Chapter 47
Chapter 47
You Wuming glared at the Little Golden Sparrow on his shoulder.
It had a furry, round head. There was a tuft of hair on its head, but because it was flying in a hurry, it was blown into two halves by the wind, as if it was combed in the middle.
Its feathers were a strange gold, and under the light of the West River's lantern, it shone with a dazzling golden light. It looked left and right, and suddenly squatted down, its long tail feathers sticking up …
You Wuming's pupils shrank, and he raised his hand, wanting to slap it away.
Sang Yuanyuan reacted quickly, and caught the Little Golden Sparrow in her hand.
Its soft fur felt good to the touch.
She said, "It wants to spread its tail feathers, not poop!"
You Wuming was speechless. How did she know what it wanted to do, and what he was thinking?
Seeing that the Little Golden Sparrow had chosen the 'customer', the luxurious pleasure boat quickly drifted down the river, and stopped at the bank closest to You Wuming.
The fair-skinned Clam Fairy had already sat up and stretched lazily. She leaned against the inside of the colorful clam shell and raised one of her arms up high, as if she was about to touch the top of the clam shell. Her other hand slowly slid down her shoulder. Her scallion like fingertips drew an exquisite arc and landed on her ankle.
She lowered her head, and her seductive eyes drifted out from between her shoulders, and swayed towards You Wuming.
"Oh, oh!" The crowd on the bank exclaimed in excitement and regret.
"Look at our Little Golden Sparrow!"
The madam in colorful clothes beside the clam shell shouted in surprise, "What a handsome man you have chosen for the Clam Fairy!
Could this be the fate of the heavens?!
My good husband, you have to be merciful, don't make our Clam Fairy abandon everything and elope. This boat of people depends on her to survive! "
Since ancient times, there were many prostitutes who used the name of 'true love' to deceive men into losing their family fortune. This woman in Cai Yi was obviously well versed in this field. She immediately beautified the 'business' with a price tag to 'fate'.
Before entering the city, You Wuming and Sang Yuanyuan had already disguised themselves.
Because he was going to visit this bustling Flowing Gold Land, he didn't deliberately disguise himself as ugly. He only changed his facial features slightly so that he would stand out among the crowd.
The Clam Fairy's beautiful eyes flashed. She saw You Wuming's tall figure, handsome appearance, and outstanding temperament. He was indeed as outstanding as she saw him from afar. She couldn't help but be secretly delighted.
She had raised this golden sparrow for many years, and it had long since become one with her.
She swept her gaze across the crowd, and the sparrow would land on that person's shoulder as she wished.
She was already looking for a way out for herself.
Now it seemed that the flowers were blooming and the fire was burning, but in fact, wasn't their fate in the hands of the procuress?
He didn't even need to do anything. As long as he deliberately arranged a few disgusting benefactors for her, it would be enough for her to drink a pot of wine.
When she first entered this industry, she was blinded by gold and silver. Now that she had earned enough money, she was looking forward to a rich, handsome, and powerful husband to take her out of the sea of bitterness.
She twisted her soft waist and stood up while caressing the clam shell. She exclaimed in a low voice, "This Langjun, have I seen you in my dreams before?
Why is your face so familiar?! "
As soon as she said this, the crowd on the shore became even louder.
It was a famous scene. The shore was filled with a boiling cauldron of voices, and it was crazy.
"You Wuming." Sang Yuanyuan glanced at You Wuming and handed the little golden sparrow in her hand to him. "Dream lover!
A thousand miles of marriage is linked by a single thread!
Go, take a look at what a soul-stealing demon looks like! "
She tilted her head and glanced at the Clam Fairy.
The woman put on a pitiful look, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. It was as if she wanted to beg You Wuming to take her out of the sea of bitterness, but she didn't dare to speak because of the evil wolves around her.
She only used her weak eyes to express the meaning of 'I don't want your gold, I only want your body'.
After all, in the original work, she was the woman who charmed Han Shaoling to the point that he couldn't tell the difference between morning and night. Naturally, her face was extremely beautiful.
Her own qualities were enough to confuse the king.
The witchcraft of the witch race was just icing on the cake.
Sang Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She lowered her head and said seriously, "Go, if you want to 'give a gift', this is a good opportunity. I won't be jealous."
As she spoke, she stuffed the little golden sparrow into You Wuming's hand.
She raised her smiling face and looked at him.
You Wuming stared at her strangely for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, his expression full of dissatisfaction with his wife. "Little Sang Guo, a pot of gold!
Do you know how many cloud beasts you can buy?
