Volume 1 Accession to the WTO Chapter 17 The Brilliant Stone
Lin Hao looked up and saw a tall woman standing in the aisle in front of him, wearing a pink tight-fitting cheongsam, the cheongsam was embroidered with early blooming peach blossoms, her eyes were like flower buds, her face was delicate, her skin was like congealed cream, her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her long black hair was tied behind her head, she was standing on her wrong legs, and she looked at the two of her with a smile. An almost evil charm came out of the body, attracting the eyes of everyone around him tightly, even if Lin Hao's concentration was far beyond ordinary people, he couldn't help but feel a flutter the moment he saw the woman.
When He Guofu saw the woman, his expression changed suddenly, he held his head high, hurriedly straightened out his clothes, walked quickly to the woman, and asked in an almost flattering tone: "I haven't seen you for many days, Miss Xing has always been good?"
The woman brushed her face with her hand, the corners of her mouth opened slightly, and she let out a burst of laughter like a silver bell, and said: "Hehehe, I am a little woman, alone in this wild place, all under the care of the city lord, and I am doing well!"
"This handsome young man beside the city lord looks at Miansheng, he doesn't look like a Qingyang person, and he doesn't know his name?" the woman turned her gaze to Lin Hao and asked.
He Guofu then remembered that there was still Lin Hao by his side, turned around and held Lin Hao's shoulder, and said in a mysterious way: "Miss Xing, this young man is not small! Miss might as well guess his identity!"
The woman held her cheek with one hand, her eyes wandered back and forth on Lin Hao, and after looking at it for a while, she said: "I have been in this Qingyang City for several years, and I still have a little impression of the people in the city who can be named. The day before yesterday, there was a rebellion outside the city, and the city lord of the seven cities of the Kamikaze Kingdom personally led the guards to Qingyang to quell the chaos, I think this little boy must be the descendant of one of the city lords!"
"Miss Xing has good eyesight, this young man is the disciple of Chu Tianlan, the lord of Wuyang City!" He Guofu praised the woman a few words, and then said to Lin Hao: "Lin Shifu, this is the head of the Qingyang City Galaxy Chamber of Commerce, and also the number one beauty in our Divine Wind Country, Miss Xingyu! If you want to find something for your master, you can tell her, as long as it is available in Qingyang City, Miss Xing can help you find it!"
"Wuyang Lin Hao, I've seen the star master!"
Lin Hao took advantage of the gift to quietly reveal a spiritual power out of his body and injected it into Xingyu's body through the air.
Xingyu was unconscious, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a disciple of the Three Emperors of the Kamikaze, no wonder I can be accompanied by the city lord in person! I don't know what your master wants, the prince might as well make it clear, as long as this Xinghe Chamber of Commerce has it, the little woman will immediately offer it with both hands!"
Lin Hao smiled slightly, and politely refused: "I have thanked the master for the good intentions of the master of Xingda." What the master was looking for was really just a few ordinary magic crystals, which could be bought everywhere. I used his reputation as an old man, but in fact, I stayed in the City Lord's Mansion for a few days, and I was so uncomfortable that I just came out to breathe!"
Xingyu saw Lin Hao's calm expression, and he was surprised in his heart how his flattery would be ineffective for him. On the surface, he pretended to be indifferent and smiled: "Since it is inconvenient for Lin Gongzi to say, the little woman will not ask anymore, but if there is really any need, please Lin Gongzi must tell him bluntly! The prestige of the city lord of Chu is far and wide, and the little woman has admired his old man for a long time, and she can serve him, but I dream of it!"
"Thank you so much!" Lin Hao replied with a bow.
"The auction is about to start, the little girl still has some things to deal with, so she will be out of company, all the consumption of the two of you in the Chamber of Commerce today is counted as my Galaxy Chamber of Commerce, have fun!"
After the star finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the chamber of commerce, and before leaving, he didn't forget to secretly throw a coquettish goodbye to Lin Hao with the power of a charming voice.
Lin Hao looked at Xingyu's graceful back, and smiled evilly at He Guofu: "I can understand why City Lord He has become a frequent visitor to this Galaxy Chamber of Commerce!"
He Guofu's old face was flushed with shame by Lin Hao, and it was inconvenient to admit it because of his face, so he asked knowingly: "What do you understand?" The Galaxy Chamber of Commerce is strong, and everything that a monk needs can be found here, I am all for cultivation, don't think about it, you kid!"
Lin Hao looked at He Guofu's annoyed and angry appearance, shook his head incessantly, and secretly laughed at the old pervert who was still shy!
"Don't talk about it, the auction is about to start, let's go in! This cooperation between the three chambers of commerce will definitely have a treasure in the world, don't miss it!"
Although He Guofu is modest, he is the lord of a city after all, and he is also an elder in front of Lin Hao. was ridiculed by him, and his old face was a little unbearable, so he hurriedly changed the topic and pulled Lin Hao upstairs.
The auction was held in the auction hall on the third floor of the Chamber of Commerce, and He Guofu, as a "regular customer", had his own exclusive private room.
Lin Hao walked into the beautifully decorated private room, looked at the noisy crowd in the auction hall below, and asked He Guofu: "City Lord He, according to your words, it is still a rare thing for these three major chambers of commerce to jointly hold an auction?"
"That's natural, the three major chambers of commerce are operating separately, and they are competing with each other, and neither of them wants to squeeze out the other and leave only their own family. If it weren't for the benefits that his family couldn't swallow, how could he be willing to cooperate with his opponent?" He Guofu replied as he swept through the crowd with his eyes.
