As the carriage drove into the street, passersby glanced sideways, whispered, and pointed. The night before yesterday, he and his Zhao family were in front of the Liu family's mansion. They were so beautiful that they became a topic of conversation after dinner.
"I heard that he did not drive away Liu Ruxin."
"After all, I married him. A blind man is matched with a loser! It's a match made in heaven."
"Look at this attitude, he should be expelled from the family."
There was a lot of discussion, ridicule and ridicule, but regret and sighs were inevitable.
Zhao Yun ignored him and drove past. He was ridiculed and ridiculed. He had become accustomed to it over the years.
No wonder.
In the past, he was the young master of the Zhao family, a genuine martial arts genius. Every person he saw was nodding and bowing, and flattery was inevitable. How glorious. After the severing of the bloodline, the world's true nature was undoubtedly revealed. They were all the same humble towards him.
Many of them asked for it back, and they even got worse.
The so-called world is in a hot and cold state, which can be seen from this.
The humble three years, for him, were also three years of mental training.
Amid the discussion, he gradually moved away.
I don't know when the carriage stopped. When I looked up, I saw a shop in front of it. It was the Zhao family's military shop that I was about to come to. The facade was quite grand. There were stone lions squatting on the left and right, which looked very intimidating.
"Master."
Just as I got off the bus, I saw two young men walking out, one Yang Da and the other Wu Er.
"The master of the house has given instructions, young master please."
There was also an old man who came out together, who was very kind and approachable.
Zhao Yun recognized this old man and called him Lao Suntouer. He was a member of the Zhao family with a foreign surname. He heard that he was a beggar picked up by his grandfather when he went out. He joined the Zhao family and was grateful to the old owner of the family all his life.
"Things are not expensive, only what you have in mind is worth it."
Zhao Yun smiled and distributed the three wooden boxes he brought to the three of them.
This is a meeting gift. After all, we will work together in the future. Even if we have foreign surnames, we still need to have a good relationship. All the children of the family who are sent abroad will basically take care of some things, and they still need to be worldly.
"Thank you, Master."
"Just call me Zhao Yun."
Zhao Yun smiled and then stepped into the military store.
Many people on the street stopped when they saw him, as if they all knew the meaning of Zhao Yun's coming here. He was obviously assigned by the family. If Zhao Yuan hadn't been the head of the family, and if he didn't have selfish motives, he would have been assigned to a more remote place.
Zhao Yun is already sitting at the counter.
Boss Lao Sun brought over the accounts. This is a necessary process for any family member who comes. It is necessary to check the accounts. How many weapons were sold and how many supplies were purchased, each transaction must be recorded clearly.
Since it is just a formality, what needs to go must still go.
Zhao Yun saw things clearly and clearly, because he was once a young master, and his father raised him as the head of the family. He had to learn everything, and this accounting was also a required course for him.
"Take it!"
Not long after, he closed the accounts, and apart from not making money, there was no other problem.
He was not the only one selling weapons in Forgotten City.
There is competition. Whose quality is better and whose products are cheaper will naturally go to that company.
After checking the accounts, this guy was completely bored.
Sitting at the counter, holding his face with his hands, he looked around. The arsenal was not small. It had eighteen kinds of weapons. The quality was high! All the weapons that were considered to be mid-range and top-notch were all in the Liu family arsenal.
Just because his family has a powerful weapon refiner.
Weapon Refiner is a popular profession, and you are always a guest wherever you go.
Alchemists similar to them are even more popular.
However, there are really very few people like this. Because the conditions are too harsh, they are basically from the same lineage.
He looked away from the military store and looked towards the street.
Opposite is a casino, with the word "gambling" hanging on it, which is quite eye-catching. There are many people coming and going. Across the street, you can still hear the screams inside. Whoever loses money will feel uncomfortable.
Next to the casino is a pawn shop.
That's right, it's a pawn shop, and the word "dang" hanging high is also quite eye-catching.
Casinos and pawn shops are adjacent, which is also very particular.
People who have lost money want to find money to recoup their losses. Pawn shops are a good place to go. Jewelry, house deeds, antiques, whatever the pawn shop collects can be pledged in exchange for money. In this way, you can go to the casino to gamble a few times.
To put it bluntly, pawn shops and casinos are a win-win business.
One earns gambling money and the other earns commissions. This is a tacit understanding that has existed since ancient times.
And that pawn shop is also the property of his Zhao family.
In addition, there is a restaurant in the east of the city, a medicinal shop in the west of the city, an antique shop in the south of the city, and an old teahouse in the north of the city. Even the Zhao family is involved in the underground black market.
It can be said that every industry and major family has more or less financial resources to invest in it.
As a young master, he has long known these things and needs to learn them.
The business of the arms shop doesn't seem to be very good. People come in in twos and threes and go out in twos and threes. Individuals come in. It's good if one of them buys weapons. Most of them are just wandering around. When they enter the arms shop, they look at Zhao Yun more often than at the weapons.
There are a lot of them, and their eyes are not quite normal.
It seems that they are not here to buy weapons, but to see the monkeys.
"Have you heard that Liu Ruyue's master gave her a secret book on earth levels?"
"How could I not know that the news has spread throughout the entire Forgotten City."
