Chapter 16: Character
"Little beggar, there are conditions for joining my beggar door. The old beggar said suddenly.
"What conditions?" Jiang Yuan was stunned.
"A beggar for one day, a beggar for life, and a beggar for life, and you have to defend the Great Yan Kingdom. The old beggar said.
"Eh!" Jiang Yuan was stunned again, he was a little hesitant, because he didn't want to be a beggar for the rest of his life.
Jiang Ling'er's expression was a little tangled, her ideal was to be a female general, not a beggar, and she was still a girl.
"Little beggar, we beggars are not simple, you see the attitude of the doorman towards me!" said the old beggar.
In fact, in his heart, he found that Jiang Yuan was a good seedling who practiced martial arts, so he would recruit him, as for seeing the emperor to redress his grievances, let's wait a year later!
"Hmm!" Jiang Yuan nodded.
"We beggars also have an advantage, that is, one person is bullied, ten thousand people come to help, think about it, if you offend someone in the capital in the future, you can't deal with it, the beggar will help you deal with it. The old beggar continued.
It's like deceiving people into pyramid schemes, wave after wave, a sect composed of beggars, making him say better than the Jade Emperor's heavenly court.
"Little beggar, how is it, would you like to join?" asked the old beggar, who had wasted a lot of his spit today.
"Huh!" Jiang Yuan was still very hesitant.
"Little beggar, if you want to redress your grievances and see the emperor, you must enter the beggar gate. The old beggar said directly.
He can see that this kid can withstand the temptation, even if he says the flowers, he will not be moved, he can only take him.
"I joined. Jiang Yuan had no choice but to do so, Jiang Dongxu's nurturing grace must be repaid.
"Okay! The husband can't go back on what he said. When the old beggar heard Jiang Yuan agree, a smile appeared on his face.
"No remorse. Jiang Yuan nodded and said, in Jiang Yuan's world, the most important thing is commitment.
"Okay, come with me!" the old beggar led Jiang Yuan through a few streets to a relatively barren housing area.
This housing area is full of beggars, how many, Jiang Yuan did not count, estimated that there were at least five or six hundred people.
"We also have a camp, and it's an exclusive camp. The old beggar explained.
"Oh!"
"This is the base camp of the beggars, the beggars district. The old beggar said.
"Elder Ma, you're back. A beggar asked respectfully to the old beggar.
"Hmm!" the old beggar nodded.
"Elder Lu is waiting for you in the council room. The beggar said respectfully again.
"yes, I see. The old beggar replied and said to Jiang Yuan, "Little beggar, I'll take you to see our beggar room." ”
"Hmm!" Jiang Yuan nodded.
Then after walking for a while, Jiang Yuan and the others came to the outside of a relatively large house, which was very dilapidated.
The old beggar walked straight in with Jiang Yuan, the house was empty, only a beggar who was about the same as the old beggar stood inside, he looked at the old beggar with a smile, with wrinkles and hemp on his face, this should be Elder Lu.
"Old horse, you're back. Elder Lu asked.
"You're blind!" the old beggar's words made Jiang Yuan stunned, "I didn't come back, can I stand in front of you?"
"Eh, you've been out for a few months, and you're crazy again, are you making progress in your martial arts and want to practice?" Elder Lu didn't get angry, but said directly.
"Practice and practice, who is afraid of whom?" said the old beggar.
Immediately, Jiang Yuan felt an inexplicable pressure around him, which made Jiang Yuan can't help but pull Jiang Ling'er back a few steps.
The old beggar and Elder Lu looked at each other, and suddenly Jiang Yuan felt a flower in front of him, because he seemed to see the old beggar and Elder Lu collide with each other.
But as if he had misseen it, a strong wind emanated, and Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ling'er were forced by the strong wind to take a few steps back.
Because of the strong wind, the house was densely covered with dust, and at this moment, the old beggar and Elder Lu moved, and the two turned into two afterimages, constantly colliding with each other.
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ling'er looked at this scene with wide eyes, the two of them looked at each other and swallowed again.
"Old Ma, it seems that your strength has improved a lot!" At this moment, the competition between the old beggar and Elder Lu has ended.
"What's the use of improving? It's not that I still can't beat you. The old beggar said.
"At our age, it's not easy to improve our strength!" Elder Lu smiled bitterly.
"Alas, the so-called extreme martial arts, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach it in a lifetime. The old beggar said.
"Old Ma, don't think about those unhappy things, I haven't seen you for a few months, let's have a little drink. Elder Lu said, and then he took out a large jar of wine and two roast chickens out of nowhere.
Looking at the actions of the two of them, Jiang Yuan knew that these two were masters, and they were very powerful.
"Who are these two little beggars?" Elder Lu noticed Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ling'er.
"The two of them are new to our beggar family. The old beggar said.
"New to join?" Elder Lu frowned.
