The underground trading club of Jiaozhi City opened as scheduled, attracting people from several nearby cities to come, and in the secluded pavilion under the bridge in the south of the city, hundreds of people walked slowly, and there were no loud noises, which was their unwritten rule.

Jiang Ming and Shen Yi were worried about the black robes, bowing their heads and walking in the crowd, they were going to walk towards the center of this secluded pavilion venue, with the opening of the transaction, the central area will be the most prosperous.

"This trade club is really powerful, can you blatantly build such a huge pavilion venue under the bridge, and the officers and soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion will not supervise it?"

"Since this is a place for the circulation of many underworld treasures, it is inevitable that officials will take over, and they will collude with each other to facilitate this transaction, and maybe there will be big figures of the Qin Dynasty who will stay here. Jiang Ming said.

"That's right, if the government and businessmen don't collude, where can they get high profits?" said Shen Yi.

The trading method is limited to face-to-face trading, all the participating guests will be seated in the lower seats, and various treasures are displayed on the stage, and the value and price are directly announced by the traders, and there are more than five seven-stage warriors and dozens of elite guards in front of the stage, so as not to let anyone take the treasure and leave.

Jiang Ming and Shen Yiwei found a place next to them and sat down, because most of the people around them were covered with robes to hide their faces, so they didn't have to worry about who would deliberately cause trouble.

Seeing that the table was close to full, the manager on the stage said, "Everyone, most of you know the rules of the exchange, all shoppers are not allowed to disclose the source of goods, not to announce the location of the club, not to make trouble here, not to disrupt the transaction, not to trade on credit, violators, the consequences are at their own risk." Next, please introduce your goods to traders, please do not leave the position, we will record the location number of the bidder, and someone will find you after the transaction to complete the exchange of money and goods. ”

The hundreds of people under the table were suddenly silent, quietly paying attention to the movement on the stage.

A white-haired old man walked on the stage, holding a broad-bladed long sword with a cold light, and said, "This sword is made of volcanic cold iron, sharpened iron like mud, extremely sharp, I think everyone has heard of its name, fierce waves." The value of this sword naturally does not need to be questioned, I set the price at 10,000 taels of silver, you can ask for the price, the highest price will get. ”

There was a whispered discussion at the table, the sword of the fierce waves was the weapon of Yu Kongsang, the master of the ninth stage of the Marshal of the Western Soldiers and Horses of the Qin Dynasty, who had killed countless thieves, and I heard that he lost his sword in the battle with the master of the Nine Mansions Alliance some time ago, but he didn't expect it to suddenly appear here.

"Sure enough, the things that come out of this trade fair are not from the right way, and this group of people can be regarded as capable, and they can even get the weapons of the nine-stage masters. Jiang Ming had naturally heard of Yu Kongsang's name, although neither the Qin Dynasty nor the Nine Provinces Alliance had appeared to be guarded by a strong person in the status realm, but there were still two or three masters of the Nine Rank Rank, and he was surprised that he could come into contact with this kind of treasure in a city that was not prosperous.

Shen Yiwu said in a low voice, "This kind of famous sword, no matter where it is brought, it is an eye-catching thing, if one is exposed, Yu Kongsang's anger is afraid to explode!"

Jiang Ming said, "The person who dares to buy this sword must be a capable person, and the person who buys the sword may just be for collection and appreciation, how can such an inconspicuous person show off in front of people?"

Just when Jiang Ming and the two were talking in a low voice, there were already many people in the banquet who were stupid, and as a certain man who couldn't bear it stood up and shouted, the others frantically called out the price, after all, this sword is a rare treasure for many people, and they can pocket it at a lower price, so they are naturally happy to try it, and most of them are not bad for money.

After a burst of fierce bidding, this fierce sword was obtained by a tall man for 53,000 taels of silver, this price made Jiang Ming can't help but smack his tongue, if all the transactions were carried out at this level, the 30,000 taels of silver in his pocket was not enough to ask for the price.

Fortunately, after this opening, five or six treasures in a row are priced at several thousand taels, and the transaction is within 20,000 taels, there are daggers left on the ancient battlefield, and there are fragments of martyrs lost by a certain sect Fan martial arts, interested people emerge in endlessly, and the managers on the stage laugh, the more the goods are auctioned, the higher the commission given by the traders, and the risk of their guarantee to carry out the trade club will be rewarded.

A middle-aged man walked up to the stage again, holding a pot of grass in his hand, and only one green stem was exposed, which flashed with warm green light from time to time, which was quite peculiar.

