Chapter 123 Golden Baby (4.8k)

"Lord Cao?"

"it's okay no problem."

Cao Jinxing coughed and said, "The name is a bit familiar, I was thinking about it just now."

"is it?"

Lei Zongliang said: "That's quite a coincidence. The carved feathers are harder than metal and the feathers are hollow, which is most suitable for hiding poisonous needles. When this hidden weapon is activated, the carved feathers at the front end harden and spread out in all directions, like a peacock spreading its tail. Once fired , the rear end thunder fire ignited, 130 two [Seven Killing Needles] exploded and fired, with such force and force, there was no way to avoid it! Even if he practiced the body-protecting qi, he would either die or be injured!"

"it is good."

Cao Jinxing looked at the exquisitely crafted hidden weapon, and his admiration was sincere.

Regardless of whether it is lazy or not, the design of the poisonous needle with the hidden feather shaft is indeed exquisite.

"It's a pity that the time is short, and the power is still weak. This first edition will be given to the adults, and when there are improvements in the future, I will send the new style to the house."

Lei Zongliang handed [Peacock Ling] to Cao Jinxing.

Cao Jinxing thought for a while, and still took it: "Thank you very much." He glanced at the sky: "It's almost noon, and the third hall master probably hasn't eaten yet. I'll treat you to this meal. The West Lake vinegar fish in Tianwailou is very good."

Lei Zongliang smiled: "It's rare to see the adults so leisurely. Lei should have accompanied him, but unfortunately he has important responsibilities. The Ministry of War has ordered [-] three-eyed guns to be delivered to the Hu Butang barracks as soon as possible, and the chess and sword Yuefu once every ten years. I will participate in the defense of the famous piano event. When the business is over, if my lord is still in Hangzhou, Lei will definitely do his best as a landlord."

"Third hall master is being polite."

Cao Jinxing was not interested in any famous qin festival, and he didn't bother to ask, and said: "Since that's the case, then I won't stay any longer. By the way, I have something to ask. I have a rare free time recently. I want to ask if there are any legends about heavenly talents and earthly treasures in Hangzhou." Like, I'm going to try my luck."

Cao Jinxing never forgets the treasures of heaven and earth.

"This... is mostly illusory."

Lei Zongliang didn't expect Cao Jinxing to be interested in these things, so he thought for a while and said, "There is one kind, sir, have you heard of 'Golden Baby'?"

Cao Jinxing shook his head: "No."

Lei Zongliang said: "This is a relatively rare carp, and it can be regarded as a rare beast that appears more frequently in Hangzhou."

Lei Zongliang is a native of Hangzhou, and he knows this "special product" very well. He said: "The golden baby is produced in the center of the West Lake. It is said that there is only one of the ten thousand tails. It takes 30 years to hatch and 30 years to grow. Eating it can strengthen the body. In the past 50 years, there have only been more than 200 fish, which are very valuable. There are many people who specialize in fishing for this kind of fish on weekdays. If you have time, you can go and see it. This is more reliable than those legends.”

"it is good."

Cao Jinxing thought to himself, this is a good way.

There are so many people, there are others I can't meet, and I can catch them if I can't catch them--I have to get something affordable for a holiday that is hard to come by.

Lei Zongliang had something to do, so he didn't stay long, Cao Jinxing changed into a silk shirt in the afternoon after dinner, took Shisi with him, and took fishing gear to try his luck.

The current situation seems to be calm recently, but there is always a feeling that the rain is about to come.

There is no rain in the dense clouds of Tatar in the north. Once Jiang Luxia died, Guangmingding still does not know what to do. The Yan family and Qiu Luan in Beijing are in full swing, and it is almost white-hot...

Cao Jinxing obviously feels that there will be a big change, and he doesn't have much free time, so he has to hurry up to improve his skills and... play.

Cao Jinxing dressed up like a rich man, and swaggered to the West Lake, where there are various food stalls by the lake.

He bought two shortbread cakes and ate them on the trestle bridge, only to find that there were many people around the Huxin Pavilion. When he got closer, he found that they were watching a little beggar fishing.

The beggar was young, seventeen or eighteen years old, at first glance he thought it was Yue Yang.

However, he is relatively short, with a yellow and thin complexion, and there are sores on his neck, which makes people unable to bear to look directly at him.

