"This gift is for you!"

As soon as the words came out, not only the young man of the Du family and his entourage were surprised, but the old man and Chang Mingqi, who were observing from afar in the town lord's pavilion, also raised their eyebrows. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The little junior brother is careless!" Even as the head of a town, Chang Mingqi was a little unstable at this time: "This Du family concubine heard the words about the Qin family's materials at the town gate, but at this time he was pierced by the little junior brother himself, once Du Tian smelled a ruthless hand, he set a charge for fanning the flames and provoking the relationship between the two Qin and Du families, and even involved the town guards, even I won't be good at ...... then."

Although the old man in front of him was also surprised, he squinted his eyes and stroked his beard and thought for a while, then waved his hand to interrupt Chang Mingqi's worry.

"Let's take a look!"

......

"Give it to me?" After being surprised, the eyes of the young man of the Du family showed even more interest, and he waved his hand to stop the nervous strong men: "Didn't you sell it to me just now?"

The boy looked indifferent, didn't care at all about the angry glares of the few strong men behind him, shook his head and said, "This is a gift, naturally it can't be sold, it can only be given." ”

"So, why did you give it to me?"

The boy was silent for a while, his eyes were very calm, and the young man of the Du family felt that he was looking at himself, and it took a while to hear him say, "Because you are the most suitable." ”

The young man of the Du family narrowed his crooked eyes, he was not very satisfied with this answer, and suddenly raised his head and raised his voice: "When you were at the gate of the town, you said that these were the materials of the Qin family!"

But after a short pause, the boy nodded calmly: "I said it." ”

"Hmph, it turns out that you want to provoke the relationship between my Du family and the Qin family!"

This sentence was full of eloquence, and several strong men also stepped forward, faintly surrounding the boys.

But seeing that the boy was not nervous at all, he shook his head indifferently: "If you say this, it's a little unnecessary, it's just a lie to get out." ”

Du Tianwen was about to accuse the boy of exculpating himself, but he saw that the other party didn't stop talking at all: "The Qin and Du families are the cornerstones of Qin Du Town, even if they really want to provoke, it is not something that a newcomer like me can do, and the words at the gate of the town are just to test which one is more suitable to receive my gift." ”

"Temptation?" These words made the young man hold back the accusatory words: "Since you said that you wanted to give a gift, then why do you want to give it to the Du family now that you said the Qin family you said at that time?"

The swaddling strap seemed to slip down a bit, and the boy shrugged his shoulders and pushed it back: "There are two guards at the gate of the town, and one of them has a waist jade that reveals the identity of his Du family, so at that time I can only say that the animal material is the material of the Qin family, so that they will have some scruples and not go deeper." ”

And the guard surnamed Du, when he was accused of the crime, showed extreme panic, this could not be the performance of a person from the first clan of Qin Du Town, it can only prove that the Qin family is slightly better than the Du family in terms of strength, which caused the guard's reaction at that time. ”

This was said bluntly, several strong men were all members of the Du family, so they naturally showed their resentment, but Du Tianwen still bent his eyes and did not react, so they didn't dare to make their own decisions, so they could only stare at the boy in the middle with their copper bell big eyes.

"In that case, shouldn't you give this gift to the Qin family as you say?" Even though the Du family's young man's eyes were naturally slightly bent, as if he was smiling all the time, there was also a hint of coldness at this time.

"The icing on the cake is better than sending charcoal in the snow. The boy didn't seem to feel the hostility around him at all, and said slowly: "Compared with the Qin family, the slightly weaker Du family will value my gift more. ”

The young man of the Du family was a little surprised by the boy's frankness, and pointed to the counter of the animal material store: "That's why you came to the animal material store to evaluate your 'gift'?"

The boy nodded, then shook his head again: "That's just part of the valuation. ”

"Oh, what's the other part?"

"It's to see how much value these beasts can help me embody. ”

The coldness in the eyes of the young man of the Du family finally dissipated: "Indeed, for the Du family, these beast materials are not enough to reflect your value." ”

The boy looked directly at the young man: "So, this gift is not for the Du family, but for you." ”

"Give it to me?"

With a squint of eyes, the boy and the boy finally looked at each other seriously at the same time, and then the corners of the boy's mouth were hooked, and that smile made people only feel like a spring breeze.

"In that case, well, I will accept this gift. ”

"So, what do you want in return?"

......

"Little junior brother is so deep in calculation!"

Chang Mingqi had already let go of his initial worries, and then became a sincere admiration: "The ambition of the Du family's concubine, even I have not been able to confirm it, but it was seen through and used by the little junior brother at a glance, and the teacher really accepted a good apprentice this time!"

The old man tilted his head and squinted, the light from the overlapping of the three suns made him feel very comfortable, and he touched his long gray beard, looking drowsy.

