Four hundred and fiftieth eight chapters the town's laughing stock
The three old men all turned their attention to Su Yan, who was approaching. When the three of them saw Su Yan, their expressions immediately showed a trace of solemnity.
Judging from her appearance and dress, this woman who has just stepped onto the stage is by no means simple. She is in her early twenties and has almost reached the middle stage of bone refining. She is dressed in a gorgeous dress that wraps her graceful curves into an exquisite and neat bun.
Meticulously coiled on top of her head, it formed a sharp contrast with the slovenly Zuo Feng beside her, and also highlighted the woman's extraordinary background.
The gray-haired old man among the three slowly said: "Lao Xian Lin is the city lord of Tushan City nearby. I didn't know that you, girl, are..."
The other party announced the name of the city lord. There was no change in his plain expression, but Zuo Feng frowned unconsciously. The other two old men noticed that there was no change in his plain expression. Obviously, they did not care about the city lord or the like.
But Zuo Feng, who was wearing a bamboo hat, had something strange in his eyes. They immediately judged that the name of "City Lord" had intimidated Zuo Feng.
But in fact, Zuo Feng was shocked. How could this old man, who was only six or seven levels in the middle stage of tempering, become the leader of a city? With such strength, even in the smallest city in Ye Lin, he could barely climb to the rank of leader.
Just a bit.
It was not convenient to ask questions at the moment. Zuo Feng also saw that the three old men were very concerned about Su Yan. Zuo Feng didn't know much about the situation here, so he simply left the matter in front of Su Yan to handle.
During the brief conversation between the three people, people were already gathering under the high platform. By the time Zuo Feng noticed it, no less than 200 people had gathered under the high platform.
Su Yan didn't seem to care about anything around her at all, and she didn't pay any attention to the three old men in front of her. She smiled lightly and said: "I am also from a little-known family in Linshan County. It's not enough to slander everyone by mentioning it.
But this friend of mine is the first to participate in the competition to select medicine, so don’t bully outsiders."
The old man in green robe, who had always looked down on Zuo Feng, spoke again: "I am the mayor of Tushan Town. I have the right to set the registration fee for Tushan Town myself, provided that the city lord above us agrees.
That’s it. Looking at what you were talking about just now, you should be aware of this rule of the empire.”
Before the old man finished speaking, the beautiful girl without makeup was already frowning. It was obvious that the old man's words aroused her anger. After snorting coldly, she pointed at the crowd below and said, "Are these people all having sex?"
Can’t you sign up after paying ten gold coins?”
The old man in green sneered and said: "To be honest, the amount they paid was only ten copper coins."
Seeing that Su Yan was about to ask a question, he waved his hand and continued: "But today is the last day for registration. If I say ten gold coins, it means ten. As long as the city lord next to me allows it, I can say how much it is."
.”
As he said this, the old man in green robe looked at Zuo Feng sarcastically, and then turned to look at the white-haired old man beside him. The old man who claimed to be the Lord of Tushan City was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded to Su Yan.
.
Su Yan was obviously angry at this time, and her chest was rising and falling violently. Zuo Feng saw that she was about to have an attack, and quickly reached out to hold her back. Su Yan was about to take a step forward, but with her fiery temper and financial background, how could she
Would you take such a group of people seriously?
Zuo Feng could clearly guess what Su Yan was thinking, but he also knew that making matters more difficult would only cause more trouble for him. Under today's circumstances, it would be better to have more trouble than less trouble.
One hand held Su Yan, and the other reached into his arms to fumble around, and then took out ten gold coins. Just now, the three old men saw that Zuo Feng wanted to pay, and now it seems that Zuo Feng
It was actually possible to come up with such a large amount of money.
For an ordinary family, these ten gold coins are definitely a huge amount of money. It would be difficult for an ordinary mountain family to save ten gold coins in a few years. So when Zuo Feng took out these ten gold coins, there was
Immediately there were voices of discussion, pointing and guessing the origin of Zuo Feng.
The three old men looked at each other. The old man in green robe looked at Zuo Feng with a greedy look on his face and said with a smile: "This little friend heard what I said before. If you fail to pass the preliminary round of this competition, then
This registration fee will not be refunded.”
Zuo Feng held Su Yan tightly, who was about to get angry, and nodded: "I listened to the mayor's words lightly. Since it is your rule, I will just follow it."
As soon as these words fell, Zuo Feng felt a strong force coming from his palm. Then Su Yan shook Zuo Feng's hand away fiercely. When he turned around to look, he saw Su Yan looking at him with hidden anger. Look.
With her bare face, she obviously didn't like Zuo Feng's submissive appearance, but Zuo Feng had already said what she said and there was nothing she could do about it.
