"See Liu Hongdao!"
Zhou Dong's face is indeed very useful, and it can be enjoyed conveniently even in the entrance of the main hall. After waiting for less than half a cup of tea, the handyman who went in to report came out and led Zhou Dong and Bai Lang into the public room behind the side hall. They met the masters of the affairs hall, Hong Dao and Liu who had just made tea. Asahi.
Bailang actually feels better. After all, the former Blood Guard Chief of Yuzhong, the state capital, and a dignified third-grade warrior, Li Jiang, personally visited his house. Bailang wouldn't feel uncomfortable being suppressed in terms of strength. Compared to Li Jiang, Liu Xu and Liu Hongdao in front of him were far behind.
But Bailang also understood that Liu Xu was no ordinary person. Compared with Li Xunlai, the red sword master who was previously in charge of the East Market, his status in the sword studio is much higher. Because Li Xun is watching the scene. Liu Xu is the hall leader.
"Zhou Dong, you haven't been to my place for a long time. What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Liu Xu is over sixty years old. Even though the body of a fifth-grade warrior is still strong, it is undeniable that he has passed the stage where a warrior can best fight. If he cannot break through the third level and reach the state of returning to his original nature, then Liu Xu's strength will gradually decline as he gets older.
In fact, it can be seen from Liu Xu's position in the affairs hall that although he has a high status, he has withdrawn from the main fighting echelon in the sword hall. It is a semi-retirement state.
"Master Liu, I have been troubled by the blood guards from the state capital recently, and I know that the sword shop must not be stable, so I dare not disturb Master Liu. This time, there is also a good underachiever who wants to take advantage of Liu. This is your way." Zhou Dong said, taking half a step to the side and pushing Bai Lang forward.
Bai Lang was not afraid of the stage. He cupped his fists and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "Bai Lang, a street wanderer, has met Mr. Liu!"
He was brought here by Zhou Dong, so there would be no problem if he followed Zhou Dong and called "Master Liu". Otherwise, Bailang wouldn't be able to shout.
"Hey, how old are you?"
"Replying to Mr. Liu, the younger one is sixteen this year."
"A sixteen-year-old eighth-level warrior, tsk tsk, I haven't seen him in many years. Yes, Zhou Dong brought you here today because he wanted to choose a suitable promotion task, right?" Liu Xu admired, and he could tell at the same time. What is the purpose of Zhou Dong bringing such a young eighth-level warrior here.
"Yes, Mr. Liu, I was lucky enough to break through the introduction of "Sword Qi Jue" last night when I was practicing swordsmanship. Now Shuang Xiaocheng has entered the ranks of eighth-level warriors. I also want to have an opportunity to make more contributions to the swordsmanship hall, so I want to Try to be a waist knife. After asking Brother Dong, Brother Dong said that he should listen to Master Liu's opinion on this matter, so Bai Lang dared to ask Master Liu to give some advice to the boy for Brother Dong's sake!
The boy has nothing to repay. In the future, he will remember Mr. Liu's kindness and obey Mr. Liu's orders. "As he said this, Bai Lang took out the sealed money and handed it to Liu Xu's desk in an orderly manner, then stepped back three steps away.
Liu Xu did not pick up the red seal on the desk, but looked at Bai Lang who was standing next to Zhou Dong with a bit of surprise.
"Zhou Dong, you brought this little brother out in the past two years?"
"Hehe, yes Master Liu, he has followed me since he entered the knife studio. But this boy is smart, sensible, and reliable. Now he is also good in practice. So Zhou Dong also shamelessly asked Master Liu to support this boy. Move, from now on he will be Liu Ye’s disciple in the sword shop.”
"Haha, Zhou Dong, you are going to make trouble for me!" Liu Xu leaned back in his chair as he spoke, with a smile on his face.
The three people in the public house all felt as clear as a mirror. Today is not only asking for help, but also visiting the dock.
