Chapter 66: Business Without Capital
The battle outside Wuling Town was thrilling and intense, and Ran Bizhi and Meng Chuanqing were both defeated.
After escaping from the woods wounded, Ran Bizhi finally lost his strength and fainted on the side of the road. When he awoke, he found himself lying in a carriage with an ordinary-looking man in fine clothes sitting beside him, flipping through the books in his hand.
Ran Bizhi asked, "This brother, you saved me?"
The boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he chuckled when he heard this: "You are in my carriage, who else can you have if I didn't save you?"
Ran Bizhi hugged his fists and thanked lightly, picked up the Moyang knife in his hand and wanted to get out of the car, but was stopped by the son's words. "A thank you isn't enough, you have to do something for me. ”
Ran Bizhi was stunned, "Is this a reward for saving your life?"
"Of course!" the boy closed the book and looked at him squarely, "I am a businessman, everything is based on profit, I can't save you in vain and do business without capital." ”
"What do you want me to do?"
"My surname is Huo, and this time I went to Suzhou on my father's orders to negotiate a deal, but the result was not ideal. I heard that there is a hidden master in Cangwu Mountain, who holds thousands of wealth in his hands, if I can win his favor and get a piece of the pie, I can avoid my father's punishment of me. ”
Ran Bizhi looked at him in surprise, he didn't expect this boy to have such courage at a young age, and listened to the man: "It's just that this is a long way to Cangwu Mountain, and thieves are rampant." It's just the two of us, I'm afraid it's sad to be on this mountain. Therefore, I would like to ask you to escort us. ”
"You decided to do this after you saved me? Why do you think I'm going to say yes to you? Ran Bizhi was a little unhappy.
"Over the years, I have traveled all over the country, reading countless people, good people and evil people, you can see at a glance. Your Excellency is a Jianghu person, you must not be an ungrateful person, right?Or, if you can give me back the medicine to heal your internal injuries, I will let you go, how about it?" Huo Gongzi was eloquent, forcing Ran Bizhi to be speechless.
Although Huo Gongzi didn't say what kind of medicine saved him, he knew that it was the unavoidable Tianlian Rui, otherwise, with his injuries, he would have already died. This person is indeed a life-saving grace to him, but if he really goes to Cangwu Mountain with her, what should he do about his own affairs? Therefore, he had to shirk and said: "What you said makes sense, but I am injured now, and I am afraid that I will not be able to help much." "Although there is no need for life, it may take some time for this internal injury to recover.
Huo Gongzi smiled: "Don't shirk. With your ability, it is more than enough to deal with these bandits. With a treasure sword in hand, how can your kung fu be bad?"
"Do you recognize my knife?" Ran Bizhi was a little strange, the people who knew his knife were hiding far away, and this person actually dared to ask him to be a bodyguard.
Huo Gongzi said: "I don't recognize your knife, but the material of your knife is of the highest quality." ”
Ran Bizhi was speechless again, if he was really a businessman, his vision was really unique, he thought about it, and had to sit back in the carriage.
Huo Gongzi shouted outward: "Mingxi, you can go." The carriage moved and swept away.
Huo Gongzi calculated that Ran Bizhi would go with him, but he did not calculate Ran Bizhi's identity.
Ran Bizhi is a killer after all, with a strong ability to survive, even if he is seriously injured, he has also solved many thieves along the way. However, the Moyang knife is too famous. In just a few days, the news that Ran Bizhi was in Cangwu Mountain spread all over the rivers and lakes. So, several enemies took advantage of his injuries and chased him down. Ran Bizhi fought bloodily and fell into a siege.
"Mingxi, how can this be?" Huo Gongzi hid in the carriage, a little puzzled, and asked his entourage, "Those don't look like bandits, why are they all flocking?"
"Childe, he has too many enemies. Not only did it fail to protect us, but it attracted more enemies. "Mingxi Road.
"Let's go!" Ran Bizhi quickly got rid of the group, climbed into the carriage, and whipped to speed up.
"Who the hell are you?" Huo Gongzi asked.
"I'll give you a piece of advice, the next time you hire a bodyguard, you must investigate the identity of the other party, otherwise, you won't know how you died. Before Ran Bizhi finished speaking, he suddenly reined in the horse's reins. There is another group of people ahead!
"This ...... Childe, I knew we wouldn't save him. Looking at the group of people in front of them, the master and servant wanted to cry without tears.
Ran Bizhi grabbed the Moyang knife and got out of the car. After a few steps, the people in front of them fell one by one. Just as he was wondering, he saw a black-clothed young man walk out of the path next to him. The young man was leading a white horse, and a man was sitting on it.
