Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 51: Money moves people’s hearts

Seeing that the verbal conflict between the two leaders became more and more intense, some small leaders who were usually respectable hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them that in the face of a powerful enemy, their own families could not fight among themselves. The three Taoist sects are already fighting among themselves, but even if they can deal with the outside world in unison, their conflicts will never be deeper than the conflicts between the three Taoist sects. Furthermore, everyone is doing this for the cause of fighting Taoism, so there is no need to do this.

Qi Xuansu secretly wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, and then find an opportunity to spread the news back to the camp to be wary of Westerners interfering with the situation in Fenglinzhou.

After a while, the two put aside their dispute for the time being.

Metropolitan White was well versed in the abilities of the Central Plains people and Xini: "Both of them are the mainstay of the people with lofty ideals. Don't let your subordinates hurt your friendship. These support and assistance are just words, and it is difficult to convince people after all, Brown The cardinal deacon had already expected this, so he allowed me to bring a large space bag. "

After that, he took out an almost translucent bag and shook it.

In the open space in front of the altar table, ten large boxes with obvious Western style immediately appeared, with fine patterns carved on the surface.

White came to a box, turned the round lock on the box, and opened the lid.

For a moment, the whole hall was silent.

The box was filled with silver coins, shining with silver light. However, unlike the Taiping coins, these Western silver coins had no words on them, but the pattern of a double-headed eagle, which was the famous Ying Yang.

This big box of Yingyang contains at least 20,000 items.

Ever since the East and the West began to exchange goods and services on a large scale, the economy has been turned upside down, and currency has been the most affected. Today, the currencies with the most guaranteed value in the world are the Taiping Money in the East and the Yingyang in the West. They are also the only currencies that are universally used. From the Kingdom of Luen to the Daxuan Dynasty, from Posu Continent to Fenglin Continent, from Rakshasa Kingdom to The New World recognized these two currencies.

In comparison, commonly used copper coins, bills, and banknotes do not have such impact.

Many people were breathing heavily.

White came to another box and opened the lid again.

This time it was shining with golden light, full of gold coins, and the double-headed eagle pattern was replaced by a crown.

Gold crown!

The word "Krong" is translated into Chinese characters, which itself means crown.

Its value is similar to Daxuan's worry-free money, and the official exchange ratio with Yingyang is one to ten.

White kept moving and opened the lids of all the boxes. In total, there was one box of gold crowns and nine boxes of eagle oceans, which added up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Since ancient times, money and silk have moved people's hearts, and those who fight against Taoism have stopped talking.

Of course, verbal support and assistance don't matter. If you say you don't want it, you don't want it, but real money and silver don't matter. What Teacher Yoshida said about the Westerners having their own agenda is ultimately a matter for the future and will be discussed later. As for the possibility of losing the righteousness of people's hearts, it is even more nonsense. Let me ask, how many eagle oceans are worth the righteousness of people's hearts?

White looked around everyone with a smile and said, "This is our sincerity. Do you still have any questions?"

Yoshida Yiqing originally wanted to speak, but looking at the expressions of the people around him, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and walked away after saying, "It's not enough to make a fool of myself."

White looked at Yoshida Yiqing's leaving figure and sneered in his heart. There is an old saying in the Central Plains that goes well, everything in the world is prosperous, and everything in the world is prosperous. In the final analysis, these so-called lofty ideals have never seen money. Once they see money, their eyes cannot pull it out. Besides, what on earth can you do for free? Counterinsurgency costs money, and rebellion also costs money. Cardinal Deacon Brown's wisdom had already anticipated this, so he asked him to prepare a generous "meeting gift" early. Otherwise, how could he convince these barbarian dwarves to use their flesh and blood to fight against the Taoist flying boat cannon?

As soon as Yoshida Yoshiaki left, Maeda Masao regained control of the situation and said loudly: "You have seen the sincerity of Western friends. This is just the beginning. In the future, there will be a steady stream of assistance sent. With the assistance of Western friends, We will definitely succeed, and victory will eventually belong to us!”

Everyone responded with a roar.

I don't know who stood up, and everyone began to sing: "The waves are turbulent in the Miluo Deep, and the clouds are flying beside the Wushan Mountain. I am independent in the dim world, and my righteous indignation is burning and my blood is flowing. The powerful only know their proud family background, and there is really nothing to worry about the country. People. The rich and nobles only know how to accumulate wealth, but how can they think about the country? The sage sees the decline of the country, and the rise and fall of the world are like a dream, and the world is really like a game of chess!"

To be honest, Qi Xuansu was a little caught off guard. He was enjoying watching the play, but suddenly a group of people started singing a chorus. He had never seen this kind of formation in Daomen.

He came here to pretend to be an Onmyoji, not a Taoist warrior. He had never learned this thing before. He couldn't open his mouth or keep up the tone, and he was quickly noticed by others.

When the chorus was finished, someone immediately asked Qi Xuansu why he couldn't "song for Taoist patriots".

Naturally, it was me who came forward to explain that this was a new brother who had joined the club and could be of life-saving grace to him.

