„Under Storekeeper, youcome.”Yang Kaibeckonstohim.
“掌柜的,你过来下。.”杨开冲他招了招手。Hehas been watching criticallya moment ago, does not know that exactlywhat happened, thereforewantsto inquire, howafter all to sayagain, herewithsomeHigh Heaven Sectreluctantlyalsorelations.
他刚才一直在冷眼旁观,也不知道到底发生了什么事,所以想打探一下,毕竟再怎么说,这里跟凌霄宗勉强也有些关系。„What does guesthaveto tell? Butalsowantsonsomefood and wine?”In front ofthatStorekeeperarrivingYang Kai, squeezes a smileto ask.
“客人有什么吩咐?可是还要上些酒菜?”那掌柜的来到杨开面前,强挤出一丝微笑问道。„Food and wineis not anxious.”Yang Kaishows a faint smile, the doubttakes a looktoward the stairway: „Who a moment agothattwo were? Howtheycomethisrestaurantto eat mealto drink, not onlydoes not needto pay money, insteadalsowantsyouto giveSaint Crystal?”
“酒菜不急。”杨开微微一笑,狐疑朝楼梯口瞅了瞅:“刚才那两个是什么人?怎么他们来这酒楼吃饭喝酒,不但不用付钱,反而还要你给圣晶?”„This......”Storekeeperfacestunned, looks around, discovered that theseguestsare drinking wineto make music, has not paid attention toheremeaning, thislowered the sound saying: „GuestisbeginningBlue Wave City?”
“这……”掌柜的一脸愕然,东张西望一番,发现那些宾客都在饮酒作乐,并没有关注这边的意思,这才压低了声音道:“客人是初来碧波城的吧?”„Good.”Yang Kainodsgently.
“不错。”杨开轻轻颔首。„Youwalkearlier, Blue Wave Cityis not the long-term place.” A face of Storekeepermakes every effort to keep secret, said, beckons with the handagain and again.
“那你还是早点走吧,碧波城不是久留之地。”掌柜的一脸讳莫如深,说完之后连连摆手。„Isn't the long-term place?” A Yang Kaibrowwrinkle, „whataccidentcould it be that can herehave?”
“不是久留之地?”杨开眉头一皱,“难道这里要发生什么变故?”Heseesinthiscitycrowded, appearsquitelivelylively . Moreover the situation in city is also uneventful, does not seem to probablyhave the indication of important matter.
他见这城池中人来人往,显得颇为热闹繁华,而且城内的局势也都是风平浪静,似乎没有要发生大事的征兆。„Hehe......”Storekeeperforced smile, „guestyoulistens tosmalloldoneto urge, the words that mustleavehurry, iftreatedherefor a long time, wantsto walkcannot get away.”
“呵呵……”掌柜的苦笑一声,“客人你就听小老儿一声劝,要离开的话就赶紧吧,若是在这里待久了,想走都走不了了。”„What do you mean, but alsoinvitedStorekeeperwordsexplanationwhite spot.” The Yang Kaivisionbrilliantis looking athim, „Iheard that hereisBattle Sky Cityattached, calculates that is the industry of High Heaven Sect, howalso do somepeopledare the cityto be disadvantageous?”
“什么意思,还请掌柜的把话说明白点。”杨开目光灼灼地望着他,“我听说这里是战天城的附属,算下来就是凌霄宗的产业,怎么还有人敢对此城不利么?”„Cannotsay, cannotsay, althoughsmalloldfewyear of good work, butdoes not want dead early, guestyouas one likes.”Unceasingshaking the head of Storekeeper, the complexionis ugly, was so sayingthenmustturn aroundto leave.
“不能说了,不能说了,小老儿虽没几年好活,可也不想这么早死,客人你自便吧。”掌柜的不断摇头,脸色难看,这般说着便要转身离开。„Iam the High Heaven Sectperson!”Yang Kaisaid solemnly.
“我是凌霄宗的人!”杨开沉声道。„What?” The complexionbig change of thatStorekeeper, is looking atYang Kaistunned.
