Chapter 15: Coercion and Breach of Contract
Ding Si vomited a mouthful of blood in shame and fainted, and the people of the Golden Sword King hurriedly helped him aside, and rescued him with a pinch of heart.
One of the Golden Sword King's men came over and helped to help. But that sorcerer was only a second- or third-level junior sorcerer, and after reciting the spell for a long time, he barely sent a healing aura.
Chen Shao'an quipped: "Yo ho! Are you still a little cheeky? Afraid of kowtowing? Fainting yourself first, it can be regarded as a bit of a hurry! This Tiger mercenary group is really full of talents, haha...... "
The Golden Sword King sneered and said, "Chen San, don't go too far!
"What do you mean by that? Who did we provoke tonight? Luo Sanye invited him to eat and drink, and what did he get in the way? But there are always guys who don't know what to do, and they have to come to find some trouble! If you think we are easy to bully in Beizhen? Hmph...... Then just give it a try!"
Chen Shaoan raised his head to the sky, with one hand behind him, with a look of nonchalance.
"You?...... "
Seeing that Chen Shao'an looked underbeaten, the Golden Knife King couldn't help but be furious in his heart, and he was about to get rid of the game to find some face for Ding Si.
Luo Sanye saw that the matter was going to make a big deal at this time, so he hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "Two, the two of you will dissipate your anger first, you see that the incident just now has passed." Let's not mention it, okay? We still have to work together in the future, and besides, we will all look up and not look down in Beizhen in the future. Let's go into the store and drink a glass of water and wine, and we'll let go of our suspicions. Since then, they are all good brothers, how about come, come, come, come!"
Chen Shaoan smiled coldly and said, "Shopkeeper Luo, Third Master Luo." You've seen it this time, right? Who's that guy who doesn't have the ability to cheat money, right?"
Ding Si had just woken up by his own people at this time, and he happened to hear what Chen Shaoan said. There was another burst of anger attacking the heart, and with a wow, he spit out a mouthful of blood, making the face like gold paper, and the anger was like a gossamer.
The Golden Sword King glanced at Ding Si and secretly cursed the waste in his heart. His face was solemn, and he first ordered a few people to carry Ding Si back to his residence and ask someone to heal and recuperate.
He turned to Luo Sanye and said, "Let the third master laugh! Now that Chen Sangongzi has spoken, this Ding Si has been defeated again." It's just that our brothers don't have the ability, and the brothers don't have the face to participate in this work. In a few moments, I asked the twenty or so brothers to return the money. Wang will take his leave first!"
After that, he said to Chen Shao'an: "Chen Shao'an! Wang is planted today, and he will personally learn Chen Gongzi's tricks another day!"
He arched his hand, turned around and left.
Luo Sanye hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of the Golden Sword King and said, "Commander Wang, where is this? How can you be missing you in this escort?
Luo Sanye knew that in this northern town, the Tiger Mercenary Group of the Golden Sword King had the largest number of people, and the combat power of his subordinates was relatively strongest. And in his mercenary group, there are also two metamagicians.
If he was to quit, he had just recruited these guards, and he would have to take nearly half of them away. Even if we recruit some other people tomorrow, this combat power will be greatly reduced.
The Golden Sword King sneered: "Third Master Luo doesn't have to be forced to stay! it's enough to have Chen San and Shi Jiu as your guards." Don't you dare to get involved in the affairs of your trading house!"
An old slippery man like Luo Sanye, as soon as he heard the words of the Golden Sword King, he immediately understood what he meant. It is clear that this is with him and me, if there are Chen Shao'an and the others in this escort team, the Tiger Mercenary Group will not enter.
But just signed an employment contract with Chen Shao'an, and this Shi Jiu's skills are indeed not bad. But after all, Chen Shaoan and the others only had two people, while the mercenary group of the Golden Sword King was nearly thirty people.
Even if you are a fool, you know that you have to keep the Golden Sword King's group!
But if the contract is broken now, Chen Shaoan and the others will be dismissed. Losing some money is a trivial matter, and now that so many people are watching this scene, the employment reputation of this trading house will be ruined! But if there are dozens of people missing the Golden Sword King, there will be a few fewer safety barriers along the way.
Even a person as sleek and sophisticated as Luo Sanye could hardly speak, and the sweat on his face suddenly came out.
Luo Sanye pulled the sleeve of the Golden Sword King and let go, right? Unwillingly! Pull it back? It's not like that! It made him really in a dilemma.
Shi Jiu and Chen Shao'an had already seen all this in their eyes, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in their eyes.
Chen Shao'an smiled coldly and said: "Shopkeeper Luo! You don't have to be embarrassed, there are not many of us in this escort team, and we are not too few if we are less! Today's incident is because of me again, so let's count it as our two breaches! Our two grandfathers have withdrawn from the escort team by themselves." We'll refund the deposit now, and we'll be free for a few days, and we'll be offered on the day the caravan departs!"
Luo Sanye was overjoyed when he heard this, he also wanted to keep the Golden Sword King and these people, but he couldn't open this mouth first. At this time, seeing that Chen Shaoan and Shi Jiu had withdrawn from the contract first, they were somewhat embarrassed in their hearts.
