Chapter 3 Worship in the Mansion of the Mansion
In the northern land of Middle-earth, in Dingzhou, which occupies the core position of the empire's manufacturing industry, the chill brought by the northern border fortress has swept in. This megacity located on the Dinghe Plain is crossed by the Lihe River and the Yunjiang River, which are intertwined with each other, the rivers with complex water veins provide fertile land, and the prosperous vast plain provides excellent pastures for animal husbandry, and the bulk of military and civilian animal power trade, the border plug fur business, the mineral resources trade, the large equipment trade, and the logistics industry of bulk goods that arises through water transportation make this area full of commerce. The prosperity of commerce has created Dingzhou's extensive transportation, wide galloping roads, and caravans from all over the world. Around the perimeter of the city, an army of 1,000 men patrolled around the city, and the troops at the city gate pass were in full swing to check the credentials of people coming and going.
Dingzhou City is the street today, the royal road water purification splashes the street, the spices are sprinkled all over the city, the annual northern business awards are held as scheduled, during the event, all parties gather in the city, Dingzhou eight doors are fully open, the flow of people is staggered, and the voices of people are boiling. Exotic beasts, antique treasures, gorgeous costumes, and exquisite and strange goods from all over the country fill the commercial street, making people dizzy. Standing at the east gate of Dingzhou City, Ling Xiaoyu was also attracted by the prosperous scene in front of him, the pace of entering the city slowed down a lot, everyone in the city was gorgeously dressed, and the fierce face competition reflected everyone's complex mentality.
Xiao Yu is wearing a purple and gold fur today, wearing a hibiscus veil scarf, and a red satin pattern silk robe outlines a seductive curve, and the fragrance is full of fragrance in the crowd. "Hey, I just shouldn't wear my normal clothes!" Xiao Yu felt a trace of chagrin in his heart, and felt a trace of regret for being careless. The mysterious temperament brought by the disguised face, the beautiful figure and the just right outfit are really attractive. Ling Xiaoyu hated the feeling of being watched, and couldn't help but feel a little irritable in his heart, at this moment, a pair of big hands slapped on his shoulders, and at the same time a familiar and annoying voice came, "What do you see, look at you all and ugly, haven't you seen the girl of my family?"
I saw Wang Junqi dipped in a long beard, dressed as a local tyrant butler, shouting at the onlookers around him, watching him squeeze his eyebrows at himself, Xiaoyu's heart moved, and her heart of banter surged, I saw her grabbing Wang Junqi's ear with one hand, raising her eyebrows and shouting: "You bastard, you said that the first time you came to Dingzhou to do business, you have to step on the plate first, I asked you to come three days in advance, and today you dare not go out of the city gate to pick up this girl, saying! Where have you been in the past two days?" I don't care if you look for flowers and ask Liu Xiao to be happy, but delay the business of my Duan family, do you take responsibility? It is still very convenient for this girl to change to a housekeeper!!" After that, he stopped his waist and fell, put down Wang Junqi and sat on his body and hammered a few punches, everyone saw that he was rude, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore for a while, and then she pulled Wang Junqi to walk towards the street, and in the depths of the remote alley, Wang Junqi tidied up his clothes and walked beside Xiaoyu, "Wing Lord, are you really here? These hammers hurt so much." Watching him grin and complain, Xiaoyu smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It's just looking for someone to vent, you know I hate being stared at, being watched like an animal." If I don't beat you, these people will be even more unscrupulous in their exploration, after all, now that the major businessmen and powerful people are gathered, you don't know where you come from, you can't keep me, a delicate young lady! But if they find out that I am a brutal tiger, they still have to weigh whether they can control it. ": Haha, you are really naughty, indeed, my identity is not used in Dingzhou during this period, but it is easy to become a burden. Xiao Yu glanced at him angrily, and said in a low voice: "Seriously, how is the whereabouts of the Xuanji buckle?" Wang Junqi frowned and said with an embarrassed face: "One hundred taels of gold at the Fuqin Festival did redeem a box, but the box switch is equipped with a vibrating sheet, which should be a password secret letter, if you don't get the correct lip dictionary and force open this box, the strong acid hidden in the lid of the box will be sprayed into the box, resulting in the destruction of internal documents. ”
Xiaoyu looked normal, as if everything was expected": Zhou Zhengquan really played tricks, I knew that Xuanjikou's matter was not so simple. Now we are going to see the Xiao Clan's Martial Arts Association, which has expanded rapidly in the north in recent years, and its business has been booming, and this year's trade show has occupied three seats in the upper exhibition area! It seems that it will break the balance of commercial power in Dingzhou. Wang Junqi said solemnly, "Recently, the organization seems to be extremely jealous of the Xiao family, after all, how much information has been collected for the Xiao family by the traitor who has been lurking for five years is really difficult for the superiors. Xiao Yu sneered indifferently, "Hmph, the action department selects personnel and manages them so strictly, but other departments are full of loopholes, I really don't know what the top is afraid of." Speaking from the heart, the cannibalism every ten years is indeed a bit tired!" Wang Junqi shook his head awkwardly and said: "Wing Lord, the ten-year period is coming, it is not appropriate to say this kind of thing now, after three months of assembly, it is difficult to say whether we are friends or enemies!" The two were silent for a long time, and Xiao Yu broke the silence and said slowly: "After the matter in three months, let's see what information we can get from the Xiao family in the north this time." It's the right thing to do as soon as possible!" the two turned and walked out of the alley and into the street.
