Chapter 278: Scraping the Ground

If you make a mistake, you must admit it, and if you are beaten, you must stand upright. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If you don't have this awareness, it's basically the life of a corpse on the street.

Obviously, the big man in front of Ye Xi and them now belongs to the kind of conscious one.

After hearing that the few people in front of him were retouchers from the academy, he decisively slapped himself, and sincerely admitted his mistakes.

Seeing this, the fat man who came up with a violent temper had no idea, and was about to wave his hand to let the other party go. On the side, Ye Xi looked at their outfits, and suddenly asked, "Where are you guys?"

Several big men were stunned when they heard this, and looked at each other, as if they were a little vigilant, and then the big man in the first place flattered and said: "Don't dare to pollute the ears of real people, a few small people are just fooling around on the nearby street, and they have no name......"

Ye Xi nodded his head when he heard this, and didn't say anything more.

Pan Fatzi waved his hand: "Okay, get out, next time you will put a bright spot!"

"Yes, yes, the real person teaches that the villain will get out. ”

Looking at the big men who couldn't stop bowing and running away quickly, Yang Ze frowned slightly: "What are they carrying in their arms...... It's supposed to be a short crossbow, right? When did the gangsters start playing this?"

Ye Xi was not the only one who noticed the abnormality, yes, the big men just now had a bulging waist in their waists, obviously not a thin machete, or not just a thin machete, but also another weapon, and then into the eyes of Ye Xi, who was used to playing with bows, and experienced Yang Ze, according to the slight bulging characteristics of their coats, they easily recognized that there was a small crossbow hidden underneath.

This is the problem, you need to know that crossbows and bows are two completely different concepts, the latter doesn't matter, just go out of the city to a farm hunter's house to find a few self-made longbows, but crossbows are different, this involves arms control, it is rarely circulated on the market, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have access to it.

Of course, snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths. If you come forward with gang strength, you can still get some crossbows. It's just that it's definitely not a lot, and they still like to use knives and fists to solve problems. But the big men just now, but their waists are bulging, and each of them has a handful.

This is unreasonable, and it is also the reason for Yang Ze's doubts.

However, Ye Xi knew that there was such a gang, and he used a crossbow to be unscrupulous, and he himself almost fell for it. That's right, it's the Asahi Kai who overthrew the Blood Sword Hall before. But that's in Nancheng District, and now it's Xicheng District, and it's a bit of a bit of a pole to beat...... Therefore, although he noticed that the big man's words just now were a little untrue, Ye Xi didn't pay too much attention to it.

"What!

Ye Xi didn't care, it didn't mean that others didn't care, Pan Fatzi was taken aback, and Qin Hanbing's expression on the side was also slightly awe-inspiring.

It's true that they are retouchers, but if they don't hold up the True Qi Mask in advance, the retouchers are actually not much different from mortals, especially at the near-close distance of Fang Cai, if they are shot through the vital point with a crossbow and arrow, then they will have to die!

In this way, thinking about his move to step forward with his sleeves just now, Pan Fatzi came out in a cold sweat, and yelled at Yang Ze with an ugly expression: "Why didn't you remind me just now?"

Yang Ze innocently spread his hands: "I'm not a member of your group now." ”

“...... !"

Ye Xi looked at it from the side and shook his head with a chuckle, he did it on purpose, it was better to experience it once than to say it a thousand times. If you don't let these greenhouse flowers know a little bit of power, you may get him into a lot of trouble in the trial. Although it is a little late to start to realize now, it is also a good thing to be able to raise a little vigilance if you are not happy and sharpen your guns......

Thinking like this, regardless of Pan Fatzi's resentment and fear, Ye Xi walked straight forward and pushed open the wooden door of the tavern.

Jingle bells.

"Come on, get out of here!"

"Shopkeeper Guo, is this your attitude towards entertaining guests?"

Behind the wooden counter, sat a thin old man who was puffing and puffing, skillfully wiping a dusty crystal goblet in his hand, and there was still a slight blush on his wrinkled old face that had just been violently scolded by others.

This person's name is Guo Di, but few people will call him that, and in another circle, everyone still likes to call him by his nickname, scraping the ground!

"Are you ......" looked at Ye Xi's green face a little familiar, but Guo still couldn't remember it at the first time.

Ye Xi gave a hint: "Snow-spotted black panther." ”

"It's you!"

I exclaimed, I have to say that the mission of the snow-spotted panther left a deep impression on Guo Di, not only because of the mission itself, but also because the young man in front of him, who looked like a young child, brought back a money bag embroidered with a flying eagle, which was the property of his old customer White Vulture, and since then, White Vulture and his group of capable subordinates have never appeared in the tavern again.

