Not long after, at a breakfast stall at the end of the only main street in Tucheng, Xie Changyuan was sitting on a stool, holding a bowl of wontons in his hands and eating happily.
There was a table full of wontons in front of him. According to his instructions, the stall owner continued to make them, as if the table was not enough for him.
Next to Xie Changyuan sat a red-faced man. He was holding a bowl with a bruised nose and face. While looking at Xie Changyuan angrily, he picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup. The pain on his face made him twitch his cheeks from time to time, and then sucked in his mouth.
A breath of air conditioning.
"You are so brave, you dare to beat up an official in the street." The red-faced man snorted coldly.
Just now, Xie Changyuan suddenly appeared and beat him up without saying a word. The big man was confused at first, thinking that he was going to mess with someone for breakfast, but for no reason he was beaten with a cannon.
With his bad temper, he would attack when he stood up and rolled up his sleeves. With his fourth level of body training, he really didn't have many opponents in this small Yun City. The kid's previous sneak attack was just to take advantage of his unpreparedness.
Just cheap.
But who would have thought that when he really moved his hand, his fist failed to hit Xie Changyuan. Instead, the latter punched him directly in the face. In Xie Changyuan's hands, he, a madman at the fourth level of physical training, actually
Being crushed all the way.
When he lay on the ground and asked Xie Changyuan why he hit him, the latter said, "I want you to treat me to a meal."
The red-faced man almost lost his temper on the spot.
The red-faced man's surname is Zhu, and his full name is Zhu Heng. He is the leader of the Ma Army squad in Yuncheng County. He is both an officer and a cadre. After all, there are not many talents in a small county, so it is normal to wear multiple hats.
After this punch, Zhu Heng was finally convinced by Xie Changyuan. He got up and found a seat. He angrily asked Xie Changyuan for a few bowls of wontons, and then the two of them sat down to have breakfast together.
Xie Changyuan was one-armed and had no hands to hold bowls and chopsticks. In addition, he had been hungry for a long time. Eating wontons was like drinking water. When he raised his neck, he drank a bowl of wontons. No one knew whether he chewed them or not.
He conveniently put the empty bowl next to him, and when he looked carefully, he saw that the empty bowls were stacked as high as his knees. However, as if he was still wanting to eat, he reached out and picked up another bowl of hot food, and at the same time said a little embarrassedly.
"I really can't help it. I didn't bring any money with me, and I've been hungry for more than ten days. I happened to see you, so..." Halfway through, Xie Changyuan couldn't help laughing.
Xie Changyuan really found it funny, thinking that this man could really do anything when he was hungry. In addition, he had been thinking about whether to use blackmail and coercion to make money. As soon as he got up, he saw a red-faced Zhu Heng in front of him.
Have a meal.
Originally, Xie Changyuan didn't like him, so he came over and gave him a hard fight, asking the other party to pay for a meal and a hug. He breathed yesterday's breath and had a meal at the same time. There was nothing wrong with it, Mei Di
very.
Fortunately, this Zhu Heng was not a stingy person, and he was impressed by Xie Changyuan's martial arts. Although he felt bad about the meal, he was willing to pay for it.
The two of them exchanged words without saying a word. Xie Changyuan finished more than a dozen bowls of wontons like a storm. He wiped his mouth and seemed to be full, so he waved the boss over and asked him to pay with Zhu Heng.
The latter paid the order with an annoyed look on his face.
.....
After having enough food and clothing, Xie Changyuan and Zhu Heng walked side by side on the street. During this period, passers-by on the street frequently looked at him. Zhu Heng was also a local. After living here for so many years, he had never seen Zhu Dutou beaten like this.
.
Facing the pointing fingers of passers-by, the two big men walked silently on the street as if they had not heard anything.
Xie Changyuan said, "I have to trouble you one more thing. I want to ask you to borrow six taels of silver."
Hearing this, Zhu Heng's face darkened, thinking that you kid beat me up and prostituted me for free without paying for a meal, and now you dare to go further and blackmail me?
Zhu Heng stopped and was about to have a seizure.
"You are trying to blackmail me. It's true that I can't beat you, but you have to think carefully. I am an official of the imperial court!" Zhu Heng's eyes were a bit warning.
The two stood one behind the other, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Although Zhu Heng is tough on the surface, he doesn't think so in his heart. He is a fourth-level body refiner and can survive the siege of forty or fifty strong men without being hurt, and he guarantees to kill them all. This is what he did during the bandit suppression campaign a few years ago.
It was a real thing that happened during that time, and was once rumored in Yun City.
Now, Xie Changyuan in front of him gave him a strange sense of fear. He could tell that the former was not a body-refining madman or a cultivator. However, in front of others, he was as stunned as a child, with no way to fight back.
power.
It was already obvious at the breakfast stall just now, there is no doubt about it.
He was even ready to die on the street. For the sake of the official’s face and six taels of silver, he would fight to the end!
Xie Changyuan was silent for a few seconds, seeming to consider whether to continue speaking, but finally sighed helplessly.
"Forget it if you don't want to borrow it," Xie Changyuan said.
Zhu Heng was very surprised. This was different from what he imagined as blackmail.
"Aren't you going to continue blackmailing me?" he asked doubtfully.
Hearing this, Xie Changyuan glanced at him and shook his head silently.
‘Who the hell is blackmailing you?’ Xie Changyuan thought to himself.
Seeing this, Zhu Heng was puzzled. He thought to himself that this kid really just wanted to borrow money? Was he beating himself up this morning just because he had no money to eat?
The two stood in the middle of the road without saying anything. Just when Xie Changyuan was thinking about whether to borrow money from another official he met at the city gate yesterday, Zhu Heng couldn't help but speak.
"With your skills, it shouldn't be difficult to make some money. How did you end up in such a desperate situation?"
Xie Changyuan did not elaborate on his origins and experiences. After all, he was out of town and it was not suitable to tell others the truth.
So I just told Zhu Heng what happened when he came out of the blacksmith shop and found that he didn't bring any money. After explaining the matter clearly, Zhu Heng suddenly realized.
"So that's it. I told you that you are also very careless. How can anyone forget to bring money when they travel far away?" Zhu Heng couldn't help but sneer.
Xie Changyuan looked at Zhu Heng with an expressionless face and said to you, I will give you a look and you will understand.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you have money, give me money. If you don't have money, leave. Don't delay my way out of the city."
After finishing speaking, Xie Changyuan waved his hand, turned around and was about to leave, but Zhu Heng stopped him.
"Hey, how brave are you to go out and rob Tao in front of me?" Zhu Heng stared.
During the conversation, the passers-by with sharp ears turned pale with fright when they heard the word "Jie Dao". They all moved away from the two people and looked at Zhu Heng, who was wearing public uniform.
.
Due to his status as a businessman, Zhu Heng's blushing face showed embarrassment due to the topic just discussed. He immediately pulled Xie Changyuan to another street and found a corner to stand.
He raised his chin and said, "Six taels of silver is my salary for half a year, so I can't just borrow it."
Xie Changyuan made a sound, turned around and left.
Zhu Heng stopped Xie Changyuan again, wondering why this man had a hotter temper than himself.
Then, he said mysteriously, "However, I have a private job that I can give you now. After it is completed, six taels of silver will not be a problem, it will just be a lot more!"
