Chapter 330: Five thousand taels of information
Mr. Zhang, whose original name was Zhang Weiduan, was a famous big businessman in Buffalo Wharf. He gradually created his own niche through the name of Dizitang, and the name "Weiduan" has been gradually forgotten by others. Instead, It's "Third Master"!
However, Mr. Zhang, who has been a master of businessmanship for many years, sadly found that when he faced this mysterious girl in front of him today, he failed in every aspect.
At this time, he felt the threat in Zhong Lingxi's words, and there was a hint of murderous intent in the middle-aged man's eyes.
"What on earth do you want to do?!" the middle-aged man lowered his voice and roared in a low voice.
"I suggest you don't know what I want to do, otherwise you will definitely regret it! The only thing that can prevent you from regretting it now is to tell me why you want to buy it and why you want to sell it?"
Mr. Zhang's mouth twitched, and he looked at the girl like this for a long time. Just when he opened his mouth to break the confrontation, Zhong Lingxi suddenly stopped him and reminded: "Attention, I am asking you, It’s not you!”
The middle-aged man took a deep look at the other person, then drooped his eyelids and said dullly: "Why I bought it is very simple. Of course someone wants it! As for why I sold it again, it is also very simple. I didn't want what I bought. of."
Zhong Lingxi looked at the other party's half-closed eyes and knew that this was the other party's bottom line. Even with threats and inducements, it would be difficult for her to obtain more information.
Although Zhong Lingxi still has many questions about this sentence, it is better than having no clue.
…
"Is there any martial arts secret book suitable for him?" the beautiful girl asked with a smile, and pointed at Dou Xiaowu behind her.
Mr. Zhang glanced at the young man who was still stunned on the spot, and said bitterly: "It's useless for this kid to learn, he is stupid! No, he is not only stupid, but also blind!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's tone, he was obviously blaming Dou Xiaowu for bringing Zhong Lingxi here. If the young man hadn't been fascinated by the girl's beauty, he, Mr. Zhang, would not be so angry here today.
"Third Master, please take the trouble to look for it. I'm sure you can find it. I won't bargain!" the beautiful girl said with a smile.
After about half a cup of tea, the middle-aged man threw Dou Xiaowu a book with two fingers behind him. The cover said "Manniu Sanshou".
The young man looked at the martial arts secret book in his hand and looked like he couldn't put it down. He was so excited that he couldn't even express his thanks.
"Isn't this Manniu Sanshou more suitable for Manniu Jue?" Zhong Lingxi asked with a frown.
Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up, he finally got an opportunity to show off his expertise, and he said righteously:
"No, no. The Barbarian Ox Technique and the Buffalo Body Strengthening Technique are two completely different internal strength techniques. One is to enhance the ability to fight in battle formations, and the other is to increase basic physical strength. And this Barbarian Bull What the Jue is really suitable for is the Manniu Iron Cannon Fist, while the Manniu Sanshou is more of a close-quarters fighting technique, but is more suitable for buffalo body training with strong physical strength."
The beautiful girl nodded and asked, "How much does this book cost?"
"Four thousand nine hundred taels!" Mr. Zhang said with a satisfied expression while stroking his beard.
As soon as these words came out, the young man who originally held the martial arts secret book as a treasure suddenly turned pale.
"Don't ask for high prices. This Manniu Sanshou, which is the Wanxiang-level martial arts secret book, cannot reach the inheritance level at all. Why is it sold so expensive?" Zhong Lingxi asked with a frown.
Although the Zhong family is not short of money, it does not mean that everyone in the Zhong family is willing to be taken advantage of.
Mr. Zhang blew his beard and glared: "I told you just now, the Vientiane-level one starts at one thousand taels, and the inheritance-level one starts at five thousand taels! I priced this Vientiane-level secret book at 4,900 taels, why did I set the price randomly? Already?"
When the beautiful girl heard this, she was speechless. In her understanding, most Wanxiang-level skills are within one thousand taels, and inheritance-level skills are between one thousand and five thousand taels.
After all, these secrets record martial arts techniques, not internal strength techniques, which are not decisive for improving strength. Of course, top-notch martial arts techniques like Zhang Ming's "Tianxia Wind Finger" are naturally not in this category.
There are many martial arts techniques in the world, most of which belong to the Wanxiang level and the inheritance level. Naturally, there are more powerful martial arts techniques on top of them, which are collectively referred to as ancient monuments and secrets.
All the martial arts skills recorded in ancient secret books are not something that ordinary warriors can definitely learn if they get them. They require a certain amount of opportunity, or a prerequisite for cultivation.
