Chapter 55 Gu Lao

post house.

in the room.

Zhao Jishan and a group of high-level officials sat together with cold faces, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

Thinking about what happened today is very humiliating.

A high-level executive couldn't help but slapped the desk, destroying the desk with huge palm force, and said angrily: "Yan Luo must give us an explanation!"

"Go and tell them that if this matter doesn't satisfy us, there's no need for them to exist." Zhao Jishan said coldly with murderous intent.

"Although the victory of Longyuan Academy caused an accident to our plan, it is not too big. The three consecutive victories of the Academy Palace, plus the obtained Lingbao, this matter is still half sure."

The senior couldn't help but speak.

"Counting the Dao Treasure Book, we have already destroyed four spiritual treasures. Even the good seedlings brought this time have their foundations destroyed. Can they really succeed?"

Several others shared this concern.

Zhao Jishan shook his head: "It is true that the loss was heavy, but in name, we still have the upper hand. Coupled with the carefully prepared "gift", we are not afraid that Emperor Sheng Wen will not agree."

Perfect the plan and don't disperse until you are sure there are no loopholes.

Emerald House.

As soon as the three of Xiao Ran arrived here, they stopped when they saw the three people walking towards them.

Two acquaintances, Wen Fuxian and Chen Wenheng.

There is also a great Confucian, with a strong righteousness, self-contained, affecting the surrounding aura, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

"Xuanzong Realm?" Xiao Ran thought to himself.

Shen Yiming took a step forward and hurriedly greeted, "Old Gu, why are you here?"

"This group of incompetent guys, who don't feel at ease in learning and cultivate a righteous spirit, actually bet most of their family fortune on side lanes." Gu Lao stroked his beard, looking like an old Versailles.

The corner of Shen Yiming's mouth twitched violently, complaining in his heart, fearing that the Emerald Building would not give the money quickly, are you deterrent by force?

Asked curiously: "How much did you bet?"

"Not much! It's only five million taels."

grunt!

Shen Yiming and Xiao Zhou swallowed hard, shocked.

"Have you placed your bets too?" Elder Gu asked.

"Longyuan Academy is the only one of the four colleges to win, and Jixia Academy almost cost me everything. This will take out all the pension money, but fortunately, Mr. Gu, the students you have cultivated live up to expectations."

Elder Gu is very satisfied.

The two entered the Emerald Building together.

Xiao Ran and Chen Wenheng greeted each other with a nod of greeting.

In a secret room.

The owner of the jade building and the two deputy owners sat together with gloomy faces.

I thought I could make a lot of money this time, but I didn't expect Longyuan Academy to fight back in a desperate way, making a comeback against the wind and saving the last bit of face of the court.

For them, this is a fatal blow.

"Are you all dumb? Aren't you usually quite eloquent?" the landlord said angrily.

One person said, "How about we run away?"

"Are you afraid that you have lived too long?" The landlord sneered.

Another person said: "Procrastinate! Extend the time as much as possible, wait until the limelight passes this time, and then send someone to kill the punters. In this way, our losses can also be made up for."

"The method is what you think of. You go and destroy Longyuan Academy now, and I will ask you for credit later."

The man was speechless.

A confidant rushed to report.

"Lord, people from Longyuan Academy and Divine Sword Guard are here."

"Who is leading the team?" the landlord asked.

"Old Gu!"

hiss!

The three of them looked at each other and were startled.

Especially the person who suggested silence just now subconsciously wiped off the cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

The landlord gave him a hard look, flicked his sleeves, and walked outside.

in the room.

Xiao Ran and the others sat on the chairs, with a cup of tea in front of them, and no one moved.

No one came for a while.

Xiao Zhou couldn't help but said, "They won't run away, right?"

Chen Wenheng also felt that it made sense. Who told them to bet so much money, and the Emerald Tower would not make a penny this time, so they had to pay back, "It's possible."

Gu Lao smiled and stroked his beard, calmly and confidently, "Unless they leave forever."

Hasty footsteps sounded, and the three landlords walked in with apologetic smiles.

"Mr. Gu was joking. We operate with integrity. Our Emerald House is a century-old brand and we value reputation very much."

Shout out to a subordinate.

"I don't have any sharp eyesight. Didn't you see Mr. Gu coming? You actually serve such ordinary tea, why don't you hurry up and take out the top-quality Haichun black tea that I have treasured."

"No need." Gu Lao interrupted with a wave of his hand.

After taking out the paper and putting it on the table, it was almost a matter of saying "give me the money".

Shen Yiming and Xiao Zhou also took out the written documents.

Xiao Ran only took out the 300,000 taels of paper, and the other 500,000 taels of paper is inconvenient now.

The landlord wanted to scold his mother and play a rascal in his heart.

But under Gu Lao's gaze, he didn't even dare to say "no".

"take money!"

I turned around and stopped looking, my heart was bleeding.

After receiving the money, Xiao Ran and others stood up and prepared to leave.

Gu Lao said at this moment: "This matter is over here, don't make some fools."

The landlord apologized, not even daring to say anything.

Until they left, sitting weakly on the chair.

This time, he really didn't even dare to take revenge, so Mr. Gu stepped forward to beat him up.

Outside.

"Thanks for taking care of me, I am very grateful." Shen Yiming cupped hands.

"You are all good, you have a clear stand, and you didn't do things against your conscience because of a temporary loss of power."

Take Wen Fuxian and Chen Wenheng to leave.

"My lord, are we stable?" Xiao Zhou stretched his head.

Shen Yiming kicked him angrily: "Nonsense! With Mr. Gu here, with a few of their guts, they wouldn't dare to think of us."

"Then who will treat you and Brother Xiao tonight?"

"I invite you tonight, Xiao Ran will invite you tomorrow night."

"I have no objection." Xiao Ran shrugged.

"I can't be stingy, I'll invite you later!" Xiao Zhou is very good at life.

"Let's go! Drink in the Drunken Immortal Courtyard." Shen Yiming laughed loudly, and took crab steps, walking out with steps that his relatives did not recognize.

Two hours later.

Xiao Ran left the Drunken Immortal Courtyard, and the two of them stayed there, having a great time.

Performing the technique of transforming form, changing appearance, changing a set of clothes, and came to the Emerald Building again.

"You want to withdraw money?" the steward asked.

"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded.

"How many?"

"Five hundred thousand taels."

boom!

The steward was startled, fell to the ground, got up from the ground, looked at him in disbelief, and reconfirmed: "Where's the paperwork?"

Xiao Ran took out the paper and asked him to read it again.

After confirming that it was true, the manager did not dare to delay, so he invited Xiao Ran to a room and reported the news.

In the secret room.

The landlord and the three of them are like dead parents. With such a big loss, they have no way to report to the higher authorities.

At this time, the confidant came to report again: "The landlord has come to withdraw money again!"

"Trash! Do you want to bother the landlord with such a trivial matter?" The landlord cursed.
