Martial Peak

"The shopkeeper, you come here." Yang Kai waved to him.

He had been watching with cold eyes just now, and he didn't know what had happened, so he wanted to inquire. After all, what to say, there is something to do with Ling Xiaozong's reluctance.

"What do the guests have to say? But do you want some wine?" The shopkeeper came to Yang Kai and asked with a smile.

"Drinks are not in a hurry." Yang Kai smiled slightly and looked at the staircase suspiciously: "Who were those two just now? Why did they come to this restaurant to eat and drink, instead of having to pay for it, but also asking you to give Shengjing?"

"This ..." The shopkeeper's face was stunned, and he looked around and found that the guests were drinking and having fun, and did not pay attention to it. This lowered the voice and said: "The guests are the first to come to Bibo City?"

"Good." Yang Kai nodded gently.

"Then you should go early, Bibo City is not a place to stay for a long time." The shopkeeper's face was ashamed, and he waved his hands again and again.

"It's not a place to stay for a long time?" Yang Kai frowned. "What's going on here?"

He saw the people in this city coming and going, and it seemed quite lively and bustling, and the situation in the city was calm and calm, and there seemed to be no signs of major events.

"Hehe ..." The shopkeeper's wry smile, "Guests, please listen to Xiao Lao Er's persuasion. If you want to leave, hurry up. If you stay here for a long time, you can't go if you want to go."

"What do you mean, please tell the shopkeeper to make a point." Yang Kai stared at him scorchingly. "I heard that it is a subsidiary of Zhantian City, and it is the industry of Ling Xiaozong. How can anyone dare to be detrimental to this city? ? "

"I can't say it, I can't say it, although the little old man hasn't lived a few years, but he doesn't want to die so early, guests please help yourself." The shopkeeper kept shaking his head, his face was ugly, so he turned and left.

"I'm from Ling Xiaozong!" Yang Kai said in a deep voice.

"What?" The shopkeeper's face changed dramatically, looking at Yang Kai in amazement.

"Don't be so nervous." Yang Kai chuckled. "I'm a disciple of Ling Xiaozong. The patriarch order came here to make an unannounced visit. If you have something to say to the old man, just say it straight away. I'm curious to know if there is any fatalistic dare not to take it. My Ling Xiaozong is in my eyes. "

"Are you Xiao Lingzong? Are you really Xiao Xiaozong?" The shopkeeper's expression was excited, and he was a little suspicious, he moved closer and asked in a low voice.

"Yes! The old man is at ease. Your words come out of your mouth and come into my ears. I won't talk nonsense everywhere." Yang Kai softly relieved and tempted.

The shopkeeper's look changed, and he seemed to hesitate something. After a while, he gritted his teeth and sat down opposite Yang Kai.

Yang Kai reached out and poured a glass of wine for him. The drinker took a sip of the drink. The spirits were brave and the emotions were brewing before he said: "The guests don't know, I let you leave quickly, it's not that someone is right Ling Xiaozong is unfavorable, and it is not what happened to Bibo City. It is really not a place where people are treated. "

"Oh? Then what's going on, please ask the elders to tell me in detail, the boy would be grateful." Yang Kai smiled slightly.

"Hey, it's hard to say a word!" The shopkeeper sighed deeply. "Guest, you just saw the attitude of the two."

"Yes, who are they."

"The city's palace."

"City Lord's House?" Yang Kai was shocked again and again.

"Oh, the guests also feel strange? The main palace is supposed to protect us, but why did you come to the shop to search for and exploit the Holy Crystal?" The shopkeeper's tone was low, "Because that is the tax that the main palace will collect!"

Yang Kai frowned.

"As long as the profits of the shops operating in Bibo City are at least 70% turned over to the city's main palace, the remaining three costs are barely enough to cover all kinds of expenses, but they can't help those people looking for all kinds of exploitation from the beginning. The small shop is alone and can't resist at all. Someone was dead in the shop a few days ago. "The shopkeeper complained, it seemed that he drank a little bit of wine, and his courage was much bigger. During his speech, his expression became angry. stand up.

"This is the meaning of the city's main palace?" Yang Kaihan asked.

"Good! Or how could those people have such courage to act like this? The two of them just came to collect taxes."

"Since there are so many taxes here, why didn't the old man leave Bibo City and make a living?"

The shopkeeper's wry smile: "Who can leave? No one can leave! Once the people in the city's palace find that there are escapers, they will be killed without amnesty. The heads on the city walls are all bloody lessons, not only our small books Small profit businesses are tied up here, as are all small families and warriors living in the city. The various benefits they get from overseas adventures are also subject to a large part of the tax. As long as there is resistance, they will be targeted. , Several small families have been destroyed. "

During the speech, the shopkeeper looked at Yang Kai carefully and asked softly, "Brother, little old man, I asked courageously, is this not the order given by Ling Xiaozong?"