Looking at Su Yan's appearance, Zuo Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, and was about to hand over the gold coins in his hand. However, Su Yan grabbed his wrist with her backhand. Under Zuo Feng's puzzled eyes, Su Yan slowly said
: "Then according to the rules, if he is finally selected in your town's competition, you need to pay back the registration fee ten times. I think you don't have the right to change this rule."
The smiles on the faces of the three old men instantly faded, and they looked at each other, and they all saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes. The young man looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, but this girl
It's very simple.
If the previous rules are known to everyone born and raised in the Xuanwu Empire, then not everyone knows the latter rule that does not allow changes. Only those who can really stand out in the competition can know it.
The ratio is really small in the Xuanwu Empire.
Generally, no one takes it too seriously when the winner of the competition returns a few copper coins, and no one pursues the fact that this rule is a part of the empire that is not allowed to be changed. So the fact that this girl in front of me knew this also shocked several old men.
.
The old man in blue robe and the old man in green robe looked at each other, and finally the old man in blue robe said: "Since you know it so well, we don't need to explain to you any more. This young man will pay ten gold coins as a sign up for the competition."
If you can stand out in the competition, we will not only refund the registration fee, but we will also give you ten times the reward."
Zuo Feng, who originally wanted to hand over the money, was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he could make money by participating in the competition and selecting medicines without spending any money.
While snickering in her heart, she suddenly noticed that Su Yan's face looked strange. If she was new to Su Yan, she might think that she was thinking about something. But Zuo Feng had been with her for some time, and he could tell at a glance that Su Yan was thinking about something.
What a bad idea.
If she were without makeup and deep in thought, her face would be very calm, but now there was a flickering light in her eyes.
Since he planned to leave everything to Su Yan, Zuo Feng remained silent. Anyway, he could just give his name in the end. Su Yan, after hesitating for a while, looked at Zuo Feng thoughtfully.
Seeing Su Yan's cautious look, the old man in green robe said, "Girl, I don't think I have much confidence in your friend. I think you should leave quickly to avoid embarrassment and loss of money."
These words seemed to be meant to persuade, but anyone could tell that he was mocking and irritating Su Yan. But Su Yan seemed to have made up his mind. After a slight hesitation, he said: "I am not treating this friend of mine."
I don’t trust my strength, but I suddenly remembered another rule of selecting medicines for the competition, which is that you can bet on the players.”
The three old men on the high platform changed their colors at the same time, looking at Su Yan as if they were looking at fools. None of the three people expressed their opinions, as if they were confirming whether what Su Yan just said was true.
The old man in green robe was the first to react, but before he could speak, he was pulled by the gray-haired old man, and then whispered a few words in his ear. The others could not hear a sound, but Zuo Feng could
I could clearly hear the city lord whispering to the old man in green robe to be careful.
Just at this moment, Suyan said: "Why, maybe your Tushan Town can't afford the bet? Weren't you full of confidence just now?"
The crowd watching the excitement immediately started talking, and they were puzzled by Su Yan's behavior of provoking the old man here.
The old man in green robe hesitated for a moment and then said: "Since you have such a request, girl, then don't say that I tricked you. I don't know how much you want to bet."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Suyan casually threw out a piece of yellow-orange object. You didn't need to look carefully to see that it was a gold cake.
After seeing the heavy gold cake in their hands, the three old men were stunned. They had already seen that this woman with no makeup was unusual, and now they confirmed their guess. However, the three old men
They looked at each other, then looked at the stunned Zuo Feng, and finally the three of them couldn't help but reveal a bright smile.
With a smile on his face, the old man in green robe stood up and said: "Since this little friend wants to participate in the medicine selection competition so much, then our Tushan Town has decided to accept your registration. Come to the front."
When the old man finished speaking, the noise in the crowd below the high platform became a little louder, but Zuo Feng walked to the table without caring and put down the ten gold coins in his hand.
The registration process is very simple, just record Zuo Feng's name, age and other identity information, and then take out a small bronze medal and hand it to Zuo Feng on the spot and that's it.
Looking at the small bronze medal in his hand, Zuo Feng couldn't help but frown slightly, because the medal looked particularly rough, even as if it had been very old. The edges of the medal had been worn, faded and shiny, while the middle part
But it has obvious rust.
The front of the bronze medal is a herb, and the back is engraved with the words "Ninety-Five". After Zuo Feng put the bronze medal away, he found that Su Yan had already walked towards the audience. Although Zuo Feng had many questions in his mind, he could only
We can wait until we leave here.
Just when Zuo Feng and Su Yan walked off the stage, more than 200 people in the audience burst into laughter. Those people looked at them as if they were looking at fools, making Zuo Feng feel like he was in Zuojia Village when he was disabled.
