C31 Benefits?

At that moment, the two of them took the tea from the waiter and sat down.

Mr Zhou said, "I've counted your tiger skin. There are a total of twenty-three pieces. I bid twenty taels for each piece. That's a total of four hundred and sixty taels. This is the first time little brother has made a deal with me, so I don't want to be too petty. How about this, I'll bid another forty taels. What do you think, little brother? "

Guxing didn't know much about the matter of 500 taels of silver. He didn't know what the concept of 500 taels was, but he remained indifferent. Bao, on the other hand, felt his heart tighten. He tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and said. "Mr Zhou, it isn't easy for this little brother of mine to go down the mountain. My family is still in a hurry to use the money. These. . . "

"Then add another 100 taels!"

Mr Zhou cut off Bao's words and said to Guxing: "Since little brother has difficulties at home, as the older brother, I naturally have to help. These extra 100 taels are all my thoughts. I hope little brother can take care of me in the future.

"Mr Zhou is forthright. I will thank him on behalf of my family. Business matters can be discussed in the future. "

Unconsciously, Mr Zhou pulled the relationship between him and Guxing to the point of calling him brother again. Bao was shocked, but at the same time, he could not help but curse in his heart," Old fox. "

Receiving the six hundred silver notes from the accountant, the two of them did not stay any longer. After saying goodbye to each other, they left in a hurry.

At this time, a shop assistant in the shop asked: "I say, shopkeeper, normally, you always advise us to lower the price as much as possible. Why is it today? Could it be that this tiger skin is really a treasure? "

Mr Zhou laughed coldly, "Treasure is naturally a treasure, and the art of skinning is also peerless. But if that's all, there's no need for me to be so humble. "

The waiter was stunned for a moment before he asked, "Then why?"

Mr Zhou drank a mouthful of tea and said firmly, "Do you really think I am offering a high price? On the contrary, the price I am giving him is already so low that it cannot be any lower. "

"Ah?" The shop assistant immediately cried out in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

"You will know in the future. And that is not the most important thing. "

Mr Zhou said. "I just asked him how much stock is left in the house. Although that kid answered me very quickly, I know that he has at least 300 more!"

As expected of an experienced man who had seen through Guxing's background in an instant. However, he still guessed too little. There were more than a thousand tiger skins in Guxing's hands. The waiter immediately bent down and said respectfully: "Shopkeeper, please enlighten me. "

"You ah, you still need to learn a bit more from observing words and expressions"

Mr Zhou patted the waiter's shoulder and instructed him. "Ask more people to go to Bao's place to do some activities in the next few days. Find out what kind of background this guy has. "

"Background?" The waiter didn't understand and said, "Isn't he a distant relative of Bao?"

"What distant relative!" Mr Zhou cursed in his heart and scolded, "That Bao has never been to the mountains in his entire life. How can he have distant relatives?"

The shop assistant was stunned and did not dare to say anything.

. . .

"Big brother, just accept it. "

Guxing took out a hundred taels and handed it to Bao. He said, "Thank you for taking care of me just now, big brother. And the extra hundred taels is your credit. "

Bao immediately pushed him away and said angrily, "Little brother, you look down on me. It's just a small matter. Don't mention it again. Quickly put away the silver taels. "

After declining for a while, Guxing saw that Bao was still unwilling to accept it. He immediately had a plan in his mind and said, "Big brother has misunderstood. This silver taels was not given to you for free. It is because I am new here and am not familiar with everything here. I beg Big Brother to take me around and find a place to rest. These two silver rights will be compensation for delaying big brother's business. "

Bao said, "Little brother, you are an outsider. What business isn't business? As for the place to rest, if little brother doesn't mind, my home is to the west of the street. Although it isn't spacious, it is more than enough to accommodate the two of us. "

"Does this mean that big brother's wife is not here?"

"Haha. " Bao immediately laughed at himself. "Big brother has not married yet. Where did the wife come from?"

Guxing saw that Bao was almost thirty years old. Although he was a little tanned, he could be considered handsome. The bun shop behind him was not small either. He could not help asking curiously. "Then why didn't big brother marry one?"

Bao suddenly trembled and said with a bitter smile, "In the past, there was a person who liked it. It was just that he was later persecuted. Forget it, it's all in the past. Why mention it?"

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the shop without waiting for Guxing's reaction. In the end, he still did not accept Guxing's silver.

"This person is quite attentive. "

At this time, Xiao Yue, who hadn't appeared for a long time, suddenly said.

"Ms Yue?"

Guxing was shocked and said, "Where are you? Why can't I see you?"

Xiao Yue smiled and said, " Idiot, stop looking. I'm in the sword, you won't be able to find me. "

"You can see me?"

"Of course I can, but you can't see me "

Xiao Yue said, "There are a lot of people here, so it will be inconvenient for me to come out in the future. Just say it in your heart when you want to call me, I can hear you. "

"Why not? Didn't other people not see you?"

