Chapter 38 The Lord, Selling For Glory (2)(1/2)
But then he thought that he had encountered a difficult problem recently, and he really needed such a person to solve the problem. No matter whether he was true or false, this mysterious saying looked like a fairy-like Taoist bone.
If his "eloquence" can convince the boss and the others, it would be considered as his keen eyes and has made a contribution. If he cannot, he can also show off his intention to serve the boss. He was worried and was a little confused and was deceived by this scammer.
During the day, he would take one step ahead of everyone, kill him as a warning to others, to show his regret and anger, and finally he could be completely clean.
Thinking that no matter how you do it, Cheng Ren's eyes rolled, his scarred face pretended to be questioned, and he said disbelief, "If you really have the ability, how could you end up begging like this?"
The man in green was silent for a moment, and Fang Shoutiao said, "I have no ability, I am just good at it."
At this moment, the person next to him suddenly exclaimed, "What is that?!"
Someone was startled and said, "What's the name?"
"Hey, look at me!"
Seeing that he was shocked, he didn't seem to be making a fuss. Someone impatiently looked in the direction he pointed, and his expression of disapproval at first stopped, and then his eyes widened.
Huh!
The man in blue dragged the wooden rows behind him, and brown and yellow rats suddenly slipped out. However, they were not thinner and black than ordinary rats, but they were all fat and strong, with big bean eyes rolling. When they heard the shocking sound, their ears suddenly trembled and were extremely alert. The next second, they kicked their short legs and ran away in scattering.
Then the wooden raft had no support and fell to the ground with a "splash". Fortunately, it was not high, and the person lying on it was still staying steadily.
But when the man in green heard the movement, his always steady expression changed and rushed over immediately. He did not take off his cloak, but only fumbled through the cloak to check if there was any injury. Seeing that there was no problem, he thought of another realistic problem and murmured in a little annoyed, "I'm running away now, I don't know how much effort it will take to find it."
As the saying goes, if you don’t do anything to be a family, you don’t know that firewood, firewood, oil and salt are expensive. He was born a nobleman and never felt troublesome because of daily needs. Someone took the food, accommodation and departure to solve the problem first. Now, when you go out alone to experience the world like this, you will know what a penny is or a hero.
"Fang, what was that just now? Why were there rats hiding under...that board?"
Someone suddenly reacted and stuttered, "I, I'm right, those big rats are rats, right? They seem to be under the wooden raft and holding the wood..."
Speaking of this, he was dumbfounded and his mouth twitched, "It, they are not helping to lift people, are they?"
After saying that, he looked at each other with the others.
"No, how is this possible! The mouse couldn't understand human words, so he probably just happened to hide below..." The man said the more he spoke, the less he sounded, and in the end he even thought his words were ridiculous.
No, the first strong man to leave the tavern to "release the water" vaguely remembered that the man in green was dragging the wooden raft that was about to fall apart, not breathing or sweating, and looked at ease. But when he remembered his literati figure, he couldn't stand the weight of a pair of frames and a person's body, not to mention that he had never done a heavy man at a glance. He pulled the tow rope so big, which made it even more laborious to wear and consume.
Unless...no, is this really what he did?!
"Then, that's your ability?" Cheng Ren said in a shocked face, but a hint of dark joy flashed across his face. He thought to himself, could he be really a capable person?!
The man in blue lowered his eyes and pursed his gray lips, but he did not answer, but it seemed like the default of another attitude.
Cheng Ren could no longer hold back and let the others stare at the man in green, and then ran into a big mansion with red door of Shishishi. After a while, he was panting and led the three people back.
These three people are two men and one woman, both of whom are not old, but they are different from the arrogant aura of the people around them. They are the leaders of this group of private escorts.
The boss's name is Qin Jian. He is tall and handsome. His facial features are three-dimensional, thin lips and big eyes, but when combined, he is not handsome. Instead, he has a kind of cold and heartless appearance.
The second leader's beggar is a little shorter than Qin Jian's height. His hair is dry and yellow, and his appearance is inconspicuous, but he is not thin. His arms and calves are thick like apes. He smiles with everyone, but there is a seven-point scheming hidden in his eyes.
The third leader is named Huaihua. She is a woman in her twenties with a woman with a bun. She looks ordinary, has thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and looks more powerful than ordinary men. She is very powerful and powerful.
As soon as Cheng Ren led the three of them, the others immediately became much more restrained. After they said hello one by one, they felt like they were retreating and letting the scene be given to the three of them to deal with it.
Qin Jian was dressed in cloth straw sandals and the most ordinary peasant outfit, but he still looked different from ordinary people. Perhaps his eyes were too penetrating, or perhaps because he had a kind of fortitude that no other people did.
He crossed everyone, his eyes fell on the man in green, and looked him from head to toe for a while.
"I heard that you can tell fortunes?" he said.
It goes without saying whoever says it.
"Is it the rumored divination technique that can know the past and past events?" The second head of the army, with his hand on his back, turned his head curiously and asked.
Seeing that the head of the family was asking about this, they all stared at the man in green with bright eyes, waiting for his answer.
Compared to their curious examination of the man in Qing, the man in Qing became interested in the other party. He replied without looking sideways, "My abilities are limited, and I can distinguish the dangers of crisis and wealth, and the rest... are all left to fate and doing my best."
The content of this sentence made Qin Jian frown, and Hua Liu raised his eyebrows and looked at him slightly deeper, while Huaihua... she said she didn't understand much.
She hit the shoulder of Liuli and asked, "Dragon, what does he mean?"
Among the three of them, although Qin Jian looked more meticulous, he actually studied the most in his sixties. He was usually the most flexible in his mind. He liked to find out some strange things with others, so he usually didn't understand things, so they basically asked him for questions.
