Chapter 117: Not for sale
It's been a few more days since the last deserted village incident.
After obtaining sufficient water in the village's well, the two set out day and night towards their destination.
After this incident, Zhou Yi's attitude was much better, and he was not too noisy and had to take a shower.
And from time to time, he secretly looked at Ji Wusheng.
But whenever Ji Wusheng felt that his eyes were looking at the past, he found that the other party pretended to be casual and looked away, and was a little surprised by Ji Wusheng's movements.
As if to say, why do you, an unserious master, always covet your maid.
Ji Wusheng: "..."
After another day, they finally saw a tall wall.
Tucheng is the county seat of the Northwest County.
Although there is a severe drought this year, as the head of a county, it is still tenaciously retained.
It's just that today's Mobei is less than one percent of the glory of the past, and there are no merchants and shops in ten, and only a few selling daily necessities are still struggling to maintain.
There were constantly people selling their sons and daughters shouting along the streets, just in exchange for a paltry ration.
And more people, hungry and only white and bone-like, lay on the ground, seeing that the air in is less than the breath out.
"It's miserable~"
Ji Wusheng couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the scene in front of him.
"Yes!" Zhou Yi nodded, his eyes full of sympathy.
Zhou Yi died from both parents and relied on hundreds of rice to survive, and later luckily met her master...
"Sister, give me something to eat. ”
"Good Samaritans give me something to eat..."
...
As soon as Zhou Yi saw his food distributed to the little girl, a large number of yellow-faced and thin-skinned children surrounded him.
The scene is comparable to feeding fish in a pond.
After a while, the food in the packages of the two men was exhausted.
But they didn't care, and when they came to the county town, there was no need to eat those hard-to-swallow dry foods.
"Let's go find a shop and rest first. ”
"Well..."
The crowd gradually dispersed, and the two led the horned demon horse in the direction of the inn.
"Is the guest a pointer or a hotel?"
"Let's stay at the hotel. ”
"Okay!"
...
After some conversations, they lived in room No. 1 and room No. 2 respectively.
Although Ji Wusheng also wanted to share a room with Zhou Yi, he was directly rejected by the other party.
Ji Wusheng didn't care, and he didn't get angry.
The maid of the Grandmaster Realm, but she can't really be regarded as a maid, in terms of force, this is the second master of the entire Split Mountain Sect, and she can't use common sense.
He's just used to talking, and even if such a beauty is angry, it's good-looking and tight.
...
Knock knock!
Come in!
Ji Wusheng looked at the strange man in front of him in surprise, a little puzzled.
I thought it was the second shopkeeper, so I didn't care, but I didn't think it wasn't.
"The subordinate Split Mountain Faction Eagle Group is in charge!"
Seeing this, the man quickly knelt down and took out a token from his bosom.
Ji Wusheng suddenly realized and asked him to stand up.
The Eagle Group is an elite force in the intelligence department of the Rift Mountain Faction, and is in charge of the senior brother Li Longxing.
I thought that the other party was a fool who only knew how to practice martial arts, but I didn't expect to do it so well.
In such a short period of time, a branch was set up in Tucheng.
However, due to the short time and lack of manpower, the information is very limited.
But this has made Ji Wusheng very satisfied.
Tucheng is a county town with a population several times that of Himejo, and due to this year's drought, the number of people who have come to take refuge has increased to more than one million.
That's a staggering number.
So much so that the price of grain in the whole city has risen again and again.
And the most powerful person in Jicheng is the city lord, who has tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
There are many master diners under the door.
Because the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce recently chose the auction location in Tucheng.
Elites, aristocrats, and families from all major schools gathered.
I heard that he was giving his baby daughter Zhang Luo's family affair.
And what surprised Ji Wusheng the most was that a familiar name appeared here.
The third prince Zhou Xian.
When he was in Jicheng, his subordinate Zhan Xiaohu came to Jicheng to supply, but was killed by Ji Wusheng because he was too arrogant.
Later, Ji Wusheng also deducted a black cauldron for the third prince and the evil moon sect in the secret realm.
