Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 450 Another Disaster

The word "send" uttered by Sun Yixie carries a lot of weight.

It was so heavy that Ding Buzhu didn't dare to respond for a moment, let alone reach out to take the Silkworm-hunting Ring.

At this moment, Ding couldn't help but fully realize the phrase that we modern people are very familiar with - free is the most expensive.

Now, if Ding Buzhu agreed to the condition proposed by Sun Yixie, it would mean that he would bear all the risks he would face after obtaining the Silkworm Seeking Ring, as well as all the costs of searching for the Heavenly Silkworm Art, while Shuangxie would not have to do anything to share the benefits he would eventually gain.

Even this can't be called "equal division"...

Dividing something into several relatively even parts is called dividing it equally.

But martial arts skills are not something that can be divided equally. If you show it to others, what they get and you get is a complete set of skills. Maybe in the end, they are more talented than you, and after mastering it, they are even better than you. In that case, you are at a loss.

To take a step back, even if it is "divided equally", for example, what is to be divided today is not martial arts, but gold, silver and treasures that can be divided into several parts... then Ding will still be at a loss.

After thinking about it, Ding Buzhu's face darkened: "Young Master Sun, this condition is... a bit too much, isn't it?" His tone was not so polite, "Isn't this the same as asking Ding to take the risk and search for the magic power for the two of you?"

"Hey~ That's wrong..." At this time, Huang Donglai interrupted again, "Boss Ding, think about it this way... Suppose we make some other requests today, such as money, and then sell the Silkworm Seeking Ring to you directly, then you will have to bear the subsequent risks, right? And you will have to work hard to find the magic skill, right? So the difference is just that after you find the magic skill, do you read it by yourself, or share it with us?"

"Heh..." Ding couldn't help but laugh at what he said, "Then I might as well explain it more clearly..." He paused, "Let's not talk about 'magic skills', for any superior martial arts, isn't it true that the fewer people know it, the more valuable it is?

"Take the Heavenly Silkworm Skill as an example. If I am the only one who learns it, I will very likely become the number one martial artist in the Central Plains.

“But if I share with you two, then given your ages, as long as your qualifications are not too low, you will surpass me sooner or later. Wouldn’t it be like I’ve been busy for a long time just to be the third in command?

“Isn’t the difference…big?”

What he said makes sense, or rather, even if he didn't say it, it would be obvious, but some people are just pretending to be confused.

"But you have to think like this..." In less than two seconds, Huang Donglai began to argue, "If we don't give you the ring, will you not even be qualified to take risks, seek divine power... and finally become the third in command?"

"That's right~" Sun Yixie also said, "Besides... I might as well make it clearer. Boss Ding, after you find the magic skill, will you show it to us as agreed? Anyway, the magic skill will be in your hands by then, and you will definitely practice it first. If you lie and say that you didn't find it, didn't practice it, or lost it... who can prove that you are lying?
"Or maybe you will just turn against us by then, relying on your invincibility? Or forge a fake magic skill for us? Also, who knows how many years it will take you to find the magic skill? Will we still be alive when you find it? These are all unknowns. If you think about it this way... aren't we also taking a big risk?"

These two paragraphs by Sun Huang are more thorough and profound than what Ding Buzhi said.

You'd think Ding Zhu couldn't think of this, but that's not the case. He just hadn't reacted to it at that moment, but now that Sun Yixie reminded him, hey! He suddenly understood!
"Hmm..." At this time, Ding couldn't help but groan, thinking, "Let's do it! I'm also slow-witted! If I had known earlier, I would have agreed right away. Now these two guys have made it so clear... If I agree again, wouldn't it seem that I was reminded by what they said and was ready to do that..."

Snapped--

However, Ding was not a simple person. He came up with another plan and slammed the table and stood up.

"Hmph!" Ding stood up and blew his beard and glared, shouting, "Young Master Sun, Young Master Huang, who do you think I am? Our Jia Gang is well-known for its credibility in the martial arts world. If I am like what you just said... a dishonest, despicable and shameless villain, then I would have hidden your Silkworm Seeking Ring today and not come to discuss this business with you. Now I am negotiating with you in a friendly way, but you are treating me like this. Isn't this too much?"

What he said was like he was using his act of stealing other people's things and then claiming that he was "protecting" them as a logical basis and argument.

Coupled with the pretending to lose his temper, the matter has been turned from a logical argument to an emotional argument; this move... is similar to two people arguing, and one of them suddenly stops discussing the cause of the argument and starts focusing on "How could you be so rude to me during the argument" or "Even if I did something wrong, you shouldn't have embarrassed me in front of my friends."

