Chapter 57: The Mysterious Middle-Aged Man
What Lin Tianyang and Chen Susu didn't expect was that Zhao Ziwu, who had met in Leqing City before, had actually come to Qingzhou City, and the courtyard they came to was only a few hundred meters away from the hotel where they were staying, but what they didn't expect was that the owner of this courtyard was actually Zhao Ziwu's master, if they knew, they would definitely be shocked.
Zhao Ziwu, who stood up, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the lord arranged for him to become the city lord of Leqing City in the name of Song Yongchang, he has been doing his best for the Lord all these years, but this time he missed, he actually exposed his identity, and was chased and killed, and he had to run to let the Lord protect him; Originally, he was still beating a drum in his heart, afraid that the Lord would deal with him, but now it seems that he doesn't have to die.
"Your spell has just been cultivated for a short time, and you are not cultivating with all your strength, your real strength is not strong, when you meet someone who also knows magic, it is normal to break your spell, whether to practice the spell I gave you in the future, or you decide for yourself, I won't force you." The middle-aged man said.
Hearing this, Zhao Ziwu's face finally returned to normal, and then with a shake of his hand, he took out a dagger and sent it to the middle-aged man with both hands.
"Lord, this dagger was caught by me in the pit where the Tianxingmen headquarters collapsed, it is extremely sharp, it should be the legendary Tianlan dagger." Zhao Ziwu said.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man picked up the dagger and studied it carefully, Zhao Ziwu hurriedly pulled off a few of his hairs and handed them to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man stretched out the dagger, Zhao Ziwu held the hair in both hands and released it on the dagger, and the hair fell, and it was cut off by the dagger without any hindrance.
"Well, it's a good dagger, it should be the Tianlan dagger, and this shape is the same as the legend." The middle-aged man nodded and said move.
Zhao Ziwu didn't speak, but picked up all the broken hair on the table, and then took a few steps back.
"You have rarely accompanied your family over the years, and this time you happened to be back, I will give you three days off, go back to accompany your family, as for the rest of the matter, I will arrange for you to do it for you." The middle-aged man said.
"Thank you, Lord for your kindness!" Zhao Ziwu hurriedly saluted and said.
As soon as the middle-aged man raised his hand, several silver tickets floated towards Zhao Ziwu, and at the same time said, "Take this money and go back to appease your family." ”
"Thank you, Lord!" Zhao Ziwu hurriedly answered, and then slowly withdrew from the study.
The middle-aged man played with the dagger twice, and suddenly wanted to throw it into the darkness on the left.
Suddenly, a hand reached out in the shadows, grabbed the handle of the dagger, and said, "Good thing." ”
"Are you saying that what Zhao Ziwu said is true?" The middle-aged man asked.
"It's true, the news I received is also like this, I am interested in the pair of men and women, I don't know who they are, and my people in the Hengsheng Chamber of Commerce have not inquired, but I heard that it is a young man and a woman." The man in the shadows said.
"Don't care who they are, there are more important things you need to do, Qingzhou City is not quiet these days, it is said that two families have been stolen, and some things have been lost, you have to take care of me here, don't let people steal my treasure house." The middle-aged man said.
"Don't worry, no, as for the thief, I have also paid attention to it in the past two days, and I have not found any trace of the perpetrator, if he comes here, whether he is human or not, there is only one end, that is, his soul is scattered." The man in the shadows said.
"Ah Hui, the famous mad god back then, is still so crazy." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Lin Tianyang and Chen Susu discussed some methods, but none of them could be used, King Ning's godson Ma Yuqiang is a shrewd and capable middle-aged man, he has no hobbies, he is a disciple of a family, his ancestors are all military generals, although he is now idle at home, but he has a lot of industries under his name, and he is a very rich man; And he has deep contacts with the dignitaries and nobles in Qingzhou City, and he is a difficult person to approach.
"With the current situation of the two of us, there is no way to get close to this Ma Yuqiang, we can only wait for the opportunity." Lin Tianyang said.
"Yes, we keep an eye on him, we will shoot when we have the opportunity, but we must also keep an eye on other people, these people are also good targets, we can't miss the opportunity, but we can't hang ourselves from a tree." Chen Susu said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Tianyang said.
At this moment, there was a sudden "fluttering" sound outside, and the two hot looked at each other and pushed open the window of the room.
