In the cold wind and snow, a huge bull-shaped monster appeared near Yaluo Town, which quickly triggered panic in the town. Liu Jie, who had been marginalized, suddenly became a popular commodity. In a nearly humble prayer, he took his brothers and put on equipment that was deducted and had little protective power, and hurried to the east gate of the town. It was said that the east was not his own defense zone, so he could completely ignore it, wait for Manniu to make some trouble before making up for the mess, and then wait for the bastard to be criticized. Maybe the brothers' hard days would be able to survive. However, as a responsible soldier, he really could not face the condemnation of his conscience, so he had to endure all kinds of unhappiness.

Xiao Yichen handed the telescope to Han Dong, who was sitting on the cow's back, and sighed: "See, this is what is called a gentleman who can deceive him."

Han Dong said angrily: "It's so frustrating to be a talent like Brother Liu in Yaluo Town! He doesn't even feel angry, but he has to let him bear the consequences if something happens!"

Xiao Yichen sneered: "If it weren't for his use, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to save this little face!"

Han Dong cursed in a low voice: "The world is dangerous, and villains are rampant!"

Xiao Yichen whispered: "Despicable is a pass for despicable people, and noble is an epitaph of noble people. The so-called rules, like door locks, can only guard against gentlemen and cannot guard against villains. Sometimes, the so-called integrity, nobleness, humility, kindness and other qualities often become the entry point for villains to plot against you. Just like in Yaluo Town now, Song Wei can hide, but Liu Jie cannot. Although the low combat effectiveness of the whole town is caused by a slut like Song Wei, the consequences must be borne by a good person like Liu Jie."

Han Dong said angrily: "No wonder no one likes to live a peaceful life in the rear. Many mercenaries who obviously don't have to work hard and enjoy a peaceful life finally chose to come out again. It turns out that the so-called peaceful world is so frustrating! Wei Suo's family is like this, and Liu Jie and the others are like this! How can you compare to the mercenary world that is happy to be revenge! I can't stand it, so I fuck him with a knife!"

Looking at the town gate, Xiao Yichen stood up and shook his hand high.

"I'll go! Someone on the back of the cow, did you see it? It was the tamed Daliman Bull!"

"Damn, it's not such a coincidence, right? I haven't heard of anyone who can tame Dali Manniu before. Why have you been one after another recently? Even our town has benefited from it?"

"Why am I looking at that guy on the bull's back, he looks a little familiar? Alas, it seems that guy from Uncle Xiao's family is also!"

"I look like Brother Liu, you are the most familiar with him... Brother Liu, Brother Liu, where have you been?"

Liu Jie had already got off the city wall and came straight to meet him.

Standing on the back of the bull, Liu Jie sighed very much. At the same time, he also thought that Xiao Yichen intended to go around the east side of the town to enter the city, and wanted to vent his anger for him. He was not good at speaking, but just smiled and patted Xiao Yichen on the shoulder, and everything was silent.

"How is it? Brother, I, a cow, is it cool?"

"You're cool, Song Zhenshou almost suffered a stroke! Haha... It's so satisfying. You didn't see how he was begging me just now. It's so satisfying!"

"Don't be too happy, he will know the truth after looking back. He will definitely think that you and I collude to scare him, and life will be even more difficult in the future."

"His grandma, what's so great about it? Brother, I have applied for retirement. After the New Year, I will also carry a knife to hunt, so I will not be humiliated by my elders. I used to be afraid that I would leave and my brothers would be bullied. But now I understand that even if I am here, my brothers will not be able to live well. We have discussed that after the New Year, we will all be mercenaries together! Although we are not very capable, we are all real talent at the level of the mercenary level. Being a first-level mercenary is still barely qualified. It is more dangerous, but it is better than being angry with this bird!"

Xiao Yichen rode a cow into the town and swayed through the city to go home. The scene was very cool. If it weren't for the bad weather and snowing again, there were really few people on the street, it would probably have caused a lot of screams and cheers. What a pity, the weather is not good! Xiao Yichen, who was full of anticipation, couldn't help but feel a sense of self-admiration.

When Xiao Tie and Lan Mei saw such a big cow, they almost fainted. Lan Mei's first reaction was: "How many things do you need to feed such a big piece!" They directly turned Xiao Yichen into thunder, without any gaze of enthusiasm.

Knowing that Xiao Yichen had already set up a storefront in Lukanying and Jianyangfeng, the three brothers Xiao Tie were very excited. In the past few months, they have almost mastered the forging skills taught by Xiao Yichen. After so long, there are more than 100 finished equipment on hand. Now, each of them can complete at least two to three finished three-star equipment every day. Such yield rate and output can be achieved even in front of those masters.

Because there is an action to deal with Song Wei in the next step, and Xiao Yichen is unwilling to worry his parents, so under the guise of learning from Master Yuan nearby, he planned to move Xiao Ji to Jianyang Peak as a whole. Only those apprentices were left at home to deal with the town business and take care of real estate.

They were still discussing at home, but there was something happening with Song Wei. The person who came was an acquaintance, Song Cai, who was originally stern and looked like he was doing business. After Pingdeng, he reported to Xiao Yichen alone.

