The system is a broken bowl

After listening to Yan'er's explanation, Song Chen couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. This Du Sanye used the barefoot viper to explore the waterway in the swamp, just like Shi Yao used a substitute doll as a soul-eating witch doll. They all used the golden bowl as a chamber pot, which was a waste of natural resources.

From the tone of this Du Sanye, he or his family regarded the barefoot viper as a tool to make money.

In this way, if you spend money to buy the barefoot viper from them, as long as the price is right, they may agree. Risking your life to run a business is not just to make more money?

As the saying goes, everything that can be solved with money is not a problem. It is definitely better to solve it with a transaction than to rob it, and it can also save a lot of trouble.

The bamboo raft followed the bubbles on the water surface and moved quickly in the swamp. Sure enough, with the barefoot viper leading the way, the bamboo raft would not run aground, and there were no monsters blocking the road. The cloud-like miasma seemed to be deliberately avoiding it, and did not cause any intrusion to the fleet.

Two hours later, the bamboo raft arrived at the west bank smoothly.

The crowd did not rush to travel, but unloaded the goods carried by the mules and horses, and then rested and ate. The people who supported the bamboo raft were ordinary people and warriors. After two hours of hard work, they were still very tired.

The five martial artists in the middle stage of the Tianjin Realm hurriedly left the team on the pretext of going to explore the way.

Song Chen knew that they were going to conspire, and was about to follow them to find out the truth, but unexpectedly, they stopped after only two miles. The distance of a thousand meters was far beyond the consciousness and perception of Mr. Du San, but for Song Chen, it was not much different from sitting next to them and listening to them talk.

"Brother Lu, you asked us out, is there something?" A martial artist in black asked.

This guy surnamed Lu was the guy who took the first raft with Mr. Du San. It seemed that he was the leader among the few people.

"Brothers, there are not many barefoot snakes in the Du family. I am afraid that the way to make money for us brothers will be cut off!" The man surnamed Lu said in a deep voice.

"Let's just break it off! We have made a lot of money from the Du family in the past few years, so it's not in vain. Besides, there is no such thing as a fixed way to make money in the world?"

The oldest martial artist among the five took over the conversation. "Besides, the Du family has been very kind to us. If we don't do business anymore, it would be nice for us to be guest elders in the Du family."

The man surnamed Lu snorted coldly: "What do you mean by being kind to us? Every time the Du family makes hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, they only give each of us brothers 10,000 taels. It's just like sending beggars!"

"Then what do you think, Brother Lu, should we do?" asked the martial artist in black.

The man surnamed Lu pondered for a moment, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. "If you ask me, why don't we do this..."

"Just listen to Brother Lu. I also think this is a rare opportunity to make a fortune." The guy in black was the first to agree.

The other two also agreed, and only the oldest one was still a little hesitant and entangled.

After a while, under the almost threatening persuasion of the other four, he finally compromised: "Okay! Since you have decided to do this, I can agree, but I declare in advance that we only seek wealth and not life!"

They lowered their voices to discuss, but Song Chen still heard it clearly.

Martial artists in the middle stage of Tianjin Realm actually have a very high status in Tiangan Continent. But whether they want to pursue a superior material life or practice Taoism, they cannot do without a lot of wealth to support them.

These five people neither want to serve the Great Shun Empire nor join any sect. They just want to be free and unrestrained casual practitioners, so they have a strong desire to make money.

However, as the oldest martial artist said, the five of them have made a lot of money by following the Du family in business over the years. Although the Du family has 100,000 or 200,000 taels of gold every time, one-third of the profit is divided among them.

The ungrateful and insatiable white-eyed wolf probably refers to people like the man surnamed Lu.

Song Chen shook his head. It might be because of Xuanyuan Tiansou and the Ninth Emperor's Concubine Su Jin'er. What he hated most was people who stabbed him in the back and had no moral bottom line.

A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. Even if you don't want to work hard to make money and want to make money in a side way, there is a way to steal. You can rob openly like Master Tiancan, or you can steal like a little thief. But these people, after eating the host's meal, they shit in the host's pot. This is not enough. They also want to kill people to silence them. It is unforgivable.

...

"Third Master, I feel that Lu Peng and the others are a little abnormal this time. You should be careful!" Du Qi, a servant of the Du family, said.

Master Du sighed, "How could I not know what they were thinking? I originally wanted to trick them and stop after this trip was successfully returned. Unexpectedly, Lu Peng was already impatient. It seems that we are in danger this time!"

"Master San, didn't you tell them that they could run a few more times? Even if they have bad intentions, they won't attack us this time, right?"

Du Qi said in panic.

