Clash Of The Sword Titans

Chapter 720: The price of secrets

It's like chatting between friends, Lu Li's tone is not rushing, he doesn't mean anything threatening, and he even hides a bit of a smile. But no one present, including Tan Long who pretended to be non-existent, would really think that Lu Li was joking.

Zhang Zhiming only felt that he was being stared at by some horrible existence, and couldn't help lowering his head, without responding for a long while.

But Baye Hou cleared his throat and smiled and said, "Ms. Lu, I am afraid that Patriarch Zhang still doesn't understand your temper. There are some things that he can't figure out for the time being. It's not strange to those who don't know."

"So, the old man has a proposal, I don't know what Manager Lu wants."

Hearing Hou Baye's words, Lu Li turned his gaze and glanced at him, then nodded and said, "Let's talk."

Hou Baye was a little frightened by this look, his original plan suddenly changed, and he reconsidered and said: "As you said, everything has its value. If you want to get something, you have to pay. Some price, this is a very good trading rule. Neither the Hou family nor I have any opinion on this. The Master Zhang may not be able to accept it at the moment, but this matter may not have no room for change."

While considering the use of words, he was also thinking about how to put forward a more reasonable, or more ‘Lu Li’ approach.

Originally, Baye Hou just wanted to blow Zhang Zhiming's arrogance and get some benefits from it.

Because he knew very well that, in addition to stability, what Lu Li really wanted was the secrets held by each family, the secrets that might make the situation turbulent and change things.

As for the resources that no one has in Yanzhou at present, Lu Li may not have taken it seriously.

However, Hou Baye saw a different taste in the eyes of Lu Li just now.

It's like having an insight into what you think in your heart and seeing through everything in your eyes.

So Baye Hou hurriedly changed the'plan' in his heart, and said carefully, "I think, for the sake of fairness, it is better to let Manager Lu divide the industries into three parts. Regardless of their value, after the disruption, Manager Lu will choose. Part of it is used as the'compensation' of the Yanwang Mansion. For the rest, we can extract one of the secrets that Manager Lu wants. No matter what we get, it depends on God’s will. There will be nothing in between. Human interference will not use any unfairness."

"It can avoid fighting and at the same time solve the biggest problem at the moment."

"The specific results will be witnessed by Mr. Lu."

"I don't know if this arrangement is satisfactory, Manager Lu and Patriarch Zhang are still satisfied?"

Speaking of the end, Hou Baye even owed Lu Li, and Zhang Zhiming frowned.

Although the lord of the dignified Hou family can only be regarded as half, he also represents the face of the Hou family anyway. He is also a strong man at the peak of Mingyou. He actually bowed his knees in front of Lu Li. This look is too ugly.

Zhang Zhiming squinted, although he was extremely disdainful of Hou Baye, he did not show it on his face, but seriously considered Hou Baye's proposal.

In the end, I found that although this proposal was somewhat aimed at me, it was fair overall.

Apart from asking Lu Li to divide the resources that were not under the control of Yanzhou into three parts and leave one for him alone, this proposal was full of flattering meaning. But Zhang Zhiming also had to admit that the old fox did have his uniqueness, and the vacant part in Yanzhou was too large. Whether it was the Hou or Zhang family, even if they had the intention to swallow it, they absolutely did not have this ability.

Because there are other aristocratic families in Yanzhou, those families that were not targeted by Lu Li were temporarily deterred and were afraid to jump out to look for things at the moment when the Yan Palace divided the fruits of victory, but this did not mean that they could sit back and watch the Hou family and Zhang family take advantage of the benefits. Exhausted.

In other words, although the Hou family and Zhang family can eat to their heart's content and ate their mouths greasy, besides them, many people are staring at this piece of fat and waiting for Lu Li's attitude.

This is also the biggest worry in Zhang Zhiming's heart.

Once he overdos things, Lu Li can kick the Zhang family out and switch to a more obedient family to share the fruit.

