Chapter 246: Black Wind City
"Almost half a year. ”
Xiong Quan pondered for a moment before he said to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian nodded, he was mentally prepared.
Not to mention that leaving the Imperial City of the Chixiao Kingdom and arriving at the border area of the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom, it would take about three months to cross a county......
Even from the border of the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom to the 'Seven Star Sword Sect', there is still a long distance.
It was also them who rushed with sweat and blood, otherwise, even if it took a year, they might not be able to reach the 'Seven Star Sword Sect'.
Duan Lingtian and the three of them, with Xiong Quan, a double powerhouse of the Voyeur Realm who had comprehended the 'subtle sword potential', left the Chixiao Kingdom all the way to the second district of the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom, but they didn't encounter any trouble.
Occasionally, horse thieves came running, but they were all easily slaughtered by the bears.
As Duan Ling Tian had expected, three months later, they arrived at a city located between the border of the Chixiao Kingdom and the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom.
Although this city is not a county town in the Chixiao Kingdom, it covers an area that is not smaller than the county town.
"Xiong Quan, have you been to this city?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
Xiong Quan shook his head.
"Let's go in. ”
Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows, took the veiled two little girls, and went directly into the city.
This border city is extremely prosperous, and many caravans can be seen coming and going......
According to Duan Lingtian's guess, these caravans should all be traveling back and forth between the Chixiao Kingdom and the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom.
After entering the city, some people riding bloody horses could be seen everywhere, and Duan Lingtian and the four of them rode in with bloody horses, which did not attract the attention of others.
Under the leadership of Duan Lingtian, the four of them found a restaurant to eat.
Before ordering, Duan Lingtian gave the restaurant a little tip, and asked curiously, "Tell me about your city?"
Seeing that Duan Ling Tian was so generous, the little servant naturally knew everything, and said with a smile: "Guest, this is the first time you have come to our 'Black Wind City', right?"
"Black Wind City?"
Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows and continued to listen to the little guy.
"Guest, our Black Wind City is a border commercial city under the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom, located on the northeastern border of the Chixiao Kingdom...... Normally, some caravans traveling between the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom and the Chixiao Kingdom would settle in our Black Wind City. ”
The little guy said slowly.
Duan Lingtian nodded, he had discovered this on the road just now.
Xiao Wu continued: "Guest, the first time you come to our Black Wind City, you must remember...... Don't offend 'people surnamed Huang', 'people surnamed Zhong' and 'people surnamed Ma'. ”
Speaking of this, the little girl's face became slightly solemn.
"Is there anything special about these three surnames?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
The little guy shook his head, "It's nothing special. These three surnames are the 'surnames' of our three major families in Black Wind City...... Guest, you should have come from the Chixiao Kingdom, right?"
"How do you know?"
Duan Lingtian was a little surprised.
Xiao Wu said with a smile: "Because most of the people who go to the Chixiao Kingdom from the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom are people who travel with caravans, and there are very few 'individual guests'. So, I guess you're from the Chixiao Kingdom...... Guest, are you going to go to the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom?"
"Not bad. ”
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Guest, remember what I just said...... The three major families of Black Wind City, although they are not ranked at all in the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom, are much stronger than many families in your Chixiao Kingdom. Even, it is only inferior to the three top families of your Chixiao Kingdom Imperial City!"
The little guy reminded again.
"Got it. ”
Duan Lingtian nodded, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
He naturally knew that the three top families of the Chixiao Kingdom in the mouth of the little guy were the 'Duan Family', the 'Xiao Family' and the 'Su Family' in the Imperial City.
Not to mention the existence inferior to these three families.
With Xiong all here, even if it was these three major families, Duan Lingtian was not afraid.
"Guest, what are you eating?"
The little guy asked respectfully.
"You can help us with something, we don't have any taboos. ”
Duan Lingtian said to the little guy.
The little guy retreated.
"It's time to eat, take off the veil. ”
Duan Lingtian looked at the two little girls beside him and said with a smile.
The two little girls blinked their autumn eyes and obediently took off the veil on their faces......
And at this moment, there was a sound of smashing glasses in the restaurant.
But some male drinkers looked at Li Fei and Ke'er, completely stunned, and didn't even know that the cup in their hand had fallen.
Soon, the meal came up.
"Xiong Quan, you can sit down and eat. ”
Duan Lingtian beckoned Xiong Quan, and Xiong Quan sat down in response.
The four of them had been hungry for a day, and the wind and clouds swept the whole table of food, and at this time, the sky gradually darkened, but the lights in the restaurant were still bright.
"I heard that at the auction of the 'Ma Family Auction House' tonight, there is a group of slaves to be auctioned. ”
"I've heard that, too. Not only slaves, but it is said that the 'Ma Family Auction House' has also bought a lot of good things this time. ”
"Hurry up and finish the meal, and we'll go and see what we want. "The concubine physiognomy
......
