Chapter 279: Wasteland Black Market
Prominent status, strong strength, and the title of cultivation genius all represent Jin Ling's uniqueness, and it stands to reason that he has a superior arrogance in his bones.
Seeing that a subordinate dared to refute the master's face in front of outsiders, Li Ding sweated for Jin Li.
However, in the face of Jin Ling's displeasure, Jin Li smiled disapprovingly: "Brother Ling, do you think what the old slave said is wrong?"
For a moment, the eyes of the two seemed to have made some kind of exchange, and the displeasure on Jin Ling's face slowly converged.
Just now, Li Ding thought that Jin Li was just a subordinate character, and he didn't want to dare to talk to Jin Ling like this, it seems that the relationship between the two is not as simple as he thought.
At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Juyunlou Qian Wanfa begged to see Ling Shao. ”
Hearing this voice, Li Ding was slightly stunned.
Jin Ling's expression was dazed, and he glanced at Jin Li, who said to the door, "Boss Qian, please come in." ”
As the door opened, a tall, thin, bearded middle-aged man walked into the room.
"I've seen Ling Shao, I've seen Jin Ye. Qian Wanfa's tone was crisp, and he said hello to the two of them, and then he looked at Li Ding next to him with a sly look in his eyes and said, "Who is this son?"
"Can you get the thing?" Jin Ling suddenly asked rhetorically, directly ignoring Qian Wanfa's question.
This made the corners of Qian Wanfa's mouth twitch, and after taking his eyes off Li Ding, he said: "Please forgive Ling Shao, I have been maneuvering from it, but the seller still refuses to trade directly." ”
"How?"
"The seller only agreed to put it on the auction floor, although the quality of the things is indeed excellent, but the price may be a little high, so I hope Ling Shao will be mentally prepared. Qian Wanfa said.
"The price is high!" Jin Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "How high can it be?"
"The estimated transaction price may be 10 million gold coins. Qian Wanfa said.
"Ten million! You are not afraid of burning your hands. Jin Li looked serious and interjected.
Jin Ye said with a smile, what does this have to do with us. You must know that this is an extraordinary time when there is no price and no market, and I can only say that if you miss it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find the source of goods. Qian Wanfa's expression was calm, with an attitude that he didn't care about himself.
Li Ding kept calm and listened quietly, although he didn't know what they were talking about, but what could be worth 10 million made him curious.
"Boss Qian didn't reveal my identity to the seller, right?" Here, after listening to Qian Wanfa's words, Jin Ling said.
These words made Qian Wanfa look stunned and said: "The rules of the auction house, unless both parties to the transaction are willing, we will never reveal the identity of any party, is Ling Shao doubting our integrity?"
"Hehe, it's better to be like this. Jin Ling laughed coldly.
"It's just a joke. Jin Li next to him also smiled: "Boss Qian, if the thing is really good, we will try our best to take a picture." ”
"Well, if there is no problem with Ling Shao's side, I will arrange it, I wish Ling Shao all his wishes come true. Qian Wanfa smiled slightly.
"Boss Qian, it's best not to let me down. Jin Ling finally said.
Qian Wan laughed without saying a word, and turned back.
This Qian Wanfa is obviously a shrewd businessman, in fact, from the moment he heard his name, Li Ding has already learned from his memory that although this Qian Wanfa is not good-looking, he is a martial artist with a clear state of mind. Although there is no more information, judging from the identity of Jin Ling, who does not seem to be afraid of Jin Ling, he must not be a simple person.
When Qian Wanfa withdrew from the room, Jin Ling's face was slightly gloomy: "Old fox, you directly moved out of the reserve price, this is obviously to knock us out." ”
"This well-known old treacherous man surnamed Qian is a huge slippery, maybe it is their own strange goods to live in, and they must be indispensable in the field at that time, but at the moment, there is no other way. "Kim left the road.
After Jin Li finished speaking, he sighed lightly, turned his head and found that Li Ding was thoughtful, and said with a smile on his face again: "Young Master Lei, I'm sorry, I was slacking off just now." ”
"That's something, I'm afraid that it will delay Ling Shao's business. Li Ding said.
Jin Li nodded and said, "But Young Master Lei should have heard it too, our affairs have already been decided, if we are not in a hurry to enter the market, why don't we have a drink here with Brother Ling?"
Li Ding didn't want to delay here, although he had some ideas about what he was going to do next, it would take time to plan how to implement it.
"It's an honor to have the honor to drink with Ling Shao, but I can see that Ling Shao's matter seems to be very important, let me dare to mention it, in fact, this time is not early, it is better to enter the market as soon as possible. Li Ding said, looking at Jin Ling sincerely.
Jin Ling didn't say anything, but Jin Li smiled and said, "Listening to Lei Gongzi's words, you are also in a hurry to enter the market?"
"When I first arrived in Wangcheng, I heard a lot of rumors about the black market, especially when I heard that the auction houses in the black market were different, they dared to auction everything and sold everything, so I was eager to see it. Li Ding stared at Jin Li, Jin Li also looked at Li Ding, and between their eyes, a smile flashed in their eyes that others could not detect.
"It's okay, then go in early, besides, there is no good wine here, if you neglect Lei Gongzi, it will not be good if Elder Liu says that I don't take good care of me in the future." "Kim left the road.
