The waiter's face froze for an instant, and everyone watching the show suddenly changed their expressions. They all stood up and left the inn. They all knew who the owner of the inn was. I'm afraid this kid wouldn't survive today. If they didn't want to
If you cause trouble, it's best to leave quickly.
Yan Ting smiled lightly, glanced at the people leaving, and then stared at the waiter. Suddenly, they were the only two people left on the huge second floor.
The waiter obviously noticed something was wrong and clapped his hands in the air. Immediately, a dozen thugs heard the sound and rushed up to the second floor, surrounding Yan Ting.
"Hey, what are you doing? I didn't say I wouldn't give you money." Yan Ting counted the space rings, took out a large bag of gold coins, put them in his hand, and then threw them on the table.
"One thousand gold coins, as much or as little as you like, it's right here. If you can afford it, I'll give you another ten thousand. If you can't afford it, I'll cut off your hand." Yan Ting showed a harmless smile, but at that
From the waiter's perspective, this smile was particularly cold and forbidding.
"Are the guests deliberately trying to cause trouble?" the waiter said coldly.
"You said it was..." Yan Ting whispered: "That's it."
As soon as he said this, the waiter sneered, shook his head, waved his hand and said, "In that case, you should entertain him well."
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people rushed forward. Yan Ting's eyes were as calm as water, and he dodged slightly to avoid one person's fist. He reached out and grabbed the hair of the person in front of him and smashed it directly on the table.
The thug with the late Earth Yuan realm cultivation was unable to fight back under Yan Ting's hand, and his head smashed through the table. Yan Ting raised his foot and hit his head through the table, instantly knocking him down to the second floor.
Behind them, the fists containing vitality of the two people hit Yan Ting on the back of the head. Yan Ting slapped their wrists with a backhand. Their wrists felt like they were hit by hammers, and they lost all their strength in an instant. Following two blows,
With painful screams, the two of them were kicked out of the inn by Yan Ting's palm.
The waiter looked panicked, pointed at Yan Ting and shouted: "Catch him, quickly!"
Four more two-inch thick iron bars came out of the hands of the four thugs, and they hit Yan Ting's head hard. Yan Ting sneered, waved one hand, and easily grabbed an iron bar in his hand. He backhanded
It was smashed out, directly breaking the iron bars of the other three people. Under the huge shock force, the three people's jaws cracked, their five fingers completely lost consciousness, and they were dripping with blood. They howled and trembled and retreated.
Such a simple and domineering attack had a soul-shattering effect. He defeated seven people in a row, and the remaining thugs did not dare to move forward. They all gathered around, neither advancing nor retreating.
Yan Ting grabbed the bag of gold coins, stood in front of the waiter, whose feet were already shaking, stretched out his hand, and said expressionlessly: "Take it."
"Guest...guest...I...I..." The waiter still had the courage to stretch out his hand. He knew that he had been kicked on the iron plate today. Who could have imagined that the young man in front of him who was not yet 18 years old had such strength.
He was so tyrannical that more than a dozen late-stage Earth Yuan realms were easily killed in front of him.
He can only place all his hopes on his boss now. As a master of the Tianyuan realm, the boss should be able to stop this person.
"I said... take it." Yan Ting said indifferently.
The waiter was so frightened that he trembled, his eyes were blurred, and his gums were trembling. His hand was slowly raised like a zombie, and then stretched out extremely slowly.
"Wait!"
A voice broke the solid space, and the waiter turned around with relief. A middle-aged man stood in the stairwell and shouted loudly to Yan Ting.
Yan Ting turned his head slightly, his eyes were cold. When the middle-aged man saw Yan Ting, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his mood was extremely cold. He had seen the scene just now. Yan Ting easily swept away seven thugs by himself. Even he couldn't do it.
It can be seen that this young man's strength is very likely to be higher than his. At the same time, he is also secretly cursing this short-sighted thing in his heart. He has been busy all day long and has not helped much, but has caused a lot of trouble.
"Who are you?" Yan Ting asked in a cold voice.
The middle-aged man walked up with a smile on his face, slightly cupped his hands towards Yan Ting and said: "I am the owner of this inn. Please tell me how my blind guy offended the guests. Please tell me clearly so that I can punish him."
