All the big men blocking the way had finger-thick gold and gemstone chains around their necks and leather skirts around their waists. Even standing among a large number of merchants of various ethnic groups in strange costumes, they were still very eye-catching.

With such attire and attire, they are obviously merchants from the Nu barbarians in the northwest. They have only recently started to do business in Beiguan City, and they mainly sell leather goods. It is their custom to wear all their wealth on their bodies, so as long as they have a little money, they will buy gold, silver and jewelry to wear all over their bodies. This kind of attire is very attractive to thieves. Fortunately, most of them are strong and brave, and they like to act in groups, so the thieves dare not attack them when they are idle.

Then again, in Beiguan City, only these "newcomers" would not be afraid to run into Miss Bai's muzzle.

Although the sun has set, there are still many people inside and outside the dental shop. They blocked the door and made a fuss. People in the dental shop could not get out, and people outside the dental shop could not enter. It was rare that someone dared to make trouble in the den of the No. 1 local snake in Beiguan City. Everyone had the mentality of watching the excitement, and widened their eyes to see what would happen to these few murderous people.

Bai Shanglu wanted to go forward to drive these savages away, but he saw Bai Guo, the big maid next to Bai Fuling, winked at him, clearly signaling him not to come out in a hurry.

Bai Shanglu knew that the nineteenth Miss Bai had a malignant attack and wanted to tease people. This is the place of the Bai family anyway, and the lady is surrounded by thugs. If something happens, she will definitely not be the one who suffers, so he just stood by and watched with peace of mind. up.

Bai Fuling looked at the big man up and down in the hall, and said: "How much you are worth depends on where you sell it. If you want to sell yourself to my Bai family, you are worth one hundred and twenty taels of silver."

Nowadays, an ordinary family of five spends about two taels of silver on food and clothing a month. Because of the many disasters this year and refugees everywhere, ten taels of silver in Qi State can buy a healthy young man as a slave. One hundred and twenty taels is really an exciting price.

The big man didn't expect that Bai Fuling would give him such a high "evaluation". In the Numan tribe, one hundred and twenty taels of silver could buy at least thirty young slaves. With the wealth of this big man, it is of course impossible to sell himself, but he was also "complimented" by Bai Fuling and he grinned loudly.

"You have three gold and gemstone necklaces around your neck, two pairs of earrings, and a leather belt inlaid with gold beads on your waist. The gold is of average quality and the price is only eighty taels. The leather skirt and pants on your body are of good quality, but they must be depreciated if you take them to a pawnshop. , the price is two taels at most, the knife in your hand, the gems inlaid on the scabbard plus the value of the knife itself can barely be priced at thirty-eight taels, a total of one hundred and twenty taels." Bai Fuling offered it at the pawnshop. With a cold tone, he counted the big man's entire net worth.

The big man was stunned for a moment, and seeing the people on the front, back, left, and left were whispering to each other first, and then bursting into laughter, he turned his head and looked behind him in a daze, then grabbed his companions and asked, "What are they laughing at?"

The companion also didn't understand, and shook his head at him.

Bai Guo, the maidservant behind Bai Fuling, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "What my lady means is that the things you have on you are worth a little money, you man, you are not worth a penny!"

The big man was humiliated in public, he pulled out his saber in a rage, yelled fiercely, and was about to attack Bai Fuling.

How could Bai Fuling be hurt by him, she didn't even blink her eyes, Bai Shisan and other guards behind her had already jumped up and raised the wooden sticks attached to their waists to beat the Nu barbarian men.

The moves of the few of them are simple but very efficient. They are all aimed at the joints, and the precise angles of the attacks are all effective with one blow. After a dozen scalp-numbing clicks, the eight Numan men have all fallen. Judging from the unnatural bending angles of their hands and feet, it is likely that the joints hit were either broken or cracked.

Bai Shisan and the others skillfully separated out four people, and quickly dragged the remnants of the defeated soldiers out and disposed them at a nearby street corner. Return to the original state, as if nothing happened.

There was no trace of blood on the ground, but when those who witnessed the violent scene looked at Bai Fuling again, they couldn't help showing fear in their eyes.

As beautiful as a fairy, as cruel as a Rakshasa!

Bai Fuling glanced at everyone in the hall, and sighed helplessly: "Hey, those who fight and kill are the most annoying!"

Bai Shanglu felt that his temples were starting to ache, he smiled wryly and whispered to Bai Fuling: "You are right to come to the dentist less often, if you come a few more times, I'm afraid no one will dare to come to the door."

"Those guys are not here to do business at all! You send someone smart to watch those two people, and then send someone to inform my elder brother's subordinates that spies have come to the door." Bai Fuling pointed to the crowd outside the door without any trace. The two tall men who turned around and planned to leave said softly.

Bai Shanglu's expression froze, and he quickly called two smart and martial men to do so, and then sent Bai Fuling out all the way. This time, when people saw her, they all moved away from her, and they didn't dare to come up to block the way.

"How do you know that those two people are spies? You deliberately asked Bai Shisan and the others to deal with those Numan tribe just now?" Bai Shanglu asked in a low voice as he walked.

Bai Fuling smiled slyly, and said: "When those Numan tribesmen stopped me just now, I found that their leaders often looked back unconsciously, especially when he felt that he was very powerful or encountered doubts. When things were resolved, I knew that someone else was instigating them, and they were right behind them."

"I watched carefully for a while, and found that behind them, there were two people with weird expressions, their eyes were obviously different from those of other spectators, um... very calm, although they were booing, but there was no spectator like ordinary people in their eyes Excited. Moreover, they folded their hands in front of their chests and deliberately hid them in their sleeves. Now that the weather is so hot, I can't wait to roll up my sleeves. With their hands tucked up like this, it must be because there is something else in the sleeves, and there are hidden weapons in their hands. Or is there something like a dagger in the sleeve? Generally, spies and murderers dare not openly hang their swords on their waists. The sleeves and boots are the most common place to hide weapons. They don’t necessarily plan to attack anyone, but it’s just a habitual action— When you go out on a mission, put your hands in front of your chest and feel a sharp weapon for self-defense, and you will feel more at ease." There have been many such people in the Bai family before, and Bai Fuling can recognize them at a glance.

Bai Shanglu was sincerely convinced, his young lady's ability to observe people in a subtle way, he has been used to it over the years.

While talking, the two walked to Bai Fuling's carriage, and Bai Fuling said: "The ultimate goal of those people is probably not our Bai family's business name, but probably the eldest brother."
