Chapter 55 The backstage collapsed?
Looking at the fifty taels of silver in his hand, the masked man's expression was a little gloomy and unstable.
He exhaled a long sigh and looked at Lin Bei again: "Let's do this, I will add five taels of silver to each of the remaining three crossbows?"
"This is not a matter of money!"
Lin Bei shook his head, looked at the masked man, sneered, and said meaningfully: "I would rather earn more than a hundred taels of silver than lose my life!"
"What do you mean?"
The masked man raised his eyebrows, but his expression remained unchanged.
Lin Bei said expressionlessly: "I don't believe it. Have you ever thought of killing someone to silence him after the transaction is completed?"
"I have made so much money from you, and I can use the crossbow I have cast for you and then get the lost money back from my body, right?"
His faint question made the masked man look shaky and he clenched his fists quietly.
"This guy..."
The masked man looked at Lin Bei with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Lin Bei's words exposed his plan!
Originally, he planned to wait until the transaction is completed and use Lin Bei as the trading partner to try the quality of these crossbows!
By the way, kill someone to silence the money you handed over!
But now, this plan has been exposed by the opponent in advance!
"What? Want to do it?"
Lin Bei glanced at him and said lightly: "If you think you can kill me, then you can try it!"
Hearing this, the masked man stared at him for a while, then slowly let go of his fist, and said with a strange look: "You are stronger!"
"You are not bad either. I know you still have people hidden in secret, but are you really sure to keep me?"
Lin Bei stared at him coldly, standing with his hands behind his back, looking confident.
He had long noticed that there was an ambush in the forest, probably the masked man's accomplice.
But apart from the three crossbows in their hands, the masked man could only distribute four crossbows.
The four crossbows did not pose much threat to Lin Bei, but he noticed another warrior with good cultivation.
If two opponents like masked men and four crossbows, Lin Bei would not be sure to quickly resolve the battle.
Having said that, it was a dream for the other party to keep him!
"So that's why you changed two transactions to three transactions!"
The masked man suddenly realized.
When he was discussing the transaction, his request was to complete the crossbows in two times, five times at a time.
However, Lin Bei directly refuted it and decided to make three transactions, four of them for the first time, and three of them 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 saying that, he looked at Lin Bei deeply, slowly retreated behind him, and slowly disappeared into the woods.
His original plan was to set a trap during the third transaction and ask you to get into the trap.
After the transaction is completed and after getting the crossbows, cooperate with these crossbows to surround the opponent in one fell swoop!
And now, he was not ready at all, and there was only one of his accomplices in the forest, and his purpose was just to support him.
As for the crossbowman, there is no one at all.
Lin Bei predicted his arrangement in advance and canceled the third transaction, which caught him off guard.
He was not sure that he could keep the other party, so he simply took the bow and crossbow and just regarded it as a normal transaction.
"Seven crossbows are enough. Let's meet up with brothers first, recruit a group of low-level casual cultivators to make them bigger and stronger!"
The masked man thought in his heart.
As for whether to come back to find the place after becoming bigger and stronger, that's another matter.
"Prudent enough..."
Looking at the masked man retreating into the woods, Lin Bei turned around and left.
The deep woods are gloomy and terrifying in the dark night, like a sleeping giant beast, mysterious inside.
This made Lin Bei not have the idea of chasing him.
The other party chose this small woods to trade, and had already planned the route, and there were also friends hiding behind to meet him. If they chased him rashly, they might even have to fall into a trap.
If the other party comes directly, he is 70% or 80% sure to keep it.
"Just treat it as a normal transaction, I have made money anyway."
Lin Bei was not confused about these things.
The two parties to the transaction did not completely break up, and it could be considered a successful transaction.
Lin Bei didn't plan to make all the money from these ten crossbows from beginning to end, and the seven crossbows also cost 210 taels of silver, which is enough!
...
On this day, Lin Bei went to make a blacksmith as usual.
But I found that the [Dali Blacksmith Shop] was much colder and the atmosphere was sluggish, and the shouting was a little weaker than usual.
Lin Bei walked to Huang Chang's casting furnace and asked, "What happened today? Something big happened?"
Huang Chang looked at him, then looked up at the innermost position, and found that Jiang Dali was not there, then he said, "Oh, a big thing has indeed happened, it is a big thing about our blacksmith shop!"
"What's the big deal?"
Lin Bei frowned and asked at the right time.
Huang Chang sighed and lowered his voice, "Our [Dali Blacksmith Shop]'s backer has fallen!"
The backer fell down?!
Lin Bei was shocked, "Our blacksmith shop still has a backer?"
"You just arrived not long ago, it's normal not to know."
Huang Chang waved his hand and continued, "The backer of our [Dali Blacksmith Shop] is a military leader in a nearby county. He has recently made a mistake."
"Oh, our business will probably be cut by 20% or 30%, so we have to tighten our belts and spend some time."
Lin Bei was a little confused: "The military backer has collapsed, how can the order be cut by 20% or 30%?"
He didn't expect that [Dali Blacksmith Shop] actually had a backer for the military.
Since there is such a backer, most swords and weapons in the blacksmith shop should flow into the army.
Since this batch of orders from the army is gone, [Dali Blacksmith Shop] should be a big loss of energy. Why did it take 20% or 30% of the orders to be reduced?
"You don't understand this."
Huang Chang showed a hint of pride in his expression and patted Lin Bei on the shoulder: "Although you are a forging genius, you are gifted in casting, and you are so kind and have worldly affairs and market news, you are not as good as those of us old world."
"That's natural. The world is not about fighting and killing, but about human nature. We have to learn from you in this regard."
Lin Bei smiled and gave a few compliments.
Of course, he knew that his title of genius was more or less envied by others.
Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to lower your posture a little, as long as it’s not humble.
"The world is not about fighting and killing, but about human nature..."
Huang Chang murmured to himself, repeated it, then clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay! What a good world is not about fighting and killing, but about human nature!"
He looked at Lin Bei and exclaimed: "You talented people have a high level of understanding. I think I am in my thirties and I have only barely touched this level of insight, but you just said it casually!"
"I just heard of wherever I am."
Lin Bei did not take credit, and this was not his experience.
"By the way, what's going on when you're cutting the order by 20% or 30%?"
Seeing that the topic went wrong, Lin Bei quickly pulled it back.