Luo Sanye's face was full of shame, "The two of you! I'm really sorry, this is the old man's fault." The deposit does not have to be refunded, and it is considered the tea money for inviting two people to drink tea. How can you still ask for liquidated damages from the two of you? I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!"
"Although Chen San is a little poorer, he has never been worse than half a point in terms of business rules. When your caravan departs, this liquidated damages will definitely be delivered to your trading bank!"
He took the silver out of his bosom and threw it to a caravan steward. didn't pay attention to Luo Sanye, and walked towards the small square with Shi Jiu.
Luo Sanye wiped his sweat, his face was red, he chased two steps, and said: "Chen Sangongzi! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't mention the liquidated damages...... "
Seeing that the Golden Sword King was overpowering and forced the two to withdraw from the escort team, several boos rang out from the crowd of onlookers.
The Golden Sword King snorted coldly from the side and glared around. These people all know that the Tiger Mercenary Group is powerful, and this Golden Sword King is not a person with a large heart. When they saw him coming, they all secretly shut down.
Luo Sanye heard the Golden Sword King snort coldly, and his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly stopped. If you are chasing, won't you offend the Golden Sword King again? Luo Sanye turned around, and his face was already full of smiles.
"Come, come, come! Everyone, let's go to the inn and reset some wine and food, and everyone should discuss this itinerary carefully! Everyone please come into the store and take a seat!"
Grab the Golden Sword King's hand and go to the store.
Seeing the Golden Sword King walking into the store with Luo Sanye, the eyes of many people present showed disdain. But for the sake of his own livelihood, he didn't say anything.
Most of them entered the inn again, and only a few samurai who had not yet signed a contract with the ordinary single gang left separately after a few excuses.
Chen Shaoan and Shi Jiu returned to the small square. Originally, they lived in the town's Blessed Inn.
This Blessed Inn is the most broken inn in North Town, and it is also the cheapest inn!
Sleep all night, only charge a copper plate, and also manage a porridge for free.
Although the porridge was really a real porridge, even the rice grains were clearly visible in a bowl of porridge. But anyway? After all, it's not about money, is it?
There are never outsiders living in this blessed inn, and the people who rent here are all low-level warriors who are struggling to do so.
Someone once asked the boss why it was called Youfu Inn, why is it still so shabby?
The boss rolled his eyes and shouted and scolded: "You poor ghosts are in ruins! If there is no Lao Tzu's shop to take you in in the winter! Where do you live? Don't you all have to freeze your corpses on the street? Think about it, isn't this a blessing for you? Why are you still so broken? Fuck! You have a copper plate a day, and you have to take care of a bowl of porridge! Lao Tzu is doing a loss-making business! Where can I get money to repair the house? Why don't you fucking get out and get the money? Ask some questions about being beaten?"
The person who scolded and questioned was holding his head and running away.
The weather has warmed up a little now, and they don't even have a penny on them. They had been kicked out by the shopkeeper the day before, and they had spent two nights in the small square.
Chen Shao'an was half-lying on the grinding plate, his hands resting behind his head. Looking at the dark night sky, it was the time of the last quarter moon. The moon had not yet risen, and there were only dense stars in the sky.
He sighed and said, "Shi Jiu, don't blame the third uncle, right?
"Third uncle, you're thinking too much, aren't you? How could Shi Jiu blame you? We didn't do this job, maybe we will come to a bigger caravan tomorrow? Maybe we can take on a big job when the time comes!"
"Ho! I guess that's what you're a kid will say! Over the years, it should have been me, the elder, who should have taken care of you. As a result, I let you take care of me, and now I'm still dragging you and me to suffer and starve!"
"Follow the third uncle, what are you suffering and hungry? Shi Jiu really doesn't care!"
"That's right, Shi Jiu. There's one thing I haven't figured out yet, can you tell me?"
"What's the matter?
"Why do you always add the word 'old' when you call me the third uncle? The third uncle is young and suave! Where is the old age?"
"I really want to know?"
"Of course, what else would I ask you to do?"
"I won't tell you now, but one day I will, third uncle. "
"Well, tell me now. Or I won't be able to sleep...... If you don't sleep, you will have wrinkles...... "
"You've slept all day, what if you can still sleep, what if you can still sleep?"
"You...... "
What Chen Shao'an didn't know was that at this moment, there was already a figure in Shi Jiu's mind.
The man's face was like a crown of jade, his sword eyebrows flew obliquely into his temples, his eyes were radiant, and the bridge of his nose was straight. Slightly thin lips, always with a hint of a smile. It looks gentle and elegant, and the jade tree is in the wind. Dressed in a moon-white robe, holding a book in one hand and behind him in the other, he stood there smiling and looking at him.
Chen Shao'an saw that Shi Jiu was in a daze, and he didn't know what to think, so he didn't ask.
Chen Shao'an lay on his back on the grinding plate and looked at the stars in the night sky, and couldn't help but recall the first time he met Shi Jiu five years ago.
