Chapter 123 The price of salt has risen one after another, and the emerald tiger is complacent
The bet officially came into effect, and the time passed day by day.
The price of refined salt has risen wildly, as if it does not stop, and the growth trend continues and is stable. The price rises by one gold every day, and it has been fired by the Emerald Tiger to eighteen gold a catty.
Temporary other courtyard, reception hall.
Li Changqing sat cross-legged, enjoying the fine wine.
In the past few days, he only did three things.
The first thing is to teach Zi Nu, Hong Lian, and Nong Yu the martial arts.
The second thing is to practice the Innate Qiankun Kungfu to improve and control the realm.
The third thing is to pay close attention to the price changes of refined salt in the market.
The wooden door was pushed open, and a charming lady in purple clothes walked into the hall. The purple girl said dissatisfied: "The price of refined salt has risen again. Now it has risen to eighteen gold, and the price has been sky-high."
"What about your trick, why haven't you used it yet?"
Li Changqing had a calm face, his facial features were like jade, elegant and handsome, he waved his long sleeves, and said with a smile: "Miss Zi Nu, don't worry, I have sent Qi Jue Tang and Kuang Feng Sect disciples to Baiyue to look for Baiyue salt merchants."
"you…"
Zi Nu was annoyed: "You clearly know that the Baiyue salt merchants are just a cover."
"Although I have a general idea of your plan. But you have to know that shopping malls are like battlefields, and they are also ever-changing, and opportunities are fleeting."
"So, if you want to make a move, you have to do it as soon as possible."
Li Changqing looked at Zi Nu and said with a slight smile, "Are you worried about me?"
"I..." Zi Nu was stunned.
Li Changqing suddenly said: "Here we come!"
The next moment, the two looked at the side door of the hall at the same time. Through the side door, they saw the open-air courtyard.
In the courtyard, there is already a person standing, it is Wei Zhuang.
Wei Zhuang flew over, dressed in black like night, with a straight body, long hair bound by a turban, a foot of white hair draped over his shoulders, a pair of sword eyebrows as white as frost and snow, and sharp eyes.
Li Changqing and Zi Nu walked side by side, walked out of the side door of the hall, and came to the open-air courtyard.
At a certain moment, flames fell from the sky in the courtyard, and red fire iron chains shot towards the sky one by one. The iron chains were connected to a big tripod. The tripod fell from the sky and suddenly landed.
In the sky, two slogans came:
"Iron is for faith, blood is for righteousness. In the formation of iron and blood, there is death but not life."
The red fire iron chain was withdrawn with a crash, a crash, leaving only a big red cauldron, which was still burning, and the flames rose.
Two figures appeared, wearing iron-blooded armor, the armor spread all over the body, wearing masks to cover their faces, the two figures were stable, with a long breath, exuding the aura of the peak of the ninth rank.
Wei Zhuang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in his heart: "What a Jagged alliance, it is said that every time there is a bet of more than [-] gold, one or more peak warriors of the ninth rank will be dispatched."
"Two shots at once today, it seems that the Jagged Alliance is indeed amazing."
Li Changqing walked forward with his hands behind his back.
One of them said, "Li Shaoxia, today is the fifth day of the bet between you and Jade Tiger. According to the agreement, you have to pay a thousand gold."
The bets are placed in batches. Li Changqing needs to pay [-] bets for the first five days, [-] bets for the second [-] days, and the remaining [-] bets for the third [-] days.
Li Changqing said with a smile: "The betting money has already been prepared."
"Come on, carry it up."
Li Changqing clapped his hands, and the two young and strong embraced a wooden box each.
The two heavy wooden boxes were put down, and the lids were opened. The glittering gold caught people's eyes, and a huge sum of one thousand gold was presented.
The two Jagged Alliance disciples clasped their fists together and said, "Shaoxia Li really believes me, I'll take my leave."
