Chapter 56: Tenants

After nearly a month of bumpy road, Shi Cheng and the three of them finally arrived at Kenbin City, the capital of the Kenbin Kingdom, with the convoy of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce.

According to the arrangement of the Chamber of Commerce, after the convoy enters Kenbin City, it will first go to the rented place, and after putting away the luggage for a short rest, the members of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce will first go to deal with the business of the Chamber of Commerce, and Shi Cheng and these guests will move freely. Of course, on the second day after arriving at the Kenbin Kingdom, according to the itinerary discussed with Xu Fengshi and others before, Shi Chenghui met with other high-level officials of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce to discuss some matters related to business cooperation.

The development of Kenbin City is obviously much better than that of Kawa City, and when the group first arrived in the suburbs outside the city, they saw a lot of wooden shacks and vendors setting up stalls to sell.

The Chamber of Commerce convoy came to the east gate of Kenbin City, and after waiting in line for nearly two quarters of an hour, it entered Kenbin City through the east gate. Shi Cheng lifted the curtain and looked out the window, and found that forty percent of the people waiting in line outside the city gate to enter the city were foreigners, among whom the Hanyue people were the mainstay, and most of the foreigners were dressed as people from the rivers and lakes.

"The exotic treasure that is about to be born in the Kenbin forbidden area is really not simple, if you have the opportunity, you still have to inquire about the news related to the exotic treasure." Shi Cheng began to think about it in his heart, these days he also asked the members of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce about the situation of the strange treasure, but Xu Fengshi and the others were secretive and secretive about it, obviously not wanting Shi Cheng to have a more specific grasp of the situation of the strange treasure, so as to have one more potential competitor.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me, who doesn't have a mouth under their nose, there are so many people in this city, you can always figure out the situation in the forbidden area if you ask more." Shi Cheng thought to himself.

After entering the city from the east gate, the convoy walked along the alley all the way to the northwest, and soon arrived at the Lin family manor, where the fruit wood chamber of commerce rented.

"Lao Shi, look outside, we have already entered the garden, it is the first time in my life that I live in a big manor, and I don't know what it feels like to live." Wu Neng said as he pointed out the window.

Shi Cheng looked out the window, the high and low wooden houses that he could see when he first entered the city were gone, replaced by large and fertile fields, the fields were full of crops, many locals bent down to work in the fields, tending to all kinds of food and crops, and in the meadows of the hills in the distance, there were herds of cattle and sheep lying there resting and grazing. Some of the Coldmoon and Rainforesters with hunting bows on their backs rode back and forth between the fields and pastures, and appeared to be overseers and wardens of the manor.

After a slow drive along the field road, the convoy came to a halt in an open space dedicated to horse-drawn carriages, and the passengers on the carriage were eager to get up and stretch their limbs to relieve the sourness of the long journey.

Shi Cheng and the three got out of the car with their luggage, and came to the manor steward of the reception chamber of commerce with everyone, and the steward respectfully greeted everyone, and after explaining the check-in instructions in the manor, the subordinates he brought led different guests to their respective residences.

After taking the three of them around a sugarcane field, a group of four people came to a two-story house, the appearance of the house looks relatively old, but the house is very clean around the house, there is not a single weed, there is a big tree and a small flower garden opposite the main entrance, there is a small pond about four hundred steps away from the northwest of the house, coupled with the quiet environment around, it seems to be a good place to recuperate.

"Three sons, your residence is here." The Lin family, who led the way, said, "This place is one of the rooms that the head of the family used to entertain guests, and it may look old on the outside, but it is absolutely comfortable to live inside." ”

The family opened the door for the three of them and walked in with the three of them, and as soon as Shi Cheng and the three of them stepped into the entrance, they felt that the humidity and heat outside had subsided most of the inside of the house.

Wu Neng was a little surprised and said, "It's so cool in this room!" ”

Jia Ding replied with a smile: "The larger houses in the manor are all designed by the master who asked the immortal masters of my Great Wei Sect to help design, and in a humid and hot place like the Northern Rain Forest Continent all year round, it can also ensure that the interior is dry and cool, I hope the three of them can be satisfied." ”

"Definitely satisfied, definitely satisfied." Wu Neng said with a smile, he really can't wait to take a shower now, and then fall down on the big bed to enjoy this rare cool world.

Jia Ding advised: "If the three sons need anything during the rental period, you can go to the Wu Ji Ze Wu Steward who is in charge of this area of the manor, and we will give you help within the scope of our ability, his residence is very close to the son of you, go out of the main entrance of this house, walk along the cobblestone path at the door to the south for half an hour, and the first red-roofed house you see is the Wu Steward's residence." ”

"The three sons can also ask Adu, who cleans your yard, to bring a letter to the military steward, he will come here to clean the courtyard every morning at four o'clock in the morning and four o'clock in the afternoon, staying for half an hour each time, during this period, if you have a message to the military steward, you can let Adu pass it on. If there is something very important, you can also ask him to pass it on to our big butler He Cai. ”

"Zhuang Shang will be responsible for your morning and evening meals, and someone will bring it to you every day, if you don't need to deliver food, you can talk to the military manager in advance."

