The streets of Xianyang City are full of people, because it is the evening of the day, the working people of Qin State end a day of hard work in the fields, return home to eat and rest, some ordinary people living outside Xianyang City will also bring their wives and daughters into the city to buy some daily necessities at this time. Some local traders and foreign merchants in Xianyang City will also put the better goods sold in the store on the shelves at this time, waiting for business to come, so Xianyang City at this time is the most populous and active time of the day.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi walked on the street, without any entourage with them, originally before going out, his mother wanted to arrange a few domestic soldiers with martial arts skills to follow them, Meng Tian said to his mother that if there are people in Xianyang City who can't deal with themselves, then it is useless to find a few people to follow, so let the mother not have to arrange someone for them to protect them. The mother couldn't resist Meng Tian, so she had to give up and let the two brothers go out.

The two of them did not bring an entourage, nor did they wear too gorgeous clothes that symbolized the nobility of the Qin State, and Meng Yi only brought a few ingots of gold and silver with him, which he put in the inner lining of his chest. Meng Tian asked his younger brother where he had any gifts to sell, after all, it was the first time he had been a guest at Xiangguo's Mansion, and it seemed impolite to leave empty-handed. Meng Yi smiled and said to his brother that as long as there are things in Xianyang City, then Xiangguo Mansion will definitely have them, if Xiangguo Mansion does not have something, then there will basically be no one in Xianyang City, so it is estimated that it will be difficult to pick a gift for this Xiangguo Lord, but today the two of them are lucky, it is said that the Hu people caravan will have some treasures brought from their countries for auction today, and the two of them can go and take a look.

When the two of them walked to the place where the Hu caravan was, they saw a group of people gathered around a high platform from a distance, and from time to time there was a burst of applause, Meng Yi said: "It seems that the treasure auction has begun, and we are a little late." ”

Meng Tian said, "It's okay, let's go over and see what else is being sold." ”

The two people squeezed through the crowd and reached the front, and on the high platform between them, a bearded man dressed in strange costumes and wearing a round hat was introducing a treasure in his hand in the not very proficient Qin Chinese dialect, and he was holding a golden disc with some strange patterns carved on it. There were already several people in the crowd who had bid, but the bearded man didn't seem to be very satisfied with the price, so he kept introducing the benefits of the treasure in his hand, Meng Tian listened for a while, and knew that this disc was made of gold, and it was originally a special item for the king of a country, and the pattern on it was painted with some gods of that country, and then said that the person who eats with this plate can be healthy and inviolable. Meng Tian and Meng Yi smiled, they didn't believe this statement, just by eating on a plate can ensure that they are not affected by diseases, then wouldn't it be a joke to strengthen their own martial arts.

Eventually, the disc was bought by a man dressed as a pot-bellied merchant for five ingots of gold, and the two of them paid for it with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. Next, a woman came up from behind the high platform, the woman was dressed in a blue exotic dress, her face was covered, she was tall, but her hair was the same black as that of the Qin people, not the same yellow hair as the man who was auctioned. The woman walked up to the stage with light steps, holding a golden knife in her hand, which along with the scabbard was golden, and looked like it was also made of gold.

The man said to the crowd below the stage in an unfamiliar Qin dialect: "This knife is also made of gold, but the blade is indeed made of the hardest metal in the world, and anything can be cut." Saying that, he took the knife from the woman's hand, then jumped off the stage and picked up a stone and returned to the platform, and then slowly cut the surface of the stone with the tip of the knife, and a gap broke in the stone where the tip of the knife crossed, and when the tip of the knife completely cut the whole stone, the stone was divided into two, half fell to the ground, and the other half was in the hand of the Hu man, you can see very clearly, the surface of the stone is very smooth, which shows the sharpness of this knife.

Meng Tian wanted to buy it, and just as he opened his mouth to ask the price, suddenly a man in gorgeous costumes jumped onto the stage with several men who looked like entourage. After getting on the stage, several attendants stood around the stage, and the man in a fine costume walked towards the woman who came to the stage with a knife. Walked up to the woman and sniffed on the woman, then smiled lightly, then walked up to the bearded man and asked, "How much is your knife?" ”

The Hu man didn't know what kind of person this was, and it looked like he should be very rich, but he had traveled to many places and met many people, and knew what kind of price he should say when he met someone, so he said bitterly: "This uncle, this knife is what I got in a country in the Western Regions, and today in Xianyang City, since the uncle fell in love with this knife, then this knife villain will charge a cost price, and the uncle will give me ten ingots of gold." ”

"Ten ingots of gold to buy such a knife, why doesn't this master think it's worth it? In this case, I'll give you five more ingots of gold, and how about you sell this little beauty to me as well?" The man in gorgeous clothes took the knife and turned his head to look at the blue-clothed woman with a masked face, and smiled evilly.

