Chapter 174: Can You Interpret One or Two?
At this moment, two well-dressed young maids with beautiful faces each brought a bowl of green tea, and the teacup was gently placed on the coffee table in the middle of the seat. m.
"Two little friends, your name is Ji Longjun, Ji Kai?" Huo Changmen asked with a smile.
"Yes, Huo ...... Brother Huo. ”
Ji Longjun shouted a little stiffly, big brother, feeling a little awkward.
Huo Changmen nodded, and said: "It's really a hero since ancient times, I didn't expect you two to be so bold at such a young age." A brave and commendable person single-handedly broke into the city lord's mansion in Iron Hat City, and a witty man who infiltrated the heavily guarded forge, yes, yes, they are all good men!"
Ji Kai's old face turned red and he was a little embarrassed.
Ji Longjun naturally knew, last night Ji Kai told him in detail how he met Luo Ji in the City Lord's Mansion, and Ji Longjun, who listened to the thrilling nature, was also afraid.
"Ahem, Brother Huo is too awarded! My brothers don't know the height of the sky, they don't have much ability, but they take the risk to do something beyond their power, and almost lose their lives, what a shame! If Brother Luo hadn't appeared in time, my brother and I would have died a long time ago, how could we have the opportunity to sit here and talk to Brother Huo. ”
Ji Longjun felt that Huo Changmen knew a lot about them this night, probably because Luo Ji had reported in detail about the before and after, so he naturally didn't dare to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf according to other people's polite words.
"Hehe, Longjun Xiaoyou, you don't have to be presumptuous. Modesty is a good character, but too much modesty is hypocrisy! Come, drink some tea first to moisten your throat. ”
Huo Changmen smiled, raised the teacup and took a sip with everyone.
"Little friend Longjun, I don't know where you are and what do you do for a living?" Huo Changmen asked with a smile again.
"Uh...... We're from the Mining City, but we've been out of the Mining City for years, at least five years. Do you make a living...... I haven't done anything to make a living, and I've been confused for so many years. ”
Ji Longjun said, thinking about it, he really hasn't worked seriously to make money over the years, but he is not hungry, which is not easy.
"Mining City, it's quite far from here, there are always two thousand miles away, right?"
Huo Changmen looked at the man with long legs and long arms on the side, "Ah Biao, you often walk in the north, have you ever been to the mining city?"
The man bowed and replied, "Owner, although I have never been to the mining city, I still know the situation in the mining city. The mining city is in the northeast of Qicheng, about a thousand miles away. The city lord's name is Wang Lun, and his martial arts are mediocre, but his means of running government affairs are okay. In recent years, the mining city has relied on mineral mining and smelting, the trade has done well, the population is also quite large, and there are many aspiring young people in the younger generation, and it is a promising small town. ”
Huo Changmen nodded and said with a smile: "Sorry, I forgot to introduce it." Luo Ji, you both know each other, this brother is Ma Biao, and it is rumored outside that there are the so-called 'Eight King Kongs' in Ginkgo Valley, according to the outside saying, Brother Ma is the second in rank, and he is the city lord of Hantian City in our Ginkgo Valley. ”
Ji Longjun and the others hurriedly got up and arched their hands, and shouted "Brother Ma" in a proper manner.
Immediately clenched his fists in return, and everyone sat down again.
Luo Ji and Ma Biao are both characters of the lord of a city, and their own force is extremely strong, but they still seem very regular when they sit under Huo Changmen's left and right men.
Two little friends, it has been five years since you left the mining city, what have you been doing in the past five years, and what do you rely on to survive?" Huo Changmen returned to his previous question.
"Do you make a living...... Ji Longjun scratched his head, not knowing how to answer for a while.
"Everyone in this world has their own foundation for life, whether they like it or not, they have to do something. Longjun Xiaoyou, you don't have to look at the silk I wear and think that I am the owner of the village, these are actually my hard-earned money, haha. ”
Huo Changmen seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Although my Huo family dominates the entire Ginkgo Valley, they collect very low taxes from the people, and we rely on our own livelihoods for food and clothing. Raising deer and opening a pharmacy is my Huo family's livelihood, so in addition to being the owner of Luming Village and the guardian of Ginkgo Valley, I am also the big shopkeeper of Huo's industry, and I am a businessman, hehe. ”
"I'll go, it's really a shopkeeper......"
Ji Kai and Ji Longjun glanced at each other, and they both had a feeling that it was like this.
"Of course everyone has their own career. If a person wants to survive, he has to work and pay. But all are equal. For example, I am the guardian of the Ginkgo Valley, and when the people see me and want to bow to me, I gladly accept it. But one day when they go to my shop to get deer antler wine, or go to the pharmacy opened by my Huo family to get medicine, they are my guests, I want to be polite to them, and I have to ask the guys in my store to bow to the guests. ”
"Today you are my guest, and it is likely that tomorrow I will be your guest, we each have our own livelihood, of course, there is no need to distinguish between high and low. Huo Changmen Zheng'er said.
"Brother Huo said it so well, if you think about it, it seems to be the case......"
