But Sheyi didn't know who the owner behind this was. Many families retreated when they saw the many ships cruising on the water.
Sun Jian naturally also wanted to dominate this Happy Island, but he did not have the ability yet.
When he arrived at the designated room, he saw a man in black waiting for him.
"You're the one who asked me to come?"
"Exactly."
The expression beneath the mask could not be seen at all.
Sun Jian had no idea how to see the other party's true face.
"Now that I'm here, please hand over the imperial seal to me."
But the other party sneered:
"Sun Jian, Sun Wentai, you are not really that naive, are you? This is not befitting of your status. If you want the imperial seal, you must exchange it for something."
Sun Jian knew that he couldn't get it just by stretching out his hand, so he asked:
"what would you like?"
"Hahaha, what I want is not something. I want a city."
"What city?" Sun Jian was a little surprised at the other party's big appetite.
"Jian'an."
"What!"
This was something Sun Jian had not expected. He did not expect that the other party's appetite was not just small, but extremely big.
This made Sun Jian unable to agree.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Jian'an City should already be in Fengyun's hands. You want me to take Jian'an City. What's your intention?"
But the man in black remained unmoved and did not explain.
Said: "I just want Jian'an City, what's wrong with that? Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Humph! Although Fengyun is an adventurer, he is the county magistrate of Jian'an City. The prefect of Jian'an has changed several times because of him. This Jian'an is actually his. You want me to provoke a dispute with him. Do you want to reap the spoils?"
After hearing what Sun Jian said, the man in black said:
"You are indeed a local lord, brave and resourceful. But I am not as complicated as you think. I just want to get Jian'an. It should be worthwhile for you to exchange the imperial seal for Jian'an."
"Haha, you really think too highly of the Imperial Seal. The price you paid for it is too high. I don't want it."
Sun Jian was about to leave after saying this.
But the other party might really be asking for an exorbitant price.
Immediately changed the words:
"Wait a minute, Sun Wentai, we can discuss this. I don't think taking Jian'an is a big deal for you."
But Sun Jian sneered:
"Isn't this a big deal? Fengyun is my ally now. If I attack him, how will he view me? How will the world view me, Sun Jian? Stabbing an ally in the back, right? Besides, Jian'an belongs to the imperial court. If you ask me to attack the imperial city, that's rebellion."
After Sun Jian’s explanation, the man in black realized the seriousness of the matter.
It seems that he really took it for granted.
"That does sound a bit difficult for you. But I still want Jian'an City. What if you use our banner and secretly send troops to help me take Jian'an? Is that okay?"
This time, Sun Jian did not refuse outright.
"Let me think about it."
"Okay, I'll give you a meal to think about it. If you still haven't made up your mind by the time I finish eating, I'll go find someone else. I chose you first because you're also in Yangzhou."
Only then did Sun Jian realize that the other party had informed everyone. No wonder Yuan Shao and the others came to find him so quickly.
Thinking of this, he felt itchy again, but he didn't take any action.
At this time, there was a knock at the outer door.
Sun Jian was immediately shocked and shouted:
"Who?"
But the man in black remained calm and told Sun Jian not to make a fuss.
"General Sun, my food is ready and they're about to serve it."
After saying that, he turned around and shouted towards the door: "Bring the dishes up."
At this time, the door was slowly pushed open, and the waiter and several servants brought the dishes to the table one by one, and then left quickly.
At this time, the man in black smiled slightly and said:
"Then I'll eat first, you take your time to think about it."
Sun Jian was really depressed. He had traveled for such a long time and came here to see so many delicious dishes, but the other party had no intention of letting him pick up his chopsticks.
"Forget it, don't think about it. I can help you take Jian'an, but it will have to wait until after this campaign against Dong Zhuo."
The man in black smiled when he saw Sun Jian give in.
"Hahaha, good. General Sun is straightforward. Come and eat some hot food while it's hot."
After saying that, he didn't bother to be polite with Sun Jian and started to eat heartily.
He had not eaten anything because he was waiting for Sun Jian, and he was very hungry now.
He took big mouthfuls of the food on the table.
Sun Jian was a rough man, so of course he wouldn't be polite.
I'm really hungry.
The two began to eat voraciously, and in less than a few minutes, all the food on the table was cleared away.
"belch!"
Sun Jian burped involuntarily and said:
"The food here is so delicious. No wonder the business is so brisk."
The man in black immediately rolled his eyes at Sun Jian and asked, "Do you really not know what's going on or are you just pretending?"
Sun Jian then extended his hand and said, "Give me the Imperial Seal, please."
Man in black: “…”
"General Sun, we haven't even finished the job yet. How dare you ask for it? At least sign an agreement."
Sun Jian touched his head embarrassedly.
"Hehehe, I forgot. Come on, let's sign a deal. I'll only help you secretly once. If you do it more than once, I won't be able to help you."
"Okay, but you must send out an army of 500,000 men, and several of your generals must accompany them."
"That's impossible. I don't have 500,000 men under my command..."
Then the two began to bargain.
Although Sun Jian is a tough guy, he is not vague at all when it comes to bargaining.
After talking for a full hour, they finally convinced each other.
Only then was the agreement signed.
Finally, Sun Jian got the imperial seal as he wished.
He took the jade seal and began to play with it lovingly.
The entire jade seal is emerald green and transparent, and is a rare piece of jade that is rarely seen in a thousand years.
When he turned the seal over, he saw the eight characters he had longed for.
Mandated by Heaven, long life and prosperity
"Hahaha, good. It's the real thing."
After saying this, he bit the gold that was used to fill in the missing corner of the jade seal.
"General Sun, it's a pleasure working with you. Please don't forget our agreement. If you don't fulfill it, you will be punished by heaven."
Sun Jian smiled and said, "Don't worry. I, Sun Jian, value integrity the most. If I promise you something, I will definitely do it."
"Well, I'll come find you after the Dong Zhuo Rebellion. Goodbye."
After saying that, he opened the door and left the brothel.
Sun Jian also didn't want to stay on Happy Island for long.
A man like him who is obsessed with conquering the world will not stay here.
