Chapter 930: Scholar in the Green Robe
"The owner, we are like this-" Seeing that the monks of the Tian, Gu, and Huang families were gone, Xiao Chen looked at Qian Chong with some worry, feeling that he had betrayed Zhang Weidong and the others, which was too much.
After all, Zhang Weidong didn't treat him badly, and he also rewarded two low-grade spars, and they were also guests of the Qianxing chief manager of the Thousand Islands. If you ask about this, how should you explain it?
Qian Chong had a bitter face, and he was also uneasy in his heart, and said: "Xiao Chen, as the saying goes, a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake on the ground, not to mention that we are not even a little snake, if we don't cooperate with the three families, will we still have a comfortable life in the future?"
Qian Chong was resentful in his heart, he was exiled here by his family for decades, and he finally settled down, and now there is a guest who is in charge of the house, but he offended the three big families and implicated him.
This time, even the Lord of Huangcheng appeared, and the Tian and Gu families also produced Jindan monks, obviously this matter is not trivial, and he has no confidence in whether he can keep a comfortable life in the future.
"Okay, let's go back!" Qian Chong was excited, waved at Xiao Chen, turned around and left.
Xiao Chen looked at the figure of the owner worriedly, sighed, and went home.
This matter is too big, he, including the owner, is a small person, and he can't intervene at all.
On the other side, the three families ran away, and everyone was in a bad mood, but they didn't stay long and left one after another. However, these people are cunning people, and they have already secretly laid out inconspicuous chess pieces. At least for a period of time in the future, Xiao Chen, Qian Chong and others are the targets of key surveillance.
Leaving here, Tianxiang, Huang Chen, and Gu Yun glanced at each other. The secret competition continued, and they separated in a moment. Each has its own family, each with its own different minds. However, compared to the Huang family. Although the Tian and Gu families are also competitors, they are both wary of the Huang family. Because the Huang family has risen too fast, the ancestor of the Huang family is now the number one master of Tiangu City.
As the city lord, Huang Chen and the important personnel of the Huang family lived in it, and took some people back to the city lord's mansion, and when they were about to arrive at the city lord's mansion, Huang Chen suddenly stopped.
"What kind of person is sneaky, get out of here for this city lord!" Huang Chen swept his left side and snorted coldly.
One of his subordinates, the Great Perfection Cultivator, sneered and dismounted. After a few breaths, a man was caught from the corner of the street, a tall and strong foundation-building monk.
They had already discovered that someone was following them, and it was only when they got here that they revealed it.
"The lord of the city is slow, and the small one has something important to report!" shouted the arrested man.
"Hey, Li Xing, is that you?" someone in the team recognized the person who was captured.
When the captured tall monk heard this, he saw that there was a young man in the team close to the Yellow City Lord. was looking at him suspiciously.
"Qi Shao, it's me, Li Xing! I have something important to report!" Li Xing was overjoyed and shouted loudly.
The Huang City Lord looked at his nephew, Huang Qi. "Do you know this man?"
Huang Qi nodded and said stubbornly: "Third uncle, I have met this person a few times." Not very familiar!"
"Well, take this person back home!"
On the road. Huang Qi found an opportunity and personally took Li Xing to the side hall to wait. See the lord of the city in a moment.
"Brother Li, what's going on?" asked Huang Qi Chuanyin.
"Thisβ" Li Xing hesitated, his eyes flickering.
Telling the Yellow City Lord about what was in his heart was not the same as telling the others. He came for the great good.
"Hmph, the city lord is my third uncle, what else can I hide from me?"
Li Xing immediately smiled and said: "Qi Shao, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that the stakes are very high, in case the city lord investigates it, I can't afford it, so-"
"Hmph!" Huang Qi snorted coldly and led the way.
It is conceivable that Li Xing has offended Huang Qi now, and he will not be able to say that trouble will come to the door in the future.
Li Xing was a little frightened, although he was a monk on the fifth floor of the foundation, and Huang Qi was only a monk on the first floor of the foundation, but he was from the Huang family of Tiangu City, although he was from a side lineage, he was deeply loved by the city lord of Huangchen.
Look at the twenty or thirty foundation building monks who returned with the Yellow City Lord just now, all of them are above the sixth layer of foundation building, and they have experienced a hundred battles, and they can easily destroy him by calling out one person at will.
Seeing that he was about to reach the side hall, Li Xing gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Shao stays, I'll tell you, but this matter is very important, and I also ask Qi Shao to say a few kind words in front of the city lordββ"
"Oh, you say, as long as you make a contribution, I will naturally not treat you badly!" Huang Qi stopped, his face was much better, and he said with a straight face.
"That's-"
"What, are you sure?!"
"Qi Shao, it's all at this juncture, how dare I deceive you and the city lord?"
"Come on, please sit in the side hall!"
The two had a secret chat about something, and Huang Qi couldn't wait to go to find the Yellow City Lord. And Li Xing was taken to the side hall by the subordinates of the City Lord's Mansion to wait.
