The sudden voice startled Wang Xiaotian. He suppressed the shock in his heart and slowly turned his head to look over.

The one who spoke was a small man in a washed white blue coat, black trousers, and old black cloth shoes. His hair was gray and thin, the wrinkles on his face were extremely deep, as if they had been carved by a knife, and he held an eight-inch cigarette pouch in his mouth, a jade mouth, a white copper pot, and an ebony rod.

This person is none other than the castle owner of Wind Wolf Castle, "Green Wolf" Tuoba Lev. However, Wang Xiaotian didn't know him. Looking at his dress, I thought he was an ordinary old man. But can an ordinary old man approach him without him noticing?

Seeing Wang Xiaotian turn his head over, Tuoba Lev bit the cigarette holder and grinned, revealing only a few black and yellow teeth left. He asked again, "Are you interested in this?"

Wang Xiaotian saw that Tuoba Lev had no malicious intentions, so he nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Why?" asked Tuobarev.

Wang Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "Because, education is an effective way to inherit civilization. And the school is the best vehicle for education. With schools, civilization can be passed on. ”

Tuoba Lefu was stunned for a moment, and said, "I can't see that you are young, and you actually talk about the Tao." However, you find that no, this place is only cultural education. There is no spiritual education. You say, educate them, what can they do in the future? Isn't it a waste of time and money?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Old man, you are biased when you say this. Not to mention anything else, in such a big Wind Wolf Castle, how many people come in every day, how many people go out, how much tax revenue is from entering the city, how many people eat, drink, and how much they need to spend, someone has to settle accounts and keep accounts, right?"

Tuobarev nodded and said, "There is some truth in what you said. However, ten or eight people can do these things. Is it worth that much? There are at least ten of these schools in Windwolf Castle. ”

Wang Xiaotian said: "Being able to keep accounts and settle accounts is only the simplest use of learning knowledge. With so much labor in Stormwolf Castle, it was perfectly possible to find a way to make something. ”

Tuoba Lev asked, "Wind Wolf Castle is located in the desert, except for some game, basically nothing is produced, even the food is purchased from the reserve, what do you think is appropriate to make something?"

Wang Xiaotian asked, "There are no mines around here?"

Tuobarev shook his head, "No. ”

Wang Xiaotian thought for a while, and then asked: "With such a big open space outside the fort, can you grow things like wheat and cotton?"

Tuobarev shook his head and said, "There is only three months without water shortage here, and the remaining nine months are without water. Wheat and cotton have been tried to grow, but they have not succeeded. ”

Wang Xiaotian thought for a moment again and asked, "What about raising cattle and sheep?"

Tuobarev said, "That's fine. We also raised some. However, there are too many wolves nearby, and many free-range cattle and sheep will be killed by wolves. In the case of intensive rearing, forage becomes a problem again. ”

Wang Xiaotian asked, "Don't you castle lords have any ideas to clear out the wolves?"

Tuoba Leev nodded and said, "I have purged many times. However, the wolves are very cunning, and as soon as they find the men and horses in the fort, they immediately scatter and flee. Clean-up operations are often futile. ”

Wang Xiaotian pinched his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "This can't be done, that's not possible, I'm really worried about your castle master, how did he survive after so many years?"

Tuobarev sighed and said, "How can you hold on? ”

Wang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "You know him very well?"

Tuobarev nodded and said, "Very familiar." Familiar like a person. ”

Wang Xiaotian asked, "Then what is your castle master's attitude towards these schools?"

Tuoba Lev thought for a moment and said, "He said that although it is useless to learn this cultural knowledge, it is not good to know how to write his name

In vain these years of food. Let's learn first. ”

Wang Xiaotian said with a smile: "The castle lord really said that? You are not deliberately arranging him, are you? He is such a powerful castle master, a hegemon, will calculate the food that these children will eat in a few years? He himself spends less time and drinks twice, doesn't he have everything?"

Tuobarev grinned and said, "He never spends a lot of time drinking. He eats, wears, and uses the same food as an ordinary burger. Except for holidays and his birthday, he never drank alcohol. ”

Wang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know everything?"

Tuoba Leev said: "It's nothing to know this, which of the people in the fort doesn't know which one doesn't know?"

Wang Xiaotian asked, "Then what else do you know about the castle master?"

Tuobarev thought for a while and said, "I also know that he is single-minded and not a woman." In the thirty-five years since the death of his original wife, he has never been close to any woman. ”

Wang Xiaotian said: "Oh. This must be a well-known thing in the fort, right? You two, since you are as good as one person, can you say something that others don't know?"

Tuobarev spread his hands and said, "What do you want to know? How many hairs does he have? Or does he have six toes?"

Wang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and said, "You all know this, the relationship between the two of you is too good, right?"

Tuoba Lev smiled: "You little slippery head, pretending to be confused. Actually, you already know, don't you?"

Wang Xiaotian was puzzled and said, "What do you know?"

Tuoba Lev looked at Wang Xiaotian with a blank expression, not sure whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, but the words had already been said about this, and it would be too shameless to turn around in circles any further, so he had to say helplessly: "The old man is Tuoba Levf." ”

Wang Xiaotian was startled, and immediately came to his senses, and said, "It turns out that you are the master of Tuoba Castle." Just now, it was really rude, and I ask the castle owner to forgive me. ”

Tuoba Leev waved his hand and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty." Boy, are you Wang Xiaotian?"

Wang Xiaotian was surprised and said, "The castle master knows me?"

Tuoba Lev listened and grabbed Wang Xiaotian's hand, and said with a smile: "Get rich, get rich!"