"The earth level! I have never even seen the secret book of the Huang level. The result from Tianzong's visit is a big deal."
There was constant chatter in the military store.
There were only twos and threes of guests, and they really weren’t here to buy weapons. Since they came in, they hadn’t stopped talking and were chatting quite happily. Moreover, when they were talking, they would even look at Zhao Yun, which was very meaningful.
That’s what it means! That’s what it means.
Zhao Yun calmed down, holding his face with his hands, swaying his eyes from side to side, looking at this and that.
That look in his eyes seemed to be looking at someone funny.
You are so free in broad daylight, come here to chat, do you like to disgust me so much?
As for Liu Ruyue, he just smiled.
Tianzong is so awesome? The Secret Code of Earth Level is terrible? Is there a god in my consciousness?
Just wait! No one can escape.
He didn't respond, but some people kept talking nonstop.
Mr. Sun couldn't stand it anymore, but he couldn't say anything.
When you open the door to do business, the so-called customers are all your bosses, so you can't offend them.
It took a full hour before Zhao Yun got up.
You're the new shopkeeper! It's your first time at the military store, so you still have to show off.
After going through the cutscenes, you have to find something to do.
"Master, go and have a rest!"
Old Boss Sun smiled. He was really a kind grandfather. At least he didn't show any disdain for Young Master Zhao Yun's removal. The head of the family had already told him that it was good to live up to his reputation and there was no need to be too serious.
"Easy to say."
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "You're welcome." Compared with being the shopkeeper, cultivation is the most important thing.
"There's a baby."
The Moon God, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.
baby?
Zhao Yun raised his foot and took it back again, his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Street, that fat man." Luna spoke slowly.
Zhao Yun looked around.
The street is bustling with people, what a fat man! There is one, with his bare breasts and big belly, he looks like a Maitreya Buddha. He has just come out of the casino. He must have lost a lot, his face is red and his neck is thick, and he is cursing.
Everyone is angry when they look at him. He is only 1.5 meters tall, but suddenly he has the momentum of 3.8 meters.
Will there be treasures in that case?
Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows, walked out of the military store, passed through the crowd, and stood in front of the fat man.
"Are you blind?"
The fat man scolded him every time he opened his mouth. He lost everything in the casino and was worried about finding someone to vent his anger on.
"It should be this little gourd."
Zhao Yun glanced up and down, and his eyes fell on the fat man's waist. Hanging on the fat man's waist was a small purple-gold gourd, as big as an adult's hand. There was an incomprehensible pattern carved around the gourd.
Apart from his clothes, the only thing left on the fat man's body was this little gourd.
"The young master of the Zhao family?"
The fat man touched his chin. He had just walked too fast, and now he saw clearly that Zhao Yun was a celebrity. He was also one of the spectators that night. Zhao Yun and the Zhao family were already the biggest laughing stock in Forgotten City.
"Brother, you can't sell this."
Zhao Yun smiled and pointed at the purple gold gourd.
"This is my family heirloom."
The fat man rolled his eyes, he was a monkey spirit. If someone wanted to buy it, he would have to have a big name.
“The price is negotiable.”
"Twelve."
"How about I give you a knife and you go and grab it!"
Zhao Yun pouted.
When I was the young master of the Zhao family, my monthly salary was only three taels of silver.
Don't underestimate three taels of silver. It is a small sum for a rich man, but it can last for an ordinary family for a long time.
This guy is really good, the lion is opening his mouth!
"Three liang." Zhao Yun said, holding up three fingers.
"I can't bargain like you." The fat man curled his lips, hugged the little gourd tightly, and started chirping, "This is a family heirloom. Besides, the dignified young master of the Zhao family, do you still care about this little money?"
"Just three liang, no more."
"No! Let's add some." The fat man grinned.
"Forget it if I don't sell it."
Zhao Yun left a message, turned around and left. He just lost everything. If I don't believe it, you won't sell it.
"Definitely."
The fat man grabbed Zhao Yun and gave him the small gourd, mainly because he was eager to get money to go to the casino to make money.
"Win more."
Zhao Yun was also happy and handed over three pieces of broken silver.
"Okay!"
The fat man took the money and turned around and went straight to the casino. With the money, his legs and feet became lighter.
"Is this going to be a baby?"
Zhao Yun walked back to the military shop, holding the small gourd in his hand, turning it over and over. Except for the incomprehensible lines on it, it seemed to be no different from an ordinary small gourd. It cost him three taels of silver.
"No mountain of gold can be as precious as this."
Moon God said leisurely.
"Real or false." Zhao Yun was surprised and subconsciously held the little gourd in his arms.
"How can such treasures be measured by money?"
"What is it capable of?"
"Keep it for now, and I'll teach you how to use it later." Moon God said.
"Then you have to keep it, you have to keep it."
Zhao Yun held it tightly, it was more precious than a mountain of gold. Is it a divine weapon?
However, the Dharma Eye that can penetrate the mind is certainly not simple.
"Fuck."
Before entering the military store, he heard a loud curse. Looking back, he saw that it was the fat man who had just come out, cursing again. It seemed that he had lost all the three taels of silver he had earned from selling the small gourd.
Gambling is harmful!
Zhao Yun sighed in his heart. Within a short while, he lost three taels of silver.
