Chapter 214 The Reputation Is Growing, Level 7 Black Dragon Meat!
Although he didn't know what kind of realm-breaking object could be called special by Zhao Ya, Mo Qi didn't ask any more questions.
After Zhao Ya left, he turned his head and looked at Rao Mingyue beside him.
Although the blood in Rao Mingyue's mouth had stopped at this time, most of his teeth had been knocked out, which also meant that he would never be able to sing opera again.
After all, without teeth, even speaking would be a glitch, and singing opera would be impossible.
Thinking of this, Mo Qi's heart was full of regret and guilt.
If it weren't for his own reasons, this young man with amazing opera talent would not have ended up like this.
He pondered for a moment, then sighed and said: "Mingyue, I have implicated you. If you don't mind, I am willing to accept you as my apprentice and teach you martial arts and medical skills."
Rao Mingyue's reaction was also very fast. He knelt down on the ground after hearing the words, kowtowed three times respectfully, and then raised his head and said with hope.
"Master, can you teach me piano skills?"
Piano skills?
Mo Qi laughed in silence.
How many people were eyeing his martial arts and medical skills, but he didn't expect that this young man was only interested in his piano skills.
He nodded, "Of course, as long as you want to learn, I will teach you."
Rao Mingyue was overjoyed when he heard this.
In his opinion, although he could no longer sing opera from now on, it would be good to be a piano player.
Just when Mo Qi accepted Rao Mingyue as his apprentice, Zhao Ya had already returned to Shangjia.
At this time, the courtyard wall had been rebuilt and the broken floor tiles had been cleared away.
Shang Luoluo was directing people to plant flowers and plants in the courtyard.
When she saw Zhao Ya, her expression was a little unnatural.
Before, she kissed Zhao Ya on impulse, and now Shang Luoluo's face was still a little hot.
But Zui'er didn't notice anything unusual, and happily said to Zhao Ya while holding a large stack of invitations.
"Brother Xiaoya, these are the invitations sent today, all for you."
Zhao Ya picked up a few and looked at them. They were all invitations from some chambers of commerce in Yandu City.
They were full of compliments, but their meaning was nothing more than wanting to invite him to dinner, chat, and discuss cooperation matters.
Zhao Ya knew that the fact that he and Yan Xizhao had a draw was beginning to ferment.
These businessmen had very sensitive noses, and they immediately smelled business opportunities when they heard the news.
So they took advantage of the fact that he had not really become famous, and rushed to him to brush up his favorability.
In this way, even if the cooperation failed, at least he left a good impression, which was considered an early investment.
If it were someone else, it would be very likely that he would really not be able to control himself and fall into the ocean of flattery.
Not to mention a young man in his early twenties, even a veteran in the world of martial arts who had experienced many hardships sometimes could not resist this temptation.
But Zhao Ya was different.
Having lived two lives, he was extremely firm and mature in mind.
So after seeing this thick stack of invitations, he didn't show any emotion, just flipped through two of them, and then said to Zui'er.
"Throw them all away."
"Ah?" Zui'er was a little surprised.
"With so many invitations, you won't go, brother Xiaoya?"
"No, if you really want to see me, you will come to visit me directly. These are just for fun. If I really go, I will be secretly laughed at by these people for being uncultured."
Zui'er suddenly realized, and then threw all the invitations aside with a look of disgust on her face.
She had treasured these invitations like treasures before, but they turned out to be rubbish.
No wonder Sister Luo Luo looked at her strangely, as if she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Zui'er thought angrily.
At this time, Shang Jingchuan came back from outside.
Although he didn't have an official position yet, Shang Jingchuan couldn't stay idle at all, and he was busy every day.
He was either visiting colleagues or understanding the people's sentiments, anyway, he was not at home.
But today he was different from the past. He was in high spirits and humming a little tune, as if he had encountered some great event.
As soon as he saw Zhao Ya and Shang Luoluo, he laughed first without waiting for people to ask.
"Hahaha, I'm really happy today. I'll ask the kitchen to cook two more dishes tonight. I want to have a good drink."
"Father, what good thing happened today that made you so happy?" Shang Luoluo asked.
"It's about the Four Seas Gang. Today, I and several colleagues were drinking and listening to music in Changpingfang. Suddenly, we heard a commotion outside. Later, we found out that a hall master and many gang members of the Four Seas Gang were killed!"
