It was still early, and Zhang Chi had no intention of going to bed now. He took out the map of Storm City and studied it carefully. He saw that the night market marked on the map was not far from the inn where he lived. Zhang Chi went out to ask the waiter. The night market is open all year round.
, it is always open for business, so Zhang Chi decided to go shopping.
The main purpose of his coming this time was to refine the elixir. Qin Junqing used the Concentrating Pill to blackmail him into cooperating, and made Kanli Dan in exchange for the Concentrating Pill in Qin Junqing's hands. Only in this way could Xiao Jiujiu be completely cured. Although he had reached an agreement with Qin Junqing,
But Zhang Chi also has his own plans. The nine spiritual ruins distributed in the human world are like enclaves in the heaven. Although they cannot be compared with the heaven, they are richer in spiritual energy than the outside world and can find a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
After exiting the gate of Mingfu Inn, he saw a familiar figure standing outside. Seeing him hiding in a hurry, Zhang Chi recognized that it was Huang Feixue, smiled and waved to her: "Feixue!"
Huang Feixue walked out from the corner on the right with a red face, holding a small bundle in her hand.
Zhang Chi said: "You came to see me?"
Huang Feixue nodded, then quickly shook her head, lowered her head and whispered: "Madam asked me to come... to serve you."
Thinking of Huang Feihong giving Huang Feixue to herself, Zhang Chi felt dumbfounded. In the eyes of this sworn sister, Huang Feixue was just a gift, just a commodity. There was no concept of equality for everyone in Netherworld Ruins, and Huang Feixue, who was a slave himself, did not have any
sense of resistance.
Huang Feixue said: "My dear friend, please don't drive me away. If you drive me away, my wife will send me out again."
Seeing her pitiful look, Zhang Chi couldn't bear to drive her away anymore, and said with a smile: "Who said I'm going to drive you away? Since my wife asked you to come, you can just follow me from now on."
"Hey!" Huang Feixue looked at Zhang Chi overjoyed, and finally agreed to accept her. As long as she could serve Zhang Chi, she didn't have too many extravagant expectations.
Zhang Chi said: "Please accompany me to the night market."
Huang Feixue was very happy. She left the package at the counter and walked with Zhang Chi towards the night market.
On the way, Huang Feixue told Zhang Chi that she is a mixed blood of the Shanman clan and the Black Yue clan. On this continent, mixed blood is the lowest. They will be considered unclean from birth and will be slaves from birth. Their fate
Usually they are very miserable, unless they meet a kind master. Huang Feixue thinks that her fate is good enough. When she was with Huang Feihong, she was always worried that she would give him to Dubeifeng. Now Huang Feihong changed his mind and gave her to Dubeifeng.
After Zhang Chi, the hero she admired in her heart already thought that he was favored by God.
Zhang Chi said: "Du Beifeng is the admiral of Storm City, why don't you want to follow him?"
Huang Feixue said: "No woman sent to the Admiral's Mansion can survive more than a month, and this man is so bad. He has killed so many innocent people. I hate him." She was afraid that Zhang Chi would change his mind: "My dear friend, you
You must not send me to him. I would rather work for my benefactor. If my benefactor insists on sending me there, I will die."
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "When did I say that I would give you to him? Feixue, you will be mine from now on and just follow me. But don't call me my benefactor, it sounds quite awkward."
Huang Feixue said: "Yes, Young Master!"
Zhang Chi originally wanted her to call him Brother Zhang, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. The more this happened, the more frightened Huang Feixue became. It was better to let her serve her as her master so that she could feel at ease.
It is not difficult to find the night market with Huang Feixue guiding the way. The night market is brightly lit, but although there are people coming and going, the whole night market is quiet and no one speaks. Huang Feixue tells Zhang Chi in a low voice that since Storm City was controlled by the Black Yuezhi, the entire city has been in chaos.
The hustle and bustle of the past has been lost. Even bargaining is done with gestures. No one dares to speak loudly. Now the Shanman clan calls the night market a ghost market. She asked Zhang Chi to speak as little as possible after entering the market. See
She will negotiate the price of whatever she wants.
Zhang Chi still had some gold coins. If he hadn't divided the gold coins into two parts in advance, they would have been looted by Cao Chengguang just now.
I walked around the night market and didn't find anyone selling alchemy furnaces. In terms of the richness of products, it is not as good as Guangming City.
