Chapter 14 Loaded with a big one
"The master is bright and upright, which is admirable!" Li Xuanxin praised.
"I'll prescribe a prescription to fix the foundation of Peiyuan first, and if you go back and boil medicine for this girl every day, it will be of some use. When you find the medicinal materials, come to me at any time, and I will stay in Muping for a while. Fu Lingzi had already taken out a piece of paper as he spoke, and he was writing something on it.
After a while, Li Xuanxin took the prescription, and saw that the dense small letters on the paper were neatly arranged. It reminded him of a doctor in a certain world, and the prescription was more difficult to read than a spirit rune, which was really impressive.
With the prescription in hand, Li Xuanxin finally found all the medicinal materials after running all over the small half of Muping City, returned to the inn, boiled the medicine, and watched Shen Wan take it, Li Xuanxin walked out of the inn again alone.
Looking at the bustling scene around him, Li Xuanxin suddenly felt that something seemed to be fate, just two days ago he overheard the news of the Jiazi Beast, originally he didn't have too many ideas, his own affairs were already troublesome enough, and he really didn't want to make trouble.
And today, Li Xuanxin once again felt that the giant wheel of fate was slowly crushing, and it did not stop at all because of anyone's stop.
……
After some inquiry, Li Xuanxin came to the largest trading house in Muping City, Muping Commercial Bank! Speaking of big, it is only relatively speaking, after seeing the kind of commercial houses in Yizhou that trade in several countries, Muping Commercial Bank seems very ordinary to Li Xuanxin.
A five-story building rises from the ground, and a pair of stone lions are placed in front of the door, everything is very much in line with the style of a trading house. If you want to say that there are different places, there are also them, this trading house is too close to the city guard mansion and the Bingcao Yamen.
Since ancient times, collusion between officials and businessmen has been a taboo, even if the private relationship is good, it must be far away on the surface, at least to make a clean appearance, to show those big people. And this Muping Commercial Bank doesn't seem to care about this, behind the five-story building in front of him, there is a large courtyard, what is in the courtyard, Li Xuanxin can't see clearly, but what can be seen is that this courtyard is already close to the city guard mansion, and it is only a few steps away from the mansion.
At this moment, Li Xuanxin stood in front of the firm, staring at the four-character plaque of Muping Firm, speechless for a long time. It wasn't until the six guards standing side by side in front of the business house were about to get impatient and were about to drive him away that Li Xuanxin Shi Shiran stepped in.
This is the second place that makes him wonder, even in a commercial capital like Yizhou, there are rarely six guards in front of the major commercial houses, and those six people make Li Xuanxin feel familiar, the kind of familiarity that has been baptized by war.
Li Xuanxin walked into the hall on the first floor with the blank eyes of six people expressionlessly, and the eyes were no different from other trading houses, there were sparse shelves along the wall, and the shelves were divided into categories, and there was a uniformly dressed person standing in the middle of each two shelves, watching Li Xuanxin pass by, and explaining something to him with a smile. Li Xuanxin patiently read all the shelves, trying to write down the use and price of each goods, after a long time, Li Xuanxin still did not have the slightest intention of buying goods. Everyone who was responsible for explaining to him had a little strange eyes, but they had excellent business literacy, so that they still explained each product one by one with a smile.
After reading all the first floor, Li Xuanxin was still a little unsatisfied, so he naturally asked: "Can I go to the second floor?"
The faces of everyone who had explained the goods to him before twitched a little, and one by one they returned to their previous positions, but no one answered him.
Li Xuanxin looked at the people around him, and then suddenly realized. Obviously, if you don't speak, you don't refuse, it's okay!
Li Xuanxin paced to the second floor, and the 'knock' sound from the wooden staircase made everyone on the first floor sound a little unnatural.
As soon as he went up to the second floor, before Li Xuanxin could find someone to ask, an old man with silver hair stepped forward with a smile and arched his hand at Li Xuanxin: "What do you want to buy, it's not that the little old man is boasting, the things up and down the Muping firm, the little old man has some understanding, if the customer needs something, just come, it must be done for the guest immediately." ”
The old man also kept a bright smile on his face when he spoke, and stretched out his hand, "Your guests can come and have a cup of tea first." ”
Li Xuanxin also returned the salute with a smile, and then unceremoniously followed, picked up the tea on the table placed on the window on the second floor, drank it all in one gulp, and then said to the silver-haired old man in front of him with a smile: "Good tea, thank you old man, I want to walk on the second floor again, why don't you arrange a guide for you?"
The smile on the silver-haired old man's face instantly froze, and his eyes stared at Li Xuanxin for a while with a somewhat gloomy gaze, "Is this really a fledgling or is it pretending to be stupid and making fun of me?"
After taking a deep look at Li Xuanxin again, the silver-haired old man said in a flat voice: "Then I will explain the things on this second layer to the distinguished guests!"
After speaking, the bento walked out first, and Li Xuanxin followed closely. Compared with the first layer, the goods on the second floor are obviously much less, but they seem to be more exquisite.
