"Huh?!"

When Chen Changxiao heard this name, his heart trembled, and he was a little flustered in his heart, not because he was afraid of what Liu Xiao would do to him, but because he was afraid that he would know his secret!

Liu Xiao was still staring at him, his eyelids didn't blink, and he said, "Have you seen him? He taught you the exercises? How can you have such a strong yin and yang spiritual power aura on your body? Your left hand?"

Asked this, he grabbed Chen Changxiao's left palm, spread it out and looked carefully, but there was nothing, no wonder, the ghost talisman would only appear when summoned by Chen Changxiao.

Chen Changxiao calmed down, since he knew about it, he simply thought about it for a while, and then said: "I have seen him, he has not inherited my exercises, as the master of the Nine Shades of the Underworld, how can he pass on my exercises? ”

"He almost killed me when I met him a year ago, and I suffered severe internal injuries, all of which left his breath, and then I was saved by my master and survived. ”

"Really?" Liu Xiao pressed on him, and Chen Changxiao was about to fall directly to the ground.

"Seriously!" Chen Changxiao nodded.

Seeing the situation, Liu Jiang smiled: "Master, don't ask Brother Chen anymore, how can we know all the complexity of this world?"

When Liu Xiao heard this, he immediately got up and sat on the chair, and Chen Changxiao sat up straight.

The two didn't ask the right question, and Liu Jiang then smiled and said, "Brother Chen, I invited you here today, in addition to making friends with you, there is one more thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Chen Changxiao pricked up his ears, and knew that it was not that simple.

"I want to invite you to join my Willow Leaf Hall and join the Liu family, what does Brother Chen think?"

Liu Jiang put away his smile, the look in his eyes was extremely serious, Chen Changxiao was stunned in his heart, and frowned slightly.

The thoughts in his mind immediately flowed quickly, and when he came, he guessed that the people here might be trying to take him in, but now it seems that he was guessed correctly.

"Why?" Chen Changxiao asked, for such a sudden invitation, although the Liu family of the top ten families was opposite, it still had to be brewed, and he was not interested in joining any huge family, it was enough to rely on himself.

Liu Jiang regained his smile, closed the folding fan and said, "I'll tell Brother Chen about the origin of my Willow Leaf Hall." “

"Regardless of which dynasty, the eastern region has become the economic center of the dynasty with its unique geographical location, commodity production, goods transportation, trading, circulation, this half of the wall by the sea and flat terrain have provided it with transportation conditions in all directions. ”

"Therefore, whether it is the forces in the eastern region or the families in other regions, they are full of salivation for this place, money, but it is a good thing that is too little and not too much. ”

"If it weren't for the strict control of the imperial court, this place would have become a place of contention for power. ”

Chen Changxiao listened, he naturally knew this, oh, and listened to him continue:

"Fifty years ago, for some reason, hundreds of auction halls appeared here one after another, and they collected treasures from all over the mainland for auction, which became an unprecedented auction event. This was a good thing, but the more time passed, the more treasures in the auction hall became, which attracted the red eyes of some powerful forces. ”

"Forty years ago, thieves arose everywhere in the eastward land, and forces large and small in various places secretly cultivated assassin killers to rob hundreds of auction halls

and assassinated the rich who bought the treasures and took their things. For a time, the world was chaotic, and the people were not able to make a living. ”

"After the imperial court learned about the situation, it urgently sent the royal general to lead the army to suppress it, and that general was my Liu family. ”

"After the crackdown is over, I think that the hundred auction halls are still standing, and it won't be long before they will reopen the auctions, and those suppressed forces will make a comeback. ”

General Liu thought that it was not a way to go on like this, and if the cycle went on and on, how could the world be calm. And if you want to prevent the recurrence of this phenomenon, there is only one way, which is to reduce the number of auction halls and reduce the concentration of natural materials and treasures. ”

So, General Liu privately found a puppet to set up an auction hall here, and the control behind it was all in the hands of the Liu family. ”

"After only three years of development, my Liu family has made this auction hall the largest with a strong foundation, and from it, we have merged half of the auction halls, not to turn their place into ours, but to include their resources in my Liu Ye Hall!"

Saying this, Chen Changxiao frowned slightly, and Liu Jiang smiled brightly when he saw it.

"Brother Chen, don't get me wrong, we didn't use force to force income, but some of us took a huge amount of wealth in exchange, and some of them were sold to us on our own initiative after they couldn't survive, so in the end, we bought them by legitimate means. “

Listening to his explanation, Chen Changxiao smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart: With the power of your Liu family, just give a little intimidation, and then block the source of their goods, naturally it will not be able to develop.

However, Chen Changxiao didn't think that what they did was anything, people also relied on their strength, and if they wanted those auction halls to have strength, they could also do so, which was convincing.