"Lord. Ran Bizhi was stunned, "Nanhua, why are you here?"
"If you don't come again, you'll be sold. Ye Weiyang looked at the carriage behind him, smiling.
Nanhua stepped forward and smiled innocently: "Brother Ran, the lord knows that you are in trouble, and he specially rushed to save you, let's go back." "Pull Ran Bizhi and leave.
"Wait!" Huo Gongzi got out of the carriage, "He can't go!" He looked at Ran Bizhi, "Don't forget, you promised me to escort me to Cangwu Mountain." Do you want to break your word?"
"Of course not. Ran Bizhi looked at Ye Weiyang with embarrassment: "Lord, I can't leave yet." ”
"You just want a bodyguard, I'll change him, how about it?" Ye Weiyang said in a shocking voice, "Miss Huo!"
Ran Bizhi looked back at Huo Gongzi in surprise, his face full of shock, this person is actually a woman?
Nanhua said: "Lord, how are you ...... He's a man!"
"Ahh ”
"You?" Being recognized at a glance, Huo Gongzi was a little angry, "Deliberately!"
Ye Weiyang chuckled silently, Huo Yanhua looked at him, and her heart suddenly throbbed, "Why?"
"It must be my man, and I will keep him safe and sound. If I forcibly take this elm away, I am afraid that he will not be at peace in the future. This trick you have under can be put on my big fish, which can be described as a steady profit, what else is there to hesitate about?" Ye Weiyang dismounted and approached Huo Yanhua step by step.
"How can people believe a stranger who meets for the first time?" Huo Yanhua squinted at him.
"You don't have a choice. Ye Weiyang said: "I also want to get a piece of the wealth of the old man, if you don't want to go along, we will each rely on our abilities." ”
Huo Yanhua thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "You think it's quite beautiful, since you are willing to replace him as my bodyguard, then you have to listen to me all the way." As for riches, if I am pleased, I may reward you with a few grains of silver. With that, he turned around and got into the carriage.
This woman, but also sharp teeth, Ye Weiyang thought about it and ordered Nanhua: "You take Bizhi back to heal first, I will go to Cangwu Mountain, and I will go back soon." ”
Three days passed quickly, and Ye Weiyang did not come back. Jiang Caiqing really couldn't bear it, and took Nanhua and Mo Tian to Cangwu Mountain. He didn't think about it, and directly set fire to the mountain. Mo Tian didn't have any feelings, so he didn't care much, but Nanhua was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped him. Jiang Caiqing didn't bother to listen to his words, so he directly fell down.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, burning along the mountain, and the entire Cangwu Mountain was plunged into a firelight. Jiang Caiqing clenched his fists, looked at the vast fire, and was extremely angry in his heart: Weiyang, you forced me, if you want to leave, I can't let you live.
Ye Weiyang, Huo Yanhua and Mingxi were delayed for a long time in Cangwu Mountain. First, he helped the old man Cangwu subdue his three rebellious disciples, and then went to the side of the Cangwu Cliff to retrieve the Cangwu holy water for him, and then the old man agreed to give half of his treasure to Huo Yanhua. The trio were happily digging for gold halfway up the mountain, when a sudden fire caused them to abandon their treasure and flee.
This inexplicable fire burned very violently, and Ye Weiyang took the two girls to drill and jump around, so it was not hard. Rao is extremely wise and has nothing to do, surrounded by jungle on all sides, there is nowhere to hide.
"Young Master Weiyang, you don't have to worry about us, go by yourself, with your ability, you will definitely be able to leave here. Take us with you, and it will only drag you down. Huo Yanhua's heart was horizontal and she shook off the night.
"This fire ......" Ye Weiyang's face suddenly turned pale, "Could it be that Xiaobai put it?" He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have been away from the Confused Hall for several days. Usually, once he hasn't heard from him for more than three days, the guy goes crazy.
"Hide here for a while, and I'll go down and find someone to save you. Ye Weiyang led the two girls to the clearing, and with a whoosh, they jumped into the smoky woods.
Ye Weiyang thought to himself, with such a fierce fire, it was a little reluctant for him to escape alone, if he brought these two weak girls, none of the three would survive. If it was really Jiang Caiqing's fire, he could have come up to save these two people. If there is anyone in this world who can come and go freely in the fire, I am afraid that only their sister and brother are the only ones.
"Sure enough, you're a madman!" Ye Weiyang came out of the ravine with a confused face.
