Chapter 571: Elite Gathering
"Let's go in for dinner!" replied the leader disapprovingly.
"But the tables and stools have been put away. Although the middle-aged shopkeeper said apologetically, his hands were still blocked.
"It's okay, let's just eat standing up!" the leader emphasized.
In fact, this group of beggars, who didn't look like beggars, thought about coming in because they saw that there was some space in the hall after the tables and stools were removed.
"Guys, guys, they're all standing anyway, how much difference can there be between inside and outside, right?" said the middle-aged shopkeeper with a smirk. Of course, there was still no sign of letting go of the hands that were blocked.
The middle-aged shopkeeper also knows the truth of making money with harmony, and to be honest, he doesn't want to have a conflict with these people who don't seem to be simple and don't know if they are "beggars". However, he has already received too much money from the group of people who don't seem to be simple. People spend a high price just to sleep in the hall, and it is estimated that their hearts are no longer very comfortable. If you let this group of "Hanako" go in and stir it up, then it will cause some kind of chaos. Therefore, he now had to bite the bullet and stop this group of beggars trying to enter.
The leader threw out a large ingot of silver, then glared at the middle-aged shopkeeper fiercely, and said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't you just worried that we can't pay the silver!"
The middle-aged shopkeeper was immediately stunned, but he still stubbornly blocked it, and said with a bitter smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, this business is about integrity." Dissatisfied with everyone, the small one has promised to use the hall as a place for everyone to rest at night. If you go in to eat and drink, I am afraid it will affect them. ”
When the leader heard this, he immediately withdrew his hand that was about to push away the body of the shopkeeper in front of him. After all, what people said was reasonable, so it was inconvenient for him to use strong suppression. At the same time, I also have a little good impression of this store in my heart. "In that case, let's dine at this door. ”
When the middle-aged shopkeeper saw that these people were actually moved by what he said, his mood immediately improved. While excitedly shouting "Okay", he turned around and wanted to go back to the store to prepare a sumptuous meal for others.
But at this moment, I heard the leader call: "Wait!"
When the middle-aged shopkeeper heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and then turned around again with trembling feet. Because, the middle-aged shopkeeper is afraid that those "beggars" who are not easy to get along with are deliberately finding fault. Otherwise, what beggar would be as imposing as they are, as clean as they are?
Before the middle-aged shopkeeper could speak, the leader threw out a larger ingot of silver, and said with a proud expression: "After eating, we will also go to the hall for the night." It's always okay, right?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper was stunned, as if he hadn't expected this kind of thing at all. But under the knife-like gaze of the beggars, he quickly replied with a trembling: "But, you can...... Absolutely!"
Seeing the reaction of the middle-aged shopkeeper, the leader's mood immediately improved, so he scolded with a smile and urged: "Then why are you still stunned? Hurry up and prepare food and drinks for us!"
"Yes, yes......" The frightened middle-aged shopkeeper replied a few words resignedly, and then hurriedly fled to the back hall.
It is strange to say that when a group of beggars who had eaten and drunk enough to enter the door, no one inside showed the slightest disgust. He even took the initiative to make a small vacant space for these beggars. This made the face of the middle-aged shopkeeper, who had been worried, immediately settle down. To be honest, what he was most afraid of was seeing these bad masters in conflict in his inn. Otherwise, his small shop is definitely not enough for people to tear down!
However, there are dangers and opportunities. The disciples of the ten major sects can be described as the masters who walk sideways in the eastern soil. Not to mention that he is a small innkeeper, even if he is a nobleman of the kingdom, he has to give three points of courtesy when he meets them. Therefore, if any disciple started a rush in the inn, the middle-aged shopkeeper would definitely not find a place to reason. However, in the end, the middle-aged shopkeeper was lucky to escape the catastrophe and obtained a lot of wealth. Even if you don't do business since then, as long as you are a little thrifty, you don't have to worry about food and clothing in this life.
You may ask, are the disciples of these ten major sects not stupid, just by staying downstairs, can they ensure that Western magicians do not slip away? Actually, they are not stupid. Although they are both disciples of the ten major sects, their status is still slightly different. Those who appear on the bright side naturally have a higher status, so they can get the opportunity to enjoy themselves in the inn. In fact, in addition to them, there are many secret agents in each sect who have been lurking around.
These open-faced disciples of the Ten Great Sects were guarding downstairs, at least to ensure that Western magicians would not abscond from underground. The lesson last time was a painful lesson, so it was only natural that they would not make the same mistake again this time. If a Western magician took advantage of the night and secretly flew away from the window of the guest room, he would definitely not be able to escape the eyes of the disciples of the ten major sects lurking in the dark. Therefore, this kind of arrangement has actually put Western magicians in a dead state of "no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth".
A small inn in an inconspicuous town actually gathered dozens or hundreds of elite disciples of the ten major sects in one day. For thousands of years, in the martial arts, this phenomenon is quite rare.
After going up to the second floor, Piao Wuji and Ni Ping'er did not immediately separate, but entered the same room. How powerful the ears and eyes of the drifting were that the actions of those disciples of the ten major sects naturally couldn't hide from him. After figuring out the true intentions of the disciples of the ten major sects, Piao Wu decisively turned on the soundproof shield.
"Ping'er, have you noticed anything strange?" asked Piao Wuxian first.
"Hmph, do you think you're the only one who is smart?" Ni Ping'er glanced at someone angrily, "I have already seen that those who are following are all disciples of the ten major sects. ”
"Clever!" Drift Traceless smiled and exclaimed, then asked, "How did you tell?"
"Cut, do you still need to ask?" Ni Ping'er replied with some disdain, "A discerning person will know at a glance that those guys are all equipped with advanced martial arts. ”
"However, those with profound martial arts may not necessarily be from the ten major sects. Drifting without a trace, he smiled wickedly as he spoke.
"Hmph, I said yes, that's it. You're deliberately going against me, aren't you?" asked Ni Ping'er a little rudely.
"Alas, there's no way, who let yourself face a woman?" Piao Wuxian sighed in his heart, and then hurriedly begged for mercy, "How dare I?" Seeing that the face of the beauty opposite looked a lot better, Piao Wuxian continued, "Do you feel strange, this time, all the people who entered the inn were martial arts people, and there was no ordinary person." ”
