Chapter 211: Sisters Reunited
Jiang Lai took out his mobile phone, opened the map navigation, and found that he had already left East China, and the location of this Yihe Town was very awkward, neither south nor north, neither east nor west, and it was in the center of the entire country.
Seeing his doubts, Cheng Hua explained with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, there is a reason why the forces of the Great Daomen chose to gather in Yihe Town, and this contains a piece of history. More than 100 years ago, the forces of the various avenues fought endlessly, and there were heavy casualties. Later, in order to avoid a major loss of vitality, they met here to negotiate peace. Because of this, after a slight change in later generations, the name of Yihe Town was born. ”
"Also, this Boxer Town is not part of any sphere of influence, so everyone can rest assured of each other. Moreover, according to the rules, the forces of the various avenues will meet in Yihe Town every three years, and if there is any friction and dispute between the forces, they will be resolved here. Win or lose, once you leave Yihezhen, the past grievances must be written off. ”
"So where are we going now, going straight to the party?"
"Don't worry, this party won't officially start in a few days, and we're here early because there's an auction here tomorrow. The auction in Yihe Town is different from other places in that it is organized by a company called 'Hongming'. The founder of this company is also a Taoist and loves to collect antique objects. Therefore, the things auctioned by Hongming Company are all Daomen antiquities, I think you will definitely be interested. ”
"Daomen antiquities?" Jiang Lai's eyes lit up slightly, he was trying to collect some magic weapons and use them to cultivate the Zixiao Sword. If this Hongming company really has such great ability, you might as well go and see it.
"Mr. Cheng, what do the auctions held by this company use for trading? money, or is it the best jade?"
"Naturally, it's money. Cheng Hua said with a smile: "Money is everything, as long as you have enough money, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy the best jade?" Of course, there are exceptions, unless it is an extremely precious antiquity, it will be used to ask for blood jade." ”
"Blood jade?" Jiang Lai asked shamelessly, "What is that?"
"Mr. Jiang actually doesn't know?" Cheng Hua was slightly stunned, but still patiently explained: "Blood jade is a naturally formed jade, which is more valuable than the best jade, because the whole body is blood red, so it is called blood jade." In our country, this kind of blood jade is very rare, any ordinary piece of blood jade can be sold for tens of millions, if it is the best, the price will be several times or even more, it is no longer a price that ordinary people can imagine. ”
During the small talk, the group came to a hotel in Yihe Town.
Before leaving, Cheng Hua had already made preparations, the rooms were booked, and everyone checked in directly.
Hai Quicksand was arranged next door to Jiang Lai, and when she entered the guest room, she lay on the bed and rested for a while. Originally, she wanted to take a bath, but after seeing the conditions of the hotel, she gave up this plan. Although this is the best hotel in Yihe Town, it can't even reach the three-star standard, and a young lady like her is naturally not used to it.
"Knock knock!"
After sleeping for a while, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Which one?" Hai Liusha got up and walked to the door, looked out through the cat's eye, then opened the door and said, "Mr. Cheng, is there something wrong with me?"
The latter smiled, "Miss Hai, are you free, I want to ask you to come with me, someone wants to meet you." ”
"Who?"
"I'm sorry! This is a secret for the time being, and you'll find out when you go. ”
Hearing this, Hai Quicksand hesitated a little, and the corner of his eye swept towards the guest room next door. Noticing her actions, Cheng Hua smiled and said, "Miss Hai, it's best not to alarm him, that person specially explained, but I only saw you alone." ”
After a pause, he said again: "Don't worry, if you have three longs and two shorts, Mr. Jiang will definitely not let me go, so I don't need to make trouble for myself." ”
Hai Liusha felt that it was reasonable, so he nodded in response and followed the other party out of the hotel.
More than ten minutes later, the two came to a café.
"Miss Hai, we have arrived, and the person who wants to see you is inside. ”
Walking into the café, the lighting inside is very dim, the decoration is simple and elegant, and the stereo hanging on the wall plays soothing piano music, which makes the tense nerves unconsciously relax.
After looking around, Hai Quicksand's gaze was immediately attracted by a familiar back in the corner. Her eyes lit up and she hurriedly walked over, "Sister!"
Hearing her scream, the other party slowly turned his head, wearing a mask and hood to hide his delicate face, but those smart eyes full of cunning betrayed her identity.
"You're finally here. Qing Manrong took off his mask, revealing a beautiful face like a poetic picture, which was intoxicating.
"Sister, it turns out that the client mentioned by Mr. Cheng is you, why don't you call me directly?"
"Silly girl, your phone has been spied on, and if I call you, it will probably reveal my location. Although the people of Black Feather are more snobbish, they are quite disciplined, so I asked them for help. ”
"Sister, what is the important thing you are looking for me?"
Qing Manrong didn't say a word, looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention, so she pulled up Hai Liusha's wrist and rolled up her sleeves. Looking at the eye-catching mark, she frowned slightly and muttered, "Sure enough!"
Hai Liusha was puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Sister, do you know what this mark is?"
The latter nodded, "I thought you would dodge, but I didn't expect to be chosen." Speaking of this, she sighed helplessly, "It's all my fault, if my mother had told me the truth earlier, I would never have let you come into contact with the Daomen Mental Method, and now it's too late to regret it." ”
"Mom?" Hai Liusha's face changed slightly, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Where is my mother?"
"She's gone back. After a pause, seeing her sister's lost expression, Qing Manrong smiled and comforted: "Actually, she also wants to see you, but unfortunately, she has too many things to do, and she really can't spare time." When I met with her some time ago, she asked me to tell you that sooner or later, the three of us will be reunited. ”
"Okay, let's not mention this for now, I came to you mainly to explain something to you. This time, the major forces gathered in Yihe Town in order to compete for three places. I want you to do me a favor, no matter what, I must let Jiang Lai grab one of the spots. If he can't do it, I'm afraid the future of you and me is not optimistic. ”
"He's also in Yihezhen, why don't you just tell him?"
Qing Manrong smiled bitterly, "I have done too many things to be sorry for him, do you think he will still believe me? I know his character too well, if I tell him in person, he will definitely not agree." ”
Hai Quicksand pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what should I do?"
"Don't worry, I've already figured it out. ”
