Volume 2 The Remnant of Time Chapter 32 One Hundred Secrets and One Neglect
When Li Guanshui and a group of people walked away, Chu Qingxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked back at Tsukimi.
The girl blinked, a little puzzled by Chu Qingxiao's gaze.
"Why are you staring at me?"
Chu Qingxiao said strangely: "You were right just now. ”
Forty percent of two hundred and twenty taels of silver is eighty-eight taels, and this algorithm is much more difficult than how many days there are in half a month, and how much is half of three thousand.
Yuejian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I've been like this since I was a child, and what I can't calculate on weekdays can be counted correctly when I'm nervous." ”
"It's you, who looks thick eyebrows and big eyes, and when you lie, your face is not red and you don't panting, no wonder the female disciples of Hanging Mountain were deceived by you that day."
Chu Qingxiao scratched his head and explained: "When I was a child, I was greedy for fun, and I often missed the school's homework with Nianshuang, so I can't find a way to fool Mr. Over time, I gained some experience. ”
Yuejian glanced at Chu Qingxiao: "What about the frost?" You're too deep into the play! ”
"People are a round older than you, and you weren't born when she was a child!"
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he realized that he had said the wrong thing for a while, and he didn't explain, but said: "I don't know if that guy can come back to his senses, let's hurry up and get the martial soul seal, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
Yuejian also knew that this was the most important thing now, and when he heard this, he nodded, and walked towards the other side of the street with Chu Qingxiao.
……
"Although it is true that he has been deceived, if the Martial Spirit Seal can be sold for a good price, it can support it for a while, but if it is a long time, the extra expenses of thirty taels per month are not a small amount." Walking on the crowded streets of Night Python City, Yuejian began to muttered a little worriedly again.
Chu Qingxiao hesitated for a while when he heard this, but decided to say what he thought.
"Actually, what I said to Li Guanshui is not all false."
"Zhao Zhao once said that her grandfather was an alchemist who was proficient in the art of medicine and stone, and she also knew something about it, and she felt that it was feasible to condense the red blood worm into a blood coagulation pill."
"If it can be successful, it can bring a lot of income to Goshawk Village every month, and if it goes well, relying on the money of the Martial Spirit Seal, it can be used as the start-up capital for this matter.
Chu Qingxiao said with a rising face, but Yuejian, who heard this, suddenly fell silent, and only looked at Chu Qingxiao after a while, and said calmly: "I don't trust anyone in Tianhang Mountain......"
Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, and also remembered that Yuejian had a grudge against Tianhang Mountain, and all kinds of signs showed that this grudge was so deep that it seemed to be difficult to resolve.
Of course, he can say a lot of big truths such as when is the time for retribution, or the fault of Tianhang Mountain has nothing to do with Chu Zhaozhao, to promote this matter.
But after thinking about it, Chu Qingxiao put away such thoughts.
He could probably understand Tsukimi's feelings.
He is still haunted by the fact that the imperial court did not care about Wuling City twelve years ago, and even sometimes he secretly thinks that if he has the opportunity, he really wants to grab the shirt of the great Yu Tianzi and ask him loudly, why he would let Wuling City go unattended twelve years ago.
Although the emperor who sat in the court twelve years ago and the current emperor are no longer the same person, Chu Qingxiao still wants to ask him for an answer.
With this obsession, no matter how much others say it, it will be difficult to suppress the unspeakable meaning in the chest after all.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingxiao smiled and said: "It's okay if the girl doesn't want to, I haven't said anything yet, you can tell Li Guanshui that this matter is stranded because the red blood worm is difficult to be refined into an elixir, he just deliberately makes it difficult, and he can probably get it with some money, it's better than giving away the martial soul seal, isn't it?" ”
Chu Qingxiao's change of attitude was beyond Yuejian's expectations, she couldn't help but glance at the young man more, then nodded and said no more.
……
There are three major black markets in Nightmarrow City.
Ghost heads, wild horses, black pythons.
According to the information provided by Huang Quxiang, Guitou City is a territory for human trafficking, and there are slaves who sell themselves, people who have been taken captive from various channels, and even some puppets controlled by secret methods. Li Guanshui and his entourage were in a hurry, and it seemed that they were rushing to buy slaves for the Ghost Crow Village.
Chu Qingxiao and Yuejian were naturally not interested in this, their goal was to get rid of the two markets of black pythons and wild horses with ghost heads.
The two of them hurriedly rushed to the gate of the Black Python City, thinking that the streets of the Night Python City were prosperous enough, but when they arrived at the gate of the Black Python City, the two of them understood what it meant to be a small witch.
