Chapter 1369
However, Lu Tiankui and Lin Changbai could understand Ye Xiao's choice.
After all, Hong Lie promised a mineral vein!
Even if there was only one vein, it would be enough to develop tens of billions of dollars in value. If Ye Xiao was really hired by Ou Baisheng, how could he not be tempted?
At this moment, a hint of teasing flashed across Hong Lie's lowered eyes, and then he pretended to be serious and said: "Sir, I believe you have just heard the conversation between Mr. Lu and Ou Baisheng!"
"Ou Baisheng will hand over 80% of the mineral veins in his hands. If you do as I say, I can give you 10%."
"This is tens of billions. If you get this mineral vein, you don't need to be hired by others to work for others in the future. You just need to practice your martial arts with peace of mind."
Hearing this, Ye Xiao nodded and said, "What General Hong Lie said is indeed very tempting. Tens of billions are enough for me to practice for decades and have no worries about food and drink."
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Hong Lie's hanging heart suddenly calmed down a lot, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could no longer be concealed. He once again despised Ye Xiao from the bottom of his heart.
However, just when Hong Lie was about to go one step further and urge Ye Xiao to release him, suddenly, Ye Xiao changed the subject and said:
"General Hong Lie, you only give me 10% of the ore veins. Do you think I am only worth this price, or is your head worth 10%?"
"Uh!" Hong Lie was stunned.
"Sir, if you think it is too little, we can still talk!" Hong Lie grinded his teeth and smiled.
"It is indeed too little. I want 70%, and the rest belongs to you."
"It is rare for me to come to the Emerald Country, and you live here, and you can slowly make money in the future!" Ye Xiao said casually.
Hearing this, the smile on Hong Lie's face froze on his face. He only realized now that Ye Xiao was not bargaining with him at all, but was planning to cut off his price at the ankle!
"Boy, you'd better know your place. General Hong Lie gave you 10%, which is the blessing you have cultivated for eight lifetimes. How dare you be so greedy? Do you want us to work for you?"
Lu Tiankui burst out in anger. He had planned so much and even sacrificed a son. He originally planned to make a lot of money and get the biggest piece of the pie.
But now, this kid who didn't do anything actually asked him to share 10% with Lin Changbai and Hong Lie.
Although he knew that this would be impossible in the end, he still couldn't help but feel angry.
"Boy, it seems that you really want to fight to the death with me?"
"I, Hong Lie, was not scared. I fought hard in this Emerald Country to reach my current position. If I die, you will be blown into a pulp."
"Everyone listen, raise your guns and shoot immediately. After I die, no matter how much it costs, you must cut off this guy's head for me."
Hong Lie roared hoarsely, his voice was sonorous and powerful, as if he was really willing to risk his life and perish with Ye Xiao.
In fact, Hong Lie was different from Tu Luo, the commander of the Xiang Kingdom who was kidnapped by Ye Xiao in the Xiang Kingdom. The latter was used to a comfortable life, so it was difficult for him to have the blood to fight for his life.
But the Emerald Country where Hong Lie was located was in a state of unrest all year round. Hong Lie went to the front line to kill the enemy countless times. If it really came to the moment of risking his life, he was willing to fight.
After hearing Hong Lie's order, hundreds of soldiers under his command pulled the bolts of their guns.
They all echoed in unison: "We will avenge the general until we die!"
"We will avenge the general until we die!"
The voice was so loud that it shook the entire mining area.
Seeing Hong Lie's men were eager to fight, Ou Baisheng couldn't help but feel nervous. If they really started fighting, Ye Xiao would be able to escape, but he would be shot into a hornet's nest by Hong Lie's men!
"He's done for, Ye Xiao's done for!"
However, Lu Tiankui and Lin Changbai, who were standing by, were a little happy about this. If Hong Lie died, wouldn't they be able to get more shares of the mineral veins?
They had a cooperative relationship with Hong Lie, and at most they could just move to another place after this incident.
They didn't care who was the county magistrate, as long as they could be the county magistrate's wife.
Just when Hong Lie was tense and betting on whether Ye Xiao dared to kill him, all of Hong Lie's subordinates were concentrating on aiming their guns at Ye Xiao, ensuring that they would shoot at the first moment if Ye Xiao made the slightest move.
Ye Xiao smiled calmly and said, "General Hong Lie, why are you so angry? We can still discuss it properly. If it doesn't work, I'll take 60%. How about that?"
"If you're late, you won't get even a hair."
"Boy, youIf you want to kill me, just kill me. Stop whining here." Hong Lie roared with red eyes. In his opinion, Ye Xiao was just playing psychological tactics with him. Ye Xiao only relied on his personal force. How could he work in the Emerald Country? Such a person would die under guns sooner or later. On the other side, Ou Baisheng sneered in his heart. These people really regarded Ye Xiao as a fool. Don't they think that a warrior who has reached the late stage of seeing the gods will be a fool? Of course, if Ou Baisheng had seen Ye Menglong, he would probably not be so sure. "Boy, people die for money and birds die for food. Can you eat so many mineral veins?" Hong Lie said in a cold tone. Now he has understood that he should have been fooled by Ye Xiao. This kid didn't fall into his trap at all. "General Hong Lie, you have eaten so much of the people's blood and sweat, why are you not afraid of extinction? "Ye Xiao grinned and chuckled.
"Besides, you were the one who made the joke first. I made a joke to you, but you can't play it. Are you so hypocritical?"
"Huh!" Hong Lie exhaled two long breaths from his nostrils, and he was obviously very angry about Ye Xiao's words.
Ye Xiao sneered and shook his head, "If you don't seize the opportunity given to you, you really have no chance to get involved in the jade mine resources of the Ou family."
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Hong Lie, Lu Tiankui, Lin Changfa and others were all confused. They didn't know what nonsense Ye Xiao was talking about. If they wanted to seize the jade mine of the Ou family, did they still need Ye Xiao, a reckless man, to give them a chance?
But the doubts of several people did not last too long, and they got the answer.
Because soon after Ye Xiao's voice fell, everyone heard a neat marching and running sound.
Then, there was a mocking laugh, "Hong Lie, I didn't expect you to have this day! "
"You are not just stealing a chicken and losing the rice, but you are going to lose your life! Hahaha!"
Hearing this voice, Hong Lie, who was pinched by Ye Xiao, looked gloomy and his teeth were clattering. He was very familiar with this voice.
Because these years, the two have been fighting openly and secretly, and each has the intention of swallowing up the other.
Yes, the visitor is Zang Xiong, another warlord of the Jade Country, who received Ye Xiao's text message and marched urgently.
Because Hong Lie and Lu Lin had made detailed plans, and Hong Lie started to deploy troops as early as last night, so Zang Xiong knew nothing about it.
Even the tail he sent The adjutant who followed Ye Xiao was also captured by Hong Lie's men. Fortunately, Ye Xiao sent him a message in time.
Otherwise, he would have suffered a loss, not only would he have lost a general, but he would also have lost his biggest sponsor, Ou Baisheng. In this way, as one side gained strength while the other lost strength, he would be swallowed up by Hong Lie sooner or later.
But now, not only did Hong Lie's plan fail, but even Hong Lie himself was captured by Ye Xiao. Although Zang Xiong was not ready for a full-scale war with Hong Lie due to the sudden incident, Hong Lie was undoubtedly sure to lose face.
