Chapter 27: Banknotes, so many banknotes!
There is naturally a reason why Ang Lee said this.
First, of course, it was to make a name for himself! Although there was an interview with Emperor Qing before, some people in Kyoto were eager to make a move, but for an emperor, wanting to predict his fortune, national destiny, or longevity, people could understand and would not be surprised. But what if one of the four great masters came to Li An for prediction?
That would be a completely different situation! What else could be more appealing to people than this name?
Moreover, Si Gu Jian did not go there by himself, but came to Kyoto, which was very dangerous for him, to ask Li An in person. With this wave of advertising, didn't Li An take off directly?
Secondly, if he came openly, people who knew about it would definitely think that Si Gu Jian would owe Li An a favor, and others, such as Li Yunrui, would have to think twice before trying to take advantage of Li An. Although Li An knew that this was a deal in which both money and goods were paid, others did not think so.
Others would only think that the matter that made Si Gu Jian take the risk to ask must be extremely important to him and involve a lot of things. And Si Gu Jian's status is not something that can be paid for with just gold and silver. That would be too much of an underestimation of the title of Grandmaster!
Finally, let the other party come, no matter what concerns they have, at least it can make Li An safer. If he goes to Dongyi City, he will be a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others. Don't think that Si Gu Jian is a good person, he will not show mercy when killing people, didn't you see him slaughter the city lord's mansion with one sword?
Li An said to Yun Zhilan: "You don't need to know too much, just mention the three words "Ye Qingmei" to your master."
"Do you really know everything?" Yun Zhilan asked.
"Of course, I know more than you think! But everything has a price!"
Yun Zhilan asked uncertainly: "Then what is the price?"
Li An showed a kind smile: "That depends on what questions your master asks. If you want to know everything, the price is half of Dongyi City's wealth!"
Yun Zhilan looked at him as if he was a madman: "You are seriously ill."
Li An nodded: "Maybe, anyway, just tell the truth."
"This time I am not good enough in my skills. I will pass on your words." Yun Zhilan put away his sword and quietly left the bamboo forest. When his figure was about to disappear, he said, "Will you be the fifth master?"
He didn't want to hear the answer, Yun Zhilan had already left.
Li An snorted. Are people in this era so aloof? My level of pretentiousness is indeed a bit far from yours.
I rubbed my chest, circulated my true qi, and moved my qi and blood, and then I felt a little better. This sword almost killed me. I thought it was a petty thief, but he turned the sword tip around and found out that it was a ninth-grade master with extraordinary swordsmanship. Tell me, is this unlucky?
No, didn’t the divination say that today would bring wealth and there would be three guests?
Yun Zhilan didn't pay either! Does the experience gained from the duel count?
Li An guessed a possibility: because of Yun Zhilan, he would get a very considerable fortune, which was invisible and delayed. After figuring it out, Li An opened the system to check.
There were still a few minutes left on Lu Xiaofeng's character card, but the countdown didn't stop. This was a one-time item, and it would be gone after use. Li An secretly felt bad, as this Lu Xiaofeng character card was so useful. You know, most people in this world use swords, and with the "telepathic finger" like the law of cause and effect, their safety would be greatly improved.
I don't have any more cards to play now, I have to be careful. I shook my head and checked my experience bar. I was shocked when I saw it!
At this time, the experience points of Tyrannical Skills and Wind God Legs increased significantly:
Domineering Qi LV7: 10665/5!
Wind God Leg LV8: 7629/5!
Ang Lee smiled knowingly, with enlightenment in his heart.
This life-and-death contest with a master seems to be a huge improvement for a warrior. Li Ang was not wrong here. In the original work, Fan Xian was like this.
After fighting all the way, in just a few years, he grew from the lower eighth rank to the upper ninth rank.
Do you think Fan Xian practiced very hard?
That's not the case. Ever since Fan Xian entered Kyoto, he has been plagued by troubles and has been unable to take care of himself.
He was constantly on the move, and the reason he could grow so quickly was, on the one hand, because his martial arts were indeed extraordinary, and on the other hand, because Fan Xian had experienced too many life-and-death crises.
If he wasn't the protagonist, the grass on his grave would be enough to cook a pot of vegetables. After figuring out everything, looking at the broken bamboo forest, I can only say sorry to the owner of this forest. It's impossible to compensate, you can call Yaoyaoling and sue me for hit-and-run.
Dragging his slightly aching body, he quickly left the scene while no one else arrived, and used his Qinggong skills to return home.
After another night of practice, Li An, whose injuries had completely recovered, opened his eyes.
"This kind of practice is still not as good as sleep. This true energy is overbearing, but it does not have the combination of hardness and softness like the techniques in the books of the previous life. Perhaps this is the reason why this technique cannot become a top-level technique? Perhaps it needs the cooperation of other techniques to achieve a better breakthrough to the Grandmaster level."
Li An was just thinking about something when there was a knock on the door.
When Li An changed his clothes and came to the gate of the courtyard, he heard a lot of noise outside and hurriedly opened the door to take a look.
I saw many servants standing outside, and judging by their clothes, there were several groups of people mixed together.
"What can I do for you?" Li An asked.
At this time, several people came up to greet him, and one of them said, "Sir, I am here on the orders of my lord, the Crown Prince, to deliver something to you."
The other two also nodded.
"I am here on the orders of His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
"I am here on the orders of the eldest princess."
Li An was overjoyed, but his face remained calm: "Move in." He then moved aside.
Upon hearing this, the three leaders ordered their men to carry the boxes into the yard.
After the inventory is completed, everyone says goodbye and leaves.
Li An closed the door and was secretly surprised. The eldest prince and the second prince were fine, but why was the eldest princess giving me this?
He went forward and opened the boxes one by one. First, the two boxes sent by the prince, which contained a total of 100,200 taels of silver and banknotes, exactly the right amount.
How come there are both zeros and integers? Can't you just add a little to make it an integer? Li An secretly cursed at being stingy.
After putting the things into the space, he opened several boxes sent by the second prince, which contained a total of 210,000 taels of silver and silver notes.
Looking at the white scene in front of him, Li An was stunned. This was more lethal than Yun Zhilan's sword last night!
I’m rich, I’m really rich this time!
Li An slurped his saliva. This Li Chengze even gave him a whole number. Just for this reason, he was better than the prince! Should I tell him that his teammates were actually the prince's men and make some money from him?
He shook his head, put all the things into the space, calmed himself down, and walked towards the remaining box.
This is something that should be treated with caution. Could it be that this lunatic has a broad mind? He sent someone to kill me yesterday but failed, so today he sent someone to bring this box of silver to show his goodwill?
If that was true, Li An would have thought of asking the princess to send more people to kill him.
Knowing in his heart that it wouldn't be that simple, Li Ang opened the box.
Gold, all gold!
What a visual impact! Li Yunrui! You know how to give gifts!
I've decided to make you my friend!
