Chapter 32 Si Jianming
In the evening, Zuixianlou.
After the gong sounded three times at the hour of Xu, Wang Ye and Aji started to prepare for closing.
If it were in the past, Wang Ye would have waited until 2:15 pm before closing the shop, to see if he could meet some traveling merchants staying overnight and make some extra money.
But now, Wang Ye doesn't care so much.
The man who took the fire monkey is still wandering around the city. The longer he stays there, the more dangerous it will be.
Rather than taking risks to earn a few more taels of silver, it is better to close the store early and live in peace and comfort.
"Shopkeeper..."
At this time, Aji cleaned the tables and chairs in the hall and said to Wang Ye: "I thought you were a money-grubber who would rather die than give up money, but I didn't expect you to close half an hour earlier for two consecutive days."
" It seems that you are afraid of death too!"
Aji's words were full of teasing.
"Bah, you are just a dog that can't spit out ivory!"
After hearing what Aji said, Wang Ye snorted: "Who in this world is not afraid of death? No matter how much money you make, you have to live to spend it!"
"The owner of Yuelai Inn was not afraid of death, but he and his inn were burned to charcoal. The blackened beams are still emitting black smoke!"
"I won't follow in his footsteps!"
After hearing what Wang Ye said, Aji smiled.
Although this old miser is greedy for money on weekdays, it seems that he is still quite clear-headed at critical moments.
Thinking of this, Aji picked up the door and prepared to close the store.
However, when he was about to install the door panel, a big hand pressed on it.
"Wait a minute!"
As the big hand pressed on the door panel, a steady voice was heard.
Following the sound, I saw a man in white clothes and holding a long sword slowly walking in: "I'm staying at the hotel!"
The man was tall, mighty, and very handsome, with an extraordinary heroic spirit between his brows.
He was holding the door with one hand and holding a wine jar with the other, which made people feel that he could not be looked at directly.
!!!
Under normal circumstances, Wang Ye would have been overjoyed to hear these words.
But now with the previous experience of Yuelai Inn, these words really shocked him.
"Sir!"
Looking at the man in white, Wang Ye smiled flatteringly: "That's really inappropriate. We are closed now. Please go somewhere else!"
As he spoke, Wang Ye winked at Aji.
Seeing Wang Ye's look, Ajiden immediately understood what he meant.
He grabbed the door with both arms and tried to push the man out.
However, when Aji exerted force with his arms, the door panel did not move at all and could not be moved forward even a little bit!
Seeing this scene, Wang Ye was slightly shocked.
This man was actually able to withstand Aji's strength!
"This guy has great strength!"
Feeling the force coming from the door, the man's eyes flashed with surprise: "From the looks of it, your martial arts skills have reached the Grandmaster level!"
"Who are you?"
Having his realm breached by this man, Aji spoke with full vigilance.
" Don't panic, both of you!"
Hearing this, the man smiled slightly and said, "I'm just staying here for one night and will leave tomorrow!"
"As for the price, it's negotiable!"
As he spoke, the man flashed away, pulled himself out of the struggle on the door panel, and placed a small ingot of gold on the counter!
"Here's ten taels of gold. Just asking to stay here for one night, isn't that too much?"
Looking at Wang Ye in front of him, the man spoke.
Something is wrong!
Something is so fucking wrong!
Seeing the gold ingot in front of him, Wang Ye thought secretly in his heart.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
The man in front of me was very generous but weird. He actually gave ten taels of gold for one night's stay!
"Hehehe, no reward without merit!"
Seeing this small ingot of gold, Wang Ye smiled and shook his head, saying: "Although I love money, I dare not accept windfall from unknown sources!"
"I'm counting on this inn to live in during my retirement, but I don't want it to be like Yue Lai Inn, which has been turned into charcoal!"
"Hahaha!"
After hearing Wang Ye's words , the man was slightly startled at first, then he burst into laughter: "I was wondering why the two of you were like this, it turns out it's for something like this!"
As he spoke, the man clasped his fists towards Wang Ye and Aji and said, "I am Si Jianming, a disciple of the Sword Saint Mu Yingbai. You two can rest assured!"
As he spoke, Si Jianming flashed the long sword in his hand: "Please look up, both of you!"
In an instant, a three-foot-long sword that looked like green jade slowly came out of its sheath and appeared in front of Wang Ye and Aji.
"Mingyu Sword!"
Seeing the long sword, Aji exclaimed: "You are really the disciple of the Sword Saint!"
"Wait a minute!"
After hearing what Aji said, Wang Ye scratched the back of his head: "What Mingyu Sword? Who is the Sword Saint?"
"You old money-grubber, you really only care about money!"
In response to Wang Ye's reaction, Aji rolled his eyes: "You don't even recognize the Sword Saint!"
"Let me tell you, the Sword Saint is a famous swordsman in the martial arts world. Because his swordsmanship is so divine that he has reached the holy realm, people respect him as the Sword Saint!"
"Many of the sword techniques you have seen now were performed by the Sword Saint, and this Mingyu Sword is the Sword Saint's sword!"
"You are an innkeeper, but you don't even know this. You go out and brag to others about your own stuff, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by others!"
Looking at Wang Ye who had a confused look on his face, Aji said with disdain.
"Hey, you little brat, look at what you can do"
After hearing what Aji said, Wang Ye raised his hand and slapped him: "You stinky loach, you got a little bit of sea water, you really think you are seafood!?"
In fact, Wang Ye has been in the martial arts world for many years. How could he not know the name of the Sword Saint and recognize the Mingyu Sword?
What shocked him was that the young man in front of him was actually the Sword Master's apprentice.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye immediately smiled. He looked at Si Jianming and said, "So you are the disciple of the Sword Saint. Please take a seat!"
"If it were someone else, I would definitely not dare to let you stay here casually, but if you are the disciple of the Sword Saint, I would be willing to do it a thousand times!"
"And this ingot of gold, the goods in this shop are of good quality and low price, so we really don't need so much!"
Having said that, Wang Ye put the gold into his pocket with a sly smile on his face.
Seeing Wang Ye's behavior, Aji covered his face.
This old miser is really obsessed with money. He says one thing and does another.
It's so embarrassing to do such a thing in front of the Sword Master's disciple!
"Shopkeeper, you don't have to do this..."
Seeing Wang Ye's appearance, Si Jianming also smiled: "I have some small troubles here, this ingot of gold is for you to use to repair the inn!"
trouble?
Renovating the Inn?!
What the hell is this?
Hearing this, Wang Ye was stunned.
Suddenly, the gold in my hand became hot.
"Si Jianming, hand over the Fire Monkey quickly and I will spare your life!"
At this moment, a roar came from outside the door: "If not, I will burn this inn and cut you into pieces!"
"Did you hear that?"
Hearing this, Si Jianming smiled slightly and said to Wang Ye: "This is the trouble."
