Seeing Chu Haoyu looking over, a wry smile appeared on the round face of the shopkeeper Dong, and instead of answering, he opened his mouth and asked: "Sun Gongzi, you are also an expert, how much do you say these three pieces of jade are worth?" ”

Although Chu Haoyu understands jade, he is not proficient in it, and as a prince, how can he ever buy something, how can he know the price? Although he didn't know the price, Chu Haoyu probably guessed the meaning of the shopkeeper Dong, and asked lightly: "What does the shopkeeper Dong mean?" ”

In Chu Haoyu's elongated voice, the wry smile on the face of the shopkeeper Dong was even worse, and he said, "It's all the goods that love jade." The old man really likes these things, and he can't help it when he sees this kind of color, and he specially asks a famous artist to make it carefully, but these treasures can't be sold at a high price in Qufu, if he doesn't meet the son, the old man is going to go to the capital. ”

Nodding, Chu Haoyu didn't say anything more but opened his mouth to ask: "How much is there in the shopkeeper Dong, can you wait for the little nephew to see it?" ”

After hesitating for a moment, Shopkeeper Dong finally nodded his head and said, "Okay, Sun Gongzi, please come with me." ”

Hearing Shopkeeper Dong's hearty consent, Chu Haoyu's eyes showed a hint of discoloration, but no one noticed. Standing up, Chu Haoyu waved his hand and said, "Please!" ”

Walking towards the backyard with Chu Haoyu, the shopkeeper Dong said at the same time: "The son is also in the jade business, and the rules don't need to be explained by the old man, but I, a small family, am afraid that I am far from being able to compare with your pavilion." ”

The backyard of Shuyuzhai is really not small, among which the small bridge and flowing water pavilions are extremely quiet. The further they went, the fewer people there were, but the defense gradually tightened, and Chu Haoyu could feel that the masters hidden in the shadows were staring at them upright.

Smiling at himself, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said: "Shopkeeper Dong is too polite, this house alone is not comparable to my Yayuxuan." ”

Hehe laughed, and the shopkeeper Dong opened his mouth and said: "This Qufu, how can it be compared with the capital of every inch of land." However, my ancestral house is almost a hundred years old, and it is still the light of the sage who has been preserved, and I have long been used to living in it, no matter how good the capital is, the old man is not used to it. ”

Nodding, Chu Haoyu suddenly asked, "The shopkeeper wasn't in the jade business before, right?" ”

Looking at Chu Haoyu in surprise for a moment, the shopkeeper Dong laughed and said: "It is worthy of being the young shopkeeper of Yayuxuan, this eye strength, admiration, admiration!" Holding his fists and bowing to Chu Haoyu, the shopkeeper Dong continued: "My father's generation did water trading, and I made some hard-earned money from the south to the north, and it was passed on to the old man's generation, the old man couldn't stand the hard work, and the world has changed, so the old man thought about doing some idle business, and it happened that the old man loved this way, so he opened this Shuyu Zhai." ”

While the two were talking, they had already walked through the backyard to a remote courtyard. At this moment, the smile on the face of the shopkeeper Dong was gone, and he called out respectfully: "Hai Lao." ”

Hearing the word Hai Lao, Chu Haoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, because he had already guessed the identity of this Hai Lao, it should be Huo Hai in Zhao Jiu's mouth, but he didn't see the slightest change in Zhao Jiu's expression, Chu Haoyu said in his heart that he still hadn't had enough experience, and he couldn't be happy and angry.

called Hai Lao, Dong Shopkeeper seemed to know that he would not answer, so he pushed the door directly and walked in, at this moment, Chu Haoyu finally saw Hai Lao's face.

The old man's gray-white hair is sparse and sparse, his wrinkled face looks like withered bark, his eyes are deep and hollow, and he doesn't look alive at all, and he wears a white robe wide and wide on his body, and he seems to have fallen asleep on the chaise longue, but this old man who is about to die makes the fat shopkeeper bow respectfully, and shouts again: "Hai Lao, San'er brings guests to see the goods." ”

When the words of the shopkeeper Dong fell, the old man finally opened his eyes, and his dim eyes did not have a trace of brilliance, and under the gaze of the three people, the old man stood up tremblingly, took out a bunch of keys and opened the door.

