Chapter 1011: The Plantation
That Murong Chanjuan had once received benefits from that Murong Yuan, and now that Murong Chanjuan had to pay the price, and that Murong Yuan was not an easy person to deal with.
Those East Franconian mercenaries, they avoided the real battle in the many duels between Tang Zhaozong and Tang Zhangwei.
The East Franconian mercenaries and nobles, they started selling the beer they carried, they had a good way to do it, they were always so happy, no matter what time it was, these people didn't seem to worry.
Therefore, that Tang Zhangwei also likes them very much.
That Tang Zhaozong, seeing those East Franks who should work for themselves, they started business one by one and made a fortune or a small fortune. That Tang Zhaozong admired it very much, but he looked down on these people in his heart.
In fact, that is the sorrow of the little people, how they live their lives have to be calculated in every possible way, but the one who fights against them, they will take advantage of the miserliness of these Franks.
In fact, these Franks are very pitiful, they are sick and do not even dare to go to the hospital, these poor worms, but they never get anyone's sympathy.
These people are fooled and ridiculed by the big guys, and when those people lose their temper because they are bullied and insulted, the poor ones can only swallow their anger because of the escalation.
Those who are arrogant, they have never sympathized with the plight of those who are pitiful.
On the contrary, these people regard the East Francians as fools, as well as the poor people of the Tang Dynasty.
In the minds of these people, only the successful person has dignity, and everyone else is stupid and mentally retarded.
That Tang Zhangwei is not such a person, he knows that everyone has their own dignity, if you refute other people's face for no reason, others will definitely get it back.
Therefore, in the eyes of that Tang Zhangwei, a variety of flowers and less thorns are their necessary means.
However, when that Tang Zhangwei began to be impacted by that Murong Chanjuan, that Tang Zhangwei began to think about his future and ordered his subordinates to immediately prepare to deal with those people.
After all, those people posed a serious threat to Tang Zhangwei.
Especially the Murong Long Sword under Murong Chanjuan, and the bronze giant ape that made Bai Cunxiao feel a headache.
That Bai Cunxiao said to Tang Zhangwei: "Actually, if we bombard with a giant cannon, we can destroy that damn bronze giant ape in no time, but unfortunately we can't use this weapon." Because of this chaotic cannon, I estimate that the entire Peony Manor will be in ruins immediately. ”
Tang Zhangwei said: "Let me think about this problem again, as long as we brainstorm ideas, I don't believe that it can't be solved." ”
Bai Cunxiao went out, they used many methods and mobilized many masters, but there was no way to hack the bronze giant ape to death.
Therefore, that Bai Cunxiao was very annoyed by this, and that Bai Cunxiao knew that Tang Zhangwei was also very worried about this problem.
In that Bai Cunxiao's eyes, if this bronze giant ape didn't die, that Murong long sword wouldn't be killed.
That selfish, vicious and abnormal Murong Chang will continue
That Bai Cunxiao was eating delicious food, and he and his subordinates were discussing how to deal with those enemies.
I can't even learn to ride a horse! He said. Then, his body suddenly froze, as if he suddenly remembered something and was startled. He let out a small exclamation and rushed back into the darkness. When he returned, the man called "Double Flower" was slumped on his shoulders, short, skinny, and strangely dressed—wearing a pair of knee-length trousers, and a shirt of very bright color and strong contrasting colors, which shook the sensitive eyes of the Itachi even in the dim light.
"It doesn't break to the touch." Tang Zhaozong gasped. Brawood winked at the Weasel and walked over to examine what they had thought was a head animal.
"You'd better leave it alone." The wizard said, eyes not leaving the unconscious double flower, "Trust me. There is a force that protects it. ”
"Is it a spell?" Itachi said and crouched down.
"No, no, no, but I guess it's some kind of magic. Not ordinary magic. I mean, it can turn gold into copper without losing its gold, it can destroy all one's possessions, it can make one have nothing and become rich at the same time, it can make the weak walk among thieves without fear, it can pass through solid gates and loot treasures under layers of protection. Until now, I am still imprisoned by its power, so that I have to follow this madman and protect him from harm. This thing is more powerful than you, Brawood; More cunning than you, Itachi. ”
"So, what's this magic called?"
