Chapter 158: Follower
Suddenly, the two of them realized that their eyes turned to the direction of the beach. saw Jiang Yanyun walking out of the stone yard. She walked to the front of Rong Yuanhang, and first called softly: "Husband, what are you talking about, why don't you invite guests into the house to sit?" β
Rong Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself what she was doing when she ran over? Just wanted to speak, but saw that Jiang Yanyun seemed to have just discovered the identity of the person who came, she said to Li Sandao: "Ah, it turned out to be Senior Li, the concubine is polite to the Jiang family, why don't you go into the house and sit?" β
Li Sandao waved his hand, didn't look at her much, and a few words popped out of his mouth: "No need." β¦β¦ Boy, how do you think about it? β
"Senior Li, this price is too high, not to mention three days, I can't ...... at all," Rong Yuanhang just said. Suddenly, Jiang Yanyun interrupted him, "Xianggong, what price is too high?" β
Rong Yuanhang felt awkward in his heart, it was a bit embarrassing to say this in front of his own woman, so he waved his hand: "It's okay, Yan Yun, you go back." β
"Is it about the three-tailed sky fox?" Jiang Yanyun didn't leave, and continued: "I'm sorry Xianggong, the slave family heard your conversation just now. Then she faced Li Sandao and asked, "Senior Li, my father-in-law has no obligation to compensate you for the silver, right?" β
"Huh?" Li Sandao frowned: "In the woman's opinion, there is no place for you to speak here." β
Rong Yuanhang was furious when he heard this, and just as he wanted to refute, Jiang Yanyun raised his eyebrows: "Senior Li, this seems to be our home, right?" You are the guest, we are the master, are you anti-guest-oriented? Why don't I have a place to speak? Also, on what grounds do you ask my husband to compensate you 100 million taels of gold? β
"The old man has his own ......"
"You and your lady didn't say that at the beginning, they only asked me to accompany you on a trip, and the reward was a three-tailed sky fox." Jiang Yanyun didn't let Li Sandao have a chance to speak, and then said: "Since it is a reward, my husband will take it with peace of mind." He has done what you asked, so why should you get back what you have paid? Moreover, for the sake of your business, my father-in-law was trapped in danger last year, and almost lost his life. But where was Senior Li at that time? β
ββ¦β¦ You didn't manage to come to the rescue! You must know that my husband is in danger for you to do something! But you ignore it. Do you have to talk about conscience? Finally waited for us to save him back, and now he has to come and ask for money? This is the belly of a senior of your rank saints? This is the style of the Four Holy Mansions? Do you count yourself as bullying the small, going back on your word, being untrustworthy, capricious and treacherous? β
"This, I ......" Li Sandao was suddenly dumbfounded by her series of questions, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
"Awesome!" Rong Yuanhang looked at Jiang Yanyun's calm face and couldn't help but be secretly happy, thinking that she would dare to face a martial saint without stage fright.
"Humph!" Li Sandao flicked his sleeves, his face was red, and he held back for a long time before saying: "Even if you say a little bit of truth, but his task has not been completed, this reward ...... I can only give half of it, and I will charge you 50 million taels of gold. Within three days. Fifty million taels of gold, not a tael is missing! β
"Senior Li......" Jiang Yunyan spoke.
"What do you want?" Li Sandao frowned and was very impatient.
"Senior Li, didn't you push my father-in-law into the kang, you also saw it, we live in a poor mountain and remote place, so poor that there is no rice to cook, where can we get so much gold and silver?"
"What about you?" Li Sandao smiled coldly: "Hmph, do you really think that you don't need to give a single child and get a three-tailed sky fox spirit beast for nothing?" β
"Xianggong." Jiang Yanyun turned his head and gently called Rong Yuanhang.
"Ahem." Rong Yuanhang cleared his throat and said, "That's it, Senior Li." Give me two years, and within two years, I will pay you back 50 million yuan. β
"Xianggong ......" Yan Jiangyun stomped her feet, she was very anxious, she originally wanted to respect Rong Yuanhang and let him bargain. Unexpectedly, Rong Yuanhang directly agreed to repay the money!