"Uncle Li, it seems that Lei ...... Childe and Elder Liu are not ordinary friends. Jin Ling smiled faintly and said, "Then let's enter the market." ”
After speaking, Jin Ling stood up, and Jin left to open the door.
Li Ding followed and got up, feeling that after mentioning Liu Li again, Jin Ling's attitude towards him seemed to have changed a little at this moment.
The group came down from Juyun Tower, and a black-clothed guy not far away saw it, and immediately drove a carriage to the front.
Jin Li beckoned Li Ding and Jin Ling to get into the carriage and sat in front of him, while Ah Wei and Ah Zheng could only trot briskly with the carriage.
When they reached the entrance of the passage again, the four strange men glanced at it, and after noticing the conspicuous gold letters on the carriage shed, they did not even move their bodies, and let the carriage gallop by.
The passage is not long, and after entering, it suddenly turns dark in front of you, as if you have entered another world, and then a burst of cold breath seeps into the carport from all directions, making people feel a little uncomfortable.
Li Ding lifted the curtain of the car and glanced out, but saw that there was an inky color outside, and only the shadows of trees and grass were faintly shaking quickly.
The carriage was moving very fast, and the sound of the horse's hooves was bumpy all the way, Li Ding had to hold on to the carport to stabilize his body, but when he looked back, he saw Jin Ling in the darkness opposite with his hands around, his eyes slightly closed, calm and relaxed, and his body did not shake in the slightest, as if he was sitting in the air.
Li Ding's heart sank, and from this point alone, it could be seen that Jin Ling's cultivation was too much higher than him.
The two of them sat quietly like this, occasionally passing by fast horses, but Jin Ling was silent, and Li Ding was happy to be quiet.
But after walking for a while, Jin Ling suddenly asked, "I don't know where Gongzi Lei is?"
"Has Ling Shao ever heard of Fox Leaf Island? After the previous incident, Li Ding had to prepare a set of rhetoric in his heart.
"Fox Leaf Island! that place is rich in medicinal herbs?" Jin Ling seemed to be puzzled, and then said, "Then Young Master Lei should know a lot about medicinal herbs?"
"My family is in the business related to medicinal herbs, but I have been idle since I was a child, and I have never been involved in these things. Li Ding replied casually, deliberately with a hint of sneer.
As soon as these words came out, Li Ding couldn't help but sigh in his heart for his changes, after going through so much, now he is lying, not only does his heart not beat or his face is red, but he also does not pause.
"Hmm......" Jin Ling responded, as if thinking about something, Li Ding thought he would ask again, but there was no follow-up.
Regardless of whether Jin Ling believes it or not, this is also exactly what Li Ding meant, and it is better to have nothing to say.
After a while, the galloping carriage suddenly slowed down, and there was a bright light swaying between the cracks in the carport.
Li Ding looked out and saw a string of firelight flickering in the distance ahead.
By the light of the fire, you can see that on both sides of the road are the spread of barren grassland, and this dark barren grassland with the smell of rotting grass cannot be seen at all in the thick night. It is surprising that there is such a place in the royal city.
Soon, the glittering fires were filled with watchtowers with lanterns and torches, and between the watchtowers were walls of pointed wood or stone, forming a huge stockade.
At the end of the road was the only entrance to the stockade, with the two highest watchtowers, on which people stood and found them from afar.
The carriage slowly drove into the stockade, and Li Ding noticed that there were strings of skulls hanging around the watchtower next to him.
This made his eyes glaze over, and in his opinion, this was clearly a warning to demonstrate.
In addition to some ordinary buildings, Li Ding's eyes were also some strange houses, wooden houses with cloth strips and colorful flags, large stone fortresses with strange patterns, and frames built randomly out of wood. Against the backdrop of the dim light of the lantern, it looks very strange, and it naturally makes people wary.
In the middle of the building, all kinds of pedestrians are interspersed, which looks chaotic.
It stands to reason that such an environment should be noisy, but strangely, the entire black market is unusually quiet and dreary, as if an invisible giant monster has swallowed up all the unnecessary sounds.
After the carriage entered, some people stared at it with various expressions as if they had made an appointment. What's more, when they stop or what they are doing, they have a look of ill intentions, which makes people depressed.
And there was a faint, strange smell of rancid food in the air.
Chaos, restlessness, and sloppiness, this is the first impression that the black market gives Li Ding.
"Brother Ling, there is something wrong with the atmosphere of the black market today. Outside the carport, Jin Li's voice suddenly came.
Jin Ling didn't reply, just lifted the curtain and glanced out.
Li Ding didn't know why, and it was inconvenient to ask more, so he had to wait and see.
The carriage made a few turns and stopped in front of a building, which looked like a restaurant from the outside, but outside the gate there were eight tall men in black and red shirts on both sides, indicating that this was not an ordinary building.
There was no plaque in front of the building, and when Li Ding looked up to remember something, he found that there was no relevant information in his mind.
It seems that the broken memories from outside have indeed been cast, but there is no information about the building.
This is a bad thing, but also a good thing, recalling the kind of pain he endured before, this double-edged sword made Li Ding's heart palpitate.
