In order to tie up Zhou Xiaozhou, a possible big customer, Qiu Yun still found the female shopkeeper.
The female shopkeeper looked at Zhou Xiaozhou for a long time, but she really didn't recognize him. At that time, she just thought he was smart and gave him a chance. How could she remember such a little person?
Moreover, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Today, Zhou Xiaozhou's splendid clothes have no trace of those days.
She said with a smile: "This young man does look familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him before. I'm really sorry.
Sir, can you give me a hint? "
"Ten taels of silver fare."
Those ten taels of silver were used to unlock Long Wei's shackles, and they were also regarded as the key to his rapid rise.
Without the ten taels of silver, the blacksmith might have started a quarrel, Long Wei would have been killed, he would have been wanted, and his life would have taken a different trajectory.
"It's you!"
The female shopkeeper looked at him several times in surprise. She was dressed in fine clothes and still had official authority. It was hard to imagine that this man was the young driver who met him a few years ago, "Where is this...?" "
"Royal Palace, Dragon Head Guard."
"This is a great success, congratulations!"
It is indeed a bit of a surprise to meet old friends. The leading guard is now famous in the royal city, and everyone with some ability knows it.
The female shopkeeper asked, "So, you must know Mr. Zhou who is now famous in the royal city. Can you recommend me to him?"
Has it become popular all over the royal city?
"Exactly down there."
He is the only one among the leading guards with the surname Zhou, so he must be the one he is talking about.
"It's you!!"
The female shopkeeper looked at him even more surprised, so surprised that she almost pulled out her eyeballs.
What a surprise.
A little person I met by chance turned into a powerful figure in Wu Shengguo, and he got in there for real, not a big shot visiting incognito in private to show off. Unless you have experienced it yourself, you would never be so surprised, or even have huge doubts about your own vision. Such a person should have kept him at all costs!
Her surprised expression made Zhou Xiaozhou very happy and his vanity was greatly satisfied.
What I want is for you to be surprised.
Qiu Yun next to her was even more surprised. She thought he was just a playboy from a big family, but he actually became an official and a powerful official.
She is also a cultivator, so she is naturally not very interested in playboys, but is quite interested in young men who have already entered the officialdom. A beautiful marriage, a beautiful marriage...
Many times, a woman's look can make a man's vanity soar. From this point of view, Zhou Xiaozhou is actually similar to Long Ting, or even worse.
Likes to be in the limelight.
Like to show off.
Although Wanbao Pavilion is only a purely commercial organization, it requires collusion between government and businessmen in any place in order to stand firm and reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles. Naturally, I am very happy to be able to get on the line with the popular Mr. Zhou.
Since we are old friends and have a better relationship, we promise him a more favorable price, 30% off on all purchases, and VIP treatment.
Can save a lot of money.
The richer people are, the more affordable and high-quality things they can buy.
With such kindness, Zhou Xiaozhou thought that he still had one or two hundred flying swords on his body, and asked: "Do you want to buy the flying swords?"
"Of course I'll accept it."
The female shopkeeper smiled and said, "If Mr. Zhou has something that is inconvenient to handle, I can do it for you."
As for people in the officialdom, who can’t have some gray income? Converting gray income into cash is one of Wanbao Pavilion’s main businesses.
"I still have more than a hundred flying swords in my hand. What's the price?"
More than a hundred...
The quantity is not small.
The female shopkeeper said with a smile: "As long as the price is right, we have our own way to quickly convert it into cash. It depends on Mr. Zhou whether he wants it faster or slower, so the price will naturally vary."
Zhou Xiaozhou said: "I am not short of money for the time being, but there is no time limit."
"Don't rush to make a move. The price will naturally be higher. If Mr. Zhou trusts this pavilion, he will leave it to us. We will only charge some fees according to the rules, which will definitely satisfy Mr. Zhou."
"Can."
Zhou Xiaozhou is now in a high position, so Wanbao Pavilion will naturally not offend him and will definitely try its best to give him a good price.
He happily handed over all the extra flying swords to her, and then ordered a batch of elixirs. Mutual benefit would allow the business to continue for a long time.
When we walked out of Wanbao Pavilion, it was already dark.
The lights in Wanbao Pavilion are bright, and it seems that more and more people are coming in and out. There is a heavy flow of people at the door.
Qiu Yun followed him reluctantly: "Master Zhou, if you have time, you can find the young lady to have tea and discuss Taoism..."
Let’s talk about the Tao while drinking tea. By the way, let’s discuss the art of double cultivation. It is also a kind of Tao, and it will come naturally.
If it happens, it can be considered an adventure.
"Another day, another day..."
It seemed that the harvest was not small. Zhou Xiaozhou was in a good mood. He smiled and walked towards the crowd. When someone passed by, he was suddenly stabbed. Being so close, he was caught off guard, and the blade instantly pierced his lower back.
In a moment of pain, he waved his hand and punched the opponent's arm holding the knife, and there was a sound of fracture.
The man ran forward and disappeared into the crowd of people under the night.
This was extremely joyful, but unexpectedly, he was assassinated.
The hair on Zhou Xiaozhou's body stood up.
He had only been in the royal city for a few days. In the past few days, he had caught up with the case of Sun Qin, the governor of the Yushitai, and therefore attracted an assassination. It must be related to these things.
Some people don't want him to continue making trouble here.
The water in the royal city is very deep.
Fortunately, this assassin is not very capable, at most he is at the level of a Xuan-level warrior, and his repeated tamping of Qi makes his body-protecting Qi quite stable. The opponent only stabbed him hard with a knife. Just some flesh.
This time I was lucky to survive. The next time a more powerful assassin comes, I won't be so lucky.
It is indeed very dangerous to appear blatantly in a crowded place. It is no wonder that those big figures are cheering when they appear. Being approached by others is very dangerous in itself.
He was afraid that there were assassins, so even if his skin was only broken a little, he stuffed a rejuvenation pill into his mouth, and while showing his shield to protect himself, he ran quickly towards Zuofu.
No one is chasing him blatantly. After all, he is an official. Once you fall into his eyes, it will be difficult to escape.
Seeing that no one was chasing him, he ran towards Jingzhao Mansion instead.
He ran to prepare a case, indicating that he had been assassinated.
Regardless of whether the Jingzhao Mansion would catch the murderer for him, he would start killing others with confidence.
Unexpectedly, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion were very indifferent to him, even if he revealed his identity, they would still be indifferent, which is a bit unimaginable.
Is this intentional to offend him?
Originally, he didn't expect Jingzhao Mansion to catch the murderer for him, but his casual attitude made him a little angry, and he immediately slammed the table.
"You have to catch the assassin within one day, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Only one day?
The clerk in charge of keeping records was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "How long it will take to catch the assassin is out of my hands. I'm just recording this matter."