"During the rental period, please also ask the three sons to take care of the utensils in the house, we will check the house when you check out, if there is any damage, the three need to compensate for the original payment."

......

After the family told the check-in instructions, he respectfully saluted the three of them, and did not disturb the three of them anymore, and left quietly.

"This family member who works in the village is still neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the important guests of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, and the owner of this village is probably also a legendary figure who has seen a lot of the world, and he also has a lot of strategies in governing the family." After the family left, Tie Mian, who hadn't said much along the way, said coldly.

"Well, most likely." Shi Cheng nodded in agreement.

Wu Neng put the luggage on the ground, and the whole person took advantage of the situation and threw himself into the soft chair, "Whew, it's hot and tired all the way, and now I can finally cool down." ”

"You're sweaty, hurry up and take a shower in a while." Shi Cheng said with a smile.

"We're going to stay here for a month or so, don't you have any plans?" Iron Mask asked.

"Yes, there must be, that Kenbin forbidden area, I'm very interested, I also want to see what the strange treasure inside is, and it can attract so many people to the Northern Rainforest Continent." Shi Cheng said.

Iron Mask nodded, looking very interested in the strange treasure, "I just don't know if the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce is willing to let us participate in it." ”

"Whether we participate or not, it has nothing to do with them." Shi Cheng said decisively, "I am a guest to discuss business with them, not a buddy in their chamber of commerce. ”

Wu Neng and Tie Mian both nodded.

Shi Cheng turned his head to look at Wu Neng: "Old Wu, from tomorrow, the martial arts class will start to be the same, you have no problem." ”

Wu Neng nodded and replied seriously: "I have long wanted to stretch my muscles and bones." By the way, Lao Shi, I'm not so ambitious, but do you think I will have a chance to cultivate the realm of cultivators in the future? ”

Shi Cheng glanced Wu Neng up and down, then suddenly stretched out his hand, patted Wu Neng's dantian, and pinched Wu Neng's shoulder.

"Ahh It hurts! Wu Neng jumped up, "What are you doing, Lao Shi?" What are you doing so hard? ”

"Let me ask you a question, when you were a child when you practiced Gong, did your master give you a lot of tonics?"

Wu Neng nodded, "Lao Shi, how do you know, my master asked me to drink some medicinal soup before practicing martial arts when I was young, saying that my body is too weak, and if I must learn some martial arts, I must supplement it with decoction to support my body." ”

"Sure enough, that means that your current high-level martial artist realm is indeed piled up with medicine." Shi propped his chin and said an opinion that he had guessed for a long time but had never said before, "If you rely on simple hard work, it is indeed very good to enter such a realm at your age, but unfortunately it is not." ”

"Huh? Lao Shi, do you mean that my master taught me the wrong way to practice martial arts? ”

"No, I mean, with your qualifications, if it weren't for Yanmen giving you medicine and piling it up, you wouldn't want to step into the realm of high-level martial artists in another six or seven years."

Wu Neng's face was black, and he said faintly: "You might as well lie to me and say that I didn't lay a good foundation because I was in a hurry." ”

Shi Cheng shook his head and said, "Although you are now in the high-level martial artist realm, your meridians are naturally weak, and your bones and physical body are also the same, and your body has already passed the age suitable for polishing, even if you practice diligently every day from now on, the probability that you can step into the cultivator realm in this life is less than thirty percent." ”

"Ah, less than thirty percent?" Wu Neng suddenly became a wilted eggplant.

Shi Cheng thought for a while and said, "In short, Tie Mian and I will give you more guidance, after arriving in the Wei Kingdom, I will find a way to buy some high-quality body refining medicines to help you polish your physique again, if there are still some opportunities, maybe you still have a sixty percent chance to enter the cultivator realm, but ...... If I hadn't hit you, the highest achievement in your life might have been the first level of the cultivator realm. ”

Wu Neng thought about it, although he was a little lost for a while, but soon his mood turned around, "That's fine, Lao Shi." Master always told me that after working hard, I have no regrets. My martial arts qualifications are definitely far from being comparable to you and Lao Tie, but I don't know how many people in this world can't do it if they want to practice to the cultivator realm, I think I'm very lucky to have you to help me. ”

"Do you really think so?"

Wu Neng nodded, "Besides, I'm still a trick magician after all, and the most suitable for me is definitely the trick technique." ”

Shi Cheng nodded, "By the way, Lao Wu, when it comes to the mechanism technique, how are your mechanisms replenished, I heard you say before that you are building a mechanism crossbow." ”

Wu Neng's eyes lit up, "Lao Shi, my machine man has been replenished by seventy, and the machine crossbow and two mysterious machine weapons are also almost done, I originally wanted to talk to you and Lao Tie about this when I left Xianyou Village, but there were too many things happening in the village at that time, plus there were people from the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce by the side along the way, I didn't want to expose my identity as a machine magician to them, so I never told you." ”