The bustling Dongling Street, where the headquarters of the major merchants in Dingzhou is located, the heads of the major businesses are arranged in a staggered manner, and the architectural layout is the exquisite Lin Yuan Qiaoge, and some are the luxurious banquet halls, each with its own style is too numerous to mention. On the largest and wide ground of East Street stands the largest and most luxurious Tonghua Hall of the Xiao Family Sect Martial Arts Association in the whole block, two tall white jade lions are placed at the door, the light is shining and exquisite, and six giant nanmu trees are set up as a porch as pillars, standing symmetrically on the left and right, and the vermilion heavy lacquer door with hollow gold texture is open. In the middle of the door is a wall of dazzlingly carved shadow walls, and the fragrance comes from the door, which is refreshing. As the official headquarters of the Xiao family in Dingzhou, this magnificent building shows the Xiao family's pride in the world! Standing at the door are twelve armed warriors in Chinese costumes, each of whom is a carefully selected master.
Ling Xiaoyu took Wang Junqi and more than a dozen people under his leadership, slowly came to the door of Tonghua Hall, the guards saw that the visitors did not have a car, except for Xiaoyu, the others seemed to be dressed shabby, thinking that they were small businessmen from outside the country, and they were not rich enough, they all showed a trace of contempt and disdain, and Tu Heng, the leader of the class, went out directly to stop everyone, and said with disrespectful squints: "Stop, don't look at what kind of place this is, a group of eyeless hawkers also want to enter the Xiao Hall? Wang Junqi stepped forward to confront Tu Heng, and said in a deep voice: "Guarding the family's loyal dog, can you speak human words? It depends on the worship post, you are not qualified, retract your disrespectful words just now, our Duan family is not easy to bully!" As the other guards gradually got closer, Tu Heng raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Yo, the dog still wants to make trouble? Do you know that this is the boundary of the Xiao family? There is no difference between killing a small merchant like you and pinching an ant to death! Get out of here, don't let the brothers clear the field!" After saying that, he slowly pulled out the knife in his hand, but saw Xiaoyu lazily waving his long sleeves, throwing out five gold dipping long needles from it, and shooting evenly on the knife sleeve, and the five gold needles were tied with a gold silk book. The crimping line of this book is printed with Xiao's writing, her series of movements seem to be casual, but the strength is sufficient, and the gold needles are evenly arranged, showing extraordinary skills, the guards at the door see this, dare not step forward again, Tu Heng looked at the saber that was shot through and could not be pulled out, and was shocked, knowing that the person who came was not easy to match, he stared at the people in front of him blankly, but saw Xiaoyu Tankou lightly opened": nothing to be surprised! If it is a battle of life and death, your heart and forehead have already been pierced by my golden dipping flying stab, and you will go in with a prayer post and tell Xiao Jinghuan, just say that Duan Jintian of the Duan family of Yingnanzhou Shengshi Weaving Workshop came to visit!" Tu Heng was intimidated by the murderous aura she carried, trembling and quickly turned around and entered the door with the worship post.
After waiting for half a moment, everyone heard a noisy footsteps on the porch, and a group of inner palace guards surrounded a woman in gorgeous clothes and stepped out of the door, only to see that this person was wearing a peacock fan screen hairpin, and the gold bead headdress flashed in the sunlight This brilliant brilliance, wearing a red body inlaid with gold silk robes, white fox skin shoulders on the shoulders, jade rhino leather buckles hanging from the waist, stepping on the worry-free splendid Qinghe shoes, white silk embroidered socks on the legs look straight and slender, between the swaying skirts, it looks extremely attractive. Take a closer look at this woman's beautiful appearance, her skin is like snow, her slender eyebrows are gently raised upwards, her thick eyelashes are curled, accompanied by a pair of phoenix eyes showing seductive waves, light red eye shadow, lilac forehead appliqué is just right, and her lips are half open, which looks extremely amorous. The person who came was not her, the wife of Xiao Jinghuan, the official head of the Xiao family in the north, and Li Fengqian, who was famous for her talent and affection! I saw her smiling all over her face, but she showed a trace of unwillingness, showing her friendship as a best friend, "Oh!~~ Is it Sister Jintian? My sister really made us wait for our husband and wife! Come on, come on, follow me into the courtyard, I have a lot of things to discuss with my sister in detail." There are also these blindless bastard dog servants, who can't even recognize the important VIPs, and lose the face of my Xiao family! I'll settle accounts with you afterwards! Why don't I apologize to Miss Jinyi soon!" After saying that, she glanced at Tu Heng beside her, who lowered her head in shame, and kept thinking about Xiao Yu's waist to apologize, she no longer paid attention to this group of stupid minions, turned around and enthusiastically grabbed Xiao Yu's arm and walked into the mansion. The two of them laughed and laughed, their skirts swayed, and the charming fragrance accompanied by the crisp sound of the accessories bursting out, and they disappeared into the inner courtyard of this deep pavilion.