They were very polite to Li Changqing, because a Zizijing, a descendant of Guigu, even the Jagged Alliance would not want to be an enemy of such a proud swordsman.
Li Changqing kept his promise and gave the betting money, and the two breathed a sigh of relief.
The red fire iron chain appeared again, rattling, the iron chain tied the wooden box and the huge tripod, and left with the big tripod and the gambling money, but no trace was found.
Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.
Yan Lingji also arrived at this time, with a graceful figure, her jade hands lightly brushed her hair, and her beautiful eyes asked curiously: "I'm curious, when will you fight back?"
Li Changqing smiled and shook his right hand lightly: "The counterattack has actually begun."
"Oh!?" Everyone looked curious.
-
In the General's Mansion, Ji Wuye and Jade Tiger sat opposite each other, drinking and chatting.
Ji Wuye sneered, "I heard that the Jagged Alliance has already made a move. I really want to see the faces of Li Changqing and Han Fei at this moment."
"Hey..." Jade Tiger echoed with a smile, "That must be very interesting."
"Two young men, one is a prince of the royal family, and the other is a swordsman. They don't know the art of merchants. They just drank a few glasses of strong wine. After drinking hard, they couldn't save face. Under the smug spirit, they sneaked into their subordinates. Set up a deadly gamble."
"They had no chance of winning from the start."
The Emerald Tiger laughed and said: "This time, not only can I earn a huge sum of money, but also make Quicksand lose money. It's really a good deal."
Ji Wuye frowned and said, "However, the spies under his command came to report, and Li Changqing sent many disciples of Qijuetang and Kuangfengmen to the south of Baiyue to find those salt merchants."
Emerald Tiger said confidently: "Don't worry, General, Quicksand is destined to return empty-handed. Mo Crow and Bai Feng have already killed all the Baiyue salt merchants, but it's a pity that the refined salt refiner is also dead."
Hearing this, Ji Wuye snorted coldly: "Hmph, these two wastes have always failed in their missions recently."
Emerald Tiger commented: "Although that is the case, what Hou Ye said is also true. It is quite rare to find a loyal and capable hunting dog like them."
Ji Wuye snorted coldly, "That's why I spared their lives."
Holding the wine bottle high, and drinking a glass of wine, Ji Wuye said: "Tiger, it depends on your means."
Emerald Tiger stood up, smiled triumphantly and said, "Please wait for the good news, General."
After a while, Emerald Tiger walked out of the general's mansion, humming a ditty tune with a contented expression on his face, his pumpkin-shaped belly trembled and his gait was light.
"Li Changqing, Han Fei, Wei Zhuang... This time, I, the Emerald Tiger, will tell you a truth. You will pay a huge price for underestimating businessmen."
"Beating someone doesn't necessarily mean killing him. Sometimes, it's even more desperate to let them lose their money and get into huge debts. Mr. Jing Lun is your best example."
As time passed day by day, the price of refined salt increased one after another, but did not fall back at all.
Eighteen gold per catty, nineteen gold per catty, twenty gold...25 gold...28 gold, 29 gold, thirty gold.
On the 14th day, the price of refined salt has skyrocketed, selling at [-] gold a catty. Every day, businessmen from all over the world line up to the store under the name of Emerald Tiger to snap up the daily limited sale of [-] catties of refined salt.
In the early morning of this day, Emerald Tiger finished washing, ate exquisite cakes, and was in a good mood, wearing brocade clothes.
Emerald Tiger looked smug, and said with a smile to himself: "Li Changqing, Han Fei, tomorrow is the 15th day of the bet; today's salt price continues to rise, and you will definitely lose."
"You have lost this bet from the very beginning."
At this time, the butler came in a hurry, bowed and said, "Master, it's not good. The price of refined salt has dropped."
"what?"
Emerald Tiger looked confused and shocked, and asked: "What did you say, the price of salt has dropped?"
"How did the price of salt fall?"
