Chapter 36: The Salt Merchant
Asking for flowers... Ask for collections...
————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Duan Zhong himself is a very good storyteller, and his own affairs tend to develop towards a dramatic aspect. For example, now, this is an extremely common hand-to-hand move in the martial arts world, and anyone with a little martial arts cultivation will not avoid it, because if you don't do it, you will either dare not do it, or you will have contempt for the other party.
However, our little prince just avoided it off the beaten path, what does this mean? Duan Zhong knew in his heart that he naturally wouldn't dare to take this hand, but in the eyes of others, it would change the taste: the dignified Wen Yuanbo, a master of the world, why should he partner with you. This is simply a naked insult to our uncle!
So a trace of anger flashed in Tang Xiaodong's eyes, after all, there are not many people in this world who dare to despise a second-stage martial arts master, and you Wen Yuanbo can't do it! Since you don't want to join me, then just fight.
Beat? Joke? If you fight, won't your depth be immediately exposed? So our little prince still chose to hide...... The word "dodge" is not appropriate, it should be used to run. And once a person runs wildly, unless you use light skills to intercept them, even if you are one or two levels higher than the other party, you may not be able to catch up, and the light skills of the partial life section are not bad, and Tang Xiaodong's light skills are not good......
So a good show was staged in the courtyard of the Yusheng Hall. One ran desperately, and the other chased after the girl, like a cat catching a mouse. All the spectators rubbed their eyes involuntarily, which play was this staged? Is there such a duel in martial arts? Today is a novelty.
And Tang Xiaodong was extremely aggrieved at the moment, he was an eight-foot man, and in the face of a little boy who was less than seven feet tall, he was helpless, and he couldn't catch up at all, and besides, this is still called ...... Tournament? So Tang Xiao chased after him in the east and asked, "Fuck you, this is also called a competition?" ”
Duan Zhong turned his head as he ran and said, "My kung fu needs to be running to show its power. ”
Tang Xiaodong was stunned: "What kind of kung fu are you?" ”
Duan Zhong said: "Ling Bo microstep." ”
......
Finally, after a fruitless chase, Tang Xiaodong stopped, you can't fucking fight, if you run like this and don't make a move, you can get out of Nanjing City directly! And the onlookers also burst into boos, after all, they wanted to see Duan Chongwen's demeanor, not to watch the game of cat and mouse.
Duan Chong's wild running took two teas, and at this moment, his face was already red, and the sweat on his forehead had already flowed down. Hearing Tang Xiaodong's angry scolding and the people's boos, he finally stopped and smiled: "Fight, why don't you fight?" ”
As he spoke, he walked slowly towards Tang Xiaodong, raised his palm, and gently patted Tang Xiaodong. And Tang Xiao was horrified to find that he couldn't move, but he couldn't even use a trace of strength. What's going on? ...... Don't...... Could it be that the legendary grandmaster-level master can use his aura to envelop the enemy, and the person who is covered by the aura, unless he is the same grandmaster-level master, will not even have the strength to make a move, and can only be slaughtered by others. Don't...... The young man in front of him turned out to be a legendary grandmaster-level master?
Tang Xiaodong didn't want to believe it in his heart, but the facts in front of him told him that he really didn't have the strength now. So Duan Zhong walked over slowly, gently patted his chest, and fell down without any feeling or any ability to fight back. Thrown on top of the stone slabs.
Duan Zhong arched his hand: "Accept!" Only then did he help Tang Xiaodong up from the ground, and Tang Xiaoran found that his strength suddenly gradually recovered. It's really an unbelievable thing, I've lived for so long, and it's the first time I've encountered this situation.
And after a long silence, the crowd finally erupted into a cry.
Tang Xiaodong looked at Duan Zhong who was smiling in front of him, and had mixed feelings in his heart, it turned out that the other party really disdained it! Bitterly squeezed out a smile: "You...... Is it a grandmaster? ”
Duan Zhong shook his head: "No." It's just that my exercises are rather peculiar. Go back and tell your master, I accepted the 20,000 taels of silver tickets, thank you for me. ”
Tang Xiaodong didn't speak, although he was nominally the head of the Jinwu Regiment, Duan Zhong must have known that there was someone behind him. He sighed helplessly: "What kind of exercise are you?" ”
Duan thought for a while: "Turning bones into palms." It can instantly drain the enemy's energy. After that, he looked at Tang Xiaodong with a smile, "If you are willing to come to my Yusheng Hall, I can teach you!" Duan Chong's words are naturally bluffing, this "turning bones into palms" is just something in a novel, and he naturally can't do it.
And when Tang Xiaodong flicked his sleeves and walked out of the gate of Yushengtang, all the people seemed to know something. Our Wen Yuanbo is a legendary figure who can easily defeat the second-stage martial arts master, and how high Wen Yuanbo's martial arts are, that is also about to come out.
