The slave was a middle-aged man, with a strange name, for which he had no right to choose, when he was sold to Jinpeng Castle, the steward named it in order in a thousand-character text, and it was the turn of the word "woman", and the slave, who could not speak the Chinese dialect at that time, accepted the new name, and took the laughter of the people around him as a sign of kindness.

After he learned the Chinese dialect and understood what kind of place Jinpeng Fort was, he didn't dare to make corrections.

Like most slaves, the women and slaves struggled in humility, and it was only after the age of forty that they were mixed into a slightly more decent position, and they went down the mountain to buy long-obsolete fat powder for several old ladies in the inner house.

There is little oil and water to be fished out of this position, and the only good thing is to be able to go down the mountain once a month, spend the pitiful salary in the southern city, and find a little solace in the bad wine.

Therefore, when the five ingots of silver were placed in front of him, he immediately decided to sell everything, not to mention that what the other party wanted to buy did not involve any secrets in his opinion, "This, how much is this?"

"Ten taels for one ingot, fifty taels in total. Xu Xiaoyi said with a smile that now he is a wealthy businessman with a lot of curiosity, and he spends a little money just to listen to some interesting insiders.

The woman swallowed her saliva, and with great difficulty in her mind converted this large sum of silver into his favorite wine, and it took a while to come to her senses, lowered her head, no longer looked at the silver, and said a little shyly: "I saw Xiaoyuetang attack the inner house with my own eyes, and I killed people when I saw them, and now that I think about it, my legs are still shaking." That Imperial Master, I'm scared at the mention of her, so let me take a breath first. ”

The slave quickly glanced at the silver on the table, and became a little bold, "She came to me, I thought I was going to die, but she didn't even look at me. A person suddenly appeared from under the ground, and she was not afraid at all, and ...... No, with just one finger, he slapped that person to death. Then the king came over and ......"

"Do you see the king?"

"No, how dare I? Besides, I have my back to the king, and as soon as the king speaks, I will kneel in the snow. ”

"What did the lord say?"

"Let me think about it...... I'll teach you that. "In order to be worthy of the five ingots of silver, the woman slave has to exert all her strength, "'Wudao Divine Skill, this is the first time that someone outside the Shangguan family has practiced to the realm of Sangong. ''I'm a little worse than the king, and I'm practicing less...... A few chapters. ''Do you want to use...... Dead Corpse Sword Technique to Close the Gap?'' I want to fight to prove it. ’”

The woman and slave studied very hard, but she still added some of her own understanding, and the further she went, the less like the original words of the Dubu King and the Lotus Girl.

Xu Xiaoyi knows the role of money, it can buy intelligence, and it can collect piles of lies, people like women and slaves don't want to lie, but in order to please the master, they can say anything, and there is no distinction between truth and falsehood in their hearts.

Xu Xiaoyi didn't want to encourage this tendency, so he interrupted the performance of the woman and slave and asked, "Did the imperial master fight with the Dubu King?"

"I don't know. ”

"Aren't you there?"

"But my head was buried in the snow, and I didn't see anything, and the master and the king didn't talk much later. Uh, I heard a little sound, it was like a fight, that is, a fight, yes, a fight, the fight was dark, I thought the stone castle was going to collapse, that scene, it was rare to see......"

"Who won?"

"Of course it's the king, the royal master is a woman, I don't mean to belittle her, but how can she be compared to the king? ”

"Did you hear them talk about the strike?"

"I heard that by the time I looked up, the Imperial Master and the Lord had already left. But I'm not nonsense, everyone in the castle said so, the royal master admired the king's martial arts, and the king also felt that it was not easy for a woman to practice to this extent, so he decided to let her go. Did you know that Xiaoyue Hall was actually part of Jinpeng Castle in the past. ”

The woman wanted to say a few more words about this rumor, but the rich old man was not interested, "Okay, take the money and go happy, I am sleepy, I need to rest for a while." ”

The slave even claimed that it was, stared at the silver for a while, as if not believing that it belonged to her, and suddenly stretched out her arms, put them in her arms, and ran out like a newborn baby in her arms.

Xu Xiaoyi shook his head and said to himself: "I hope he can hold on to it, don't spend the money too quickly, if the killers know...... Forget it, it's none of my business, come on, invite the next guest. ”

Zeng Jian is over 60 years old, but his body is still strong, and as soon as he enters the house, he looks around vigilantly, especially feeling uneasy about the inner room where the beaded curtains hang down.

He is the killer who has been retired for many years in Jinpeng Castle, and he has not given up his old habits.

Xu Xiaoyi pointed to the five huge silver ingots on the table, and said with a smile: "These treasures are for you, and the 'treasures' in them only belong to me." ”

Zeng Jian had seen the world when he was young, and he didn't take the five hundred taels of silver in his eyes, "I know that you are the Dragon King's person, please tell him that I am not here for the silver." ”

Xu Xiaoyi's eyes widened, as if he had been humiliated, and pressed one hand on the silver ingot, "It's not for silver, then please how you came and how to go, I only have silver here, no dragon king, and I don't have time to speak for you." ”

Zeng Jian looked coldly at the short and fat rich businessman, knowing that he had passed through the disguise, and suddenly said: "I and a few old brothers rushed into the inner house to support first, and those young killers will only stop the inconsequential little Luo at the gate like headless flies." A knife master told us to stay where we were. ”

"Didn't you see the Imperial Master compete with the Dubu King?"

"See, it's not a competition, the lotus girl slapped a palm, the king took the move, and then stopped at the same time, it's as simple as that. ”

"What about after you stop?"