"Good! But two years is too long. Li Sandao said: "One year, I will only give you one year, 50 million taels of gold will come to my house, and the interest of three points per month is the biggest concession of the old man." Brat. You remembered it for me! If it doesn't come out yet...... Hehe, the old man will do what he says, then you will use your crowned eagle to pay off the debt. β
Li Qian...... Yes! Lee-senpai! Don't you go......" Jiang Yanyun still wanted to bargain with him, but suddenly, Li Sandao flashed, jumped out of the distance, and disappeared into the back mountain after a few seconds.
"He ran away." Jiang Yanyun turned her head and pouted, and said helplessly to Rong Yuanhang. He said with a little reproach: "Xianggong, how can you promise him?" If I let the slave family come, I can talk about the price to less than five million taels! β
Rong Yuanhang waved his hand funny: "Forget it, 50 million is 50 million, if you keep talking, I guess he will turn his face, aren't you afraid that he will use force?" He's a martial saint. β
"This man...... He won't," Jiang Yanyun said, "If he is the kind of person who is quite unreasonable, he will use force on you the first time." And will not give you a precious three-tailed sky fox as a reward. The slave family just saw him at this, maybe if he continued to talk about it, he would be embarrassed to ask for money. β
"Hehe, good daughter-in-law, you can be regarded as a meritorious service!" Rong Yuanhang looked at the woman in front of him and felt how pleasing it was, and put it on her shoulder: "Let's go, let's go into the house." β
Jiang Yanyun's face turned red, Rong Yuanhang rarely made such an affectionate move towards her, and couldn't help but secretly feel sweet, thinking that he had finally been recognized by Xianggong.
β¦β¦
Stone yard.
Zixing, Xiao Yufeng, Jiang Yanyun and Rong Yuanhang sat around a table in the center of the courtyard. Xiao Yufeng asked with a little worry on his face: "...... Husband, so we have to repay 50 million taels of gold in a year? β
"Interest, and interest!" Jiang Yanyun also had a painful face, and said: "The profit of three cents per month alone is one and a half million taels of gold, and this must be repaid, otherwise the profit will be even worse." However, Li Sandao's predecessors are fair, as long as the interest rate of three cents, this is the lowest in the industry. β
"Don't worry, this money ...... I'll find a way to pay it off. "Rong Yuanhang didn't think about running away. Suppose so. As soon as her reputation was not good, she would have to implicate Senior Uncle Zixing - she would never bother to do this. Second, he believes that he has the ability, and in 50 million a year, he should be able to raise it if nothing else.
He thought to himself that tomorrow he would have to go to Hidden Dragon Town, find a market, and dump modern goods. I don't believe I can't make this money!
"It's been ten months, and I don't know what happened to Sister Nangong Ningxiang?" Rong Yuanhang said to himself.
"Nangong Ningxiang?" When Jiang Yanyun heard this, he asked, "Husband, do you mean the owner of Ruixiangbao Jewelry Store in Hidden Dragon Town?" β
"Hey, how do you know her?" Rong Yuanhang asked strangely.
Jiang Yanyun replied: "She came to our house, and she came to look for you. I also asked the little servant to pick up a lot of gifts. Oh, the Ayako Ruyi cloud pattern shirt worn by the slave family was given by her. β
"Oh, how many times have you been?" Rong Yuanhang asked.
"I've been here three times, and each time I've come is a lot of pomp. Very polite, 'brother and sister' called, the slave family didn't say where you went, only said that you went out to run errands and didn't return home. β
At this time, Zixing suddenly said, "Yuanhang, what is that woman looking for you?" I don't think it's a simple woman, she has reached the level of a martial king at a young age. β
"What? You say that Nangong Ningxiang is the king of martial arts?? Rong Yuanhang was shocked, he didn't expect her soft and weak appearance to be so strong!
