085, Just two hundred taels of gold want to buy us?
Puff puff……
Amidst the muffled sound of the sharp weapon piercing the flesh, the hit ghost owl fell like raindrops. Some ghost owl adjusted their posture in time, nimbly avoided the "golden light" shot, and pounced on Mu Qingxue relentlessly.
Mu Qingxue reached into the cloak with her slender hands, and when she took it out, she found that the tips of her five fingers were already wrapped with a golden thread as thin as hair.
Then she flicked her five fingers together, and long golden threads rose into the sky, crisscrossing in the air, and smashed into pieces all the ghost owls that came within a foot of her.
Within a few moments, nearly two hundred ghost owls were either shot dead by the golden light of beans or strangled by golden threads.
Although the ghost owl was not very intelligent, he was still frightened by the brutal killing. The remaining ghost owl quickly stopped and turned around, and fled back to the forest with strange screams.
Mu Qingxue did not pursue him either.
This kind of vicious bird is full of poison, blood, oil, and extremely corrosive. It has very little use value, and it takes a lot of effort to collect. For Mu Qingxue who is in a hurry, killing him is of no use, but only consumes his true energy.
.
So she allowed the remaining ghost owl to escape, put away the golden thread, and stretched out her hand again. The golden beans that shot the ghost owl before flew out from the bird corpses, or bounced off the ground.
It fell into her palm like a bird returning to the forest.
Within a moment, a handful of golden beans had gathered in her slender palms.
They are all golden beans made of pure gold, each one is the size of a soybean.
And gold is the only mortal metal that can withstand the infusion of true energy.
Mu Qingxue put the golden beans back into her cloak, found a coconut tree on the beach, picked a few coconuts and ate them, then found a random place to meditate and regain her breath.
After resting for a while and replenishing his energy, Mu Qingxue jumped up again, soared into the air, spread out his big cloak like bat wings, and continued to glide towards King Shark Island.
…
Pirate City, when the lanterns first come on.
Chen Yuniang led Shen Lang, Luo Er, and Niu Si all the way to the door of the largest restaurant in the city, "Sihai Pavilion".
"Gui Wangdong is so arrogant that he even entertained guests at the Sihai Pavilion."
Luo Er chuckled.
Shen Lang asked curiously: "How to say?"
"Sihai Pavilion is King Shark's property. Ghost King Dong entertained the shopkeepers at King Shark's property and roped them in to compete with King Shark. It's so blatant. What else is it if it's not arrogance?"
While they were talking, the waiter came out enthusiastically and led Chen Yuniang and her entourage straight to the third floor of the restaurant, where they came to a brightly lit banquet hall.
There were already many guests sitting in the banquet hall, all of whom were Shan Gang shopkeepers and their right-hand men whom Chen Yuniang was familiar with.
Seeing Chen Yuniang, a fat man with an open chest, a huge belly, and a big beard immediately said with a smile:
"The Lady Jade is here? The young man next to you is your new husband? He is indeed brave and vigorous, a young hero!"
Judging from his tone, it was obvious that he had received a wedding invitation from Chen Yuniang. Although he did not go to the wedding banquet, he must have paid for his share of the wedding.
Another fat white man wearing a silk robe and an official hat with an angry face said with a smile:
"Ms. Jade, the pony came out of my boat. I was originally very optimistic about him and planned to cultivate him vigorously. If it weren't for your sincerity, Mrs. Jade, I would be reluctant to let him go to your boat. You can't treat him badly in the future.
.”
Well, this fat white man is none other than Shen Lang's former employer, Shopkeeper Luo of "Fuyuan Hao".
His beautiful words made Shen Lang roll his eyes.
This fat white man also met Shen Lang and other novices when they boarded the boat. At that time, he probably didn't even remember what Shen Lang looked like. Later, he sold him for two hundred silver dollars. The so-called "promising"
” is obviously just a lie.
At this time, several other single gang shopkeepers who had arrived earlier also made jokes one after another. Their words were not as vulgar as ordinary pirates. They also praised Shen Lang a lot, making Lady Jade smile and look proud.
Luo Er introduced Shen Lang in a low voice:
"The fat man with the big beard is the shopkeeper Hu of the Black Water, the sinister-looking man who is smiling but not smiling is the shopkeeper Cao of the White Crane, and the one with the pointed head and wide mouth like a catfish is He of the Jiaoling
Shopkeeper.
