Chapter 43 Those who are destined to get it
Qingyang City is located in Dongshan County of the Great Qian Dynasty, the city construction is magnificent, covers a vast area, among the 32 cities belonging to Dongshan County, it is second only to the capital of Dongshan County in terms of scale.
There are millions of permanent residents in the city, and thousands of large and small villages centered on Qingyang City radiating in all directions outside the city add up to about 700,000 people.
More than 1.7 million people are densely distributed in this not very fertile land, which also makes this otherwise desolate place seem to be full of life at all times.
However, because Qingyang City is the most remote city in Dongshan County, although the scale is enough to rank second among all the cities in Dongshan County, the actual level of force possessed by the city ranks last among all the thirty-two cities in Dongshan County.
In addition, Dongshan County is the only county government that does not border any other southern region country among the eight county governments under the Daqian Dynasty, so the overall military level of Dongshan County is indisputably the first to last among the eight county governments.
So much so that when it comes to Qingyang City itself, it can basically be regarded as the city with the lowest level of force within the territory of the Daqian Dynasty.
This can be seen from the fact that in the entire Qingyang City, only the city lord Yang Wanli is a strong man at the level of the Martial Sect.
The Xia family mansion is located in Dongcheng District, echoing the Liu family in Xicheng District, and jointly guarding the city lord's mansion, which covers the most extensive area in the center of the city.
Taken together, the three parties constitute the privileged class that occupies the top position in the entire Qingyang City
It's just that relatively speaking, the status of the City Lord's Mansion is more transcendent, after all, it represents the official power of the Daqian Dynasty, and is the actual controller and distributor of interests in Qingyang City.
As for the Xia Liu family, more often, they are in a relationship of opposing competition.
This is more conducive to the City Lord's Mansion's control of the entire Qingyang City, and it is also more conducive to the stability of the overall situation in Qingyang City.
Therefore, for hundreds of years, Qingyang City, which lives in a remote corner, seems to be isolated from the world, and has always lived a quiet life of its own.
It is indeed a great happiness to have such a transcendent tranquility in the territory of the Daqian Dynasty, which can be called the land of a hundred battles.
Xia Fan walked through the most prosperous north-south main road in Qingyang City, slowly swaying through the streets, while squinting his eyes back and forth at the familiar and unfamiliar scenes on both sides of the road.
The two blood servants followed him inseparably, looking indifferent and vigilant around them, and they would react as soon as there was any emergency.
From south to north, this street crosses the entire Qingyang City from the central point, dividing the Qingyang City into two completely symmetrical half-cities, one east and one west, and intersects with the main road in the east and west at the city lord's mansion in the center of the city, forming a standard 'ten' shape.
If you look down from the air, you will find that the square structure of the entire Qingyang City is very symmetrical and beautiful, like a giant beast coiled on this plain, and under the tall and majestic city walls on all sides, a total of twenty huge city gates of exactly the same size are constantly swallowing a large number of people.
From the beginning of the opening of the city gates in the early morning to the moment of curfew in the city at night.
Humans may never have conquered the world they live in, but they have always been able to conquer themselves easily.
Xia Fan kept looking at the distinctive storefronts on both sides of the street along the way, and all kinds of memories were surging out of his mind like a tide.
Memories are like a pile of treasures locked in a drawer, and many times we can't remember something, not because we have forgotten it, but because we haven't found the key to open it.
At this time, Xia Fan saw more and more pictures with his eyes, and found more and more keys......
After wandering for most of the hour, Xia Fan stopped in front of a rather dilapidated looking storefront.
Although the door of this store is wide open, the business is still cold, and the little guy standing at the door is listlessly leaning against the door and dozing, as if he has long been accustomed to the dejected appearance of his storefront.
On both sides of the door, there is a couplet.
The upper couplet reads: Don't be shocked by the humiliation, let the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court.
The next link is: Go and stay unintentionally, and watch the clouds in the sky.
The horizontal batch directly made the plaque of the store, and the name said: Those who are destined will get it.
Staring at the couplet on the storefront, an indescribable smile appeared on the corner of Xia Fan's mouth, and then he stepped in.
It wasn't until Xia Fan and the two blood servants entered the door that the little guy who was dozing by the door woke up, and after being stunned, he hurriedly greeted Xia Fan with a smile on his face.
"Isn't this Second Master Xia? But I haven't seen you for some days, and now I have time to come to Taobao Bei? It's a coincidence that you're here, and the second floor has just had a batch of new goods in the past few days, so you may not be sure that there are any treasures that haven't been discovered. ”
The little guy walked quickly to about half a body behind Xia Fan, and said with a respectful face.
Xia Fan ignored him, walked straight to the staircase with ease, and walked down the stairs towards the second floor.
Although the little guy was ignored by Xia Fan, he didn't have any embarrassment, just respectfully watched Xia Fan and the two blood servants go upstairs, and then stood back on the edge of the store and continued to doze off.
This store is very famous in the top circle of Qingyang City, and the reason why it seems cold is because the store itself does not do ordinary people's business, even ordinary martial artists, few people will set foot here.
As for the reason for this phenomenon, it is naturally due to the fact that the prices of the various goods sold in the store are too high, and they have not reached the level of martial artists or above, and they can hardly afford that kind of price.
Another important reason is that if the goods bought back can be worthy of the price, then it is fine, but 99% of the goods sold in this store are definitely worthy of the price.
That's right, it's a shop that specializes in selling rags......
Although all the rags are the best of the rags, they are still rags after all.
The only difference is that among the many rags, it is likely that there will really be one or two top-level treasures, although this probability is very small, if you want to get it, it will not only test the buyer's eyesight, but also often test the buyer's luck.
Anyway, in Xia Fan's memory, although he had a soft spot for this store when he was young, he had never really found a so-called treasure in this store.
In fact, almost all the people who shop for things in this store have the same experience as Xia Fan.
But even so, it still can't stop those people's enthusiasm for this store.
Because there were really people in this store who found incredible things from those rags.
A badly damaged bronze-grade refining treasure!
That's something that goes completely beyond the worldly values of money!
And that thing was finally bought by the City Lord's Mansion at a jaw-dropping price from the person who found the treasure.
The transaction price is so high that the wealth owned by the Xia family and the Liu family cannot afford it at all.
But no one thinks there is anything wrong with this price.
Even if it is badly damaged...... After all, it was also a bronze-level alchemy!
Xia Fan thought as his feet stepped on the second floor.
In the entire large space on the second floor, there were only three people gathered together at this time, standing in a corner.
Xia Fan knew all three of them, a young man and a woman and a middle-aged man.
One of them, a middle-aged man with a big belly with a smile on his face, is the owner of this store.
The boss was very enthusiastic about introducing the young man and woman, gesturing with both hands to what the young woman was holding at the same time, looking quite excited.
Xia Fan looked curiously at the thing in the woman's hand, and then her pupils suddenly contracted violently!
Even his breathing became a little shorter uncontrollably
