Chapter 98: An Unexpected Encounter

Walking on the official road from Yangzhou to Suzhou, Li Yu kept muttering to himself, as if he was very nervous. Peng Wuwang looked at it in his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, don't worry, no matter how terrifying the God of War Heavenly Soldier is, it is just a dead thing, with your wisdom and my martial arts, I believe that I will definitely be able to subdue it." What's more, there will be a lot of masters on this trip, so there will be no problem."

Li Yu sighed heavily and said, "You really underestimate the power of the God of War Heavenly Soldier. And it's definitely not a dead thing." Peng Wuwang frowned and asked, "Mr. Li, how do you say this?"

Li Yu sighed and said, "Do you know that this God of War Heavenly Soldier is a strange metal extracted from a meteorite that fell from the sky by an unknown craftsman in ancient times. This strange metal is a living thing."

Peng was hopeless and hurriedly asked, "Metal is copper and iron, not flesh and blood, how can it be a living thing?"

Li Yu smiled bitterly: "You won't understand what I said, maybe you think that all creatures are made of flesh and blood, but you look at those turtles and clams, their shells are hard, and they are not made of flesh and blood, but stone. Therefore, if there are creatures with stone shells in the world, how can there be no creatures with metal shells?"

"Metal case?" Peng asked in disbelief, "Are you saying that the God of War Heavenly Soldiers are creatures clad in metal shells?" Li Yu nodded, "So to speak."

Peng Wuwang asked again, "However, he has been tempered by people, that is, he has been burned by fire, how can he still live?"

Li read: "Ordinary flames can't burn it, it can only deform it, and only a real high-temperature flame can refine it."

"It's like three flavors of real fire?" Peng asked tentatively.

Li Yu's face showed a look of crying and laughing, and he pondered for a long time before he said, "Yes, it's the three flavors of true fire."

"Do you have three flavors of true fire?" Peng Wuwang asked curiously.

"Yes, yes." Li Yu patted the bag on his back and said, "It's inside, I've been waiting for this day for decades."

Peng Wuwang laughed reassuringly: "In this way, we have everything ready, and we will see how the God of War Heavenly Soldiers ends."

"If only it were that simple!" Li Yu said solemnly, "Now this thing can move in an instant, and it can change in a thousand ways. And my excitement ,...... I mean, my three-flavor fire is only enough to burn it once, so someone has to force it down first so that I can hit it with one hit. Otherwise, we're dead."

Peng Wuwang patted his chest and said, "Mr. Li, don't worry, with me Peng Wuhope, there is absolutely no way for the God of War Heavenly Soldiers to escape."

Li Yu looked at Peng Wuwang appreciatively, and said, "Young man, you are really chivalrous." He coughed and said, "Actually, this time I eliminated the God of War Heavenly Soldier, I have nothing to worry about here, you escort me to find the God of War Heavenly Soldier, it can be regarded as a bodyguard, and the money must be given."

Peng Wuwang's face sank, and he said, "Mr. Li, I respect you for being a wise man, so I am willing to go with you to find the God of War Heavenly Soldier, if you give me money, you will look down on me."

Li Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Stinky boy, according to what you say, you don't even want to make a lot of money from darts in the future." Peng Wuwang raised his eyebrows, and a puzzled look appeared on his face.

Li Yu went on to say, "You see, you are playing a dart game, and your actions should be subordinate to the dart game. And what you're doing right now is also the act of a bodyguard. If you don't want money, that is, you set your remuneration at zero, then you break the rules of dart. Think about it, if everyone knows that your bodyguards don't need money, then they all come to you to support the darts, isn't this just starving to death for all the other dart shop?"

"I respect Mr. Li and don't charge money, but I don't ...... anyone else," Peng Wuwang said with a hard thought.

"That's even more wrong, this is a double standard, the guests will think that you are very unfair, then the Pengmen Dart Bureau will have no credibility, and the dart store without credibility will be patronized. When the time comes, you will be the sinner of the Flying Tiger Dart Game for the ages." Li read and talked eloquently.

"It's so serious, I didn't expect any of that. So, this time, I'm going to collect money!" Peng Wuwang thought for a long time and hurriedly said.

"That's right, look, this dart is a human dart, and it is me Li Yu who protects me, with my Li Yu's prestige, coupled with the danger of this trip, it is not too much to charge me 30,000 taels of silver. As for the deposit, it's fifteen thousand taels." Li Yu took out a small bag from his arms, handed it to Peng Wuwang, and said, "Take it." I have sold most of my possessions and bought these Nanzhu at a fair price. These are rare goods, and fifty of them add up to fifteen thousand taels. You take it first."

Peng Wuwang was stunned and took the big bag of Nanzhu, not knowing what to say.

"I'll make up the rest at the end of this trip. In this way, the money and goods are paid to each other, and they do not owe each other credit. That's the right way to do business. If you want to dart, it's useless to rely on blood alone, you have to use your brains a lot, and you have to obey the rules." Li Yu shook his head and said.

