"So, you're my fiancé!"

"Uh-huh."

Xiao Youxiang is serious, but Yuanhuang is not serious.

"That's great, come back with me to see Dad today, right?"

"Not today, I have something."

It's just perfunctory, and it's really something.

Yuan Huang was not so stupid as naïve that he thought that a lame poor boy could marry a daughter. The aristocracy was the right one, and he knew the extent of the unforgettable. For the time being, I don't have the heart to think about anything other than becoming an archmage. At this time, Yuan Huang didn't know that the marriage contract was a trip to troubled waters related to Dai Xingquanli, otherwise he would have refused even harder.

It's just that he really can't understand why Xiao Yuxiang suddenly likes him. Probably there are a lot of aristocratic weirdos.

It has nothing to do with him anyway.

Xiao Youxiang was not too surprised by the fact that Yuan Huang's voice was borrowed from Sister Bed. She knew that Yuanhuang was born with an illusion-type spell-casting physique, and borrowing ready-made sounds and images was only the basis of illusion-type magic. It's just that this mask aroused her curiosity.

"Why are you wearing such a strange mask?" Xiao Yuxiang poked the mask with her jade finger, "Metallic? Did the bed sister give it? ”

This reminded Yuan Huang: "Almost." I'll get down to business. I'm your fiancé, I have something for you to do, should I be obedient? Otherwise, I won't love you. ”

Coaxing a little girl won't work, but Xiao Youxiang replied with a smile, "Of course".

"When I see this mask, I don't need to go into details. Either don't follow me, or don't call me by name and be a dumb person. ”

"Okay." Good certainly means the latter. If the Realm Palace was nowhere to be found today, she had a hunch that if she lost the Yuan Huang this time, she would never be able to find it again. I didn't even dare to ask, "Where did Sister Bed go?", for fear of arousing vigilance.

What else can you do after wearing a mask, hide your identity and do some bad things, right? Stealing? So curious! Xiao Youxiang was completely excited because she would soon be able to see interesting things.

Compared with Xiao Youxiang's exuberant emotions, Yuan Huang was lost to the trough. What kind of luck is this, why did she deliberately shift her position and hide, and she could still block the door? I can't get rid of it at all, do I owe her in my last life?

Chapter 3: First, you can't call him by name, at most he should be called "Sister Bed" instead; Second, you can't mention the heavenly palace, you can't mention the prophet, you can't mention the meteorite; Third, don't say a word at all.

"Okay."

Yuan Huang was completely desperate when he saw that Xiao Youxiang agreed so happily. She's going to talk nonsense, isn't she......

So far, there is no way to stop this eldest lady from going berserk except to kill people. But Yuanhuang really can't do it.

The two of them walked all the way and repeatedly told them to "keep it secret" and "okay" This kind of conversation will definitely be driven crazy if others are there.

Walk to the village.

It's been three years, and Yuanhuang has seen this village again, and it has changed a lot. Before I even stepped in, I saw that there were many buildings around the area that had been abandoned halfway through, like ruins. After walking in the village for five minutes, I saw less than ten passers-by in total. It can no longer be described as desolate. Considering the large areas of farmland that have not been cultivated for a long time outside the village, the population here is probably even smaller than expected.

It has nothing to do with him anyway. It's not his hometown or anything, he has no feelings, he just passed by three years ago.

Told Xiao Yuxiang again not to reveal his identity. The "good" answer is so crisp that it has no credibility at all. Flustered.

Straight to the main purpose - hire coolies to turn those "hand-cranked generators", estimated five. If there is more, there will be a risk of leaking secrets, and if there is no bed, there will be a lack of energy.

In the village, near a square-like place, a dozen people gathered around a campfire.

More than Yuan Huang expected.

According to the custom of Starfall Continent, people waiting to be hired will be in a daze near the square, whether it is other villages or towns. He was worried that the village would be so desolate that there wouldn't be enough people.

He took a deep breath.

Let's go.

Walked to the campfire in the square, which also attracted the attention of the group. Most of them were ragged and emaciated guys, and a few odd guys who looked well fed and clothed, as well as women. It's normal for down-and-out people to seek employment, but those well-dressed people are probably hiding here because they are in some trouble, and ordinary employers don't choose such guys. As for women...... If you are really down compared to coolies, shouldn't you go to other more lucrative jobs?

Walking to the front, several people stood up and stared into Yuan Huang's eyes.

and money bags.

Yuan Huang took out five gold coins and spread them in the palm of his hand, and said in a female voice through the mask: "I need five coolies, and the work content is very simple, no different from pushing a grinding plate. The workload is intensive, and you have to push for at least ten hours a day, and you have to eat and live. ”

Before he finished speaking, there was a small discussion.

"Work for me for at least a month. One gold coin per month. ”

A monthly salary? Hearing this, they all stirred. More than a dozen people all exchanged heads and talked about it. Yuan Huang heard a few words at the tip of his ear, "Isn't it a dangerous job?" "The slave catcher's liar?" "I don't dare to go" and so on. High salaries have the opposite effect.

An acre of land can sell less than a single gold coin for a year's crops.

A month, is the expectation that Yuan Huang asked Sister Bed this morning. If five people turn the hand-cranked generator for ten hours a day, it will take about a week to dive underground again and move the location.

"It's true that the salary is a bit high, because it includes hush money." Yuan Huang waved his hand to signal them to be quiet, "Because you need to be strictly controlled in and out of my ...... dwelling, until a month later. During this time, if you wander around out of curiosity, and if you look at things you shouldn't see, listen to things you shouldn't hear, or say things you shouldn't say after you leave, you will die. ”

The crowd was dumbfounded.

They exchanged glances.

None of them stood up and accepted the offer.

To be honest, this surprised Yuan Huang quite a bit. He didn't want to lie about something boring, so he told the truth. He may have underestimated these sloppy people too much, and thought that he would not care much about money because of them.

Of course, he didn't know what these people were thinking.

The eccentric female mage in the mask demands absolute secrecy. How to keep it confidential? Only the dead do not speak. The reason why the salary is so high is that the masked female mage never planned to really pay, and killing all people was the original plan. They won't go.

Especially with the recent prevalence of human trafficking, all of whom have been tricked into going to northern towns and become slaves who are worse than dead. Of course, Yuan Huang didn't know about this. Although there have always been newspapers peeking at the Prophet, scandals are not written on the surface.

"It's weird." He scratched his head, thinking that anyway, Qian Duo was in a hurry to employ people at the moment, so he changed his words and said, "Two gold coins a month, I only need five people, hurry up." ”

No one dared to go. They are convinced that they will never live to get the money. The "five" and "five" people have always been the amount set by the partner who bought the slaves on the other side, right?

After waiting for a long time, no one agreed. This is really beyond Yuan Huang's expectations, it is his concept that money can make ghosts grind, what the hell is the current situation?

Xiao Youxiang was uncomfortable smiling beside her.

"You laugh, do you know why?"

She waved her hand again and again: "How is it possible, are you suspecting that I am the ghost?" ”

“……”

"People are hungry." She pointed to the inn next to the square and said, "I've been running for a long time, and I've run out of breakfast." Invite me to dinner as compensation. ”

Yuan Huang sighed. left a sentence for everyone, "Think about it carefully, the monthly salary is 2 gold, I'll come back in a while" and then went to the inn next to it with Xiao Youxiang.
