Volume I, Chapter XVIII Transactions

Chapter XVIII

Feng Buping had been enjoying everyone's praise and flattery all night, while Ma Xie had gone to bed early, and he had to continue to hurry tomorrow to find his master.

The next day, Ma Xie got up early in the morning, and when he went downstairs to the hall, he found that a large number of high-rollers had already been drunk, but only the figure of the seal was not seen.

"Shaoxia, Shaoxia, you got up really early!" Xiao Er saw Ma Xie get up, and hurriedly greeted him: "Feng Daxia is really a wonder man in the world, the amount of alcohol is like a sea, and one person actually drank so many people!"

"What about the others?" asked Ma Xie.

"Feng Daxia still has to hurry to the east, I heard that there is a stream of bandits there recently, Feng Daxia is going to clean them up. Xiao Er replied.

"Oh. Ma Xie didn't believe Feng Buping's words, he had other things on his mind, and walked out the door.

Seeing this, Xiao Er hurriedly grabbed Ma Xie, Ma Xie didn't understand what Xiao Er was doing?

"Shaoxia is joking, isn't it, you haven't settled your account with Feng Daxia yet!" Xiao Er said a little panicked, he was really afraid that he would anger this young man who was with Feng Buping, and end up with a broken hand and foot.

Ma Xie then remembered that Feng Buping did let him settle the bill last night, and he didn't refute it, after all, he thought there was only one table of food at that time.

He only had a few pieces of silver from his master, and he thought that one meal would be enough, but who would have thought that he would invite so many people to dinner. But Ma Xie didn't have such a cheekiness as Feng Buping after all, he scratched his head and said, "Can you ...... Can you take credit?"

Xiao Er jumped up anxiously, perhaps because he was in a hurry, or maybe because he saw that Ma Xie was not as powerful as Feng Buping, and pointed to Ma Xie's nose and said: "Do you still want to eat the overlord meal? Who doesn't know that you people in the rivers and lakes have your home from all over the world, and who knows how many lifetimes you will have to go before you can come back! You will bully us ordinary people!"

Ma Xie suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he thought for a while and said, "I only have a few taels of silver, which is enough for the drunken duck I eat!"

Xiao Er was about to cry: "My boss knows that he has to kill me!"

Just when Ma Xie was in danger, a person suddenly walked in at the door and said, "This account should be counted on the old man's head!" Ma Xie looked back and saw that it was a fat man with a big belly, who looked like a wealthy man.

"It turned out to be Master Yuan, what should Master Yuan eat?" Xiao Er immediately changed his face.

That Master Yuan bowed his hand and said to Ma Xie: "The account of the young man is calculated on my body, I don't know if the young man can reward the face of the old man?"

Ma Xie saw that someone was helping him to relieve the siege, and he was definitely willing, and sure enough, there were still many good people in the world. Then Master Yuan said to Xiao Er: "This Ma Shaoxia is my honored guest, but what you said just now was directed at me?"

Where did Xiao Er offend this kind of person, he quickly slapped himself a few big mouths, and apologized to Ma Xie again and again, this time Ma Xie was even more embarrassed, he quickly stopped Xiao Er, after all, he had no money, no wonder others.

Master Yuan snorted proudly, and then invited Ma Xie to sit in his home.

Ma Xie didn't know what medicine was bought in this old man Yuan's gourd, but he had received the favor of others, and it was difficult to refuse, so he could only leave with Master Yuan.

Master Yuan is a big family in this town, and he lives in the easternmost part of the town, in the largest house in the town. Although it is not as good as the City Lord's Mansion, it can be regarded as a "mansion".

Ma Xie was warmly welcomed by Master Yuan and him, which made Ma Xie muttered in his heart: "What does this Yuan City Lord mean." ”

City Lord Yuan greeted him with a courteous face, and said, "I don't know where that Feng Daxia is yesterday?"

When he mentioned Feng Buping, Ma Xie was angry, but he still told Yuan City Lord that Feng Buping had left, could it be that this Yuan Master was looking for Feng Buping?

But when he heard this, not only was he not disappointed, but his face was happy, and he continued to be close to Ma Xie.

"I don't know who that hero is from Shaoxia? Master? Presumably Shaoxia is also a good kung fu. Master Yuan said expectantly.

Ma Xie shook his head: "My master has someone else, as for martial arts, I might as well seal it." I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person. ”

"How is that compared to the old man yesterday?" Master Yuan naturally referred to the old man who was sealed and broke his arm with internal force.

Ma Xie thought for a while and said, "I don't know what martial arts that old man is, but he is definitely not my opponent. "This is not Ma Xie's boasting, with the martial arts of Ma Xie's innate realm, I am afraid that there are few martial artists in this world who are his opponents.

That Master Yuan's face flushed with excitement, and he nodded, as if he was talking to himself: "Yes, yes, I can see at a glance that the young man is extraordinary." ”

Ma Xie was even more puzzled in his heart, and asked: "I don't know what Master Yuan is looking for me, I have received the grace of the master, as long as it is not against the morality of the rivers and lakes, I Ma Xie will definitely help me." ”

When Master Yuan saw Ma Xie say this, he thought for a while, put on a flattering smile and said: "The old man is old, and he rented a few acres of thin land to a few tenants, and lived by collecting rent. There is a tenant who owes me some food and money since last year, and I want to ask Shaoxia to ask for it for me. ”

"It's only natural to pay off debts, you can go generously in this matter, why are you looking for me?" Ma Xie asked.

That Master Yuan told the truth, it turned out that the tenant had also practiced martial arts for several years, and every time Master Yuan asked someone to ask for an account, he was beaten back. In the past few days, so many people in the rivers and lakes have suddenly gathered, and Master Yuan wants to find a chivalrous man to collect rent for him, but these people are all unruly, and Master Yuan has been looking for a few days in the hotel before he finds such a suitable candidate as Ma Xie.

Ma Xie didn't want to agree to this, although he had only been in the world for less than a year, but he also knew that some people who were called "landlords" lived by oppressing the poor, if he didn't have martial arts, if he had lived in a small village in the Jin Kingdom since he was a child, he would definitely work for the landlord's family, just like the "cattle herding baby" in those stories that Qi Nanfeng told him, every time he thought of this, Ma Xie was really glad that the white ape gave him a martial arts, so that at least he didn't have to live such a life.

But now that he owes Master Yuan a favor, and this Master Yuan is not inferior to Feng Buping's lip service, Ma Xie really couldn't resist, and suddenly he thought of an excuse: "Master Yuan, I must help with this favor, but now that the family teacher is missing, I have to find my master first, and when I find my master, I will definitely come back to help you, okay?"

When Master Yuan heard this, his eyes rolled and he said, "Is it the white-clothed swordsman that Shaoxia inquired about yesterday? I know where he is!"

"Where?" asked Ma Xie excitedly.

"Hey...... I heard from one of my bankers a few days ago that there was a white-clothed swordsman who chased three young masters all the way, and as for where he went, he asked the young man to help me with this little favor, and I will give you the news of your master. ”

Ma Xie could only nod his head in agreement.

This old man Yuan is shrewd, how could he easily tell Ma Xie such important information, yesterday when he heard that Ma Xie had been inquiring about these people, he knew that this was Ma Xie's weakness, who knew that it would work so well.

"I knew I wouldn't have forgotten that meal!" Master Yuan secretly regretted in his heart.
