Chapter 148: The First City in the World
Arriving in Bianjing, Steward Xu and others went to the Sifang Auction House of the head office to report, while Cheng Yue and the other three had to find another place to live.
Bianjingju is not easy.
As the capital of the Jin Kingdom in the Central Plains, Bianjing has always been the place where the wealth of the world gathers, so the cost of living is also very high, the accommodation cost of a hotel alone is five or six times or even more than ten times that of other places, not to mention the food, drink, and action in addition to accommodation.
Fortunately, Cheng Yue is not an ordinary foreigner, and he also made a lot of preparations before coming, and accumulated more than 70,000 taels of silver by selling talismans day after day.
Lu Wenzheng likes to be exquisite, and Cheng Yue is not interested in wronging himself and Zhao Yuzi for money, so he went straight to a very high-grade inn and rented a small courtyard to live in.
Lu Wenzheng is an idle character, just put down the salute, and before he could take a breath, he shouted that he wanted to go out shopping, Zhao Yuzi is a girl's heart, and he is also very yearning for the lively and prosperous place, the first time he came to Bianjing, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, everything is fresh, and he can't see enough, and he doesn't want to nest in the inn, and he wants to go out shopping at the same time, and then buy some Bianjing specialties or something.
Cheng Yue couldn't resist these two people, so he had to hang out with them on the street with his money bag.
Lu Wenzheng finally knew that this was not his own land, and his behavior was a little more restrained, and he only commented on the scenery of Bianjing all the way, but he didn't cause any trouble.
Cheng Yue came to Bianjing twice before, for various reasons, he couldn't have a good time, and he felt a little regret in his heart, this time he caught the opportunity, which can be regarded as compensation, and the other two people have a chat and laugh to hang out, occasionally Zhao Yuzi fell in love with something, and bought and gave her without saying a word, it was a local tyrant's addiction.
However, to Cheng Yue's surprise, while shopping, he suddenly realized that the three of them were being targeted!
At this time, his cultivation is getting higher and higher, and his perception is extremely keen, if someone sends out a more targeted aura to him, such as staring at him murderously, or if he has bad intentions towards him, even if he is far away, he can sense it!
Cheng Yue pretended to talk and laugh with Lu Wenzheng, paralyzing the stalker, and then suddenly turned his head and cast his eyes on the place where the stalker was hiding!
The stalker was a hawker-like guy, with a heavy flat pole beside him, and he didn't know what it contained, and he had been squatting in a corner of the wall before, keeping an eye on Cheng Yue from the corner of his eyes, quietly paying attention to his whereabouts.
At this time, seeing Cheng Yue suddenly cast his eyes on himself, the hawker immediately knew that he was exposed, and when he saw that Cheng Yue was about to rush over and capture him, the hawker threw down the flat shoulder without saying a word, turned around and ran!
It's just that how could Cheng Yue let him go? From afar, he shot out a Taiyin True Qi at the back of the hawker!
The peddler was not in vain, his figure flashed like a ghost, not only dodging Cheng Yue's Taiyin true qi, but also using the pedestrians next to him as a cover, and disappeared in three or two steps, Cheng Yue chased to the place where the hawker disappeared and took a look, and found that there were a few pieces of torn clothes on the ground, which were worn by the hawker before!
"Yes!"
Cheng Yue's gaze suddenly sharpened, and while dodging the killing moves, he could also take off his clothes and change his dress, where is this a means that ordinary thieves can have? It is clearly the work of a master who is proficient in this way!
At this time, Lu Wenzheng and Zhao Yuzi also noticed that the situation was different, and hurriedly ran over to ask about the situation.
Cheng Yue didn't hide it from them, and directly told them what he had just done.
"We just arrived, and we didn't offend anyone, why are we being targeted?" Lu Wenzheng asked incomprehensibly.
Cheng Yue didn't know the answer to this question, he just vaguely felt that the stalker seemed to be coming at him!
At this time, he has attracted a lot of attention by performing his law skills in public, because there are too many people who cast his eyes on him, he can no longer distinguish whether there are malicious eyes, in case things become troublesome, he was approached by the officials of the Jin Kingdom, he didn't say a word, pulled Zhao Yuzi and Lu Wenzheng and left!
