Chapter 171 Apprentice
"rogue?"
"Are you ready?"
Zhao Yuan looked at the little beggar in front of him for some reason, and then his heart sank slightly. He realized the breath of some people, but these people seemed to be weak.
Seeing Zhao Yuan a little confused, the little beggar smiled, blew up a few times, and said, "Come out!"
While speaking, several burly men stood out from the bushes on the side of the road, and then blocked the way forward and retreat respectively. One of them laughed and said, "Is this the fat sheep you brought? Why are they also beggars?"
The little beggar said proudly: "Don't think he is also a beggar, he is very generous in his actions. He used to make a full 2 taels of silver at the inn before!"
"oh?"
This man looked at Zhao Yuan with some confusion.
The little beggar said, "I'll agree first, you promised me, and you won't bother others again from now on!"
The man laughed and said, "Of course, as long as he has enough money."
As he said that, with a wave of his hand, the rest of the people surrounded him.
Zhao Yuan then understood and said to the little beggar: "I will pay you for food, but you asked someone to rob me. Are you repaid some kindness?"
The little beggar's face turned red and he said, "Of course not, but I was not forced to do so."
Zhao Yuan said: "It's okay to forget it if you have no choice. Do you think they will abide by your agreement?"
The little beggar said in a little puzzled manner: "This..."
Zhao Yuan sighed and said, "These people don't know what it means to keep the agreement. They are not businessmen at all, right!"
Zhao Yuan looked up at the big men in front of him.
The man smiled and said, "That's what happened in the future!"
Zhao Yuan turned his head and said, "Look, I'm right. You are all too naive. Do you know what the best way to keep these people uphold the agreement?"
The little beggar said in a little puzzled manner: "I don't know!"
Zhao Yuan said: "Just beat them hard and let them know that they are the weak, and then they will be honest and obedient! This is the world, this is the principle!"
"Begging for food, are you looking for death!"
The man shouted, he was very angry at this moment because the person in front of him actually ignored them as if they did not exist.
As he said that, he punched Zhao Yuan.
This punch came directly at Zhao Yuan's head. Since it was a robbery, of course, you have to subdue others.
However, the fist stopped one foot away from Zhao Yuan. It was not because the man did not swing his fist, but because Zhao Yuan stretched out a hand and easily took it off, and then asked, "That's all the ability?"
The big man looked at Zhao Yuan in front of him with some incredible surprise, gritted his teeth and tried to push his fist forward, but then he did not move at all.
Zhao Yuan pinched it slightly hard, and the big man suddenly felt that his hand bone was tightly clamped by an iron hoop, getting tighter and tighter, and then it hurts more and more, and the entire bone seemed to be about to be crushed.
"It hurts... it hurts..."
The man hurriedly called out, and there was a look of pain on his face, and then he couldn't help but kneel down. After a moment, the severe pain made his face full of sweat.
"Will you keep your promise with him?"
Zhao Yuan asked coldly, and the momentum on his body was deliberately leaked. In an instant, the man felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body trembled. As for the others, he didn't dare to approach him when he saw this.
“Will…yes…!”
The big man hurriedly said, "At this time, he dares to say no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Zhao Yuan said: "Really do it? If you dare to disobey, I will take the head of your neck!"
The man hurriedly said, "Yes, sure! Heroes, hello, hello!"
Zhao Yuan then let go of his hand and shouted coldly: "Get out!"
The man immediately felt like a death row prisoner was pardoned. He dared to stay here for a while, and hurriedly ran away with all his might.
Seeing the big men and the others crawling, Zhao Yuan turned his head and looked at the little beggar and said, "See you, you should negotiate the terms with the hooligans like this. Do you really think they can be trustworthy? Are you stupid or have you been kicked by a donkey in the head?"
The little beggar looked at Zhao Yuan with a daze at this moment, and then came to his senses and said in surprise: "You... are you so good at kung fu?"
Zhao Yuan said: "I said I have poor kung fu? Get out, little kid, I don't have the same knowledge as you!"
