The inky night sky shrouded the world, and tonight's moon only showed its buds, and most of the moonlight was obscured by clouds, but even so, the gentle moonlight still moistened the earth.

The night guard of the Stormy City marched in neat armor and silver spears in order, leaving no corner or sin behind.

The guards passed by the homes of the people, and the sound of armor clashing was reassuring.

There is a locust tree in the courtyard of the Hu family's mansion, and at this moment, an owl on the locust tree is staring at the surroundings.

It loves the locust tree as a nocturnal bird of prey that flies up its branches at night in search of all its nocturnal prey.

However, today's luck does not seem to be good, and after staying on the branch for a long time and not finding what it wants, not even a single mouse, it turned its head ninety degrees, which is very simple for it.

It was the reception hall, and the lights were still bright, as if to welcome an important guest.

The head of the Hu family sat upright, holding his forehead with one hand, closing his eyes and remaining silent.

This is a young man with a face like a crown of jade, his delicate eyebrows are like a stroke of genius on his brows, and even though his eyes are now closed, he still makes people feel a starlight.

A few wrinkles on the ruddy skin make people sigh, even such a beautiful man is a blade that can't stand the edge of time, which is a pity.

If you go back a few decades, you must also be a jade-faced boy, and your every move can stun a large number of women.

Rows of candles illuminate the space, and the warm glow of the fire fills the quiet environment, making people a little drowsy after sitting here for a long time.

"Squeak. ”

The slightly closed door was pushed open, and a short-haired girl walked in and bowed slightly to Hu Yunxiao: "Father, he's here." ”

A figure followed the girl in, looked around the lobby environment, and then smiled at her: "It is worthy of the Hu Family Chamber of Commerce, Hu Qinling, your lobby is so luxuriously decorated!"

"Wanglong, this is my father, pay attention. Hu Qinling glared at him angrily.

"If you can receive enough guests, even if it is a luxurious room, it will be overshadowed!" Hu Yunxiao, who was sitting in the first place, opened his eyes and looked at Dongfang Wanglong with interest.

Putting away the smile on his face, Wanglong saluted Hu Yunxiao with a solemn face: "Looking at the dragon in the lower east, I came to talk about it at the invitation of the head of the Hu family." ”

"Hmm. ”

Hu Yunxiao nodded, and said to Wanglong: "Just sit down, you're welcome." ”

Wanglong was not ambiguous, strode over to a guest chair, and sat down generously.

On the other hand, Hu Qinling didn't move at all, she bowed her hand to Hu Yunxiao: "Father, I'll step back first." ”

"Hey, no, Dongfang Wanglong is your classmate, today is to chat, you can also sit down." Hu Yunxiao said.

"Yes, you brought me here, how can you just leave. Wanglong also said cheekily.

Rolling his eyes, Hu Qinling reluctantly sat down on the chair beside Wanglong.

"Oriental Wanglong...... Is it?" Hu Yunxiao looked at Wanglong.

"Yes, you're an elder, so it's okay if you don't have a surname!" Wanglong replied.

"Well, that's right, my family Ling'er brought back the bracers, and after I carefully appraised them, I found that there was actually the quality of a treasure. Hu Yunxiao looked at him and said, "So before I buy this treasure, I want to meet the person who forged it." ”

"Don't be suspicious of the Hu family master, that pair of bracers was forged by me. Wanglong saw his distrust and made it clear directly.

"Wanglong. Hu Qinling called him softly.

"Little brother, don't be excited, I have heard of your strength, it is incredible that you entered the school with the strength of the bronze third stage at the age of fourteen. Hu Yunxiao said.

"I'm sure you're a man of miracles, but this forging ...... It takes a lot of work. ”

"Frankly speaking, I don't believe that you can juggle cultivation and still have the skill of forging treasures. ”

Hu Yunxiao had a faint smile on his face: "At least I don't believe it until I see the evidence." ”

"I don't care if you believe it or not, if you want to buy these bracers, I'll sell them, and if you don't, I won't bother with you. Wanglong's face was calm, and he leaned out slightly and said to Hu Yunxiao.

Hu Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said with a smile: "I didn't say I wouldn't buy it, so let's do it, since it's a treasure, I'll give you the price of two thousand gold coins per piece, what do you think?"

Dongfang Wanglong sat up slightly: "I have no reason to believe you if I haven't seen the money." ”

Hu Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "Indeed, it's true that I'm a little abrupt, someone is here." ”

As his words fell, a family member walked towards Wanglong with a plate in his hand.

