Chapter 123 Layout
The New Year's Eve is approaching, and the prosperous Tianwu Imperial City in the past is a bit depressed.Pedestrians on the street are in twos and threes, hurrying.The vendors on the roadside and the bosses in the shops were frowning.
In border wars, it is not uncommon to mobilize troops and increase taxes a little.Even if it has influence, it will never implicate the imperial city.
This is at the feet of the emperor, there are countless high-ranking officials and dignitaries, even if you are just a low-level citizen, as long as you work hard and have enough food and clothing, it is not a problem.It's okay to buy two pieces of clothes and occasionally drink two sips of flower wine.What's more, it's almost New Year's Eve!Even the emperor would put down things for a while, and have a feast with the people, but he never thought that the price of goods today is much more expensive than in previous years. In principle, the price starts from the ground, and occasionally low-priced sales will be sold out.As a result, all kinds of materials were extremely scarce, and there was not much difference between the several cities that guarded the imperial city.
In a five-story gymnasium, an old man over half a century old silently packed his bags, handed over the land deed and the key to the shop to a young man, and finally took a deep look at the place he had worked so hard for for several years, then turned and left.
The young man slowly stepped up to the top floor step by step, looking into the distance, he saw a group of magnificent palaces, which was also the main reason why he chose this shop, the residence of the emperor Wu Xiong could be reached by crossing two streets, At this moment, he was so close to his enemy, yet so far away.The majestic palace walls and the majestic guards all showed the strength of the enemy.
This young man is Qin Fei. After he arranged many things, he brought Ziyi, Tantaiqian, and Xiaomeng Jialan Nord to the imperial city first.As for Chen Lan and Ji Lin, they had more important things to do.Of course, the help of the Chen family is indispensable for the smooth acquisition of such a shop. Prices are rising, employees need to raise wages, the store has no income, the whole family needs to eat and drink, and Qin Fei’s high quotations are all five-pronged. Only then did the old man reluctantly transfer the business that had been losing money in the past two years to him.
However, when the old man first started his business, he also made a lot of money, and now he dumped this mess to Qin Fei and made a lot of money by the way.You must know that the power of the old man's family is not great. To be able to get a piece of the pie in this highly competitive environment, a Martial King in the Quanzhan clan sits in charge, otherwise he would have been eaten alive by others.
There are no star coaches in Wuhuangjing, and the gold medal coach in Wuwangjing is only one of the old people. There are a few senior coaches in Wuzongjing, but they all leave with the old man.It can be said that apart from a few martial artists and warriors who had nowhere to go, and some other staff members, Qin Fei was left with complete fitness equipment and a large number of members whose cards had not yet expired.
Qin Fei didn't care about this, and thought about recruiting some staff tomorrow, with a little training, to get the gym up and running first.
……
In the inner house of the Chen family in Zhenshan County, Chen Lan, who was dressed solemnly, was kneeling three times and knocking nine times in the ancestral hall.The Great Elder Chen Xianzhu on the side, with neither sad nor happy face, was holding a dark wooden tray with both hands, on which was placed a seal that belonged exclusively to the Patriarch of the Chen family.
Outside the ancestral hall, elders with different expressions, powerful figures in the family, and geniuses of the younger generation all attended the scene. They watched Chen Lan finish the ceremony and took the seal of the patriarch with both hands.
"How many years have passed since the last head of the family died suddenly, and I have collected this seal and now it can be returned to the original owner." After handing over the handover, Chen Xianzhu showed a hint of relief in his expression, as if he had finally seen his daughter grow up. Same.
"Thanks to the presence of the Great Elder all these years, we can keep our Chen family prosperous." Chen Lan stood up and responded slightly to Chen Xianzhu, but she didn't feel much gratitude in her heart.The previous head of the family died suddenly in the early years. She has been walking on thin ice these years. I don’t know how many people have tried to make her disappear. Even the position of the head of the family was obtained through a transaction between Qin Fei and the Great Elder. The price was 30.00% of the Qin family's commercial income and the Chen family's, just for this legitimate title. As for who will get these benefits in the end It's not easy to say about the waist bag.
……
Outside the city, in a hidden valley, Ji Lin was worrying about a group of teenage girls in front of her.
This is the task Qin Fei entrusted to her, to train these sallow, skinny and ignorant children into dead soldiers.
People are orphans with a clean background, and they can survive alone at a young age, and their temperament is not bad.All the training equipment, food, water, etc., have already been brought in secretly. Martial arts and skills are also top-grade. As long as she asks, Chen Lan can get more resources, but how to teach...
In the evening, Ji Lin thought of her tragic experience, and the engraved hatred will never be forgotten.The cold eyes were no longer mixed with the slightest emotion. He waved and threw the prepared daggers, short swords and other weapons into the crowd, saying: "Kill one person, and we will have food today."
Panic, helplessness, overwhelmed, all kinds of emotions spread among the children.
A moment later, a little girl bravely picked up the dagger on the ground and stabbed it into another person's arms. Blood splashed on the little girl's face.
"I have food to eat, I have food to eat." The little girl shouted excitedly, waving the dagger in her hand indiscriminately.
Fear arose, some people picked up weapons, some people trembled and stood still, some people cried helplessly, some people screamed and fled.
Ji Lin smiled, this was the first time she had laughed in such a long time, but this smile was bloodthirsty and cruel.
At night, the rice fragrance overflows in the valley.
The children who got the food were elated, and the children who were hiding around instinctively swallowed their saliva, and their eyes began to linger on the weapons scattered on the ground. The dried blood on them seemed to be silently telling what to do to have food.
The killing continued. Someone had just picked up the delicious rice, and before he took a bite, he was stabbed to death, and then the bowl of blood-stained white rice was stuffed into the current owner's mouth.
As if feeling that this was not enough, Ji Lin shook the empty bottom of the pot, wanting everyone to see clearly, to let everyone understand that if they want to eat now, they can only grab it, grab what they have .
More people took up arms and looked for targets.
The children holding white rice, some wolfed it down desperately, some threw it out in a hurry, some picked up a weapon in one hand, and stuffed it into their mouths with a bowl in the other.Only a few never put down the weapons in their hands, took the rice and avoided the crowd far away, licking it in small mouthfuls, while looking at everyone vigilantly.
Only these few are the most valued by Ji Lin, and of course there are a few murderous ones, just a bowl of rice can't satisfy their pursuit.
