Chapter 60: The Payment for the Seven Star Cliffs
Ran Dengjia was about to go out to look for Jiang Wan, but saw her hurrying back with a wine jar in one hand and a few paper bags in the other.
"Why did you go out for so long, it scared me to death." Ran Dengjia went up to take it, and when he saw Jiang Wan's happy smile, he dared to say that.
Jiang Wan smiled: "Don't worry, I will never do stupid things in the future." Brother Gu is my life-saving benefactor, I have helped me again and again, and I have to carefully choose to pick up the dust for Brother Gu! ”
"Should, should." Ran Dengjia prepared the dishes and chopsticks, Jiang Wan opened the paper bag, and put some cooked meat and cold vegetables in it, and poured them into the plate respectively.
The three of them sat down, Jiang Wan poured wine into everyone's bowl, she picked up the wine bowl and saluted Gu Shengchao and said: "Brother Gu is chivalrous and brave, first avenged the little woman's revenge for killing her father, and today saved my life. ”
Gu Shengchao said politely: "Don't dare, don't dare, there was a master to help that day, where is my credit, Miss Jiang is serious." Those are in the past, and there is no need to mention them, and it is better to live happily than anything else. ”
Ran Dengjia understood what Gu Shengchao meant, and also picked up the wine bowl and said: "Yes, yes, stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, we are still young, as long as there is hope for the future, life will always get better day by day." ”
Jiang Wan blushed and said: "I Jiang Wan has received the kindness of the two eldest brothers, and when I sank into the river today, I was very sober for a moment, I wanted to float up but couldn't do anything, and I felt a lot more detached after experiencing life and death." Now that Brother Gu has testified, I, Jiang Wan, promise that from now on, I will definitely listen to Brother Ran's words, live a good life and stop thinking nonsense. My father was able to create a career from scratch, although I am not comparable to a little girl, but as long as I work hard, I believe that it will definitely be better than now. ”
She stood up and picked up the bowl and drank it all with pride.
Gu Shengchao and Ran Dengjia looked at each other and smiled with relief, touched the wine bowl and drank it all dry.
Jiang Wan poured wine, her cheeks were crimson because she was too drunk, and she showed even more shyness and charm, and Ran Dengjia stared at her as if she was fascinated. Jiang Wan laughed at him: "Big Brother Gu is still here, such a big person still looks like a child, I promise you that I will never do stupid things again, let's live a good life and earn back what we lost little by little." ”
Ran Dengjia was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was happy for Jiang Wan's change, and he respected Gu Shengchao and said: "Little brother is really our benefactor, come, I will do it first as a respect." ”
The three of them talked and laughed and talked about wine, Ran Dengjia saw that Jiang Wan finally expressed his intentions, and he couldn't help but drink too much under joy, he was the first to get drunk, and Gu Shengchao helped him to rest on the bed.
"Sister Wan, Sister Wan, I, Ran Dengjia, promise you that you will live a good life, as long as we work hard, tomorrow is destined to be stronger than today." Ran Dengjia spoke the truth in a daze.
"Okay, okay, I hear you." Jiang Wan blushed and covered him with a quilt.
The sky was sunny and the clothes dried quickly under the scorching sun, Gu Shengchao's clothes were already dry when he went upstairs, he changed into his robe and packed his things and went downstairs to say goodbye to Jiang Wan.
"Engong go slowly, Brother Ran is drunk, so it's inconvenient for me to send Engong." Jiang Wanying gave a salute.
"Farewell." Gu Shengchao left with his hand, he originally planned to return to the Dawu Dynasty by boat, but after listening to Jiang Wan's experience, he became interested in that chamber of commerce, and inquired all the way to the past.
The location of the Chamber of Commerce is in the center of the town, and on both sides of the courtyard gate, it is written "Rijin Doujin", and on the other hand, "Harmony and Wealth", and no one is guarding it, Gu Shengchao walked in. Several carriages were parked in the courtyard, all loading and unloading goods, and everyone was busy in an orderly manner.
"Just give me a good word, when will we be able to pay for the goods." A woman's voice came, and it sounded like she was angry.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a female doll's temper is not small, if you say a few words to soften the discussion we have, I won't give you this attitude, what can you do with me." Another woman's voice came.
Gu Shengchao discerned the position of the voice and walked over, and in a room not far away, two women were standing and arguing with a woman sitting on a chair. Gu Shengchao was surprised that he actually knew the two women standing there, who were the disciples of the Seven Star Cliff, Ah Miao and Ah Mei.
On that day, he sent Ding Ying up the mountain, and it was these two people who stopped them, and at that time, the ancient saint Chao dantian was damaged without the slightest internal force, and was forced by the two to fall off the cliff in a panic, which led to the later adventure.
Ah Miao said angrily: "Your Chamber of Commerce paid the deposit, and we Qixingya sent tea non-stop, and said that the cash on delivery was good, and it has been two months, and you didn't give a penny, it was you who breached the contract first, but it was reasonable." ”
"What, not convinced?" The woman sitting in the chair threw her legs over the low table in front of her, swaying her feet leisurely, her face full of mockery. The woman is young and in her early twenties, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her eyes reveal treachery, Ran Dengjia said that this chamber of commerce was opened by a family member of a sect leader in the Yunqi Palace of the Xilang Kingdom, and it should be this woman.
