() "I still need a cashier at the counter. Would you like to come and try?" Chen Yunsheng asked.
The old beggar had an incredible look on his face. After a long while, he said: "Don't be joking, my benefactor. Your store is not big. You already have a waiter and a maid. You can do the accounting and counter by yourself."
, why hire me? Isn’t it unnecessary?”
Chen Yunsheng smiled and said: "I think you are different from others. You always like to inquire deeply about things and see things very clearly. That's why I came up with this idea. I am a restless person, and my time at the counter may be limited on weekdays.
It's appropriate for someone to help keep an eye on it. How about that, are you willing?"
The old man nodded doubtfully and said, "My benefactor only needs to take care of my three meals a day. It's better to have hope than anything else."
"What's your last name, old man?"
"My surname is Zhao, and my given name is only the word Rui. I don't know if my benefactor's surname is his surname?"
"My surname is Chen, just call me Shopkeeper Chen."
Zhao Rui stood up, put his hands forward, and saluted again.
The ice drinking room is divided into two small courtyards at the front and back and a facade. The front facade is used for business. Zhao Rui and Tian Zhong live in the small courtyard in the front, while Chen Yunsheng, Bai Murong and Yu Chixue live in the courtyard in the back.
"In order to hide your identity, you actually found an outsider. Isn't it a bit much? It will be very inconvenient for us." Yu Chixue said dissatisfied.
"I really want to help him. I can hide my identity and help others, so why not do it. He is just an ordinary person. If we pay a little attention, we can hide his whereabouts and it won't be that troublesome." Chen Yunsheng was calm and calm.
said.
"I really don't understand you. If you follow me, starting from the first name on the list and killing the last one. One every day, three of them should have turned into ghosts by now. But you are the boss here, and everything is decided by you."
Yu Chixue was a little helpless. Chen Yunsheng's slowness made him unable to understand.
"The first point to avoid blindness is not to follow what others say. Before I start, I need to truly understand the city. I don't believe that everyone on that list should be killed, and I don't believe that that list covers everyone who deserves to be killed. Without understanding
, just do it, it is nothing more than a knife in the hands of others. And my principle is to try not to kill as much as possible."
Chen Yunsheng seemed to be talking casually, but every word hit Yuchixue's heart. Before following this young man, he existed as a sword. He didn't care whether the ghost under the sword should be killed, even if he died.
Even if a person has countless touching stories, or he is a completely good person, he can pierce that person's chest with a sword.
Early the next morning, Chen Yunsheng left the teahouse behind and set out on the road through the snow that had accumulated all night. His destination today was a restaurant in Xicheng. It would take two people to walk from here to Xicheng.
At that time, it was lunch time when we got there.
It had been a long time since he had walked so leisurely on a road full of pedestrians. Looking at the hurried and hungry people in front of him, Chen Yunsheng suddenly felt a heavy sense of responsibility. He didn't know why he had such a feeling.
It felt like he had just arrived at the door of the restaurant at noon. Far away, he could see four large gilded characters on the opposite side, "Come to the restaurant."
Xicheng is not a city where rich people live. Most of them are traffickers and people doing small business. Junlai Restaurant is not very high-grade. As soon as he entered, Chen Yunsheng felt that the light in the lobby was a little dim, but there were not many people there.
Shao, compared with the deserted outside the door, this place is a different world.
Some people punched their fists to give orders, some pushed cups and changed cups, some buried their heads in eating, and some whispered.
Choosing a seat near the window and ordering three appetizers, Chen Yunsheng poured himself into a pot of strong wine and drank. While eating, he released his spiritual consciousness and energy, and the whispers of everyone in the hotel were like light and shadow.
Generally present in his sea of consciousness.
Most of these people talked about trivial matters, but the conversation between a pair of people attracted Chen Yunsheng's attention. A short fat man said: "Is what my brother said true? If it is true, we should sell our assets.
Get out of this damn place."
"Of course it's true. I have a distant cousin who works as a servant in a cultivator's home, and this cultivator holds an important position in Sitian Pavilion. According to him, in order to cope with the invasion of Leng Yue Kingdom this year, Tianshui City's taxes
If we want to increase our business by 30%, you and I are both operating on a small scale. If this continues, there is only a dead end. You have to keep this matter secret and don’t mention it to anyone." The tall man opposite said with a stern look on his face.
"Since the battle broke out in the mountains twenty years ago, the country has become more and more decadent like the afternoon sun. Do you think there is any chance of improvement?" the short fat man said worriedly.
The tall man took a bite of the food, then shook his head and said, "Even if there is any change, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to see it. Xiliang has been a country for more than two thousand years, but there have been few monarchs. The lifespan of those practitioners is very short."
Based on a hundred years of discussion, what do we, ants-like minions, mean?"
