Datang Secret Shadow Division

"Brother Yi is awake."

"It's okay with your body."

"I can't die, just raise it slowly."

Ning Yi circulated his true energy, controlled his qi and blood, and pretended to be pale and sick.

Now that he is awake, and he is not planning to go back to the school to report, he still has to pretend.

"Uncle Meng, here's a catty of fried dough sticks."

"okay."

The golden fried dough sticks are fished out from the hot oil pan, and under the sunshine, they are attractive in color and exude a light fragrance.

Although Uncle Meng is a strong man in his 30s, his hands are very skillful.

Baimian was in his hands, as if he had been cast by magic, and a series of movements flowed like clouds and flowing water, just looking at it was a kind of enjoyment.

Daughter Chunni is fourteen or fifteen years old, and Ning Yi remembers that she is only two years younger than herself.

When I was young, I was like a little follower, and I couldn't get rid of it.

In the past few years, he has grown up and become unfamiliar. At this time, he lowered his head and was too shy to make eye contact with him. Marley tied the dough stick with hemp rope, tied a knot, bowed his head and handed it to Ning Yi with a face full of shame.

Ning Yi paid the money, walked six or seven shops with the fried dough sticks, and bought two bowls of bean curd.

The small vegetable stall in my memory disappeared, and I changed to a wine shop after selling braised pork.

After hesitating for a while, Ning Yi bought a rice wine for his father.

When I came back, I saw two yamen servants in tax official uniforms collecting taxes along the street.

"Wu Liang, why don't you go grab it!"

Uncle Meng slammed his fist on the table, the flour splashed, and the small fried dough stick stand seemed to be covered with fog.

"Meng Biao, we will not allow you to play tricks in front of us."

The tax officer opened the official document in his hand with a swipe, stared at Meng Biao with a sneer, and said, "This is a document issued by Mr. Li, the servant of the household department. Whoever refuses to accept it is unwilling to pay taxes. Hehe, let's invite him to eat for free and keep it under control." free food."

Black and white, big red seal!

The blood in Meng Biao's body was throbbing, he took a few breaths, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "I... have no money, can I delay for two days?"

"Okay, let's close the booth."

"When you have money, when you come out to set up a stall."

"Forcing me to death, what good do you have?"

"Yo, that's what I said."

"If you really have the courage, you can join the army to fight against the wolf tribe. If you make meritorious service, you will become an official and master when you return to the capital."

"Isn't it? Maybe next time we meet, we have to kowtow to you."

Seeing Meng Biao closing the stall with his head down, Ning Yi sighed, and the doubts in his heart were answered.

Meng Biao is probably not the first stall to be kicked out.

The two clans were at war, and the imperial court needed a large amount of money. If they wanted to get money, they had to increase taxes.

Meng Biao was one of the victims of this war.

And there are tens of thousands of such victims.

…………

At the dinner table, the old man ate deep-fried dough sticks and drank a sip of rice wine, his eyes narrowed in comfort.

For the sake of her son, Su Wei didn't stop her, but when her husband's expression was too exaggerated, he would give him an annoyed look and say a few words.

Ning Yi listened, interjecting a few words from time to time.

After breakfast, the old man went to be on duty. When he left, he called Ning Yi aside, and carefully told him not to hang out outside if there was nothing to do. The capital city is not stable recently.

Ning Yi inquired further and was told that there might be foxes sneaking into the capital to cause chaos.

Fox family, Jianguo Qingqiu.

It is said that they are descendants of fox fairies, which are different from ordinary monsters.

Not only did they give birth to humanoid forms, but they were all handsome and beautiful.

But in terms of appearance, there is very little difference between the fox clan and humans. The only difference is that the fox clan has longer ears with soft down.

In addition, this family is very talented in illusion and is good at manipulating people's hearts.

…………

Proficiency +1

Proficiency +1

……

After practicing Flying Feather Technique for a while, his proficiency has improved a bit.

When performing it, Ning Yi felt as if he had melted into the wind, and his comprehension of the spell had reached a new level.In a few days, I am afraid that five figures can be displayed at the same time.

