Chapter 283 Deprivation

The owner of Mipu is a gentle middle-aged man with fair skin and gentle appearance.

Much like a scholar.

But Zhang Yuan could tell at a glance that the opponent had the third-level cultivation strength.

And it has reached the peak level.

It only takes one final step to break through the bottleneck and open up the sea of ​​qi!

The owner of Mipu knew Zhang Yuan's origins, so after meeting him he saluted very politely and asked: "Master Protector, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I want to buy rice."

Zhang Yuan said straight to the point: "Give porridge to the hungry people inside and outside the city!"

The owner of Mipu was immediately stunned: "Master Protector, are you kidding me?"

Nowadays, there is a shortage of food inside and outside Xiaxu, and the price of rice is rising steadily, resulting in hungry people everywhere and many beggars.

It’s not like there aren’t wealthy families who come forward to do good deeds.

But there are really no individuals like Zhang Yuan who have spent their own money to provide relief.

After all, food prices are so high!

Zhang Yuan replied in a deep voice: "Zhao doesn't like to joke."

"My lord, forgive me!"

The owner of the rice shop apologized quickly and asked, "How much grain do you plan to buy?"

Zhang Yuan did not answer directly, but asked: "How many do you have?"

Currently he holds tens of thousands of taels of silver notes in his hand.

There is no place to spend!

So since we have decided to give out porridge, we will definitely not create a small scene.

The owner of Mipu smiled and said, "You can have as much as you want!"

The owner of Mipu is not bragging, but as long as he has enough money and his own inventory is not enough, he can borrow it from other merchants or even buy grain from Damengze.

No problem at all!

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since you are giving out porridge to charity and doing good deeds, you can give me a 50% discount on the price!"

The profits of Mipu are actually not high.

The owner of Mipu mainly wanted to have a good relationship with Zhang Yuan.

"good."

Zhang Yuan nodded, took out a five thousand tael silver note from his pocket and placed it on the table: "This is the deposit. I want to buy 30,000 tael of food."

"In addition, I would like to ask your store to help with the porridge soup. All related expenses will be paid by me."

"By the way, this matter must be handled in the name of Yuanshi Tianwang!"

The owner of Mipu was happy at first, and then stunned.

The sale of 30,000 taels of silver is really a big business. If done properly, Mihang can make a lot of money.

It is not a problem at all to open a porridge shed with a rice shop.

Now you don’t have to spend money to hire people, and you can recruit a large number of people just by giving them food.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Yuan actually wanted to do good deeds and accumulate virtue in the name of Yuanshi Heavenly King.

What is that distant picture?

Zhang Yuan looked at the other party and asked, "Is there any problem?"

The owner of Mipu came to his senses and quickly replied: "No, it's absolutely no problem."

If you give out porridge in the name of the Yuanshi Heavenly King, the Palace of Heavenly Kings will not have any objections.

Even happy to see the results.

Because this is to gather trust for the King of Heaven!

He couldn't help but added: "Sir, actually there is also a soup kitchen in Tianwang Palace."

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Just do as I say."

The idea of ​​giving out rice porridge came to me when I saw hungry people everywhere on the road.

In the name of the Yuanshi Heavenly King, it was Zhang Yuan who repaid this god's favor.

When he received a blessing in the Heavenly King's Palace, Xuancheng took a new look at him and joined the outer palace as a protector.

There was a series of fate that followed.

Zhang Yuan felt grateful.

So this time it’s my wish!

Seeing Zhang Yuan's persistence, the owner of Mipu naturally had no objection.

After the two agreed on the specific implementation plan, Zhang Yuan left Mipu and went to the Temple of the Heavenly King.

In the past few months, he has been practicing in seclusion at home.

I haven’t been to the Tianwang Palace yet this year.

As a result, as soon as Zhang Yuan arrived at the outer hall, he was blocked by Taoist Xuanyong, the steward of the outer hall.

"Guardian Zhao, you came at the right time."

Taoist Xuanyong took out a letter and gave it to him: "I was about to send you a letter. This is a task assigned to you by the inner palace."

A task assigned by the Inner Temple?

Zhang Yuan was very surprised. He took the letter and read it.

The content of this letter is very simple.

He, the guardian of the outer palace, was ordered to hunt down a moon-watching bear king within half a month.

Take the bear bile and come back to do business!

Moon Bear King?

Zhang Yuan had never heard of this name before, but he knew at a glance that it was no ordinary ferocious beast.

So where does he hunt?

Taiwu Mountain?

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

The time turned out to be only half a month.

It’s simply baffling!

And Zhang Yuan could feel the malice contained in this so-called inner palace delegation.

Xuan Xin!

He suspected that this was a hole dug by the other party for him.

Nine times out of ten, it’s a big pit!

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and returned the Taoist letter in his hand to Xuanyong resolutely: "I'm sorry, I'm injured. I have to recuperate at home these days, so I can't complete this task."

"ah?"

Xuanyong obviously didn't know the truth, and was stunned for a moment: "What should we do?"

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Please return it to the inner hall. Besides, I am only the protector of the outer hall, not the inner hall."

Xuancheng had told him at the beginning that the guardians of the outer palace were in the nature of guest officials and did not have many restrictions.

Then he definitely has the right to refuse!

Xuanyong seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.

He looked at Zhang Yuan deeply, and then said: "Protector Zhao, please wait for a moment, I will go to the inner hall to report now."

After that, Xuan Yong left in a hurry.

Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he took out his protector nameplate from his arms and exchanged all the Taoist skills in it.

He had earned a lot of Taoist skills before, and there were still some left after exchanging for "Wind and Cloud Nine Swords".

Now all of them were exchanged for talismans.

Not a single Taoist skill was left!

The talismans of the Heavenly King Hall are hard currency in Xiaxu, and it is very easy and convenient to sell them.

You can also keep them for personal use.

Just after Zhang Yuan exchanged the Taoist skills, a Taoist with a face full of flesh rushed to the outer hall accompanied by Xuan Yong.

When the Taoist saw Zhang Yuan, he immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Zhao Yun, the guardian, why did you refuse the task assigned by the inner hall?"

Xuan Yong on the side introduced: "This is Xuan Ji, the steward of the inner hall."

Zhang Yuan smiled coldly: "When does the outer hall guardian have to complete the task assigned by the inner hall?"

Xuan Ji's eyes twitched, and he said in an evil voice: "This is the decree of the inner hall. As the guardian of the outer hall, you must execute it. There is no room for bargaining, otherwise..."

He looked grimly: "It is regarded as disobedience and must be expelled from the hall!"

Sure enough, it was calculated like this!

Zhang Yuan was clear in his mind.

Xuan Xin had previously calculated him through Wuwei Gate but failed, and he had come up with a new trick until now.

The first step is to kick him out of the Heavenly King Hall and deprive him of his status as a guardian.

Then proceed to the next step.

Now Xuan Cheng has not yet come out of retreat, and Han Zixun has gone to Qianjing. Zhang Yuan is isolated and helpless in the Heavenly King Hall, and can't find anyone to speak for him.

Zhang Yuan shook his head and threw the guardian nameplate in his hand to Xuan Yong: "No need to fire me, I will leave on my own."

He did not value the identity of the outer hall guardian very much, mainly for the exchange of skills.

Now Zhang Yuan has mastered enough skills to enter the Qi realm.

Naturally, it doesn't matter!

He turned around and left without any nostalgia.
