Immortality is above

Chapter 25 25: I’m about to give it a try. Is this sword good?
  (Please collect and read, and give me all kinds of support!)
  When the ship docked and everyone went to the island, the strong men accompanying them couldn't help showing nervous expressions.

For them, the island is nothing more than a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.

Although this trip is a negotiation, if there is no agreement, there is a possibility of fighting.

If a fight breaks out, death or injury will be inevitable.

There are many buildings on this island, scattered in an orderly manner, and it looks like a mountain village.

It was already dusk and dusk was spreading, so I lit a torch. The firelight hunting adds an aura of killing.

A group of people lined up in front. They were all well-dressed and not afraid of the cold. They deliberately showed off their strong muscles. Each held a bright long knife in his hand, with a red cloth tied to the handle.

This formation was clearly intended to give Li Kuan and his party a showdown and dampen their spirits.

Song Bin, who had a violent temper, sneered: "I am used to being a strong man, but I can never change my gangster behavior."

"Daochang Wang, Head Guard Gao, Master Song, Daxia Lin, Boss Li, all my fellow martial arts colleagues, thank you for your hard work."

A middle-aged man dressed as a scribe stood there with a fake smile on his face.

Xue Yang, but everyone calls him "Master Xue", is Zhang Qiang's right-hand man, responsible for coming up with ideas, and full of bad ideas.

Li Kuan took a step forward: "Where is Island Master Zhang?"

Master Xue smiled and said: "The island owner has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."

Be the first to lead the way.

Walking along the winding path, you can see that there are people guarding everywhere, there are many outposts and hidden posts, and you even see prohibited equipment such as bows and crossbows.

This one is so powerful and courageous!

At the same time, everyone couldn't help but secretly be on guard.

You must know that this is an island, surrounded by water, and it is the opponent's home court. It occupies a huge advantage in terms of location and numbers. If a fight starts, it will be quite disadvantageous.

After walking for a while, we came to an open stone square.

Several huge bonfires were set up at this spot, which shone like daylight.

A long wooden table was placed in the center, and sitting at the top was a short-built man with a sinister face.

If they didn't know him, most people wouldn't have thought that he was actually the famous Aolaihu advocate for Qiang.

On the left and right sides were his deputies and confidants.

It can be seen that in order to cope with tonight's negotiations, the island is also full of elites.

"Haha, Boss Li, colleagues, you are finally here. Sit down, please take a seat."

Zhang Qiang stood up, but his short figure looked a little funny, and then clapped his hands: "The guests are here, why don't you quickly pour the wine and bring the roasted meat!"

After giving the order, several young maids came up immediately. They were dressed in cool clothes, show off their coquettishness, and were quite eye-catching.

I don’t know if it was bought or stolen.

It’s really enjoyable.

Li Kuan snorted coldly: "Island Master Zhang, don't talk about anything else, let's just start talking."

Zhang Qiang smiled but said: "It's easy to negotiate. Have you brought the money? If you have the money, we can negotiate."

"There are two thousand five hundred taels on the carriage."

"Just cut it in half. It seems that Boss Li doesn't have much sincerity."

At this time Gao Xisheng spoke: "Island Master Zhang, if you just ask for five thousand taels, isn't that a lion's mouth?"

Lin Shen echoed: "You grabbed someone for no reason and asked for five thousand taels. You can't justify it no matter what."

Zhang Qiang opened his eyes wide: "Let me state in advance that I am not arresting people for no reason. Mr. Li was passing by while escorting the cloth. Because of a dispute of words, he clashed with us and got into a fight, injuring several people on our island, including two One of them was even seriously injured and on the verge of death. I stand up for my brothers and ask for compensation. Isn’t this very reasonable?"

This is the consistent style of the strong men of Aolai Island. They set their sights on the target and then set up a routine, either by playing tricks, playing rogue, or using fairy jumps. In short, the opponent will be fooled and fall into the trap.

