Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

"Snow Moon City is so huge, you can't possibly be unable to come up with even eight hundred taels of silver, right? Who among you can tell me who has the money?"

Tang Lian subconsciously looked at Sikong Changfeng who was standing beside her.

Seeing this, Sikong Changfeng smiled slightly, took the initiative to step forward, and walked to Xiao Se's side.

"I'll be responsible for all expenses in Xueyue City, but don't worry about paying back the money. Tang Lian told me your name is Xiao Se?"

Xiao Se replied indifferently: "So what?"

Lu Xiao knew that Sikong Changfeng would definitely have something to discuss privately with Xiao Se, so he gave Tang Lian a look.

He motioned for him to come up and take Lei Wujie over.

Tang Lian understood and immediately stepped forward to help Lei Wujie.

Chapter 162: Pyrotechnics

After watching Tang Lian help Lei Wujie down, Sikong Changfeng and Xiao Se had already walked to the pavilion not far away.

There was a chessboard placed between the two of them.

Play chess and chat at the same time.

But Xiao Se was very different this time. His words were full of sarcasm and ambiguity, making him look very unpleasant.

Lu Xiao knew in his heart that he was no longer the tavern owner who had traveled the world with him - Xiao Se.

He is the Sixth Prince of Beili, Prince Yong'an Xiao Chuhe.

From the perspective of Yong'an King Xiao Chuhe, he actually hated Xueyue City in his heart.

Or rather, complaining.

Or maybe blame.

He blamed Sikong Changfeng and Xueyuecheng for not saving the King of Langya.

Lu Xiao then stepped forward.

At this point, the two had only made a few moves, and Xiao Se appeared nonchalant, throwing his chess pieces onto the board at random.

"Go is a trick, not a true way. I never thought that the Third Lord of Snow Moon City would be so immersed in trickery."

The tone was very disdainful.

Sikong Changfeng didn't care, he just calmly made a move and then said.

"If we use the four cities as chess pieces and the world as the chessboard, can this be considered the Great Dao?"

Xiao Se continued with disdain, "The Third City Lord has a grand plan, but I'm not interested in that. In my opinion, no plan can outweigh silver."

Sikong Changfeng was puzzled, "You don't want to do this, but you still want money. I really don't understand."

Xiao Se turned his head and subconsciously glanced into the distance, which was the direction of Tianqi City.

Tianqi City is the capital of Beili Kingdom.

Then he said, "Of course I have other uses for it. If you don't want to give it to me, forget it."

Even though they mentioned silver, they didn't really mean it.

Sikong Changfeng's meaning was also very straightforward. Xueyue City could support him to sit on the throne.

It's just that this wasn't explicitly said.

But among intelligent people, there is no need for further explanation.

And Xiao Se's meaning was also very straightforward, what he said.

I'm not interested in the throne, but I still want the support of Snow Moon City.

Therefore, Sikong Changfeng was puzzled.

Xiao Se's explanation was that he needed Xue Yuecheng to help him with something else, and if Xue Yuecheng was unwilling, then forget it.

After saying this, Xiao Se immediately stood up and prepared to leave.

But when he was halfway there, Sikong Changfeng spoke.

"How about this? If you become my apprentice, I'll let you manage the finances of Snow Moon City."

The meaning is very clear, if you become my disciple, my Snow Moon City will support you.

Hearing this, Xiao Se stood still.

"The Third City Lord is very courageous. Is it worth it?"

Sikong Changfeng smiled and said, "This is Xueyue City's choice."

This sentence needs no explanation.

Xiao Se immediately asked, "Monthly salary?"

In fact, I am asking to what extent I can support him.

Sikong Changfeng said: "Eight hundred taels."

The eight hundred taels were not silver, but referred to the friendship between Xiao Se and Lei Wujie.

In other words, the deeper Xiao Se's friendship with Xueyue City, the deeper Xueyue City's support.

But Xiao Se shook his head and said, "Not enough."

Sikong Changfeng immediately asked, "Then how much do you want?"

Xiao Se said without hesitation, "Eight million taels in total, give it to me when you take me out of the city."

He wanted Xueyue City to fully support him regardless of the cost.

But he also said that he would not ask for the money until the day he left the city.

This means that his so-called full support is only for that one thing.

It's the "other uses" he mentioned earlier.

After completing that task, it didn't matter whether Xueyue City continued to support him or not.