"The bald man with diamond tattoos on his body is the shopkeeper Jin of the 'Duren', the serious black face is the shopkeeper Xing of the 'Guangji', and the fat white shopkeeper Luo of the 'Fuyuan' needs no introduction.
Your former employer...
"These shopkeepers are all single gang shopkeepers who are familiar with our 'Feiyu Hao'. They have no conflicts with each other. They occasionally cooperate in doing business, and their friendship is not bad... Well, every shopkeeper has one or two skills.
He is a unique talent, not an ordinary person."
While talking, Chen Yuniang, who was polite to the shopkeepers for a while, led Shen Lang and the others to sit down.
There were only single seats for each person in the banquet hall, but Chen Yuniang didn't care so much. She only asked Luo Er and Niu Si to sit at one table each, and pulled Shen Lang to sit at the same table with her.
After that, Chen Yuniang looked around the hall and saw that there was no one at the main seat, so she couldn't help but frown and said:
"Gui Wangdong hasn't come yet?"
Shopkeeper Hu, a fat and muscular man, chuckled and said:
"Gui Wangdong is Da Longtou. Da Longtou will definitely come to the scene with his airs on."
Chen Yuniang sneered twice and said with dissatisfaction:
"I thought Dongda Longtou valued us a lot, but now it seems that its sincerity is limited."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old male voice was heard coming from outside the banquet hall door:
"Ms. Jade, what you said is wrong. My Big Dragon Head did not intend to neglect all the shopkeepers. It's just that Qu Da Longtou suddenly arrived at King Shark Island. Our Big Dragon Head had to go to greet Qu Da Longtou first, so he couldn't arrive in time. But
I still sent this old man to entertain you all."
Accompanied by these words, a long-bearded old man wearing a high hat, a black top embroidered with white cherry blossoms, a gray skirt and a three-foot cane walked in with a smile.
It was Li Ying, Gui Wangdong's military advisor.
Behind Li Ying, followed a group of slender Izumo women, less than 1.5 meters tall, wearing traditional Izumo country skirts. Each of them held a lacquer plate in their hands.
After entering the door, Li Ying smiled and nodded to the shopkeepers, while slowly walking towards the main seat. The group of women from the Izumo Kingdom went to the shopkeepers' seats and each presented a lacquer plate to the shopkeepers.
Chen Yuniang casually uncovered the red cloth covering the lacquer plate in front of her, and saw twenty yellow gold bars neatly placed inside the lacquer plate.
She picked up a gold bar, weighed it, and sneered:
"One is ten taels, twenty taels is two hundred taels? Dongda Longtou is pretending that we have never seen money? It's only two hundred taels of gold, and they want to capture us?"
Although she had decided to outwardly support Ghost Wangdong in order to disrupt the "Heroes Conference" and help Shen Lang destroy Duke Ying and Sha Wanli's plot, she could not act too eagerly.
On the surface, they are trying their best to gain benefits.
After hearing her words, the insidious shopkeeper Cao of "White Crane" also said in a sinister tone:
"Mrs. Jade is right. Although we are not as big as Dongda Longtou, but with only two hundred taels of gold... we are too short-sighted!"
The golden shopkeeper of the "Duren", who had large diamond tattoos on his chest and back and a shiny bald head, also said in an unhappy tone:
"Dongda Longtou even left us hanging here. When he went to welcome Qu Dalongtou, he sent you, Old Ghost Li, to send us away. Huh, in that case, Dongda Longtou just welcomes Qu Dalongtou and doesn't care about us little shrimps. What to do?"
Shopkeeper Luo, who was so amiable, also smiled with a sinister expression:
"Dongda Longtou and Quda Longtou join forces to rival Shada Longtou. We small fish and shrimps are really dispensable. We can't blame others for looking down upon us."
All the shopkeepers expressed their dissatisfaction with every word they said to me.
Li Ying, who had already sat down at the main table, did not show any shame or anger. It was not until all the shopkeepers spoke that he said with a smile:
"My fellow shopkeepers, a mere two hundred taels of gold is indeed not worth mentioning and is not worthy of the abilities of all the shopkeepers. But why should you all be so impatient? My big faucet also has a great gift."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands gently, and another group of Izumo women walked into the hall carrying lacquer trays, and each presented a tray to the shopkeepers.
"More money? Couldn't we have paid it out together earlier? It's so stingy."
Chen Yuniang taunted her nonchalantly, and opened the veil nonchalantly, only to see that there was no gold bar in the lacquer plate presented this time, but a book.
There are four big characters on the cover of the book: Earthquake in all directions.
