"Don't be afraid of him! He's so timid... Why should he practice martial arts? What kind of Taoism should he practice?!"
This was an impassioned and righteous statement, but when he finished speaking, the speaker's pupils suddenly dilated and no longer had that bright and dazzling color.
Because Zhang Baoer was very fast, almost indescribably fast. Before the exclamations around him could be heard, he had already disappeared from the back of the unicorn horse. He had also arrived in front of the woman three feet away and stretched out a hand to pinch her.
Her neck lifted her up.
The woman was so frightened that she couldn't breathe. Her feet couldn't touch the ground. She kicked and clawed with her hands and feet, but she couldn't shake Zhang Baoer.
The woman's brother's reaction was not slow this time, and he rushed over immediately.
However, he did not attack Zhang Baoer, but knelt on the ground and shouted:
"Sir, please forgive me! I'm sorry, I'm sorry...my sister is not sensible..."
However, Zhang Baoer did not look at him. He leaned his head towards him, stared straight into the woman's eyes with cold eyes, and asked in a cold voice:
"Where's the martial arts you practice? Where's the Tao you practice? Huh?!"
Having said this, he grabbed her brother who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed by his clothes, lifted him up, and continued:
"Do you know that your ignorance will not only kill you, but also your useless brother? Haha..."
Having said this, he laughed and asked with a smile:
"Or are you practicing idiotic martial arts or ruthless ways?! Huh?! Tell me!"
At the end of the sentence, his voice suddenly rose and turned into a stern question.
boom!
The woman's brain felt like it was struck by a bolt of lightning. These words were so direct that they pierced into the depths of her soul like a ruthless sword.
Her tears burst down instantly, and her eyes rolled back. But just when she thought she was going to die, she found that the hand holding her neck was no longer there, and her body was falling like fallen leaves.
land.
"Little sister! Little sister..."
She was at a loss for a moment, then gradually woke up when she heard her brother's call clearly, and found that Zhang Baoer was no longer in front of her, and had led his beast riders and servants to the front door steps behind her.
A sweating, luxuriously dressed old man came out of the door and greeted him with a smile:
"Oops... A distinguished guest is here, but I was unable to arrive in time. I hope you will forgive me... Please! Please! Please come in!"
…………
"Brother, we..."
After getting up from the ground, the girl was still frightened and her pupils were uncertain. Looking at the old and young people pointing at them, she hesitated for a moment, not wanting to walk through the door.
Her brother smiled casually and said:
"Don't worry, that young master is not only superb in martial arts but also not a bad person. He will be fine! Besides, if we don't enter this door, how can we brothers and sisters catch up with the auditions of the three major heavenly sects?! Don't be afraid! Trust me!"
"Okay...okay..."
She glanced at the unicorn with its head stretched out to look at her. Although she was very nervous, she still obeyed her brother's words, tremblingly avoided the unicorn, followed the little brother who was waiting for them, and walked out of the door.
The other side jumped in.
The entrance is a courtyard with few people and the grass in the courtyard is messy. Fortunately, the walkway paved with red stone bricks leading to the main hall is relatively clean.
As soon as they entered the door, they heard the old mayor's voice of assurance coming from the hall. They didn't know what Zhang Baoer talked about with him. They only knew that they had finished talking, and it ended happily, because then came
Zhang Baoer laughed with satisfaction.
The woman's original intention was to stay in the side room for a while and wait for Zhang Baoer to leave before going in. But before she could speak to the young man, she heard the mayor's voice coming from inside:
"Two distinguished guests, please come in quickly!"
Hearing this, she looked around and found that the only people who could be called "two people" here were herself and her brother. In desperation, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow in.
She didn't dare to raise her head, or even let her eyes see Zhang Baoer's shoes, because that young man was so terrifying, and with her mid-stage Golden Core cultivation level, she was no match for him!
Her brother was not afraid, as if he was not afraid because of what happened just now. When he came in, he bowed and bowed like Zhang Baoer:
"Yun Bai and Yun Zi have met the young master!"
Zhang Baoer smiled and nodded, but then he shook his head and said with a smile:
"Wrong!"
Yun Bai Yun Zi's heart tightened, and the old mayor with a cheerful face stood up at this time, took over Zhao Bao'er's words and said kindly:
"This is Mr. Li Kui, and he will be your eldest brother from now on. The two of you are the second and third sons, and this one..."
