Pawnshop No. 8: Lord of Darkness

Xiangyang City, as the gateway of the Southern Song Dynasty, has a very important position.

Xiangyang was destroyed, and the Southern Song Dynasty was not far from destruction.

And if Xiangyang is not destroyed, the Southern Song Dynasty will always have a chance to breathe.

So when faced with Guo Jing's second inquiry, Lin Yan directly gave a negative answer.

These two questions are actually of the same nature.

Lin Yan's answer finally made Guo Jing frown.

When he first came to this place, he actually had high expectations for No. 8 Pawn Shop.

With his broad vision, he naturally knows that the world is so big that anything can happen and everything can exist.

Whether it was the young boss in front of him or the beautiful maid next to him, Guo Jing felt that the other person was no ordinary person.

Even, it is still unclear whether he is an immortal.

But in such a place that gives people illusions, there is no guarantee that a city will be immortal...

This made Guo Jing feel disappointed.

Lin Yan didn't speak anymore.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became silent.

After a long time, Guo Jing raised his head and said slowly:"Boss Lin, can you guarantee that Xiangyang City will not be destroyed in ten years?"

Lin Yan was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that the other party still didn't give up, hoping to keep Xiangyang City.

Even if it's ten years.

Ten years can be said to be long or short.

In ten years' time, it is still unknown whether there will be new changes within the court.

But without outside intervention, according to Lin Yan's estimation, the current Xiangyang City would not be able to survive for more than a year. there are many reasons.

First of all, Xiangyang city defense commanders Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan were mediocre and incompetent. Guo Jing was responsible for all the city defense affairs.

Although Guo Jing is a powerful martial artist, he has many martial arts masters under his command.

But facing the Mongolian army with many soldiers and generals, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a drop in the bucket.

Secondly, although Xiangyang City was successfully defended for several years with the help of Guo Jing, Yang Guo and others.

But now that Kublai Khan is in power, with his iron-blooded skills and military strategies, Xiangyang City will never be able to hold on once the soldiers press the border.

Therefore, Xiangyang City will be destroyed within one year at most.

Maybe it won't take a year at all.

In response to Guo Jing's inquiry, these thoughts flashed through Lin Yan's mind. After weighing the pros and cons, he nodded and said:"Ten years, yes, but the price is……"

This is an ongoing transaction, not a one-time sale.

To ensure that Xiangyang City remains immortal for ten years, Lin Yan needs to spend a lot of time and pay attention to the war situation in that world.

Although the difficulty level is not high, it is very tiring.

Therefore, if Guo Jing could not provide a pawn of sufficient value, Lin Yan would not easily agree to such a thing.

However, in the face of Lin Yan's reminder, Guo Jing smiled slightly and said,"I am willing to use my own life to protect Xiangyang City, but I am too determined to defend Xiangyang City."

"Before the next Mongol army arrives, it will be the last time in Xiangyang"

"so……"

Having said this, Guo Jing said calmly:"Just pawn my soul?"

Click!

Just as Guo Jing finished speaking, the cup in Lin Yan's hand shattered.

It was obvious that Lin Yan could not remain calm at this moment.

It wasn't because of Guo Jing's spirit of sacrificing himself for the country, but because of the value of the pawn given by the other party.

For Pawn Shop No. 8, the soul can speed up its self-repair.

Especially a pure soul is more precious.

And people like Guo Jing, who are kind and righteous, are also the key trading targets of No. 8 Pawn Shop.

However, since Lin Yan took charge of No. 8 Pawn Shop, few people would choose to pawn their souls.

No matter how ignorant you are, you cannot deny the importance of the soul.

That's a person's final bottom line.

After taking a deep look at Guo Jing, Lin Yan confirmed:"You mean, you want to pawn your soul in exchange for ten years of peace in Xiangyang City?"

Guo Jing was very calm and nodded:"Yes, I think this pawn object, Boss Lin shouldn't be able to refuse, right?"

Lin Yan was silent.

He's right.

I can't refuse.

But if it were Guo Jing's first two requests, Lin Yan still wouldn't agree.

Lin Yan would not easily interfere with the change of dynasty.

Unless the value of the pawn is extremely high.

Although the soul is precious, it still does not reach Lin Yan's bottom line of trading.

If a city is safe for ten years and gets a pure soul, it will be different.

This is a very good deal

"Do you really want to pawn your soul?"Lin Yan asked again.

In all the worlds, there are actually very few loyal people like Guo Jing.

It's not easy to see one who has lost his soul and will never be reincarnated. Even Lin Yan feels a little pity..

Guo Jing nodded without hesitation and said:"That's right."

"Oh well. Lin

Yan said no more and motioned to Yi Yi to draft a transaction document.

In this gap, Lin Yan crossed his hands and said,"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this, Master Guo. It is only a matter of time for a dynasty to perish sooner or later.""

"The Southern Song Dynasty cannot exist forever, and the same is true for the Yuan Dynasty. The future Yuan army will also be wiped out by new rising forces."

"This is cause and effect, and it is also a fixed number.

Hearing Lin Yan's words, Guo Jing smiled and said,"Everyone has the responsibility for the rise and fall of a country.""

"It's worth using me alone to exchange for ten years of peace in the Song Dynasty"

"Perhaps within these ten years, new leaders will emerge in our country and lead the people to prosperity."

Lin Yan shook his head slightly and sighed.

He understood Guo Jing's passion and respected it, but he couldn't agree with it in his heart.

This is what is called different views.

But it does not mean that the three views are inconsistent.

People with different views You can become friends as long as you understand each other.

But people with different views can only have one result, and that is enemies.

Lin Yan thought to himself:"Maybe Huang Rong and Guo Jing are a couple with different views."

This kind of relationship is actually very enviable.

Try to like things you don't like, and respect viewpoints that are different from your own.

Often such couples can grow old together and stay together for a lifetime.

After a while, Yiyi handed over the complete transaction document , placed in front of Guo Jing.

Yiyi was quite happy about this transaction.

A pure soul is very important to No. 8 Pawnshop

"If you decide, just sign it. Lin Yan stretched out his hand and said.

Guo Jing just glanced at it, then picked up the pen on the side and solemnly signed his name at the end of the transaction book.
