Volume 1: Walking on the Brink of Destruction and Salvation Chapter 22: Old Friends
It's just too much of a deception!
Lu Zhixing felt that he had been greatly humiliated, and suddenly raised his head again and glared fiercely at the policeman.
"You're a bit of a mud leg!"
The officer pulled out the iron rod he was carrying with him and was about to smash it into his head.
If you go on this time, I'm afraid that there will be deaths.
Yu Dongshui stood up with a gloomy expression, wanting to stop it as quickly as possible, but as a result-
The iron rod was cut in the air by a hand.
It was obviously not Lu Zhixing's hand, because this hand looked rough, thick, and powerful, and it was obviously the hand of a practitioner.
The police officer looked at the man who suddenly appeared next to Lu Zhixing in surprise, and then resumed his vicious posture:
"Are you tired of living?!We're working!"
"Bullying the weak people, forcibly expropriating and expropriating, I can't see that you are working. β
The man stared at the police officer with a blank expression, and an invisible coercion descended on the officer.
Very strong, not an opponent himself.
The officer's heart trembled.
After unarming and identifying, most of these police officers are no different from ordinary people, and they are basically powerless to resist in the face of masters.
Seeing this scene, Yu Dongshui's expression relaxed slightly, and he stood in place and waited.
"Really, we're really collecting taxes!"
The police officer pulled the iron rod with all his might, and used both hands, but the stick remained as if it were fixed to a man's hand, like a mountain.
"I really listened. β
The man's tone was filled with irrepressible anger.
"I don't remember that Rockshire's taxes are eighty percent!"
"You! You're questioning Fan Junshou! I'm going to the government to sue you!"
The officer shouted in a hurry, and his companions behind him also spoke out to help.
"You have to weigh the consequences of attacking the police!"
"You may not know, this guy is the third young master of the Li family in the north of the city!
"Now kneel down and kowtow a few times, maybe it's okay!"
The man looked at them with disdain, and said in an even heavier tone to the officer in front of him:
"How dare you say it. You are the third son of the Li family who makes porcelain in the north of the city?"
"Yes, yes, yes, how's that?
The police thought they were gaining power again, but instead they became aggressive.
"I remember your Li family. β
The man flew up and kicked the officer a few steps away, and the man fell to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of pus and blood in pain.
"Brothers, arrest him together!"
"I don't believe you can beat us all at once!"
The officers were about to rush up, brandishing their iron rods and bluffing.
However, after shouting for a long time, the man kept looking at them with contempt, as if watching a group of clowns perform in front of them.
The police officer never dared to come forward to attack the man, because of the strength of the man's kick just now, no one dared to try it easily.
Let's not talk about whether they can win the fight together, the first one to go up will definitely end up worse than the police officer who was just kicked away.
"Why? Why don't you come along?"
The man's tone didn't sound teasing, it sounded like "as long as you dare to come up, I will blow you up together".
"You're in for a great deal of disaster!"
One of the officers shouted in a trembling voice.
"Your Excellency the Chief of the Security Bureauβno, even Fan Junshou won't spare you!"
The man turned his stern gaze to them and said, "I'll go back and ask my lord when he revised the tax rate." β
"Your master?hahahaha!"
One of the police officers laughed and said, "Don't bluff, the only one who can change the tax rate is Fan-"
Suddenly, his expression froze there like a wooden carving.
"Fan what?" the man said in a cold tone.
This guy is from Fan Junshou!
No wonder you dare to beat up a police officer in public!
The masses, the people of the Xuanmi Gang, including Yu Dongshui, were all suddenly stunned.
The man continued: "It seems that your Li family thinks it is eighty percent of the tax, right? β
"Don't!
As soon as the police officer who was kicked into the air stood up, he immediately knelt in front of the man and kowtowed repeatedly, asking for the man's forgiveness.
This eighty percent of the tax is unbearable for any family.
The man turned around in disgust and came to Yu Dongshui unexpectedly.
"Please come with me, sir, there is someone who wants to see you. β
Yu Dongshui glanced at the police officer who was arrogant and domineering not far away, and now he has lost his soul, and nodded.
"Lead the way. β
The crowd consciously separated from a road and watched the two walk towards the Tengsnake Tower opposite.
As the name suggests, the main body of this building is like a snake soaring into the sky, meandering, and the nine-story building reaches into the sky.
The area of each floor decreases gradually, but the status required is getting higher and higher.
The lower three floors are arranged like an ordinary restaurant, with multiple tables and no partitions. Generally, only some small bosses receive customers here, and ordinary people cannot afford to consume such a place.
There are private rooms on the middle third floor, which is a gathering place for famous families.
There are only three, two, and one table on the upper three floors, which is equivalent to only one table on the top floor, and only those who want to be at the level of earl or above can enter.
Although the man was the keeper of the house in Fan County, the place he brought to Dongshui was only by the window on the second floor.
Originally, I was still expecting someone to see me, because I had the impression that there were no friends working at Fan Junshou's house.
