Chapter four hundred and thirteenth let you not be long-winded
After knowing some information from Lan Yujun that only the city lord of Dacheng knew, Ming Zhiyuan, Yu Yizhi, and Yang Yiling all concentrated their attention.
Several people came to the small hall again. Lan Yujun placed a few teacups on the table and talked to them about the distribution of power in the three big cities.
By the time Lan Yujun finished speaking, it was almost dawn. Yu Yizhi stood up and said: "Such a big thing happened in the city lord's mansion. I'm afraid we won't be able to leave the city normally. Wangtian City will definitely have to close the door. At this time,
, some of the government officials haven’t had time to make arrangements, so let’s leave now.”
Ming Zhiyuan and Yang Yiling naturally agreed. Lan Yujun stayed up all night and was about to run away immediately when she saw a few people. She had no choice but to let Yu Yizhi take her and they left the messy Wangtian City.
Several people came to the outside of Wangtian City, discussed it, and decided to go to Liuye City first. Lan Yujun knew that they were going to Liuye City, and her heart settled down. She was afraid that they would use Ming Zhiyuan to go to Senlan.
City, I am quite familiar with it, so I want to go to Senlan City to cause trouble.
Although her father forced her to marry the Lord of Wangtian City, which was not considered a loving father, he was still her father after all, and she was not willing to see him end up like the Lord of Wangtian City no matter what.
Several people recalled the monsters that had been circling outside Wangtian City, and asked Lan Yujun to point out the direction and rushed to Liuye City.
Liuye City is nearly a thousand miles away from Wangtian City. Fortunately, the flying monsters they rode were also very fast. They set off at dawn and arrived outside Liuye City in the afternoon.
As usual, a few monsters were left to look for food and patrol the outer city every day. The few people did not dress up to hide themselves and entered the city directly from the main entrance.
The city lord of Liuye City is the only female city lord in Lingding Continent, and the city lord’s name is Liu Yefei.
Unlike other big cities, Liuye City was only founded a few hundred years ago, but the position of the city lord has changed several times. He was also called by other names in the past. Until two hundred years ago, a female warrior surnamed Liu came and sat on the throne.
After taking the position of city lord, it was renamed Liuye City.
Since Liu Wuzun took the position of Lord of Liuye City, it has been passed down to seven generations, with each generation inheriting the title from their mother.
The current City Lord, Liu Yefei, passed the position of City Lord to her after her mother, the previous City Lord of Liuye, entered the martial arts realm more than ten years ago.
Outside the main city of Liuye City, there is an acropolis in each of the four directions. There are no idlers living in the acropolis. They are all defensive soldiers. The main city covers an area of hundreds of miles and is divided into an outer city and an inner city.
After Ming Zhiyuan and others entered the outer city of Liuye City, they found an inn to stay at. After asking for several days, they could not find any helpers like the ones Ming Zhiyuan met in Senlan City who specialized in taking people into the inner city.
In the end, Lan Yujun thought of a way to set fires in several shops on the wall streets of the inner city and the outer city at night. While the guards of the inner and outer cities were busy pulling water hoses to put out the fire, the four of them
Taking advantage of the chaos, he found a defensive gap, flew over the city wall, and arrived at the inner city.
However, the four of them wanted to stay in an inn in the inner city, and they needed access to the inner city gate to stay in the inn. However, Lan Yujun and a few of them found an uninhabited mansion.
Ming Zhiyuan was greatly surprised by the sight. Several people climbed over the wall and entered. They saw that the house was equipped with all the necessary goods for daily use, but it looked like no one had lived there for a long time.
The old god Yu Yi was not surprised why Lan Yujun knew this place. Yang Yiling looked at Lan Yujun in confusion and did not ask any questions.
In the end, Ming Zhiyuan grabbed Lan Yujun and asked, "How did you know there was such a vacant house here?"
Lan Yujun rolled her eyes at him, "This is my family's private property, how could I not know?"
"Does your family still have private property in Liuye City?" Ming Zhiyuan also looked confused.
"Isn't this normal? Which big city doesn't have some hidden eyes and ears in other big cities? Those eyes and ears also need to have an identity and a place to stay."
Lan Yujun said disapprovingly.
"Then if you bring us here, won't you let the hidden eyes and ears of your family know about it?"
"Don't worry, this place hasn't been opened yet, and they don't know about it."
As Lan Yujun spoke, she walked into a study room in the main courtyard. Ming Zhiyuan and others followed her in. They saw her pushing open a bookshelf against the wall in the study room, and a hidden compartment appeared on the wall behind.
She skillfully opened the secret compartment and took out a wooden box, placing it on the desk.
