Chapter 24 First Arrival in Yangzhou
At noon the next day, with the unremitting efforts of his two legs, Lin Yuanzheng finally came to Yangzhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as he arrived in Yangzhou, he realized how stupid he was.
At that time, Yangzhou was really a state - one of the thirteen states under heaven, with jurisdiction over Jian'an, Wu, Huiji, Lujiang, Poyang, Danyang and other regions - not the later Yangzhou City!
But he clearly remembered that the girl said that she was in Yangzhou City.
The place where he is now is called Shouchun to be precise, and it was the seat of Yangzhou at that time.
Shouchun is a big city, the city is high and the pond is deep, and it was the capital of Chu during the Warring States period.
Now there are at least more than 200,000 players and NPCs in the entire Shouchun. It is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack to find a person whose name he doesn't know and who doesn't have a particularly deep impression among the more than 200,000 people!
Lin Yuanzheng gasped.
However, he didn't come to Yangzhou entirely for the goblin girl, and quickly adjusted his mentality.
Xinghuo Liaoyuan seems to be very familiar with Shouchun, as soon as he entered the city, he first found a restaurant, ordered a large table of dishes, chicken, duck and fish, and the two of them opened their appetites and swept away the remnants of the clouds, and they actually solved it cleanly.
After eating, we started to get down to business. Spark took him to the east of the city to find a merchant, and then sold the treasure bag of loot to the buyer. Don't look at the small inside of the treasure bag, but there are a lot of things that can be contained in it, Lin Yuanzheng is dizzying. When the bag is emptied and the things are sold, there will be more than three hundred and twenty-six taels of silver after the tax deduction.
"Some of the common gains from fighting monsters can be sold directly to NPC buyers, of course, if you are patient, you can wait for the evening to go to the black market in the west of the city to set up your own stall. It's just that I'm not in the mood for bargaining. Spark Liaoyuan told Lin Yuanzheng.
After selling the loot, Spark Liaoyuan took Lin Yuanzheng to the artisan area in the south of the city. Shouchun is worthy of being a big city, the blacksmith shops here are lined up in a long street, some specialize in selling swords, some specialize in selling armor, some specialize in selling bows and arrows, and some sell household utensils, some apprentices stand at the door of the shop and loudly solicit business, all kinds of shouting and the sound of striking iron one after another fill the whole street.
However, Spark Prairie did not seem to be interested in the spacious, well-stocked blacksmith shops, so he first went around to Front Street to buy a jar of old wine, and then went straight to a nondescript looking dilapidated house at the end of Blacksmith Street.
"Xinghuo, you kid hasn't been here for a long time."
An old man with a messy beard and a thin look stretched his waist and yawned, but as soon as he saw the old wine that Xinghuo was holding, his eyes immediately lit up, and he rushed up to snatch the wine in two steps, and couldn't wait to open the lid and take two sips directly at the wine jar.
"The taste of this old wine is also good, but unfortunately it is still much worse than the Lanling tribute wine I drank back then. Tell me, what do you want me to do this time? "The old blacksmith was disheveled and sloppy, but he was very picky about drinking.
"Mr. Chunyu, I came here this time to ask you to make a pair of armor for me." Spark Liaoyuan's tone was quite respectful and polite, and he took out a pair of animal scale armor from the treasure bag.
"Demon Scales!" The foundry immediately recognized it, and immediately snatched the scale armor away as soon as he put the wine jar away, and his two hands excitedly stroked back and forth on the scale armor, "This demon is at least three hundred years old, otherwise it won't grow such a good leather armor." ”
However, he soon realized something, and put the scale armor on a low table: "Five hundred taels of silver!" If you have one or two less, you will go to someone else. ”
"Mr. Chunyu, can't you give a little more discount for the sake of this old wine? We're all old acquaintances. Spark Blaze smiled and began to bargain.
"I only charge you five hundred taels for the sake of old acquaintances, and at least eight hundred taels of silver for others! Eight hundred taels depends on my mood. The foundry blinked, his head flicked, and his beard cocked. If it weren't for Lin Yuanzheng who was used to seeing NPCs in this world, he would definitely treat him as a real person.
"Okay then, when are you going to come and get it?" Spark Prairie gave up the counteroffer and moved on to the next question.
"Two months later."
"Can you do it in a month?"
"Yes, but the fee is doubled."
"Eight hundred taels."
"Okay, eight hundred is eight hundred, deal. Pay a deposit of 300 taels in advance. ”
"Okay."