A familiar old man sat opposite and greeted Dongshui kindly.
"Hello, street magician. β
There was some joy and indescribable feeling in the tone, like teasing.
"Hello, sir. β
Yu Dongshui responded quietly.
The person in front of him is called Guan Peng, and he is a former colleague of Yu Dongshui.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. He said:
"My name is Guan Yuan, and I am the doorman of Fan County's housekeeper. This is the chief guard of Fan Junshou, called Li Yuande. β
"I've seen Lord Guan, I've seen Lord Li. β
"Don't be polite, Lord Guan, Li Mou retired first. β
Li Yuande said goodbye to the two and went downstairs.
"I wonder what happened when the adults called the little people up?"
Guan Yuan, Guan Peng's twin brother, haven't you heard of it?
Yu Dongshui was a little confused.
"Hahahaha. Guan Peng laughed and said, "So, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your Magic King has forgotten me?"
Seeing that Yu Dongshui's expression was a little ugly, Guan Peng hurriedly said:
"Eh, I'm not trying to tear down your platform, didn't I separate everyone? β
"You can see it. "Yu Dongshui's performance mode is online again.
"Don't shout my name so loudly, I'm being hunted down by the enemy now!"
Guan Yuan was surprised: "You are a big man with the emperor's cover, and someone else wants to kill you?"
"The world is difficult, it's best not to mention me in front of outsiders, otherwise Fan Junshou will be implicated. β
Yu Dongshui continued to lower his voice and flicker.
"Who the hell have you provoked, the Earl will be?"
"No way, it's so good, it's jealous. β
Guan Yuan smiled, this was the Yu Dongshui he knew.
Although after he became the king of magic and entered the gate of Fan Jun again, the two rarely had contact, but it is still difficult to forget this friend.
"And what are you going to do now?"
"I'm still growing up in the outer city, waiting for the time to get out of here. β
"Are you going to Iaur to complain to Emperor Laozi?"
Yu Dongshui was silent for a moment, and decided to follow his words: "Well, only the emperor can protect me." β
After coming out of the imperial capital that year, Yu Dongshui did not tell others about the cold reception, but added fuel and vinegar, saying that the emperor happily sealed his name as the magic king.
Later, many magicians wanted to enter the imperial city to perform, but they were all blocked.
It's just that he sighed that Dongshui's skills were too high, so that the emperor didn't want to watch other people perform anymore.
The two talked a lot more, during which Guan Yuan mentioned Yu Dongshui's fiancΓ©e, but after discovering that Yu Dongshui's expression changed, he immediately changed the topic.
Until the end, Guan Yuan sent out an invitation.
"It's too difficult for you to live in the outer city, why don't you come to my house?"
Looking at Yu Dongshui's hesitant expression, he patted his chest and promised:
"Don't worry, my house was given by the county guard, and there are guards outside, so there will be no problem. β
Indeed, the more dangerous the place, the safer the place, which is the same as Yu Dongshui's visit to the city of Rockshire.
And if you are in the inner city, you can better grasp the wind and grass in the city.
Butβ
"Come back in a few days, leave me the address, and I'll look for you then." β
"Ah, why a few days?"
"I also promised others one thing, and I will go back to say goodbye to others. β
"Oh, well, go early and come back early. β
Guan Yuan wrote the address on the brocade he carried with him and handed it to Yu Dongshui.
"High-end goods, mixed with decent. β
"How can there be a magic king mixed well. Here is the equivalent of a silver coin of imperial gold, put it away. β
After Yu Dongshui unceremoniously took all of Guan Yuan's things, he said goodbye to Guan Yuan and walked out of Teng Snake Tower.
Lu Zhixing and others, who were waiting outside the door, saw Yu Dongshui come out and immediately greeted them.
As if he had forgotten the humiliation of the police, he smiled and hugged a bag of copper coins.
"Big Brother Charlie, look! There are two hundred and eighty-one copper coins, and seven little emperor silver!"
Yu Dongshui frowned and said, "Stupid thing, why don't you go to the money village to exchange it for silver coins?"
Lu Zhixing grabbed his thinning hair and complained:
"I don't know why, those money banks don't want to accept us. β
Are you afraid of being targeted by the police? or do you simply look down on the poor?
Yu Dongshui knew the possible reason, but he still patted him on the shoulder encouragingly: "It's okay, follow your big brother Charlie, these people will beg you to go in the future!"
"Really?" Lu Zhixing's eyes lit up: "By the way, who is it who saw Big Brother Charlie?"
"An old friend. β
"Wow, even the county guard has old friends in the family, and he deserves to be a big brother!"
"You don't recognize the eldest sister?"
"Uh. Outside, we listen to the eldest brother, the male protagonist is outside, and the female protagonist is inside!"
Yu Dongshui said with a smile: "You really dare to say! Let's go, return with a full load!"
Yu Dongshui easily lifted the money bag that Lu Zhixing wanted to hold with both hands with one hand, and took arrogant steps towards the tunnel.