The stalker knows how to change his pretend to be anti-reconnaissance, Cheng Yue naturally understands it, and took Lu Wenzheng and Zhao Yuzi into a no-man's alley, offended, and put the two into the Qiankun bag, and he also changed into a brocade robe, took out a folding fan, and turned into a young and wealthy nobleman!
After that, he wandered around Bianjing City aimlessly twice, until he confirmed that there was no "tail" to follow, so he casually changed inns and lived in.
"Who leaked our whereabouts?" came out of a cluster of bags, and Lu Wenzheng asked angrily.
Cheng Yue shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Then are they planning to be unfavorable to us?" Lu Wenzheng asked again.
Cheng Yue smiled bitterly, Lu Wenzheng asked questions that he didn't know the answers to.
Cheng Yue thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "In short, there are millions of people in Bianjing City, as long as we don't reveal our whereabouts, those people won't be able to find us." ”
"Then are we going to the auction yet?" Lu Wenzheng asked urgently, he was still thinking about auctioning beauties from all over the world!
"Go, of course we have to go!" Cheng Yue said, "But before the auction starts, let's hold back for a while! As soon as the auction is over, let's leave the place of right and wrong immediately!"
"Damn bastards, don't let me know who you are, or I'll have to beat you out of the shit!" Lu Wenzheng roared like thunder, and finally came to Bianjing for a trip, but because of some unknown guys, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was simply unbearable!
Cheng Yue is also a little regretful, after all, with this time, he has already come to Bianjing three times!
The most calm of them is estimated to be Zhao Yuzi, although she has not been shopping for a long time, Cheng Yue has bought her a lot of things, holding these things, this girl is about to faint with happiness.
Cheng Yue looked at her appearance and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
After that, for a whole day, the three of them did not leave the door, did not step out of the second door, stayed in the guest room and did not go out, until the morning after arriving in Bianjing, when the top auction of the Sifang Auction House was about to begin, they walked out of the inn and went to the meeting.
……
Sifang Auction House, as the world's leading auction house, its headquarters is naturally not comparable to the branches, not much to say in terms of decoration, in a word: splendid, gorgeous!
In terms of architectural style, this auction house is even more amazing than the auction house in Pingjing, because it is a real castle in the sky!
What is a castle in the sky? Naturally, without the support of pillars and walls, the buildings in the void can be displayed.
This auction house is like this, a total of seven floors, more than 100 zhang wide huge building is suspended in the air more than ten meters from the ground, below is a fairy mist misty small lake, and the ground is only connected by three beautiful white jade bridges, the whole building is like a fairy dwelling, its ghostly workmanship, breathtaking!
When Cheng Yue and the others arrived, there were already many carriages parked outside the auction house, and many of them were inlaid with gold and silver, and decorated with various jewels and jade ornaments.
However, Cheng Yue and the others turned a blind eye to these carriages, because as soon as they got off the car, they were shocked by the main building of the Sifang Auction House!
"My queen mother, how did you build this house?" Lu Wenzheng asked with his mouth wide open.
Cheng Yue was shocked, leaned out his spiritual tentacles and carefully perceived it, and found that in the lake under the main building of the Sifang Auction House, there was an invisible and colorless power that was continuously released, and it was this power that lifted the auction house into the air!
"That's a good idea!"
Cheng Yue praised from the bottom of his heart, although he couldn't tell what the power was, he was convinced that the designer of the auction house could conceive and build such a fantastic building!
Steward Xu was in charge of the reception outside the auction house, and when he saw them arriving, he hurriedly greeted them and took them to the white jade bridge.
While walking, this person also said to Cheng Yue and them: "Guest officer, you really came to the right place this time! There are many rare treasures in the treasures on display this time, all of which are rare things that have been seen for thousands of years, if you can get one, I really don't know if it is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes!"
"What's exact?" Cheng Yue asked curiously.
Steward Xu stuck to his side, and whispered mysteriously: "I'll tell you about this, this time the baby has ......."
"Really?" Cheng Yue's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the reserve price of these things?"
Steward Xu didn't speak, just made a gesture of seven and shook it in front of Cheng Yue.
"Damn!"
Cheng Yue scolded angrily, his money is only enough to buy one, and it must be sold at the reserve price, but how can there be such a good thing in the world? !
