473: Greed is not enough, lets discuss the plan together(1/2)
When Zuo Chongming and others saw these people... no, when they saw these monsters.
Unexpectedly, these guys were restless, as if they had thorns all over their bodies, and were nervously looking around the room...
They, who have lived under the sea all year round, have never seen something so transcendent.
The iron box with four wheels can actually run, the iron bird that weighs ten thousand can fly, the fragile white box can blow cold wind...
What they saw, heard, and came into contact with along the way always subverted their outlook on life.
"Ahem!!"
A demon saw Zuo Chongming with sharp eyes and coughed hard several times to remind his companions to pay attention to etiquette and not to be too embarrassed.
"this……"
An old man with a stooped figure and a purple robe turned around abruptly and awkwardly handed over his hands: "It must be in front of the champion?"
"No courtesy, sit down."
Zuo Chongming nodded, walked through the hall, and sat at the front seat without hesitation: "May I ask your surname?"
"Return to Zuo Hou, old man Mo Yu."
The old man sat down slightly nervously and said with a smile: "This time, on the order of the Dragon King of the South China Sea, I traveled thousands of miles to visit the Marquis."
"South China Sea Dragon Clan..."
Zuo Chongming pretended to think deeply and said in deep thought: "If I remember correctly, I don't seem to have much contact with you in Nanhai... right?"
Mo Yu stroked the long beard on his lips, narrowed his eyes and showed a kind smile: "It didn't happen before, but doesn't it happen now?"
"Oh? That's interesting."
Zuo Chongming narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I am very curious about the purpose of the Dragon King of the South China Sea. I hope you will not hesitate to enlighten me."
With a sincere expression, Mo Yu said softly: "You are so polite, Lord Zuo. I wonder if Lord Zuo still remembers the trip to Demon Camel Ridge a few years ago?"
"Of course I remember."
Zuo Chongming nodded noncommittally, wanting to hear what he would say next.
Mo Yu looked at him and nodded, and said calmly: "I heard that Zuohou sent out a ferocious beast Taotie?"
Zuo Chongming raised his eyebrows slightly and showed a hint of surprise at the right time: "Your Excellency is very well-informed."
"Haha, Zuohou Miaozan."
Mo Yu said proudly: "If I guess correctly, this Taotie does not belong to Zuo Hou, but was borrowed from Ji Changyun, right?"
Zuo Chongming was even more surprised. He picked up the tea and took a sip: "You even know this?"
"Zuohou doesn't know something."
Mo Yu smiled and said: "Ji Changyun didn't deliberately keep a low profile during that time before the war at Motuo Ridge, but he was not at Congyun Mansion at all.
Zuo Chongming squinted his eyes, put down his tea cup thoughtfully, and asked, "Oh? Not in Congyun Mansion? Is it at your place?"
"Your Excellency, please don't blame me for making malicious speculations. The sea area is actually quite dangerous. With Ji Changyun's strength, I'm afraid..."
Mo Yu showed a wry smile and sighed: "To be honest, he was invited by our Nanhai Dragon Clan to go to the South China Sea to make plans."
"It's just that this person has a vicious mind. He is planning for our dragon clan, but in fact he has evil intentions. He is planning to harm both our dragon clan and the sea monster clan."
"But he was able to get out of it smoothly. That Taotie and the many monk spells and techniques he took out were all stolen from him."
Jiang Fenglong, who was listening in the audience, couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard this.
Good guy, one of them is really more shameless than the other, and they lie without blushing.
This old guy seems to be honest and honest, but every time he talks, he turns the facts upside down and completely changes his face.
"Is that so?"
Zuo Chongming pretended to be amazed, his expression was very dramatic.
"That's right."
"To be honest, that thief Ji Changyun also stole an inherited treasure from our Dragon Clan before he left."
"oh?"
Zuo Zhongming showed an interested expression and motioned for him to continue making up... Bah, keep talking.
