Chapter 46 Promise
The battle of life and death is at a critical moment. There is no reason to win in the competition of the same level. This old man didn't take it seriously. He woke up early in the morning and didn't care about this life-and-death battle that almost provoked almost all the warriors in the city.
After explaining his parents' dissatisfaction, Xu Yi finally thought of something serious, "Oh? By the way, help me to a shop where I can buy a stronger rope, the thickness of an ordinary fishing line, just a foot long or short, I'm afraid it will be used in a duel later."
Before he could finish his sentence, Yuan Qinghua disappeared without a trace, the speed was astonishing. It was the first time that Xu Yi found out that his newly hired "long-term worker" might not be able to reach the middle stage of physical training.
How did he know that Yuan Qinghua was on the verge of madness right now, and Yuan was ten thousand times more careful and nervous than Xu Yi when it came to duels.
No, Xu Yi told the annoying Jingqiuwa a short story, halfway through, when Yuan Qinghua, who was sweating profusely, swished back.
"My lord, this jellyfish-binding rope is extremely strong and the material is unknown. However, it is produced by the Alchemy Hall. It must be a high-quality product. I heard that experienced sea fishermen also use this rope to catch deep-sea giant whales. The strength and toughness can be seen. The price is also really expensive. The rope that is ten feet long and as thin as a hair requires three gold coins from us. I see that the whole world is full of money, only the Alchemy Hall is rich."
While introducing it endlessly, Yuan Qinghua showed a hair-thin, crystal-clear and delicate rope. After a while, he used a reamer to slash it, and then he tore it with all his strength, and the rope was not damaged at all.
Xu Yi took it, tried it in his hand, and was extremely satisfied.
At this moment, there was a shout from outside the door, Yuan Qinghua rushed out and came in again, "The proprietor, it's someone from the yamen, there is only one hour left before noon, we will be there soon."
Xu Yi nodded and said, "Go outside and tell me, I'll come as soon as I change my clothes."
"Uncle Beard, are you going out to fight?" Qiuwa who walked to the door suddenly turned her head and spoke.
"It's not fighting? It's beating bad guys, and earning money to buy delicious food for my Qiuwa."
Xu Yi picked up the little girl and kissed her lightly on the forehead. The enamel-like little face was really lovable.
Qiuwa stretched out her tender little hand, rubbed it on his hard stubble, and said seriously, "Uncle Beard, don't lose, no matter how injured you are, you have to go home."
"Silly girl, what are you talking about, your bearded uncle is invincible."
Xu Yi pinched her small face and thought, the little girl must be very worried.
"Well, my bearded uncle is the best!" Qiuwa nodded vigorously.
After half a stick of incense, Xu Yi waited on Mu Bo to drink the auxiliary medicine, and under the concerned eyes of the old man, he stepped into the carriage sent by the yamen.
The decisive battle was held in Dongcheng, and when the carriage stepped into the gate of Dongcheng, Xu Yi felt that today's Dongcheng was indeed different from yesterday.
The originally bustling street was so empty that it looked like a storm had just blown up. Not only were there few pedestrians to be seen, but most of the shops were also closed.
After half a stick of incense, the carriage entered a magnificent eggshell-shaped building. Not long after, the carriage stopped, and Xu Yi, led by a young man in a green official uniform, entered the corridor on the left.
The warm-colored hall is very empty, with a long table made of forged black iron standing in the center, and an old man with a gray beard sits at the table, sipping tea with gusto, not intruded by outsiders at all, his eyes fixed on an old book of legends in his hand.
"Ning Bo, this is another martial artist participating in the duel, you can start the blood test."
Youths in green clothes broke the tranquility.
It was only then that Xu Yi realized that the old man was a realm tester.
A drop of condensed dark blood dripped precisely on a pure white boulder. In an instant, the boulder gave off a faint brilliance, gold, purple, black, and blue. Various colors changed one after another, and finally it was frozen in blue and white.
"It has been confirmed that the martial artist Yixu is at the pinnacle of body forging!"
Ning Bo shouted, took out a copy, put his seal on it, and quickly sealed it.
After finishing the test, Ning Bo started working on the script in his hand again.
The young man in green clothes led Xu Yi to go out, when suddenly another middle-aged man dressed in the same clothes as the young man in green clothes came quickly, whispered a few words in front of the young man in green clothes, and then left.
The young man in green clothes led Xu Yi to the corridor to the west.
Just now that person's voice was soft, but Xu Yi could hear clearly, "Director Gao wants to see him."
Sure enough, when Xu Yifang walked into an elegant room, he saw Gao Junmo.
Director Gao with sword-browed square face was sitting in a soft wicker chair with a glass of bright red fruit wine, talking and laughing to the three men in white.
Seeing Xu Yi coming in, Gao Junmo stood up, waved away the young man in green clothes, looked at Xu Yi and smiled, "You are Yixu? How dare you stand on the pier, claiming the decree of the Royal Court of Dayue, and kill Yixu, a murderous maniac who killed dozens of people in one go?"
"I'm Yi Xu, but I'm not a murderous madman. Killing me is just using violence to control violence. It's my duty."
Xu Yi looked directly at Gao Junmo, saying neither humble nor overbearing.
He knew from Mr. Zhou that Gao Junmo once spoke for himself and suggested to the government order that he would not allow the Black Dragon Hall to challenge him, but the government order rejected it with the statement "If you don't follow the rules, why should you be around?"
Xu Yi really had a good impression of Director Gao.
"Okay, what a person to use violence to control violence, and the responsibility lies with me!"
Director Gao's eyes were brilliant, and he looked at Xu Yidao with admiration, "It stands to reason that you are working for the public and killing the thugs, which is really a feat of enforcing my Da Yue king's law. However, the government order pays more attention to profits, and I persuaded it to no avail. Let you take it on behalf of the company. In other words, it is my patrol department that owes you."
Xu Yi cupped his hands and said, "Director Gao is serious, I don't take these monsters to heart!"
Since entering the Gongmen, Xu Yi has realized the benefits of being in the Gongmen. It is said that it is easy to practice among the six gates. Since he intends to stay in the Gongmen for a long time, he naturally wants to climb.
At this moment, Gao Junmo took the initiative to jump out, which was a great opportunity for him. After a little calculation in his belly, he had already guessed Gao Junmo's temperament, knowing that humility and courtesy would only make the other party look down upon him, and his wild and unruly manner would impress the other party deeply.
Sure enough, Gao Junmo raised his head and laughed loudly, "I sang wildly to Tian Xiao, who is so arrogant and domineering! Bo Han, Pei Lin, Zhongshu, I have a good vision, right?"
"The general's vision is naturally extraordinary!"
"When did the director miss it?"
Next to Gao Junmo, one was fat and the other was thin, smiling and flattering, but the tallest man frowned and didn't speak.
Gao Junmo said with a smile, "Zhongshu, you seem to have a different opinion?"
The burly and strong man said, "I don't have any different opinions in humble positions, but I have seen too many reckless men with bold mouths and empty stomachs. This generation is bold and stupid. Even if death is approaching, I don't know it. I can still speak loudly."
Xu Yi stared at him and thought, I have never met you face to face, why did I recruit you.