"In this case, the three major chambers of commerce must have extraordinary treasures in their hands this time, why don't they let out the news before the auction, so that they can attract more financiers to come and maximize their vested interests?" Lin Hao wondered.
He Guofu turned his head to look at Lin Hao, and asked rhetorically: "I can't see that your kid still has some business minds, but how do you know that people haven't released a rumor?"
Lin Hao was dumbfounded, and thought: "Yes, I have been staying in the City Lord's Mansion, and I have never come out at all, even if the three major chambers of commerce let out the news, I don't know!"
"Let me tell you, this auction prepared by the three major chambers of commerce was already set before the battle of Qingyang, if it wasn't for the forced postponement due to the chaos of the beasts, I'm afraid that your kid wouldn't have had a chance to see this grand event!"
He Guofu pointed out the window and said, "Do you know who are in those boxes?"
Lin Hao shook his head and asked, "You know?"
He Guofu snorted and said, "How do I know!"
"However, although I don't know the true identities of those people, I know that every box is filled with gods and winds, and even the masters of other empires may not be able to!" He Guofu said without waiting for Lin Hao to make a sarcastic remark.
Although the seven empires are all under the jurisdiction of Sacred Heart City on the surface, they are actually fighting for each other, and most of the countries are fighting each other, although they have not reached the point of going to war, but they are not fighting in private, how could the monks of other countries venture to Qingyang, which is located on the border of the kamikaze, to participate in this auction?" Lin Hao asked in surprise.
"You don't know this, although the seven great powers are fighting each other, but they are all between the royal families, the sect monks of various countries and those idle adventurers have never stopped coming and going, and the royal families of various countries are also well aware of this, the reason why they did not come forward to stop it is actually because the seven empires have their own unique resources, if these trades are completely cut off, it will undoubtedly put themselves in a desperate situation!" He Guofu explained to Lin Hao in detail.
"I see!" Lin Hao suddenly realized.
"There is even more exciting news, as far as I know, in this auction, the royal families of the neighboring Xuanhuo Kingdom and the Ruijin Kingdom have sent special people to come, in order to compete for the finale of this auction! It's a pity that this beast rebellion has involved too much energy from the kamikaze, and I am afraid that this treasure will be lost to a foreign country!" He Guofu sighed.
"Since it is a treasure, why doesn't the city lord take it down himself, so that the treasure won't fall into a foreign country?" Lin Hao quipped.
He Guofu glanced at Lin Hao, pointed to his nose, and said, "I, Lin Shinephew, do you think I am a local tyrant? You can't help but think too highly of me, right?"
"What are you afraid of, didn't Miss Xingyu just say that all our consumption in the business house today is counted as the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce? You don't have any money, don't they have any money?" Lin Hao said disapprovingly.
He Guofu shook his head and said, "People are just talking, you are still serious, do you really think that the money of the Galaxy Chamber of Commerce is blown by the wind?" Besides, even if she is really willing to pay for you, you have to have the ability to bring that treasure home!"
Lin Hao looked at He Guofu's mocking eyes, smiled slightly, no longer argued with him, and asked instead: "After talking for a long time, what is that treasure?"
He Guofu looked left and right like a thief, put his mouth to Lin Hao's ear, and whispered, "Huang Shantideva Heavenly Stone!"
"What?!Shantideva !!"
Even though Lin Hao was accustomed to seeing rare treasures, he couldn't help but exclaim after hearing He Guofu's words.
"Shh......h
He Guofu was shocked, hurriedly pulled Lin Hao to sit down, made a silent gesture, then got up and walked to the door, looked at the porch, and saw that there was no one around, so he put his mind down and sat back next to Lin Hao.
"Do you want to die, so loudly, are you afraid that others won't hear you?" He Guofu reproached.
Lin Hao ignored He Guofu's reproach, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself: "I didn't expect that in the small Qingyang City, there would be such an anti-heaven thing as the Huang Shantian Stone, it was really nowhere to find it when I stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it!"
"What are you talking about?" the panicked He Guofu didn't hear Lin Hao's words clearly, and asked.
"Huh...... It's nothing, it's just that I was frightened when I suddenly heard the name of the Shan Yuan Stone!" Lin Hao shook his head and smiled.
"Alas, such a treasure is only known to me, and I have never seen it in kind. It's all to blame for this damn beast chaos, if it weren't for the loss of this battle, how could the lord of the country be willing to let it flow into a foreign country, and even go to Qingyang, and return to the imperial capital without even looking at it!" He Guofu slapped the chair beside him unwillingly and said indignantly.
Lin Hao looked at He Guofu beating his chest, and thought with a secret smile: "The big drama of beast chaos, as far as the kamikaze is concerned, where can we talk about loss, the reason why your lord of the country ignores this thing is that he has more important things to do!"
"However, the old man disdains to practice with the help of external forces, otherwise, with the power of Wuyang City and the city lord of He, he can compete with the people outside!" Lin Hao comforted the unwilling He Guofu.
"Isn't what you said the same as not saying it?If I can persuade Brother Chu, how can I be here alone!" He Guofu glanced at Lin Hao.
Lin Hao smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but saw that the magic lights on the top of the auction house hall suddenly went out, and the hall fell into darkness.
As two bright white lights shot from both corners of the hall to the booth, the noisy voices in the hall came to an abrupt halt, and everyone knew that the auction was about to begin.
I saw Xingyu slowly walk out from behind the curtain, and under the illumination of the light, her already bright skin became even more radiant, like a fairy in the heavenly palace, exuding a holy light around her body, even Lin Hao was stupid!
