Buying a House

Li Muchan took the banknotes and found a large pile of them, including one hundred taels each and one thousand taels each. Li Muchan counted them and found a total of thirty thousand taels of silver, which was a huge amount of money.

Li Muchan thanked Li Sima and handed him a thousand taels. Li Sima was startled, his smile disappeared, and he waved his hands hastily: "You can't do it, you can't do it, you're scaring me!"

Li Muchan smiled and said: "Sima, thank you for your hard work. It's just a trivial matter but not a sign of respect!"

Li Sima suddenly lowered his face and scolded: "Mingkong, what are you doing!... I am the Sima of the army and am in charge of military law. How can I accept this money?"

Li Muchan smiled and said: "Sima Mo, don't worry, my money is easy to come by, and I don't feel bad about spending it. Instead of squandering it like water, it's better to give some to those close to you."

"Nonsense!" Li Sima snorted coldly: "You have risked your life to do this, how can you squander it at will... go to Tianlong City to buy a few houses, and you will be able to receive stable money after you retire!"

"Yes, thank you Sima!" Li Muchan chuckled, with a playful smile on his face.

Li Sima shook his head: "You, a monk, are really free and easy...Okay, I'm leaving!"

Li Muchan sent him away with a slight smile.

The early morning sun shines on the martial arts training ground. Horses are like dragons and people are like tigers. Horses are galloping, and knights on the horses are roaring and shouting. It is very lively.

Li Muchan took a few glances and felt that it was full of life.

Although the move just now seemed abrupt, it was not without its merits. At least, the relationship with Li Sima was much closer. Whether he accepted it or not was one thing. Whether he gave it to him or not was another matter. It doesn't matter if he gave it to many people.

Li Sima is really rare. No wonder everyone is so afraid of him. He looks smiling and amiable, but deep down he is honest and selfless.

He is possessed by a majestic and righteous spirit, which is naturally intimidating.

Zhao Shengli rode over and tightened the reins. The black horse stopped motionless. He sat on the horse and laughed: "Haha, monk, what are you doing here, Li Sima?"

Li Muchan smiled and said: "Come and give me some money...how about we go to Tianlong City?"

"Okay!" Zhao Shengli was overjoyed and said with a smile: "I have a day off today. Let's go to Changping Tower together. Monk, you have to treat us!"

Li Muchan readily agreed, and Zhao Shengli turned around and rode away to greet the remaining people.

After breakfast, the eight of them set off, seven of them riding black horses, which were very impressive. They looked at the envious eyes of passers-by on the road, and they all held their heads high and proud.

Li Muchan still rides Red Shadow. Although Red Shadow is not as good as the seven black horses in terms of appearance, it is shorter and thinner, but it is fast, and with the flow of internal energy, it can run with ease and is worse than them.

After that day, Li Muchan created a set of mental techniques in his free time, specially created for Red Shadow, suitable for its cultivation. Although he felt that he was fooling around, he was very excited.

Red Shadow is extremely smart. After Li Muchan helped it run it a few times, it remembered it and kept running its internal power. Now it has a certain foundation.

Although not as good as martial arts masters, it is more than enough to dispel fatigue and speed up.

Their horses were so fast that they arrived at Tianlong City at noon, which was lunch time.

The eight people led the horses into the city. Looking at the crowds of people passing by, Xiong Sihai said: "At this time, I'm afraid there will be no room in Changping Tower!"

"Go and have a look!" Zhao Shengli chuckled and said, "Brother Sihai, you have such a big face, how dare you not make room for you if I tell you?"

Xiong Sihai smiled bitterly: "Zhao Tou, you are too flattering to your brothers. Changping Tower is full of confidence, and no one's face is of any use. Not to mention me, even the governor would not dare to act arrogant in Changping Tower!"

"It's not that evil, brothers from all over the world, don't be humble!" Zhao Shengli waved his hand.

Xiong Sihai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You are a puppy who is telling lies!"

"Monk, what do you think we should do?" Zhao Shengli turned to look at Li Muchan.

Li Muchan smiled and said: "Let's go and have a look before we talk. If there is no place, go somewhere else."

"That's so embarrassing!" Zhao Shengli shook his head.

Li Muchan smiled: "Then I'll go to the front station first!"

"It couldn't be better!...Li Zi, go ahead!" Zhao Shengli clapped his hands and turned to Li Baolu.

"Okay!" Li Baolu agreed enthusiastically.

He was very enthusiastic about running errands and would answer every call. Over time, he developed a pair of fast legs. According to Zhao Shengli, Li Baolu could run as fast as a horse.

Li Muchan smiled and said: "Li Zi, if there is a place, you don't have to come back. If there is no place, just come back."

"Okay!" Li Baolu jumped on his horse, straddling the divine black horse, and slowly passed through the crowd, gradually going away. His figure was filled with pride, because the crowd cast envious glances from time to time.

Li Muchan and the others smiled, led their horses and walked slowly towards Changping Tower.

Changping Tower was not far from the South City Gate, and Li Baolu was nowhere to be seen. They knew that there was still room in Changping Tower, so they were not in a hurry and walked slowly, looking around while walking.

