Rivers and lakes are sinister
Initially, Yang Teng had no clear plan to leave Fenglei Town. He just wanted to leave the family. He was dissatisfied with Yang Jing's hiring of a black-clad golden sword to assassinate him, and he did not want to stay in the family any longer.
I walked around casually, visiting all the places I wanted to go but had never been to in that life. The final itinerary was to visit a strong man.
A strong man who had a great influence on him in his past and present lives. It can be said that without that strong man, there would be no Mad God Yang Teng in that life, let alone Yang Teng now.
But now the itinerary has to be changed. Due to the old man's request, Yang Teng wants to send the wild beast inner elixir of the wind and thunder fan and the incomplete map to the Yang family in Yucheng, so Yang Teng decided to go to Jade City first to fulfill the old man's wish, and then go back to Yucheng.
Go do your own thing.
Coming out of Fenglei Town, Jade City is in the southeast of Fenglei Town, and the imperial capital is in the northeast of Fenglei Town.
It takes three months to walk from Fenglei Town to the imperial capital, and it is even further away to get to Jade City. It will take half a year without any delay on the way. In fact, for such a long journey, you will definitely encounter some things on the way. If you delay a little, it will take eight months.
It can take nine months or even a year to arrive.
"Xin'er, we are going on a long trip this time, so don't complain about being tired." Yang Teng reminded Yang Xin that going out for a trial may not be as interesting as imagined.
"Hmph! What's the big deal? I'm determined to follow you anyway." Yang Xin curled her lips and didn't care. Ever since she learned her identity, as long as she could be with Yang Teng, Yang Xin would have endless fun no matter how hard or tired she was.
A thousand miles away from Fenglei Town, there is a small town. The town is extremely small and cannot be considered a real town. It is just a distribution center.
This distribution center connects all parts of the Izumo Empire, and here leads to the Fenglei Mountains.
Coming from Fenglei Town, no matter where you want to go, this distribution center is a must-stop.
Therefore, this distribution center is equivalent to a large trading place, and some people call it a market.
Monks from all over the Izumo Empire who go to the Fenglei Mountains to explore and hunt for treasures will stop at the distribution center to inquire about the latest news on the Fenglei Mountains, and at the same time replenish various items needed to enter the mountains.
Some monks from Fenglei Town also came to trade, exchanging the elixirs and other items obtained from adventures in the Fenglei Mountains for what they needed.
The elixir trade in Fenglei Town is controlled by the four major families and major forces, so the prices are lower, and the prices at the distribution center are relatively more reasonable than in Fenglei Town.
As people come and go, not only can they learn the news from the Fenglei Mountains, but they can also learn about some strange things from various parts of the empire.
It was the first time for Yang Xin to see so many people outside Fenglei Town. She felt that everything she looked at was strange and interesting.
"Third brother, look, there is a beautiful little bird over there." Yang Xin ran over in a gust of wind.
Yang Teng shook his head. This kind of bird is very common in the Fenglei Mountains. It is not a strange beast. The only selling point is that it looks good, and the seller's asking price is not high.
"Chacha!" Xiao Jin, who was lying on Yang Xin's shoulder, chirped disdainfully.
Since leaving the family, Xiao Jin has not been very fond of Yang Teng. This guy seems to only like girls. He is usually not lying on Yang Xin's shoulders or around Yang Xin. Except when he wants to eat the strange blood stone, he will never get close to Yang Teng.
Take half a step.
Yang Xin was probably its second owner, but he couldn't communicate with it like Yan Xiaoyu, and couldn't understand the meaning of Xiao Jin's cries.
Xiao Jin chirped, and the beautiful little bird in the cage opposite suddenly struggled violently, flying around in the cage. No matter how the owner called, the little bird refused to calm down. After a few fuss, it tilted its head.
He actually died!
Huh? Yang Xin looked at the dead bird in the cage in surprise. Is it dead like this?
The seller was a middle-aged man with a roe-headed head and a rat-like eyes. When he saw that the bird in his cage was dead, his face suddenly darkened and he shouted at Yang Xin: "You girl is so rude! Accompany my jade canary!"
Yang Xin was still looking at the bird in the cage, not paying attention to what the man was saying. The bird died miserably, its beautiful feathers were messy, and a few drops of blood flowed from its mouth.
"Talking about you! You scared my Jade Canary to death. If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation of what happened today, I won't let you go!" The middle-aged man with a deer-headed and rat-eyed voice raised his voice.
"Are you talking about me?" Yang Xin noticed the fierce look on the other person's face.
"Who else but you! My jade canary is most afraid of being frightened by strangers. You yelled and rushed over to frighten it! Let me tell you, this is a rare jade canary that is hard to find.
." The other party pushed the cage in front of Yang Xin, "Now that Lingyu Canary has been scared to death by you, how can you compensate me?"
Hard to find a million dollars? Yang Teng thinks this person is exaggerating. Although the jade canary is precious, it is by no means a rare species. It is still easy to catch in the Fenglei Mountains.
Yang Teng said nothing, wanting to see how Yang Xin would solve this matter.
Since you are out for a trial, things like this are also part of the trial, which will be of great help in increasing your knowledge and improving your ability to deal with things.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Yang Xin also felt that the Jade Canary's death was pitiful. If he hadn't collided with it, the Ling Jade Canary would not have died.
Little did she know that the Jade Canary's death was not caused by the shock caused by her collision, but by Xiao Jin's cry.
As a golden-winged Tianpeng of ancient bloodline, as long as Xiao Jin released the pressure in his bloodline, these ordinary birds and beasts would not be able to withstand it. It was the ability to feel the strong pressure and natural restraint that made the Jade Canary terrified.