Peng Wuwang nodded blankly, and suddenly said, "Mr. Li, after this trip, if you have nothing to do, you can go to our dart bureau to be the treasurer, how about it?"

Li Yu's body shook and almost fell off his horse.

When Peng Wuwang saw Bashanhe who had just come out of the grocery store with all kinds of Jiangnan children's toys, the two of them were stunned. "You are ......" Although Peng Wuwang had seen him twice, he never knew his name.

"Hello, Gongzi Peng." As soon as Bashanhe saw him, his heart tightened, and the astonishing momentum that Peng Wuwang unintentionally exuded caused the true qi in his body to boil violently, and he almost couldn't help but pull out the five-foot saber at his waist.

"We've met this brother a few times, but I've never asked my brother Taigao's name." Peng Wuwang bowed his hand respectfully, and a look of surprise appeared unexpectedly in his eyes.

"In the lower mountains and rivers." Bashanhe hurriedly tried to collect the thing he was holding in front of him behind his back, but accidentally dropped it on the ground. Peng Wuwang and Li Yu immediately rushed forward and helped him pick it up.

"Brother Ba, do you have a family nearby?" Peng Wuwang stuffed a delicate rag doll into Bashanhe's arms and asked curiously.

"I, hey." Bashanhe had never been so embarrassed, and he hardly knew how to answer.

Peng Wuwang looked at him and thought that he and he were not close friends, so he quickly changed the conversation and said with a smile: "Oh, brother, let me introduce you, this is the famous craftsman Li Yu in the rivers and lakes." He pointed with his hand to Li Reading.

Although Li Yu didn't know who Bashanhe was, since Peng Wuwang treated him differently, he accepted him sincerely, and said with a smile, "Brother Bashanhe, it's a good luck."

Bashanhe nodded and said, "Master Peng, it is really fateful to meet here, but unfortunately there is something important in the lower body, so I will leave, he will meet in the future, and there will be a period later."

Peng Wuwang saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly said, "Brother Wait, I have something to inquire about next."

Bashanhe had no choice but to restrain his steps and say in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Peng Wuwang's face turned slightly red, and he asked cautiously, "I don't know if I can ask some things about Guishang."

Bashanhe remembered that Peng Wuwang had been desperate to hire Princess Jinxiu, and it could be said that he fell in love with his master at first sight. Thinking of Peng Wuhope's stunned words, he actually frightened the clever and sharp-tongued Princess Jinxiu into running away, and couldn't help but smile slightly. He coughed awkwardly and said, "I don't know what Gongzi Peng wants to ask?"

Peng Wuwang's face became even hotter, and he said, "I don't know what your temperament is on weekdays?"

"Huh?" Bashanhe was taken aback.

Li Yu, who was on the side, rolled his eyes, took a few steps back, hid far away, and pretended to pick up at a roadside stall.

Peng Wuwang scratched his head, carefully organized the words in his heart, and asked in one breath, "I don't know what her heart is? Is she virtuous, gentle and filial, or is she just a femme fatale?"

"Bastard!" Hearing Peng Wuwang's words, Bashanhe was furious and said, "My master is the most benevolent and wise woman in the world, and the person I respect the most in this life.

Hearing this, Peng Wuwang was overjoyed in his heart, and grabbed Bashanhe's sleeve, and said: "It turns out that she is such an extraordinary strange woman, that day I heard that she gathered martial arts masters to plot against the god of war in order to collect the bones of her ancestors, and I thought she was a selfish femme fatale, that is my heart. Now that I think about it, she has worked so hard to collect the bones of her ancestors, and she is really filial, but she is not thoughtful."

It took Bashanhe a long time to get rid of his hands, and his face showed a trace of pity, and said, "Don't be delusional about my master, she won't like you, wake up."

Peng Wuwang's eyes darkened, and he said, "I already knew. It's a pity that I, Peng Wuwang, have no choice in my life, and I didn't know about men and women in the world until I met her. I met her at the beginning of my love, and I never forgot it at first sight, and I asked myself that it would be difficult to be emotionally attached to the woman next to me in this life. Now I only hope that she is a good woman who is as beloved as she is on the outside, and it is not in vain for me to be infatuated. As for the idea of non-separation, there will be no more."

Looking at Peng Wuwang's face without regrets, Bashanhe seemed to see the situation when he first met Princess Jinxiu, he never expected that Peng Wuwang, who seemed to be rough, would have such deep tenderness and such an open mind in his heart.

"You," Bashanhe said after a long pause, "you don't have to say this to me. We've only known each other for a short time."

Peng Wuwang smiled bitterly and said, "Peng Mou's life is worthy of his actions, and he has nothing to say to others." Bashanhe's eyes showed a look of emotion, and he didn't speak.

Peng Wuwang sighed and said, "Actually, I have one more thing to inquire about, I don't know if Brother Bao can tell me."
