Chapter Twenty-Four: I'll Give You First, You Give Me Two Silver
When the sun goes down, the sky is full of bright glow, and the whole ancient city is like a golden veil like cicada wings, which is beautiful and moving.
Xu Que and Zhou Lin were already sitting on the second floor of the inn, eating side dishes and drinking tea, and the two of them looked at this unique and comfortable scenery, and had a special leisure.
"This cup of tea reminds me of a ...... Friends, I think they're friends. Xu Que touched the teacup and said lightly, his eyebrows were full of melancholy and vicissitudes.
Zhou Lin looked over, and was speechless for a while, isn't it just drinking a cup of tea, why is this guy acting like drinking?
"Well, let's toast him together. Xu Que said, poured the teacup horizontally on the ground, and the tea suddenly spilled on the floor in a straight line.
Zhou Lin was stunned and asked, "Brother Xu, you are so young, you have a friend who died?"
"Of course not, how can Brother Zhou curse my friend?" Xu Que was suddenly surprised.
"Ahem...... I didn't mean that under that, I misunderstood. Zhou Lin was almost choked, Xu Queshicai's gesture was clearly done when he was paying tribute to the deceased, and now he can figure out that the Xu Que in front of him can't be treated with normal eyes and thoughts at all.
The two were silent again, bowed their heads and silently ate the dishes on the table, and after a few bites of side dishes, they drank another cup of tea, although it could not be compared with wine, but it was also a different taste.
After finishing the meal, Zhou Lin got up and prepared to go back to his room to rest, but Xu Que looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and said, "Brother Zhou, stay behind, why don't you wait for a while, and wait for the movement in the mountains and forests together." ”
"Brother Xu, the movement is the screams of tiger beasts all over the mountains, since they want to seize the tiger's teeth, they will definitely kill the tiger beast, I just hope that tomorrow when the two of us rush to the scene, there will be a live tiger beast for us to capture. Alas, if it weren't for the worry that you would have wasted a metamorphosis stone on me, I would have returned with a full load at this moment. Zhou Lin shook his head with a depressed expression, not interested in what Xu Que said.
Xu Que smiled faintly and said, "Brother Zhou doesn't need to be like this, isn't it just a transformation stone, and it will definitely be returned to you when I go back, but I don't know if Brother Zhou is interested in the first place in the dream realm this time?"
When Zhou Lin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly, sat down, a self-deprecating smile flashed across his face, and said: "First? Of course, in the T-shaped hall, who doesn't want to take the first place? In addition to the reward, what gives us the greatest motivation is nothing more than the title of first." You don't have to look at everyone as ordinary, in fact, everyone is arrogant and pretentious, even if some people seem to be friendly, but no one can guarantee that they are not forbearing. ”
"What are you talking about in your last sentence about me?" asked Xu Que.
Zhou Lin immediately shook his head and said categorically: "Except for you, everyone else, including me, I am also forbearing." ”
"Alas, I didn't expect that in your mind, I didn't belong to the category of forbearance, but to be arrogant and pretentious. Xu Que was a little disappointed, he felt that he had always been quite kind, and he was not arrogant, let alone pretentious.
Zhou Lin next to him looked strange after hearing this, learned from Xu Que's previous appearance, covered his forehead and lay directly on the table without speaking, he couldn't bear to tell Xu Que, in fact, you are nothing.
"Brother Zhou, let's get back to business. At this time, Xu Que gently tapped the table and signaled Zhou Lin to be serious.
Zhou Lin didn't even bother to raise his head, and said perfunctorily: "Brother Xu, just say it, I'll listen." ”
Xu Que didn't pay much attention to it, his eyes kept looking at the mountains and forests in the distance of the ancient city, and when he saw that the green forests gradually began to surge, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face, which was a kind of self-confidence in strategizing.
He said lightly: "Brother Zhou, if I let you take the first place this time, are you willing?"
Zhou Lin's body was shocked, he raised his head suddenly, and said with a stern expression: "Brother Xu, it's not too early, let's rest early." ”
"Brother Zhou doesn't believe it?" asked Xu Que with a faint smile.
"Brother Xu, don't joke anymore, you have said enough nonsense today, I feel a little tired, and I really want to rest. Zhou Lin said, and after speaking, he got up again and prepared to leave.
Syllable!
Xu Que suddenly slapped the wooden chopsticks in his hand on the table, looked directly at Zhou Lin, and said seriously: "I never talk nonsense, Brother Zhou, it's not too late to leave after listening." In fact, it's very simple, this time I let you get the first, and the reward of the Transformation Stone Bento is for me to pay you, and the only thing you need to pay is to hand over all the silver taels on your body. ”
“......”
Hearing Xu Que's words, Zhou Lin was directly stunned, stood in place and was silent for a while, and finally said in disbelief: "Brother Xu, you ...... You want to rob me?"
"This is a fair exchange, I give you the first, you give me two silver, you gain prestige, and I get money, it is definitely an exchange that is beneficial to both parties, how do you have to?" Xu Que waved his hand, explained, and said at the end that if he was a robbery, there was no need to talk so much.
Zhou Lin rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "In other words, I used the silver taels on my body to exchange for a false name of first place?"
"How can it be a false name, isn't there another metamorphosis stone as a reward?"
"That's what you owe me. Zhou Lin suddenly became anxious, and stared dryly, for fear that Xu Que would suddenly not admit it.
Xu Que waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhou, don't care about these details, let's talk about the first place first, didn't we just say that this ranking is very important to you?"
“...... If you can really get it, don't say all the silver taels on your body now, even if you return to the mirage, why not give you ten times more?"
Zhou Lin sneered, he naturally couldn't believe that Xu Que could really help him win the first place, although the T-shaped hall was ranked last in the Yellow Sky Tower, they were generally the youngest, and there was no shortage of outstanding among them. This mission is completely a race against time for T-shaped Tang, fighting for time and speed, and if anyone starts slowly, it is equivalent to automatically giving up the competition for the first place.
Zhou Lin took a step slower, so he was mentally prepared to drink tea and chat with Xu Que here leisurely, but now Xu Que suddenly mentioned the ranking again, which made Zhou Lin a little unwilling and irritable, and just wanted to say something casually to get rid of Xu Que's entanglement, so he boasted ten times the silver tael.
But this fell into Xu Que's ears, and naturally it became a gospel, and he immediately said happily: "Okay, I really didn't mess with Brother Zhou's friend." ”
Zhou Lin saw him smiling so happily, and the sneer on his face became thicker, and said, "Brother Xu, then so be it, tonight you think about how to help me win this first place, I'll go rest first." ”
"Okay, Brother Zhou, have a good rest. Xu Que bowed his hand and said goodbye warmly.
Zhou Lin also bowed his hand slightly, and immediately turned around and walked towards his own room, and he couldn't help but show a sympathetic smile on his face, he already regarded Xu Que as a fool.
Xu Que sat back at the table, watched Zhou Lin leave, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and muttered to himself: "This Zhou Lin is really stupid and has a lot of money, as soon as he opens his mouth, he will make ten times the silver taels, and he will make a lot of money this time!"
And at this time, the night was already sultry, and Xu Que couldn't smell any breath on his body, but in the mountains and forests hundreds of miles away from the city, it didn't seem to be so calm.
The roars of the beasts were everywhere, and the grass and trees were swaying, and the dust was flying, filling the entire mountain, not because of a strong wind, but because the beasts were crazy all over the mountain, and they were running en masse, biting people when they saw them.
Xu Que was far away, but he seemed to have heard the movement, looking at the mountains and forests, his eyes looked unusually strange and deep in the night, and the smile on his face gradually became more and more intense at this moment.
