Chapter 301
"Rod, you don't even take my fiancée seriously!"
Rod was stunned.
He realized that he was actually gaining favorability? !
"No, your hobbies are too weird, aren't they?"
Chapter 299 Sincerity can move mountains and open rocks (5k
Yangmen Prefecture City.
Yu Wang Qingli looked at the black-robed woman Yuli with a swollen nose and face, and his face showed surprise.
"In this Southwest Province, there are actually people who can hurt you like this? Is it a super-class warrior from outside, or a monster? How dare they?"
In the entire Southwest Province, even if Qingli, a half-monster, is included, there are only a handful of super-class warriors.
In fact, this is the result of the development of martial arts in recent years. Forty years ago, there were only a dozen super-class warriors in the world.
And those who dare to be enemies with the flying fish monster Yuli must not be super-class locals in Southwest Province, because local super-class warriors know the consequences of being enemies with Yuli.
Even if you win, it is still a shame.
After all... practicing martial arts is not practicing sphincters. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, , the strength of the sphincter may not be much stronger than that of ordinary people.
If you really want to vomit and have diarrhea, even a super warrior may not be able to hold it.
As a poisonous monster that came out of the poisonous cloud swamp in the Ten Thousand Mountains, Yuli exhaled and exhaled poisonous gas. Usually, she had to restrain herself to be in the same room with ordinary people.
This Yuli looks like a pretty girl, but if she exerts her strength with all her strength, there is no city that cannot be broken in front of the Yuwang army?
Wherever she goes, there is a thousand miles of yellow earth, rushing thousands of miles... Yuwang Qingli has always been unwilling to use such a big killer, mainly because he thinks the consequences are too tragic.
"My enemy is not a human, but a monster from outside..." Yuli explained the whole story, and then said:
"But I have been prepared for a long time. I have poisoned the merchant Luo Cheng. "Even if there are thousands of miles between us, I can track him down through this poison." Yu Wang's eyes suddenly became a little strange: "Your poison, is it not the kind of incontinence poison?" If the toxin of fecal incontinence is used as a tracking mark, then the merchant Luo Cheng must mark every distance he walks, and she has to chase him by smelling the smell? "Of course not." Yu Li blushed and argued: "It is blood poison. The bleeding from his wound will have a special smell..." Yu Wang Qing Li breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. The gold of the Golden Country is what she wants to get. Now that even her confidant Yu Li has been defeated, it is natural for her to go. If she is asked to chase him by smelling the smell of feces for thousands of miles, the picture is too beautiful... In the mountains and forests. "Senior Qiao, now that things have come to this, I will take my leave first." Long Shankong said with his arms wrapped in bandages:
"My arms are injured. It would be a burden to act with Senior Qiao. It would be better to leave first."
Long Shankong was originally just a middleman to find the merchant Luo Cheng. Now he can be regarded as retired after his success.
He is not very interested in the Golden Country, but he is quite interested in Taoyuan Villa.
It is difficult to find a place like Taoyuan Villa in the world without prejudice, where many martial artists can exchange kung fu.
Since he has succeeded, he can't wait to go back to the villa and practice more.
Qiao Mu did not try to keep him, but just pulled the merchant Luo Cheng all the way to the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
He originally grabbed Luo Cheng and wanted to ask about the details of the so-called Golden Country and the Touchstone.
Unexpectedly, this merchant was actually just a middleman. He didn't know where the Golden Country was. He only confessed the source of the gold in his hand, which was given by the head of the Luo family.
The head of the Luo family, and even the entire Luo family, settled in the depths of the mountains, in a place called Taotie City.
So, the two people and the cat walked along the mountain road, turning and twisting.
The mountain road in the Ten Thousand Mountains is rugged and difficult to walk. Many times, the road is almost invisible in front, and they are walking on the half-man-high grass.
Without the guidance of the merchant Luo Cheng, Qiao Mu is afraid that he will not be able to find where Taotie City is.
After trekking through mountains and rivers and walking on the mountain road for a whole day, there was finally a bright future ahead, and a mountain city emerged.
The so-called Taotie City is located in a valley between the mountains. There are rugged mountains and even cliffs on three sides. There is only one mountain road in the north for outsiders to travel, which is difficult to find.
Qiao Mu thought that this Taotie City, named after Taotie, should be extraordinary, perhaps a majestic city in the mountains.
However, when he stood in front of Taotie City, he only saw a circle of low city walls. The moat had long been dried up, leaving only yellow mud. Even a small part of the city wall had collapsed. The wall was mottled and old, full of traces of time.
"I shouldn't have expected it... That's right, how could there be a majestic city in the mountains?"
Qiao Mu muttered.
When he entered the mountain, he followed the merchant Luo Cheng to walk the mountain road, and he had to rely on the memory of the martial artist to find the way, so he walked slowly.
When he went out of the mountain next time, he could rely on his light skills to fly over the eaves and walls, and it would not be a problem to go out of the mountain.
This mountain city is obviously not rich.
The city wall is low and dilapidated, most of the pedestrians are thin and pale, and the houses are scattered and dilapidated.
But the further you go along the road, the houses gradually become taller and neater, and occasionally you can see a few rich people wearing gold and jade on the road.
Obviously, although Taotie City is a mountain city, like other cities in Jiuzhou, the inner city and the outer city are almost two different worlds.
The Luo family, where Luo Cheng wants to take Qiao Mu, is in the inner city of Taotie City.
The two of them were walking on the road, but before they reached Luo's house, they suddenly heard a cry:
"Luo Cheng, don't leave!"
An old man with white hair and a goatee came over angrily and almost poked Luo Cheng's nose with his finger.