This is understandable. In front of the five Heavenly Gold Kings, let alone him, a small shrimp in the Rock Realm, even Master Du San, who is in the middle stage of the Earth Silver Realm, is also meat on the chopping board!

"It's no secret that the Du family has used up the barefoot viper. How could Lu Peng be so easily tricked?"

Master Du San took out a large porcelain bottle and handed it to Du Qi. "Du Qi, take this barefoot viper and quickly find a place to hide. If I can come back safely, you will come out and take us back. If something happens to me, you will quietly go back and tell the head of the family what happened."

Song Chen could have stood aside and watched this incident, and then robbed the barefoot viper. At most, Long Er would have to take a trip to send Du Sanye and Du Qi back to the Great Shun Empire. But the actions of Lu Peng and others aroused his indignation.

"Old man, I can help you."

Song Chen took off the charm mask while speaking.

"Who are you? How did you appear here?"

Du Sanye and Du Qi were both shocked. In their opinion, this young man who suddenly appeared must be the helper invited by Lu Peng.

"It doesn't matter who I am. The key is that I have heard Lu Peng and others discuss and prepare to kill people and rob goods."

Song Chen smiled. "How about we make a deal? Later, if that Lu wants to kill you and rob the goods, I will stop him and send you back to the east coast. Of course, in return, you will give me the remaining barefoot viper."

"Why should we trust you?"

Du Qi looked alert, holding a large porcelain bottle, hiding behind Du Sanye.

"Du Qi, give the barefoot viper to this warrior!" said Mr. Du San calmly.

"But..."

Du Qi wanted to say something else, but seeing Mr. Du San's determined eyes, he finally handed the big porcelain bottle to Song Chen.

"Let's do this. As long as you prove that what I said is true, you can sell the goods to me here, and the price is the same as that of Jinsha City. If you want to go back to the East Coast, I will also send you there."

Song Chen's goal is to obtain the barefoot viper. Since he has successfully obtained it, he doesn't mind being a Liangshan hero who "shouts when he sees injustice and takes action when it's time to take action."

The conditions offered by Song Chen made Mr. Du San overjoyed. Although his cultivation is not high, he has a lot of experience in the martial arts world. He can see that Song Chen is a master of the Condensation Realm, and his intention is just to get the barefoot viper.

Although the barefoot viper is the secret treasure of the Du family, it is a disposable item. Once it is put into the swamp, it will never be recovered.

This time he went out to do business, he had made the worst plan. Song Chen's appearance gave him a glimmer of hope. At least, there was a change, and Lu Peng would not succeed easily.

After listening to Yan'er's explanation, Song Chen shook his head and sighed. This Du Sanye used the barefoot viper to explore the waterway in the swamp, just like Shi Yao used a substitute doll as a soul-eating witch doll. They all used the golden bowl as a chamber pot, which was a waste of natural resources.

Listening to the tone of this Du Sanye, he or his family regarded the barefoot viper as a tool to make money.

In this way, if they spend money to buy the barefoot viper from them, as long as the price is right, they may agree. Risking their lives to run business, isn't it just to make more money?

As the saying goes, everything that can be solved with money is not a problem. It can be solved by trading, which is definitely better than robbing, and it can save a lot of trouble.

The bamboo raft followed the bubbles on the water surface and moved quickly in the swamp. Sure enough, with the barefoot snake leading the way, the bamboo raft would not run aground, and no monsters blocked the way. Clouds of miasma seemed to avoid the fleet intentionally, and did not cause any disturbance.

Two hours later, the bamboo raft arrived at the west bank smoothly.

The people did not rush to travel, but unloaded the goods carried by the mules and horses, and then rested and ate. The people who supported the bamboo raft were ordinary people and warriors. Two hours of hard work was still very tiring.

"Brother Lu, you asked us out, is there something?" A martial artist in black asked.

This guy surnamed Lu is the one who took the first raft with Master Du San. It seems that he is the leader among the few people.

"Brothers, the Du family's barefoot snakes are running out. I'm afraid that our way to make money will be cut off!" The man surnamed Lu said in a deep voice.

"Let it be cut off! We have made a lot of money from the Du family in the past few years, so it's not in vain. Besides, is there any unchanging way to make money in the world?"

The oldest martial artist among the five took over the conversation. "Besides, the Du family has been very kind to us. If we don't do business anymore, it's not bad for us to be guest elders in the Du family."

The man surnamed Lu snorted coldly: "What do you mean by being kind to us? Every time the Du family makes hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, they only give us brothers 10,000 taels each. It's just like sending beggars!"

"Then according to Brother Lu, what should we do?" asked the martial artist in black.

The man surnamed Lu pondered for a moment, and a fierce light shot out of his eyes. "If you ask me, why don't we do this..."

