Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 338 Meeting Bai Luoyu
Dongling City.

There is only a two-meter-wide suspension bridge connecting the east and west sides of the river.

Under the suspension bridge is the Nujiang River, which divides the entire Dongling City into two.

The reason why Nujiang River is named after the word "Nu" is because the waves in this river are extremely turbulent, the undercurrent is fast, and there are many reefs.

The river is full of waves like snow-white foam.

Walking on the suspension bridge, even though it is still the dry season in the cave, you can still hear the sound of extremely turbulent waves hitting the reefs and rock walls under your feet.

Faced with the hard reefs and rock walls, the waves are instantly turned into snow-like foam.

Jiang Ning looked up at the magnificent city wall in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly marvel at the geographical advantages of Hedong.

Dongling City, as the name suggests, is located in a mountainous area.

It was built based on the natural rugged terrain.

The rapid flow of the Nujiang River almost cuts off the possibility of attacking Dongcheng District by water.

The only bridge connecting Dongcheng District is a two-meter-wide suspension bridge.

Once the drawbridge is raised, there is no way into the city.

Not to mention, Dongcheng District also built a twenty-meter-high city wall based on the dangerous terrain along the river.

The city wall is so high that even birds can hardly cross it.

This can only be achieved in a feudal environment where personal power belongs to oneself.

Jiang Ning crossed the three-meter-wide suspension bridge and paid the entrance fee to Dongcheng District at the city gate. Only then did he step into Dongcheng District, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

Walk on the wide road.

"Selling pancakes, selling pancakes, big pancakes fresh from the oven"

"Selling tofu pudding, Dongshi's tofu pudding."

"Grilled kidneys are a woman's favorite and a man's weapon."

"."

Walking in the bustling downtown of Dongcheng District and listening to the hawking sounds, Jiang Ning suddenly had the illusion that he was back in the inner city of Luoshui County.

Then, the scent of chopped green onions wafting from his nose made him drool.

"Boss, give me two pancakes!"

"okay!!"

"Sincerely, thirty cents!!"

"So expensive?" Jiang Ning frowned.

He also understands the prices.

Last year in Luoshui County, even when grain prices rose slightly, the price was only five cents for two.

Although we are now in the county seat of Dongling County, the prices are generally higher than those in the county seat, but it is still a bit outrageous that the prices have tripled.

According to his understanding, an ordinary family could only earn twenty or thirty cents a day by working hard.

In other words, after working hard for a day, you can only buy one or two pancakes.

In his opinion, this was indeed a bit outrageous.

"The customer is from outside, right?" the pancake chef asked.

"Yes, I just arrived in Dongling City!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"That's not surprising!" The pancake chef smiled and said, "Dongling City has a bad terrain, and most of the food is imported. The cost of transporting it from outside is increased. And this is East City District. Customers should also know that things in East City District are generally more expensive than those in West City District. After all, stall fees and city entrance fees are also expenses."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded, understanding.

He then took out a piece of silver weighing about half an ounce from his Sumeru Ring.

"No need to change!" Jiang Ning left the change and walked towards the address Bai Luoyu had left for him, holding the pancake wrapped in oil paper.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" The pancake chef behind him grabbed the change and bowed repeatedly to Jiang Ning's back.

Half a tael of silver is equal to five hundred coins.

It is equivalent to the hard-earned money earned from selling pancakes on the street for nearly half a month.

along the way.

Jiang Ning grabbed the oil paper, took bites of the pancake, and walked towards the address Bai Luoyu told him in advance.

Before coming to Dongling City, he already knew the map of Dongling City very well and had memorized it all in his mind.

As we move forward, the terrain continues to rise.

White House.

Looking at the two words on the gilded plaque in front.

"This should be it!" Jiang Ning glanced at the restaurant not far away and said to himself.

Above the clouds.

That’s the name of the restaurant.

It is also a landmark in the east of the Dongling City.

This was also the location that Bai Luoyu told him in advance.

at the same time.

Outside the Bai Mansion, the two knife-wielding guards guarding the gate perked up immediately when they saw Jiang Ning approaching.

"Stop whoever comes!"

One of them held the scabbard and signaled Jiang Ning to stop.

Jiang Ning bowed and said, "I am Jiang Ning from Luoshui County. Please inform Brother Bai that I am here to visit him!"

Hearing this, the two looked at each other.

"Brother Bai!" One of them opened his lips slightly and spoke.

This made one person nod slightly.

Then he looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Dear guest, please wait a moment. Lord Bai should not have taken his lunch break yet. I will go and inform him right away!"

After saying this, the man turned around, stepped over the threshold, and walked hurriedly and slowly towards the inner courtyard.

