Chapter 10: A New Beginning
"That's right. ”
Hearing that the other party had revealed his identity as soon as he came up, Lu Chengfeng was a little surprised. At that moment, he thought that the other party would also lower the price, but soon felt that it was wrong. If it was just to say this, the Yunlan Chamber of Commerce would just send an ordinary shopkeeper, and there was no need to drive this seventh-order master to go out in person.
This master, there should be other purposes for looking for him.
Seeing Lu Chengfeng admit it happily, the man in the swordsman suit nodded with satisfaction and said, "You must be surprised, why did I tell you this in person?"
Lu Chengfeng nodded, he was indeed a little curious.
The man in the swordsman's suit tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair rhythmically a few times, as if considering how to speak. After a few seconds of pause, he smiled faintly: "According to the information we have received, the Black Wolf Bandit Group has been dispatched this time. Your Excellency's Tianhong has only hired a fifth-order swordsman temporarily. With such a difference in strength, how did you defeat them? I heard that one of the most important reasons was that Your Excellency personally took action and showed good sword skills?"
"Sword skills?"
Lu Chengfeng's heart was shocked, and he knew why this man in swordsman uniform came!
He didn't expect that he just casually revealed the Lu family's secret sword skills, and it was only a low-level basic light sword technique, which actually attracted the attention of others so quickly. While secretly reflecting on it, Lu Chengfeng was also thinking quickly about how to answer him.
Seeing Lu Chengfeng groaning, the man in the swordsman suit thought that he didn't want to say it, so he spoke again: "Many swordsmen have their own unique skills, which is normal. We also have so much curiosity to look at them one by one. It's just that a swordsman apprentice who was still very talented before suddenly crossed the ranks and killed a fourth-order bandit, which is quite strange. Of course, our Yunlan Chamber of Commerce has never forced people to do things. If you don't want to, you can turn around and leave, and we won't stop you. But if you are willing to solve your doubts, we are willing to buy your ship, along with the Tianhong, for 60,000 gold coins!"
60,000 gold coins!
If it were a normal price, that shipment alone would be enough to sell for 60,000. Counting the Tianhong itself, it may be sold for 90,000 or even 100,000 gold coins. However, while the man in the swordsman suit in front of him was smiling and erasing his 30,000 gold, he also boasted of kindness and reward, which made Lu Chengfeng a little disgusted.
I have been cheated by a flying ship, do I have to thank you in return?
But this world is so absurd!
"I think you know about the Truman Chamber of Commerce. With them, the chambers of commerce at the entire airport will seize the opportunity to crack down on you, and it is no longer possible for your goods to be sold at the right price. As for the Tianhong...... I guess you don't have any idea of continuing to run the business, do you? Looking at the entire Kaiyang, we Yunlan Chamber of Commerce have the ability and confidence to fight against them. Think about it, if you miss us, you really won't have a chance. ”
The man in the swordsman suit was very confident, and whispered in an unhurried tone.
A moment of silence.
Lu Chengfeng pondered it for a while and finally decided to agree to the deal.
Just as the man in the swordsman suit said, with the city lord of Changyuan City and the black wolf bandits, he would definitely not run the business. Moreover, Lu Chengfeng's own ambition is not a small businessman. Even if the swordsman didn't mention it, he would sell it himself. Although 60,000 gold coins with goods on board is indeed a big loss, compared to the price of 20,000 or even 10,000 in other chambers of commerce, this amount can already be accepted by Lu Chengfeng. As for swordsmanship......
That's not a problem.
"The reason why I was able to kill Zhao Tianhao was of course due to my sword skills, but it was more because of coincidence. Lu Chengfeng pondered for a moment, and then thought of all the words: "Two days before that, my fighting spirit had just advanced to the third order after being stuck for many years. Zhao Tianhao was a little careless after killing two people in a row, so I seized the opportunity. ”
"Really?"
The man in the swordsman's suit was noncommittal, but he actually believed it in his heart. After all, on the Mofeng Continent, there are many cases of being killed by the enemy because of carelessness, and there are some top masters among them. But in order to confirm, he still said, "Can you show me the sword technique that killed the fourth-order bandit?"
"Of course. ”
Lu Chengfeng hadn't rejected this man's capital yet, he drew his sword, slid forward and launched a three-stage slash.
The biggest feature of the three-stage slash is that it turns continuously in an instant. Moreover, in this process, the swordsman not only did not force the reluctance to change direction, but there was a kind of smooth flow. After each turn, the power on the sword will also be superimposed in layers of subtlety that ordinary people can't imagine, and finally make the power of the third slash reach the maximum.
But right now, Lu Chengfeng's "three-stage slash" has become another skill.
