Chapter 131: The Storm Rises Again
More than two hundred miles, Xiao Nan's affairs within an hour, but with Xiuyun to follow, it is much slower.
At first, the two were still distinct, but there was only an occasional question-and-answer conversation, so Xiao Nan also knew more about her.
Her magic cultivation is very low, she is still in the Demon Realm, two years ago, she had no intention of cultivating for a year, and then she had to take care of this group of refugees, and she had no time to take care of it. What's more, in today's situation, where can she get a spirit stone casually as a woman?
The sky was hazy, Xiu Yun lived here for a long time, and it was no problem to run in the dense jungle, and at dawn three hours later, the two of them had arrived in the Que Ring City.
Before entering the city, she was afraid that someone would recognize her, so she went to the side to comb, and Xiao Nan also took the opportunity to change into a simple cloth dress.
Pedestrians who appear on the street early in the morning are often early men and women who need to be busy.
Xiao Nan was in front, tall and very handsome, Xiu Yun was dressed in several patches, and the bun on his head was just wrapped in a faded blue cloth, and the corner of the blue cloth seemed to be hidden on one side of his face, like a dirty refugee.
"Brother Xiao, right here, you can buy salt and rice, as well as all kinds of cloth. She bowed her head with a look of pity and deference.
Xiao Nan looked up, a grocery store, turned around and said, "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”
"Well, I did it on purpose, so that no one would recognize me. ”
When the two entered the store, the shopkeeper at the counter just raised his eyes and glanced at it, presumably because he saw that the two of them were dressed like no big customers.
"Boss, I buy salt. Xiao Nan pointed to the large vat containing salt.
The boss set off, came to the vat, picked up a shovel made of animal bones, took out a piece of brown paper from the shelf, and asked coldly, "How much?"
"This tank is not enough. ”
"What?"
"How many pounds is this tank?"
"You want so much, five taels of salt, one hundred pounds of silver. The shopkeeper was still surprised by Xiao Nan's request, and looked at the cloth-clothed man in front of him in disbelief.
Xiao Nan turned his head sideways and asked Xiuyun, "Is this the price?"
Xiu Yun nodded and hummed softly, still showing deference.
Xiao Nan's hand flickered, and a large ingot of gold was placed on the counter.
The shopkeeper shuddered, and hurriedly picked up the gold to inspect it, and muttered: "How many catties does the little brother want? Where to send it?" Oh, I'm confused, the little brother has a stored jade ....... ”
This is the biggest business that the shopkeeper has done for many years, 1,500 catties of salt, thousands of catties of grain, dozens of pieces of cloth, more than 20 pots, and all kinds of cooking seasonings have been bought hundreds of catties.
In addition to these, Xiu Yun also asked him to buy needles and threads, finished shoes and socks, and some other messy things.
The shopkeeper and a few guys were busy sweating, but their hearts were happy, and the neighbors thought that the shopkeeper had been raided at first.
Leaving the shop and walking a distance on the street, seeing that Xiu Yun was still following with his head down, he couldn't help but chuckle, took out a pot of water and handed it over, "What else do you need to buy? ”
Xiu Yun lowered his head and drank water, smiling secretly, "It's all emptied of his house, it's enough, I buy too much food, I can't use it up for a while, and it will be bad and wasted after a while." ”
"I'll leave you a storage jade, it won't break. ”
She was stunned when she heard this, and only after a while did she raise her eyes and look at Xiao Nan and ask, "You want to leave?"
"I have important things to do. ”
The two continued to move forward, silent for a while, before Xiao Nan spoke again, "I'll come to you after the matter is done, and I'll try my best to help you arrange those people." ”
The other party snorted, Xiao Nan pondered for a moment, slowed down and stood side by side with her, "How can I get a spirit stone here?" I have a lot of things, where can I change them?"
Xiu Yun replied in a low voice: "This is an area where ordinary people live, and the trading of spirit stones has to go to the west of the city, and my family used to do this kind of collection and sale business, but it was very ordinary. If it is very valuable, it is generally in Qinglan Auction House, they are jointly operated by the four major sects, and the business is relatively fair. ”
After listening to her words, Xiao Nan was overjoyed, "Let's go, let's go to Qinglan Auction House." ”
"You have stored jade to give away, and you still lack spirit stones?"
"Hey, it's hard to put into words, I used to be very rich, but before I met you, I was deceived by an old man. ”
What made Xiao Nan shake his head was that the terrain of the city here was too vast, and it took more than an hour to walk from the city to Qinglan Auction House. Single
The scene here is very different from before, the marble building, as soon as you step in, there is a sense of grandeur, and people come and go inside, all of them are well-dressed cultivators.
Xiu Yun is a little embarrassed, Xiao Nan is just habitually vigilant, looking left and right, there are also several counters on the ground floor, but it is overcrowded, and I see a stone ladder in the middle of the ground floor, and there are up and down in groups of three or five.