Tang Zhaozong shrugged his shoulders, "According to our words, it is called 'Thorn (1)'. Do you have any alcohol to drink? ”
"You know, it's not like I don't know anything about magic," said Itachiko, "and I ...... last year Of course, thanks to my friend, I took the wand and moonstone belt of the mighty archmage Imitelli, and later took his life. I'm not afraid of the 'thorns' you mentioned. But," he continued, "I am very interested in what you say. Can you tell us more? ”
Brawood looked at the mass on the road. It's closer now, and it can be seen more clearly in the twilight of dawn. This thing looks like a ......
"A box with legs?" He said.
"I'll tell you," Tang Zhaozong said, "just give me some wine, okay?" ”
There was a roar in the valley in the distance, followed by a hissing sound. Some people with a little more insight than others ordered the floodgates of the Anko River to exit the Twin Cities were closed. The river could not flow, but began to gush back, forcing itself ashore and rushing into the fire-torn streets. Soon, the sea of fire turned into an ocean, and everything on the land was like islands, the river was gradually rising, and the islands were gradually shrinking. Over the smoky city, the scorching heat of the water rises and obscures the stars. Itachi felt that the shape of the steam looked like a jet-black mushroom from a distance.
The haughty Anco and the filthy Mopock form the Twin Cities, and if the Twin Cities are entities, any other city in time and space is only a shadow of it. This twin city, which has been invaded and experienced vicissitudes, can always make a comeback. This time, the flood that followed the fire consumed everything that was not burned, and brought a particularly serious infectious disease to the survivors. But even so, the Twin Cities did not fall. It can only be said that this catastrophe is a burning rest in the long story of the Two Cities—a charred comma, a semicolon made of fire spirits.
A few days before the disaster, a ship sailed down the Anko River into the port of Mopock, where the docks and docks were crisscrossed, as the tide came. The ship was loaded with pink pearls, milk fruits, pumice stones, and official letters addressed to the Maharaja of Anko, as well as a man.
The man caught the attention of Blind Huey. Blind Huey is one of the beggars who begs for the morning shift at Pearl Dock. He poked his elbow into the ribs of the lame tile and pointed silently.
The men who came with the ship were standing on the edge of the dock, watching the seafarers struggling to remove a large copper-covered box from the gangplank. There was another man standing beside him, who appeared to be the captain. Blind Huey, even if there was a small pile of gold fifty paces away, his nerves would flutter. There was something about these seafarers that excited the nerves all over Blind Huey's body, sending the strongest signal to the brain: a windfall is just around the corner!
Sure enough, after the box was unloaded on the pebble beach, the stranger who came with the ship pulled out the money bag, and the coins flashed - a lot of coins, and they were gold coins. Blind Huey's body shook like a hazelnut branch that had detected a source of water (2). He poked the lame tile again, and sent him to hurry to the nearby path into the city center.
The captain turned back to the boat, and the stranger remained alone by the dock, looking dazed and not knowing what to do. Blind Huey grabbed his begging bowl and ran all the way through the streets, with a flattering look on his face.
As soon as the stranger saw him, he quickly reached out and grabbed the money bag.
"Hello, sir!" Blind Huey greeted, and when he looked up, he saw that the person in front of him had four eyes. He turned around and ran.
“?” The man grabbed Blind Huey's arm. Huey knew that the sailors standing by the cable were laughing at him, and at the same time, his sensitive nerves sensed the presence of money—and it felt very strongly.
He didn't move. The stranger let go of him, opened a black-covered pamphlet on his belt, sniffed around, crawled into a small hole in the base of the opposite wall, and vanished.
