingxiang didn't dare to look at his face just now, but now she hurriedly looked up, wishing she could imprint his back into her heart.
After Long Fei Ye's back disappeared, she turned back and gripped the sword in her hand, practicing even harder.
Just as everyone was preparing to capture Bai Yanqing, Bai Yanqing dragged his heavily injured body and hid as he rushed to the valley.
His poison skills were exquisite, and his martial arts were superb. There was no need for him to hide like this. However, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye, whom he had spent so much effort to separate, were still working together. One's poison skills were on par with his, and the other's martial arts were better than his. The two of them working together were his natural enemies.
He wasn't stupid enough to confront them directly. He decided to give up his original plan and take Gu Beiyue to Northern Li. However, when he entered the room, he found … it was a mess. Gu Beiyue was gone!