The short fat man sighed and said: "Let's go, let's go. I heard that Pilu Country is relatively peaceful. I'll sell my house immediately and go there to visit my relatives instead of waiting to die here."
Then the two people started chatting about trivial things, and Chen Yunsheng stopped listening. He ate his meal very slowly, and almost three people in the restaurant still hadn't finished the meal, and the anxious waiter was standing by.
They looked at each other angrily, but Chen Yunsheng didn't mind.
At this time, the conversation of three people attracted his attention. These three people were sitting in a dark corner in the northwest of the hall. Their heads were hung low, and they were wearing low-class black cloth jackets.
The sleeves were rolled up high, revealing strong muscles. As the three of them talked, their eyes looked around, as if they were looking for something.
Only one of them said: "Are you sure no one is following you along the way? I've been feeling restless these days."
A red-faced man sitting opposite him said: "You don't need to make a fuss. We escaped thousands of miles along the way, so no one will chase us. Don't worry, you two. After this period of limelight is over, we will go north and pass by
If you go to Leng Yue Kingdom at Luoguan Pass, there is still some way to survive there."
"Hey, it's a pity that we were ruined by this group of people. Now when I close my eyes, I feel like I'm back in the bottomless mine, facing those spiritual stones with sharp edges like knives and the monsters in the abyss." Huddled in the abyss.
The third person in the corner said tearfully.
"You three are really not simple!" A voice suddenly came to mind from the direction of the door of the wine shop. The three of them subconsciously stood up and looked at the door alertly.
Chen Yunsheng had long sensed that three practitioners were approaching. He looked up and saw that the leader looked about thirty years old, with a fleshy face, and looked quite tough. Judging from the density of spiritual energy, he was
A monk in the foundation-building stage. Behind him were two monks who were still in the Qi-refining stage. They were wearing Sitian Pavilion's standard soft armor, with an eagle's head printed on their chests.
The three people in the corner had already seen the three people at the door. The person in the front suddenly picked up a chair from the ground and threw it towards the leading Sitian Pavilion practitioner. The other two people rushed towards the inner hall of the wine shop in tacit understanding.
.Everyone who was eating saw this scene and fled in all directions. The scene was very chaotic for a while.
The leader of the big man chuckled twice, and suddenly a dazzling light appeared in front of him, and a green flying sword buzzed and vibrated in the air. In one breath, the flying sword pierced the air, making a sharp friction sound, and passed through.
The chair flew by Toru and pierced the man's throat. A round head was brought down by the force of the flying sword, and a three-foot-long blood arrow flew into the air.
The chair was torn apart in the air by the momentum of the flying sword and fell to the ground with a crackle. Chen Yunsheng quietly hid in a corner of the lobby, his expression deliberately pretending to be frightened and he forgot to escape.
The two low-level monks behind the foundation-building monk flew towards the inner hall. Seeing a waiter hiding a little slower, a monk raised his foot impatiently and kicked the waiter three feet away.
He fell heavily against a wooden wall, foamed at the mouth, and fell unconscious.
The red-faced man among the three people had already rushed to the inner hall. Seeing the tragic death of one of his brothers, his original cowardice disappeared. He picked up a bone-cutting knife from the chopping board behind his back and glared at the incoming man.
A young monk.
The young cultivator smiled softly and took out a green long sword from the storage bag under his waist. It looked like it was a grade worse than the flying sword of the foundation-building monk just now. The long sword was unsheathed, and it was green.
The light illuminated the inner room in a miserable way.
"If I'm not mistaken, the three of you escaped from the mine in Fengxiakou and headed north. You actually escaped for more than a thousand miles and sneaked into Tianshui City. We are really surprised. But today is your last day. People who serve in corvee leave without permission.
If you perform your duties, you should be punished for your crimes!"
The young monk shook his green long sword slightly, and a beautiful sword flower appeared in the air. He touched the ground with both feet and shot forward. The speed was not much slower than the flying sword.
The red-faced man swung the bone-cutting knife vigorously. No matter how fast he swung it, he could not find any solace in this senseless defense.
Just when the long sword was about to pass through the gap between the bone-cutting knife and hit the red-faced man's throat, suddenly the sword tilted slightly to the left, just in time to collide with the bone-cutting knife. With a "clang", the sparks were struck.
, the red-faced man saw the unnatural face of the young monk.
The long sword was actually knocked away by the bone-cutting knife. The young monk retreated ten feet away and carefully observed his surroundings. Logically speaking, the sword just now would never have been deflected, but he clearly felt a strong force pushing the long sword.
Go diagonally to the left.
At this time, the monk who was chasing another miner who was hiding stumbled over from the corner door on one side and said vaguely: "It's weird, that miner can't be killed."