"Come to the bar, a bottle of green plums, a bottle of drunken horses. Shopkeeper Guo ...... "took Qin Hanbing and a few people to find a clean table and sat down at random, Ye Xi raised his hand and buckled the tabletop, looking at Guo Di, who was obviously in a trance, and shook his head helplessly, "Shopkeeper Guo, I will take someone to take care of business, but there is a big problem with your attitude." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. People are old, and their ears are bad. Prevaricating at will, Guo Di personally walked over with two bottles of wine. Of course, he didn't have a second call.

This is just a tavern, the area is limited, and when you sweep it away, except for Ye Xi and them, there are more than ten other empty small tables.

"Tsk, your business is a bit deserted. ”

It's only afternoon, strictly speaking, it's not yet the time for the tavern to officially open, but people who are addicted to alcohol are day and night, and this tavern is different from other ordinary taverns, it has another means of business, so it stands to reason that even in the afternoon, it shouldn't be so deserted that there is not a single customer.

"Hey, don't mention it, the sky has changed, and it may be closed in a while. ”

sighed loudly, and it could be seen that the shopkeeper Guo was really distressed, because he didn't ask for wine money first after he came over.

Subconsciously thinking of the big men who had just gone out, Ye Xi raised his eyebrows: "The sky has changed?

"It's not those who kill a thousand knives!" Guo Di vomited bitterly, "I don't know who the specific person is, and I don't know where it came from, but it's obviously a native of the East, but he wants to play the fake long-haired one, what kind of formal mercenary system to do, what mercenary guild to set up, and release tasks in a unified manner...... Now, just now, a few killers came and asked for the details of the business in my hand. Little brother, you also know what kind of business I do, isn't this ruining my job?

Playing so big?

Ye Xi just asked casually, and didn't pay much attention to it, but when he listened to it, he figured out that it was a rhythm to integrate resources, establish order, and engage in monopoly!

Of course, this has nothing to do with the purpose of his visit, but it is just that an intermediate broker like Guo Di suffers, and a small workshop cannot get an assembly line, which is a truth that has been proven countless times in all walks of life in the world. If the other party really integrates most of the resources, then this tavern is indeed very likely to close down.

Unless, really, it's just about buying and selling alcohol......

Shaking his head, after listening to some complaints, Ye Xi comforted a few words, and then turned to the topic: "Shopkeeper Guo, I'm here to ......"

"For the sake of the deal, I know. When it came to buying and selling business, Guo Di immediately changed, returned to his former shrewdness, glanced at Qin Hanbing and the others, and smiled and admired Ye Xi, "Little brother's vision is very accurate, the team is all up, just waiting to do this month's academy business and make a big profit, right?"

Blinked inexplicably, "Academy...... Buying and selling?"

Guo Di didn't hear Ye Xi's puzzled tone, and continued to sigh: "Most of the fake long-haired things are unreliable, but this Printing Academy is really a good thing, and it feeds a lot of people, including me." Hey...... Especially at this time of year, as soon as the academy holds any trial, my business list is like a snowflake, and I can't finish it. ”

After a pause, he leaned closer and smiled, "Little brother, it's rare that you still remember to take care of my business, if you don't say it, I will definitely pick a good deal for you......"

I'll go!

Ye Xi is not a stupid person, and neither are Qin Hanbing and the others, and when they heard the words, they instantly understood what was going on, and they looked at each other, a little confused...... Can you still play like this?

Yes, the academy only requires students to hand over a demon beast, and as for the source of the demon beast, they don't care, and they can't care about it. In this way, there is also room for operation, such as finding a broker like Guo Di to issue a task of hunting demon beasts, which is equivalent to spending money to buy a demon beast corpse......

"Ahem, shopkeeper Guo, wait a minute, let's discuss something. Turning his head, Ye Xi looked at Qin Hanbing and the others, and simply spread his hands, "What do you say?"

Since it is a team, of course, the opinions must be unified. Now there are two paths in front of you, one is that the original plan remains unchanged, continue to go out of the city and into the mountains to hunt demon beasts. The second is that they have also learned to issue a mission and let those mercenaries hunt for them.

The former takes risks, the latter breaks the money.

After being silent for a while, Fat Pan raised his arm: "Can I ask, how much does it cost to ask someone to hunt a demon beast of the middle rank of the Seal Master?"

Everyone looked at Guo Di together, and the latter was also a little pondering at this time, and was stunned: "You guys...... Are you a student of the Printing Academy?"

After a pause, he looked at Ye Xi and nodded, and asked in disbelief, "Little brother, are you too?"

Ye Xi stretched out his hands inexplicably: "Of course." ”

Guo Di subconsciously swallowed his saliva and muttered in a low voice: "When did the young children of the academy become so ruthless......

"What?"

"Oh, why. By the way, you just asked the demon beasts of the rank in the sealer...... Well, this price is not necessarily, it depends on whether the person who initiated the transaction understands it, generally speaking, about ten Indian coins. ”

Pan Fat Man was shocked: "So expensive?"

It is indeed not cheap, you need to know that the annual tuition fee of the college is only twenty coins, such as the previous Fengling sword, which is a low-grade treasure, is only eleven coins.