Song Bin said loudly: "Everyone is familiar with your methods. There is no need to talk about useless things. Let's just talk about what we need to do before we are willing to let him go."

A few of them came to help with Li Kuan's favor and money. They had to speak when it was time to speak, but they couldn't just sit around.

"Master Song is refreshing and quick to talk, so I won't say more, this is the number!"

Zhang Qiang stretched out four fingers. Song Bin frowned: "It's too much."

Zhang Qiang spread his hands and said, "Then there is nothing we can do. One thousand taels are suddenly lost. I have already made a big concession. If I give in again, I will not be able to explain to my brothers."

Song Bin was silent and didn't say anything more.

The rules of the road, in a negotiation situation like this, not only do you need to have enough confidence chips, but you also need to pay attention to skills in order to keep the amount down.

So far, only Taoist Wang has not spoken out, and it is his turn to come forward.

Wang Taoist priest made an announcement and said with a smile: "Island Master Zhang, you are well and well. How are you living in your current house?"

This sentence sounds meaningless, but it actually involves the origin between the two. Three years ago, Taoist Wang was invited to the island to study the feng shui and arrange a main house for Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang replied: "In reply to the Taoist priest, after your decoration, the feng shui of the house has been greatly changed, and it is much more comfortable to live in."

"Island Master Zhang, can you give Pindao some face and convenience?"

"Well, since the Taoist Master has spoken, let's do this. I will suffer a loss and give in one more step. Three thousand taels can't be any less."

Taoist Wang nodded slightly and looked at Li Kuan with Gao Xisheng and others, asking him to make the final decision.

Everyone basically did what they should do and what they should show.

Li Kuan sighed, knowing in his heart that talking about this was basically the end. In fact, it was almost as expected, so I just brought 2,500 taels.

As for the shortfall of 500 taels, we can raise them all in two or three days and then have them delivered.

There are many witnesses who guarantee that Zhang Qiang will not be embarrassed on this point.

Just waiting to say yes.

Suddenly I heard a voice saying: "Island Master Zhang, can you bring my brother-in-law out first and have a look?"

The one who spoke was surprisingly Chen Liubai, who had always had no sense of presence.

Li Kuan was excited: Yes, before paying money, you must first check whether the person is safe and sound. This is safe.

Zhang Qiang looked at Chen Liubai and felt a little strange: "Who is your Excellency?"

Li Kuan introduced: "He is the younger brother of my daughter-in-law... Island Master Zhang, please bring him out first."

"No problem. Don't worry, Boss Li. Your son will have good food and accommodation on the island, and he will be accompanied by beautiful women. There will be no harm. Our family only wants money and harmony to make money. We will never break the rules."

He winked at his subordinates.

After waiting for a while, Li Jiyi was brought over. He was not tied up and did not appear to be injured, but he looked depressed.

Chen Liubai greeted him: "Brother-in-law."

Li Jiyi recognized him: "Liu Bai? Why are you here?"

"Haha, I'm here to save you."

"Hey, I'm ashamed."

When Li Jiyi took over the family business, his father actually told him many things to pay attention to. But listening is one thing, being able to do it is another.

Young people are full of energy and can't stand their anger, so they are deceived and suffer a big loss.

In order to redeem him this time, the family would definitely have to bleed a lot.

Zhang Qiang clapped his hands: "People are coming out, please give me money."

"Wait!"

Chen Liubai waved his hand.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and didn't know what he meant.

Except for Wang Daochang and Gao Xisheng, they all felt unhappy and wondered what kind of drama this young boy was adding to this.

Isn't this an outlier?

Zhang Qiang said with a sinister smile: "You are causing trouble here, do you want to test whether the blade of this island master is sharp?"

Chen Liubai held an iron sword in his hand: "I once wandered around the world and was taught swordsmanship by strangers. I want to give it a try today. Is this sword sharp?"
