Chapter 5 Dayuan Firm

The blue sky is like a huge sapphire suspended in the air, and there is not a trace of white clouds in the endless sky. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Pure blue takes over all the places.

A flock of black birds in the sky flew into the distance amid the chirping.

The breeze is gently blowing, and the weeds on the side of the road move with the wind. In a field by the side of the road, a teenager is leading a buffalo, and his father is working hard with a plow.

Lin Dong looked at everything around him and only felt that everything had changed too much in the past five years.

When I was ten years old, I was photographed by the deacon of the Sword Gate, and my aunt, who was living in poverty, had no choice but to agree. At that time, the carriage also passed through here, went to Tingjianmen, and became a disciple of Tingjianmen.

Now, farm children who are about the same age as themselves can help their families share a large part of the farm work when they are busy farming.

The horse under his crotch snorted and dragged Lin Dong's mind back. It's still a long way from Dayuan City, and I don't know if I can get back to my aunt's house before the Seedlings Festival.

Wobbly and slowly.

In this way, Lin Dong walked for another two or three days, and arrived at the boundary of the Qingming Mountain Range, as long as he went all the way to the north and reached the fracture of the mountain range, he could cross the entire mountain range, and he could soon cross the Qingming Mountain Range. After the Qingming Mountain Range, there is still one day left to reach Dayuan City.

There is a small town of Qingshan at the foot of Qingming Mountain, and the mountains are connected due to the vast terrain of the Qingming Mountain Range. Ordinary merchants and travelers will choose to rest here before entering the vast mountain.

The town is full of clamour. Here you can see the exquisite brocade robe of Dayuan City, and you can see the unique mountain delicacies of the Qingming Mountains, swift mushrooms. You can also see the iron blades from the Zhao Kingdom, but the asking price is extremely expensive.

Lin Dong felt the noise and prosperity of the world, which he couldn't feel when he had lived in the sect for a long time. Throughout the day, apart from cultivating and improving one's cultivation, there were no other memories of the life of the pure and bitter sect.

I found a random hotel and sat down to have some food and drinks. Lin Dong was also ready to rest here for a day before continuing his journey, if he could meet the caravan that was going to Dayuan City with him, pay some silver money, and bring it to himself, he could also save a lot of trouble.

Xiao Er brought a plate of sauced beef to the table and said politely: "Guest officer, your wine and food are all ready, please use it slowly!"

Lin Dong threw out a golden melon seed, and Xiao Er, who was quick-eyed, caught it at once, bit it with his teeth, and smiled, these high-rollers are rare, we must seize this opportunity!

Xiao Er asked respectfully, "My lord, what else do you have to order?" ”

Sure enough, it was easy to do things with money, Lin Dong took a bite of beef and asked, "Do you know what caravans are going to Dayuan City tomorrow?"

Xiao Er's eyes rolled, he thought for a moment and said, "My lord, but you want to take a caravan to Dayuan City?" If that's the case, Xiao suggests that it's not too late for you to wait for the recent period before setting off." ”

"Oh?

"Recently, the red-haired thieves in the Qingming Mountains have been particularly fierce, they used to take money without hurting their lives, but now it seems that the big boss is dead, and the second master is the master, which is a master who kills people without blinking. I heard that three or four small caravans had already been killed. Those big caravans are now sitting on the ground, and the cost is ridiculously high. Therefore, I also ask you to stay here for a few days, and wait for the majesty of the officials and soldiers to kill the bandits before setting out. ”

Lin Dong waved his hand, now that he is here, he is a matter of the world, and he has arranged his aunt's family, and this kind of thing is not worth mentioning for a person who has been born to cultivate: "Money is not a problem, you tell me, what will leave tomorrow." ”

"As far as the little one knows, the only ones who will travel tomorrow are the official firms of Dayuan City, and the Dayuan firms are one. The official business names are all low-eyed. I'm afraid that adults can't stand that bird anger. ”

Lin Dong threw out another golden melon seed to this little er, and waved his hand to make him retreat. After Xiao Er got the reward, he left with a smile.

Lin Dong touched the token of Tingjianmen in his arms, Tingjianmen has influence on the entire Qi country, and an official of this Dayuan City will definitely give face.

After eating and drinking, under the guidance of Xiao Er, Lin Dong led the horse and walked towards the largest Dayuan City official caravan at the meeting.

The officials and merchants of Dayuan City have a garrison mansion in the south of Qingshan Town, which is used to receive big people and negotiate business on weekdays.

The huge courtyard occupied as much as one street, and the janitor, dressed in clean short-shirted linen clothes, held water and fire sticks in his hands, and looked at the people walking in front of the courtyard gate with a proud face. If someone dares to take a few more looks, or stop and don't leave, the house slave with the water and fire stick will be beaten up without asking the reason.

Lin Dong secretly said, the servants here are so arrogant and rude. It seems that what the shopkeeper said also has some truth. It's just that I have a token of listening to the elders of the inner gate of the Sword Gate, and if the person in charge dares to play tricks with me, he will definitely have to suffer a lot.

