Chapter 57

Chapter 57 Shadow, Highway Robbery

“I wonder what kind of sword Mr. Lu wants?”

Lu Qing thought for a moment and asked, “Master Ma, I wonder how much it will cost to buy a sword?”

“That’s hard to say.” Ma Gu said with some difficulty.

“An ordinary battle sword can be bought for perhaps a few taels of silver, but a better hundred-refined battle sword may cost at least ten or even dozens of taels of silver.”

“As for other requirements, such as special battle swords mixed with special metals, then it may cost over a hundred taels of silver.”

“And those who like luxury and like to inlay jewels and jade on the hilt and scabbard, the price is even more difficult to estimate. Some swords may cost thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver.”

When Lu Qing heard this, he immediately said, “I don’t need any luxurious jewelry. Please, Master Ma, just buy me a hundred-refined battle sword. The style should be simple and plain. As long as it is tough and sharp, there is no need to ask for too much.”

“As for the price, I can accept it as long as it is within fifty taels of silver.”

After that, Lu Qing took out a silver ingot from his arms, “Here are ten taels of silver, just consider it as my advance deposit.”

Master Ma looked at the snow-white silver ingot, thinking that the old doctor really doted on Lu Qing and casually gave him so much silver.

Even when he was young, he had to rely on the clan to provide for his food and clothing, and it was difficult for him to have ten taels of silver on him.

But he changed his mind and felt that it was natural.

With the martial arts talent that Lu Qing showed, 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 already buy a very good Bailian war sword. Don’t worry, Ma 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 Ma Gu had other intentions

in helping him like this. But wasn’t he using him?

Nowadays, who would help others for no reason just by chance?

On the contrary, people with great kindness like the master are truly rare and hard to come by.

“Young Master Lu, it’s a rare occasion for you to come to the fair, why don’t you come to my place for a small gathering, so that I can do my duty as a host?”

After receiving the money, seeing that the two were talking harmoniously, Ma Gu took the opportunity to invite him.

“This…” Lu Qing hesitated, “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 there was a little ancestor in his house.

Moreover, he had been away for so long, and he didn’t know what that person wanted.

If he got angry because he couldn’t find him for a while, it would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Ma Gu didn’t bother to invite Lu Qing anymore.

He could only say, “Next time, then. When Young Master Lu comes to get the knife, you must have a few drinks with me, Ma.”

“As long as Master Ma doesn’t mind, I will naturally obey your orders.”

“Then it’s settled!”

Seeing Lu Qing agree, Ma Gu was delighted. He immediately called over one of his men, gave him a few instructions, and hurried back to the house.

Lu Qing shook his head when he saw that Ma Gu, a powerful Jingu Realm expert, was so afraid of the young man in gorgeous clothes.

It seemed that the identity and background of this noble man in the city were truly astonishing.

Seeing Ma Gu gone and having taken care of the sword, Lu Qing felt quite cheerful and continued to stroll through the market.

It wasn’t long before he had bought everything he needed.

Not only was the bamboo basket behind him overflowing, but his hands were also laden with items.

Having finished shopping, Lu Qing decided not to linger any longer and, packing his things, prepared to leave the market.

But before he left, he noticed Ma Ye’s men telling some villagers selling chickens, ducks, and pork to pack up.

Recalling the behavior of the young man in fine clothes earlier, it was clear that Ma Gu was afraid these villagers would again offend the nobleman.

Shaking his head, once again aware of the class gap between the city’s nobles and the villagers in the countryside, Lu Qing slowly walked out.

Just as Lu Qing was gone, two men suddenly emerged from the market.

They stared in the direction Lu Qing had left, their eyes filled with confusion.

“Seventh Brother, did that kid look familiar to you?” one of the men, a sullen man, asked.

“I feel the same way. I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before.”

Another man with a big black mole on his face was also a little puzzled.

“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 suddenly reacted, “Alike, very similar, but that little bastard was quite thin before, but now he seems to have become stronger.”

“It’s because he eats and drinks well.” The man with gloomy eyebrows sneered, “Those old guys in Jiuli Village said that the Lu family’s land had been sold and there was no money to compensate us. Now it seems that we were probably cheated.”

“Those old guys must have withheld a lot of money and deliberately refused to pay off Lu Ming’s debt.”

“Fifth brother, you said that the villagers in Jiuli Village cheated us?” The man with the black mole glared.

“Of course, otherwise where do you think this little bastard got the money to buy so many things at the market?” “

Are those old guys from Jiuli Village so tired of living that they even dare to cheat us?” The man with the black mole suddenly felt a surge of anger. “I’m going to catch that little bastard right now!”

He was about to head in the direction Lu Qing had left.

“Don’t rush,” the man with the gloomy brow stopped him. “What’s the point of just arresting this little bastard? If we’re going to do something, let’s make it bigger. Otherwise, people will think that deceiving us is free. How can we survive in this area from now on?”

“Fifth brother, what do you mean?” The man with the black mole’s eyes lit up.

“Let’s go, let’s go back first. It’s crowded here, and it’s Ma Gu’s territory. It’s not appropriate to talk too much.”

The two men glanced at the market, a hint of fear in their eyes.

Ma Gu in this market was no ordinary person. Even their boss said that if they could avoid provoking him, they would do so.

Otherwise, if he really gets angry, even the boss may not be able to stop him.

You know, their boss is a high-ranking warrior.

If even he is so afraid, then Magu is even more not someone they can offend.

The two left the market in a hurry.

On the other side, Lu Qing didn’t know that he had been secretly watched by someone.

At this moment, he was being stopped by another group of people.

“You just said that you wanted to rob me?”

I don’t feel well today, I have a headache, and my body feels a little cold. I don’t know if I have a cold or what. There is still one chapter left and I don’t know if I can finish it. If I can’t finish it, I can only update it tomorrow morning. Don’t wait for me
