Chapter 95 Ring
The situation turned sharply, and Liu Lin knew that his life was in an instant. At this moment, he was not as panicked as he imagined, but surprisingly quiet. It must be the key to make such a major change in Li Wu's attitude. Yes, that thing is a token and probably a piece of jewelry.
Use jewelry as a token, is this something held by a woman? No, if it is something held by women, they will certainly not be so nervous. The tokens held by women are not universal. Even if they are exiled, the impact is not very great. Men holding women's tokens will only cause unnecessary trouble. If you think so, then this token should be jewelry that men can also wear.
What a man can wear should be rings, necklaces, earrings, headwear, and jade pendants can't be regarded as jewelry. However, necklaces, earrings and headwear are either not easy to carry or display. The action of taking out a necklace from clothes to show tokens to others is also quite indecent. If I were the organizer of tokens, I would not choose this. So, the most likely thing is the ring.
Yes, both men and women can wear it, and it can also be regarded as jewelry. It is very small and can be taken with you. The ring meets all the conditions known now.
For Liu Lin not to think much about it, the sound of the bow string being tightened on the roof came. It seemed that Li Wuzhen was ready to do it. It has to be delayed. He should come back soon. He will definitely come back with a solution to the problem. I need to drag down as much as possible.
"Master Li, I should be right." Liu Lin suddenly shouted that Ximen Qing told him Li Wu's name, but he had been shouting "Driving". Liu Lin believed that the sudden change of name would make Li Wu feel extraordinary. This is like a seed buried in Li Wu's heart, telling him the particularity of the next conversation.
"You know it's normal for me to call Li Wu. After all, I have been in Yanggu for so long, not to mention that Ximen Qing should also turn to you. What? Afraid of death? Is there anything you want to tell me?" Li Wu waved his hand, and the bowstring on the roof loosened.
It seems that I grabbed the time for the time being, so I bet with a ring. Liu Lin took a deep breath. He knew that he had no other choice, and this feeling of life-threatening brought him an uncontrollable excitement.
"If you kill me, you will never get the ring." Liu Lin stood with his hands and exerted his fearless attitude to the extreme.
Li Wu's face finally changed, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched gently. Although he was immediately restrained, all this was still seen by Liu Lin.
I didn't expect it to be right! The token is really a ring, but what kind of ring is that? I believe that most of Li Wu's men present will not know that they are looking for a ring. According to Ximenqing, what the specific thing is should be a very secret thing. I don't want to be too specific, just say something unimportant on the periphery.
"I need to ask your name now." Li Wu's attitude calmed down and then said, "I can't believe that Wu Song told you this secret? You're right, that's a ring. If you tell me this at this time, you should want to cooperate with me. Tell me, what chips do you have and what do you want to exchange? Li Wu's attitude towards negotiations is very clear.
Liu Lin is overjoyed. This gambling speculation has won him great initiative and time. Of course, Li Wu can't cooperate with himself. No matter what, after getting the ring, he will kill him. However, his current attitude tends to ease, which can at least explain the fact that Li Wu is just a pawn who works for others, and he should be ordered to get the ring. Once the ring fails, even if he really hangs Wu Song, he may be severely punished by his organization.
It is easy to attack and defend. Li Wu thought that he had taken down or killed Wu Song, so he was immersed in this illusory sense of security, which made him seek stability in everything. At least before dawn, he would only use a relatively conservative way to seize the ring. And this false sense of security provides favorable conditions for my mediation.
"My name is Liu Lin. My chips? It couldn't be simpler. I'm afraid that few people present know that you are looking for a ring. Since I know it, it means that I have at least seen this ring and even know where it is. Liu Lin didn't say anything. The ring looked strange, and the materials were also diverse. He rashly said that it would only be exposed by Li Wu.
"Then what do you want to exchange?" Li Wu said flatly.
"What do I want to exchange? You asked a good question. We should make the exchange conditions as complicated as possible and leave more time to bargain. After all, maybe the next moment, Wu Song will return with hope. First of all, the most basic requirement is the safety of all people. Especially these darts masters, although they appeared in the martial arts house today, they only paid for them and hired them. The bodyguard's job is nothing more than collecting money and selling their lives. If they die here today, it's really hard to say. Li Wuye, you should also know that Yanggu is such a darts bureau. If they all disappear overnight, some things will be difficult to explain clearly. Liu Lin specifically emphasized this point, not to pay attention to the safety of Haisha and others, but to sell a free favor to these darts masters in case they suddenly turn against the water. The bodyguard bureau is very important in the world, and the righteous bodyguard bureau will be respected by the leaders of the strong people of all parties. Otherwise, if you take a dart and hit every copycat passing by once, the business of the bodyguard can't be done. Liu Lin's words imperceptibly put the martial arts at the moral high point, making the darts masters unable to fight back.