In another hour, there were three more portraits in the hands of the city lord Huang Chen, which were portraits of a man and two women, and three young people. These three newly released portraits are juxtaposed with a portrait of an old man who looks like a child and a little blue bird. And all of this is related to the information provided by Li Xing, and Huang Qi is involved in it.
"Okay, it turns out that these three young people and the old man haven't left Tiangu City yet, and went to the monks' union to entrust the task, hmph, it's not a small amount of courage, this time look where you are fleeing!" Huang Chen threw the portrait aside and sneered.
"Third uncle, this Li Xing is also worried about these people, with ill intentions, he followed all the way by mistake, and unexpectedly saw the figure of the three people leaving, and since they went to the monks' union to entrust the task, there is an agreement for a month, then they will definitely show up, we just have to wait!" Huang Qi on the side suggested.
"No, the ancestor has already instructed to get that gem in his hands at all costs, and he can't drag it out! Of course, the person who does things for my Huang family, my Huang family will not treat him badly, so let's reward him with a Jiuyang Pill! By the way, and that painter, they all show me that the period of one month is not over, and I am not allowed to leave here for a single step, nor can I contact the outside world!" Huang City Lord made a decisive decision.
"Third uncle, what kind of gem is thatβ"
"That's not what you're supposed to ask. Once the ancestor gets that gem, the day of my Huang family's prosperity is coming!"
"Yes!"
However, although the core personnel of the Huang family learned that Zhang Weidong and his party had not left Tiangu City, they immediately operated secretly and searched for their whereabouts. But the three families of Tian, Gu and Huang have developed here for hundreds of years, and you have already had me, and I have you.
Once a secret is told, it is no longer a secret.
Just when the Huang family secretly inspected the inns, the high-level leaders of the Tian and Gu families immediately gathered the core personnel and urgently arranged the tasks. They also knew that Zhang Weidong and his party had not left Tiangu City. Someone even went to the monks' union to inquire, and obviously, the Huang family leaked secrets.
But alas, the monks' union was independent of them, and nothing was found.
The three families did not dare to act excessively, otherwise they would attract the attention of the monks' union, and they would have to compete with a strong enemy. At present, the news blockade to the outside world is still going well.
ββ
At the gate of the Ancient Wanbao Garden, the monks were bustling.
At this time, a young couple got out of the carriage, the man was heroic, and the woman was delicate and charming. The cultivation aura of the two is not high, the male has nine layers of Qi training, and the female has five layers of Qi training, which is very inconspicuous.
"Brother Lin, is this the largest gambling stone garden in Tiangu City?" the woman asked while holding the man's arm and looking curiously.
Brother Lin puffed up his chest and nodded, "Sister Xue, of course." The three surnames of Tiangu City, Gu is one of them, and the Ancient Wanbao Garden was opened by the Gu family, and it is one of the three largest families in the city!"
"Can you really solve the treasure in the ancient stone that day, will it be very expensive? Otherwise, we won't go in?" Xue Mei hesitated.
Brother Lin pulled the snow girl, strode into the crowd, and said: "Since they are all here, naturally they have to gamble a few handfuls, maybe luck comes, and a peach is solved in it?"
"Cut!"
"Silly two!"
"Pan Tao, this person is crazy, right? After a while, I will see that he has broken down, and see how he still has Pan Tao, Ha Lu Ha!"
"It's a pair of chicks!"
ββββ
This conversation between the young couple was heard by many people. Most of them scoffed, though. Once upon a time, they also came with a fiery heart like this couple, but they lost and went bankrupt. Later, I realized that this gambling stone is not something that ordinary people can play.
Even if someone is lucky enough to solve the treasure and turn over once, it is a very small minority. Here, you can't play without a monk who is rich.
People with a lot of money don't have to worry about losing eight times out of ten, but most of the people who gamble with their entire wealth will lose to the end and can't turn over.
However, the little couple turned a deaf ear to the ridicule on the side, and stopped from time to time with great interest, asking about the Tiangu stones on the stage on both sides, but they felt that the price was too high, so they only looked at it and didn't buy it.
In fact, this young couple was pretended by Zhao Lin and Wuxue.
And Zhang Weidong is not far away, walking inward unhurriedly, he is dressed as an elegant young scholar, with an average appearance, holding a folding fan in his hand, wearing a green crown scarf, wearing a blue scholar's robe, a bit of a taste of the power of the chicken.
However, his eight-layer cultivation aura made many people walk by cautiously, not daring to approach or talk indiscriminately.
As soon as you enter the entrance of the ancient Wanbao Garden, you will see that the area inside is vast, and the stalls that set up platforms everywhere are dotted among them, among which there are those opened by the ancient family themselves, and there are also those rented by outsiders, and there are hundreds of such stalls alone. On each platform, there are dozens of Tiangu stones.
Of course, there are also some scattered stalls located in them, and three or five Tiangu stones of different sizes are put out, and they are also joining in the fun. For this kind of stall, you only need to pay the day's fee to the garden.
Zhang Weidong did not look from the door like a newcomer, but walked to a platform, and then carefully looked at the Tiangu Stone. (To be continued......)
