Chapter 327: The Opening of the Lesmen Temple
Bei Ming nodded with a smile and said, "Serious business, Your Excellency is the fourth prince?"
"Hahaha...."The fourth prince smiled, came over and patted Beiming on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect it to be so many years, I met when I met Duke Xinglan at the beginning, and so many years have passed." "The four princes give people the feeling that there is no sense of distance, it may be that so many years of military career have brought him an affinity and the coolness of a soldier.
But what he said Beiming was directly a fart, everything from childhood to adulthood as long as he wanted to recall it, there was nothing he couldn't remember, this guy said that he had seen him when he visited Duke Xinglan It was pure nonsense....
"I don't know about this...."Bei Ming said and bowed slightly, "I've seen the four princes." ”
"Eh, don't be so angry. The fourth prince smiled and waved his hand and said, "We are all our own people....."
"Don't, you still have to have the necessary courtesies...."Bei Ming said with a smile, thinking that he was quite good at pulling relationships, and he didn't say a word to his own people....
Bei Ming ignored him, and said directly: "Fourth prince, didn't you lead troops in the Northern Army, when did you come back?"
"How can there be any soldiers, I just have experience, to increase knowledge. The fourth prince smiled and said, "I only arrived in the Holy Capital today, didn't I have to come and see your heroic deeds..."
"What's the matter, the fourth prince, you are laughing. Beiming said with a standard etiquette smile on his face.
While the two of them were talking, another person came over, who looked a little like the fourth prince, with a delicate mustache and said, "Fourth brother, when did you come back?"
"Ah, third brother. The fourth prince said and bowed slightly: "Didn't you just arrive today, and then I received an invitation from the Lesmen Temple, changed my clothes and came over." ”
"I mean, why don't you come back without squeaking. After the third prince finished speaking, he looked at Bei Ming and said, "This should be Young Master Beiming, right?
Don't think that this must be the third prince, this third prince will give people a sense of distance and a kind of aristocratic arrogance.
Yes, even if you are unlucky, you have met so many princes, Beiming thought in his heart.... But he still said with a smile on his face: "I've seen the three princes, I'm all blind and can't get on the stage...."
"No, no, this kind of deeds of Young Master Beiming is bound to be praised for a hundred years...."The third prince said with a smile.
A few of them were chatting about the Nine Emperor Princes coming over in time to relieve the siege, "Third brother, fourth brother, when did you two come?"
"I just arrived, didn't I see Young Master Beiming coming over to talk. The fourth prince said with a smile.
The Third Prince just nodded, in his eyes, since the Nine Emperor Princes were already members of the Magic Guild, they naturally had no qualifications to compete for the throne, let alone embark on a career in office, although the Nine Emperors were now famous and had done a lot of beautiful things in the Magic Guild, but he didn't put the Nine Emperors in his eyes at all.
The Nine Emperors smiled and didn't say anything.
.....
While they were all chatting here, in a small room behind the stage, a well-dressed man stood at the door of the room and knocked on the door.
Duke was sitting in the room where five beauties were massaging him, Duke was enjoying the tea in his hand, thinking that the service of the Lesmen Temple was in place, no wonder that kid from Beixinglan was so obsessed with this place before, and he was beautiful, and he heard a knock on the door outside.
He waved his hand, let the five beauties step aside, and said, "Come in." ”
Pushing the door in, it was a middle-aged man in his mid-fifties.
Duke looked at him, then waved his hand to let all the beauties out, then put down the tea, picked up the cigar he had just lit and said, "Oops, what wind brought you here?"
The middle-aged man's aura was not weak at all, he pulled a chair, lit a cigarette and sat opposite Duke and said, "Wait for you to come up to the stage and say a congratulatory speech?"
"Uh-huh. Duke spat out a puff of cigarette and said, "Alexander's invitation, there is no way, it's all a debt of affection, and it has to be repaid...."
"I don't care what your friendship is, I'm here to ask you for help. The middle-aged man took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I need to be on stage in a moment, I want to say a greeting... On behalf of the Royals!" he said asking Duke for help, but his tone made it seem like he was directing Duke. He had to come to Duke, because almost half of the noble families of the Holy Capital would be present tonight, and if he could speak on behalf of the royal family on such an occasion, the influence would be very far-reaching, and he had to fight for it!
Duke was about to go back after hearing him, but after thinking about it, this was an opportunity to provoke their conflict, so he smiled and said: "This is Alexander's field, you don't need my consent to go on stage." ”
"Thank you. The intermediary nodded and spoke, then cocked Erlang's legs and stopped talking, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, the appearance of a maid broke the embarrassing situation, "President Duke, the boss invites you to prepare for the stage...."
