Chapter 742 (1/2)
Originally, Zhang Yitian was very ashamed, because the situation was the same as what Luo Hongyue said. He didn't give face first. Now he turned to ask for people, which is a bit cheeky.
But one yard to one yard. Although Zhang Yitian did so, he couldn't arrange himself according to the woman's words. He sighed, ”it's not that I'm unkind, but I know my weight too much. I'm a wild child, and that little magic is difficult to be elegant. I've told Mr. Wu before.”
Luo Hongyue didn't have such a good temper and said bluntly, ”I know what you mean, but I tell you, if today's capable people and volunteers in the cultivation world don't think only for themselves and act regardless of morality and morality like you, what's the difference between them and evil cultivation?”
Zhang Yitian was speechless, because he thought so in his heart, but he can't be completely blamed. After all, he has only been in the foreign world for a short time and doesn't know much about the local customs. It's wise to keep a low profile at the right time. If he tries to be strong, he may cause trouble. According to his current cultivation, he is not enough to deal with these difficulties.
”All fire abatement is to give me some face as an old man.” the old man Baicao came out to make a round, smiled and asked Zhang Yitian, ”when you came just now, I heard you said you came from Beimo city and were the tutor of canglu college, right?”
Zhang Yitian wondered, ”yes, I'm from canglu college. Why did you suddenly ask this?”
Baicao old man smiled more and more enthusiastically, ”to tell you the truth, my family brother is now in canglu college and is responsible for the daily transaction of pagoda peak. This time, the bad disciple Ding Huan went to find his martial uncle and went to Beimo city with Luo's caravan...”
The old man Baicao talked endlessly, and his expression relaxed and relaxed, as if he was feeling and worried. These words fell in Zhang Yitian's ears, and a lot of character information suddenly appeared in his mind. Finally, he locked a person, ”you don't mean elder Wu of Baota peak?” he asked in surprise.
”Yes, elder Wu Chen and elder Wu are my family's younger brothers.” the hundred grass old man recalled the past, ”twenty years ago, he went to lead a team to Beimo city to do medicine business. As a result, he met bandits in the desert, was seriously injured and fainted. It happened that elder Chu Yan of canglu college passed by, saved his life and took him back to canglu college.
Later, my younger brother survived, but his caravan no longer existed. He was disheartened. With the help of elder Chu Yan, he decided to stay in canglu college and do some small business. Your president, Xuan Daozi, gave him full power to take care of the pagoda peak. He hasn't come back since... ”
After listening to this story, Zhang Yitian had only one thought in his heart, ”the world is so small. Unexpectedly, Wu paopi is the family brother of the old man Baicao. I'll go there...” thinking about it, he smiled bitterly.
At the same time, Zhang Yitian also understood the meaning of Baicao old man's words. He was just trying to get in touch with the Luo family. Understanding this, he had a trace of curiosity in his heart, ”I want to know now, what is the relationship between you and the Luo family, and why do you want to help them speak like this?”
Seeing that Zhang Yitian's mouth was loose, the old man Baicao immediately replied, ”It's not helping to speak, so please don't get me wrong. The Luo family was only a small family with a population of only a dozen people. We made friends at that time, because the mercenaries were all engaged in the business of licking blood at the edge of a knife. It was inevitable that someone would be hurt. At that time, they didn't have much money, so I sold them medicine at a low price. Later, the Luo family developed, right I'm an old man who takes good care of me. ”
Luo Hongyue lost no time to interrupt: ”can you compare Mr. Wu's character? Most of the credit for the good mercenary business in juejian city is due to Mr. Wu. If he hadn't been generous for years, many mercenaries would have perished. My Luo family is only one of them.”
Knowing the whole story of human relations, Zhang Yitian couldn't help but look at the old man with great admiration. At the same time, he also had a trace of depression in his heart. ”It's the same family. Why doesn't Wu peipi have such generous consciousness?”
Old man Baicao turned to the subject, ”Little brother Zhang, the thing is, in order to recruit elixir masters with real talents as soon as possible, the city Lord's residence issued a notice to the rich and powerful families in juejian City, which made it clear that each family had to send an elitist to participate in the Dan King competition. If the sent elitist could win the championship in the competition, the family leader could become the city Lord He served as the vice mayor of the city.
On the contrary, if the ranking is at the bottom, the tax will have to be increased by 10% in the coming year. However, the payment is small and the loss of face is big. The mercenary Corps pays attention to a reputation status. The louder the reputation is, the more guests will come to admire it. The key vice mayor can hold real power. To put it bluntly, if anyone becomes the vice mayor, he will become the leader of all the mercenary Corps in the city. ”
Luo Hongyue frowned and said, ”we wanted to invite Master Wu to participate on behalf of the Luo family, but just now you appeared. Master Wu thought your alchemy was above him, so he sent someone to recommend you to the Luo family, but you pushed it off in every way. It was really annoying!” at the end, she clenched her silver teeth and looked angry.
”Look what you said...” Zhang Yitian laughed and said, ”I feel a lot of pressure when you say that. If you lose, it will bring bad luck to your Luo family. Compared with the fact that I refuse you now, it will be a big sin.”
Luo Hongyue gritted her teeth and said, ”if you lose, it's my Luo family. If you win, it's your advantage. My Luo family will never treat your friends badly.”
