471: C471 Confrontation

C471 Confrontation

Prime Minister Qiu quickly told them the details of his men.

He repeated the entire process in detail.

This was because Xiao Yun was obviously not satisfied.

He frowned.

He said, "The things that happened on the surface have been relayed. But those are not the most important things. The most important things are... Not a single word... Elder, if you expect these people to solve this case, I'm afraid... it will be difficult, and you will be tired for nothing."

Prime Minister Qiu was stunned for a moment, and asked in puzzlement, "Is there anything wrong with it?"

"It is not wrong, but it was missed."

"There are some things that they did not see?"

"No, they did. It's just that they didn't notice it."

"This..."

Prime Minister Qiu didn't understand.

The experts outside were a little unhappy.

One of them even muttered in a low voice, "Pretending to be mysterious and talking nonsense."

How good was Xiao Yun's hearing?

Not only him, even an old man like Prime Minister Qiu could hear it.

Prime Minister Qiu's expression instantly turned ugly.

Xiao Yun only smiled and said, "Who is making noise outside? I don't remember people in the martial arts world. They are all people who have been talked about by their enemies."

The man outside was provoked and immediately cupped his hands towards the carriage and said, "Elder, this subordinate thinks. Yes!"

Prime Minister Qiu said angrily, "Impudent!"

Outsiders did not know what kind of position Xiao Yun held in Qin Country.

Therefore, they often had the misconception that Xiao Yun couldn't be compared to him in terms of status and authority.

That was why their subordinates dared to say such words.

Xiao Yun, however, did not mind and said, "Then come up."

Prime Minister Qiu was still cursing just now, but in the next moment, he sighed and said, "You can come in and wait for Young Master Xiao to speak."

That person from the Jianghu was excited for a moment, so he didn't notice the details.

Or rather, the people from the Jianghu around the carriage did not have the ability to hear and understand.

However, Prime Minister Qiu's servants heard it clearly.

Prime Minister Qiu was transmitting a message.

In this carriage, the one who truly counted was Xiao Yun, not his honorable Pavilion Elder!

When that person from the pugilistic world entered the carriage, even if he knelt down, he looked at his hair bun that was not too far away from the roof of the carriage.

He was indeed much taller than Xiao Yun.

"What's your name?"

Xiao Yun asked calmly.

"I am Cui Hengshan. I used to be the Third Head of the Southern Lake Water Stronghold. Now, I have abandoned the darkness and joined the light. I have become the disciple of the pavilion master, and I have made a name for myself in the martial world with the eighteen saber techniques that I inherited from my family. All the heroes praised me and gave me the title of Southern Lake Ganxian. Greetings, Young Master Xiao, Saint Xiao!"

Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes.

The other party's words were arrogant.

However, Xiao Yun wasn't angry.

The shadow of a man's name, the figure of a famous figure in the pugilistic world, was not an ordinary person.

Even in a corner, a guy with a low reputation might jump out and defeat Badao with one sword attack.

Things in the martial arts world were very complicated.

It was not that one should have the highest status if one's martial arts skills were the highest.

That view was too childish.

In the martial arts world, there were often people who were revered by tens of thousands of people, but they didn't have any martial arts skills at all. If they touched him, it would be no different than poking a hornet's nest.

Why was that so?

Because of his reputation!

For Cui Hengshan to be able to obtain the word 'immortal' in his nickname, it was likely that his actions in the past were biased towards the righteous path, and everyone was rather convinced.

Nodding his head, Xiao Yun said with a smile, "I heard you say some things about me from below. Is that true?"

Cui Hengshan steeled his heart and said, "I'm the one who should take responsibility for what I do!"

After saying that, Prime Minister Qiu was so angry that he laughed.

There was even a guy outside the carriage who wished he could go in and stab him to death.

This was because he was clearly telling everyone that he wasn't the only one who said this. There were even people who said it. It made people even angrier. This guy didn't even realize it and felt that he was especially righteous!

Xiao Yun finally understood the meaning of the word 'immortal'.

This... He was a capable man!

With his brain, if he hadn't killed more than a dozen people, he would have wasted his time in the martial arts world.

Xiao Yun could not hold back his laughter. He rubbed his head, then turned to the people outside the carriage and said, "Who else is making noise? Come in. Don't let me investigate. The consequences are very serious."

A simple 'very heavy' was really not something they could bear.

It was even more terrifying than death.

