Chapter 9 Zhuge Repeater
When the widow went out, he sighed, "I don't know if this clue is useful or not, maybe this jade pendant my sister also got it by accident, and I can't say if it's only half a piece." โ
Li Chengqian shook his head, "I'll send someone to Ningbo to check in a few days." โ
Both of them chose not to say more, after all, there are too few clues now, and they still have to investigate again to know the specific truth.
opened the window, and the auction below was still in full swing, but at this time, Chengxin and Li Chengqian were not in the mood to pay attention to the style of this auction.
Time blink of an eye to the time of the gold-level auction item, I saw that the auctioneer took out the Zhuge repeater from the box, and skillfully loaded the arrows and swished two arrows on the predetermined target.
Xiangxin was awakened by the sound of the arrow entering the wooden plank, and was no longer in a daze, and hurriedly pushed Li Chengqian beside him and whispered: "Your Highness, have you seen this Zhuge crossbow?" โ
Li Chengqian was also in a trance, "Huh? Yes! What's wrong with that? โ
Xiangxin looked at him with a confused expression, "What do you think of the power of this Zhuge Repeater?" โ
Li Chengqian looked at it carefully, "It should be average, it looks like it can be lethal within 100 meters at most, but the soldiers in the front row of the real battle are all heavily armoured, and this arrow can't be shot through at all." โ
Seeing his disdainful expression, he wanted to laugh a little, "Your Highness, you should think deeply, who made this Zhuge repeater?" Will the person doing this do something else? What is the purpose of what he is doing? โ
Li Chengqian's face was a little solemn, he thought of a lot of things, but he didn't speak, and silently kept this matter in his heart.
The auctioneer on the auction table was still gushing, "The reappearance of this Zhuge repeater today is really amazing, although the power cannot be compared with our billet longbow, but it is better to use it without much effort, it is really a weapon for self-defense." โ
Li Chengqian looked satisfied, "Do we want to take a picture?" โ
Satisfaction shook his head, "No, we'll see who wants to take the picture." โ
At the beginning, there were still a lot of people who called for the price, but only Fang Yiai and Cheng Chuliang were left who were screaming, and the two of them sprayed feces on each other while shouting the price, which made people laugh.
Li Chengqian thought while watching the two of them scolding each other, "Cheng Chuliang should buy this crossbow for his own sister, and the love of the house is also for his own sister?" I remember that this widow should not be very fond of his sister. โ
Xiangxin looked at him like an idiot, "It's obvious that Fang Yiai listened to Changsun Chong, and buying things should also be indicated by Changsun Chong." โ
Li Chengqian shook his head and looked at the smiling and silent eldest grandson Chong in the single room next door, "What's the use of this eldest grandson Chong buying this repeater?" โ
Chengxin stretched, "Your Highness, let's go to the back of the mutual market street to have a look, if there is nothing to buy after a walk, let's go back, I'm a little tired." โ
Li Chengqian nodded, this auction was also very boring, and the two of them went out from the back door of the auction.
Brother Liang and Xiao Lizi at the back door saw Li Chengqian and Chengxin coming out, and instantly came over, and Xiao Lizi couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, did you buy anything?" โ
Li Chengqian shook his head, and he shook his head and spread out his hands to show that there was nothing to gain, Li Chengqian suddenly remembered the matter of Zhuge Lian's crossbow just now, "Little Lizi, you give the money bag to Manager Liang, go back to the palace to find Li Junxian, and tell him that I have something to do with him when I come to the East Palace tonight." โ
When Xiao Li Zi heard that he was looking for Li Junxian, he knew that he couldn't know about it, so he hurriedly untied the money bag on his waist and handed it to Brother Liang.
Xiao Li Zi ran to the palace without looking back, but Li Chengqian and the three of them played in this mutual market street.
People from different countries gather on this street, and strange things emerge one after another.
Lizards, camels, butterflies and all sorts of creatures are also on this street.
Glass, fur, precious stones, each merchant has its own treasure.
The three of them walked around unhurriedly, and suddenly found some familiar things and came over, and Li Chengqian and Brother Liang also followed.
Looking at this foreign face with satisfaction, he cautiously asked, "How do you sell these!" โ
When the foreign merchant saw that a customer wanted to buy his goods, he smiled and leaked his white teeth, and then said slowly: "A tael of gold!" โ
"What? A broken potato costs a tael of gold? And what about this sweet potato? โ
The foreign merchant said word by word: "One tael of gold." โ
Satisfaction couldn't help but swear, "Damn, what a pit." โ
The foreign merchant was still smiling there, as if he had decided that his goods were worth the price.
After all, Chengxin still held back the words that continued to scold, "Brother Liang pays." โ
Li Chengqian looked at the lumpy-like potatoes and the small sweet potato, and couldn't help asking, "Do you know this thing?" One tael of gold is enough for us to eat roast chicken every day for a month. โ
Satisfactory nodded, "Buy it, rest assured, you will know how good this thing is after a while, by the way, if you are reluctant to pay, then wait until you go back, I will give you the golden horse." โ
Li Chengqian couldn't help but complain when he looked satisfied, "You know more than me as an amnesiac person, Brother Liang pays." โ
After all, he spent six taels of gold to buy three potatoes and three sweet potatoes, and no more foreign businessman was gone.