"This pot of Dhara Soul Ginseng is I met by chance in the mountains, the person who invaded the medicine path should be able to identify, this is a fifth-class medicinal material of real value, according to ancient medicine, this medicinal material can repair the damaged soul, such a mysterious statement is afraid that many people have questioned it, because the martial artist can not touch these things, but its value is incalculable, if you have the opportunity to meet a strong person, this pot of Dhara Soul Ginseng should be a good deal. I set it at fifteen thousand taels, and it was still the one who paid the highest price. ”

Everyone is silent, there can be a few martial artists who can contact the powerful people, this so-called fifth-class medicinal material Dhara soul ginseng is a famous thing in the eyes of most people, of course, this does not include Jiang Ming.

"Fifteen thousand taels, if we follow the deal of the fierce sword, we will not be able to buy it even if we exhaust our families. Shen Yi frowned, showing a very helpless look.

"Let's look at the situation, although we borrowed enough money from the owner of Chang'an to make up 30,000 taels, if the price is too high, we will give up in time and find other medicinal materials. Jiang Ming said.

Finally, someone in the banquet broke the silence, and it was still the tall man who had bought the fierce sword to speak up, Jiang Ming naturally refused to give up easily, stood up and shouted, "Twenty thousand taels, but it is worth the value of this Dhara soul ginseng?"

The tall man glanced back at Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming didn't care at all because of the black robe covering his face, he only heard the trader on the stage say, "It's really worth it, if no one else asks for the price, then this Dhara Soul Ginseng will be yours." ”

There was a whispered discussion at the table, and everyone secretly looked at the young man who was asking for the price, some people scolded the fool, and some people guessed that he was a member of a certain family, and they didn't dare to ask for a price at will.

Dhara Soul Ginseng seemed a little easy to get his hands, Jiang Ming was also pleasantly surprised, and felt that there was no reason to stay here anymore, so he got up and left, but heard a person on the stage, "This treasure of mine is not a sword or a sword, but a relic of the Liyang Dynasty that was tyrannical for a thousand years, I and a few companions risked death in a mausoleum to obtain, after consulting ancient books, I learned that this is the dress of Princess Zhaoyue who jumped out of the city, cut and made of special materials, and is still intact after this thousand years of abrasion, this one is called' Jade Shadow Xianliu's long skirt is priced at 5,000 taels, and please ask for a price. ”

Jiang Ming looked at the treasure that was like a fairy skirt, and was amazed, it must be an extremely rare material that can still be intact after thousands of years, but with this high price of five thousand taels, who is willing to buy a woman's dress?

"This dress ......" Shen Yi looked at it with a worried mind, as if she had seen it in a dream, she seemed to see herself standing on the edge of the cliff with this jade shadow immortal, the breeze blowing the white skirt, like the sea water smashing the waves on the shore, she had nothing to do, as if she wanted to run to the bright moon......

"Yi worry!" Jiang Ming noticed her look, there was some inexplicable sadness, she was a pampered young lady, but she wanted to compete with him here for these worldly money, he looked horizontally, held the 10,000 taels of silver ticket in his arms, and shouted loudly, "Seven thousand taels of silver!"

Shen Yiwu turned his head, but touched Jiang Ming's warm smile, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

You are the weeds drifting in the wind, you are the snow lotus blooming on the edge of the cliff, and you are the woman worthy of the clouds in the world.

The Jade Shadow Immortal Dress was once again pocketed by Jiang Ming at a price of nine thousand taels of silver, and there was no extra money on it, and the remaining so-called treasure transactions were already a spectacle in Jiang Ming's eyes, although later there was an elixir that could easily change appearance, which made Jiang Ming secretly moved. He still remembered that when he encountered the Tiangangmen killer in Jiangcheng, although he had already been on the wanted list, he seemed to be fine, but who could say for sure that someone on the side was not a killer who wanted to take his life? But if he had this disguise pill, there would be less of a threat when he walked outside in the future, but Jiang Ming had no money to do.

"There are a total of 19 treasures on display in this trade club, and 18 have been obtained by all of you here, and this last one will eventually be lifted, but before that, our people will implement a short closure of the clubhouse to avoid the transaction being disturbed by outsiders, please understand. With a wave of the manager's hand, nearly 100 people in black poured out, surrounding the entire venue.