But it was such a person, but no one disliked him at this time, and each one of them was still holding back their disgust and moved forward.

"Which article is this?"

"The third one!"

"Good luck! This little beggar stabbed the fish nest? It's still the most expensive fish!"

Listening to the whispers of the people around, Cao Jinxing frowned, and at this moment, there was a strong wind behind him, and someone flew towards him using lightness kung fu.

He was a big, burly man.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he grabbed a boy in blue and hurriedly asked, "Where's the fish? Where's the fish? Is it still there?"

"Back to the shopkeeper."

The young man said with a bitter face: "The first two have already been bought by Fangzhu Du of Yinhook Gambling Square in the west of the city. He happened to be fishing here, so he bought them at a high price of 500 taels and sent them to Yangzhou..."

"Fucking Dewey!"

The big man immediately cursed: "He is really Wan Heqing's good dog!"

As soon as he said this, some people in the crowd were obviously dissatisfied. Judging from the ax marks on their chests, they were members of the God of Wealth Gang.

"What are you looking at?!"

The big man stared, and his whole body burst into aura. The ordinary gang members of the God of Wealth Gang obviously couldn't stand it, so they quickly looked away.

"Who am I to be talking nonsense..."

Suddenly, the crowd dispersed, and a rich middle-aged man with a big belly and wearing a golden silk shirt walked over from the other side of the trestle bridge and said with a smile, "So it's shopkeeper Han, no wonder... a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!"

There are five halls under the God of Wealth Gang, which are in charge of banks, land properties, restaurants, gambling houses, and pawnshops.

The person here is one of the three deputy hall masters of the four halls, Dewey, who is in charge of the major gambling houses in Hangzhou City under the help of the God of Wealth, and he himself is the owner of the largest gambling house in Hangzhou City, Yinhook Gambling House.

The "Treasurer Han" in his mouth is Han Tang, one of the eight civil and military shopkeepers under Shen Mingqiu, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, and his confidant.

Shen Ji has been fighting with the God of Wealth Gang for a long time, and when the enemies meet, they are extremely jealous.

Han Tang stared at a pair of round eyes, with strong internal energy surging in his hands, and said with a sinister smile on his face: "I heard that one of the three hall masters and two deputy hall masters died in your three halls? It's a pity that they didn't kill you together, otherwise It’s really heart-warming.”

"..."

Dewey's face turned blue all of a sudden.

This incident was the main reason why he couldn't wait to deliver the fish. Although Liu Zangyan acted privately, and his death in Hangzhou had nothing to do with him, but after two days of thorough investigation, they found no clues. Precious, but also a rare thought.

"Han Tang!"

Dewey said coldly: "Don't let me find out that this matter is related to you..." His tone was full of threats.

Han Tang sneered: "You know the tricks of our big shopkeeper. If we do it, you, and the rest of you in Hangzhou! None of them will survive!"

The two sides were at each other's throats.

Cao Jinxing watched with relish.

"stop fighting!"

Suddenly there was a hoarse scream, exuding a sense of desperation, and it turned out to be from the little beggar: "Do you still want a golden doll?! You're all scared away!"

Cao Jinxing was taken aback for a moment, this kid is quite courageous.

Dewey and Han Tang were also taken aback, but they were both dignified people and they were in business. If rumors of bullying the weak were spread, it would not only affect their personal reputations, but would also tarnish the signs of their respective representatives.

Furthermore, the beggar gang has sub-helms in Hangzhou. Those beggars are righteous and often protect their shortcomings. You can't offend them because of a little beggar.

The two gave up with a cold snort.

It's a wonder.

The little beggar's martial arts were not very good, but he made two famous local snakes in Hangzhou lose their temper.

"Judging from his tone, it's not a coincidence that he was able to catch the golden baby..."

Cao Jinxing folded his hands on his chest, his mind turned.

Over there, Han Tang grabbed the boy again and asked, "What about the third one?"

The boy said: "The third thing is to let Zhou Shen of the governor's mansion buy the ten taels of silver."

"Twelve?"

Han Tang thought he had heard wrong.

"It was the little beggar's asking price... He heard that he would charge Hu Butang twelve taels..."

"Ha, this little guy is interesting."

Han Tang laughed: "Does he have a background?"

"No."

The boy said: "There are quite a few people who know him, and they all call him Little Shitou. He himself settled in a mountain temple outside the city. He had never heard of fishing. I don't want to try it today and catch three!"

