The next day, as soon as He Shuai went online, Xing Idiot reported to him the news that several gangs had disappeared into Floating Maple City overnight. He Shuai didn't have much surprise after hearing this, just chuckled.

"Big brother, why are you laughing?" The idiot asked, and the alliance system established overnight collapsed in an instant.

He Shuai pointed to the low-level players in front of him and said with a smile: "If Chengtian and them are still struggling in Piaofeng City, I will look down on them." On the contrary, their disappearance today is burdened with humiliation for the sake of another day's showdown, and such an enemy is worthy of respect. It's also the Chengtian I know! ”

"That's right." The idiot nodded, as if he didn't understand.

"Let's go, idiot brother, you can accompany me to visit Floating Maple City today." He Shuai greeted the idiot and said, "I've been the city lord for so long, and I really don't know much about the entire city." Liu Peng went out to buy overseas, and we were idle. ”

"Okay, it just so happens that Caicai and they are also busy with work, so let's go shopping." The idiot also ended up being idle and accompanied by Heshuai.

The two of them first walked around the merchant street in the northeast corner of the city, but did not find any goods worth selling to Burning Snow City, and then came to the west of the city.

"Hey, why are there so many people over there?" He Shuai saw a group of people, who were smiling and asking around a very large shop.

"It doesn't seem to be open yet, and I don't know what to do." The idiot also said curiously, "Big brother, you see that there are many players among them." "Along the fingers of the idiot, you can vaguely see many players mixed with the people.

As he spoke, the door of the shop opened, and two men walked out.

One of the men hung a large flag in his hand on a pole in front of the door, and wrote a big 'beat' on it. Another guy rang the gong in his hand and shouted, "Yo, this master, come in and try your luck?" A few taels of silver can't make me rich, and I can't make you poor? If you find a treasure, you will eat it for the rest of your life! ”

In fact, there is no need to shout, many people and players have already entered the auction house under the guidance of the guys.

"Big brother, it seems to be an auction house here?" The idiot rubbed his hands together and laughed, "However, it seems to be a bit of a gambling nature." ”

He Shuai nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look, after all, it's also my merchant in Piaofeng City." Saying that, both of them hid the honorary title above their heads and walked towards the auction.

"Yo, Brother Zhu, you're here again, please come inside, please inside!" A guy saw a person dangling in front of the auction house and hurriedly greeted him.

This son, surnamed Zhu, was wearing a satin robe, with an ancient jade pendant around his waist, and a folding fan in his hand, and was hesitating in the face of his man's courteous greeting.

He Shuai glanced at the idiot, walked over and deliberately touched Zhu Gongzi, and without waiting for the other party to attack, he took the first step and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Yo, this isn't Zhu Gongzi, why don't you go in and play two. ”

Seeing that the other party was also extraordinary, the son-in-law surnamed Zhu arched his hand and sighed and said, "Hey, the son-in-law is fine." Then he turned around and was about to leave.

He Shuai chased after him for two steps and asked, "What's the matter, Zhu Gongzi has not been in good luck lately?" ”

"I'm not afraid of brothers' jokes, don't hide from brothers, in just a few days, I've lost nearly a thousand taels of gold, just blame my poor eyesight. Hey, there's no more to press. Kena, how to go to Beijing to take the exam. Zhu Gongzi couldn't help sighing when he talked about it.

"Hehe, this auction house must also be turbulent, mixed with fish and dragons, and it is inevitable to look away. How can there be a treasure that can be eaten for a lifetime. He Shuai smiled, seeing that Zhu Gongzi was depressed and said, "Dare to ask Zhu Gongzi, the name of the honorable surname?" ”

"The younger brother's surname is Zhu Maolin, don't you want to ask the name of the elder brother?" Zhu Maolin saw that He Shuai was very kind, and said politely.

When He Shuai heard this name, he was happy in his heart and smiled: "My family's surname is He, and my single name is a handsome word." If Brother Maolin doesn't dislike it, the younger brother is willing to fund a thousand taels of gold to help Brother Maolin take the entrance examination in Beijing. ”

Before Zhu Maolin could recover from his surprise, He Shuai was pulled aside by the idiot, and the latter said in a low voice: "Big brother, why do we want to give him a thousand taels of gold if we don't know each other?" "The idiot is worried that there will be no return, and the money is wasted.

He Shuai looked at Zhu Maolin not far away, and asked with a smile: "You haven't heard his name?" ”

The idiot shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." ”

"Then you should have heard of Zhu Wen, right?" He Shuai asked again.

"Big brother, are you talking about Houliang Taizu? In his early years, he participated in the Huangchao Uprising, broke away from the Huangchao Daqi regime and returned to the Tang Dynasty, and was given the name Zhu Quanzhong by the Tang court, and changed his name to Zhu Huang after usurping Tang Jianliang. The idiot asked in disbelief, "Could it be that he is Zhu Wen when he was a teenager?" ”

He Shuai nodded and shook his head, and said, "If there is no such person, there will be no future Zhu Wen, because Zhu Maolin is Zhu Wen's great-grandfather." ”

"Really? I really don't know this history? The idiot smiled awkwardly.

"It's not your fault, there are very few introductions to Zhu Maolin in history, and I also saw it from the record of an ancient book in the family." He Shuai shrugged his shoulders and said, "This time, he won the top three in the Beijing entrance examination, and he was exceptionally promoted to the middle school squire by Tang Muzong, and he was the fourth rank in the official residence. Although it is not a big official, it will be of great help to us in the future, and such an opportunity should not be missed. ”

The idiot nodded hurriedly, secretly admiring the eldest brother's far-sightedness, and Shuai returned to Zhu Maolin's side and took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels of gold and handed it over: "Brother Zhu, take it to Beijing to take the exam with peace of mind, this time you will definitely be on the high school emperor list and glorify your ancestors." ”

Zhu Maolin looked at the silver ticket with white flowers, and his eyes suddenly turned green, but the character of the scholar stopped his desire, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother, we meet in Pingshui, how can the younger brother dare to accept such a gift from you?" I can't help it. ”

"Take it, if I am lucky enough to go to Chang'an in the future, Brother Zhu will invite me to have a drink." As he spoke, He Shuai had already stuffed the silver ticket in his hand into Zhu Maolin's pocket.

Zhu Maolin really needed this money to take the exam, and he no longer shirked it, and was busy kneeling down and saluting: "Brother He, he is the benefactor of my Zhu family!" The benefactor is on the top, please accept the little brother's worship! ”

He Shuai hurriedly helped him up to learn his tone, and said: "Brother Zhu, this is absolutely unacceptable, everyone is a scholar, he Brother Zhu is in high school, and we will meet friends with wine." As soon as the words fell, He Shuai and the idiot both received the hidden task of helping the down-and-out scholar, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Zhu Maolin nodded heavily and said, "The great kindness of Brother He, the younger brother remembers it in his heart. If I am lucky enough to go to high school one day, I will repay my brother's great kindness. ”

"Hehe, Brother Zhu hurry up and set off, don't spend these silver taels indiscriminately this time." He Shuai patted Zhu Maolin's shoulder and smiled.

"No, it won't!" Zhu Maolin said a few more words to the two of them, and then rushed to the inn where he was staying.

Watching Zhu Maolin disappear into the crowd, he smiled and said, "I really didn't expect to receive a hidden mission, the true value of this thousand taels of golden flowers." ”

He Shuai also opened the task interface and inquired about the content of the task, and found that there were only hints to get a lot of experience and money, and there was no explanation of how to complete the task and turn in the task.
