Chapter Twenty-Five: The Golden Ring
Chu Lan said goodbye to Ouyang Qingfeng, and hurried to Yinyue City to inquire about the news.
Under the starry sky, the black-robed man chased the stars and the moon.
In the mangosteen garden behind the Chu family, there are spring bamboo shoots sprouting.
-
Liu Yeqing sat on the cliff where Chu Lan often sits, and the scholar Chu Lan looked like he hung his legs in the air.
Chu Daiyan was still nervously making arrangements for the decisive battle with the Jin family.
But what they didn't know was that the son who thought about it for a long time was now in Silver Moon City.
Chu Lan lowered his cloak and came to an alley, where bats hung upside down on the roof.
A pawn dressed as a servant of the Jin family soon appeared in the alley, this pawn was named Zhang Sheng, and Chu Lan had investigated him when he had previously selected the assassination list.
So I know that at this moment, Zhang Sheng will pass through this small alley after drinking.
Although Zhang Sheng was a pawn of the Jin family, he was a pickpocket before entering the Jin family, and later took the things of a foreign merchant and unknowingly got into trouble
In order to take refuge, Zhang Sheng entered the Jin family and worked hard for Jin Huan, the son of Jin Qiujiu's cousin.
The Golden Ring is not well-known, but he has a lot of knowledge about the affairs of the clan, and he is a well-informed character in the lineage.
After Zhang Sheng settled down, he began to do his old job again, Chu Lan felt that he was guilty, but the least to die, so he crossed him off his life and death book.
Now it seems that Zhang Sheng is the best entry point to understand the Jin family.
Now Zhang Sheng, who was born as a ruffian, took the stolen money, drank a little wine, and was staggering through this alley.
How did he know that danger was approaching?
Above the eaves, a dark shadow fell quietly, and there was no sound
A particularly cold feeling came from the back of Zhang Sheng's neck, and most of the wine woke up in an instant.
Because at this moment there was a sharp knife on his neck.
Zhang Sheng trembled, and the yellow and white things in his crotch came out.
is a person who is greedy for life and death, but in recent years, he has defected to the big tree of the Jin family, and his life is abnormal, so he has become more afraid of death.
Chu Lan was shrouded in the shadow of the moon, and he was wearing a wide robe, so he couldn't see the slightest appearance at all.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Has there been a big event in the Jin family recently?"
Zhang Sheng was stunned for a moment, listening to the other party's mouth, when the grandparents called, they were about to take out all their belongings and hand them to the other party.
Chu Lan's fingers were slightly forced, and the sharp blade instantly pierced his skin. Speak again.
"Don't say anything else, pick up all the important things you know and tell me, what you say is useful, and let you live"
Zhang Sheng didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly told Chu Lan what he knew.
"A few days ago, the Jin family has been patient with the provocation of the Chu family, but recently a big man came to the Jin family, saying that it was the brother that the ancestor made when he traveled in the past, and his strength was extremely terrifying.
"So recently, the Jin family has relied on this, and they are no longer afraid of the Chu family, and they have collided head-on with the Chu family many times."
"I heard that they are still waiting for someone, that person's cultivation is even more terrifying than the current one, and when that person arrives, it will be the time when the two Jinchu families officially start a war."
Chu Lan was shocked, she didn't expect to get such important news from him, it seemed that she had indeed chosen the right person.
"Continue", Chu Lan urged
"The owner of Yunxiao Village is crazy, the new sword master has succeeded to the throne, and he is a puppet supported by an elder of the Jin family."
Chu Lan was not interested in this and frowned.
"Over"
"The day after tomorrow, the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce is going to hold an auction, and Jin Qiujiu will send Jinhuan to auction some good things to give to overseas real people as gifts. ”
"The ancestor of the Chu family, it is rumored that the breakthrough failed, and it is suspected that he has been sitting"
Chu Lan snorted coldly, he knew that Chu Zhenxiong was not dead.
"Anything else?"
Zhang Sheng said a lot of inconsequential trivial matters, and Chu Lan was impatient to listen to it, feeling that there was nothing else of value to obtain.
So he said to Zhang Sheng
"Speak up, you know the consequences"
There is no need for Chu Lan to remind him, he won't say anything if he kills him, once the Jin family knows that he has leaked these news, it will be strange if he doesn't die.
Zhang Sheng fainted and fell to the ground.
The night, under the starry sky, burns with the longing of dawn.
Chu Lan suppressed the urge to go home, he was in the dark now, but it was more conducive to acting.
