XVIII. Agreed remuneration
Regarding Ma Qianliang's answer, Wende was basically satisfied.
He is a plane traveler, not an involuntary character in the "infinite flow novels" in his hometown, and has a very large freedom and choice.
Even this world is quite attractive to him, who not only wants to expand the source force pool, but also wants to get some training methods for life force power.
But when it comes to the specifics, Wende can still be very willful, acting completely according to his likes and dislikes.
For example, whether to save people at the moment, that's it.
Although this is a relatively good opportunity, I can directly contact the "martial arts people" in this world.
But Ma Qianliang and the other three didn't have a very good impression of Wen De at first, and he really hadn't seen such a domineering person asking for help.
But fortunately, Ma Qianliang's remedy was timely, not only did he stop Ma Qianshun, but Lu Fang didn't seem too greedy for money.
Wende temporarily pressed the plan of "If necessary, never suffer in the future", and agreed to Ma Qianliang's request.
There is a way to save people like fighting fire, hearing Wende's answer, Ma Qianliang immediately decided to return.
But before they actually set off, they encountered another big problem.
Ma Qianliang: The means of transportation they used to get to this village was horses.
For this, Winder can't say that he has not ridden at all, but he is only limited to a few laps on the racetrack.
If you want to say that you are riding a horse, you are naturally a little uncertain.
But if you are taken to ride with you, and you have such intimate contact with a man, you are also quite resistant.
After some discussion, Ma Qianliang still led one of the horses he brought to Wen De, and said a little helplessly: "Brother Wen, this is the most docile horse among the horses I brought, you can say hello to it." ”
"Don't worry, I'm a quick learner." Wende assured, at Ma Qianliang's signal, while stroking the horse's forehead, he fed it a handful of beans with salt, and finally comforted: "If it is really delayed, I will definitely not insist." ”
At this point, what else can Ma Qianliang say? If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for not thinking about it and not rushing to catch a carriage.
So on the road, at first Wende inevitably stumbled. But he is not completely incompetent, his physical fitness is good, and the situation is urgent, Ma Qianliang does not dare to hide his secrets, and the skills and experience he teaches are quite practical.
If you can be smoothly logged into the database by Winder, you can immediately feel the difference when you apply it.
So it didn't take long for Wende to officially light up the skill of "primary riding", and he no longer felt uncomfortable, and his speed increased.
It made Ma Qianliang look at it a little differently, and suddenly mentioned the old words, "Brother Wen helps each other with righteousness, I don't know where I can use it?" After a pause, he said: "The county order in this place has an old relationship with my father, and Brother Wen's identity is not a problem." ”
Wende was noncommittal, he had the ability to fireworks, and he was not in a hurry about identification.
After thinking for a moment, he turned to Lu Fang and asked, "You guys, huh...... The standard of martial arts knights, Lu ...... What grade is my brother...... Master? ”
Ma Qianliang turned his head to look at Lu Fang, and saw that he was expressionless and did not squint, as if he didn't care about the situation here, and hesitated again before replying: "As far as I know, Brother Lu Shi began to practice martial arts at the age of eight, and at the age of seventeen, he was already a beginner in the sect's mental method, and in a few years, he will have a small success, and the progress will not be smooth; The 'Forging Skills' learned by his sect also have unique subtleties, and Brother Lu's skills are naturally not ......."