Zhang Chi stopped at a knife stall. After the Black Yuezhi took control of Stormwind City, weapons were listed as a monopoly and were strictly managed by the Admiral's Office, so the knives sold here were all for kitchen use. Zhang Chi picked up a knife and looked at it.
The blade of the knife is good.
The stall owner who bought the knife stretched out four fingers to Zhang Chi, which meant four gold coins. Zhang Chi smiled and put down the kitchen knife. When he was about to leave, a lame man in ragged clothes also came to buy a knife. Zhang Chi glanced at the man
, only to discover that this person was actually Huang Qitai.
The last time Zhang Chi came to Netherworld Ruins, he met Huang Qitai. This man was the bodyguard of the Huang family business group. He even cheated Ji Chang once. Now that Huangfu Xiu has lost power, Huang Qitai naturally has no backers. Looking at how shabby he is dressed
You can tell by looking at me that your life is not going well now.
Huang Qitai compared with the stall owner for a long time, but still failed to buy the knife. He turned around and left with some disappointment. Zhang Chi threw two gold coins to the stall owner, took the knife that Huang Qitai had just chosen, and handed it to Huang Feixue.
She caught up and gave it to Huang Qitai.
Huang Qitai left the night market and limped forward when he suddenly heard someone following him. He turned around sensitively and saw a young girl chasing him with a kitchen knife. He couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Huang Feixue handed the handle of the knife to Huang Qitai according to Zhang Chi's instructions: "Mr. Qitai, my young master gave it to you."
Huang Qitai was stunned for a moment. The little girl actually called her name directly, and said with confusion: "Little girl, who is your young master? Do I know him?"
Huang Fei
The two gold coins for the kitchen knife were nothing in exchange for this amount of money in the past, but now he could only come up with one gold coin even if he searched all over his body, and he had wasted a long time just now and couldn't buy the knife.
Huang Qitai did not take the kitchen knife, and limped towards Zhang Chi. He came to Zhang Chi and said, "Young Master, I seem to have never seen you before."
Zhang Chi smiled calmly and said: "Mr. Huang, noble people tend to forget things. We did business in the past."
Huang Qitai searched his mind and still couldn't remember where he had seen Zhang Chi. He smiled bitterly and said: "I'm sorry, I really can't remember when we met."
Zhang Chi said: "Mr. Huang, if you have nothing to do, let's find a place to have a drink and I'll help you reminisce."
Huang Qitai hesitated for a moment, but curiosity still made him make a decision. He nodded and said: "There is a tavern in front of me. I..." He originally wanted to say that I would be the host, but now he was too tight on money, so he didn't.
Have the courage to say such things.
Zhang Chi said to Huang Feixue: "Feixue, please recommend a restaurant for us."
Huang Feixue said: "The Fengsha Restaurant at the intersection of Huajie Street is quite good."
Zhang Chi nodded and invited Huang Qitai to accompany him. Huang Qitai's leg was badly injured. He remembered that his leg was fine when he came here last time, but now he has become a cripple.
The reason why Huang Feixue recommends Fengsha Restaurant is very simple. This is also Huang Feihong's property, and Zhang Chi doesn't have to pay for eating here. Since he has recognized Zhang Chi as his master, he naturally has to be loyal to the master, and everything must be considered for the master and for his benefit.
First.
There are not many people coming to eat at this time, so Zhang Chi basically has no expectations for the food here. It's good if it's cooked well.
Huang Feixue helped him order a few special dishes, which were all served in small clay pots. The aroma was not bad, but at first glance, the dishes were all red in color.
The wine doesn't taste good either, it tastes spicy to my throat.
For Huang Qitai, it has been a long time since he had eaten such delicious food. Although he still hasn't recognized Zhang Chi, he was given a knife and invited to eat. Such good things are not easy to come across. Who cares?
Let’s fill our stomachs first.
Huang Qitai ate a few large pieces of meat, and then raised his wine glass to toast Zhang Chi. He also knew that it was a bit rude, but he couldn't help it. Who made me not know the taste of meat in March? To be exact, it has been three years.
You can basically judge a person's living conditions by looking at their eating habits. Zhang Chi concluded that Huang Qitai had been living in poverty all these years. Such a person actually wanted to spend money to buy a knife, which he would probably use to either commit suicide or commit mass murder.
Zhang Chi drank a glass of wine with Huang Qitai and said: "Mr. Huang, your legs..."
Huang Qitai sighed and said: "It's been five years, so don't mention it." He put down the wine glass, and the relaxed Huang Feixue who was waiting beside him helped him fill it up smoothly.
