Right now, the auction time is getting closer.

But there is a reality that he has to face, there is a lack of top players around him.

The sword has no trace of coming and going, and it is not reliable to rely on him to make a move. And Ling Yan is his killer weapon, and he will never let her take risks unless he has to.

But how to get a top master in the short term?

This is a very real problem.

Soon, Chu Yi thought of a way, that is, to hire guards at a high price.

Where do the guards come from?

Chu Yi thought about it, so he set his target on the beggar gang.

The beggar gang is the largest sect in the rivers and lakes, not to mention the masters. If you can hire a master from the beggars, you can solve the urgent needs of the moment.

Just do it.

"Tong Ming, Tong Ming..."

"Young Master. Tong Ming hurriedly ran in.

"You hurry up and invite the two Hanako from before to Deyue Tower, and I'll invite them to dinner at noon. ”

Tong Ming was puzzled and said, "Young Master, what are you doing when you invite them to dinner?" I have been with you for so many days, and I haven't seen you invite me to Deyue Tower for dinner. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, do it quickly. If you don't see anyone at noon, be careful that I will deduct your salary for this month. ”

"Yes. Young master, what do you say, why do I do it? Tong Minglao was unhappy and ran out with a black face.

Near noon, Chu Yi and Ling Yan were sitting in a private room in Deyue Tower, and the dining table was full of delicious food.

After a while, Tong Ming led three beggars in.

"Childe, they're here. ”

"I've seen Childe!" the three beggars said in unison.

Chu Yi didn't see anything outside, and said with a smile: "I have a leg disease, and the hospitality is not good, please sit down." ”

Among the three, the leader was a middle-aged man of about 40 years old. I saw that he was wearing a long gown with many patches, although it was very shabby, but it was very clean, and he did not look like a beggar, but a scholar.

The man bowed his hand and said, "Childe is polite." I don't know what it's like to call me to come today?"

"What do you call it?" Chu Yi asked with a smile.

The middle-aged man arched his hand and said, "Under Liu Decai, he is a disciple of the beggars gang with five bags." ”

Chu Yi arched his hand and said: "Looking at Brother Liu's speech and demeanor, I think he is a scholar." ”

Liu Decai was ashamed and said: "Don't hide it from the son." I did read a few books in the next year, but there was no hope for the middle lift. It also coincided with the great changes in the family, and when he was desperate, he begged. ”

Chu Yi smiled slightly: "As the saying goes, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion." Brother Liu may be hopeless in the imperial examination, but he may not be able to show his ambitions and make a career in this industry. ”

Liu Decai originally had a good impression of this generous son, and he admired it even more when he heard the words today.

"Borrow the good words of the child. ”

"Brother Liu, two brothers, hurry up and take a seat, let's eat and chat. Chu Yi invited them to sit down again.

However, Liu Decai didn't sit, and the other two young disciples naturally didn't dare to sit.

Liu Decai arched his hand and smiled: "Gongzi Xie." ”

The three of them sat down one after another.

Chu Yi picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, I will do it first to show my gratitude." ”

Liu Decai hurriedly raised his glass and said with a little nervousness: "It is most normal for the son to pay for it, and we to contribute." Where can I live up to this gratitude!"

Chu Yi drank it all and explained: "Having said that, you can also pay attention to your efforts. Is it ten points of force or five points of force, and whether the force is accurate or not is very important. Doing all your best and being precise naturally reflects a person's intentions and abilities. ”

Liu Decai's eyes showed gratitude: "Gongzi Xie." ”

After three rounds of drinking, Chu Yi asked tentatively: "Don't hide it from Brother Liu, your gang is the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, and my admiration for it is like a surging river, endlessly." I would venture to ask, do you have any masters in Luochuan?"

Liu Decai pondered for a moment and said cautiously: "I don't know what the son is talking about?"

Chu Yi put down the chopsticks in his hand and said with a slight sigh: "Since ancient times, it is understandable to emphasize agriculture over business. However, the rich have no land, and the poor have no place to stand, which will lead to inequality between the rich and the poor. Furthermore, if you are poor, you will be worried, if you are rich, you will be arrogant, if you are arrogant, if you are worried, you will be violent, and if you are worried, you will be robbed. ”

Liu Decai was quite surprised by his remarks, but he didn't know what he meant for a while, so he simply stopped answering and waited for the next words.

"Riots and thieves are born, and the world is in chaos. ”

Liu Decai was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. Now that the world is peaceful, someone suddenly said that there was a riot of theft, and the world was in chaos, and this is not sincere and wants to rebel!

Chu Yi coughed dryly twice and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my thinking is a little jumpy, and I digress." ”

Liu Decai breathed a sigh of relief and reminded: "Childe be cautious!"

