Zhao Zheng's jump was two meters high, and he was straight up on the spot without any leverage to sprint. He landed lightly on the branch, which trembled a few times, but the amplitude was very small. He floated up along the branch.
With his strength, he bounced again and landed on a higher branch. He stretched out his hand to pluck the kite from the tree branches and spun it back to the ground, with his clothes floating like waves.
"Wow, big brother, you can jump really high."
"So awesome! So awesome!"
"I heard from my parents that there are clouds under the feet of warriors, and when they jump, they feel like flying. This big brother must be a warrior."
The children talked a lot and swarmed up, surrounding Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng smiled and returned the kite to the group of children, stroked the head of one of the children a few times, got rid of the encirclement of these children, and continued to move forward.
Since Hua Xiangrong opened the Yin Qiao meridians for him, his Qinggong ability has greatly improved, and he has jumped to the third level. Now he can use Luo Yan Bu to succeed nine times out of ten, and the chance of failure is very small.
, it can already be used in actual combat. He can now reach two meters in one leap, and when he runs, his legs are in the wind, faster than a galloping horse, and his speed has improved a lot.
In a battle, strength, skill and speed can all play a decisive role. As the saying goes in martial arts, only speed is the key to success. The advantage of speed is sometimes more important than strength and skill. No matter how powerful the enemy is or how skillful his moves are,
As long as you can hit the vital point with one blow, you can win directly!
Zhao Zheng has an intuitive judgment on the improvement of his own strength. If he were to fight Qian Chong again now, he would be sure to subdue Qian Chong with one move before Qian Chong could react. There would be no suspense at all. If he were to fight a group of wolves
There is no chance of winning in the battle. He can rely on Luo Yanbu to deal with the wolves, avoid the sharp edges of the wolves, and kill the stray wolves one by one to weaken the wolves.
The obvious improvement in strength has brought Zhao Zheng more confidence, and even his eyes have become more energetic.
After walking this dirt road, Zhao Zheng came to the door of a familiar home.
Familiar earthen wall, familiar broken door, this is Ma An’s home.
Zhao Zheng refined the Tiger Power Yang Pill and needed someone to sell it on his behalf. At that time, he immediately thought of Ma An, thinking that Ma An was the most suitable.
Ma An is a very poor and honest man, and he knows Zhao Zheng, so he is the perfect candidate.
Zhao Zheng walked to the mottled wooden door and knocked a few times. Someone was in the yard, and the door was quickly opened for him. The person who opened the door was Ma An's mother, an old woman with gray hair and wrinkles on her face.
The old man was old and had a bad memory, so he didn't recognize Zhao Zheng. Zhao Zheng claimed to be Ma An's friend and came to talk to Ma An about something. The old man invited Zhao Zheng into the yard and scooped a bowl of water for Zhao Zheng.
, sat down and talked with Zhao Zheng. Ma An’s mother thought Ma An owed money outside, and seemed very uneasy.
Zhao Zheng took a sip of water, picked up the unfinished bamboo basket on the ground, and tried to knit it, thinking it was just to pass the time.
Not long after, Ma An came back carrying the unsold bamboo baskets and limped into the courtyard. With him was the little girl who always had a runny nose. The little girl was wearing a red sweatshirt.
Wearing a floral cloth jacket and skirt. After entering the hospital, Ma An found Zhao present and asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhao, why are you here?"
"Why can't I come?" Zhao Zheng put down the messy bamboo basket, dusted off the dirt on his palms, and smiled at Ma An.
"Of course you can come. You are a distinguished guest of our Ma family. You are welcome here at any time." Ma An turned from surprise to joy. He put down the bamboo basket, led the way, invited Zhao Zheng into the house, and ordered his mother to go out.
He bought some wine and food and came back, saying he wanted to treat Zhao Zheng to a banquet.
Zhao Zheng didn't want Ma An to spend money, so he took out some broken silver from his pocket and gave it to Ma An's mother. The two sides argued about this for a while, so there was no need to talk about it.
After sitting down in the room, Ma An lowered his voice and said gratefully to Zhao Zheng: "Mr. Zhao, thank you for your generous action, eradicating the scourge of Qian Chong, and taking out the bad breath for me."
"I killed Qian Chong not only for you, so there is no need to say thank you." Zhao Zheng shook his head. In his opinion, the matters related to Qian Chong have already passed and there is no need to talk about it anymore.
"Even if it's not for money, I should thank you just for the money you gave me. With the money you gave me, my family is much better off. The new clothes on my baby girl are made from
I bought it with the money you gave me." Ma An still looked grateful.
"Haha, you can't actually do much with that little money. Even a poor family can spend it all in two years of frugality."
"Fifty taels is nothing to you, young master, but it is definitely a huge sum of money to my family."
"But aren't you still weaving bamboo baskets to sell? These fifty taels have not changed your life."
"Even if we have a lot of money, we can't just sit back and have nothing. Besides, as a father, I have to save some dowry money for the girl, so that when the girl grows up, she will marry into her husband's family and be looked down upon." Ma An said honestly.
