Even if it means death, I would be willing to accept it.
"Ugh!"
Yan Shisan sighed softly and ultimately gave up the idea.
Before I have mastered the Fifteen Deadly Swords, I am not qualified to fight Mr. Li.
Yan Shisan understood Li Chengqian's move, but some lower-level martial arts practitioners didn't see anything special about it.
“Master Yan, you just ranked third on the Sword God Ranking. You should have figured out the trick behind Mr. Li’s sword strike just now.”
Could you tell us about it?
Yan Shisan originally didn't intend to pay attention to this request.
But after glancing at Li Chengqian on the roof, Yan Shisan suddenly changed his mind.
Even if I can't actually fight Mr. Li, I still have to draw my sword against him.
Thinking of this, Yan Shisan said, "Mr. Li held back in that move just now."
Everyone:? ? ?
Everyone stared speechlessly at the collapsed palace behind them, their lips twitching.
"Master Yan, is Mr. Li still holding back in this situation?"
"Of course, the way of swordsmanship is to break through the surface with a single point. If Mr. Li hadn't held back..."
“The force on the tip of the sword wouldn’t be so dispersed, and you wouldn’t be able to see Mr. Li’s moves.”
"Besides, that sword strike should have been aimed at the Sunflower Patriarch's brow, not at the blade itself."
"The reason for doing this is that Mr. Li did not intend to kill."
"A peerless swordsman has fallen, and Mr. Li personally escorted him to his final resting place. This is an immense honor."
"well said!"
"As expected of the third-ranked expert on the Sword God Ranking."
Just then, a voice came from the ruins.
The Sunflower Ancestor emerged in a disheveled state, his soft sword reduced to just its hilt.
Everyone:! ! !
You're not dead yet?
roof.
Li Chengqian looked at Ye Gucheng with a smile.
Did you see that move clearly just now?
Ye Gucheng nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
"But Mr. Li just said I won. If that's the case, doesn't that mean Mr. Li will lose the bet he placed?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian casually waved his hand and said, "It won't affect anything."
"The gamble they see is a matter of life and death; the gamble I see is a matter of winning and losing."
That's why I pawned you for one coin at the city gate.
"This proves that I was not wrong, and the Sword God Ranking is also correct."
"As for the one million taels of silver bet on Ximen Chuixue later, it was just for fun."
"Hahaha!"
Ye Gucheng laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
"Mr. Li, you've managed to fool everyone in the capital with just one penny. You're just like a carefree immortal."
"I only realized now that there are so many interesting things in this world."
"If I had gone to Ping An Inn earlier, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way."
As he spoke, Ye Gucheng slowly closed his eyes.
He stood there holding his sword in one hand, and thus, a peerless swordsman fell.
The conversation between Mr. Li and Ye Gucheng was heard by everyone below.
Those hidden among the crowd, the people behind the gambling dens, also began to have their own schemes.
Although Ye Gucheng is dead, Mr. Li says he has won.
Based on this calculation, could this bet be nullified?
However, this little thought didn't last long before Young Master Huang's voice came over.
"Mr. Li, you are indeed a man of uncanny foresight. You predicted long ago that Ye Gucheng would help Ximen Chuixue in his inevitable death, didn't you?"
Upon hearing Young Master Huang's voice, Li Chengqian smiled and floated down from the rooftop.
"That's it."
"But Mr. Li's words just now have given some people the idea of defaulting on their debts!"
"Mr. Li is a wealthy and powerful man, so of course he doesn't care about that little bit of money."
"My family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat. I wonder if Mr. Li has any good ideas?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian feigned surprise.
"No way! No way!"
"In a place like this, who would dare to renege on the debt between me and Young Master Huang?"
"They don't really think that I won't know just because they don't show themselves and hide in the crowd, do they?"
Li Chengqian's words caused many important figures to twitch at the corners of their eyes.
These people were either imperial relatives, high-ranking officials, or nobles.
At the very least, they must be big shots in the underworld.
wipe!
You guys really know how to rob.
Li Chengqian's words made Young Master Huang's lips curl into a smile, and he immediately said, "Mr. Li is right."
"But every family has its own problems, Mr. Li, they wouldn't dare to default on your debt."
"As for Huang's accounts, that's hard to say."
“That’s easy,” Li Chengqian said with a smile, waving his hand. “If they don’t give it to them.”
"Brother Huang, why don't you go and complain to Emperor Ming?"
"It is only right and proper to pay back debts. If anyone dares to default on their debts, the Emperor will definitely confiscate their property."
“That makes sense,” Young Master Huang nodded, then said seriously, “but some of them are relatives of the emperor!”
"Wouldn't it be difficult for Emperor Ming to make a move?"
"Oh dear!" Li Chengqian sighed and said jokingly, "As long as Young Master Huang presents this money to Emperor Ming."
"Emperor Ming wouldn't have such concerns, after all, money is more important than imperial relatives."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Huang was stunned.
He just wanted to joke with Li Chengqian and, incidentally, intimidate those people.
Moreover, even if he were to take all 15 million taels, he wouldn't be able to. If he were to push too hard, his harem would be in turmoil.
However, Li Chengqian's words made Young Master Huang realize what was going on instantly.
What kind of concubine is worth fifteen million taels of silver?
If I really had 15 million taels of silver, I could do a lot of things. Let the court be in turmoil!
It's not like I lack the ability to solve it.
Chapter 306 Cao Zhengchun's Fear, Emperor Ming's Scheme Within a Scheme
Just as Young Master Huang was in a daze, Li Chengqian was already preparing to get up and leave.
He went up to the servant and took the one million taels of silver notes from his hand.
Then he said to the air, "Ximen Chuixue pays three times the price, I'll take the principal first."
"I will be staying in the capital for two days. Please deliver three million taels of silver to my residence within these two days."
"With your capabilities, you should be able to find out where I live."
"Don't say I'm making things difficult for you. The money can be paid in other ways."
"I want gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, antiques, and property deeds. In short, I want every last penny of my money."
After saying that, Li Chengqian led everyone away.
Young Master Huang, meanwhile, gazed thoughtfully at Li Chengqian's figure.
Suddenly, he beckoned to the servant beside him.
"Since Mr. Li has already gotten his principal back, then I'll get mine back first too!"
Upon hearing this, the servant quickly presented the jade pendant with both hands.
Upon seeing the jade pendant, Young Master Huang flew into a rage.
"presumptuous!"
"What do you mean by giving me a jade pendant?"
"Have you forgotten that I bet five million taels of silver with you back then?"
Everyone:? ? ?
What are you trying to do? You're not trying to get something for nothing, are you?
So you're saying I have to give you an extra five million taels?
Before the servant could argue, Young Master Huang snatched the jade pendant and angrily said, "907 Since you are so shameless..."
