Chapter 69: The New Land
Before talking about business, private detective Daboynes asked one thing: "Madam, with your identity and status, there are capable people who can do things for you, and you don't have to ask me to do these three things." ”
Zhuo Yuling was silent for a moment and replied, "I don't want others to know about the last two things, especially the people of the Lu family. ”
Daboynes said with a smile: "The thing of clearing the wasteland is done for the Lu family, but this is just a disguise, the matter of saving people and killing people is done for you, Madame?" ”
Zhuo Yuling frowned slightly: "I remember that you didn't talk so much before, let's talk about the price." ”
Da Bo Ines pondered for a moment and offered a bid for the three things Zhuo Yuling proposed:
"The first thing, open up the wasteland, this has a price, the piece of land you want, three thousand oceans, needless to say."
Zhuo Yuling nodded and agreed.
Daboynes continued: "The second thing, finding someone, it's hard, it's harder than looking for a needle in a haystack.
If a needle falls into the sea, it won't run around on its own, but your daughter, who is now hiding from the He family, wants to find her, it's not that easy. ”
Hearing this, Zhuo Yuling was displeased, but there was no trace on her face: "Who did you hear that the He family wanted to kill my daughter?" What did my daughter do to be sorry for the He family? ”
Daboians smiled: "Madam, there is no impermeable wall in the world, this thing did not come from me, and you don't need to lose your temper with me, I just want to tell you that this thing is not easy to do." ”
Zhuo Yuling extinguished her cigarette and didn't dwell on this topic: "You just have to make a price, don't say much other nonsense." ”
Daboynes held out a finger: "Ten thousand oceans." ”
Zhuo Yuling asked, "Is the matter guaranteed?" ”
Daboians shook his head and said, "No, but if you can't find anyone, I won't take your money." ”
Zhuo Yuling nodded: "Okay, just according to the price you said." ”
"The third thing, kill someone, kill this Li Banfeng, it's best to catch the ...... alive" Daboynes thought for a moment, "Alive, 20,000 oceans, dead, 10,000 oceans." ”
Zhuo Yuling took a sip of the teacup, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Kill a miscellaneous piece, and you also need 10,000 oceans?" Do you think that's appropriate? ”
She wanted to say that Li Banfeng's cheap life, how could it be compared with Lu Xiaolan.
But the words were not spoken.
She doesn't compare Li Banfeng to her daughter.
In fact, according to the live price offered by Da Boians, Li Banfeng is worth more than her daughter.
Da Bo Ines looked at the information about Li Banfeng and said to Zhuo Yuling: "I don't know the details of Li Banfeng, and your information is not accurate, which means that I have to take a big risk." ”
"Why is the information inaccurate?" Zhuo Yuling frowned slightly.
Daboynes was very patient: "Madam, your intelligence says that Li Banfeng has not cultivated, but as far as I know, he is a cultivator who has attained the level. ”
"Cultivator?" Zhuo Yuling didn't believe Daboynes, "How do you know he's a cultivator?" ”
Daboines laughed, "I said I just met him, do you believe it?" ”
"Have you seen him?" Zhuo Yuling smiled and shook her head.
Naturally, she wouldn't believe this kind of thing.
Da Bo Ians didn't know Li Banfeng at all, and it was impossible for him to have any dealings with Li Banfeng.
Da Boynes thought that the person he met on the road just now was Li Banfeng, the man who was dressed in a bewitching manner.
"Your offer is too high," Zhuo Yuling lit another cigarette, shook her head and said, "Li Banfeng is not worth so much money." ”
"I don't care how much he's worth, but I'm worth the price." Daboynes lifted his sunglasses.
Zhuo Yuling tried her best to control her emotions, maintained a soft and lazy smile and said: "Dabinzi, I called you here because I remembered the love of acquaintance, and you don't know how to advance or retreat." ”
"Mrs. Xie raises love," Daboynes took off his top hat, saluted again, and then lowered his voice and said, "I call you Mrs., and I can also look up to you, Xiao Lingzi, you have become Mrs. Kuo, why are you still so petty?" ”
The corners of Zhuo Yuling's eyes twitched, and her eyes showed a cold light: "Spider Bin, you look a little shallow when you speak." ”
Da Bo Ines smiled: "Gecko Ling, you yourself look a little measured, you can afford to pay, I will help you with things, you can't afford to pay, you find someone else." ”
Zhuo Yuling's expression changed, laziness and indifference disappeared, replaced by anger that was difficult to hide.
Daboyns put on his top hat and still had a very gentlemanly smile on his face.
……
Li Banfeng sat in the gatehouse of Yujiazhai and chatted with the old Zhu Tou who guarded the door.
Li Banfeng said that he was a friend of Yu Nan, and Lao Zhu believed it, so he didn't doubt it at all.
"Boss Li, you are our friend at first glance, she likes to wear men's clothes like you."
Wearing men's clothes?
I was meant to be a man!
What's the matter with this old man......
Li Banfeng touched his face and felt a slippery feeling.
What is this?
Blush?
Li Banfeng suddenly realized, no wonder the spider in the canyon wanted to call him Madam, and the bloody slut painted him with heavy makeup.
When did she move, why didn't I notice?
"Mr. Zhu, please make me a basin of water, and I will wash my face."
Lao Zhu is a long-term worker in Yu Nan's family, and he entered the Yu family at the age of seventeen and has been working until today.
Now that he is older, he can't do long-term work, and Yu Nan didn't quit Lao Zhu, and gave him two rooms in Xindi and asked him to help guard Yu's village.
The so-called Yujiazhai is two rows of wooden houses, and there can be seven or eight rooms in one row.
These two rows of wooden houses are very special, they are surrounded by endless forests, and it is pitch black, only this place where the wooden houses are located, which is bright.