Maybe he was afraid of hurting Lu Fang's face, Ma Qianliang just refused to say it directly, Wen De was a little impatient, and asked bluntly: "How is he compared to you?" ”
"This ......" Ma Qianliang hesitated, and replied: "I am a few years older than Brother Lu Shi, and when I was the same age as him, I was only different. ”
Then Ma Qianliang is more powerful, Wen De asked again: "So at the level of his peers, Brother Lu is a relatively powerful master?" ”
"This ......," Ma Qianliang replied, "this is nature. ”
"Brother Ma doesn't have to be like this." Lu Fang, who was riding his horse and running in front, finally couldn't help it, turned around and said in person: "My Iron Sword Sect is only a sect that has only gained some fame in the last few decades, and its background is still insufficient compared to Baiyi Villa, not to mention those famous sects that are famous all over the world. I think I have good talents, and I am diligent in practice, but my skills are still inferior to Brother Qianshun. ”
"Brother Lu is humble." On the side, Ma Qianshun immediately replied: "In the previous competition, I just won a trick by luck." ”
"Exactly." Ma Qianliang followed, and then said to Wen De: "Although Brother Lu is sometimes reckless, he is also not malicious. ”
This is to excuse Lu Fang's previous actions, Wen De smiled, "That's what Brother Ma said. Then he asked, "In that case, my skills are actually not worth mentioning?" ”
It's good that he didn't mention this stubble, but he couldn't help it when he talked about Lu Fang in front of him, "You just have brute strength!" If I had the chance, I could easily outdo you! Obviously, the previous defeat made Lu Fang feel disgraced, and he still felt unwilling to talk about it at this time.
In contrast, Ma Qianliang's answer was more objective, except for a slight hesitation in the statement of "brute force", "Brother Wen is all ...... Divine power is rare and very accessible. And although my view of your skills seems simple, there are rules at all, and there are degrees of advance and retreat. Compared with ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, it is still better than a lot. ”
While Lu Fang sneered, "Those country tricks!" ”
Ma Qianliang had to glance at Lu Fang, and then said to Wen De: "But for me and others, the internal strength of the mind has been at least small, even if it is inferior in terms of strength, there is not much difference." Then whether it is wandering grappling, joint grappling, or more fierce martial arts, Brother Wen has a good chance of winning - not to mention, like Brother Lu's best martial arts, it is actually his master's swordsmanship......"
According to Ma Qianliang's words, the "internal force" in this world is only afraid of the bonus of personal strength, Wen De nodded clearly, and at the same time made a decision, "If I can get away with saving Chu Yunhe, I hope to get a martial arts cultivation method." ”
"This?" Two exclamations sounded one after another, and Ma Qianshun and Lu Fang were both surprised by Wende's request.
But Ma Qianliang still didn't change his face, "There is no problem." Although the martial arts of my villa are not allowed to be taught without the consent of the owner, I had another opportunity to get a few martial arts when I was young, as long as Brother Wen does not dislike it, I can transfer it! ”
"Big brother!" On the other hand, Ma Qianshun shouted again, and Ma Qianliang said: "I have made up my mind, so I don't need to say more." ”
Even if there is an agreement on the remuneration, there is nothing else to say for a while.
In fact, when riding a horse, conversation is not a pleasant thing, and the slightest carelessness may lead to a mouth full of gravel.
Wende and the others hurried silently, changed horses once on the way, and finally arrived at their destination before noon, the county seat of Zhenbei.
As a town on the border of the north of the Saibei, the north of the town is not big, but the city wall is quite large, and the city wall of four or five meters high is very quaint.
There are not many pedestrians coming and going, and there are soldiers guarding the city gate, and they need to be checked before entering and leaving the town.
But Wen De and his party were not hindered in any way, the captain of the team of soldiers seemed to recognize Ma Qianliang, because Ma Qianliang didn't even show any documents, those people just looked at Wen De a few times strangely, and then let him go.
After entering the city and walking for a while, Ma Qianliang led the way and stopped in front of a courtyard.
This courtyard looks quite large, and the door face is also shapely.
And before Ma Qianliang jumped off the horse, someone in the door shouted "Second Young Master, Fourth Young Master" to greet him.
The person who came wanted to hold the reins for Ma Qianliang, but was rejected by shaking his hand, Ma Qianliang asked eagerly: "Manager Zhang, how is the situation of Brother Chu?" ”
The steward replied: "Chu Daxia is still unconscious, and the second lady and Chu Nuxia are taking care of each other. On the other hand, he ordered someone to take over the mounts of Wende and others.