Xinghuo Liaoyuan seemed to hate the bargaining of his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and directly settled the matter, Lin Yuanzheng felt sorry for him when he watched from the side, but fortunately, Xinghuo looked quite generous and didn't care much about the silver.
The two of them got out of the blacksmith shop, and before they could get out of the street, they saw seven or eight people suddenly appear in front of them, blocking the road.
"Sparks in the prairie fire, you guy is really a dragon who can't see the end of the dragon, let's find it so hard! What do you think? Come with us, we've been waiting for you for a long time. The man at the head was very tall, and held a long stick with spikes at both ends. He opened his chest, revealing the thick black hair on his chest, and looked like he was flowing with air.
"Howling Beast, I don't know what kind of holiday I had with your gang?" Spark Liaoyuan asked coldly, while quickly glancing behind him vigilantly.
I don't know when fifteen or sixteen people came, and they had already surrounded him and Lin Yuanzheng. This group of people all had weapons in their hands, and it seemed that it would be quite difficult to retreat with their whole body, especially since there was a Lin Yuanzheng who didn't know any martial arts at all.
"Oh, don't be so angry, you also know that we don't actually have malicious intentions, it's just that the helper wants to invite you to tea, you won't even give this face." The Howling Beast said with a big grin, the big stick in his hand slapped the palm of the other hand, as if the two of them were already in the bag.
"The spark is burning in the prairies, we help the master invite you to drink tea, you can afford you!"
"Sparks, don't fucking shame!"
"Sparks in the prairie fire, if you dare to offend us [Love and Righteousness] in the future, don't want to continue to mix in Shouchun!"
"Shut up! What are you all talking nonsense! The Howling Sky Beast suddenly shouted at the shouting gangsters, "The Spark is now our guest of the world, do you know what you're talking about!" ”
Those gangs were all happily scolding one by one, but they were splashed with cold water by such a scoop of cold water from the Howling Sky Beast, and they drooped their heads one by one and didn't dare to squeak again.
"What if I say I don't want to go?" Spark Liaoyuan, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"Haha, I said, our helper just wants to treat you to a cup of tea. For the sake of us deliberately sending so many brothers to invite us, we have to give us a face no matter what. The Howling Beast scratched the black fur on its chest and said loudly.
Spark Liaoyuan thought about it and nodded in agreement. Lin Yuanzheng's heart was pounding, and he quietly sweated for the spark.
So the two were "invited" to a teahouse surrounded by more than 20 gangs of swords, guns and sticks in the [Love and Righteousness World].
The imaginary scene did not appear, to be precise, it was not a teahouse, but a small shed selling large bowls of tea outside the teahouse, and a scholar who looked white and clean was sitting there and gulping tea.
"Haha, Starfire! You're finally here! Boss, another bowl of tea, oh, not two. As soon as the man dressed as a scholar saw the spark, he immediately greeted him warmly, as if the spark was an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
However, Spark stood there motionless.
"I don't know you."
This is Xinghuo's first sentence, it seems that Xinghuo's emotional intelligence is really worrying.
"Haha, Starfire! You are really a noble person, how forgetful! We met last year and forgot? Martial arts tournament! I'm an amorous scholar! The amorous scholar had a smile on his face, and he didn't care about Xinghuo's offensive words.
"What the hell are you looking for from me?" Xinghuo put on a paralyzed face, talked quickly, and went straight to the point.
"Look at you, look at what the two of us are still doing outside!" The amorous scholar's face was still full of enthusiasm, "Actually, I invited you here this time so that I can join you in a big event." We [Love and Righteousness] are just lacking a deputy helper now, I want to come and go, think about it, I think only brother Xinghuo is the most suitable for you, don't shirk it! Otherwise, I'm going to be angry as a brother! ”
"I'm not interested in gangs."
The words of such ignorance of current affairs suddenly poured out the enthusiasm of the amorous scholar by seven or eight points.
"Tut-tut, what do you want me to say, wow, this world is not a world of one person, and personal heroism is unacceptable! Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high! Unity is strength! Brother, why don't you open your mind? Such a simple truth, do you still want to be my brother, let me tell you? Let's brothers work together, and when the time comes, we will eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl! The amorous scholar continued to persuade bitterly.
"I'm not interested in big mouthfuls of meat and big bowls of wine, and I'm even less interested in the gang." The spark is still dead and can't be pricked by a needle and splashed by water.
"So you're toasting and not eating?" The amorous scholar "brother" can't do it, and the enthusiasm will be cold immediately, and it will be cold through the heart! As soon as he was cold, his face immediately turned into a 10,000-year-old iceberg.