When he said this, he pointed to Yan Xin, who was standing behind Zhang Baoer with his arms folded:
"This young man with extraordinary bearing and talent is your fourth brother Li Xin! Haha... What should I call you two? It must start with Li!"
Hearing this, the brother and sister were so shocked that they were speechless. They were just a few years old, and their identities were arranged before they even opened their mouths. Who meant this? That scary young man?!
The old mayor was such a shrewd person. He immediately led the two of them to sit down and explained:
"Unfortunately, the auditions for the three major forces will be held soon, so there is a shortage of places. I only have five pieces of road-drawing jade here. One piece belongs to the seventeenth grandson's house at the entrance of the town, but the boy in his family is over thirty.
I participated in the audition a few years ago, but I didn’t match up with a few of them; and these four dollars were left... Hey, that was fifteen years ago.
I was visiting relatives in town, and my poor ninth son's family, whose entire family was killed by thieves, had a tough-headed only son and his one-eyed daughter-in-law, but it was a pity. What's the use of having three boys and one girl?
Were you not harmed by that group of thieves! Hey... the youngest one is just one month old!"
Hearing this, the brother and sister suddenly realized that no wonder they had reached an agreement so quickly. It turned out that there was only one choice.
Yun Bai didn't react at all, and seemed to have a good impression of Zhang Bao'er; but Yun Zi became entangled - understanding is one thing, accepting is another, and she wants to tie herself to this unpredictable stranger.
Together they are somewhat...
"OK……"
"elder brother!"
Hearing Yun Bai's promise, Yun Zi quickly stopped, but Yun Bai did not coddle her this time and continued:
"...We agreed!"
"good!"
Chang Yue, the elder of the old town, quickly stood up and left, saying that he was going back to write a road guide.
Zhang Baoer saw that Yun Zi was a little unwilling, and then sneered:
"If it hadn't been for a friend of mine whose surname is also Yun, who saw that your brother was a good brother even though he was a coward, otherwise, I, Li Kui, could have asked the old mayor to cross out those two of you and mark them as 'dead'!"
The brother and sister were shocked. If Zhang Baoer really did that, they would have to find a way out elsewhere, and there was not much time left. Whether they could catch up with the auditions of the three major forces was unknown.
Thinking of this, Yun Bai quickly explained in panic:
"Master, please calm down! My sister has no ill intentions..."
"Okay, okay!"
Zhang Baoer interrupted his stammering words. He was such a shrewd person. Such an inexperienced little girl could not deceive him. Naturally, he knew that Yun Zi was not; if she had any malicious intentions, she would not be alive now.
"There is gold under the man's knees. If you, the elder brother, had not kneeled down just now and made me feel a little guilty, I would not have bothered to care whether you could get a guide... Little girl, remember, all this is because of your brother's kneeling.
Come on! If you are really capable, don’t let your brother kneel down in the future! Remember?!"
At the end of the sentence, his voice suddenly rose, and his eyes became sharp. Yun Zi was shocked physically and mentally, and she quickly trembled and replied:
"Remember...remember."
Zhang Baoer was very satisfied with her reaction, and the reason why he was satisfied was because his sister had knelt down to others for him!
If not, he would not have said so much today, or would have ignored Yun Zi, or even if he did, he would have just given her a slap in the face.
"Okay... I've kept these distinguished guests waiting for a long time!"
At this moment, the old mayor walked in holding four jade tablets, and then handed one to each person.
The road guide was a piece of white jade, about three fingers long and wide. It was slightly cool to the touch. Zhang Baoer noticed that in addition to the introduction of the character 'Li Kui', there was also a drop of blood on it.
The old mayor was good at observing words and expressions. He immediately noticed the doubt in Zhang Baoer's eyes and quickly explained with a smile:
"The country of Dawan has extremely strict population control. This kind of jade was originally worthless, but after being processed by the refiner, its value increased many times, so it issued this rule: the citizens of this country must be over fifteen years old.
You must be equipped with road guides. Each road guide contains ten spiritual stones. If not, you must be old.