There were many complaints in the banquet, and the representatives of the forces who were burdened with heavy wealth were regarded as such surveillance, no matter how understanding and tolerant they were, they couldn't help but feel thorns in their hearts, Jiang Ming and Shen Yiwu also frowned, and after looking at each other, they watched the movements of these people more cautiously, and they had a hunch that this last treasure would make everyone rush to it.

The manager lined up the guards at the key position of the club, and then seemed to give a lot of advice to his subordinates, and then returned to the stage, bowed to everyone on the table and apologized, "I have waited for you for a long time, because this last treasure is too valuable, so you must take protective measures, please forgive me!"

Someone in the banquet had already shown impatience and shouted, "Okay, with the background of your Jinshui Sect, where does anyone dare to make trouble? Hurry up and present the treasures, don't waste time." The voice in the banquet responded, and there was chaos all of a sudden.

The manager walked back helplessly, with a wave of his palm, only to see two black-clothed people carrying a wooden case covered with black cloth, as the black cloth was lifted, the crimson light suddenly reflected the entire venue, everyone in the audience was dumbfounded, they clearly saw that a piece of blood-red agate stone was displayed on it, where did the people here not know what this item was? Where did the people here not know where this blood-red agate came from? Everyone was silent in this strange surprise, and no one complained about the rude behavior of the former manager.

"No wonder, no wonder! It turned out to be the lost blood-red agate, these people even dared to loot the emperor's things, no wonder they had to be so cautious. Jiang Ming was deeply shocked, driven by money, these underground businessmen have no bottom line, if someone reveals it, I'm afraid everyone in this venue will not be able to get out of the relationship.

The manager coughed lightly and said, "I think everyone knows that this treasure does not have much substantive effect, but I think many people in the banquet will be interested, ask for the price, the reserve price is 100,000 taels!"

100,000 taels! This number is already comparable to the flow of many second-rate families who are in business for several years, even the three major families in Jiaozhi City are not so generous, and the power that can squander 100,000 taels of silver like dung, I am afraid that the entire dynasty may not have much. Jiang Ming was also amazed at the great appetite of this Golden Water Sect, but how many people dared to touch this hot potato?

Sure enough, someone in the banquet shouted, "This thing is too expensive, not to mention whether you can afford it, even if you can get it, how can you get out of this Cochin City?"

The manager said, "Everyone, please rest assured, you are all distinguished guests of the underground trading club, my Jinshui Sect naturally took into account these problems, as long as the transaction here is successful, this treasure will be secretly sent to the guest's mansion by my Jinshui Sect, I think even the royal family of the Qin Dynasty will give me the face of the Jinshui Sect." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, the people from the Jinshui Sect were domineering, and they were still domineering on other people's territory, and they did not take blood red agate as a taboo at all, and many ambitious people dispelled their last concerns, and their eyes were full of fire and infinite reverie about power and power.

Jiang Ming smacked his lips and said, "Having power and money is easy to do, but now it has nothing to do with me." Let's go!" Shen Yiwei hurriedly followed, the current venue is no longer the black market of the past, once it is involved in the struggle for state power, all simple transactions will be swept into a sinister whirlpool, and if you are not careful, you will be shattered.

After going to the stage, he completed the transaction, and put the wooden box containing the Dhara soul to participate in the Jade Shadow Immortal Skirt on the back, Jiang Ming walked out of the secluded pavilion venue with Shen Yi's worries, and walked straight to the Qianfeng Inn, and the last call he heard was as high as 320,000, and the tall man who had bought the "Fierce Tao" stood up again and shouted coldly, "400,000!" No one dared to call the price in response.

"Jiang Ming, this Jinshui Sect's stretched hands and feet in Jiaozhi City are too arrogant, this time they actually robbed all the blood-red agate, and they also started trading in the black market generously, aren't you really afraid that the royal family of the Qin Dynasty will turn their faces?" Shen Yi talked about it without scruples, fortunately, the two of them walked on a small road, and the sky was dark, and there were no idlers wandering around, so there was no need to worry about being listened to by thoughtful people.