Now Chen Susu saw the night in Qingzhou City, it was really lively, many people didn't sleep, but most of them were flying in the air, although the races were different, but they were all peaceful, each busy, and the one who just made a voice didn't know what kind of existence it was, and it had disappeared.
"Not to mention the daytime, even these people at night have many people who are better than us." Lin Tianyang said.
"Yes, I don't know my own shortcomings until I get to such a place, and the frog at the bottom of the well is talking about people like us." Chen Susu said.
"I can't say that, but we are also people with some strength." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.
"You two, come and have a drink with me?" At this time, on the roof of the house opposite Lin Tianyang, a person who was drinking looked at them and said with a smile.
This man is in his forties, but he is very thin, holding a large wine jar in one hand and a roast chicken in the other, and is drinking and eating meat.
Lin Tianyang and Chen Susu glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes, because this person was not there at the last moment, and they didn't see when this person appeared.
"Hahahaha... Uncle, our alcohol consumption is not good, don't make fun of me if you drink too much. Lin Tianyang said with a laugh, then turned around, took out a jar of wine and some cooked food from the storage ring, jumped out of the window, and came to the middle-aged man, the two of them glanced at each other, and then each took a big sip.
"Uncle, this is the meat I made, it is suitable for cold food and wine, you can taste it." Lin Tianyang handed the cooked food in his hand to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man put down the wine jar, picked up two pieces of meat and stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them a few times, and then stretched out his thumb to Lin Tianyang and said, "Well, it's good, it's delicious and chewy, it's well done." ”
At this time, Chen Susu also jumped over, holding several plates in his hand, all of them were cold meat, but they were all cut.
"Senior, try my craft." Chen Susu said with a smile.
The middle-aged man picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewing it and saying with a smile: "Well, yes, the two of you live a really delicate life, you can't be cooks, right?" ”
Chen Susu also took out a small jar of wine, and after taking a sip, he said with a smile: "The seniors said that they were joking, we lived in the mountains with the master before, and there were just three of us, and there was nothing else to do, so we studied and cooked food by ourselves, otherwise I would be hungry, and my master would not cook." ”
Hearing Chen Susu's words, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "No wonder, it's not bad, you won't be hungry outside." ”
"That's what the seniors said." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.
The three of them chatted one sentence at a time, but the wine was drunk quickly, and the middle-aged man finished drinking a jar, took out another jar, and continued to drink.
"Then why did you two get here? Not in the mountains? The middle-aged man asked with a smile.
Lin Tianyang took a sip of wine when he heard this, and said angrily: "It's not our master yet, he disappeared suddenly, we don't know where he went, we've been looking for it for months, but we haven't found it, and the master doesn't have much money left, and then we thought about coming to the big city, looking for a job or something; Who knew that this thing in this big city was so expensive, and the two of us spent a lot of silver on it for a few days. ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's the first time you come out, it's just that you're not very adaptable, but you will get used to it later, besides, you should find a small place to live, and it can be cheaper." ”
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man changed his words and asked with a smile, "What did you learn from Master on the mountain?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just the superficial kung fu in my master's mouth, he said that our qualifications are average, and he said that let's learn some skills and live a better life, I think we will be starved to death sooner or later." Lin Tianyang said depressedly.
"I saw that your strength was still good just now, so let's do it, if you really want to find something to do, I can introduce you to one." The middle-aged man said.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lin Tianyang and Chen Susu glanced at each other, and the eyes of both of them showed a look of surprise, Lin Tianyang hurriedly said, "Really? Then thank you, uncle! ”
"Yes, if the seniors can help us introduce a job, then I would really appreciate it." Chen Susu also hurriedly said.
The reason why Lin Tianyang and Chen Susu agreed to introduce middle-aged people to them for jobs is mainly because the two of them have no way to get close to Ma Yuqiang now, and they have to rely on themselves, and they don't know when they will be able to get in touch with Ma Yuqiang; Another reason is the strength of this middle-aged man, this person appeared suddenly, quietly, and in front of Lin Tianyang and the others, the two of them could only see him, but they couldn't feel his existence, and his strength should still be above Ma Sanshou.
Hearing the words of the two people, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "Then I'll help you find a job, it just so happens that I have a batch of goods that need to be sent to the capital, so you can go with me, when you get to the capital, I will give each of you a thousand taels of silver." ”
"Really?" Lin Tianyang and Chen Susu stood up as soon as they heard this, and asked in surprise.