"It's not over yet, the task I gave him is still a set of armor. Now that all the beasts have been given away, where do you think he will get the armor again?"

Looking at the lazy old man, the middle-aged mayor smiled helplessly: "The teacher said that he was joking, this military armor, the junior brother will naturally exchange it from the Du family's concubine." ”

"Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that when the little junior brother was at the gate of the town, he had already noticed the existence of the Du family's concubine, from beginning to end, including the words of the Qin family's materials, it should be his temptation to Du Tianwen, if Du Tianwen really has no ambition, or his personality is too extreme, then the little junior brother will really send those beasts to the Qin family. ”

Now that the Du family has looked at the little junior brother differently, he has also accepted the skin and bone materials, and has the idea of subduing the little junior brother, the need for a set of military armor, plus the Du family is already in charge of the business affairs in the town, presumably it is just a nod of trivialities. ”

This is true, although the two of them are standing in the town lord pavilion in the distance, the situation of the animal material shop is extremely clear in front of their eyes, and the earth and stone walls are all illusory.

The old man's hand paused, wrapped in his beard, and pulled it down in annoyance, and as a result, his jaw hurt and wrinkled together.

I haven't seen him for decades, and the memory of the middle-aged mayor has never weakened, but the old man's performance as in front of him has never been seen.

"However, if it was just a set of armor, he would have lost the deal. ”

Chang Mingqi was stunned for a moment.

"Attachment, although it is a good means, but to condescend his own status to a retainer, this is not what I expect from him. ”

The two of them were silent again, and their eyes turned to the animal material store again.

......

"So, what do you want in return?"

The young man of the Du family squinted at the boy and asked lightly: "You have proved your worth, now, make your request!"

The boy shook his head, and stepped back slightly, and he easily walked out surrounded by several strong men.

"As you said, these beasts don't actually reflect my full value, and I have proved a part of it through my means, then, as a gift in return, it's your turn!"

"My turn?" the boy suddenly felt amused.

Even if he is just a concubine, he is a member of the Du family after all, plus the old man's favor, his words have always had enough weight in Qin Du Town, and the boy in front of him, a nobody who came out of nowhere, wants to prove his worth, how can this not make him feel funny.

But the boy's expression was so calm, so serious, that the boy couldn't laugh anyway.

He thought for a moment, then waved his hand and beckoned a few angry strong men back behind him.

"In that case, how do you want me to prove myself?"

The boy didn't care about the indifference on the young man's face, but looked at the strong men: "Let them go to guard the door first." ”

"Boy, what are you talking about!" the strong man in the lead finally couldn't stand the boy's attitude, and opened his mouth angrily and scolded.

But the boy completely ignored their excited emotions, and just quietly looked at the young man of the Du family whose expression gradually became serious, and said nothing.

The young man raised his hand: "Let's all go out!"

"Young Master!"

"All go out!" The voice of the young man of the Du family raised an octave, silencing all the strong men behind him: "Wait at the door, don't let anyone else in." ”

"But ......"

"Go!"

The five strong men were helpless, and they struck at the boy a few times before they left the store and stayed outside.

"We're the only ones left now, can we?"

The boy remained silent, his eyes swept to the roof.

This gaze made the young man of the Du family finally look at the boy in front of him, examined it for a long time, hooked an arc at the corner of his mouth, and then patted his hands.

The roof was silent, except for a speck of dust drifting down.

"Do you want to prove it?"

The boy lowered his head calmly: "Nature is needed." ”

"So, what do you want to do?"

"Don't be nervous, just ask you a few questions. The boy pulled out the shopkeeper's chairs and stools from the corner, and with a slight force, one of them slid to the young man of the Du family: "Sit and talk." ”

This kind of atmosphere made the young man of the Du family a little uncomfortable for a while, as if the identities of the two had fallen aside, and the name of his concubine was suppressed by a few words from the boy.

Taking the chair, he forced himself to sit down with that calm smile.

"First question. The boy also sat down, and hugged his swaddling clothes to his chest: "Ministers, ministers, ministers, soldiers......"

Four simple words made the ears of the young man of the Du family tremble slightly.

"What do you want to think of me?"

The thin and crude clothes, the unusual mannerisms, the indifferent expression, and the swaddling clothes that never leave the body, all these characteristics disappeared in the boy's heart at this time, and only the reflection of himself in the boy's eyes remained.

Ministers, ministers, ministers, and soldiers are not only the four levels of human ability, but also the embodiment of the social structure of the abandoned ship country, the pyramid system, on which there is only a unique word, a word that even he can't speak.

Emperor!

The heart is like a water pump, throbbing vigorously, and the surging sound is transmitted through the blood to the eardrum.

It was an inexplicable tremor!

Excitement, timidity, unimaginability, passionate longing, a myriad of complex emotions intermingled.

What does this boy mean exactly?