Hearing the voice, several burly men in the courtyard hurried over and guarded the door, ready to attack.
"You." Ah Mei stepped forward angrily to question, but saw that several strong men at the door were timid at the moment, and retreated.
The woman picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said disdainfully: "Do you want to do it, you are still tender, and you don't want to see who the backer of our Chamber of Commerce is, do you know that Yunqi Palace has the ability to ask them for silver, what is your little Seven Star Cliff." ”
Ah Miao and Ah Mei were filled with righteous indignation when they heard this, and even Gu Shengchao, who was not far outside, was furious, after all, Ding Ying and her master Fang Xingdan were from the Seven Star Cliff, and even if the internal disputes of their own people were just ugly, outsiders would never be able to belittle the Seven Star Cliff.
Gu Shengchao wanted to rush in and teach the woman who didn't know the height of the sky, but he didn't want Ah Miao and Ah Mei to recognize him, and when he touched his pocket, the standing fire sickles, fire folds and other items were there, including the fake beard purchased by Liu Ximei in the capital of the Dawu Dynasty.
He was overjoyed, and walked to no one to put on his fake beard, and his full beard covered half of his face at once, and he would never be able to see who it was without careful examination. After packing up, he returned to stand not far from the window, and several strong men at the door glanced at him and didn't pay attention to it.
The woman pinched the teacup between her fingers and shook it, and said quietly: "In this way, you two kneel down and kowtow to me a few times to apologize, I may be happy to pay some silver for you to go back to pay the errand, how about it?" The woman smiled playfully, staring at the two men like cat and mouse.
"It's too much of a deception." Ah Miao couldn't hold it back, and he was about to do it with a wave of his palm.
The strong man closest to Ah Miao at the door made a move like lightning, and without waiting for Ah Miao to rush out a few steps, he had already grabbed her wrist and threw her to the ground with a shake of his hand. Ah Miao saw that she was about to fall, she gently lifted her palm on the ground and flipped in the air, and landed steadily. As soon as she stood, a few strong men were left to besiege her, and the good man was invincible with four hands, let alone a weak woman.
Ah Mei stepped forward to help, neither of them drew their swords, for fear of killing people, but their kindness does not mean that the other party is also kind. As soon as Miao kicked out, a strong man hugged her leg, she slashed at the other person's neck with a swing, and another strong man stopped her waist and picked her up, and the two of them worked together to throw Miao aside. Ah Miao was just about to get up, but one of them had already stepped on her face, making her unable to move.
"Stop." Ah Mei wanted to rescue Ah Miao, but one of her hands was grabbed and she still struggled to break free, but her strength was too small, and she easily let the other party twist and control it.
The woman stood up leisurely and applauded: "Okay, you two have backbone, I admire it." What could have been solved with a few kowtows just now seems to be undone. We are all women, why should women embarrass women, I originally wanted to spare you two, but you kicked your nose in the face, so don't blame me for being unkind. ”
"What do you want?" Ah Mei was a little afraid, and she wanted to break free, but she didn't have the strength of the strong man behind her.
The woman walked over and pinched Amei's pink face, and said slyly: "Those with fine skin and tender flesh are also considered watery." These men under my hands are all strong and strong, but they don't have wives, or I will wronged you to accompany them tonight? ”
"Don't." Amei was scared, and tears fell uncontrollably.
"Now I know I'm scared, it's too late." The woman waved her hand without annoyance, "Pull both down, and I'll reward you tonight." ”
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Several strong men were overjoyed, picking up Ah Miao and Ah Mei respectively and leaving.
They didn't notice it, and they didn't know when there was an extra person blocking the door.
"Look for death, get out of the way." A strong man stepped forward angrily, stretching out his hand to push away Gu Shengchao who was blocking the door. The strong man's hand was about to touch Gu Shengchao's left shoulder, Gu Shengchao stretched out his right hand and grabbed his wrist accurately and shook it slightly.
"Ahh The strong man screamed, and then saw that his wrist had been broken and hung down.
The rest of the people, unaware of the danger at hand, still grinned and laughed at their companions' carelessness. One of them rushed up with Amei in his arms, thinking that Gu Shengchao was a harmless soft persimmon.
Gu Shengchao couldn't hold back the anger in his heart for a long time, he was ruthless, and he rushed up with either a broken arm or a broken leg. The guy holding Amei in his arms was the worst, not only broke his legs, but Gu Shengchao tore off his arms again, rolling on the ground in pain and screaming endlessly.
The female shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce saw Gu Shengchao's ferocity, she took a few steps back in horror, and said uneasily: "You, don't mess around, my father-in-law is the head of Yunqi Palace, and he annoyed Yunqi Palace and told you to walk around without eating." ”
"Really?" Gu Shengchao rolled up his sleeves and approached step by step, and said nonchalantly: "I want to see what kind of goods Yunqi Palace is." ”
The female shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce saw Gu Shengchao coming over, his heavy snort had already sprayed on her face, she folded her hands on her chest and twisted her face in horror: "Don't, don't mess around." ”
Gu Shengchao's nose touched the woman's cheek, and said softly: "Listen, I don't embarrass women, tonight you will either pay off the payment for the Seven Star Cliff, or accompany me for one night, you choose." ”
