Volume 2 Frontier Chapter 10 Luo Crocodile and Li Jackal
After Mu Chen and the others left, Luo Crocodile and Li Jackal looked at the spirit stone in their hands with great affection, and their eyes lit up. It is raised to look at the sun with one eye, and it is constantly wiped with a silk cloth, in short, if you get a treasure, you can't put it down.
"Why did you say that this Mu Chen came back, as soon as he walked for nearly three years, the entire human continent thought that he was dead, but I didn't expect this kid to have a really big life, and he actually came back alive. Li Jackal was still rubbing the spirit stone, and his fingers were red.
"I never thought he was dead, he was a mercenary, and he would be resurrected in the tree of life when he died, and there has been no news of him, indicating that man is alive and well in the wasteland. Luo Crocodile made a pot of tea, crossed Erlang's legs, and sat under the veil.
"He really has such a great ability to go into the wilderness alone for three years, I don't believe it, he must be embarrassed, hiding in Tibet to live until now. You didn't see that he brought a wasteland woman, maybe he betrayed his hue, and only saved his life under her protection. Ha ha. ”
"Don't forget, he is the head of the pioneers after all, the first barren layer of the human continent, successfully forced the Infinite Emperor to reform the Employee Management Association, draw the entire Demon Beast Scroll and habitat, and climb the Dragon Cliff Mountain to subdue the Dragon Clan, these achievements have been unmatched until today. ”
"What's the use of that, it's not to obediently send spirit stones to the two of us, and beg us to find someone. I deliberately teased him a few words just now, he didn't dare to say anything, no matter how glorious and great, it was also in the past, what is the use of the head of the pioneers, people go to tea and cool, the other four he brought out back then, what is it like now, fall apart, do not get along, and each defected to the royal family. In the human world, the hired person can only be regarded as a sojourner, and no matter how powerful he is, he has to shrink up and be a man, so he has nothing to fear. "The nature of Li Jackal's villain is exposed, and the more he talks, the bigger he becomes.
"It's better to be careful, don't consider the overall situation of the current employer, after all, he is the former leader of these people, and after all, he is the strongest person in this continent, if he really turns against us, we may not be able to bear it. ”
"What are you afraid of, we are not the little errands of the past, who in this entire border area does not know you and me, besides, there is an official position, more than two years of black market supervision is not in vain, the fierce and vicious wasteland people can be driven away, and I am afraid that he will be a son-in-law of the wasteland who has been in the world for a long time. ”
"It's been a long time? ”
"Just treat him as if he's dead, hahahaha. Li Jackal laughed, and Luo Crocodile laughed too.
"To say that the only thing that hasn't changed is his habit of being generous, you look at this spirit stone, just to find someone, he is so generous. Li Jackal is still playing with the spirit stone, and he has no intention of letting go.
"Who says it's not, I remember that when we were middlemen in the black market, we hoped to meet him, as long as it was what he wanted and wanted to know, it was really generous, and it was enough for us to live for several months at that time. ”
"Alas... At that time, it was not easy for the two of us, in order to find out some news for him, he was unconscious when he drank, and it was worth his commission. Li Jackal shamelessly recalled the events of the year, and forcibly reasoned his own efforts.
"What do you say the woman he asked us to find today is for, how did she run into the mountains on the human side?" Luo Crocodile poured a cup of tea and drank it all.
"Then who knows, I guess I found a good match, no, it's a good pair, and I lost one. ”
"Haha, I don't know if it's good or not, it must be an important person anyway, otherwise how can I spend such a big price. ”
"He said that he looked similar to the wasteland woman he brought, I guess they were sisters, they must have played with other people's sisters or sisters, and people caught them, didn't this pressure him to find someone?"
"Hahahaha, you will guess if you are still a jackal, no kidding, how do we deal with this matter, after all, after receiving money, there must always be some action. ”
"What can I do if I collect his money, I just said that I found it, and the villagers also went, and he can still confront the two of us, there is no rule for calculating accounts in the black market. ”
"It's not okay to rely on it like this, we can't use the rules of the black market to deal with him, it's better to be cautious. That's it, Brother Jackal, at noon, you go to find a few people, you can do anything, let them serve Mu Chen, if you can't find someone, it depends on your luck, find the best, we can still collect one more spirit stone, if you can't find it, we can count it as doing something for him, if he comes back to entangle, there is also a reason. ”
"You are becoming more and more timid now, it turns out that we respect him and are afraid of him, that is because we have no money and no prestige. Now, we manage the entire black market, and the booth fee and draw are a lot of income, as well as the trading with the Infinite City's Lizhong Chamber of Commerce, which is exclusive and no one competes. How can we be regarded as a wealthy party, the money no longer has to look at people's faces, let alone fame, we have the support of the homeland city behind us, in the past two years, we have not run to the young city lord, although it is under his jurisdiction, but we pay more taxes than the sum of other towns, I don't believe that if we are in trouble, he will sit idly by. ”
"Having said that, you have to think about whether he is really serious with the two of us, who is his opponent between you and me, and who can beat him in the entire border area. He is now carrying a wasteland woman, which means that he must have a place to stay in the wasteland, what if he turns his face and kills the two of us and runs back to the wasteland, even if the young city lord really wants to be the master for the two of us, he can't send troops to the wasteland to arrest people. ”
"Refuse to receive the merchant group, as long as he stops trading with the Baker Ministry's merchant group, the wasteland people will definitely not let him go, isn't this trick tried and tested repeatedly? After Li Jackal finished speaking, he pursed his lips and looked at the spirit stone in his hand with a disdainful expression.