“什么?”那掌柜的脸色大变,神情错愕地望着杨开。„So should not be anxious.”Yang Kailaughed, „IamHigh Heaven Sectdisciple, results inSect Masterto maketo comethisto investigate both openly and secretlyspecially, elderly manyou , if there is wordsmight as wellto speak frankly, Iwantto knowwhichsuspicionlifehaslongdaresnot to placein the eyemyHigh Heaven Sect.”
“别这么紧张。”杨开呵呵一笑,“我是凌霄宗的弟子,得宗主令特意来此明察暗访,老人家你若是有话不妨直说,我很想知道是不是有哪个嫌命长的敢不把我凌霄宗放在眼中。”„Are youHigh Heaven Sect? Really are youHigh Heaven Sect?” A face of Storekeeperis excited, somewhatsuspected,approached, urgentlyaskedin a low voice.
“你是凌霄宗的?你真是凌霄宗的?”掌柜的一脸激动,又有些怀疑,凑近了过来,低声急问。„Yes! The elderly manfelt relieved, yourwordshad/leftyourmouth, enteredmyear, Iwill not speak irresponsiblyeverywhere.” The Yang Kaigentle voicecomforts, temptsearnestlygood.
“是!老人家放心好了,你的话出得你口,进得我耳,我不会到处乱说的。”杨开柔声宽慰,谆谆善诱。ThatStorekeeperlookfluctuates, seems likeinhesitantanything, some little timeclenches teeth, satopposite ofYang Kai.
那掌柜的神色变幻起来,似乎是在犹豫些什么,好一会才一咬牙,在杨开对面坐了下来。Yang Kaiput out a handto givehimto pour: liquor, Storekeepercarriedoneto drink, the strong liquorstrongpersonguts, fermented the mood, heopened the mouthto say the cup„Guesthasnot to know,Imakeyouhurryto depart, somenotpeoplemustbe disadvantageoustoHigh Heaven Sect, is notBlue Wave Citymusthavewhataccident, is really hereis not the place that the persontreats.”杨开伸手给他倒了杯酒,掌柜的端起一口饮下,烈酒壮人胆,酝酿起情绪,他才开口道:“客人有所不知,我让你赶紧离去,并非有人要对凌霄宗不利,也不是碧波城要发生什么变故,实在是这里不是人待的地方啊。”„Oh?thatwhat's the matteralsoasked the elderly manto informin detail, the boywas deeply grateful.”Yang Kaishows a faint smile.
“哦?那到底怎么回事还请老人家详细告知,小子感激不尽。”杨开微微一笑。„Yeah, is a long story!”Storekeeperdeeplysighed, „guestyoualsosawthattwo peopleaffectiona moment ago.”
“哎,一言难尽!”掌柜的深深地叹了口气,“客人你刚才也看到那两人的作态了。”„Good, who theyare.”
“不错,他们是什么人。”„City Lord's Mansion.”
“城主府的。”„City Lord's Mansion?”Yang Kaiwith astonishmentagain and again.
“城主府?”杨开惊愕连连。„Hehe, does the guestalsofind itstrange? City Lord's Mansionprotectsour these peopleby rights ought, whycancome to the shopto plunderto exploitSaint Crystal?” The Storekeepertoneis low and deep, „, becausethatis the tax revenue that City Lord's Mansionmustlevy!”
“呵呵,客人也觉得奇怪吧?城主府理当是保护我们这些人,可为什么会来小店搜刮剥削圣晶?”掌柜的语气低沉,“因为那是城主府要征收的税收!”
A Yang Kaibrowwrinkle.杨开眉头一皱。„The shop that as long asoperatesinBlue Wave City, the obtainedincome, musthave70%to turn to City Lord's Mansionat least, the otherthreecostscamealsoreluctantlyvariousenoughexpenses, butis also out of controlthesepeopleto seek forvarioustypesto cometo exploitby, the shopwas weak, could not revolt, firstsaidin the childshopalso dead individual.” The complaint of Storekeeper, seems like the reason that drinks, the couragewas also bigger, during the speeches, the lookalsobecomesresentful.