"I can promise you that if I want to hang you, I don't have to show up at all, just let the archers make a move. I'm just looking for the ring. But I care about the 'first' you said in your words. It seems that this is not all your conditions. But it doesn't matter. You can take your time. We have one night to negotiate. Of course, if you can't reach an agreement, you will still die before dawn. Li Wu touched his nose.
"Of course, I have such an important thing in my hand, but it's a change of life, which obviously can't satisfy me. Looking at Li Wuye's confident appearance, Wu Song is really bad this time. If that's the case, I'm also benevolent to Wu Song. If a man is alive, how can he be in a corner? Liu Lin, also a person with great ambition and revenge. Since Wu Song is finished and I protect his family, I should think more about myself. Li Wuye, to be honest, I don't want to give you this ring directly, because it can be said that this ring was from Wu Song, and the credit should be counted on me. I probably know what you do. I want to give this ring to the leader above you to find a better future for myself. When Li Wu spoke, he looked a little sad, as if he was feeling sad for Wu Song's fall.
"This is also okay. However, Liu Lin, you should also know that I can't believe your empty words. Before taking you to donate your treasure, you must make sure that you do have this ring. You have to have some evidence, otherwise I'll take it, and then you said you don't know such a thing. Although you don't regret your death, it will also cause me some trouble. When Li Wu said this, he smiled cheerfully and had the charm of the rich tourists who came and went to and from the Guihua Tower.
Liu Lin knows that his proposal cannot be easily agreed, which is the key point of bargaining. But what kind of organization are they? This is no longer within the scope of reasonable speculation. We must avoid talking about this.
"I won't show you the ring specifically. After all, you are armed with martial arts, and I'm just a weak accountant. If you forcibly take it, there is nothing I can do to resist. Instead, you will definitely kill everyone and swallow the credit alone. We are all people on the scene, and I have to guard against it. Liu Lin spread out his hands and showed helplessness.
This is a reasonable reason, but we can't argue here all the time. No one will waste time on impossible negotiations. Li Wu must feel that this is a negotiation that must be beneficial to him.
Liu Lin rushed to say before Li Wu opened his mouth, "But..."
"But what?" Li Wu raised his eyebrows.
"But we can't be stuck here. Otherwise, you said you wanted to see the ring, but I said I wouldn't show it, which is outrageous. Well, Master Li, tell me, besides seeing this ring with your own eyes, what else can you do to believe that it is in my hand? If you say this method, I will do it. Liu Lin knew that the progress of the matter was like walking on thin ice, and he acted rashly. It was better to induce Li Wu to say more about the ring so that he could make reasonable guesses based on the existing information.
Well, I wish I had seen that ring. But I have never seen anything like a ring on his head. Where can he wear this thing? No matter where you put it, I believe that Dutou's wife Haisha must know some clues. After all, the two sleep together every day. How can they hide their belongings? When I really couldn't make it up for a while, I told Li Wu to discuss it with Mrs. Wu, so that I could buy more time. Since Li Wu said that the negotiations can reach dawn, I'd better not waste any time. The time limit at dawn is too loose. From Zishi Street to here, it has arrived even if it is crawling.
Li Wu seemed to be seriously thinking about Liu Lin's words. Naturally, Liu Lin would not take the initiative to speak under such a delay, and the scene fell silent. Liu Lin even hopes that this silence can be maintained forever, preferably until dawn, but obviously, it is impossible.
"Master Li, don't let your men bother to find it. How can the ring be placed in a place where it can be found so easily? What you said in your words just now should have been hidden in the Wu family for a period of time. She can't find a delicate woman. Even if you know what you are looking for, it is not so easy to get. Zhang Shu, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Master Li, it's useless to delay the negotiation. Since Housekeeper Liu dares to negotiate with you, think about it and knows that the ring will not be in the Wu house or on him. Otherwise, as long as you use it strongly, Housekeeper Liu will be disqualified from negotiating. And Master Li, your action of touching your nose is too obvious. I think it's better to set a secret code or something in the future.
Liu Lin just vaguely felt that Li Wu's movement of touching his nose was a little unnatural, but how could he have the leisure to think about this? Looking around, Liu Lin found that there were a few archers missing on the roof. He didn't know when they left. If Zhang Shu hadn't reminded him, he might have suffered some secret losses. Yes, I'm not alone against Li Wu. Zhang Shu can be trusted. This person may have guessed more than me.
