Dark Fairy

Chapter 41 The undercurrent in the sword shop

"what?"

"Ah what? Didn't you find Fat Dog to buy a new house? You paid 30 taels for a great deal. Fat Dog was worried that you might get involved in an accident, so he took the initiative to find me and wanted me to be a witness. What? Are you not afraid of dying in that mansion? I have heard about that place. Nine lives should not be treated as a joke, let alone taken care of.

Come on, tell me, how dare you do it?Is there any way to be sure that nothing will happen to me? "

Zhou Dong and Bailang have been hanging out on the street together for more than two years. He still has a deep understanding of Bailang. He knows that although this kid is young, he has a lot more eyes than most adults, so it's good to think about things. Regardless of the choice and habits of doing things, they all highlight a "plan before acting", and hardly see the impulsiveness and jerkyness that people of Bailang's age should have.

And Zhou Dong felt that Bailang, like him, actually likes to seek stability in everything, but he is lonely and free-spirited.But Bailang had to work hard to drag his family.But there is also a bottom line, at least in Zhou Dong's view, Bailang's bottom line is his younger siblings.

In order to get cheap, you drag your younger siblings to risk their lives?Zhou Dong was sure that Bailang would not be able to do such a thing.So he was even more curious about why Bailang would suddenly ignore the lessons of the previous nine lives and insist on buying that house?
"Brother Dong, do you think so highly of me?"

"Nonsense! You kid is more afraid of death than me. How can you take risks just to get a bargain? Tell me, I won't tell anyone else!" Zhou Dong smiled playfully and moved closer to Bailang, as if he wanted to hear a whisper.

"Brother Dong, I will tell you the truth. I don't know why those people died, but the old man in the family once said that people cannot live in places with old willow trees, otherwise it is either a disease or a disaster. There is a waist-thick foot in that house. A hundred-year-old willow tree! Is it good to live in this kind of place?
Others don't know, but they still keep the old willow tree thinking that it can enjoy the shade.Do you want to take advantage of this kind of bargain? "

"No wonder you cut down the tree and threw it away as soon as you bought it. So that's the idea? But you can think clearly, don't be unreliable and put your life in it."

"Brother Dong, don't worry, even if I guess wrong, the house won't kill people immediately, and I can still run away if I see something wrong."

"Hehe, you really figured it out, kid. Then I wish you a great deal. By the way, why did you come to me? Didn't you say that you have completed the promotion task to receive the reward?" Zhou Dong saw Bailang With the bottom of my heart, I stopped talking and changed the topic.

Bailang filled Zhou Dong's wine bowl, and said, "Brother Dong, I just came out from Master Liu before I came to you. My heart goes up and down all the time."

"what's wrong?"

"Brother Dong, Mr. Liu asked me to be the town hall in Qianfang after the new merger! What do you say?" Bai Lang lowered his voice and poured out all the reasons for his anxiety.In fact, it can be summed up in two words: restlessness.

But after listening to Bailang's words and emotions, Zhou Dong only acted a little surprised at the beginning, but then he continued to eat and drink without any strange expression on his face.It seems that from Bailang's words, the essence behind it has been clearly seen.

"Brother Dong, can you say something? I don't feel at ease. In a place as big as Qianfang, a newly promoted waist knife like me used to have many evil intentions waiting for me. Brother Dong, please give me Just a few words of advice, how can we best open up the situation when the time comes?"

Bailang also knew that he was determined to be the new "town hall" at this time.He admitted it, but he hoped to find the most suitable one as a breakthrough in the intricate relationship network to settle down.And Zhou Dong was the person he trusted the most and believed to be the most well-informed person, so he naturally turned to him for help.

Zhou Dong put down the chopsticks in his hand and said: "The two money shops in Dongshi must have been at odds with each other before. They both wanted to make more money. Even if they are both members of the same knife shop, there will be bumps and bruises. There are even some tricks secretly. They have been fighting for decades. People have changed one after another, and the grievances have always been there. Although they are not on the table, they have been formed over the years in the knife studio. The two forces confronted each other.

You will also know later that Liu Ye’s side won.I don’t know the process clearly, but I heard that it involved a fight to the death and a series of failures, which made Tang Zuodao very dissatisfied, so he completely lost his balance.One side wins completely, and the other side loses completely.

So do you think that after the merger, there will be people in Qianfang who are not allied with Mr. Liu to get involved? "

"No, unless Tang Zuodao arranges it, it will definitely be impossible to pick peaches at this time." Bai Lang didn't have to think about answering directly.

"Isn't that right? We are all "our own people", so we still have to give basic face. Therefore, there will definitely be no troubles about you becoming the town hall, and no one will stop it. But also As you can imagine, there will definitely be many tricks behind the scenes. And they will press on you step by step. In fact, they are pressing on Master Liu step by step.

Do you know that Mr. Liu actually had no choice but to ask you to become the town hall? "

"Ah? How could it be?" This sentence immediately stunned Bai Lang. He leaned forward and guarded Zhou Dong's next words.

Zhou Dong sighed: "Master Liu is good at everything, but his talent is not good. He has been stuck at the fifth level for many years and it is difficult to make any progress. Now that he is older, his strength is not as good as before, and it is difficult to have anyone around him who can help him with his cultivation strength. His people. In the short term, they can barely survive by relying on personal connections, but as time goes by, the swordsmanship studio will still have to rely on its fists to do the talking.

If I guess correctly, you should be an attempt by Mr. Liu. He needs to see if you are a flash in the pan or if you can really grow into a pillar.

Of course, based on my understanding of Master Liu, if you can't stand it this time, you won't be given up directly, but the importance will be much less than it is now. "

"Why me?" Bailang thought seriously after listening to it. He roughly understood the context, but why did he choose him?There are quite a lot of waist knives under Liu Xu's door in the knife shop.

"Because you have potential. You are 16 years old and have a brain and a clean net worth. I brought you out of the same line as Master Liu. Once you can break through this barrier, it will be far more useful than other people under Master Liu! Dare to use it!
Don't you want to know how to open a situation?

I told you before that the people in the knife shop are all blood-licking guys after all, this is the essence.You don't have to think too much when you are indecisive, just let the bloodletting go to anyone who refuses to accept it.Don't look at the group of people in Qianfang as old, they are far inferior to their killing skills, what are they afraid of?
As long as you can make those seldom-seen guys afraid or dare not directly confront you, then you will be on your feet.The secret method believes that you can easily deal with it as long as you hold your ground. "

At the end Zhou Dong added another sentence: "You haven't gone to the teaching hall yet, have you? There will be a chance to choose a method after the waist knife, don't waste it."