“但凡在碧波城内经营的店铺,所得收益,最起码也要有70%上缴给城主府,余下的三成本来也勉强够各种开销了,但也禁不住那些人寻找各种由头前来盘剥啊,小店势单力孤,根本反抗不得,前些曰子店里还死了个人。”掌柜的抱怨起来,似乎是喝了点酒的缘故,胆子也大了很多,说话间,神色也变得愤懑起来。„Is this meaning of City Lord's Mansion?” The Yang Kaicoldsoundasked.
“这是城主府的意思?”杨开寒声问道。„Good! Otherwise do theseperson of wherehave such bigcouragesoto handle affairs? Thattwo peoplewascollected taxesa moment ago.”
“不错!要不然那些人哪有这么大的胆子如此行事?刚才那两人就是来收税的。”„Sincethisplacetax revenuesuch, whyOld Misterdoes not leaveBlue Wave City, seeks another means of livelihood?”
“既然此地税收如此之多,老先生为什么不离开碧波城,另谋生路?”Storekeeperforced smile: „Whocanleave? No onecanleave! Oncehadfleeingby the persondiscovery of City Lord's Mansion, mustkillwithout the amnesty, thesehead that in the city wallhangsmaybe the bloodylessons, not only the business of ourthesepamphletsmalladvantagestied uphere, is occupied by the littlefamiliesandmartial artistincityisso, theyexperience dangers various incomes of outsideyielding, mustturn ina large part oftax revenues, so long asthere is a resistance, will aim, severallittlefamilieshad exterminated an entire family.”掌柜的苦笑一声:“谁能离开?没人可以离开的!一旦被城主府的人发现有逃离者,必杀无赦,城墙上挂的那些人头可都是血淋淋的教训,不但我们这些小本小利的商家被捆缚在这里,所有居住在城内的小家族和武者们都是如此,他们在外历险获得的各种收益,也是要上缴很大一部分税收的,只要有反抗的,都会被针对,已经有好几个小家族被灭门了。”Duringspeeches, Storekeeperlooked under Yang Kaicautiously, askedin a soft voice: „Littleelder brother, smalloldaskedonewith great courage, wasn't this instruction that High Heaven Sectissued?”
说话间,掌柜的小心翼翼地看了下杨开,轻声问道:“小哥,小老儿斗胆问一声,这不是凌霄宗下达的指令吧?”„How will High Heaven Sectissuethisinstruction?” The Yang Kaicomplexionis ugly, cold snortsaid: „MyHigh Heaven Sectwill not dothismatter. Em, Battle Sky City? No matterBattle Sky City?”
“凌霄宗怎么会下达这种指令?”杨开脸色难看,冷哼道:“我凌霄宗不会做这种事的。恩,战天城呢?战天城不管么?”„Smalloldalsonot clear, butBattle Sky City, ifmanages, should nothavethesematters, Ido not know that thisis the meaning of Battle Sky City, is the meaning of Blue Wave CityCity Lord's Mansion.

“小老儿也不清楚,不过战天城要是管的话,也不应该发生这些事,我就是不知道这是战天城的意思,还是碧波城城主府的意思。不过我倒是听说,战天城那边自从易主之后,税收便特别低,吸引了很多人前往,只不过如今那里人满为患。许多人都被凌霄宗的名头吸引,想要加入其中却不得其门而入,战天城也进不去,只能退而求其次,前往与凌霄宗有关联的地方,碧波城就是其中之一。外人看不清隐藏在碧波城底下的阴险黑暗,可小老儿却再清楚不过了,所以我才让你早点离开啊,你若是在这里住久了,被纳入名册之中,到时候想走都走不了了。”„Interesting!”Yang Kaisneeredgets up.
