Half-demon Raising Immortals

Chapter 25 Number Plate
A faint tea fragrance wafts through.

Qiu Peng said: "Just grab the number plate, don't kill people, 50 taels of silver is a lot."

license plate?

When Lu Tong heard about this for the first time, he couldn't help feeling guilty.

The price has not been negotiated yet, and it would be timid to ask.

He picked up the empty teacup in front of him, pretending to observe the pattern on the teacup.

After a while, Lu Tong shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper Qiu, rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry. Once you start killing people, you have no choice. I will lead my brothers to exchange their lives for money. I can't even have enough money for the coffin in the end."

Qiu Peng cursed secretly:

Insatiable life gambler!

But there was always a smile on his face.

"How much do you want?"

Naturally, Lu Tong would not take the initiative to ask for a price, put down the teacup in his hand, and said: "Take a penny and contribute a little bit, and shopkeeper Qiu will give you a good word!"

Qiu Peng was silent for a long time, squinting his eyes and said: "The number plate is issued for seven days at a time. You grab the number plate for the second day, and each one is 15 taels of silver. After the third day, each one is five taels of silver. How much can you earn? Money, it all depends on your ability!"

"What about the first day?"

"The number plates for the first day are all in the hands of the Foundation Establishment monks, can you grab them?"

No.

Lu Tong is not a half-demon who doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, nodded and said: "Deal!"

Qiu Peng exhaled, and the fat on his face relaxed.

"When are we leaving?"

Lu Tong was a little surprised: "Treasurer Qiu is going too?"

"If I don't go, who will exchange money for you?"

Qiu Peng didn't tell the truth.

He made a special trip to Hukou Pass, most of the reason was to show the master.

Staying comfortably in Yunying City, even if he got the number plate in the end, without all the hard work and hard work, it will not show his credit.

Before doing things, you must first have a good posture.

Lu Tong only cares about money, and doesn't care about the little Jiujiu in Qiu Peng's heart.

"Tomorrow at noon, I will wait for you at the gate of the tea tavern."

"it is good."

Qiu Peng put away the money and said goodbye.

After Lu Tong sent it downstairs, he went to the counter to get the ledger, and said, "Master Qiu, for a cup of Tonghao tea, I sincerely appreciate two silver coins."

……

At night, after closing.

Lu Tong, Dahan, and Erhu sat around the long table in front of the counter.

The table is full of all kinds of food.

A whole stewed pig's head, a large portion of raw beef, deep-fried pork ribs, scrambled eggs with tomato, cold cucumber, three big bowls of pork offal soup, a basket of pancakes...

Dahan took the stewed pig's head, tore off half of the pig's face and put it in the Lutong bowl, and started to eat the rest of the pig's head.

Erhu stretched out his fingers, protruding his two-inch long claws, hooked the raw beef and handed it to his mouth.

Lu Tong took out a short knife and cut the pig's face into large pieces, poured a layer of vinegar on it, and began to chew slowly with the raw garlic.

After a while, there was only a mess left on the table.

Erhu is ready to pack up.

"and many more."

Lu Tong took out a jug of wine, poured out three glasses of wine, and said, "The door will not be opened tomorrow, I have a job to go out to Hukou Pass."

Dahan stared at the pig bones on the table without any reaction.

Erhu looked at Lu Tong, then at Dahan, but said nothing.

Lu Tong handed them the wine glass, and continued: "This trip is going to be done, what do you want?"

Dahan still didn't respond.

Erhu said: "I want a long knife, two-handed long knife."

Lu Tong looked at Erhu's empty left shoulder, feeling a little puzzled.

How can one arm use a two-handed long knife?

But he didn't ask, nodded and said: "Okay."

He looked at Dahan.

Dahan grew up in teahouses, and had never learned anything except making tea and collecting money.

Can't fight, don't know swords, and haven't learned spells.

Lu Tong was a bit hesitant to take Dahan away, but after a little consideration, he decided to take the risk.

After all, it is impossible for Dahan to stay in teahouses all his life.

Hukou Pass is very chaotic, but it is not a chaotic place with no order at all, just as an experience.

He thought for a while and said with a smile: "Dahan, do you want to get you an iron rake?"

Dahan didn't know what Lu Tong was laughing at, so he grinned.

"Don't use a rake, use a butcher's knife."

