What that means is, I'll give you five thousand taels of gold and the matter will be over.
"Five thousand taels? You're sending away beggars, right?"
However, faced with the number given by Chen Tian, Sima Xiba became furious. The teacup in his hand fell heavily on the table, and he glared at Chen Tian.
Chen Tian was shocked by his action, and his heart became gloomy.
If you weren't the son of the Minister of Personnel, I wouldn't be giving you these five thousand taels!
I gave you the money purely to save face for Lord Sima, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and you actually think it's too little?
If it weren't for your father, who would treat you as a dish?
"Eleven thousand taels, not a cent less!"
Sima Xiba snorted coldly, there was no room for negotiation!
His eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity, "I want to see the money tomorrow. If not, tomorrow, the secret of you, Chen Tian, hiring someone to kill someone will reach the ears of the head of your Chen family!"
Hearing this, Chen Tian was shocked and angry!
This made him so furious that he even had the urge to strangle Sima Xiba to death!
But he didn't dare!
After all, he is the son of the Minister of Personnel!
And he, Chen Tian, is just a descendant of the Chen family's side branch.
In terms of noble status, although he is a member of the Chen family, he is no match for Sima Xiba!
So now, people are threatening him directly and he has no way to deal with it.
"Sima, calm down, let's talk it over. I'll give you the 11,000 taels of gold."
Even though his back teeth were about to break, Chen Tian did not dare to get angry. Instead, he licked Sima Xiba's face and coaxed him.
"Humph, I don't know how to explain to my father the destruction of Jinfeng Village. Eleven thousand taels of gold, do you think I want too much?"
Sima Xiba snorted coldly, "Even if you give me another 20,000 taels, it won't make up for my loss!"
"If we don't agree, there's no need to talk too much. You'd better take care of yourself!"
After Sima Xiba finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned away without giving Chen Tian a chance to continue speaking.
As for the 11,000 taels of gold, he didn't believe that Chen Tian would dare not give it to him, so he would send it to his house tomorrow.
"I'm so angry, I'm so angry!"
Seeing Sima Xiba completely walked out of the door and disappeared, Chen Tian dared to cover his heart and curse loudly.
"A scoundrel, a rogue, a complete bastard, a bandit!"
"Other people don't charge a penny and return everything when they can't get the job done, but this bastard actually wants me to compensate him with 11,000 taels! This is simply too much!"
The key point is that he was bullied by others and he had no way to deal with it.
"Damn Chen Xuan, it's all your fault, damn kid!"
Suddenly, he transferred all his hatred to Chen Xuan.
If Chen Xuan had died immediately, none of this would have happened!
"Do you think that you can survive safely in the borderland after escaping the assassination attempt by Jinfeng Village? I tell you, this is wishful thinking!"
"You have to pay for making me spend so much money!"
"Someone come!"
Chen Tian shouted loudly, and several servants immediately ran in and knelt down.
At this time, all the servants were trembling with fear and did not dare to look up at Chen Tian. They all knew that he was in a bad mood and were afraid that Chen Tian would take his anger out on them.
"Prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I need a letter. Even if Chen Xuan can cross Bandit Mountain and reach the border, I will make sure he can't survive there!"
Chen Tian gritted his teeth and gave the order.
at the same time.
As the sun sets, a bright moon slowly rises, and its moonlight is like water, sprinkling on the earth.
Chen Xuan's convoy was driving inside the Bandit Mountain.
It was still a horse-drawn carriage carrying Li Xiuning and the others.
Chen Xuan rode a horse and Yang Ying'er also rode a horse. The situation was similar to when they set out from the capital. The only difference was that all the men in Ping'an Escort Agency were dead, leaving only Yang Ying'er, a woman.
"Liufeng is ahead, and there is a Liufeng village on the top of the mountain."
Chen Xuan knew that Yang Ying'er was in a bad mood. Although she didn't show it, it was obvious that the shadow of her father's death had always loomed over her.
So, along the way, Chen Xuan kept looking for topics to chat with Yang Ying'er.
Fortunately, Yang Ying'er is not the kind of person who is taciturn. She will respond to whatever Chen Xuan says.
"Tell me, will those bandits in Liufeng Village be very dissatisfied with you? After all, you defeated their leader by ambushing him. Will they ambush us like the bandits in Jinfeng Village?"
Yang Ying'er looked at the towering Liufeng Mountain and couldn't help but speak.
Chen Xuan immediately said angrily: "What do you mean I defeated their boss because of a sneak attack? I clearly won fair and square, okay?"
Yang Ying'er curled her lips and said, "That's because he underestimated the enemy and was careless. Think about it carefully. If he didn't use that huge heavy knife to chop you, making his body clumsy, would it be so easy for you to strangle him?"
There is some truth in what he said.
After all, when a person holds a heavy weapon in his hand, it will slow down his speed.
It is undeniable that Liu Jinyu was indeed dragged down by the big knife at that time.
However, Chen Xuan's Dragon Claw Hand is a high-level Xuan-level martial art, and it is not something that can be easily defeated. Even if Liu Jinyu did not have a heavy sword, Chen Xuan could still defeat him, it would just be a little more troublesome.
Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and An Ruxue revealed her fair face.
"Miss An, what's up?"
Chen Xuan looked at her with a smile.
This person is the ancestor. Chen Xuan would not dare to offend her no matter who he is. After all, her favorability value can drop by dozens at once.
Up to now, her favorability towards Chen Xuan is still negative.
The system has already said that if the favorability reaches a value of ?200, the system will directly erase his consciousness.
So whenever Chen Xuan faced her, he had to force a smile.
An Ruxue glanced at Chen Xuan. For some reason, she felt that Chen Xuan's smile looked a little fake.
But she didn't say much about this, but frowned and said, "There is someone in front."
"Um?"
Chen Xuan was startled and immediately looked forward. Although it was night, the moonlight shone on the earth, so it was not dark and he could still see the road.
In Chen Xuan's sight, the front was empty, with only trees and stones, but no one.
“No one.”
Yang Ying'er spoke in confusion.
However, even though he said this, he was already on guard in his heart.
After all, when they first entered the Bandit Mountain and were ambushed by One-Eyed Dragon and his men, they didn't see anyone.
An Ruxue said in a deep voice: "I can feel that there is a group of people in front of us. They are very large and they are not moving!"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan's heart sank and he immediately took it seriously.
An Ruxue is a disciple of the Snow Sword Sect, and a core disciple at that. Chen Xuan didn't know how strong she was before she was injured, but she was definitely stronger than he is now!
What's more, there is no need for An Ruxue to lie.
So, there must be someone in front as she said!
So, who is in front?