"Who are you?" Li Wu's eyes are like torches.
"I'm just an ordinary clerk in Guihua Building. Master Li was right when he saw me face to face, because I haven't seen you either." Although Zhang Shu's attitude is humble, his words have a hint of annoy.
"What qualifications do you have to participate in the negotiation between me and Liu Lin?" Li Wu is obviously more interested in Zhang Shu's reason for speaking.
"Because Liu Lin and I jointly own this ring. I also want a copy of the conditions he wants, so I have to participate in the negotiation. Zhang Shu tidied up his clothes and touched Liu Lin with his hidden elbow.
Liu Lin understood that this was Zhang Shu signaling him to follow his words.
"I can't hide the ring alone, Zhang Shu. Since you are worried that I can't negotiate the terms, you can talk about it yourself." Liu Lin quickly handed over his voice to Zhang Shu, hoping that he could gain a more active position.
"Oh? It seems that there are a lot of people who want to grab credit. Your name is Zhang Shu, right? Li Wuhua turned around and said, "Well, since two people know the whereabouts of the ring, I can safely kill one of them. Anyway, I can find the ring. Zhang Shu, I can give you better conditions. Your figure should have been practiced for two days. The organization behind me is more willing to absorb capable people like you than weak people like Liu Lin. Then tell me, what is the material of this ring?
Liu Lin didn't expect that Li Wu would ask such a specific question, and he couldn't help sweating for Zhang Shu. What material? Oh, my God, who knows what the ring is? For rings, they are usually gold and silver, and then set with some gems. However, since it is worn by men and is an organization with more martial arts, will such a ring look too weak? That's iron! However, if it is an iron ring, they don't have to come out to look for it at all. They just need to find a blacksmith and make another one. Such tokens can be forged at will, not gold and silver, not iron, so what else can it be? Copper? No, copper is too soft, and there is no reason to choose copper or bone? I heard that some people like to use bone tools. When they are alive, they also like to play with some dead bones, so that no one wants to talk to him except Wu Song, but the bones are not easy to keep. If they are made into rings, they are too easy to break.
Liu Lin admitted that he could not answer this question head-on. I can only look at Zhang Shu.
"That ring is iron. It is iron extracted from a meteorite flying from the sky. There are two rings in total. Except for the one owned by housekeeper Liu and me, the other one should now be in the hands of the thousand-faced leader of the faceless. Zhang Shu spoke in a relaxed manner, as if talking about extremely ordinary things: "Moreover, Master Li, this ring is not owned by the organization behind you. You want to get it and gain the ability to fight against faceless people. To be honest, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to fight against a mysterious sect that has stood for thousands of years with a ring. For you, the ring is far less important than what I know. Have I said enough?
meteorite ring? Two in total? How did Zhang Shu know so clearly, and what is a faceless person? It turned out that this ring was not the token of the organization behind Li Wu. It was so close. I took it for granted that this ring was the certificate of the more noble leader in their organization. But think about it. If it is a token of your own organization, just make a new one. Why spend so much effort to risk the secret being leaked to carry out this kind of robbery! Dutou is really powerful, and he can actually see Zhang Shu's extraordinary, but probably now his extraordinary has exceeded Dutou's prediction.
"I admit that you do know a lot. Even more than me. I have only heard of the name Faceless occasionally. It seems that you are really not an ordinary person. I really want to know who is the person talking to me in front of me? Li Wu put away the arrogance hanging on his face as soon as he entered the door and said seriously to Zhang Shu.
"Who am I? I'm a deserter in the station outside the fortress. Zhang Shu smiled indifferently: "But Li Wu, you should also know that since I know so much, I'm afraid you can't go back tonight. Although it's surrounded by your people." Li Wu circled his finger. However, you miscalculated. Wu Song has not left Yanggu County at all today. You already know these secret news, which is enough to pay off the credit of grabbing the ring. If you don't get well, you will definitely die. I don't think it's worth it.
"Joke, these are all good hands around me. Even if Wu Song is not out of the city, how can he defeat the wolves even if he is a fierce tiger? As soon as we rushed up, ten Wu Songs were speechless. Li Wu said and laughed.
"Actually, I couldn't be sure just now. What you are looking for is the legendary meteorite ring. But depending on your reaction, it is enough to confirm this. The meteorite ring is not only a symbol of identity, but also has great power. What's wrong with ten times more of your people? Run away quickly." Zhang Shu's eyes were extremely dark in the moonlight, and with a strange tone, Liu Lin couldn't help shivering.