, actually chose to commit suicide by hitting the cage.
The middle-aged man with the deer-headed eyes sneered, with greed in his eyes. He saw that Yang Xin was just a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, and there was a boy behind her, and then there was an extremely inconspicuous wind and thunder beast, but the two of them were dressed gorgeously.
He must be a rich man. If he doesn't extort a lot of money, he would really miss the opportunity.
"In order to capture this jade canary, I went through a lot of hard work and lost more than a dozen people. Then I fed it with a huge amount of elixir. I spent countless efforts and financial resources on it. I originally wanted to capture it.
The Ling Jade Canary has found a destined person as its master, how could I have imagined that it would be frightened to death by you like this!"
The middle-aged man was extremely sad as he spoke, as if this jade canary was an indispensable part of his life.
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Yang Xin felt even more guilty and said tentatively: "I didn't mean it. But the Ling Jade Canary can't be resurrected after death. Do you think this will work? I'll compensate you with some money."
Seeing that Yang Xin was fooled and was willing to compensate, the middle-aged man was immediately delighted and asked, "Then how much money are you going to give me?"
Yang Xin was in trouble. She didn't know how much this jade canary was worth, so she had to ask: "Then how much money did you originally plan to sell this jade canary for? I will compensate you according to the price.
"
The middle-aged man's eyes darted back and forth. The price he expected was one thousand taels of silver. If someone was really willing to buy the jade canary, the price could be lower.
But now it is definitely no longer one thousand taels of silver.
The middle-aged man said cruelly: "I see that you really like the jade canary, and you don't want to scare it to death on purpose. That's good. I won't blackmail you, so just give me one hundred thousand taels of silver."
It directly increased a hundred times from his expected psychological price!
The dispute here attracted many people to watch. When they heard the middle-aged man’s offer, almost everyone shook their heads. This guy’s heart is too dark!
If someone is willing to pay one hundred thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid he can buy one to two hundred of these jade canaries!
Isn’t this bullying a little girl who doesn’t understand?
But no one said anything. This middle-aged man with a deer-headed rat-like appearance has been hanging around here all year round. He is an out-and-out local snake, and there is no reason to offend him for such a thing.
The crowd watching all felt unworthy of Yang Xin.
Yang Xin blinked and said in embarrassment: "One hundred thousand taels of silver is too much. To be honest, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. I didn't bring so much silver with me when I came out."
Yang Xin's expression was sincere, and she seemed to be guilty.
Yang Teng snickered on the sidelines. Often when Yang Xin showed such an expression, it meant someone was going to be in trouble. He knew Yang Xin's character best.
If you really think that Yang Xin is young and ignorant, you are wrong.
The middle-aged man looked a little displeased and said in a deep voice: "My jade canary can't die in vain. Tell me how much silver you have. Let me see how much is missing. There is really a big difference. Then
Don’t blame me for being rude!”
A scared expression appeared on Yang Xin's face, "Brother, do you have anything to discuss? I only have so much money on me. If you think it's not enough to compensate you, then please go to my house to get it."
Saying that, Yang Xin took out a small silver ingot.
"What!" The middle-aged man became angry when he saw it, "Ten taels of silver! Are you kidding me?"
Yang Xin said aggrievedly: "When I came out, my father gave me ten taels of silver so that I could save some money. Who would have thought that something like this happened before I even spent it."
Yang Teng could hardly hold back his laughter. Yang Xin did have a few small silver ingots on her body, but they were intended to be used for meals. It was inconvenient to carry loose silver. In fact, Yang Xin also carried a huge amount of banknotes with her when she left.
You can redeem money at any bank in Yun Empire.
"Okay! I want to see which family you are from. If I don't give you money today, you won't be able to leave!" With that, the middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Brothers, watch this little kid for me.
Girl, if the adults in her family don’t come with the money before sunset, don’t blame me for selling her to compensate for the loss!”
The crowd of people watching suddenly roared and started talking.
"You're too shameless for Lai Tou San. Isn't he just a jade canary? He's going to sell this pretty little girl!"
"Sooner or later, this black-hearted gangster will get retribution! He has sold so many innocent girls to Yingchun Pavilion. Why hasn't he received retribution?"
"Keep your voice down. Didn't you see that all the lackeys and lackeys from Lai Tou San are here? You don't want to hang around in Fangshi anymore."
Hearing the comments from people around him, Yang Teng frowned. This scoundrel was obviously not a good person, and he actually did things to harm a good family.
But Yang Teng wasn't nervous. The cultivation level of this Lai Tou San was too low and he couldn't do anything to Yang Xin at all.
Yang Xin seemed frightened by Lai Tousan's harsh words, and said in horror: "Brother, please don't be angry. Do you think this is okay? My home is fifty miles away from Fangshi. Please come with me to my home."
If you take the money, my father will definitely give it to you in full."
Fifty miles away from Fangshi?
Lai Tousan thought for a while, and there didn't seem to be any powerful forces fifty miles away from Fang City. He estimated that this little girl was from a wealthy family, and maybe she could really extort a lot of money after she went there.
Even if the other party has some power, he is not afraid of being the first three. At worst, it will only cost one thousand taels of silver.
"Brothers, come with me to get the money." Lai Tou San waved his hand and called out to a few followers, and then said to Yang Xin: "Let's get this out of the way first. If we go to your house to get the money, we have to pay for the errands."
, we can’t go in vain!”
Yang Xin nodded quickly, "Don't worry, my dad will definitely entertain you well."
Yang Xin and Lai Tousan walked in front, with a few followers following behind them.
A few people walked away, and the onlookers sighed.
Chapter completed!