At the same time, a fortune teller who lived on the other side of the block who had never counted his fortune casually glanced at the crystal ball and called out in a low voice. Within an hour, she sold her jewelry, all sorts of magical equipment, most of her clothing, and almost everything she couldn't afford to take away on horseback to buy the fastest horse she could afford. Later, the house she lived in collapsed in flames, and at the same time, she died in a very strange landslide in Mount Mopok. This incident proves that the Grim Reaper also loves to joke.
The way-finding rat disappeared into the labyrinthine tunnels beneath the city, and ran wildly under the guidance of the ancient nature of finding the right way. At the same time, the maharaja of Anko Mopock picked up a stack of letters delivered by the albatross early in the morning. With a worried look on his face, he glanced at the top one again, and called his chief detective.
At the same time, at the Broken Drum Restaurant, Shuanghua talked eloquently, and Tang Zhaozong listened with a mouthful.
"So I decided to see for myself." The short man said, "My savings for eight years, but every half of the linu is worth it."
I mean...... I'm finally here, to Anko Mopock, a place known for its songs and legends...... Their footprints are left on the streets: Whitebladed Herrenknecht, Barbarian Heron, Central Axis Visitor Brawood, and Weasel ...... You know, all of this, I used to dare to think about. ”
Tang Zhaozong listened, as if he was enchanted, and his face was frightened.
"I can't stand my old life in Beth Pelagi anymore." Shuanghua happily opened the chatterbox, "Sitting at the desk all day long, adding up a string of numbers, just to get some overtime pay at the end...... How can it be a little romantic? I thought to myself, "You can't just listen to other people's stories, you can be 'immersive', and from now on, you don't have to go to the dock to listen to the sailors' stories." So I made up a quote myself, booked a route, and caught the nearest ship to the Brown Islands. ”
"Don't have a bodyguard either?" Tang Zhaozong asked in a low voice.
"Nope. What do you want a bodyguard to do? What do I have on me worth grabbing? ”
Tang Zhaozong coughed, "You have ...... Cough...... Ah, gold. ”
"There are only 2,000 linu, not enough to live for a month or two, I mean at my house.
I think maybe some money will be spent here. ”
"Is Rinu one of those big gold coins?" Tang Zhaozong asked.
"Yes." Shuanghua looked at the wizard worriedly from the top of his strange-looking, see-through lenses, "Do you think two thousand is enough?" ”
"Uh......" Tang Zhaozong said in a hoarse voice, "I mean, yes...... Enough is enough. ”
"That's good."
"Hmm...... Is it true that everyone in the Agadine Empire is as rich as you? ”
"Me? Wealthy? Don't scare me, how can you think that? I'm just a poor clerk! Do you think I just gave the shopkeeper too much money? Shuanghua asked.
"Uh...... If he had given less just now, I guess he wouldn't have objected. Tang Zhaozong admitted.
"Well, I'll have to be smart next time. I know there are a lot of rules that I have to learn slowly. It occurred to me ...... Tang Zhaozong, if I hire you as a ...... Well...... I don't know if it's a good word, but hire you as a 'guide', do you think you're willing? I'll give you a linu for a day, and I think I can afford it. ”
Tang Zhaozong wanted to open his mouth to respond, but the words seemed to be blocked in his throat, and he didn't want to spit into this world that seemed to be crazy. Shuanghua blushed.
"I'm sure I'm offending you." "It's rude to ask of a professional like you," he said. You've got a lot of work to do—advanced magic, it's definitely ......"
"No," Tang Zhaozong said weakly, "I'm fine. A Linu, you say? One a day? Every day? ”
ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм
"In the present situation, I should probably give you a rise of one and a half linu a day. Of course, let's calculate the daily living expenses separately. ”
The wizard suddenly recovered. "That's it," he said, "and that's good." ”
Shuanghua put her hand into the money bag, took out a big round gold guy, stared at it for a while, and then put it in again. Tang Zhaozong failed to seize the opportunity to take a good look at it.
"I want to ......," said the tourist, "and I want to take a little rest." It's not close. Can you come back to me at noon, we can walk around the city. ”
"No problem."
"Now, please tell the boss and take me to my room."
Tang Zhaozong complied.