Duan Zhong touched his nose and sighed, he didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, because who knows how much trouble this would cause to himself, after all, if the other party wanted to deal with him again, it was estimated that he would have to come up with one or two masters of the first stage, and then when the time came, wouldn't it be slaughtered by others? No, we have to think of a way, it seems that it is time to write a letter to the old guy on the snowy mountain.
Duan Chong's mood is good, but it's not good. It's good because the 20,000 taels of silver tickets in my hand are real, and I'm in a bad mood because my life has come to a time when it will be threatened. Of course, now Duan Zhong has not yet reflected the value of the other party worthy of using a master to make a move, but it may be said in the future.
But now Duan Zhong can't think about so many things. Because today is the day of the opening of Yushengtang, since it has been greatly displayed today, there will be more stories about Wen Yuanbo in the capital in the future. It's also good to just say goodbye to the shelves and advertise for Yushengtang.
Therefore, Duan Zhong motioned to Zhu Siwen to shout at the throat: "Anyone who signs up for the martial arts hall today will receive a piece of autographed paper signed by Wen Yuanbo." The number is limited, if you want to report as soon as possible, there are only 100 tickets, only 100 tickets! ”
For a while, the applicants flocked in, and immediately the small venue of the Yusheng Hall was blocked. This is contrary to Duan Chong's low-key principle of acting at the beginning......

However, in Hangzhou, a hundred miles away from Nanjing, Ji Wuchang was sitting in the private room outside the building, drinking West Lake Longjing tea quite boredly, looking out the window with his eyes a little confused, looking at the bustling crowd in the past, and couldn't help sighing.
There is only Ji Wuchang alone in the private room, not because our profiteers like to drink tea and drink alone, but because Ji Wuchang is waiting for someone, waiting for a person with a high value. And people with a high worth often have a big shelf, and being late is commonplace, and Ji Wuchang is not a person with a high value, he is just a small boss in the building outside the building, so Ji Wuchang can only wait here patiently.
After another cup of tea, I heard slow, heavy footsteps at the top of the stairs. "Knock", "knock", "knock" knock sounded, Ji Wuchang hurriedly stood up, opened the door, bent down at the door and smiled: "Master Wei can deign to come to the building, impermanence is really an honor." ”
Wei Zhigao is the number one salt merchant in Jiangnan, a wealthy business tycoon in the world, in several famous cities in the south of the Yangtze River, the building has a few shares of Master Wei, but the most important thing is that this Lord Wei is a salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, just this one is enough to become a giant businessman in the rich Jiangnan, and Jiangnan is the richest place in the world.
This old man Wei's body looks a little bloated, naturally he is too well raised, and his fingers are full of huge gold, silver and jade wrenches, but this line is much bigger than Ji Wuchang. However, there is one thing that is very similar to the two, and that is the small pair of eyes that glow. This is the indication of profiteers.
Master Wei sat down unhurriedly on the Asian seat, and said with a smile: "Your outer building is the best new building in Jiangnan recently." I've been here twice and the Dongpo meat tastes really good. ”
Ji Wuchang nodded again and again: "Thank you for the compliment!" As he spoke, he pointed to the food on the table, "I ordered the cook to prepare a portion of the food in the outer building of this building, and I also asked Master Wei to taste it." ”
Wei Zhigao nodded, picked up the chopsticks and ate them. And at the dinner table, flattery and sycophancy are naturally indispensable, but fortunately, Ji Wuchang is extremely good at it. And when he was full of wine and food, Master Wei touched his mouth, sat up straight and said with a smile: "Boss Ji, if you have anything to say, you must not do this thing of inviting people to eat for nothing." ”
Ji Wuchang laughed dryly, and took out a stack of thick silver tickets from his arms: "There are 100,000 taels of silver here, and I invite Master Wei to smile." ”
Wei Zhigao looked at the silver on the table, and did not rush to reach out to pick it up, but looked at Ji Wuchang with a smile. I saw Ji Wuchang smile: "Everyone in the world knows that selling salt is the most money-making thing, Master Wei, your share is small, so naturally you don't dare to make up your mind, but I still want to take a sip of the leftovers you eat." ”
Wei Zhigao narrowed his eyes and finally put away the 100,000 taels of silver tickets. This amount of money is not a small amount, and all the profits of the three buildings in the past three years have been placed here. I only heard Wei Zhigao say: "There are a lot of people who want to eat this leftovers, and it's not easy for you to get in." ”
Ji Wuchang thought about it and raised three fingers: "I'll give you thirty percent of the benefits." I know that this is only higher than what others give, and I still have the 100,000 taels of silver in front of me. ”
Wei Zhigao thought for a while and said with a smile: "But this still needs the approval of one person!" ”
Ji Wuchang smiled and said, "Your Excellency the Governor of Jiangnan, I still only get this." Please also ask Mr. Wei to introduce me! ”
Wei Zhigao nodded, wiped his mouth clean and stood up: "If it's okay, I'll leave first." I'll let you know when I have the news! ”
Ji Wuchang nodded, and watched Master Wei go downstairs with small steps.