Later, the Evil Moon Sect had disappeared, and only the third prince was left without movement.
I thought that there was no possibility of intersection in this life, but I didn't expect to meet here.
"What a nuisance!"
Ji Wusheng couldn't help frowning a little.
...
"I'm hungry, let's go out and get something to eat. ”
Zhou Yi, who quickly changed his clothes, reappeared in front of Ji Wusheng.
"It's fine. ”
Soon the two of them were in a corner of the hall, ordering a table full of food.
Due to the fatigue of several days of travel, I ate the delicious food in the world again, and I couldn't help but move my appetite, plus the amount of food that the warrior ate was different from ordinary people, and soon the table of meals was swept away.
"Do you still need it?"
Xiao Er filled the cups of tea in the two of them, and then asked quietly.
"No need. ”
"Here, the guest officer glanced at the menu. ”
"Hey, why is it so expensive?"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but say when he saw the price of the meal.
There are not many people in this living room, and Zhou Yi's sharp voice suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
Zhou Yi has a hot body and a beautiful face, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Alright, so be it!"
Ji Wusheng directly took out the money bag.
In such a time of disaster, it is understandable that prices are skyrocketing, although hundreds of times higher than usual.
"Humph!"
Zhou Yi hugged his arms and snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored Ji Wusheng.
"Okay, sir. ”
After the shopkeeper settled the meal money, he returned the money bag to Ji Wusheng respectfully.
On weekdays, the wine and food in the inn are settled with copper coins.
And Ji Wusheng is used to carrying gold coins, so the feeling is not so strong.
Crunch.
At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and a boy in a gorgeous costume walked in with several attendants.
"Yo, what kind of wind blew Li Gongzi over!"
I don't know when the shopkeeper appeared, so he greeted him directly.
But then he was pushed away by this Li Gongzi.
"Get out of here!"
A cold sound sounded.
The shopkeeper then really rolled around a few times and retreated.
"It's really arrogant, where did this kid come from?"
"Ahem, the son of Chengnan Li University, who thinks of himself as a literati and ink writer all day long, and I don't know what crazy I am today. ”
I saw Li Gongzi running directly to a pair of men and women in the corner.
"Could it be that you are going for other people's beautiful maids?"
"This time there is a good show. ”
...
The crowd whispered.
Disaster in disguise.
The strength of the Grandmaster realm is well aware of all the movements in the hall.
Although Ji Wusheng had expected it a long time ago, he still had a headache.
This time, he just came to buy the elixir, and he didn't want to make any extraneous branches.
He had already told Zhou Yi to let him cover his appearance like Henglan, but he refused.
"Humph!"
Zhou Yi was also a little embarrassed at the moment, she was a noble status before, and she was escorted by a large team of people every time she traveled.
Naturally, others dare not be presumptuous.
Never considered, beauty is also a burden.
But now that she gets into trouble, she has to take responsibility.
Just when Zhou Yi was about to stand up and solve it by himself.
"Boy, are the two horned magic horses at the door yours?"
Unexpectedly, the man actually asked about this.
This made Ji Wusheng and Zhou Yi both a little stunned.
"Not for her?"
"Not for me?"
Both were startled at the same time, but then reacted differently.
Ji Wusheng breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and his heart suddenly dawned.
The Horned Demon Horse was originally very valuable, and it is even more precious in today's drought-stricken Tucheng.
But Zhou Yi took a deep breath, looking indignant, could it be that the old lady was not beautiful enough?
"Make a price, I'll buy it!"
Li Gongzi said proudly that there were few people in Tucheng who could refuse his request.
"Not for sale!"
Zhou Yi suddenly interrupted.
"Hmph, there are no rules, haven't you seen me talk to your master?"
Although Zhou Yi is beautiful, he serves as a subordinate.
Zhou Yi: "..."
Li Gongzi then set his eyes on Ji Wusheng, he could already see who was in charge.
"Not for sale!"
Ji Wusheng smiled slightly, and then replied firmly.