This is why that day in the Sihai Pavilion in Luoye City, the armor from the ancient ruins was finally bought for a high price of seven thousand eight hundred taels just because it contained the words "Gongfa" inside.
You must know that it is only a possibility. In other words, the words on the armor may be nothing, just use these 7,800 taels to gamble on a possibility.
"Since we are friends, you know that I bought it for Xiao Wu, but you still charge it so much? Do you think the price is appropriate for the Wanxiang-level martial arts secret book?" Zhong Lingxi said seriously.
"Girl, it doesn't have to be like this..." Dou Xiaowu, who was behind the girl, quickly returned the secret book in his hand to the middle-aged man and waved his hand.
The girl glared at the other person with some hatred, and then still stared at Mr. Zhang opposite.
"Of course I know, but I am taking risks by selling these secret books! Besides, I know this kid better than you do. There is no difference between one thousand taels and four thousand nine hundred taels to him."
This Mr. Zhang is quite a bachelor, he admitted frankly.
Zhong Lingxi nodded and took out a stack of lavender silver notes from the purse at his waist. There were ten of them, five thousand taels.
"Change!" The girl threw the banknotes to the other party very neatly and reminded him loudly.
The middle-aged man picked up the banknote from the stall with a smile, and handed back the hundred taels that Zhong Lingxi had given him to buy Chongxidan.
Zhong Lingxi picked up the martial arts secret book and walked out of the cabin with Dou Xiaowu looking shocked.
When the middle-aged man saw the other party turning around and leaving, he didn't hesitate and said with a smile: "Five thousand taels, in exchange for one piece of information, this deal is worth it! My dear!"
The beautiful girl paused and said calmly: "I take back what I said before, you and I are not friends!"
Mr. Zhang rolled his eyes and nodded: "That's right. Let's just pretend that we have never met each other!"
Zhong Lingxi no longer hesitated and walked outside the shipyard.
……………Dividing line……………
Qin Kai looked at the messy northwest city gate in front of him and the blasted gap, feeling shocked and confused!
After he and Yin Shisan heard the loud noise, they rushed all the way here, but they were always vigilant along the way. After all, Zhang Shishi and his group, as the vanguard, were the enemy after all. What would be left behind if they were not protected? Traps and the like.
As a result, the two of them could not move any faster. Even Zhang Ming, Yi Xifeng and others who were following closely behind them also rushed ahead of them.
"Batu, what's going on here?" The armored man in black armor looked at the guards lined up in front of the city gate with a gloomy expression.
The man wearing a red and black cloak immediately led people to surround them when he saw these two people.
"Batu, what are you doing?" Qin Kai asked with a frown.
"Boss, this person is probably related to Chunfeng Town!" Batu explained, pointing to the man with a cold face.
The black-armored soldiers holding sabers around them all pulled out their weapons and pointed them directly at Yin Shisan, who had a cold face. It was as if he was waiting for Batu's order to capture this man.
"What? Spring Breeze Town!" the armored man asked with surprise. If as the guard of the southwestern city gate, the destruction of the city gate was arousing to a certain extent and made him suspicious, Qin Kai could understand this.
But Batu's question turned out to be related to Chunfeng Town, which caught the armored man off guard, who had been busy fighting Yinren's forces.
Currently, among the five forces, the one that threatens Luoye City the most is Yinren, who has been rising since the beginning of this year. They have completed their transformation and growth under Luoye City's nose!
In three days, Tiexin Village was annexed and Yinren Town was established in one fell swoop!
This series of measures made the originally relatively independent forces more difficult to control. Ji Shen's position as the hegemon of Luoye County was severely challenged.
As one of the eastern and western vassals of Luoye City, Chunfeng Town is undoubtedly the first target force that Ji Shen helps to complete the great cause of unification. Whether it was collecting martial arts secrets from all sides or sending heavyweights like Ji Rentu as envoys to Chunfeng Town.
These are all sparing no effort to show Yan Mingbo the sincerity of Luoye!
"Wait! Don't do anything yet. Why do you say that?" Qin Kai raised his hand to stop the black-armored soldier who was about to pounce.
The soldier wearing black armor and holding a saber in his hand was hesitant. After all, the other party was the person in charge of the six gates. Although in the military, it is important to obey orders from your immediate superiors, if the target is their immediate superiors, most soldiers will choose to stop and wait.
"Sir, we just found out a group of spies. They recruited themselves. They said they were from the Shahe Gang and went to contact the spies from Chunfeng Town outside the city." Batu simply recounted the previous experience.
"What? You said the captain of Shahe Gambling House ordered them to do it?" Yin Shisan asked with murderous intent on his face.
