Chapter 488 Counted as your hard work
The city lord of Leicheng showed a very close and peaceful attitude towards Master Gelai, but Master Gelai thought that the city lord was still a little unpredictable.
Therefore, he showed great respect in front of the city lord. When talking to him, he would naturally only talk about the superficial situation.
“After I fell on the top of the mountain, I was struck by lightning and could not go down the mountain. It was the arrival of Master Decheng and his party that gave me the opportunity to go down the mountain.
Then we entered the city Because we walked too slowly and were blocked from the city gate, we all had another chance to spend one night together.”
The Lord City Lord said curiously: "I observed that Master Decheng and his party don't look like monks from a small family."
Gelaizhen looked a little ashamed on his face: "We introduced each other at that time At that time, because someone was struck by lightning, I didn’t hear clearly where he was coming from.”
After being stunned, the Lord City Lord smiled: “You are still too young. br>If you didn’t hear clearly at the time, you can ask again.”
Master Ge Lai listened to the Lord’s words with a serious expression, and immediately said: “I will have experience in the future.”
The Lord of the City was busy with everything, so he met with Master Ge Lai and allowed him to stay in the Lord's Mansion for a few days, which showed the sincerity of the good relationship between Leicheng and Tianyi Sect from generation to generation.
The Lord of the City called someone to arrange the residence of Master Gelai. He picked up the teacup and Master Gelai stood up knowingly.
"Shibo, let me take my leave first. When I am about to leave Leicheng, I will come again to say goodbye to Shibo."
The Lord of the City nodded and said: "What do you want to buy? Please talk to the steward in detail."
Master Ge Lai once again thanked the Lord for the hospitality, and he followed the steward of the City Lord's Mansion to the guest room.
The guest room was very quiet, and it seemed that only the Gelai people were staying there at the moment, so he asked the house manager for his opinion, and soon went out to wander around the city.
The city lord soon learned that Master Ge Lai met Shi Xiaoliu and the others and had a conversation with them.
"How is their relationship?"
"Both parties behave politely."
"This is an honest child. You arranged for them to buy lightning wood. .”
"Okay."
After the visitor retreated, the city lord sighed: "There are just raw melon eggs coming and going. When will an expert come and help us solve the lightning strike issue. ”
Gelaizhen walked around the city for a long time and finally found a place where he bought and sold lightning-strike wood. However, the shop owner said that the goods would not arrive until the third day.
Master Ge Lai quickly paid the deposit and specifically pointed out that he was currently living in the City Lord's Mansion.
Master Ge Lai settled the matter and went directly to speak to Master Decheng.
When he arrived, Master Decheng happened to come out of the room. He was surprised for a moment when he saw Master Ge Lai, but he soon calmed down.
After Master Decheng heard what Master Gelai said, he immediately called Shi Xiaoliu and the others. After asking about their needs, he and Master Gelai walked out of the courtyard.
After noon, Master Decheng came back from outside. He and Shi Xiaoliu reported the good news, saying that they would leave Leicheng in four days.
After Master Ge Lai returned to the city lord's palace, he asked the steward and found out that the city lord was busy, so he told the steward: "After I bought the lightning strike wood, I prepared to go to Dayingzhou."
The steward smiled and said: "Immortal, you will definitely make all your wishes come true."
The city lord soon received the news again. After hearing this, he said to the steward: "Go and ask the store if the goods are complete?
It is not enough. Our government can supply some." The steward went to the store and asked the store owner, Knowing that the store had all the goods ready, just to raise the price, I made an appointment to do the transaction three days later.
After the steward came back to explain to the Lord of the City, he saw that there was no look of blame on the Lord of the City. Instead, he smiled and said, "None of the many businessmen who buy lightning-strike wood know how to do it." If he can calm down."
"City Lord, after I go there, he won't raise the price too high."
The Lord of the City nodded and said: "The next time he asks to see me, bring him directly to see me."
Three days later, Master Decheng and his party went to the shop, and Master Ge Lai was already sitting in the shop Inside, the shopkeeper prepared tea and received them.
The group of them looked at the lightning strike wood and expressed satisfaction. Until they heard the price mentioned by the shop owner, a look of embarrassment appeared on their faces.
Master Decheng took a look at the lightning strike wood and said to the shopkeeper: "The price is too high. We don't have a few high-grade spiritual stones when we go out. It seems that we can't make it this time."
Mr. Ge Laizhen looked at the things with a look of reluctance, and also said to the shopkeeper: "Is there room for negotiation on this price?"
The shopkeeper quoted another price, and Master Decheng and Master Gelai exchanged glances. The two stood up directly and said: "Shopkeeper, then we can't continue trading.
And the price you gave today is too high. It’s not true. You can refund half of the deposit to us, and the other half will be counted as your hard work.”
The shop owner looked confused, thought about it carefully, and finally quoted a real price.
Master Decheng and Master Ge Lai sat down again, and they both sighed at the same time: "Forget it, it's not easy for us to come here, so let's do it."
After the two parties were late, , a group of them walked out of the store, Master Decheng and Master Ge Lai said goodbye: "We will leave in a while."
After listening to his words, Master Ge Lai immediately expressed that he would go with them, but he had to go and say goodbye to the Lord of the City first.
Master Decheng thought that they were able to buy the lightning wood so quickly because of the favor of Master Ge Lai, so they were naturally willing to wait, and the two parties agreed to meet at the gate of the city.
At noon, Master Decheng and his party met at the gate of the city, and the steward of the city lord's palace sent them to the gate of the city.
He took them to a place and said, "If you leave from here, you can avoid lightning strikes."
Master Decheng and his party saluted the steward, and Shi Xiaoliu looked at Seeing Master Decheng's expression, he took out two bottles of different elixirs and gave them to the steward.
At this time, Master Decheng opened his mouth and said to the steward: "This is a small gift we give to the city lord and steward."
Master Decheng took out the flying boat, and they got on the flying boat, and waited until the flying boat passed over Leicheng. When that happened, Master Ge Lai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He said to Master Decheng: "When I went to say goodbye to the Lord of the City, I was really worried that he would keep me here for a few more days."
After hearing this, Master Decheng said curiously: " Aren’t you family friends?”
Master Ge Lai sighed: “The elders who had friendship with the city lord were gone in the last battle.
There aren't many records of Leicheng left in our sect. We don't know what the relationship between the city lord and that elder is. "
Master Decheng thought for a while and said: "There are not many records to prove that the deceased elders of your sect did not have any grudge against the city lord. "
"Before I came, the elders of the sect also meant the same thing. "
In the city lord's mansion in Leicheng, the city lord looked at the two bottles of elixirs and smiled immediately: "People who know etiquette, it's a pity that we in Leicheng can't keep people. ”
