Chapter 1409: The Sword Will Make It Difficult
Looking at the girl, the rich man said to the girl: "Girl, if you are willing to follow me and be one of my concubines with peace of mind, I can pay five hundred taels of silver to the casino now and help you pay off this debt, how about it?"
The girl thought that there was a turn for the better and ignited hope, but when she suddenly heard this, her originally weak body burst out with a strong will, and scolded: "Shameless!"
Chengwei surnamed Zhao was also angry, and said to the rich man: "You are falling into a well." ”
The rich man sneered: "I'm helping her! Ask everyone, who would pay so much silver in advance for a long-term worker? This is five hundred taels of silver!"
Chengwei surnamed Zhao knows that it is indeed difficult for red beans to succeed. Five hundred taels of silver is a huge amount of money, and an ordinary family in Mukui City can have twenty or thirty taels of silver a year, and their lives can be completely good. Therefore, Hongdou wants the owner to pay five hundred taels of silver in advance, and it is estimated that no owner is willing to do this.
But this rich man is taking advantage of people's danger and acting despicably. That can't be changed!
"How is it, little girl, will you go back with me?" the rich man smiled with his hands behind his back, and smiled ill-intentionedly.
Anyone knows that this person is coveted by the beauty of red beans. Even if he helps Hongdou pay off the debt of five hundred taels of silver, it is equivalent to using this money to buy Hongdou's body and most of his life.
Red Bean Qiao showed an angry look on her face: "Shameless person!"
Replaced by a spicy woman, she has already stood up at this moment and scolded the rich man angrily. Although Hongdou has a much gentler temperament and can't swear, his attitude is the same, firmly refusing and reprimanding.
"Let's go. The city guard surnamed Zhao impatiently drove away the rich man.
Although he has no money to help Hongdou, he is also a bitter one in Mukui City, but at least in the city guard, it is still possible to drive away a rich man with bad intentions.
The rich man snorted twice and left.
The city guard captain's gaze fell on Hongdou again, and said, "Girl, if you don't leave, I can only drive you away, and it will be rude." ”
The rules of the city are the rules of the city, even if he is moved by compassion, he does not dare to disobey the orders issued by the city lord's mansion.
Before and after the trade conference, during this period of time, there were no miserable scenes like in the past on the major streets of the city, such as selling oneself to save one's father, filing a bloody complaint, etc., and even begging beggars would be driven away.
This was done to make Mukui City look more peaceful and leave a good impression on the monks outside.
"Yes, Hongdou, you leave first, go back first, and then come back to help me think of ideas. Chengwei surnamed Zhao also said.
"But Uncle Zhao, I have nowhere to go, the store has already been sold by my father, and tomorrow is the day when the casino debt must be paid off, I ...... I ...... "The tears of the red bean fell down one by one.
The city guards were a little unbearable, thinking that this girl was really miserable. At the same time, because Hongdou is very self-reliant and self-reliant, even if he wants to pay off his debts, he does not sell his body and dignity, and he is even more sympathetic to this girl.
But the rules of the city are in front of you!
"I'm sorry. The captain of the city guard motioned to his two men to take action, and he took the cards in front of the girl without destroying them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be accommodating again. Red Bean cried and pleaded.
Wang Lun witnessed the whole process, heard the miserable situation of Hongdou described by the city guard surnamed Zhao, saw the face of the rich man who fell into the well, and also saw the unbearable of the city guard, and saw the strength and self-reliance of Hongdou itself.
A weak girl shouldn't have to bear so much. The girl's plight is sympathetic.
But Wang Lun still admires the girl more. In the face of a desperate situation, this girl still did not sell her dignity.
Since you see it, let's help by the way, otherwise after tomorrow, the other party may be sold as an "asset" by the casino, and the situation of his life will be very miserable.
Wang Lun stepped forward and said with a smile, "Wait a minute." ”
His voice was not loud, but he made sure that it reached the ears of every city guard, and the city guards turned their heads sideways to observe.
"I paid off her debts. Wang Lun said.
The guards almost thought they had misheard. Even Hongdou himself thought that his ears had heard it wrong, and looked at this young man who suddenly appeared in a daze.
Wang Lun didn't say much, he slapped it directly on the storage bag, a ball of golden light flashed, and a very large ingot of gold had appeared in his hand, and Wang Lun handed it to the girl.
This gold is not a general-purpose gold and silver minted by the government, when it is obtained from the hands of the Black Centipede Gang Master, it is such a large piece, it is a large gold ingot made of gold.