As expected by the Dragon King, this boy really did not let go of the eagle when he saw the rabbit.
Before I heard the benefits, my attitude was always aloof, but now I am obviously much closer.
Despicable and greedy humans!!
Mo Yu secretly smiled in his heart, but said with a bitter look on his face: "That is a incomplete transmission formation map, which is related to the location of the legendary Qilin ancestral land."
"..."
The corner of Jiang Fenglong's mouth twitched crazily, and he quickly left the place in a few steps, trying his best to open his mouth wide and burst into silent laughter.
He was so happy.
At the beginning, Zuo Chongming pretended to be Ji Changyun and went deep into the South China Sea Dragon Clan, just to use this thing to stir up trouble and lead the major forces to war.
But I never thought that after the third prince ascended to the position of Dragon King, he would imitate his example and even wanted to use this matter to catch Zuo Chongming.
"Hiss... Qilin's ancestral land?"
Zuo Chongming showed a look of "horror and shock", and greed flashed across his eyes at the right time.
Mo Yu took in his expression completely, increased the stakes and said: "To be honest with you, Lord Marquis, I came here today with the Dragon King's instructions."
"If the Marquis is willing to join forces with our Nanhai Dragon Clan to kill Ji Changyun, we can share the secret of the Qilin Ancestral Land."
"Forehead……"
Zuo Chongming was obviously a little moved, but he seemed to have no concerns.
After a while, he hesitated and said: "Ah, isn't this... bad?"
Mo Yu asked tentatively: "Master Hou is not satisfied with this condition?"
"That's not true."
Zuo Chongming shook his head, took a deep breath and said, "The main thing is that our Xiyun Mansion and Cong Yun Mansion have reached a strategic cooperation."
"Otherwise, it would have been impossible for me to borrow the Taotie from Ji Changyun when we were in the Demon Camel Ridge. After all, there is only one of these things."
"Strategic cooperation?"
Mo Yu blinked, and the smile on his face suddenly stopped.
He had just arrived and didn't really know what was happening.
Zuo Chongming nodded and explained with a wry smile: "Yes, the cooperation has been going on for several years. If you don't believe me, just ask around."
"I estimate that at least eight out of ten people know this. This is by no means a deliberate deception by me. After all, it is meaningless."
Mo Yu quickly said: "Master Hou is serious, how can I not believe it?"
Regarding the authenticity of Zuo Chongming's words, he still believed most of them.
Because as Zuo Chongming said, such a major national event cannot be hidden at all, let alone what happened a few years ago. You can know it by just asking.
The most important thing is that if the two did not reach an agreement, how could Ji Changyun be willing to lend him the only Taotie in the world?
Mo Yu's expression changed, and he couldn't help but curse in his mind: "If I had known this, I should have understood the recent situation here first."
Money can't buy it, I already knew it.
Had he known that the two families had joined forces, Mo Yu would never have been so explicit.
"Zuohou..."
Mo Yu narrowed his eyes to test: "My South China Sea Dragon Clan almost dominates the South China Sea. If you and I form an alliance, the benefits we will gain will definitely be greater than..."
Zuo Chongming shook his head and interrupted righteously: "Your Excellency, this is not a question of interest, but a question of integrity."
Integrity?
Sincerely your mother's head!
For people of Zuo Chongming's level, integrity is nothing to them.
If these people were really honest, they would have died in a fucking corner long ago. How would they have the chance to climb to this level?
There are only two possibilities for why this guy said this.
Either they are dissatisfied with the price of the Nanhai Dragon Clan. The current price alone is not enough to make Zuo Chongming and Ji Changyun fall out.
Or, Zuo Chongming actually wanted to agree, but reality did not allow him to agree.
"the latter!"
Mo Yu was determined instantly.
Because as far as he knew, Xiyun Mansion had contacts with many forces in the world.
If Zuo Chongming can stab Ji Changyun today, he will stab others tomorrow. This sense of crisis will inevitably lead to no one doing business with him.
To be continued...