Immediately, a person jumped onto the carriage and entered in an orderly manner.

He hurriedly knelt down, cupped his hands, and even took advantage of the opportunity to kowtow.

"My name is Han San. Greetings, my lord."

He was not stupid.

He would not ask Xiao Yun to be Young Master Xiao or Saint Xiao.

If he wasn't a powerful person, who would dare call him these two names?

He couldn't even mention family names.

He had violated a taboo.

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "What kind of nickname do you have in the Pugilistic World?"

"This..."

Han San's face was slightly red.

After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "Wooden donkey."

"What?! Female donkey?"

"It's wood from wood, my lord."

"Oh... Ah? "

Xiao Yun was shocked.

He looked down at his waist and legs.

Han San hurriedly knelt down to fix the work.

Xiao Yun touched his nose and coughed twice.

Then he said, "Since you all say that this young master is speaking nonsense, then let this young master ask you, who is the owner of the teahouse?"

The two of them were stunned at the same time.

Cui Xianer said directly, "It is the owner."

Feeling that something was wrong, she added, "The tea seller is to brew tea and sell it to passersby."

Han San glared at Cui Xian-er.

He secretly cursed himself for picking a fight with this fellow!

This is my cheap mouth!

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Then if I say that the shop owner is actually from Moonlight Tavern, do you believe me?"

The two of them shook their heads almost at the same time.

Of course not!

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "You saw me chatting with him and memorizing the general words, but have you thought about all the contents of the conversation?"

"This..."

The two of them looked at each other.

Obviously not.

Xiao Yun continued, "I suspect him not because he doesn't want me to see that building. It was because his words were somewhat contradictory, which seemed to be deliberate. He was trying to make me believe that he was just a teahouse owner, and everything he did. It was all too deliberate, saying that he didn't know anything at all. The second part was that he told me everything that happened in Moonlight Tavern. There was no problem with his words at that time. Previously, it was a store owner who was afraid of an unfamiliar young master. I was worried and vigilant, so I was very careful. After that, I asked him about it. I have to show the qualities of a teahouse employee, which is to ask around for everything. I know everything, but it's just a superficial part. It made you feel like you heard something incredible, but in fact, there was nothing at all. He had done all of this very well, and he knew what to do. But... it's a contradiction."2

"This..."

The two of them looked at each other again.

They did not understand.

They were not the only ones who did not understand this kind of thing that involved psychology. Even Prime Minister Qiu, who was beside them, could not understand it.

Xiao Yun sighed and suddenly reached into his embrace. He took out two small gold ingots and threw them into their arms.

"It's your reward."

"Ah?"

"What?!"

"This..."

Including Prime Minister Qiu, the three of them had lively expressions on their faces.

Surprise, confusion, curiosity, shock and... eyes popping out. Golden light!

Especially these two people from the pugilistic world.

Cui Xian-er directly raised it up and weighed it in her hand. After which, she placed it in her mouth and bit it. Only then did she exclaim in surprise. ... "Is this really gold?"

Han San glared at him again.

However, his expression was also filled with joy.

He held up the gold ingot, not daring to put it away.

He carefully asked: "Sir, this is... why did you give us the gold ingot?"

Xiao Yun spread his hands and said, "Look, this is the reaction of normal people. Because of the gold ingot. There are very few gold that are currently circulating in the market, and they are also very valuable. If there is really gold, it is either exchanged for gold bills. Or hide it, wait for it to continue to rise, but very few people take it out to trade "

He turned to look at Prime Minister Qiu and continued, "It's worth money, but it's become rare. I haven't seen it for a long time. So even if it's two fellows with some reputation in the martial arts world, they will still be rewarded by this gold ingot. You will also have such a complicated mind, and you will even doubt whether I want to reward you or not. What exactly am I going to do? Take this gold ingot... Whether or not I have to pay a price... various thoughts would appear in his mind, and from there, his expression would appear. In terms of behavior, this is the shock of gold."

Prime Minister Qiu's brows tightly knitted together.

Xiao Yun said, "On the other hand, the owner of the teahouse was also very surprised. There was even a look of ecstasy on his face, but it shouldn't be like this. Why didn't he have that kind of shock and worry? There was a possibility that they were experienced and knowledgeable about gold. More importantly, they knew me and knew that this gold was nothing to me. They were willing to reward me just like that. They didn't need to feel any psychological burden. But... Elder, think about it, in a small teahouse in a corner... How could the people inside know me?"