.”
Yan Ting frowned and looked at the middle-aged man, and suddenly sneered: "Why did you provoke me? Didn't you see that you like to ask idiotic questions so much, is it interesting?"
The middle-aged man's expression changed. He had indeed been hiding under the stairs just now and watching, but he didn't expect that Yan Ting's sensitivity was so high that he had already known that he had been paying attention.
"You are the innkeeper, so can I think that he did these things with your instructions?" Yan Ting's tone suddenly dropped, he grabbed the gold coin in front of the middle-aged man, and said coldly: "In that case,
Why don't you try...if you can pick up this gold coin."
The middle-aged man's face was twitching and he was sweating like rain. He smiled bitterly and said: "Guests really like to joke. This meal is my invitation."
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he kicked the waiter. As a person in the Tianyuan realm, this kick was so powerful that he kicked the waiter several feet away and shouted loudly: "You're blind.
Your dog eyes, do you want to die if you don’t tell the chef to make some delicious food?"
The waiter was kicked so hard that he didn't dare to fart, so he quickly struggled to get up and left the second floor.
The middle-aged man panted slightly and said with a smile: "Guest, I'm really sorry today. We have to do these things because we have no choice. I hope that the guest will not remember the villain's fault and let us go this time."
"Let it go?" Yan Ting raised his brows, put away the gold coins, then picked up an iron rod broken into two pieces on the ground, put it on the middle-aged man's shoulder, and said indifferently: "You should have done this kind of thing often.
Well, those people who have been tricked by you, have you let them go? I met them today. You are unlucky. Your cultivation should be at the second level Tianyuan realm. I will give you a chance. I will use this iron rod.
If you don’t die if I knock you, I won’t care.”
The middle-aged man's face turned pale. He swallowed and begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Guest...Guest, I really can't bear it. Although I have cultivation, I'm not strong. If the guest comes down with this stick, I won't be able to bear it."
If you are lucky enough to survive, you will become disabled in this life. Please be merciful to the guests... be merciful..."
Yan Ting narrowed his eyes slightly, put the iron rod against the middle-aged man's chin, raised his head, and suddenly sneered and said: "Be lenient, let's see if you are sincere enough."
The middle-aged man looked like he was surviving a disaster and asked carefully: "What does the guest mean..."
"I'm going to ask you a few questions. If you answer them truthfully, if you tell a lie, this stick will fall on your head. I bet you won't be able to open it, and at most it will break a hole."
Hearing Yan Ting's "funny and humorous" language, the middle-aged man felt like crying but could only nod his head wildly, indicating that he must tell everything he knew.
Yan Ting put down the iron rod, picked up a stool and sat down. The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat on his face and wanted to find a stool to sit on. Yan Ting hummed, and the middle-aged man jumped up in fright.
"Did I let you sit down?" Yan Ting stared at the middle-aged man and asked.
"I didn't sit down... I didn't sit down... If the guests have any questions, just ask them. I will tell you everything I know." The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly.
I think he is in the Tianyuan realm. Although he is not a master in this city of Beimo, no one within a radius of twenty miles knows his name. Today, he was frightened like this by a child. If this spreads out, I guess he will be there.
There is no way to survive in Beimo City.
"How long has your inn been open?" Yan Ting asked the first question.
The middle-aged man stared dumbly, as if doubting his hearing. He didn't know why Yan Ting asked this question.
"Do you want me to repeat it?" Yan Ting said expressionlessly.
"Oh... no, no, no, this inn... I have been running this inn for nearly thirty years, ever since my father came to Beimo City." The middle-aged man shook his head quickly, as if he was afraid that if he took a step slower, the stick would
Just knocked it up.
Yan Ting let out a sigh of regret, and then said to himself: "Thirty years... Then you must have tricked a lot of people in these years. You have drunk a few bottles of wine and become like this. How dare you sell vegetables at such a high price?"
?”
"The guests don't know. It's not that our family sells at such a high price, but that many inns in Beimo City raise their prices, but generally they don't deceive locals, but get some profit from outsiders."