Red beans didn't dare to take it. Although she was an ordinary person, she could also tell that the young man was a monk.
The people of the city guard hurriedly moved some distance, and they also saw from Wang Lun's action of taking out the gold ingots that this person was a monk. In the face of the monks, they did not dare to be presumptuous, and they originally planned to drive away the red beans, but now they also paused.
"Your name is Red Bean, take it, gratuitous, I don't need you to do anything. ”
Wang Lun said, knowing that the other party had doubts, so he said it clearly.
But the red bean still didn't pick it up, shook his head and said: "Senior monk, there are too many gold ingots here, more than five hundred taels of silver, and I haven't done anything, and I can't ask for your money, if the senior needs something to do with red beans, I can deduct five hundred taels of silver from my salary." ”
Wang Lun could guess that the other party would say this, and he was not surprised, but he still felt that Hongdou was a very good person, this kind of girl should not bury her life for the debt of her gambling father.
He handed the gold ingots to Chengwei surnamed Zhao: "Just trouble you to go to the casino with her, get things done, and let her do what she likes with the rest of the money." ”
Chengwei surnamed Zhao naturally had no opinion, and was about to take over the gold ingot, Hongdou spoke, shook his head and said: "Senior, I can't accept your gift in vain,
Please make sure I do something to pay this back. ”
Wang Lun saw that the other party was unwilling to ask for this money in vain, and planned to pay labor to repay the five hundred taels of silver in advance.
After thinking about it, Wang Lun felt that he still needed to respect the other party's wishes. But he doesn't need people around him to do things, and there are no jobs to provide to them.
Wang Lun suddenly thought of the Fang family.
"Then, if you are willing to go with me to a family that is engaged in business, they will offer you a tailor's business, and give you an advance of five hundred taels of silver, and you may be able to use your wages to pay off your debts, but you may need to leave Mukui City and live far away. ”
Wang Lun didn't know if the Fang family's network could help Hongdou find a job as a tailor in Mukui City. But if Hongdou follows the Fang family back to Laiyang City, then he can definitely find something to do in Laiyang City.
Hongdou did not hesitate, nodded and said, "Senior, I am willing to do this." ”
The young monk in front of her gave her a sense of trust, and she knew that she could trust the other party.
Subsequently, Hongdou said: "Senior, please take back this gold ingot, and after the Fang family agrees, I will pay the silver prepaid by the Fang family to the casino." ”
There's no way she's going to ask for two dollars.
"Good. Wang Lun nodded and said, "In that case, are you willing to go with me to meet the people of the Fang family now?"
Azuki nodded in agreement.
Wang Lun looked back at Chengwei surnamed Zhao and said, "Please come with me and help the red bean girl check it." ”
Chengwei surnamed Zhao immediately looked at his captain. He wanted to accompany Azuki over to make sure things were done.
"Go ahead, count your leave today, and come back one day later. "The captain is reasonable.
"Yes, Captain. "The city guard surnamed Zhao took off his armor, and inside it was ordinary clothes, so that people couldn't see his identity as a city guard, after all, he had to do private things, and he couldn't wear the city guard's armor clothes.
Wang Lun walked in front, followed by the red bean girl and the city guard surnamed Zhao. The Suzaku Street where it is located is not far from the Fubao Inn, and it is only ten minutes away on foot, and Wang Lun did not take any carriage.
On the way, Wang Lun didn't ask Hongdou what happened in the past, and from the other party's actions before, he knew what the other party's character was. In short, he is willing to help.
The three of them were about to walk out of Suzaku Street, and when they entered Fushou Street, there was a commotion in the direction of Fushou Street.
Wang Lun looked up and could easily see that an extremely gorgeous carriage was "floating" over!
The carriage was pulled by four fierce beasts, but it was indeed not running on the ground, although the carriage had four wheels, but the whole was suspended in the air, and the carriage was pulled by four fierce beasts, flying dozens of centimeters above the ground.
"It's a big show. Wang Lun sighed.
Four fierce beasts, famous, are flesh-winged dragons!
Unlike a true pterosaur, the wings of the pterodactyl degenerated, almost becoming two flesh wings, not covered by dragon scales, and very short, so the pterodactyl was not suitable as a flying mount, but it was suitable for pomp.
Large, majestic, and capable of short-distance flights at low altitudes, the fleshy pterosaur was one of the favorites of monks who liked to travel on a high-profile basis.