The name Jiang Ning just mentioned made him dare not ignore it.

Anyone who dares to address Envoy Bai as his brother is either a blind idiot or a real big shot.

He didn't dare to gamble.

Looking at the man's back as he went to report, Jiang Ning stood there and waited patiently.

It only takes a moment.

Before the martial arts master who went to report came back, Bai Luoyu's figure appeared in Jiang Ning's eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Luoyu crossed the spacious front yard and appeared at the door.

"Brother Jiang!" Bai Luoyu's face suddenly showed joy, as if he was bathed in spring breeze.

"Brother Bai, I'm sorry to bother you today!" Jiang Ning bowed and smiled.

"What are you talking about!" Bai Luoyu stepped over the threshold and appeared in front of Jiang Ning in just two or three steps.

Although his steps were big, they did not seem out of place at all.

"Come on, go have a drink with me, I'll welcome you!" Bai Luoyu grabbed Jiang Ning's sleeve and dragged him into the mansion.

"Okay, I'll follow Brother Bai's arrangements!" Jiang Ning smiled.

at the same time.

The two martial arts masters who were guarding the palace watched Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu step into the mansion. Their eyes met, and a hint of relief flashed in their eyes.

I'm glad I wasn't rude or arrogant.

At this moment, the two of them also remembered Jiang Ning's appearance deeply.

They knew that the person who could make Bai Luoyu pay so much attention to him must be an important person.

The inner court.

"Brother Jiang, this wine is called Qiongjiang Yuye, please try it!" After Bai Luoyu filled a glass with emerald green wine, he raised his hand and motioned Jiang Ning to taste it.

The wine in the glass looked like emerald green jade, especially in the absence of wind, it looked like a piece of solidified jade.

"Let me try it!" Jiang Ning picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Good wine!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"Brother Jiang, you are not sincere!" Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning, and then said seriously: "Brother Jiang looks like he is worried. Did something happen?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled bitterly, and then said: "It seems that I can't hide it from Brother Bai."

"Brother Jiang, tell me what's going on!" Bai Luoyu put down the wine in his hand and motioned Jiang Ning to sit down.

After the two of them sat down, Jiang Ning immediately told them everything that had happened before.

Soon after.

"I thought it was something else?" Bai Luoyun sneered, and then he continued: "Leave this matter to me. If your eldest brother and his wife's family lose even a hair, I will come to you with my head on my head!"

"In Dongling City, if it was really Yu Manyun who did it, this little Yu Manyun can't turn the tables!"

"If she had offended me, I would have killed her right in the street. I have to hold back my anger even if I am in Shuiyue Jiangong's position."

Hearing Bai Luoyu's words, Jiang Ning's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise.

If Bai Luoyu had not boasted or exaggerated, he felt that he seemed to have underestimated Bai Luoyu before.

Bai Luoyu saw the flash of expression in Jiang Ning's eyes and couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Jiang, do you think I'm bragging?"

Jiang Ning said: "No, I just feel a little shocked and can't believe it!"

"Brother Jiang is quite tactful!" Bai Luoyu smiled.

Then he stood up, looked in the direction of the capital, and said in a resounding voice: "Brother Jiang, you have to understand one thing, this world is still the world of Daxia!"

"I am a sixth-rank official, holding an important position and holding great power, and I am one level higher than the official I meet."

"No matter how strong and famous Xiao Qiushui of Shuiyue Sword Palace is, she is not a master after all. If she is not a master, she has no right to be free from the power of Daxia."

"If she dares to get married, I, the Great Xia Grandmaster, will block her path to becoming a Grandmaster, and make her perish in the Water Moon Sword Palace, and destroy her Water Moon Sword Palace!"

After hearing Bai Luoyu's powerful speech, Jiang Ning felt that he seemed to have underestimated the Great Xia court.

The reason why Daxia was able to rule the world for more than 800 years was not because of reason, but because of the oppression of power.

In front of Daxia, a mere fourth-grade martial artist is not enough.

He immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to Brother Bai!"

"No need to be so formal!" Bai Luoyu waved his hand.

Then he said, "By the way, where are your eldest brother and his wife and their family now?"

"Linjiang Tower!"

"Linjiang Tower? A place like that?" Bai Luoyu looked surprised, then nodded in understanding: "Yes, Brother Jiang was born and raised in Luoshui County, and he doesn't have a residence in Dongling City."

Jiang Ning said: "That's right, so I also plan to buy a house in the east of the city. Unfortunately, time is tight now, and I don't have time to stay here for so long."

"If Brother Jiang wants to buy a house, I have a way, and it's very quick, at most one or two hours. Do you think it's possible?" Bai Luoyu said.