Meng Tian looked at the man on the stage and asked Meng Yi: "Who is this person, why does Xianyang City have such a person, but I don't know? Why is it more arrogant than some royal children?"

Meng Yi said: "I don't know, I rarely go out to these places, I think it should be the descendant of a minister in the court." But it's arrogant enough. ”

Meng Tian nodded and didn't speak, just looked at the stage quietly, but the words of a few people next to him caught his attention. A man said to his friends: "This Liu Xiaoye finally wants to attack this Hu woman, a few days ago, this Liu Xiao Ye came to see the performance of these Hu people and fell in love with this Hu woman, but I don't know what to do recently and has not come, I don't hear that tomorrow this Hu caravan will leave Xianyang City, tonight I estimate that Liu Xiaoye will definitely take this Hu woman home." ”

Another person asked, "Who is this Young Master Liu? Why haven't you heard of such a domineering figure in Xianyang City besides the princes of the royal family?"

"You don't know this, this Liu Xiaoye also suddenly appeared in Xianyang City in this half a month, and he is much more powerful than those royal sons, a few days ago he was also here, the younger brother of the current king, Chang'an Hou met Liu Xiaoye here, what was the result, the two competed for this Hu woman, but someone said a word in Chang'an Hou's ear, and then Chang'an Hou left without saying anything. What kind of person do you think Chang'anhou is, the younger brother of the current king, but he has not been able to suppress this Liu Xiaoye. ”

Meng Tian showed a look of surprise in his eyes after hearing this, and Meng Yi beside him was the same. Liu Xiaoye on this stage was able to suppress Cheng Cheng, thinking that the origin should not be too small, but I have never heard of such a person in the entire Xianyang City, and this person himself does not know it. So Meng Tian nodded to Meng Yi, Meng Yi turned around and asked the person who spoke: "This little brother, I heard the meaning of your words just now, you should be very clear about the details of this Little Master Liu?"

The man who spoke saw that someone was asking himself, and the man who was asking didn't look like an ordinary person, so he leaned over and whispered: "This adult sees that you have an extraordinary bearing, and I don't think it's like us small people, to tell you the truth, since this Liu Xiaoye left here that day, I have quietly followed him, guess where he went in the end?"

"Oh, where did he end up?" Meng Yi asked.

The man didn't speak, he gestured with his hand, Meng Yi saw it, understood what it meant, and took out a piece of broken silver from his chest and gave it to the man. The man put the silver in his arms and said, "The last place that this Young Master Liu went to was Lord Lu Xiangguo's house, and he still walked through the back door, not through the front door of Xiangguo's mansion. ”

Meng Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I know, thank you for this big brother." ”

When the man saw that the person who questioned him was not very old, but his bearing was extraordinary, and his hand was quite generous, he thought that he had only sold news, and he got a piece of silver, which was enough for his wine money this month, and his heart was happy, and then he squeezed out of the crowd and left.

Meng Yi told Meng Tian about the conversation just now, and Meng Tian asked, "Lü Buwei's person, and did this person enter the Lu Mansion through the back door? What does this person have to do with the Lu Mansion?"

Meng Yi shook his head and said he didn't know. At this time, on the stage, Liu Xiaoye gave the Hu man twenty ingots of gold, and glanced at a few entourages, and several entourages stepped forward and grabbed the blue-clothed Hu woman and pulled them down the stage. The woman was very frightened and asked the Hu man for help in the Hu language. When the Hu man saw it, he also grabbed Liu Xiaoye's sleeve and said that this woman was his daughter and he would not sell her, so he asked Liu Xiaoye's subordinates to be merciful and let them go.

Liu Xiaoye said: "In Xianyang City, there is nothing I want to do that I can't do, your daughter I want to decide, I don't think the money is enough, how about I send you another twenty ingots of gold tomorrow?"

The Hu man looked at his daughter and said, "It's not about money, we just came here for business, and besides, my daughter is still young, I hope the adults can let our father and daughter go, I am willing to give all my remaining treasures to the adults, I just ask the adults to let my daughter go." ”

Liu Xiaoye laughed, broke open the sleeve of his coat that was caught, looked at the woman in blue who looked even more beautiful because he was afraid, and said: "Your daughter in this young master's picture is your daughter's blessing, rest assured that your daughter will do whatever business you want in Qin Country after following me, no one will dare to make it difficult for you with me." ”

"And what if you're gone?" suddenly a voice came.