The market is full of people coming and going, and the congestion is impassable.
The streets are lined with vendors selling a myriad of goods.
There are common pills, weapons, and some practice cheats that I don't know if they are true or false.
And something unusual, that's a lot of tricks.
There are treasure maps that claim to contain the inheritance of ancient sects, there are also sword pedigrees that are said to be left behind by a certain sword immortal, and even more outrageous are even guys who sell the underwear of the little uncle of Tianhang Mountain.
During this period, Chu Qingxiao also met an interesting stall owner, there was no goods on the stall, there was a pair of pen and ink and a piece of rice paper, and the signboard said a hundred taels.
Chu Qingxiao thought at first that he was a charlatan who told fortunes and measured words, but he heard Yuejian say that it was the rudder of the Nose Palace, the pen was called the judge's pen, and the paper was called life and death.
Use a judge's pen to write the name of the person you want to kill in the book of life and death, and Ah Bigong will send a killer to assassinate the guy on the list.
In the past ten years, there have been more than 1,000 people who have been assassinated, and the only time that they missed was the assassination of the martial king Qin Huan four years ago.
It is said that it was the largest transaction in the world in recent years, and the deposit alone was enough to buy a peak in Tianhang Mountain.
For this reason, Ah Nose Palace sent a hundred Tianzi killers to ambush Qin Huan, but His Royal Highness the Martial King was alone, and he fought all the way out of the encirclement with a dragon swallowing knife in his hand.
But Rao is like this, Ah Nose Palace is still a headache for the kings and grandchildren today.
However, the fee is expensive, and the minimum price is 100 taels, which alone is enough to discourage most people.
Of course, although these secrets sound interesting, but for Chu Qingxiao, the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to seal the martial spirit, the two chatted while walking, and soon came to a pawn shop, this kind of land has a wide variety of goods, and the price is relatively fair, naturally it is the best choice for Chu Qingxiao and Yuejian, the two did not hesitate, and walked towards the shop at this time.
……
"Brother Li, these are already the best results recently, and you also know that King Wu will come to Cangzhou to inspect in a few days, and the pressure on it is tight, and my people are not easy to do." In Ghost Head City, a man wearing brocade clothes and a fat belly was following Li Guanshui with a smile on his face, saying so in his mouth.
Li Guanshui's expression was dissatisfied, and his eyes looked around.
It was a half-man-high wooden cage, but it was not a beast but a living person!
Most of them were ragged, yellow-skinned, and sat in a cage, their bodies trembling and their pupils filled with fear.
"Boss Xun, we have been cooperating for a year or two, you know what kind of goods we want, these ...... I'm afraid I'll be handed over to the creditor's side. Li Guanshui said with displeasure on his face.
Hearing this, the man surnamed Xun hurriedly said, "Brother Li, of course I know, but isn't this also forced by the situation?" In this way, this time, you can pick and choose these goods, but if you can look at them, a few will count as many, and I will give Brother Li this number. ”
The man said, gesturing his hand.
Seeing this, Li Guanshui's dissatisfaction on his face suddenly dissipated, and he said, "It's still Boss Xun who can be a man." ”
After saying this, he beckoned to his companions around him and said, "Choose well, and choose the strong and the young!" ”
The subordinates around didn't dare to slack off when they heard this, and they all shouted at this time.
Seeing that this business had been promoted, the man surnamed Xun suddenly smiled, and he said enthusiastically: "Brother Li, I have recently got a batch of good tea, so it is better to go to the house with me to taste it when you are free at this moment." ”
Li Guanshui is reckless, but he can't drink the quality of the tea, for him, a thousand gold taels of tea is probably not as good as ten dollars a pot of spirits.
But this did not prevent him from being interested in vassal elegance.
"That's a good feeling!" He nodded, and was about to follow the man surnamed Xun into the house on the side.
"Bastard!"
"Let us go!"
"Do you know who we are? If my father had known that you had dared to do this to us, he would have sent for your hands and feet to be cut off!" ”
But at this time, a woman shouted angrily from the hut next to her.
Li Guanshui paused, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and asked suspiciously, "This is?" ”
The man surnamed Xun said a little depressedly: "A pair of sisters and brothers who were caught on the mountain road three days ago made a lot of noise, according to them, they seem to be the children of the Duzhou official family, and the people under them are not clean, and they were seen by the two sisters and brothers, and now they don't know how to deal with it!" ”
"Children of official families?" Li Guanshui became interested, and turned around to walk towards that place.
