As soon as the side door next to the pawnshop counter opened, it was no more than five feet high, but Huang Datong, who had won the respect of foreign warriors like Li Zhong, walked out of it, and didn't look at the brothers and sisters who were fighting over there, holding the door with one hand, and inviting in with the other: "Li Gongzi, please." ”

After Li Qingchen agreed, he immediately followed Huang Datong through the side door, and Huang Yiming behind him saw this and was about to follow, but was stopped by his sister, so he had to stay where he was and continue to explain to her that he was not making trouble.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Qingchen couldn't wait to put out all the gold ingots and copper coins he had won from the gambling house under the White Tiger Gang in his arms, and they were full of a large pile, almost filling the remaining part of the already crowded table on this side.

Huang Datong behind the table saw it, and he didn't delay, but immediately stretched out his hand, cleaned up a vacant space on the table, drew a clear boundary, and then picked up a handful of copper coins from the table, just weighed it a little, and put it on the open space.

Li Qingchen couldn't help but secretly say, the so-called practice makes perfect, probably that's it, he is not afraid that Huang Datong will deduct it, if he wants to calculate it clearly, he will know the amount with a sweep of his divine will, no matter how tricky you are, you can't escape his eyes.

Huang Datong only relied on one-handed weighing to calculate the number of copper coins, and said, "Did Li Gongzi go to the gambling house?"

When Li Qingchen heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Why did the shopkeeper Huang say this?"

Huang Datong didn't raise his head, but just explained to himself: "If Li Gongzi goes to get the flying money stored in the bank, then it won't take so long in time, and it is impossible to deliberately exchange so many scattered copper coins, and most of these copper coins still have a fishy smell, obviously from those fishermen, so I guess you went to the gambling house." ”

Li Qingchen suddenly understood, and couldn't help but secretly admire that Huang Datong really deserved to do this business, and he was indeed as careful as a hair, and then smiled, and did not hide it, but said calmly: "I won't tell you, I did go to the gambling house." ”

Huang Datong said: "Ordinary people go to the gambling house, it is 'luck', but you are different, you go, it is to 'withdraw money', you can have such confidence, it seems that Li Gongzi has a good gambling skill." ”

Li Qingchen sighed: "I have a father-in-law, who is very good at gambling, and has taught me these things since I was a child, but it's a pity that he died in a foreign land, and he didn't even bury his bones, alas." ”

While talking, Huang Datong had already counted all the money, and then he raised his head and kindly proposed: "You are going to the White Tiger Gang, right? With all due respect, you are a foreigner, and you have won so much money, the White Tiger Gang must not give up." If you don't dislike Li Gongzi, you can come to live in the inn under the name of my Huang family, and you bought something worth thirty gold in our pawnshop, according to the rules, there will be a certain discount on the inn, you can consider it. ”

The words can be said to be sincere, and in order to prevent Li Qingchen from being young and vigorous, he is unwilling to take refuge in the Huang family, and owes favors, so he also deliberately proposed that there would be a discount on the inn, which resolved the embarrassment, and left room for discussion, and there would be no persecution.

When Li Qingchen heard this, his brows frowned slightly, knowing that the other party had good intentions, but after thinking about it for a while, he still politely refused: "Thank you for the kindness of the shopkeeper Huang, but I have brought too many things, and it is more troublesome to move around, so I think it will be better to talk about it another day." ”

Huang Datong listened, and he stopped persuading him with interest, and reached out to return the half-run copper coin that had just been skewered out, and then pushed the wooden box and a wooden card that had been prepared in front of Li Qingchen, and explained: "If the copper coin is exchanged for gold, there will be a certain discount, but there is still an extra half-run, I will string it for you, please take it, in addition, this wooden card is a token of my Huang family, please also ask Li Gongzi to accept it." ”

Li Qingchen stretched out his hand to put away the half-run copper coin and the wooden box filled with chalcedony, and looked at the wooden plaque with exquisite carving, engraved with an ancient seal character "yellow", but did not stretch out his hand, Huang Datong saw this, and quickly explained: "Please don't misunderstand, as long as you spend enough in the store under the name of my Huang family, you will give this wooden card, and those who hold this wooden card, as long as they go to my Huang family's shop in the future, can enjoy a certain discount." ”

Li Qingchen listened, and then relieved to put the wooden card into his arms, and then hugged his fists and said: "Since this is the case, I will accept it with a cheeky face, thank you for taking care of the shopkeeper Huang, I will leave for the time being today, and I will visit again another day." ”

Huang Datong jumped off the chair, walked quickly to the door, opened the door first, stretched out his hand and said, "Please." ”

The two walked to the door one after the other, and found that the brothers and sisters of the Huang family hadn't left yet, and when they saw Li Qingchen coming out, Huang Yingying, a girl dressed in pink clothes and wearing a long sword at her waist, immediately pressed Huang Yiming's head, forcibly made him bow down, and then said apologetically: "My brother is not very good-brained, I disturbed you before, please bear with me." ”

Li Qingchen waved his hand.

