Daqin Baizhisheng
Chapter 5
Wanxiangmen, in an unknown year or month, this mysterious name, or"shop", appeared in the world.
Where is the storefront? No one knows.
Who is the boss? No one has seen it.
The only thing people know is that this shop is huge and spreads all over the world. They do business, but rarely accept gold and silver, because the business that can enter the shop is sky-high or even priceless above the ninth floor. Most of the guests pay with goods, of course, it can also be news, the real news of the reward offered by Wanxiangmen. The most important business of Wanxiangmen is selling news.
Without a storefront, how does Wanxiangmen attract business?
It was a rare sunny day.
Merchants and guests were enjoying the luxury and fine wine of the capital in the tavern, enjoying the peace that the soldiers in the front had exchanged their lives for.
This tavern is very strange.
It is said that the boss here is a person who dares to do business with King Zhao, and the identity of the shopkeeper here is even more amazing.
Zhao Ji, the concubine of Qin Gongzi Zichu, these are not important.
What is more important is that Gongzi Zheng (hostage Zheng) who follows her is the legitimate son of Qin by blood.
Previously, Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, buried alive 400,000 Zhao prisoners of war in the Battle of Changping. Now, General Le Jian (the same clan as Le Yi, a famous general of Zhao) is leading his troops to fight with Qin in Changping. Therefore, Zhao Ji and her son not only lived in poverty, but also had to hide from place to place. The situation did not improve until Bai Xiaosheng made a deal with the King of Zhao.
Looking closer at the counter, there was a very inappropriate scene, where a bunch of ruffians with green eyes looked at Zhao Ji hungrily, which made his blood boil. He couldn't help but wipe his hands on her, and kept taking advantage of her:"Zhao Ji, how about accompanying me tonight? How much is the wine? You pay for it.""
"Hey hey hey...wait a minute, I'll pay double what he offers, Zhao Ji, stay with me tonight, hehe~"
"I'll triple it!"
"I'll pay ten times more!"
In order to show that they were the richest, this group of lecherous devils offered a sky-high price, with no upper limit, as if they had to make Zhao Ji accompany them.
Zhao Ji was no longer surprised by this. She handled it with ease, collected the wine money, and shuttled between the wine, sex and violence, slippery and untouchable.
At this time, a loud cock crowed suddenly from the backyard, and then a stern-faced young man came with a dead chicken with a decapitated head, and a kitchen knife in his other hand, with blood still dripping from the tip of the knife.
""Mother, should I steam or stew this chicken?" As he said this, the young man raised the sharp tip of his knife and murderously gestured to dismember the poor dead chicken.
The rough men surrounding Zhao Ji were frightened by the young man's cold-blooded actions and gasped in shock, as if the young man was dismembering them instead of the chicken. They shrank their necks and left in a daze.
"Zhenger……"For some reason, Zhao Ji had tears in her eyes. She looked at her child and wanted to hold him in her arms, but she hesitated for some reason. It was late at night, and the sound of dogs barking and night watchmen beating the night watch came from not far away.
When closing the door, Zhao Ji, as usual, glanced at the owner of the grocery store opposite with full vigilance, and a helpless look appeared on her face, which was very different from the daytime. In fact, the whole street was full of people monitoring them...
After closing the door, a female voice suddenly sounded behind her:"Master and the hostage Zheng are back."
It was indeed from the mouth of the chicken-killing Ying Zheng, but now, standing there was a pretty woman in a light-colored short robe.
Her name is Qu Wuyi, Bai Xiaosheng's only apprentice. Unlike her master's attitude towards playing with the world, Qu Wuyi is taciturn, sentimental, and heartless. She is a cold and arrogant girl who is indifferent to the world.
Zhao Ji was overjoyed and forgot to speak for a while. A few years ago, Bai Xiaosheng secretly took Ying Zheng out of Handan, and Qu Wuyi transformed into Ying Zheng's appearance to cover up.
Handan city gradually fell into sleep. In a dark room in that"inconspicuous restaurant", Zhao Ji and her son, who had not seen each other for several years, hugged each other tightly.
Bai Xiaosheng was a businessman, and profit was his first priority. However, seeing this warm scene, he could not help but yearn for it and murmured,"My relatives are there again!"……"
Qu Wuyi was petite, and she could only stand on tiptoe to reach Bai Xiaosheng's chest. She had to look up at him and comfort him softly,"Master, you still have Wuyi."
Only in front of Bai Xiaosheng would Qu Wuyi show a hint of the weakness that a girl should have.
Bai Xiaosheng touched the girl's cute bun and said with a smile,"Wuyi, you have parents, and sooner or later you will leave me as your master."
Qu Wuyi's slender body shook violently, as if stimulated by something, and her tone suddenly changed to cold,"Since they abandoned me, they are not qualified to be my parents!
" Qu Wuyi was born strange and had strange phenomena in her body, so she was abandoned by her parents.
At that time, she had just learned to walk.
When Bai Xiaosheng met her, the girl was holding a rusty little sword in her hand, and her eyes were colder than the flying snow, but in her arms she was holding a rabbit that was about to freeze to death.
At that moment, Bai Xiaosheng was moved.
For the first time, he broke the iron rule of"not moving when it is not beneficial" and saved her for free.
Soon he accepted her as his apprentice.
This was the first loss-making business in Bai Xiaosheng's life.
Qu Wuyi didn't want his master to lose money, so he suddenly said with a smile:"Master, you taught me equal exchange. Master, I saved me, and everything I have belongs to you."
Bai Xiaosheng was stunned when he heard it, and he wanted to laugh but couldn't. How could equal exchange be used like this? But it didn't seem to be wrong.
While talking, Zhao Ji and her son felt less homesick, and they knelt down on the ground and said:"Thank you for saving my life and teaching me."
Bai Xiaosheng would not accept this kneeling, not because he was worried about something, but because of the nature of a businessman. Since he had received the"remuneration", he had to do his best to do his best. He helped Zhao Ji and her son up, and explained calmly:"This is just an equal exchange."
Zhao Ji didn't know what Bai Xiaosheng had received to take care of them, but no matter what, the favor was done, and she invited him:"Zhao Ji has no way to repay you, I will prepare a table of light wine to express my gratitude."
Bai Xiaosheng was a busy man, and she was about to refuse, but unexpectedly Qu Wuyi was more direct. She took her master and left, muttering:"My master and I have something to do, so I won't disturb you and your son from reminiscing about the past."
This obviously jealous tone made the others stunned.
After leaving the back door of the restaurant, there was a black-covered carriage waiting for a long time. On the throne, the coachman deliberately lowered his voice and said hoarsely:"There is a guest who knows all the secret codes. He is just outside the city"
"Oh? Who is it?"