This makes it seem as if Sun and Huang have done something wrong.

I have to say that Ding Buzhu's move is quite powerful. At least it is enough for ordinary heroes or normal people.

But Sun Huang is not an ordinary person...

Snapped--

The next second, Sun Yixie also slammed the table and stood up, his voice even louder than Ding's: "Fuck it! Sun never meant that! Brother Ding, how could you wrongly accuse me like this! Ah——" He yelled, picked up a plate on the table and smashed it on the edge of the table.

Just when Ding couldn't help but think that Sun Yixie was going to cut him with the plate, and instinctively raised his arm to prepare for the attack...

"I won't say any more! It's all my fault! It was me who made Brother Ding misunderstand me! I can only commit seppuku to apologize!" Sun Yixie suddenly said this, and raised the half broken plate, as if he was going to stab it into his own stomach.

Ding was shocked when he saw it.

He thought to himself, "What is this? What's wrong with this person? Is it that serious?"

He was just frightened when Sun Yixie really started to attack him, stabbing a plate into his abdomen.

Of course, we all know that Brother Sun has a protective armor, so even if he is stabbed by a knife, he can't be killed, let alone a plate.

"No!" But Ding Buzhu didn't know. He saw the speed at which Sun Yixie was stabbing, and it seemed that he really had no intention of living. So he had to stop him. If Sun Yixie really committed seppuku today on the territory of the Youjia Gang because of a few words, and died at the transaction table involving the Xuncan Ring, how would Ding Buzhu explain it to the world in the future? Or who would believe him if he explained it? Wouldn't this give the entire martial arts world an excuse to encircle and suppress him and take away the Xuncan Ring? How could that work?
It happened in a flash, and in a split second, Ding Buzhu used almost all his life's knowledge. Under the balance of not being able to hurt the opponent, but having to stop him, he accurately chopped out a palm to the side and deflected Sun Yixie's falling wrist, and knocked half of the plate out of his hand.

But before Ding Buzhu could say anything, on the other side... Huang Donglai suddenly stood up, threw a plate, and shouted as if to join in the fun: "I'm wrong too! How about I cut my neck to liven up the fun!"

"Don't!" Ding was so stunned that he rushed to Huang Donglai again, tightly grasped his wrist, and shouted sincerely, "Ding has no intention of blaming you two! Don't be impulsive!"

Well, now his pretending to be angry just now was in vain, and the interaction between the three of them was really touching in the eyes of others... that is, Hu Wenzhi and Fanning, or it was so touching that it seemed a little fake.

If the three of you were in the same relationship as Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, this story would be believable, but you three just met, it's really not possible...

To make a long story short, Ding had to "comfort" him several times before Sun Huang stopped his shameless behavior and sat down again.

At this moment, Ding Buzhu was no longer thinking about how strategic these two guys were. Instead, he was muttering, "Okay, so they are two lunatics. Did I overthink it before? Now that I think about it, from the beginning to now, these two guys may not have thought of anything. They just kept doing the crazy things that only naughty kids would do, and then made all kinds of outrageous demands?"

As he thought about it, Sun Yixie's glare at him, Huang Donglai pouring wine, and Sun and Huang's various giant baby-like words and deeds suddenly all came to the first level from the third level, and they all seemed very reasonable...

"Or... let me think about the matter of finding the silkworm ring again, and you two should go back and think about it again..." Finally, Ding Buzhu chose to give in.

He calmed down and thought about it. Anyway, he already knew where the Silkworm Ring was, and as long as Sun Huang did not leave Shanghai County, he was still in his territory. There was still a lot of room for maneuver. He didn't need to rush and finish the matter tonight.

"Okay, since Boss Ding said so, then we will just obey your command." Huang Donglai saw that the other party could not hold out any longer, so he just opened his mouth to make some cheap remarks.

"Now that we've finished talking about the ring, it's time to get down to business, right?" Sun Yixie couldn't wait to continue.

Ding Buzhu was also confused when he heard this. He thought, isn't the matter of finding the silkworm ring the main topic? Could it be that... the matter of finding the silkworm ring is not important to you, and it prevents you from talking about other more important things?
"Uh...what's the main topic?" Ding Buzhu couldn't help but wonder.

"Call the girls! What else can we do when we come to the brothel?" Sun Yixie had been holding back on this for a long time. After saying it, he stopped pretending and added in a high tone, "Damn it... No! I must meet the top girl in Xinghui Building today to calm down. Brother Ding, you won't refuse, right?"

"Heh... heh..." Ding couldn't help but twitch his lips twice, and smiled awkwardly. He was more certain that these two guys were on the first floor... no, on the underground floor. "Okay, okay, I'll go and tell them right away..."

