"Little Brother Patrol, we are all out for a walk. Why do you have to force me? Since we're fated to meet, why don't we do this? I'm willing to compensate you for the time you wasted because of me. What do you think, little brother? "
After being intimidated by Yang Rui, the old Taoist frowned for a while, thinking about the pros and cons. Finally, he pursed his lips and looked at Yang Rui again, as if he had made a big decision.
Oh? Compensation? Yang Rui did not expect this. He originally thought that he could dig out some information about the yellow turban from the old Taoist, or the distribution of power in the camp of the bandits at Ao Lai Mountain Pass, or something that would be helpful in the future. Then, he would hand the old Taoist over to the County Commandant's Office. It would be a great achievement for the County Commandant's Office!
"Hmph, how could this Patrol Inspector care about your mere bribes!"
Yang Rui continued to pester him, as if he did not care. In fact, Yang Rui also wanted to see how much the old Taoist would pay. If he paid a hundred gold coins as a ransom, it would be worth his hard work these days.
The old man was shrewd. When he realized that Yang Rui did not completely reject him, the yellow-turban old Taoist begged for mercy in a low voice, "Little brother, let's talk nicely. Can you untie the rope on me now?"
The old Taoist did not have any skills, and now that he was in the primary level of the mountain village, nothing would go wrong even if he was untied. Yang Rui gave a look to Chen Ping, who had been standing next to him, and asked him to untie the rope on the old Taoist.
With a swoosh, Chen Ping pulled out a large saber from his waist and strode toward the yellow-turban old Daoist who was kneeling on the ground.
"You … What are you doing? Ah! "
With one slash, Chen Ping cut the dead knot behind the yellow-turban old Taoist, and the rope fell to the ground. However, the old Taoist was frightened. He was not sure of Chen Ping's intention and thought that he would be finished if the knife cut him!
Although it was a false alarm, the old Taoist's face was full of sweat, and his eyes were still full of confusion and despair.
If the old Taoist was in the mood to bargain and quibble with Yang Rui before, it could be said that the knife made him completely understand the situation! The current situation was like a fish on a chopping block. He suddenly realized that he didn't even have the slightest guarantee of survival. Yang Rui could finish him off with a single slash. He didn't even need to be sent to the County Commandant's office to give him an explanation!
"Thank you, Little Brother Patrol!"
It took a while for the yellow-turban old Taoist to come to his senses. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeves and cupped his fists to express his gratitude.
"Little brother, this is a small token of appreciation from this old Daoist. I'll give it to your soldiers to pay for their wine."
After he calming down, the old Taoist in's Yellow Taoist hurriedly and handed a gold coin from his sleeve, to Yang to Yang Rui.
Yang Rui did not take the handful of gold coins from the old Daoist priest. The old Daoist priest could only place the handful of gold coins on the table beside Yang Rui.
However, the old Taoist really gave a lot. Yang Rui glanced at the small pile of gold coins. There were at least ten or twenty gold coins, which was ten or twenty gold coins. If converted to copper coins, it would be multiplied by ten thousand! It was a lot more than the game coins Yang Rui used to exchange for consumption points!
However, Yang Rui was not as strapped as before. The village's liquidity was about a few dozen gold coins. The money the old Taoist took out was only the village's income for three or four days!
Therefore, Yang Rui did not show that he was moved. If this money was used as compensation for Yang Rui waiting for him for three or four days, then it was more or less enough. However, if he wanted to use it as capital to redeem himself, then it was far from enough!
The old Taoist in's Yellow Taoist was smart. When he saw Yang Rui's indifferent look, he took out a talisman from his sleeve and placed it on the table for Yang Rui.
"Little brother Patrol, I am not good at anything. The amount of money I have accumulated is limited. I hope you don't mind! This Thunder Fire Talisman was given to me by the Minister of Peace after I made a great contribution. It is very rare and precious, and may be of great use at a critical moment. Please accept it, Little Brother Patrol Officer! "
There was indeed more! Yang Rui muttered to himself as he picked up the talisman on the table. This thing was really hard to come by. If ten or twenty gold coins were nothing in Yang Rui's eyes, then he would not let go of this talisman!
"Thunder Fire Talisman: Peace Road Talisman. When activated, it can cause indiscriminate thunder and fire damage within a 10m * 10m radius! Usage limit: 1\ 1. "
After checking the Thunder Fire Talisman, Yang Rui threw it into his backpack. Looking at the Thunder Fire Talisman's attributes, he knew that its effects were extraordinary. Yang Rui was still very concerned about it!
Yang Rui had previously obtained a 'Good Teacher Medicine King's Disease Curing Talisman'. It was a good item for curing illnesses and saving lives. Yang Rui had always kept it carefully. Now that he had obtained an offensive talisman, he was naturally very happy.
"Old Taoist! Don't tell me you think that by taking out a piece of talisman, you can make me forgive you?! " Yang Rui was very happy in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. "You people from the Peace Road like to use talisman paper and talisman water to fool the common people. But I won't fall for it!"
The old Daoist priest had been eagerly watching Yang Rui put away the talisman. In his heart, he had been sighing at Yang Rui's knowledge of goods. He did not expect Yang Rui to immediately say such a thing. The old Daoist priest was at a loss.
"This …"
"My lord, there are dozens of thugs at the checkpoint. They are clamoring to pass through the checkpoint. I don't know what to do. My lord, please make a decision!"
At this moment, Wang Tao came in from outside and hurriedly reported an unexpected piece of news to Yang Rui.
"Thugs? Let's go! Let's go take a look! "
Thugs? The bandits at the entrance of the Gourd Valley were basically under Yang Rui's control. How could there be any thugs?! Yang Rui quickly thought of a possibility and quickly walked towards the parapet wall at the edge of the checkpoint.
"Little Brother Patrol, I …"
The moment Yang Rui left, the yellow-scarved old Taoist became anxious and wanted to remind Yang Rui.
"Oh, right! Let's settle this old Taoist down first. Watch him closely! "
After being reminded, Yang Rui instantly stopped. At the same time, he waved his sleeve and put away the money on the table. However, it was not a small amount. It was exactly 20 gold! It was two times the amount that Yang Rui had exchanged for the game coins before! If it was exchanged for real money, it would be almost ten thousand yuan!
"Little Brother Patrol … Little Brother …"
