Chapter 239 People don't offend me, I don't offend others
Originally, this gunpowder had been placed here without anyone paying attention to it. Unexpectedly, as soon as Shi Yicai wanted to buy it, someone would rush to buy it.
Isn't this intentional?
The vendor naturally heard it, and he looked at the person walking behind Shi Yi with some embarrassment.
There were three people coming, and the one standing in the middle was the one who spoke. He also held a fan in his hand.
He fanned himself with a fan from time to time. He was dressed like a rich man, but his voice made Shi Yi feel a little awkward.
At this time, the vendor looked at him and then at Shi Yi. Originally, this was a happy thing, but he was an honest person after all, so he became a little worried.
"Young Master, these things have been sold to this little brother, please calm down."
It's a pity that his words were not recognized by the rich man.
They didn't talk too much, they just spoke with determination.
"How much did he bid?"
The merchant quickly responded, "Twelve."
The rich man directly asked for a hundred taels, which was ten times the price.
At this time, the vendor was a little uneasy.
He looked at Shi Yi hesitantly, with pleading in his eyes.
Shi Yi understood what the vendor meant.
He looked at the rich young man, especially since he had spent more time with him during his lifetime.
Just when the rich man was about to get angry, Shi Yi looked back.
The reason why he wanted to buy the gunpowder was not that he needed it, but that he felt a sense of intimacy with it.
He also understood that since the rich man had already robbed him, no matter how much he paid, he would be suppressed.
It seems that this rich man has some skills and may also know the importance of gunpowder.
After all, Shi Yi didn't know much about the people in this world, especially a suzerain country like this.
Shi Yi didn't bother to fight with him, so he walked aside silently.
At first, he wanted to help the vendor raise the price, but the look in the vendor's eyes made Shi Yi a little unhappy, so he gave up.
When he was about to leave, he couldn't help but take another look at the rich man.
If he guessed correctly, this rich man was probably disguised as a man.
In fact, he is a woman.
This is when Shi Yi stared at her and realized that she was a girl.
Because the front of her body is thicker than that of a normal man, even if she is covered with clothes, the traces of her daughter's body cannot be concealed.
The two people beside her stared at Shi Yi coldly like her bodyguards, with one hand resting on the handle of the knife.
There is a posture of getting angry if there is any disagreement.
Shi Yi sighed softly in his heart, but he didn't say much.
As long as people don't offend me, I won't offend them.
If the other party dares to invade him, he will definitely kill several people and will never show mercy.
He doesn't want to cause trouble now because he still has to enter the palace.
There are important things waiting for him to do, and he doesn't want to waste time on these people.
So, he turned and left.
Thinking that this matter would just go away, Shi Yi also found an inn nearby to stay at.
But what he never expected was that the woman disguised as a man would also be staying in this inn.
And what a coincidence, he lives next door to Shi Yi.
This started when Shi Yi went out to eat when it was dark, and happened to meet the woman disguised as a man.
When they met in the aisle, he did not take the initiative to say hello to the woman, but passed her by.
The woman also noticed him.
This inn has a restaurant in front and accommodation behind the courtyard.
Shi Yi came to a seat near the window. While drinking tea, he waited for the waiter to bring the food.
The waiter placed a large jar of wine on the table, placed some side dishes, and just turned around to leave.
Shi Yi opened the jar of wine and poured it on. Sitting opposite him was a woman disguised as a man, the same woman he had met before.
"This little brother, would you mind eating together?"
The woman poured herself a bowl of wine in a familiar manner. Shi Yi did not respond to her words, but he also had no intention of driving her away.
Shi Yi even picked up the wine and gestured to toast to her.
After finishing a bowl of wine, he picked up a peanut with chopsticks and ate it.
The wine here is similar to the beer in the previous life. No matter how much Shi Yi drinks, it is difficult to get drunk.
"This young lady, do you have something to say?"
Shi Yi's words made the woman slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Shi Yi had already seen through her disguise as a man.
And he also understood that he was here to discuss things with Shi Yi.
It was said to be a discussion, but in fact it was a covert attempt to blackmail Shi Yi.
But she didn't do that at this time. She put down the wine bowl in her hand and looked at Shi Yi with a smile.
When this woman smiles, she has two shallow dimples on her face.
She looks a bit charming. If she were wearing women's clothes, she would definitely be a beautiful woman.
"This young master has really good eyesight. He even knows that I am a girl, and he also knows that I have something to do with him. This little girl has to admire me."
Huo Qing'er said with a smile.
Shi Yi didn't say anything, just looked at Huo Qing'er. This woman was definitely not simple.
Judging from her behavior, she is still a very well-educated woman, somewhat like a lady, indicating that she comes from a large family.
And judging from the guards around her, although there are only two of them, their cultivation is not low, and they are both masters of the Martial King Realm.
A family with such strength as a bodyguard is definitely not a small family.
Moreover, the costumes they wear seem to be slightly different from those of Kazuma Kingdom.
Shi Yi has been watching these subtle changes and details.
When Huo Qing'er saw that Shi Yi didn't speak or answer, she understood that Shi Yi might be in trouble.
She continued to smile and said:
"You are right. I came to see you. I really want to consult the young master on something."
There was a pause.
"Today, I accidentally competed with the young master for the gunpowder at the stall. It was the girl's fault. It's just that the girl liked the gunpowder very much, so she took it away..."
She smiled awkwardly and continued.
"May I ask, Master, if you also know the purpose of this gunpowder?"
This gunpowder has many uses. Shi Yi knew a lot of things in his previous life.
However, he would definitely not tell the woman if he did not understand her motives.
So, he shook his head gently and responded calmly.
"I don't know. If you didn't say its name is gunpowder, I wouldn't even know its name. I just find this thing interesting and want to buy it back and study it."
When Huo Qing'er heard this, her anxious heart finally dropped. She thought Shi Yi also understood the use of gunpowder.
I was also worried that Shi Yi would take other actions, but now it seems that I am overthinking it.
She was obviously relieved, so she poured herself another bowl of wine and raised her glass to Shi Yi.
In the early hours of that night, the room next door, Huo Qing'er's room, made some noises that attracted Shi Yi's attention.
He climbed up and put his ear against the wall, listening to the...
