Chapter 12: The Beggar?
At dawn, there was a touch of fish belly white in the east, Xiang Yu strode towards Luyang City, and the penance of the past four days could not be said to be a kind of rebirth for him.
The city guards guarding the city check the passing crowd every day to prevent the demon clan from mixing in, and there is a treasure survey mirror on the gate of each city, although it is only an imitation, but its power is not trivial, and it makes the alien race have no chance to take advantage of it.
Xiang Yu paid a silver coin to enter the city, he could have not paid the entrance fee, because the Dayue Dynasty had a rule: Dayue courtiers, princes and nobles do not need to pay the entrance fee to the city, or you are a strong person above the acquired realm.
And Xiang Yu, as a descendant of the Xiang family of the four great families in Kyoto, and his grandfather is the Marquis of Dayue Wu, these privileges are still there, but in the penance of Zipeng Mountain in the past few days, Xiang Yu is ruined like a beggar, not to mention that the city guards can't recognize it, Xiang Yu himself is secretly speechless, he didn't expect that he could be so dirty, so he hurriedly paid the entrance fee and walked to the shop to prevent others from recognizing it.
Soon, Xiang Yu came to a magnificent attic, and the plaque was engraved with the four big characters of "Fenglong Chamber of Commerce", which was vigorous and powerful.
Xiang Yu heard Xiang Wen say that this chamber of commerce has a very big origin, and the thirty-six counties of the Dayue Dynasty have its branches, because its reputation is very good, and it has a good reputation in various places.
In fact, the Xiang family also has shops in Luyang City, but Xiang Yu is afraid of being recognized, he is selling things, and if he is recognized, it will inevitably be said that he is guarding and stealing, and he is too lazy to explain.
"Welcome!"
The two good-looking maids at the door said respectfully.
"Hmm. Xiang Yu smiled brightly and walked into the chamber of commerce with a snakeskin on his shoulder.
There are a lot of people in the hall, most of them are choosing weapons, pills or martial arts and the like, but the highest grade is only the best in the yellow level, because the treasures above the yellow level need to participate in the auction, and the one with the highest price will get it.
Several young men and women around frowned slightly when they saw Xiang Yu coming in, and their disgust was overflowing.
Xiang Yu didn't care, and walked straight to the counter, an old man who was over half a hundred years old was looking at the account book, making calculations while reading, even if Xiang Yu walked in front of him, he didn't look up.
This old man's surname is Wang, everyone calls him Wang Lao, Xiang Yu once saw that Xiang Wen was very polite to him, even if he was just an ordinary person.
"Is there something wrong?"
Elder Wang asked, and the matter in his hand still did not stop.
"I want to exchange the snake skin of this green scale python, its snake gall, fangs, and three spirit grasses for spirit stones. Xiang Yu put down the snake skin and carefully took out the pure jade grass and other things from his arms.
Wang Lao's eyelids raised, and the work in his hand finally stopped, but he just took the three pure jade grasses over and looked at them, and said lightly: "Yellow-grade high-grade pure jade grass, but the year is not high, each plant will give you a maximum of twenty lower-grade spirit stones, and the others will be counted together as five lower-grade spirit stones, plus eight hundred gold coins." If you still have the Beast Pill of the Green Scale Python, you can directly count fifteen lower-grade spirit stones. ”
"No, so be it. Xiang Yu thought for a while and agreed, originally thinking that snakeskins and the like could be exchanged for more than a dozen spirit stones, but the price of pure jade grass was already very sufficient.
On the mainland, one hundred copper coins are equal to one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins are equal to one gold coin, but one thousand gold coins are equal to a low-grade spirit stone, but few people exchange spirit stones with coins. has been by analogy, one hundred lower-grade spirit stones are equal to a medium-grade spirit stone, one hundred medium-grade spirit stones are equal to a high-grade spirit stone, and the top-grade spirit stones require a thousand high-grade spirit stones to be exchanged, which can be said to be priceless.
Taking the package containing the spirit stones, Xiang Yu turned around and left the Fenglong Chamber of Commerce, with these sixty-five lower-grade spirit stones, he could quickly break through the sixfold training body and reach the realm of practicing muscles.
Not long after Xiang Yu left from the Chamber of Commerce, he found that the water around the corner of the street was impassable, and the sound of scolding came from it.
Xiang Yu frowned, he didn't want to know what was going on inside, but if he didn't take this road, he would have to go around a long way to get to Shangshanyuan, so he could only squeeze in.
However, Xiang Yu easily walked to the middle, because the crowd avoided him, and some people even scolded: "Another stinky beggar!"
Xiang Yu was stunned when he heard this, it turned out that a big man with a meaty face in the middle of the crowd was kicking and beating a beggar.
The beggar was very dirty, and there was a peculiar smell coming out, he should have not taken a bath for a long time, his hair was scattered and his face was covered, and the black coarse cloth jacket on his body was full of holes.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but say, "Everyone is watching here, no one cares?!"