"Not bad. is a beginner of martial arts, and his identity seems to be quite simple. Zixing said.
Rong Yuanhang thought for a while and said, "Nangong Ningxiang has done mirror business with me. β¦β¦ Listen to the wonders...... I heard that her identity should be the daughter of the Lord of the Four Holy Mansions. β
"It turned out to be the eldest lady of the Four Holy Mansions, no wonder!" Jiang Yanyun nodded in relief. Then he came to his senses: "Hey, Xianggong, since Miss Nangong is from the Four Holy Mansions, can we ask her to intercede and relieve us of our responsibilities?" β
"Forget it. She just has business dealings with me, and there is only a relationship of interest in this, and it doesn't work. What's more, we don't need to accept her favor, don't worry, your husband can afford it. β
β¦β¦
Live in a white sand beach. Rong Yuanhang found another trouble, that is, the problem of eating: if you want to eat meat, you have to travel hundreds of miles to Hidden Dragon Town to buy it. Most of the villagers in Gaoliu Village raise their own livestock, or grow vegetables and farms, and are self-sufficient, and they do not even have a butcher shop.
When it was time to cook, Rong Yuanhang asked Cailong to go to the sea to catch fish. But this is not a long-term solution, the dragon has its mission, and the most important thing is to find the love butterfly flower in this sea of Styland!
This is a real needle in a haystack, Rong Yuanhang instructed Cailong, from near to far, fan-shaped scattered, and successively searched this vast sea area until the day it was found, this process does not know how long it takes, but everyone believes that as long as they are willing to spend time, they will be able to find out the love butterfly flower.
Eating seafood every day will also be tiresome, and it is even more impractical to travel back to modern times every day to bring meat dishes, Rong Yuanhang began to consider whether to move? Although this place is hidden enough, the pattern is too small, and if you really establish a gang or something in the future, it will not be an ideal base at all.
"Forget it, let's find the love butterfly flower and make plans." Rong Yuanhang now only hopes that Cailong can find the traces of the love butterfly flower earlier.
After dinner, Jiang Yanyun and Xiao Yufeng, two beauties, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and made a modern product Lu'an Gua Pian Tea, and several people casually tasted tea and chatted.
Jiang Yanyun proposed: "Xianggong, why don't we buy a few girls to come back?" β
Doing housework is not her forte, Jiang Yanyun used to be the identity of an eldest lady, and now, she and Xiao Yufeng take turns to do laundry, cooking, cleaning, serving Zixing to eat, dress, take a bath, etc. Sometimes I was busy with these lock-ups all day long, and even my martial arts cultivation fell behind.
"Buy a maid and come back? The family is so big, where do they live? Rong Yuanhang asked. However, although it is a temporary residence, he also plans to renovate and renovate it.
For example, bury the pipe to the mountain to pick up the mountain spring and use it, and rebuild the bathroom. The toilet that everyone uses at the moment is a bit difficult to talk about - it is a big wooden barrel. Every night's feces and urine are put on the ground, and then the next day the golden ape is secretly taken and dumped.
It's very indecent to say, but it's a fact, no matter how Zixing, Xiao Yufeng, and Jiang Yanyun solve it. Rong Yuanhang didn't live here for a few days, and whenever he wanted to solve these problems, he secretly traveled back to the modern orchard, solved it in the bathroom in the bedroom, and then came back.
But Zixing and the other three women. But it was not as convenient as him, so he had to obey the environment and use the big wooden barrel as a toilet basin......
"Let's rebuild it appropriately." At this time, Zixing also spoke, everyone has lived in a modern house, and now they have to endure this environment, which makes people very unaccustomed. What's more, Zixing has her own ideas, and she doesn't want to trouble her apprentices Xiao Yufeng and Jiang Yanyun to take care of herself like this every day. Even, sometimes wiping their butts requires them to do it. This is also the sadness of being an armless person, after all, Xiao Yufeng and Jiang Yanyun have different identities, so she also wants to buy someone to take care of herself.