The two consecutive slide changes are still there, but the rounded connection is gone, replaced by a blunt turn. Ordinary swordsmen may not be able to grasp the flaws in the middle, but as long as the master with a good eye is accurate, he can basically find and use it. What's even worse is that after this blunt turn, the power of the three-stage slash is also getting weaker and weaker every time. When it comes to the third sword, the strength on it is only half of the first sword!
It can be said that this three-stage slash, except for some highlights in the acceleration and direction change skills of the sliding step, cannot enter the eyes of the swordsman in the man's eyes.
For him, aside from that bit of goodness, this sword skill was not much stronger than other third-order sword skills.
After asking Lu Chengfeng to demonstrate it again, the swordsman in uniform concealed the disappointment in his eyes. He bowed his head slightly, applauded, and said, "Good sword skills, if you suddenly use it, you may indeed kill and injure a fourth-order swordsman if you are caught off guard." So, in order to thank Mr. Lu Chengfeng for your cooperation, I think this deal should be negotiated. ”
"That's great!"
After putting away the sword again, Lu Chengfeng showed gratitude and excitement just right, but he was a little lucky in his heart.
The information obtained by this swordsman in uniform is still not accurate enough, compared to the three-stage slash when he crosses the level of killing, the ground crack wave sword he released, killing three enemies of the same level in one fell swoop, is more valuable.
However, who says that a cross-tier kill is always more noticeable than a battle of the same tier!
It was precisely because of this that the man in the swordsman suit ignored the sword skill of the Earth Crack Wave Sword. The information he got was that Lu Chengfeng had taken advantage of the location to knock down the three bandits from the flying ship in one fell swoop - since there were many ways to do this, he misjudged the real exquisite sword skills.
Fortunately, no matter how tortuous the process was, after the man in the swordsman uniform boarded the ship and inspected the goods, Lu Chengfeng, who had hit a wall one after another, finally signed a contract with the man at the Yunlan Chamber of Commerce.
From this moment on, the Tianhong, along with the cargo and crew on it, belonged to the Yunlan Chamber of Commerce. As the owner of the ship, Lu Chengfeng also broke away from the identity of a merchant and obtained 60,000 gold coins in one fell swoop. If he was willing, taking this money to bribe him would be enough to help him get a small piece of good fief in the Tianyuan Dynasty.
However, Lu Chengfeng obviously won't do that.
"That's right, Mr. Wang Feng. ”
Just when Lu Chengfeng shook hands with him and was about to turn around and leave, the man in the swordsman suit seemed to think of something, and suddenly stopped him: "Although I am not very optimistic, from a personal point of view, I have decided to give you a message for free." Well, still bad news. You may be reluctant to hear it, but it will certainly help you. ”
Lu Chengfeng was stunned, stopped and asked, "What news?"
The man in the swordsman suit smiled and said, "The city lord of Changyuan City is a very face-saving person, and Lin Dongtian will generally not be polite to those who dare to cut his face. Originally, you just offended his son, but after the black wolf bandit group returned in vain, this matter has risen to his face problem. According to what I know about him, if there are no accidents, Lin Dongtian will soon send someone to hunt you down. Maybe that person was a black wolf, or maybe it wasn't. But one thing is for sure, the people who come are at least the fifth order!"
Lu Chengfeng's eyes blinked, this is really bad news.
The man looked at Lu Chengfeng, who had a calm face, bowed his head secretly, and finally said: "If I were you, I would quickly find a hidden place to hide after taking the 60,000 gold coins, and wait until I have avoided the limelight." However, out of prejudice against the city lord of Changyuan City, I still hope that you can bring him a little unpleasantness. ”
Sure enough, it's not going to deal with the city lord of Changyuan City......
Lu Chengfeng suddenly turned pale, why would this guy be so kind to remind himself.
Although he was a little unhappy, Lu Chengfeng politely thanked him, and then left the Yunlan Chamber of Commerce with the magic crystal card with 60,000 gold coins. Next, after returning to Tianhong and finally announcing his decision, and issuing the pension, Lu Chengfeng completely settled with his previous identity.
From now on, the life that belonged to Captain Wang Feng was over, and he was replaced by Lu Chengfeng, a third-order swordsman.
At this moment, he stood on the dock of the airport, feeling a little light, but a little confused and stunned. However, the once firm sword heart made Lu Chengfeng quickly regain his spirits!
A new life was about to begin, and with enough gold in his hand, he began to make a list of his progress. But before that, he first wrote a note, and then when he passed through the Truman Chamber of Commerce, he entrusted a homeless man to send it in for the price of a silver coin.
"Today's events, keep in mind below, and another day will be rewarded. ”
The signature is: You know who I am, wait and see!
Just five minutes later, the swearing homeless man was pushed out, looking blue and swollen. Lu Chengfeng, who knew that it had been delivered, was slightly cold in his heart, lowered his head and pulled down his hood, and threw a gold coin to the homeless man when he hurriedly passed by, and then quickly disappeared into the crowd.
That day won't be long!
