Chapter 457: The little marquis who doesn't suffer
At the top of the blacksmith's shop, there was a red flag fluttering in the wind. (.)
The boss has gold with him, and he is already planning to become a rich man for a few days. In his opinion, young people who buy their own business will soon lose interest in the blacksmith shop, and the kind of place where rough people can stay, Brother Gongzi will not be able to take it for a few days.
When the time comes, buy it back at a price of seventy percent, and easily earn nine thousand taels of gold.
The men were also very happy, and the boss promised to reward each of them fifty taels of gold when they arrived in the city. With this money, anyone can hug the most beautiful kiln sister in the border city and sleep comfortably for a few days.
Someone immediately noticed the appearance of the red flag and walked quickly to the boss's carriage: "I saw the red flag." ”
"What?" The boss was taken aback, knowing that it was only a moment before the transaction was completed, and Brother Gongzi couldn't wait to make a move?
"It's a red flag, indeed, flying over our blacksmith's shop. The man reached out and pointed.
The boss took a closer look, isn't it a red flag, he was happy: "Guys, let's go back again, the reward will be the same, but we have to continue to work today, and it's not too late to go to the border city to find Sister Yao when it's not busy." ”
Although everyone was a little reluctant, after all, the reward was still the same, so they still turned around and returned very obediently.
More than 300 meters away from the blacksmith shop, Xiao Chen and Medina waited for the boss to appear.
The fat boss stopped the carriage and hugged his fist with a smile on his face: "Childe, why do you want to make a move so quickly? It's only been a little more than an hour since we signed the agreement." ”
The little marquis shrugged his shoulders, made an expression unique to a gentleman's disciple, and said, "I thought it was a very interesting thing to run a blacksmith shop, but after a closer look, I realized that it was hard work, so let's forget it." ”
The boss continued to smile with a smile: "But you and I signed an agreement, no matter how long it takes, I only need to redeem it here at a price of seventy percent, ......what do you think?"
"Don't worry, this son is not a person who goes back on his word, so he will do it according to the agreement. He said very generously, "Give me 21,000 taels of gold, and this shop is still yours." ”
"Childe is really a cheerful person, so let's hurry up and complete the delivery. ”
After a few minutes, the little marquis was sure that there was no problem with the amount of gold, so he returned the previous contract to the other party, took the gold and left with the beautiful princess.
The boss kept saying this sentence in his heart, and the nine thousand taels of gold were earned in minutes, just like pies falling from the sky.
Looking at the remaining box of gold, he was overjoyed, and instructed his men: "Everyone take their places, continue the work that has not been done before, and have dinner tonight, one chicken per person plus two pots of wine, I have a treat!"
The men cheered and returned to the blacksmith's shop, but the familiar sound of striking iron was not heard, and several people came to the door with sad faces.
The boss was stunned: "What do you want to do?"
One of them said, "It's empty." ”
"What's empty?" the boss was even more confused.
"Finished and semi-finished products, all kinds of tools, and the steel stored in the warehouse, including the molten iron in the furnace, everything is gone!
The boss was dumbfounded: "Where did our things go, the boy just now obviously left empty-handed, and it was only a little more than an hour, who can he sell those things to?"
"But there's really nothing inside, no wonder people have to hand it over outside. ”
The boss hurriedly looked back, there were still traces of Xiao Chen and Medina, they were riding undead war horses, and they could run out for dozens of miles in just a moment.
His face drooped instantly, and he thought that he had taken a big advantage and repurchased tools and steel, and he couldn't stop without a few thousand taels of gold.
It will take a certain amount of time to purchase these things, and it will not be necessary to restart work within half a month to a month.
plus promised to give the guys fifty taels each, it is estimated that in the end he will not be able to leave anything.
On the grassland, the little marquis laughed very imagelessly.
The beautiful princess gave him a blank look and snorted: "The people in the blacksmith shop will definitely be angry with you, what the hell do you think, you want to empty the people's place." ”
The little marquis swore and said: "It's not that you haven't seen that those people treat the little master as the wronged boss, can I let them get their wish? Besides, you and I killed the zombie general to do good deeds for the people of the grassland, is it possible to do a good deed and have to pay a lot of money, is there such a truth in the world?"
The princess retorted: "The general was originally led out of the dungeon by you, and you should kill him, is it possible that you still want to ask for benefits from others?"
"Well, but I've lost some of it, and those things are worth a maximum of seven hundred thousand taels of gold. The little marquis shrugged and said.
At this time, there were less than two days left before the dungeon was closed, so there was no need to go in again, and the two decided to go directly north to the most prosperous border city.
The destination of this trip is called Jincheng, which is the only one of the dozens of border cities with its own name, and it is said that the prosperity there is no less than that of the medium-sized cities in the rich land of Great Chu.
Medina took the map from her grandfather's study, pointed in the direction where Jincheng was located, and said, "There is only a hundred miles left, and we will be there before dusk." ”
"Great, these days I have been sleeping outside in the open air, and I miss the comfortable inn room very much, instead of continuing to sleep in the tent. He said very generously: "When you arrive in Jincheng, my brother will invite you to eat the best, live the best, and use the best." ”
"Hehe, this is what you said, don't regret it when the time comes!"
Continuing on the road, sixty miles outside Jincheng, there were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, many of whom had more than one wound on their bodies, and must have suffered great pain before they died.
In the center of the corpse, a luxurious-looking carriage was parked.
Surrounded by dozens of black-clad men armed with powerful crossbows, all of them wearing face scarves and revealing only a pair of eyes.
The black-clothed man at the head sneered: "Young City Lord, all your men are dead, can it be possible that hiding in the carriage will allow you to escape?"
A slightly feminine male voice came from the carriage: "Are you willing to kill me? If it is for robbery, you don't have to kill my men, if it is for other purposes, such as kidnapping tickets, you will have no hostages if you kill me, so I cannot die." ”
"Are you so sure, what if we are looking for revenge on you?" The man in black waved his hand, and everyone raised their crossbows, and he said coldly: "As long as I give an order, you will be shot into a hedgehog!"
"Hahaha, if it's really revenge, why don't you just kill me?" The soft voice sounded again: "Say, what do you want to do, do you want money or things, say the numbers, Jincheng will definitely satisfy you." ”
The black man also laughed: "It is said that the young city lord is extremely wise, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today." But one thing you guessed wrong, we don't want money or things, we just want to work with you. ”
Behind a small hill not far away, Martina and Xiao Chen were crawling in the grass.
"Brother Chen, why don't we save people?" she asked in a low voice.
The little marquis's answer was: "Sometimes, the party that suffers is not necessarily a good person, in case we help the other side, wouldn't it be very embarrassing, let's figure out the situation first." ”
They had been here for several minutes, and by that time the men in charge of guarding the carriage had not yet all died.
