He whistled happily, then put the money in his pocket and walked to the exit of the alley.

As for the kidnapped girl...... Is it because of some economic dispute? Since the man was so generous, it seemed that he was just reluctant to pay that ransom. When the time comes, I don't show up...... Hehehehehe, he can only pay obediently.

Money, money, is used for use. Don't be too stingy. He pretended to comfort himself a few words in his heart, stretched, and began to think about where to go for a while.

Then a figure suddenly jumped down from the roof of a nearby house and landed in front of him, splashing a large snowflake.

The young man was taken aback, and looked fixedly: the person who came was not very old...... Even smaller than myself. With a broken haircut and a black trench coat, he stared at himself coldly.

Not...... Caught up in a robbery? Rob me? He was happy in his heart.

However, the next sentence of the other party made him unhappy: "You are a Seraph?" ”

The visitor squinted, his face full of banter and mockery, and his hands in his pockets, as if he had just asked, "What time is it?"

He was slightly startled - he had heard the conversation with the man earlier? What's the matter with this guy? He looked at the other party a few more times, and suddenly realized that this was not ...... Then walked into the restaurant and asked for two drawers of steamed buns?

But the other party didn't wait for him to answer, and had already taken a step further: "What did he tell you on the phone just now?" ”

The young man couldn't help but step back with this step. Then he smiled: "Friends are also capable people?" Short of money? It's just right, we'll meet half, I'm ...... here."

However, the other party grabbed him by the collar, and an incredible force came from his arm, lifting him alive and pressing him against the red brick wall next to him. The previous banter was gone, replaced by an angry sè on his face: "Say! ”

This bump knocked all his next words into his mouth. He secretly screamed in his heart: It's not good......

Such a large amount of force...... I also know that there is such a thing as a "Seraph", what else can it be if it is not an ability? - It still seems that he is much better than himself.

So he hurriedly spread out his hand and squeezed out a smile on his face: "My name is Yu Ziqing, what do you call my brother?" You see, I told you all my real names...... How about putting me down first? Don't be so angry......"

However, the other party did not buy his account: "Listen, I'm going to save people." It is to save the daughter of the man you have deceived. Now you're stalling with me—if I arrive later and find out I'm late......" The last word, he squeezed out between his teeth. The expression on his handsome face was hideous and distorted, as if he was going to strangle him here in the next moment.

With this sentence, Yu Ziqing heard a subtle, dense, popping bean-like crisp sound from under his neck.

He struggled to look down, then gasped and stunned......

The hand that grabbed his collar ...... It was covered with a layer of genuine white scales with a cold glow at the edges!

He blinked, making sure he wasn't mistaken, before he said, "You...... You are...... You ......"

"Say!" The other man roared in his ear again.

So he immediately poured beans like a bamboo tube: "He just called me and said that he had made an appointment to meet those people in a place, and asked me to go with him to rescue his daughter while they were not paying attention——"

The young man glared at him viciously before he let go of his hand. Yu Ziqing fell from the wall, first gasped a few times, and then squeezed out a smile with all his might: "Ah...... Since you are the one who came out in person, then I will ...... I'll just ......"

As he spoke, he slipped down the corner of the wall towards the mouth of the alley. However, the other party grabbed him by the neck: "You will go with him as he said." ”

Yu Ziqing cried with a sad face: "I'll go?" If there is a fight......"

"Aren't you also a capable person?" The other party snorted coldly, "Your hands full of scales and light are fake?" ”

Yu Ziqing felt that she was about to cry: "My light ...... Do you know the firefly boss? ”

"Where's the scales?"

"Don't insects have little scales on their wings? I'm useless......! He folded his hands and bowed, "Boss, you can do it - spare me, I just want to cheat a few people to spend it." ”

However, the other party pushed him: "Don't talk nonsense, follow me!" ”

Fifteen minutes later, Li Zhen walked into a dress shop with Yu Ziqing.

It was 8:50 p.m., and the shopkeeper was closing. But Li Zhen took out two ten-yuan gold yuan from Yu Ziqing's pocket and stuffed them to the shopkeeper: "We have urgent matters, you can be accommodating." ”

I got the money for nothing...... Then it doesn't matter if it's a few minutes at night. So the shopkeeper reopened the lock on the glass door, welcomed the two men in, and asked, "Would you like a dress or a suit?" ”

Li Zhen strode in: "Let's take a look at the Yi Dao." ”

When it comes to ceremonial dresses, suits, and ceremonial knives, we have to talk about the history of the empire.

Hundreds of years ago, the Empire was one of the most powerful nations in the world. However, with the rapid development of science and technology in the Western world and the advent of the Age of Discovery, the proud empire people found that the civilization they were proud of had gradually lagged behind the world world.

At the beginning of the 16th century, the British, Dutch, and French East India Companies were established one after another, and expeditionary fleets also arrived off the coast of China, and the Dutch also occupied Taiwan for a time. Such an international situation made the emperor at that time soberly aware that if China continued to follow the old path, it would soon lose its position as the hegemon of East Asia.

In the period that followed, the empire undertook a series of reforms—some failed, some succeeded. But in any case, in the end, the empire accepted the advanced scientific ideas of the West, and set off a "Westernization movement".

The foreign affairs movement indirectly promoted the development of private capital and brought Western customs and concepts into the Chinese mainland. Many wealthy merchants wore Westerner dresses, and because of the westerly winds, these exotic costumes soon became popular throughout China.

However, the scholarly class believed that this might cause the Chinese to lose their traditional culture, so they later enacted a law on clothing.

The law states that people should wear "ceremonial attire" on formal, high-profile occasions. The so-called ceremonial costumes are today considered to be improved and more suitable for the industrial age that will come later.

The cuffs were narrowed, the hem was shortened, the clothes were changed, and the characteristics of Western-style formal wear were absorbed, so that the dress became more suitable on the basis of retaining the style of ancient costumes.

In order not to make people lose their fighting spirit and blood in the increasingly comfortable life, in addition, following the Tang system, it is stipulated that when wearing ceremonial clothes, they must also wear "ritual knives".

However, this ritual knife is not a ritual knife of the Tang Dynasty, but a "ritual knife" about three feet long, cast iron and silver-plated, similar to a "Tang knife".

Even though the times have developed to this day, the regulations of the feudal era have lost their legal effect, and this custom has survived.

Therefore, in the dress shop, the dress is divided into two categories - "dress" and "suit".

And what Li Zhen wants is the "ritual knife" sold here. ================================
