Chapter 568: Mr. Li
On this day, the city of the Jiu Yuan is still the same. It's tight outside and loose inside.
There are special fairs in and out of the city, where you can buy weapons, cultivation or life needs.
Every month, there will be a large market in the inner and outer cities, which is located in the square of the outer city. On this day, people gather in and around the outer city square. During this period, in addition to the children of the Jiu Yuan, a large number of other cities and ethnic groups can be seen in the market.
Today, December 12, the coldest time of the year, but because there is a big market today, there are still many people who come to the outer city square despite the cold.
The snow in the outer city square has been cleared and piled up nearby. Just in the morning, the square has already become a lively atmosphere. The central location is almost full, and more than 70% of the stalls in the square have been occupied.
The whole market consists of three circles, in which there is a meter wide road. The circle is divided to make the whole square accessible.
The outer circle of stone houses is the original market street. The shops in this ring Street are all the fixed shops of the Jiu Yuan.
The second circle is a stone house built by for temporary visitors. Two rows of houses are built back to back. There is no aisle in the middle, which is specially provided for visitors from afar. According to the size of the stone house and the friendliness of the visitors and the Jiu Yuan, the visiting price is not the same.
In the third circle, there are temporary houses for vendors who come with tickets. They also have stone houses to stay in. However, the houses use pillars to bear weight regardless of the s.p.a.ce. They look like pavement shops.
For guests coming from afar, the Jiu Yuan not only provides stalls, but also provides services of renting stone houses, tents, warehouses, coal stoves, etc.
"What's a coal stove?" asked the first stranger curiously.
Ye Xing pointed to a stone house nearby. "Do you see that the middle objects surrounded by those people, those are coal stoves, coal fired stoves, one of our specialties of the Jiu Yuan. After Priest DRen's instruction, this kind of coal stove has been transformed by experts for many times. People and animals can sit in a circle and cook things and water on it. It's warm and convenient, and it's quick to clean up!”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he jokingly added, “Let's rent it. Don't be reluctant. It's a miracle! You will never regret using it. I've told people that we must take ten or eight of it when we go back this time. It's colder there than here in winter. Even though we don't have coal, the manager said that if the stove is changed a little, it can burn firewood in addition to coal, which is especially suitable for us."
Coming on, a senior manager of Ancheng-Dark City immediately said to Ye Xing, “Let's rent one, no, two!"
They are also living in the cold, wet and cold weather. In winter, everyone would like to live by the fire. He plans to try whether this thing is really easy to use first. If it's as good as this tourist said, they won't be stingy of yuan crystal coins to buy the lot.
"You are distinguished guests. I will give you the first basket of coal for the coal stove." Ye Xing's expression was like this was a small thing, which took the matter that the coal stove has to buy coal.
"Thank you." The senior manager of the Ancheng-Dark City was not happy that the Jiu Yuan had only sent a teenager to receive him, but he still maintained the superficial etiquette. As mentioned above, no one is allowed to offend anyone in the Jiu Yuan, especially their officers, without clear instructions.
Ye Xing smiled and blinked, looking very simple and friendly. “In addition to coal, we also provide meat and temporary mounts. In addition, hunting is not allowed near the city. If you want to hunt, you must go to a designated place. Please understand this. "
"Of course." The top management of Ancheng-Dark City is not here to cause trouble. They have got the exact news that the Chong-Bugs people have fallen out with the Huocheng-Fire City. Their chief and Great Witch took the initiative to bring a large number of warriors and the Bugs People's Witch to support the Jiu Yuan.
Now Huocheng-Fire City is having hard time to support on its own, which is a bit awkward.
But just this morning, the senior manager of the Ancheng-Dark City could have sworn that he saw the back of the Huocheng-Fire City high priest An-Bu being walking to the Jiu Yuan City.
While walking, Ye Xing skillfully promoted the special products of the Jiu Yuan. After a round of visits, the senior manager of Ancheng-Dark City didn't know how many things he had rented or ordered.
But he didn't worry about it for long, and soon the items he wanted were sent along with the list.
Ye Xing pointed to the list and told him: "Dear guest, all the items you requested are on it. Do you see any mistakes? In addition, this is the rental list and order list that our tribe can provide. If you have any special needs, you can ask the patrol manager in the square at any time. If you don't want anything, you can ask them to return it at any time. "
The high-level of the Ancheng-Dark City is very satisfied with the considerate service of the Jiu Yuan with a clear list. "This is the dwarf specialty paper, it looked really exquisite. Do you sell these papers, too?”
