Chapter 47: The Central Game, the Change from the Outside (Part 1)

"You tell me, will your uncle use your head to give gifts?" Zou Tong said gloomyly.

"This..." Du Hong shivered for no reason - he knew too well how cruel and ruthless his own uncle was, "Okay... For Uncle Zou, for you, for your uncle, and for the Hengjiang Gang Daye, I am willing to sacrifice my nephew..."

He was angry and afraid, and he could not hear the righteousness of these words at all. He raised his hand and took out two talismans from his arms tremblingly.

One is the flying fish piercing wave talisman, and the other is the True Yuan Body Guardian.

The former is equivalent to water escape, but the speed is not as fast as the Five Elements Escape Technique, which is the speed of a swimming fish and dolphin, but it is enough to escape under the water; the latter can cover the body with a layer of innate qi, allowing the recipient to temporarily have the defense power of an innate master.

Both talismans are very practical spells. Du Hong has squandered his strength and has won it. With this wealth, the grassroots Bu Chen will be in vain for breakthrough and blood exchange! It’s just that we, Young Master Du, are reluctant to bleed.

"Yes." Zou Tong took the talisman without hesitation and stretched out his hand again.

Du Hong cried and understood that he could not keep any of his precious pills. He took out the medicine bottle from his arms with extreme reluctance. There were only ten pills inside, which were the spiritual pills that were passed down from the Jade Emperor Guan lineage - the Heavenly King's Heart-Replenishment Pill.

The Heavenly King’s Heart-Replenishing Pill and the Qi-Replenishing Pill are elixirs of the same level, and their effects are magical. The former is circulated by the monks of the Jade Emperor’s Shrine, and the latter is refined by the Yunqin Sect’s Yunqin, which are both of which are of no market value.

Talismans are still external objects, and elixirs are related to their own cultivation. If Du Hong used these elixirs, he could immediately break through and change blood. But he was reluctant and always planned to save a few more and take them together when he broke through the bones.

Originally, with his qualifications, he would be short of a break through and blood exchange.

Zou Tong took away the medicine bottle and reached out for the third time.

Du Hong said in shock: "It's gone!"

"The Heavenly Soldiers' Spiritual Talisman."

This is Du Hong’s most precious trump card. In terms of value, it can be exchanged for hundreds of Heavenly Kings’ Heart Replenishment Pills!

"That was my uncle who saved my life!" Du Hong said loudly with his neck.

A grim smile appeared on the corner of Zou Tong's mouth: "Are you planning to vomit blood or bleeding!"

——…—

Wind and fire forging, Yanli courtyard.

This small courtyard is not big, and six people are here, and it immediately looks small.

However, all those present were open-minded people, and no one was disgusted with being embarrassed.

"Zou Tong is very stingy." Yan Li commented, "and his stingy has penetrated into his bones."

No one understood very well, where Zou Tong's "stinginess" came from. Especially Duan Yan, who had been in the Hengjiang Gang for many years, thought he still knew the situation.

"No, I think the leader Zou is still very heroic!" Duan Yan said. It would be fine if he misread Du Xueyi. If Zou Tong had a problem, his vision of being the young leader is really...

"Ha, if you don't have some heroic style, you can't make it in Jianchuan City." Yan Li chuckled, "I'm afraid that in the eyes of the old Jianghu, his stinginess is already very famous."

"No way..." Duan Yan said with a glaring eyes.

Han Xi nodded and smiled, "It's true. After the Jiantao Pavilion held a banquet that day, the ancestor privately called him a stingy person."

Duan Yan became more confused as he heard it, and he said in confusion: "But it is already a rare big deal to book a big banquet in Jiantao Pavilion!"

"The Young Master also said that this is a 'rare' big deal. It can be seen that Zou Duozhu is reluctant to spend money on weekdays, so the big scene of the Hengjiang Gang is rare." Yan Li said, "The Young Master never thought that Zou Duozhu was a prestigious master, why did he use such a rare big deal to invite us?"

"Uh... Master Yan, you have a broken sword with a magical skill. You are famous for Jianchuan. You are the youngest sword-making master. The Hengjiang Gang admires you very much..." Duan Yan felt that this reason was quite reliable.

Yan Li blocked his mouth with one sentence: "There are so many masters in Jianchuan City, why do you just invite me, a young boy? And the invitation is so urgent. When we return to Fenghuo Forging, he will prepare everything after the foot? Is this Zou Dunzhu’s usual style of work?"

"Well..." Duan Yan lost his words.

"So, the reason is the opposite. It's not that Zou Tong is generous, but that he is too stingy on weekdays and no other master is willing to pay attention to him. So he can only support Yan, the rookie. I think that the day's turnover will definitely make him feel hurt!"

