"Where is my black crack gun? Is it wrapped in a gray cloth? Old Dong, did you steal it while I was asking for advice?" Coach Li, who had just returned from Mr. Lin, slapped the man who was sleeping under the tarpaulin. On Old Dong's body, Old Dong stood up after being awakened.
Coach Li saw that there was no short gun of his in the car, "I just saw something running past. You are good at it, go and take a look?"
Old Dong, who had not yet come to his senses, replied in confusion, picked up his knife and pointed towards the place where Coach Li just pointed.
Coach Li grinned at Yin Feng who peeked out after hearing the commotion, "Let Old Dong move around."
When he was about to leave, he saw a piece of gray cloth under the place where Cheng Yun was sitting. He looked very familiar. "Where is your brother?"
"I went into the woods with Qingniu and said I would be back soon."
Yin Feng thought something had happened to Cheng Yun and wanted to find Mr. Lin. Just as he was about to jump out of the car, the sound of ox hooves on the ground came.
Cheng Yun was sitting between the two horns of the green bull and was about to show off the monster white eagle behind him when he saw Coach Li next to Yin Feng looking meaningfully at the black short gun he was holding in his hand.
Cheng Yun chuckled and took out the gray cloth from the car, wiped the black short gun carefully, and handed it to Coach Li, "It looks good, let's try it, I forgot to tell the coach, I'm sorry, hahaha."
Coach Li smelled the obvious smell of blood, and said to the smiling Cheng Yun, "A glass of blood essence."
Cheng Yun's face fell, he nodded reluctantly, took out the demon pill from his arms and said to Yin Feng, "It should be fine if I sell this white eagle. You can keep this demon pill."
Yinfeng accepted it seriously and glanced at the unwashed blood on Cheng Yun's ear, "Brother, this should be Han Yuying who turned into a monster. Are you okay?"
"It's nothing serious, I just got yelled at." Cheng Yun waved his hand and saw the old village chief starting to call for everyone to take action. He asked Yin Feng to get in the car and wait while he loaded Bai Ying's body into the truck and jumped on it himself. Start decomposing the corpse of the monster.
After everyone left for a while, Old Dong jumped steadily from the tree on the roadside and landed next to Cheng Yun, "Can you hunt monsters?"
Cheng Yun curled his lips, "Looking for an opportunity to sneak attack and destroy two wings, the back is similar to beating a ferocious beast that is about to become a monster, but it was tricked."
Old Dong looked at the carefully disassembled and complete monster with greedy eyes.
"Don't you play with a small jade cup every day?" Lao Dong's eyes lit up and he hurriedly took out this cup.
Cheng Yun looked at it and it was indeed small enough. He took the cup of cold blood and said, "Give it to the coach and tell him that I thank him."
Old Dong knew that he would be wrong, so he sighed and carefully took the cup and went to find Coach Li.
When Coach Li saw Lao Dong coming over with a small cup, he laughed and cursed Iron Rooster, took an exquisite animal skin bag from his waist and poured the essence and blood into it.
Old Dong, who had just sat down and planned to learn how to decompose luck, had half of the wrapped monster liver in his hand. "Go back to the village and ask Mr. Lin to grab three qian of sexual heat medicine. Mix it with wine to invigorate the blood and dispel the strange odor." , the sequelae of the bad luck in your arm that happened three years ago should be solved."
Old Dong smiled and accepted it, clasped his fists, and moved his butt towards the place next to Yinfeng's car.
The convoy in Baiwen Village wandered around for three hours, and finally left the small road and entered the main road. It only took an hour to take the official road to the Zisu Imperial City.
Cheng Yun also finished breaking down the monsters early, put away what should be harvested, loaded what should be sold into Lin Lao's car, and played with the green bull's tail with his fingers.
Seeing that the trees and grass on both sides of the road were no longer the same as before, there were several officials checking the passing cars and people at a distance.
A little further away, there are some small stalls selling wine and food, and some people even set aside a large area for resting and feeding all kinds of beasts of burden. Naturally, the prices are clearly written.
The success of three years ago may not be clear, but today's success, the exchange of various silver coins for three hundred taels of gold is clearly indispensable.
"This bowl of cold water can be sold for one penny? How about cutting a big handful of grass in the mountains for twenty pence? And it's understandable that this noodle soup can be sold for five pence."