"The Lotus Girl and the Lord of the King each took three people into a nearby reading courtyard, and we stood outside to confront Xiaoyue Hall, and we didn't see the situation in the courtyard. ”

"You must have heard something afterwards, didn't someone follow in?"

"I'll just talk about what I've seen, and as for the rumors, you can buy a whole bunch for less silver. ”

Zeng Jian felt that he had said enough, so he took out a black cloth from his arms, wrapped the five ingots of silver in it, and stuffed it back to his waist, his arm drooped down, so that the bulge was not too conspicuous.

"Hu Shining knows me, and the Dragon King can ask him about my personality. ”

"I said it......" Before Xu Xiaoyi's words were finished, the old killer had already turned around and walked out, "Wait." ”

"What else? That's all I see. ”

"You said you saw the Imperial Master and the Dubu King face each other. ”

"Well, a lot of people have seen it. ”

"You're too simple, what's the move? Who looks more powerful? You're a killer, you should be able to see something, this is the inside story I want to hear with money." ”

Zeng Jian hesitated for a moment, "The lotus girl surprised me. He said, but there was no expression of surprise on his face, "She and the king didn't use tricks, they went straight to the point, and what they competed in was internal strength." I have to admit that being able to survive the king's palm unscathed, the Lotus Maiden's skill has far surpassed that of all the killers in the castle. But it was still wise for her to agree to strike in the end, the king had been practicing for decades, and no matter how evil the secret technique was, it was impossible to catch up with it immediately. ”

"How is the Lotus Girl better than the green noodles?"

"I don't comment on people I haven't met or come into contact with. ”

Zeng Jian didn't even say goodbye, pushed the door and left, he was old enough, although he didn't completely abandon the habit of the killer, but he had already lost the will of the killer, and he was unwilling to be loyal to anyone to death, he rushed into the inner house to support, but he didn't get the corresponding reward afterwards, so he had to do it himself.

The old killer saw the five hundred taels of silver as a debt to him.

Xu Xiaoyi turned his head and glanced inside, took out another sum of money from the box at his feet, and said loudly, "Next." ”

His surname is Shangguan, his name is Yinghao, he is in his thirties, he is in the prime of life, and he has a blood relationship with King Dubu not far away, serving in the White Clothes Academy, in the eyes of outsiders, he is one of King Dubu's henchmen.

The price of buying such a person is not small, if it is changed before the battle of Qianqi Pass, Xu Xiaoyi will not even make an attempt, even now, relying on the strength of tens of thousands of troops outside the city, he will also put five ingots of flawless gold on the table.

"The Dragon King said that he will not catch all of the Shangguan family, as long as this person does not take the initiative to be an enemy of the Dragon Army, there is no need to be afraid of him, if he is willing to do something for the Dragon Army, he can even become a friend. "Xu Xiaoyi doesn't need to deny that he is a subordinate of the Dragon King, no matter how big a wealthy businessman is, he can't please Shangguan Yinghao.

"I am not a traitor. Shangguan Yinghao sat opposite Xu Xiaoyi, and he was the only one among the three guests who used this chair, "I heard that the Dragon King is still the Dragon King, and I am not interested in the title of Dubu King." ”

"Well, the Dragon King is not interested, but there are quite a few people who are interested. Xu Xiaoyi gave a hint.

Shangguan Yinghao did not show his ambitions, "As long as King Dubu is still surnamed Shangguan, the king is ...... He is already old, his martial arts are getting stronger and stronger, but his judgment is declining, and he trusts a pedantic teacher who is bent on chasing an ethereal reputation, violating the century-old admonition of the stone castle, giving up assassination, expelling the killer, and turning the entire stone castle beyond recognition. The White Courtyard used to be the most important part of the stone castle, but now it has been elevated, and we have all become ordinary followers. I want to stop the destruction, so I didn't betray, and it was the king and Zhang Ji who betrayed the stone castle. ”

Xu Xiaoyi often comes into contact with the people of Jinpeng Castle, among the many reasons for selling information, this one is the most righteous and strict, he can't help but admire, and took out five ingots of gold from the box at his feet, "You went into the courtyard with Dubu Wang and saw everything?"

Shangguan Yinghao's gaze did not stop on the gold, "Well, the lotus girl and the royal lord competed again in the courtyard, this time they had three palms, and the king lord said, 'If you compare again, you and I will not get any benefits, and the only person who is happy is the dragon king.'" The Lotus Girl said, "That's right, why do you have to lose both?" ’”

"And then?"

"The person who negotiated was Zhang Ji, not me. Shangguan Yinghao's tone was full of sourness, and many times jealousy can push a person to take risks more than greed.

"If you were to make a judgment, who do you think will win and who will lose?"

"One is the Dubu King who everyone knows in the Western Regions, and the other is the killer who defected from the Stone Castle and served as the Imperial Master in the Xiaoyue Hall that has long been forgotten. ”

Shangguan Yinghao took all ten ingots of gold, and was at ease, believing that he was worth the price.

Gu Shenwei came out of the inner room, and without Xu Xiaoyi repeating it, he heard all the conversations, "It seems that both of them are seriously injured." ”

"Is it? Could it be that Shangguan Yinghao deliberately concealed the truth? ”

"He should be telling the truth, and it is the Dutch girl and the Dubu King who are hiding the truth. ”

Gu Shenwei was already convinced at this time that the two people who regarded it as a habit to kill everything could only stop fighting in one situation.

He thought that the injured lotus girl was probably about to find a reason to join forces with the Dragon King.
