"It's so late, who is it?" Jiang Xingchen frowned, feeling a little wary in his heart. After all, he holds the secret recipe in his hands. Although Mo Hongxian has taken over and suppressed all the restaurants, who knows if he will take any risks.
He is very clear about the principle that people die for wealth and birds die for food.
Walking to the courtyard gate, Jiang Xingchen asked in a low voice through the courtyard door: "Who is it?"
"Master Jiangling, I'm from Chunxiang Tower and I want to discuss a business deal with you!" A man's voice came from outside the door.
"Isn't that the place where Mei'er does hard work?" When Jiang Xingchen heard that it was Chunxiang Tower, he became angry. The little girl worked hard all day and her hands were covered with scars, so she only gave her two copper coins!
"I don't have any business to discuss with you, please go back!" Jiang Xingchen said in a stiff tone, turned around and walked back.
The person outside the courtyard gate obviously refused to let it go, and his voice suddenly rose up: "Twenty topaz coins, your slave, I will give you twenty topaz coins!"
Jiang Xingchen's eyes narrowed, he turned around and opened the courtyard door, stepped out, and then closed the courtyard door with his backhand. He knew how sensitive the little girl was to the word slave, and of course he couldn't let the other party continue to yell.
There were three people standing outside the door. At the front was a middle-aged man with a smooth face, followed by two big men.
In a relatively distant place, Jiang Xingchen seemed to see a vague figure, which disappeared in a flash.
Seeing Jiang Xingchen coming out, the middle-aged man couldn't help but smile proudly and said: "Master Jiang, twenty yellow crystal coins is not a small amount, that is, our Chunxiang Tower..."
"Who are you calling a slave?" Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, Jiang Xingchen interrupted with a wave of his hand and asked with a cold face.
"Huh?" The middle-aged man was slightly startled. He originally thought that Jiang Xingchen must have agreed to the deal when he came out, but he never expected that the other party would ask such a question, and judging from his expression, he didn't mean to discuss business at all.
"That's the girl named Mei'er!" The middle-aged man answered along with Jiang Xingchen's question, and then started talking again.
However, before he could speak, he was stopped again by Jiang Xingchen: "I tell you, Mei'er is not a slave, she is my sister!"
"Sister!" The middle-aged man chuckled and said: "She doesn't even have an identity card. She is nothing but a slave... Young Master Jiangling, don't you just want to sell more? Well, I'll give you two more gold medals."
Crystal coins!”
Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Jiang Xingchen felt his heart shrink, as if he had been pinched: "There is no iron plate of identity. It turns out that the little girl has long known that she is a slave... What she has always cared about is me treating her."
It's just an attitude...it turns out that the little girl's heart is far less strong than her appearance..."
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xingchen stared at the middle-aged man and said solemnly: "I'll say it again, Mei'er is my sister and I won't sell it!" After saying that, he turned around and walked back.
The middle-aged man's expression suddenly darkened, and he sneered: "It's best not to be greedy! I call you Master Jiang to give you face, but you still think you are a noble... We know your current situation very well, we don't know this."
How long can you live in this house! It’s getting colder and colder. If you don’t want to freeze to death, it’s best..."
"Get out!" Jiang Xingchen suddenly turned around, stared at the middle-aged man and growled angrily. He had not had a good impression of Chunxiang Tower, but at this time the other party kept pestering him, making him unable to control his anger anymore.
As his emotions fluctuated, the countless energy springs in his brain shook violently. Under the bright moonlight, a clear ripple could be seen around his head.
The middle-aged man looked at this scene with eyes wide open. The anger caused by Jiang Xingchen's rude words dissipated in an instant, and he was stunned on the spot. Even the lowest commoners had heard of the strange phenomena that occurred after activating the Yuanquan.
"He actually activated the Yuanquan..." The middle-aged man broke into a cold sweat. After Jiang Xingchen activated the Yuanquan, he was no longer a commoner, but an aristocrat! And Chunxiang Tower was just a low-end laugh place in a civilian area, and he was just
He is just a rich man among the common people. If he comes up, he will use force. Once the security team is involved, the noble will be fine, but he, a commoner, will be miserable. At least a layer of his skin will be peeled off.
"Master Jiang!" The middle-aged man swallowed hard and bowed, his tone full of humility: "Just think of what I just said as farts. Don't..."
The other party's change was so fast that Jiang Xingchen didn't react for a moment. After a pause, he understood the reason in his heart. He couldn't help but be extremely surprised by the status of the noble: "This is just activating the Yuanquan. It doesn't have the right to have it."
The opponent has such a reaction, it seems that the nobles of the Qiankun Empire enjoy great privileges!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Xingchen felt secretly happy, and waved his hand with great force to interrupt the other party: "Get out of here, don't let me see you again!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." The middle-aged man and the two big men behind him responded repeatedly and were about to leave in a hurry, not daring to continue to pursue Mei'er's ideas.
But at this moment, a dozen figures suddenly rushed out from the dark shadow not far away, surrounded the three people, and kicked and punched them involuntarily. The screams and wails could be heard far away in the quiet night.
