Chapter 11 (1/2)
Chapter 11 - Gu Hai's Plan
”Black-hearted devils, they are all a bunch of black-hearted devils. Do they want to take so much money to their afterlife, eh?”
”Exactly, these big trading guilds are too inhumane. They only know how to bully insignificant caravans like us. Each and everyone is bidding lower and lower. Did they all discuss with each other?”
”Humph, they have power and money. Naturally, they wouldn't place us in their eyes. If they want to slaughter us, do we have any other way out!”
Not sure when but during all the unceasing clamoring in the manor had woken up Gu Hai. When Gu Hai opened his door, he discovered that it was already night-time, and it was time for dinner!
In the manner, tens of tables had been placing, and all these tables were filled with all kinds of dishes. Each table had several people sitting together. Everyone was eating and drinking, and at the same time venting the grievances in their hearts. It was quite obvious that today's actions didn't go smoothly…..
There was a slightly small wooden table in front of all the tables. However, this wooden table was finer than the other tables. On this table, there were five people sitting. These five people were the five captains of Autumn Leaf Caravan.
The five sat quietly at the table. Even though the table in front of them was full of delicacies, none of the five had any intention of moving their chopsticks. Moreover, the brows of these five people were slightly wrinkled. It seemed that they were distressed about some issue!
Amongst the five, an old person, upon noticing Gu Hai's arrival, stood up hastily and said: ”Mister Gu got up at last. Earlier, we saw that Mister Gu was asleep and we feared disturbing Mister Gu's rest, therefore, we didn't awaken Mister Gu and had dinner ourselves. We ask Mister Gu to do forgive us!”
”Elder Tang is too polite. It is this Gu who should be sorry for disturbing everybody. It should be this Gu who should be apologizing!” Gu Hai said with a smile.
After spending several days together, Gu Hai already knew the names of these five captains, the two elderlies were surnamed Tang, and surnamed Song. Gu Hai had just now been addressing these Tang and Song as Elders!
Besides Elder Tang, the other four, upon noticing the arrival of Gu Hai, also stood up one after another.
”Mister Gu, how can you say this. Mister has done us such a great favor. How can you be disturbing anyone?” The elder surnamed Song said, ”Mister Gu, please take a seat, we still haven't started the dinner. Do not worry Mister Gu, if Mister Gu is not satisfied with the food, we will immediately ask the kitchen to make it all afres.h.!.+”
”If all of you are still going to be so formal, this Gu shall leave at once!” Gu Hai said with a smile as he cracked a joke.
”He he, it seems we have made full of ourselves in front of Mister Gu.” The five people all laughed out loud, ”Mister Gu, please take a seat!”
Gu Hai calmly went towards the vacant seat and sat. After seeing Gu Hai sit down, the five also sat down one by one.
Gu Hai, after sitting down, did not move his chopsticks immediately, rather he looked at the five, and asked: ”I see that everyone's complexion isn't looking too good. I believe that everyone is troubled by something!”
”That's very true!” Gu Hai had barely finished speaking, when a middle-aged strong man from amongst them spoke in a loud voice. He was Autumn Leaf Town's Chief Hunter, Yang Hu. His cultivation was also extraordinary, but his temperament was somewhat irritable, ”These d.a.m.ned trading guilds. They are looking down on us who have come from small places and are quoting lower than low prices!”
Gu Hai's face revealed a trace of understanding. The Autumn Leaf Caravan didn't have means to dispose of the corpse of Seven-Colored Snake King. Naturally, these big trading guilds didn't have to worry about the Autumn Leaf Caravan not selling. The initiative was in their hands, if the Autumn Leaf Caravan wanted to sell at a high price, they would not be willing. Not to mention the fact that the price of this snake corpse was very high. Although they were big trading guilds, money in circulation with them didn't allow them to pay a high price!
