Still a chance?

Slowly raised his head in surprise, Fang Yucheng's eyes were a little incredulous.

Offended such a master, he no longer had the luxury of expecting to have a chance, it was a great luck to be able to get out of the way, and now he heard that there was still room for turnaround, how could he not be surprised?

Seeing Su Zhennan nodding solemnly, the city lord's eyes suddenly had brilliance, and the whole person seemed to come to life!

"That being said, this is just my guess......"

Words without confidence are enough to make Fang Yutang feel uplifted!

Sitting up straight, the lord of the castle seemed to have the demeanor of the past again, and in addition to gratitude, a rare determination burst out in his eyes.

"Brother Xian, you can give such guidance regardless of your previous suspicions, Brother Fool is already full of feelings!"

"Don't say guess, even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, I will try my best, and I will order someone to bring out the letter tonight, so that the dog can return quickly!"

The hearts of the three of them finally had a hint of relief, and they could occasionally hear a little laughter between the glasses of wine and the suspicions.

But at the thought of coming to visit again, even though they were not going in person, their hearts were still full of anticipation, and they couldn't help but start to get nervous.

Fang Cheng, who is extremely talented, can he get into the eyes of Mr.?

Early morning.

After ordering Tao Qian to bring out the family letter, the city lord dealt with the affairs that had piled up in the middle of the night, and he had just fallen asleep.

Before the tired body was completely relaxed, the lady's soft call came from behind the ears.

"Husband~Husband~A distinguished guest has arrived......"

The hazy sleepy eyes were difficult to open at all, after two days of suffering, Fang Yutang's whole body was physically and mentally exhausted, where could he care about what noble guests were not noble.

He waved his hand behind him haphazardly, and he didn't bother to turn around.

"If you don't see it, you won't see ......"

Hearing that she had not received visitors for three consecutive days, the virtuous Mrs. Fang did not dare to ask more, but after hesitating for a few breaths, she decided to remind her softly again.

"Husband...... It was Deacon Xue from Wanbao Pavilion who came. ”

This person, although she has a bad reputation, she is a well-known figure in Cangyue City, and many things can't escape this relationship, and she knows that she can't be snub at will.

Sure enough, when the lord heard this, he immediately jumped up from the soft collapse.

As soon as he changed his tiredness and fatigue just now, he tidied up his clothes and strode out of the door.

It's just that the back of leaving in an instant always seems to be different from usual.

in the living room.

Deacon Xue, who was enjoying the fragrant tea, had a ruddy face.

The bloated figure is not so comfortable to sit on, but the mood seems to be very good, obviously not caring about such trivial things, and always with a smile on his face.

"Deacon Xue. ”

A deep greeting made the chubby hands put down the teacup.

Standing up to salute, Xue Qiang's eyes were almost slit.

"Lord of the city, I have no choice but to come to the door early in the morning, and I hope the city lord will forgive me~"

This is true.

In just three days, the guests of Cangyue City were affected by the momentum, and the situation that was originally evenly divided had already gained a one-sided momentum.

Tianyuan Tower is overcrowded, but Wanbao Pavilion is rarely crowded.

Even if a few monks entered the shop, it didn't take long for them to be dissuaded by the high price.

However, Fang Yutang glanced at the visitor, but he didn't see that he was a little anxious.

The faint smile that appeared on his face seemed to be more like a bamboo in his heart.

Nodding out of courtesy, the city lord sat on the main seat and looked at Xue Qiang in a deep voice.

"Deacon Xue, the lord of this city is in charge of a city, and he should ask for the people's life, since you have something to ask for, it is understandable, but this early in the morning, you may not be too anxious. ”

Xue Qiang's smile froze.

The sudden dismount made him unhappy in his heart, but he also understood that this was Fang Yutang's plan to capture and indulge, so he chuckled and perfunctory.

After sitting down, he explained with a light smile.

"What the city lord said is extremely true, but it is also a last resort, now that my Wanbao Pavilion is in danger, life and death can all look up to the city lord, there is really no other way. ”

"I don't know, how did you think about the previous suggestion?~"

It sounds like an inquiry, but there is always a triumphant tone in the words, and everyone feels very uncomfortable.

Fang Yutang naturally understood Xue Qiang's intention early on.

is nothing more than to lure himself to betray Su Zhennan.