The boy is full of envy, one is 500 taels, two is 1000 taels, every day makes money, one day... no, if you don't arrive in half a day, you will get rich!
but……

Can he take the silver?

Among these people, some are waiting for the golden baby, and some are afraid that they are aiming at the little beggar's silver...

But the little beggar remained calm.

He just sat quietly in the pavilion, fishing calmly with a fishing rod in his hand, his waist was bulging, and it was Dewey who gave him 1000 taels of silver and ten taels of silver.

To be able to calm down like this is either really stupid or has real kung fu.

"wrong……"

Cao Jinxing carefully looked at his face, his eyes swept over his facial features like an iron comb, and finally fell on the rotten sore on his neck: "The sore is new...it can't be a fake person who is impersonating..."

Cao Jinxing remembered the "disguise technique" of putting plaster on the face that Lu Kunlun said. The more rotten the sore, the more people would subconsciously avoid looking at it and not delve into it.

"If it's fake, then his face is enough to confuse the real one, and it's not much better than [Si Gong's face], and his background is not small."

Cao Jinxing glanced at him.

The little beggar noticed it, and suddenly raised his head and glared at him.

"Afraid to see... so hypocritical?"

Cao Jinxing hugged his chest, and the old god was there, not to let him look away... Cao Jinxing moved his gaze down, and glanced at his chest, and the little beggar's gaze became more fierce.

Cao Jinxing laughed dumbfounded, and suddenly lost interest.

Another Huang Rong.

Dog planning is really uncreative!

At this moment, the little beggar moved his fishing rod and lifted it upwards forcefully, the water splashed in all directions, a golden light escaped from the water surface, and suddenly it was another golden carp—the alien beast "Golden Baby"!
An uproar!
"Another one! My God!"

"How did he do that?!"

"God!"

Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't believe it for a while, and they all thought that this little beggar must have mastered some tricks, so that he can succeed in fishing again and again!
"500 taels!"

Han Tang hurriedly called out the price. This strange beast is so rare, it can not only strengthen the body and improve the skill, but also the meat quality is very good, delicious in the world!

"600 taels!"

Dewey followed closely behind and bid.

"Are you looking for faults!"

Han Tang got angry and glared at Dewey.

"Good things have always been bought by those who have 'wealth'. It just so happens that the God of Wealth is not short of money."

Dewey chuckled.

"Is my memory bad? 700 taels!"

Han Tang snorted coldly.

"800 taels!"

"900 taels!"

"Stop calling!"

The two were arguing happily, and the little beggar suddenly said: "There is already a buyer for this one. Hey! How much do you pay for the one in black over there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone followed his gaze, the one in black...

It's Cao Jinxing.

"..."

Looking at the fiery eyes shot from around, Cao Jinxing sighed: "Ask me, why did you sell it to me?"

"If I don't sell it to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."

The little beggar stretched his waist as if no one was there, and said: "I am not very skilled in martial arts, but I have a thousand taels of silver in my pocket. Of course I have to find a way out. I think you are very suitable. I have caught four today. It will hurt the sky." And. I want to go, you take me out of here, this golden doll is yours."

When "he" said these words, everyone was stunned, this is not something a little beggar can say!
"Oh?"

Dewey first took a deep look at the little beggar, then turned to Cao Jinxing: "He? Hehe, it's not easy for you to leave, join the God of Wealth Gang! Tell me how to catch golden dolls, not only keep you safe, but also allow you to practice Peerless martial arts, earned a huge fortune!"

"Ah!"

The little beggar snorted.

Although Han Tang was rough, his mind was very careful. He saw that the little beggar was not an ordinary person, so he lowered his posture: "Sell this fish to me, and I can let you go out, and I promise not to disturb you, nor will I There are any attempts at you! How?"

"Hey!"

Unexpectedly, the little beggar ignored the others at all, and just looked at Cao Jinxing: "Are you going to buy it or not!"

Still relying on me so much!
Cao Jinxing was speechless for a while, even if I want natural talents and earthly treasures, it is not such a method, who knows how much trouble this woman has!
Cao Jinxing asked, "Do you have enemies?"

"No."

The little beggar asked strangely, "Why do you ask that?"

Cao Jinxing said bluntly: "There are so many heroes here, you don't find others to find me... How do I feel that you have bad intentions? Pull me to prevent disaster?"