“有意思!”杨开嘿嘿冷笑起来。„Littleelder brother, sinceyoupresented the High Heaven SectSect Mastercommandto come tohereto investigate both openly and secretly, thathurriedto pass on the news, smalloldis hopingyourHigh Heaven Sectsaid the personearly, the malignant tumorexcision of Blue Wave City, enablingsmalloldhere the peacefulremaining years of life!” A faceperiodwing of StorekeeperlookstowardYang Kai.
“小哥,既然你是奉了凌霄宗宗主令来这里明察暗访,那就赶紧把消息传回去,小老儿盼着你们凌霄宗早曰来人,将碧波城的毒瘤摘除,让小老儿能在这里安度余生!”掌柜的一脸期翼地朝杨开望去。„Old Misterfelt relieved, thismattermyHigh Heaven Sectwill not sit by and do nothing.”Yang Kaicracks into a smile, „, no matter howsaid,herehasmanypeopleto cometo the High Heaven Sectreputation, cannotmakethembe bullied, otherwisealsoreallydiscreditsmyHigh Heaven Sectreputation.”
“老先生放心好了,这事我凌霄宗不会坐视不管的。”杨开咧嘴一笑,“不管怎么说,这里有很多人是冲着凌霄宗的名头来的,怎么也不能让他们受欺负了,要不然也实在败坏我凌霄宗的声誉。”„Littleelder brotherdo not impulse.”Storekeeperseesin the Yang Kaieye the twinklingominouslight, has a scare.
“小哥可不要冲动啊。”掌柜的看出杨开眼中闪烁的凶光,不禁吓了一跳。„Relax, myowndiscretion.” The Yang Kaivisionwoodsare cold.
“放心,我自有分寸。”杨开目光森寒起来。If not forthis time the accident of sorts, hehas not known that unexpectedlysomepeoplego against the High Heaven Sectreputationto makethesedeals.这一次若不是机缘巧合,他还不知道居然有人顶着凌霄宗的名头来做这些勾当。Yang Kairememberssuddenly, came backon the road that from the ocean waves, when thatcalledFei'eryoung femalementioned the Blue Wave Citysituationsomewhatto start to speak but hesitate, originallyhadthisreason.杨开忽然想起,从碧波原回来的路上,那叫菲儿的少女说起碧波城的情况时有些欲言又止,原来是有这层原因的。High Heaven Sectrisetimeis too short, the Inner Sectdisciplequantityis scarce, the foundationis not steady, nowwins over the will of the peopletime, the Blue Wave Citysituationis actually givingHigh Heaven Sectto discredit, Yang Kainaturallycannotsit by and do nothing.凌霄宗的崛起时间太短,宗内弟子数量稀少,根基不稳,如今正是拉拢人心的时候,碧波城的情况却在给凌霄宗抹黑,杨开自然不能坐视不理。At this moment, the understreethears a clamoringnoisesuddenly, at once, a fluctuation of energy, thenhasto call out in alarmandcall out pitifullyunconstrainedly.
就在这时,下方街道忽然传来一阵喧哗吵闹声,旋即,一股能量波动跌宕而起,紧接着便有惊呼和惨叫。Yang Kaitowardunderlooksfollowinglocation/position that the soundoriginates, greenclothesyoung femaleprints the viewimmediately, lightwell.杨开顺着声音来源的位置朝下方望去,一个绿衣少女立刻印入眼帘,不禁轻咦了一声。„Old Mister, the tipreceived.”Yang Kaithrows downseveralhigh-rankSaint Crystalconveniently, graspswine pot, jumpedto jumpfrom the window.
“老先生,酒钱收好了。”杨开随手丢下几块上品圣晶,抓起一个酒坛子,纵身从窗户跳了下去。Streetcentralplace, before a grocery store, 34young peoplelooksstandthereindignantly, the visionlooksscarlettoopposite partytwo people, Saint Yuanrevolves, the secretalert, actuallydoes not dareeasilyto begin.