Jiang Ming said, "It shouldn't be the hand of the Jinshui Sect himself, after all, it is a big sect with a strong person in the status realm, how can it wantonly provoke the dignity of a great dynasty? That underground trading club is participated by traders from all sides, and the publicity and introduction are also carried out by themselves, it can be seen that this blood-red agate is not looted by the people of the trading club, but there are always ambitious people who dare to trade there with this kind of treasure, and people are always endless, but they don't know who the owner of the blood-red agate is a moment ago." ”

Shen Yi said worriedly, "Don't care about him, at least it has nothing to do with us, it is estimated that this news will spread far and wide, and there is a transmission of the seventh act news organization, or it won't be long before it will reach the ears of that emperor, and the wind and rain in this Cochin City will change non-stop." ”

"It should be, but since my goal has been achieved, I can go to Wohua Mountain tomorrow, and I can't control the rights and wrongs in this city. Jiang Ming smiled, after all, there was no danger in purchasing the Dhara Soul Ginseng, and when the soul of the Night Spring recovered somewhat, he would be able to concentrate on following the guidance of the parchment scroll to follow the path of the Hidden Rock.

"Ming?" Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't resist this decision, but he always felt a little regretful, so he said, "Okay, when Ming leaves, you have to accompany me to walk around the city for a good life." This person, every time he goes to a city or a place, he must always enjoy the scenery, taste the wine, and leave traces of depth or shallowness, which is not in vain!"

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "What you said is arrogant, I can't refuse, of course it's as you wish." It's just that I also have a wish, if you don't mind, can you wear that Jade Shadow Immortal Skirt to me?"

Shen Yiwu glanced at it lightly and said, "Are you just waiting here?" What a dangerous guy, what's so beautiful, it's just a dress!"

Jiang Ming said, "Didn't I send you anything?"

It's rare to have a long dress worthy of you, and it should be regarded as a gift in return for you giving me a piece of the Wasteland Ding. ”

Shen Yi pouted and said, "You are really extravagant, you are willing to buy a dress with nine thousand taels, so you never thought about paying back the creditor." Forget it, it's not difficult for you, as for that fragment, it's useless for me to keep it, what is there to mention. ”

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "Then don't mention it, you can be regarded as agreeing?"

Shen Yi said worriedly, "It's cheap for you, wear a long skirt for you, and make a lip for you, Jiang Minggongzi don't blink!"

The Liyang Dynasty thousands of years ago was very famous in the history of the Zhutian Wild Domain, and it was extremely rare to be able to dominate most of the Wild Domain with the power of a single country, even if it goes back thousands of years. It is rumored that the martial arts realm of Zhu Yu, the last emperor of the Liyang Dynasty, is a half-step heavenly position, and this kind of strength can be ranked in the land of Sanyuan, and he has tens of thousands of warriors and millions of iron armor under his command.

However, Zhu Yu's strength did not protect Liyang too much, many years of conquest and war, poor soldiers, the domestic economy and contradictions have reached an irreconcilable state, the turmoil of the dynasty finally broke out in the accumulation, and quickly drowned the huge Zhu Tianye, even if Zhu Yu is a martial artist, but in the turmoil of the people, he can only tiptoe and difficult to move, and finally was infiltrated into the army by the fine work, and was killed by the strange poison. Later generations commented on Zhu Yu, although he is an enterprising emperor, he can't be the king of inheritance, alas!

Compared with Emperor Zhu Yu, who had different praises and disapprovals, his thirteenth daughter Princess Zhaoyue left the world a shocking story. The emperor was defeated, the whole dynasty was in turmoil, all parties were strong and prominent, dozens of rebels besieged the capital of Liyang, millions of people were panicked, but the prince abandoned the city to join the enemy, and other princes and princesses followed suit, only Princess Zhaoyue knelt in front of the temple and refused to leave. When the rebels poured into the palace, it seemed that they would slaughter the blood of the Zhu family, the dead were piled up into a hill, and the blood and water flowed into a river, at that time everyone was wrapped in money and fled, only she was holding high the flag of the king of Liyang, wearing a pure white jade shadow fairy dress, walking through a thousand pilgrimage stone steps, standing coldly on the high platform of the imperial city, only shouting "Eight hundred years from the sun, three thousand years of loyalty", and then threw himself into the city and shattered the bones.

Shen Yiwei walked towards the garden and towards Jiang Ming, the jade shadow fairy in the moonlight was pure white and flawless, as beautiful but light as her. She's beautiful, so beautiful that it's flustering.

"Doesn't it look weird, does it?" Shen Yiwu rolled his fingers around a strand of long hair, looked down at the pure white dress, and unconsciously warmed up.

"No, no, it's beautiful. Jiang Ming was a little stunned, in the eyes of the so-called people, even if others were in every way, they were not as beautiful as the people they were reading.

"You can use the word beautiful to describe outsiders, can you use the word beautiful?" Shen Yiwu approached with a smile, sat on the stone bench on the edge of the cherry blossom garden with his skirt on, and said casually.