However, there are many factions within the Taoist Sect, and the person who questioned me was not from the same group as me. He immediately pointed the finger at me, and then started to question me, since I am a new member, how can I participate in the conference? If a secret is leaked, whose does it belong to? As for the life-saving grace, it is a debt owed by you, not by me.

Rebellion is an errand with the head tied to the waistband. They are all people who don't care about life and death. Especially Feng Linzhou also admires the so-called "material sorrow", so I became anxious all of a sudden and directly pressed my waist. hilt.

Not to be outdone, the other side pulled out his sword and gestured to give me a heavenly punishment.

Naturally, my team here cannot sit back and watch our own people being bullied, and we are also preparing to take action.

The other side was also not alone, and surrounded him.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a conflict between two groups.

The two groups usually have good allies. If they really want to fight, the others may not be able to survive alone, and it may turn into a big fight.

Masao Maeda could no longer sit idly by. He first shouted loudly to stop the two groups from taking action, and then separated the crowd with his close associates and strode in.

The two groups saluted Maeda Masao together, and then asked Maeda Masao to administer justice.

Maeda Masao frowned slightly, feeling a little impatient. Since I have just joined the association, I naturally shouldn't participate in the conference, but I can't commit the crime of going into a big fight. The key is that there are guests here. Feng Linzhou is deeply influenced by the Central Plains, and also has the habit of not publicizing family scandals. Fighting in front of the Holy Court, publicizing the family scandal is the second best. In the eyes of the Holy Court, isn't the Fighting Taoist Sect just a bunch of rabble? ? They cannot help but consider, is such a piece of loose sand worth investing in? If the Holy Court withdraws its investment, it will be a major event that will affect the overall situation.

What's the big picture? Being unsightly is the overall situation.

At this moment, Qi Xuansu said: "Since I am not qualified to participate in the conference, I will leave now."

After saying that, Qi Xuansu turned around and walked out.

The warrior who was hostile to me was unwilling to let Qi Xuansu go and shouted: "Stop! How can you come and leave when you want such a confidential matter? You are so busy leaving, maybe there is something wrong in your heart. If you want to inform the Daomen and the Prime Minister, you will be so rich and wealthy!"

Qi Xuansu stopped and turned around: "What do you want? Kill me?"

Gosaku shouted: "Hyojiro! If you want to kill someone, ask me about the sword in my hand first!"

The two factions have the intention to take action again.

Maeda Masao had no choice but to give a loud shout, and once again stopped the two groups who were about to start, and said: "We call ourselves patriots, how can we kill people indiscriminately!"

White also came over and looked Qi Xuansu up and down. Unfortunately, in the eyes of Westerners, Easterners all looked the same, with black hair and black eyes. Except that this Onmyoji was taller, he really couldn't tell the difference from other Easterners. What's the difference.

But it doesn't affect the overall situation.

Such an action is destined to be hidden from the eyes of the Daomen. It's just a matter of sooner or later. As long as the Daomen doesn't catch it, it doesn't matter.

In the words of the Central Plains people, I am on the first day of junior high school and you are on the fifteenth day of junior high school. It is rude to come and go without reciprocating.

Over the years, the New World has been turbulent, and the so-called independence wave has come one after another. There must be someone behind it, but who could it be?

Who has such courage? Who has so much energy?

There are also various conflicts between West Posuo Island and East Posuo Island, and it doesn’t happen in one or two days.

Although the two behemoths did not dare to fight directly out of fear, there was inevitably some secret competition.

On the other side, Qi Xuansu was observing the changes in Maeda Masao's demeanor.

It is said that heroes emerge from troubled times. These rough and turbulent countryside just lack a platform to display their abilities, so they are inevitably short-sighted. However, their ferocity, cunning, and ability to penetrate people's hearts, even better than some big shots in high positions, should not be underestimated.

Maeda Masao, as one of the thirteen leaders of the Fighting Taoist Sect, was able to subdue all kinds of rogues and was able to establish a line with the Holy Court. He had a lot of skills. He suddenly looked directly into Qi Xuansu's eyes and said slowly: "This friend, If you want to leave, we won't stop you, we just hope you won't reveal what you saw and heard today."

After saying that, he stared at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu immediately remembered Yao Pei's unique skill. By observing the subtle expressions of others, he could infer what they were probably thinking with extremely high accuracy. Masao Maeda may not understand this unique skill, but the principles are the same.

However, Qi Xuansu was successively influenced by Qiniang and Yao Pei, two Yao family members, and had already developed the ability to look like a quiet lake. Moreover, his acting skills were learned from Qiniang, the great master, and his eyes were calm and calm. Angry, but also appropriately showing a bit of fear and gratitude.

I'm afraid I almost died here, and I'm grateful to Maeda Masao for justice.

No flaws.

Then Qi Xuansu solemnly said: "I swear in the name of Yin Yang Tao and the Great God, I will never reveal a word to the outside world. If I violate my oath, I will ask the Great God to punish me and die without a burial place."

Who is the outsider? Daomen is one of our own.

As for Yin Yang Dao and the so-called great gods, Qi Xuansu didn't believe it at all. He had even seen the human incarnation of Himihu, so he was still afraid of this? If you really have the ability, you can send down divine punishment. It would be best to kill Master Qingwei as well. The key is, can you do it?