Wang Xiaotian was surprised and hurt by the hand he was holding, and hurriedly said, "Castle master, tap, tap." ”

Tuoba Lev shook it, originally wanting to test Wang Xiaotian's strength, but after a try, he had a bottom in his heart, and let go of his hand and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited, I'm out of shape." ”

Wang Xiaotian rubbed his palms, secretly thinking in his heart, just now he deliberately shouted in pain, I don't know if Tuoba Lev saw the flaw? He is alone, Tuoba Lev is strong, and he doesn't know Tuoba Lev's purpose, so he has to guard against it.

Wang Xiaotian asked, "Castle Master, what did you just say that you made a fortune, what is going on?"

Tuobarev said, "You don't know?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Tuoba Lefu said: "Some time ago, news came from the Eastern Chu Kingdom that you suddenly disappeared, and someone offered a huge bounty to find your whereabouts. If you can be sent back to the western capital of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, the bounty will be doubled. ”

Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but ask, "How much is the bounty?"

Tuoba Leev held up a finger and said, "A reward of one million gold coins will be awarded for providing accurate clues." Escort back to the Eastern Chu Kingdom, with a bounty of two million?"

"How much?!" Wang Xiaotian himself was surprised. Who is so generous? Is his master Zhou Ziheng?

Tuoba Lefu smiled: "You're scared too, aren't you? Tsk, this time, Chen Yiping is really generous." ”

"Who?" Wang Xiaotian immediately became alert.

Tuoba Lev said: "Force Grandmaster Chen Yiping. ”

Wang Xiaotian was puzzled and said, "No, why does he want to reward me with a huge amount of money for my whereabouts? Where am I, does it have anything to do with him?"

”

Tuoba Lev was also a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Are you familiar with Chen Yiping?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I've never seen it." A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately asked, "There is no reward for anyone other than me?"

Tuobarev nodded, "Yes." There is also a bounty for Cheng Yunshi's whereabouts, and the bounty is twice as high as yours. In addition, there is also a bounty called Ye Zhanjian's whereabouts, and his bounty is much less, only 100,000. ”

Wang Xiaotian somewhat understood in his heart now. On the same day, Cheng Yunshi lost her temper and left, but Zhang Zijing did not catch up with her (or is there another reason?). And it just so happened that he and Ye Jianjian were also taken away by Xuanying, and the others linked these two things together. Chen Yiping was eager to save the disciples, so he issued a high reward.

However, why is his reward ten times that of Ye Zhanjian? His own strength is much worse than Ye Zhanjian, if Chen Yiping wants to get Cheng Yunshi's clues by rewarding them, then his reward will be equal to Ye Zhanjian at most, not ten times that of him!

A thought suddenly popped up in Wang Xiaotian's mind, "Chen Yiping, an old thing, won't suspect that he eloped with Cheng Yunshi, right?"

"Although I am the weakest, I have contributed the most in this expedition. Not only was he authorized to enter and leave the underworld freely, but he also had the trust of Mr. Bafsky. If you elope with Cheng Yunshi, you will have a safe place to stay in the Great Wilderness. ”

"But, no. Even if Hu Minghui and Zhang Zijing don't tell the truth (he has always been wary of the two of them), Ding Sicong and Sergeant Lu can't open their eyes and tell nonsense. ”

"Could it be that Ding Sicong and the others must have been coerced by Hu Minghui and Zhang Zijing, and had to stand on the side of Zhang and Hu? Or, even if Ding Sicong and Sergeant Lu spoke for themselves, they were soft-spoken and not trusted by Chen Yiping?"

"So, what should I do now? It was Chen Yiping who posted the reward, and if Tuoba Lev wanted to get the reward, he would definitely have to send himself to Chen Yiping. If it falls into the hands of Chen Yiping, won't he be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?"

However, if he didn't go to Chen Yiping, there was a good chance that Tuoba Lev would not agree. This old guy looks like he is obsessed with money, and he will definitely not let go of the windfall. What should I do?"

Tuoba Lefu looked at it, Wang Xiaotian's face was uncertain and preoccupied, and said with a smile: "When you hear the name Chen Yiping, are you scared?"

Wang Xiaotian hurriedly shook his head, "No." I just don't understand why he's offering a bounty on my whereabouts. ”

Tuoba Lev laughed and said: "You are still pretending to be confused! Now it has been spread all over the world, saying that you have abducted his precious apprentice, and you are living in the wilderness, and you are very affectionate! Hahahaha. ”

"Chen Yiping, this old boy, a handful of old bones, the loess is buried in his eyebrows, and he still spends his heart on dying, coveting the beauty of other people's little girls, I am really not ashamed! I haven't seen him, and when I see him, I have to shame him in person. Boy, dare to snatch love from the eighth-level Force Grandmaster, there is a future! ”

Wang Xiaotian made a bitter face and said, "Castle Master, look at me like this, where can I kidnap Cheng Yunshi? Besides, if I kidnap her, how can I appear in your Wind Wolf Castle alone?"

Tuoba Lefu thought for a moment, felt that it made sense, and asked, "If you hadn't kidnapped the little girl, then where would she have gone? Also, where have you been these days? Why did you suddenly appear in my Wind Wolf Castle?"

Wang Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "Castle Master, this matter involves a wide range of things, and some things are simply incredible, even if I tell you, I'm afraid you will think I'm crazy." ”

Tuoba Lefu said: "The old man has lived for almost three hundred years, and he has never seen anything strange? ”

Wang Xiaotian pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "Castle Master, do you know Xuanying among the explorers?"