And the relationship between the three people is very clear. Zhou Dong used to be with Liu Xu, while Bai Lang was with Zhou Dong. To Bailang, Liu Xu is: Brother You's eldest brother.
"Please Master Liu to show you the way!" Bailang also bowed appropriately and bowed again.
Just like this, Liu Xu has been in the sword hall for so many years and has seen so many people coming and going, life and death. At Bailang's age, he can count the number of eighth-level warriors on one hand, not to mention that this boy has a lot of words to advance and retreat. It is neither humble nor arrogant and at the same time makes people feel sincere and obedient.
He glanced at Zhou Dong and saw a smile in his eyes. Liu Xucai chuckled, said "That's fine", and put away the red envelope on the table. He didn't bother to look at how much money was inside. He even sealed an extra five taels of money inside and got up directly and walked to Bailang.
"I accept the filial piety you gave me just now. This is my meeting gift for you. Take it. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me. You can also report my name outside."
"This...Bailang, thank you Master Liu for the compliment!" After a moment's hesitation, Bailang took the red seal with both hands, which had doubled in weight after just one turn. He didn't expect this. But this did not prevent him from understanding what Liu Xu meant.
This is a one-and-done relationship. From now on, he, Bailang, will be in Liu Xu's line.
From now on, I will also have a backer in the sword shop? ! Bailang knew it so well.
Liu Xu patted Bai Lang on the shoulder. He liked this wise boy very much.
"Zhou Dong, you sent a good person here today, very good!" Liu Xu laughed and walked back to the chair to sit down, leaned back comfortably, and continued: "I want to live a life of ups and downs. Should we grind harder or be more stable? You can decide for yourself first."
Bailang didn't think much about it. He was not a madman who liked to live an exciting life, and he had younger brothers and sisters to support. The reason why he wanted to raise his waist was just to make more money. So he directly repeated what Zhou Dong had warned him before.
"Returning to Mr. Liu, the bonds around Bai Lang cannot allow Bai Lang to act arbitrarily, so I just ask for a word of stability." After a pause, Bai Lang scratched his head and continued with a bit of a silly smile: "It would be better if there was more oil and water! "
"Huh? Hahaha... You're such an honest kid! It suits my taste! It's rare for a person of your age not to be aggressive but to be stable, but I have to say that your idea is correct!
In the moment of life and death, although one can experience great terror and gain great enlightenment, it has an absolutely immeasurable stimulating effect on spiritual practice. But more often than not, you don’t have to wait until you gain insight into life and death, and you lose your life first.
Very good, if you are looking for stability and wealth, then it is best to go to Qianfang Town. There will be big moves in Qianfang here in the East Market recently. Yang Hongdao is already looking for a suitable candidate. I also happen to need someone here to help me get there. If you are willing, I can show you the way there. How is it? "
"It's all up to Mr. Liu's arrangement!" Bai Lang was overjoyed, Zhou Dong had really succeeded.
Liu Xu nodded, thought for a moment, and took out a bamboo slip from a wooden box on the right. It was carved from bamboo, with small characters on it and a red seal at the end.
"This is a bad debt. I owe the knife shop a total of fifteen gold, and the interest is one cent per month, and the interest is compounded. According to the normal rules, this kind of bad debt should have been cut off long ago. The principal is returned and the interest is collected. If there is a family member, just transfer the account to it. . If there are no family members, if the tail cannot be closed in the end, then the head will be used to compensate and it will be considered as the end.
But the trouble is that the debtor is involved with the city lord's mansion. It's life-threatening and nothing can be squeezed out. Now it is difficult to recover all the principal, only 70% has been recovered. It has become a task that tests both means and skills. Portions are heavy.
If you can complete this task, then the place I just mentioned will be a sure thing, and it will also be a great opportunity for you to show your face in the knife shop.
If you fail, this task has already been shelved by a few knives, so it won't embarrass you.
There is no harm at all, do you want to try it? "