This has nothing to do with friendship anymore.

Sikong Qianluo, who was standing beside him, suddenly became anxious after hearing this.

"Eight million taels, why don't you just say you're giving Snow Moon City to you?"

She didn't understand what they were talking about at all.

But Sikong Changfeng understood.

He said directly: "Okay, deal!"

Then he continued, "Although you don't have this ambition, the game has already been set, with the four cities as pawns and the world as the chessboard. When the time comes, all of us will be pawns, including you and me."

The implication is that no matter whether Xiao Se is willing or not, as long as he is involved in this game, some things are beyond his control.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Se immediately snorted coldly.

“That’s just what you think.”

After saying this, Xiao Se immediately prepared to leave.

The conditions had been met, and he had nothing more to say.

But at this moment, Lu Xiao suddenly appeared in the pavilion and said leisurely.

“I disagree.”

"What?"

Sikong Changfeng and Xiao Se, who was about to leave, immediately turned around to look.

"What do you disagree with?"

Lu Xiao said directly, "I don't agree with him taking charge of Xueyue City's finances."

Sikong Changfeng had finally managed to get Xiao Se to agree to become his disciple, and now he didn't want Lu Xiao's antics to ruin the plan.

You know, he has been looking for Xiao Se for several years.

If anything happened to Xiao Se, he would be too embarrassed to face his old friend in the afterlife.

So he said seriously, "Don't mess around, little brat. We weren't talking about money."

He thought Lu Xiao and Sikong Qianluo were the same.

But at this time Lu Xiao replied.

"I know it's not about money. If this guy were Xiao Se now, I would definitely not be here. But he is not Xiao Se now, so I am not representing myself at this moment, but my master, the Second City Lord of Xueyue City. So, Third Master, this matter is not something you can decide on your own."

Lu Xiao rarely addressed Li Hanyi as "Master" in public.

Usually it's the master's wife.

But if he said so.

That means he has something to say, and it's definitely not just a joke, but something serious.

After these words were spoken, Sikong Changfeng fell silent, and Xiao Se also fell silent.

Only Sikong Qianluo asked stupidly.

"Second Brother, what do you mean? What do you mean Xiao Se is not Xiao Se, and you are not yours?"

Lu Xiao looked at her speechlessly.

"Your mother and your father are both extremely intelligent people, but how come your brain is almost as stupid as Lei Wujie? Junior Sister Qianluo, you weren't picked up by the Third Master like me, were you?"

When Sikong Qianluo was little, every time she beat Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao would use similar words to anger her.

When these words came out, Sikong Qianluo immediately became furious and prepared to draw his gun.

But then he thought of Lu Xiao's current cultivation level and finally endured it.

Then she acted coquettishly towards Sikong Changfeng.

"Father, look at Second Brother. He's calling me stupid again in a roundabout way."

Sikong Changfeng immediately said lovingly.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. You know this brat's mouth is real, and there's no point in getting angry with him. My daughter, you should go down first. After we finish talking about this, Daddy will slowly teach him a lesson for you."

Hearing this, Sikong Qianluo became even more dissatisfied.

Then he angrily stepped on Sikong Changfeng.

"Hmph, I'm ignoring you guys."

Then he picked up his spear and turned away.

After she left, Sikong Changfeng and Xiao Se turned their attention back to Lu Xiao.

"What did you mean by that?"

Xiao Se asked first.

Lu Xiao didn't like to hide things when he spoke, so he asked directly.

"What do you think, Sixth Prince of Beili, Prince of Yong'an Xiao Chuhe?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Se and Sikong Changfeng shook the door at the same time.

Chapter 163 Asking for help requires a asking attitude

Xiao Se was naturally shocked when Lu Xiao revealed his identity with just one word, but he quickly calmed down.

Because he had doubts about this for a long time.

Ever since meeting Lu Xiao, he had shown more than once that he knew him well.

Therefore, Xiao Se had long ago suspected whether Lu Xiao knew him.

Now this suspicion can finally be confirmed.

However, he still had a question in his mind, so he looked up at Lu Xiao: "When did you find out who I am?"

Lu Xiao said bluntly, "Is there even any need to see? You have flaws that can be traced from Xueyue City to Tianqi City. Only that idiot Lei Wujie still thinks you're just an ordinary tavern owner. I guessed your identity from the moment we first met."

"Are there really that many?" Xiao Se's focus was clearly strange.
