"Tongyou City is also a place where warriors gather. Private trading meetings between warriors are usually not uncommon. However, after the Tongyou Battle, Tongyou City was in dire straits, so such private exchanges and gatherings were rare.
many."
Walking in the busy Tongyou City, Tian Mengzi said casually to the two of them.
The reconstruction of Tongyou City has begun since the end of the Battle of Tongyou.
Now half a year has passed, and the general outline of Tongyou City has been completed, but the construction of the city is far from over.
Shang Xia looked at the busy crowd around him with great interest, feeling that Tongyou City seemed to be bursting with vitality.
Before the Battle of Tongyou began, Tongyou Academy and the major families were already consciously evacuating people in the city.
After the war ended, although the entire Tongyou City was destroyed into ruins, the actual number of casualties in the city was not many.
"Who usually attends such trade fairs?"
Shang Xia asked the two of them casually.
Sun Haiwei replied: "There are everyone! Warriors from the academy, warriors from major families in the city and Sanren, as well as warriors practicing in seclusion in the mountains outside the city, and even people from other states, etc."
Tian Mengzi added on the side: "Actually, these trade fairs are overt and covert. Usually these trade fairs are organized by well-known and well-known warriors. Everyone gathers their friends to exchange ideas, and at the same time, they can
If you are familiar with each other, the transaction process will be relatively safe.”
Shang Xia immediately asked: "What about the secret trade fair?"
Tian Mengzi smiled and said: "Secret trade fairs also refer to underground trade fairs. In shady trade fairs, there are naturally more shady things. Because of this, the threshold of underground trade fairs is usually higher, and there is no way out.
People cannot enter and cannot be found, but even so, robberies and fights surrounding underground trade fairs are common in and around Tongyou City."
Shang Xia said with some disbelief: "There are always shady places in a city, which I can understand. But with the control the academy and the four major families have over Tongyou City, these dark sides of Tongyou City should not be too great.
It’s okay to be bold.”
Sun Haiwei and Tian Mengzi glanced at each other, and Tian Mengzi smiled bitterly and said: "Junior Brother Shang is actually right. In fact, compared to other cities outside Youzhou, the underground forces in Tongyou City can be said to be 'cautious and cautious'.
'Yes. But I have to say that the existence of these dark sides often has a certain inevitability. As the saying goes, 'It is better to block than to open up', which probably means this."
When Shang Xia heard this, he immediately understood that the existence of underground forces in Tongyou City was obviously caused by the connivance of Tongyou Academy and the four major families.
While they were talking, the group of three people had arrived at a teahouse that looked like it had just been built and opened not long ago.
Before the waiters in the teahouse came forward to greet them, the shopkeeper of the teahouse had already pushed the waiters behind him and came forward and said: "Three young ladies, are you the distinguished guests invited by Mr. Zhao? In the private room on the third floor, Mr. Zhao
I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
The three of them were personally led up to the third floor by the teahouse owner, where they saw a very handsome middle-aged man coming forward with a smile on his face.
"I didn't expect that some college students would come, but I'm glad to see you!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, his eyes swept across Shang Xia.
Compared to Sun Haiwei and Tian Mengzi, the younger Shang Xia may be more famous, but he is a complete stranger here.
"I wonder what I call this young master?"
The middle-aged man obviously discovered something from Shang Xia and asked with a smile on his face.
Shang Xia saw hesitation on the faces of Sun and Tian beside him, so he smiled and said: "My surname is Xia, what do you call me senior?"
"It turns out to be Mr. Xia!"
The middle-aged man didn't know whether he believed it or not, but he smiled broadly and said: "My surname is Zhao. This teahouse is actually a property under Zhao's name. Mr. Xia is willing to come and appreciate it. Zhao is very lucky."
!”
"It turns out to be Boss Zhao!"
The Shang and Xia people would not be proud of their status on such occasions, and they only complimented each other a few words.
Seeing that everyone's faces were familiar, Tian Mengzi interrupted: "Old Zhao, can you tell me how many people are coming this time?"
Boss Zhao pondered for a moment and said: "The scope of the news released by Zhao this time was originally very small, but because Tongyou City was in dire straits and was waiting to be revitalized, many colleagues responded. Coupled with the new people introduced, this time before
The comrades who come to the party are probably going to count to ten."
After a pause, Boss Zhao suddenly whispered: "Zhao got the exact news. This time there should be people from outside the city coming."
Tian Mengzi glanced at him in surprise when he heard this and said: "Okay, Old Zhao, the road is quite wild! If it weren't for your teahouse, I would have thought that we had entered the dark market this time."
"Hey, don't dare!"
Boss Zhao hurriedly waved his hands in a panic, but in fact the smile on his face did not diminish, and he was even a bit pleased.
After that, Boss Zhao led the three of them into the elegant tea room.
Sun Haiwei thought carefully, paused in front of the tea room, opened a bamboo basket next to it, pointed to the things inside and said: "It's the first time for Xiao Xia to come here. This time there are many unidentified people, so I just brought this with me."
Bar!"
Shang Xia looked down and saw several masks placed in the bamboo basket.