"The ten taels of gold you exchanged with me before were clearly stones!"
"I used real money to exchange it with you!"
"My son has been working in the Shanzhen Building in the city for a year since early in the morning, and he has saved forty taels of silver. I will give it all to you."
"You cheated me out of money? Give me your money back!"
"Stop messing around here!" Luo Cheng, a businessman, shouted without any fear.
Just when he shouted, he remembered that Qiao Mu was still beside him, his face twitched slightly, and his voice softened slightly:
"You are also from Taotie City, not an outsider."
"I made it clear to you when I was exchanging gold before." Seeing the people around him being attracted by the argument, Luo Cheng deliberately lowered his voice:
"I have already made it clear how the gold in this golden land can be turned into gold, and I have not hid it from you at all!"
"Otherwise, can your forty taels of silver be exchanged for ten taels of gold with me? Is it because you have a bad brain or am I a bad brain?"
"You are obviously not sincere and you did not turn the gold into real gold. Now you are blaming me?"
The old man with the goatee's face turned red when he heard this, and his goatee was trembling slightly. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and came to catch Luo Cheng.
At this time, several young and strong men had already walked over by the roadside. They blocked the old man like a human wall and shouted:
"Old rogue, don't act so mischievously here. Do you think our Luo family is easy to bully?"
"If you lose money in the gold business, you will be responsible for the profits and losses. Now if the business loses money, it will fall on our Luo family. How can it be such a good thing?"
"Anyway, you just don't want to suffer any losses, you don't want to take any risks, but you just want to make a lot of money?"
"It's such a good thing that you can definitely make money without losing money, but it's your turn? Our Luo family still has thousands of mouths?"
The old man with a goatee was surrounded by several strong men and scolded him. They couldn't argue or push him, and his expression became more and more anxious. Finally, someone pushed him, and the old man fell to the ground.
Fortunately for him, he rolled on the ground and cried:
"This is my son's salary for a year... He works as a helper at Shanzhen House, and he gets up early every day and works late at night... I wanted to keep this salary for him to marry later..."
"Stop howling." Just as Luo Cheng was sneering, the corner of his eye suddenly twitched and he noticed the silent Qiao Mu next to him.
He gritted his teeth and patted the shoulder of the man in front of him:
"Ah He, do you have any money with you? I borrowed forty taels from my uncle and gave it to Lao Yang as compensation."
"Uncle Cheng? Are you serious?" The two young men stared wide-eyed.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Luo Cheng felt the needle on his back more and more, urging:
"I'll just take it as my uncle's loan to you."
Several young men looked at each other, totaled it up, collected forty taels of silver from their bodies, and handed it over.
When the old man with the goatee saw the money, tears rolled down his face, and his whole look changed.
"Luo Cheng, you're such a capable person." He grabbed the money bag and ran away, his movements were quite neat, and he disappeared in a flash.
"Mr. Qiao..." Merchant Luo Cheng sighed this time:
"When I say that, you might think I'm excusing myself."
"But that old thing...Old Yang is really not a good person. It is true that his son works as a helper in Shanzhen Building, but he himself is an old gambler."
"Is there any chance that these forty taels of silver will be returned to his son?"
"Oh." Qiao Mu said:
"He is a gambling dog who does not deserve sympathy, and you are a profiteer who defrauded gambling dogs of their money?"
The corner of the merchant Luo Cheng's eyes twitched, but he did not dare to refute.
"Uncle Cheng, is this from outside?" Several young men turned around and looked at Qiao Mu with cold faces.
"They are distinguished guests from outside." Luo Cheng said quickly:
"Where is our clan leader now? I have something important to do with him."
"Clan leader? He is at the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall is quite lively now. You can still catch up when you go there."
Luo Cheng sighed inwardly and hurriedly led Qiao Mu to Luo's ancestral hall.
The Luo family is a relatively large clan in Taotie City, with thousands of members.
The ancestral hall is originally the place where clan affairs are discussed. It only gets lively when important events happen or when ancestors are worshipped.
When Luo Cheng rushed to the ancestral hall today, dozens or hundreds of clan members were already sitting there. It could be said that it was crowded and lively.
Today is not the time to worship ancestors, but the Luo family members are discussing something in the ancestral hall, and the discussion is in full swing.
"Brother, ten taels of gold will be sold to you for only fifty taels of silver. If I were an outsider, I wouldn't sell it so cheaply." A big man said to another person in a low voice.
"Are your ten taels of gold real gold?"
"....almost."
"What do you mean it's almost the same? True is true, false is false."
"No, according to my experience, I estimate that in three days, it will become ten taels of real gold. Do you want it?"
"Can we count what will happen in three days? I also said that I can pick up one thousand taels of gold in three days!"
"That's different. If I hold this stone for three more days, it will turn into real gold."
"I don't believe it. Let's wait until it turns into gold."
"You idiot, you don't know the goods... It will turn into gold in three days, but it won't be worth this price then." The man sneered.
Qiao Mu frowned slightly when he heard this, and turned his ear to another place. There were also several men talking animatedly:
"You want to sell me fifty taels of silver? But I remember yesterday's gold price. It wasn't this number, or was it thirty taels?"
"Hello, the price of gold changes every day, sometimes high and sometimes low. If someone takes over, the price will rise, and if no one takes over, the price will fall. But according to my experience, the price of gold will continue to rise in the next few days."
"I see that you and I have a good relationship, so I'm willing to take you to make money together."
Inside and outside the ancestral hall, many Luo family men discussed topics, and most of them could not escape from one word: gold.
Even the merchant Luo Cheng had just walked into the ancestral hall, and soon an acquaintance came towards him:
