Tortoise of the Great Desolation

Chapter 616 Kong Xuan sells himself (two chapters in one)

Chaoge City.

In the palace, in a large hall.

After Chonghouhu reported the battle situation in Beihai, he stopped talking.

Of course, he wasn't waiting for a reward, because he knew very well that in the Beihai war, he could at most make up for his mistakes this time, and it would be good if he wasn't punished.

Looking at Chonghouhu who stood there looking worried about gains and losses, Shen Gui naturally knew his worries.

After a little weighing, Shen Gui said indifferently: "This time to put down the Beihai rebellion, let's count it as you making up for your mistakes. For the sake of your loyalty to Gu, let's expose the previous things for now, you go down first."

Hearing Shen Gui's words, Chonghou Hu was overjoyed immediately, bowed his head and thanked him: "Master, thank you Your Majesty."

Chonghou Hu withdrew.

Only Kong Xuan was left in the hall.

Glancing at Kong Xuan who was standing there with a stinking face, Shen Gui asked a little curiously: "It's all right for Chonghou Hu to return to Xianggu, what are you doing here?"

Kong Xuan was stunned for a moment.

What does this mean?
What do you want me to do?
Didn't you ask me to help?

Seemingly seeing Kong Xuan's inner thoughts, Shen Gui said indifferently: "You owed Gu a favor earlier, so Gu asked you to help. However, now that the Beihai rebellion has been quelled, the favor you owed Gu has been repaid. The most important thing is What’s more, you’re useless now, so you can go now.”

What?
Kong Xuan looked at the calm Shen Gui on the throne, and felt a little bit like cursing.

What do you mean I'm useless?
You're pulling shit, you're crossing rivers and tearing down bridges.

Is Kong Xuan so shameless?
Although even if you recruit me, I may not agree to you, but you should recruit me anyway, so that I can reject you!
"What, is there a problem?"

Seeing Kong Xuan standing there with a changing expression, Shen Gui said indifferently: "Is there anything else you can do to find Gu?"

Kong Xuan looked at Shen Gui's face, which he regarded as unbearable, snorted coldly in his heart, and said coldly, "It's all right."

After finishing speaking, Kong Xuan turned and left without saying a word.

After leaving the main hall, Kong Xuan looked back bitterly, and thought to himself——don't ask me for anything in the end, otherwise, hum!
Snorting again, Kong Xuan left the palace directly.

In the hall, Shen Gui looked at Kong Xuan's back full of resentment, and couldn't help but feel a little bewildered.

Why do you feel that this Kong Xuan has become a little weird after going to Beihai?

On the other side, after Kong Xuan left the palace, he planned to leave directly.

However, when passing by a restaurant, Kong Xuan's stomach grew unsatisfactory when he heard the memories coming from the restaurant.

Rubbing his stomach, Kong Xuan felt a little nostalgic for the good wine and meat that Chonghouhu provided before.

However, since there is such an aroma in this building, there must be wine and meat in it, right?
Thinking of this, Kong Xuan stopped walking out of the city and walked into the restaurant.

When the kid in the restaurant saw Kong Xuan coming in, his eyes lit up.

Although he didn't recognize Kong Xuan, Kong Xuan's aura was there - he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Therefore, the child greeted him very dog-leggedly, and asked with a smile on his face: "Young master, what do you want to eat?"

Glancing at the enthusiastic child, Kong Xuan was a little puzzled.

He doesn't know this person at all, why is this person so enthusiastic?

However, if he didn't understand, Kong Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard Xiaoer ask him what he wanted to eat.

"Do you have good wine and meat here?"

Hearing what Kong Xuan said, the smile on Xiao Er's face became even stronger: "Young master, please rest assured that our Donglai Pavilion is well-known in the entire Chaoge, and you are satisfied with the safekeeping."

Hearing this, Kong Xuan nodded: "Then bring wine and meat, the more the better, I want to eat to my heart's content."

After saying this, Kong Xuan couldn't help feeling a little bit sad when he thought that if he went back to continue his practice, he might not be able to eat wine or meat for a long time.

However, he soon thought about it.

Regardless of these, let's eat today and have a good time.

Hearing what Kong Xuan said, Xiaoer also felt that he had met a big client.

"Young master, please wait a moment, I'll let someone prepare wine and meat for you."

While talking, Xiaoer led Kong Xuan to a private room above the restaurant, and then left.

Not long after, plates of meat and altars of fine wine were delivered to the private room.

Because Kong Xuan must be the kind of owner who is not short of money at first glance, so whether it is wine or meat, Xiaoer can buy whatever is good and expensive.

Facing the table full of wine and meat, Kong Xuan unceremoniously started to eat.

The plates were emptied by him at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the empty wine jars were thrown aside by him.

At the back, the waiter looked at the mountains of plates on the table and the wine jars all over the floor, and was really a little frightened.

What is the background of this son, how can he be so edible?

In just a short while, he ate enough wine and meat to feed a dozen people.

However, I was terrified, seeing that Kong Xuan had no intention of shutting up after eating so much. Based on the principle that the customer is God, Xiaoer continued to serve Kong Xuan with wine and meat, even at the Later, he couldn't bear to carry the wine and meat back and forth, so he had to call a companion to help him.

However, Kong Xuan's stomach seemed to be a bottomless pit, no matter how much wine and meat was sent in, he would eat and drink it clean.

Later, the whole restaurant knew that a customer who might be a starving ghost had come to the store. There was no way, Kong Xuan ate too much food, which had already affected the operation of the restaurant.

Several more plates of meat were brought into the room.

However, after a while, he was eaten up by Kong Xuan.

Reaching out to touch the plate on the table, Kong Xuan realized that the meat was gone.

Patting the table, Kong Xuan asked with some doubts: "Where's the wine and meat? Why don't you continue to serve?"

Outside the private room, there were already a circle of guys. They all ran over to watch because they heard that a customer who was suspected of being a starving ghost came to the store.

Hearing what Kong Xuan said at this moment, the shopkeeper who was also in the crowd could only helplessly stand up: "My lord, I'm sorry, the wine and meat reserves in our restaurant are already empty today, why don't you come back sometime?"

"It's gone?" Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Kong Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, and sighed: "Forget it, it's gone if it's gone, it's considered half full."

After finishing speaking, Kong Xuan got up and prepared to walk outside.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, and quickly stopped him: "Master, you haven't paid for the meal yet!"

"Food money?" Kong Xuan looked at the shopkeeper suspiciously, and asked a little strangely, "What kind of meal money?"

Immediately, those around the room, whether they were the shop assistants or the guests who came to see the excitement, were stunned.

What does it mean?
Is it because you want to eat the overlord's meal?

Seeing Kong Xuan's appearance that didn't seem to be fake, the shopkeeper immediately became anxious: "Young master, you can't do this! Your meal has emptied the entire restaurant's wine and meat reserves, and the cost alone costs thousands of dollars." Two silver coins, if you leave just like that, young master, will you be beaten to death by the master?"

Seeing the shopkeeper's anxious look on the verge of crying, Kong Xuan thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what was going on.

It wasn't until a well-meaning guest who came to the theater explained to Kong Xuan that Kong Xuan finally understood - it turned out that he had to pay for the meal.

But the question is, during the Northern Expedition, Chonghouhu ate and drank so much good wine and meat, Chonghouhu didn't ask him for food money!
Kong Xuan expressed his annoyance.

He looked at the shopkeeper in front of him and spread his hands: "I have no money."

"My lord, you really can't do this!" The shopkeeper was about to cry.

"If you insist on not paying, my lord, then I can only take you to an official!"

See an official?

what is that?
Kong Xuan frowned, he didn't quite understand what the shopkeeper said.

However, even though he didn't know what meeting an official was, he could still understand when the shopkeeper said he wanted to take him.

With a cold snort, a coercion emanated from his body, and Kong Xuan said domineeringly: "Take me? Just rely on you? Do you know who I am?"

However, the shopkeeper did not accept Kong Xuan's tricks.

He grabbed Kong Xuan's sleeve and said loudly: "I don't care who you are! It's only natural to pay for meals. If you don't pay, I'll take you to the government!"

Kong Xuan:.
He is also a little confused now.

Aren't these people afraid of death?
He is the pinnacle of the Daluo Jinxian, and he is only one step away from the existence of the quasi-sage realm. How can this group of ordinary people with no cultivation have the courage to arrest him?
Liang Jingru gave it?

Cough, Kong Xuan said that I don't know who Liang Jingru is at all, I just said it fluently.

in the palace.

After Kong Xuan left, Shen Gui originally planned to go to Xinqing Palace to find Concubine Yang. After all, Empress Jiang, Concubine Huang and Shang Qingjun were not so easy to talk to in broad daylight, only Concubine Yang would follow his temper.

However, just as Shen Gui was ready to go to Xinqing Palace, he felt something was wrong.

What is Kong Xuan doing?

Eat Bawang meal?

Shen Gui was also a little speechless when the divine sense that shrouded Chaoge noticed the situation in Donglai Pavilion.

Do you think Kong Xuan is really stupid, or is he really stupid, or is he really stupid?
With a thought, Shen Gui made a little disguise for himself, and then turned into a streamer and appeared in Donglai Pavilion, otherwise he was afraid that something would happen to Kong Xuan.

After all, Kong Xuan is not a good-tempered person. If it wasn't because he knew he was wrong now, something would have happened long ago.

As for why he had to disguise, the reason is also very simple - when he was Shouwang, he had eaten here quite often, if he didn't pretend, he was afraid of being recognized by the shopkeeper.

Because the people in Donglai Pavilion were all gathered around Kong Xuan to watch the excitement, so no one noticed that there was an extra person in the restaurant.

Outside the private room upstairs, the shopkeeper pulled Kong Xuan's sleeve with one hand, and it was really short of making jokes.

Although Kong Xuan was annoyed, he knew he was in the wrong and was too embarrassed to do it, so now he was on the verge of being tossed about to explode.

At this moment, Shen Gui went upstairs.

"I paid for the meal for him."

The sudden sound silenced the noisy scene.

Seeing Shen Gui who came up from downstairs, Kong Xuan was stunned for a moment: "It's you?"

Although Shen Gui made a little disguise, he was just trying to deceive ordinary people, and he didn't intend to hide it from Kong Xuan.

However, Shen Gui ignored Kong Xuan. He looked at the shopkeeper who was still tugging on Kong Xuan's sleeve, and said calmly, "Let him go. I'll pay for the meal for him."

Hearing what Shen Gui said, the shopkeeper wiped his eyes, and asked in disbelief: "Is what this young master said really true?"

After waving his hand, Shen Gui said flatly, "Tell me, how much is it."

After hesitating for a while, the shopkeeper stretched out his palm, and said cautiously: "There are four thousand eight hundred and seventy three taels of silver in total. If you make up the whole thing, the young master will give you four thousand eight hundred taels."

Hearing this, Shen Gui took out a stack of banknotes and threw them to the shopkeeper casually: "This is 5000 taels, don't need to look for it."

(Don't ask me why there are bank notes at this time, I say there are, huh!)

After paying the money, Shen Gui looked at Kong Xuan who was on the side, and said calmly, "Let's go."

After finishing speaking, Shen Gui walked directly outside.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly followed.

He didn't want to stay here for a moment, he was ashamed!
Because Shen Gui had already paid the money, naturally no one stopped Kong Xuan anymore.

After leaving the restaurant and walking on the street, Kong Xuan looked at Shen Gui in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Thank you this time."

If Shen Gui hadn't helped him, he really didn't know what to do.

Although he really wanted to leave and no one could stop him, but he wanted face!
It's fine if you don't know, but after the kind guest explained, he already knew that he had to pay for the food, so how could he just walk away?
However, upon hearing what he said, Shen Gui looked back at him and said, "Thank you, just pay back the money."

Hearing Shen Gui mentioning money, Kong Xuan shrank immediately: "I don't have any money."

Shen Gui nodded unsurprisingly: "It's easy to deal with if you don't have money, so let's work to pay off the debt."

"Work to repay the debt?" Kong Xuan thought for a while, although he didn't understand what it was, but he didn't want to owe anything to others, so he directly asked, "How about the debt repayment method?"

"It's very simple." Shen Gui looked back at Kong Xuan, and calculated: "Besides being able to fight, you probably don't know anything else, so come and be my bodyguard. The monthly salary of a guard in the palace is usually Five taels of silver, your strength is relatively strong, double it for you, count you ten taels of silver a month. 5000 taels of silver, that is five hundred months, 41 and a half years, count your 40 years, you just need to be my bodyguard for 40 years That's it."

Hearing what Shen Gui said, Kong Xuan thought for a while, 40 years is just a blink of an eye for him, and it is very cost-effective to exchange this time for a favor.

Therefore, without any hesitation, he nodded directly and said, "Okay, then I will serve you as your bodyguard for 40 years, and then you and I will write it off."

Hearing this, although Shen Gui's expression did not change, his heart was already full of laughter.

This Kong Xuan is indeed a fool.

Da Luo Jinxian peak, half-step quasi-sage, monthly salary ten taels of silver.

He suddenly felt a slight pain in his conscience.