ββ¦β¦ Sail away, take some time, build a bigger house, and fix a bathroom like the one in your hometown. At that time, just buy a girl to serve me, so that Yun Yatou and Feng'er can have more time to practice martial arts. Zixing continued.
Xiao Yufeng also said: "It's nothing to serve your old man, Master. It's just that...... Bathroom, yes should be built one. Also, our house is too small, and it is inconvenient for a guest to come, like the guest surnamed Li in the Four Holy Mansions today, which is really a bit of a snub to others. Husband, why don't we build it, at least make the house bigger. β
"Okay. That's what I mean. Rong Yuanhang nodded, looked at Zixing again and said, "Uncle Shi." I still have a yacht, I'll get it here, let's live in the yacht for the time being, and then move back when the house is built, what do you think? β
"Yachts?" Zixing was a little curious, she was obviously very unfamiliar with this word.
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Yanyun suddenly became excited. "Xianggong, let's live on a yacht!" β
Xiao Yufeng also nodded with a smile and explained to Zixing: "Master, my husband's family has a very beautiful sea boat, and I am with Sister Yun. There are also mothers-in-law, aunts, little Fu sisters, and dumb male girls who have all been to play, which is simply too luxurious! It's a pity that you weren't there during that time, and you happened to be on the way to Nanzhan Buzhou with your husband. β
"Oh, I see." Zixing nodded, and glanced at Jiang Yanyun with a smile: "Look at the excitement of your two girls, what kind of yacht is really beautiful?" β
"Well, really, Uncle Shi, I don't lie to you!" Jiang Yanyun nodded his head fiercely.
Rong Yuanhang said: "Uncle Shi, that yacht is equivalent to a small mobile house on the sea, but it is just ...... Getting it over, I'm a little worried about whether it will cause unnecessary trouble? β
Jiang Yanyun said: "Xianggong, you don't have to worry about this. The slave family has been to the big wharf in Hidden Dragon Town, where there are ocean ships from all over the world, and there are no less than 10,000 ships coming and going in the entire wharf, all kinds of things, and there are more beautiful and peculiar appearances than your yacht. β¦β¦ As long as we don't let others know about its power plant, or the machine inside, it won't attract too much attention. Anyway, we are not the only ones with a novel appearance. β
"That's just as well. Okay, then it's decided, I'll ...... right away No, I'll go over tomorrow and get the yacht over. Rong Yuanhang said.
Zixing and the other three were very satisfied. Jiang Yanyun stood up suddenly: "Alas, I'm sweating all over, uncle, you can't take a bath, why don't I come first?" β
"Go, go, go." Purple Star waved his hand casually.
Jiang Yanyun smiled and deliberately said to Rong Yuanhang: "Xianggong, the slave family is going to take a bath." β
"If you go, you can go......" Rong Yuanhang said indifferently, and the next sentence "What are you doing with so much nonsense?" Before he could say anything, he was stunned. He suddenly thought of the tattered bathhouse, and subconsciously glanced at it, and then looked at Jiang Yanyun.
Sure enough, the woman silently made a mouth shape: "No, Xu, steal, look!" Then she smiled and went into the room to get a change of clothes.
"Damn, didn't you mean to remind me." Rong Yuanhang's heart was about to move.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Rong Yuanhang got up, planning to go to the town today, meet Nangong Ningxiang, see how the mirror is selling, and whether it needs to be replenished. Then find someone to help him sell some modern daily necessities, and try to make money so that he can pay off Li Sandao's arrears as soon as possible.
However, when the sky was still bright, he noticed the roar of the Black Tiger King outside the pine forest, and it was obvious that another guest had come.
"Young Master Rong! Rong Gongzi! A baritone from afar screamed.
"Who is this? Why is the sound so familiar? Rong Yuanhang thought as he dressed.
"Husband, someone surnamed Ruan is coming over outside." Xiao Yufeng suddenly broke into his room.
"The surname Ruan? Nguyen Mao Qi? Rong Yuanhang frowned, "I'll take a look." β
He put on his shoes and walked out slowly.