At this moment, at a table not far away, the discussion of several middle-aged men reached Duan Lingtian's ears.
Ma Family Auction House?
Auctions?
Duan Lingtian suddenly became interested.
This Black Wind City is a border city located between the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom and the Chixiao Kingdom, and there have been many caravans in the past, and there must be many merchants here to get rid of some 'good things'.
Perhaps, something will appear at the auction house that interests him.
After eating, Duan Lingtian beckoned to the little guy from before.
"Guest, what do you command?"
The little guy asked Duan Lingtian respectfully.
"I want to ask you, what should I do if I also want to participate in the auction of the Nama family's auction house?"
Duan Lingtian got straight to the point, and at the same time, he put down a piece of silver ingot.
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, put away the silver ingot, and hurriedly said: "Guest, we have three major auction houses in Black Wind City, which are controlled by the three major families...... Each auction house holds an auction every three months, and the two months left in between are reserved for the other two auction houses to hold auctions. In other words, Black Wind City has an auction every other month. ”
"Tonight, it happens to be the day of the auction held by the Ma Family Auction House, and you are a good guest. ”
"Out of the gate of our restaurant, turn left, keep walking at the end of the road, and then turn right, you can see the Majia auction house......"
"The entrance fee to the Ma Family Auction House is divided into two levels. First, spend 1,000 taels of silver to obtain the right to bid, and sit in the seats in the hall to bid...... Second, for 100,000 taels of silver, the Ma family will provide a separate box and the most comprehensive service. ”
Speaking of this, the little guy couldn't help but smack his tongue.
For him, the auction house of Black Wind City, he may not have the opportunity to enter in his life.
An ordinary seat costs a thousand taels?
Duan Lingtian's eyes froze, and he was also a little surprised.
There is also a separate box, which costs 100,000 taels......
Out of the Chixiao Kingdom, this silver has also depreciated too much, right?
Duan Lingtian nodded, and immediately took his children who had re-put on the veil and walked out of the restaurant.
Xiong Quan led four sweaty and bloody horses and followed.
Duan Lingtian and the four of them went directly to the Ma Family Auction House.
At this time, the Ma family auction house has already begun to enter, but there are not many people who have entered, and there should be some time before the auction starts.
At the gate of the auction house, a row of small servants stood there, like doormen.
As soon as Duan Lingtian and the four of them arrived at the gate of the auction house, a small servant greeted them and took the reins of the four sweaty and bloody BMWs in Xiong Quan's hand. Textbooks of the future
Another servant stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Guest, do you need a seat in the hall or a separate box?"
"Separate box. ”
Duan Lingtian said to the little guy.
"Guest, please come with me. ”
When the little servant heard this, his attitude became even more humble, and he took Duan Lingtian and a few people into the auction house and took them to the box on the second floor of the auction house.
The neat and clean box gives people a comfortable feeling.
The box was extremely spacious, accommodating Duan Lingtian for four people, more than enough.
Duan Lingtian walked inside the box, and through the window of the box, he could just see the auction table below, which was very convenient.
After the little girl came in, he began to pour hot tea for Duan Lingtian and the two little girls and prepared snacks.
Then he stood aside respectfully.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door, and the little servant stepped out, opened the door of the box, and respectfully greeted the people outside, "Steward." ”
A middle-aged man with a bearded face walked in slowly and looked at Duan Lingtian, "Hello, guest, I'm the manager of the Ma family's auction house, Ma Qin. ”
When the steward of the auction house arrived, Duan Lingtian naturally guessed his intention.
As soon as he raised his hand, 100,000 taels of silver tickets appeared out of thin air and handed them to Ma Qin.
Ma Qin took the silver ticket, and his eyes suddenly lit up!
The first thought that crossed his mind was that this young man, who seemed to be less than twenty years old, was not simple!
At a young age, he has a 'precept', and he obviously has an extraordinary background.
"Thank you for the guest. ”
After Ma Qin accepted the silver ticket, he took a deep look at Xiong Quan behind Duan Lingtian before turning around and leaving.
"Four guests, if there is any need, I will stand guard at the door. ”
The little servant respectfully said to Duan Lingtian and the others, retreated, and closed the door.
At this time, Kerr and Li Fei also took off their veils.
"It's such a place, and if you stay for a few hours, it will cost you 100,000 taels of silver?"
Li Fei shook his head, a little difficult to accept this fact.
Although Ke'er didn't say anything, her face was also full of horror.
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly, he could understand this.
After all, this is no better than those cities in the Red Sky Kingdom.
Here, to a certain extent, it is already a city in the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom, and this Black Wind City is a necessary place for caravans, and the consumption level here is probably not much better than those cities in the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom.
This point, when checking out at the restaurant, Duan Lingtian found out.
"It's not started yet. ”
Half an hour later, Li Feiliu's eyebrows frowned slightly, a little impatient
