Cannon Fodder: Forced Counterattack

"Master Zhu is willing to give me room to bargain. Naturally, I also want to protect my best interests. This jade is also a treasure to me. If it weren't for special circumstances, I would not be willing to pawn it. What is its value? In your heart I know everything, and I can’t let myself suffer.” Ao Ran smiled, cunning but not greedy.

Master Zhu glanced at him, his shock remained unchanged, but he relaxed a little, "I'll give you another 200 taels, 500 taels, no more."

Ao Ran played with the jade in his hand, curling the corners of his lips, "One thousand eight hundred taels, no less."

The corner of Master Zhu's mouth twitched, "No, there is no need to discuss it."

Regarding his refusal, Ao Ran just pretended not to hear him, never gave in at all, coerced and lured, soft and hard, and took turns to fight. Although Master Zhu was serious and indifferent, he was considered a real person, and he was not black-hearted. Come and see me In the past, the mouth was dry and the negotiation was finally settled. As for the result, both parties were satisfied.

With 700 taels of silver bills and a few pieces of silver in his pocket, Ao Ran happily led the horse away.

With the silver, I have confidence in my heart. I have been walking for a whole day today, and I must have been far away from Jingfan, and no one has found anyone following him so far. Presumably he did not catch up. If so, today He can rest here for one night first, and then leave tomorrow.

After strolling around the night view of Mangcheng, Ao Ran is quite satisfied. Although it is not as prosperous as the Jingjia Villa, it is very lively, with everyone, all kinds of words, loud noises, and rough voices , as well as the soft laughter of women, the sound is ear-piercing, and there are all kinds of strange shops, and all kinds of novelty gadgets make people overwhelmed.Ao Ran watched the excitement for a while, then put aside his playfulness and went to work. He was going on a long journey, and he had to prepare a lot of things, especially since he didn’t know his way around. If he didn’t make preparations earlier, he might not be able to move a single step. .

The largest map shop in Mangcheng is on Xicheng Street. According to the information he inquired, this is the most chaotic place in Mangcheng. The people are more diverse than other places, and the law and order are extremely chaotic. Many gray industries are placed on the bright side here. .

Ao Ran has no internal strength now, so it is indeed more dangerous to go alone, and he didn't plan to go here, after all, there are a lot of shops selling maps.

But!After visiting three stores in a row, he had to give up—even the best map was just a bunch of abstract circles, which confused him.

The little brother who sold the news said that the map of this store on Xicheng Street was walked by someone personally, and every sign would be clearly marked, even a fool can understand it.As for why those simple to call crude maps in ordinary stores can still be sold, the little brother blinked and said - normal people can understand it.

Ao Ran: ...

Fuck you, normal people can understand it, isn't he a normal person?

The current electronic map is too troublesome, even the paper map is very detailed, and he is used to seeing those base maps, which only have an outline, which makes his head hurt.

The farther west he walked, the more Ao Ran could feel the chaos. After this short distance, he saw that there were no less than three groups of people with red faces and thick necks. The reason was that you blocked my way, or you How dare you look at the products I like?

Going deep, there were even more fights. Most of the passers-by were hiding from a distance, not squinting, obviously used to it.

Ao Ran walked around those people who looked fierce and menacing, and walked forward cautiously. The charming and revealing women on the side of the road winked at him one after another, beckoning him to go in and play, looking at the brightly lit, rich and luxurious brothel, Ao Ran ran away in a hurry with the smell of powder all over his nose, and the girls laughed after seeing him leaving in a hurry.

Seeing that "Heshan Company" is close at hand, Ao Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. This Heshan Company is the largest map shop in Mangcheng. Ao Ran is approaching, but he doesn't want something to happen suddenly——

A group of big men stood in front of him, each holding a knife, with fierce eyes, obviously coming towards him, Ao Ran couldn't help but tense, he came out of Mangcheng, no one offended, where did these people come from?People from Jingfan?

Before he could think about it, a person walked behind the group of rough men——

"Young master, stay safe and sound!"

That black hearted pawn shop owner!

Ao Ran frowned suddenly, probably not from Jing Fan, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, just chatting with the young master, seeing that you are new to the city. I have been in Mangcheng for decades, and I can be regarded as the host. I will show you the cultural scenery of Mangcheng."

Ao Ran sneered, "Is it the cultural scene of robbery in the street?"

Looking at this man's virtue, it is likely that he did not deceive Yupei, and planned to directly force him.

The shopkeeper stroked his beard and smiled, "Young master, what you said is wrong, I just invited you to drink tea and chat."

Ao Ran stared coldly, "But I don't want to drink tea, nor am I interested in chatting with you."

"Hey, I'm a person who likes to be courteous before fighting. The young master can't accept softness, so I don't mind being tough."

As soon as he finished speaking, several big men with knives behind him rushed towards him.

Ao Ran frowned even deeper, the people around seemed to be taken aback by the scene, the timid walked away in a hurry, and the bold stayed to watch the fun.

"In broad daylight, there are so many people, you're not afraid of the guards arresting you when you walk like this?" Ao Ran rolled her eyes, while procrastinating, trying to find a way. It is absolutely impossible to follow them. There is still life here, but If he is taken away by them and arrives at their territory, he will definitely be a fish on a sticky board, ready to be slaughtered.