Seeing that the topic fell on money, Zhao Zheng simply used this topic to show off his cards and said: "Brother Ma, actually I have a good thing to ask you this time. If you handle this matter for me, I guarantee that you can make a lot of money."
With the money, I no longer need to sell any bamboo baskets.”
"What are your orders, Master? Is it possible...are you going to kill someone again?" Ma An asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, this time is not a dangerous thing, but a good deal." Zhao Zheng said as he took off a medicine gourd from his waist, opened the lid, poured out a red pill, and placed it on the table.
Above. This elixir is not surprising, it just looks like a red ball.
"What is this?" Ma An asked, pointing to the elixir.
"This is a medicine called Huli Zhuang*yang Pill. It has the effect of strengthening*yang and nourishing the kidneys. It works very quickly and lasts for a long time. I refined this medicine myself and plan to send it to some fireworks.
I want to sell it on my land. Since I am busy with work, I want to ask you to do it for me and help me run the business. After the elixir is sold for money, of course you will benefit from it, and you will definitely earn more than you did selling bamboo baskets." Zhao
Zheng replied.
"Is this medicine so magical?"
"If you don't believe it, you can take a bite. I think it only takes a small bite to be effective."
"Forget it. My wife ran away with someone a long time ago. If this medicine is really that effective, who will I find to relieve the fire after I take it?" Ma An said with a bitter smile.
"Haha, don't worry, this medicine is absolutely effective. There is no need to test it. Just go out and sell it for me." Zhao Zheng laughed.
"I sell this medicine for money. It's really not nice to say it." Ma An hesitated slightly.
"Pedantically speaking, let me ask you, do you think money or reputation is more important?"
Ma An was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "It's really hard to live without money. You are restricted in everything, and you will be looked down upon by others, so money is more important. Since the young master likes me, Ma, then I will
No need to postpone it any longer, I will do my best to complete this transaction for you. Master, just tell me what you have to say."
"You're right to agree. Where can I find such a pie-in-the-sky thing?" Zhao Zheng picked up the red elixir on the table, shook it in his hand, "Actually, this business is very easy to do.
I have a total of five pills here. Take them all, and then find the five largest brothels in Qibao County. Give one pill to each of them, and let those people take it back and experiment on their own. After they have tried the effect of this medicine, they will definitely
I’m very satisfied. You don’t need to look for them when the time comes, they will come to you naturally.”
"This matter is indeed not difficult, but look, sir, the clothes on my body are full of patches. I can't even get through the door of the brothel when I'm dressed like this. I will be kicked out as soon as I enter." Ma An said.
He spread his hands to show off the clothes he was wearing. The clothes were made of rags.
"That's easy. I'll give you some money and you can use it to buy a new set of clothes. A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Once you change your clothes, you will become a different person. I guarantee that no one in the brothel will dare to look down on you.
You." Zhao Zheng took out a thumb-sized silver ingot from his sleeve and knocked it on the table.
"Then I'll be disrespectful." Ma An took the money in his hand and added, "Don't worry, sir, I'm only buying a cheap set of clothes, and I'll pay you back the rest of the money when the time comes."
"Just keep these scraps of money. Just treat it as the salary I paid you in advance. When this elixir sells well in the future, I will give you another benefit." Zhao Zheng said generously.
Next, Zhao Zheng and Ma An discussed some more details. After Ma An's mother bought the food and wine, the two of them had a drink. Zhao Zheng took this opportunity to deliberately drink Ma An a few more drinks, and Ma An was
He got him drunk to test whether Ma An would make a gaffe after drinking. He found that Ma An was not drunk at all. He became confused after a few drinks and talked nonsense. From this, he must tell Ma An not to drink with others in the future.
, so as not to leak out his affairs.
When night fell, Zhao Zheng declined Ma An's offer to stay, left Ma An's home, and returned to his own home. The next day, he went to various medical clinics in Qibao County to purchase a large amount of medicinal materials in preparation for refining.
Tiger Bone Pill and Huli Zhuang*Yang Pill. When he purchased the medicinal materials this time, he found that the prices of these medicinal materials had increased. It seems that his behavior of buying medicinal materials in a big way affected the entire medicinal material market, causing the prices to fluctuate.
While Zhao was secretly scolding various merchants for their evil intentions, he was also inspired and understood that one should be more evil when doing business. It seemed that he had to set a high price for the Huli Zhuang Yang Pill and divide it into three grades.
The low-grade ones are adulterated with flour, the medium ones are mixed with half flour, and the high-grade ones are complete elixirs. This should be able to cater to more customers with consumption levels and stimulate consumption, making people rush to buy the highest-grade elixirs.
…
There are probably only two types of people who come to a brothel during the day. The first is those who are extremely hungry during the day, and the second is those who come to the brothel to discuss business.
Ma An is the latter. He is not here for those flashy girls, but to sell the elixir he has. He is wearing a new set of clean clothes, and even his hair has been carefully taken care of, but despite this, he
Still looking a little timid, he hesitated for a long time before stepping into the gate of Baihua Pavilion.