"What kind of disaster are these people?"

The little beggar said: "Will they be able to buy and sell by force? Is there no law in the Central Plains? I'm just too lazy to socialize with them. Besides, I finally met a Jinyiwei and I want to see him."

moment!

The originally bustling Huxin Pavilion was dead silent.

Everyone looked at Cao Jinxing in astonishment.

It is not easy for these two people to co-author!

This little beggar has extraordinary eyesight.

This Jin Yiwei hides his secrets.

Dewey and Han Tang thought it was no wonder, it turned out that it was because of Jin Yiwei, no one really provoked him... But, this man doesn't look like a martial artist, although his bearing is really extraordinary... Could it be that this little beggar deliberately asked for a babysitter... …

Cao Jinxing took a deep look at the beggar.

"Are you in a hurry?"

"Not urgent."

"Then follow me when I leave."

Cao Jinxing said: "I'm here to fish, so what's the matter with buying one back. Haven't you heard that fishermen never fly? It's a shame for fishermen to get nothing."

"Eh?"

The little beggar seriously thought back: "Is there still such a saying? I don't care..."

"Beforehand, if anyone else troubles you during this period, I don't care."

"..."

The little beggar's face darkened: "So it's because of this... I said I have no enemies!"

"No better."

Cao Jinxing didn't care. He was about to find a place. After thinking about it, he said to the little beggar, "You don't want to fish, do you? Give me the place."

The little beggar raised his brows, wanting to laugh: "Do you think I caught the golden doll because of this location?"

"of course not."

Cao Jinxing said directly: "I'm not lucky, I want to get lucky, and besides, I'm too lazy to make a nest."

"Okay."

The little beggar simply moved to the side, patted the original position and said: "I give it to you, this pole can also give you 'luck'."

"so……"

Cao Jinxing was thoughtful: "Is the problem the bait?"

"..."

The little beggar's face turned even darker.

Cao Jinxing smiled, walked to the position and skillfully tinkered with the fishing gear he brought.

"what's your name?"

asked the little beggar.

"Cao Jinxing."

The crowd suddenly fell silent!
As soon as the name comes out.

Needle drop can be heard throughout the Huxin Pavilion!
Dewey's face changed drastically. No one dared to fake his identity. He turned around and left without saying a word, for fear that Cao Jinxing would make trouble for him.

Han Tang was not afraid, Shen Ji cooperated with the Weaving Bureau, and the chief eunuch of the Weaving Bureau came from the palace, and the eunuch in the palace was from the same family as Jin Yiwei.

But Cao Jinxing was dressed in plain clothes, obviously not wanting to cause trouble, so he saluted and backed away slowly.

The two major forces left first, and the others did not dare to stay for a long time, and quickly left without a trace.

"Wow!"

The little beggar looked back, and there was no one. He was a little surprised and said, "It's more powerful than I expected. Are they so afraid of Jinyiwei? Or are they afraid of you?"

Cao Jinxing threw out the hook and said casually, "I have nothing to be afraid of, of course I am afraid of Jin Yiwei."

"Not."

The little beggar thought for a while, and said, "I've heard of this name before. Two days ago, many people said that it was you. They said that you found Fang La's treasure, and even mastered "The Great Teleportation of the Universe", right?"

"Yes."

Cao Jinxing admitted it very happily: "Can you cook? Just bake the fish and eat it."

The little beggar shook his head: "No."

"What?"

Cao Jinxing was a little surprised, and muttered to himself: "It's still a low-end version... I'm not interested."

The little beggar had a bad expression on his face: "What nonsense are you mumbling about!"

"It's nothing."

Cao Jinxing said: "When you spoke just now, you emphasized the word 'Central Plains'. It should be from a foreign land. The accent has the shadow of Wu dialect, and you can catch fish... Are you from an island in the East China Sea? Your surname is Huang?"

The little beggar was not surprised: "They all said you are very smart, and you really have a lot of tricks. My surname is not Huang, but my surname is Qin."

"Qin..."

Cao Jinxing frowned: "The Qin family on Wuliu Island?"

"Yes."

The little beggar smiled and said, "My name is Qin Xuanji."

 Sorry, it's easy to slap your face when you talk too much, and you will learn a lesson in the future.

  The second one is writing.
