Chapter Seventy-Four: Rivalry Meeting
Qianxing Prefecture.
Luck is rampant, all beings are fighting for the crossing, and chaos should be rampant.
However, because of the arrival of the New Year, Qianxingzhou is in full swing, the streets and alleys are full of flowers, the three religions and nine streams are bustling, and the scene of fireworks in the world is in sharp contrast.
After Chu Nan and Li Xu arrived in Qianxing Prefecture, they were also amazed by the lively fireworks here.
On the street, the traffic is busy, and the shouting of roadside vendors is endless, and the taste of the New Year is full.
Tomorrow will be the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
In the bustling city, Chu Nan and Li Xu were all worried, there is no doubt that the large and small restaurants and inns and even the Qinglou are overcrowded, they come a little late, even if they have money in their pockets, it is difficult to spend it.
Chu Nan wants to eat a meal of Xizhou's original aquatic products, and this wish is difficult to realize for the time being.
"The Chinese New Year is a happy thing, but many people are not only homeless during the New Year, but they don't even have a place to stay, such as the two of us." Chu Nan smiled bitterly.
As a top priority, Chu Nan has to buy enough Tianjing Pills for Yellow Dog Gengmeng, but fortunately, five Tianjing Pills in one meal can make Yellow Dog Gengmeng not eat or drink for three days.
But when he thought that the yellow dog was a golden beast, Chu Nan could only give the yellow dog the lowest-grade Heavenly Essence Pill, and he felt sorry for the yellow dog in his heart.
Li Xu saw the sadness on Chu Nan's face, and said, "I still have some spirit coins here, which can be used to support rations for the time being, and I can only last for about a month at most." ”
Chu Nan calculated his current property, and he could only exchange it for one gold spirit coin.
In the past, when I was a knife catcher, I never thought that I would worry about money.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, you are worried about money......
Whether Chu Nan wants to or not, he needs to do a big job and solve the most basic survival difficulties.
"Qianxing Prefecture is a prosperous city, there should be a place to sell Tianjing Pills, let's have a good life first." Chunan Road.
The two of them wandered around the streets and alleys, and had a light meal in an open-air restaurant on the way.
Most of the people who can come to Qianxing Prefecture for the New Year are people who have gained something, or people who are already very decent, and many survivors.
No matter who the people are, after coming to Qianxing Prefecture, they all have just the right amount of belligerent hearts, just because it is an unlucky thing to splash blood during the New Year, and secondly, the bigwigs in Qianxing Prefecture are also deliberately maintaining the order of the whole city.
Going around and around, Chu Nan and Li Xu finally saw an elegant and exquisite attic, and the words "Qianxing Tianjing" were written on the plaque.
The guards at the door were two men in their mid-thirties, dressed in battle armor and swords at their waists, full of energy, like two young and strong door gods.
Before entering the pavilion, Chu Nan asked in a low voice, "How many spirit coins do you have?" ”
Li Xu was slightly embarrassed and said: "It depends on the price of the Tianjing Pill here, and it is reasonable for prices to rise during the New Year's period, and I think that the last time Uncle Jian Xiu gave us a friendship price." ”
Chu Nan thought about it slightly: "I feel it too, but after we enter this attic, we will know how friendly the senior is to us." ”
The two of them entered the attic in a dignified manner, and the guards at the door did not embarrass the two young men because Chu Nan and Li Xu were not so decently dressed.
Instead, he glanced at the yellow dog who was following Chu Nan, and at first he thought in his heart that it was just a yellow dog, and it was also worth such a fine food as Tianjing Pill, but after thinking about it, if he could give this yellow dog Tianjing Pill, there would naturally be a reason in it.
Upon entering the pavilion, a sense of luxury comes to the face, the containers are made of the finest boxwood or mahogany, and the floor is paved with fragrant jade bricks.
Chu Nan and Li Xu didn't feel that their appearance belonged to the ragged stream, but after arriving here, both of them felt that they were dirt buns who had never seen the world.
Especially with a Shenhua restrained yellow dog.
Entertaining Chu Nan was a beautiful woman in a purple dress, about thirty years old, tall, with a little powder, revealing a moving style, with concave and convex curves, at first glance, it was the favorite type of someone who watched the gate in Longchang Town.
"How many Heavenly Essence Pills are the two sons going to buy?" The woman asked with a soft smile.
His eyes also subconsciously glanced at the yellow dog who was following Chu Nan, although he had some doubts, but this doubt was fleeting, the people who did the Tianjing Pill business were naturally people who had seen the world, and this woman would not despise Chu Nan because of Chu Nan's indecency on the surface.
This is the quality of a person who does big business.
The question is polite, and the woman's attitude is gentle.
But it made Chu Nan's heart chuckle, he wanted to ask about the price, but it seemed that he was too lonely and childish.
