Chapter 26 Before Departure
After Liu Lezi finished discussing all the matters in the city, the sun had already set in the west and was about to fall into the lake.
He didn't know anything about business. The only thing the entire escort agency could use was force. Several wealthy businessmen combined their efforts and finally pushed Liu Lezi to the forefront.
There is no other reason. Even if Liu Laizi doesn't understand anything, he has the highest voice in the city now.
Sometimes a boss doesn’t need to know everything, he just needs to know how to manage people.
On the other hand, "retrieving corpses", which was originally the biggest business in the city, has quietly gone downhill due to the disappearance of the river god. Several wealthy businessmen may also be aware that Qingzhou City will become a land of plenty and plenty next to them. There is a famine in Xuzhou, but no one has come here yet. What if those hungry ghosts go crazy with hunger and come to Qingzhou?
Relying on their group of servants of wealthy businessmen?
Or rely on the government, which is doing nothing now?
Obviously not reliable.
It is better to rely on the killing stick in Liu Leizi's hand.
If nothing else, if Liu Lezi can fight, he can really fight.
Liu Lezi was also happy in his heart. He didn't expect that after half a lifetime, he suddenly became the local tyrant in Qingzhou City. The days from now on will definitely get better and better.
I still have to thank the Taoist priest!
When Liu Lezi came to the courtyard, he happened to see the Taoist priest and the girl in colorful clothes sitting in the main courtyard.
“Congratulations, Mr. Liu.”
Zuo Chen said with a smile.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Liu Lezi immediately came to Zuo Chen flatteringly, "If it weren't for you, I would still be in the yard right now."
Zuo Chen Chen smiled.
He is not just Liu Laizi.
Guan Qi Technique can reveal some unique things. Although Liu Laizi has a fierce and evil spirit, he also has a strong chivalrous spirit.
He is the kind of person who gets paid to do things, and there are no resentful souls among his subordinates who died in vain. He is considered a good person in this world.
At least it's better than people like Xu Fugui who have a lot of resentment around them.
Correcting his face, Zuo Chen said:
"After a while, you can find a few people who are good at water, bring a few hemp ropes and bamboo baskets and dive into the lake. Bury the lake in the center. There are a lot of soft things that have been thrown into the lake over the years. You can fish them out and dry them in the sun for seven days, and then they can be used normally.”
“There are actually these in the center of the lake. Something?”
"Money is not something that melts when it comes into contact with water. There is nothing in the river that would spend this money, so I naturally saved it." Zuo Chen said: "You can keep some of it for your own use, but I hope most of this money will be spent." On the people of Qingzhou City, not on yourself
"The Qing Kung Fu I teach you also requires a peaceful mind. It is natural to take treasures and receive gifts, and you should be rewarded for your hard work. But if you leave Xu Fugui in the end. The old road, that...
"Whatever was promised to you will naturally leave you."
Liu Lezi's face was serious, and after keeping all this in mind, he wanted to move towards Zuo Chen Give a salute.
But he felt that simply bowing was too little, and he probably wouldn't be willing to follow the Taoist priest's temperament.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Lezi finally thought of the children and teachers in the private school in the north of the city.
He made a funny and not very standard disciple ceremony according to his memory.
Zuo Chen suffered.
"Tomorrow I will leave with Caiyi, and today I will ask you for a glass of wine."
"The Taoist priest is leaving tomorrow? Shouldn't I stay for a few more days? "Oh God?" Liu Lezi was shocked, he didn't expect the Taoist priest to leave now.
“I came down the mountain mainly to seek Taoist skills,” Zuo Chen sighed: “I came to Qingzhou City originally because I heard that Bai Lao was capable, but when I got here I found out that he was a vulgar master, so I planned to go north. , go find the Xian'er you mentioned."
"With your skills, even if there is a Xian'er going north, I'm afraid it won't teach you anything."
"Not necessarily. " Zuo Chen thought of the wonderful method recorded in the jade pendant. It was indeed the method of cultivating immortals, and it was very profound.