But after yesterday, his heart had completely dispelled a momentary move, and with a sneer, he looked directly at Xue Qiang.

"Deacon Xue, this city lord has never remembered what so-called advice he promised you. ”

What a Fang Yutang!

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the lord of a city, and when he arrives at this point, he still has the vision to sit on the ground and start the price, and the means are really ruthless, and he is not an idle person in the end!

Xue Qiang's heart was full of anger, but he had to smile and say: "City Lord, everything is negotiable, everything in this world has its own price, if you are not satisfied with the previous conditions, you can tell your bottom line." ”

"It's okay to talk about it. ”

The lord of the city sat down and drank tea, but did not respond.

Seeing this, Xue Qiang's brows furrowed slightly.

But he had to continue to smile and ask: "If three Jin Yuan Dan can't work, I will add another one in my next wish~"

The city lord remained unmoved.

"Two. ”

The city lord smiled lightly.

"Three?"

The living room was still silent.

Xue Qiang suddenly became angry, suddenly got up, and there was no smile on his face, staring at Fang Yutang for several breaths before he sat down with a cloudy face.

"Huh...... Lord of the city, the six golden yuan pills are already the bottom line below, and I would like to advise you below, and it is the best policy to accept everything when you see it. ”

"Otherwise...... Hum. ”

Originally, Fang Yutang thought that the other party's offer of three Golden Yuan Dan was already a sky-high price, but now he unexpectedly heard that there was a bottom line of six, and his heart was already cold to the freezing point!

At just half the price, he almost made himself a traitor who betrayed his friends and sought glory.

This Xue Qiang is really hateful!

But having said that, Fang Yutang didn't plan to leave any more affection.

His eyes looked straight into the past and took over the conversation in a deep voice!

"Otherwise, what can we do?"

In a deep voice, Xue Qiang's expression froze, but it was only for a moment, and he smiled again, slowly rubbing his fat hands, and the wrench fingers inlaid with spirit jade shone brightly.

"Otherwise, you'll miss this opportunity, city lord. ”

"You are a smart person, you must understand that such a good opportunity will not be available every day, just move your mouth, you can get six gold yuan pills, if such a good thing is missed, wouldn't it be a pity?"

"Which is more important between the so-called brotherhood and the six golden yuan pills, you must not be bothered, right?"

After saying that, a smile appeared in Xue Qiang's eyes.

Flattering and proud, but disgusting.

The face of the so-called profiteers is nothing more than this.

But under his demagogic tone, Fang Yutang spoke calmly without changing his face.

"Deacon Xue's words, the city lord understood. ”

"However, in my heart, don't say that six Jin Yuan Dan is ten or hundred, and it is not worthy of the righteousness of brothers. ”

As soon as the words fell, the living room was silent!

The calm words, as if there was an indescribable power, directly stunned Xue Qiang, and a look of surprise that had never been seen before appeared in his face, which was full of meat.

Even, even Mrs. Fang, who took the maidservant to prepare the pastries, was so shocked that she stood in the corridor outside the door.

Late, didn't step through the door!

I don't know how many breaths passed, Xue Qiang seemed to react, and slowly got up and looked at Fang Yutang.

"City Lord, are you trying to fool you?!"

Now that he has torn his face, Fang Yutang is no longer hiding it!

"Deacon Xue's words are serious! How could the city lord have agreed to your conditions? How can you talk about fooling?!"

Having said this, Xue Qiang finally understood.

This damn Fang Yutang has no intention of promising himself at all!

Thinking that his only hope was disappointed, Xue Qiang became angry on the spot!

"Good...... Good!"

"Since the city lord is dedicated to protecting his best friends, he doesn't dare to say much, but my Wanbao Pavilion will never stop there, if he asks the Lin family in the future, no wonder he doesn't care about the relationship for many years!"

Qingzhou Linjia ......

The background that cannot be ignored, Fang Yutang's heart is also sinking.

But he has already made a decision, so he has already been prepared, got up and glanced coldly, and no longer has the mood to waste his tongue.

"Deacon Xue go slowly, don't send it!"

Xue Qiang's face turned red, but he had nothing to do, so he had to flick his long sleeves and leave angrily.

After a few breaths, Mrs. Fang walked into the living room in small steps.

The oppressive atmosphere made this virtuous lady full of sorrow.

"Husband, after today, you have a grudge against Xue Qiang, although this person is insignificant, but the Lin family is famous, and ...... in the future."