Yu Yizhi opened the wooden box and saw inside a stack of banknotes commonly used in mainland China, as well as dozens of vouchers with various names.
Several people each found a pass among these passes. Yang Yiling raised the pass in his hand and said, "Why are they all for young people, and there are no passes that old men like us can use?"
Lan Yujun rummaged for a while and took out two Guanping vouchers, and asked Ming Zhiyuan: "Hey, these two are barely close to the appearance of Grandpa and Grandpa Yang. Can you see if you can match the shape of the Thousand Faces to the paintings on it?"
Look the same?"
Ming Zhiyuan took it and looked at it, then compared it with Yu Yizhi and Yang Yiling, and said, "Okay, just use these two."
Lan Yujun took out another Guan Ping from the bottom of the wooden box and said with a smile: "This one is mine."
Yu Yizhi took the Guan Ping in her hand and found that the description on it was the same as her own. He also clicked his tongue: "City Lord Senlan really used his daughter as a subordinate and prepared this kind of Guan Ping for you."
, what? Do you still think that you will also be a spy in the future? "
Lan Yujun laughed out loud and said: "That's not true. I asked them to do it quietly myself and put it in several backup locations in big cities. I might want to come out for fun at some point.
It’s time to relax.”
Ming Zhiyuan nodded, "That's fine, as long as those spies in your family don't find out that you have come to Liuye City."
Lan Yujun rolled her eyes at him again and said angrily: "Don't worry, as long as you don't show your flaws, with these qualifications, no one will know who you are."
Yu Yizhi laughed and said, "That's good. Jun'er had the foresight, otherwise he would have followed Zhiyuan to Senlan City and still didn't know what to do? The master of Senlan City has escaped."
Lan Yujun turned around and looked at Yu Yizhi resentfully, "Grandpa..."
Yu Yizhi burst out laughing, Yang Yiling and Ming Zhiyuan also shook their heads and chuckled. Yu Yizhi is now a grandfather teasing his granddaughter.
That night, everyone rested in the house. Early the next morning, Ming Zhiyuan took Yang Yiling out and wandered around the inner city of Liuye City. They walked through several lively and bustling streets and asked people to buy some precious items.
Where to buy Tiancai Dibao?
In the inner city of Liuye City, there are three auction houses that specialize in auctioning various rare genius treasures and cultivation resources.
The largest auction house among them is called Hongye Auction House. It is said that in this auction house, everything that is available in Lingding Continent can be purchased here.
Ming Zhiyuan wanted to make some Thousand Noodles. Other medicinal materials could be bought in high-end herbal medicine stores. Among them, there was a medicinal material called White Jade Vine, which was the most rare.
This medicinal material only grows on cliffs. Because it has a faint meaty aroma, it is easy to be harmed by snakes, insects, rats and ants, so it is difficult to find intact white jade vines.
Since Hongye Auction House claims to be the largest auction house in Hongye City, and also has the slogan of collecting all the natural and earthly treasures in one line, although the white jade vine is rare, I think it can be purchased at Hongye Auction House.
After asking about the day when the auction house would hold the auction, the two went to the herbal medicine store to buy some medicinal materials and some food before returning to the house.
Lan Yujun was tapping the shoulders and backs of Yu Yizhi who was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. When he saw the two of them coming back with food, he quickly took the food box and placed the food on the stone table in the pavilion.
A few people were talking about the auction house while eating.
After Yu Yizhi heard what Ming Zhiyuan said, he said: "Guan Ping is very serious about coming to survey that place. Brother Yang and I can't accompany you in. We can wait for you outside the auction house while you and Jun'er go to auction."
Then white jade vine."
Ming Zhiyuan changed the previous Qianmian Zhang, and it was more or less consistent with the Guan Pian he picked out. The Guan Pian only described the appearance and characteristics of the person holding the Guan Pian.
There is really no problem for Ming Zhiyuan to use the certificate that is seventy or eight points in compliance. It should be possible even if he goes to an auction house where the inspection of certificates is strict.
Ming Zhiyuan nodded. When Lan Yujun heard what Yu Yizhi said, his eyes immediately lit up and he said, "Then can I buy something I like?"
The three of them laughed when they heard this. Ming Zhiyuan asked her while picking up vegetables: "Guess, what should we use to buy white jade vine?"
Lan Yujun blinked her big round eyes, and then realized that these three people were all paupers. When they went to the auction house to buy things, they must use the silver notes in the wooden box. Those silver notes belonged to her family.
Immediately, she also laughed, "Hey, hey, you use my banknote, so you can buy the things I like. After you take the white jade vine, you will use the rest to buy what I want."