Li Banfeng looked up at the sky and found that there was a little halo in the night sky, which was impartial, and it was projected onto the Yu family's mansion.
Where does this light come from?
Falling to the ground, there is no excessive divergence, according to Li Banfeng's understanding, there should be a light source with excellent performance and high accuracy in the high altitude.
But Lao Zhu's understanding is not like this.
"Originally, there was no skylight in the new land, and only after the land was cleared did the skylight shine in."
"Skylight!" Li Banfeng was nervous for a while, and he remembered the light of the sky he had illuminated.
Lao Zhu waved his hand again and again: "It's not that skylight, this is the light that should be in the daytime." ”
Li Banfeng asked, "Is it also pitch black here?" ”
"That's not it," Lao Zhu sighed lightly, "It's not easy for a young shopkeeper to run a cloth shop alone, and I have saved more than a thousand oceans, all of which have been spent on this new land." ”
Li Banfeng couldn't understand it even more: "This land was bought?" ”
"Buy? Where to buy? Lao Zhu smiled bitterly, "The young shopkeeper hired six people to open up the wasteland, one person gave two hundred oceans, and five of the six people died before this land was opened." ”
"Five out of six died? Can you plant the dead? Li Banfeng was stunned.
Lao Zhu explained: "Clearing the wasteland is not farming, it is living in the wasteland for three days, and the master's family first goes to the alliance for the alliance, and then sends people to open up the wasteland.
When the pioneers go in today and come out in three days, as long as the ground is lit up and the master's family drips blood and leaves a mark, the land will be opened. ”
What is the process?
Li Banfeng was confused when he heard it.
Lao Zhu explained carefully, and Li Banfeng had some idea.
Yu Nan opened up this wasteland, which was divided into three steps.
In the first step, Yu Nan brought offerings, sacrificed to the gods in the wilderness, and made a covenant with the gods, and it is unknown which god was sacrificed.
The second step, on the day of the covenant, Yu Nan sent the wasteland to live in the wasteland for three days and three nights, as long as one of the wasteland can survive, it will be considered a success.
In the third step, Yu Nan returned to the wasteland and left his own blood on the ground as a mark, and the land became Yu Nan's.
In terms of process, Li Banfeng roughly understood.
But this process does not make sense.
"Yu Nan hired six people, and five died, and the last one who survived dripped blood on the wasteland, didn't the wasteland become his?"
Lao Zhu shook his head and said, "No, he didn't make a covenant with the gods of this land. ”
"Isn't it easy to make a covenant? Wouldn't it be okay to put an offering on the table? ”
"Still no, our young shopkeeper has made a covenant with the gods of this land, and the gods will not accept other people's tribute within three days.
If he makes a covenant with another place, it will be his own land, and he will have to pay for the money of the wasteland, and spend a thousand oceans to buy such a piece of wasteland, depending on whether he is willing or not. ”
Li Banfeng still didn't understand: "Since the pioneers are not willing to buy it themselves, why does Yu Nan still spend a lot of money to buy this land?" ”
Lao Zhu sighed and said: "The young shopkeeper wants to leave a way back, and she won't listen to any of us who persuade her." ”
Li Banfeng didn't ask any more questions, he was now more concerned about Yu Nan's itinerary than clearing the wasteland.
"Lao Zhu, when will you young shopkeepers come?"
Lao Zhu thought for a while and said, "You said before that they set off last night, and it is estimated that they will be able to arrive tomorrow night." ”
"Two days and two nights?"
Lao Zhu nodded: "Two days and two nights are considered fast." ”
Li Banfeng came early.
He was a traveling cultivator, and it took him seven hours to get to the new land.
But Yu Nan doesn't have this ability, she also has a group of subordinates who have not cultivated and a bunch of heavy belongings, and she can arrive in two days, which is indeed considered to be fast.
Lao Zhu got up and said, "Boss Li, I'll clean up the house for you, you take a bath, rest for a while, and I'll prepare dinner." ”
When they first met, Li Banfeng only briefly introduced himself, but he didn't expect Lao Zhu to suspect him at all.
"Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?" Li Banfeng asked casually.
Lao Zhu shook his head: "This is Yujiazhai, this is the territory of the young shopkeeper, there are gods to protect the young shopkeeper, the bad guys dare not come here, as long as the young shopkeeper drops blood in Yujiazhai, whoever dares to break in will be crushed." ”
Li Banfeng was stunned: "There is still such a thing? ”
……
Yu Nan took a group of subordinates and still trekked on the road.
This journey was slower than expected, because there were too many wounded soldiers under his hands, plus a Qin Xiaopang, except for eating and sleeping, he hardly woke up.
There are still a hundred miles away from Jiangyue Mountain, and Yu Nan received the news that the Yu family's old house was burned.
Although it was expected, everyone's eyes were still red with anger, and Wang Xuejiao scolded: "Geng Zhiwei, this bastard, has to chop him up and feed him to the dogs!" Shopkeeper, let's not go, look for him desperately! ”
A group of people followed and shouted: "Find them desperately!" ”
"Can't spare Geng Zhiwei's eight lambs!"
Yu Nan bit the cigarette stick fiercely and did not make a sound.
Zhang Shiquan, the old treasurer, persuaded: "The gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, let's listen to the shopkeeper, and we will say a few words." ”
After walking for more than 30 miles, everyone was resting on the side of the road, and a guy ran to deliver a letter, wheezing and saying: "Shopkeeper, Geng's medicine store was burned by someone, Geng Zhiwei doesn't know his whereabouts, he should have been burned to death!" ”
Yu Nan was stunned and speechless.
Geng's medicine store was burned?
Who did this to you?
PS: Hey, the officer, there is a pot of hot wine for the salad, come here and talk together.