You must leave the Dawan Kingdom before you are fifteen years old. By the way, sir, please look carefully. There is a simple magic circle inside. The function of that magic circle is to preserve the blood of the person who led the way. If the person who holds the road and leads commits a crime in the future,
If something happens, the person who led the way can also be held jointly and severally liable, so..."
After saying this, the old mayor rubbed his hands and said:
"Ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones, ahem, are indeed not expensive!"
"What?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Zi jumped up and stared at the old mayor with a look of disbelief on his face.
"It's not like two thousand low-grade spiritual stones..."
"Girl, don't be angry, please listen to me!"
The old mayor interrupted her and explained with a grimace:
"Monkism means fighting. There are naturally many fights among monks. Fighting means that someone will die. The kind you mentioned was obtained on the black market. All the information on it belongs to others. If you want to use it in Dawan
There is no need for the governor to stay here! If he is found out, the consequences... ahem, I have already told the young master about this..."
Hearing this, Yun Zi's face fell, and she looked at Yun Bai, both of whom had wry smiles on their faces.
Zhang Baoer knew at a glance that these two people did not have that many spiritual stones, and he had no intention of helping them pay the bill, so he asked Yan Xin to take out 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones and give them to the old mayor.
Seeing this, Yun Zi's eyes lit up, but she didn't speak immediately. She hesitated for a while before opening her mouth, but when she did, she didn't say anything. Her face turned red and she was stuck there.
Yun Bai lowered his head and thought for a while, then spoke. Zhang Baoer thought he was going to borrow money from him, but it turned out that he was not.
"Mr. Mayor, our brother and sister only have a total of six thousand low-grade spiritual stones... Do you think this will work? You will lead the way for us, my sister will leave, and I will stay and help you until my sister has it."
I will leave after the spiritual stone or my salary is enough to pay... Town Chief, don't worry! I, Yun Bai, keep my word, you can find someone to supervise me, and the salary of the person who supervises me will also be included! I, Yun Bai,
Although he has no talent in martial arts, he is clever and clever..."
Seeing him selling himself to the old mayor, Zhang Baoer's eyes lit up and he said secretly: This kind of salesman is the most important. The key to doing business is to sell yourself. This person can think of such a method in such a short period of time.
, can be regarded as a talent.
So he coughed and interrupted both of them:
"Let's do this. I'll help you get the spirit stone. Yun... No, Li Bai! Li Bai, you will be my employee from now on!"
"staff?!"
Not only those three people, but also Yan Xin looked confused. They didn't know what the word "employee" meant.
Zhang Baoer was stunned for a moment, then explained with a smile:
"The purpose of my visit to Dawan Country, Li Kui, is to establish a chamber of commerce. Now we are short of manpower. These spirit stones will be deducted from your salary! How about that?!"
"no!"
Yun Bai was overjoyed, but before he could answer, Yun Zi denied it. She denied it firmly!
"Why?!"
Seeing this, Zhang Baoer suddenly became interested and wanted to hear why she rejected him, but... Although Yunzi's answer was unexpected, it also made him less interested, because she explained it like this:
"No means no!"
After glancing at Zhang Baoer, she turned to Yun Bai and said:
"Brother! Wait for me here, in a few days..."
However, at this point she couldn't go on because the old mayor had firmly rejected Yun Bai's proposal just now, and the spiritual stones on both of them were not enough to pay for a road guide. She calculated and found that even if
It's not enough to take out weapons and other items, not to mention that this kind of mortgage will be discounted...
"Eh..."
Yun Bai naturally thought of what she was thinking, touched her head lovingly, turned around and saluted Zhang Baoer:
"Yun Bai agreed, thank you sir!"
Zhang Baoer nodded and shouted to Yanxin behind him:
"Li Xin! Give fifty thousand spiritual stones to the old man!"
"yes!"
Yanxin came out again and put a lot of spirit stones on the table next to the old mayor. The table was almost full. The old mayor, the two young brothers and the two brothers Yun Ziyunbai suddenly
Realizing what he just said, the old mayor even exclaimed:
"Sir, you...is this?!"
Zhang Baoer smiled slightly, tapped the handrail with his fingers and said to the old mayor:
"I'm used to doing things right the first time. People in this town are talkative. Please ask the elderly to help me! Is that okay?!"
Upon hearing this, the old mayor's eyes lit up, he immediately stood up and replied firmly:
