This time, Shang Xiuyun didn't pay attention to pomp and circumstance, and the whole team entered the city in the name of the caravan, and then walked along the city wall, which was quite low-key. There is a considerable distance between the city wall and the downtown area, Zhang Feng walked in the team, tiptoeing from time to time to look, and finally did not see any fame.

After walking for a long time, the team came to a large mansion 100 meters square, and after entering, he recognized that it was actually a warehouse, and the yard was full of all kinds of goods, and even some rooms were piled up with goods, which looked chaotic.

The walkers were very familiar with this place, and without waiting for the bald uncle's instructions, they all coded the goods they brought to various places according to the categories, and then went to the account room to line up to receive the payment, and even the slaves could get some of it, but the amount was very small.

In the past, this should be the happiest time for the husbands, but the casualties were so tragic that many people didn't even have a smile on their faces after receiving the money.

The bald uncle, who had walked unhindered, stood under a big tree in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, looking at the men queuing up outside the door of the account room, feeling very uncomfortable, and sighed repeatedly.

The Ninth Young Master stood silently beside him for a moment, and suddenly said: "The catastrophe encountered on this trip is due to Xiuyun and Ling'er's burden, you go and talk to the people in the account room, but for the dead and wounded, the pension will be paid three times, the reward for those who are safe will be doubled, and the slaves will be paid according to the standard of free people." ”

The bald uncle hesitated, and the ninth young master said lightly: "The excess part will be paid by me, you let the account room verify the amount, and I will send someone to send the money over later." Then the bald uncle thanked him and went into the account room, and soon the husbands cheered, and finally had some usual joy.

The Ninth Young Master didn't stay in the mansion for too long, and left with his two younger sisters and the guards that day, and took the two stunned people with him.

Before leaving, the second stunned man specially said goodbye to Zhang Feng, and said with a smile: "I won't go to the Fire Country to be an official, Young Master Shang will take me directly to the Muguo Xiude Academy, he said that I am a guest of the merchant, and the entire Shang family will protect me." ”

Zhang Feng felt incredible, and couldn't understand why the ninth young master of the merchant took such a fancy to this simple and stupid big brother Yi.

However, since Brother Yi can climb such a backer, it is a happy thing after all, he said with a smile: "I am also about to go to the Xiude Academy, you walk ahead, I will go to you to meet you in a few days, and we can take care of each other." ”

After saying that, he took out a piece of purple gold leaf, handed it to the second stunned man, and admonished: "Brother Yi, you can exchange this thing for a million coins wherever you go to any bank." Now the people of the merchant value you, you may not worry about the money, but there is no guarantee that they will not leave you in the future, and then the money will be just enough for you to cope with some days. Put it away, and put it out when you need it. ”

The second stunned did not shirk, smiled and put the purple gold leaf into his arms, and then gossiped with him, and left.

Zhang Feng looked at the back of the stunned man and couldn't help but feel sad. Although there are not many opportunities for him to talk to Ertunzi because of the different treatment along the way, but after all, Ertunzi is the only fellow in the outside world after he left Cliff City, and now that he is suddenly separated, he will inevitably feel lonely.

Fortunately, there is still a bald uncle, and he will not fall to the point of being unaccompanied.

However, three days later, even the bald uncle was about to part ways with him.

At that time, the bald uncle had just taken him to watch a lively gladiatorial match, and the two came to a tavern together, ordered a few side dishes, and two pots of wine. After drinking for a while, the bald uncle suddenly said apologetically: "Boy, your bald uncle promised you to take care of you after you go to the outside world, but now that things have changed, I'm afraid I will break my promise." ”

When Zhang Feng heard this, he was so shocked that he almost squirted out the wine he had just poured in his mouth.

He was about to ask what was going on, when Uncle Bald Head continued: "Miss Seventh recommended me to Young Master Nine to be a retainer of their family in Mu Kingdom, she was in the caravan these days, I have spoken against her many times, but I didn't expect her to be so open-minded, not only did she not hold grudges, but also helped me fight for such a good errand." ”

Zhang Feng asked casually, "Did you promise her?"

The bald uncle nodded, took a glass of wine, drank it all, and sighed: "I have been walking in the southern wilderness for many years, and I am quite unambitious, this is indeed a rare opportunity for me." ”

After a pause, he glanced at Zhang Feng and smiled dryly, "Boy, I originally wanted to take you to Mu Country with me, just to send you to Xiude Academy, but the Ninth Young Master has an order that no one from the merchant will have any dealings with you in the future." As subordinates, we often can't help ourselves. I hope you can understand your bald uncle and don't blame me. ”

Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "This Ninth Young Master also has too much heart, even if I am devoured by the soul, who can I harm? Not to mention that I am now sober, and I will not harm people's hearts." He doesn't remember my kindness in saving his sister, but he wants revenge and traps me in a helpless situation. ”

The bald uncle said: "The reason why the Ninth Young Master has this command is that the matter of soul devouring is secondary. When he was in Ghost Valley, he once said that your biological father was Qin Ao, who assassinated the Seven Elders of the Diren Gang, and this was what worried the Ninth Young Master the most. If you stay by your side, the Diren Gang will come to seek revenge in the future, and handing you over is a sign of weakness, and if you don't pay, you will have a grudge, which can be described as a dilemma. ”

Zhang Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and defended: "If my father is really so powerful, how can he leave me in Cliff City for so many years and don't ask? Uncle Bald, let me tell you the truth, my father is not a cultivator at all, and he has died a long time ago, and my father told me this matter himself." ”

Uncle Bald Head disagreed, and said with a straight face: "Stinky boy, how can the husband of the host of the beast be an ordinary person? Even if I am willing to believe you, how can the Ninth Young Master be deceived by you? I have to remind you that in the future, if you have to do it as a last resort, don't show that ability to be immune to mental power, otherwise you will be seen by others, and you will definitely cause a big disaster." ”

Zhang Feng no longer argued, drank two glasses of wine irritably, and then sat in a daze, silent for a long time.

Uncle Bald knew that he was uncomfortable, and comforted him with kind words: "Boy, don't worry too much, as long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, no one will harm you for no reason all over the world." Your bald uncle used to travel alone when he was your age, and he didn't come here so unscathed. ”

Zhang Feng nodded blankly, and muttered: "Okay, I'll walk alone, it's more neat, tomorrow I will find a big city, and go to the Muguo Xiude Academy through the teleportation array." ”

The teleportation array is a mysterious array built by the people of the Shui Kingdom in this piece of heaven and earth, and it can be passed between any two arrays in an instant. The history of this thing is only a few hundred years, but it has long become an indispensable dependence for people to travel long distances, even in the remote Cliff City, the map in the calligraphy and painting shop has made special marks for the teleportation array, so when Zhang Feng was helpless, he inadvertently thought of this kind of thing.

After making up his mind, his mood gradually brightened, and a smile resurfaced on his pale face like snow.

However, Uncle Bald's next words made his smile freeze immediately.

"The Ninth Young Master asked me to tell you that Shen Zhu had already left Xiude Academy half a year ago and went to the penal colony, and if you go to Xiude Academy now, it may be difficult to meet Shen Zhu in a few years. ”