"Second grade." Chu Nan pretended to respond calmly.
Second grade?
The woman in the long skirt felt a ripple in her heart when she heard this, thinking that the second-grade Tianjing Pill should not be for this yellow dog.
"Please come with me." The woman smiled softly.
Chu Nan and Li Xu followed behind the woman with a little restraint, and when they came to the container, the woman just showed two fingers to the elderly teller, and the teller asked, "How many do you want?" ”
At this moment, Chu Nan's heart was a little fluctuating, and he regretted that he didn't ask Huang Fengtian Essence Pill about the specific price on the market at that time.
Thinking to himself, that small bag of Heavenly Essence Pill Huang Feng asked for a copper spirit coin, Chu Nan's current property can be exchanged for a gold spirit coin, if he buys a second-grade Heavenly Spirit Pill, it should be within the range of affordability.
"One hundred." Chunan Road.
The elderly teller turned around and opened the drawer of the second-grade Tianjing Pill and began to load Chu Nan.
The woman in the long skirt said softly to Chu Nan, "A total of five silver spirit coins." ”
This time, without Chu Nan's hint, Li Xu hurriedly took out five silver spirit coins and handed them to the woman in the long skirt.
Chu Nan's hanging heart was put down.
The old teller loaded the second-grade Tianjing Pill and handed it to the woman in the long skirt, and the woman in the long skirt handed it to Chu Nan, and said with a soft smile: "Actually, if you buy more, you can get a discount, in recent days, the Tianjing Pill is more in demand, and the little brother can think about it more." ”
There is no doubt that after the New Year, people from all walks of life will have to go to find the secret and explore the secrets, the road is long, and it is always beneficial to prepare more Tianjing Pills, so I am afraid that I will fall into a certain predicament and the Tianjing Pills will not be replenished.
Chu Nan's financial resources were stretched, and he thought about it: "That's all for the time being, maybe I'll come over in a few days." ”
When the woman in the long skirt heard this, she smiled knowingly and said, "Okay." ”
She had already judged in her heart that Chu Nan and Li Xu were not rich in money, but their faces were always polite, as the saying goes, don't bully young people to be poor.
Moreover, Chu Nan's face was gloomy and handsome, especially those eyes like a bright moon, which made her feel quite good in her heart, and the rest of the distinguished guests who came here to buy the Heavenly Essence Pill would put on a very high posture, revealing a noble demeanor openly and secretly, and a more obvious contempt for people.
At least, Chu Nan, the guest, was a guest who made her feel quite comfortable to the eye.
As the saying goes, women love vanity and rich aristocrats, and only women who have experienced some ups and downs understand that rich aristocrats actually look down on women in their hearts.
After walking out of the attic, Chu Nan fell into a new melancholy, where should he stay?
"For now, we can only check the inns one by one, and hopefully there will be a spare room." Chunan Road.
Li Xu nodded tacitly, the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to be done.
The streets were crowded, and Chu Nan and Li Xu couldn't go fast, so they could only go with the flow.
Soon after, Chu Nan and Li Xu came to a large inn, with a total of five floors, covering a wide area, and the building was carved and painted, and the name was "Xingsheng Inn." ”
At the door of the inn, people came and went, Chu Nan and Li Xu just wanted to walk in to ask, and people walked out of the inn.
Seeing this, Chu Nan had a strange look on his face, he had already met him head-on, and it was impossible to avoid it.
This group of people is from the Wu family, Wu Ke and two middle-aged Jindan realm powerhouses, as well as Chu Nan's second uncle Chu Hong, in addition, there is one more person, this person is about forty or fifty years old, wearing an elegant cyan robe, handsome appearance, soft eyebrows and eyes, showing the posture of a middle-aged man.
Unexpected encounter here, Wu Ke's eyes widened suddenly, and the two Jindan Realm powerhouses behind him also arrived behind Chu Nan and Li Xu in an instant, forming a trend of outflanking back and forth.
After Wu Ke saw Chu Nan, his face was extremely gloomy, as if he was about to drip water.
"Good boy, I searched for you everywhere but didn't find it, I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door by yourself today." Wu Ke gritted his teeth.
Although he gritted his teeth, he didn't dare to step forward and make a move, he knew that he was not Chu Nan's opponent.
The yellow dog Geng Meng also showed his fangs at this moment.
For this yellow dog, the two middle-aged men in the Jindan Realm also have a deep fear.
Chu Nan cried and laughed: "They are all fellow villagers, where did you get so angry?" ”
Today's Geng Meng is no longer the previous Geng Meng, if he really fights to the death, Chu Nan is not false at all, the only thing he is worried about is that if Geng Meng exposes the dignity of the golden beast in public, it will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Out of the corner of his eye, Wu Ke glanced at the middle-aged man in the cyan robe.