"Mom, I'm going out."

"Be careful on the road."

"Okay!"

Ning Yi responded, walked out of the small courtyard, walked more than [-] meters along the central block of Yueguifang, and merged into the main street...

Stop and go along the way to appreciate the charm of the prosperous capital of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

Although there was a war on the border, the city didn't feel the slightest sense of war. On the main street, there were crowds of people rubbing shoulders, and it was very lively.

After spending half a day, Ning Yi came to Wanbaozhai.

The servant at the door warmly welcomed Ning Yi in. The hall was quaint and full of various commodities.

"Pei Yuan Pill, condenses true essence, 3000 taels of silver per piece."

"Golden steel sword, a superior weapon, 5000 taels of silver."

"Chixia Sword, a low-grade magic weapon, 4 taels of silver."

…………

Ning Yi walked around watching with great interest, and couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva before Pei Yuan Pill.

This is a good thing, only one is allocated every six months in Jixia Academy, and each can be worth several months of practice.Ning Yi once had a golden steel sword, the best among ordinary soldiers, but it was broken by a monster during the last trial.As for the Chixia Sword, it is a magical tool, and only senior students who have broken through the sixth level of Qi training are assigned to it.

"There are so many good things."

Ning Yi rubbed his hands, suddenly became interested in earning money.

When, I can come in and buy whatever I want.

This simple and unpretentious dream was not realized in the previous life, but must be completed in this life.

"Fire and Rain Talisman, 200 taels."

Ning Yi was a little surprised when he found the fire talisman he wanted to sell.

He has been learning how to draw this talisman, so he is very familiar with the market of the fire and rain talisman. Some time ago, it was only sold for 1000 taels. It has only been a long time, and the price has increased by 20%.

Profiteer!

Ning Yi cursed secretly, secretly happy in his heart.

"Shopkeeper, why has the price of this Fire Rain Talisman increased?"

"The guest officer doesn't know. The recent war at the border, the demand for talismans has skyrocketed, and the price has naturally gone up. It's definitely not our random price increase."

"It makes sense."

Ning Yi nodded, the power of the talisman is huge, advanced talisman can even leapfrog the level to kill the enemy, maybe even save his life at a critical moment.

Commoner children like Ning Yi are short of money, but those noble children are not short of money.

In order to save their lives, they are naturally willing to spend money.Most of the talismans are one-time consumables, which has caused a situation in which the supply exceeds the demand.

"Guest officer, do you want to buy it? If you want to buy it, hurry up and start buying it. The price may increase again in a few days."

Ning Yi rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought of a way to quickly get a sum of money and increase the speed of his practice.

"Shopkeeper, take a step to speak."

"this way please."

In the reception room, Ning Yi got straight to the point and took out the badge of Jixia Academy.

"I'm sorry, it turns out that Mr. Xiao is a student of Jixia Academy."

The shopkeeper took the badge and checked it, his expression became more respectful, and he said with a smile: "Wanbaozhai maintains a good relationship with many gentlemen from Jixia Academy. You can enjoy a [-]% discount."

"It's not urgent."

Ning Yi waved his hand, took out the Fire and Rain Talisman, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said, "You can have an appraisal."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, not knowing what kind of medicine Ning Yi sold in the gourd.But considering his identity, he patiently examined it carefully, and said, "The talisman power is restrained, but the spiritual power is not full enough. It can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Compared with the ones sold in our store, it is slightly worse."

"I drew it."

There was a look of embarrassment on the shopkeeper's face, then his pupils shrank, he stood up hurriedly, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, so sir is still a talisman master. Oh, look at my memory, I haven't asked your name yet."

"Ning Yi."

"Good name."

The shopkeeper sighed in admiration and said, "My surname is Wei, the shopkeeper of this store. If Mr. Ning has any needs in the future, just come to Wei, and I will give you a five-cent discount."

"Good talk, good talk."

Seeing that Shopkeeper Wei's attitude improved immediately, Ning Yi was secretly happy.