Old Dong looked at Cheng Yun making a fuss in amusement, and Coach Li joked, "The monster you hunted today was enough to take down the vendors in this section of the road. How about I also pay some money, and then you and I will have seven accounts in the account?" Three points, if I take less, it will be considered as a favor to the talented swordsman."
Cheng Yun lowered his head to calculate, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he turned back to look at Yin Feng excitedly.
Yinfeng was helpless, "There are about thirty miles away from the imperial city. There are thirty merchants of all kinds. They are all farmers from nearby villages. They can make more money by setting up stalls on the official road. It is difficult for them to get paid to sell. Even if we can buy all the goods, the profit will probably be less than twenty taels of silver a day. Apart from this, it is wrong to take away their livelihood."
Cheng Yun understood the general idea and concluded that his brother was right. He glanced at Coach Li and said, "What Yin Feng said is what I just wanted to tell you. Don't think about such things anymore. It's not good."
Instructor Li suppressed a smile. Although he disliked the sour scholar, he looked down upon the sour scholar's junior brother.
I thought that I would teach another rotten scholar, dull and simple, but Yinfeng looked at everything comprehensively and considered the daily livelihood of the farmers on the roadside, so he persuaded his brother to start with his hobbies. He just hoped that the sage academy would live up to its name and not get involved with anything. This hidden wind that clears the inner lake.
"Good advice from Cheng Sword Immortal. I, a mountainous village man, think too simply. I need to be taught a lesson!" Cheng Yun narrowed his eyes and nodded.
Yinfeng was helpless, but believed that his brother would never suffer a loss, so he sat down and looked at the scene on the roadside. After all, it was his first time out of the village. Even if he had read about it in books before and his senior brother had told it, seeing it for the first time was still novel.
"The store will bring three bowls of wine and a plate of wild vegetables." The two officials sat down, and one walked up to the old man and handed over fifty coins. "This is the account for the meal a few days ago. Fifty coins, Li Uncle, please order."
The old man's face was stern, "Yesterday, my little grandson was almost hit by a wild boar. It was the three of you who blocked the wild boar and saved the restless little bastard. You were also covered in filth. The wild boar only separated one of its legs and let him go." My old man took your money just to scold me for not doing my duty."
The official who handed over the money couldn't shirk the money and took it back, "We have regulations from above. We receive a salary. This is what we should do. Even though we did our best to kill the wild boar, we wouldn't have seen it without your grandson to lure it." , he took a leg that was just right for our brother, and aunt is very good at her craftsmanship, so no matter what, we took advantage of it."
The old man laughed, took out the stewed three-fat pork and served it with wild vegetables, "Don't shirk it anymore. In recent years, the imperial city has been changing your rules. I don't understand, old man, but those who work in the city My son and daughter-in-law said that the days are getting more and more promising, and the imperial city is slowly getting back to what I said it was like thirty years ago. Thirty years ago, I only knew that the monks who came down from the mountain to train and the warriors were not allowed to kill people at will. If the villages I passed by were like Even if he is attacked by a ferocious beast, he will still be eager to help. At most, he will just have a meal. If he is even more enthusiastic, he will leave some tricks so that the young men in the village can practice not to be afraid of the wild beasts. Old man, I owe my current body and bones to that trick."
"There are many body-training warriors who have gone down from the mountain and have entered the government and received salary from the court. In a few days, I should be able to enter the bone-forging realm. Then you two can call the captain to come."
The two people sitting seemed to get up in a panic, lowered their heads and clasped their fists, "Congratulations to Captain Wang for your advancement, but just drinking this bowl of wine is not worthy of the captain's status."
The three of them huddled together, enjoying the coolness of the afternoon. The old man watched happily, squinting his eyes while shaking his fan, and murmured about the good things about the world.
As the oxcart drove farther and farther, Hidden Wind vaguely saw the official who was about to become the captain take something out of his arms and leave quietly without disturbing the sleeping old man.
Recalling what people said about the world every time they came back from the village, the senior brother looked at the master's portrait and murmured, repeating Butcher Zhang's words.
"Zisu's world has been really good these past two or three years."
After saying this, he was stunned, Yinfeng smiled, and gradually began to look forward to the Saint Academy where he was going to enroll.
