Although the quarrying will be an official activity, but because this is also the annual event of Wucheng, singing and dancing that is naturally indispensable, in the most elegant brothel in Wucheng called the red sleeve fang, before Ximen Yichen also heard of the luxury of this quarrying conference, today to see, the southern kite country is really as the outside world said, there is really a lot of money to spend, the carved pillars made of pure gold are divided into southeast and northwest to support the entire semi-cylindrical building, the center of the building, is a large stage, below the stage, is a piece of blue waves, floating in the blue waves with a little lotus lamp, lotus frivolous, rippling blue waves, walk in, you smell the intoxicating fragranceThere are hundreds of tables neatly placed inside, and there are golden cups and utensils on the table in turn, elaborate carvings, and exquisite craftsmanship, but it shows that everything here has been carefully selected, which is enough to match the identity of any comer, Ximen Yichen is not like fanfare this time, he is wearing an extremely ordinary cloth shirt and follows behind Qin An, this time the special funds of the imperial court have not arrived, this is a doubt that plagues Ximen Yichen's heart, and he has privately sent someone to inquire about the real reason why the silver has not arrived.

Qin An greeted everyone one by one and then handed the number plate in his hand to the guard at the door, after the guard carefully identified that there was no problem, he let Qin An and Ximen Yichen in, they came relatively early, because there were not many guests, Qin An found his position according to the number plate, just wanted to sit down, and remembered that the person standing behind him was dignified and left the king, and the body that went down hurriedly wanted to get up, and was pressed down by Ximen Yichen, although he was sitting, but Qin An felt like sitting on pins and needles, the whole person seemed very restless, and waited for a while, someone walked in at the door, it was the second master of Aofeng Villa, Xue Aotian。

Xue Aotian and Xue Aofeng two brothers jointly built Aofeng Villa is one of the four major sword-casting families in the four countries, the sword they made, but hundreds of slashes, good craftsmanship is inseparable from good raw materials, every year Xue Aotian will bring enough silver, because he has a unique vision, and the scalp blood flow that does not have to fight every year can also be quite rewarding, however, now their Xue family's business is bigger, some time ago just received a batch of large orders, need more raw materials, so this time he is also full of energy, hoping to make some gains, Xue Aotian looks almost in his early forties, his attitude is a little arrogant, and he just snorted coldly when he passed by Qin An's table, did not say hello.

"Grandson Turtle, what's the big deal, isn't it just a businessman covered in copper stench?" Qin An is a court official, but now he is looked down on by a businessman who has no taste or title, and he is naturally angry in his heart, "Hey, the country is in decline, and even us people can't raise their heads!" Qin An said helplessly, in previous years, when he came here, none of those people rushed to tie him up, but this year's situation is very different from previous years, there is no one to deal with, Tianlong Country was first miserable Baiyun Country, and then grovelled to let Northern Qi sue for peace, now, Tianlong Country has fallen from a first-class country to a second-class country, and the second-class small country refers to some county kingdoms that are not good at national strength, financial strength, and military strength, these countries can only live as parasites of the four countries, it stands to reason that the second-class countries do not even have the qualifications to enter and exit here, and these people are of course disdainful of Qin An。

Qin An held his breath in his heart, so he had to drink glass after cup of water to try to extinguish the anger in his heart, Ximen Yichen always had a cold face, standing beside him without saying a word, the country is strong, the people are strong, the country is weak, the battle of the four countries, the strong wins, when your national strength is not as good as others, if you want to get the respect of others, it is simply impossible, thick and thin, this is what Tang Ning taught him, after Xue Aotian sat down, a group of people who walked in after him were uniformly embroidered with a big Rong character on their clothes, a family that can use this surname as Rong, must have a prominent status, yes, this is the first home of weapon manufacturing, the Rong family, It's just that Ximen Yichen didn't expect that the Rong family just sent a steward, and none of the Rong family's grandchildren and grandchildren appeared, but even if they were in charge, the appearance of the Rong family still received a warm reception, if anyone can cooperate with the Rong family, it is equivalent to having a group of undefeated troops, however, the people of the Rong family are very low-key, they don't talk much, they walk silently to their own actions and then sit down quietly.

"His Royal Highness the Seventh of the Cloud Kingdom has arrived!" With a shout from the outside of the door, everyone who was seated immediately stood up from their seats in disbelief, what? They heard it right, right? His Royal Highness the Seventh of the Cloud Kingdom, isn't this Qi Donglai, who has been in the limelight recently? Hanguguan a battle he with 10,000 soldiers defeated Ximen Yifeng's 100,000 elite soldiers, a battle made him famous all over the world, the original unpopular he also became a hot figure around the Yun Emperor in a blink of an eye, Yun Guo has recently moved quite a lot, on the one hand stricter than the Yun State criminal law system, on the other hand, it is to vigorously promote the development of agriculture, after some reforms, this is a tree that is about to wither but has given birth to new branches, a few years ago, Yun Guo unified, in a sense, Yun Guo is a royal family, and the other Tianlong Kingdom and Northern Qi State, are later evolved from the county kingdom, if Yun Guo developed to the past as brilliant, then, Yun Guo unified the world, it is also a matter of course。

After the decline of the Yun Kingdom, many of the original subjects have been scattered to other vassal states, after generations of reproduction, each generation left to the next generation of training is to always not forget that their ancestors are from the Yun Kingdom, Qi Donglai is still as in the past, gentle and elegant nodded at everyone, when his eyes swept over Ximen Yichen, who had been standing beside Qin An with his head bowed, his eyes hesitated slightly for two seconds before moving away, "It's just a quarrying, I didn't expect that the Yun Kingdom actually sent the Seven Princes, it seems that this year's quarrying will have a good show!"

