Chapter 274 Meet in Person
"You're just thinking about my money!" Ji Wuyin accused.
Xue Xu choked, "I'm doing this for your own good. Don't take my kindness for granted."
"I just want to ask you if you are thinking about my money?!"
Xue Xu was so angry that he simply admitted, "Yes, what's wrong with me missing your money?!"
"You really are thinking about my money!"
Xue Xu was speechless. It was true that he was thinking about his money, but that didn't stop him from thinking about him.
"Do you understand a win-win situation? A sale is a two-way street. If one party takes advantage of the other and wipes out all the benefits and profits, leaving the other party with no benefits or profits at all, there won't be a deal. As a businessman yourself, don't you understand this principle?"
Ji Wuyin asked in surprise, "Great, you old man, have you learned how to do business?" He had a lot of business skills.
It was undeniable that he strongly agreed with what he said. Only after leaving the other party with enough profit to make him happy, could the deal be continued.
Could Xue Xu tell him that it was the Sixth Madam who said this, and that he was just learning and applying it? But the principle was the same.
"You are the famous richest man in the South. Are you sure that the people you fed before can guarantee you a safe life?"
Ji Wuyin said nothing.
Xue Xu continued, "I urge you to join the Sixth Madam for two reasons. First, I feel that the Sixth Madam is extraordinary, and I want to bring you aboard."
"Secondly, I think it's better not to put all your eggs in one basket. Invest separately so that when the crisis comes, you can always find a way out."
Anyway, Ji Wuyin has to give out so much money every year to bribe people. Instead of giving it to others, it is better to give it to the Sixth Madam!
Ji Wuyin's eyes rolled, "Your words don't count. I want to see the person in person."
Seeing is believing, hearing is not. Even though he trusted his friend's judgment, he still wanted to meet the person in person before deciding how much to invest.
"Okay." Xue Xu agreed without saying anything.
It's good that he's willing to meet people. Let the Sixth Madam handle the rest. I'm tired. It'll also let this stubborn old man experience the Sixth Madam's power.
Ji Wuyin: Anyway, he won’t release the eagle until he sees the rabbit.
It’s not that he looks down on women, but women are indeed more likely to indulge in love.
He was over fifty years old and had seen many outstanding women praised by the world. Many of them made choosing a good husband their life goal. They obeyed their fathers at home, their husbands after marriage, and their sons after their husbands died. All they did was to provide assistance to men and help them ascend to high positions.
Even if they were ladies from high-class families, their training would be to become the mistress of the family, and never the master.
Xue Xu had a different view on his old friend's doubts, "Sixth Madam is not that kind of person." Indulging in love? She wouldn't.
"Just look at her methods and attitude towards Xie Zhan. At the time, Xie Zhan should have been better than Qin Sheng, but once the marriage was changed, Xie Zhan said no and she didn't want to do it. She said she would deal with him and she would deal with him."
"She is rational and decisive enough to be ruthless to others and to herself."
He participated in the Houcheng negotiations this time and had a more intuitive feeling.
"Sixth Madam is a very proactive woman. When she encounters an opportunity, she will seize it without hesitation. Even if there is no opportunity, she will find a way to create it."
Ji Wuyin smacked his lips again. Many women just accept what is given to them.
Women are gentle and usually able to endure. Sometimes they can no longer endure it, but they can still endure it for the sake of their children and parents.
How could Lu Songli, a woman, be so aggressive and invasive?
However, Lu Songli's identity as Mrs. Qin Liu has both advantages and troubles.
"One more thing, have you noticed that you are so clearly supporting Lu Songli as your leader? What is the attitude of the other masters of the Qin family?"
"Whose will is the main force behind your small group?"
Ji Wuyin felt that if there were two voices within a group, it would be very dangerous. He had always believed that his new master was the Prince of Qin, which showed that there was a problem.
This is the limitation brought by Lu Songli's identity as a woman. If she were a man, these problems would not exist at all.
Of course he understood this principle, but now they were just starting out and it was time for them to unite and work together.
Xue Xu said calmly, "Things will work out when the time comes. Madam Six will find a way."
When that time really came, Xue Xu's eyes darkened...
Skull Village, Wuliu County
Countless bandits fled in panic, cursing in their hearts, "It's too late, it's too late! These soldiers in the Houcheng military camp are unruly! How could they cross the Qixing Village in Liaoyang to attack their Wuliu County? Aren't they tired of being separated by a county?"
They thought they still had time. After the Black Dragon Village in Wangping County was destroyed, everyone was waiting and watching. If the Houcheng army attacked the Seven Star Village in Liaoyang, they would immediately flee! Many people even prepared their bags.
They never expected that after watching the fire from the other side for a while, they would end up getting burned themselves.
At this time, Liufu Village, the easternmost group of bandits in the neighboring Liaoxi County, was watching the development of the situation from afar.
Their Liufu Village was only separated from the Skull Village in Wuliu County by a mountain. They had become brother villages because they lived close to each other.
At this time, the leaders of Liufu Village looked solemn. They were all worried about the recent booming bandit suppression campaign in Liaodong County.
"Everyone, don't worry. We are a stronghold of Liaoxi County. Why would the soldiers from Liaodong County come to suppress us?"
Upon hearing this, the small bandits below were extremely grateful that they had set up their Liufu stronghold in Liaoxi County, which was separated by a mountain. If it was in Liaodong County, they would be doomed.
I heard that those captured bandits are having a hard time now.
After being tried and sentenced by the Houcheng County Court, those brothers had to do hard labor to atone for their crimes. Every day they did the dirtiest and most tiring work, and they ate even less than ordinary people. It was horrible.
At this time, Qin Sheng was also standing halfway up the mountain and looking towards the opposite side.
Zhou Da followed his gaze and saw dots of fire on the hillside opposite.
"Sixth Master, are those holding torches on the opposite hill from Liufu Village?" They knew all the bandit dens around them clearly.
"Um."
Zhou Da: "This Liufu Village is really bold."
Ma Jin and Hu Guangcong had just finished their work. Seeing the two men talking, they came over and asked, "Sixth Master, are they trying to provoke us?"
Hu Guangcong: "How daring! We'll wipe them out sooner or later!"
Qin Sheng took one last look and said, "Alright, let's go down the mountain when we're done!"