The oxcart was rickety and slow, but it also arrived at the city gate at dusk.
Pedestrians were divided into two rows on the right and were inspected by officials one by one. Motorcades entered through the smaller side door to the right of the main entrance, which was also inspected by officials.
The old village chief handed over the document, and the officials looked at the goods on each cart, looked at everyone carefully, looked at the head of a white eagle that was obviously a monster, and bowed respectfully to Coach Li who was holding a gun. Hand over.
He was warned not to use weapons in the city, and to seek help from the government patrol team as soon as possible if there was a conflict. Then the people from Baiwen Village were allowed to enter the city.
Cheng Yun was in the car behind, looking at the blue-grey city wall, with flashes of light from time to time. The city towers were majestic, and the towers were scattered in an orderly manner. He used his purple eyes curiously.
The city wall he saw was like a pavilion in the fog, and there was also powerful spiritual power flowing in the tower. Afraid of upsetting these people, Cheng Luck stopped turning his purple eyes and followed the team honestly into the side door.
After walking through the nearly twenty-foot-long corridor, a corner of the imperial city appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone in Baiwen Village enters through the west gate, and most of them are traders and pawns, so there are mostly cheap but practical inns leading from the gate to the city.
Li Jiaotang led everyone to a house he often visited, arranged the iron ox pulling the cart, and sent two people to take care of the goods, preparing to have a good rest before going to sell the village's goods tomorrow morning.
But Cheng Yun couldn't stand being worried about his goods, so he had to load two trucks of goods to be sold to the Chamber of Commerce, plus Cheng Yun's truck of prey, and went to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Mr. Lin couldn't let go when he saw Cheng Yun pulling Yin Feng happily, so he planned to drop by to see his old friend.
The street is wide and divided into paths for pedestrians and vehicles. It is not a problem to go back and forth from both sides. Cheng Yun sighed, no matter what, he planned to go back and let the village chief learn from him.
After walking two streets, there were fewer and fewer inns. Vendors collecting goods from various walks of life and stalls with signs of the Chamber of Commerce were neatly placed on both sides of the road, shouting and shouting constantly.
"Everyone, stay here! Everyone, stay here!" A dark-faced man with difficulty walking moved next to Mr. Lin and glanced at the monster material.
"Everyone is from a village in the mountains, right? At first glance, this Han Feather Eagle is still a monster! You guys are so skilled, how about it, plus the monster pill, four golds! This is the best price here, front Those chambers of commerce only charge three gold!"
Mr. Lin didn't say anything. Coach Li hooked the black-faced man's shoulder, "Last time I came to Minshang at the beginning of the month to bring demon pills and I was charged seven gold. Today, it's three gold? Fortunately, I warned you early, otherwise this profiteer would have made money." Take our hard-earned money!"
The black-faced man wanted to break free but found that he couldn't use the strength. He took out four gold coins from his arms and forced a smile, "Who says it's not true? I think senior is also a man of temper. I lost half the gold and I want the four gold!" "
Coach Li patted the man hard and said, "We are indeed gentlemen. Let's go! Brother, please lead the way. Let's go to the civil servants and ask them carefully. How come the gold price on the seventh day of the first month has dropped by four gold in less than half a month? Today? We are under the rule of Emperor Su Wen, so how could such a thing be done to plunder the people's wealth? We asked the civil merchant to buy it with seven gold, and then I will transfer it to my brother for one gold, all as a thank you to my brother for his kind reminder!"
The man's face turned from black to green, and he suddenly slipped out from under Coach Li's arm. He crouched and clasped his fists, smiling, "Don't you dare, senior, just go ahead. If the deal is not done, we still have a good relationship. If you look familiar today, you can do it next time." Be sure to patronize the small ones, the small ones are absolutely affordable!”
Coach Li clasped his fists and laughed loudly, "It's easy to talk about!"
Cheng Yun took a rough look and was about to turn around to give Yin Feng Ping some comments.
"It's a shame that Coach Li comes every time. Even if most people find out, it's hard to get away. However, you have to have good cultivation, otherwise it will be difficult."
Cheng Yun was about to say that he had learned how to negotiate with others from three gold to four gold and still buy it. Hearing his brother's words, he suddenly understood and nodded and praised his brother for being smart.
