The carriage was moving smoothly, so Fang Xie's heart gradually calmed down. There were some goods in the carriage he was riding in, and he hid in the innermost part of the goods. He closed his eyes and forced himself to rest for a while, but the knife was within reach.
Since leaving Hongxiu Zhao early yesterday morning, he has been in crisis one after another.
It was also from yesterday that he had to make a deal with two people. The first person to trade with him was Luo Wen. Fang Xie exchanged a flash of ideas for a short period of preparation time. Then he killed Luo Wen's men, mixed with You Zuowei's men and left the martial arts arena.
Not long ago, he made another deal with this company called Huotong Tianxiahang. Use a total of one thousand four hundred and sixty taels of silver in exchange for entering the city safely.
Both of these transactions had to be done.
Fang Jie, who was leaning on the carriage, couldn't fall asleep and dared not sleep, because he couldn't believe that the fat man could really guarantee his safe entry into the imperial capital. The transaction with this money-linking world is a bit bizarre and sloppy, so Fang Jie, who seems to be resting, is only resting his body, not his mind.
The goods in the carriage are miscellaneous, but there are not many of them.
There is wine, tobacco, tea, and other trivial and strange things.
Fang Jie subconsciously stretched out his hand to open a jar of wine, but the outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. He sat cross-legged, leaning his back against the carriage, breathing slowly, as if he had fallen asleep. After walking like this for about an hour while shaking slightly, the voices of pedestrians outside the carriage became more and more noisy. Fang Xie knew that he was approaching the gate of Chang'an, so there were more pedestrians on the official road.
He opened his eyes and grabbed the handle of the horizontal knife.
Listen attentively.
"Wine shopkeeper, why are you dressed like this today?"
Someone greeted the fat man.
"Don't mention it, you'll get annoyed if you mention it. I bet with someone that I lost the top three ranking in the Yanwu Academy this year, and even lost my clothes. Bad luck... really bad luck."
There was a burst of laughter outside, and Fang Jie guessed that it should be the soldiers guarding the gate.
"Wine shopkeeper, let me tell you, who is the number one this year?"
"I want to know, wait for the court to announce."
"The wine shopkeeper is stingy, this is not like your character."
"Haha, it should be the young master of the Luo family who won. It is estimated that the court's announcement will come out tomorrow morning. What's the matter, you also bet money?"
"How can I compare with you, the wine shopkeeper? One month's salary is not enough for you to drink a cup of tea. I bet Mr. Luo five taels of silver, haha... It's just three for one, but it's a small profit."
"Congratulations, you have to treat me later."
The fat man known as the wine shopkeeper laughed and said a few words, and then the carriage started again. Fang Jie was slightly surprised. He wondered what the origin of this firm called Huotong Tianxia was. Why didn’t the ever-strict Chang’an city gate guards even investigate? Just chatting casually for a few words before letting go, it is obvious that the background of this firm is very deep.
At this moment, a name suddenly appeared in Fang Jie's mind.
Yes, it would be no surprise if it was him.
Fang Jie shook his head helplessly and smiled, Wu Yiyi, the richest man in the Sui Dynasty, donated hundreds of thousands of gold to repair the entire wall of Chang'an City, in exchange for the title of Marquis of Sanjin. He is the only one who has such a big face that the Chang'an defenders don't inspect the goods, and he is the only one who dares to put a flag embroidered with the words "Cargo to the World" on his carriage. If it were someone else, they would be laughed to death.
He even made a deal with Wu, buying his own life with 1460 taels of silver.
Fang Jie thought it was a bit funny, and wondered if this meant that his life was marked with a price by Wuji Trading Company, which dared to claim to be the world's best seller? If anyone wants to buy his head in the future, he can go to Wuji Trading Company and look through the catalog of goods, and he can see clearly at a glance, one thousand four hundred and sixty taels, no deception.
The point is, the price is still set by him.
After the carriage entered Chang'an City, the sounds outside became more lively and noisy. Chang'an City is full of prosperity, and every street is full of excitement. The cries of merchants and shopkeepers, the sound of tourists bargaining, the sound of orderly steps of soldiers patrolling the city as they passed by the carriage, and the clang of their armor as they walked.
