Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Moving into the New House (32)
The Night Pavilion, regardless of whether the task is completed or not, demands half the payment upfront, but this was the first time Qin Yu had failed in many years.
Therefore, in the Martial World, he held very high prestige, especially when it came to killing or arson. Many people would seek out Night Pavilion, hoping that Ye Hang would personally take action.
But the price commanded by Ye Hang was also extremely high.
“It’s just Silver, isn’t it?” Sun Yian exclaimed as he motioned with his hand, and a woman came over holding a Brocade Box, “There are fifty thousand taels inside this box. Just kidnap the person, and I’ll pay another fifty thousand taels!”
“Ha!” the man chuckled, “It seems Young Master Sun has not inquired properly about the Night Pavilion’s rates!”
Fifty thousand taels, a lot?
The Night Pavilion never thought so.
After all, an assassination task on Qin Yu, the sellers would start with one million taels, and after the completion of the task, another million taels would be paid.
Because the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch would control a Silver Mountain, which the Imperial Court had tried several times to take over but never succeeded.
People die for wealth as birds die for food; many do not wish for another Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch to emerge from Number One Manor.
“Then how much do you want?” Sun Yian asked, his voice heavy.
“The woman of Prince Han, without five hundred thousand taels, Night Pavilion will not undertake the task!”
Five hundred thousand taels.
The Night Pavilion sure dared to ask for it.
But that phrase, the woman of Prince Han, made Sun Yian’s blood boil.
He had his way with all kinds of women, other men’s wives, his own cousins and sisters-in-law, even his father’s concubines, but never the women of princes or royal family members.
That woman, she was truly beautiful, especially the aura she gave off, warm yet clean, catching one’s glance and instantly making the heart itch.
“I’ll give you six hundred thousand taels, three days, deliver her to this residence in three days!”
The man laughed, “Deal!”
With three hundred thousand taels in silver notes in hand, the man leaped out of the residence.
The other young masters in the courtyard watched Sun Yian with great envy.
Did the County Magistrate have money? Yes! But not as much as Sun Yian, who was uninhibited in matters of meat and vegetables.
Ye Hang, looking at the silver notes in front of him, thought over it before speaking, “Find a way to arrange a meeting with Miss Xie, I want to discuss a deal with her!”
On the boat
Xie Zhinuan sneezed, coughing twice.
Just to realize, dawn had broken.
She tidied herself up, descended from the upper deck, and found out that Qin Yu and Zhao Xiuya had already left. Pushing open the door of the cabin, she saw Qin Mao still asleep, so she picked him up and carried him upstairs.
Some people watched but dared not make a sound.
She placed Qin Mao on the bed, letting him sleep with Xie Yi.
But just as Xie Zhinuan left the room, the two children on the bed simultaneously opened their eyes, silently looking at each other, neither speaking a word.
“…”
“…”
Almost instantly, the two of them silently turned over, back to back.
Qin Mao was always sensitive; he knew Xie Yi didn’t like him, fearing that he would steal his mother away.
As for Xie Yi, a child in body but an adult in mind, he didn’t enjoy playing with Qin Mao, feeling that he would steal his mother.
Both children had their own thoughts.
Xie Zhinuan, downstairs, instructed the guards to pack up and move to the new house.
Since Qin Yu had given it to her, she truly liked the large house. The number of people around her was growing, and she indeed needed a larger house.
Besides, when Li Hengyi arrived, with his Hidden Guards and attendants, there’d be even more people.
“Yes!”
Xie Zhinuan had just given the orders when mule carts soon appeared, waiting at the dock.
Xie Yi and Qin Mao also woke up, both children dressed alike, looking very adorable.
“Let’s go, we’re going home!” Xie Zhinuan said, leading one child with each hand onto the carriage.
Mu Rourou quickly climbed in, giggling happily.
“Sister Xie, when will we go out shopping?”
She had silver, and she wanted to buy things.
To buy food, to buy toys; she wanted to play with Nine Linked Rings and also craved all kinds of street food.
“Wait two days. Once Amao is feeling a bit better and can eat street food, we will go out!” Xie Zhinuan said with a light laugh, tenderly ruffling Qin Mao’s hair.