The middle-aged man replied with a bitter look on his face.
"Liar to an outsider?" Yan Ting frowned slightly. He suddenly remembered that the waiter asked him if he was from outside the country at the beginning. Is this the reason?
"Even if you are from out of town, you wouldn't do such an unscrupulous thing, right? Why, outsiders have tied up your woman, and you are going to do this to them. I hate profiteers the most in my life, especially those who lied to me. You
It’s like a collision…”
"No, no, guest, listen to me, we are doing this all because of the bad environment and we are forced to do this." The middle-aged man reached out to comfort Yan Ting, but he pushed him away with one hand.
The middle-aged man flew several feet away, shocked in his heart. Only then did he realize that he was right not to deepen the conflict with Yan Ting. If a fight really broke out, it would be impossible for him to save the inn.
Yan Ting pushed the middle-aged man away, curled his lips, and coldly snorted: "What are you being forced to do? Tell me clearly."
The middle-aged man stood up from the ground, walked to Yan Ting with a frown on his face, and told him about the situation in the Qidu Desert.
"The Qidu Desert is now rampant with bandits and chaos, and everyone is in danger, but this was not the case more than thirty years ago. At that time, although the Qidu Desert was far less fertile than other areas, the order had always been stable, and people living in the north were in danger.
The people in Mocheng and other cities live and work in peace and contentment with simple folk customs, relying on small business and foreign trade to make money to support their families. Although the environmental conditions are difficult, their lives are still nourishing and free."
"My father also moved to Beimo City at that time, opened an inn, and got along well with the neighbors. But since one day a group of robbers came to Beimo City, everything changed..."
When the middle-aged man thought of that day more than thirty years ago, his face stiffened unconsciously, with a bitter look on his face.
"That group of robbers heard that they robbed the treasures from Tianyuan City that were supplied to the Imperial City, and then fled all the way here. They killed people like crazy and were ruthless. In just two days, they made Beimo City into a state of chaos. If it wasn't for
There is news that the army is coming, and they have gone deep into the desert to escape. It is estimated that the weather will change in Beimo City at that time."
"Since then, nearly a hundred bandits and thugs have fled into the Qidu Desert almost every year. Most of them have committed serious crimes and came here to avoid pursuit in order to escape the death penalty. Because the Qidu Desert
The environment is harsh, and large-scale raids by the army require huge logistics. Some people in the imperial city believe that it is not worth spending so much money for a few hundred gangsters, so they have never put it into practice. The accumulation year by year has led to the current situation.
Today's Qidu Desert is in chaos and bandits are rampant. Their influx has directly disrupted the lives of the residents of the desert city. From time to time they rush into the city to loot their homes, burn, kill and loot. Now everyone is in danger. Many people come from the desert.
Moved out."
Yan Ting listened to the middle-aged man's story and asked doubtfully: "Since you can move out, why don't you leave?"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "I have lived here for thirty years, and I am really reluctant to leave. Besides, there are mercenary groups stationed in almost every city now. If they really encounter a large-scale robber, they will
They will take action to stop it, and sometimes the mercenary group will take the initiative to kill the robbers, which is one of the reasons why there are still people staying in the desert."
"Mercenary group?" Yan Ting muttered, is there also a Wuji mercenary group here?
"What does what you are talking about have to do with you tricking outsiders?" Yan Ting asked with a frown.
The middle-aged man said: "Because robbers are rampant and the connection between the desert and the outside world is cut off, the risk for merchants to transport supplies has become extremely high. People from other places say that the desert is an unknown place. Those merchants have raised prices. Not only
Food, even water, is several times the normal price. Our desert is already short of water resources, so more people can’t even drink water, so we hate those businessmen and people from other places, so we have
As you can see, they are raising prices, and we are also raising prices, and we will never make it easier for outsiders."
Yan Ting shook his head helplessly. Regardless of whether what the middle-aged man said was true or not, this behavior made him feel obviously extreme. It was obvious that the robbers were responsible for all this, and businessmen from other places had to take huge risks.
It is reasonable to raise prices for transportation, but they blame everything on outsiders, which is beyond stupid.