The reason why it is famous is also because the number of flesh wing dragons is scarce, and the Royal Beast Sect is the only sect that can breed and sell meat wing dragons, and it is said that the number of sales in a year is only a hundred.
For example, the four fleshy pterosaurs that are flying low from Fushou Street are all wearing golden soft armor, and the gorgeous carriage is also golden, so that the combination is like an imperial trip.
What's more, there are indeed guards riding dragon horses in front of and behind this carriage, and the guards are wearing armor, and the guards at the front are holding a bright yellow flag.
Everything looks like an emperor traveling under the escort of a guard of honor.
The banner has four big characters written on it: "Forbidden Sword General".
"It's the Forbidden General who is here. "The Chengwei surnamed Zhao is closer to the side of the street, so as to make way out, for fear of disturbing the appearance of the carriage traveling.
Wang Lun had only bought a batch of jade slips and learned a lot of information related to the spiritual cultivation world, but he had heard of the Forbidden Sword General, but he still asked Chengwei surnamed Zhao: "What is the origin of this person?"
Chengwei surnamed Zhao said quickly in a low voice: "This is Yuanying Qiang, a registered disciple of the Flying Bat Sword King of Wanjianmen, he has not joined Wanjianmen, he belongs to loose cultivation, but he has a lot to do with Wanjianmen, and the reason why Xiaoyi has heard of this is because this person acts extremely flamboyantly, and there are many rumors about him in the spirit world." ”
After a pause, he continued, "Senior, let's retreat into the shop next to us, so as not to come into contact with his carriage." ”
He didn't dare to say it too bluntly, what he wanted to express was that he would rather stay away than have any contact with the Forbidden Sword General. The other party loves to highlight, the personality is very eccentric, it can be said to be moody, there have been rumors, it is said that the Forbidden Sword will travel in a carriage, an ordinary man on the street is curious, looking up at the excitement, the Forbidden Sword will just see that the man looked up when there is eye feces in his eyes, he thinks that the man is disrespectful to him, angry, a palm blasted out, and the man was blasted into minced meat in the air.
Therefore, when it was his turn to stagger with the carriage of the Forbidden Sword General, he would rather hide far away. Even talking to Wang Lun just now was extremely careful.
"I can't hide anymore," Wang Lun said, "and the carriage is coming this way." ”
When Chengwei surnamed Zhao saw it, his heart suddenly twitched. Four pterodactyls landed with a luxurious carriage, and the pterodactyl used its unique wings as feet to glide on the ground, and the four wheels of the carriage were turning on the ground, slowly driving over, and were slowing down.
"What should I do, senior, didn't he hear what I just said?" The Chengwei surnamed Zhao thought that he had whispered about the Forbidden Sword General before, which caused the latter's dissatisfaction.
Thinking that there was once a man who was killed by the Forbidden Sword just because his face was not clean when he watched,
His body trembled.
"It's not for you, it's for me, you and Hongdou step aside, don't talk, I'll deal with it." Wang Lun said calmly, not wanting the two behind him to be nervous.
The carriage was indeed rushing, and Wang Lun didn't know what the reason was.
This Forbidden Sword General once apprenticed to the Flying Bat Sword King, who is now a mid-stage powerhouse of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, sitting at the space-time node of Time and Space City. The Forbidden Sword will become "General" every time it reaches the Divine Transformation Realm, and if it reaches the Transformation Divine Realm, the title will definitely become the Forbidden Sword King.
The Forbidden City does not refer to the Forbidden City, but a mountain, the lair of the Forbidden Sword General.
This person is a Yuanying monk who has been famous for a long time, his temperament is moody, unpredictable, and he has the background of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, so he has always acted in a high-profile manner and nothing happened.
What Wang Lun didn't understand was why the carriage, which was supposed to fly directly from the middle of the street, stopped slowly towards him?
Naturally, he didn't know this person, and it was impossible for him to have an entanglement with this person before.
The carriage stopped dozens of meters in front, and there was movement in the carriage, which was equivalent to the size of three rooms, a white jade hand stretched out, lifting the curtain, and an old man inside was wearing a bright yellow robe with a hooked nose, and there was a young woman in revealing clothes next to him.
"This little fellow Daoist, I would have seen that you were very born, is it a monk from a sect that has been newly promoted to the Yuan Infant Realm?"
The old man asked, and sure enough, his attitude was arrogant.
"Loose cultivation, Wang Lun. ”
Wang Lun responded, and the other party could see that he was a Yuanying monk, but he didn't know what he was going to do when he came here on purpose. Could it be that the strange Yuanying Monk has been discovered, and the Forbidden Sword intends to win over or suppress it?
