May 4th, eight o'clock.

Hai City, Binh Province, a road off the highway.

Feng Cheng drove the car, and Zhao Zhou sat in the passenger seat.

And in the back seat, in addition to Zhou Xiao, who was left in the martial arts hall by Zhao Zhou to take care of the young eagles, there were also disciples such as He Peng and Xiong Zi sitting in a row. There were nine people in the car, which was more than enough for a twelve-seater business car.

And also at this time.

Zhao Zhou glanced at the road sign, then took out his mobile phone and dialed the 'Desert Lonely Smoke'.

When the two voices of 'Didi' were connected, Zhao Zhou had nothing to be polite, and directly stated that he was 'rich Master Zhao', and explained to the desert lonely smoke that he had come to Haishi in Ping Province to see how the desert lonely smoke was arranged.

"Why didn't Master Zhao come here without saying a word?" The voice of the desert lonely smoke on the other end of the phone was very arrogant. And what he said was that after Zhao Zhou saved his phone, why he hadn't contacted him in the past two days, which made him mistakenly think that 'rich Master Zhao' had released his pigeons.

However, he is also an old man who deals with people, and after a joke, he got down to business.

"Where is Master Zhao, I'm going to pick you up?" The desert lonely smoke is the main home, and I want to do my best to meet the friendship of the landlord and come to meet it for a hundred miles.

"I can't do it, I can't lose it. Just say a place to meet. Have a meal and talk. Zhao Zhou felt that there was no need to trouble others, it was better to say a meeting place to save the trouble of 'joint'.

"Haiyan Hotel. On the west side of Mingchen Road. The desert smoke at the other end didn't say anything more.

But after he finished saying this, he seemed to be holding the microphone and whispered a few words to the side, asking the company's employees or his subordinates to tidy up the hotel private room.

"See you at the place." Zhao Zhou didn't say much, and talked about everything when we met.

And also hung up the phone.

Zhao Zhou opened the window of the car, accompanied by the cool breeze of 'whirring', and the practice clothes on the disciples in the car swayed in waves, and it could be seen that they were all good silk materials.

This is also why Zhao Zhou felt that when he went out this time, if his own disciples were still in sportswear and casual clothes, it would be too bad, so he used some precious silk in the world of rivers and lakes to match everyone.

In addition, Zhao Zhou has the foundation to build a tailor here, and at a glance at them, he can get the most sophisticated silhouette size. Tailor nine pieces, also in a short time. Not only is it efficient and doesn't waste time, but it also fits perfectly.

And two days ago.

Zhao Zhou went to the hotel to kill people and clean up the aftermath, but in general, it had little impact on Zhou Xiao and the others, and there was no bad psychological trauma.

Because they also killed and injured people by mistake on that day, and their own owner was helping them find a venue, if they didn't know how to be grateful, they would have other thoughts. Then if they don't wait for them to leave the martial arts hall, Zhao Zhou will also 'take back' their skills.

Especially when the three of them saw their own pavilion owner receiving bullets empty-handed that day, they were even more shocked and indescribable, and they all regarded Zhao Zhou as a 'fairy!' ’

So, worshipping under the immortal door must be fortunate in this life, what else is there to say.

In the past two days, the three of them must have practiced martial arts, what should they do, work hard, learn one or two more 'real skills', and they will not leave anything.

Equally.

Zhao Zhou felt that the three of them had been more diligent in their cultivation in the past two days, and he also felt that the three of them had not been saved in vain.

..

"Don't worry about it. And now that Zhou Xiao and the three of them have passed on the Yijin Sutra, all that remains is to teach them some Shaolin boxing routines and let them complement each other. ”

On the bustling Mingchen Road street.

With the sound of 'Didi', cars came and went.

Zhao Zhou thought about it, looked at all kinds of high-rise buildings outside the car window, and saw that there were entertainment clubs, restaurants and hotels nearby, and there were some 'medium and high-end' vehicles parked in front of the door, basically all of them were cars starting from two or three hundred thousand, or sports car types.

But there are also some low-key big bosses who drive ordinary cars in a low-key manner, but they are not conspicuous among these good cars.

And as you go further, you pass through some congested sections.

Zhao Zhou also saw that near the entrance of the consumption place, in addition to the invisible underground parking lot, the grade of the vehicles parked on the ground is also getting higher and higher, as if the more you go inside, this is also divided into 'consumption level'.

But in fact, Mingchen Road is indeed the bustling central section of the city, and it is also a recognized 'high consumption' area in the entire province.

It's really that the further you go in, the higher the level of consumption.

Among them, Haiyan Hotel is even more expensive, resulting in few ordinary friends and family members who come here to eat. On the contrary, it is the two bosses who talk about business and projects that will choose this place.