At this time, a man next to him sneered: "Why, it's all beggars, you still sympathize with him, this beggar often steals food in this area, and his body is so dirty, it's not too much to kill him." ”
Xiang Yu looked angry and wanted to step forward to stop him, but found that an aunt next to him grabbed him and said: "You yourself are not very good and want to be nosy, just now a few well-wishers stepped forward to stop them, and they were all scolded by Wang Qiang, who sold steamed buns, and even a young man was beaten, this guy relied on his cousin to be a centurion of the city guards, and he was rampant and domineering on this street, and he did a lot of bad things, you can't control it." ”
But I heard that the big man named Wang Qiang suddenly laughed loudly: "Yo, I'm still a little girl, tsk, this melon seed face looks like a beauty embryo, if I sell you to Chunmanlou, I will definitely be able to sell it for a lot of money." ”
After speaking, the lewd light in his eyes flashed.
I saw Wang Qiang pull up the beggar's hair, only to let everyone find out that she was still a girl, seventeen or eighteen years old, and the dirt on her face looked a little dark, but it was not difficult to see that delicate face, a cherry mouth under the slightly straight Qiong nose, because the bun just eaten had not been swallowed, and the bulging cheeks were very cute, but the eyes were very cold and cold, and the willow-like eyebrows were like knives, which could scratch people's hearts.
Hearing Wang Qiang's words, Xiang Yu couldn't tolerate it any longer, gently broke free of his aunt's hand, stepped forward and scolded loudly: "Bastard! Stop me!!"
Wang Qiang was stunned for being scolded, turned his head and saw Xiang Yu in front of him, and suddenly smiled evilly: "It's a stinky beggar again, just meddle in your affairs, and dare to scold me?!
After saying that, he kicked towards his chest.
Xiang Yu's face turned cold, he dodged sideways, moved to the girl's side in two steps, grabbed the hand that was pulling her hair, and twisted it hard without waiting for Wang Qiang to react.
"Ahh
Wang Qiang screamed in pain, and the moment he let go of the girl, Xiang Yu immediately pulled the girl behind him, and kicked Wang Qiang to the ground.
"Are you alright? Xiang Yu turned his head and asked.
The girl didn't answer, but stared at Xiang Yu for a long time, there was no gratitude in her eyes, only vigilance and doubt, and then shook her head gently.
"Get out of here! Get out of here! What are you doing in the middle of the road. ”
At this time, a group of people roared from a distance, and the crowd of onlookers hurriedly dispersed.
"Phew~"
"What's the matter with the man lying on the ground, hurry up and get him away. A man with an extraordinary face at the front of the line spoke.
Xiang Yu's face changed when he saw the person coming, this man was Sheng Qijun, the deputy commander of the Luyang City Guard, and there was another person next to him, who was Xiang Yu's opponent Zhang Lifei.
"Brother!?"
An officer and soldier behind Sheng Qijun suddenly shouted in surprise, and walked out quickly, looking a little similar to Wang Qiang.
"Wang Yue, is this your brother?" Sheng Qijun asked after seeing the officer named Wang Yue help Wang Qiang up.
Wang Yue clasped his fists and saluted: "Yes, Lord Deputy Commander, he is a subordinate cousin, please wait for a while, let me ask him what is going on." ”
Seeing Sheng Qijun nodding, Wang Yue glanced at the people around him fiercely, turned around and asked Wang Qiang who injured him.
Wang Qiang wailed, pointed at Xiang Yu and said: "Cousin, my hand is broken! It's all this stinky beggar, break his limbs for me, I want him to live rather than die!"
Wang Yue suddenly looked at Xiang Yu fiercely, didn't say much nonsense, and came straight to Xiang Yu's door with a punch.
Xiang Yu hurriedly pushed away the girl behind him and met him with the same punch.
Boom!
Xiang Yu retreated more than ten steps before he could stop, and then looked at Wang Yue, not moving!
"Practicing the sevenfold body, it seems that I can't be good today. Xiang Yu thought to himself.
Zhang Lifei, who had been watching the play, said lightly at this time: "I didn't expect a beggar to be a martial artist, don't waste time, just break his hands and drive him out of the city, our matter is important." ”
Xiang Yu was angry, brushed his hair with both hands to show his face, looked at Zhang Lifei and scolded angrily: "Open your dog's eyes and see who I am!"
"I don't care who you are! Break the killing fist, give me death!" Wang Yue saw that his punch was fruitless, and he directly displayed his martial arts.
"Stop!"
Zhang Lifei and Sheng Qijun said in unison, they both recognized Xiang Yu, even if Zhang Lifei and Xiang Yu were opposed, but Xiang Yugui was a descendant of the Marquis of Wu, and there were three longs and two shorts in this public, so they would all be finished.
It's too late! Xiang Yu immediately condensed his luck and punched again.
Seven Stars Break the Sky!
"Boom!"
Xiang Yu flew out upside down and smashed on a delicate body. The crowd around him shook back, and Wang Yue also took a few steps back, looking at Xiang Yu in disbelief, although he was not injured at all.
Burst!
As soon as he turned over, Xiang Yu's body was disordered with qi and blood, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the girl's dirty pretty face was half dyed red, stunned aside.
"Is it hurt, why don't you dodge!" Looking at the girl beside him, Xiang Yu scolded a little angrily.
The girl looked a little at a loss at this time, her eyes were flustered for the first time, Xiang Yu, who was looking at her, was speechless for a while, and turned to look at Zhang Lifei and the others coldly...