Ye Xi didn't show any surprise, and looked at Guo Di with a smile: "How much do you take from the shopkeeper?"

"Ahem, Sancheng, this is the rule of the trade. ”

The rules of the industry are thirty percent, but if you add the nickname of scraping the ground, it is estimated that it will be at least fifty percent. In other words, in fact, to hunt the mid-level demon beast of the sealer, only five coins are needed, which is the accurate price.

Of course, if you don't see it through, Ye Xi will not be a bad person. looked at Qin Hanbing and the others again: "Make a decision, trial, or invite someone to try?"

Pan Fatzi quickly swept his eyes left and right, his lips moved, as if he was talking to himself, and with a little encouragement: "Ten coins, we have five people, that is, one person and two coins......"

Well, although it was not explicitly stated, Pan Fatzi's attitude is undoubtedly obvious, that is, spending money to buy peace. This is also in line with the thinking logic of his business family - what can be solved with money, of course, is money.

However, at this time, Qin Hanbing, who had more money at hand, glared at him fiercely, because the former noticed that Xia Lian on the side had two palms under the table, ten fingers intertwined, pinched tightly, quite cramped.

On average, there are not many coins printed for one person, but not everyone can afford them, or are willing to afford them.

Immediately raised his palm: "I'm in favor of the trial! Isn't it just a mid-level demon beast of a seal master, there are five of us, or five seal cultivators, what are you afraid of?"

In a sense, Qin Hanbing is indeed a qualified leader, because he knows how to take care of the feelings of the people around him.

Ye Xi raised his hand to second, he also saw Xia Lian's crampedness, but this was not a factor affecting his decision. In fact, Ye Xi insisted on testing in person from beginning to end, not that he couldn't afford two printed coins, but he was completely reluctant to give them out!

What are you kidding, two printed coins, how many days does this have to be the flow of water in the medical hall?

If the money came out, he wouldn't have the face to go back to see the little money fan......

The third person who raised her hand was Zhu Wan'e, the origin of this one is actually not simple, similar to Qin Hanbing, they are all children of powerful people, but her family is not in Yeli City.

Therefore, Zhu Wan'e is not short of coins, and she raised her hand not to see Xia Lian's embarrassment, but because Qin Hanbing raised her hand. Well, that's right, she is a little interesting to Qin Hanbing, and the two are also a good match. If Qin Hanbing agrees, I believe that the two are likely to come together after graduation. However, from the current point of view, Qin Hanbing does not mean this, maybe, probably, maybe her appearance is not high......

In a group of five, three people agree, then it's decided.

Without looking at Pan Fatzi's expression that became bitter in an instant, Ye Xi turned his head to look at Guo Di: "We need a copy of the information of the demon beasts of the Ancient Mountain Range, let's make a price." ”

Buying information, this is the real intention of Ye Xi to come here. The reason why the Ancient Mountains were chosen instead of the Misty Swamp is simple, the former is less affected by the Pig teammates than the complex environment of the latter......

Guo Di didn't care whether Ye Xi issued a task or tried it in person, as long as there was a deal to do, he smiled: "Chenghui, fifty taels of gold." ”

Ye Xi glared: "Why don't you grab it!"

"Look at what you said, little brother, who can I rob with old arms and legs. This is already the price of acquaintances, and I need to know that I also spent a lot of money to get this information, and it is stained with the blood of countless people......"

Ye Xi was dizzy when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt: "Don't talk useless, it's cheaper." ”

"This ...... Okay!" Guo first had the pain of being chopped flesh on his face, "Who let you be the little brother, I don't bargain at all for others, so the price is ...... Forty-nine taels of gold, absolutely nothing less!"

“...... Shopkeeper, are you serious?"

......

Facts have proved that there is only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname, and the scraping of the ground really deserves its name. No matter how Ye Xi and the professionals who joined later, Pan Fatzi, negotiated the price, the price of forty-nine taels of gold was so bad that he died, and in the end, he had no choice but to pay for it.

Of course, this money is not from Ye Xi, but from Pan Fatzi, he is also willing, if he wants to hug his thighs without paying a price, what can he do?

Five hundred taels of silver tickets were handed over and exchanged for a booklet.

Turning his hand and handing the booklet to the back, Pan Fatzi stared at Guo Di, who was smiling, and stretched out his hand angrily: "What are you doing in a daze, looking for money?"

"Looking for what money?"

Pan Fat Man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed angrily: "Ha, play a scoundrel, right?" Forty-nine taels of gold, four hundred and ninety taels of silver, and I will give you five hundred taels of silver...... Why do you want to slander people?!"

Guo Di spread his hands and smiled innocently: "A bottle of green plum wine, a bottle of lying horse drunk, ten taels of silver is just right." The small shop is in legitimate business, and the children are not deceived. ”

“......”

Pan Fatty, kneel.