However, the little beggar did not leave, but knelt on the ground, waved to Zhao Yuan, and said, "Master is here, please accept a prayer from your disciple."
Zhao Yuan was stunned and hurriedly said, "I am not your master! Let's leave you here!"
I have important things to do, and where can I get my disciples?
The little beggar still knelt on the ground and said, "You are my master, please teach me martial arts."
Zhao Yuan said: "You don't know who I am, so I just take my teacher. If I sell you, wouldn't you still have to count the money for me? Are your parents not in a hurry?"
The little beggar's face suddenly dimmed and he said, "I... have no father or mother, and I don't know who my parents are."
"So that's it!"
Zhao Yuan suddenly realized, thought for a while, took out an inch of nearly twenty taels of silver from his bag, handed it over, and said, "With these silver, I am now crossing the river with the clay Buddha. I can't protect myself, let alone have important things to do!"
The little beggar quickly kowtowed and said, "I don't want money, I just want you to accept my apprentice!"
However, this time he did not get Zhao Yuan's reply. He looked up and found that the person was no longer in the future, and there was an injected silver on the ground in front of him.
The little beggar looked at Yinzi blankly, looking at the open space where Zhao Yuan had just stood, tears in his eyes couldn't help but turn. After a while, he picked up the silver and put it in his arms. Then he walked to the stream beside the road, picked up the water from the stream, washed his face, and after a while, the dirt on his face disappeared. Then he took out a rope and tied his hair. Suddenly, the little beggar, who was so sloppy that he could hardly see his appearance, suddenly turned into a little girl. Although he was only eleven or twelve years old, he had a good appearance, and was vaguely a beauty.
However, the little beauty in front of her looked dull, and she looked a little pitiful and pitiful.
"Hey...hey...hey...I didn't expect that the little beggar who usually runs errands to us is actually a little beauty! Our brothers actually took a look!"
The voice of the man just now suddenly came from behind.
The little beggar's face suddenly changed. He quickly took out the twenty taels of silver just now and said, "I'll respect you all the silver given by that person just now!"
The man had a grim smile on his face and said, "Twenty taels? How could I like Twenty taels?"
Another person also said at this moment: "I didn't expect that he was still a beauty. If he was sent to the brothel in the city, his appearance would cost at least a few hundred taels of silver!"
Another person also responded: "Brother, why don't we enjoy it first?"
"I enjoy it, how can I sell it at a good price if it is a broken melon!"
The big man cursed and winked at the few people. Everyone immediately understood and surrounded the little beggar.
The little beggar couldn't help but get anxious. He originally thought that the reason why the man was unwilling to accept him as his disciple was because he was a little beggar. Unexpectedly, after he washed his face, he was seen by those people. How could he escape from them with his own abilities?
"It seems that I really deserve to kill you!"
At this moment, a bit cold and harsh sound came, and the sound was not filled with emotion, as if it was from hell.
The faces of these big men suddenly changed, but the faces of the little beggar couldn't help but feel happy.
At some point, Zhao Yuan had already stood in his original place, looking at the big men with a cold face.
The big man's face suddenly became very ugly, and then he looked at each other, and he dared not stay for a while. He turned around and ran away, for fear that he would lose his money if he ran slowly!
Zhao Yuan couldn't help but sigh and said, "Follow me!"
After giving the money to him just now, Zhao Yuan seemed to rushed to the Tang Sect immediately. He didn't have the time to meddle in other people's business, and his master was still waiting for the antidote.
However, before going far, Zhao Yuan suddenly felt a little worried. The little beggar was originally doing things for those big men, and those big men did not get the benefits they wanted. Wouldn't they make things difficult for the little beggar? So they hurried back to see the situation. But they found out that the little beggar was surrounded by the big men just now, and after he washed his face, he was still a girl. In this case, Zhao Yuan could not throw her here at all. He had to take her with him first and go to the Tang Sect to get the medicine first.
“Yes, Master!”
The little beggar's face was flushed with excitement.
Zhao Yuan frowned and said, "I am not your master, let's go!"