Speaking of this, Shang Jingchuan looked excited, "The Four Seas Gang harbored filth and its gang members were even more outrageous. Now so many social scums have died. Isn't this a great thing?"
Hearing this, Shang Luoluo almost subconsciously looked at Zhao Ya on the side.
Zhao Ya smiled, "Uncle Shang said it well, it's really not too much for these scum to die."
"Hahaha, well said, we should have a good drink tonight." Shang Jingchuan said happily, and then described what he saw and heard in Changpingfang today.
"The Four Seas Gang is so arrogant. Just because a hall master died, they dared to openly raid all brothels in broad daylight, even the place where we drank was not spared. If the boss hadn't vouched for us, even we, the court officials, would have been questioned. It's really abominable."
"Didn't you ask how the leader of the Sihai Gang died?"
"I asked, I heard that they were searching for a person, but they failed to arrest him but were killed instead. It was really satisfying. You don't know that the girl who sang for us at that time burst into tears when she heard it. It can be seen that these guys usually How infuriating.”
Shang Jingchuan talked nonchalantly, and then went to the house to change clothes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shang Luoluo approached Zhao Ya and asked in a low voice: "Did you do it?"
Zhao Ya nodded.
"I knew..." Shang Luoluo sighed, "Is it because of the person you came to the capital to find?"
"yes."
"Where are the people?"
"It's been found and settled."
"That's fine. Be careful. Yandu City is different from Yunxiao County. The water here is very deep. Especially the Sihai Gang. There should be at least one big clan behind it. There are also many top aristocratic families involved. The forces are intertwined. If you are not sure, , try not to be confrontational.”
Looking at Shang Luoluo who looked worried, Zhao Ya smiled slightly and suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch her nose.
"Okay, don't worry, you still don't know what my temper is? I won't do anything I'm not sure about."
This intimate gesture made Shang Luoluo's face turn red. She covered her nose and glanced at Zhao Ya shyly and angrily.
"Say what you say, what are you going to do?"
"What? You are allowed to talk to me, but I can't do it?" Zhao Ya said with a smile.
"Oh, you won't listen to that bastard chanting sutras!"
Shang Luo was so ashamed that he covered his ears and ran away.
Zhao Ya looked at it with a smile.
At this time, Zui'er also appeared next to Zhao Ya and said in great surprise: "Hey, what's wrong with Sister Luoluo?"
"It's not swollen. I guess I accidentally ate something bad."
Although Zui'er was still confused, at this moment, a guard walked in from the door with a letter in his hand.
"Master Zhao, someone asked me to give you this thing just now."
"oh?"
Zhao Ya reached out to take it, opened it, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
If I feel really sleepy, someone will give me a pillow.
Zhao Ya was about to find him, but he didn't expect him to come in advance.
The letter was sent by Yunyuan's entrustment, and a location was agreed on.
"Zui'er, let me tell you, Sister Luoluo, that I have something to do tonight and may have to come back later. You don't have to wait for me to eat."
"Uh-huh."
Zui'er never asked too much about Zhao Ya.
In her opinion, the things Zhao Ya was busy with must be of first-class importance, and she couldn't help him much. It was useless to ask, so it was better to just support him silently.
According to the address written on the letter, Zhao Ya came to an unknown restaurant and saw Yun Yuan in the private room on the second floor.
We haven't seen each other for many days, and Yunyuan's condition is much better at this time, at least he is no longer as embarrassed as when he was ambushed and chased before.
When he saw Zhao Ya, Yun Yuan hurriedly stood up and bowed his hands in salute.
"Young Master Zhao!"
Zhao Ya waved his hand and said straight to the point: "Did you bring the things?"
"I brought it, please take a look."
After saying that, Yunyuan took out a small box and handed it over respectfully.
After Zhao Ya took it, he felt a faint aroma of flesh and blood tingling in his stomach, and he felt happy in his heart.
You must know that since entering the Half-Step Five Realm, Zhao Ya's requirements for blood have become increasingly large, and ordinary dried meat can no longer meet his requirements.
At least this feeling of being tickled in the stomach has not occurred for a long time.
Zhao Ya gently opened the box, and inside it was neatly arranged, all of which were dried meats that were nearly pure black and looked like sandalwood.
The rich aroma of meat hit his nostrils, and Zhao Ya even felt that his stomach was moving.
"This is……."
"This is the seventh-grade dried meat, Black Dragon Pork Jerky, which I worked so hard to obtain."
Seventh grade black dragon meat jerky.