Now Baye Hou puts forward this suggestion. First, let Lu Li and Prince Yan’s Mansion take away a large part of it, and then the two of them will exchange the remaining part in a “secret” exchange. Then the two parties will join forces with the acquiescence of Prince Yan’s Mansion. On the contrary, it is more rewarding than the current chaotic competition.

At the very least, those ‘idiots’ who hide in the dark and observe the situation with greed in their eyes will no longer have any chance to intervene.

These thoughts circled in Zhang Zhiming's mind, and he nodded, "I don't think there is a problem."

After saying this, he also glanced at Lu Li, waiting for Lu Li's reply.

Lu Li seemed to be enjoying the performance, his deeper eyes swept over the two of them, and after watching it back and forth several times, he smiled and raised his hand and said, "Baye's proposal is very interesting, I don't think there is any problem."

After all, Lu Li said to Tan Long, "You heard what Ba Ye said?"

Tan Long responded immediately: "I heard it."

"Then go to General Manager Ge and make a jade slip of the current'situation' in Yanzhou."

"I want to play a game with these two."

While speaking, Lu Li's body leaned forward slightly, this action made Zhang Zhiming and Hou Baye both look straight.

Tan Long respectfully said: "No problem, Master Lu."

He stepped through the sight of the two ‘big men’, and the anxiety in his heart had long since turned into unspeakable excitement.

If it weren't for fear of delaying Lu Li's affairs, he would wish to show off to Shi Yan now, my Lao Tan is also able to participate in such important events!

Forcibly suppressing this impulse, Tan Long twitched his mouth slightly, restraining his smile, but his footsteps were a lot lighter, he quickly left the living room, ready to meet Ge Xinyue.

The atmosphere became silent again.

However, compared with the previous depressed feeling, Hou Baye and Zhang Zhiming at this moment are a little relaxed.

During this period of time, they are more or less worried.

After the great purge that night, Lu Li had disappeared.

Hiding in King Yan's Mansion for seventeen days, he didn't see anyone, and they couldn't even send their greetings into the mansion.

If it weren't for worrying about Lu Li's future "settling the bill," Hou Baye and Zhang Zhiming might not be able to resist greed.

"Fortunately."

Realizing that Lu Li is now more ‘horrifying’ than before, Hou Baye couldn’t stop this idea from appearing in his heart.

Not only him, but even Zhang Zhiming has a feeling of "aftermath".

After all, Zhang Zhiming had more ideas and more secrets than Hou Baye.

In those days before, he might not have had the idea of ​​kicking away the Yan Palace.

Although it now seems that those ideas are somewhat taken for granted. But it is precisely because of this that Zhang Zhiming is even more grateful that he has not done anything for it, nor has he shown any clues.

Apart from silence and rejoicing, Zhang Zhiming has already begun to figure out what ‘secret’ he should use to exchange those benefits.

The most valuable secret in his hands, and the most interesting secret for Lu Li, is the relevant information of his teacher.

But Zhang Zhiming still didn't know what exactly Lu Li had found, or what he had noticed.

And how should I respond? What unimportant information should be handed over to protect the real ‘secret’ without causing Lu Li’s suspicion?

"Patriarch Zhang, why bother so much?"

"It's better to ask your teacher out to talk to me. I can talk to him directly about specific matters."

Just as Zhang Zhiming was thinking about it, Lu Li, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly spoke, as if he had mentioned something that had nothing to do with him.

But the hidden content in that sentence made Zhang Zhiming's back chill, showing an expression of unbelievable expression, and even asked a little gaffe: "How do you...how did you know?"

After asking this question, Zhang Zhiming's heart screamed, knowing that he was completely exposed.

Maybe Lu Li was just a guess before, but now he can basically confirm something.

"I said that secrets have their costs."

Facing Zhang Zhiming who was suddenly silent, Lu Li tapped his temple with a finger and smiled.

But in those deep eyes, it seems like a terrible monster sleeping, once awakened, it will swallow everything!
