The attendant behind King Kang took out his money bag and asked, "Master, how much is the reward?"
King Kang took the money bag from his hand, threw it on the table, took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, threw it to the old man, and said, "I'll reward you all..."
The attendant froze on the spot, looking unbelievable.
This amount of silver plus banknotes amounts to at least a thousand taels. Even when King Kang was at his richest, he was never so generous. Now that the palace is stretched thin, his reward is enough to provide food and clothing for the palace for several months.
Spend……
The old man calmly put away the banknotes, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Thank you, distinguished guest."
King Kang looked at Mr. Xu and asked with a smile: "Is Mr. Xu unexpected?"
Mr. Xu shook his head and said: "A friend of Xu's said that we must believe in science and not be superstitious."
King Kang asked doubtfully: "Science?"
Mr. Xu explained: “It’s the study of things.”
"It turns out that Mr. Xu's friend is from the Gewu Sect." King Kang waved his hand and said: "No matter whether his test is accurate or not, sir, just for fun, if you test it once a thousand taels, isn't our money wasted?"
"
Mr. Xu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "In that case, let's just test one."
He picked up the pen and casually wrote the word "品" on the paper.
King Kang looked at the old man and asked, "What is the meaning of this character?"
"This is simple." The old man smiled and said: "Three mouths are a meal, and the husband eats from three families alone. If I guessed correctly - Mr. must have a big appetite, right?"
Mr. Xu looked at the old man, with a smile on his face, and nodded: "The old man guessed it right, Xu needs to eat three bowls of rice in one meal..."
"That's natural." The old man stroked his beard, smiled, and said: "I, Liu Banxian, is a disciple of the divine fortune teller Zhuge. He has been telling fortunes for many years, but he has never failed..."
…
After leaving the fortune-telling stall, Mr. Xu and King Kang walked on the street. He glanced at King Kang and asked: "Your Highness knows that he is a liar, why do you still reward him with so much money?"
King Kang smiled and said: "I know he is a liar, but I am happy to be deceived by him. I am happy. Is there anything in this world that can be better than being happy?"
He looked at Mr. Xu and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu's test is really interesting. Three mouths are the food, and one person can eat the food of three people. Does Mr. Xu really have such a big appetite? Why didn't I notice it?"
"Of course not." Mr. Xu smiled faintly and said: "Walking around in the world is not easy. If you don't embarrass others, you just don't embarrass yourself. I have no enmity with him, so why bother to expose him or smash him?"
brand?"
King Kang shook his head, thought of something, and said: "There is something that I have wanted to say for a long time, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Mr. Xu said: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you say so."
King Kang looked at him and said: "I am impressed by Mr. Xu's ability, but Mr. Xu's handwriting is really ugly..."
…
On the street, a young man next to the old fortune teller counted the banknotes in his hand and said in a trembling voice: "Master, master, one thousand taels, it's really one thousand taels..."
The old man quickly cleaned up the stall, glanced at him, and said: "Look at your unscrupulous appearance. If you go out in the future, don't say that you are my disciple, Liu Banxian!"
The young man smiled sheepishly and asked: "Master, who is that noble man? Why are you so generous?"
Liu Banxian stretched out his hand and knocked him on the head, and said angrily: "I told you earlier, the most important thing in our line of work is the look in the eyes. You have to know what the dignitaries of the capital look like. Even His Highness Prince Kang
I don’t even know how you ended up in the capital!"
"Do you have a clue?" The young man glanced at him and said: "You have a clue. Last time, you said that the eldest son of the Tang family was in a bloody disaster and his life was in danger. He was beaten half to death and was even arrested.
I spent a month in jail eating prison food..."
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about!" The old man kicked him on the butt a few times and said angrily: "You have become more capable. Even the master dares to contradict you. Do you think you can start training now that your wings have become stronger..."
"No, no..." After being kicked a few times, the young man immediately became honest and changed the subject: "But Master, we lied to King Kang, aren't we afraid that he will react and cause trouble for us?"
"What do you know? Wealth can be gained through danger, especially for those in our field. If you give it a try, your hut will turn into a pavilion. If you work hard, a copper coin is worth ten thousand gold. If you are afraid of everything, you might as well change your career as soon as possible..." He glared.
He glanced at the young man and said: "Hurry up and pack up. We can't stay in this capital anymore. To be on the safe side, we can't stay in Chen State either. Let's go to Chu State and Kyoto. I heard that there is little competition among peers and the powerful people are stupid."
many……"
…
An hour passed, and Tang Ning was still thinking about the letter.
Who was reminding him secretly, and why was he sneaking around and hiding? He didn't seem to have any shady friends in the capital, but he had quite a few shady enemies.
After thinking about it, she didn't have any firm guesses. Tangning shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
One more friend is better than one more enemy.
Xiaoxiao walked into the yard, walked up to Tangning, glanced at the note in his hand, and asked, "Brother, who wrote this? It's so ugly..."
In this women's martial arts competition, Tang Yaoyao was eliminated early, but Xiao Xiao advanced all the way and successfully entered the finals.
Tang Ning initially thought that her strength was on par with Tang Yaoyao's, but now it seems that he still looks down on Xiao Xiao.
Although she is only sixteen years old now and has only been practicing martial arts for two short years, Tang Yaoyao and Lu Ya, who are several years older than her, are no longer her opponents.
Tang Ning couldn't even imagine such a terrifying talent. No wonder the old beggar wanted to accept her as his disciple despite his shame. Having such a disciple was a very honorable thing.
Tangning thought of something, looked at her, and asked, "Xiaoxiao, can you deal with the woman who defeated Sister Yaoyao?"
Xiaoxiao thought for a while and asked, "Is it the sister with the scar on her face?"
Tangning nodded and said, "That's her."
Xiaoxiao shook his head and said sheepishly: "I'm not her opponent yet."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Tangning and asked, "Brother, do you want Xiaoxiao to defeat her?"
Tangning shook her head and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll think of a solution."
Xiaoxiao looked down at him and said with some disappointment: "I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao is not her opponent and can't help her brother..."
The old beggar came over and said dissatisfiedly: "How can my disciple say such things?"
Xiaoxiao looked up at him and said helplessly: "But Master, her sword skills are really powerful. After half a year, she will no longer be my opponent, but I really can't beat her now..."
"Sword skills, sword skills are nothing!" The old beggar glanced at his mouth and said, "I have a hundred ways to defeat her sword skills..."
"But..." He just finished speaking, his voice changed again, and he said: "Although my methods are effective, they are a bit troublesome."
He looked at Tang Ning and said, "Ask the pig butcher about his knife skills. He will definitely have a way to solve it."
Tang Ning was so confused by Zheng today that she actually forgot about it. He walked up to Old Zheng who was sharpening his knife and asked, "Old Zheng, can you break the sword technique of the woman with two swords?
"
Lao Zheng shook his head and said, "No."
Tangning looked at him and said in surprise: "No way, is there any sword technique in this world that you can't defeat?"
Lao Zheng said: "Even if you use provocation, I can't break it."
Tang Ning thought for a while, then picked up her daughter who was standing next to Lao Zheng watching him sharpen his knife, and said with a smile: "Nanny, I will take you to play with Brother Zhao Yuan..."
"Okay, okay..." Nannan clapped her hands happily and said, "I like to play with Brother Zhao Yuan the most..."
Snapped!
Old Zheng dropped the butcher knife in his hand, looked up at Tang Ning, and asked, "How do you want to break it?"
