Chapter 30 Blue and White

While Xu Yi was looking around, a young man in a long gown walked towards him quickly, with a professional smile like a real estate agent of later generations on his round face, walked up to him, clasped his fists at Xu Yi, and said with a smile, "This brother has a strange appearance and is impressive, but he looks around and feels novel. He is obviously a newcomer to Dongcheng, Guang'an. He is a native of the city. , who was originally the guide for Xiongtai."

Xu Yi understood that he had met a guide. When he first arrived here, he really needed a guide. If the price was right, he would hire him, "Tell me the price!"

The young man in the long gown was startled, obviously he didn't expect Xu Yi to be so direct, but he was a bit awkward to talk to.

Xu Yi didn't give him time to think carefully, so he walked away. He figured that there were a lot of people doing this kind of work in this city.

It was so easy for a customer to come, how could the young man in long gown want Xu Yi to run away like this, and hurried to catch up, "Don't, don't worry, brother is too quick-tempered. One price, five gold coins!"

Xu Yi almost fell to the ground. He was working as a tour guide and dared to ask for five gold coins. He had a luxurious lunch at noon yesterday, and he only spent two taels of silver. Even if the official price was five gold coins, if converted into silver, he would be able to eat Hesse for a whole year.

Seeing Xu Yi's face change, the young man in long gown hurriedly said, "Brother, don't think it's too expensive, just listen to me. Brother, you don't think that I'm just doing the job of leading the way, how can it be that simple? I'm not only responsible for answering all the questions that Xiongtai has in the city, but also accompanying Xiongtai for the whole purchase, responsible for introducing, responsible for bargaining, and so on."

It sounded that the young man in long gown had done a lot of work, but Xu Yishan was so rich that he didn't want to talk too much, so he turned around and left, trying to shop around.

The young man in the long gown was like brown candy, entangled him, he talked endlessly, and gave many examples. It was all about someone who had just arrived in Dongcheng and was reluctant to spend the guide fee, but was cheated out of money by a certain shop, making him laugh out loud.

Xu Yi was upset when he heard it, but he was moved. He changed his mind and said, "Don't open your mouth like a lion. I see that you are sincere. Let me tell you something. I really want to buy something when I enter the city this time. The total price is not less than two hundred gold. For the things I like, you are responsible for bargaining. You will be responsible for haggling the price. If you succeed, lead me there. If you fail, get out of the way quickly. Don't make me angry!"

Xu Yi has such a brain, he can figure out such a two-way solution in an instant.

As far as he is concerned, the crisis is just around the corner, and the top priority is to strengthen his own strength. When he entered the city this time, he planned to make a large purchase.

Although I don't know how much it will cost, it will definitely not be less.

What the young man in the long gown said was right, he was new here, he was neither familiar with the place nor the prices, so if he entered the store rashly, he would inevitably get stabbed.

In exchange for this young man in a long gown helping out and bargaining, he just made up for this shortcoming.

He also believed that there would be a young man in a long gown to act on his behalf, and he would never save only five gold coins.

This method is both convenient and win-win. Sure enough, the young man in long gown jumped to agree as soon as he finished speaking.

This is indeed a simple account. The young man in the long gown knows that according to the usual practice, the store can cut off at least 30% of the asking price.

What's more, if he shows his life-threatening skills, he may not be able to cut down more, and he will naturally get more.

After negotiating the business, the two exchanged names. This gentleman is called Yuan Qinghua, and he said that he has been in this business for seven or eight years and has rich experience.

Along the way, this gentleman pointed out the famous places in the city, anecdotes and anecdotes, eloquent and witty, which is also interesting.

The two walked on a bluestone arched bridge, Xu Yi suddenly saw thirty feet away to the northwest, there was a din of people, it was very lively, looking far away, he saw a three foot high platform built there, the high platform was extremely wide, more than twenty feet in length and width, on the high platform, two strong men were fighting to the death, with swords and swords, it was very shocking.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yi understood that what was going on there was probably the famous life-and-death duel in Guang'an City, and it was also the challenge he was about to face.

Yuan Qinghua pointed at that place with a smile, and said, "It's still early, brother, but I'd like to take a closer look. If you're interested, I'll make a bet, and I'll bet on it. I've watched these years of duels, and I've practiced these two tricks."

"Bet? How do you say that?" Xu Yiqi asked.

Yuan Qinghua was stunned, and wondered if the old man in front of him had just come out of the barren hills, but he was not slow in his mouth, "There are battles, and there are victories, and there are victories, and there are games. In Guang'an City, there are no less than a hundred battles every day. If there are no bets that are fascinating, Xiongtai thinks that there will be people who are willing to watch the competition in the middle of physical training?"

Xu Yi nodded and said, "Brother Yuan has good eyesight, he can judge the realm of the two on stage from such a distance."

Yuan Qinghua continued to humbly and laughed, "I don't know something about the platform. It's not because of my good eyesight. It's about the realms of the two sides competing on the stage, which are displayed on the flagpoles beside the stage. My Royal Court of Dayue uses five colors of gold, purple, black, and blue to distinguish between superiors and inferiors. I use them here to use five-color flags to announce the realms of the two sides fighting on the stage, so as to attract gamblers of different levels. The four realms of body training correspond to purple, black, white, and blue. It's a white flag, and it's obvious that the two sides fighting on the stage are in the mid-stage of physical training."

Xu Yidao, "Gold, purple, black, white and blue, there are five colors in total. Why do the four realms of body forging take up four colors, while above body forging, there is only one color left?"

Yuan Qinghua said, "The reason is very simple. If you have reached the Sea of ​​Qi realm, you will be a great big shot in Guang'an City. There will be disputes between big shots. How can there be a fight on that stage? To be honest, since I can remember, I have never seen a golden flag raised on the ring stage. What's more, in recent years, the tentacles of the three famous families have gradually extended into Guang'an City. There are three parties to reconcile, and even the purple flag is rarely raised."

Xu Yidao, "So that's how it is. I thought it was simple. I have another question. If someone hides his state and fights on the stage, but secretly bets heavily on himself, wouldn't he gain huge profits in an instant? Of course, duels can continue to this day and become popular in Guang'an. It is expected that there must be a good strategy to avoid this loophole."

Like a dry sponge, Xu Yi quickly absorbed the knowledge of this world.