"Hmm! The old beggar replied.
"Heh!" Elder Lu was a little disdainful, "How can two children who have escaped from the mortal womb not be pleasing to the eye?"
Everything is in vain, how can a person who doesn't matter matter be long-winded for a long time to solicit them? The old beggar has taken a fancy to Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ling'er's cultivation.
"It's all for you to see. The old beggar laughed dryly.
"Heh, you're blind to me!" said Elder Lu in a coaxed manner.
"Senior, please take me as an apprentice. Jiang Yuan heard the words of the two clearly, the old beggar took a fancy to his talent, and the old beggar was also very capable.
"Huh!" both the old beggar and Elder Lu were stunned.
"Boy, you're quick to react!" said the old beggar.
"The seniors are masters, and the juniors didn't see it before, but the juniors were rude. Jiang Yuan said respectfully.
"What a high man is not a high man. The old beggar waved his hand, "Boy, let's be honest with you, I really like your talent, and my longevity is almost over, I don't want my martial arts to be in vain." ”
The old beggar looked at Jiang Yuan again, "But it's not difficult to find a successor, your talent is very good, but I don't know much about your personality." ”
"Eh!" Jiang Yuan was stunned, how is he a person? He felt that he was still a good person, but he couldn't say this by himself.
"Jiang Yuan's personality is very good. Jiang Ling'er said at this time.
"Little girl, I know you're going to say that. The old beggar said.
"Then how can you know who I am?" Jiang Yuan looked at the old beggar.
"It's very simple, wine is character, drink a drink, drink it when you are drunk. The old beggar said.
"Good. Jiang Yuan nodded directly in agreement.
"Brother Lu, take out more of your good wine and get it, and when I have it later, I will return it to you." The old beggar said to Elder Lu.
"Come on. Elder Lu directly refused, "The wine you took from me doesn't have a hundred altars, but also ninety-nine altars, so I haven't seen you return it." ”
"This ...... This ......," the old beggar rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, "I promise this is the last time, and after this time, I will definitely pay you back, even the previous one." ”
"I believe you have a ghost. Elder Lu rolled his eyes and said.
"Lao Lu, we have been friends for most of our lives, how can those jars of wine be compared. The old beggar saw that it was useless to be soft, and talked directly about his feelings.
"Old Ma, no matter what you say today, you can't do it. Elder Lu directly put on a posture of not recognizing his six relatives and not eating soft and hard.
"Old Lu, how can you be like this?............... the old beggar began to count Elder Luolu, and from time to time he would grind and soak hard.
"Stop, stop, don't say it, I'll borrow, I'll borrow. "Half an hour has passed, and Elder Lu really can't stand the old beggar anymore.
The old beggar's mouth is too expressive, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it in a clever sentence.
"That's right!" said the old beggar with a smile.
Elder Lu rolled his eyes, then shouted out of the room, "Open the table and move some of the wine out of my wine cellar." ”
As he had finished speaking, a few beggars walked in.
"By the way, little beggar, I don't know what your name is?" the old beggar opened a jar of wine and took a sip, and suddenly thought of a very serious question.
"Seniors, juniors are called Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan said respectfully.
"Jiang Yuan, a smooth name, not bad. The old beggar nodded.
"Senior, junior still doesn't know your name?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"My surname is Ma, I have forgotten my name, you can call me Ma Beggar. The old beggar said casually.
"Oh!" Jiang Yuan nodded.
"Come, boy, drink this jar of wine. The old beggar handed a jar of wine to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan took the wine, didn't say a word, and drank it directly.
Jiang Yuan is no stranger to such things as wine, when he was a child, he was in Peach Blossom Spring, and he often carried Jiang Chen on his back and secretly drank peach blossom brew.
"Good boy, it's a gentleman. "Ma Beggar originally thought that Jiang Yuan was at his age, I was afraid that he would not be able to drink, but he didn't expect to drink directly from the jar in one go.
"Come, old horse, let's have a altar too. Elder Lu said to the beggar.
"Okay. The beggar didn't shirk, opened a jar of wine, and drank it directly.
So a drinking party began, Jiang Ling'er sat on the side, looking at Jiang Yuan with a very peculiar look.
Because the appearance that Jiang Yuan has shown these days is not at all the same as before.
Being his own sparring partner, his martial arts are actually above him, and he can drink like this, which makes Jiang Ling'er a little unbalanced for a while.
"Senpai, please. Jiang Yuan opened another jar of wine, and drank it directly as soon as he raised his head, I don't know why, the more Jiang Yuan drank, the more comfortable his body became.
The beggar and Elder Lu stared dryly, this kid had drunk five or six altars, and there was nothing at all.
But for the sake of face, the two of them also raised their heads and drank all the jars, after all, both of them are half-cut people into the ground, how can the amount of alcohol be lost to a teenager?