Batu glanced at Qin Kai and nodded in response.
"Hmph! This bitch! If I had known, I wouldn't have let her go!" the cold and stern man growled hatefully.
Qin Kai later noticed the violent fluctuations in internal energy and came from the south city gate. When he arrived, he happened to witness the battle between Zhang Yanshi and Zhao Long defeating Qinghe Hall leader Li Qingping in an alley.
Therefore, the armored man did not know what happened at Shahe Gambling House, nor did he know the key role Qin Hongyao played in this incident.
But before Yin Shisan could say anything to explain the matter clearly, a man dressed as a young man rushed towards here on a fast horse.
"It's from the master's house!" Yin Shisan had sharp eyes and saw the identity of the person at a glance.
After his reminder, everyone present reacted and said in unison: "Welcome to your order!"
The young boy turned over and dismounted, ran over quickly, walked closer, took out two letters from his arms, and said to Qin Kai and Yin Shisan: "Two gentlemen, the commander-in-chief has sent an order!"
Qin Kai and Yin Shisan looked at each other, full of confusion, but they still stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to accept the order.
"I order you two to read this letter first and make a decision quickly!" the man said loudly.
Qin Kai took the letters and handed one of them to Yin Shisan. The two of them quickly read and dug up the letter written by Batu, which contained urgent military information from the guard.
Immediately I understood why Batu surrounded them both when he came up. If it weren't for Qin Kai, the Iron Wall General, who was so prestigious and the person in charge of the six gates, Yin Shisan would have been captured by a group of black-armored soldiers at this time.
After reading the letter, the armored man's eyes flashed with confusion. He took a deep look at Yin Shisan beside him and said calmly: "It seems you have to explain it carefully!"
The cold and stern man sighed softly, put down the two narrow knives in his hands, threw them to the armored man, and then said calmly: "Let's take a rest first, and I will tell you slowly. I have suffered a lot from the previous battles. Internal injuries, don’t worry I can’t run anymore.”
Batu frowned and looked at Qin Kai, obviously following the leader's instructions.
"This is not the place to talk. Batu, you ask your soldiers to clear the area around the city gate, and then send a team of troops to Chunfeng Town. No matter what, you have to tell Lord Ji. After all, he is in the city at this time. Spring Breeze Town.”
The man wearing a black and red cloak immediately nodded in response, and then led the two people up to the tower to rest for a while.
…
Yi Xifeng took the two people, whose breath was already unstable, and followed the red bird to an unused courtyard. Before he could retreat from the courtyard door, he heard a sound breaking through the air from his left side.
Although the fair boy also suffered the backlash from Jiang Jinjiu's technique, his physical strength was astonishing. As the only one among the three who retained a certain level of combat power, he was always ready to fight.
But in a blink of an eye, Yi Xifeng realized that he was too sensitive, and what was flying towards him was not a hidden weapon, but a gray figure.
The figure is not tall, and is even a little petite. The black cloak still cannot hide the girl's moving figure. The person who came was none other than Li Xintian, who had been thinking about the fair boy.
The next moment, the girl appeared behind Yi Xifeng. The girl bit her lip, saying nothing.
Young Bai Jing said softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine!"
It was okay if Yi Xifeng didn't say anything. As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Xintian's eye circles turned red. Her gentle little hands were now on the fair boy's back, and a steady stream of inner energy was pouring in, nourishing the meridians in the other person's body.
Zhang Yanshi and Lu Huahua also stepped out and helped Zhang Ming and Zhao Long respectively.
"Their situation is not very good, let's go inside first!" As soon as Zhang Shiyan supported the young man in Jinyi, he noticed the internal energy flowing in the other person's body. This was a manifestation of the dissipation of power and a sign of impending fall.
Lu Huahua also frowned and whispered to Xia Mingfei behind her: "Hurry and prepare some new clothes and needlework. Zhao Long's injury is not serious and needs to be dealt with quickly."
The boy with two swords single-handedly dealt with Yin Shisan, who was in the realm of knights entering the house. Although the cold and stern man at that time had been beaten by Zhang Ming's "World-Quiding Wind Finger" before he fought with him, he was unable to fight back and even suffered a serious blow. Although injured, he could still severely injure Zhao Long!
As for Zhang Ming, who had been fighting continuously, he fell into a semi-coma due to excessive overdraft.
Looking at the two people being carried in, Yi Xifeng smiled and said to the girl next to him: "I just said, I'm fine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fair boy frowned slightly, but there was a touch of warmth and helplessness in his eyes. It turned out that Li Xintian heard his sarcastic remarks and couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh of his waist!
