Not knowing what happened, Chu Xiang was a little confused and said, "The finances have always been managed by you, why are you suddenly out of money?"
"You don't have to spend money to fight. The military hospital just sent a bill. The money left in the account is only a fraction. I can't get so much money at once. I still have to pay for various military expenses. ." Yang Rong said.
When Yang Rong said this, Chu Xiang thought that after this battle, a lot of people were injured in Jiangwu Hall. It would definitely cost a lot of money to use the military's best medical resources to treat them. Some time ago, Jiangwu Hall was reorganized into Zero, almost completely lost the way to make money, and the martial arts hall didn't have much savings to begin with, so the little money left in the finances was really not enough.
"Uh...you hold off for a moment while I think of a way." Chu Xiang said helplessly. Fighting is indeed a waste of money.
"Hurry up, those in the government are just like death-rushers." Yang Rong warned.
"I know, I know." Chu Xiang responded helplessly and quickly hung up the phone.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Sun Yulou laughed happily. Who would have thought that the powerful demon king who had just defeated the enemy in a battle and commanded a huge force like Jiangwutang would be forced to cheat by money.
Sun Yulou was a little confused. He was not such a frivolous person, so why did he laugh so happily and happily?
"Don't look at me. I don't have enough money and I don't have enough face." Li Tianxing became selfless at some point.
"I knew you were unreliable." Chu Xiang said angrily.
The treasury of the Jiangwu Hall was only a fraction of the money. It was obviously a lot of money. What should we do? Where could we get so much money? Chu Xiang fell into deep thought.
After a while, Chu Xiang stood up and said to Sun Yulou: "I'm going to get some money and keep an eye on it. If anything goes wrong, you're the only one to ask."
"The coach left his post without authorization, and it turned out that someone else was blamed for the mistake." Sun Yulou said with a chuckle.
"That's right." Li Tianxing said.
Li Tianxing was originally here to sit on the front line, and he would definitely not leave if nothing happened. The enemy retreated in a wave, and their strength could not be replenished in a short period of time. It was almost impossible to take the initiative to attack. With Li Tianxing and Sun Yulou in charge, they should be able to do everything.
Not bothering to pay attention to the two people's taunts, Chu Xiang left directly and flew away. He had to get money to fill the hole as soon as possible to avoid Yang Rong from being too stressed.
Chu Xiang left the front line and headed for Wucheng. In fact, he had no way of making money, he just subconsciously went to the most familiar place.
Where can I get money? I've looked at all my friends, but no one is rich. Do I really want to be a knight who borrows money by force, robs the rich and gives to the poor? The key is, even if you steal and rob, how long will it take to get enough money?
I have been thinking hard all the way, and I have almost returned to Wucheng. Chu Xiang has not yet thought of a serious way to make money. He will think of a way when the situation arises. Of course, there is no serious way. If he wants to get a lot of money in a short time, he can only use evil ways. , but how to go about this evil way.
Of course Chu Xiang didn't want to go into evil ways, and he wouldn't laugh to death if someone found out. Who was rich and could have some connections? After returning to Wucheng, Chu Xiang finally thought of someone.
Wucheng has been established for more than three years. From a few small villages to a super big city, this city has given birth to many rich people. Many people have become rich overnight. There are also many people who were already rich and are now even richer.
The person Chu Xiang thought of was originally a rich man. He was a rich man before the drastic change. He donated a museum by himself, and any item in his home collection was a treasure. In fact, Chu Xiang had never met this person. He only added his contact information, chatted online, and exchanged poems.
He knew that he was still there because his collection was stolen some time ago. Chu Xiang asked the Jiangwu Hall to check it out and helped him a little, but he didn't let him know.
No. 80 Qinghe Road, this is an ordinary courtyard, but compared with the tall buildings next to it, it is not so ordinary. Land in Wucheng is at a premium, and most of the buildings are above five floors. Only this small courtyard is a single-story building, surrounded by high-rise buildings.
The wall is less than three meters high. There is nothing on the wall to prevent people from climbing over. The door is a wooden door, one foot high and one foot wide. It is unlocked and unfastened. It is just ajar, as if it is not afraid of being broken into at all.
There is a simple plaque hanging on the lintel, with the words "draw the sword and stay" written in it. The writing is vigorous and powerful, and it penetrates the back of the paper. There were people in the yard, three of them. There was a doorbell next to the door, which was frozen by the water vapor. It seemed that no one had visited for a long time, so Chu Xiang pressed it gently.
"Please come in." A slightly older voice came from forty meters away.
A familiar voice. Chu Xiang had heard this voice many times, because when they discussed poetry, they would often quarrel because of their different opinions, exchanging a lot of verbal arguments.
"Master Bao, don't be offended if you take the liberty of visiting." Chu Xiang said, pushing the door open and entering.
"You are Xiang Lin, no, you are Chu Xiang." Baoye's voice sounded a little surprised.
Xiang Lin is Chu Xiang’s nickname. It is the name used by Chu Xiang and Bao Ye when they communicate online. He has not told Bao Ye his real name. Apparently Bao Ye heard his voice and discovered that he was with Demon Lord Chu Xiang. The voice was exactly the same, and I knew it was Chu Xiang. After the drastic change, Chu Xiang never contacted Mr. Bao, so he forgot about Mr. Bao's existence. He never thought of the generous and generous Mr. Bao, otherwise there would be no point in thinking so hard.
"Master Bao is still so smart." Chu Xiang said.
After entering the second courtyard gate, Chu Xiang saw three people cooking and drinking together in the corridor. Chu Xiang had seen all three of them, but they were all photos, not real people. This was the first time they met.
