The strongest sword fairy

Chapter 11 Imperial City
Two months later, the Emperor Yu.

"You two, where did you come from?" The city guard who guarded the city looked at the two people in front of him. They were an old man and a child. "Ahem, we are from the countryside. We came to see a friend and do a small business." The white-haired old man coughed twice, but gave Bai Hong a gentle tug.

"This is my grandson, let's make it easier for you two." The white-haired old man coughed twice after he finished speaking, "Well, you two don't look like big shots, let's go." The city guard waved his hand. Waving, the white-haired old man and Bai Hong slowly walked into the capital of the imperial capital!
"Master, why are we..." The white-haired old man looked at Bai Hong and said with a smile: "Why do we still come in like this?" , His sword is too conspicuous, an insider can tell it is an extraordinary sword!
"We came here this time just to meet someone and replenish my wine, so don't be too ostentatious, come in ordinary, and then disappear ordinary, I don't want to disturb the peace here, come here, you have to remember Stop, no matter what you see or hear, don’t worry about it, everything will be resolved for the teacher.”

The white-haired old man smiled faintly, then turned a few corners, and what appeared in front of the two of them was an extremely shocking picture!Towering houses, golden glazed tiles, golden city walls, that building has hundreds of floors. "Hey, look silly? This is not the imperial palace of the Emperor's Capital." The white-haired old man smiled faintly, and pulled Bai Hong forward. This high-rise building is made of unknown materials, but it is so magnificent that there is no trace of it collapsing. intention.

"The one just now is the largest merchant in Yudidu, and also the richest building. That building is called 'Zhaixing Building'! It is the largest merchant in Tianyuan Continent, and it has been standing here for a long time, even Yudi exists. When it is time, it exists." The white-haired old man smiled, but there was no trace of yearning in his eyes.

"Furthermore, this Zhaixing Building is the largest restaurant and the largest market here! The first to twenty floors here are places to eat, and the twenty to one hundred are markets. The market there is different from the market we see now. There , are all treasures! Above a hundred floors, it is the largest library! There are almost all the cultivation cheats in the entire Tianyuan Continent, and the history of the entire Tianyuan Continent, whether it is people or things, everything is recorded!"

"Besides, the strength of the owner of the Star Picking Tower is only a little bit worse than mine." The white-haired old man looked at Bai Hong, he was smiling, and he was a little smug, it was a genuinely happy smile, Bai Hong nodded , couldn't help but looked at the Zhaixing Building a few more times, and smiled slightly.

"Let's go, don't look, our destination is not there, let's go, let's find an inn to rest, and then eat something, I will also replenish my wine." The white-haired old man smiled, with Bai Hong walked into an ordinary small inn. During the journey, neither of them stayed in an inn. It was the first time they stayed in an inn, which made Bai Hong involuntarily interested. As soon as they entered the inn, Xiao Er hurried over to greet her.

"Master, do you want to stay in the hotel or have something to eat?" Xiao Er looked at the clothes on the white-haired old man, then frowned slightly, "We will stay in the hotel, and I will get one of the best rooms here. "The white-haired old man looked at Xiao Er, touched his body casually, and found a piece of silver!
"It's 20 taels. We're staying for three days. In addition, bring me some delicious food, no wine, and help us buy some ordinary clothes. They must be durable. Remember, not luxurious, but durable. !" The white-haired old man gently placed the ingot of silver in Xiao Er's hand, and continued: "I will give you the rest."

After hearing this, Xiao Er threw the dishcloth on his shoulders, "Master, don't worry, please come inside, please come inside, and the food will be here soon." Saying this, he let the two of them into a larger room , although it is simple, it is considered a relatively good room, with two big beds, a room of more than ten feet square, and it is on the second floor, the windows are facing the street, and the sunlight comes in from the windows, making people feel more comfortable.

"Well, okay, you go down." The white-haired old man asked Xiao Er to step back, and then came to the window, looking at the passers-by outside the window, a little lost in thought, Bai Hong didn't say anything more, and gently made the bed , everything was cleaned up, and a basin of clean water was brought in.