Yu Yizhi ate very quickly, and when a few people were talking, he had almost finished eating. When he heard Lan Yujun's charming words, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Jun'er, as long as your father doesn't think about attacking
This, snatch that, something good will definitely happen to your father in the future."
"Huh?" Lan Yujun looked at Yu Yizhi blankly, wondering what he meant by this.
Yu Yizhi laughed a few times, stood up and walked out of the pavilion without explaining much.
Seeing this, Lan Yujun ate in a hurry. He put down his chopsticks and chased after Yu Yizhi. When he saw that Yu Yizhi was just walking in the yard, he followed him and kept asking him what he just said.
?
While eating, Yang Yiling looked at the two people in the yard, looked at Ming Zhiyuan, and said, "It seems that the old family master really regards this girl as his granddaughter? He said that to beg for mercy from you."
Ming Zhiyuan smiled slightly and said: "This little girl is kind-hearted and has no scheming intentions. It is normal for the old family master to treat her as his granddaughter."
Yang Yiling shook his head, "Huh, it's not impossible to be a granddaughter, but what if her father follows a group of Lingding Continent's city masters and warriors to the Tianyuan Continent? Will the old family master be merciful, or will he?"
Is it okay to kill him?"
Ming Zhiyuan looked at him and thought for a moment, "Maybe Lingding Continent was disrupted by us and its strength was greatly reduced. Not only did it not dare to attack and plunder Tianyuan Continent, but it also had to ask us for protection?"
After saying these few words, he couldn't help laughing.
Yang Yiling was stunned for a moment, then put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, rubbed his hands together, turned his head around and thought for a long time, and then said: "I think you are right, this may be very big.
You see, you can do a thousand faces, we also have flying monsters, and that girl, this spy who knows all the big cities in Lingding Continent...ah, no, it's the eyes and ears. With her eyes and ears, we can succeed.
It’s very big.”
"Just the three of us? That girl, we can only know some things about the big city from her mouth, and we can't rely on her for anything else. But Senior Yang is right, we have many favorable conditions, as long as we use these conditions to
To the extreme, even if it cannot severely defeat the strength of the warriors in Lingding Continent, it can still be done to disrupt them and make them discordant."
"The premise is that this girl can't escape our control. If she escapes alive and screams out, spies from Tianyuan Continent are coming... Then, there is no use for us unless we fight hard with them.
spell."
Ming Zhiyuan turned his head and looked at Lan Yujun, who was still walking with Yu Yizhi in the yard and questioning him profusely, and suddenly felt a little guilty for this little girl.
Yang Yiling looked at his expression and sighed, "Zhiyuan, you can't be soft-hearted."
Ming Zhiyuan nodded slightly and said: "As long as she doesn't have other thoughts and doesn't ruin our affairs, there is no need to kill her."
Yang Yiling said "Hey.", shook his head, and walked out of the pavilion.
These three people are not people who are obsessed with killing. They all know that it is extremely dangerous to take Lan Yujun with them. The Lord of Senlan City must have sent people to various places to look for her. People from Senlan City may find Lan Yu at some time.
After Jun, they found their traces again, but none of them could bring themselves to kill such an innocent little girl.
Although Yang Yiling kept reminding these two people, he himself was the same and could not bring himself to kill an innocent girl.
Seeing Yang Yiling walking into the side room minding his own business, he actually looked like he was angry with himself.
Ming Zhiyuan curled his lips. Since he couldn't do it, there was no need to do it. If he wanted to achieve his goal, he could kill anyone. So what's the difference between himself and the devil?
In the yard, Lan Yujun's questioning made Yu Yizhi become annoyed, and he took on the attitude of a grandfather and shouted: "Okay, just calm down. As long as your father calms down, I can make sure that your father is fine."
Lan Yujun pouted, "Does grandpa mean what he said?"
Yu Yi was startled, "What? I still have to write a guarantee note for you?"
When Lan Yujun heard this, he nodded immediately, "Okay, okay, I'll get a pen and paper right now, and grandpa will write a guarantee."
Yu Yizhi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He nodded her little head with his finger and said, "Go ahead and let your brother Zhiyuan write it for you."
Lan Yujun didn't care whether what Yu Yizhi said was a joke or serious, like a gust of wind, he ran into the study and took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and ran to Ming Zhiyuan who was still eating.
"Grandpa said, you can write a guarantee and promise not to harm my father."
Ming Zhiyuan held a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other. He looked at her in surprise and then looked at Yu Yizhi in the courtyard.
Yu Yizhi waved to him with a wry smile and continued walking.
