After Dian Wei was fooled, he also willingly called Wang Xu's boss. Of course, he himself understood the meaning of the boss as a virtuous brother, although he felt that this title was a little strange, but he only thought it was the local dialect of Wang Xu's hometown. At the same time, he also admired Wang Xu's "wisdom" very much, coupled with the conditions he had said before, so Dian Wei really didn't break his promise. obeyed Wang Xu's words, and basically did not raise any objections along the way.

And Xu Shengke, who knew the inside story, was happy, when he heard Wang Xu's explanation, his mouth opened wide, and he was surprised for a long time before he came back to his senses, but he never thought that the calm and wise Wang Xu would do this. But I didn't say it wisely, and I vaguely even figured out the so-called "simple questions" before. From now on, I won't think about those strange questions, let alone participate in them, so as not to be teased by Wang Xu!

But Dian Wei was a little troublesome, perhaps because of his personality, he actually drilled the tip of the bull's horns, pestered Wang Xu to continue to test him, and insisted on thinking about it on his own. Therefore, except for Wang Xu and Xu Sheng who took the initiative to talk to him, they were all thinking alone without saying a word. Of course, he never got it right! This continued until six days later. When he answered the wrong question "what kind of cloth cuts constantly" for the twentieth time, although Dian Wei was very persistent, he finally gave up. He sighed as if resigned to his fate, and asked no more.

This also made Wang Xu breathe a long sigh of relief, if he continued, he himself would be a little unbearable, worried that he would be stupid to hit this super bodyguard. In fact, even he himself can only barely answer a small part of this kind of question, so on the premise of knowing the nature of brain teasers, let alone Dian Wei, who is an ancient? In this era, except for a very small number of extremely intelligent people, who can understand the strangeness? If this kind of thing makes Dian Wei lose confidence in himself, it will be a bit more than worth the loss. However, Dian Wei's self-regulation ability is surprisingly good, and after choosing to let go of this matter, he didn't think about it at all, as if he had completely forgotten about it.

In addition to enjoying the scenic spots and customs along the way, Wang Xu is also very keen on learning martial arts and discussing martial arts! Because since Daoist Xuanwei left, no one has ever instructed him. And for more than a year, he has been busy fighting on the battlefield, although he has made rapid progress between life and death, but he can not slowly confirm and understand it like playing with masters. Moreover, Wang Xu also knows that he has entered a period of rapid growth. Because he remembered that Daoist Xuanwei once said that the golden time for a person's martial arts to grow fastest is between 15 and 30 years old, and the peak is about 23 years old. Therefore, he cherishes every opportunity to improve. And the effect is also remarkable, the three of them have benefited a lot, especially Wang Xu himself, combining the experience of the battlefield and the teaching of the previous Xuanwei Daoist, the progress is very great!

In the blink of an eye, a month passed. Because Dian Wei has no horses, this road is all on foot, plus stop-and-go and delays on the road, until the ninth day of April, Wang Xu and the three arrived in Yangzhou Shouchun at a turtle speed.

This Shouchun was first called Shouzhou, and when Xia Yu divided the world into Kyushu, it belonged to Yangzhou. Its place is located in the south of the Huai River, north of the Yangtze River, when the Chang Huai rush. It is also because it is based on the Huai River in the north, chokes the Yingying River in the west, and brings the river to the Xiangjiang River, so it is not only a place where soldiers and politicians must fight for in the past dynasties, but also a prosperous city with developed commerce and trade. It is known as the barrier of the Central Plains and the throat of the south of the Yangtze River. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the county seat of Jiujiang County, Yangzhou.

This ancient city, which contains a profound historical heritage, soon attracted Wang Xu, who had just arrived. Although it is still much worse than the capital Luoyang, it is also extremely prosperous. Moreover, the architectural landscape and customs are very different from those in the north, without that kind of roughness and heroism, but with a touch of softness and elegance. A little less domineering and magnificent, but more beautiful and tranquil! What's more, this is the first time in his life that he has come to the south, so of course he is very excited.

Xu Sheng and Dian Wei are not much better, they are still young people, and they are equally curious when they see new things, and they are scurrying around the streets and alleys with great interest. And this time, Wang Xu even found a relatively rare horse market. Thinking that Dian Wei didn't have a horse, it was not a problem to always walk with him, so he ran in and picked one! It's not a particularly good horse, but it's okay.

Dian Wei was so excited that he gave Wang Xu a bear hug on the spot, and he was very happy. He has long wanted to have a horse, but he has never had the money to buy it, and he is very envious when he looks at others. Now that he has his own horse, he can't put it down, holding the reins tightly, and he is afraid that someone will snatch it away from him. Of course, in fact, no one dared to rob him, not to mention that he was tall and strong, just the two big iron halberds behind him discouraged many people. When he entered the city, he paid twice as much security tax on his weapon as Wang Xu and Xu Sheng combined.

Ke Dian Wei was happy, but Wang Xu fell into depression. Because after buying a horse, he suddenly found that he didn't seem to have a few strings of money in his pocket. Originally, Xu Shu prepared a big bag of five baht coins and two silver bricks for him, but he had never used money a few times in his life, so how could he have the concept of money! Along the way, he spent all his five baht money in a short time.

Half a month ago, a silver brick was replaced in Peiguodan County, but after the consumption of these days, there are only dozens of dollars left. As for the last silver brick, it was also just dedicated to the horse merchant. Although he was weighed according to the market price and given him more than 20 yuan, now the total belongings of the whole body are only 100 yuan, and there is still so much time to live in the future, where is this enough? It's impossible to let Dian Wei and Xu Sheng go to work to earn slowly, right? If that's the case, it is estimated that future generations will scold themselves with blood!

