Volume 1 Chapter 492 House Remodeling
The old man robber looked at Li Cheng and suddenly said: "In that case, I will help you once. In fact, I still have a property at the entrance of Baxiangkou. This property was left to Xiaoyi. If one day I am too old to move, Xiaoyi can live there at Baxiangkou, where at least he doesn’t have to worry about being bullied. Now since that house is so useful to you, I will give that house to you. alright."
When Li Cheng heard what the old robber said, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Then he immediately shook his head and said, "No, Uncle Robber, I can't take your house. That house belongs to you, I can't take it."
The old man robber looked at Li Cheng and said in a deep voice: "The property I gave you was not for free. I have a request. If one day I am gone and you are still alive, or your Siyi Gang is still If it exists, I want you and your Siyi Gang to protect Xiaoyi and ensure Xiaoyi's safety, and you cannot force Xiaoyi to join the Siyi Gang unless Xiaoyi volunteers."
When Li Cheng heard what the old man robber said, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he looked at the old man robber, then nodded slowly and said: "Okay, uncle robber, I remember what you said. As long as I, Li Cheng, don't die, as long as I The Siyi Gang exists, and our Siyi Gang must protect Xiaoyi's safety. If Xiaoyi is unwilling, we will never force Xiaoyi to join the Siyi Gang, absolutely not, please don't worry, Uncle Robber."
The old man robber nodded, then waved his hand, and a piece of paper appeared in the old man's hand. The old man handed the paper to Li Cheng, turned around and left.
Li Cheng took the paper the old robber gave him, and after taking a look at the address on it, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The address the old robber gave Li Cheng was actually a house in a good location at the entrance of Eight Alleys. That house Li Cheng had seen before However, it was just an ordinary house, but the location was very good and suitable for business. He originally wanted to buy that house, but later he discovered that there was a jade sign hanging outside the house, which represented his owner. Li Cheng was in retreat, so it was hard to disturb Li Cheng, so the matter was left alone.
But he didn't expect that this house would be handed over to him now, and in this way. Li Cheng was really happy, and at the same time he was also grateful to the old robber.
He does not know the real name of the old man who is a robber. In fact, you cannot know the names of many old people living here in Shigu Lane. Their names have long been forgotten. What they have now is just a code name. That’s all.
The nickname "Old Robber" is actually because of his appearance. The appearance of "Old Robber" is really scary. If he had practiced to his level, such an injury should have been cured long ago, but it was obvious that the person who hurt him back then He was not a weak person, so his injuries could not be cured. Although he finally healed, the meridians there were completely destroyed, leaving horrific scars.
It is precisely because of his appearance that he got the name "Old Robber", but everyone who knows him knows that he is a hard-faced person with a soft heart. He is very powerful, but his heart is very soft.
When Li Cheng lived here in Shigu Lane, he had always stayed at the Return Hotel, so he was very familiar with the Return Hotel and had a good relationship with the old man. However, he did not expect that one day the old man would Give him such a nice house.
However, Li Cheng also knew that no thanks could be expressed in words for a great favor. If he wanted to repay the favor to the old man who was a robber, he would just need to prove it with more actions in the future, instead of just talking about it.
When he thought of this, Li Cheng immediately put away the house deed, then turned to everyone and said: "Okay, now that the house is available, we will go over and renovate the house immediately. Let's go."
The others were also very happy and immediately followed Li Cheng out. Zhongyi soon arrived at the entrance of Eight Alleys and found the house. Although this house was an ordinary private house, it occupied a large area. , there are two large courtyards at the front and back, and there are three houses in the middle, a main house, plus left and right side rooms.
Li Cheng and the others came to the yard and looked around. The yard was quite nice and large enough. Li Cheng immediately said to the others: "You guys should leave the city right away and collect more stones and wood. We need to Build a facade in front to do business. I will go to Bahuan City to report it now. If we don’t report it, our store will not be able to open."
The other people immediately responded, then turned around and left, and Li Cheng also turned around and left the yard, heading straight towards the Eight Fantasy City.
The location of Bahuan City is in the center of Baxiangkou. It is a city within a city. To be precise, it is a castle-like building. It looks very beautiful from the outside. What it looks like inside, but there are very few people there. I know, because very few people can enter the Eight Fantasy City.
Although there is no moat outside Bahuan City, there is still a city wall. There is also a row of houses outside the city wall. That row of houses is where Bahuan City operates. People here at Baxiangkou can come here if they have anything to do. Report it and Bahuan City will take care of it.
