How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 202

[202. Chapter 202 Another single draw]

the dust has settled.

The old man was still standing there, stretching out his huge and astonishing long arms, as if he had been cast a restraining spell.

Then, his hair turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his skin lost moisture and became shriveled. In an instant, he aged more than thirty years.

Huh, a wisp of breeze blows.

The old man fell to the ground suddenly, his head tilted, and he fainted completely.

Gradually, its right arm was bleeding, shrinking, and finally returned to normal.

The purple gold glove also fell off and fell into the blood-stained soil.

At this time, the comatose blind child woke up and called out several times, but received no response from the old man.

He didn’t panic, crawled around on the ground and groped around in circles, and finally touched the old man’s body, the black wooden box, and the purple gold gloves.

As if already used to it, the child put the gloves back into the wooden box, then hugged the wooden box and stood beside the old man.

The strange thing is that the insects and howling of wolves in the mountains completely disappeared, leaving only a little bit of snowflakes falling to the earth with the cold moonlight.

Two days later.

The old man woke up and opened his eyes suddenly, bloodshot.

He stood up and saw that the child was still beside him. He couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief, but then he immediately became nervous.

I saw that the child had already turned purple all over from the cold, and was taking in more air than out.

The old man’s expression changed greatly, and he quickly picked up the child and circulated his qi and blood to warm the child’s body.

Then, he lowered his head and glanced at the black wooden box, and sighed: “Shenwei, Shenwei, my Gusu family has worshiped you for so many years. I hope you can guide us to Qingzhou so that my Gusu family can completely lift the curse.”

After finishing speaking, the old man carried the black wooden box behind his back, stepped out in one step, and shot straight at the dazzling giant city in the distance as fast as an arrow.

Soon, he reached the official road and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Following the flow of people, he finally arrived at the gate of the giant city.

Almost instantly, the old man’s attention was attracted by the bookstall set up at the city gate.

Next to the bookstall, there is a long bamboo pole with a white cloth hanging down.

Written on the white cloth are ‘Qingyang County Living and Travel Guide’ in seven large characters, which is very conspicuous.

A bunch of people gathered around the bookstall, making a lot of noise.

From time to time, someone shouted: “Don’t grab it! Don’t grab it! There’s everything. The bookstore is still printing, and there’s everything! Get in line!”

The old man in black didn’t walk over immediately, but listened. For a while, the more I listened, the brighter my eyes became.

“There are still twenty taels of silver. Spending one tael of silver to buy a copy should be worth it!”

Touching the broken silver in his arms, the old man in black walked over and lined up behind a queue.

After a while, it was his turn.

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, an inch-thick booklet was placed in the old man’s hand. It still exuded a faint fragrance of ink. It must have been printed not long ago.

On the cover, there are seven small characters written vertically on the right side, ‘Qingyang County Living and Travel Guide’.

On the bottom are printed the three copper characters of ‘Ruoshui Bookstore’, and next to it is the pattern of Zhenfusi.

Opening the cover, what comes into view is a catalog, which covers major categories of people’s livelihood, such as housing, food, clothing, entertainment, medicine, military, bodyguards, martial arts, books… etc.

The old man in black opened the accommodation directly. The first one was a restaurant called ‘Taiping Xianju’, which was located three miles away from Zhenfusi.

The reason for being on the list is very simple. Since the establishment of the Zhenfu Division, no one has dared to cause trouble in the hotel, and not a single vicious incident has occurred!

In the entire Qingyang County, Taipingxianju ranks first in safety!

Without any hesitation, the old man in black decided to settle down in Taiping Xianju.

However, he glanced at the hungry and thin child in his arms, frowned slightly, and decided to eat first.

But when he thought of the magic weapon behind him, he gritted his teeth, turned around and spent ten taels to buy a copy of “Qingyang County Hundreds of Business Tastings”.

“The old gentleman knows the goods! This “Qingyang County Hundred Business Tasting” contains all the stores and shops in Qingyang County. With this tasting book, you can travel without worries! Come on, here is the map!”

The boy selling books smiled and handed over a map.

The old man in black took a map and two books and walked into the city with a wooden box for children on his back. Soon he saw a restaurant, which was the Yuelai Inn.

When I opened the “Appraisal of Hundreds of Businesses in Qingyang County”, I saw that this Yuelai Inn only had one star mark.

The following comments are very simple: poor service attitude, hairy dishes, the store bullies customers, people have lost things, and people have died.

When the old man in black saw it, he quickly turned around and left.

“Hey, hey, guest, don’t run away! The inn is offering a big discount today, with 20% off food!”

The waiter waiting in front of the door still wanted to attract customers, but he couldn’t do it at all.

