Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 19 Su Li's Win-Win-Win

Take the stolen goods away?
Su Li smiled and said, "No, we won't take it away. On the contrary, we will return it to its original owner. Knight Frederick, are you interested in going to the tavern with me?"

Why don’t you take so much vibranium with you?

If it were a few minutes ago, Frederick would have been furious and suspected that Su Li's head was kicked by a donkey.

But after the severe shock he experienced, he no longer doubted Su Li's decision.

At this moment, Frederick had a strong feeling that his wisdom was like that of a stupid and ignorant farmer compared to Su Li's sagacity and foresight.

Young Master Su Li always has a clear vision and is very far-sighted. The wisest choice is to resolutely follow all of Young Master Su Li's decisions.

Frederick immediately bowed and said, "Your will, Master Su Li. I will escort you to the tavern in Kum Village."

Kum Village is a small village under the jurisdiction of Bauhinia Town. There are about a hundred households and about 500 people in the village. It is the fief of the Kingdom Knight Richard Eyre.

The so-called tavern here is just a room covered with hay and filled with barrels.

It was daytime now, and the village serfs and farmers were being driven by the knights with whips to work in the manors and fields. The tavern also had a closing sign hanging on it.

Two horses came galloping over and stopped in front of the tavern, causing a figure in the tavern to lean on the window and watch nervously for a while.

Then someone, holding a dagger in reverse, hid behind the door and asked, "Who are you? What is your purpose in coming here?"

Frederick was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. After jumping off the horse, he put his hands on the rough half-wooden door of the tavern and pushed hard. The person behind the door was directly blown away.

This caused the people inside to become nervous, and immediately four or five strong men armed with hammers, axes and crossbows rushed over from all directions.

Frederick glanced at everyone with disdain. The powerful aura of the elite knights frightened them so much that they dared not move at all. "Let's go find Knight Felix!"

After saying that, he pushed open the door, turned around and said to Su Li respectfully: "Master Su Li, please come in. Their behavior is very abnormal, we should probably be more careful."

Su Li ignored the cold blades of everyone on the other side and calmly sat down at a wine table. Across the table was a young man with a sinister face. Su Li looked at him calmly and said, "Knight Frederick, don't be nervous. I believe no one would dream of attacking the Bauhinia family within the sphere of influence of Bauhinia Castle and escape unscathed. Don't you agree, Knight Felix?"

The young man opposite slowly raised his head, stared at Su Li with bloodshot eyes, and asked, "Master Su Li, what brings you here?"

He was very handsome, but his mental state was very bad, causing his face to be withered and pale. Now he looked more like the legendary vampire than those thieves in the tomb.

Su Li said calmly, "I'm here to collect the 30 gold coin bounty offered by the Blackrock Chamber of Commerce. I found the pottery that was stolen by the Thieves Guild."

Knight Felix perked up immediately, a blush quickly appearing on his pale face, making him look even sicker. "Where is it? Take me back and I will immediately redeem our bounty." "No hurry." Su Li sat motionless on the chair. He calmly tapped the table with his index and middle fingers, like playing a cheerful symphony. "But there are some strange things in there. Does Knight Felix know what they are?"

Felix immediately clenched his hands tightly. He was like a desperado at this moment, his body tense, staring at Su Li fiercely: "What are you talking about? Our goods are all clean, there can't be anything strange."

"Oh? In that case, if the items are different, then this batch of stolen goods isn't yours. I'll hand them over to the city defense team. I'm sure they'll be very interested in all of this. I think the Blackrock Chamber of Commerce's 30 gold coin reward isn't for smuggling anything illegal, like vibranium."

When Knight Felix heard the word vibranium, his anger finally disappeared. He was certain that Su Li really had control of the goods.

The other men in the room also clenched their weapons, sweat dripping down their foreheads and backs. If this news leaked out, their Blackrock Chamber of Commerce would be hunted by the entire Bauhinia Earldom. This was why they had set the bounty transaction location in such a remote village tavern. Secrecy was paramount!
Knight Felix's expression also kept changing. Sometimes he gritted his teeth and secretly gripped the hilt of his sword. Sometimes his face turned pale and looked desperate.

The other party had an elite knight guarding him. He was a formal knight, and with a few ordinary strong men, it was impossible for him to threaten Su Li.

He thought for a long time before being forced to bow his head. "Master Su Li, you are right. After your reminder, I remembered that our pottery jars did contain some goods. I think we can find a solution that satisfies both parties."

Su Li then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, leaned back, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the other person calmly.

When you discover the other party's problem but can't think of what to blackmail them for, these steps are the perfect solution.

1. Cross your arms in front of your chest.

2. Tactically lean back and put on a poker face.

3. Question: How do you plan to deal with this matter?

4. Frown slightly and listen to the other person’s answer.

Felix was indeed overwhelmed by Su Li's aura. He said nervously, "If you can return the pottery jar to us cleanly, without any strange objects, and let us get rid of the trouble with the city guards, we will not only pay you 30 gold coins as a reward, but also subsidize your expansion of the border prince's territory in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. You are about to raise an army and set off, and I believe that funds and military supplies are what you are in urgent need of."

"We will provide you with 200 gold coins, 5 sets of exquisite fine steel full body heavy armor, 10 sets of half body chain mail, and 30 sets of leather armor."

"Deal!" Su Li stood up with a smile and extended his right hand to Felix: "This is a win-win situation for all three parties, isn't it?"

What is a win-win-win?

That of course means Su Li won three times!

He not only took away the vibranium, gold coins and other spoils from the ancient tomb, but also obtained the bounty of Knight Felix. Finally, he obtained 200 gold coins and 5 sets of heavy steel armor from the Blackrock Chamber of Commerce!
Typically, a Kingdom Knight family only possessed one set of this heavy, fine steel armor! Upon the death of the old Kingdom Knight, it was passed down to the eldest son. The more successful sons could wear chain mail while roaming the lands, while the less successful were left with only a set of leather armor inlaid with a few iron plates, little more than a thief. Of course, this type of Kingdom Knight family was defined as a family with only one village, or even half a village, as their fiefdom.

Knight Frederick witnessed all of this with his own eyes. Master Su Li achieved a win-win-win situation just by sitting on a chair, which made him admire him very much!
Fortunately, I did not angrily question Young Master Su Li this time, otherwise I would have missed out on the 230 gold coins and a large amount of armor!
