Chapter 282 The Life of a Hawker

Ye Tian didn't intend to meet Xiao Wu.

in the afternoon.

Xiao Wu still came over.

It's just that on the delicate face, there is no happiness in the past.

But it didn't mention the news from Ning Fengzhi.

The clear eyes just stared at Ye Tian in the courtyard like a friend.

"Do you have time today?" Xiao Wu managed to maintain a smile.

Ye Tian, ​​who was cleaning the courtyard, put down the broom in his hand.

His eyes subconsciously passed over Xiao Wu's head: "Yes, yes."

He wanted to smile, but he couldn't.

"That's just right, I want to invite you to go to Heaven Dou City."

"After so many days in Tiandou City, you probably haven't been to most of the streets, have you?"

"If you don't go... Maybe you won't be able to go."

Xiao Wu's tone was very calm.

But the calmer it is, the more creepy it is.

"Can I come with you?" Bo Saixi crossed his arms and walked out of the living room, with long pale golden waterfall hair, half leaning on the door frame.

After hearing Ye Tian's explanation yesterday, she knew that Xiao Wu might attack Ye Tian.

Since it was decided to protect Ye Tian.

That security issue.

have to guard against.

"Since it's Bo Saixi's sister who wants to go, it's naturally possible." Xiao Wu tilted her head and smiled brightly.

Although Ye Tian was a little puzzled, why did Xiao Wu invite herself to go shopping at this time.

But he believed in Xiao Wu's character.

If it is to break, it will not play tricks behind the scenes.

"Where are we going?" Ye Tian raised his head and asked.

Since it is going shopping, there must be a place.

"Anything you want." Xiao Wu forcefully smiled.

The tone of his speech was very polite, like that of a friend he just met.

Ye Tian sighed softly in his heart.

He knew that he and Xiao Wu were still estranged after all.

But his expression was well concealed.

This time shopping, probably Xiao Wu said goodbye to him again.

All good things come to an end.

There is a time when the music ends.

It's a farewell, and there's no need to be so sad.

Ye Tian walked up to Xiao Wu, and held her hand calmly:
"These days, although I haven't visited Tiandou City, I know that the banks of the Dou Ling River are probably the most prosperous places in Tiandou City."

"There are a lot of special products of Tiandou City there, we can buy some when we go there."

"Okay." Xiao Wu nodded lightly, agreeing.

From the beginning to the end, she never mentioned Ye Tian's cooperation with Wuhundian.

……

Tiandou City, a private room on the top floor of an inconspicuous hotel.

Dai Mubai was among them, carefully sipping hot tea.

He tapped his fingers on the table, as if waiting for something.

Soon.

A middle-aged beggar walked in with a resolute expression.

As soon as he entered, he half-kneeled in front of Dai Mubai.

"His Royal Highness, Ye Tian and Xiao Wu went to Doulinghe Commercial Street."

"Okay, I got it. You inform all the dark chess pieces that it's time to move."

Dai Mubai gently put down the teacup in his hand, and said with far-reaching eyes.

"Yes!" The beggar replied solemnly, turned and left the room.

Beside Dai Mubai.

Ning Rongrong, who was wearing a long blue dress, looked a little worried.

"Are you really going to do something to Ye Tian?"

Dai Mubai said indifferently: "If you want to blame, you can blame yourself. There are many roads in this world, but they have to go into a dead end."

"Although I, like you, admire him very much. But if it blocks our interests, then he must die."

"That's what your father meant, so you should stop showing mercy."

Dai Mubai slowly looked at Ning Rongrong, and said with relief.

Ning Rongrong looked extremely embarrassed, he put his right hand on his chest and said: "Yesterday you told me to tell Xiao Wu the mission, but I didn't tell her."

"So, Xiao Wu still doesn't know..."

"What's going on!" Dai Mubai frowned, slapped the table with his palm, and said a little angrily.

Zhu Zhuqing beside him grabbed Dai Mubai's hand and said, "Rong Rong is also afraid, Xiao Wu can't bear it."

"Although Xiao Wu has a deep blood feud with Wuhundian, her relationship with Ye Tian is extremely close."

"Think about it in another place. Even if I stand in Xiao Wu's position, I can't help you. I'm going to attack Ye Tianxia!"

Dai Mubai's expression eased a lot.

Sighing and waving his hands: "Forget it, it's best that Xiao Wu doesn't know about the assassination."