Ming Zhiyuan put down the bowl and chopsticks, "As long as your father doesn't harm us, of course we won't harm him, so you have to make sure your father doesn't harm us first."
Lan Yujun frowned and flattened her mouth, as if she was about to cry, "I promise."
"You promise it won't work. Well, you don't have to worry. We will bypass Senlan City. Unless your father is chasing us personally, we will not take the initiative to find your father, okay?"
When Lan Yujun saw that Ming Zhiyuan was unwilling to write any guarantee, he had no choice but to put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone back in the study and never came out again.
After this day, after several people had dinner on the second day, Ming Zhiyuan took Lan Yujun out of the house and walked towards Hongye Street where Hongye Auction House is located.
Hongye Auction House is located at the end of Hongye Street. The front door is a three-way gate with five floors. It is the tallest building in Liuye City except the main building.
The two walked to the door and saw that a red carpet had been laid out at the entrance of the auction house, and several counters had been set up at the door. At this time, people were already checking in at the counter, paying entry fees and deposits to enter.
Ming Zhiyuan and Lan Yujun walked to the counter, and the people on both sides of the red carpet greeted them respectfully, "Welcoming guests to Hongye Auction House."
Ming Zhiyuan handed over two coupons and a stack of banknotes to the person at the counter.
The person at the counter took the pass, looked at the two of them carefully, counted the banknotes, and issued a receipt to Ming Zhiyuan. Immediately, a young man in Tsing Yi came over and bent down to lead the two of them along.
Enter the auction house.
The boy was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was thin and looked very shrewd. He led the two of them forward and said with a smile: "Two distinguished guests, do you want to sit in the auction hall or in the private room on the second floor?"
“Elegant room on the second floor.”
Before Ming Zhiyuan could answer, Lan Yujun had already rushed to speak.
Seeing that Lan Yujun had already said this, Ming Zhiyuan followed her.
"Oh, okay, a private room on the second floor, one costs five hundred taels of silver notes, or a low-level spiritual stone."
When the boy saw that the two of them were going to the private room on the second floor, he knew that these were high-profile guests, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
Ming Zhiyuan took out a banknote from his arms and handed it to the boy, saying: "Let's go, hurry up, it's too noisy at this door and it's annoying."
The boy took the banknote with both hands, looked at the face value, and bent down even lower, "I will take the two distinguished guests to the private room. It happened to be a private room near the booth that someone had reserved.
, just now, someone came again and said that the owner didn’t come back in time, so he didn’t want the elegant room anymore.
Oh, you two are really lucky. On weekdays, if you don’t ask our shopkeeper, you won’t be able to book that private room..."
Listening to the young man's talk, he seemed to want a reward for the silver. Ming Zhiyuan had no choice but to take out another silver note and give it to the young man, "Okay, this is one hundred taels, don't be wordy.
, serve us tea and fruit snacks, and deduct ten taels for every verbose sentence, and twenty taels for two sentences."
The boy immediately closed his mouth and smiled like a flower. He took the two of them to the second floor and walked through a long corridor. There were private rooms on the right side of the corridor. They walked through
Sometimes, voices can be heard coming from some private rooms.
The waiter led the two of them to the end of the corridor, opened the door to the private room on one side, and made a gesture to invite them in, but pursed his lips tightly.
Lan Yujun burst into laughter, "I'm telling you not to be verbose, but I'm not telling you not to speak."
The boy looked at Ming Zhiyuan, who also nodded with a smile, and walked into the private room with Lan Yujun. They saw that the private room was covered with thick carpets, and there was a large window in the front with a long strip.
There is a low table, two or three imperial chairs covered with soft pillows, and a imperial concubine's couch placed across the wall.
There are four candle holders in the four corners, with several red candles lit on them. There are tea making utensils on the long table, as well as several plates of fruit and cakes.
On the side of the private room facing the hall, in front of the table, is a large open window. A dense crystal bead curtain is hung on the window, blocking the view of the hall.
Ming Zhiyuan walked to the window and looked at the hall. It was indeed very close to the booth. The booth was against the back wall of the hall. It was about one foot high and more than five feet long and wide.
The hall was densely packed with round tables and chairs. Many people were already sitting there, and there were not many empty tables and chairs left.
There is also a row of private rooms on the second floor opposite, and you can vaguely see people walking around in each private room.
The entire auction house looks like two arms forming a semicircle, holding the booth in their hands.
Ming Zhiyuan glanced around, nodded and sat on the chair. The cushions of the chair were soft and it was very comfortable to sit down.
The boy half-knelt on the carpet and said cautiously: "What kind of tea will your distinguished guest drink? I will make tea for your distinguished guest."