Huang Qitai looked at Zhang Chi and said, "What is your surname?"
Zhang Chi said: "My surname is Zhang."
Huang Qitai said in his heart that there are too many people with the surname Zhang. The people with the surname Zhang I know have eight hundred if not one thousand. This answer is too insincere. But thinking about how poor he is now, people probably treat him as a beggar.
I'm not interested in telling him his name.
Huang Qitai said: "Mr. Zhang, can you tell me where we met?"
Zhang Chi said: "Guangming City."
Huang Qitai tried hard to think about it but still couldn't remember it. He smiled bitterly and said: "I'm old and my memory is bad. I really can't remember it."
Zhang Chi said: "I remember that Mr. Huang was also a powerful figure in the business group."
Huang Qitai shook his head and whispered: "It's hard to look back on the past, Mr. Zhang, the current Storm City no longer has the surname Huangfu..."
Zhang Chi glanced at Huang Feixue, and Huang Feixue handed the kitchen knife to Huang Qitai.
Huang Qitai said: "Mr. Zhang, you invited me to dinner, how can I be embarrassed to accept your gift? It's too expensive."
Zhang Chi secretly laughed in his heart. Huang Qitai was so miserable. The kitchen knife bought with two gold coins was a valuable gift in his eyes. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Huang bought this kitchen knife to use it for robbery, right?"
Huang Qitai's old face turned red. This guy was too straightforward. He didn't want to lose face.
Huang Qitai said: "Huang has always abided by the law. How could he do such a thing? Master Zhang, please don't say that."
Zhang Chi asked: "Does that mean you want to kill someone?" Before Huang Qitai could answer, he shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be the case. With Mr. Huang's current skills, he is probably powerless."
Huang Qitai stuffed a mouthful of meat into his mouth, feeling angry in his heart. This guy invited me to dinner just to insult me? But what he said was the truth. Now he has no ability to kill anyone.
Zhang Chi said: "It's neither robbery nor murder, it's just suicide."
Huang Qitai choked on the big mouthful of meat and quickly patted his chest.
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Eat slowly, eat slowly, I won't compete with you."
Huang Qitai finally swallowed the piece of meat. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine. He sighed and said, "Master Zhang, please be kind to me." He realized that this guy most likely wanted to.
Humiliate yourself and cannot remember when you have offended him in the past.
Zhang Chi said: "Mr. Huang, don't get me wrong. I don't mean to humiliate you. It's just that seeing Mr. Huang's current state and thinking of your past glory is really embarrassing."
Huang Qitai was filled with anger. Why are you so miserable when I'm so poor? I'm so angry that I can eat meat again. At this time, the most rational thing for a person to do is to turn anger into appetite. If I can't kill you, I'll eat it.
Damn you.
Zhang Chi said: "There's something I don't understand. With Mr. Huang's talent, why should he stay in the city and suffer?"
Huang Qitai finally took the time to answer: "My spiritual energy has been disabled and my legs have been cut off. Where can I go?" His heart was full of sorrow. Zhang Chi was right. He bought the kitchen knife just to rob him. If he didn't rob, he would have no way to survive.
, if the robbery fails and you are fucked, then commit suicide, since you can no longer survive anyway.
Zhang Chi said: "Mr. Huang, please don't be offended. I don't mean to humiliate you at all. I just sympathize with your situation."
Huang Qitai said: "Thank you Mr. Zhang for your concern. There are thousands of people like me, and I can't sympathize with you." Huangfu Xiu was exiled, Storm City was under the control of the Black Moon Clan, and the entire Shanman Clan was reduced to
Being at the bottom, there are not many people like him struggling to survive.
"Mr. Huang should be quite familiar with Beihuang, right?"
Mentioning this matter, Huang Qitai said with pride: "I'm not exaggerating. Let alone the Northern Wilderness, I've traveled to almost every corner of the Netherworld Ruins except for the far north north of the Great Wall of Ice and Snow. Who can compare with me?"
I haven't seen anyone familiar with this continent." When he said this, he thought of his current predicament, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said: "A good man is not brave in the past, but I am just a loser now. I accept this gift from Mr. Zhang.
It's over." He reached for the kitchen knife on the table. Face was nothing, maybe this kitchen knife could help him live a few more days.
Zhang Chi said: "I have an errand, Mr. Huang, are you willing to do it?"
Huang Qitai looked at Zhang Chi and blinked, wondering what he meant by this. It took him a long time to understand, and whispered: "What kind of errand is Mr. Zhang talking about?"