Shang Xia was more curious, so he picked one up and put it on his face.
At the same time, his heart moved, and the aura around him suddenly changed, as if he was a completely different person.
Tian Mengzi, Sun Haiwei and Boss Zhao all had a look of astonishment on their faces, obviously they didn't expect Shang Xia to operate like this.
Tian Mengzi and Sun Haiwei then put their own clothes on and then walked into the tea room.
However, the tearoom in front of me was extremely small, and could hardly accommodate a gathering of twenty people.
However, Shang Xia saw that Sun Haiwei and Tian Mengzi beside him looked calm, so he stood aside calmly and watched what happened.
Sure enough, Boss Zhao stepped forward and secretly tapped several places on the tea table in the center of the tea room. One of the walls then opened inward, revealing a passage at the back.
"Please come in, three of you. Zhao will naturally come in after a while!"
Tian Mengzi nodded towards the two of them and walked into the passage first. Sun Haiwei and Shang Xia followed immediately. The wall behind them closed, but the passage was not dim.
"That Zhao Fengchun, Boss Zhao, is from the Zhao family in Tongyou City. The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Hengchun, is a master of martial arts. It is said that he has been looking for ways to advance to the martial arts realm in the past two years, and there are many students from Tongyou Academy.
Doorway.”
As Sun Haiwei walked, she quietly introduced the details of Boss Zhao to Shang Xia.
Shang Xia nodded slightly, he naturally knew about the Zhao family.
In Tongyou City, excluding Tongyou Academy and the four major families, the Zhao family should be regarded as the most powerful family among the medium-sized forces.
The boss Zhao Fengchun just now has been seen clearly by Shang Xia. This person possesses the third level of martial arts realm and is considered a prominent figure in Tongyou City. No wonder
Can such a trade fair be organized?
The passage was not too long. After walking in a few steps, the three of them opened a bamboo door and arrived at an empty teahouse.
In this teahouse, the seats are placed against the wall, except for the center.
At this time, a total of seven or eight warriors were sitting around the teahouse. The three from Shang and Xia arrived neither early nor late.
The moment the three of them entered the tea room, they attracted the scrutinizing gaze of those who had arrived first.
Tian Mengzi turned a blind eye and found three seats next to each other and asked Sun Haiwei and Shang Xia to sit down.
At this time, the surrounding eyes had converged a lot, but there were still a few people looking at the three of them rather unscrupulously.
Without him, even though the three of them wore masks, it was easy to tell from their behavior that they were still young.
In this Tongyou City, there is no doubt that nine out of ten young third-level warriors are from Tongyou Academy.
Tian Mengzi turned a blind eye to this, while Sun Haiwei felt a little uncomfortable.
Shang Xia snorted coldly when he saw this. When he looked at the warriors here, he was suddenly shocked. His head seemed to have been hit hard with a hammer. When he looked at Shang Xia and the other three, he was already startled.
fear.
Shang Xia's eyes swept across the area, and the other people hurriedly avoided his sight.
Sun Haiwei breathed a sigh of relief, while Tian Mengzi gave Shang Xia a secret thumbs up.
Before entering the fragrant tea room, another wall of this special tea room has opened a portal again. The first two people came in, looked around, and looked at the three people of Shang and Xia for a moment, then looked for
He took two seats and sat down.
Sun Haiwei sighed slightly and whispered in the ears of the two of them: "Shangshe teaches Huo Wuji, the deacon of the hospital's health department, Takeda Fang!"
Tian Mengzi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Shang Xia couldn't help but look at these two people more.
If those two people were aware of it, one of them, a warrior in his thirties with a rough appearance, suddenly raised his head and smiled at Shang Xia, revealing a mouth of strong white teeth.
"The two of them obviously also realized that the three of us are from the academy!"
Tian Mengzi conveyed to the two of them expressionlessly.
I don't know how many portals there are on the walls of this teahouse. In the next moment, five or six warriors came in one after another from different portals.
When Boss Zhao Fengchun came in last, there were nineteen third-level warriors gathered in the tea room.
Boss Zhao came straight to the center of the tea room. He bowed in all directions and said, "It's not easy for you to come here, so Zhao will keep the story short. Thank you for giving Zhao this face. Zhao is honored. Let's get straight to the point."
As for the topic, Zhao will be the first to introduce the topic!"
Shang Xia didn't expect Boss Zhao to be so direct, and became more and more curious about the upcoming trade fair.
Boss Zhao took out a lacquer box about a foot long from his sleeve. After opening the lid with the imprisoning talisman on it, a total of twelve clam beads as big as longan were neatly embedded in the box.
.
"Twelve hazy sauvignons produced by three-hundred-year-old clams are third-level treasures and have a wide range of uses. They can be used for advanced potions, talisman making, sharp weapon forging, formation layout, etc.!"
When Boss Zhao said this, his tone paused slightly, and then he continued: "I am willing to exchange a bottle of Mingxin Pure Dew or a piece of Wuyang Blue Heart Jade from you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Xia suddenly felt that the originally casual atmosphere in the tea room had suddenly changed. A few people even let out chuckles, and the expressions on their faces were even more surprised and uncertain.
