Longevity Martial Arts: Beginning with Sword Drawing

Chapter 55 Backstage down?

Looking at the 50 taels of silver in his hand, the masked man had an uncertain expression.

He let out a long breath, and looked at Lin Bei again: "How about I add five taels of silver to each of the remaining three bows and crossbows?"

"It's not about the money!"

Lin Bei shook his head, looked at the masked man in the same way, sneered, and said meaningfully: "I would rather earn less than 100 taels of silver than lose my life!"

"What do you mean by that?"

The masked man raised his eyebrows, but asked with an unchanged expression.

Lin Bei said expressionlessly: "I don't believe it, you didn't have the idea of ​​killing people after the deal was completed?"

"I have earned so much money from you, you can use the bow and crossbow I made for you, and get back the lost money from my corpse, right?"

He asked this indifferently, but the masked man's expression froze, and he quietly clenched his fists.

"This guy……"

There was a hint of killing intent in the masked man's eyes, and he looked at Lin Bei warily.

Lin Bei's words exposed his plan!
Originally, he planned to wait for the transaction to be completed, take Lin Bei as the transaction partner, and try the quality of these bows and crossbows!

By the way, kill people and silence them, and get back the silver taels you handed over!

Only now, this plan was seen by the opponent in advance, and it was debunked!
"What? Want to do it?"

Lin Bei glanced at him, and said lightly: "If you think you can kill me, then you can try!"

Hearing this, the masked man stared at him for a long time, then slowly let go of his fist, and said strangely: "You are stronger!"

"You're not bad either. I know you still have people hiding in the dark, but are you sure you'll keep me?"

Lin Bei stared at him coldly, and stood with his hands behind his back, looking confident.

He had already sensed that there was an ambush in the woods, and he should be an accomplice of the masked man.

But except for the three bows and crossbows in his hand, the masked man can only distribute four bows and crossbows.

The four bows and crossbows did not pose much threat to Lin Bei, but he noticed the existence of another martial artist with good cultivation.

If there were two opponents who looked like masked men and four bows and crossbows, Lin Bei would not be very sure that he would be able to resolve the battle quickly.

Having said that, it would be foolish for the other party to want to keep him!

"It turns out that this is why you changed two transactions into three transactions!"

Only then did the masked man suddenly realize.

When negotiating the transaction, he requested that the ten bows and crossbows be completed in two batches, five at a time.

However, Lin Bei directly refuted it and went back, making three deals, four for the first time, and three for the remaining two.

It turned out that the other party had already prevented him from killing him in the last transaction.

The masked man sighed: "Forget it, seven crossbows are enough."

After speaking, he took a deep look at Lin Bei, then slowly backed away, and his figure slowly disappeared into the woods.

His original plan was to set up a trap during the third transaction and invite you into the urn.

After the transaction is completed and ten bows and crossbows are obtained, cooperate with these crossbows to kill the opponent in one fell swoop!

But now, he was not prepared at all, and there was only one accomplice of his in the woods, the purpose was just to respond.

As for crossbowmen, there are none at all.

Lin Bei predicted his arrangement in advance and canceled the third transaction, which caught him off guard.

He was not at all sure that he could keep the other party, so he simply retreated with the bow and crossbow, treating it as a normal transaction.

"Seven bows and crossbows are enough, let's meet up with the brothers first, recruit a group of low-level casual cultivators, and make it bigger and stronger!"

The masked man thought in his heart.

As for whether to come back and get back the game after becoming bigger and stronger, that's another matter.

"Prudent enough..."

Seeing the masked man retreating into the woods, Lin Bei turned and left.

The deep woods are eerie in the dark night, like a sleeping monster, mysterious and unpredictable inside.

This made Lin Bei not have the slightest thought of chasing and killing.

The other party chose to trade in this small forest, and had already planned the route, and there were accomplices hiding behind to respond, if he chased them rashly, he might fall into a trap.

If the other party came directly to kill him, then he was [-] to [-]% sure to keep him.

"Just treat it as a normal transaction, anyway, I've already earned the money."

Lin Bei didn't worry about these things.

The two sides of the transaction did not completely tear their skins apart, which can be regarded as a successful transaction.

Lin Bei never planned to earn all the money for the ten bows and crossbows, and the seven bows and crossbows also cost 210 taels of silver, which is enough!
……

Today, Lin Bei went to blacksmithing as usual.

But found that [Dali Blacksmith Shop] was much colder, and the atmosphere was depressed, and the yelling was a little weaker than usual.

Lin Bei walked to Huang Chang's casting furnace and asked, "What's going on today, something big happened?"

Huang Chang glanced at him, then looked up at the innermost position, and found that Jiang Dali was not there, so he said, "Oh, something really happened, it's about our blacksmith shop!"

"What's the big deal?"

Lin Bei frowned and asked in due time.

Huang Chang sighed, and said in a low voice, "The backer of [Dali Blacksmith Shop] has fallen!"

The backer fell? !
Lin Bei was startled, "Does our blacksmith shop still have a backing?"

"You just came here not long ago, so it's normal not to know."

Huang Chang waved his hand, and continued: "The backer of our [Dali Blacksmith Shop] is a military leader from a nearby county, who committed a crime and went in recently."

"Well, our business may have to be reduced by two or three, and we have to tighten our belts for a while."

Lin Bei was a little puzzled: "The military's backing has collapsed, how can the order be reduced by [-]-[-]%?"

He didn't expect that [Dali Blacksmith Shop] actually had the backing of the military.

Since there is such a backing, it stands to reason that most of the swords and weapons in the blacksmith shop should flow into the army.

Now that the orders from the army are gone, [Dali Blacksmith Shop] should suffer a lot, so why are there [-] to [-]% less orders?
"You don't understand that."

Huang Chang showed a smug look on his face, and patted Lin Bei on the shoulder: "Although you are a forging genius, you are very talented in casting, but you are so sophisticated in the world, and the news of the market is not as good as those of us old world."

"That's natural. The world is not about fighting and killing, but about the ways of the world. I have to learn from you in this regard."

Lin Bei smiled and said a few compliments.

Of course he knows that his title of genius is more or less envied by others.

There is no harm in lowering your posture sometimes, as long as you are not humble.

"The rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, but people's sophistication..."

Huang Chang muttered to himself, repeated it, and then clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay! What a world is not about fighting and killing, but about people's understanding of the world!"

He looked at Lin Bei, and was full of admiration: "You people with extraordinary talents have a high level of understanding. I think I have barely touched this level of understanding when I was in my thirties, but you just said it out!"

"Where is it, I'm just hearing it."

Lin Bei didn't take credit for it, it wasn't his comprehension in the first place.

"By the way, the order you said was cut by [-] to [-]%, what's going on?"

Seeing that the topic went off track, Lin Bei quickly pulled it back.