There were snack sellers and knick-knack sellers selling all kinds of things. Everyone was dazzled by the sight. Zhao Shengli smiled and said: "Monk, you are rich now, buy whatever you like!"

Li Muchan smiled and said, "I want to buy a house in the city so that we can have a place to stay during our free time."

Xiong Sihai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Buy a house, that's great——!"

Li Muchan smiled and said, "Do you know where I can buy it?"

"Great monk, what a coincidence!" Xiong Sihai nodded and said hurriedly: "There is a house for sale in Qingshui Fang. It is said to be very good, but it is a bit expensive!"

"How much silver?" Li Muchan asked.

"At least ten thousand taels!" Xiong Sihai said.

"Tsk..." Everyone gasped, and Xiaohe shook his head: "Good boy, ten thousand taels!"

Li Muchan pondered for a moment: "Well... let's go take a look after dinner."

"Good boy, great monk, you are rich!" Xiaohe's little eyes widened and he stared at Li Muchan: "Ten thousand taels! I will never make ten thousand taels in my life!"

Li Muchan smiled and said: "It's just a windfall. Without this windfall, I would never have made so much in my life."

Ten thousand taels of silver is an unattainable figure in the eyes of ordinary people. Even if their military pay is generous, ten thousand taels of silver is still out of reach.

"Monk, how much money did you get?" Zhao Shengli was itchy and asked even though he knew he shouldn't ask.

Li Muchan smiled: "Thirty thousand taels!"

"Good boy!" Xiaohe's eyes widened in shock, and everyone else was also stunned.

"Oh..., thirty thousand taels..." Zhao Shengli sighed longly, his eyes shining: "Thirty thousand taels, how many elbows can you eat——!"

He likes the dish of crystal elbow, but the elbow is extremely expensive and he can't afford it. He can only think about it occasionally and recall the feeling of eating it at that time.

Li Muchan smiled and said: "I'm going to buy two houses, one on the street to run a small store,... I'm going to buy one on the street to be our place to stay."

"That's a good idea!" Everyone nodded.

Li Muchan smiled and said: "It is estimated that we will use 20,000 taels, and we will do business with the remaining 10,000 taels. Each person will count as one thousand taels, and the money earned will be divided according to this share... Although you will not be rich and powerful, you will have no problem with food and clothing."

!”

"Haha, monk, you are thoughtful!" Zhao Shengli laughed and nodded: "This way, we will have nothing to worry about!"

"Monk, isn't this bad..." Cai Yuzhang hesitated.

Zhao Shengli smiled and said: "Xiao Cai, don't be aloof. We need the monk's love!"

Cai Yuzhang smiled helplessly: "Getting something for nothing is really..."

Li Muchan smiled and said: "Money is an external thing, and we have a good fate. This little windfall can make everyone happy, which is a great merit!"

Everyone was chatting and laughing when they came to the Changping Building. Several waiters ran out from the building, took their horses away, and welcomed them in enthusiastically.

There was an acquaintance who was the waiter who received them.

When he saw a few people, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly ran over, bowed and saluted, and said enthusiastically: "Military lords, please come in quickly—!"

"Is Thirteenth Mother still there?" Xiong Sihai asked.

The waiter looked embarrassed: "Master Xiong, Thirteenth Niang has finished singing today."

"Are you leaving?" Xiong Sihai asked.

The waiter said: "I'll take a look, I can only see what Thirteenth Mother means. If she doesn't come, don't blame Mr. Xiong!"

Xiong Sihai glared and threw out a piece of silver: "Stop talking nonsense!... Go and say that we are here, and ask Thirteenth Niang to come over and talk, even if you don't sing a song."

"Okay, let's go!" The waiter turned around and ran away.

"Tou Zhao, monk, it's over here!" As soon as they reached the second floor, Li Baolu's head appeared from a private room, waving his hands vigorously and shouting.

Several people entered the house. What a coincidence, it was the house they came to in the first place.

Li Muchan took a look. The doors, windows, furniture, tables, chairs, and beds had all been replaced with new ones. They were brand new and shiny. Li Muchan stepped forward to look at the wall. It had been blocked and repainted.

Everyone sat down and Zhao Shengli smiled and said: "Li Zi, you are so blind, why are you here again!"

Li Baolu said aggrievedly: "Zhao Tou, this is the only one left. I managed to get it. If I was a little late, someone else would take it away!"

"You..." Zhao Shengli shook his head.

Xiong Sihai laughed and shook his head: "Don't worry, Zhao Tou, it's not that evil!"

"You have to believe in luck!" Zhao Shengli shook his head with a solemn expression: "This room is at odds with us. If you enter this room, nothing good will happen!"

"Look at this, it's so unlucky!" Xiong Sihai said with a smile.

Zhao Shengli hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth: "Bah, bah, childish words are unbridled!"

Everyone laughed, and Feng Dakun said: "Zhao Tou, you are the boy's father!"

Talking and laughing, in the midst of the excitement, there was a knock on the door, and two people came in. The one in front was graceful and graceful, as curling as a willow branch, and she was the Thirteenth Niang.