Duke smiled and said, "Okay, let's go." As he spoke, he got up and glanced at the middle-aged man, and walked out.
The middle-aged man threw the unfinished cigarette in his hand directly into Duke's teacup, stood up and tidied up his clothes, and went out after Duke.
.......
In the hall, Beiming was still chatting with a few princes, and a beautiful woman suddenly appeared on the stage and said: "Please sit down according to the name plate, the ceremony will start immediately, thank you for your cooperation." ”
This seat label was specially made by Alexander, and he was afraid that people would disturb some people's good interest by sitting blindly, so he simply arranged fixed seats for them, and no one said anything.
Beiming and they nodded to each other and said, "I'll see you later." "Then I went to find their seats. The name plate of the seat was arranged just now, and it all had their names on it, and the Nine Emperor Princes Pu Xiuwen and the others sat together with Beiming's gang.
A few minutes later, Alexander came to the stage, spread his hands and said, "Good evening, everyone! I didn't expect us to be able to get together at the beginning of this year, although it came late, but it didn't matter!" and bowed, "Thank you again for taking time out of your busy schedules to come....."
"First of all, let us solemnly invite today's distinguished guests! Everyone applauds and welcomes!" Alexander said excitedly.
At this time, two people came up, one was Duke, and the other looked about 50 years old, looking relatively handsome, with a slight arrogance on his face. Bei Ming wanted to see his appearance, maybe he was the legendary prince.
The faces of the three princes and the four princes sitting in the audience have changed significantly!
The Nine Emperor Princes whispered in Beiming's ear: "This is the eldest prince, and the officials of the old faction in the DPRK and China are basically from his faction. ”0
Bei Ming nodded and replied: "This guy can let Alexander be specially invited to speak on stage, it can be seen that his power is really strong to a certain extent, and in this case, it is basically obvious to occupy the side...."
"That's right, how could such a clever merchant as Alexander stand in line so nakedly?" the Nine Emperors shook his head and said, "I don't understand. ”
"yes...."Bei Ming also touched his chin and said.
How could Alexander not have thought of such a simple truth? The eldest prince had taken the initiative to ask for it before, saying that he would say a congratulatory speech at the opening ceremony on behalf of the royal family, but Alexander directly refused, he would rather not invite anyone from the royal family, and he would not have offended all the princes by currying favor with one prince, and he would not do this kind of loss-making business! So he found the high-status Magic Guild and asked Duke to give a congratulatory speech, although the Magic Guild has been noisy and infighting over the years, but there is one thing, they are not involved in politics, and they are still a neutral organization.
But seeing that the eldest prince also followed the stage, Alexander's eyes narrowed, and he knew that the wood was already in the boat, and it was not realistic to bomb him down again, since this is the case, then make this ship bigger! So he directly said: "Do you think that we only have these two guests? It's too simple, our Lesmen Temple has always been lively! Yes, you guessed right! We also have some hidden guests!"
"Let's applaud now, Beichen Mansion on behalf of Young Master Beiming! Prime Minister's Mansion on behalf of Young Master Klin! Also, the three princes who came from the Magic Guild, the three princes who rushed from the military department, and the four princes who have just returned from the training of the Northern Military Region! Everyone applauds, please!" Alexander's idea is very simple, don't you want to represent the royal family? Don't you want to be in the limelight? I'll get you a bunch of people to see how you show off!
Bei Ming was stunned for a moment by the sudden name, and then understood that Alexander didn't want to be used as a springboard by the eldest prince, so he temporarily pulled a few of them to the stage, and he and the Nine Emperors smiled tacitly.
"Let's go?" said the Nine Emperor Princes with a smile and raised his chin on the stage.
"Since it's all named, let's be polite, let's go!" Bei Ming said and stood up, tidied up his clothes and walked to the stage.
There was thunderous applause from the audience, and everyone walked to the stage and stood in a row.
At this time, Alexander acted as the host again, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it, there are a lot of guests today, let's start according to age, Young Master Beiming, please!"
Gao, what official position, what status, directly according to the number of years, impartial. Bei Ming thought about these in his heart and walked to the center of the stage, flattered his hands and said, "Hmm.... Very suddenly, I didn't expect Mr. Alexander to be so magnificent, and he could invite me to the stage on such an occasion, and I also very sincerely say sorry to Mr. Alexander, and I also apologize to everyone here, really, so many days have left you with no place to pass the time, sorry everyone, I wish you all good luck! Whatever you play, what you win! I also wish Mr. Alexander a prosperous business, and I will not run into a fool like me again, thank you!"
