Chapter 177 I Bought a Watch Last Year

A smile appeared on the corner of Mr. Arrow's mouth, "This is why I refuse to pull the bow."

Fortunately, Zhao Langjiang hid in time, otherwise his teeth would have been knocked down. After all, he was a master of the half-step Tongxiang Realm. If his teeth were knocked off by a bow, it would be embarrassing to be very embarrassing.

The official road of the city gate, "I forgot to tell you that this bow is called a recurve bow, and you have to pull it backwards."

Zhao Langjiang was unwilling to accept it and said, "I'll try again." As he said that, he connected the bowstring again and pulled the bow and arrow into a full moon in reverse.

Bang!

The bowstring broke again, and the nose that had just stopped bleeding flowed again.

Several other city gate officials laughed, "Sorry, the full name of this bow is Ziwu Yin and Yang Recurve Bow. The correct way to use it is to shoot an arrow head-on, and then another arrow in reverse."

Zhao Langjiang's face darkened, "Are you doing something for me?"

The head lieutenant said, "The city gate tax should be paid. If you want to save this money, you're dreaming!"

Zhao Langjiang's stubborn head came up and pointed to the bow hanging on the city gate, "Whose bow is from?"

The captain's eyes showed respect, "This is the Ten Stone Bow that the Arrow Immortal King liberated back then."

According to the Ming Dynasty, thirty jin is one junction and four jin is one stone. Generally speaking, if you can pull a bow of more than three stones, as long as you are accurate, you are already considered an archer. Back then, the Arrow Fairy was able to pull a bow of ten stones. Not to mention the internal strength outside the three realms, relying on her body alone, she was already born with divine power.

Zhao Langjiang said, "I'll try this bow."

The captain was stunned, "There are replicas hanging on the city gate, made of stones. Are you sure you want to pull them?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "I can see that you didn't even think that someone could shoot those two targets."

The captain laughed, "It may not be true. At least every time the magistrate and the patrol officer come to inspect, there are still many people who can reduce the city gate tax."

The city gate officials guard the city gate, regardless of their position, but they have a lot of oil and water. This kind of person is a lie, and there is no fixed amount of money to charge and pay every day. There is more chance of being favored and abused by the power. Generally speaking, it is mostly controlled by the confidant or relative of the county magistrate.

Li Qingcheng couldn't stand it, "Okay, pay the money and leave, don't embarrass you here."

The city gate official collected the city gate tax of four people, a total of 400 coins. He was about to be accounted for, but the captain said, "Wait, the income account will be levied at half the price."

He weighed the remaining 200 ounces and put them in his arms. Seeing everyone staring at him, his eyes showing displeasure, he took out another thirty ounces and handed them over, "At noon, I'll have a drink."

The four of them entered the city with their mounts. The grain was stored in a warehouse outside the city. They paid the deposit fee, and there were also ten escorts and Lao Li who drove the car, so they were not lost.

On the long street, there were many vendors wearing exotic clothes and a wide range of goods, many of which were never seen by Xiao Jinyan before. He couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that there would be such a desolate place, and there was such a market town, which was really eye-opening."

Zhao Langjiang introduced, "This Xinjian County is known as Xiaoyinyang. Many goods from the Western Regions are transported here to be distributed. It is expected that such prosperity will be expected. When you arrive at Yinyang City, you will be even more shocked."

The four of them were about to find a place to drink, and a middle-aged man wearing blue cloth and with a beard on the corner of his mouth walked towards the four of them. Before they could speak, the beard said first, "The four of you are here to Yingjian County, but are you going to attend the Yi Jian Conference?"

Xiao Jinyan shook his head, no.

He said with a beard, "What a pity, what a pity. Just now at the city gate, I saw four artifacts extraordinary, especially this brother, who are born with divine power." He pointed to Zhao Langjiang and said, "If I could participate in the Yi Arrow Conference, I wouldn't be able to run away when I looked at the top!"

Xiao Jinyan was intrigued, "How do you say this?"

"I'm not sure about it. Here is the agent of Tianyu Arrows, which is what everyone calls the arrow probe. They are specialized in finding capable archers. Through our series of packaging and operations, they will win a good ranking in the Yi Arrows Conference. At that time, fame and fortune will be gained. I saw that several gentlemen have such strength, so I took the liberty to come and disturb them, wanting to invite four of them to our Arrows."

Xiao Jinyan said strangely, "There is still such a thing. Can't you sign up for the Yi Arrow Conference at any time? Why do you still have to pass it?"