Li Cheng had been around Wangyue City for a long time, so he naturally knew the situation here in Bahuan City, so he came to the row of houses with familiarity, looked at the row of houses, and found that there were no signs outside the row of houses. He didn't read any obvious prompts and went straight into a room.
There is a long bar in this room, and five monks are sitting behind the bar. These five monks are all wearing ordinary gray monk uniforms. They are not very strong, and they don't have any overly arrogant expressions on their faces.
Li Cheng did not dare to neglect, he immediately bowed to the monks and said: "Hello everyone, I am the owner of No. 57 Jiazi Street. I want to open a restaurant in No. 57 Yard. , I don’t know if it’s okay?”
One of those monks looked at Li Cheng and said with a smile: "This gentleman please come here to speak. Courtyard No. 57 on Jiazi Street, I remember it is the property of an old gentleman, right? Why? Has it become yours?"
Li Cheng said with a smile: "The old man gave it to me. I have some friendship with the old man, and I want to do business here in Wangyue City. There are not many places in Wangyue City where people can do business with peace of mind. Eight The alley entrance is the most suitable place, so I wanted to do business here at the entrance of Eight Alleys, but unfortunately, I never found a house before I left. Later, my uncle gave me his house. , it’s the courtyard at No. 57, Jiazi Street, but that courtyard is only suitable for people to live in. If I want to build a restaurant, it needs to be renovated, so I wanted to report it here. "
The monk nodded and said: "That's it, yes, you can do business in that house, but you should also know that here in Wangyue City, doing business is the same as establishing a power. You have to hand over eight to us every year. Huancheng has ten thousand jade spirits, so we won’t care what you do in Courtyard No. 57, but even if you want to develop your own power, the number of people in your power cannot exceed one hundred, at least in Courtyard No. 57 There can’t be a hundred people there, do you understand?”
Li Cheng immediately said: "Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, sir, I won't let him mess around."
The monk nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Very good, just understand. As long as you can do business here in the alley without causing trouble, we will not care about you, but if you dare to take the initiative If we find out about attacking others, we will not take it lightly."
Li Cheng said quickly: "Please rest assured, sir, it won't happen. Frankly speaking, I have indeed formed a force. You should also know that there is no force here in Wangyue City. It is impossible to survive. But we are just I want to protect my property and don’t want to cause trouble, so please don’t worry.”
The monk nodded and said: "It's good that you know. You can hand over ten thousand jade essences now and pay them at this time tomorrow. If someone gives you trouble this year, you can report it to us and we will help you solve it." .”
Li Cheng nodded, took out a space bag and handed it to the monk: "This is ten thousand jade essences. Please keep it, sir."
The monk took the space bag, looked inside with his mental strength, and then nodded. Then he took out a jade token and gave it to Li Chengdao: "Take this jade token, if we are from the Eight Fantasy City, go there in the future." If he's looking for you, just take out the jade plaque and show it to him." Li Cheng responded, the monk waved his hand, and Li Cheng turned around and left.
When he returned to the yard, he found that the others had not returned yet. Li Cheng glanced around, then recalled the appearance of the restaurant Zhao Hai asked him to build. He started to tear down all the walls on one side of the yard and started digging with magic. He was a teleportation monk. It didn't take long for the foundation to be dug. At this time, everyone else also came back. As soon as those people came back and saw the dug foundation, they immediately understood that Li It seemed that there was absolutely no problem in building the store, and those people were very happy. One of them immediately directed everyone to start building the house.
The man who directed everyone to build the house was called Wu Yun. This man was also in the teleportation state. Of course, he was selected by Zhao Hai. In addition to being very reliable, he was also a good architect. In fact, the ten people selected by Zhao Hai were all Everyone has their own strengths. Wu Yun is an architect. Among these people there is also an alchemist and a weapon refiner. One of them is more proficient in the battle method. Although their knowledge of these things is not the best among the Siyi Gang. It's top-notch, but it's fine for use here.
The monks built the house very quickly, but the house Li Yun and the others built was still a bit troublesome. Wu Yun had received Zhao Hai's instructions before coming to Wangyuexing. The house they built must contain a magic circle underneath. It worked, so they didn't build the house very quickly. One day passed, but they had just laid the foundation.
In the evening, Li Yun and the others returned to the Return Hotel to rest. Li Yun wanted to treat the old man robber to a drink to thank him, but the old man robber did not agree. Although Li Yun was a little disappointed, he couldn't say anything.
The next day, Li Yun and the others went to Courtyard No. 57. Within a day, a three-story building had been erected, and it was very beautiful.