"Just listen to Brother Lu, I also think this is a rare opportunity to make a fortune." The guy in black was the first to agree.

The other two also agreed, only the oldest one was still a little hesitant and entangled.

After a while, under the almost threatening persuasion of the other four, he finally compromised: "Okay! Since you have decided to do this, I can agree, but I declare in advance that we only want money and not kill!"

They lowered their voices to discuss, but Song Chen still heard it clearly.

The status of martial artists in the middle stage of Tianjin Realm is actually very high in the Tiangan Continent. But whether they want to pursue a superior material life or practice Taoism wholeheartedly, they cannot do without a lot of wealth to support them.

These five people neither want to serve the Great Shun Empire nor join any sect. They just want to be unrestrained casual practitioners, so they have a strong desire to make money.

However, as the oldest martial artist said, the five of them have made a lot of money by running business with the Du family over the years. Although the Du family received one or two hundred thousand taels of gold each time, one-third of the profit was given to them.

The white-eyed wolf who has hard-to-satisfy desires and is unfamiliar with food probably refers to people like the man surnamed Lu.

Song Chen shook his head, probably because of Xuanyuan Tiansou and the Nine Emperors' Concubine Su Jin'er. What he hated most was people who stabbed people in the back and had no moral bottom line.

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way. Even if you don't want to work hard to make money and want to take advantage of others, thieves also have their ways. You can rob openly like Master Tiancan, or you can steal like a little thief. But these people, after eating the master's meal, pooped in the master's pot. This was not the end of the world. They also killed people and silenced them. This was outrageous.

…

"Third Master, I feel that Lu Peng and the others are a little unusual this time, so be careful!" Du Qi, a servant of the Du family, said.

Du Sanye sighed: "How can I not know what they are thinking? I originally wanted to coax them and stop after the trip returns smoothly. Unexpectedly, Lu Peng couldn't wait any longer. It seems that we are in trouble this time." Too bad!”

"Third Master, didn't you tell them that they can make a few more trips? Even if they have evil intentions, they won't attack us this time, right?"

Du Qi said in fear.

This is also understandable. In front of the five Heavenly Gold Kings, let alone a small shrimp in the Rock Realm, he is Du Sanye in the middle Earth Silver Realm, and he is also meat on the chopping board!

"It's no secret that the Du family has run out of bare-footed snakes. How can Lu Peng be so easily deceived?"

Du Sanye took out a large porcelain vase and handed it to Du Qi. "Du Qi, take this barefooted jackal and quickly find a place to hide it. If I can come back safely, you can come out and take us back. If something happens to me, you can go back quietly and tell the head of the family what happened. "

Regarding this matter, Song Chen could have just stood aside and snatched the bare-footed snake. At worst, Long'er would take a trip and send Du Sanye and Du Qi back to the Shun Empire. But what Lu Peng and others did aroused his indignation.

"Old man, I can help you."

While Song Chen was speaking, he took off his charming face mask.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Du Sanye and Du Qi were both shocked. In their opinion, this young man who suddenly appeared must be a helper invited by Lu Peng.

"It doesn't matter who I am, the key is that I have heard Lu Peng and others discussing and preparing to kill people and gain goods."

Song Chen smiled. "How about we make a deal? Later, if that man named Lu wants to kill you and seize the goods, I will stop you and send you back to the east coast. Of course, in return, you will give the remaining barefooted anemone to I."

"Why should we trust you?"

Du Qi looked wary, holding the big porcelain bottle and hiding behind Mr. Du.

"Du Qi, give the barefoot jackal to this strong man!" Mr. Du San said calmly.

"But……"

Du Qi wanted to say something else, but seeing Du Sanye's firm eyes, he finally handed the big porcelain vase to Song Chen.

"Let's do this. As long as I prove that what I say is true, you can sell the goods to me here at the same price as the City of Sands. If you want to go back to the east coast, I will send you there as well."

Song Chen's goal was to get the bare-footed anvil, and since he had successfully obtained it, he didn't mind being a Liangshan hero who "yells when he sees injustice on the road and takes action when it's time to take action."

The conditions offered by Song Chen made Master Du third overjoyed. Although his cultivation level was not high, he had a lot of experience in the world. He saw that Song Chen was a master in the Ning Yuan realm, and he only wanted to get the barefoot snake.

Although the red-footed snake is a secret treasure of the Du family, it is a disposable item. If it is placed in the swamp, there is no possibility of recovering it.

This time he went out to do business, and he had already prepared for the worst. The appearance of Song Chen gave him a glimmer of hope. At least, there were changes that would not let Lu Peng succeed easily.