"Let us help make her choice."

After saying this.

In the empty luxurious private room, fell into a silence.

Everyone's mood is not very good.

It's not that I feel sorry for Ye Tian.

But assassinating Ye Tian is a thankless task.

Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

Ye Tian has a very close relationship with Xue Qinghe.

Not to mention, Ye Tian is a national teacher.

There must be a hidden guard sent by Xue Qinghe to protect him.

More importantly, after assassinating Ye Tian, ​​Xue Qinghe could easily take revenge.

once discovered.

That will always be a wanted criminal of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Suddenly Dai Mubai patted the table, calmly said:
"In order to resist the brutal Wuhundian and preserve the power and status of our families, we have to make this choice!"

"This time the assassination is really in the capital of heaven and the imperial capital, so those long-renowned titled Douluo should not take action."

"However, I have secretly dispatched two Contras from the Heaven Dou Empire."

Ning Rongrong was silent for a while, then continued: "My father also sent two disciples."

Zhu Zhuqing smiled and said: "The Blue Lightning Overlord Longzong is even more vicious, Yu Tianheng directly hired a titled Douluo with a lot of money to assassinate Ye Tian."

"It is said that the titled Douluo is still a sea soul master, and no one will find out."

Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Tian had only met each other, so they didn't have much affection for Ye Tian.

She couldn't help sighing: "How much hatred does this Yu Tianheng and Ye Tian have?"

"It's actually worth hiring a Titled Douluo."

"Don't worry about the barriers between them, after all, it's a good thing for us, isn't it?" Dai Mubai smiled lightly, and stood up from his seat: "Okay, let's not stay here anymore."

"We have to go to Dou Linghe immediately. In case of any accident, we can also make up for Ye Tian."

"Okay." The other three nodded.

……

……

Said it was shopping.

But Ye Tian accompanied Xiao Wu all the way.

But he didn't say a word.

Bo Saixi walked far behind, so as not to become a light bulb.

The rippling banks of the Dou Ling River, and the noisy vendors selling goods under the embankment, did not affect the two of them.

It was a peddler who took the initiative to sell products and came up to break the quiet atmosphere.

The peddler was dressed in coarse sackcloth, looked like a thief, and was carrying a dilapidated box in his hand.

After watching in private and no one approached, he secretly covered his mouth and said to Ye Tian and Xiao Wu:
"You two young masters and young ladies, you look like a married couple that even the gods envy. I have something in demand here, do you want it?"

"What?" Xiao Wu was always curious, so she couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, the peddler looked around again.

Then he whispered: "You two come with me."

It seems that they want to take Ye and Tian to a place where there is no one.

Regarding the peddler's mystery, Ye Tian followed suit with a smile:

"You don't even say anything, you have something in demand."

"How can we follow you?"

As soon as this word comes out.

The peddler sighed.

He patted the box and said, "Is this the first time for the two of you to come here?"

"The box in my hand is a kind of mark."

"It...represents the person holding the box, who sells the fairy fruit..."

Xiao Wu pursed her lips: "Isn't it just a fruit seller?"

"What?" Hearing this, the peddler was not happy, and gave Xiao Wu a blank look: "What is selling fruit?"

"Is a fairy fruit a fruit?"

Like a thief, the peddler took out a piece of red ore the size of a fingernail from the dilapidated box.

"If you don't believe me, just smell it, it's a genuine fairy fruit!"

Xiao Wu frowned, the peddler in front of her probably took her for a fool.

This is a rock.

What fairy fruit.

Do stones still have a taste?

She smelled it subconsciously.

But Ye Tian pulled it away.

"Don't believe his nonsense, this is probably a hallucinogen, which can make people hallucinate."

Ye Tian, ​​who is proficient in medical skills, has a better sense of smell than ordinary people.

He smelled it the first time he took it out from the vendor.

This is a natural mineral hallucinogen.

"Who asked you to sell it?" Ye Tian frowned slightly.

"If you don't buy it, you don't buy it. Why ask so many questions?"

Seeing the young man in front of him with an extremely clear mind, the peddler knew he was bored, and immediately took back the 'fairy spirit fruit' in his hand angrily.

He looked at Ye Tian rather dissatisfied: "Don't look at this in my hand, it's only the size of a fingernail, but it's worth a gold soul coin!"

"Where did you do it?" Ye Tian raised his eyebrows.