"Of course, we, the Jiu Yuan and the dwarfs, are brothers' tribe. There are dwarf shops in the market. You can buy paper in both dwarf shops and my tribal shops. "
“In terms of price?"
“It's all on the list, please look at it. However, this is only the unified price of the most used paper provided by our tribe. The price of paper varies according to thickness, hardness, color and purpose. All of these need to be negotiated by the guests themselves. Of course, if you are in trouble, you can give talk the price at your own discretion. "
"Well, let me see it first." Seeing so many good things on the list, even the bone objects above 6th rank, the senior manager of the Ancheng-Dark City couldn't sit down. He wished he could go out for a walk now.
Ye Xing wanted to leave, but the other party held him back. Later, he pointed to the item in the list and asked him what it is and what it is.
Ye Xing was getting impatient, but he still has a friendly and warm smile on his face.
“Mr. Li!" Ye Xing's eyes brightened and shouted to the slender man coming.
Mr. Li looked like Ye Xing. He turned around. "Ye Xing, it's you. I haven't seen you go to school these days. Is Priest DRen making you responsible for the market?"
Ye Xing is proud of himself and tries not to show his face, "Shifu asked me to receive some important guests."
Just as the senior management of Ancheng-Dark City came to see it, Mr. Li smiled and nodded, "h.e.l.lo, distinguished guest from afar, may the Ancestor G.o.d shine on you."
Seeing Ye Xing's respect for Mr. Li, the senior manager of the Ancheng-Dark City dared not look down upon him, especially the other's warrior level. He nodded to Mr. Li in a reserved way and replied: "The Dark G.o.d will bless you in the dark times." [1] This is weird
In such an interruption, the senior management of Ancheng-Dark City was also embarra.s.sed to stay. Ye Xing was very responsible. He called a market steward and asked him to explain it to the distinguished guests of Ancheng-Dark City. Then he left.
Ye Xing wanted to see the settlement of other guests, but he didn't take a few steps to meet Mr. Li.
“We have met again." Mr. Li smiled.
Ye Xing looked at the shop he just came out of. It's the outer city shop that Shifu gave them to earn some pocket money. Because the products in it often come out of the old shop, and there will be some treasures from time to time. It's already more popular than other shops. Later, it's unknown who spread the news, saying that the items that the Priest wanted to make by himself can only be bought at his disciples' shops, The two shops inside and outside the city under their small staff have become the most popular shops of the Jiu Yuan people, especially the foreigners, none of them will be skipped in any visit.
Ye Xing and Mr. Li walked side by side, "Would you like to buy bone objects?"
“It's a little bit hasty. They haven't got any bone objects for me, but I'm not in a hurry. It's the best if I can see, even if I can't buy." Mr. Li said he didn't care too much.
Ye Xing is very interested in it. “If you really need it, I'll talk to Sa Yu. You shouldn't see that he's young. In sculpting bone objects, our Shifu priest DRen also praised him personally. Now he can stably sculpt 3rd rank bone objects and occasionally 4th rank."
Mr. Li didn't laugh.
Ye Xing grabbed the head in a bad way. “Bone objects level is a little lower, but the bone objects made by Sa Yu are really good."
“I know he's very talented in bone objects." Mr. Li patted him, “I'm looking forward to his future growth."
Ye Xing was even sorrier, hesitated for a moment, and said, “If you need advanced level other bone objects, or..."
Mr. Li's heart missed a beat. Will Ye Xing recommend it to his Shifu?
Ye Xing, “I will go to see Sumen. Among the tribesmen he brought, there was a Sculptor. It's said that his highest refining capacity is 9th rank bone objects, which is quite amazing."
Mr. Li couldn't say whether he was disappointed or anything, and reluctantly smiled, "Who is Sumen? Why haven't I heard his name? Is he in school?”
Ye Xing said, “Ah," Sumen didn't go to school for the time being. Shifu is afraid of him being bullied."
"Oh? He's weak?”
“No." Ye Xing looked around and thought that Mr. Li was a school teacher and taught a big cla.s.s. Sooner or later, he would see Sumen. Moreover, the news that Sumen came here is not a secret. He said, "Sumen is one of the Horn-people, but he is not the Red-Horn clan and the Black-Horn clan who are fighting with us, but the White-Horn clan who is more gentle and friendly."
Mr. Li's eyelids jumped, and he lost his voice: "The White-Horn clan? How could tribesmen, a bone sculptor, enter the Jiu Yuan and prepare to go to school here? When did this happen? When did they come? Why didn't anyone know?”