This is also to give face to the partners, and it is also to show their sincerity on the surface.

Similarly, when Feng Cheng drove the car to the street in front of the Haiyan Hotel in the center of Mingchen Road.

Zhao Zhou also saw that there were cars parked nearby, or driving in front and rear, and there were rarely one or two hundred thousand cars, all of which started at three or four hundred thousand, or it was not uncommon for sports cars to be more than one million.

And the people who get out of these cars are also some bosses wearing brand-name clothes, executives and elites of large companies, children of rich people, tall and beautiful women.

Or a few cultivators who were discovered by Zhao Zhou because of some strange movements of muscles and bones.

"Lao Li, long time no see!" They got out of the car, threw the car keys to the hotel staff on duty next to them, and asked the staff to go to the underground garage to park, and then chatted and laughed with their peers while walking into the hotel with a neat 'welcome' sound at the hotel gate.

It's just that with a few 'buzzing' sounds, Zhao Zhou's 12-seater business car, which is more than 100,000 yuan, is now driving out of the road and stopping at this gate, which is unique.

"Do you have an appointment?" When the staff saw that there were customers coming again, they trotted over and bowed down to ask Feng Cheng in the driver's seat, and there was no impatient look because of the problem with the car.

"There is an appointment." When Feng Cheng heard the inquiry, he replied generously, and he didn't show any embarrassment because of the high grade of this hotel.

After all, he had carried a murder case two days ago, and he was even stained with the law, and he had never seen any strong winds and waves, so how could he be frightened by this small hotel.

Similarly, the disciples in the car have seen the scene of their own pavilion owner buying a sports car arrogantly, and they are also immune to this scene, and they are not shocked to lose the face of their own pavilion owner.

"Which private room do you order?" The staff took out the pager in a proper manner. After confirming the appointment of Zhao Zhou and others, he was ready to take the key and park while leading the way.

But when Feng Cheng heard this question, he didn't know how to answer, and looked at his own owner again.

And Zhao Zhou took out his mobile phone and dialed the desert lonely smoke to avoid unnecessary nonsense.

At the same time, with Zhao Zhou's dial. Within a few seconds, the phone was connected, and the voice of the desert lonely smoke came.

"Master Zhao, the business car at the door is yours?" It seems that the desert lonely smoke has already arrived at the hotel, and has been watching the neighborhood, knowing the vehicles coming and going to the hotel well.

As a result, he now saw a car being stopped, so he guessed and asked.

"Exactly." Zhao Zhou glanced at the sports car that had not been parked in the underground garage nearby, and he was not embarrassed to say anything, so he generously said that the business car at the door was his own.

It's just that as soon as Zhao Zhou's words fell, with the busy sound of 'Didi', the call was hung up in the next second!

However, as soon as the phone hung up, a slightly chubby middle-aged man walked out of the hotel with a hotel manager and an old man with his eyes slightly closed, and walked straight towards Zhao Zhou.

"Yan Dong!" When the nearby staff saw the middle-aged, they hurriedly saluted.

"Yes. Work hard, at the end of the year, I will give you a red envelope! The middle-aged man also smiled kindly all the way, and nodded back with the staff who saluted. And his voice is exactly the heroic appearance on the phone.

The old man behind him was stepping on an inch, every step was impartial, as if he was practicing martial arts all the time, indifferent to everything around him.

But not to mention the old man who practices martial arts.

The slightly fat middle-aged man is indeed a lonely smoke in the desert, and he is also one of the shareholders of this hotel.

In addition, he has also invested in many catering real estate projects, and his worth is also the richest man in Binh Province.

"Master Zhao. Why don't you make a call when you're almost there. ”

When he came to Zhao Zhou's car, he asked with a smile, and asked the hotel manager next to him to take Zhao Zhou's key to park, not caring that Zhao Zhou looked like he was only twenty or thirty years old.

Click-

The car door opened, and Zhao Zhou also walked out with nine disciples wearing practice uniforms.

In addition, everyone is neatly dressed and has a big waist and a round waist, if they are wearing suits, they are really like the bodyguards of the eldest young master.

"Master Zhao, this is?"

Seeing that everyone was quite powerful, Da Desert Guyan laughed.

There was no other meaning in the tone, just to see that these people were wearing the same as Zhao Zhou, so I wanted Zhao Zhou to introduce them and get to know each other. I want to know if these people are Zhao Zhou's 'rich friends', or what.

"It's all a practitioner." The old man who closed his eyes slightly suddenly took a step, praised it, and saluted everyone with his fists, "Yang Xing, Baji Boxing." ”

"Boss Yan. Master Yang. Zhao Zhou heard the honorific title of the staff just now to call the desert lonely smoke, and he followed the title.