But the peddler sneered: "Why, you want to do it too?"

He raised his head and pinched his waist and said, "It's okay to tell you, this fairy fruit is actually boiled from the piranha fruit in the Sunset Forest."

"There are many in the sunset forest, if you want free ones, just pick them yourself!"

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, with your small body, I'm afraid you'll have your life to pick it, but you won't have your life to use it!"

"I was with me at the time, and there were 20 people in the adventure team picking piranhas. When we got back, there were only three."

This remark made Xiao Wu feel contempt for the peddler: "What are you doing, isn't it better than doing this business of licking blood on the tip of a knife?"

"Are you willing to sell something that hurts others and yourself?"

"Hehe." The peddler looked Xiao Wu up and down mockingly, and said in a strange way:
"Miss from a wealthy family, how can you know the suffering of us poor people."

"If I have two acres of fertile land, who wants to get into the pile of dead people?"

The peddler weighed the 'Fairy Spirit Fruit' in his hand, with a calm face, and carefully put it back into the box:
"If it weren't for you rich kids who like this thing, who would pick it?"

Xiao Wu was a little stunned.

She didn't expect that a single golden soul coin would be enough to make a group of people work hard.

And there is reason to believe so.

Hawkers would not be willing to eat this so-called fairy fruit.

There is no other reason.

The value is too high.

For a moment, Xiao Wu didn't know how to condemn the peddler.

"You are not afraid, the government is coming to arrest you?" Xiao Wu stared and said.

The peddler smiled numbly: "Haha, catch us?"

"We didn't break the law, why arrest us?"

"Anyone who went to the Sunset Forest to pick the raw materials of the fairy fruit did so voluntarily."

"No one forced it. If the companion died of bad luck, it can't be blamed on us, can it?"

"Furthermore, this fairy fruit can't kill anyone, and it's all purchased voluntarily. May I ask what law I have violated?"

Xiao Wu fell silent.

The hawker selling fairy fruit seems to have caught a loophole in Tiandou's law.

But she knew in her heart what the ingredients of the fairy fruit were.

Absolutely harm others.

"One day, this loophole will be filled." Xiao Wu said angrily.

"Wait until you have that ability!" The peddler was a little impatient.

What a bad day.

I thought I met a big client, but I didn't expect to meet a reasonable one.

"There will be a day when you don't need to sell fairy fruit to live on." Ye Tian said silently.

"I hope so." The peddler sighed.

He didn't expect that the young man in front of him would sympathize with him.

This also caused his melancholy.

With a smirk on his face, he said, "At that time, I hope that the tax revenue of the empire will be less."

"Let's go." Ye Tian pulled Xiao Wu's skirt.

"Ah."

Xiao Wu followed Ye Tian silently, but she didn't go very far, she couldn't help turning her head, and looked at the peddler again.

Some said angrily: "He is certainly pitiful, but this is not the reason why he sells fairy fruit and harms people."

Ye Tian chuckled, found an embankment, and sat down: "Do you want to hear his story?"

"Is it from a peddler?" Xiao Wu looked extremely puzzled: "Could it be that you have seen him before?"

"But why doesn't he know you?"

"No, we haven't met him." But I heard a lot of stories from his conversation just now.

This successfully aroused Xiao Wu's curiosity.

She put her long white legs together and sat beside her: "Then I will listen carefully, what stories can you tell?"

"Don't tell me, you're making it up."

"No." Ye Tian smiled slightly.

"I know his story all too well."

"The peddler was born in a very beautiful village, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and surrounded by fertile farmland."

"But there is one thing, it's a pity. When he was six years old, he didn't awaken his martial soul and became an ordinary farmer."

"As a result, there is an honest farmer in the village, planting his own five acres of fertile land."

"Young people are always good at farming, not to mention five acres of fertile land. Although it is not much, life is always passable."

"But one day, the tax official came to the door. He said that the emperor issued a new decree to expand the army."

"The country people can't control the emperor's government orders. The only thing they can do is to pay the money honestly."

"Therefore, before the new grain came out, the hawker's family paid a lot of tax."

"Although life is more difficult than before, it is still passable."

"However, autumn has come, and the grain in the fields is ripe."

"The peddler's family took great pains to bring the food back from the field."

"The tax official came to the door again, saying that the emperor wanted to build a new palace and needed additional construction surcharges."
