Chapter Ninety-Six: Extraneous Branches
Zhang Shan's promise is very cunning, if you don't move one finger, then you can move two fingers, or a fist, or even a knife and a sword. But Hu Yijian was more sophisticated, forcing Zhang Shan to give him another blow after making a promise, and accepted Hu Forty-eight as a registered disciple on the spot.
Who would dare to kill Hu Yijian's named disciple! In this way, after Hu Forty-eight has such a big backer, no one in the Tiger Clan will dare to provoke him in the future.
Hu Forty-Eight hurriedly kowtowed to Hu Yijian: "Disciple Hu Forty-Eight has seen Master!" This kid was a blessing in disguise this time, and his voice trembled. Obviously, it was a disaster that flew and his life was difficult to protect, but he accidentally became a registered disciple of Hu Yijian, and this contrast is really big enough.
"Get up, my disciples don't have to follow so many rules, just remember the four words with a clear conscience. "Tiger snatched Tiger Forty-Eight with a sword.
From Hu Meimei's mouth, I knew the reason why Hu Forty-eight was so excited, because Hu Yijian, like Hu Yidao, didn't like to accept apprentices the most. In addition to Hu Meili's successor, Hu Yidao also belongs to me, a cheap apprentice. As for Hu Yijian, except for his son Hu Xiaohu, there is no official heir, and a person with mediocre qualifications like Hu Forty-eight can become his successor, I really don't know how much shit luck he has taken.
After a small episode, the stall owner's voice brought the people present back to the topic: "Everyone, it's time for the bid opening soon." ”
Hu Meili was really interesting, and deliberately asked Zhang Shan again: "Great Elder, the bid is about to be opened, do you say something happy, do you bet or not?"
This is asked, there is no turning back when the bow is opened, how can Zhang Shan regret it when he arrives at this step of the field?
This kid's heart is really strong enough, although he said that he was frustrated everywhere today, he can still laugh: "Girl, don't play this trick for me! When Lao Tzu played this trick, you were still breastfeeding? Do you think you can make me withdraw the bid by calling me? It's too late, the form is about to be announced, you just wait to give me the Hu family knife score!"
Hu Meili brushed her bangs and said, "Okay, then you and I will wait for the show to start!"
The stall owner has actually postponed for a long time, but in my opinion, he has nothing to lose, but has gained a lot of popularity. Because of the good show here, almost all the people in the small venue were attracted to it.
I scanned the crowd and didn't see the Jackal Patriarch, but I don't think he would be indifferent to such a wonderful situation, maybe he is hiding in the shadows now, waiting to see what happens?
But I don't have the heart to deal with him now, after all, the meal has to be eaten bite by bite, as long as I settle Zhang Shan, then he should jump out. After all, the patriarch of the Jackal Clan is also a pivotal figure in the demon world, although he hates me to the bone, it is impossible for him to also fall into this troubled water.
The stall owner cleared his throat and began to announce the winning bid. To tell the truth, because of the businessman running around, his demon world Mandarin is okay, although it is just a simple number to report, but it also gives people a feeling of spring breeze.
"No. 5901 standard, 300 taels of garlic gold, the winning bidder cat lazy cat, congratulations to this cat friend, it seems that lazy people are also lazy. ”
No. 5902 bid, 580 taels of garlic gold, the winning bidder is Zhang Kong, congratulations!"
"Standard 5903, 690 taels of garlic strips gold, the winning bidder is the fox clan Hu Bugui, congratulations!"
"Bid No. 5904, 720 taels of garlic strips gold, the winning bidder is the jackal Chai Jin, congratulations!"
With the gradual announcement of the winning bidders, the sound of scolding in the crowd began to sound, and the winning bidders were naturally a minority, and their excitement had long been drowned in the sound of complaints.
"I'm a mother, alas, what's wrong with these people, are you panicking if you have money to burn, the price is so high, and you can't live?"
"But isn't it, it's all a bunch of crazy people, that wool is only worth five hundred taels of garlic gold, but I voted 450 taels, but I didn't win, why is that brother in the middle here, don't you make money and make money?"
"Damn, the people of the fox clan robbed me of the standard, it's really not a rut, I can only admit that I am unlucky, who makes the family the host and has an advantage?"
However, these complaints were suppressed after a while, after all, the bidders were even more minority than the onlookers who ate melons. The focus of everyone is now on the two wool materials of 5988 and 5987, because no matter who wins or loses, there will be a good show to watch.
The stall owner seems to be a veteran and knows how to whet people's appetites, so the speed of reporting the number is also slow, and it seems that he is waiting for the moment when his popularity peaks.
