Chapter 4 Beauty Auction
This is a deserted town on the border of Hu and Han.
For a considerable period of time, the Han people around them exchanged iron tools, tea, grain, and silk for jewelry and horses of the nomadic peoples outside the pass. However, since the border war began three years ago, the transactions have been severely blocked. The Hu King's army everywhere, the fierce knights discovered that a victorious war could rob a large number of property, iron tools, women, and children without any effort... So they fell in love with this kind of gain that was exchanged for their own or others' lives.
However, they didn't even have time to enjoy the easily plundered property and women, and discovered new problems. Most of the residents on the border fled and traded a lot. After several cruel wars, they found that it was becoming increasingly difficult to obtain essentials such as tea, salt, food, etc.
Two years ago, in order to supplement the army, King Hu sent the "Red Explorer Army" who was good at expeditions to attack Phoenix City, two hundred miles away from the border. Phoenix City was surrounded by mountains and rivers, with abundant resources. The leader was the General Monreal brothers. The Monreal brothers had half a lifetime of military service and experienced no less than 100 battles of all sizes and sizes. Two years ago, he led 3,000 troops, defeating the 10,000 troops led by Peng Dong, the general stationed in Xifeng Pass at that time, to defeat the army.
When the spy returned, the current general guarding the city of Phoenix City turned out to be Peng Dong, Monreal laughed three times and personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to meet his defeated general at night. Three days later, King Hu was waiting for the good news in the tent. Monreal's brother Menggechi ran in alone, and the box in his hand opened, and it turned out to be Monreal's head and a short note. The 5,000 elite soldiers in Monreal were wiped out. There was only one sentence on the short note:
Those who offend me Phoenix City will be punished even if they are far away.
The army was shocked, and King Hu immediately sent someone to inquire and found out that the person in charge of Phoenix City was no longer the general Peng Dong, but a mysterious young man. The soldiers in Phoenix City, the people called him "Flying Commander of Fengcheng", and the army he led was called "Phoenix Army".
A year ago, King Hu formed an alliance with the newly rising Red Jin tribe on the prairie, sharpening his sword and fighting again on the border. This time, 3,000 elite soldiers of the Red Jin tribe took the lead. The Red Jin cavalry was the first to be brave, but they met 1,000 cavalry of the Phoenix Army on the grassland at Heifengkou, and almost all the troops were wiped out. The Red Jin Khan was shocked. They fought with the Han people in all dynasties, and cavalry has always been the weakness of the Han army. Unexpectedly, the Phoenix Cavalry was so good at fighting.
The Chijin tribe and the Hu King did not give up. Half a year ago, another 10,000 elite troops were dispatched to destroy the Phoenix Army. This time, the army was ambushed before reaching the Black Wind. The Chijin Khan was commanding the stable team. The opponent suddenly rushed out a fast horse. The horse suddenly jumped up, took a bow and arrow, and shot him down from a distance with an arrow. Until death, the Chijin Khan did not even see the appearance of this person clearly. He only learned that this person was the "Flying Ship of the Fengcheng who repeatedly defeated the Hu King."
After several failures, the Chijin tribe and the Hu King army had to withdraw their troops and turn to harass other barriers, and the "Fengcheng Feishang" became even more famous. Since then, the town transactions have been abandoned and gradually become gangster transactions and population markets.
A day in early autumn.
The sky was already dark, and the heat in the sky slowly faded. At the only door of the town, a yellowed flag floated lazily twice.
The inn is at the end of the town, and there is a large open space with dusty outside. The owner of this transaction set up a huge platform on the open space, and 66 high-burning giant candles illuminate the night sky of this border town as bright as day. There are only a table and chair on the table, and dozens of guards are placed on both sides of the stage.
There were crowds of people in the audience, and many people were secretly guessing who the owner was, and being able to arrange the platform like this in just half an hour. Although similar transactions and auctions are often held here, they are never as mysterious as this, because until now, no one knows what goods the owner has.
In the noise, everyone's eyes burst into tears. A fat man, who was at least 10 feet tall, walked up to the stage and sat calmly on the chair in the middle.
This fat man is called Jiang Zhilin. He is the most famous lone thief in the Qinling Mountains. In his early years, he took both black and white, but in the past decade, he has gradually retired from the world and started a bleaching business. Today, he held a big auction. Should he show off black or white goods?
I just listened to Jiang Zhilin: Dear guests, a new batch of freight has arrived today, so everyone can take a look.
With a slap in his hand, the curtain behind the stage opened with a "huo" sound, and more than 20 young women were pushed out. These women looked haggard, either frightened or had a blank expression. Some of them were obviously stolen from the Hu-Han border, and a few Wu Yi and Su Jin actually came from Jiangnan!
There was an uproar in the audience, but no one stood out.
Jiang Zhilin spoke again: Dear guests, this is the first batch of goods in this transaction. According to the head order, the price starts at 50 taels of silver per head! The old rules are the highest price.
Although these girls have different expressions and different clothing, they can look closely and see that everyone, no matter how fat you are, they have a beautiful and charming look between their eyebrows and eyes. The starting price of 50 taels is very reasonable.