The speaker's eyes glanced at Qin An intentionally or unintentionally, in previous years, Qin An was always the most beautiful person at this quarry, because he had the powerful Tianlong Kingdom as the backing, and his financial resources were far better than those of Yun Country and Northern Qi Kingdom, but this year, it seems that the situation is different, Yun Guo's is actually better, and it is uncertain who will be the Shi Kui this year.

As soon as the sky was dark, the red candles outside the Red Sleeve Workshop were bright, and the music was played, and it was peaceful, at this moment, a man led a thousand soldiers to run over, and spread out the open area along the brothel, only to open a passage full of guns and halberds in the Red Sleeve Workshop, this sudden move made the originally jubilant quarrying meeting suddenly terrifying, and many of the guests waiting in the courtyard did not look at each other, among them, there was a prince, a hegemon, and it was verified that there would be such a tense scene in the past, Qi Donglai forgot to glance at the place where Yichen was standing at the West Gate, at this time, outside the cold outside, suddenly came a bright loud voice, "The eldest princess is married!"

The musicians played the welcome music with the sound, the eldest princess, the eldest princess of the Southern Kite Kingdom, the most respected eldest sister of the Southern Kite Emperor, everyone swept away the previous displeasure, all stretched their necks to look out of the courtyard, on the red carpet, a luxurious woman with a purple veil and a purple dress is slowly walking, graceful figure, elegant steps, although the veil covers her appearance, but everyone has quietly outlined the appearance of this woman in their hearts, the woman slowly walked to the main position, the quarrying conference of the Southern Kite Country in previous years has not been so lively, the eldest princess just returned to the capital and passed here, and temporarily rose up to come to see the largest industry in the South Kite Country。

Her appearance made the hearts of many unmarried men who had reached the age of marriage ripple in the hearts of many unmarried men present, if anyone married the eldest princess, wouldn't it be equivalent to marrying a treasure, so those princes, royal relatives and nobles, and some ministers stepped forward to introduce themselves to the eldest princess, the eldest princess was able to maintain patience at first, but then this invitation seemed to be a little endless, and she coughed unhappily The grandmother next to her immediately said: "Go back to your seat!"

The cold face of the grandmother, with the two rows of soldiers standing tall and tall beside her, the murderous aura of the armor made people shudder, in front of the two rows of soldiers, there was also a majestic general, this Xiao killing atmosphere and the Yale played outside just in contrast, seeing that everyone had resettled, under the gesture of the grandmother, the official in charge of presiding over the Southern Kite Kingdom shouted loudly: "Quarrying conference, start now!"

This black stone, also divided into upper, middle and lower three, only the best black stone, in order to create a sharp weapon of sharpening iron like mud, but not everyone has the financial resources to get involved in the high-grade black stone, compared to Ximen Yichen, Qi Donglai, and the Rong family, the Xue family such a family, there are many others can only choose the third and second class black stone, the more sophisticated the raw materials, the better, if there is no well-crafted weapon builder that is not good, after some competition, in the first half of the year, all the third-class black stone 100 quintals in Wucheng were thought to be surnamed Wang Weapon forgers to win a thousand gold, and the second-class black stone 300 quintals were obtained by Qi Donglai with 10,000 gold, Qi Donglai came up with an extraordinary shotIn the end, the number of first-class black stones came out, one thousand quintals, when the ceremonial official reported the number, many people present gasped, one thousand quintals of high-grade black stones, can build a high-grade Qingfeng sword 30,000, can make a shield 10,000, but make a spear head 50,000......

Many of the people present are experts, and when they heard the calculation, they put aside a small abacus in their hearts, a thousand quintals, there has never been such a huge number of high-grade black stones in the history of the Southern Kite Kingdom, and the number of black stones has become less and less with the excessive development of the Southern Kite Kingdom in recent years.

Qi Donglai's face was not as quiet as just now, and a touch of solemnity gradually flew up his brows, he didn't expect that the number of high-grade black stones this time was so large, and the purchase of second-class black stones just now had already used up 10,000 taels, looking back, Qin An on the side of the Tianlong Kingdom had never called the price once, could it be that he already knew in advance that the number of high-grade black stones this year was far more than in previous years, so he would use all his financial resources to compete for first-class black stones? Thinking of this, the cold light that suddenly rose in Qi Donglai's eyes swept over the official stationed in Wucheng who was standing beside him, and the person's body immediately trembled, this matter really didn't hear any wind at all.

"Unexpectedly, the output of Wushi this year is so high?" The voice of the eldest princess, who has never spoken since entering the venue, overflowed through the purple veil, which made people feel numb all over their bodies, just listening to this voice made people think, "This year, why don't we change the way we play?"