"One or two hours?" Jiang Ning looked at Bai Luoyu and nodded: "That's fine!"

Although it is important to go back to find Wang Jin and take him to heal his wounds, it is more important to settle my eldest brother and his wife's family.

In Dongcheng District, it is closer to Bai Luoyu, and Bai Luoyu can also better protect his eldest brother and his wife's family.

Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning and nodded, then clapped his hands: "Xiaomei!"

As Bai Luoyu spoke, the half-closed door was suddenly pushed open.

A girl in a white dress walked in: "Master!"

Bai Luoyu said, "Go and call Wang Fugui over! Tell him to show up in front of me within half an hour! And tell him to bring the residential registration for sale in the East City District."

"Yes, master!" the woman replied and walked out immediately.

"Brother Bai, who is Wang Fugui?" Jiang Ning asked.

Bai Luoyu smiled and said, "He is the land deed officer, in charge of the land deed transactions in Dongling City. He has the most complete information. He has information on all the houses that are to be sold in the east of the city."

"Brother Jiang, just be patient and drink with me. He will appear in front of us in half an hour at most!"

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Less than two quarters of an hour.

A fat man with a big belly appeared in front of the two people, panting.

"Patrol Envoy Bai!" Wang Fugui swallowed and suppressed the heavy breath that was about to burst out of his chest.

"Wang Fugui, did you bring the things?" Bai Luoyu picked up the folding fan on the table, stood up and spoke.

"Patrol Officer Bai, I've brought it!" Wang Fugui nodded repeatedly.

Then he placed the purple gold box in his hands on the table in front of him.

"Patrol Officer Bai, the registration information of all the houses for sale in the east of the city is in there, please take a look, sir!"

"I don't have the time to look at it!" Bai Luoyu opened the folding fan in his hand and gently waved it. Then he said, "I'll let my brother tell me the requirements, and you find a suitable house for me."

"No problem, Patrolman Bai!" Wang Fugui immediately pounded his chest and said, "I have memorized all the information about houses in the city. You just need to state the conditions, and I can definitely find any house that meets the requirements."

"Okay!" Bai Luoyu nodded.

Then he looked at Jiang Ning: "Brother Jiang, tell me what you want from the house."

Wang Fugui also looked at Jiang Ning at this time, and said respectfully: "Is this gentleman looking to buy a house? May I know his name?"

"I'm Jiang Ning!" Jiang Ning bowed.

"It turns out to be Lord Jiang!" Wang Fugui looked respectful.

You make friends like the kind of person you are.

He knew that the friends that Bai Xunshi made, who were close enough to be called brothers, must be extraordinary people.

So even though he didn't know Jiang Ning, he didn't dare to look down on him in the slightest.

Then Wang Fugui continued respectfully: "Master Jiang, please tell me the conditions for choosing a house, and I will help you think about it."

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, then said, "Close to water, the bigger the area, the better, and the closer to here, the better!"

"I like Brother Jiang's choice!" The folding fan in Bai Luoyu's hand suddenly closed with a "swish", then he clapped his hands and chuckled.

He looked at Wang Fugui again: "Did you hear me clearly? The closer to my mansion, the better!"

"I understand!" Wang Fugui nodded repeatedly.

He stood there in thought for a moment.

Then he opened the purple gold wooden box in front of him and searched for the title deed in it.

After a while.

He picked up a land deed and came to Bai Luoyu and Jiang Ning.

"My Lords, please take a look! This house was originally owned by my Lords. Last year, it was raided by Inspector Bai and the house was confiscated. Now I have both deeds. Whether it is the location or other aspects, it should meet Lord Jiang's requirements. The key is that it is less than a mile away from Inspector Bai's home."

"With the Lord?" Bai Luoyu looked suspicious, then he asked, "With Guangkun?"

"It's him!" said Liu Fugui.

"Show me the title deed!" Bai Luoyu said.

"Yes!" Liu Fugui nodded immediately and handed the deed in his hand to Bai Luoyu.

Bai Luoyu took the deed, looked at it twice, and then nodded.

"Brother Jiang, take a look!"

Jiang Ning took the land deed handed over by Bai Luoyu, took a look at it and nodded immediately.

The title deed not only indicates the size of the house, but also the surrounding topography.

In Dongling City, a tributary of the Nujiang River runs through the entire East City District.

Tributaries were also channeled.

In the painting of the deed, a small river about ten feet wide runs through one side of the house.

It can be said that it is surrounded by mountains and rivers.

And the area of ​​this house is also very good.

It is larger than the house he had in Luoshui County, covering an area of ​​six and a half acres, or more than 4,300 square meters.