I saw that at the intersection of the mountain mouth, the huge body of the Black Tiger King was squatting in the center, blocking the way of the comer. A man with a full beard and a five-foot-long cherry spear on his shoulder. A package was hung on the gun and stood there, facing the Black Tiger King in a stalemate.
"Ruan-senpai?" Rong Yuanhang took a closer look, and the person who came was really Ruan Maoqi, but he was strange in his heart, the other party actually came over with a large bag of clothes, what was he doing?
Ruan Maoqi squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Don't." Young Master Rong, Young Master Rong, don't call me 'senior', my old Ruan will be your follower in the future." β
"Well, what do you mean by that?" Rong Yuan Voyage Strange Road.
"It's not interesting, it's a decree from above, so that the contemptible people will follow you every inch to listen to the call." Ruan Maoqi said with a bitter face.
"Could there be such a thing?" Rong Yuanhang suddenly came to his senses: "Oh...... Is it Li San...... Senior Li ordered you to come over? β
Ruan Maoqi nodded and gave a thumbs up, which means that you are right.
"Hey, hey." Rong Yuanhang sneered: "Is he afraid that I will run away and not repay his debts, so he asked you to supervise me?" β
Ruan Maoqi said weakly: "Young Master Rong, my old Ruan shouldn't have been this person in the first place, and introduced you to the top...... I'm asking for my own suffering! Let me tell you the truth, didn't you tell the second master that you would repay him 50 million taels of gold within a year? β
"Not bad." Rong Yuanhang replied calmly.
"That's it," Ruan Maoqi said with a bitter face: "You are my uncle now, if you don't do it, then I will be unlucky." My old Ruan family is all in the hands of the sect. β
"Well deserved!" Rong Yuanhang cursed secretly in his heart, who told you to talk too much? This time, the horse's ass was slapped on the horse's feet, right?
But. Thinking about it again, I still have to be grateful to him, if I hadn't gone to the Great Snow Mountain this time, where would I have obtained the Heaven and Earth Material Treasure Rank Martial King by mistake? Where will you receive a unicorn beast? Speaking of which, this Ruan Maoqi is not only faultless, but also meritorious!
"Lao Ruan," Rong Yuanhang doesn't call him an old-timer anymore, he is a strong man at the level of a martial king. I have to take it anyway, and said: "Don't worry, I will pay back the money, you go back first, you don't have to come over to urge." β
"Young Master Rong. This is not good," Ruan Maoqi said, "I have a home now, and I must wait until you pay off the arrears on time before I am allowed to return to the door." And the positions will be re-arranged, and this flag pavilion is long...... I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it anymore. β
"You're going to follow me?"
Ruan Maoqi nodded.
Rong Yuanhang frowned: "I have a narrow place here, not to mention that there are three female dependents, it is inconvenient for you to stay?" β
"It's okay, I'll just live outside!" Ruan Maoqi said.
"The food is not included, my two ladies are both from the daughter of the daughter, and they can't get food, and sometimes they have to ask me to do it for them."
"I'll do the food myself, Young Master Rong, as long as you can repay the bill on time, then everything will be fine."
"Alright then, whatever you want." Rong Yuanhang was helpless. It's just that I live well with my uncle and sister, and suddenly there is another man here, which is really disappointing.
After thinking about it, he said, "I'm going to go to Hidden Dragon Town now, do you want to go with me too?" β
"Yes, yes." Ruan Maoqi said in a low voice: "Young Master Rong, you should do well, take me as a follower, I can't disobey the orders of the sect, that's going to die!" β
Rong Yuanhang's heart sank slightly, repayment is not a big deal for him, but Ruan Maoqi's net worth and life are all tied to himself, so he has to take it seriously, don't really affect Mao Ruanqi's family when the time comes.
"Lao Ruan, don't worry, I will pay back the money."
"That's good, that's good!"