After the initial shock, before Jiang Zhilin spoke again, many men had already rushed up, pinched their faces and touched their buttocks, and watched the group of women who were waiting for the price as if they were looking at animals.
Amid the shouts one after another, more than twenty women shouted and dodged. The shrill voice made the group of fanatical men even more interested, as if they were dazzled, and they burst into laughter.
"Three thousand taels, I bought them all..."
The noisy sound on the stage instantly became quiet. Almost everyone on and off the stage heard this clearly. At this time, everyone realized that there was a boy suddenly on the stage. As for when and how he came to the stage, almost no one saw it.
A man with a sword in the audience was always standing calmly on the side. At this time, he saw the boy on the stage, and his face instantly flashed with a hint of undetectable doubt. He stared at the boy carefully. The boy was wearing a light blue robe, and his eyes were shining brightly. His eyes occasionally swept across the crowd below, revealing a coldness of being unhappy. Only when he inadvertently looked at the group of panicked women on the stage would he have a hint of warmth.
Jiang Zhilin's face changed for a moment, but soon calmed down, "This young man gave three thousand taels... Is there any higher one?"
The men in the audience looked at the boy with a dazed tongue, not understanding what this little guy bought so many women! Jiang Zhilin asked three times and no one bargained again. He waved his hand, and the men cursed and got off the stage.
"make a deal"!
As soon as Jiang Zhilin finished speaking, a silver note fell from the sky and fell obliquely on the table in front of him. The boy smiled slightly at the group of girls. The group of girls who were originally dodging shrunk and squeezed into a group on the stage. At this moment, when he saw the boy laughing like that, he suddenly became quiet and stared at him in a daze.
The man with a sword discovered that a simple smile had such great magic power. The candlelight in the audience seemed to dim in an instant, and the group of girls who were originally panicked and even sobbed quietly calmed down one by one under such a smile. They followed the boy one after another and walked off the stage.
The man with the sword followed without thinking.
The boy stopped at the entrance of the inn, and the shopkeeper didn't ask much questions and opened the door to welcome the God of Wealth. The boy looked at the girl walking in the front. Among these girls, she had always been the most calm.
"What's my name?" When the boy's dark eyes were looking at the group of girls, it was like the spring sunshine, which made the night suddenly lit up.
The girl named was not timid, and she smiled and said, "My name is Luo Luo"!
"Okay, Luo Luo, I'll pick you up later, you'll be responsible for taking them." The boy finished his brief order, turned around, looked at the man with a sword next to him. The man smiled at him. The boy didn't smile, and had a lazy expression on his face, "Who is the master?"
The man with a sword laughed loudly and said, "Wang Jun, a 'humble residence' in the south of the Yangtze River"!
The boy was a little surprised. Wang Jun came from a "humble residence" one of the four major martial arts families in Jiangnan. He was a famous young man from a noble family. At this moment, he actually appeared in this population auction venue.
Wang Jun was about to speak when the boy moved his body and turned around. Under the night, there was no trace of the boy among the vast figures.
Since the young man bought the group of women, the noise in the audience did not stop. They were obviously curious about what the next item of Jiang Zhilin was. A vicious smile flashed in Jiang Zhilin's eyes. He waved his hand, and two teams of people came out of the curtain, and in an instant they stood on both sides of the platform. The two teams had 16 people in total, forming a siege with the two guards below the audience.
Seeing this kind of situation, everyone felt a stern, wondering how rare it was this time.
Jiang Zhilin's eyes were refined and he spoke with a full breath: "Below, the goods we are about to take, I believe that all the guests present will be very interested..."
He clapped his hands again, and the curtain on the stage suddenly opened. Two stout women sat on the only chair on the field, and then stood on the left and right.
The audience was silent in an instant, and all eyes fell on the girl. The girl was so vulgar, and her purple silk robe was elegant and elegant. She was obviously acupunctured by someone, and she could not move while sitting on the chair, so she had to be slaughtered.
These Green Forests believe that they have seen countless people, but when they see this girl, they realize how vulgar and clumsy the beauty they have seen and felt before. The girl's eyes are clear, with both resentment and a hint of stubbornness in her eyes. The look mixed with all kinds of emotions is heartbreaking.
Wang Jun jumped into the stage and jumped onto the stage: "Jiang Zhilin, how can you let go?"
Jiang Zhilin looked at many people who were already ready to move in the audience and sneered: "There are many famous figures related to 'Ailian Villa'. Since I am here for an auction, I suggest you follow the rules and follow the rules to compete before you finish the charter..."
It turns out that the "goods" mentioned by Jiang Zhilin turned out to be Shi Lanni, the eldest lady of "Ailian Villa".
"Ailian Villa" is the leader of the four major families in Jiangnan. The owner of the manor Shi Daming is the leader of the martial arts world today. He was invincible in his early years and has been in seclusion in recent years. It is difficult for even his family to meet him. Now, his daughter has actually caught Jiang Zhilin as an auction like a cargo!
Wang Jun looked angry and turned around. The two women stood behind the girl, each holding a sharp dagger in his hand. It seemed that as long as anyone dared to act rashly, the girl would soon disappear.