The three of them walked around again, and bought pepper seeds at the place where spices were sold, and their faces were already happy, but Brother Liang and Li Chengqian on the side were melancholy, and brought out a full ten taels of gold, all of which were satisfied with these strange things, remembering that there was a princess waiting for spices at home, Li Chengqian couldn't help but have a headache, thinking that he would send someone to come tomorrow, and it seemed that there would be a lot of spices that should be available tomorrow.
The three of them returned to the back door of the auction house, Li Chengqian got into the carriage under satisfactory service, and the three of them were about to go back, but they were suddenly shouted by one person: "Brother Gao Ming, take a step slowly." โ
Li Chengqian lifted the curtain and stopped him It turned out to be his father, Li Siwen, the second son of Li Tao, who had the same name as Li Jing, and his sister Li Yulong was standing next to him.
"It turned out to be Brother Siwen, is there something wrong with stopping me?" Li Chengqian did not get out of the car, but just opened the curtain.
Li Siwen leaned over, "This is the little sister Li Yulong, Brother Gao Ming, you should have seen it, I don't know who this benevolent brother is?" As he spoke, he gestured to the heart of the carriage standing beside him.
Li Chengqian said: "This is a distant relative of the crown princess, whose name is Su Chengxin, you two have something to do with him?" โ
Li Siwen said politely: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't know if this good brother has a marriage match?" โ
Li Chengqian looked at Li Yulong's flushed face, and probably understood a little in his heart, "I am not married, and my younger brother has only been in Chang'an for less than a month, so I won't talk more to Brother Siwen when I am a little tired today, otherwise we will talk more when you come to the East Palace tomorrow afternoon?" After speaking, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at Li Siwen.
Li Siwen also understood immediately, "Your Highness, I will take my little sister to visit the East Palace tomorrow afternoon." โ
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you in the East Palace tomorrow, but I don't dare to miss the appointment. Brother Liang, let's go. After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he lowered the curtain.
He saluted Li Siwen and Li Yulong, and then slowly walked away with the carriage.
Li Siwen watched Chengxin slowly follow the car and quickly stabbed Li Yulong, Li Yulong blushed, but still said symmetrically: "Brother Xiangxin, see you tomorrow." โ
Satisfaction turned to her and nodded, "See you tomorrow." โ
Along the way, the atmosphere of Li Chengqian and Brother Liang was not right, and no matter what they saw, they could pull out a sentence: "This is not simple, and a trip can settle the daughters of General Li's family." โ
For example: Seeing the plaque of Yufengzhai, Li Chengqian said: "Mr. Liang, we haven't come here to eat for a long time, right?" โ
Mr. Liang continued, "Yes! is still very satisfying, and a trip can settle the daughters of General Li's family. โ
"This fabric is good, I'll buy a few tomorrow!" Brother Liang said.
"Make a few more clothes for your heart, and hook up with a few more generals' daughters." Li Chengqian said.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
This journey was very awkward by the appearance of these two people, I didn't think it was a thing, but now my face is red and unpresentable.
Back in the East Palace, Xiao Lizi was already waiting at the door, and he was thinking about how to plant it with this small pocket of loot.
But I saw Xiao Li Zi quietly come over, "Your Highness, Li Junxian is already waiting in the main hall, only himself, do you have anything to talk to him." โ
Li Chengqian nodded, "Satisfaction, you go with me, since you know about this matter, ask everything you want to say." โ
Satisfactory had no choice but to agree, silently following behind Li Chengqian, holding the small pocket in his hand and not daring to slack off.
In the main hall, a tall and handsome man was standing straight, and when he saw Li Chengqian coming over, he knelt down and saluted, "See His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know when His Highness called Weichen over." โ
Li Chengqian took out the gold-level auction list from his sleeve, "One of the lots in today's auction is the Zhuge Repeater, what you have to do is to find a seller to see who made this repeater, where and how much he made, what is the purpose of making these repeaters?" โ
After speaking, he looked at Chengxin and signaled that he had anything to add, and said busily: "Also, don't hurt the person who made the repeater, if you can, it's best to invite him back." โ
Li Chengqian nodded, "That's all, you can report to your father first and then go to do it at this time, but you must understand quickly." โ
Li Junxian took the gold-level auction order, "Yes, Weichen will do it." โ
After speaking, he stood up and strode out, looking at Li Junxian's departure, the caution in his eyes began to shoot out again, "It's so handsome." Satisfaction thought to herself.
Li Junxian walked out of the East Palace, and happened to meet Brother Liang who had not left yet, and saw Brother Liang Li Junxian leaning over, "Liang Jiaotou, life is very moist!" โ
Brother Liang saw that it was Li Junxian, and said impatiently: "That's it, the wife and children are hot on the kang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats people well, and his wallet is bulging, this day is naturally very beautiful." โ
Li Junxian didn't say anything more, bowed his hand, and then walked towards the deep palace without looking back.
Chengxin, who had been watching all this, sighed silently in his heart, "No one in this East Palace is simple. โ