Can't see the outside, completely rely on hearing to perceive and identify the world.
This feeling is amazing.
Just when Fang Jie was listening to the commotion outside with all his attention, his lower abdomen started to hurt without warning. This kind of pain is so fierce that it is like a flood, and Fang Jie's body can't help but hunched in an instant. The huge pain made it difficult for him to keep calm. The drill pierced through, and the muscles and internal organs were twisted together in pain.
Such intense pain made it difficult for a person like Fang Jie with a firm mind and perseverance far beyond ordinary people to resist.
He only lasted for more than ten seconds before passing out from the pain.
Just as he fell limply, the carriage stopped. Someone lifted the curtain of the carriage and poked his head in and said, "Get out of the carriage quickly, do you still want to hang on?"
"Huh? Play dead?"
The speaker was stunned for a moment, then got into the car and opened Fang Jie's eyelids to have a look.
Wu Yidao, who got off the carriage, originally planned to go back to the mansion directly, but he didn't know why he suddenly wanted to take a closer look at the young man who spent money to enter the city, so he asked his servants to lead his precious daughter Wu Yinyu in first, and then walked slowly to Fang Jie. This side of the carriage. After waiting for a while but no one came down, he frowned slightly and looked inside.
I saw the fat man squatting beside Fang Jie, with a look of astonishment and even a little fear. Wu Yidao understands wine, sex and money, very well. What could make someone like Fatty, who had few things to scare him, a little scared? So Wu Yidao was very curious.
"What's up?"
he asks.
The fat man turned his head and glanced at Wu Yidao, the meaning in his eyes was complicated and unclear. The expression on his face was the same, complicated and indescribable.
"This boy... is too weird."
…
…
How much money Wu Yidao has, I'm afraid no one will know except himself. Needless to say, Wu Ji Trading Co., Ltd. can carry out business in the world, but his property in the imperial capital is enough to make everyone jealous. Chang'an, which is a hundred miles away, is awe-inspiring for its size, but it is also intimidating for its expensive land.
In the imperial capital where every inch of land is expensive, Wu Yidao owns an entire street.
So when the name Wu Yidao is mentioned, people will naturally think of the street behind the name. So some people began to preach how important it is to have a good name. When Wu Yidao's father gave him this name, he never imagined that his son would really own a street in the future.
Because he is called a street, he has a street. The street of the imperial capital was mentioned too frequently, but people ignored Wu Yidao's wealth that was said to be able to buy a whole country in the Sui Dynasty. What is a street, that is the real meaning of a street.
Ever since, the naming of children born in recent years has also made people more and more speechless. Those who call it a town have it, those who call it a city have it, and those who call it a county also have it. On the way to the imperial capital, Fangjie met a young woman holding a baby and breastfeeding her. He saw that the baby was cute and asked if she had a name. Yiguo is worried about the baby's father, but he just can't think of a good name.
In the spirit of helping others, Fang Jie said without even thinking about it, just call the kid a ball, absolutely domineering. He meant to call it a ball, and this planet belongs to this child.
The young woman's answer is: Get out!
It was only later that Fang Jie figured out that it was really unlucky for a man to call a ball. You see, every village has a bastard, and there is absolutely no one.
Such a rich man, but the place where Wu Yidao lives now is not very big.
About half an hour's walk from where he lives now, there is a house covering an area of more than 30 mu, which was his former residence. At that time, he was just a businessman through and through, so he dared to live in a larger one. No one said anything because he could afford it. But not anymore, he has a title on him.
With a title, you can't be too ostentatious.
Especially in the imperial capital, it is impossible to say that whoever has nothing to do one day will submit a memorial to participate in his transgressive etiquette. For this kind of thing, as long as you are willing to frame it, you will be able to find some so-called evidence. If the court wants to investigate, even if the gap is a finger wider, it can be said that you made it wider than the palace gate on purpose! Of course, the emperor would definitely not really take him down, but this matter is disgusting after all.
