Chapter 57 Shadow, Highway Robbery
"What kind of sword does Young Master Lu want?"
Lu Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Master Ma, I wonder how much it would cost to buy a sword?"
"That's hard to say." Ma Gu said with some difficulty.
"An ordinary sword can probably be bought for a few taels of silver, but a better sword might cost more than ten or even dozens of taels of silver."
"As for other requirements, such as special swords mixed with special metals, I'm afraid it will cost more than a hundred taels of silver."
"There are also those who like luxury and like to inlay jewels and jade on the handle and scabbard of their swords. The price is even more difficult to estimate. Some swords can cost thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver."
When Lu Qing heard this, he immediately said, "I don't need any luxury accessories. Master Ma, please buy me a hundred-refined sword. It should be simple and plain in style, but as long as it is tough and sharp, there is no need to ask for too much."
"As for the price, as long as it's within fifty taels of silver, I can accept it."
After that, Lu Qing took out a silver ingot from his arms and said, "Here are ten taels of silver. Just treat it as my advance deposit."
Master Ma looked at the snow-white silver ingot and thought that the old doctor really doted on Lu Qing, as he casually gave him so much silver.
Even when he was young, his food and clothing were all supported by his clan, and it was difficult for him to have even ten taels of silver on him.
But he changed his mind and felt it was natural.
With Lu Qing's talent in martial arts, no matter which big family he was in, he would definitely be fully trained.
It would be abnormal for the old doctor not to pay attention to such an outstanding disciple.
"Fifty taels of silver can buy a very good Hundred Refined Battle Sword. Don't worry, I will carefully select it for you. You can come to me to pick it up on the next big market day."
Ma Gu did not refuse and took the silver.
"Thank you very much, Master Ma." Lu Qing said solemnly.
Although he knew that Magu helped him in this way for other reasons.
But he was also taking advantage of the other person.
Nowadays, who would help others for no reason?
On the contrary, people with great kindness like Master are truly rare and hard to come by.
"Mr. Lu, it's a rare occasion for you to come to the market, why don't you come to my place for a small gathering, so that I can fulfill my duty as a host?"
After receiving the silver, seeing that the two men were talking harmoniously, Ma Gu took the opportunity to invite them.
"Well..." Lu Qing hesitated for a moment, "I really want to get close to Master Ma, but doesn't Master Ma need to entertain the nobleman just now? I think his status seems to be very noble."
Damn it!
After being reminded by Lu Qing, Ma Gu remembered that he had a little ancestor in his house.
Besides, he has been out for so long, and he doesn't know what that person's request is.
It would be troublesome if I got angry because I couldn't find him.
Thinking of this, Ma Gu didn't bother to invite Lu Qing anymore.
I can only say: "Then let's do it next time. When Mr. Lu comes to get the knife next time, you must have a few drinks with me."
"As long as Master Ma doesn't mind, I will naturally obey your orders."
"It's settled then!"
Seeing that Lu Qing agreed, Ma Gu was delighted. He immediately called one of his men, gave him a few instructions, and then hurried back to the house.
Seeing that Ma Gu, a powerful warrior in the Muscle and Bone Realm, was so afraid of the young man in gorgeous clothes, Lu Qing couldn't help but shook his head.
It seems that the identity and background of this noble man in this city is really astonishing.
Seeing that Ma Gu had left and having settled the matter of the sword, Lu Qing was in a very good mood and continued to stroll around the market.
It didn't take long for him to buy everything he needed.
Not only was the bamboo basket behind him filled to the brim, but both of his hands also held a lot of things.
After buying things, Lu Qing didn't plan to stay any longer. He carried his things and prepared to leave the market.
But before leaving, he saw that Ma Ye's men were asking some villagers who were selling chickens, ducks and pork to pack up their things.
Considering the behavior of the young man in fancy clothes before, it was obvious that Magu was also afraid that these villagers would cause the noble young man to dislike him again.
Shaking his head, and once again realizing the class gap between the nobles in the city and the villagers in the countryside outside, Lu Qing slowly walked out.
Just after Lu Qing left, two people suddenly walked out of the market.
Looking at the direction Lu Qing left, his eyes were filled with confusion.
"Seventh Brother, did you see that boy just now? Does he look familiar to you?" asked one of the men with gloomy brows.
"I think so too. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."
Another man with a big black mole on his face also looked a little strange.
"Look at him. Does he look a bit like Lu Ming's son?"
The man with gloomy eyebrows reminded.
"Lu Ming?" The man with the black mole was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized, "Similar, very similar, but that little bastard was quite skinny before, but now he seems to be stronger."
"Is it because we have enough to eat and drink?" The man with gloomy eyebrows sneered, "The old guys in Jiuli Village said that the Lu family's land has been sold and there is no money to compensate us. Now it seems that we have been deceived."
"Those old guys must have withheld a lot of money and deliberately refused to pay off Lu Ming's debt."
"Fifth brother, are you saying that the villagers in Jiuli Village cheated us?" The man with the black mole glared.
"Of course, where else do you think this little bastard got the money to buy so many things at this fair?"
"Are those old guys in Jiuli Village tired of living? They even dare to deceive us?" The man with the black mole suddenly felt a surge of anger. "I'm going to catch that little bastard right now!"
After saying that, he was about to head in the direction where Lu Qing left.
"Don't be impatient." The man with gloomy eyes stopped him, "What's the point of just catching this kid? If we want to do something, we should make it bigger, otherwise others will think that they don't have to pay the price for deceiving us. How can we survive in this area in the future?"
"Fifth brother, what do you mean?" The man with the mole's eyes lit up.
"Let's go back first. There are too many people here, and this is Magu's territory. It's not appropriate to talk too much."
The two of them glanced at Daji, and a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.
Ma Gu in this Daji is not an ordinary person. Even their boss said that if you can avoid provoking him, try not to provoke him.
Otherwise, if he really gets angry, even the boss may not be able to stop him.
You know, the boss is a high-ranking warrior.
If even he is so wary, then Magu is definitely not someone they can offend.
The two left the market in a hurry.
On the other hand, Lu Qing didn't know that he was being secretly targeted.
At this moment, he was being stopped by another group of people.
"You just said you wanted to rob me?"
I don't feel well today. I have a headache and feel a little chilly. I don't know if I have a cold or what. I still have one chapter to finish and I don't know if I can finish it. If I can't finish it, I can only update it tomorrow morning. Please don't wait.