More than three hundred! "
Sang Yuanyuan was speechless.
He leaned closer and muttered to her, "I'm crazy. Spend an extra pot of gold on Huangfu Jun?
It's a waste to spend a single copper coin on him, okay?
Little Sang Guo, do you know how much gold my You Zhou's annual tax income is?
Later, I'll have someone teach you. You can't spend money extravagantly. You have to learn how to manage a household! "
Sang Yuanyuan was speechless. No, wait, is this the main point?
Did he reveal his true colors as a miser after they confirmed their relationship?
Who was the one who pretended to drink Ghost Mushrooms stewed with wood crystals as tea?
Heh, men!
She had unknowingly been led astray by him.
In the time it took for them to exchange a few words, the two of them were surrounded by a crowd of pleasure-seekers. When they saw a beautiful woman standing next to You Wuming, they couldn't help but wink and make eyes at each other, imagining a love snatching drama in their minds.
"Brother," a young man with a shrewd-looking face came up to them. "Taking your beautiful wife out for a trip?
It's not convenient, right?
Why don't I give you some gold and you give me this bird? What do you think? "
The crowd immediately booed and mocked the shrewd-looking man for being stupid. So what if he took his wife with him? There were many people who sold their wives and children to raise money for the Clam Fairy. A pot of gold could be exchanged for a night with the Clam Fairy. Who would give up such a heavenly opportunity?
Moreover, the Clam Fairy had clearly shown a different intention today. Who knew, this amazing opportunity might really fall into his lap?
You Wuming lazily glanced at the shrewd-looking young man and then slowly took the little gold bird from Sang Yuanyuan's hands. He gently stroked it with his long fingers as if he was stroking a gold nugget.
Although he had disguised himself, he was still extraordinarily handsome. His aura and elegance crushed the crowd of dissolute guests.
If the Clam Fairy really took a fancy to this person, the crowd wouldn't be surprised.
It seemed that today, they could only watch the beautiful woman fall into the arms of others.
The crowd shook their heads and prepared to leave.
You Wuming slowly raised his eyelids, and his thin lips curled upwards.
"How much are you willing to pay?"
The crowd was suddenly in an uproar.
"How about two pots?"
The shrewd-looking young man was stunned for a moment and then became ecstatic. He was afraid that You Wuming would go back on his word, so he hurriedly offered a shockingly high price.
You Wuming pondered and didn't say anything.
"I'll bid three buckets!" Someone immediately shouted.
A hoarse voice shouted, "Fixed price — ten pots!"
Ten pots of gold!
More than fifty kilograms!
A string of zeros flashed through Sang Yuanyuan's mind.
Seven digits!
She looked up at You Wuming in a daze and saw that his eyes were curved and his lips were curled. He looked like a villain who was proud of himself. The only thing missing was the word 'money' carved on his forehead.
"Eleven pots!" Someone shouted again.
"I'll pay fifteen pots!"
With a few swishing sounds, a middle-aged wealthy merchant with a bulging belly squeezed out with a golden banknote in his hand. "Gold banknotes for the entire territory!"
You Wuming's black eyes lit up and his interested gaze fell on the banknote in the middle-aged wealthy merchant's hand.
"Sixteen!" The shrewd-looking young man was so angry that his face turned red. "I was the one who came first!
Didn't you all laugh at me just now? Now you all want to compete with me. How shameless! "
The middle-aged wealthy merchant said with a smile, "Twenty.
Little brother, I'm laughing at you. I'm not the same group of people who are bidding now. Do you understand? "
The ones who laughed at him were those who were hoping to win the beauty's heart with a pot of gold.
And those who were not short of money were already prepared to smash someone to death with money.
Once the high price of twenty pots was announced, everyone began to calculate.
According to the game that the procuress usually designed, twenty pots of gold could be exchanged for a night of pleasure. If this money was given to others, they would have to prepare a generous gift for the Clam Fairy on the pleasure boat so that she wouldn't be unhappy and wait on them.
In this way, they were a bit at a disadvantage.
The middle-aged wealthy merchant took a step forward and waved the gold banknotes in his hand, saying, "Everyone, please give me some face. If no one else bids, I'll distribute the fifteen pots of gold banknotes to everyone on the spot. Let's be happy. I'll pay the twenty pots for the little brother!"
What a big deal!
It seemed that this middle-aged wealthy merchant was after the illusory 'good opportunity'.
The price was already a bit high, and this person was generous enough to distribute the money. Under such circumstances, anyone who raised the price would inevitably offend the public.
The scene immediately quieted down, and no one raised the price again.