"Hmm, is there a difference?" Jiang Mingwei asked, as if he remembered something again, and said in surprise, "Yi worry, it's the end of April, the season is close to summer, most people in the southern region call this time 'Xiaoxia', I asked the people at the inn before, saying that there is a unique cherry blossom wine in Jiaozhi City, just to come, in this night of cherry blossom withering, taste the residual aroma of wine, what do you think?"

Shen Yi glanced at his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "Just put on a long skirt, you want me to drink?"

Jiang Ming didn't hear clearly, frowned, and said with a smile, "What's the problem?"

"It's nothing, go get the wine, this is what you owe me, it just happens that this time is not too cold, you can have a drink." Shen Yiwei didn't dwell on these small details anymore, all she cared about was when, where and who she was drunk with, and at the same time made her free heart more pure.

Sakura wine, mellow, warm, refreshing.

Shen Yi is worthy of being a drunkard in the middle school, a glass of cherry blossom wine is in her stomach, and she can't help but pour her own wine, Jiang Ming originally wanted to taste the realm of the beautiful wine Haoyue Beauty, so he turned into a drinker and fought with it. It's that sentence again, if you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk, the two of them are drunk after just a few glasses, and the so-called residual fragrance of the summer night is the poison that urges life, and people have to fall asleep.

Shen Yiwu was confused, so he fell into a dream, there was him in the dream, and there was a man who couldn't see his face clearly, he was opposing Jiang Ming, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Shen Yi thought about going over to greet Jiang Ming, but found that her feet were stuck in the mud and she couldn't move at all, she wanted to shout, but found that there was no sound at all.

She suddenly saw the man waving his hand angrily, a red light flashed, and a long sword appeared in the man's hand, which slashed through Jiang Ming's half of his chamber without any accident, and red blood gushed out. Jiang Ming took a few steps back, the corners of his mouth seemed to be arguing about something, his chin turned out to have a thick beard, and there was a thumb-length scar on his left cheek, the whole person looked quite tired and depressed, he seemed to be bitter, even if the other party held a sword in his hand, he no longer had that common edge and spirit.

The man showed a hideous smile, arguing, roaring, and finally rushed over, and the long sword swept out a sword towards Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming could dodge, but still did not fight back, his face was as cold as ashes, and the shape retreated step by step. When there was no way to retreat, he waved his right hand, and the ink-black halberd was in his hand, clashing with the sharp sword, but it was not difficult to see that Jiang Ming had been avoiding the battle, but the man was blindly pressing, and the attack became more and more ferocious, and finally the halberd was knocked away, Jiang Ming lost his weapon, and he was even more embarrassed, and he avoided life and death all the time.

Shen Yi wanted to rush out to help Jiang Ming, she didn't know what he had been through, but a great sadness hung over her heart, making her worried. She couldn't watch him being killed, he was her only friend, he was the only person in the world who would protect her after her father's death, she looked at the long sword with killing intent in every move, Jiang Ming seemed to have no room to resist, but she couldn't move half a step.

Suddenly, she saw a figure pass in front of her, the cold light flickering, and a short sword stained with blood, piercing her eyes, and freezing in sad tears. It was a woman in a white dress, and her face seemed to be covered by mist, giving people a very unreal feeling, but Shen Yiwei still saw that the woman in the white dress stabbed the short sword into the man's chamber behind her back, and there were two lines of tears on her face.

The man's eyes turned to stare at the woman in the white dress, and he said something in disbelief, and even his face was distorted, until he lost his voice and lowered his head, and after a long time, the man's body gradually became cold. The woman in the white dress supported the man who was not blinding, step by step, step by step, slowly walking towards the distance, blood dripping all the way.

Jiang Ming covered his mouth and was about to catch up, but he seemed to hear what the woman in the white dress said, and suddenly stopped, and tears were already coming out of his eyes.

For some reason, Shen Yiwei saw this scene, her heart ached like a knife, she woke up in shock, and looked bitterly at Jiang Ming, who was sleeping on the stone table, and couldn't tell whether it was in a dream or reality for a while.

She began to cry for no reason, and even though the sad dream had faded, her heart could no longer be easy and free.

She reached out and grabbed Jiang Ming's arm, and muttered in a low voice, "Are you really, do you have a beard?"

In the middle of the night, the moon still hung in the sky, and there was no voice to respond to her sorrows.