"Master, wash your face." Bai Hong held the copper basin and gently placed it on the table. He is now more than three feet tall, and it is still a bit difficult to put the basin on the table. "No need, Hong'er. Let's rest today. After dinner, we'll go to bed. Come out with me tomorrow morning." The white-haired old man looked at Bai Hong, and he was kind, and he was still smiling. Nostalgic, emotional, and a little sad.

It didn't take a while for Xiao Er to bring the food. Although this restaurant is relatively ordinary, the food is very unusual and very delicious. The two of them have eaten roast food for so many days. Today it is rare to eat this hot rice. When it comes to stir-frying, Bai Hong has long been so hungry that she immediately started to gobble it up.

"Hehe, eat slowly." The white-haired old man smiled and picked a lot of food for Bai Hong. Now he looks like Bai Hong's grandfather.The child is still a child, and he has suffered so much with me, but he has no complaints, Hong'er, don't blame Master for being too cruel, but if you remain stronger, you will be killed by others!
After a while, the two of them were full of wine and food, and Xiao Er also brought over the clothes. They were indeed relatively simple clothes for ordinary people, and they were very durable. The fabric was very rough, but it was extremely tough. "This is made by a well-known clothing store of our Emperor Yu. This fabric is woven from the toughest silk in the best nettles. Even if it is cut with a knife, it will not be easily broken." Xiao Xiao Er looked at the white-haired old man and said involuntarily.

"Well, you are quite good at handling things. These things probably cost a lot of silver taels, now, these are also for you." As he spoke, the old man threw a small piece of silver to Xiao Er, who padded the money in his hand, He couldn't help smiling, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir, if you have anything to do in the future, just let me handle it, and I will make you satisfied." The white-haired old man nodded, waved his hand, and told Xiao Er to step back up.

"Hong'er, do you know why he still needs to give him money after finishing his work for the teacher?" The white-haired old man looked at Shangguan Baihong with a half-smile, "This..." Shangguan Baihong scratched his head, slightly I don't understand, he is still a child after all, although he is very intelligent, he doesn't know everything.

"This is the principle of being a man. This Xiao Er was entrusted by others and he was loyal. I gave him the 20 taels of silver. It is estimated that he spent 18 taels of silver. Have you noticed that when he came in, he was You have a sad face? It is said that if you want others to do something for you, you have to pay them for that task. For Xiao Er, two taels of silver is indeed a bit small, although he wants to spend less, but My requirements are not low."

"That's why you gave him money again. The reward was enough, Xiao Er naturally laughed, and then it will be much smoother to ask him to do things for us in the future." Bai Hong suddenly realized something, staring at the white-haired old man, her face showing A wise smile said, "In this way, if we ask him to do business in the future, even if we pay him less, he will do his best, because, for the first time, he has already admitted us in his heart." Bai Hong looked at the white-haired man. The old man's mind is growing bit by bit.

But the white-haired old man was a little surprised. He could understand so much just by tapping the white rainbow lightly. "Haha, a child can be taught!" Turning around and continuing to look out the window, Bai Hong didn't care about the white-haired old man anymore, lying on the bed, he felt extremely comfortable.

It's been a long time since I slept in such a warm and comfortable big bed. Now lying on the bed, Bai Hong couldn't help but think of her own home. After doing the math, she has been away from home for more than three months. I don't know, what's going on at home, mom and dad Is she well, is Xiao Yu still happy, without herself, what will Shangguan Bai's family be missing?
His thoughts gradually became blurred, and Shangguan Baihong gradually fell into a deep sleep. This time, he felt that he was sleeping very peacefully, just like someone who was born in his mother's arms. This feeling is fascinating, especially , which made Bai Hong, who had been away from home for three months, obsessed.

Watching Bai Hong fall into a deep sleep, the white-haired old man quietly walked out of the room.Slightly waving the sleeve of his robe, something seemed to happen in the whole room but nothing happened, then the white-haired old man smiled, turned around and went downstairs, "Xiaoer, help me look upstairs, don't do it without my permission." Someone came into that house."

When going out, the old man explained something, and then he walked to the street, as if no one saw him, he just walked casually, but it was a step of [-] meters, this speed, already let People are amazed!However, everyone seems to have not noticed it.

