With a smile on his face, the fat shopkeeper took out a cloth bag from under the counter with some pain, and put it on the counter with a clattering sound. There was a heavy bag of silver coins, broken silver, and copper coins, and Ning Yi swept them away casually.
At a glance, I knew that this bag of money was worth only a dozen taels of silver.
From the conversation the shopkeeper just had, it is not difficult to see that the fat shopkeeper is honoring these three officials. And it is not once a month, but once a day.
The leading official weighed it in his hand, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Hu, there is a little less today."
"You guys, the shop is not big, and if it is full of customers in one day, you can only earn so much."
"Hey, this is your business."
The leading officer sneered again and again, glanced at the packed hall, and said with a smile: "You are a businessman, why do you still need your grandpa to teach you how to run a business? Now that Yunzhou is in chaos, there are countless fat sheep fleeing from Zhongzhou. We must pass here.
Land. You are guarding the Feng Shui treasure land and you are crying for grandpa. If you raise the price, don't you have everything? For example, this pot of wine, one tael of silver is too cheap, I don't think it is expensive if you sell it for ten taels..."
Ning Yi listened to the official chatting loudly about business. He was so surprised that he brought the wine glass to his mouth and forgot to drink it. It was really surprising that an official made a fortune blatantly when Yunzhou encountered a disaster.
Just now, Ning Yi felt that the fat shopkeeper's words were too unpleasant.
Only then did I realize that real cannibals would never do it directly. They would launch an agency, sit at the table, use the most comfortable posture, and eat the fattest meat. If they are careful about what they do, they might still eat it afterwards.
Get a good name.
"Dog officer!"
The bearded man was already furious. Hearing these remarks, he could no longer bear it and shouted in the hall. The leading officer turned his head, glanced at the three of them, sneered and said: "Grandpa is worrying about the harvest today.
If it’s not enough, I’ll take down three of you gangsters to count.”
While he was talking, four officers came over.
They drew their sabers, their eyes flashed fiercely, and they were filled with murderous intent.
The shopkeeper shouted, "Grandpas, please don't break the tables and chairs." After shouting, he huddled behind the counter and disappeared. The waiter calmly ran towards the back door before leaving.
, pulled Ning Yi and reminded: "Little sir, get out of the way quickly, don't get hurt by accident. Even if you don't get hurt by accident, it is unlucky to be splashed with blood."
Ning Yi did not move, his eyes swept over the diners who hurriedly got up to dodge.
The officials struck fiercely, with the swords in their hands filled with true energy, and without saying a word, they slashed down on the bearded man's head. Among the four of them, two were at the third level of the Qi training realm, and one was at the fourth level of the Qi training realm. The leader
His cultivation level is at the fifth level of Qi training realm, which is obviously one level higher than the three men.
As soon as they handed over their hands, the three men were overwhelmed.
The long knives in the hands of the officials were gleaming with cold light, and the moves were deadly. In the blink of an eye, multiple wounds appeared on the man with the cheeks. Seeing that his companions were also unable to hold on, the man with the cheeks knew that he would not be spared today. He also thought of his companions who had been implicated, and felt despair and sadness in his heart.
He forced the official away with a knife and roared angrily: "Let's go, I will stop the dog official."
"Brother."
"Brother!"
Just when the two hesitated, the officials came forward again, and the three of them were about to fall into a pool of blood. At this moment, the four officials suddenly covered their chests, their breaths were confused, their faces turned pale, and they screamed in pain.
.I don’t know when, an invisible flame rose from their hearts and filled their entire bodies instantly.
The bearded man was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing, and a fierce light shot out of his eyes.
The long sword slashed across the necks of the four officials, and the screams in the tavern suddenly stopped. The three bearded men squatted down, rummaged through the officials' bodies, took their money and weapons, and looked at each other.
With one glance, he rushed out of the store with rapid strides.
Anyone watching outside the store must not be stopped.
The fat shopkeeper secretly poked his head out from the counter, saw the corpses of three official servants, and almost fainted. At this time, his fat body showed much more flexibility than usual. He took out the banknote from nowhere and hurriedly ran
When he left the store, he seemed ready to run away.
Ning Yi put down his wine glass and disappeared from the tavern without a trace.
The three bearded men ran all the way, not sparing their true energy. After running for more than ten miles, they were about to slow down when they suddenly saw a handsome young man with a bookish air standing on the roadside on the mountain road in the distance.
He was looking at them happily.
With his beard and pupils narrowed, he recognized at a glance that it was the young gentleman in the tavern.
He was not a stupid person. He immediately figured out what happened in the tavern. He quickly walked a few steps, cupped his fists and cupped his hands towards Ning Yi. He no longer had the slightest strength to look down upon, and said with a respectful expression: "I, Sun Dacheng,
,Thank you sir for your life-saving grace."
"Your Excellency is not the only one who can't stand the way officials behave."
Ning Yi waved his hand and said: "Ning Yi, the three official killers are afraid that they will be wanted at this time. Where are they going?"
