Ruyi Building, in addition to selling things, can also recycle things. As a business under the City Lord's Mansion, it is naturally for profit. Buy low and sell high, so that the business can last for a long time.
Chen Luo collected the unused potions and miscellaneous items in the evil Taoist An Lushan's storage ring, packaged them and sold them to Ruyilou.
Although the price was severely slashed, Chen Luo gained another one million taels of silver from this move.
After paying for the items, there was actually a lot left over.
"Damn it, you are really a rich man!" Li Zhen said, grabbing the remaining banknotes and putting them into her storage ring.
Chen Luo smiled and didn't care about it, just give it to Li Zhen.
After shopping, the two of them walked back to the inn, arm in arm.
As soon as I arrived at the inn, a policeman walked out.
"Two guests, our Lord invites you!"
"You adults? Which adult?" Chen Luo asked, "I don't seem to know you?"
"The Guest Officer Martial Arts Arena has become famous in one fell swoop, and it has spread throughout Hetian City. Our Lord, the City Lord, heard about the heroic appearance of our brothers, and specially ordered us to invite the two City Lords to see him."
Chen Luo frowned, what was supposed to happen happened anyway, he beat his nephew, and his uncle was about to take action.
In the city lord's palace, Ouyang Jie and Yu Wenji stood on the left and right beside a middle-aged man with a tall stature and a majestic appearance.
"Uncle, my nephew has been extremely embarrassed this time! He was defeated by an unknown jade-picking pawn."
"Both of you, you are causing trouble for me as soon as you come to Hetian City. I am the Lord of Hetian City. Everything must be dealt with fairly and impartially. How can I bend the law for personal gain?"
"Uncle, I also came out because cousin Yuwen was bullied. Cousin Yuwen's jade pendant was robbed. Now that the murderer is far away, I am also worried." Ouyang Jie explained.
"Yes, uncle, you have to make the decision for us. This murderer can rob my nephew's things under your nose. These are things my mother gave me. I really don't take you seriously!"
"We can't lose the reputation of the Ximen family."
"Hmph -" Ximen Bao snorted coldly and glared at the two nephews, "Don't I know what you think? I'm afraid you know who is right and who is wrong."
Ximen Bao looked at Yu Wenji's twinkling eyes and understood instantly.
"Someone is coming!"
"Sir, what are your orders?" The butler took a step forward.
"Find those people for me and invite them to the city lord's mansion." Ximen Bao ordered. As a well-informed leader who guards Hetian City, Ximen Bao would definitely not act so recklessly.
So there was the opening scene.
Chen Luo and Li Zhen looked at each other. It was a blessing, not a curse, but it was a curse that could not be avoided.
"How about we go to the city lord's mansion for a banquet?" Chen Luo blinked.
"Yes, since the city lord invited us, we still have to give him this face."
The two of them talked to each other and followed the messenger towards the city lord's mansion.
Ruyi Tower was actually in the corner of the city lord's palace, so the two of them came out of the inn, walked around, and saw a magnificent gate.
The three shining golden characters in the letter were "Hetian Mansion"!
The city lord's clan is indeed very impressive.
A huge house is divided into a front yard and a back yard. The front yard is used for meetings and the back yard is for family members to live in. This is a standard building for wealthy people in Western Xinjiang.
The house of the Lord of Ximenbao City is slightly different. The houses in other places are all made of blue bricks and gray tiles, even the house of Taibai Exiled Immortal is no exception.
But Ximen Leopard uses something different from others. The bricks are red bricks and the tiles are yellow glazed tiles, which vaguely shows a royal atmosphere.
The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the courage is extraordinary. Chen Luo has heard from the blind grandfather since he was a child that there is only one place where he dares to use this yellow glazed tile, and that is the imperial palace. As for ordinary city lords, even princes, and court officials from all over the country
, no matter how big the house is, red and gold are not allowed to be used in its color.
But Ximen Bao is different. Although he is the lord of a city, he is not a member of the imperial court. In essence, he is still a member of the Jianghu. It may be for this reason that everyone turns a blind eye and no one is held accountable.
Chen Luo followed the messenger into the front yard, and was greeted by a front yard housekeeper. The housekeeper whispered to the messenger for a moment, looked up at Chen Luo and Chen Luo, and said, "Please follow me."
In the main room, a group of people were discussing matters in the hall. In the middle sat a man dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, with a small beard on his mouth, neatly trimmed, and the whole person looked very majestic.
To the left of the middle-aged man stood a group of young people, one of whom was Ouyang Jie who had just had a fight with Chen Luo, and the other was Yu Wenji who had been beaten the day before yesterday.
On the right side of the middle-aged man, there is a man and a woman. The man has tiger eyes and starry eyebrows, and is handsome. The woman has a dashing and heroic figure. She not only looks beautiful, but also has a heroic spirit.
"Sir, we've brought it!" The butler bowed forward and saluted.
Seeing the newcomers coming in, everyone stopped making noise.
"Uncle, this is the boy!" Yu Wenji saw Chen Luo and Chen Luo coming in. He stretched out his hand and made a clang, then pulled out a long sword.