The man surnamed Xun was a little worried when he saw him like this, but he didn't dare to stop him, so he could only hurry up.
Li Guanshui walked to the hut at this time, and stretched out his hand to open the door.
"Brother Li!" Seeing this, the man surnamed Xun was about to stop it, but as soon as the words came out, it was too late, and Li Guanshui had already stretched out his hand to open the door.
I saw a man and a woman locked in an iron cage in the room, the man looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, he was bookish, he looked thin, he seemed to have some injuries, and he collapsed to the ground with a depressed expression.
And the woman is a little older, twenty-one and two-year-old, and she is a little unkempt because she is imprisoned at the moment, but she can still see the other party's pretty appearance with a bit of heroism, coupled with the bumpy figure because of her martial arts practice, Li Guanshui's eyes suddenly flashed with fiery color.
"Thief! Don't let us go yet! My father is the commander of the Silver Dragon Army, and if he knew that you were imprisoning our brothers and sisters like this, he would definitely lead people to level your ruined city! When the woman saw someone coming, she suddenly became more and more excited, and shouted loudly at Li Guanshui and the man surnamed Xun.
"Brother Li! I told you that they are the children of the official family, why did you open the door! The man surnamed Xun said a little angrily.
What they do in this line of work is originally a matter of anger and resentment.
It is safest to catch some ordinary people or fugitives who already have a case, but if the official family is implicated, sometimes it may be a catastrophe.
Under normal circumstances, for such a thing, they probably choose to let people go, but his people are sloppy, and this woman is extraordinary, and there were some guards around her at the time, but she pretended to be an ordinary person, which was targeted by his people.
The two sides fought, and several of his subordinates were cut off by the woman with masks covering their faces, and they looked at their appearances, so it was difficult to ride a tiger.
Now Li Guanshui is acting recklessly, which makes things a lot more complicated.
It's just that Li Guanshui didn't seem to feel the anxiety of the man surnamed Xun at all, his eyes wandered wantonly on the delicate figure of the woman in the cage, and said in his mouth: "What are you afraid of, the name of the Silver Dragon Army bluffs, in fact, there are less than 10,000 people, wasn't their commander Meng Yue relegated to Duzhou because he didn't beat us back then?" ”
"But ......," the man surnamed Xun heard this, and the hesitation on his face was still strong.
The woman in front of her is not only beautiful, but the unruly smell that permeates her body is even more charming, not to mention her identity as an official. Thinking that if he could press such a woman under him and bully him wantonly, Li Guanshui felt a little uncontrollable.
What's more, this money is spent in the village, and the owner of his village doesn't care about the appearance of the crow slave, only cares about its "quality", this woman's cultivation is not low, and she will enjoy it and bring it back, not only will she not be punished, but she may also be appreciated by the owner of the village.
Thinking of this, Li Guanshui didn't hesitate, looked sideways at the man surnamed Xun and said, "Two hundred taels, these two sisters and brothers belong to me." You feel hot, brother, I'll just help you solve them. ”
"Anyway, they have already been seen, if you let them go, it's troublesome, it's better to take them away from me, I guarantee that they won't be able to leave Taixuan Mountain in their lives."
The man surnamed Xun, who was still a little hesitant, was shocked when he heard the price, and secretly pondered what Li Guanshui said, and secretly felt that there was indeed some truth, he gritted his teeth at the moment, and nodded yes.
When the woman in the cage heard the conversation between the two, she probably understood her situation, and the angry scolding in her mouth became more and more unbearable, but Li Guanshui didn't care.
"These two two hundred taels, counting the thirty people set outside, one person fourteen taels, a total of six hundred and twenty taels, are you right?" At this time, Li Guanshui took out the silver ticket from his arms and handed it over.
Looking at such a large sum of money, the boss who was still worried before suddenly threw that worry out of the clouds, he took the silver ticket and flattered him in his mouth: "Brother Li, you are a living abacus, you will not be wrong in your calculations, we have cooperated so many times, I still have this trust." ”
Although this sycophant is explicit, Li Guanshui is very useful, after all, for him, he can only enjoy this kind of power and blessing outside when he is under the banner of Ghost Crow Village.
He looked back at the boss in front of him with a smile, and was about to say something, but the words didn't come out.
"Huh?" His body trembled suddenly, and his face changed suddenly.
The boss's words reminded him......
Just now.
Her former village owner, who couldn't necessarily figure out how much two plus two equals, actually calculated the amount of her business with that Tianhang Mountain disciple......