Ye Xing stared at Mr. Li strangely. "Of course, no one knows about it, but there are few people who know about it. It's just that Sumen has been following Sister Cao Ting in the battlefield to help the wounded. There are not many people in the city who know about it at present. What's the matter with you, Mr. Li? You seem surprised, very... worried?”
Mr. Li wryly smiled, “I'm really surprised and worried. After all, they are the Bone Sculpting People, priest DRen. How can they...?"
Ye Xing was not happy. "Shifu has his reasons for doing everything, and how can you know that Sumen is a bad guy if you haven't met him? Even Jiu Feng DRen said that Sumen is very good! Shifu also said that Sumen is very good. He is the new disciple he received in the western continent. He is our junior brother! Sister Cao Ting said that Sumen and the people he brought helped them a lot in the battlefield and saved a lot of people. "
“Is it?" Mr. Li said with a smile. “I believe priest DRen and some of your little guys have eyes. Since you say that Sumen is no problem, he must be no problem."
"Hmmm!" Ye Xing only saw Sumen once, and didn't have a bad impression on him, but Sumen is his junior brother. No matter what kind of person he is, he won't allow anyone to bully his junior brother until Shifu scold him, even if he can't talk about it!
Mr. Li sneered in his heart. Yan Mo is really a smart man. He arranged a Horn-people to help in the battlefield. No matter how much he can help, first, if they see his Horn-people they will surely regard him as a traitor. Secondly, the Jiu Yuan people and their allies will change their att.i.tude towards Sumen from hostility to acceptance.
Although I don't understand what it means for Yan Mo to come back with the Horn-people as a disciple, it may be an opportunity for him to know when the White-Horn clan named Sumen will return to the city of Jiu Yuan.
He must find out whether Sumen is willing to follow Yan Mo and what kind of att.i.tude he brings.
Ye Xing thinks that Mr. Li seems to care too much about Sumen, which makes him have a little knot of worry in his heart. The teenager was worried about what harm this Mr. Li would do to Sumen because he hated the Horn-people, so he decided to pay more attention to his future words and deeds.
“By the way, priest DRen and chief have been back for several days. Isn't there a grand celebration? No?” Mr. Li took the initiative to change the subject.
Ye Xing's showed his normal face, "Shifu said it's a waste, we should wait until we defeat the Horn-people."
Mr. Li chuckled and said, “In fact, it's not necessarily a waste. As the priest, his face is more stable. But when he came back, if he ran to the battlefield area again. Those distinguished guests who wanted to see him may be wanting to recover more to attack here again. "
Ye Xing opened his mouth to say that Shifu is in the city of the Jiu Yuan without going to the battlefield area, but he swallowed it again.
Mr. Li is very good. Most of the students in the school like him very much, but he still don't know what he should shouldn't let him know.
As a member of the management of the Jiu Yuan advanced level, though young, Ye Xing has at least three times more carefulness and suspicions than ordinary man.
Mr. Li paid special attention to the expression of Ye Xing, but he couldn't tell whether Yan Mo was in the city or not from the other side's face.
Ye Xing and Mr. Li walked side by side for a while and were soon called away.
Mr. Li stood still and watched Ye Xing enter an outsider shop. After thinking for a moment, the man turned his heel and walked to the Black Earth City shop, which is the remnant force of Tucheng-Earth City and has a vague att.i.tude at present.
The Black Earth City, a power of the middle city, after the king of Tucheng-Earth City died, it didn't say that it wanted to return to the Jiu Yuan as an affiliated middle city or partic.i.p.ate in the next battle for the position of the Nine Great Cities, so it lived its own life in an indistinct way.
But not long ago, Princess Miao Xiang, the only blood of Tucheng-Earth City, died in the hands of the Jiu Yuan chief, and the Chong-Bugs people who helped the Miao Xiang forces, preferred to split with the Huocheng-Fire City and also to join the Jiu Yuan. After the news came out, the middle and lower cities, which were originally affiliated to Tucheng-Earth City, began to actively start to establish contacts with the Jiu Yuan.
This time, even the most ambivalent Black Earth City sent people. But according to anecdotal sources, the Black Earth city is said to be here, to welcome back their Great Prince, Zhi Zi.
Mr. Li entered the Black Earth City store, uses the fastest speed to find the person he wanted to find, pretended to check the goods and he slowly walked to the target, turned his wrist, and displays something, “I want this, do you have any goods?"
After seeing what Mr. Li held, a middle aged man's eyes contracted and he raised his heads slowly.
Mr. Li gave him a gentle smile.
The middle aged man suddenly shivered, quickly lowered their heads, lowered their voices, and said in fear, "DRen, the goods you want are very rare. Please, let's talk inside."