"What is a penalty for drinking?"
The spark is not only paralyzed, but also the IQ is beginning to worry.
"Less garlic!" The amorous scholar snorted coldly, "If you don't join our gang, there is only one way: you promise not to participate in this year's martial arts competition!" ”
"What does this have to do with you?" Starfire was puzzled.
The amorous scholar's face suddenly turned red, like a pig's bladder full of air.
"Damn, Lao Tzu was defeated by you last year, and you still pretend to be garlic! If it weren't for you, Lao Tzu would be one of the top ten masters in Yangzhou now! Damn, become one of the top ten masters, and you will have one hundred and fifty taels of silver every month! That's 1,800 taels a year! And how many NPC quest rewards! If you don't join us, you can go back to the novice village to resurrect today! ”
Wow, Spark Liaoyuan is actually one of the top ten masters in Yangzhou!
I can't see it at all, it's too low-key!
Lin Yuanzheng couldn't help but take a new look at the sparkling prairie again, what a human being is really unseemly!
"Oh, I just remember that last year I defeated a man called the Desperate Scholar, did he not only change his name, but also did a plastic surgery?" The spark finally remembered.
The words of the spark were too cruel, and they poked the other party's sore spot at once, so the amorous scholar immediately shouted like a pig: "Brothers, give it to me!" Shoot him! Fight to the death! ”
As soon as the more than twenty gang members heard the order, the guys in their hands immediately and unceremoniously beckoned to the Spark Liaoyuan and Lin Yuanzheng one after another.
The situation on the scene was chaotic.
In the chaos, Lin Yuanzheng remembered the plot in the movie, and immediately weakened his legs and fell to the ground, actually letting him crawl out of the feet of some dense people - fortunately, the attention of those gangs was on the spark.
But Spark Prairie is not so lucky.
What are the shooters most afraid of?
Of course, I'm afraid of being close. As soon as he was close, the power he could exert was immediately reduced by seven or eighty percent.
Since there were people in front of him and left and right at the beginning, his bow was only half taken out from behind him, and the amorous scholar reacted quite quickly, and immediately smashed the tea bowl in his hand as a hidden weapon when he saw this.
So the spark flashed sideways.
This sideways dodge misses the best opportunity to make the bow.
All kinds of knives, guns and sticks immediately came from all directions, and in the confusion, I don't know how many times he was hit on his body, but fortunately, he seemed to be wearing some kind of soft armor or something on his body, although he was injured in many places, but he still carried it.
"Get out of the way, look at my wolf tooth stick!" Seeing that the Spark Flame's body was about to fall, the Howling Sky Beast immediately drank away from the little brothers and slashed it with a stick.
Seeing that the Spark Burning Plains' head was about to bloom, suddenly the Spark Burning Plains turned around, not only avoiding this stick, but also quickly circling to the side of the Howling Sky Beast. Everyone only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and before they could see the process clearly, the Howling Sky Beast had already been grabbed by the Spark and carried it on its back as a shield and rushed to the side.
"Brothers, don't mess around, hit me! Brothers, be careful! The Howling Sky Beast didn't expect that he would be so unlucky, seeing that many of the little brothers' weapons fell on him, and at this time, he didn't care about the overall strategic situation of the helper, so he shouted loudly.
The amorous scholar snorted coldly with a dark face, and the soft sword under his waist went out of his body, and immediately turned into an incomparably fast flying snake and pounced on the back of the spark.
Anyway, he is also the eleventh master in Yangzhou!
This move almost condenses all his swordsmanship attainments, three words: fast, accurate, ruthless!
"Whew-"
With a heavy human shield on his back, and people in front of and behind him, Spark Rebellion finally couldn't dodge this move, and was pierced into the lower ribs by the soft sword of the amorous scholar, and a stream of blood spurted out from under the ribs!
The amorous scholar was overjoyed, and the soft sword in his hand was going to be stabbed deeper; It's just that his slightly sluggish kung fu has already pulled out an arrow from behind and plunged it directly into his back.
"Wow, I'm not reconciled!" The amorous scholar stared at the spark with wide eyes, but he didn't expect him to return to the novice village before the spark to resurrect.
However, the spark was not much better, the counterattack just now had almost exhausted his strength, and he could only lie on the ground and pant hard, his chest rising and falling violently, like a fish waiting to die.
The Howling Beast, which had finally freed himself from his back, picked up his mace from the side, shook it, and slammed it down.
