Chapter 228 Great Qi Swordsman
After eating, Jiang Luoning locked herself in the room, not knowing what she was doing.
Xu Ming had nothing to do and was pacing back and forth in the courtyard for the first time. He didn't want this sword intention. He could give it to others at any time as long as he wanted.
This is the real highlight of this trip.
Why was Wang Quandong so easily fooled? After all, this young master had seen too much, so he was convinced that even if there were good things in Zhongqing Mountain, they would never be much better.
So when Xu Ming took out the Mingyue Knife, he was actually a little surprised. This knife had exceeded his expectations and it was a huge profit.
Precisely because of these two weapons, the suspicion can be eliminated. Now they are the only two people in Beihuang City who know about this greatest opportunity.
After all, Wang Quandong arrived too slowly. If he had come to the door that day, he would have noticed the strong sword intent.
This thing is not a hot potato. After learning from the experience last night that he could be persuaded by just a few words, Xu Ming found that although Jiang Luoning was a bit stubborn, if he could be convinced by some reasoning, he would be easily pulled back.
Xu Ming really has no interest in this kind of sword intent. It's not like he's ungrateful and just wants to give it to me. I'm so generous, how about it?
But there's no rush, it looks like Jiang Luoning will stay in the city for a while.
But after this girl leaves, he is probably about to leave Beihuang City. Then he will first go to Beiguan to take a look, and then go south.
At the end of the day, the sun is shining high, which is one of the most scorching times of the day. Xu Ming, who has practiced martial arts at this time, knows this well.
There is still some time before the four-quarter mark that Wang Quandong mentioned, but we still have to calculate and walk there, so we have to start early.
Xu Ming knocked on the door and said, "It's time to go."
Jiang Luoning in the room sighed, got off the bed, and opened the door.
The two of them straightened up a little, then walked out of the hospital gate and walked side by side on the street.
Maybe it was to hide the eyes and ears of others, or maybe it was just to block the sun. Anyway, Jiang Luo was wearing a bamboo hat, covering half of his face.
In contrast, Xu Ming is open and generous, with brisk steps and a smile on his face. Now the neighbors no longer dare to provoke this young man in green shirt.
So many things have happened one after another, even a not very smart person can see that this young man is no longer what he used to be.
After three days of separation, everyone looked at each other with admiration, but now, no one even dared to take another look.
As for whether they hated him or admired him in their hearts, Xu Ming didn't care.
It would be better if no one cares about it like it is now, to keep it clean.
Jiang Luoning was a little confused, why were the people around her looking at them with evasive eyes, including all kinds of emotions, mixed feelings.
"What kind of evil deeds have you done to make everyone treat you like this?" Jiang Luoning said softly.
Although she said it, the girl's tone clearly didn't think that the guy next to her would really do anything outrageous.
Xu Ming sneered and for the first time did not respond directly. He gave a vague answer: "It's human nature, I don't care."
Seeing that he didn't want to answer, Jiang Luoning stopped asking any more questions.
Mingfeng Restaurant is not located on this small piece of land in the southwest of Beihuang City, but is located in the center of the city, which is the main source of income for the entire city.
Although he has lived here for three years, Xu Ming has never visited this city much. For example, he has only been to the Mingfeng Restaurant where he wants to go twice.
It was very prosperous there, something a country bumpkin like him couldn't even imagine before then.
I used to feel that although I was born in a mountain village, my family practiced medicine and made a lot of money. I was a wealthy family in the village.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to buy a house here. It was only when he saw the shops in that place that he realized that his money was worthless!
"Actually, I can handle this matter myself. There's nothing to do if I come here." Xu Ming stretched out and said quietly.
Jiang Luoning looked around, as if admiring the scenery along the way: "Although what you said yesterday was very beautiful, in the final analysis, you still go to do things for me, and I still have to watch you, lest you are weak and go there to help others.
Bully."
"Besides, although you are a doctor, you are just a layman when it comes to the miraculous elixirs refined by Taoist masters."
