Practice starts from a small soldier

Chapter 66 Choose to Forgive, Plan to Make Money

In the Zhou Dynasty, kneeling was the most important etiquette, and it was generally used by courtiers to pay homage to the king or offer sacrifices to ancestors.

In other cases, the kneeling salute is rarely used.

The nine people outside the yard, carrying iron pillars on their backs, knelt on the ground to plead guilty to Zhang Qi, which can be said to be an extremely serious and humiliating punishment.

A soldier can be killed but not humiliated.

But if they don't, they will be punished more severely.

That is to be expelled from the Black Riding Valley!
The reason why the punishment was so severe was not because they came to provoke Zhang Qi, but because they failed to provoke.

Nine hit one, but they never hit.

An elder said on the spot: "What's the use of keeping a bunch of insects?"

Fortunately, another elder pleaded for him, otherwise, Xu Zhi and his eight companions would have been expelled from the Black Riding Valley overnight.

At last.

After deliberation by several elders, Xu Zhi and other nine people were sentenced to commit crimes, and they also had to serve a month of torture.

But if you are not satisfied, then leave the Black Riding Valley.

The nine Xu Zhi didn't think much, and all chose to plead guilty and serve their sentences.

then.

This scene appeared.

Zhang Qi looked at the nine people kneeling in front of him to plead guilty, with a little surprise on his face.

In his opinion, what happened last night was abhorrent, but it wasn't serious enough to kneel down while carrying a big iron pillar to plead guilty...

"Which song is this?"

When Zhang Qi was feeling puzzled, the nine people kneeling on the ground shouted again in unison: "Please forgive me!"

Not far away, many spectators had already gathered.

"Get up."

"I don't care about what happened last night."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhang Qi could only choose to forgive.

You can't let these nine guys kneel here all the time.

Not some deep hatred.

In addition, he has just arrived and is not familiar with the place of life. If he manages well, these nine people may be of use to him...

After hearing Zhang Qi's words, the nine people who were kneeling on the ground put down the large iron pillar weighing thousands of catties and stood up from the ground.

One of the young men with a pale complexion walked up to Zhang Qi, bowed his head and said, "My lord, Xu Zhi, I will take the lead in what happened last night. Brother Zhang has a lot of..."

Zhang Qi looked at the young man in front of him who confessed his mistake.

He remembered.

This guy was the unlucky guy who was punched in the stomach by him and then flew out of the roof. At that time, he used [-]% of his energy and blood power. After punching down, the guy lay flat and was carried away later.

Unexpectedly, after one night, this guy was alive and kicking.

Just a little pale.

Xu Zhi took the lead in admitting his mistakes, and the other eight also stepped forward to apologize one by one.

Among the eight people, Zhang Qi saw two 'acquaintances', Yao Dun from Daliang of Jin, and Xiong Ye from Chu.

Seeing the half-smile expression on Zhang Qi's face, both of them looked ashamed.

Speaking of which, it was the two of them who stirred up this matter.

I thought it was a soft persimmon that could be kneaded as much as I wanted, but I didn't expect it to be kicked on the iron plate. Not to mention the embarrassment, I was almost expelled from the Black Riding Valley, and ended up in ruins.

"I don't know each other."

With a smile on his face, Zhang Qi clasped his fists and said, "To be able to meet here is a fate. Next, Zhang Qi, whose nickname is Sanlang, has met all brothers."

Hearing this, the nine people were all shocked.

While they were ashamed, they couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by Zhang Qi's tolerance and magnanimity.

The nine people bowed at the same time and said: "I have seen Brother Zhang!"

"Humph."

On a rooftop in the distance, a figure wearing an iron mask looked away and snorted softly: "Hypocritical, buying people's hearts!"

After all, he jumped off the roof and disappeared.

……

After a small disturbance, Heiqi Valley quickly returned to calm.

The melon-eating crowd who watched the excitement dispersed one after another, busy with their own affairs. There is no one idle here.

Zhang Qi was not idle either.

He dragged Xu Zhi and others to his room and asked them about the Black Riding Valley.

Only then did I know that in such a large black knight valley, apart from more than 100 backup black knights, there are only seven elders and more than [-] black-robed deacons, and there are no other outsiders.

It is also because of this that every backup black knight here has to rely on himself to support himself.

Gold and silver outside cannot be traded here.

The currency that circulates here is the ancient knife coin minted by Heiqigu himself. It looks like a small knife, and the whole body is pitch black. It is also called black knife, or knife.

This kind of black knife coin can be used to buy weapons, mounts and other cultivation resources.

For example, iron wire grass.

As a kind of military supplies, iron wire grass is not scarce in Heiqi Valley, and the price is not expensive.

The most expensive century-old iron wire grass can be bought for only 150 black knives.Even honeysuckle can be bought here, but the price is a little expensive. The cheapest 30-year-old honeysuckle costs [-] black dollars to buy one or two.

The way to earn black knife coins is to receive dispatches from the black robe deacon, which is equivalent to doing tasks.

Or trade with other people.

Zhang Qi is now penniless and has nothing to trade with others, so he can only do quests.

As soon as he inquired.

Sweeping the streets is the easiest and doesn't take much time. You can earn five black knife coins every day.

It takes a little longer to patrol the Black Riding Valley, and you can earn ten knives a day.

Going to the racecourse to clean up the excrement is dirty and tiring, but there are many people rushing to do it, because they can earn twenty dollars a day.

……

Zhang Qi was not very satisfied after hearing this, he is in urgent need of high-year iron thread grass, and by doing tasks to save money, he will have to save until the year of the monkey.

So he asked, "Is there any way to make more money?"

"There is, but there is."

Xu Zhi, who was sitting cross-legged across from Zhang Qi, thought for a while, and replied: "If you can receive orders from the seven elders, you can get a very rich reward, at least one or two hundred knives a time."

"This is good."

Zhang Qi's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask: "Which elder is the most generous?"

"Elder Seven." Xu Zhi and the others said in unison.

"How much can I give?"

"At least five hundred dollars to start."

Zhang Qi's breathing was a little short, and five hundred knives could buy three hundred-year-old iron thread grass, which should be enough for him to complete the cultivation of the third stage of the "Steel Bone Realm".

"Brother Zhang, don't worry."

Seeing Zhang Qi's expression of emotion, Xu Zhi hurriedly said: "Although the Seventh Elder gave a lot, he hasn't shown up for three years. I heard that he is practicing in seclusion."

Zhang Qi showed regret and sighed.

Xu Zhi continued: "In addition to the seventh elder, the second elder is also very generous, but the second elder is very demanding, and few people dare to try."

Zhang Qi asked: "How to say?"

"Teacher Second Elder is a soldier, and only teaches the art of war." Xu Zhi sighed, "If you want to receive a commission from the second elder, you must be proficient in art of war."

"Proficient in the art of war?"

Zhang Qi rubbed his chin, wondering whether 36 counts or not.

do not care.

Give him a try first.

After seeing off Xu Zhi and others, Zhang Qi went straight to the second elder's residence.