"I said Brother Jackal, why don't you understand it? What you said has forgotten a premise, that is, we were already dead at his hands at that time, whether the wasteland people are looking for him to vent their anger or kill him, what is the use, we are already dead, dead, Brother Jackal. ”
"Oh oh, yes, just thinking about how to clean him up, if he really jumps over the wall and kills the two of us, then it's not worth the deal. As you said, I'll go find some drunkard scoundrels in a moment and ask them to help him find someone. After speaking, Li Jackal stopped playing with the spirit stone and held it in his arms.
"That's it, come to Brother Jackal, drink tea. ”
After the two discussed, they sat there and drank tea, admiring the gradually busy scene of the black market, with a calm expression and no guilt.
When Mu Chen first saw the two of them, they fought with a few hunters for half a deer leg, but the value of a few silver coins was worth a lot of blood. In the end, the nearby stall owners couldn't stand it and stepped forward to stop them, so the hunters reluctantly stopped and let them go.
Luo Crocodile, who was lying on the ground holding a deer's leg, had a bloody face and couldn't cry, while Li Jackal hurriedly explained his innocence to the onlookers. Mu Chen saw the whole process in his eyes and felt that they were pitiful, so he gave them some money to treat their wounds.
Three days later, the two of them came to the place where Mu Chen lived, which is now their residence, on the fourth floor of the tulou, to explain their abilities to Mu Chen, recommend themselves, and be willing to do anything for him, just asking for a full meal. Although Mu Chen didn't agree, he still gave them some money and asked them to live in peace in the border area and not come to the black market again. But who knows, a few days later, the two of them appeared in the tavern again, with the same rhetoric and the same tragic situation, and deceived Mu Chen several times.
The tavern owner reminded Mu Chen several times not to give them any more money, they are famous scoundrels in this area, idle all day long, living by stealing and scamming, and if they have money, they either gamble or drink too much, and they were beaten before and stole other people's deer legs after buying meat, and insisted that the hunters did not abide by the rules of the black market to settle the accounts, and finally people couldn't bear to do it.
Mu Chen did not alienate them because of these, but asked them to do things for themselves, whether it was to collect information about the wasteland, or to buy and sell items in demand, they were all handed over to them, because the two of them were mixed in the market all the year round, many things were done easily and handy, not only could they complete Mu Chen's entrustment on time, but also learned to take the initiative to approach the buyer and seller after a long time, match each other, profit from it, accumulate a lot of wealth, and gradually became a famous broker in the border area, and finally lived like a person.
It was probably at this time that Mu Chen defeated the Boundary Map Department and left the black market. His emotions for human beings are very complicated, sometimes pity, sometimes hatred, sometimes no care, but for Luo Crocodile and Li Jackal, he should have been a cold sider but helped him, maybe in his eyes, such a person also has difficulties in being a person, and should not be left alone.
After Mu Chen left, the business of Luo Crocodile and Li Jackal's broker was booming, and the bulk transactions on the black market basically had to pass through them, and the buyers and sellers had a good reputation for them. Later, through various channels, he took the initiative to pay taxes to the Homeland City, and finally at the behest of the young city lord, he was in charge of the black market and became a supervisor.
Originally, two scoundrels who lived on the fringes of society and did all kinds of bad things turned into people who were feared by everyone in the black market, and they should have abandoned their bad habits and acted in a down-to-earth manner, but not only did they not restrain themselves, but they became more and more arrogant. Maybe it's to take revenge for the unbearable past, maybe they are such people, and no one can give a definite answer.
The two were silent for a moment, and Luo Crocodile asked: "By the way, Brother Jackal, there is another matter, are the goods of the Lizhong Chamber of Commerce ready, and someone will come to pick them up in a few days." ”
"It's still a little bit close, don't worry, you must be prepared for these two days, and nothing will go wrong. ”
"Then you hurry up, I'm the vice president of Tie who promised in person, we can't lose such a lucrative deal because of our own negligence. ”
"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've done business with them, I'll arrange it in the afternoon, and I'll definitely deliver it on time." ”
The sun was already hot, and they drank the last cup of tea and went inside. The tavern downstairs is open for business, customers from far and wide flock to it, and the black market, as usual, is full of flowers and crowds.
