Chapter 261: The Third Auction
PS: I'm tired to death from work, and I don't have much time to write novels, which is coded out while I'm free at work. Phew, I'm going to collapse, I'm going to take a break first, there's no second chapter today, tomorrow it depends.
Cleanse overnight!
Chu Kun stayed by the bluestone in the courtyard all night, and as for what the reason was, even he didn't know.
I didn't feel surprised or happy, and I didn't think about anything strange or tangled, but just like this, facing the swaying bamboo forest, I stood quietly next to the bluestone all night.
The next day was the last auction of the Sycamore Auction House, and it was also the most important auction, and compared to the previous two auctions, this last one was undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
When the sky was just slightly bright, Chu Kun, who was standing next to the bluestone and watching the bamboo forest all night, finally came back to his senses.
The dew in the night was extremely heavy, the clothes on Chu Kun's body were completely wet, the dew on his hair condensed into beads, and the water droplets slid down his forehead, blocked by his eyelashes, causing a blur in front of his eyes.
He looked up at the horizon, and the dew in his hair was dripping to the ground like rain with his movements. The fog in the air was much heavier than usual, and it was white, except for a rough outline, and it was impossible to see the scene in the distance.
On the third floor of the small building, a window opened, and a white shadow appeared next to the window. Her eyes were as warm as water, and the cool morning breeze blew her long and smooth hair, looking at Chu Kun who stood like a sculpture in the courtyard, the look in her eyes couldn't help but gradually soften.
Chu Kun seemed to feel something, and turned his head to look over, but what he saw was only a closed window.
He smiled, but his otherwise plain mood suddenly improved a lot.
"Brother Chu! It's time for breakfast...... "The sun has completely risen, and it is almost time for the auction to start, Li Ran opened a window on the second floor of the small building and shouted at Chu Kun.
At the dinner table, Li Yan's face was ordinary. As usual, he was always smiling and groaning, and he couldn't see anything wrong at all.
"Brother Chu." Li Yan put the rice in front of Chu Kun, her voice was soft, and her eyes were soft and weak, including Li Ran, except that she was more intimate than usual in her behavior, it was normal to be a little more qiē......
After the meal, there were still about two quarters of an hour before the auction began, and the guards had already come to report.
When they arrived at the auction house, Tang Lie and Zhang Ping had already arrived early. Because today's auction may change dramatically. So as early as beforehand, he had instructed Tang Lie, Ji Jing, and Hua Ying.
Zhang Ping only joined Wutong City yesterday, but he was also brought over by Tang Lie.
In a slightly larger parlor of the auction house, Chu Kun, Yanran, Tang Lie, Ji Jing and Zhang Ping were all here. Hua Ying didn't come over, Chu Kun let her sit in the city lord's mansion, in Wutong City, when Chu Kun was not there, only Hua Ying had enough ability to manage the entire Wutong City.
Tang Lie, Ji Jing, and Hua Ying. Hua Ying's position is equivalent to the deputy city lord, managing all the internal affairs of Wutong City; Tang Lie's own strength is not strong, but in terms of army training and training, most people in the city are not comparable. It's a general.
And Ji Jing is equivalent to the identity of the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, and all matters in the City Lord's Mansion, big and small, can be solved in an orderly manner. The division of labor between the three of them. It was just right to be able to run Wutong City completely, and it was also the biggest reason why Chu Kun could have enough time now.
When Chu Kun saw a few people, he didn't have any extra words. He directly commanded: "Tang Lie, wait a minute, you will lead people to patrol the city, pay attention to the direction of the City Lord's Mansion and the shops in the city, and let the mercenaries with the knife marks cooperate." It's good to leave a ten-person team here, and Zhang Ping will also stay. ”
Chu Kun was worried that there would be professionals in the city, and once this happened, the number would not be too small, and with Tang Lie's ability, the guards he brought with him would also be stronger.
"Li Yan and Li Ran, you and Ji Jing are together, don't walk around." Although Wu Rongying is the owner of the auction house, it is obviously just out of interest in the auction house, and it is obviously unrealistic for her to show up to manage the auction house.
Even in the original time, most of the things about the auction house were Tsing Yi conveying the orders of the dancing shadow. After signing the contract with Chu Kun, the first auction held, Wu Lianying's interest increased greatly, and he personally presided over it, but it was only that time.
Let Yanran and the two girls follow Ji Jing's side, also to prevent a professional from directly attacking her, although the probability is not large, but it is also just in case. After all, although Ji Jing is capable, her own strength is not even at the professional level.
The two girls did not reach the awakening level, but if the two women were together, even if it was an ordinary awakening level, they could resist a little for a while.
Several people had no objections, and nodded separately and responded.
It's just that at this time, Ji Jing was a little unwilling to say to Chu Kun: "Hey, Lord City Lord, do you mean that I am useless when you arrange it like this." ”
"Are you useful?" Chu Kun asked rhetorically, looking serious.
Ji Jing was choked, opened her mouth but didn't say anything, stomped her feet and snorted coldly, and left the living room angrily.
Watching Ji Jing leave, Chu Kun smiled. At the beginning, he thought that Ji Jing's temperament would be a little deficient. didn't expect that in this kind of small detail, Ji Jing grasped it very well, and with a harmless joke, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly dispersed.
Even Tang Lie's expression was always like a wood, and the look in his eyes was a little relaxed.
Yanran and the two daughters followed Ji Jing's side, and after Tang Lie said something, he also went to arrange the guards.
Chu Kun looked at the remaining Zhang Ping and said, "You can also go over, and you will take the team left by Tang Lie and be responsible for the safety of the auction." ”
Although Chu Kun knew the truth that employing people should not be suspicious, but he really couldn't do this, or the experience of his previous life, which made it extremely difficult for him to trust others.
Even the two daughters of Yanran gradually changed their minds after such a long time, and even had bad thoughts in the middle.
Let Zhang Ping stay in the auction house, if he has any problems himself, Chu Kun can also take action to suppress it immediately. With Zhang Ping's state of weakness after awakening, he could definitely kill him with Chu Kun's instantaneous explosive power. And if there are no two hearts, then it is naturally the best.
Even Zhang Ping's Phantom Step Secret Technique is not just as simple as missing the Mystery Rank part.
In the end, Chu Kun himself was left, looked left and right, and went directly to sit in the box first. If anyone wants to cause trouble, it will be in this third auction, and it will not be as simple as yesterday's first auction.
The ten-man squad left behind is nothing more than a symbolic existence to maintain order, and his own deterrent power is the most important place. (To be continued......)