Li Xuanxin listened with relish, and nodded slightly from time to time, as if he didn't see the darkening face of the old man beside him and the gradually cold tone.
After the last shelf was also passed, the silver-haired old man looked gloomy, and said in a cold voice: "I don't know if your guests have something to look at, and the old man can ask someone to wrap it for your guests." ”
Li Xuanxin played with the glass cup on the last shelf, still with a shallow smile on his face: "Don't worry, aren't there still a few floors upstairs? ”
The silver-haired old man's eyelids jumped suddenly, and his anger instantly surged into his heart, and he was almost uncontrollably thrown out of the person in front of him, but fortunately, after all, he was a person who had experienced the wind and waves, and he suppressed his emotions after a while.
"If there is something rare, my Muping Commercial Bank is naturally also doing business, but if I deliberately laugh at my Muping Commercial Bank, my Muping Commercial Bank will never be afraid of things. Ladies and gentlemen, please don't make a mistake. ”
When the words fell, the silver-haired old man's hair was flying, and there was no wind automatically, and there was a hot smell in the air, and Li Xuanxin could feel that there seemed to be invisible moisture being evaporated. A wave of heat came to his face, and Li Xuanxin vaguely heard the 'crackling' sound of burning wood.
The silver-haired old man's eyes were cold and calm, and he said without a trace of emotion: "If the honorable guest can't come up with something valuable, don't blame me...... Belch. ”
The old man was dumbfounded, and the expression on his face instantly changed from cold to surprised, and then from surprise to horror.
I saw that Li Xuanxin was looking at him with a smile at this moment, his left hand was still playing with the glass cup, and his right hand was holding a handbow that had been wound in front of him, the crossbow was only slightly larger than the palm, but when the old man saw the magnificent pattern on the edge of the crossbow, and the cluster of arrows flashing with cold light at the top of the arrow, his heart instantly sank to the bottom.
Whether the other party is a person from the Han court or a person who dares to kill a Han soldier, it is a character who is difficult to provoke. And the weakest Divine Machine Crossbow is claimed to be able to easily kill cultivators in the 'Refining Truth' realm, and they are only cultivating Truth. Moreover, it is so close.
Luckily, it's not a rune arrow. The old man's thoughts were exactly the same as when Li Xuanxin first saw this divine crossbow on the mountain road.
Many thoughts flashed in the silver-haired old man's heart for a moment, and he raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat that had begun to drip down on his forehead at some point, the terrifying heat around him had already dissipated, and the cold sweat soaked his clothes and stuck to his body.
He looked at Li Xuanxin, and smiled helplessly, his voice was a little dry, "The honorable guest has something to say, if there is a difficulty that can be used by the Muping firm, please feel free to speak, the old man is Xue Jinnan, the owner of the Muping firm." ”
Li Xuanxin didn't speak, but put down the glass cup in his hand, his fingers tapped lightly on the shelf, making a 'dong dong' sound, he kept a smiling expression, and the divine crossbow in his right hand was still facing the silver-haired old man Xue Jinnan steadily.
Xue Jinnan was very scared, he didn't hide his fear, not to mention the cultivation realm of the person in front of him for the time being, but the divine crossbow that was only a foot apart between the two was enough to make him daunted.
He is over half a hundred years old, and in terms of his cultivation, he has already gone through most of his life at this age, not to mention the wealth and fame, and he has seen through most of it. So he reluctantly made a casual gesture to Li Xuanxin, and then slowly walked to the window on the second floor, keeping a distance of no more than ten steps from Li Xuanxin. This distance is exactly not more than the maximum effective killing distance of the Divine Machine Crossbow.
"It would be best if you could save yourself from disaster!" he picked up a cup of tea, trying to relieve the pressure on himself from the pitch-black crossbow arrows.
After a long time, Li Xuanxin slowly paced to him and sat down, picked up the teapot and filled it for Xue Jinnan, and then put down the teapot. Pushing the divine crossbow in his hand in front of Xue Jinnan, he chuckled and said, "What's the matter, doesn't Shopkeeper Xue accept my treasure?"
Xue Jinnan was stunned suddenly, a little unsure of what the young man in front of him meant. Glancing at Li Xuanxin, he hesitantly stretched out his hand to pick up the divine crossbow in front of him, and gently rubbed it, and after a while, his eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance, and he stroked the machine with a non-moving expression.
He glanced at Li Xuanxin again, and it was this glance that made his clothes, which were already about to be dried by the wind, instantly soaked in cold sweat again.
Li Xuanxin was still looking at him for a long time at the moment, smiling, but on the coffee table in front of the two, the tea in the teapot unexpectedly flowed out of the spout of the teapot, drawing a crystal line of water in the air, and smoothly fell into the teacup that had bottomed out in front of Li Xuanxin.
The flowing water is curling, and the entire second floor seems to be filled with a fragrant tea fragrance at this moment.
Li Xuanxin looked at the old man in front of him with a smile and said, "Shopkeeper Xue, the tea is going to be cold, drink it quickly." ”