"And after seven years, that is, thirty years ago, all the auction halls in the eastern region were finally left with my Liuyetang family, however, even if this thing was hidden from the imperial court, it could not be hidden from the world. ”

"That year, the remaining nine of the ten families of my Liu family, who were also among the ten families, became jealous of us, and came here to operate their businesses in spite of the law, but this undoubtedly alarmed the local government and the court of the Celestial Empire, and soon the royal family came to recall them in person. ”

"However, our Willow Leaf Hall is already the last auction hall here, besides, although we violated the law and intervened here, but on the one hand, General Liu also considered the peace here, and established this Willow Leaf Hall, and in the end, only one of us was left, and the chaos caused by the hundred auction halls here was eradicated, and at the same time, with the background of my Liu family, almost all the auction house resources were concentrated, and those red-eyed forces or thieves did not dare to be presumptuous. ”

"And that's it, although we violated the order, but in exchange for the peace of the court here, in order to continue, the royal family made an exception and agreed that we should stay here. ”

Chen Changxiao listened to it in a fog, and after talking for half a day, it seemed to express the strength of the Liu family, which made him a little helpless for a while.

In the middle of the ring, Liu Jiang drank a cup of tea, opened the folding fan, stood up, and walked towards the fence of the house without walls.

"But in order to appease the dissatisfaction of the other nine families, the imperial court also restricted many conditions for us, and the genius earth treasure that Liu Yetang himself obtained from the outside must be under the strict monitoring of the government, and there is a limit on the quantity, so the Chu family has always been not polite to us at all. ”

Chen Changxiao smiled faintly, remembering the attitude of the Chu housekeeper when he came over.

"I heard that you and the second young master of the Chu family are

Friends?"

Liu Jiang raised his head, looked at the sky, and did not turn his head.

Chen Changxiao blinked his eyes and said without concealment: "Chu and I are sworn brothers. ”

"Oh. ”

Liu Jiang shook the folding fan lightly, Chen Changxiao couldn't see his expression, he was just seeking truth from facts, and it wasn't an unspeakable secret, if he could let himself go back because of this, it would be great.

Liu Jiang was silent for a moment and said, "Presumably, my subordinates were scolded by the Chu family when they went to invite you." ”

"Not really. Chen Changxiao replied, if it weren't for those few people coming in a big way, Steward Chu would not have made a face to them.

"That's good, we have been here for decades, and there are many people under us who have done a lot of uncomfortable things in the name of the Liu family, so the Chu family has always been a little prejudiced against us, although I severely lecture those who do not follow the rules, but ......"

"But what?"

Chen Changxiao asked, and Liu Jiang replied, "Back to what we said before." “

"The restriction given to us by the imperial court is that there cannot be more than three members of the Liu family who come to manage the Liuye Hall. “

With that, Liu Jiang turned his head.

"Except for the three of us who are from the Liu family, the rest are just outsiders, so those who don't follow the rules are also very helpless. ”

"Finished?"

Seeing that he was no longer talking, Chen Changxiao asked suspiciously.

At this time, Liu Yiyi's faint laughter remembered that in the room, she stood up, her charming body wearing only thin clothes.

She slowly walked in front of Chen Changxiao, bent down and stretched out her hand to hand out an empty immortal ring, Chen Changxiao looked up, and at a glance, it swept directly into the twin peaks that hooked her lower body.

He grabbed the ring, deliberately turned his eyes, and said in his heart, how does this woman look so similar to Qianmei Niang.

When Liu Yiyi's laughter started again, Chen Changxiao suddenly found something, and just stared at her with a blink of an eye, the latter straightened up and smiled, and said, "Chen Gongzi, you accepted my gift, hehe!"

Chen Changxiao twitched his eyelids, holding the empty immortal ring, and wanted to return it, but he heard her say again: "Chen Gongzi, since you have accepted it, how can there be any reason to return it, there are some rare pills in it, and now I will make a meeting gift, Chen Gongzi can just accept it." ”

Chen Changxiao narrowed his eyes, then let go, and said with a smile: "Sister Yiyi really made a good move, but I was still caught in by you." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yiyi smiled lightly, and Chen Changxiao finally understood that it was not her habit to dress so sexy, but to prepare for Chen Changxiao.

Beauty Trick!

It's a pity that he didn't think of this at all in advance, so he was negligent just now.

Now that he has received the greeting gift, he will be more passive in the subsequent conversation, and he will suddenly become hostile to this Liu Jiang.

Liu Jiang saw that his expression was wrong, laughed twice, broke the tense atmosphere in the room, gave Liu Yiyi a look, and said, "Yiyi, Hugh is messing around, go and sit on the side." ”

After that, he returned to Chen Changxiao, no longer explaining anything, with a serious look on his face, and said eloquently: "Brother Chen, I won't say anything anymore, I just need someone in Liuyetang, a person like you, as long as you are willing to join us and help us do something, all your requirements, as long as I Liujiang can do it, I can meet you!"