"Master Bao, Brother Xu, Dr. Liu, I'm disturbing your drinking pleasure." Chu Xiangyuan cupped his hands.
"So you are Xiang Lin, and Xiang Lin is also Chu Xiang. Come on, come on." Master Bao waved happily.
Brother Xu’s name is Xu Hong. He is a famous painter. He is the youngest in his early forties. Dr. Liu is a top expert in cells. His name is Liu Song, who is already in his fifties. They are both friends of Master Bao and often travel together. worldwide. What surprised Chu Xiang was that Xu Hong had the cultivation level to break through Dan Jin. When he was outside the door, Chu Xiang thought he was the guard invited by Master Bao, but he didn't expect it to be Xu Hong.
"Abao, who is this distinguished guest? I don't think I've seen him before." Liu Song nodded slightly to Chu Xiang.
"Brother Song, you don't even know about the famous Demon Lord Chu Xiang." Xu Hong said with a smile.
"It turns out that it's the Demon King who has eyes but cannot see Mount Tai. No wonder." Liu Song said.
Chu Xiang has never contacted Liu Song, and the two have never talked. It is estimated that Liu Song is not someone who pays attention to the situation in the martial arts, so he does not know Chu Xiang.
"Hello Dr. Liu, I often hear Master Bao talk about your research, but I have never had the opportunity to meet him. Today I finally met him in person." Coming to the side of the three of them, Chu Xiang smiled and bowed slightly.
"Isn't this the first time you've seen me?" Mr. Bao, who had gray hair, said dissatisfiedly. Although his voice was a little old, it was still loud. He wanted to give Chu Xiang something to sit down, but found that there was nothing to sit around. .
Mr. Bao was about to get up to get a chair for Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang shook his head with a smile, grabbed his palm, and the wind and snow rolled into his palm. He put the snow ball in his palm to the ground, and it fell into a mound. Sit down opposite.
"Tsk, tsk, this skill is amazing." Baoye praised.
Master Bao laughed. Brother Xu’s kung fu is no worse than mine. "Chu Xiang said.
"I can't afford to wear this high hat." Xu Hong laughed.
"My painting skills are superb, and my kung fu is so high, I can't compare to it," Chu Xiang said.
"Okay, okay, you guys should stop complimenting each other and have a drink first." Baoye said, placing a blue and white wine glass in front of Chu Xiang, and when the bottle was tilted, it was filled by Chu Xiang.
"Although the wine is not a famous brand, it is much better than those famous brands. Come on, do it." Baoye raised his glass.
The smell of the wine was probably more than 40 degrees, and Chu Xiang could only drink three glasses at most. However, in this situation, there was no way to shirk the blame, so Chu Xiang could only raise his glasses.
Bao Ye, Liu Song and Xu Hong all have a lot of wine. Bao Ye has a lot of wine in his home and is a real wine expert. He often invites people to his home to drink and drink all night long.
After having a drink, Chu Xiang picked up the wine bottle and filled it for the three of them, saying, "Master Bao, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I came to you today because I have something to ask for."
"Oh! It's an honor for me to be able to ask Lord Demon Lord for help." Mr. Bao said with a smile.
Liu Song and Xu Hong looked at Chu Xiang. When he continued, they were also curious about what could be so difficult for the Demon King that he came to ask Bao Ye instead.
"Borrowing money is like borrowing money but never paying it back." Chu Xiang said.
Mr. Bao burst out laughing and said, "I thought I wanted something, but it turns out I wanted to borrow money."
Xu Hong also laughed, and Liu Song looked at Chu Xiang strangely. He really couldn't understand why Chu Xiang, the demon king with such a huge power as Jiangwutang, came to Baoye to borrow money.
"How about it, borrow or not?" Chu Xiang said. He did not explain and wanted to know how Bao Ye would react.
"I don't have much money, but I have a lot of valuable things. Just pick a few things in the warehouse and it should be enough for whatever you do." Baoye laughed.
"Thank you, Master Bao." Chu Xiang raised his glass.
"It's a trivial matter." Mr. Bao said with a hearty smile and raised glasses together.
Chu Xiang drank it all in one gulp, filled it up for the two of them, and raised his glass: "I borrowed money when we first met. Although I am thick-skinned, I still can't bear it. It really made the three brothers laugh. "
Bao Ye and Xu Hong laughed again, and Liu Song was even more curious about why Chu Xiang came to borrow money. It should not be a trivial matter to make Lord Demon Lord feel comfortable borrowing money.
The four of them drank it all in one go, and Chu Xiang filled it with the three more. After drinking three glasses of 40 to 50 degree wine in a row, Chu Xiang felt a wave of hot air coming out of his belly and going straight up his throat.
"Brother Xu, this Kung Fu is just like drinking alcohol. A stream of hot air rises in the belly and spreads into the limbs and bones. But this is just a preliminary Kung Fu. At this stage, the three elements of energy, energy and spirit must be unified. Everywhere is in the Dantian and everywhere. The Dantian is all over the body, and the whole body is warmed up all the time, like drinking alcohol." Chu Xiang said, after saying this sentence, Chu Xiang already felt a little dizzy and hot, and felt that the breath coming out of his mouth was warm.
"You can talk about kung fu later. Have you composed any good poems or filled in any clever lyrics recently? Please give me one to listen to first." Mr. Bao said dissatisfied.
"Haha, okay." Chu Xiang smiled, raised his glass and touched it with Mr. Bao, drank it all in one gulp, and chanted:
For half the night, I was confused and dreaming,
I don’t know that the rain is chaotic and the wind is crazy,
Floating things happen,
Dare you talk?
Wandering around without any direction,
Drinking alone and sighing,
The written book is difficult to translate,
Awake,
It’s for life,
drunk,
Also for life.