When Wu Yidao has nothing to do, he likes to sit and read books in a bamboo forest that he specially transplanted. Especially in summer, the bamboo forest is very cool.
Put a reclining chair, put a pot of fragrant tea on the tea table, a few exquisite and small things, lie on the chair to read a book and drink tea, and listen to the wind in the bamboo forest, it is definitely an elegant thing. Wu Yidao has now passed the time of blindly pursuing elegance to cover up his humble status as a businessman. Compared with most businessmen, he is really elegant, not pretending.
He is greedy for money, but in his eyes, greed for money is by no means a vulgar thing, but a duty.
The fat man who changed his clothes stood respectfully beside Wu Yidao, filling his teacup lightly. Wu Yidao picked up the tea and took a sip, put down the book in his hand and asked, "Have the arrangements been made?"
"Okay."
The fat man replied: "Miss has already arranged to live in the small courtyard on the west side. I thought that she would not like it if I changed to this house. After all, the courtyard of the old house is spacious and next to the garden. There are many strange stones, flowers and plants, and a lotus pond. But I didn't expect that the lady liked this place very much. She said that the yard is small, but the popularity has increased. The subordinates are stupid, and I really don't understand what the lady means by popularity. "
"If you don't understand, then you don't understand, as long as she lives comfortably."
Wu Yiyi smiled, and suddenly understood that what his daughter wanted was very simple. It turned out that although the mansion was spacious and beautiful, it was too deserted. I used to travel around all the year round, and there was only the little girl Du Juan around her who could talk... Thinking about it, it's no wonder that I like the place I live now. Although it is small, it seems much more lively.
"Where's that boy?"
"In the guest room, still asleep."
"Have you invited the doctor?"
"Please, but the doctor can't see what the problem is. What can be seen is that his right arm is broken and the bandage is very rough. It should be tied by the boy himself."
"My arm is broken, but I still have the mind to bargain with you. It's interesting."
Wu Yiyi smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
The fat man's face changed slightly, and he was silent for a while, speculating uncertainly: "The whole body is as hard as a rock. I really doubt that his whole body will be shattered with a hammer. The subordinate pinched his veins, and the strange thing is There are 128 air pockets in his whole body, but only three of them are opened. It's too weird. If it wasn't for this, the subordinates can almost be sure that he passed out because he couldn't bear the pain of the sea of air getting bigger after the promotion of cultivation. of."
"But... his sea of qi doesn't exist at all. According to reason, a person without a sea of qi is a useless person even if he is alive. If he walks, he may not be able to turn over without help from others. But this boy's reaction and skill are good, Even after the pain passed out, the knife in his left hand was still tightly gripped, and he couldn’t even break it. His broken right hand had a knife callus, and I could tell from his eyes that he had killed many people. When we were on the side of the road, his eyes kept looking at my throat. The subordinates checked it carefully just now, and he is as strong as a cheetah."
The fat man smiled wryly and shook his head: "It's the first time I've seen such a strange physique in so many years."
"Not surprisingly."
Holding the teacup, Wu Yidao turned his head to look in the direction of the guest room and said in a flat tone, "At least, there is such a person with such a special physique among the people I know."
"who?"
"Luo Yao."
"But my subordinates have never believed that Luo Yao really can't practice."
The fat man couldn't help expressing his own opinion: "A person who cannot cultivate can never rely on physical training to achieve his strength. It is absolutely impossible. Without strength training, no matter how strong the body is, it will still be just the body."
"There is nothing impossible in this world. Luo Yao really can't cultivate... Few people in the entire Sui Dynasty know that his sea of energy was shattered by someone 30 years ago."
"ah?!"
Fatty's face changed drastically, and his expression was full of disbelief: "The sea of qi was shattered, and he didn't die?"
Wu Yidao put down his teacup and got up, and walked towards the guest room with his hands behind his back: "You just met a man who didn't die in the air today, what's so strange about Luo Yao's immortality? Let's go... go and see the treasure you picked up , How surprised it can surprise me."