"Huh? Why?"

"The vegetable market, the butcher taught me how to kill pigs, I like the butcher's knife."

……

A mountain and river.

There is no vegetation on the mountain.

Many high and narrow hills are connected in a series of canine teeth.

At the end of the wide road, the steep mountains and rivers are abruptly cut in two, as if cut off with a single knife.

Hukou Pass is the only pass in and out of Yunying City on land.

Continuous convoys came in from the pass.

The centipede carts of the Great Chamber of Commerce are two feet high and four feet long in one carriage.More than a dozen carriages are connected together, and the vibration can be felt several kilometers away during the operation.

The vehicles of the small caravan are varied.

Some use monsters to pull carts, some use implements to pull carts, and some simply pull carts by themselves.

Lu Tong sat in a carriage, looked out through the window, and asked, "So many things have been sent to the city, can they be sold out?"

Leaving Yunying City, I began to vaguely see the convoy.

An hour after walking out, the convoys outside began to appear one after another.

But now three hours have passed, and there are still more and more.

Lu Tong did not expect that there would be so many caravans in the small Yunying City.

Qiu Peng snorted and said, "Yunying City has a population of one million, eating, drinking, cultivating, daily necessities, entertainment... What is this little thing?"

After paying the tea money, Qiu Peng's attitude changed a lot.

The smiling face that looked friendly before never appeared again.

The carriage stopped at a market inside Hukou Pass.

Qiu Peng threw out a token and said: "This is the token for entering and exiting the customs. This is the shop of the Jade and Vegetable Chamber of Commerce. Come and find me after you get the number plate."

"it is good."

Qiu Peng left in a carriage.

Lu Tong, Dahan, and Erhu were left standing outside the brightly lit market.

The night is already deep.

A gust of cold wind blows from outside the pass.

Lu Tong shrank his body and said, "Let's go, first find out what the number plate is."

……

Entering the market, a group of children and little half-demons surrounded them.

"Elder Immortal, enjoy your mouthful~"

"Master, please do me..."

Lu Tong took out a handful of copper coins and scattered them, and more orphans surrounded them in the distance.

Three handfuls of copper coins were scattered in a row, and the voices of "Thank you, Mr. Xie" and "Thank you, Immortal Elder" were all in my ears.

The copper coins were quickly snatched up, and dozens of small faces looked up at Lu Tong, expecting the next handful of copper coins to appear.

Lu Tong took out another handful of copper coins and asked, "Which one of you has heard of the number plate?"

"I!"

"I've heard of it!"

Everyone, half-demons raised their hands.

A child was afraid of being preempted by others, so he slapped the little half-demons around him to the ground, and said loudly, "I've seen the number plate!"

"Tell me." Lu Tong pointed at the child.

"Only with a number plate can you pass the customs. Many people in the market want a number plate!"

"anything else?"

The child opened his mouth, his eyes were red with anxiety, and he didn't say anything.

Lu Tong threw him two copper coins, pointed to another half-demon who raised his arms, and said, "Say it."

"The number plates will be issued the day after tomorrow, on the Tiger Tongue Stone outside the pass!"

Lu Tong threw her three copper coins and pointed to the next one.

After a stick of incense, I finally found out the ins and outs.

The number plate, the full name is the customs clearance number plate, a new thing that has just been released for a few days.

Before entering the customs, you only need to queue up.

There are too many teams recently, and there are fights and bloodshed caused by jumping in the queue every day, and it is getting more and more intense.

That's why the number plate was issued at the gate, and the number plate was used to pass the border every day.

On the first day, the number plates are only issued to the Great Chamber of Commerce, and the Centennial vehicles of the Great Chamber of Commerce will be given priority to pass the customs.

The next day's number plates will still be given priority to large chambers of commerce, and the remaining ones will be distributed to small and medium chambers of commerce.

From the third day, the number plate began to take care of large and small caravans.

Lu Tong drove away the little tails who were entangled and was going to find an inn to rest first.

After walking a few steps, Dahan stopped suddenly, grabbed his arm and said, "Boss, the knife, the knife is gone."

Lu Tong looked at Dahan's waist.

There are only three empty copper buckles left on the knife belt.

The three knives that were originally hanging on it, the bloodletting knife, the meat cleaver, and the bone chopping knife, were all gone.
