Chapter 36: The Lord
He whistled happily, then put the money in his pocket, and walked towards the exit of the alley with his hands.
As for the kidnapped girl... what kind of financial dispute is it? Since the man is so generous, it seems that he is just reluctant to give up the little ransom. If he doesn't show up at that time... Hahaha, he has to pay the money obediently.
Money, money is just used. Don’t be too stingy. He pretended to comfort himself in his heart, stretched his body, and began to think about where to go for a while.
Then a figure suddenly jumped off the roof of the house next to him and was falling in front of him, splashing a large piece of snowflakes.
The young man was startled and looked at him carefully: the visitor was not old... even younger than himself. He was tidying his hair, wearing a black windbreaker, staring at him coldly.
Well... I met someone who robbed me? He was happy in his heart.
However, the other party's next words made him unhappy: "Are you Seraph?"
The visitor squinted his eyes, his face full of jokes and mockery, and he was in his pocket with both hands, as if he had just asked "when is now."
He was slightly shocked - he heard the conversation with the man before? What is this guy's origin? He looked at the other person a few more times and suddenly realized - wasn't this the young man who walked into the restaurant and ordered two trays of buns?
But the other party had already gone further before he could answer: "What did he say to you on the phone just now?"
The young man couldn't help but follow this step and retreated. Then he smiled and said, "My friend is also a capable person? He is short of money? It just so happens that we have half of the meeting. Here I..."
However, the other party grabbed his collar, and an incredible force came from his arm, lifting him up and pressing him on the red brick wall next to him. The previous joke was gone without a trace, replaced by an angry look on his face: "Say!"
This collision hit all his next words into his mouth. He also secretly cried in his heart: It's not good...
With such a great power... I also know that "Serraine" is not a capable person, what else can it be? - It seems that it is still much stronger than myself.
So he quickly spread his hands and squeezed a smile on his face: "My name is Yu Ziqing, what do you call me brother? Look, I'll tell you my real name... How about putting me down first? Don't be so angry..."
However, the other party did not buy his account: "Listen, I want to save people. It is to save the daughter of the person you deceived. Now you are delaying time with me - if I arrive later, I find that I will go late..." The last word was squeezed out from his teeth. His handsome face was ferocious and distorted, as if he would strangle him to death here in the next moment.
And with this sentence, Yu Ziqing heard a slight and dense, crisp sound coming from under his neck.
He tried to look down, then took a breath, stunned...
The hand holding his collar... was covered with a layer of real white scales with cold and cold light on the edges!
He blinked, sure that he had read it correctly, and then said, "You...you are...you..."
"Say!" The other party roared in his ear again.
So he immediately poured beans like a bamboo tube: "He called me just now and said he had made an appointment to meet with those people in the same place and asked me to go with him to rescue his daughter while they were not paying attention-"
The young man glared at him viciously before letting go. Yu Ziqing fell from the wall, first took a few breaths, and then tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "Ah... Since you took action personally, I'll... I'll..."
As he said, he walked along the corner of the wall to the alley. However, the other party grabbed his neck: "Just go with him as he said."
Yu Ziqing cried and said, "I'll go? If the fight really starts..."
"Aren't you a capable person too?" the other party snorted coldly, "Is your hand full of scales and light fake?"
Yu Ziqing felt that he was about to cry: "My light... do you know the boss of the fireflies?"
"Where is the scale?"
"Don't there be small scales on the insect's wings? That's useless...!" He clasped his hands and bowed, "Boss, you can do it - let me go, I just want to cheat a few dollars to spend it."
However, the other party pushed him: "Stop talking nonsense, follow me!"

Fifteen minutes later, Li Zhen took Yu Ziqing into a dress shop.
It was already 8:50 pm and the owner was about to close. But Li Zhen took out two ten-yuan gold coins from Yu Ziqing's pocket and gave them to the owner: "We have something urgent, please make peace."
The money was in vain... Then it didn't matter if you were dozens of minutes at night. So the owner reopened the lock on the glass door, greeted the two of them, and asked, "Do you want a gift or a suit?"
Li Zhen strode in: "Let's take a look at Yidao."
When it comes to ceremonial outfits, suits, and ceremonial knives, we have to talk about the history of the empire.
Hundreds of years ago, the Empire was once one of the most powerful countries in the world. However, with the rapid development of technology in the Western world and the advent of the Age of Discovery, the proud empires discovered that the civilization they were proud of had gradually lagged behind the world trend.
At the beginning of the 16th century, the East India companies of Britain, the Netherlands and France were established one after another, and the expeditionary fleets arrived on the coast of China one after another, and the Dutch once occupied Taiwan. Such an international situation made the imperial emperors at that time clearly realize that if China continued to follow the old path, it would soon lose its position as the overlord of East Asia.
So in the following period, the empire carried out a series of reforms - some failed and some succeeded. But in any case, the empire eventually accepted the advanced scientific concepts of the West and set off a "Western Affairs Movement".
The Westernization Movement indirectly promoted the development of private capital and brought Western customs into the inland China. Many wealthy merchants wore Western dresses, and because of the increasing west wind, these foreign clothing soon became popular in China.
However, the scholar-official class believed that this might cause the Chinese to lose their traditional culture, so they later formulated a law on clothing.
This law stipulates that people should wear "ritual outfits" in formal and important occasions. The so-called ritual outfits, today, are improved and more suitable for the ancient costumes of the industrial era that will come later.
The cuffs were narrowed, the hem was shortened, the fabric was changed, and the characteristics of Western formal wear were absorbed, making the ceremonial wear more integrated and appropriate on the basis of retaining the ancient costume style.
In order not to lose fighting spirit and bloodiness in the increasingly comfortable life, according to the Tang system, it is stipulated that when wearing etiquette, you should wear a "ritual knife".
However, this yi knife was not a yi knife from the Tang Dynasty, but a "yi knife" about three feet long, with cast iron and silver plated, similar to the "Tang sword".
Even though the times have developed to this day and the provisions of the feudal era have lost their legal effect, this custom has been passed down.
Therefore, in a dress shop, there are two categories of dresses - "god suit" and "suit".
What Li Zhen wants is the "Yi Dao" sold here.================================================================================================================