But the number is limited after all, and no matter how slow he reports, there is a time when he reaches the end.
"Bid No. 5986, 700 taels of garlic strips of gold, the winning bidder is Zhang Feng of the Wing Clan!"
Finally came to this moment, and the next thing was to the two wool materials that Hu Meili and I bid for.
In fact, the two of us competed with Zhang Shan, and I was already ready to win, so we were all relaxed and chatting casually. Zhang Shan is different, although he has been pretending to be calm, but I can clearly see that his eyes are no longer as confident as before.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is no reason why Zhang Shan should not be nervous. Although this kid has seen a lot of money, and now the garlic gold in his hand can crush several people, but after seeing our demeanor, his heart is even more bottomless. After all, his hole cards have been completely revealed, and Hu Meimei's hole cards and I don't know at all.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles. In such a situation where the information is not equal to transparency, he is obviously the more stressed party. It's okay to lose to a few thousand taels of garlic strips, but in the battle with Hu Meimei, he must not lose, otherwise, his good future in the Tiger Clan may end here.
Even if Hu Jun remembers the old love and doesn't have the same knowledge as him, those elders will not let him go. Because for the Tiger Clan, reputation is the most important thing. If a person's reputation stinks into the sewers, then he is definitely not suitable to hold an important position in the Tiger Clan.
Everyone held their breath, and the huge venue was silent for a while, only hearing the good voice of the stall owner with its own echo: "No. 5988 ......"
It's a pity that he was interrupted by life life just halfway through his words, and before he could say the most crucial words.
Moreover, the interrupted person's voice was extremely high, almost roaring, as if he didn't know how wronged he was: "My blanket is gone! My garlic strips are all packed in it? Who stole it, stand up for Lao Tzu? Otherwise, when he is caught, Lao Tzu will chop him into meat sauce!"
The man was tall and fierce-looking, holding a ghost-headed knife in his hand, and he was roaring incessantly.
The news exploded in the crowd like a deep water*, and there was an uproar inside and outside the venue. Because compared to watching a good show, everyone is more concerned about public security. After all, the people who appeared here had at least five thousand taels of garlic strips on them, which was definitely a large amount. If something goes wrong, then some people are afraid that it will be difficult to turn over in this life.
For a while, everyone was checking their blankets, and after a while, several people shouted loudly:
"I've lost a lot of garlic gold!"
"My garlic gold is gone!"
"Damn, who knew that there would also be security problems in this small venue, see how the fox clan will explain this time?"
As soon as this person took the lead, the crowd was immediately furious, and asked the Flying Fox Army to give them a reasonable explanation for the problem of maintaining law and order.
There was such a big thing, Hu San and Hu Jiu came, and even Hu Li, who was waiting for news outside the small venue, also arrived, and then summoned a few people who threw garlic strips over to interrogate the specific situation.
The fierce-looking big man was obviously uncooperative, and his attitude was extremely arrogant: "The influence of the Qingqiu Gambling Stone Conference is all lost in the hands of you stupid foxes! I don't know what the security check of your patrol is for, and you let the thieves get in?"
As soon as the man's words fell, a strange voice said: "Maybe it's not a professional thief? Maybe it's those sanctimonious people who are doing the work of male thieves and female prostitutes behind their backs?"
Solitaire game, as soon as the yin and yang weird words fell, another harsh voice sounded: "That is, these people must have colluded with the Flying Fox Army of the Fox Clan, or is there something to do with it, so that the Flying Fox Army can't afford to provoke them, so they dare to be angry and dare not speak?"
The big man took over the conversation again, and finally aimed at me: "Yes, yes, it is said that the husband of Hu Mint, the commander of the Flying Fox Army, also came here, he is a mere mortal, where did he get so much garlic gold, I estimate that he came here to fish in troubled waters!"
Before the big man could speak, he was picked up by a strange voice of yin and yang: "Miss Hu's husband, isn't it this stinky boy who has eyebrows with Hu Yidao's daughter?
For a while, everyone's eyes were on me and Hu Meili, some were incredible, some were gloating, some were angry, some kept shaking their heads, anyway, there were all kinds of eyes!
What's going on? Hu Meili and I stood here without moving, who did we provoke? Who would suddenly attack the two of us at such a time? And it was organized and carefully planned!
Is it Zhang Shan? No, he's taking care of himself now?
Could it be the Jackal Patriarch hiding in the shadows?
As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge an open gun and it's hard to defend against a dark arrow, and although Hu Meili and I can prove our innocence, it is obvious that they must have more insidious follow-up actions.
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and layers of cold sweat broke out on my back.