"This is the gold coin savings card of the Huaxia Empire, and there are two thousand gold coins in it that have been typed. Hu Yunxiao's words had already been delivered to Wanglong.

"Gold coin savings card, why not cash?" Wanglong wondered.

"Little brother Wanglong, you are joking, if it is cash, how heavy it is for two thousand gold coins, and it is not convenient to carry it on your body, and the gold coin savings card issued by the Huaxia Empire is good, it is easy to carry, and when you want to use the money, you can go directly to the local city lord's mansion to get it. ”

Hu Yunxiao explained with a kind smile.

Wanglong nodded, indeed, when Mu Jinglei came to Xishan with 10,000 gold coins and medicinal herbs and ores, it took three or four people to move the box, and this gold coin savings card was much more convenient.

"Okay, then I'll take it. Wanglong said and took the card.

The color of the card is brilliant and golden, the front is a big "Huaxia savings" four words, and the reverse side is full of the role of the card, instructions for use, etc.

"Today's transaction is very pleasant, if you still have equipment in the future, even if you bring it to my Hu Family Chamber of Commerce, I will give you an absolutely fair price." Hu Yunxiao looked at Wanglong with a smile.

"If there is a chance, I will not stay longer and take my leave. Wanglong stood up as he spoke, and after bowing slightly, he turned around and left directly.

"Hey, Wanglong!" Hu Qinling wanted to say something when he saw Wanglong leave suddenly, but he disappeared.

"Father. Hu Qinling looked at Hu Yunxiao a little helplessly, "I said a long time ago that this guy is sometimes not serious, but he is a very arrogant person in his bones!"

Hu Yunxiao didn't speak, but just said as if talking to himself: "See what?"

Behind a pillar in the lobby, a young man walked out.

"Second brother?" Hu Qinling was taken aback when he saw someone coming. This person is Hu Qinling's second brother, Hu Xiong.

Hu Xiong smiled dotingly at Hu Qinling, and then shook his head at Hu Yunxiao: "I'm sorry, father, I didn't see anything, he didn't seem to be lying, if you want me to say, this person is quite conceited." ”

Hu Yunxiao's left hand rubbed on his chin, and said thoughtfully: "Dongfang Wanglong, not to mention having bronze strength at a young age, and having such skilled forging skills...... It's terrible. ”

Hu Qinling sat back in his chair helplessly: "But such a person is now offended by you." ”

Hu Yunxiao shook his head indifferently when he heard this: "No, it's not that simple, he's a smart person." ”

......

At the same time, the mood of the City Lord's Mansion was the most volatile since he became the City Lord.

In the reception hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Mu Yaoyun was prostrate in the lower position again like last time, and the flesh and blood on the buttocks of the lower half of his body were blurred at the moment, lying on the ground motionless.

"Mu Yaoyun, do you recognize those things?" Mu Jinglei held the half-broken wooden stick in his hand, and stared at Mu Yaoyong fiercely.

At this moment, in his eyes, Mu Yaoyu was no longer his son, just a sinner!

"Take advantage of my busy official business to release Wang Mo from prison privately!"

"Collude with bandits outside the city to do things that harm the people!"

"Also, the lustful and gallant Bao Tian did misdeeds against the Qiu family in the imperial capital, Qiu Shuiling!" Mu Jinglei said the last sentence, and threw the wooden stick in his hand fiercely, and smashed it on Mu Yao's buttocks.

This made Mu Yao, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, howl miserably, and almost fainted in pain.

"Father, I didn't ......" Even if he was beaten like this, he still didn't let go, because he knew that once he admitted it, the end would be extremely miserable!

Mu Jinglei was already mad with anger at the moment, walked back and forth a few steps, panting like a cow, he took a cup of tea from Mu Feng's hand and took a big sip, only then did he recover a little.

"I still don't admit it! The first and third pieces have been conclusively proven! When I catch the robbers outside the city, I'll clean you up again!" Mu Jinglei waved his hand, and suddenly two family members came up.

"Lock Mu Yaoyu in the dungeon of Wind and Rain City!"

"Yes!"

In the process of being dragged out, Mu Yao's afterglow caught a glimpse of a few people hiding in the shadows, it was Mu Jinglei's other wives and concubines, their eyes were cold at this moment, and he read a few words from his buzzing lips.

"Little bastard, damn it!"

The humiliation of the past was projected in his mind like a movie, Mu Yaoyun was powerless to react, and his heart gradually sank, but a crazy thought appeared in his mind and lingered.

"Kill you all. ”