When the shopkeeper lit the oil lamp to illuminate the whole room, Chu Haoyu was taken aback again. In the room four or five zhang long, there are dozens of bookshelves, each shelf is full of jade, the small one is only the size of a finger, and the big one is a hundred catties, and it is an uncarved jade at a glance. It is indeed surprising that there are so many jade stones in each small jade house.

Seeing Chu Haoyu's expression, Shopkeeper Dong laughed proudly and said, "Sun Gongzi, how is it?" ”

Sweeping the entire room again, Chu Haoyu said with admiration: "In just one or two decades, Shopkeeper Dong can collect so many jades, the little nephew admires and admires!" After a pause at this, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "Shopkeeper Dong, can the little nephew take a look?" ”

Shopkeeper Dong immediately replied with a smile: "Casual, casual." ”

Seeing Chu Haoyu pick up a piece of jade, the shopkeeper Dong immediately introduced: "This is the ink jade from the Yulong River, look at this color, the old man also spent a lot of effort to get it." And this piece of green jade, oh, Sun Gongzi, take a look? ”

Taking the jade handed over by the shopkeeper Dong, Chu Haoyu played with it carefully, but he also noticed the code call from Zhao Jiu. Zhao Jiu and the old man stood at the door one left and one right, thinking that he had already moved his hands and feet, seeing this, and quietly, Chu Haoyu had already held the pill in the palm of his hand.

I don't know if it's sleepy or whatever, the shopkeeper Dong, who has been introduced to Chu Haoyu for a long time, suddenly yawned greatly, seeing this, Zhao Jiu suddenly shouted: "Do it." In the midst of the loud shouts, an extra dagger appeared between the palms raised by Zhao Jiu, stabbing at the old man's chest like lightning.

At the moment when Zhao Jiu made his move, Chu Haoyu waved his palm and slapped it at the shopkeeper Dong, but when he raised his palm, he found that the true qi was intermittent and unsustainable, and the palm of his hand actually fell lightly on the shoulder of the shopkeeper Dong.

At this moment, Chu Haoyu didn't know that he was also deceived by Zhao Jiu, but what surprised him even more was that the shopkeeper Dong was not surprised but smiled at him, the kind smile seemed so weird, and what surprised Chu Haoyu even more was that Zhao Jiu's dagger really pierced the old man's chest.

As soon as he succeeded, Zhao Jiu immediately stepped back, but it was still a little late, and the skeleton old man waved his hand and slapped Zhao Jiu's chest. Suddenly, Zhao Jiu had spit out a mouthful of blood, and staggered away.

The red blood flowed down the dagger, but the old man had no intention of stopping the bleeding, but stared straight at Zhao Jiu and the shopkeeper Dong, and said coldly: "You actually betrayed the Dragon King? ”

Looking at the old man, the shopkeeper Dong smiled unchanged and said: "Hai Lao, General Hai, the little ones have been filial piety for the Dragon King for 30 years, and they have been guarding for most of their lives, and they are considered to be loyal, and they should also consider for themselves." What's more, we also sent a great sacrifice to the Dragon Lord, Sun Shaohui, Sun Yiyang's son, if you want to come to the Dragon Lord to have a spirit in the sky, he will forgive us. ”

Suddenly, Hai Lao set his eyes on Chu Haoyu, and there was a light in his eyes, at this moment, Zhao Jiu said: "Hai Lao, this is Sun Yiyang's son Sun Shaohui, as long as Hai Lao you say a word, the little ones can immediately cut off his head." As he spoke, Zhao Jiu had a dagger in his hand and placed it on Chu Haoyu's neck.