街道中央处,一家杂货店前,三四个年轻人神色激愤地站在那里,目光赤红地望向对方两人,一身圣元运转,暗暗戒备,却不敢轻易动手。Intheseyoung peoplebehind, greenclothesyoung femaleis supporting by the arm an old man, the old manas ifreceived the heavyinjury, looks deathly pale, near the corners of the mouthalsohasfresh bloodto flow out.
在这几个年轻人身后,一个绿衣少女正搀扶着一个老者,那老者似乎受了不轻的伤势,脸色惨白,嘴角边还有鲜血流出。Countlesspeoplesurroundin the one side.
无数人在一旁围观。„Second Uncle are youall right?”Greenclothesyoung femalenervously asked that onelegantface a worryingcolor.
“二叔你没事吧?”绿衣少女紧张地问道,俏脸上一片担忧之色。„All right.” The old manshakes the headslowly, puts outtwocharacterscrabbedly.
“没事。”那老者缓缓摇头,艰涩地吐出两个字。„How can youhit the person?”Thatgreenclothesyoung femalehas turned the head, drinkstenderlytotwomartial artist that beforebegan.
“你们怎么能打人?”那绿衣少女转过头,冲之前动手的两个武者娇喝起来。„Hits the person?”Andtall and powerfully builtmalehears did word, laughed, „hit the person?

“打人?”其中一个身材魁梧的男子闻言,嘿嘿一笑,“打人又怎么了?谁让这老家伙不识抬举,老子没要他的命,已是手下留情,你这小丫头不感激老子就算了,居然还敢指责我,你信不信我现在就杀了他!”„You......”greenclothesyoung femaleelegantfaceonewhite, after all the strengthis not high, the ageis also small, by an opposite partysuchthreat, is not daredto sayanythingimmediately, for fear that the opposite partyreallybecomes angry out of shame, underpainkiller.
“你……”绿衣少女俏脸一白,毕竟实力不高,年纪又小,被对方这么一恐吓,当即不敢多说什么了,生怕对方真的恼羞成怒,痛下杀手。„Snort, City Masterhas the command, as long astradesobtainedSaint Crystal to probablypayparttoCity Lord's Mansion, how, the old fogyyouweredeaforblind, unexpectedlydaresto tradesecretly, if were not graspedpresentby the father, onlyfeared that has not knownyou were so unexpectedly bold!”
“哼,城主有令,但凡交易所得圣晶皆得缴纳一部分给城主府,怎么,老家伙你是聋了还是瞎了,居然敢偷偷与人交易,若非被老子抓个现行,只怕还不知道你们居然如此胆大包天!”„Daresto disregard the command of City Lord's Mansion, old fogyyourliveis impatient.”Anotherpersonalsomeasured the geodesyto smileYin.
“敢无视城主府之令,老家伙你活的不耐烦了。”另一人也阴测测地笑了起来。

那老者脸色铁青,却不敢有丝毫反驳,围观之人虽多,也不敢有任何异动,只不过在望向那老者和少女等一行人的时候,都面露同情之色。

这种现象,在碧波城内已经司空见惯。Old manoneline of this timeluckare not good, was bumped intoby the City Lord's Mansionpersonaccidentally, finallysuffers a loss.
老者一行人这一次运气不好,就被城主府的人无意中撞见了,结果吃了大亏。took a deep breath, old manlookdignifiedlyholds the fist saying: „two, is notIand othersdisregarded the command of City Lord's Mansion, originallythistimetrades is also the preparationpaysSaint Crystal, butdoes not havewith enough time.”深吸一口气,那老者神色凝重地抱拳道:“两位,并非我等无视城主府之令,本来这次交易完也是准备去缴纳圣晶的,只不过没来得及罢了。”„old thingsaidactuallyof pleasant to hear, hey hey, does not knowhowto thinkat heart.”ThatGreat Han/big personwill not believethiswordsobviously.( To be continued.)
“老东西说的倒是好听,嘿嘿,就是不知道心里怎么想的了。”那大汉显然不会相信这种话。(未完待续。)