Yan Li paused and continued: "Since the completion of Jiangbei Wharf, the Hengjiang Gang and the Dongsha Gang were ruled by the river, and the conflicts have been reduced, but both sides are not giving up and want to defeat each other. The Dongsha Gang's actions are always one step faster than Zou Tong. They are the first to form an alliance with the Wang family, and while transporting the Lingjian Pavilion's weapons to the east of the river to make great profits; while using the Wang family's network of relationships, they reach into the Western Qin.

"This makes the Hengjiang Gang uneasy. Zou Tong is determined to find an ally, but the average popularity and a master with enough status does not buy his face, so he has to win over Yan through the line of You Shaozhu. Therefore, Wang Sanshan appeared at the banquet in a fierce manner. Because the Wang family was not only forced to fight by the ancestor Han, but also believed that this banquet was a challenge for the Hengjiang Gang to them.

"So, afterwards, the Han family and the Hengjiang Gang successfully formed an alliance, and the Wang family was destroyed. But at this time, Zou Tong's stinginess broke out."

Yan Li took a sip of tea and continued slowly: "With Kingdom City has a life-saving trump card. As a congenital master, Zou Tong doesn't have a few talismans? He would rather be at a disadvantage, even be able to survive five moves by the Kingdom City, and lose all his face than use it. His stinginess can be seen.

"At the last moment, King Kong City rushed towards us. Could it be that Master Zou really couldn't stop him? I'm afraid that at that moment, what he thought was: The Hengjiang Gang and the Han family had formed an alliance, the Fenghuo Forging was not very valuable, and there was nothing to die. If I hadn't prepared in advance, the result could be imagined."

Thinking of the scene when Wangguo City turned into a ghost and rushed over madly, Duan Yan and Han Xi both took a breath of air. The latter shook his head and smiled: "It's ridiculous that Zou Tong still thinks he is successful, but he doesn't know that he is stingy, our Han family will also be stingy. The pass token that promised him has not yet been settled. He probably has become an ant on the hot pan."

"Any innate masters are not fools." Yan Li nodded, "Although I gave Zou Tong a reassurance at that time, he still felt something had changed overnight and understood that the Han family was dissatisfied with him. He also understood that he had to compensate for the accident in Kingdom City, but at this time, his stinginess broke out again...

"He hopes to compensate for the price, that is, the gift should be as small as possible, so he has various temptations during the sword fighting the next day. His subconscious thought was: If the wind and fire forging is not important, then he only needs to compensate Han Xi for that one. If he can get back a master Yan's work at the same time, he will make a lot of money!"

"Puchi..." Several people present burst into laughter, including the youngest Gui Yun. They began to feel that Zou Tong was ridiculously stingy.

Shang Shaoqing reacted the fastest and immediately understood Yan Li's thoughts: "So when his brother fought with swords, he jumped over Du Hong and scolded him back today. Bu Chen broke through and changed his blood. His brother's status was long and the ship was high. No matter how stingy the master Zou was, he had to bleed heavily and add a heavier gift!"

"That's it. But my brother also said something was missing." Yan Li said, "The conflict between us and the Hengjiang Gang was at least openly due to Du Hong. With the stingy nature of Zou Dunzhu, he would probably strip away Du Hong's furniture and use it to relieve us."

"Not it..." Duan Yan was a little amused and crying. He had actually followed such a stingy person over the years.

"If you don't believe it, you will meet Du Hong tomorrow and ask him yourself."

"Can you see him tomorrow?"

"Haha." Yan Li smiled, "If Young Master Du came to the door in person without any miserableness, how could the sincerity of the Hengjiang Gang be reflected? This is also a necessary means to reduce the gift list."

"Hahaha..." Several people burst into laughter.

Only Shang Shaoqing's eyes flashed, and the word "discrimination" popped up inexplicably in his mind, and he thought to himself: The gift list of the Hengjiang Gang is already an outside game of the sword fighting. Now it seems that I am afraid that in addition to this game, my brother will have a bigger game!

Yan Li finally concluded: "The gift from the Hengjiang Gang can be used to buy property. The courtyard is still a little small, so it's time to consider moving. The young leader—"

"Hi!" Duan Yan responded very terrified, "Master Yan, Master Yan, where are you moving? My father's yard is bigger, and it just so happens that he also wants to be clean..."

Duan Yan understood very well that although his father Duan Heihu was the leader of Fenghuobao, Fenghuobao's current reputation and status were entirely based on Yan Li's reputation. With Yan Li's current master status, such a small courtyard is indeed a bit inferior.

Yan Li has a constant stream of visitors, and one is more terrifying than the other, such as the immortal dust and crane shadow, and the monk Guangjue... Every time he takes the guests to this small courtyard, Duan Heihu is disappointed. As for the father and the other two... where are they living, but not yet?