Then, Zhao Zhou first said his name before introducing the people behind him, "Several of them are my apprentices, and they follow me to practice martial arts." The things I learned were a bit miscellaneous, and I couldn't be considered proficient in them. ”

"It turns out that Master Zhao is indeed Master Zhao!" Boss Yan heard that Zhao Zhou didn't say any kung fu, so he didn't ask more, but joked, took out a pack of thousands of good cigarettes from his pocket, and scattered it for Zhao Zhou, Zhou Xiao and others.

Because he knew Zhao Zhou, he didn't expect any martial arts, but felt that Zhao Zhou had strong financial resources, and then he thought about whether he could cooperate in any business in the future.

"Master Zhao." The old man also hugged his fists with Zhou Xiao and the others in return, although he didn't say anything, but he didn't practice martial arts as before.

This is also the first time friends have met, plus Zhou Xiao and others are all practitioners of 'tiger back and bear waist', no matter which sect they practice, they are all martial artists after all, and he is now pondering martial arts by himself, which is a bit rude.

And then.

The crowd didn't stand outside and gossip.

Zhao Zhou led everyone, and in the guidance of Boss Yan's virtual hand, followed him into the luxuriously decorated hotel, and then came to the elevator at the corner, and went straight to the twentieth floor.

And in the elevator, Boss Yan also introduced his own hotel.

But to put it simply, this hotel covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters, and the first floor is a place for guests to chat and wait for people.

The second to nineteenth floors contain accommodation, dining, entertainment, and so on.

The 20th floor is a 'large luxury private room' for shareholders to entertain guests.

The 21st floor is the company's conference lobby and various offices.

Especially with the sound of 'ding dong', when Zhao Zhou came to the twentieth floor and saw two security guards standing at the door, it was known that there was no shareholder invitation, and the nineteenth floor and above were not open.

And since these 20 floors are a place for shareholders to entertain distinguished guests, it can also be seen that this floor is far more 'luxurious' than the downstairs.

Zhao Zhou walked in this marble aisle, and also heard Boss Yan say that the floor area of more than 10,000 square meters here is roughly divided into five areas.

Each piece is divided into 2,000 square meters, which is equipped with ten guest rooms, as well as reception halls, indoor swimming pools, small KTV and other facilities.

They are said to be 'extra-large luxury rooms', but in fact they are almost becoming 'private' entertainment clubs.

"Master Zhao, please."

After Boss Yan explained the general layout, he also took Zhao Zhou and the others through a few marble aisles and came to a study room with more than 100 square meters.

Zhao Zhou took a look and saw that in addition to a sofa and a coffee table, there were many antiques, famous paintings, books and so on.

And this is also the place where Boss Yan specially entertains guests, which can be regarded as 'Boss Yan's private collection room'.

Similarly, these antiques and other valuable objects are also Boss Yan's hobbies, and he has nothing to collect and play.

Of course, not all of these antiques are genuine.

Because Zhao Zhou looked over and found that eight of the ten were fake, or that Boss Yan was 'out of sight'.

However, for Boss Yan, who spends 50 million yuan on playing games, what he likes is the object, which is the same, but not the authenticity of the antique era.

"Boss Yan is so interested." Zhao Zhou took a look at the nearby antiques and sat on the sofa at the invitation of Boss Yan. The disciples stood behind the sofa and did not say a word.

Because they were really excited after seeing such a luxurious scene just now, but they were afraid of losing face to their own owner, so they simply stopped talking.

"This antique is a university question."

When Boss Yan heard Zhao Zhou say that he was collecting antiques, he was like an 'old connoisseur', and said with a smile: "I have been studying these antiques for several years, and there are many ways to do it." But if Master Zhao wants to learn, we are all friends, and I won't hide my secrets, I will definitely say something! ”

Boss Yan said, patted the old man next to him again, and motioned him to go to the special kitchen of the board of directors and let the chefs start cooking.

This is also because Boss Yan didn't know where Zhao Zhou came from, and in order to keep the dishes fresh, he didn't let the chef do it immediately, but he was also on call at any time, and the dishes were washed and soaked in clean water.

And Zhao Zhou heard that Boss Yan wanted to teach him antique appraisal, but he didn't answer, but asked about the business, "The party that Boss Yan said is a 'cultivator's auction'." ”

The 'Cultivator Auction' is a large-scale auction held every three or five years in Binh Province for 'calligraphy and paintings, antiques, strange medicines' and other miscellaneous items.

But because it contained items that cultivators needed, it was also called a 'cultivator auction'.