The middle-aged wealthy merchant smiled proudly and walked towards You Wuming.
At this moment, a bamboo-like figure pushed through the crowd and walked over while waving a jade fan, saying, "I'll pay a box of Water Spirit Solidifying Jade Crystals."
Jiang Jinzhen!
Once this was said, the scene suddenly became silent.
Solidifying Jade Crystals!
The value of a box of Solidifying Jade Crystals was comparable to fifty pots of gold. Moreover, a box full of Solidifying Jade Crystals was not something that could be bought with money.
This kind of rare item was harder to buy the more it was needed.
Being cut off at the last moment, the middle-aged wealthy merchant's face was extremely gloomy.
As soon as Jiang Jinzhen appeared, Sang Yuanyuan moved her gaze away from the glittering banknotes. She calmed her mind and focused, paying attention to the movements around the large carriage.
This place was densely covered with spirit plants, and she quickly found the voice of the guide.
"Although the Solidifying Jade Crystals are not rare items, the Emperor only gave us five boxes. If Crown Prince Jiang throws them out like this, it will be difficult for us to explain ourselves," a slightly younger voice said.
The middle-aged voice replied, "Don't worry about it.
Why would the Eastern Prefecture's King care about one or two boxes of Solidifying Jade Crystals?
As long as the box of Spirit Marrow is delivered to the Eastern Prefecture's King, you and I will have succeeded.
To put it bluntly, these five boxes of Solidifying Jade Crystals are actually for Crown Prince Jiang. The Eastern Prefecture's King knows this very well, so why would he care about this? "
"Oh … I understand.
The Emperor wants to help the Eastern Prefecture's King to break through the next realm.
If the Eastern Prefecture's King can break through the barrier of the Nine Heavens of Spirit Brilliance with the help of the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Marrow, then no matter how useless Prince Jiang is, he can still be brought up to the Four or Five Heavens.
Sang Yuanyuan was inexplicably shot in the knee. Fine, can the useless Jiang Jinzhen be brought up to four or five levels of Spirit Brilliance?
Then why did she only rise by two levels when You Wuming broke through the next realm?
She would never admit that she was more useless than Jiang Jinzhen!
The young guide asked again, "Why didn't the Emperor give the Spirit Marrow to the Eastern Prefecture's King when he was in the Imperial Palace? Why did she have to go through all this trouble?"
The middle-aged guide chuckled and said in a low and mysterious voice, "Because the results from the Medicine Master just came out.
After using the Spirit Marrow, there is only a thirty percent chance of breaking through the next realm.
If he fails, his cultivation will be completely destroyed!
The Emperor trusts the Eastern Prefecture's King and thinks that the Eastern Prefecture's King has a higher chance of breaking through the next realm than herself. That's why she sent such a precious treasure to him. "
The young guide was suddenly enlightened. "I see!"
The two of them stopped talking.
Sang Yuanyuan collected her thoughts and thought to herself.
Jiang Jinzhen was already in front of them. She raised her nose and repeated, "I said, I'll give you a box of Water Solidifying Jade Crystals!"
You Wuming lazily raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Jinzhen.
He said, "I don't want Water Spirit, I want Wood Spirit."
Jiang Jinzhen immediately looked around. "Who has Wood Solidifying Jade Crystals? Quickly take them out and trade with me!"
The Solidifying Jade Crystals were precious treasures. How could a box of them be taken out just like that?
The middle-aged merchant looked at them coldly for a while and laughed. "Little brother, no matter how good the goods are, it's useless if the buyer doesn't like them.
I'll give you sixty buckets of gold! "
Jiang Jinzhen was anxious. "Who has Wood Solidifying Jade Crystals? I'll give you two boxes of Water Spirit in exchange!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
What kind of deal was this?
If anyone could bring a box of Wood Solidifying Jade Crystals with them, it would be like picking up a mine on the road.
Unfortunately, no one had it.
"Three for one!" Jiang Jinzhen shouted. "Three for one!
Who has it? Quickly take it out! "
The atmosphere was too heated. The golden light around them had gone to their heads. When Jiang Jinzhen thought of the special color in the clam, he felt his blood boil.
The fact that he didn't take out the Spirit Marrow meant that he still had a little bit of rationality left.
The crowd immediately whispered to each other.
"I have it." Sang Yuanyuan stepped forward with a smile. He opened his mouth like a lion. "But five for one."
The rat-eyed youth who made the first bid widened his eyes. He pointed at Sang Yuanyuan and You Wuming. "Aren't you two together?"