Ji Longjun pondered for a while, and the more he pondered, the more he felt that Huo Changmen's speech level was quite high.
"Brother Huo, if you talk about it like this, our brothers are 'hunters'. Although we have not hunted a few prey seriously in these years, whenever we are short of money to spend, our brothers will go into the mountains to catch some fierce beasts, peel them out and sell them to those fur shops, and earn some money to eat and drink. ”
"Yes, yes, hunter. ”
Huo Changmen nodded and said with a smile: "To be a hunter, you must not only be bold, but also have a heart that can endure loneliness." There are also many hunters in my valley, and I have a good friend who is Orion, and he often brings me some rare delicacies caught in the mountains. ”
"Two little friends, I don't know whether to say it or not. Huo Changmen's face suddenly turned grim, and he stared at the eyes of Ji Longjun and asked.
"Well, Brother Huo, if you have any questions, just ask. This is Ginkgo Valley, you are the landlord, how can you not talk about it, hehe. ”
Ji Longjun's heart tightened, but he replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Huo Changmen walked around, as if he wanted to find out something from Ji Longjun's mouth.
But after all, Ji Longjun was the first time to come to Ginkgo Valley, and he had no intersection with the forces here, Chen Tian only said that he would reveal that information to the people in Ginkgo Valley, and he did not explain what relationship he wanted to establish with them.
Ji Longjun is willing to have in-depth exchanges with the forces of Xinggu, in addition to his friendship with Luo Ji, it can be regarded as based on the fact that the enemy's enemy is a friend.
There is hardly any direct intersection between the forces of the actual mining city and the Ginkgo Valley.
"Little friend Longjun, as far as I know, Mining City is a force subordinate to Qicheng. You've been away from the mines for five years
For a long time, you are a hunter who hunts for a living, so how did you get the news of the peerless battle axe in Iron Hat City?"
"Also, in the battle yesterday afternoon, the two of you were not afraid of Li Qingfeng and the others, this is not a matter of courage, but of strength. As far as I can see, the martial arts of the two of you are not simple, if I am not clumsy, you two should be ...... The martial arts of the Demon Stream Mansion?"
"Hunters, but they don't have such good skills. ”
Huo Changmen said, a pair of thin eyes swept over Ji Longjun and the others.
Not only him, but also Luo Ji and Ma Biao on the left and right also stared at Ji Longjun and the two carefully, making them feel like ants on a hot pot.
Ji Longjun was a little disgusted in his heart, he hated it when others calculated him and used his words.
Not to mention that his brothers helped Luo Ji steal the peerless battle axe, which was of great help to Huo Changmen and Ginkgo Valley, even if everyone had nothing to do with each other, he didn't want to be questioned like this.
But Huo Changmen asked his face, and he couldn't do it if he didn't say it.
Besides, there is that horse Biao by his side, this person Ji Longjun and Ji Kai know each other, but I don't know if he still remembers Ji Longjun's brother?
"Ahem, Brother Huo is really insightful. Don't hide it from Brother Huo, although our brother is from the Mining City clan, but when Qicheng forcibly killed our last Shitian City Lord, he had a deep hatred with our Ji family. After we left the mining city because of this incident, we had learned martial arts from several masters of the rivers and lakes for a period of time by chance, and one of them was a disciple of the Demon Mansion, so ...... Ahem, we know a little bit about the Demon Mansion. ”
Ji Longjun said half-truthfully: "Later, we stayed in Qicheng for a while, and once we inadvertently heard a news, it is said that Wu Tianbiao, one of the four major city lords of Qicheng, invited a powerful forger from far away in the north to forge a peerless battle axe in his home city, Iron Hat City. ”
"Because the mining city produces black iron ore, the material for this battle axe is black iron essence, and our brother thinks that this matter may bring some trouble to the mining city, so after getting the information, he hurried to the iron hat city to see if he could do something. ”
Huo Changmen nodded and listened to Ji Longjun silently.
"We found that Wu Tianbiao, the old thief, went to great lengths to forge this battle axe in order to start a war with Ginkgo Valley, in order to fight against you, Brother Huo, although we didn't know each other before, but I think most of the people that Wu Laobao wants to deal with are good people. It so happened that when my younger brother was arrested, he was rescued by Brother Luo, and he came here today in a daze. ”
Huo Changmen laughed, nodded and said: "Yes, everything seems to be confused, but in fact, this is all destined by God! ”
"Yes, yes, Brother Huo is right. ”
Ji Longjun laughed dryly twice, and took a sip of water from the teacup without a trace.
The tea is fragrant and warm, which is refreshing. Ji Longjun breathed a sigh of relief silently, and he didn't know if he could hide his words from Huo Changmen and the others.
Huo Changmen asked again: "Little friend Longjun, I don't know how much you have learned the martial arts of the Demon Stream Mansion? I see that your body technique is quite exquisite when you are facing the enemy, and you have everyone's demeanor in every move, not like the level that ordinary monks can reach halfway, you should have had systematic cultivation, right?"
Ji Longjun nodded and said, "Sort of, our brother has studied hard with a senior for more than two years. ”