Xu Ming scratched his head and said helplessly: "After saying so much, are you afraid that I will be deceived and give you the wrong medicine later?"
The corners of Jiang Luoning's mouth were slightly raised, noncommittal.
Xu Ming suddenly became a little listless, "Why do you think you don't quite believe in Wang Quandong's character?"
"You are well-informed. I can't deceive others, but I can't deceive you either."
"Why should I trust a stranger who I've only met twice and is not even a friend?" Jiang Luoning looked at him as if he were a fool.
Xu Ming shrugged, realizing that he couldn't speak, so he simply shut up.
For a long period of time after that, both of them were silent, not even trying to find something to say.
Just like everyone looks at their own thing, if you find something interesting, look at it more often, and also take a look at the interesting things.
Anyway, it’s still a long time before the appointment, so there’s no rush.
After all, Beihuang City is still a small border town. Even if the Nanyan Pass further north is breached, it is estimated that only a small number of Beimang Iron Cavalry will come here.
The most important force still needs to spread southward.
Beihuang City occupies a small area, and the surrounding terrain cannot be said to have any advantages. It would not be surprising even if Beimang directly bypasses the city and goes south.
In Bei Mang's eyes, this city is probably a legless lamb. If we capture the surrounding areas, the city will be self-defeating.
Beihuang City is too small to shake Beimang's army.
But why does the city lord or the county guard still want to take refuge south?
The reason is simpler.
In the officialdom, if you climb to your current position step by step and enjoy the glory and wealth, you will be reluctant to die.
So even if he knew that Beimang might simply ignore Beihuang, the governor still had to leave this place at all costs.
Even the Lishui City in the south is more valuable than Beihuang City.
Mingfeng Restaurant is one of the Wang family's properties, and it is now one of the largest restaurants in Beihuang City.
Xu Ming heard someone boast that the price of one dish is enough for an ordinary person to live for more than half a month.
Before this, Xu Ming was still skeptical, but when he actually arrived, he realized that it was not an exaggeration at all.
When the two of them just walked into the magnificent restaurant, before Xu Ming could take a look around, a waiter in the distance who wanted to come over to greet the guests was stopped by a man in a black coat, who stepped forward in person.
"Is this Mr. Xu? Please come with me."
The two of them followed the man in black and turned towards the stairs, going straight to the ninth floor.
On the top floor of Mingfeng Restaurant, there is a viewing platform specially designed for Wang Quandong.
This restaurant is the property of the Wang family, and it is also managed by the young master of the Wang family.
Mingfeng Restaurant has a total of nine floors and a height of 20 feet. It is already one of the tallest buildings in Beihuang City.
Standing here, you can overlook the scenery of the whole city. The summer wind blowing in your face is not hot at all and is very refreshing.
At this time, Wang Quandong was holding an exquisite white jade wine glass containing precious wine in his hand, his face was as usual, and he was in a state of mind.
"Master, Mr. Xu is downstairs now, and the fourth child has been brought up." Someone came in softly from outside and said respectfully.
Hearing this, Wang Quandong turned around: "Very good, you can go down."
"Yes!" The man turned and left, not forgetting to close the door gently before leaving.
At this time, Xu Ming had already reached the ninth floor and was led outside the door.
"You two, the young master is inside, I'll get off first." The man in black cupped his hands, lowered his head and left.
As Xu Ming opened the door, he did not forget to joke: "Sure enough, reincarnation is also a technical job, which determines the starting point of this life. No matter how poor this kid is, won't he live a prosperous life in the future?"
These words were just heard by Wang Quandong, who came up with a smile and was ready to greet them, with a stiff expression on his face.
Xu Ming didn't feel restrained, and he didn't think it was a big deal if others heard his words. He said with a smile: "Brother Wang, we meet again."
Wang Quandong came back to his senses, bowed his hands, and glanced at Jiang Luoning who was following behind him silently. His eyelids twitched slightly but he said nothing.
"I said Brother Xu would definitely come, but I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be willing to come too."
Xu Ming laughed heartily: "Stop talking about these vain things, let's talk about business, right?"