Sang Yuanyuan said, "I'm with him. Don't tell me I don't deserve Wood Solidifying Jade Crystals?
This handsome young master wants to use Water Solidifying Jade Crystals to trade for Wood Solidifying Jade Crystals. I happen to have something he wants, so I'll trade with him.
What's the problem with a mutually willing trade? "
As she spoke, she even raised her chin at Jiang Jinzhen, this' handsome young master '.
Hearing this, it seemed that there really wasn't any problem.
Jiang Jinzhen was very tactful. He immediately put his hands on his hips and shouted at the rat-eyed youth. "He's willing to trade with me. What does it have to do with you?
Five for one, then five for one! "
He immediately turned around and jumped onto the luxurious carriage. Carrying five exquisite boxes, he jumped down and handed them to Sang Yuanyuan.
"Give me the Wood Solidifying Jade Crystals!"
Sang Yuanyuan opened the boxes and took a look. Then, she signaled You Wuming to pass the little golden sparrow to Jiang Jinzhen.
Jiang Jinzhen took the sparrow. At first, he was happy. Then, he frowned. He vaguely felt that something was wrong. "Where's the Wood Solidifying Jade Crystals?"
Sang Yuanyuan said, "Didn't you trade the Wood Solidifying Jade Crystals for this golden sparrow?
You used Water Solidifying Jade Crystals to trade with me for Wood Solidifying Jade Crystals. Now that the golden sparrow is in your hands, why do you still want the Wood Solidifying Jade Crystals? "
Jiang Jinzhen, "…" Seems like there's nothing wrong with it.
At this moment, the white and warm Clam Deity in the clam was about to be dried out.
The people on the riverbank surrounded You Wuming to watch the show. The Clam Deity and the Caiyi Madam stood at the bow of the boat. They hugged their arms and felt the cold wind for a long time. It was sad and awkward.
After the Clam Deity coquettishly flirted with You Wuming, she was looking forward to seeing this man get carried away by her beauty. Who knew that he would not even look at her. He actually raised the price on the spot and started selling the sparrow!
The atmosphere on the other side was getting more and more heated. On the other hand, there was only the cold wind blowing on the river!
In just a short while, the price had already exceeded her usual net worth!
The Clam Deity gritted her teeth. She hated herself for being blind. How could she have picked such a trash!
The more she was left out, the more miserable she felt.
At that moment, the Clam Deity had an ominous premonition that the tide was about to turn.
The Madam Deity's face turned even uglier.
Solidifying Jade Crystals!
What kind of treasure was the Solidifying Jade Crystals!
How could it be picked up by such a poor guy!?
Her anger slowly turned toward the female prostitute in the clam shell.
The Madam Deity had seen through countless people. Naturally, she could see through the Clam Deity's tricks.
She raised her eyes and snorted coldly. The Clam Deity's scalp went numb. She knew that something was wrong.
The Clam Deity's fair body started to tremble slightly.
Finally, the crowd parted. Jiang Jinzhen, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, strode toward the pleasure boat with the golden sparrow in his hands.
"Sweetheart!
I'm here to dote on you! "
Jiang Jinzhen was tall and thin. As a member of the royal family, his looks were naturally not bad. His temperament was also better than that of the sons of wealthy merchants. He had been with the ladies for many years and had a greasy and romantic aura. He was the kind of high-quality customer that the Clam Deity was used to serving.
The Clam Deity felt hot tears welling up in her eyes. Looking at Jiang Jinzhen, she felt like a sow turning into a cicada. Her smile was even sweeter than before.
"Langjun!"
Jiang Jinzhen's soul was almost seduced out of his body. He strode forward and stepped heavily on the bow of the boat. He hugged the fair and boneless woman in his arms and rushed toward the depths of the pleasure boat anxiously.
"Langjun, it's not here!" The Clam Deity raised her slender hand and pointed at a three-story pavilion that looked like a dragon palace on the other side of the river. "Follow me home!"
Her words were so sweet that they reached the bottom of his heart.
Jiang Jinzhen's mind was blank. He did not even remember the trivial matter of the Solid Jade Crystal.
Seeing that the pleasure boat was drifting leisurely toward the other side of the river, the group of guards and envoys could only drive the carriage and chase after it along the White Jade Arch Bridge.
You Wuming grabbed Sang Yuanyuan's hand. The two of them were like slippery fish. They slipped into the crowd and disappeared in an instant.
…
The two of them hid in a back alley where there were not many people.
You Wuming wrapped the stack of boxes that he had just obtained into a large silk cloth and carried it on his back. His black eyes kept darting around. It was obvious that he was calculating how many things he could buy with this huge sum of money.