In Zhaixing Tower, the white-haired old man gently went up to the second floor, found a seat, and sat down.Here, too, which happens to be next to the window, and which is full of sunlight, and looks down on the street, there is a very pleasant feeling, which is a very wonderful feeling, and this feeling is not felt in its position.

"Hey, guest officer, wait a minute. What would you like to eat?" Xiaoer was obviously not that snobbish. Although he saw that the white-haired old man was dressed in a very ordinary way, he still treated him with courtesy. The white-haired old man looked at him, Shaking his head involuntarily, although this place is still here, everything has changed.

"Give me two hundred altars of top-quality daughter red." The number reported by the white-haired old man stunned Xiao Eryi, and then said with a smile: "Old man, are you joking, did you drink so much by yourself? If you want to buy it , but we need to discuss the price with our boss first.”

Xiaoer is very good at handling affairs, this kind of business is beyond his reach. "Your boss? But the shopkeeper named Wang Fugui?" The white-haired old man's words stunned Xiaoer again, "Uh, hehe, old man, that's our chief shopkeeper. I mean, it's the shopkeeper on the second floor. Wang Dagui."

"Oh, okay, take me there." The white-haired old man stood up and followed Xiao Er to the counter. A richer middle-aged man was constantly calculating something on the abacus. Before approaching, the shopkeeper raised his head to look at the two of them, and frowned.

"Xiao Er, why did you bring the guests to me? You should greet the guests well, hehe, what do you want to order, this Xiao Er is not good at handling things, so I have neglected you." The shopkeeper reprimanded Xiao Er, but He had a playful smile on the white-haired old man, but he also put all the responsibility on one person to preserve the restaurant's reputation.

"No, it's none of Xiao Er's business, shopkeeper, I want two hundred altars of top-quality daughter red, I wonder if you can make the decision?" The white-haired old man carried his hands on his back. Although he looked old, he carried a fairy aura. The feeling made the owner of the hotel startled.

"Uh, well, I can still make the decision on this, but, old man, how do you take it away?" Wang Dagui looked at the white-haired old man and frowned involuntarily. , there is only a wine gourd all over his body, and he is relatively thin. The two hundred jars of wine are not light, and judging by his expression, he didn't bring a carriage at all. Could it be that he wants to take it away with his hands?

"Don't worry about this, you just need to arrange two hundred altars of top-quality daughter red for me, and I can go to the cellar with you to pick it up." The white-haired old man smiled half-smile, as if he knew all the processes here, making the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth Slightly twitched, you know, the storage of Zhaixinglou wine has been kept secret from the outside world, and has never been leaked.

"Then there's no need, hehe, I'll send someone to pick it up for you right away, how much do you plan to pay for these two hundred altars of top-quality daughter red?" Wang Dagui looked at the white-haired old man, his eyes sweeping over him. , as if thinking again, does this old man have so much silver.

"Hehe, I'll pay you as much as your daughter Hong Yitan is now." The white-haired old man smiled, as if everything was calculated in his hands, and his face made the hotel owner feel complacent. I couldn't help but my heart skipped a beat. What is this old fellow's background?
"Our current top-quality daughter red is 80 taels, and two hundred altars are 6000 taels of silver. Generally, we will give you a 400% discount for big customers like you, which is [-] taels of silver. You see Do you have so much silver with you?" Wang Dagui clattered his hands on the abacus for a while, and immediately quoted the price.

"En, it is indeed more expensive than before." The white-haired old man touched from his bosom, took out a few gold tickets, handed them to Wang Dagui, and said, "This is 440 taels of gold tickets, converted into silver tickets. That's 400 taels, and it's a golden ticket from the Zhaixing Bank in your Zhaixing Building, can you see if it's fake?"

Wang Dagui hurriedly took the golden ticket, nodded carefully, and couldn't help but his face changed. This golden ticket is not for ordinary people, it is usually only for princes and nobles, and only a few big stewards of the entire Zhaxing Building can use it Yes, this old man is not simple!Moreover, the exchange rate between gold tickets and silver tickets is ten times.