Ma Qianliang raised his feet and walked into the house, the steward followed one step behind, and said, "Young master, not long after you left, Wang Shaoxia came, and he brought a name saying that he was a doctor with superb medical skills. But after asking him to see Chu Daxia, the doctor said the same as the previous ones, saying: The injury is dangerous, and it is no longer a medicine stone. Wang Shaoxia was angry, so he whipped the doctor in a hurry. ”
Ma Qianliang stopped to look at the steward, frowned and asked, "How is the doctor now?" ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just some flesh wounds. The little one has been seen by someone, and the medicine has been used, and now it is being raised in the wing. ”
"Prepare twenty taels of gold, and I'll personally thank and apologize later." Ma Qianliang immediately made arrangements, and when he saw that the steward had nothing else to do, he turned back to Wen De and said, "Brother Wen, can the body still hold on?" ”
"No problem." Winder smiled and replied, "Let's go and see the patient directly." ”
"Thank you Brother Wen for your understanding, then there will be work." Ma Qianliang didn't say much, and led the way directly. However, Ma Qianshun was half a step behind, and told the steward: "These mounts have been running for most of the day, and they must be carefully served, but don't make any mistakes." ”
The steward replied, "The small one is provincial." ”
The Ma family's house is at least three entrances, and whether it is divided into east and west wings has to be said separately.
Ma Qianliang took Wen De to walk around the house for a while, but before he reached the ground, two more men came to him.
He doesn't look very old, he is dressed extraordinarily, and he wears a sword around his waist.
The two of them smiled happily when they saw Ma Qianliang, and shouted, "Brother Ma, you can be regarded as back!" Then he set his eyes on Winder.
The one on the left frowned slightly, "This is the disciple of the rumored predecessor of Limei?" It doesn't look like you've practiced, Brother Ma, aren't you mistaken? ”
The one on the right is much more polite, "Boy, if you have any bad ideas, thinking that this silver is easy to earn, my Wang Zhong will definitely make you look good!" ”
Wende couldn't help but whistle, turned his head and said to Ma Qianliang with a smile: "These two are your friends at a glance, and they have such a similar temper and behavior. ”
Ma Qianliang, Ma Qianshun, and Lu Fang were all a little embarrassed.
Wang Zhong on the other side still didn't know anything, where he shouted: "Boy, what are you talking nonsense?!" ”
Wende gestured to Ma Qianliang, "You go and explain this, take me to the patient." After that, he stopped looking at the two people in front of him, bypassed and continued to move forward.
Ma Qianliang smiled bitterly, glanced at Ma Qianshun, and asked him to explain to Wang Zhong and the others in private, while he quickly followed Wende.
After a little further walking, I finally arrived at the ground, a well-decorated wing. Before he entered the door, he smelled the strong smell of Chinese medicine, and after entering the door, the light was dim, and Wende was a little used to the bottom before he could see the situation inside.
There were six people in the room, and two maids were half-seated on the couch supporting a man with a bloodless face and closed eyes. There was another man behind him, stretching out his hand against the back of the heart of his predecessor, which felt like the legendary means of "internal strength healing".
On a chair a little farther away, two more women were sitting, both in their twenties, but they were a little sluggish, and their complexions did not look very good.
They were closing their eyes and pretending to sleep, but when they heard the movement, they couldn't help but smile when they opened their eyes and saw the person who came, "Second brother! "Ma Shaoxia." They also knew Ma Qianshun's previous itinerary, and when they looked at Wen De's eyes, they couldn't help but have some expectations, "I think this is the disciple of Senior Mei?" ”
Winder nodded and greeted them, then turned his gaze to the bloodless man.
That person should have Chu Yunhe didn't run away, and the injury that made him unconscious and still hasn't woken up is also very eye-catching, and the dagger that has not been pulled out of the left abdomen of that person has not been pulled out so far.
Wen De frowned slightly when he saw it, and confirmed to Ma Qianliang: "He was injured in the early hours of tonight attack?" ”
"Yes."
"Is there something strange about this dagger that I need to know in advance?"