"Young Master... Then Song Wei was very angry when he learned that it was Mr. Xiao who rode the cow home. But he was not sure if your cow was really caught and tamed by Grand Master Yuan, as the rumored one, so he sent the young man to find out. If you are really close to Grand Master Yuan, he will definitely not dare to do anything else in the future. Maybe he will curry favor with you. If the rumor is wrong, he will be planning to be cruel."

"How cruel?"

"Song Wei spent a lot of energy to deal with your Xiao family. After the old mayor passed away, he had just taken over as the mayor, so he checked the tax statement first and found that your Xiaoji Iron Shop had never paid taxes from twenty years ago to now. The tax exemption order was marked by the old mayor himself, but it did not indicate the reason. So he inferred that Xiaoji's tax exemption for twenty years was entirely due to the personal relationship between Mr. Xiao and the old mayor! If the rumors about you and Grandmaster Yuan were untrue, then he would be preparing to pay the taxes for the Xiao family for the past twenty years under the name of tax check!"

"There is still this? You wait here first, I'll go out and ask."

When Xiao Tie heard this, his expression became quite strange. After enduring it for a long time, he sighed and explained: "It's actually nothing special about this. We are not a family who evade taxes just to save a few money..."

After explaining, Xiao Yichen understood. It turned out that Xiao Tie and the three brothers were all officers who had retired from the front line. When they were discharged, the accumulated military merits had already made everyone get a small title. Although this title is just a name, the empire has always been generous to soldiers. Therefore, although they have no salary, they have the privilege of tax exemption. Not to mention that the three of them run a broken shop together, they are tax-free even if they operate any store alone. And there is also the military's priority purchasing rights!

Just because Xiao Tie and the other two felt that such things were unnecessary, Yu Wenhao, the old mayor who had a friendship with them, had never mentioned it to anyone. He didn't even mention it on the tax statement. After so many years, a small honorary title has long been forgotten.

While hearing this news, Xiao Yichen also heard another thing that made him happy. It turned out that the reason why Brother Xiao Tie settled in Yaluo Town was because of Yu Wenhao's earnest invitation! Why? Because Wu Wenhao himself inherited the position left by his father and became the mayor of Yaluo Town. He also had a title, and with the three brothers of the Xiao family and another friend, he had enough five jazz. The imperial law stipulates that if five jazz live in towns with less than 100,000 people, they can be exempted from taxes. Therefore, since Brother Xiao's family joined Yaluo Town, Yaluo Town has been a tax-free unit for twenty years.

Ha, it's funny now. Yu Wenhao has worked hard to get the tax exemption guarantee. Before his body was cold, he was beaten by his heirs and treated it as a typical example of tax evasion! It's interesting... Well, this is an opportunity, and there is no need to bother to think about it anymore. He can just dig a hole with this momentum and wait for the guy to jump down by himself.

Early the next morning, Song Wei, the mayor of Yaluo Town, who had not yet taken office for a month, led a group of subordinates to the door with a fierce attack. He had already figured out that the so-called Xiao family had a relationship with Grandmaster Yuan, which was purely rumor! The cow was just borrowed by the Xiao family boy to decorate the storefront! After Song Cai heard the news and leaked the news, the family actually packed up their things overnight and prepared to escape from Yaluo Town! Humph, with the face of the dead brother-in-law, he had escaped for twenty years. The old man wanted to escape as soon as he died. How could he think I, the new mayor, miss it?

Xiao Ji, who was blocked, was indeed like a loss of her parents. Under the might of Mayor Song, she obediently paid for the tax and fines for twenty years, and of course the interest was indispensable. One hundred gold coins each year, plus the fines, interest, and a huge sum of five thousand gold coins made Song Wei feel excited. She signed her name in awe and threw the tax payment certificate to Xiao Tie. As for Xiao Ji's continued to pack up, hum, after replenishing the tax, please do not care whether you want to live in the town! It's just a bunch of mud legs, and you're too lazy to care about you!

Although Xiao Tie wanted to mention the boy to the face of the old brother, he was so awesome that he didn't clamp him with his eyes. In desperation, he had to let his son come forward, pay the money and pack up his things, and the family was just as fleeing, leaving this place where he had lived for twenty years in the cold wind.

The powerful mana is not a blow-out. There are so many raw materials, tools, finished products and personnel, and there are five big sleds, all tied behind it without any effort. The Huahua who was specially selected out was very disappointed. She looked dejected by her sled, which made Xiao Yichen feel a little cute. The girl is indeed a good person to live a life, and the monster she trained is so responsible. I just don’t know if Huahua will be jealous after seeing Big Eyes? How will the girl treat two completely different pets? It’s exciting!

Most of the apprentices stayed for the housekeeper, and several of them were lit up and brought together to create the new Xiaoji. Looking at Yaluo Town, which was gradually moving away behind them, Lan Mei and several aunts were a little depressed, and even Xiao Tie, the most generous, could not be excited.

"Don't worry, dad, the house here is still owned by ours. After a while, that idiot dumped the stove, we can come back at any time! Now, we still have to take care of the name of Xiao Ji first and make money!" In short, we are providing several prodigal products with all kinds of people! This is the beginning, spending money is like flowing water. In a few years, the realm skills will be upgraded, and then spending money will be a huge hit. How can we do it if we don't plan early?

Xiao Tie focused his head and said with great enthusiasm: "My son is right. We must let Xiao Ji's name be heard throughout the empire!"