"You're welcome. ”

Huang Yiming raised his head with difficulty, squeezed out a flattering smile, and said, "Big, no, Li Gongzi, I'll send you off." ”

As soon as the words fell, his sister pressed his head down again.

Li Qingchen helped the hat, and still refused bluntly: "No need." ”

At the same time, he secretly transmitted his true qi: "Young Master Huang, be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

Li Qingchen's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Huang Yiming was frightened, and then his face was happy, and he secretly said that he really didn't guess wrong, a hero is a hero, and his cultivation is much higher than himself.

------

The sky has basically darkened, but the South China Sea area does not abide by the curfew rules of the imperial court, after all, the weather is warm, not as good as the north, especially along the coast, all year round, warm as spring, even at night, the sea breeze is slightly cool, but it is still pleasant, the thought in my heart, naturally I want to go out for a walk, so there are still a lot of people on the street.

The shopkeeper Erxiao Xiaoyu squatted at the door of the inn, looking at the gradually distinct sky in the distance, from the outermost dark blue like the sea, to the slightly brighter azure, then to the blue, and finally the pure white with only a little light.

The clouds were moving swiftly in the sea breeze.

He liked to look up at the sky, especially at this time, when it was not as dazzling as the light of the day, nor as dark as the night, just like himself, although not dazzling enough, but not completely degenerate into darkness.

Whenever this time, when he has nothing to do, he always fantasizes about what is on the other side of the sky, in fact, he has heard many guests tell the story of going south and north, but what he heard, and what he walked in person, after all, are two different things, but it is a pity that he has never been out of the county town in his life, and he does not even have the courage to become a sailor, and he can only think about it in this life.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and he stood up, waved his hand into the distance, and shouted, "Brother Li!"

Li Qingchen approached and asked.

"Xiaoyu, how are you today?"

Xiao Yu walked in with him, and replied enthusiastically: "There are few people who come to eat, and there is no one in the hotel except you and your wife, by the way, what do you want to eat? I will let the kitchen do it immediately, and by the way, I will help you clean up the dishes and chopsticks in the afternoon." ”

Li Qingchen threw out three copper coins and accurately fell into the opponent's hands.

"Well, it's still the same as in the afternoon, you don't have to rush, just come and clean up later. ”

Xiao Yu grabbed the copper coin, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Okay, thank you Brother Li." ”

Li Qingchen walked upstairs quickly, but he didn't expect that as soon as he pushed the door open, a sharp dagger was already across his neck, Li Qingchen raised his head, stared at the girl with wide eyes, and said helplessly: "It's me." ”

The girl withdrew the dagger from her hand, pursed her lips, and jumped off the upside-down beam.

Seeing this, Li Qingchen shook his head, and didn't dare to say anything about her, after turning around and closing the door, with a wave of his hand, the majestic true qi instantly filled the entire room, ensuring that outsiders could not detect the situation here, and then he opened his mouth to tell about his itinerary today and what he had heard and obtained.

"I went to the pawnshop under the name of the Huang family and bought a chalcedony, but the shopkeeper of the Huang family also told me that this chalcedony is divided into ten years, a hundred years of jade, and a thousand years of jade, as for the 10,000-year-old chalcedony we are looking for, also known as Jin Bodhi, even he has only heard of it, but has never seen it, according to his speculation, if you really want to find it, I am afraid you have to take a boat to the sea. However, the waves have been strong recently, and the imperial court has requisitioned large ships to deal with pirates, so it will take fourteen days to wait, and I am going to take advantage of this time to go to the people of the Dragon Wandering Sect and the Guihai Sect to ask again. Also, because I didn't have enough money, I had to go to the White Tiger Gang's gambling house, they should be eyeing me, let's talk about these things later, I think I can try the effectiveness of this chalcedony first. ”

Li Qingchen said that, he took out the exquisite wooden box made of Huanghuali from his arms, and then took out the chalcedony with his own true qi, and said: "I don't know how to use this thing, but I heard that the yellow shopkeeper said that you can use your true qi to refine jade qi." You go to bed and sit down. ”

When the girl heard this, her pretty face was slightly red, but she still obediently bypassed the screen and sat cross-legged on the bed obediently.

Li Qingchen didn't have that extra mind to think about it, but immediately held his breath and condensed, went deep into the chalcedony with his pure divine will, and then used the true qi in his body, as if he was peeling off a cocoon, carefully pulling out the wisps of jade qi contained in the chalcedony.

This wisp of jade qi is like a thin thread, almost invisible to the naked eye, but in the perception of divine will, it is real, Li Qingchen guided it, and hit it from the Fengmen point behind the girl.