…………

About a quarter of an hour later, Qian Meimei, the top performer of Xinghui Tower, was finally invited.

Qian Meimei is not her real name but a pseudonym. Her real name is Cao and she is from Jinhua. Her family used to be in the antique business, mainly dealing in porcelain and jade. However, her family suffered a misfortune a few years ago and she ended up in a brothel.

Of course, this kind of lady from a noble family, who is also the top performer in Xinghui Tower, would sell her art but not her body. The reason behind this was also mentioned in the previous article when we wrote about Miss Chuxue in "Qiliou Youlan". To simplify it in one sentence, the period when a top performer does not sell herself is the period when her value is the highest.

Today, Miss Qian was not going to see any guests because, according to her, she had hemorrhoids.

But in fact, it is not...

It is true that Miss Qian has hemorrhoids, and they often occur, but tonight, she just used hemorrhoids as an excuse to do other things.

What's the matter?

Committing a crime against the wind...

I think all of you readers have guessed it - the chivalrous thief "Cao Le" who has recently become famous in Shanghai County, his real identity is Qian Meimei.

So when the county magistrate issued a wanted notice for her today, she immediately planned to go out and do some more activities in response.

However, just because you, the listeners, can easily guess something, doesn't mean the characters in the story can also guess it. It's just like the people in Gotham couldn't guess that Batman was Bruce Wayne. The people in our book would never have imagined that "Cao Le" would actually be the top prostitute in a brothel.

Besides, if you really break it down, "Cao Le" and "Qian Meimei" are indeed two different people, which is what our modern medicine calls "multiple personality disorder". Moreover, her two personalities can talk to each other, cooperate with each other, and exchange control of the body at any time...so her hidden identity is really difficult to detect.

"Gentlemen, thank you for your courtesy." After Qian Meimei entered the room, she bowed gracefully. Although her etiquette was correct, her expression and tone were full of unhappiness and reluctance.

There was nothing for her to pretend. She came here only because her boss had asked her to come. Under normal circumstances, even if she wanted to meet a guest, the guest should come to her place and let her take a look in the dark first. It was not her turn to come to the door herself.

"Ah? You are the top star?" Sun Yixie took a look at the person who came. Although her appearance and figure were good-looking, she was not as beautiful as he had imagined. It could be said that she was not his type. Therefore, he was immediately disappointed, and his disappointment was written on his face and revealed in his words.

Of course, this can't be entirely blamed on Brother Sun. After all, with his education level, if he followed the normal procedures, he would never see the top prostitute in such a high-end brothel...

He also didn't know that at that time, the top prostitute in a brothel was not just judged by her looks, but her talent was more important.

Some people may say that you are talking as if Brother Sun has never been to a brothel? Isn't he always eating and doing it?

This is your stereotype. You can think about it carefully... At least in our book, Brother Sun did not go to brothels very often. We have described the process of the few times he went there, and there is nothing unspeakable. Anyway, when he went to brothels, he was either to ambush others or to be ambushed.

"Is there anything I can do to displease you, sir?" Qian Meimei was not a pushover either. As soon as she came in and said hello, she was greeted by someone saying "You?" How could she not be angry? So she started to retort.

"Well, he's dissatisfied as soon as we meet. That means he must be dissatisfied with your looks." Huang Donglai, who was there to watch the fun, didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.

"What's wrong with my appearance?" This time, Miss Qian even changed the way she addressed herself, and her tone became even more sharp.

“Nothing, nothing…” Sun Yixie, who had lost interest, felt that he was a bit rude to the girl and just wanted to make a small matter out of it. “It’s just that I don’t like your taste…”

"But when you said that, it seemed as if it was my fault?" Miss Qian became even angrier when she heard him say that, so her reply became more and more aggressive.

"Hey!" Sun Yixie was already very upset with Ding Buzhu tonight, and now he was scolded several times. He wondered why he gave in but the other party still refused to give in. This was unreasonable. "Fuck! What's your attitude?"

"I have the same attitude as you, what's the problem?" But Miss Qian did not give in at all.

By now everyone can see that Qian Meimei, although she is a woman, has a very straightforward character, or in other words, she is "reckless"; the four sentences she just said in response to Sun Huang can be translated as: "Tell me my problem", "What's my problem?", "Is this my problem?", "Give you face?"

Then it became lively, and the two sides actually started arguing...

But let’s not talk about the result of the argument for now, and talk about something else.

At the same time, several sneaky figures appeared outside the inn where Sun and Huang were staying.

These people are not from the Youjia Gang, but Jin Yu's men.

What they are going to do is very simple, just two words - put the blame on others.