Although he had guessed that it was Jiang Caiqing who set the fire, he was still a little surprised to see his ruthless face. So, angry, he raised his leg and kicked at Jiang Caiqing, thinking that the other party would dodge, but Jiang Caiqing saw him and was so surprised that he forgot to dodge. As a result, Ye Weiyang was knocked to the ground by the true qi he instinctively emitted, and to make matters worse, his leg was lame.
Jiang Caiqing hurriedly helped him up, "Weiyang, it's okay, you're still alive." ”
Ye Weiyang shook off his hand and shouted angrily: "You madman! Do you know how many people there are on this mountain? Damn, where did Lao Tzu treat you badly, you have to burn me alive before you are willing!" Jiang Caiqing can always easily make him lose his demeanor.
"What does it matter to me the lives of the people on the mountain? "Jiang Caiqing is too cold-blooded.
"You lunatic...... I've forgotten what I'm doing when I'm fighting with you here. Ye Weiyang suddenly remembered, "The two girls of the Huo family are still on the mountain, Xiaobai, you go and rescue them." ”
Jiang Caiqing's eyes glared: "I said, other people's lives have nothing to do with me, why should I save them?"
"Okay, don't save it, right? Lao Tzu will save it himself!" Ye Weiyang got angry and jumped into the sea of fire.
Jiang Caiqing was quick-eyed, grabbed Ye Weiyang's collar and pulled him back. In order to prevent Ye Weiyang from doing this again, he wanted to seal his acupoint. Ye Weiyang had already calculated, his eyes widened, and he said, "You dare to order me to try!"
"Hmph!" Jiang Cai was extremely angry, let go, waved his sleeves, and then the white shadow flashed and got into the woods.
Nanhua looked at Ye Weiyang's cat-like face and took a pot of water, "Lord, do you want to wash it?"
Ye Weiyang snatched the kettle and raised his head to take a sip. When the kettle was empty, Jiang Caiqing returned, carried one person in each hand and threw it on the ground.
Before Ye Weiyang could react, he was grabbed by Jiang Caiqing and walked down the mountain.
"Young Master Weiyang, where are you going?" Huo Yanhua got up from the ground in embarrassment, intending to follow Ye Weiyang.
Ye Weiyang limped and followed Jiang Caiqing forward, raised his hand and gestured to Nanhua, asking him to take the two girls with him.
When a few people walked halfway, Ye Weiyang saw a big river and jumped into the water with a plop. Jiang Caiqing's face turned white, and the two stared at the river for a long time.
"Weiyang Gongzi, thank you for taking care of me and Mingxi these days, let's say goodbye. Huo Yanhua stepped forward to interrupt the two.
"It's a pity, if it weren't for this fire, you'd have gotten what you wanted. Ye Weiyang said and glared at Jiang Caiqing again.
"It's okay, maybe it's providence. Huo Yanhua shook her head and sighed lightly, and went down the stream. seemed to be a little reluctant, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Ye Weiyang: "Childe, I don't know when we can meet again?"
Ye Weiyang said something: "I think, it won't be long before you take care of us." ”
Huo Yanhua looked back, took a photo of the river, her peerless figure was engraved in everyone's heart, and her life will also change at this moment.
After Ye Weiyang returned to the Confused Hall, he rested for a long time, and then went to Jiang Caiqing to discuss things. When he limped into Jiang Caiqing's room, he found a woman trapped in his room.
He circled around the woman and asked, "Meng Chuanxin?" At the Mo Ye Conference, he had seen her catch Meng Chuanqing from a distance, and guessed her identity. It's a sight, but it's hard to forget. "Why are you here?"
Meng Chuan's heart acupoint was sealed, and he couldn't get lucky, so he was trapped in the room all the time. Jiang Caiqing stayed here every day, doing nothing, just looking at her, and she could only sit there and let him watch. What she couldn't bear the most was that person actually shared the same bed with her! Every night when she fell asleep, Jiang Caiqing had to hug her, and if she resisted a little, she would be sealed in her sleeping hole.
At first, she thought that Jiang Caiqing had something wrong and swore to clean to the death, but who knew that the strange person just hugged her and fell asleep quickly, and did not do anything to her. Despite this, she spent several days in a panic and could not sleep peacefully. She had tried to escape more than once, but to no avail.
"Who are you?" Meng Chuanxin had never seen Ye Weiyang. At the Mo Ye Conference, she was anxious about Meng Chuan's affection and didn't care about other people.
"I'm Meng Chuanqing's friend, you can call me by my name, Ye Weiyang. Ye Weiyang looked at her, and the more she looked at her, the more she felt like a person.
