Chapter 9 Honesty

Chen Yi had already bought these limes, one of which was stored in storage space for later use. This inspiration was obtained from Wei Xiaobao, the protagonist in the original work.

Like Wei Xiaobao, Chen Yi doesn’t think that sprinkling lime is a despicable thing. Fists, swords, and lime are all things that hurt people. What’s the difference in essence?

What's more, he just used it to save his life as a last resort.

In fact, in Shen Yi's storage space, there are all kinds of poisons, ropes, hidden weapons, etc., and there are a lot of inventory, just for emergencies.

Sure enough, this time I used it.

"Despicable! Shameless! You are a person in the world!"

The thin man in black rubbed his eyes while roaring angrily.

"It's you!"

Geng Jingzhong, who had been shocked, came to his senses only now. After seeing Chen Yi's face clearly, he was immediately surprised.

Chen Yi ignored him, but directly resisted him on his shoulders, took out a pot of sesame oil, and quietly threw it at the feet of the thin man in black who was scratching randomly, and said at the same time: "You thieves dare to kidnap good people, such lawless people, and still hope that I will tell you about the morality of the world?"

The thin man in black was stunned when he heard this, thinking that Chen Yi did not know Geng Jingzhong's identity and misunderstood his three brothers as criminals and kidnapped good people, so he would rescue him.

For a moment, all the anger turned into laughter and crying bitterness, and he explained: "Little brother, you misunderstood..."

Chen Yi pretended not to know Geng Jingzhong, and at the same time he didn't want to really hurt this anti-Qing righteous man, so he deliberately said that. How could he give the other party a chance to explain?

Before the thin man in black finished speaking, his figure had already escaped from the ruined temple, leaving a sentence: "Hey, why did my sesame oil fall off! Forget it, withdraw!"

The thin man in black was stunned immediately, bent down and fumbled carefully, then he touched a copper pot, opened the lid and reached out to dip a little something inside, put it between his nose and sniffed it, it turned out to be fragrant oil.

"Oh, this little brother is also a kind person. He has clearly regarded me as a thief, but he still doesn't want to hurt my eyes, so he deliberately left a pot of sesame oil. But he can't blame him. It's just that fortune is so good that he can make such a mess. It's really...ah!"

The thin man in black quickly washed his eyes with sesame oil. After a while, he felt much more comfortable. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, becoming more and more sure of his previous guess.

...

Chen Yi carried Geng Jingzhong instead of going back to the inn directly, but ran in one direction.

He was trying to avoid hitting the two masked men when he went back, and that would be a waste of money.

Both of them were above him, and they could not beat either, let alone two.

"Little brother, where are you taking me?"

Geng Jingzhong did not have this IQ. Seeing that the route was wrong, he immediately said anxiously.

"Brother, don't panic..."

Chen Yi explained the reason to him, and then he suddenly realized.

"We'll find a place to hide for a while, and then go back to the inn to find your guards."

"My little brother is extremely wise and has excellent martial arts skills. He is much better than those idiot guards! I have always trusted them so much... This time, I really thank you for saving your life, but I don't know your name, your surname is Gao?"

Geng Jingzhong was at the siege and couldn't help but feel the joy of surviving the disaster. The gangster was so cruel that he hurt people without saying a word, which made him extremely frightened. At the same time, he was inevitably dissatisfied with his group of hygiene protection.

Chen Yi said, "I have to blame me. If I hadn't invited my brother's guards to drink, I might not have been like this. So I wouldn't have been able to thank me. This time I would have thought it was a punishment for the merits and I would have to ask my brother to not behaved."

What he said made Geng Jingzhong admire him even more - Look, what a kind little brother, who saved my life, even said it was his own fault! If it were my guards, wouldn't they all take credit and crazy?

"Brother, this is a bad thing! I was allowed to drink at that time. If I were to say something wrong, it was also my own fault!" Geng Jingzhong was moved and spoke a little more sincerely. "Brother, have you not mentioned your name of Gao yet?"

"I dare not take it. My surname is Chen and his name is Linfeng. I am just an unknown young man who is wandering around the world. Haven't you asked for advice?" Chen Yi said in a modest tone, but he called him a pseudonym again.

"Brother Yu's surname is Geng." Geng Jingzhong also took a scruple and did not immediately explain his identity, but he didn't know that Chen Yi was just pretending not to know.

Immediately afterwards, he thought of what Chen Yi said about "the world of wanderings", and his heart moved.

"Brother, you are so young and have this skill, why worry about not being famous all over the world in the future? If your brother does not abandon you, I would like to ask your brother to serve as a guard... your monthly salary is 300... No, 500 taels of silver!"

The salary of the first-rank official in the dynasty on the surface was only 2300 taels, and it was only one year. Geng Jingzhong opened his mouth and paid Chen Yi a monthly salary of 500 taels. It was already his emotions that he gave an outrageously high price!

It should be noted that the two master guards each have a monthly salary of only fifty taels! There is a full ten times the gap between them.

"This! What kind of virtue can I do to make Brother Geng take so seriously!" Chen Yi immediately showed an excited look of a soldier dying for his confidant, as if he was moved by Geng Jingzhong's sincerity. "Since that's the case, I'm willing to protect Brother Geng from now on! However, 500 taels per month is too high, I can't afford it. Twenty taels per month is enough for the expense..."

His repeated humility was so touched Geng Jingzhong's heart to the extreme - this little brother is so real! I have only heard of someone asking for a salary increase, so where did anyone take the initiative to ask for a salary decrease? If it were his own guards...

After such comparison, Geng Jingzhong only felt that his guards who usually shouted loyalty were not as good as Chen Yi's little finger, and he couldn't help but feel more and more determined: "No! Brother Yu said nothing, since he said five hundred taels, it must be five hundred taels, and no one can be missing! If Brother Chen refuses again, then he will look down on this prince!"

"Okay, since Brother Geng has said that, I have to refuse it." Chen Yi said this as if he had no choice but to show surprise on his face, and turned his head to look at Geng Jingzhong on his shoulders, "Hey, Brother Geng said... the prince?"

"Hahaha! Since Brother Chen is my own person now, I will no longer hide it from you as my brother. I am the prince of the King of Jingnan, Fujian, Geng Jingzhong!" Geng Jingzhong said proudly.

Chen Yi was "shocked" and then suddenly said, "No wonder I felt noble as soon as I saw Brother Geng... No, when I saw Your Highness, I felt extremely noble. It turned out to be the prince of King Jingnan! Please forgive me for the inconvenience at this time, so it is difficult to salute Your Highness!"

"It's okay, we can be called to each other in private in the future. You will save your life!"

"I dare not, how can I be so arrogant..."

The two talked all the way, and Chen Yi deliberately praised Geng Jingzhong so much that he almost forgot to escape, and he had already attracted him as his confidant.
