Chapter 174: Accidental Attack
Chen Gongzi helped him pay off his gambling debts and let him continue to be the shopkeeper of the Xianlai Inn.
Moreover, under the planning of Chen Gongzi, Xianlai Inn has become the most famous inn in Jianchuan Town, and it is a grand scene that he has never seen before.
Originally, he was already very satisfied with running the Xianlai Inn in Jianchuan, but later, Chen Gongzi asked him to leave here and start a more brilliant career in the Qilin Capital.
There was no reason why he shouldn't get excited.
Because of the crown princess, Lan Xiang took the Yuwen brothers and sisters and Miss Shi to go first, and left to arrange matters before setting off.
Li Liangshi, the second shopkeeper, is honest and diligent, and he plans to promote him to the shopkeeper after he leaves.
Li Liangshi is indeed a very good person, when Chen Mingjie came to Xianlai Inn for the first time, he received him warmly.
You must know that Chen Mingjie was poor and white at that time, wearing rough Shushan Taoist clothes, and there were few copper plates in his hands, but Li Liangshi did not look down on people with dog eyes, and treated him enthusiastically, which left a deep impression on Chen Mingjie.
He has followed the shopkeeper Wang for many years and has been conscientious, even after the prosperity of the Xianlai Inn, he is still the same, so the shopkeeper Wang is very satisfied with him and is also very relieved.
"Ah Shi, I'm going to Qilin City, from tomorrow, you will be the shopkeeper of the Xianlai Inn, remember, don't live up to Chen Gongzi's kindness. “
Years of hard work finally paid off, Li Liangshi was surprised and happy in his heart, but he was full of emotion.
But at this time, he had tears in his eyes, and he was extremely reluctant: "Shopkeeper Wang, I can't bear you, I'll go with you, okay?"
"Ah Shi, you are not small, I believe that you can run the inn well. “
"The Shopkeeper's ......"
Shopkeeper Wang patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, if the boy has tears, the Xianlai Inn will be handed over to you, as well as the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard, you must take good care of them, and you must not lose them." “
Li Liangshi nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of it, and I will not disappoint you and Chen Gongzi's entrustment." “
"That's ......"
Of course, along with the shopkeeper Wang, there is also Wei Damao's family.
Shopkeeper Wang sold his house, hired a carriage, and set out on the road to Qilin City with gold, silver and jewelry, his wife and children, and Wei Damao's family.
However, at this time, he was already targeted by a pair of greedy eyes......
The business of Xianlai Inn is booming, which naturally attracts a lot of attention, of course, the most concerned about them are those bandits who make a living by burning, killing, looting, and blocking roads and robbing.
Of course, these thieves didn't dare to fight the idea of the Xianlai Inn, because there are many masters in the Xianlai Inn, in addition to Wei Damao, who has already done this business, there is also a hidden boss in the inn, and he is also the owner of the inn, Lan Xiang.
After these people left, they realized that an opportunity had come.
However, Xianlai Inn has a good reputation in Jianchuan, and Chen Mingjie has become acquainted with Chu Qianqin and Shangguan Wan'er, the two daughters of the two families, so no one dares to do anything to Xianlai Inn in Jianchuan Town.
But now that Lan Xiang and his party have left Jianchuan, Shopkeeper Wang has naturally become a sweet spot in their eyes.
They kept an eye on the king's treasurer and closely monitored his every move.
In Jianchuan, they didn't dare to make a move, but when they learned that Shopkeeper Wang was leaving Jianchuan for Qilin City, they knew that their opportunity had come.
With Wei Damao, a former disciple of Huashan Outer Gate, on the road together, Shopkeeper Wang felt very down-to-earth.
It's just that he still underestimated these thieves who burned, killed, plundered, and did all kinds of evil.
These people bully the weak and fear the hard, although there is no organizational discipline, but their advantage is that there are many people, although Wei Damao has some skills, but two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, Wei Damao only has the strength to practice qi in the realm, and it is difficult to deal with so many people.
After three days, the shopkeeper Wang and his party fell into the trap of the bandits, although Wei Damao was very brave, but among the thieves there was a master of the foundation realm, Wei Damao was invincible and defeated.
Everyone was swept up the mountain.
These people are not only vicious, but also extremely greedy, and after learning that their boss has a lot of money, the bandit leader decides to let the other party ransom him, of course, for a lot of money.
The leader of the lion opened his mouth and asked for 50,000 taels to redeem them.
They need someone to ventilate the news, and this person chosen is Wei Damao.
In order to prevent the other party from keeping their promises, they detained Wei Damao's wife and children, and demanded that they must come to ransom people within ten days, and if they can't see anyone, don't blame them for tearing up the ticket.
In the hands of his wife and children in the hands of these bandits, Wei Damao was so anxious that after being put down the mountain, he rushed all the way towards Qilin City.
At this time, Chen Mingjie didn't know these things at all, and he only cared about one thing now, and that was the location selection.
As the second branch of Xianlai Inn, it is natural to choose the most prosperous area of Qilin City.
Chen Mingjie wandered around, but unknowingly came to a courtyard.
At this time, a large number of onlookers gathered outside the courtyard, he felt that this place was very familiar, and after a closer look, it turned out to be the place where the Tianyuan Chess Academy held the preliminary match a few days ago.
I only heard passerby A excitedly say: "The final of the Holy Hand Competition held by Tianyuan Chess Academy is about to start, so excited~"
Passerby B said: "What are you excited about, does it have anything to do with you?"
Passerby A said: "You can't say that, Tianyuan Chess Academy has always been ethereal, I didn't expect that such a major competition would be held in our small Qilin City this time, this is not something that can be seen casually." ”
Passerby B said: "That's right, the Holy Hand Contest is only held once every five years, and there is no age limit for participants, so there will be many people eager to try. ”
Passerby A said: "Despite this, for hundreds of years, there are very few people who can be admitted to the Tianyuan Chess Academy, basically only one or two apprentices are accepted in each session, and if you meet Xiao Nian, you may not accept any of them." ”
Passerby B said: "Who says it's not, although you can participate in this holy hand competition as long as you sign up, but even if it is the preliminary round, there are no more than 100 people who participate." “
Passerby A said: "How can this be, don't you give this opportunity a try?"
Passerby B said: "Brother A, you are really lonely, do you know who the opponents of the first test are?"
Passerby A said, "What person?"
Passerby B said: "Their opponents are all outer disciples of Tianyuan Academy. ”
Passerby A said, "Isn't that very special?" ”
Passerby B said, "Think about it, how did these outer disciples come from?"
Passerby A exclaimed: "They, they are the champions of the previous Holy Hand Competition......"
Passerby B said: "Now you understand, the opponents in the preliminary round are not ordinary people......
Passerby A said: "This, this is too perverted.....
Passerby B said: "But although the opponent is extremely strong, these inner disciples are not invincible, and of course they don't have to defeat them, as long as they think that you have the qualifications to enter the finals." “
Passerby A breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see.... It scares me to death, but even that is still terrifying....."