"Hehe, just kill him."
Sun Dacheng smiled nonchalantly and said: "The Tang Dynasty was corrupt and incompetent, and we lost a large part of our country in vain. We brothers have already made a plan. Rather than suffer their cowardice, it is better to directly rebel. To be honest, sir, I will be ready.
To serve King Lushan, the Zhao family has issued a recruitment order, and the conditions and benefits are very good. Based on our brothers’ cultivation, we will all be able to work as an official."
"King of Lushan?"
Ning Yi was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.
Although there are many princes in the Yunzhou family, there is no Lushan King, but there is Lushan Marquis Zhao.
Ning Yi also had dealings with this aristocratic family when he was in Chang'an. At that time, representatives of the seven major clans in Yunzhou met Qiwei privately at the Lushan Marquis Mansion in Chang'an City to discuss how to carve up Yunzhou. Ning Yi took the opportunity to eavesdrop and followed the clues.
Found traces of Nanao.
Half a month ago, the Yunzhou family contacted the sect Hulang and the two clans to rebel.
This Zhao family is one of the main forces. Now that I think about it, he has established himself as the king. It is logical that the Marquis of Lushan will become the King of Lushan. The dynasty has just started and it is the time when it is growing in power. The various families will definitely offer good conditions.
, attracting the enthusiasm and devotion of all parties.
The three of them, Sun Dacheng, are not an exception. Thinking about it, there are many monks like Sun Dacheng from all over the dynasty who live unsatisfactory lives. I am afraid that a few of them will attract Yunzhou.
It is ridiculous to say that the Tang Dynasty was so corrupted that the aristocratic family was one of the main culprits.
Now victims like Sun Dacheng have traveled thousands of miles to serve the family. If you have food, you are a mother. Ning Yi cannot comment on what they do, but Ning Yi knows that the dynasty has just started, and the family is willing to share the profits.
Interests, once the political power is stable, the exploitation will be doubled...another cycle of reincarnation.
Looking at both worlds, this is true!
"Sir, you have a high level of cultivation, so you might as well join me and join Marquis Lushan."
Sun Dacheng's eyes showed expectation, and he invited him with courtesy, and said in a deep voice: "Marquis Lushan may not be a good master, but looking at these troubled times, only by leaning on a big tree can one escape the storm. The Tang Dynasty is dead.
It's deep down in the bones and there's nothing you can do to heal it, so it's better to just let it die and get a new life."
"To seek refuge in a noble family is just to sacrifice one's life for others. When the family grows in strength, they will fight each other for territory, and the two fox and wolf tribes will gain nothing in the end."
Ning Yi looked at the three of them, sighed, and said: "I think the three righteous men are all passionate. Since they can speak up for the weak and have the courage to draw swords on officials. Now that the human race is going to encounter a great disaster, why not do something beneficial?
Things about the human race. It may be weak, but it is better than the previous choice."
Sun Dacheng remained silent. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and raised his hands and said, "What is meaningful? Please give me some advice, sir."
"There is one right in front of me."
Ning Yi pointed to the endless stream of refugees on the road and said in a deep voice: "Most of them are ordinary humans, and they cannot afford to take the spirit boat. When passing through the border, they not only have to be exploited by local officials, but also have to guard against bandits and foxes.
The soldiers of the two wolf tribes shed blood all the way, how difficult it is. The three righteous men are not as good as road guardians. They kill the officials who exploit the refugees and kill the bandits who intercept them. Wouldn't they be happy?"
Sun Dacheng's blood boiled and his eyes became bloodshot.
If this could really happen, it would be really happy. But then he woke up and laughed at himself, saying, "Sir, you really think highly of Sun. I have little power here, but even if I have the intention, I'm afraid I won't survive for a few days, and how many people will I be able to save?"
People are of no help."
"Even if it's just one person, it still has meaning."
Ning Yi stared at Sun Dacheng with a smile in his eyes and asked, "Now, let's see if you are willing to do it."
The three of them were silent. After a moment, Sun Dacheng raised his head, as if he had figured it out. His eyes sparkled, and he was full of energy. He laughed and said: "Sir, you are right. Our brother's life was saved by you.
It's really good to come to save people. If you don't ask to save all sentient beings, you only need to save four people, and you will make money."
"good."
Ning Yi nodded appreciatively, waved his hand, and several bottles of elixir flew towards the three of them, saying: "Since you are willing, I will help you. In the next two days, you will follow me. How much you can learn will depend on your ability.
If you take this medicine first, you can break through the Qi training state."
"Break through the Qi training realm?"
The four of them, Sun Dacheng, were hesitant. When they opened the medicine bottle, they felt a strong fragrance of medicine hit their faces. After taking a sip, they felt that their whole body was soothed and the real energy in their bodies was deep. They immediately understood that this was an incredible elixir.
I'm afraid that some of the disciples from big aristocratic families won't be able to enjoy it when they are practicing Qi.
Watching Ning Yi, I just feel like looking at flowers in the fog, unfathomable.
