Chapter 61: The Gap

Zheng Haotian's eyes couldn't help but glance at her twice.

In fact, there was no delusion in his heart, but this woman's voice was filled with an irresistible magic for some reason. As long as you listen to her voice, you will have a feeling that you will never forget, and the more you listen to it, the more you want to hear it.

That's why Zheng Haotian made such a not-so-solemn action, and couldn't help but pay more attention.

And although Yu Jiansheng also has the same thoughts, after all, the richness of his experience is far from being comparable to Zheng Haotian, and his age does not allow him to do such a transgressive thing, so he can endure it stubbornly.

The middle-aged man known as the big shopkeeper smiled and said, "Miss Qiu, don't worry, as long as there is news, we will be the first to notify the Qiu family." ”

Miss Qiu smiled and went downstairs accompanied by another old man.

The big shopkeeper turned around, and those sharp eyes like lightning suddenly fell on Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian. Behind him was Jiang Qiufeng, who brought them up.

Although this shopkeeper has a very high status in Wanbaoxuan, standing in front of the big shopkeeper at this time, he is standing with his hands solemn, his face is calm, his eyes are not squinting, and he is silent.

Thinking of the steward Yue Kejiang who didn't even have the qualifications to enter this place, you can imagine how strict and terrifying the rules in Wanbaoxuan are.

"The old man is Qi Jiaming, the big shopkeeper of Wanbaoxuan in Xixi City, I don't know what to call the two?"

The essence in this person's eyes flashed away, but in this short moment, Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian both had a strange feeling in their hearts that they were completely seen through by each other.

The uncle and nephew glanced at each other, and their hearts were full of surprise. Although they still can't see how Qi Jiaming's cultivation is, one thing is absolutely certain, that is, this person's martial arts cultivation is strong, and he is definitely far above the two of them.

Beginner hunters are naturally a formidable existence in Dalin Village, but when they come here, they seem to have become unremarkable.

"Old decay Yu Jiansheng, this is the old nephew Zheng Haotian. Yu Jiansheng hurriedly bent down and bowed.

Qi Jiaming nodded slowly and said, "It turned out to be Brother Yu and Little Brother Zheng." ”

Yu Jiansheng smiled bitterly again and again, and said: "The old man is just a hunter in Dalin Village, and he doesn't dare to be your title as the big shopkeeper." ”

Qi Jiaming's gaze glanced at Zheng Haotian's hand, and said slowly: "Deserve it." ”

Although these three words are not fast or heavy, they have their own power, which makes people dare not disobey.

"Come in, two. He turned around and walked inside, while Jiang Qiufeng took the first step to lift the door curtain and respectfully ushered them into the room.

Qi Jiaming waved his hand and said, "Prepare a table for me, I want to feast two guests today." ”

Jiang Qiufeng responded respectfully, lowered his head and retreated, from beginning to end, the shopkeeper behaved like a slave, which made Zheng Haotian and the others puzzled.

As if seeing their doubts, Qi Jiaming smiled slightly and said, "Since Little Brother Zheng has a white jade ring on his hand, then he is not an outsider. To be honest, in Wanbaoxuan, there is only one old man who is not a local. ”

Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian looked at each other, neither of them understood the meaning of this sentence.

Isn't it true that the identity and status of the locals are far above these locals? Not to mention that Zheng Haotian can't figure it out, even Yu Jiansheng, who has some knowledge, is confused.

Qi Jiaming shook his head slowly and said, "Little Brother He, this matter is not a secret. If you can go to ...... in the future," his voice suddenly paused, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face, and said, "Don't talk about this matter, I haven't asked for advice yet, where did the white jade ring in Brother Zheng's hand come from?"

When Qi Jiaming said this, he stretched out his hand intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian's eyes fell on his fingers at the same time, and there, there was also an inconspicuous white jade ring.

This kind of ordinary ring would be a good match if it was worn on the fingers of ordinary people, but it would be a little interesting to wear it on the big shopkeeper who was in charge of the entire Wanbaoxuan.

Zheng Haotian was stunned for a moment, and also stretched out his hand. Judging from the appearance alone, the two rings are not much different.

Zheng Haotian said in surprise: "It turns out that the big shopkeeper also has such a white jade ring. ”

Qi Jiaming smiled bitterly and said, "Little brother said that it was funny, this ring in the old man's hand is only used to prove his identity, and it is definitely not comparable to the one in your hand." ”

Zheng Haotian was hesitant in his heart, listening to this person's tone, it seemed that there was an unknown power in this white jade ring. In fact, he didn't know that if it weren't for the magical power in the ring to protect him, he would almost inevitably lose with the White-Eyed Wolf King, and even die together.