The beard laughed and said, "You are a layman. Xiangjian County has two main families, one is the Che family and the other is the Ye family, all of which are famous artists who use arrows. Every year, the Yi Jian Conference, they are basically responsible for the three Ages, but there are other rankings? As long as they enter the top ten, the imperial court will also be awarded a ten-family eldest son, which can be considered as having a royal body, so the following rankings are also very fierce. At this time, if there is no relationship between Arrows, even if you can pass through Yang hundreds of steps, it will be futile."

Zhao Langjiang frowned and said, "What can you have?"

"The number of people who register for the Yi Arrow Conference is not limited. As long as five arrows are shot above forty rings, you can be shortlisted. However, there are three levels behind. The assessment of the first two levels is not strict. There are acquaintances we have with us. As long as the arrangement is made, we will almost certainly be admitted to the third level. Even if we enter the third level, there are not no way to get a ranking, but..."

Li Qingcheng responded to the next sentence for him, "But the cost is a little high."

He raised his thumbs up and said, "My brother is unique in his eyes. However, this is a business that is stable and profitable. Once we enter the third level final, as long as we can create momentum, do enough publicity, and even have some scandals and gossip, your fame will become better. At that time, wouldn't we want money and girls?"

Mr. Arrow smiled coldly, "Okay, just talk about the price."

The beard laughed and said, "It turns out that he is a refreshing person. I have four places here. Each person only has twenty taels to enter the third level. Don't think we are lying to you. We are a ten-year-old shop, and we are signed formal documents and are always scammers. However, if you want to enter the top ten, you have to start with a hundred taels."

Xiao Jinyan asked, "What do you mean is that no matter whether you can shoot arrows or not, you can reach the finals by paying money?"

Seeing the four of them having a swaying mind, I patted my chest and promised, "That's natural. At the last conference, there was a Persian named Venus who broke his arm and entered the top ten. Later, he was summoned by the court to Shenji Camp! Think about it, you can't buy eighty taels of silver, you can't buy it and suffer losses, that is, you can't drink the money for a drink in the Zuixianlou. Once you enter the finals, will the girl throw her lots of money into her arms?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "You are very reasonable. Eighty taels, we don't have enough money."

The beard nodded, "You are here today, and it's just in time for the event to be held. The four of you gave you a half discount, only forty taels, how about?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "It's still a little bit."

The face of beard was a little uneasy. Seeing these people dressed, they didn’t look like people who couldn’t even take out forty taels. They pretended to hesitate for a moment, and gritted their teeth and said, “Okay, I haven’t opened it today yet. In this way, the price is thirty taels at a time!”

"It's still a little bit."

“How much is still missing?”

Xiao Jinyan said a little embarrassedly, "Twenty-nine taels and half."

The bearded face drooped, and his face fell faster than reading, and he said coldly, "I'm a poor man, I'm a waste of my saliva." He turned around and left.

Xiao Jinyan shouted, "Wait,? Can you discuss it again?"

He cursed, "Just half a tael of silver, go to the next store to have a dog meat hotpot, and then find a place to die!"

At this time, four gorgeous middle-aged people passed by here. It was Xiao Li Guang Lichang that Xiao Jinyan and the others met at the Paimayi, and the Shixi Yang Youti. The group tricked all the way and came to Xiangjian County, and were about to do a big fuss here. After they entered the city, they walked on the streets to find the ones to start.

Seeing these four people in a sloppy clothes and a good bow on their backs, I thought that Yang Gu was coming, and changed his expression, smiled on his face, and leaned forward and said, "The four of them are here to attend the Yi Arrow Conference. When I saw the four Artifacts, I knew they were not ordinary people. They were in the agent of the Arrows of Heaven, specifically looking for capable archers."

Xiao Li Guang and Yang Youtie looked at each other, showed a malicious smile, and said, "We brothers, come to this Yi Arrow Conference to see what Tanhua looks like this year."

He was stunned, "What does it mean?"

Xiao Li Guang said, "The No. 1 pick, the second pick is standing here. Isn't the rest just a look? Who among these people will compete for the third place?"

The beard laughed, "I think we can talk."

Yangyou Railway, "Just talk. What are your characteristics here? Why don't you recommend it? You are the host, and we are embarrassed to seize the beauty of others!"

"There is a dog meat hotpot next door, with a fair price and sufficient quantity. How old are I? I will be here today. Let's count it and see who the flowers are in this place of Tanhua this year."

Everyone supported each other and entered a hot pot restaurant with dog meat in Yulin.