"Who are you, what are you doing in my Dayuan firm, if you are passing by, please don't linger at the door. The servant holding the water and fire stick saw Lin Dong, who was leading the horse with a sword on his back and wearing a white robe, looking extraordinary, and he had the demeanor of a descendant of a big family when he walked, and he didn't dare to step forward to teach him a lesson.

Lin Dong took out the sword-shaped jade pendant, handed it to one of them, and said, "Take it to your people in charge here, who I am in the way of nature." ”

The servant holding the jade pendant hurriedly said yes, and hurriedly walked inside with the jade pendant in both hands.

Although these slaves guarding the door are unreasonable, but their eyesight is not bad, when the prince took out the jade pendant, he knew that this was not something that ordinary people could hold, it must be a big family, or a core disciple of a famous sect can have it.

Holding the jade pendant into the steward's room, just showed the jade pendant to the chief steward, the chief steward threw away the teacup in his frightened hand, but immediately shouted in a sharp voice: "Hurry up and clean up the house, prepare everything, and listen to the inner door elder of the sword gate to arrive!

Old Feng, you didn't disrespect that elder, did you!"

The old Feng who was the gatekeeper shook his head like a rattle.

"That's good, now come with me to greet the elders of the Sword Gate. After carefully arranging one side of his clothes, the chief steward took a few deep breaths to calm down and rub his face. With a perfect smile, he walked briskly towards the gate.

More than ten meters away, the chief steward saw Lin Dong who was waiting for news at the door, and he was shocked in his heart, so young? Could it be a disciple of the elder of the Sword Gate?

"Did you hear which elder of the Sword Sect was coming, I don't know if it was Elder Li or Elder Dong?"

Lin Dong knew very well what this fat man meant, if it weren't for the elders in person, just a junior holding a token, this fat man would definitely look down on him a lot. Although he is not an elder of the Sword Gate, he can still use a name.

"This is my jade plate. ”

This time it was the turn of the fat man in charge to be surprised, listening to the sword gate is a great faction of the Qi country, many demons and monsters that mortals can't deal with need them to annihilate, and the gold content of the elders is self-evident. Now, this young man who looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old had become the fourth elder of the Listening Sword Sect. This son must have extraordinary talents, and he can only be befriended, not evil.

"The villain has eyes but no beads, and he doesn't know your true face, elder. Sin deserves death!"

"It doesn't matter. Lin Dong took the jade pendant.

"That, you're ......"

"The villain's name is Zhang Defu, and he is the chief steward of Dayuan Firm, just call me Lao Zhang. Zhang Defu immediately answered and reported to the house.

Zhang Defu walked in front and said while bowing down to lead the way: "Elder, you are really young and promising, like the old man, I am just a stupid boy who knows how to eat at your age. ”

Lin Dong smiled and didn't say anything, he knew very well that when he said this, it was just for sycophancy, there was no nutrition, as long as he didn't say it was disgusting, he would go with him.

The hall is clean and bright, and a wisp of sandalwood is just right, and it can be seen that the hall has just been cleaned urgently, and the sandalwood has just been lit.

Under Zhang Defu's warm hospitality, Lin Dong sat on the main seat, while Zhang Defu and other small stewards sat under Lin Dong, constantly flattering Lin Dong.

Lin Dong took a sip of tea and put down the teacup, Zhang Defu was very eye-catching, and his years of experience in serving people told him. The elder seemed to have something to ask for, "Elder, if you have any orders, we will do our best to do it for you." ”

The other stewards at the head were also noisy and expressed their loyalty.

Since everyone else asked, Lin Dong naturally wouldn't be embarrassed to say it, and said generously: "I heard that the Dayuan firm will return to Dayuan City tomorrow, and I came here to take a ride." Go back to Dayuan City to visit relatives. ”

"I see, being able to walk with the elder is the persuasion of our third generation, but I didn't expect that the elder was also from Dayuan City. ”

"I left home to study art when I was young, but now I have completed my studies, and I have been back to visit my relatives since then. ”

"The elder attaches great importance to love and righteousness, which makes me admire him very much. ”

......

It's very boring to chat with a group of people who only know how to pat horses, no matter what Lin Dong says, they can always find a place for praise, and some words make Lin Dong feel disgusted.

But now there are requests for others, and these can endure it.

Zhang Defu saw that Lin Dong's face was not very good, and he also realized that his little stewards were a little too much. Immediately changed the topic and said: "Elder Lin has been traveling all the way, it is better to take you to rest first, and ask the elder to appreciate the wedding banquet for the elder in the evening." ”

Lin Dong is now a little impressed by this Zhang Defu, and when he is impatient, Zhang Defu's words always come just in time. His ability to observe words and emotions has been practiced to such a point, and he can be regarded as a talent.

Lin Dong, who was in a better mood, naturally said that he must be there, and then went to the guest room with Zhang Defu to rest.