Staring at Zhao Jiu and Dong Fatzi with cold eyes, Hai Lao said without a trace of emotion: "You want the Dragon King Order?" ”

Nodding, Zhao Jiu opened his mouth and said: "Hai Lao, the little ones have lived for the Dragon Lord for most of their lives, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have been on the Sword Mountain and down the Sea of Fire, but the Dragon Lord and his old man are long gone, Hai Lao, should you also give us back our freedom?" ”

Snorted coldly, Hai Lao said with extreme disdain: "Freedom? Who has forced you all these years, it is not the treasure and the army of water ghosts left by the master. ”

Shopkeeper Dong did not deny it, and opened his mouth and said: "General Hai, gold, silver and jewelry are dead things after all, just like these jades, they are only alive when they fall into human hands." As for the army of water ghosts, our brothers are also one of them, and if they are willing to follow us, our brothers can't ask for it, and if they don't want to, they won't force it, but they will treat a group of brothers well. ”

When Dong's shopkeeper's words fell, Zhao Jiu said: "General Hai, the water ghost army was built by you, General Hai, how much hardship and sweat you have passed, you know best, do you really bear to see us work hard for most of our lives, and finally rot in the water?" ”

Hai Lao didn't answer, but opened his mouth and asked, "Dong San, Xiao Jiu, when did you start planning this matter?" ”

It was Zhao Jiu who answered him, and said: "Dissatisfied with General Hai, the little ones originally wanted to send you to the end of the general, but when the Dragon King sacrificed the day, the general you appeared in Weishan Lake and were recognized, and then batch after batch of masters entered Qufu to look for General Hai you." Although this place is hidden, our brothers have also changed their appearances and don't look like when they were young, but who can say for sure what happens in the world? Therefore, our brother finally decided to take a risk and take the Dragon King Order in his hands first. It just so happened that Jiu'er met him on the way back, so he brought him back and left him at your disposal, General Hai. ”

At this moment, Chu Haoyu, who was soft all over, couldn't help but ask, "You guessed the identity of this son as soon as you came up?" ”

Glancing at Chu Haoyu, Zhao Jiu replied lazily and looked at Huo Hai again. Although Hai Lao's martial arts are high, he is old, and he has a dagger in his chest, and after such a while, his face has become pale, and his chest is also undulating, and he wants to endure great pain, which is also the reason why Zhao Jiu and Dong Fatzi did not hide the reason for answering him, delaying time.

Nodding, Hai Lao opened his mouth and said: "You are also honest, you did not deceive the old man, but the Dragon King Order is not on the old man." ”

Suddenly, shopkeeper Dong and Zhao Jiu were stunned, and Zhao Jiu blurted out: "How is it possible?" ”

Staring at the two of them, Hai Lao said in a deep voice: "If it is really on the old man, the old man will definitely kill the two of you, and he will never let the Dragon King Order fall into the hands of disloyal and unrighteous people like you." ”

Zhao Jiu and Dong Shopkeeper couldn't know Hai Lao's temper very well, they had already believed most of them when they heard him say this, and even thought of the reason why Hai Lao didn't make a move, and glanced at each other, both of them had a bitter smile on their faces that couldn't be concealed. At this moment, Hai Lao continued: "As you said, the Dragon Lord is no longer there, and it is really unnecessary to pay for him anymore. This mansion and these jades are just the hard work of the two of you for thirty years, but now, the old man wants to ask you for something, and after the old man dies, he will bury the old man in Weishan Lake, accompanied by the dragon lord and several brothers. ”

Hearing Hai Lao say this, Shopkeeper Dong and Zhao Jiu shouted at the same time: "General Hai? Although the voices are different, they are all unbearable, after all, most of what the two of them learned was taught by Huo Hai.

Sighing lightly, Huo Hai waved his hand disappreciably and said, "It's nothing, the old man has been waiting for this day for thirty years, and it's time to go." At the end of the words, Huo Hai coughed even more, and the violent coughing sound was already mixed with blood, and the shopkeeper Dong and Zhao Jiu who were watching became more and more unbearable, but at this moment, another voice sounded, and said: "It is worthy of General Hai, thirty years ago and thirty years later, we will play like fools." ”

Hearing the sound of speaking, the faces of Shopkeeper Dong and Zhao Jiu changed greatly, because they had already heard who it was, it was Huo Hai, and the corners of their mouths trembled.