Hearing this name, Zhao Ya couldn't help but feel slightly moved.
You should know that the dried meat of exotic animals is roughly divided into ten grades according to the quality of Qi and blood it contains.
Level one is the lowest and level ten is the highest.
The dried seven-star blood eel that Zhao Ya often ate in Yunxiao County was classified as level five.
But even with this fifth-level dried meat, Zhao Ya couldn't eat it open.
In fact, Zhao Ya would have given up long ago if he hadn't raided all the seven-star blood eels in the entire Yunxiao County before leaving.
Even so, there is not much dried meat left on Zhao Ya's body now, so the box of black dragon dried meat sent by Yunyuan can be said to have solved Zhao Ya's urgent need.
Zhao Ya gently closed the lid of the box and then looked at Yun Yuan in front of him.
"The value of these dried meats is obviously more than twenty thousand taels of gold, so... what do you want to do?"
Zhao Ya knew very well that even in the capital city of Yan, it was extremely difficult to obtain dried meat from exotic beasts such as black dragon meat jerky.
It's not even measurable in terms of money.
Even if Yun Yuan comes from the top wealthy Yun family, it must not be that easy to get these dried meats.
So this is obviously a sign of goodwill to myself.
So what does he want to do?
When Yun Yuan heard this, he just shook his head.
"Don't get me wrong, Young Master Zhao, I have no intentions towards you. I just want to express my gratitude to you. After all, if it weren't for you, I would have died in Yingtai County."
Zhao Ya took a deep look at Yun Yuan and saw the eldest son of the Yun family looking at him sincerely before finally nodding.
"okay, I get it."
As he said this, Zhao Ya put the box of dried meat into his arms.
Yun Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Zhao Ya would not accept the dried meat.
In that case, his efforts would be wasted.
Now seeing that Zhao Ya did not refuse, Yun Yuan was very happy.
Because in Yun Yuan's view today, there is no relationship in the world that is more stable than interests.
Not even blood relations.
And Zhao Ya's acceptance of his gift proves that there is a possibility of further strengthening the relationship in the future.
Since the ambush and sneak attack, Yun Yuan felt that he was alone. Although Yun Hao should not dare to act openly after arriving in Yandu City.
But his stepmother's base camp is in Yandu City. If she really wants to deal with him secretly, he will not even have the strength to fight back.
For this reason, he thought of winning over Zhao Ya.
Because he saw Zhao Ya's strength with his own eyes.
Being able to kill He Zhen and his elite gang members by himself, his strength is simply terrifying.
So when he heard that Zhao Ya and Yan Xizhao had fought a draw, he was not surprised.
Zhao Ya originally thought that he would leave after getting his share.
But now he was embarrassed to leave.
No other reason.
It was really that Yun Yuan gave too much.
This Yun Yuan was indeed born in a top family. His hand was really extraordinary, and he specifically chose his weak spot to attack, which made it impossible to refuse.
Zhao Ya naturally guessed why Yun Yuan wanted to please him so much.
It was nothing more than trying to win him over to deal with his stepmother and the younger brother born by his stepmother.
But as long as he could continue to provide him with this level of jerky, Zhao Ya didn't mind helping him.
So Zhao Ya sat down and planned to chat with Yun Yuan.
Yun Yuan was naturally overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately ordered the waiter to serve the dishes, and then said to Zhao Ya with a smile.
"Young Master Zhao, although this restaurant is not very famous, the food is quite good, especially some rare ingredients that can only be eaten here."
Soon, a table of exquisite banquets was presented in front of him.
Yun Yuan was not lying.
Zhao Ya didn't recognize most of the dishes on the banquet.
But after eating a few bites, Zhao Ya showed a little surprise.
Because these dishes actually contain abundant blood and qi, showing the good quality of the ingredients used.
"How is it? It's really not bad!" Yun Yuan smiled.
Zhao Ya nodded, and didn't say anything, eating in a whirlwind.
With Zhao Ya's appetite, he ate most of the full banquet in an instant.
After eating, Zhao Ya put down his chopsticks, drank a glass of wine, and then asked.
"How is your business?"
Hearing this, Yun Yuan also put down the cup, and the smile on his face gradually withdrew, replaced by a look of grief and indignation.
"After I came back, I found out that my father was already terminally ill and unconscious. He was just waiting for the day of his death. After I reported what happened on the road to my grandfather, my grandfather actually sided with Yun Hao and even told me not to make this matter public!"