The Duan family and son are proud and straightforward, they really don’t care about this!

Of course, Yan Li couldn't be overshadowed, but fortunately she was prepared.

"The young master is generous..." He laughed, "But the master's courtyard is not big, so we should get it in one step."

"I dare to ask Young Master Yan, how can I get it in one step?" Duan Yan scratched his head. He didn't think of a more spacious place.

"Hahaha, can't the young master remember him when he saw Young Master Han?" Yan Li pointed to Han Xi and said, "The iron-yifang is empty. Let's pack up and move it over, so it's more spacious than here."

"Uh, right!" Duan Yan slapped his head. The land deed from Tieyifang has been obtained for several days, but during this period, it was Zhuchan Temple to discuss Buddhism, the Wang family, and Zheng Meng. He almost forgot about a series of things.

Shang Shaohong interrupted in a muffled voice: "Since it is to be spacious, isn't Lingjian Pavilion more spacious? It's still smaller in front of the Iron Yifang, so it's not convenient to set up a stage."

"It's exactly. Lingjian Pavilion is more spacious and has a more prosperous location, and it is a good place to do business." Shang Shaoqing said, "The wind and fire have made a happy housewarming, and Shaoqing has no choice but to lead the merchant class to sing the three-day drama!"

Yan Li shook her head and said, "Lingjian Pavilion is not good. It is too close to the hero's ring, so there are many troubles. It's better to be cleaner in Tieyifang. Moreover, moving to Tieyifang is just a street, and you can own two properties, which are not smaller than Lingjian Pavilion."

Duan Yan naturally supported Yan Li unconditionally, and he also had a lot of feelings for his old house and did not want to leave. Tieyifang was just across the street, and the workshop was moved over, so people could still live in their original place.

"It is better to choose a day than to meet the day." Yan Li said again, "Tomorrow is July 12th, which is a good day. You are the young master. Please inform the masters and ask the masters to clean up. We will move there tomorrow morning. At that time, it will be a good time to give in to Bu Chen to be responsible for cleaning, and we can still collect more gifts."

Duan Yan rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "It's worthy of being Mr. Yan. In a fight, you not only saved up your belongings, but also planned how many gifts you received, right?" My boss will not lose money with you at all! He agreed with a smile on his face, "Yes, I'll do it now!"

Seeing Duan Yan disappear outside the door, Yan Li turned to the three guests and said, "It's your business now. It seems that you still refuse to give up on the trial of Mid-Autumn Festival."

It turned out that he was determined to lead Duan Yan away.

King Shangwu’s Mid-Autumn Festival trial is indeed something that Duan Yan is not suitable for listening to.

Shang Shaoqing sighed and said sadly: "My brother has indeed guessed it. Shaohong and I are the kings after all. How can we..."

"Stop!" Yan Li waved his hand and said, "Don't be so sad, don't think so sacred. Isn't it necessary to pay so much attention to it just by digging a cemetery?"

"Puff--dead money..." Shang Shaohong spit out a mouthful of tea.

Shang Shaoqing frowned and said, "My brother, we must always keep our respect for the prince."

"To be honest, why are you disrespectful? The prince is so full of things, and he won't care." Yan Li smiled and said, "Is that ancient tomb the prince's own tomb?"

"Of course not."

"That's someone else's tomb."

"Uh..." Shang Shao-chung also knew that this was nonsense. Since it was not King Shangwu's own, of course it was someone else's.

"So, the beginning and end of the matter are that the prince occupied someone else's tomb, drank the soup, and then opened up to be an outside house. And his descendants, with the spirit of chivalrous spirit, rushed in and licked the bottom of the bowl with the awareness of death..." Yan Li summarized.

"Puff..." Shang Shaohong sprayed another sip of tea, quickly put down the teacup, decided not to drink water, and slapped the table and said with a smile, "I heard what you said, it seems that this is really the case..."

"Even if that..." Shang Shaoqing couldn't help but raise his voice, "We'll..."

He didn't say the second half, but everyone present understood what he meant.

They are descendants of King Shangwu's direct lineage. In any case, they should not be absent in this trial. Especially King Shangwu's inheritance should not fall into the hands of outsiders!

Obviously, they failed to see through the mystery of this game, and they could not guess like Yan Li that the bait sword score of King Shangwu actually had a copy.

Since Yu Qingyue didn't tell the two brothers this secret, Yan Li wouldn't tell it either.

"Ha." Yan Li chuckled, "I think senior Yu has said all the persuasion, and it doesn't make sense if I say it again. It's better to solve it in the simplest way."

In the eyes of everyone, Yan Li stood up, walked to the empty courtyard, and said proudly: "Yan Li has been learning martial arts for less than ten days. Come on, if you can walk three moves in front of me, you are qualified to enter the game."