Even though Zhao Yuan said that, the little beggar nodded fiercely and followed Zhao Yuan. However, Zhao Yuan's footwork was so fast. The little beggar did not have any skills. Even if he was not satisfied, he gradually couldn't keep up with Zhao Yuan's pace after walking for a while, and he was a little panting.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuan stretched out his hand and stopped her waist, saying, "Be careful!"
Then he ran straight forward like a sharp arrow. Now Zhao Yuan had a long internal force, and the little beggar was not heavy. He didn't need much strength to hold her. After rushing for dozens of miles in one breath, the sky had already darkened. Then he found a place to shelter, found some dry firewood and other things to ignite the fire. The two of them continued to rest in the fire. The only difference was that Zhao Yuan was sitting at the moment and secretly ran an attack to help restore his internal force. As for the little beggar, he lay directly beside the fire and threw some hay under the fire.
Her name Zhao Yuan also asked, "Liang'er, it's not Lianhua's Lian, but poor Lian. She was taken in by a lonely widow in the town for a while. Although her life was light, she had at least a shelter. However, the good times did not last long. When the old woman died when she was eight years old, she became helpless again, and then leaned on the town to make a living. As for why she dressed herself up like a beggar, this was the last words of the old woman when she died, and told her that if she didn't find a kind-hearted person to adopt, she would dress herself up a little sloppy so that she could protect herself.
The old man's words are right. Lian'er, at the age of eight, has already become a beauty. If she is seen by those with ulterior motives, she will inevitably not have any bad intentions. She can only dress up as a beggar and cover up her appearance, so that she will be safer.
But after all, it is not safe to bring her around. After obtaining the antidote and detoxifying the Eagle King, she may be sent to where Liu Zhiqing in Lushan, or she may be able to adopt her, at least she is better than following her.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan also firmly decided on his plan.
The next day, after rushing to the road, Zhao Yuan and the others finally arrived at the town below Tangjiabao, which was called Tangjiaji. There were nearly a thousand families of all sizes, and it was considered a relatively large town.
Most of the residents here are surnamed Tang. In fact, many disciples in the Tang Sect choose from the residents of Tang Jiaji. They have to be selected when they are five years old. Then some children with good qualifications will be sent to Tangjiabao for training. After passing the assessment at the age of twelve, they will become formal disciples of the Tang Sect. Once they become formal disciples, they can not only learn the martial arts of the Tang Sect, but also have monthly money every month? Just like a formal job. In addition, there are large areas of fertile fields and forests around Tangjiaji, which belong to Tangjiabao. Anyone who has a son or something like a disciple in Tangjiabao will be exempted from nearly half of the rent. If they rent a Tangjia store, they will also receive rent reduction and exemption. Therefore, many people are willing to send their sons to Tangjiabao. In a certain aspect, the source of the power of Tangjiabao is Tangjiaji, and both sides are dependent.
Perhaps because Tangjiabao was originally a wealthy family with a long history, the people in Tangjiaji were not xenophobic and enthusiastic about foreign guests. When they saw Zhao Yuan and Lian'er coming to stay in the store like beggars, the shopkeeper did not show disgust, but instead asked someone to prepare hot water to bathe the two of them.
Zhao Yuan also gave enough money and asked the shopkeeper to buy a few sets of clothes. It would be a bit rude to go to the Tang Sect in this way.
However, since Tangjiaji, which is the basis of Tangjiabao, is also an important source of information collected by Tangjiabao, anyone who arrives at Tangjiaji will be sent to Tangjiabao as quickly as possible.
Zhao Yuan is very famous in the world. How could Tangjiabao not pay attention to such a person? Therefore, as soon as he arrived at Tangjiabao, the information was immediately sent to Tangmen.
"Why did the people from the Liu family come to my Tangjiabao? And they look like they are beggars!"
Tang Mingyu looked at the information in his hand in confusion, and he was somewhat puzzled by this. If he came to visit as the Liu family, how could he pretend to be a beggar? But if he was not the Liu family, why did he come?
Tang Mingyu was very puzzled about this.