"How could Ling Xiaozong give such instructions?" Yang Kai looked ugly and sneered: "I Ling Xiaozong will not do this kind of thing. Um, what about Zhantian City? Does Zhantian City matter?"

"Xiao Lao Er is not clear, but if Zhantian City is in charge, these things should not happen. I just do n’t know if this means Zhantian City or the main palace of Bibo City. But I heard that Zhantian City Since Bian changed his lord, the tax has been particularly low, attracting many people to go, but now it is overcrowded. Many people are attracted by the name of Ling Xiaozong, who want to join them but have no way to enter, and Zhantian City cannot enter. , Can only retreat to the next place, go to the place related to Ling Xiaozong, Bibo City is one of them. Outsiders can not see the dark darkness hidden under the Bibo City, but the little old man knows no more, so I let You left early. If you have lived here for a long time and are included in the roster, you will not be able to leave by then. "

"Interesting!" Yang Kai sneered.

"Brother, since you came here to observe the secret visit of the Sect Master Ling Xiao, then quickly send the news back. Xiao Laoer hopes that your Ling Xiao Zong will come to you as soon as possible to remove the cancerous tumor of Bibo City, so that Xiao Laoer can stay here For the rest of my life! "The shopkeeper's face looked openly towards Yang.

"The old gentleman is relieved, I will not sit by and ignore this matter." Yang Kai grinned, "Anyway, there are many people here who are in the name of Ling Xiaozong, how can they not be bullied. , Or it will really destroy my reputation of Ling Xiaozong. "

"Brother, don't be impulsive." The shopkeeper was shocked to see the fierce light flashing in Yang Kai's eyes.

"Relax, I have my own sense." Yang Kai's eyes rose coldly.

If it was not a coincidence this time, he did not know that some people were doing these activities under the name of Ling Xiaozong.

Yang Kai suddenly remembered that on the way back from Biboyuan, the girl named Feier said a little bit when she talked about the situation of Bibo City. It was because of this reason.

The rising time of Ling Xiaozong was too short, the number of disciples in Zong was scarce, and the foundation was unstable. Now it is the time to draw people's hearts, but the situation of Bibo City is discrediting Ling Xiaozong, and Yang Kai cannot naturally ignore it.

At this moment, there was a loud noise from the street below. Immediately, a wave of energy rose up and down, followed by exclamations and screams.

Yang Kai looked down from the position of the sound source, and a girl in green immediately printed into the eyes and could not help but snorted.

"Old gentleman, the wine money has been collected." Yang Kai dropped a few pieces of top grade Shengjing, grabbed a wine jar, and jumped from the window.

In the middle of the street, in front of a grocery store, three or four young people stood there looking angrily, looking at the other two with red eyes, running in holy element, secretly alert, but daring not to easily do it.

Behind these young men, a young girl in green is holding an old man. The old man seems to have suffered a lot of injuries, his face is pale, and there is blood flowing around the corner of his mouth.

Countless people were watching.

"Second Uncle, are you okay?" The girl in green asked nervously, and Qiao's face was worried.

"It's okay." The old man slowly shook his head and spit out two words with difficulty.

"How can you beat someone?" The green-haired girl turned her head and sipped at the two martial artsmen who had started before.

"Beating someone?" One of the burly men heard the words and smiled, "What's the matter with beating someone? Who made this old guy ignorant, I didn't want his life, but he was merciful, your little girl doesn't Even if I am grateful to Lao Tzu, I dare to accuse me. Believe it or not, I will kill him now! "

"You ..." The girl in the green dress has a pretty face. After all, the strength is not high, and the age is young. When you are so intimidated by the other party, you don't dare to say anything at all. I am afraid that the other party is really annoyed and hurt the killer.

"Huh, the city owner has orders, but all the proceeds from the transaction will have to pay a part to the city mansion. Why, old man, are you deaf or blind, and dare to secretly deal with people. I do n’t know if you are so bold!

"Dare to ignore the order of the city's main palace, old man, you are impatient." The other person also smiled tentatively.

The old man's face was blue, but he didn't dare to refute the slightest. Although there were many people on the crowd, he didn't dare to have any movements, but when he looked at the old man and the girl and other people, they all showed sympathy.

There are so many taxes in Bibo City, and the exploitation is so heavy that almost everyone can barely maintain food and clothing, and ca n’t escape from this place. Therefore, if you have any rewards when you go out on adventures, you will find secretly reliable shops to trade secretly, so that no one will find it. Escape the harsh tax.

This phenomenon has become commonplace in Bibo City.

The old man and his party were unlucky this time, and they were inadvertently hit by the people in the main palace.

Taking a deep breath, the old man clenched his fist with solemn expression: "The two, it is not that I waited and ignored the order of the city's lord's house. I originally planned to pay Shengjing after the transaction, but I didn't have time."

"The old things are pretty good, hey, I just don't know what I think." The big guy obviously wouldn't believe that.