Behind him, Chengwei surnamed Zhao was stunned, thinking that Wang Lun was a foundation building realm monk, but he definitely didn't dare to think that Wang Lun was a Yuanying realm monk, and his whole person began to be messy.
"Scattered cultivation?" The arrogant gaze of the Forbidden Sword General stayed on Wang Lun for a few seconds, and said with a smile, "It is very rare that casual cultivation can reach the Yuan Infant Realm, and this general is also a casual cultivator, since we have met, it is better to learn from each other, so that this general can teach the new Yuan Infant Loose Cultivation spell, Wang Lun, what do you think?"
Wang Lun was still unsure of what the intention of the Forbidden Sword General who suddenly appeared was.
The other party's cultivation is higher than him, most of them are mid-Yuan Infant Realm monks, and they have been famous for a long time, could it be that they really want to suppress him?
Unwilling to act rashly, Wang Lun said: "Wang has no intention of this, and please understand the sword general." ”
"It's just a simple exchange, don't Daoists even refuse to give this face to the general?" The Forbidden Sword General snorted coldly, and said that he would turn his face.
But Wang Lun was not afraid of the other party's fault, and asked directly: "The Forbidden Sword will be eyeing me, what is the specific reason?"
"Sparring," the Forbidden Sword General asked rhetorically, "what else could it be?"
"Then I don't have time to talk. Wang Lun shot back.
"That's fine. Unexpectedly, the Forbidden Sword General seemed to agree.
Chengwei surnamed Zhao and Hongdou both breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that there is no need to fight, although they only know Wang Lun, they don't want the latter to have an accident.
But Wang Lun knew that if the other party was so good at talking, he would be a ghost.
However, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and he is not afraid of this person.
"It's okay if Daoyou doesn't talk to Ben Jiang, then complete a deal with Ben Jiang," the Forbidden Sword General laughed, patted the back of the gorgeous women on both sides, the two women got out of the carriage, and the Forbidden Sword General continued, "Ben will have two very cherished concubines, they serve you for one night, as a deal, the girl behind Daoyou serves me for one night, how about it?"
As soon as these words came out, the red bean's face was colorless. In the face of the rich man's fall into the well before, she could still scold out loud, but now she is facing the Yuanying monk, knowing that she is an ant, although she is sad and angry, she doesn't even have the courage to scold.
"Are you going to deliberately make things difficult for me?" Wang Lun asked coldly, and now that he is facing the other party, there is no need to maintain a good attitude.
The other party made it clear that he was deliberately making things difficult, what friendly exchanges, and what fancied red beans were just a disguise. After walking in the cultivation world for so long, this bit of eyesight strength is still there.
"You don't want to talk to each other, and you don't want to exchange concubines, do you don't want to give face to this general so much?" The Forbidden Sword General snorted coldly, and looked at Hongdou with a murderous gaze.
Red Beans suddenly felt like falling into an ice cellar, his head was blank, and it was as if something terrible from the outside world was about to invade his head and destroy everything in his brain.
Burst. There was a crisp muffled sound.
Wang Lun punched in the direction of the Forbidden Sword General's gaze, the air was exploded, and a sound was made, and the distorted air interrupted the Forbidden Sword General's murderous gaze, and Hongdou came back to his senses, but he was already in a cold sweat.
"Fellow Daoist, are you still unwilling to discuss with this general?" said the Forbidden Sword General with a smile, smiling confidently, not afraid that Wang Lun would disagree.
Wang Lun thought about it for a moment or two. If you don't agree, sooner or later, something will happen to Hongdou in Mukui City.
Secondly, there was no reason for him to offend and kill a mid-Yuan Infant monk. If you can avoid it, try to avoid it.
"I can promise to fight with you," Wang Lun agreed, but the conversation changed, "But the Forbidden Sword will have to agree, whether you win or lose, you can't embarrass the two of them." ”
"No problem. The Forbidden Sword General readily agreed.
This further confirmed his judgment, and the other party was not interested in seeing it at all, Wang Lun said in his heart.
"In the competition, if I am lucky enough to keep not losing, the Forbidden Sword will tell you the real reason why you will come directly to me. Wang Lun continued.
Even if the two sides met by chance, and the Forbidden Sword General inadvertently discovered that he was a Yuanying Monk, then the Forbidden Sword General had no reason to make things difficult for him for no reason.
Wang Lun is sure that there must be a reason for this.