In Jixia Academy, there are not many students in the same class who can draw symbols.

Shopkeeper Wei's attitude is obviously due to his talent. In the final analysis, this world still depends on strength.

"Treasurer Wei, I have a business I want to do with you, I wonder if you dare to take it."

"Mr. Ning, please tell me."

"I want to sell you a batch of Fire and Rain Talismans, but you need to pay first, and the delivery will be in one month."

Ning Yi revealed his purpose, and added with a smile: "You also said that the price of the fire and rain talisman will only rise but not fall. Let's trade at today's price. You will make money in a month. If you don't worry, I will You can keep the waist card as collateral, don't worry, I will never renege on my debt."

"How many?"

"Two."

"Okay, let's do this, I'll buy it at a price of one thousand taels per piece, it looks good to you."

Ning Yi was stunned, and took a deep look at Shopkeeper Wei.

He thought to himself that it is no wonder that Wanbaozhai can become one of the seven major commercial firms in the Tang Dynasty. A shopkeeper has such a bearing and courage, so one can imagine being in charge.

"Treasurer Wei is really bold."

Ning Yi nodded and said, "Just follow the price you said."

With that said, he handed the waist badge to shopkeeper Wei.

"No, I trust Mr. Ning."

With a huge sum of 10 taels of silver in his pocket, Ning Yi walked out of Wanbao Zhai excitedly and walked towards the next shop.

…………

In the accordion on the top floor of Wanbaozhai, shopkeeper Wei stood with his hands down, reporting the matter to a girl respectfully.The girl was wearing an emerald green skirt, with a gentle and charming appearance, holding a document in her hand, which was clearly a background check on Ning Yi's identity, and even his recent injury was recorded.

"interesting."

After Shopkeeper Wei finished speaking, the girl smiled a little, and said, "The timing of his injury was just in time for His Majesty to deliver the paper, and before the student went to the front line, do you think it was a coincidence or intentional."

"Here, without evidence, this old slave dare not make random guesses."

"Leaving aside this, I am quite inspired by his way of doing business. If we first lock in a batch of goods at the current price and deliver them in one month. After one month, the price of the Fire and Rain Talisman may rise When it reaches 500 taels, we only pay negligible interest, but save 500 taels of silver."

The girl's eyes sparkled, and then she said to herself: "Of course, this method is also risky. If the seller's character is poor, we may not receive the goods, and the price may drop, and we will lose a lot of money in vain." A sum of money. However, now that we are in a time of war, the price of the talisman will only rise but not fall, so it is indeed a good opportunity.

Uncle Wei, you immediately contact some talisman masters who are short of money and resources.

Make it clear to them that we are willing to pay in advance as long as they deliver within the stipulated time. "

"Okay, I'll do it right now."

Shopkeeper Wei responded, and was just about to leave when there was movement in the talisman. After checking, he hurriedly reported with a smile: "Miss, as I expected, Ning Yi went to three other firms and bought 150 copies of Huoyu. Talisman materials, and some pills that condense true essence."

"150 copies?"

The girl's face was moved, she pondered for a while and said: "Master Song doesn't have such a high success rate, although Ning Yi has some talent, but his cultivation is too low, how can he have the confidence."

"Perhaps? Young and vigorous."

Shopkeeper Wei hesitated for a moment, then said: "At the time, this old slave thought he was capable, but now it seems that I may have been a little careless. Should I send someone to keep an eye on him, just in case he runs away?"

"No, you did a good job."

The girl waved her hand and said with a smile: "The talent he has shown now is enough for us to win him over. I didn't know it before, but seeing his talent now, it's enough to be ranked in the top ten in the same class. Watch him act Be cautious, you probably don’t want to expose your strength, so don’t send people to follow you in the future, if you are discovered, it will be bad. Moreover, I hope that he will not be able to show it by then.”

"Miss is still considerate."

Shopkeeper Wei said with a smile: "One month later, he couldn't come up with the Fire and Rain Talisman. Instead, he gave us a chance to owe him a favor."