Guxing said. "And why have I never seen you use this move before?"

"Idiot, did I use this before?"

Xiao Yue scolded Guxing and said, "Normal people can't see me. But those strong people are not easy to deal with. Once I am discovered by them, will you still have a good life?"

Guxing suddenly realized.

"The Jianghu is a dangerous place. To think that you would meet such a righteous big brother the moment you come out. You are truly a fool with good fortune. "

Guxing immediately tried to reply in his heart, "Bao is indeed a good man, and it seems like he has some difficulties. "

Xiao Yue said faintly: "I'm afraid it's because of the person you love, he is also a love-struck lover. "

"Oh right, may I ask for your name, little brother?" At this moment, Bao came out of the room and asked Guxing.

Guxing immediately cupped his fists and said, "Yeh Guxing, may I know your name?"

Bao laughed loudly and said, "I'm just a bun seller, where did I get my name from? My surname is Bao, and my name is Hong. If Yeh doesn't mind, you can just call me Bao. But Yeh's name is very neat! "

" You flatter me, Bao. "

Guxing modestly said, "Oh right, Bao. Is this the martial arts world? Why don't I see those chivalrous men? "

Bao Hong smiled when he heard that. "From the way you dress, I think you came down the mountain just to travel the Pugilistic World?"

Guxing quickly agreed.

"Haha, that old fox Zhou Huai must have been tricked by you. I knew it, those 100 beaks of yours were just beak heads. "

Beak heads? Guxing smiled and did not comment.

Bao Hong saw that Guxing's sword was still in his hand, and he was curious about everything. He was even more convinced that Guxing was a hothead who had never seen the market before.

"Yeh asked this question. It can be seen that you are a man in the Jianghu, but you don't know the Jianghu. "

Bao Hong let out a long sigh and said, "What is the Jianghu? Where there are people, the martial arts world is where there are grudges. The place is the Jianghu, the Jianghu is everywhere! How can you say that there isn't?"

Guxing was stunned for a moment. He was actually unable to say anything in response to the argument.

"But it's no wonder that you would ask that. This is just a border town in Chu Kingdom, where would there be so many grudges and grudges? If you really want to broaden your horizons, you might as well go to some bigger cities. "

Bao Hong paused for a moment and then said: "Those big cities are full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many experts in large numbers. Those who are competing in the open and in the dark, it is very lively. "

"Chu Kingdom?"

Guxing was puzzled. "Are we in the Chu Kingdom?" Guxing asked.

Although he had heard the old man talk about the martial world, it was all about fighting and killing. He knew nothing about other things.

Seeing this, Bao Hong asked helplessly, "I'm afraid you don't even know where you are, do you?"

When he saw Guxing shaking his head, he immediately slapped his own forehead and said, "You brat, whatever. Big brother will tell you about this world today. "

Guxing said in a hurry, "Please advise me, Bao. "

"Alright. Brother, listen to me carefully. "

Bao Hong made up his mind and said, "There are a total of seven kingdoms in this world. According to their strength, they are Qi, Shu, Song and Wu. Zhao, Yan and Chu. Of course, our Chu Kingdom is the strongest among the seven kingdoms. "

A trace of pride could be seen in Bao Hong's eyes as he said, "But in the northernmost wasteland outside of the seven kingdoms, there is a group of Barbarian Tribe living outside the border. These Barbarian Tribe are all ruthless and cruel. They dream of subverting the seven kingdoms and invading the Central Plains. Especially our Chu Kingdom, which is the closest to the Barbarian Tribe. Every war will bear the brunt of it. "

"Oh? If that's the case, the strength of the Chu Kingdom should have been greatly depleted. Why hasn't it decreased yet, but instead, it has increased?" Guxing was puzzled.

"Haha, you don't understand this, do you?"

Bao Hong laughed and said, "The strength here is divided by military strength. Indeed, in the war in Chu Kingdom, the strength is gradually weakened, but the combat ability of the soldiers is enhanced time and time again, especially when it is time for Chu Feng to be in power. He is trying his best to rule, and he has won the Barbarian Tribe three times in a row. It is very satisfying. "

"So powerful!"

Guxing secretly praised and said, "But the Barbarian Tribe is so arrogant and despotic. Are the other six countries just going to sit there and do nothing?"

"Them?"

Bao Hong immediately snorted and said, "It has nothing to do with them. It is not too late for them to be happy. Why would they help?"

Bao Hong said with a pained heart, "The seven kingdoms seem to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact, undercurrents are surging. They schemed against each other and are on guard against each other. Otherwise, our army of ten million would not be afraid of a small Barbarian Tribe outside the border. "

"Although the seven kingdoms don't get along, the Barbarian Tribe is still an outsider. How could they bear to see Chu Kingdom fall into the hands of an outsider?"

Bao Hong let out a long sigh and said, "In the face of absolute benefits, there is no such thing as national righteousness. "

Guxing was speechless.