"The armor that the Eastern State Army is wearing," he muttered and raised his hand. "When the Nether Demon's claws hit it, the force will be dispersed throughout the entire body. It won't hurt anyone.
If you all change into that, fewer of my men will die. "
Sang Yuanyuan's heart suddenly ached slightly.
Youzhou was inland, but there were Qin, Zhang, and Ping Prefectures in the north, Han and Sang Prefectures in the west, and Bai and Feng Prefectures in the south. If the Nether Demon attacked fiercely, Tiandu would order Youzhou to send troops to eliminate the demon.
You Wuming's men had all rolled out from a sea of blood. Although they had all been trained to become elites, their casualties were extremely disastrous.
"En." She smiled at him. "With so many Solid Jade Crystals, we can exchange them for a lot of armor!"
"We also need to equip them with some Cloud Beasts." You Wuming said, "The losses last time were too great.
Oh, if we can equip the Cloud Beasts with armor … "
He narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
Sang Yuanyuan raised her face and stared at him with a pair of smiling black eyes.
"Little Sang Guo!" He smiled. "Watch me conquer this country for you!"
She felt like crying because of this chuunibyou youth.
"You Wuming, you're so good." She said, "Such a seductive woman is throwing flirtatious glances at you, but you don't even look at her."
You Wuming realized in hindsight and asked in shock, "Woman? What woman?"
"The Clam Fairy."
He tilted his head and slowly pulled his thoughts away from the sea of gold and silver. After a moment of reflection, he sighed. "Not bad indeed!
Aiya, I regret it so much! "
Sang Yuanyuan smiled and reached out to pinch him.
You Wuming laughed for a while, then grabbed Sang Yuanyuan's hand and left the alley. They walked into a shop with a signboard with the word 'Bai' written on it.
"It's time to get down to business."
When You Wuming bought the hibiscus cream last time, he noticed another popular product in this shop — Bai Clan's Magical Dew.
This medicine was a tiger and wolf medicine.
Its effects were heaven-defying.
When they entered the shop, they happened to see the shop assistant demonstrating to the customers.
The shop assistant held a long, lively snake in his hand. He opened the snake's mouth and dripped two drops of peach blossom colored dew into the snake's belly.
After a moment, the snake slowly straightened its body, leaving only a pair of glassy eyes rolling around.
The shop assistant held the snake's tail and danced the snake in front of everyone. He danced vigorously like a tiger, like a long stick. At first glance, it was impossible to tell that it was originally a snake.
"Come, come, come. Dear customers, touch it and take a look!" The shop assistant held the snake out in front of everyone with a 'whoosh' sound.
Bang bang! A long wooden stick!
Someone carefully reached out and pinched the snake's body.
"Oh, it's as strong as iron!"
"Tsk, tsk. Amazing, amazing!"
The men immediately smiled knowingly.
"Give me a bottle!" "I'll have one too!"
The shop assistant put the snake stick on his shoulder and took out the Bai Clan's Magical Dew from the cabinet with a smile. As he took the money, he warned the buyer not to use too much, at most two drops at a time. Otherwise, it would be life-threatening.
You Wuming went up and bought two bottles with an expressionless face.
When the shop assistant saw that he had brought a woman to buy this medicine, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He kindly covered his mouth and reminded him, "Dear customer, buy it alone next time. If a woman knows about this, it will damage her prestige!"
The veins on You Wuming's forehead throbbed. "It's not for me."
The shop assistant used a tactful tone and said, "Oh … I understand, I understand. You're buying it for someone else!
Of course, it's not for you. Our customers are all buying it for others! "
The shop assistant squeezed his eyes to show that he understood.
When he handed over the medicine, the shop assistant didn't forget to remind him again, "Dear customer, when you use it, please remember not to use more than two drops at a time. Otherwise, it would be life-threatening. Ah, please remember to remind 'others' that it's not for you."
You Wuming's face turned green.
"Two drops. I guarantee that it will last for more than an hour!" The shop assistant patted his chest.
You Wuming seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned even uglier.
Sang Yuanyuan suppressed his laughter and hurriedly took the small bottle from the shop assistant. He threw down the money and dragged You Wuming outside.
His face was tense, the corners of his lips drooped, and his eyes turned from time to time.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't hold it in and said seriously, "Little Sang Guo, only Jiang Jinzhen needs this kind of thing. Do you understand?
What's an hour? Heh, You Wuming … "
Sang Yuanyuan used his lifelong acting skills and nodded seriously at him.
"En!
I understand! "
