The Great Yan Emperor passed away, and the princes, vying for the throne, attacked each other. Coupled with a severe drought and a locust plague, refugees were rampant.
To escape the famine a...
"I can't say too much, I can only tell you that this place is now under the jurisdiction of Prince Qi's Mansion."
This place belongs to Prince Qi? That shouldn't be the case. Prince Qi occupied this place, so he shouldn't be able to stop people from entering. Doesn't he always consider himself kind?
Lin Feng was puzzled, so he said, "We are just staying temporarily. We will leave after the situation calms down. If you want money, we can offer a high price."
The man thought for a moment and shook his head. "My orders are to not let anyone in, not even temporarily. Since you have money, I can show you a way out."
"Which way?" Han Shan asked.
"About five miles east of here, there's a manor for sale. The price is not low, but the location and surrounding environment are excellent. There's a ready-made manor fortress there, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the manor is very large, and it can be cultivated and has a water source. Even if it is fully enclosed, it can still achieve self-sufficiency."
After listening to his description, Lin Feng was somewhat tempted. It had a large area, was self-sufficient, and was easy to defend but difficult to attack. But what puzzled him was why such a good place was for sale?
Han Shan asked this question on behalf of Lin Feng.
"It's because a group of bandits appeared nearby, and they were strong and well-armed. Times have changed now, so the owner and his family moved into the ring of mountains to seek refuge."
He continued, "The Qingjian Sect is very famous in the martial arts world. I think you have the means to deal with these matters."
Ordinary people cannot control places where bandits are active. If the bandits get unhappy one day, won’t they be able to slaughter your family and destroy your business in a matter of minutes?
No wonder such a good place is in such a hurry to sell.
"Okay, we want it. Please tell the owner of the manor inside and we will make the deal right away." Lin Feng agreed very readily.
The master often said that fortune and honor are sought in danger. This is a good opportunity. Perhaps other people do not have this ability, but he, Lin Feng, is not afraid. Not to mention Xiao Hei and Han Shan, there is also a baby of the tiger scorpion royal family in the space tower. Its physique is as big as a hill, and it can scare those bandits to death as soon as it comes out.
In the eyes of others, the manor is a dangerous place, but to Lin Feng, it is a blessed place.
"Are you going to buy it?" the man confirmed with him again.
"I've bought it, please hurry up." Lin Feng urged.
"Okay, please wait a moment." After the man said this, he immediately took out a gong from his arms and struck it. After just one strike, a small boat came out of the cave in a short while.
"What's the news?" asked the boatman.
"These people want to buy the Gu family's manor. Go tell him and ask him to come out for a meeting."
"Buy a manor?" The man rowing the boat looked at Lin Feng and his group with a strange expression, as if mocking their stupidity.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go and notify them."
The boatman rowed away, and Lin Feng and his group waited on the spot.
"Little brother, do you really want to buy it?" Han Shan asked.
Lin Feng smiled and nodded, saying, "We've been wandering around and are a little tired. This place has a better environment, and the climate and soil are also acceptable. We might as well stop and rest for a while. If it's suitable, we can settle down here."
Lin Feng was not afraid. He had food and drink in the space tower. As long as he guarded the manor, everyone could live their lives behind closed doors. Besides, his wife was pregnant and the journey was difficult. He was also afraid that something might go wrong. Then, he would regret it. That was his first child!
Lin's father and mother also agreed. They didn't want to leave anymore. Waiting for their grandson to be born peacefully was the most important thing for the whole family at the moment. The safety of their grandson was above everything else.
"Uncle Han, I think your two grandsons have recovered from their illnesses. They also need a stable living environment." Lin Feng said with a smile.
In fact, it is not only Han Shan's family who needs it, but also Xin Liehu and Dazhuzi's family.
Han Shan nodded in agreement. His two grandsons had suffered a lot in the past few days, and he even wanted to die at that time.
Ever since he drank the medicinal tea given to him by Lin Feng, his grandson's illness was cured and the poison was removed. All he had left was to accompany the two little kids to grow up healthily. The two little guys had been without parents since they were young and their lives were really miserable. He swore that as long as he lived, he would never let them suffer any harm again.
As for the baby that Lin Feng's family picked up from the street, there was no way to send him back now, so they had to keep him for now. Alas! After a long time, they had become attached to him, so how could they bear to return him?
After more than half an hour, the small boat that went back to report the news came back with a middle-aged man on board.
After the boat stopped, the middle-aged man got off.
"Are you going to buy my manor?" Patriarch Gu asked straight to the point.
Lin Feng nodded: "Yes."
"Then do you know the situation of the manor?" asked the middle-aged man.
"I'm not sure, just tell me! If it's suitable, we will pay immediately. There is cash in the box on the car." Lin Feng said after pointing to the frame.
"Okay, let me introduce my family's manor. It's located five miles east of here, nestled against the mountains and beside the water. It's a beautiful setting, covering over three hundred acres. There are twenty-five courtyards, large and small, with all the necessary defensive structures, such as walls and fortresses. There are also rockery and flower trees, so the garden blooms year-round. Beyond the manor, there are over one hundred acres of arable land. I wonder if you're satisfied?"
When Lin Feng heard this, he was ecstatic. What a great place! The most anticipated thing was that in addition to such a large manor, there were more than a hundred acres of land outside. The man hadn't mentioned this before, so this was a pleasant surprise.
"How much do you want for such a big manor?" Lin Feng asked. This was the most crucial thing. If he didn't have enough money, then his happiness would be in vain.
The middle-aged man held up two fingers.
"The asking price is 20 million yuan, not more. This is the construction cost of my manor."
Lin Feng and everyone else were stunned. This owner was incredibly wealthy! He spent 20 million just to build a manor? And he didn't even ask for more? Wow! Even if he and the others tore it down and sold it, it wouldn't be worth that much.
Lin Feng estimated in his mind that he only got a bill of exchange worth more than one million from the Liu family, and there were only a few hundred thousand in the cash box, which was won by Xiao Hei at Jingmen Pass. In addition, there were some properties and shops of the Liu family in the fiefdom of King Qi. The land deeds were in his hands, and he didn't know if these were enough.
"Master Gu, let me tell you the truth first. I only have more than one million yuan in cash and bills of exchange, and the rest are deeds to land and shops in King Qi's fiefdom." After saying that, Lin Feng asked Hunter Xin to lift the money box off the carriage.
Then, Lin Feng took out a stack of bills of exchange and land deeds from his arms.
Patriarch Gu frowned, his face somewhat displeased. "You don't have enough money, yet you dare to buy a manor?" What a waste of time! It seems like he has come here for nothing.
"Let me take a look first!" The head of the Gu family took the bill of exchange and land deed handed over by Lin Feng.