But Zhao Zhou can know this, and he also saw the relevant words in the chat message in Dr. Sun's group today, and he also received a call from Xicheng Wang Xiangtian this morning.

However, it doesn't matter if it's a phone call or a chat group.

Dr. Sun and Wang Xiangtian both said that on May 5th, they would come to Haiyan Hotel together to participate in this auction and see if there were any interesting objects.

Similarly, Zhao Zhou also heard the news, and learned that Boss Yan was the shareholder of Haiyan Hotel tonight, so he felt that this matter was definitely related.

"Tomorrow's auction will be held in the 21st floor of the Great Hall, where our hotel usually holds meetings. Our hotel is also the organizer of this auction. ”

Boss Yan heard that Zhao Zhou knew about this, but he was not curious.

Because according to Zhao Zhou's spending method, this status has arrived, although he does not know so much in advance as a 'proprietor', he will definitely know some news more or less.

"Master Zhao will stay here at night, and tomorrow I will take the big guy around to play. When the auction is over in the evening, are we looking for something interesting? Boss Yan also made his words clear, and when he said this, he laughed to himself, giving a look that a man understands.

But when Zhao Zhou heard that, in addition to being sure that there would be an auction tomorrow, he knocked on the table and vetoed his proposal, "Boss Yan, my apprentices are still young and timid, don't teach them badly." ”

"If you're timid, you should practice!" Da Desert Lonely Yan waved his hand arrogantly, signaling that your master would not take you to play, but my old Yan understands the righteousness and will definitely let the young men have fun and linger.

"What Boss Yan just said about the antiques, what is the way, let's hear it." When Zhao Zhou heard this, he changed the topic and got up to look at the antiques.

But.

Zhao Zhou also walked to the bookshelf over there, but on a low shelf, he saw a palm-sized patina toad.

And after Zhao Zhou saw the two blackened 'eyeballs' at the position of the toad's eyes, he couldn't help but notice that they were a little 'weird and bright'.

So, Zhao Zhou was curious and touched it closely, and found that this was not a decorative bead, but two different 'Eight Relics!' ’

It's just that the 'popularity' in the hotel is too strong, which causes this evil qi to not gather, and it seems that these two beads are not strange except for brightness.

If it weren't for Zhao Zhou reading a lot of secret books, reaching out and touching them again, and also took out the hand beads and got close, and found that the two were a little faintly attracted, he wouldn't have recognized them.

Boss Yan didn't bother this time. ’

Zhao Zhou thought for a few breaths, but said to Boss Yan, who was introducing other antiques to his apprentice, "Boss Yan, where did you find these two beads?"

Zhao Zhou didn't want to win people's love, so if he could change it, he would change it, but if it didn't work, just see where Boss Yan found it, or give him the only 'anti-sealing necklace' in his whole suit.

"Beads?"

It's just that Boss Yan glanced at his toad, but directly waved his hand and said: "This toad is half sold and half given to me by a Taoist priest, if Master Zhao likes it, it should be a meeting gift."

'Old Taoist. When Zhao Zhou heard this, he didn't reply, but looked around, and found that if there were no two 'genuine bronze tripods' on the bookshelf, and the hotel was 'popular', he would not be able to suppress the relics.

Similarly, if this evil qi can't be suppressed, with the physique of an ordinary person of Boss Yan, I am afraid that he will have been 'frozen' by this evil qi a long time ago!

No matter what the purpose of the Taoist priest is, this mind is quite vicious. Zhao Zhou touched the two 'eyeballs' on the toad, "If Boss Yan is left at home, it is estimated that the whole family will be killed by anger." ’

Zhao Zhou thought for a few breaths, and then asked Boss Yan, "I don't know if Boss Yan still has the contact information of that chief."

Zhao Zhou felt that Boss Yan was a good person, and thought that he could find the Taoist chief, so he helped him settle the matter.

This is also taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others.

"I don't remember this.."

It's just that Boss Yan still had something to do that night, but he didn't remember the contact information of the chief.

However, he thought that Zhao Zhou also liked antiques, and then recalled, thought about it and said, "I feel that the Taoist master should come to the auction tomorrow." Because this toad was the one he came to me after he participated in the auction five years ago, saying that I had a relationship with their Taoist temple, and he insisted on giving it to me at a low price and half of it. ”

Boss Yan said and smiled, "If I see that Taoist Master tomorrow, if Master Zhao has any favorite objects, I will talk to him, maybe Master Zhao is also destined for him, and he will also send one." ”

"Then tomorrow is to see each other and see if there is a fate." Zhao Zhou held the palm-sized copper toad, wiped his fingers, and buckled off its eyeballs.