Beiming bowed after speaking, and then stepped off the stage amid applause from the audience. To be honest, this made Beiming's temporary speech really embarrassing for him, He only knew that there was a black market transaction in the Lethmen Temple, and the other businesses didn't know what he was running except for pulling-=Pi-strip Beiming, so he said what to play and what to win, and whether there was a casino in the end Beiming didn't know....
Then there was the Nine Emperors, and he also said some congratulatory words that did not hurt or itch, and then stepped down, and the interesting thing is that the three princes and the four princes were two of them, both of whom said that they represented the royal family, and especially said that they were grateful to Alexander for inviting them to the stage, and the word "invite" was deliberately bitten very hard! It was to slap the eldest prince in the face.
All that's left is some decent congratulatory words. Finally, when the ceremony ended, and when Alexander announced that "it is business as usual in the Temple of Lesmen", the maid handed each of them a map with a detailed description of which hall and what business, and everyone ended happily....
"That.... Call me when you go... Hey, hey...."Pu Xiuwen smiled embarrassedly and went to find his Chris.
"What is this magician venue?" said Mourning, pointing to the map.
"How do I know that you and I come here often, and this is the first time I've come here. Bei Ming looked for the black market on the map and said casually.
"Okay, I'll go there first, and spend whatever I want?"
"Spend whatever you want, and record it in Beiming's account..."Beiming finally found a place called the trading center, on the fourth floor. He raised his head and looked at Wutian and said, "Remember it on Beiming's account, but don't record it on Beichen Mansion." Beiming still remembered Alexander's promise that he could give him credit, and he had to be tricked.
"Okay, don't worry, who's going with me?" asked Mourning.
"You go, I have to get something for him when Young Master Beiming goes to the black market." The gunner shook his head and said.
Shui Ningxin looked at the map and said, "I'm not interested either, you can go play." ”
Bei Ming patted the gunner's shoulder and said, "Gunner, I don't need your help, let's just come to play today, let's go and see the mourning sky." ”
"It's just, it's boring to walk around. As he spoke, he dragged the gunner up and dragged him out.
"But... Young Master...."The gunner looks like Beiming.
Bei Ming waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, let's play." ”
Wutian pulled the gunners away, and the Nine Emperors and Dong Lichen went to a place called the "Imperial Palace". Beiming went straight to the trading center on the fourth floor with Shui Ningxin.
When we arrived at the trading center, it was also a hall, and there were small booths set up one by one, and each booth had two waiters, and they would first give a booklet with what they had and the price on it. Just tell them what you want, and they'll show you a sample and decide how much to buy.
Compared with other entertainment halls, there are fewer people, and these people present can see that although they are all gorgeously dressed, it can be clearly seen from their temperament and conversation that these people are housekeepers and guards in the homes of some big people, and there is no celebrity who pays attention to these things all day long.
Beiming and the others were taken to a booth, and the waiter directly served two glasses of expensive wine, and said with a smile: "Miss, young master, what do you need to order?"
In order to save time and make a quick decision, Bei Ming directly took out the list that Yu Fei wrote for him, and said, "Give me some samples of all of them." ”
The waiter quickly looked at the order, nodded and said, "Okay sir, these are in stock, you can sit down for a while, and I'll bring them to you right away." ”
"Hmm. ”
After the waiter left, Shui Ningxin looked at the price on the booklet and smacked his tongue and said, "These things.... It's too dark here!" he said, closing the booklet, "The things here are more than twice as tall as Bai Lan!"
Bei Ming took a sip of wine and said: "There is no way, many of them are controlled by the military, and they are considered contraband here, and if they are caught, they will not be imprisoned, and they will have to eat guns! And it is still a monopoly here! Of course, the price is high." ”
"It's too dark. Shui Ningxin shook his head and said, "Yes, how can you care about this little money when you go in and out of here." ”
"That's not necessarily, I just care...."Beiming felt pain at the thought of having to pay off the debt owed by Beichen Mansion, shook his head and said, "While I still have money, let's enjoy it quickly." As he spoke, he took a sip of wine, looked at the wine glass and said, "Dock people, this wine will cost a few hundred gold coins in a glass, so hurry up and take two more sips." ”
Shui Ningxin snorted and laughed, and said, "Why don't you have the temperament of a young master at all, but you look like a little bastard on the street like Mourning Tian..."