Qi Jiaming's words suddenly changed, and he began to introduce the status of Wanbaoxuan in and around the city.

As Yu Jiansheng thought, although Wanbaoxuan is not one of the four major forces in Luxi City, they have been operating for thousands of years, and the potential forces are also deep-rooted, even the four major forces in the city are unwilling to really be enemies with them.

However, what really shocked Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian was that Qi Jiaming's words revealed something incredible.

Among the four major forces in the city, except for one of which is composed entirely of locals, the other three, as well as Wan Bao Xuan, seem to have a larger force behind them.

Of course, when Qi Jiaming said this, his words flickered, and he only revealed an unclear information, but did not directly pick it out.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Qiufeng came up again and invited them to a courtyard in the backyard.

In the courtyard, there was already a table of banquets properly organized. Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian glanced at each other, and they were quite surprised in their hearts.

On the wine table, there are ten cold dishes, all of which are exquisite and chic, and the fragrance is fragrant, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to be done in a hurry. They looked at each other, and they were thinking about it in their hearts, could it be that this person had foresight?

However, they didn't know that for a figure like Qi Jiaming, exquisite dishes would be prepared in the kitchen at any time, and they could be taken out and eaten in the shortest possible time when he gave the order. Once the ingredients are no longer fresh, they are disposed of as garbage. Such a waste of luxury is far from what they can imagine.

Qi Jiaming sat down at the main seat and invited them to dine courteously, but at this table, except for the three of them, there was no one else to accompany them. Even Jiang Qiufeng was just standing behind Qi Jiaming, listening without squinting.

After three rounds of drinking, Qi Jiaming suddenly asked: "Brother Zheng, the old man was negligent, but he forgot to ask, where did the white jade ring in your hand come from?"

Yu Jiansheng also turned his head, everything that happened today brought him a great shock, a white jade ring could actually let them get the treatment of guests in Wanbaoxuan. And what surprised him even more was that even he didn't know how Zheng Haotian got this white jade ring.

Zheng Haotian hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior, this ring was given to me by a friend. ”

Qi Jiaming said slowly: "I don't know if your friend is ......"

Zheng Haotian said loudly: "Her surname is Xi." ”

Qi Jiaming's eyes lit up slightly, and Jiang Qiufeng, who was standing behind him, trembled involuntarily. Obviously, Zheng Haotian's answer was greatly unexpected by him.

"Haha, sure enough. Qi Jiaming laughed loudly, and after half a sound, he said: "Brother, I thought you would find me in the shortest possible time, but what I didn't expect was that you dragged on for a whole month." Hehe, if you don't want to sell the white-eyed wolf king skin this time, I'm afraid that my brother may not come to the door. ”

Zheng Haotian smiled and said, "It's not good to come to the door to nag for nothing." ”

Qi Jiaming waved his hand and said, "My brother is too polite." He clapped his hands and walked in from outside the courtroom, holding a wooden box in both hands.

Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian's faces changed slightly, this wooden box was brought by them.

Qi Jiaming pushed the box in front of them and said, "Brother, you have a lot to do with our Wanbaoxuan, if you need money, just open your mouth and command." There are 10,000 taels of silver in this box, if it is not enough, you can just come and get it. With a sincere smile on his face, he said, "As for this white-eyed wolf king skin, we can't accept it." ”

Zheng Haotian's face changed slightly, and his mind clearly remembered what Xi Yuting said when they separated.

If he encounters any unsolvable difficulties, he can go to Manpowere to seek help from the treasurer.

Now the big shopkeeper is ten thousand taels of silver as soon as he makes a move, and judging by his attitude, he seems to be disdainful of these silver. It can be seen that this person's ability is far from what he can imagine.

Inhaling deeply, for some reason, Zheng Haotian at this time not only did not have any joy, but had a faint sense of loss.

It turns out that the gap between myself and others is so far away and incredible.

He stood up, pushed the box over without hesitation, and said, "Big shopkeeper, I, Zheng Haotian, have hands and feet, and everything I earn is enough to support myself." If you refuse to accept the white-eyed wolf king skin, then we will have to find another buyer. ”

Qi Jiaming was stunned for a moment, and a trace of embarrassment couldn't help but appear on his face.

If someone else had rejected his kindness, he might have turned his face and killed him on the spot. But glancing at the white jade ring on Zheng Haotian's hand, his heart was cold, and this thought suddenly dissipated without a trace, and he didn't dare to come out again.

ps: Sorry, I went out today and just got home, so I was a little late, sweaty......