"Alas. Don't hide it from Brother Liu, a few days ago, when I was walking at night, I met four gangsters, not to mention robbing money, and beat me violently, and even ridiculed me for having leg problems. Although I came from a wealthy background, my family had a scripture that was difficult to read, and many things were not what I wanted to do. Therefore, when I invited Brother Liu over today, I wanted to hire a master from your gang to secretly protect me and the people around me. ”

Tong Ming's eyes showed a look of adoration, and he couldn't help but add fuel and vinegar: "Brother Liu, my young master's filial piety is a matter of course. In order not to worry the old lady, she thought about inviting a master from your gang to protect her secretly. ”

Liu Decai's experience of begging has allowed him to see a lot of the world. Regardless of whether the person in front of him is true or false, but the sentence "The rich have no place to stand, and the poor have no place to stand, which will lead to inequality between the rich and the poor".

Just rush to this sentence, he is willing to do it.

As for whether it will succeed or not, that's another matter.

"Don't hide it from the son, a few days ago, the Elder Protector of the Gang came to the rudder in person. If he is idle and willing to be this guard, it will be best. ”

"Elder Dharma Protector? Chu Yi said curiously.

"The Dharma Protector Elder has a very high position in the Gang. If you talk about martial arts, at least you are also the top master of the nine grades of martial arts. ”

"Nine Rank Master!" Chu Yi said in surprise.

Liu Decai smiled and said, "Childe, I'm just the one who talks." As for whether his old man is willing, he doesn't dare to pack a ticket. By the way, is there a deadline?"

"The time limit is 10 days. After ten days, let me stay. This matter annoyed Brother Liu. Also, the price is not an issue, despite the offer. ”

"Good. That's doing your best. ”

After the meal, Liu Decai took the two of them and immediately returned to the rudder.

The hand is soft when taking people's things, and the mouth is soft when eating people's things. He, Liu Decai, is the most reluctant to owe favors.

Back at the rudder, Liu Decai searched everywhere, and finally found this self-proclaimed "Xiaoyaozi" Dharma Protector Elder next to a haystack.

"Five bags of disciple Liu Decai, see Elder Dharma Protector. ”

Xiaoyaozi was wearing a tattered blue robe, his hair was messy, and his face was dirty.

At this moment, he was lying on the grass, with Erlang's legs crossed, holding a greasy chicken leg in his right hand and a jade translucent wine jug in his left hand.

"Decai, what are you doing in such a panic?"

Liu Decai bowed down and said, "Elder, the disciple has something to report to you." ”

Xiaoyaozi wiped his greasy mouth, bared his teeth and said, "Don't fix those empty ones, hurry up and fart and shit." ”

Liu Decai said respectfully: "Elder, the disciple recently got acquainted with a rich son. Today, the prince invited me and the other three to a banquet in Deyue Tower. ”

Hearing the words "Deyue Tower", Xiaoyaozi's eyes lit up and interrupted: "Wait." You kid actually went to Deyue Tower, and you have a lot of skills. ”

Liu Decai hurriedly explained: "Elder, it is not a disciple's ability, but an invitation from a son. ”

"Oh, and such a good thing!" Xiaoyaozi took a sip of wine.

Liu Decai stabilized his mind and mustered up his courage: "Elder Qiqi, this prince invited me to Deyue Tower because I had something to ask for, and it was related to the elder. ”

"What does it have to do with my old name Hanako?"

"Elder, that young man said, if you are willing to be his guard, he will agree to any conditions you make!"

Xiaoyaozi smiled: "Do you believe this? You Liu Decai is also a scholar, and you don't have any eyesight." ”

Liu Decai said truthfully: "Elder, before the disciple goes, he actually inquired clearly. This son is the son of Chu Jianfeng, the loyal and brave marquis, named Chu Yi. Chu Gongzi was originally stupid, but he didn't know that he was blessed by misfortune and became smart. It's a pity that suffering from leg disease is not perfect after all. Perhaps, with this experience, it can be shocking and terrifying. ”

"Shocked and frightened? Xiaoyaozi asked with a smile.

"He said, 'If you are poor, you will be worried, if you are rich, you will be proud, if you are arrogant, if you are angry, if you are worried, you will be a thief.' Riots and thefts, the world is in chaos. ’”

"Hahaha. It's a good sentence 'Wrap up the thief, the world is in chaos.' 'This little guy is funny. ”

Liu Decai was happy when he saw him, and said tentatively: "What does the elder mean?"

"I always tell Hanako to treat money like dung, and just take care of wine and food every day. You ask him to wait for me tomorrow at noon with wine and food at the Land Temple in the eastern suburbs of the city, and I will see him. ”

"It's the Elder. ”

Liu Decai took the order and left.

Xiaoyaozi took a sip of wine, looked at the blue sky with his eyes, and muttered: "I can't remember my merits to others, but I can't forget them; ”