Looking at the lady with elegant makeup, Fang Yutang calmed down a little.

Looking at the deserted courtyard, all the long-suppressed emotions in his heart were vented.

"Madam, since I returned to Cangyue City, I have been cautious everywhere for more than 20 years, and I am almost about to lose the arrogance of the year. ”

"The powerful are terrible, but the arrogance cannot be abandoned. ”

"If you lose yourself for the sake of temporary gain, it is more terrible than the walking dead on a regular basis, and after so many years, I have been careful enough, and it is time to stand up. ”

Standing proudly on her back, Mrs. Fang's vision was blurred.

Once upon a time, the city lord in front of her was also a young man who asked with a sword, so she fell in love.

Now, the boy is back.

But even if she was moved in her heart, when she thought of her son, Mrs. Fang was still worried.

"Husband, what should Cheng'er ......do in the future?"

Who knows, Fang Yutang didn't turn his head back, and only whispered softly.

"Wu'er...... Maybe there will be a great opportunity, and everything depends on his creation. ”

Hearing the words in the clouds, Mrs. Fang looked puzzled, standing in the courtyard and looking westward, but there was only the afterglow of the morning sun sprinkled from the east, and there was nothing.

What's the chance......?

Two days later.

On the Qingjiang River, there are simple boats passing by.

The small wooden boat, full of pedestrians and passers-by, was full of human figures, only the bow was empty, and only one person stood quietly.

Tsing Yi long sword, thick eyebrows and high nose.

The handsome Fang Cheng is like the sword in his hand, and his whole body exudes an unusual temperament, and anyone who sees it will know that he is a monk.

The young swordsman standing quietly on the bow of the ship is like a scene in a dream, which is fascinating.

Most of the passengers are civilians, and I don't know if they are born with low self-esteem that they don't dare to approach at all, or if they peep from a distance out of respect, or even maybe they just can't bear to spoil this beautiful scene.

But this bizarre picture is destined to attract the attention of others.

Don't talk about tourists and business travel, even fishermen can't ignore it.

"Look, there's an immortal in that boat. ”

"What kind of immortals, it's just a monk, and a monk is also a human!"

"Zhang Er, you dare to be disrespectful to the monk, be careful of hardships......"

"Oh, it's really rare and strange in the village next door, it's just a monk, we can often see it in Qingshui Village, there was a fairy a few days ago, that's called a monk, it's just like a fairy!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I guess, it's Miss Su from Cangyue City, it's almost like that!"

Chen Yuling, who was fishing on the shore, heard this and immediately scoffed.

A group of mortals who have never even been to Cangyue City, what do they know, when they see a monk, they call them immortals, and if they let the people of Cangyue City see them, they will not laugh off their big teeth.

The most infuriating thing is that this group of people actually compared an ordinary female cultivator with Miss Su.

What a frog at the bottom of the well!

But she didn't care about gossip at this time, after all, she had no money to buy fishing nets, so she could only catch up with fishing and save money.

Although she was young and young, Chen Yuling was very clear about what she wanted, stared at her coldly, and continued to pay attention to the floating fish float.

On the passing fishing boats, the joyful chatter continued.

"It turns out that Miss Su is almost like that, although it is indeed so beautiful that there is nothing to say, but it doesn't seem to be as exaggerated as the rumors!"

"Tut-tut, you dry your saliva before you speak!"

"Hahahahaha~~~~~!"

"In my opinion, this monk is not much different from us mortals, few of them are as amazing as the rumors!"

"Yes, if you really want to talk about immortals, Mr. Zhang is a fairy, but people are mortals like us, don't you say strange?"

"Speaking of this, I still wonder, tell me, how can Mr. Zhang be a mortal?"

As he spoke, the topic returned to the well-known Zhang Yuan.

Chen Yuling, who was originally calm, suddenly became angry.

Once, she also thought that Zhang Yuan was a very good big brother, handsome and knowledgeable, but she saw Zhang Yuan's face clearly a few days ago!

When I saw that I was down, I didn't even borrow a few taels of silver!

Others don't know, but Chen Yuling understands very well that Zhang Yuan is definitely rich, and if he doesn't borrow money, he just looks down on himself, and he is afraid that he will not be able to repay the money in the future.

When she heard the name again, she only felt full of anger!

After packing up the rods and a few carps, he returned to the village in a fit of rage.