The sixty-eighth girl was hit by this strange girl and almost fell.
He stabilized his body, gave her a blank look, turned back to the man in blue, and smiled again, but said with a dangerous tone, "What he meant is... His so-called divination can only help us distinguish where there is danger and where there is wealth. As for how to remove the danger and how to obtain wealth, it depends on our own ideas."
This explanation is straightforward enough. Not to mention that Huaihua can understand it, basically anyone who is not mentally retarded can understand it.
And because of the understanding, the atmosphere became a little nervous.
Judging from what he meant, he just planned to make a big pie for them and then crouched behind them as a hand-off manager? Does he have such a big brand and such a huge net worth to allow them to provide unconditionally?
He really thinks he is the unparalleled Mr. Xiang Bo, or the Zhao State Houqing Prime Minister who has decided on the world?
Everyone looked contemptuous.
But at this moment, Huaihua suddenly slapped her thigh in surprise, "Hey, this is not the right way! We are worried about not knowing which road to go. If he can point out which one is the wolf and tiger cave and which one is the road to wealth and prosperity, then will we have a smooth journey and not going to go that detour?"
Her words were like a peach blossom land in the canyon, which made Qin Jian and Hua Liu suddenly enlightened.
That's right, what they need at present is not soldiers, but strategists. Besides, with his body, if he really follows them to the battlefield and fights with real swords and guns, they are afraid that he can't stand it.
Qin Jian gave a look and told Hualien to stop Huaihua from speaking again, but he said without showing any thoughts, "Where are you from?"
This is not the topic that just now.
I knew that if there was no trace of water, they would probably not believe him, so the man in green said, "Nanzhao Kingdom."
"Nanzhao Kingdom?"
This place doesn't seem to be in the Central Plains of Jiuzhou, and they have basically never heard of this horned place.
Huajiao said, "You are from a foreign land."
Listening to his incongruous tone, he doesn't look like the people on their side.
The man in blue hesitated for a moment and nodded.
He knew that the Central Plains people have always called foreigners in the southern and northern regions of the border.
Qin Jian pondered for a moment, and his thin lips raised his head and said, "If you are really capable, then I will give you a chance. Today I will open the city gates until sunset, and you will divine how many people will enter the city. If the number you dig during the day does not match the number you divine, one person or one more person will die!"
Although he lacks such a person now, the premise is that he really has the ability he brags about.
Although Cheng Ren told the three of them some bizarre things that happened here before, if it weren't for this, they wouldn't have come here in person, but they didn't see it with their own eyes and heard it as false. They still need him to prove himself with conclusive facts.
The man in Qing was not surprised by their request. No one was foolish. They did not accept it completely without doubt when he surrendered. So he agreed.
People from the Tianming lineage of the Witch Clan were born to inherit Tianming. Calculation and divination are one aspect. If it is powerful, if the Tianming Clan is old, even the national fortune can be deduced, let alone such a small matter, there is no difficulty for him.
Without any tools, he looked at him and walked to an old tree with new buds. Everyone stared at his every move, as if curious about what he was going to do.
I saw him slap a piece of hanging branches with a blow, and a few yellow leaves that were already shaking slowly fell down. He stared at the dead leaves quietly for a while.
He said "Five."
ha?
What five people?
Soon, they realized that they had thought that the boss had told him to calculate how many people were entering the city today?
He gave the answer, five people.
Puchi-
Someone couldn't help laughing, the mockery on his face could not be too obvious, and he joked with the person next to him.
This person is afraid that this ghost county town has long been the nearby Guijianchou area. Not long ago, he was looted by bandits and later destroyed by them. If you meet someone in this bloody place, you would rather take a long way than step in to find bad luck.
During this period, he was the only one in total. Oh, and apart from the person he was dragging him, he had never even had a strange fly flying in.
But he did not think that he had slapped a tree and fell a few fallen leaves. He praised him for saying that five people would come to the city. Could he really think someone would come?
At this moment, few people believed that the man in green was really capable of making a fortune as he said, and they unanimously believed that he was a liar in the world.
But since Qin Jian opened this mouth and gave him this opportunity, even if the final result was wrong, he had to wait until the result came out. Killing him then would just waste a few hours.
Hua Jie felt that this man in blue had a very special temperament. He had seen many scammers who rely on eloquence to gain trust from others. These people had no exception, but their eyes were frivolous and their mouths were smooth, but this person was different.
Although he is young, he is confident. Even if other people's doubts are almost turned into sharp swords, his eyes are as bright as the moon and bright as the bright moon, and hesitation is not shining.
Huaihua was straight, she felt that no matter whether it was true or false, she would know when she saw the result. Although the man in blue had really felt a little funny just now, there was nothing to make a fuss about.
"Shut up to me! What's the matter? Wait!"
Her shouting immediately calmed down the different voices of the crowd, and no one targeted the man in green on the surface.
The next afternoon, they casually ate a few bites and called the rest of the army. A hundred people stood by the street and stared at the city gate with all their concentration.
From noon to sunset, two people really came during this period, one old and one young, two poor grandparents and grandchildren who came to join the rich relatives. They went from disbelief at the beginning to half-believing and half-doubting at the back, and even had some expectations, but seeing that the sunset had arrived, even the third person had not appeared, let alone five.
At that moment, they were immediately ashamed that they almost believed in a gangster who was just a little more lucky!
But the man in blue did not realize the urgency of time. He seemed to be planning from beginning to end. It would be really a frightening thing to say that he looked like this.
So, everyone was struggling again. Seeing that the time was almost over, they didn't care about waiting for another half an hour after a day. However, their eyes gradually became unkind, as if once the agreed time was reached, they would not leave him in this world with the man in green.
And even in the state of cold and calmness while sharpening the knife, the sun was about to set...
To be continued...