But looking at the shriveled money bag on his body, Wang Xu really had a headache, he hadn't thought about money for more than ten years, and now this long-lost sense of lack of money finally came up again! Because he was worried about money, Wang Xu simply didn't leave and found a cheaper inn to live in. After all, this problem has not been solved, and it is impossible to live in the wild forever in the future, hunting small animals every day for a living, then you will not become a savage?

Although Xu Sheng and Dian Wei also knew that the money was running out, the two of them had no idea, anyway, they had never worried about this matter from beginning to end. Only when Wang Xu occasionally passed by the stable, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the horses of the two, they would be very nervous and quickly block Wang Xu's sight.

Although he did have the idea of beating a horse, Wang Xu also understood that it was just drinking to quench his thirst. If you don't find a reliable source of income, you will still be poor sooner or later! But how can money be so easy to find, I stayed in this Shouchun for six whole days, tried my best, but did not find a feasible way to make money. Before he had time to regret the original waste, Wang Xu was already invited out of the inn by the store with a blue face, followed by Xu Sheng and Dian Wei, who were also embarrassed.

The three of them, who had nowhere to go, led their respective horses and began to wander aimlessly on the streets of Shouchun. And as time goes by, the stomach growls uncontrollably. Although Xu Sheng and Dian Wei didn't say anything, they both looked at Wang Xu with blank eyes, just waiting for him to figure out a way.

But Wang Xu himself was also very angry at this time, what could he do? After thinking about it irritably for a long time without any results, he couldn't help but ask indignantly: "Dian Wei, you said that you have traveled around, could it be that you were very rich before?" How come I didn't go far and the money was gone? ”

"How is that possible?" When Dian Wei heard this, he immediately shook his head again and again: "Where did an orphan like me get the money!" After my father died of illness, I relied on the help of neighbors to survive, and later I helped with some chores when I was a little stronger, so I barely survived! Even if the master took me up the mountain to learn art, I was self-sufficient, and I did everything I could eat. After the master returned to heaven, I sold all the surplus grain and things, and only exchanged it for more than 1,000 yuan. Since returning to Jiwu County, I have been doing chores at Liu's house, because I want to go outside to see, but I have also saved some money. But when I left my travels, I had only more than 2,000 dollars on me, less than a quarter of what you had. ”

"Oh? So how did you get by? Do you have enough money? ”

"It's not enough, I've been using it for a year and it's gone. Later, I stayed in Beihai, Qingzhou for a while, and saved some money for odd jobs before returning home. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly asked in shock: "You used more than 2,000 yuan for a year?" ”

"Hmm!" Nodding, Dian Wei pondered for a moment, but then said honestly: "But I didn't live well with the boss, I have big fish and meat every day, and I have good wine to drink and new clothes to wear." At that time, it would be nice to be able to buy low-quality liquor with a lot of water, let alone reward those shops as generously as you did! ”

It's okay that Dian Wei didn't mention it, but at this mention, Wang Xu's face was even more pale. Thinking about the money that flowed out, and then thinking about myself now wandering around with a hungry stomach, my heart is not an ordinary pain! After a long time, I finally couldn't help but sigh, and said secretly in my heart: I really don't know where those ancient heroes got the money, every time they make a move, they are gold ingots, silver ingots, and it seems that they have never worried about this. If you imitate it yourself, you will become this virtuous character, hey! It's better to be a bandit, you can rob your family......

Thinking of this, Wang Xu's eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Oops! I have a way to make money. ”

"What's the solution?" Hearing this, Xu Sheng, who had long been dizzy with hunger, suddenly asked urgently.

"That's robbership...... Well! No, it's robbing the rich and helping the poor! ”

"Robbing the rich and giving to the poor?" Looking at Wang Xu suspiciously, Xu Sheng couldn't help frowning and asked, "Lord!" This one...... What is the meaning? ”

Wang Xu, who thought of a way at this moment, was in a good mood, and he didn't hesitate, even if he smiled: "It's literal, robbing the kind of people who oppress the people and are very rich, and then use the money to help the poor, we can also leave a little bit by the way, trying to have food and clothing, isn't this killing two birds with one stone?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Dian Wei immediately nodded excitedly. "Good way! Good way! ”

But Xu Sheng was shocked and hurriedly stopped: "But isn't this a bandit?" My lord, how can we do such a dishonoring thing? ”

"Oh, Wen Xiang, what time is it now! Let's go, no one knows who I am now anyway, so why do you care so much! ”

"No, my lord! You are a person who has achieved great things, how can you do such things as stealing chickens and dogs? Saying that, Xu Sheng's face turned red, and he said without giving in: "This kind of thing really can't be done!" ”

Seeing Xu Sheng's reaction so violently, Wang Xu gradually fell silent. Only then did I think that Xu Sheng had received "higher education" in this era, so he was quite resistant to this kind of thing. If he does it forcibly, he is likely to disappoint Xu Sheng and feel that he is not a good lord. If you don't do it, where will you get the money now? Do you really want to do chores?

But isn't that a waste of time? After all, he had to return to the battlefield, and in addition to taking refuge, he also had another important purpose for traveling. That is to increase knowledge and experience, and it is best to make more friends with some heroes in the world. But if you spend your mind on these trivial things in life, wouldn't it be a waste of time? Time waits for no one......