The sudden change of face also noticed by many people, although they didn't know why, but their simple temperament also made them not want to say anything more, for fear that they would offend someone again.

The originally cheerful chatter came to an abrupt end inexplicably.

I don't know how long it took for the occasional laughter to sound, but the kind villagers obviously had a little more scruples and didn't dare to talk casually.

At dusk, the laden fishermen set out on their way home, and there were few passenger boats on the river.

The bustling shore fell silent, wrapped in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if it was about to draw a successful end to the day.

But in this cold picture, Chen Yuling, who was dressed plainly, walked to the shore with a fishing rod.

She doesn't want to live an ordinary life like this, she still has the determination to struggle, although she returned home with a moment of spirit, but if she doesn't gain anything today, then she will go to Cangyue City one day later, and the opportunity will be one less point.

Skillfully hanging the bait and throwing the rod, Chen Yuling's quietly standing little face showed an expectant smile.

A smart little girl, who has been instructed by Zhang Yuan, although there is still a gap in fishing skills, it can be called perfect.

It didn't take long for several big fish to be harvested.

Wiping the water droplets brought by the wind and waves, Chen Yuling's mood was obviously much better.

Even though the cold river bank made her shiver a little, her petite face was full of stubbornness and unyielding expression, as if she was holding a breath in her heart.

She wants to prove.

Prove to everyone that you can definitely become a monk in the future.

When the day of the fame in Cangyue City, she will definitely come back, return all the money to Zhang Yuan with her eyebrows raised, and then renovate the old houses in the village inside and out!

Just when Chen Yuling was imagining the future, an incomparably gorgeous four-story boat sailed into the lake!

Flying eaves and arches, carved railings and paintings.

The building boat that is dozens of meters long, like a palace, moves forward in the wind and waves, like walking on the ground, even if the water is high and the waves are high, there is nothing to do!

Even if she is a girl who grew up in a fishing village since she was a child, Chen Yuling has never heard of this kind of building boat, let alone seen it with her own eyes!

Just looking at it from afar, it stayed where it was.

The inferiority complex that was bred in Cangyue City was also constantly amplified at this moment, spreading throughout the heart, and the immature heart was hit like never before!

Although her heart was shocked, Chen Yuling also knew very well that this kind of building boat must be only for cultivators.

In my lifetime, I may not be able to see it again.

So, no matter how much she admired it, she just kept it firmly in mind, and then forced herself to look away and continue to fish hard.

The gorgeous giant ship is not only driven by spiritual power provided by spirit stones, but also dozens of laborers on both sides of the bottom floor who are constantly paddling, so they can have enough power to brave the wind and waves.

The coolies who grit their teeth and row are naturally only worthy of sweating at the bottom and will not be noticed.

And above the top deck, there was a handsome young man lying on his side, and the servants and maids beside him stood quietly with their heads bowed, with only reverence in their eyes.

This person is Lin Tian, the fifth son of the Lin family.

Lin Tian, who was bored, didn't look at the slender maids at all, his humble status couldn't arouse his slightest interest, and the long trip made this young man of Qingzhou wealthy family even more drowsy.

Boredom, I had to look at the green mountains and rivers around me, hoping to have some scenery.

Unexpectedly......

This time, I really saw an interesting scene.

The petite maiden fishes on the shore, and her movements are extremely sophisticated, as if they have been tempered thousands of times, and there is no superfluous step at all.

What's even more interesting is that fish keep taking the bait.

This scene made Lin Tian's eyes flash.

Waving his hand slightly, he chuckled and commanded the guards.

"Go, bring the fisherwoman. ”

Although the guards were surprised in their hearts, they did not dare to disobey the order, and immediately jumped out of the building boat and crossed the river by treading water.

But the middle-aged man sitting next to him was smiling, and his eyes were full of strange colors.

"Lin Shao, I didn't expect you to have such a heart of pity and cherishing jade, you are really an elegant person~"

No one else dares to say this.

But Lin Tian didn't seem to mind, smiled lightly, and put down the empty cup in his hand.

"Brother Li, it's a joke. ”

"When did my son lack a woman, how could he be interested in a fisherman's girl? It's just that this woman is unusual, so I have a trace of interest. ”

Unusual?

Hearing the rare comment, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and he also restrained his smile and looked away.

After a closer look, he unconsciously stood up.