Chu Nan also looked at the middle-aged man, and said straight to the point: "Who are you?" ”
It's just that the Wu family and others fought with Chu Nan, and it was difficult to tell the winner in a short period of time.
And fighting life and death on the street will also attract the scolding of some big people in Qianxing Prefecture, in this city, there have been many enemies who have met each other, but they have tacitly agreed not to fight, this tacit understanding is by no means the result of personal recuperation.
The middle-aged man in the green shirt glanced at Chu Nan slightly, and said, "My name is Zhou Feng, and you and the son of the Wu family are fellow countrymen?" ”
Chu Nan smiled strangely and said: "It's a fellow countryman and an enemy, so will you pull the shelf?" ”
Wu Ke shouted angrily: "Maniac, Hugh is rude, do you know who Mr. Zhou is?" ”
Mr?!
After thinking about it slightly, Chu Nan roughly guessed the identity of this person, the Wu family is a local hero in Longchang Town, and looking at the outside world, it can barely be regarded as a prince, and it is reasonable for such an identity to be favored by Dayuan Academy.
Zhou Feng just kept silent, the infighting between fellow villagers and fellow villagers, it is best not to interfere, besides, he is also observing what kind of character Wu Ke is, if Wu Ke is determined to let Zhou Feng make a move, this gentleman will also look down on Wu Ke.
Wu Ke actually knows the measure of this.
But Chu Nan is a person he can't beat alone, but that dog also has Jindan combat power.
And these days, I don't know if Chu Nan and this dog have gained anything in some famous rivers.
Everything is unknown.
Chu Nan glanced at the two middle-aged men behind him, as for his second uncle, he simply didn't take a second look.
He said, "If you don't plan to do it, get out of the way." ”
Wu Ke grinned and said, "You don't think you can survive this time." ”
Chu Nan smiled slightly and said, "I don't know who escaped death last time, speaking of which, I have the grace of reinvention for you." ”
Wu Ke was angry and his face was pale.
Chu Nan spoke again: "It is not advisable to see blood during the New Year, it is better to settle the grievances and grievances between you and me after the New Year, I am in Qianxing Prefecture, and I think that with the strength of your Wu family, you still have the ability to lock my movements." ”
"How?"
"Anyway, you are around me, and you can't help me."
Chu Nan's attitude was understated, which made Wu Ke's heart feel depressed.
After that, Chu Nan turned around and left with Li Xu and Yellow Dog Gengmeng.
The two Jindan Realm powerhouses who were blocking the road didn't intend to get out of the way, Chu Nan glanced at him coldly and said, "Get out of the way." ”
Seeing this, Zhou Feng coughed slightly, and the two of them made way for Chu Nan.
On the way out, Li Xu asked in a low voice, "You also have a bad relationship with the people in your hometown?" ”
Chu Nan sighed with emotion: "I almost died in a fight." ”
"Sooner or later, there will be a battle, that person named Zhou Feng should be a certain master of Dayuan Academy, looking like that, it doesn't look like a person who pulls the shelf."
"It's important that we look for a place to stay, and I don't want to sleep on the streets during the Chinese New Year."
Li Xu glanced back, and Chu Nan said softly: "Don't worry, they are more powerful than us in Qianxing Prefecture, and our every move will be under their noses." ”
Li Xu smiled awkwardly.
Soon, Chu Nan and Li Xu saw an inn again, and before they entered the door, they saw the word full at the door.
The two of them had to look for the next one, Chu Nan smiled strangely and said: "That is to say, there is no sign at the door of the Xingsheng Inn, and there is still a vacant room inside." ”
Li Xu echoed: "Then why don't we go back?" ”
Chu Nan stopped, although he didn't want to see the people of the Wu family and his second uncle, but after thinking about it, why did he have to avoid them?
"Let's go, go back." Chu Nan said firmly.
Li Xu almost laughed out loud and said, "Is this good?" ”
Chu Nan smiled and said, "What's wrong, they can live in the Xingsheng Inn, can't we live there?" ”
Between the words, the two returned the same way.
As Chu Nan guessed, there was indeed a vacant house in the Xingsheng Inn, and it was still a small courtyard for entertaining distinguished guests.
In addition to the wing rooms of each inn, several small courtyards will be built at the rear to greet distinguished guests, the larger the inn, the more small courtyards will be built behind.
Living for half a moon, you need five thousand taels of gold, which is no different from robbery, but the situation is stronger than people.
But Chu Nan just wants to be decent, and after the New Year, he always has to enjoy happiness.
Boldly confessed the five thousand taels of gold.
During this period, there was also a small episode, the shopkeeper saw that Chu Nan and Li Xu didn't look like decent people, and the yellow dog looked like a good local dog, so it was inevitable that the dog looked down and asked a few words.
When Chu Nan opened the utensils and took out the golden ticket, the shopkeeper suddenly nodded his head again and again, and shouted one by one......