When Xiao Jinyan saw it, he couldn't help but feel excited. The two scammers got together and could make up something, so he also suggested to try the hot pot.

The steaming hot pot was served and the aroma suddenly became full of fragrance. Xiao Jinyan picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, saying, "No, the more you chew it, the more you taste!"

The guy smiled and said, "The dog meat we make in our small shop is in all places, but it's awesome!"

At this moment, a noise suddenly came from outside the door. A woman in a strong outfit rushed in with five or six strong men and said to the diners, "Get out of here!"

The woman pulled out the long sword from her waist, inserted it on the table, and looked at everyone with anger, "You executioners, butchers!"

Xiao Jinyan asked, “Man, who is this person?”

The guy smiled bitterly, "This is the eldest lady from the Ye family in Xiangjian County. She is named Ye Yufei. She is a famous dog lover. She comes to the store several times a month."

When the shopkeeper saw the eldest lady of the Ye family, Lian Manlandui smiled and said, "Miss, what wind has blown you? If you keep making trouble like this, our shop will be almost closed."

Ye Yufei's eyes widened, "What you want is to close the door!" She said to everyone, "What are you looking at? Why don't you get out of here!"

The beard whispered to the people, "Brothers, we can't afford to offend this person, so why not do this? There is a braised and boiled fire outside the door. Let's go to the next door to try it?"

Xiao Li Guang and the others were not aware of it, and went out with the beard. The other diners seemed to be very afraid of this person and they all went out. In an instant, Xiao Jinyan and the other four were left in the store, and they were still here. It was not that they didn't want to leave, but that the money had been paid and they would feel a little at a loss if they didn't eat it.

Concubine Ye Yu seemed to have done something amazing. In a blink of an eye, the four of them were still eating hot pot in the corner. She snorted coldly and came to their table.

"you……"

The four of them ignored her. Xiao Jinyan picked up a chopstick and handed it to Mr. Jian, "Come on, try this dog whip and nourish the kidneys."

"It's outrageous!" Ye Yufei said loudly.

Zhao Langjiang couldn't stand it and said, "Girl, it seems that it has nothing to do with you when we eat."

"Why doesn't it matter? You eat dog meat!"

Zhao Langjiang said, "Everyone is a dog lover, but the way of loving dogs is different. You use your heart and we use our stomachs. As the saying goes, seek common ground while reserving differences, it is better to make friends?"

Concubine Ye Yu said angrily, "You are worthy too?" She pointed at Zhao Langjiang, "Why do you eat dog meat!"

Zhao Langjiang said, "Because it's delicious!"

"Dogs are human friends and companions, and I don't allow you to eat them!"

Zhao Langjiang laughed and said, "Your dog is your friend, your partner, but not a stranger's friend. In the past, I raised a mastiff in Hengduan Mountains. It has no other hobbies and likes to bite people. If you want to make friends with it, I can recommend it to you."

Ye Yufei looked angry, "You are so mean, you don't know what is right or wrong!"

"Then tell me why you can't eat dog meat! Have you ever eaten pork?" Zhao Langjiang also felt a little angry as he spoke.

"Because your dog killing methods are too cruel!"

Zhao Langjiang asked back, "It is also a white knife to kill a pig, and the red knife is coming out. Do you kill a pig in your family sing children's songs to give it a knife?"

"Because dogs are kind and cannot be eaten; pigs are evil and can be eaten!"

Zhao Langjiang laughed instead of anger, "The kind cannot be eaten, the evil can be eaten. Then I ask you, the thieves who kill and rob, are all evil. According to your logic, can we eat human flesh?"

The brave fighter did not expect Zhao Langjiang to say such words, and he was so angry that he trembled all over. She was the dignified young lady of the Ye family. When had she ever been so cowardly, she couldn't help but raise her voice eight degrees and said, "You are generalizing it with a single thing and confusing the public!"

Zhao Langjiang spread his hands, "I can't tell you the truth, I'm just telling you the truth!"

Xiao Jinyan sighed, "Old Zhao, this is yours. What's the reason to tell a woman? Oh, why are you stepping on me?"

Mr. Arrow said, "Be careful when speaking."

Zhao Langjiang nodded and said, "No, it's really mine!"

When Concubine Ye Yu heard him surrender, she showed a smug smile on her face, "Since you know you are wrong, then kneel down and kowtow three times for the dog you eat to pay tribute to its spirit in heaven!"

Zhao Langjiang said, "I said I was wrong, meaning I shouldn't reason with you."

"What do you want to do?"
