Chapter 294 Jiuguo likes Tianbao's head very much
Walking out of the alley and onto the main street, you will see a bustling scene.
The pedestrians coming and going on the street were dressed not much differently from the people of Dai Viet, mostly wearing coarse linen clothes, but the various buildings and food on the street were obviously different.
All the shops along the street are made of bamboo, with copper bells hanging under the eaves and by the doors.
The things displayed and sold on the street stalls are also strange and bizarre. There are many fish bone ornaments, and even women's hairpins often have koi fish carved on the top.
This exotic feeling makes people feel particularly fresh.
"The stall over there sells freshly fried fish cakes. Would you like to try some?" Bai Yu asked, pointing to a snack stall on the corner of the street.
The two of them strolled among the passers-by, and their changed faces did not attract any attention.
Tian Bao glanced at the stall and could already smell the aroma of fried fish cakes. "How do you know they're selling fish cakes there?"
The boy pointed at the small sign next to the stall that had been accidentally kicked askew by a passerby and suppressed a laugh, "It's written on that upright sign."
Tianbao, “…”
After frying the fish cake, you can skewer it with bamboo sticks and eat it while walking.
At this moment, another part of the street was crowded with people, applauding and cheering.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, folk artists from all over the surrounding areas come to the temple fair in Cangwu City. Before the temple fair begins, they will perform in the streets and alleys to earn some money.
Tian Bao and Bai Yu ate fish cakes and slowly approached. Before they could squeeze into the crowd, they heard a very familiar voice coming from inside, "Wow! Breaking stones with your chest! Incredible! I can do that too! Come on! Uncles, brothers, I'll join in the fun! If the performance is good, please donate money!"
Tianbao, Bai Yu, "..."
It seems that there is more than one reckless person in their Su family.
Su Wu bowed to the spectators in the circle in a formal manner, then took off his shirt, walked over to the straw mat beside him and lay down. With a little internal energy, his muscular body immediately showed a strong outline, "Get on the big rock!"
The audience burst into laughter.
The heavy stone slab pressed down on him, but the young man remained calm and smiled, not worrying at all about being beaten to death by the big hammer. "Go ahead and smash it! We are all from the underworld, and I trust the skills of my uncles! Come on!"
He was not afraid, but made the strong man who was holding a hammer and smashing stones twitch his mouth, which made him laugh and admire him.
"Okay, we who travel the world like this kind of decisiveness from young brothers! Ladies and gentlemen, watch carefully!" The strong man shouted and smashed the hammer down.
With a loud bang, the big rock shattered.
The young man climbed up unscathed, brushing off the debris on his chest with a grin. "It's not easy to travel the world performing! If you think my performance is okay, please give me a look!"
As soon as he finished speaking, laughter and the clinking of copper coins hitting wooden boxes merged into one.
There were also two casual conversations in between, "Write this down and report it to Grandpa and Grandma when you get back."
"We must not forget this kind of generosity, and we must ask our grandparents to appreciate it together."
"Would you like to see a reward?"
"It's not right for my brother to make his debut in the martial arts world without some reward. I'll give him a few copper coins and let him perform for the reward later."
Tianbao left the crowd silently with a dull face, refusing to get involved with you.
Bai Yu suppressed his laughter and followed, then raised his hand lightly, and half an ingot of silver fell accurately into the artist's wooden box, in return for which the person who asked for the reward excitedly thanked him.
A man with a bird's nest hair came forward and nimbly moved through the crowd. When he passed by the boy and girl, he reached out and snatched the uneaten fish cake from the girl's hand, then disappeared at the end of the street in a flash.
Behind, the guards fell a long way behind and continued to chase, panting.
Bai Yu couldn't help herself, holding her belly with both hands, her neck flushed. "The city is really... bustling today, hahaha!"
Tianbao, “…”
After walking two blocks and trying all kinds of food they had never eaten before, they arrived at the restaurant on the corner of Qianmo Street, their stomachs were already full.
He walked up to the innermost private room on the third floor, which was a familiar path. He opened the door and saw two people already sitting inside.
There was a noble master in a moon robe and a bearded guard. However, compared to the master who was smiling, the guard's face was not so good and he seemed indignant.
"Now that you're here, can you still drink some tea?" The master raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Bai Yu pretended not to understand the teasing, walked in and sat down, grinning playfully, "Godfather, have you gotten the news?"
"Hmm." Bai Xiaofeng didn't elaborate on the news he had received. He took a teacup and poured himself a cup of tea, sipping it slowly. "Our whereabouts were exposed as soon as we entered the city. Someone will come looking for us soon. We should all be careful these few days."
The bearded man's face darkened even further. "I don't know if the Emperor of Longyuan is so stupid or stupid. He issued another decree a month ago, demanding a large sum of money to sell our heads. My head is now worth a thousand pieces of gold. Damn it!"
For the first time in his life, he discovered that he was so valuable!
Tian Bao's eyes widened, "Then my head must be worth two thousand gold!"
The three of them looked at her speechlessly. This is not something to be proud of, baby.
Bai Xiaofeng raised his lips and waved his folding fan, "My girl, don't underestimate yourself. Your head is worth a million dollars."
"Is the Emperor of Longyuan Kingdom so rich?"
"Not only Dragon Yuan, but eight other countries have also made bids, all of which are worth 10,000 taels of gold. In other words, if we capture you, we can get 90,000 gold, and we'll become rich instantly."
Jiuguo likes Tianbao’s head very much.
Tianbao, “…”
This is not how money is spent.
Since they have prepared the money, she would be ungrateful to them if she didn't take it.
She tilted her head and asked, "How much is your head, Godfather?"
"...One thousand five pieces of gold."
"Where's Grandpa Du?"
"Two thousand gold."
The bearded man rolled his eyes and started counting to save the girl from asking questions one by one, which would make him upset every time he heard them. "Bai Xiaoban has 500 taels of silver, Su An, Su Wen, and Su Wu have 100 taels of silver each. These four can be ignored. No one is willing to die for a few hundred taels of silver, but if it's a thousand or ten thousand taels of gold, there will be many people willing to take the risk."
Bai Yu, who was ignored, gnashed his teeth and slammed his hand on the table, "Those people really have no taste! My young master Bai is only worth a mere five hundred taels? Whoever set the price, I will force a thousand taels into his mouth!"
The bearded man finally met someone he understood. He patted the boy on the shoulder and cursed him harshly with a classic Three Character Classic.
Ever since I knew my price, I couldn't get rid of the feeling of being insulted. Is he so worthless?
Not only was his bearded man's price lower than Bai Xiaofeng's, but that old fellow Du Bupin was even more expensive than both of them.
Are the emperors of various countries’ brains filled with shit?
When it comes to martial arts, the old man is the worst! Not only is he weak, but he also has a sharp tongue and loves to play. Now he's still walking his dog on the street and hasn't come back yet!
There are many tea drinkers in the restaurant, and the noise is loud. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching and the temple fair is about to begin, and the city is bustling everywhere.
Only in a private room on the third floor could the hustle and bustle not invade.
The room is full of resentment.
