Xiao Qingyun gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you just pretend to agree to it first?"
Lingzhi: “…”
Good guy, one is bargaining with the pirates, and the other is trying to fool the pirates to get away with it.
They are indeed friends, both are extremely bold and have strong physiques!
…
…
When Qiye and the two imperial envoys arrived with their men, the several black-sailed boats docked by the river were no longer there.
The crowd searched everywhere at the bottom of the cliff, and later found ashes of burnt firewood in the cave, and followed footprints to the river beach.
Qiye squatted down and touched the anchor mark left on the beach: "Oh no, another step too late!"
Yesterday, after he saw the nail nailed in the crevice of the rock and the rope tied to the nail at the top of the cliff, he hurried over to look down the cliff.
The bottom of the cliff is unfathomable and extremely dangerous.
He tried to pull the rope upwards, but only pulled back a rope that was broken in the middle.
Knowing that something must have happened to the prince, he became anxious and wanted to jump off the cliff immediately, but was stopped by two imperial envoys who arrived.
They worked together to find a way down to the bottom of the cliff, but the cliff was as vertical as a knife and there was no way to go down.
After much trouble, General Su finally came up with a solution. He called the guards to cut long vines, and then used the vines to weave ropes to make a vine ladder.
He and his team were weaving a vine ladder at the top of the mountain, while General Su led another group of people to search for a path to the bottom of the cliff from the foot of the mountain.
As it was already late, the search and rescue operation could not continue.
He had no choice but to stay on the cliff and wait for dawn.
He did not sleep all night, and at dawn the next day, he quickly woke up the two imperial envoys and the guards, and everyone started to get busy again.
After finally hanging the woven vine ladder on the cliff, they moved towards the bottom of the cliff little by little.
Because the cliff was too high, we had to use vine ladders several times along the way, and the speed was obviously slow.
But when we finally got to the bottom of the cliff, we still couldn't find the prince.
Without time to think, Qiye hurried towards the two imperial envoys, "Sir, we must quickly find a boat and contact nearby fishermen to lead the way..."
…
Cool, moist vapor poured in from the passages on both sides of the cabin.
Boss Sun wiped the water stains from his face and sat carefree at the bow of the boat.
The younger brother next to him came forward and whispered: "Boss, that man is not the girl's father. They must be a couple."
Boss Sun turned his head and glanced at Lingzhi and Xiao Qingyun in the cabin.
His eyes lingered on Lingzhi's men's robe for a moment longer: "I guess they're not a proper couple!"
The younger brother chuckled twice: "I think they are a pair of wild mandarin ducks."
The pirates laughed and joked with each other in ambiguous conversation.
Lingzhi greeted their ancestors a hundred times in his heart.
Then she struggled hard for a few times, but the double knot tied around her wrists became tighter and tighter, pulling her so hard that it hurt.
Xiao Qingyun glanced at her and said, "Don't waste your time. The more you pull on the rope, the tighter it gets."
"I know."
Lingzhi frowned slightly, staring at his calm face, and asked: "Aren't you very powerful? How did you get caught?"
Xiao Qingyun said calmly: "We can't get out by ourselves, and we finally have someone to lead the way, so we have to keep up."
Lingzhi reluctantly believed his lies.
I won’t go into the details of whether to follow him or tie him up. It’s always good to be able to leave that cliff.
"There's a Tiandi Bank at the next ferry crossing. Can you really withdraw money?"
Boss Sun took a sip of tea, spat out a tea leaf, and turned to look at Lingzhi and Xiao Qingyun.
Lingzhi also looked at Xiao Qingyun.
This guy only lived in the Shen Mansion for a short period of time. When did he ever deposit money in the bank here?
Could it be that he is fooling the pirates again?
"Five hundred taels is not a small amount. Can you come up with so much money at once?"
Boss Sun probably didn't quite believe it either, his eyes stabbed like knives.
"If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you!"
Xiao Qingyun replied, "Of course I wouldn't lie to you. The owner of this bank, Mr. Wen, is my cousin. He grew up living in my house. Now that he's made money through business, it's time for him to give back."
Boss Sun nodded: "That's right, it should be so!"
Lingzhi also nodded. He wanted to drag his relatives to die with him before he died. What a bastard, so rich and inhuman.
Xiao Qingyun then added, "Don't worry, I still have my woman. If I can't find my cousin after we get ashore, I'll kidnap her and sell her off. I'll definitely pay you for it."
Wow, that’s so unexpected, it’s amazing that he could come up with that!
Lingzhi was so angry that she was fuming and hit Xiao Qingyun with her fists that were tied up and almost unable to move.
Seeing Xiao Qingyun lazily leaning on the boat's side as if nothing had happened, she was so angry that she didn't know where to start cursing.
Boss Sun was also stunned by Xiao Qingyun's shamelessness.
"Hey, you're really a piece of shit—"
He opened his mouth to curse, and just as he started to say the dirty words, he was stopped by the younger brother behind him.
"Boss, who cares? We're getting some money anyway, so we're not losing out!"
Boss Sun thought the same thing and immediately spat: "Damn it, I'll do as you say! As long as you get the silver, I'll let you go immediately!"
After sailing on the river for a whole morning, they finally reached the shore.
Standing on the street and looking at the bustling crowd in front of them, Lingzhi and Xiao Qingyun looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.
Finally left the deserted cliff bottom.
The pirates had already untied the ropes on them, but a group of people followed them closely, fearing that they would run away.
Xiao Qingyun brought them directly to the door of Tiandi Bank.