Back at the inn, the waiter faced the frowning shopkeeper and said, “Shopkeeper, as soon as Ruoshui Bookstore’s “Business Appreciation of Hundreds of Businesses” comes out, our business will be completely out of business. If this continues, sooner or later we will have to close our doors!”

“Hmph! Close the door and go to the ticket office with me!”

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth.

“What are you doing at the ticket office?”

the waiter asked in confusion.

“Withdraw money and give gifts!” The shopkeeper spat out these four words in great pain.

At this time, the old man in black, carrying the young child on his back, finally found a noodle stall with three stars. He found that the noodle stall was very busy, and every table was full of people.

It happened that someone had finished eating and left, so the old man quickly grabbed it and shared the table with them.

“Tsk, tsk, now Old Sun is so busy that he has no time to brag!”

The old man in yellow, sitting opposite the old man, glanced at the busy stall owner and laughed.

“Isn’t that right? As soon as Ruoshui Bookstore’s Hundreds of Tastings came out, the number of people looking for noodles increased several times. How can he be as relaxed as before.”

The big man in linen on the right said with a smile.

At this time, the lady in Jinyi sitting on the left frowned and asked the gentleman in Jinyi next to her: “Brother, can you really trust these hundreds of tastings? Isn’t it just made up by Ruoshui Bookstore?”

The gentleman in Jinyi also had it in his hand. He was holding a thick book, which was “A Tasting of Hundreds of Businesses”. As he was flipping through it, he replied: “Have you forgotten? We ate all the way here in the morning. We ate at ten three-star restaurants and four. I’ve eaten at three restaurants with two stars, and I feel it’s fair and trustworthy.”

“Hehe, I only know how to eat, so that doesn’t matter. Then when are we going to eat the “Residence Travel Guide”. The ten restaurants we went to? These ten are the best in Qingyang County. They have five stars. They must taste the best!”

The woman in brocade had bright eyes, and she was obviously a foodie.

Mr. Jin Yi shook his head and said with a fond smile: “In a few days, there are too many people in those ten restaurants, so the prices have all increased. A guest room in the number one Taiping Xianju actually costs thirty taels of silver a day, and a table The food costs at least eighty taels, so wait until they lower the price before eating.”

Hearing this, the old man in yellow couldn’t help but sigh: “Master Lu is really a god! Just two books have turned the whole county upside down. Change! “

“Yes, yes! Especially the patrol house, once it is built, the number of thieves and thieves within a radius of ten miles will be reduced by more than half. There will be flying shield guards in the future, but it is a pity that it is built too slowly. I don’t know. When will it be built in Dongcheng?”

The man in linen shook his head and sighed.

The old man in black looked a little ugly when he heard this.

He originally wanted to live in Taipingxian for a few days, but he didn’t expect that the silver was not enough!

Obviously, like Taiping Xianju, the prices of the other nine inns in the guidebook have also increased, and he cannot afford to stay there.

Why not stay at another inn?

The old man in black rolled his eyes and was still weighing.

Suddenly, the toddler in his arms coughed.

The old man in yellow across from him looked over and said, “Oh, you kid may have caught wind and cold and your head is hot. You need to get treated quickly!”

When the old man in black heard this, he touched the child’s forehead and it turned out to be shockingly hot.

“Thank you, old man!”

The old man quickly picked up the child and found a three-star medical clinic.

Soon, the child’s fever subsided and he was fed some rice porridge. However, he found that after paying for the medicine, he only had two taels of silver left in his body.

At this time, the doctor came over, shook his head and said: “Your grandson’s eye disease is difficult to cure. Now he can only reduce the fever. Please ask the old gentleman to find another place.”

“Thank you, doctor!”

The old man in black thanked you and asked: “May I ask the doctor, how can I make money as quickly as possible?”

He had just looked through the guide and found that the best medical center was a medical center called ‘Ji Shi Tian Xia’.

But the old man also knew that without money, he probably wouldn’t be able to cure his illness.

When the doctor heard this, he glanced at him and said with a smile: “The old gentleman must be a Gangqi realm warrior. Go to the Zhenfu Division. They are recruiting people and they give a lot of money.” “Zhenfu Division? Thank

you

very much!”

The old man thanked him again, picked up the child on his back, and walked out of the street.

Gritting his teeth, he summoned a carriage and went straight to the Zhenfu Division.

At the same time, Lu Gan, who was in the martial arts training ground of the Zhenfu Division, suddenly raised his head, touched his thumping chest, and asked in surprise: “Could this feeling of a little deer bumping around be… a sign of a lottery! Will the lottery produce something good? “

Without any hesitation, Lu Gan directly activated the system and conducted the lottery.

Uh-huh.

One hundred points of chivalry will be deducted.

The lottery wheel popped up, and finally, he drew… air!
