Chapter 2992 Bargaining

Old Zhang is really good at playing hard to get. Looking at the talismans in his hand, I can't help but feel itchy.

The rest of the talismans can be bought with money, but that purple gold talisman was made by Chong Ling Zhenren, one of the three best talismans. It must be extremely powerful and can definitely save lives at critical moments. I really want it.

But I was more sober now, and said helplessly: "Grandpa Zhang, this is not just my business. Stopping Yiguandao from stealing the energy of Jiuzhou Ding is a big deal. My brothers are all going to fight with me. I have to discuss it with them. You can't just give them benefits. It's better to give everyone some sweet treats."

Grandpa Zhang's face darkened and he waved his hand: "Forget it, you have learned how to bargain. You don't have to go. I will give you every cent of the money you owe me. Don't even think about asking me for help in the future. Go away."

Having said that, Old Zhang sat down on the stool angrily.

At this time, Tang Shangning came over and pushed me: "Your Grandpa Zhang doesn't care about you, and I don't care about you either. You can do whatever you want in the future. It has nothing to do with me, Old Tang. No matter how big the mess is, you should handle it yourself, don't look for me, Old Tang..."

My goodness, these old foxes are starting to cooperate in acting to fool me, it’s all a conspiracy.

I grew up under the care of this group of old men. When it came to playing tricks on me, I was no match for them and could only surrender.

"I was wrong, I was wrong... Grandpa Zhang, Uncle Tang, don't be angry. I will go over and discuss with Lao Luo and the others, and follow Uncle Tang to Jingzhou."

Hearing what I said, Old Zhang raised his eyelids and glanced in my direction: "That's right, Grandpa Zhang won't harm you. This is a chance for you to gain experience. It's not just you guys who will go up. Many experts from the special dispatch team will definitely follow."

"Is Liu Xiangdong going?" I suddenly thought of him.

"He will definitely go. He is one of the main persons in charge of this operation. Minister Xiao will also go with us and be in charge of the overall command." Tang Shangning was obviously having a headache when he mentioned these two people.

I thought to myself that this was a good opportunity. Maybe I could get rid of Liu Xiangdong. It would be best if I could get rid of Minister Xiao as well. Then we would have nothing to worry about.

As if he had noticed something, Tang Shangning quickly reminded him, "Don't have any evil thoughts, do your job well, and don't do anything crooked. Even if you try to get rid of Liu Xiangdong, maybe there will be Li Xiangdong or Wang Xiangdong coming."

"What does Uncle Tang mean?" I was a little confused.

"Xiao Jie, you are still young. There are a lot of tricks here. It is not easy to work in the government office. The reason why Liu Xiangdong is arranged next to your Uncle Tang is to check and balance him. Some people above are afraid that he will cover up the sky with one hand. At the same time, it is also to check and balance our Longhu Mountain. Although this man named Liu Xiangdong does not have good intentions, fortunately he puts everything on the table. If the kind of person with deeper scheming and schemes is next to your Uncle Tang, that would be the most terrifying." Grandpa Zhang looked up at me.

Oh my god, I didn’t expect there are so many tricks here. The underworld is really complicated. I kind of want to go back to the countryside.

As soon as Old Zhang finished speaking, I reached out and snatched the talismans from him, then turned around and walked outside: "Grandpa Zhang, I'll go tell them, and follow Uncle Tang to Jingzhou at any time."

I was afraid that Old Zhang would ask me for it back, so I ran faster than a rabbit.

From behind came the old Zhang's voice of laughter and scolding: "This stinky boy is such a thief!"

Soon, I arrived at the courtyard and saw that the sloppy Taoist priest and his companions had all woken up and were sitting around in the courtyard eating.

I walked over immediately, took out a few bottles of the best Moutai from the Dragon-Tiger Mirror, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "Brothers, you have all worked hard this time and helped me get back the Yasakani no Magatama. I will treat you all to some good wine."

The sloppy Taoist priest glanced at the Maotai on the table and looked at me carefully: "Wu Laoliu, we helped you get back something as important as the Yasakani no Magatama, and you want to get rid of us with just a drink?"

"Then what do you say I should do? I am penniless now, only have a body. How about giving myself to you in return?" I grabbed the sloppy Taoist priest's arm and threw him a coquettish look.

The sloppy Taoist shuddered all over and shook off my hand with disgust: "Get away from me, aren't you disgusting?"

I stood up, opened the bottle, poured a glass of wine for everyone one by one, and said with a smile: "I'm pouring wine for all the brothers. Thank you for helping me retrieve the Yasakani no Magatama this time. If I have the opportunity to make a fortune in the future, I will definitely not forget you brothers. Let me drink first."

As I said this, I picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Seeing how attentive I was, the slovenly Taoist looked at me again and said, "Wu Laoliu, something is wrong with you. You just went to Grandpa Zhang's place and stayed there for so long. Something must have happened, right?"

I discovered that nothing can be hidden from the sloppy Taoist priest's eyes; he has too many ulterior motives.

I chuckled: "There is something going on, and I need your help..."

As I spoke, I formed seals with my hands and activated the isolation array in the yard so that people outside could not hear us talking.

Then, I said, "Grandpa Zhang asked me to come over just now because Yiguandao has made a big move recently. Grandpa Zhang wanted us to go over there."

When they heard what I said, everyone was stunned.

The sloppy Taoist priest stood up and patted his butt: "Wu Laoliu, I knew you were up to no good. Brothers, let's go quickly. This guy is a disaster. It's not good to be with him. We finally survived the hands of the two vice leaders of the Black Demon Cult, and he wants us to fight a pass now. He doesn't leave us any room for maneuver."

Seeing the sloppy Taoist priest like this, I hurried over and grabbed his arm: "Luo Laoliu, don't leave first, I have something good here."

Hearing what I said, the sloppy Taoist stopped and looked at me again: "What good stuff is that? Take it out and let me see it."

I took out a wind escape talisman from my pocket and handed it to the sloppy Taoist priest: "Luo Laoliu, this is a wind escape talisman that can travel a hundred miles in an instant. Do you know who refined it? It was Chong Ling Zhenren from Longhu Mountain. This talisman is invaluable."

"You want me to risk my life for you just for a talisman?" The sloppy Taoist priest said with some disdain.

"Grandpa Zhang said that if we don't go, the special task force will not give us any convenience in the future. If you don't want it, I will return this talisman to Grandpa Zhang." I pretended to be regretful and sighed.