β¦β¦
Rong Yuanhang returned to the courtyard and told Zixing and the rest of his family, and then found another opportunity to collect the Black King Tiger into the space, and then took Ruan Maoqi to ride the crown mountain eagle and go straight to Hidden Dragon Town, three hundred miles away.
Although Ruan Maoqi is a figure at the beginning of the Martial Sect, he does not have a spirit beast battle pet, not that he can't afford it, but he is unwilling to compromise. Each person can only contract one spirit beast in his life, and the spirit beast is his lifelong companion, and it is also a partner who depends on life and death, sometimes closer than his wife. So he had to choose this 'partner' carefully.
Of course, there are also many cultivators who have a similar kind of thinking to him. A first-level or even second-level spirit beast can afford it, but they are too demanding about the choice of spirit beasts, and if they have the money to buy a second-level spirit beast, they are eager to have a third-level spirit beast! This is a common problem among people. So until now, Ruan Maoqi did not have his own war beast.
He was extremely envious that Rong Yuanhang had a tenth-level spirit beast crested mountain eagle, which was also one of the reasons why he whispered in front of Rong Yuanhang. Because of the tenth-level spirit beast, it can defeat a martial king. ββIn his eyes, Rong Yuanhang's current identity is like a strong man at the level of a martial king.
The Crowned Mountain Eagle descended from a farmer's house on the southern outskirts of Zanglong Town. This farmhouse was also bought by Rong Yuanhang at a high price of 1,000 taels of gold as a foothold and freight transfer station. The house is a little dilapidated, but the courtyard is very large, and there are more than 20 acres of vegetable gardens outside.
"Young Master Rong, this place is also yours?" Ruan Maoqi asked with some curiosity as he resisted the spear.
Rong Yuanhang nodded, "Well, I don't come often." β
"Whew!" Suddenly, the huge wings of the crested eagle were retracted, and a gust of wind blew. Then the figure became illusory and disappeared directly in front of the two.
Ruan Maoqi looked at the war beast ring in his hand enviously, he knew that Rong Yuanhang had collected the crown mountain eagle into the space. That's really a chic one!
"If only I could have ......" Ruan Maoqi shook his head with a smile, with his current share of the income in the gang, he would not be able to buy a war beast ring in a few lifetimes.
"Let's go." Rong Yuanhang said. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and a huge black king tiger appeared in front of the two of them out of thin air.
"Ahh β¦β¦ Black King Tiger? Ruan Maoqi was taken aback by surprise, then turned his head sharply, stared at Rong Yuanhang in shock, and pointed at him tremblingly: "You, you actually have two war pets?" β
"Huh? Didn't you know? Rong Yuanhang asked, he planned to use this Black King Tiger as a mount. In fact, he completely forgot that although Ruan Maoqi had seen the Black Tiger King, he used the excuse that he was a war beast from the 'inner family'.
And now, all of a sudden, he summoned him, how can that explain?
"I, I...... Didn't you say that this Black Tiger King belonged to the young lady? Ruan Maoqi asked in disbelief with a bull's eye.
Rong Yuanhang scratched his scalp, "Oh, really? Maybe I forgot...... Hey, are you still leaving? β
"Let's go!" Ruan Maoqi hurriedly said.
The Black Tiger King bent his front hooves and knelt down to let Rong Yuanhang and Ruan Maoqi ride on the back of the tiger. Rong Yuanhang patted its huge head proudly: "Let's go, go into the city!" β
"Whew!"
The Black Tiger King jumped on his hind legs, jumped out like a gust of wind, and flew in the field and galloped along the dirt road in the vegetable field......
Ruan Maoqi's heart was full of shock, he couldn't imagine that Rong Yuanhang would be able to contract a two-headed war pet! What does this mean? - Absolutely amazing!
"Young Master," he called him now, and even the previous surname was saved.
"What's the matter, Lao Ruan?" Rong Yuanhang responded casually.
Ruan Maoqi asked, "Where are we going now?" β
"Go to my sister's house."
"Oh, so young master, you still have a sister in town?"
"Yes." (To be continued......)