"Hey. Bei Ming smiled and said: "This is the character of my young master Bei Ming, you see, didn't you pretend to be a human model dog at that ceremony just now, and successfully broke into them..."
"It's still like that...."Shui Ningxin said with a smile.
The two chatted and the waiter brought a tray with white gloves, and the samples of each material were sealed and packaged separately, which looked particularly exquisite, and then said: "I'll show you two, you can see the authenticity...."
Bei Ming directly interrupted him and said, "You have to get it, you can let it go, I'll do it myself." He waved them away.
Beiming opened the individually packaged materials one by one, looked at this, touched that, and muttered in his mouth: "Alexander is really stingy enough, just give such a small sample." ”
"This has to be examined, in case there are fakes again...."Shui Ningxin said as he watched from the side.
"Don't worry, this thing won't, I don't want to think about who these people are, and he doesn't dare to lend Alexander a few guts. Bei Ming said as he fiddled with a material.
Shui Ning looked at him curiously and said, "Since you're not afraid of fakes, what are you doing?"
"I...."Bei Ming said embarrassedly: "I first recognize what these materials look like, otherwise.... When I built the mecha in two days, I didn't know most of them, how embarrassing it was....."
"You...."Shui Ningxin rolled her eyes and said, "You're really the most watery mechanic I've ever seen...."
"Hehe, although the water is a little watery, I have created a new type of mecha epoch-making..."Bei Ming said extremely shamelessly.
After familiarizing himself with all the materials, Bei Ming said: "Okay, according to the quantity on the list, pack them for me." ”
"It's... Does the waiter really want so much?" the waiter hesitated and asked, the weight of three sets of mecha was written on the list, which was enough to make a small pile of munitions, and the waiter thought that the weight was written wrong when he saw it.
"That's right. Bei Ming nodded and said, "Just hang it on my account directly." ”
"Young master, our rule here is to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other..."
"Huh?" Bei Ming chuckled in his heart, thinking to himself that this is the Alexander tricking me, and then said: "Didn't your boss put down his words? I am Bei Ming, just send these materials directly to Beichen Mansion." ”
"O... Young Master Beiming, that's okay, I'm sorry. "The waiter knew that the boss had specially explained that Beiming could pay on credit.
"Well, that's it. Beiming stood up and said, and then thought that since he could take credit, he would bring some gifts back to his family, and asked, "Do you have any well-known firearms, accessories, etc.?"
"We don't have it here, only materials, you can go to the auction hall in front and have a look. The waiter said.
"Okay, let's take a look. ”
Beiming came to the auction hall with Shui Ningxin again, and the layout here was also a small booth one by one, Beiming and they were brought to their seats, and the waiter brought a thick auction manual.
"You see if there's anything you want, just buy it, it doesn't matter. Bei Ming said as he flipped through the manual.
Shui Ningxin shook her head: "I don't have anything I want to buy." She flipped through the auction brochure without a purpose, saying that all her equipment had been purchased by Elvis, and that she lacked nothing.
"Alright, let's stay a little while and get my dad a gun, he likes to collect these. Bei Ming closed the manual and said.
"It doesn't matter, what we have today is time. ”
Now there is an ancient knife being auctioned above, and Bei Ming knows that behind this ancient knife is an out-of-print silver gun, so he plans to buy this.
"Okay, what's our next collection..... A 50-year-old silver gun!" said the auctioneer on stage. "This gun has a long history, and many big names have used it, so it can be said that it is the pinnacle of firearms manufacturing technology! Unfortunately, the production process has been lost! The starting price is 1 million gold coins!"
Many people took a fancy to this gun and bid one after another, and Beiming directly raised the price to 8 million to win the gun. Everyone didn't say much when they saw that Beiming was bidding, and they all planned to sell Beiming a favor and stopped bidding.
Bei Ming stood up and said, "Thank you, your drinks are mine!" Bei Ming also figured it out now, anyway, Alexander asked him to pay on credit, why don't you use this money to do something generous?
"Thank you, Young Master Beiming!!"
"Young Master Beiming's atmosphere!!"
People applauded, and Beiming waved to them. After that, Beiming was taken to a small room to inspect the goods, and when Beiming took it in his hand, he knew why the auctioneer told him that this was the pinnacle of firearms manufacturing technology, and he didn't brag at all-=forced, whether it was power or feel, it was definitely the best pistol used by Beiming!
"I picked up the treasure, but I didn't expect to buy an artifact when I bought the machine!" Bei Ming said with a light in his eyes.