Seeing that Zuo Chen could not be persuaded to stay, Liu Lezi gave a few more instructions:
"You may think I'm wordy, but I still have to say a few more words. If you go north, Taoist Master, you will definitely pass the border of Xuzhou. There are serious disasters there. There are either refugees or bandits on the road. Big iron pots There are dolls stewed everywhere, and nine out of ten wild shops you encounter on the road sell rice and meat. It’s a difficult road, so please be careful.”
“I understand.”< br>
Zuo Chen nodded and kept these instructions in his heart.
......
On the border of Qingzhou City, the road is clear. Not far ahead is the checkpoint of Qingzhou and Xuzhou. There are soldiers in armor standing at the checkpoint, holding guns and bows.
They are not soldiers of the imperial court, but soldiers raised privately by King Shou. They are guarding the pass not to guard against foreign thieves, but to guard against hungry ghosts in Xuzhou!
Hungry ghosts run slowly. At this pass, you only need to draw your bow and fire once in the morning to kill the hungry ghosts who sneaked over last night. Draw your bow and fire once in the evening to kill the hungry ghosts that sneaked over during the day. Ghosts have perfected their merits and go home to kill fish and eat meat.
Today, a nobleman came up the official road next to the pass. The old slave led the horse, and the horse pulled the carriage. Next to the carriage stood a maid scattering flowers from the flower basket. The nobleman was sitting in the carriage.
They stayed here, as if waiting for someone. The soldiers did not dare to approach or expel them, so they stood at the pass and watched them until noon from the morning to Qingzhou. Just rode a fast horse.
The horse quickly arrived at the carriage, and a handsome young man got off. The young man carried a large bag wrapped in oilcloth on his back. He quickly walked to the carriage and knelt down on one knee.
"Grandpa, I brought the knife out for you."
Mr. Zhao took off the big bag from behind, then carefully untied the cloth strip wrapped above, and handed it to the carriage. The door of the carriage also slammed. When it opened, it was dark inside and no one could be seen clearly.
The soldiers guarding the pass felt that the temperature around them seemed to be a few degrees lower, and they couldn't help but shiver.
Mr. Zhao felt that the sword in his hand seemed to be held by an invisible force. He let go of the sword and flew into the carriage.
After about four or five breaths, an old sigh came from the carriage:
"A treasured sword, it is indeed a treasured sword!
"This sword alone can be ranked in the top ten of the magic weapon list... No, it can be ranked in the top five!
"Dedicate this knife to King Shou, and we will be more confident in fighting for the world!"
The old man in the carriage sighed several times, but finally muttered:
"It's a pity that the murderous aura on this sword is too weak. It seems that several people will have to be sacrificed to the sword in the future, otherwise it will not be able to exert its power!"
"Grandpa, do you like this knife?" Mr. Zhao asked cautiously with a little sweat on his forehead and a smile on his face.
"Not bad." The old man said: "Although you failed in planning Baishou Lake, for the sake of your sword, the Hui people will naturally reward you."
Master Zhao After getting this approval, he smiled happily, then stood up, and said a little worriedly:
"Grandpa, I also told you through the subpoena before, Qingzhou doesn't know A young lady from an aristocratic family came from somewhere, and it was precisely because of her that she ruined my business, but I secretly ordered someone to take a look at her, but I didn’t recognize her at all, so..."
"It doesn’t matter." The old man snorted:
"I can't tell which family intervened. Nowadays, the feudal kings are fighting for the world, and there are a lot of fish and dragons under the water. I'm afraid it's just a shrimp jumping around."
A shrimp jumping around?
The River God is a serious monster. What kind of skinny shrimp can beat the River God to death!
Mr. Zhao hesitated to speak, but finally swallowed the words back.
It’s not a big problem. Anyway, when the sky fell, it was Shou Wang Kang first, and then Grandfather Kang, but it couldn’t hit me no matter what.