Although Ouyang Jie is relatively calm, he can still see the fire in his eyes. The feeling of being defeated is not pleasant. He has always bullied others, but he has never been bullied by others.
"Put away your weapons!" Ximen Bao glared at the two young men who were filled with indignation.
"Do you have any hospitality? Come here, let's have some tea!" Ximen Bao said and turned to Chen Luo, narrowed his eyes slightly, and scanned Chen Luo up and down.
"Hey, a kid at the Foundation Establishment Realm can still beat Xiaojie? Xiaojie is about to reach the Core Formation Realm." Ximen Bao thought in his mind, his eyes full of doubts.
Immediately, he glanced at Chen Luo's face again, showing the face of an ordinary middle-aged man, and Ximen Bao couldn't help but be startled.
"You're actually wearing a mask! Don't you dare to show your true identity?" You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me.
Ximen Bao nodded towards an old man beside him, who was the housekeeper of the backyard.
The old man came forward and was about to speak.
A young man next to him rushed up.
"Is it you who defeated my cousin?" The boy standing on the right is the one above. The boy pulled out his long sword and pointed it at Chen Luo.
"Qing'er, come back, don't mess around!" Ximen Bao shouted.
"Father, I want to test whether he has three heads and six arms! This caused my brother Jie to be bullied."
"Sir, Master Qing has made great progress in his practice recently. You can let him try it out," the old housekeeper said.
Ximen Bao thought about it and nodded, "Since Master Qu said it, let's give it a try, be careful and stick to it!"
With his father's permission, Master Qing no longer hesitated and jumped to the center of the hall, pointing his long sword at Chen Luo.
"Draw your sword and let me meet you!"
Chen Luo frowned, picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp, "May I ask, Lord City Lord, why you summoned me? Is it just to save someone's face?"
"I remember someone said that the city lord's palace stipulated that all martial arts battles must be resolved on this martial arts platform. Why is there no such rule here!" Chen Luo looked at Ximen Bao, expecting an answer.
"Haha", the old housekeeper took a step forward, "You don't know something. In Hetian City, there are two places where martial arts competitions can be held. One is the martial arts platform, and the other is the City Lord's Mansion. With the approval of the City Lord, here
It can also be used as a discussion point."
Chen Luo had a dark look on his face and set his own rules. Your city lord's mansion is quite arrogant and unreasonable.
"Young man, I, the city lord, are here to discuss and communicate with each other. There is no need for you to worry." Ximen Bao said, stroking his beard and nodding.
"Stop talking nonsense, you are afraid!" That young master Qing was already impatient with the waiting. "If you are afraid, kowtow to my cousin Ouyang and admit defeat, and spare your life!"
Chen Li chuckled, "Since the city lord has said so, let's just fight. I'm willing to accompany you!"
Chen Luo had already observed it just now. Except for the city lord and the old housekeeper in the backyard who were unfathomable and Chen Luo couldn't see through, the other people's cultivation realms were not that high.
This person named Master Qing looks similar to Ouyang Jie, who has just entered the Dan Formation Realm. The girl next to Master Qing is at the same level as Chen Luo, at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Especially the old housekeeper in the backyard looked very old, but Chen Luo could vaguely tell that he was a master at the beginning of the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Boy, can you do it?" Master Qing pointed his sword and shouted impatiently.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey! The space here is too small, why don't we go out and compete to avoid breaking things!" Chen Luo suggested.
"Okay! It's up to you!" Everyone walked out of the hall and came to the yard. The ten-foot-wide square between the front yard and the back yard was enough for two people to perform.
Chen Luo looked around, broke off a branch from the dead tree next to him, stretched out his hand forward, and it seemed to be closed!
Chen Luo made a gesture of invitation.
Ximen Bao has a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter is named Ximen Ling and the younger son is named Ximen Qing. Since arriving in Hetian City, Ximen Bao has worked hard and managed Hetian City to have a prosperous population, prosperous business and a wealthy family.
One side.
Ximen Bao has been painstakingly cultivating his next generation so that he can pass on his great achievements. As a result, his children, even though they are not very young, are the absolute best among their peers in cultivation.
Ximen Qing saw Chen Luo's behavior and seemed to be angered by this behavior of looking down on him. He waved his long sword, and a little cold light rushed towards Chen Luo.
Well done! Chen Luo turned his branch slightly and put his hand on Ximen Qing's sword.
The sword turns at will and the heart moves at will.
Ximen Qing's long sword seemed to be stuck to the wooden stick all of a sudden, and was suppressed everywhere. Every time he danced the long sword, there was a powerful force coming from it.
This is the secret of the Qiankun Gongsun Sword that Chen Luo and Ouyang Jie learned after a hard fight. Now, with the help of Ximen Qing's long sword, he practices it again, and it turns out that the secrets are endless.
Ximen Qing swung his sword continuously, trying to get rid of the control. However, the control ability of the Gongsun Qiankun Sword was very strong. Unless the realm was much higher, it would be impossible to get rid of it.
After a while, Ximen Qing's face turned red, and Ximen Bao seemed to frown. He thought that he knew his son's skills. He was also a master of the Dan Formation realm, and he seemed to be one level higher than Chen Luo.
