Chapter 305: Your Firewood Is Requisitioned
"Of course it's yours, it's you who don't follow the rules, and it's your fault that the bridge collapsed!" the man's eyes widened, and then he said, "Aren't you going to retreat quickly?"
Dongfang Shuo was choked and speechless.
Cao Jianren hurriedly said: "Otherwise, how much is your load of firewood worth, and I will give you ten times the money?" Cao Jianren said, took out an ingot of gold from his arms, handed it over, and said: "A gold ingot is for you, let alone ten times, even a hundred times." ”
"Ten times, a hundred times can't do it, no matter how much, it's not a matter of money, it's a matter of credit. ”
The man's head shook like a rattle, and he just didn't do it.
The rope bridge was shaken by him, which made Cao Jianren's head hurt a little, and he had to solve the problem quickly, and the longer he stayed, the more dangerous it became.
Credit?
What a credit fart?!
When are you still talking about credit?!
"Since money can't solve the problem, then we have to rely on this," Cao Jianren gritted his teeth, took out a sign from his arms, lit it up in front of the man, and said coldly: "See clearly, we are people from the Yamen, this is our brand, now that your load of firewood has been requisitioned, put down the burden, immediately turn around and get out, dare to say half a word, and immediately arrest you and go to prison!"
Dongfang Shuo in the back heard it: I'll go, this is okay?
"Requisition, requisition of a load of firewood?" the man was surprised: "You can't just mess around because you are from the yamen, what are you doing with my firewood? You can't say that you will requisition, you have to give me a reasonable reason." ”
was frightened by Cao Jianren's brand, the man's attitude softened a little, and his head didn't shake much.
"Of course there are reasons," Cao Jianren said with Yan Yuese: "You have also seen what this bridge has broken into, and the requisitioning of your firewood is just to repair the bridge, and the wooden planks on this bridge deck are rotten, and they have to be repaved." ”
Cao Jianren said very seriously.
Even Dongfang Shuo thought it was true.
"But, can I use this firewood, but shouldn't wooden planks be used to pave the bridge?" the man reluctantly put down the firewood burden from his shoulder and questioned.
"Isn't this an emergency? Don't be verbose, hurry up, besides, our yamen will not lose you, the gold will requisition you a load of firewood, what do you want, hurry up!"
Cao Jianren said, stuffed the gold ingot to the man, and urged him to get out of here.
The man took the gold, and was about to bite it with his teeth if it was real gold.
At this moment,
suddenly
Hula,
A huge shadow flew over the trio's heads.
"That's... A bird?" Dongfang Shuo exclaimed.
The exclamation has not yet disappeared,
As soon as I heard a higher exclamation,
"Ah~~~Save me~~~"
The two hurriedly looked at it, and it was broken,
That big man,
Just now, the big man who was holding the gold ingot in both hands and was sending it to his mouth, and was about to bite the gold, was so frightened by the big bird above his head that he stumbled and fell.
This?
Cao Jianren and Dongfang Shuo looked at each other.
The aftermath of the man's screams lingered for a long time.
Cao Jianren also didn't believe what was happening in front of him, and he thought that this person would have to entangle with them for a while. I didn't expect it to hang up like this?
The clouds and mist rolled under the bridge, and the situation was not clear at all, and the surrounding area was cloudy and windy, and the dense fog became heavier. In the mist, there were faint whispers and bursts of crying.
Both of them had some scalp tingling.
"Big brother, this won't be counted on our heads, will we?
Cao Jianren raised his foot and kicked the man's firewood down the mountain stream, and said as he walked forward: "This array is very weird, we can only see the moves." Let's go. ”
Just finished speaking,
Click,
The plank under his feet suddenly broke,
Fortunately, Cao Jianren had already been on guard, and his body rushed forward, and the whole body was on the rope bridge, changing to climbing, using both hands and feet, and crawling to the opposite side.
At this time, look at the rope bridge again,
At a rate visible to the naked eye, decaying, aging.
Dongfang Shuo hurriedly did the same, crawled on the bridge deck, and hurriedly crawled to the opposite side.
Behind
Pieces of wood rot,
One rope after another breaks,
Rotten wood is constantly falling into mountain streams.
The rope broke more and more, and it became more and more unable to bear the weight of the two of them.
Seeing that we are about to reach the opposite peak,
Just listen,
Boom~
The entire rope bridge is completely broken,
The two of them involuntarily fell towards the mountain stream.
At the critical moment, it was Cao Jianren,
Tear off the wide belt on his body,
Throw forward,
With a snap, the belt was wrapped around the stone pier opposite,
Dongfang Shuo in the back is also in a hurry,
hugged Cao Jianren's feet in front of him.
A struggle,
With this belt, the two finally reached the opposite side of the bridge safely.
Dongfang Shuo was a little apprehensive, and couldn't help asking: "Big brother, you say, what will happen if we fall? Can we be resurrected? Does it count as giving a head to the other party? Also, is that man just now, is it their person, if he falls, is it considered to give us a head?"
Cao Jianren was sorting out his clothes, tied his belt again, and said, "You are stupid, this is breaking the formation, breaking the formation in the trial, not simply the trial." You can think of it as a trial within a trial. I don't know what will happen to that guy if he falls, but I know that if we fall, there is a high probability that we will be directly out.
Haven't you noticed that our Peach Talisman has no information at all until now, what does this mean, this shows that this [Ghost Valley] has eroded the entire testing ground, and there is no other way unless the formation is broken. ”
"Are you saying that the way you calculate the outcome of this game will be very different from before?"
"Of course. Quite possibly. The trials of this city lord in this Heavenly Dao City have always been mysterious, mysterious and changeable, and they have never been immutable. Yesterday the Zhang and Li families were a struggle of strength, and today our Han and Cao families are likely to be a moral struggle. ”
"Moral dispute?" Dongfang Shuo was a little confused, "We are a family of cultivators, how can we make a moral dispute if he is moral or not?"
Cao Jianren sighed, patted the dirt on his body, and replied:
"This trial is not decided by one side alone, but by the captains of both sides. I chose the academy, Han Gen chose the dojo, and in the end it became a dispute between Confucianism and Taoism. If I choose the academy, he chooses the Sword Pavilion, it is the dispute between the court and the rivers and lakes; if I choose the academy, he chooses the Taoist temple or the temple, it is the dispute between Shinto; of course, if I choose the tribe, he chooses the country, it is the battle of survival and conquest; if we choose the country, it is the battle of the confrontation between the state.
There is more than one form of this trial. ”