After thinking for a while, he led Xiu Yun to the second floor, and suddenly felt that the cuffs were pulled, only to see Xiu Yun burying his head lower, and his whole body was trembling slightly, "Brother Xiao, let's get out of here quickly, a few people must have recognized me just now." ”
Xiao Nan turned around when he heard this, and saw a group of men downstairs looking at them, some were pointing, some were whispering, and some were laughing .......
Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows at them, nodded slightly like a friend, and then continued to walk towards the second floor as if nothing happened, "Don't be afraid, they have been discovered anyway, maybe they are just curious, seeing that in such a magnificent place, there will be people in our costumes going in and out." ”
"No, they really recognize me, and I know a few people. Thin beads of sweat broke out on Xiu Yun's forehead.
"I'm quite good at dealing with trouble, so you can take it easy and change the spirit stone first. Xiao Nan quickened his pace and found a deserted counter, Xiu Yun shivering pitifully behind him.
"Brother, are you buying or selling?" asked a thin old man kindly.
"I want to sell this storage jade, how many spirit stones are you worth?" Xiao Nan took out a jade that he had obtained earlier.
The old man took the storage jade from Xiao Nan's hand, looked into the jade with his divine sense, and then said: "This jade is very ordinary, eight hundred high-grade spirit stones. ”
Xiao Nan glanced at his lips and didn't answer, he stretched out his hand and handed out another one, the old man was stunned for a moment, took it and asked, "You also sell this one?"
Xiao Nan nodded, "If the price is right, we will sell it together." ”
As he was talking, a sound of footsteps sounded from behind, "Hey, isn't this Yan Xiuyun, Miss Yan?"
Xiao Nan turned around and saw that the men downstairs had also followed, and there were also a few more young men dressed as sons, all with strange smiles.
Xiu Yun raised his head at this time, but turned his face to the side, his expression was blank, and his eyes were cold.
"Ah! It turned out to be all the royal brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time, you all look old!" Xiao Nan suddenly had a spring equinox on his face, took a few steps forward in front of Xiu Yun, and looked at the group of people who were in a semicircle very enthusiastically.
How could anyone on the other side know him Xiao Nan, seeing his abrupt enthusiasm, they all stared at him stupidly for a while.
"Who are you? Brother Wang? No one of us here believes in kings. It took a long time for a young man in brocade to speak coldly.
"Hmph, who knows you!"
"What do you have to do with Yan Xiuyun? She's a married woman. ”
Xiao Nan waved his hand, and the group of people also stopped talking, and he showed a sincere expression and said: "How is it possible, brothers Wang, I will recognize you when you turn to ashes, I haven't seen you for a long time, why have you even changed your surname?"
"You!"
"You dare to make fun of my son?"
"Bastard, you're looking for death. ”
The other party's emotions were suddenly excited, but Xiao Nan turned around and pulled Xiuyun, who was focusing on him, and returned to the counter to ask the shopkeeper, "How many spirit stones are two, tell me a suitable price." ”
The shopkeeper didn't reply to his words immediately, and still said to the group of angry sons with a kind expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you have something to do, you can find our people from Qinglan Auction House, it's okay, this is not a place to make trouble." ”
As soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, the group of people suddenly reined, and one of them hurriedly smiled, "What the shopkeeper said is, let's go." ”
Soon, the group turned to leave, but a few of them let out a cold snort as they left.
"Little brother, these two jades, originally I was only prepared to pay the price of two thousand high-grade spirit stones, but little old man, I saw that you were pleasing to the eye today, so I made the decision to add another five hundred to you. ”
"Okay, deal. Xiao Nan didn't know the value of these two pieces of jade at all, but after listening to the old man's words, his heart was very comfortable.
The old man also stretched out his hand, and two large wooden boxes appeared on the counter, and said with a serious expression: "You count it, two thousand five hundred high-grade spirit stones, it shouldn't be wrong." I don't know who you are, young man, but be careful when you get out of here. ”
Xiao Nan put away the two wooden boxes and arched his hand with a smile, "Thank you, uncle, there will be a period later." ”
Pulling the corner of Xiuyun's clothes, the two walked downstairs and led her to a corner of the hall on the first floor, Xiao Nan looked at her and raised her eyebrows and looked very calm, "Don't worry too much, I've encountered a lot of this kind of thing, if the momentum is not good for a while, I'll entangle them, and you can find a way to run back ......." ”
"Brother Xiao, you run, listen to me, one of them is the son of the city lord, my family has invited the city lord's father and son to dinner, I have seen it, this time it is a big trouble. ”
Xiao Nan's eyes widened, thinking about the past, he couldn't help but hum and laugh, and said to her: "I get into a lot of trouble every time, and I am the son of a city lord......." Okay, let's go, no matter what, I won't leave you behind. ”
