Chapter 131 Counterfeit goods for two thousand gold
Murong Xiu originally thought Jiang You's expression was a bit strange, but before he could think about it deeply, the movement outside had already disturbed him.
The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground was the sound of his guards being hit on the ground.
He knew that Su Yan was very strong, but he didn't expect that he was so strong!
Murong Xiu looked towards the door, and at that moment, a person came over and hit the door panel hard, and the door was pulled open.
Then, a guard rolled into the room.
Jiang You glanced over and quickly ran towards the door.
Upon seeing this, Murong Xiu immediately stepped forward and grabbed Jiang You's left shoulder.
Jiang You stopped in pain and turned around to push Murong Xiu's hand, but how could she be Murong Xiu's opponent?
Murong Xiu forcefully pulled her in front of him and said coldly: "Do you think you can escape the palm of my hand?"
Jiang You looked up at Murong Xiu, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Then do you think... you can stop me?"
Murong Xiu disagreed: "What I want is a painting, and Su Yan will be willing to dedicate it to you."
Murong Xiu too understood Su Yan's thoughts about Jiang You. Even if the plot was now biased, he believed that with how much Su Yan cared about Jiang You, how could a painting be as important as Jiang You?
"Let's go, let Su Yan take a good look at you." Murong Xiu squeezed Jiang You's shoulders and pushed Jiang You out of the door.
Outside the house, there was a pitch-black night sky with torches all around, making the scenery slightly dim.
Murong Xiu pushed Jiang You out of the house and stood at the door. Behind them was a bright house, and the light reflected them, and it also reflected them very clearly.
Jiang You saw Su Yan, and he did not come alone. Fu Sheng and Yi Kai did not come, but several other guards came with them. The skills of these people were no worse than Murong Xiu's secret guards.
Su Yan kicked away a secret guard and stopped there. He looked at Murong Xiu grabbing Jiang You's shoulders. His face turned cold. He pointed his sword at Murong Xiu and said, "Let her go!"
Seeing this scene in front of him, Murong Xiu only regretted that he had forgotten to add one more sentence and let Su Yan come alone.
However, with Jiang You in hand, he has nothing to worry about.
He looked at Su Yan, smiled coldly, and said: "Su Yan, are you pointing your sword at me? Jiang You is in my hands, and it's you who wants to ask for something from me. Do you understand?"
Su Yan's eyes were extremely cold: "Don't you just want to paint? Let her go and I will paint for you!"
Murong Xiu chuckled: "You are really affectionate towards her. I know that using her to threaten you will definitely work."
As Murong Xiu spoke, the strength on his hands also became stronger.
Su Yan looked at it, and the worry in his eyes was very obvious.
He took out the painting and said: "The painting is here, let her go!"
When Murong Xiu saw the painting, the movements of his hands relaxed a little, and he said: "Throw the painting over. I know that you are reluctant to let her go. Since you want to protect her, don't be reluctant to part with this painting."
Jiang You recovered from the previous pain, and the pain only made her mind clearer.
She said: "That painting is mine. Use my painting in exchange for my life. Murong Xiu, you are really good at calculating!"
"If you hadn't interfered, that painting would have been my king's!" Murong Xiu's eyes were extremely cold!
In the original book, this painting was presented to the Queen Mother by the hands of the second prince Murong Xian on her birthday. Since then, Murong Xian has received the support of the Queen Mother. The painting was also acquired by chance by the second prince, as mentioned in the book
, that painting was brought out from Yuxian Town by a retainer of the second prince, and it only cost a hundred gold.
After Murong Xiu came to this world, he kept this matter in mind, so he found a way to go to Yuxian Town early, thinking that spending a thousand gold would never go wrong.
But who would have thought that Jiang You would beat him at the price of one more gold, which was incredible!
If he hadn't told anyone about his bid beforehand, he would have suspected that Jiang You knew his base price!
Jiang You listened to Murong Xiu's words and sneered: "Didn't you say before that you were willing to pay two thousand gold to buy this painting? If you give two thousand gold, I will transfer this painting to you."
"How dare you negotiate terms with me when you are already in my hands?" Murong Xiu found it unbelievable.
"What am I afraid of? I got the painting, why can't I negotiate terms?" Jiang You said calmly, "If you don't agree to my terms, I can destroy the painting immediately."
"Jiang You, do you think I don't dare to kill you?" Murong Xiu said coldly, "Besides, the choice is not in your hands now. If Su Yan wants to save you, he has to hand over the painting!"
Murong Xiu said and turned to Su Yan.
Jiang You also looked at Su Yan at this moment.
The surrounding environment was dim, and she could not clearly see Su Yan's face. He was completely hidden in the gloomy environment, holding the painting in his hand, but she could feel Su Yan's concern for her.
It was like this every time. After Su Yan appeared, all she could feel was concern.
She had doubts about her past life before, and had thought that Murong Xiu might have been sincere to her, but now she realized that the most ridiculous thing was herself...
Is it really that hard to admit that you are blind?
From the beginning to the end, she was just a chess piece in Murong Xiu's eyes, a chess piece used to deal with Su Yan.
Her sincerity was fake, her concern was also fake, Murong Xiu was just using her to deal with Su Yan from the beginning to the end. And the funny thing was that she never knew how much Su Yan had done for her...
What she didn't know was how much Su Yan had paid for her, and she didn't know anything about it. The two of them were wasted by Murong Xiu Sheng in their short lives, and in the end, she didn't even know that Su Yan died because of her.
The words Nan Rongzhi said were swirling in her mind, and she felt that she was really hopelessly stupid.
Even though it was Su Yan who hurt her in the beginning, did she hurt Su Yan enough? He had already paid off his guilt for her, but she didn't know anything...
Jiang You twitched the corner of her lips and said to Murong Xiu: "You are wrong, who says what I said does not count? Su Yan will naturally listen to me. Two thousand gold, even one gold less, will not work. If you don't believe it, you
Just give it a try, I will ask Su Yan to destroy the painting immediately, you can try to see who is faster!"
"You don't want your life!" Murong Xiu looked at Jiang You in disbelief.
Jiang You felt that her shoulder blades were about to be crushed by Murong Xiu. She frowned, but still refused to lower her head: "It depends on you, Murong Xiu, whether the painting is more important, or whether the money and my life are more important.
…”
Murong Xiu took a breath.
He had to admit that Jiang You was really good at calculating people's hearts, and he had no chance of winning against her schemes.
He squeezed Jiang You's left shoulder hard. After hearing a crisp sound, he let go of Jiang You and shouted in a low voice: "Come here! Give them two thousand gold!"
Jiang You was so painful that she broke into a cold sweat. She took two steps forward, but could not stand firm.
She lowered her head and raised a mocking smile on her lips.
A fake piece can be exchanged for two thousand gold, which is quite good.