Many children from common people were so frightened that they cried loudly.
"Is this a crazy situation?" Jiang Xingchen was a little confused by this sudden change. When he realized what he was doing, he was about to run back to the courtyard. He had been guarding against the two big men since just now.
But as soon as he turned around, a thin young man in luxurious clothes stood behind him at some point, startling him.
"Master Jiang!" The thin young man had a flattering smile on his face, but Jiang Xingchen felt that he was vulgar.
However, when he felt that the other party had no ill intentions, he felt relieved. After thinking about it for a while, he knew why the other party was here!
"I don't seem to know you!" Jiang Xingchen said lightly.
"My dear, Sun Sanqiang, opened a small restaurant in the market outside the civilian area, called Xianxiangju! During the day, I was at the gate of the Bauhinia Mercenary Group, and I admired Master Jiang's craftsmanship very much!"
"Oh!" Jiang Xingchen said with a calm expression, "It's just a small recipe, not worth mentioning! And it won't belong to me anymore!"
After speaking, Jiang Xingchen nodded to Sun Sanqiang, bypassed him and entered the courtyard.
Sun Sanqiang didn't expect Jiang Xingchen to leave immediately. When he turned around, the courtyard door had slammed shut, and all the excuses he had prepared were useless.
"Young Master!" A big man walked up to Sun Sanqiang and whispered: "It's better not to guard Jiang Xingchen. If the Bauhinia Mercenary Group finds out, that woman Mo Hongxian..."
At the mention of Mo Hongxian, Sun Sanqiang couldn't help but shudder! But then he glared again and said: "I'm not plotting their secret recipe, so what if I know it?"
"If it's not for the secret recipe, then why are we here?" the big man asked subconsciously.
"Pa!" Sun Sanqiang slapped the big man on the neck and reprimanded: "You know nothing, I have found out clearly that the secret recipe Jiang Ling came up with was not one, but two... Since he can make two at will
There is a secret recipe, who knows if there is a third one that has something to do with him, there is no loss, as long as you don’t touch those two secret recipes, Mo Hongxian can’t be unreasonable!”
The big man looked sad, rubbed his neck and complimented: "Yes, yes, the young master has thought carefully!"
"Hey!" Sun Sanqiang sighed softly, looking at the group of big men who were still beating the three people in Chunxiang Tower, and said regretfully: "What a great opportunity! I just didn't expect Jiang Ling to activate Yuanquan, otherwise he would owe me today
It’s a favor!”
After waving, Sun Sanqiang shouted: "Bring them here!"
A dozen big men stopped and grabbed the legs of the three of them as if they were dragging them to death. They came to Sun Sanqiang.
At this time, the three of them were almost unrecognizable as human beings. Their whole bodies were limp, their faces were swollen as if they had blown air, and their humming sounds were softer than mosquitoes.
"Could it be that the beating was a little harsh?" Sun Sanqiang frowned.
"Don't worry, young master, it's just a flesh wound, you won't die!" The big man bowed and replied.
"not heavy?"
“Absolutely not heavy!”
"That means it's not in place yet!" Sun Sanqiang took a step forward, raised his foot and stepped on the middle-aged man's face, stomping on it while scolding: "I let you get scared so early, I let you affect my plan, you are so numb
Hun Dan, if you are a little tougher, I will have a relationship with Jiang Ling..."
The big man next to him was sweating profusely. He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Sun Sanqiang: "Master, it's really serious this time. I'll kill someone again!"
"Yes, young master, they were shouting so loud just now, the security team will be here soon!"
"Hoo~" Sun Sanqiang stopped, exhaled, clapped his hands, and said: "Take them to see a doctor, and then give them some money... Say hello to everyone, Master Jiangling, be careful here, don't mess with me.
Basket!"
Soon, a large group of people carried the three pig-headed men and disappeared without a trace...
In the yard, Jiang Xingchen scratched his head. He came up with two secret recipes. Although he changed his life situation in one fell swoop, subsequent problems also followed. Although Sun Sanqiang had no ill intentions and even tried to please himself, he found it after all. Today
He could leave without giving Sun Sanqiang a chance to speak, but who knows if someone with more courage will come to him in the future. It seems that Mo Hongxian can't shock everyone.
"You really have to work hard to improve your status. The status of a small noble with no background is not safe... However, I can't practice martial arts... I don't know the function of the sensitive array yet..." There were all kinds of thoughts in Jiang's mind.
Xingchen was also a little dizzy.
"Forget it, I don't want to anymore!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head vigorously and strode into the room.
In the room, Meier was wrapped in a quilt with her face facing inward, breathing evenly.
"Asleep! Fortunately, this little girl is very tired today, otherwise the noise like killing a pig just now will definitely wake her up! When she heard that Chunxianglou came to buy her, the little girl didn't know what to do..."
Walking to the bed, Jiang Xingchen tucked Meier under the quilt, then turned around and blew out the oil lamp on the wall before lying down to sleep.
But he didn't notice that just when the oil lamp went out, Meier's little face showed a flower-like smile. At this time, her brother's words just outside the courtyard kept echoing in her mind: "Meier is not