Who would have thought that a dead man was planning something right now.
Chu Lan found a tavern at random, which belonged to the Hongyun Chamber of Commerce, and was not attached to the Jin family, either of the Chu family.
The boss saw that the black scarf covered his face, and he didn't ask much about it, after all, who would have trouble with money.
Chu Lan took out the trivial silver taels she brought with her before going out, and gave an extra part as a tip for the boss to be reasonable.
Nothing was said all night.
Early in the morning, the first touch of morning light spilled into Chu Lan's room, and Chu Lan woke up from meditation.
Got up and moved his muscles. played a set of Arhats who were taught by Chu Dai.
This set of boxing methods has nothing to do with Arhat, but this crack is worthy of its name.
After Chu Lan finished doing it, it was like a set of broadcast gymnastics, her muscles and bones crackled, and her joints moved in unison.
He opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of turbidity, and immediately felt refreshed.
Although this set of boxing techniques is not cumbersome, as Chu Lan's practice increases, he feels more and more miraculous.
Practicing can not only awaken muscle vitality and energy, but also practice for a long time, not only to strengthen the body.
It can even widen the meridians and continue to strengthen the foundation.
Chu Lan practiced swords during the day, swallowed spiritual power at night, consolidated the realm, and restrained the blood and qi around him, but it was more majestic than before.
He is convinced that he can now kill an elephant with a single punch.
Three days have passed in a flash, and nothing special has happened to the Jin family and the Chu family recently. Today is already the date of the auction.
The auction was scheduled to be held in the afternoon, and Chu Lan looked through his "belongings" to understand his "economic situation" first
In the ring, the silver two plus the silver ticket is not more than one hundred taels of silver, Chu Lan doesn't like to go out with money, like him, a son who has a solid family background in Yinyue City, who doesn't have a silver of five or six hundred taels on him.
Besides, at that time, he was bent on going to the Silver Moon Forest to practice, which was a life of nine deaths, who would have thought of using these things.
Now, the most valuable thing on Chu Lan's body is probably only those demon beast spirit cores that the Silver Moon Forest killed.
After looking at it, the second-order demon beasts counted the batch of Silver Moon Blue Wolves. There are twenty or thirty pieces, and there are dozens of them at the peak of the first order.
Chu Lan thought to herself, "Bounty hunters make a living by hunting demon beasts, and their income is not ordinarily high, but they don't know how to take valuable things from demon beasts, and they don't know how much silver their dozens of spirit cores can be worth?"
At the moment, I am waiting for the afternoon with the attitude of trying my luck, even if I can't buy the things I like, it's better to make trouble for the Jin family.
Chu Lan put on his clothes, covered his body with a black robe, and covered his face with a cloak.
Before going out, I paid ten taels of room fee plus tips and went out.
Then he went straight to the auction building of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce, the most prosperous in the center of Silvermoon City.
The number of people who came to participate in this auction called "Shocking" today is indeed quite large, and the streets are full of people.
Of course, there are not many people who are qualified to enter, they are nothing more than figures from some big families, or business tycoons, because the entrance fee of eighty taels alone is not affordable for ordinary people.
The income of ordinary people in Silver Moon City is less than ten taels of silver a month, and eighty taels is equivalent to the income of most of the year, and even if you want to spend these dozens of taels to buy an insight, you can only stare at other things after entering.
Most of the people came to see the excitement, because the people who appeared here today are big people who are difficult to see in ordinary people.
Chu Lan walked slowly through the crowded flow of people.
I saw a carriage running in the distance, pulled by two red-maned sweaty horses, and the hooves were like thunder.
When everyone saw it from afar, they split to both sides like water, making the already crowded street even more crowded.
The carriage was driven by an extremely powerful middle-aged man.
Someone in the crowd recognized the middle-aged man with a black face, and immediately lowered his head and discussed
"The Jin family, Zhang Wuye, the number one master of the Jin family, this is directly under the Jin family's ancestors, and he can't even listen to Jin Qiujiu's words, who is sitting in the car now, and the Chu family values it so much. ”
"Jin Yuying was killed, and the Jin family is qualified, so I really can't know. ”
The two tall horses snorted, came to the middle of the crowd and deliberately raised their front hooves, and then fell, and the dust flew up, and those who were close were immediately discouraged.
The people around him who were disgraced scolded in their hearts, but they could only endure it.
There were four or five people in the rear trotting, all of whom were also arrogant and arrogant.
Among them, there is a thief-eyed character who is Zhang Sheng.
Seeing him, Chu Lan was even more sure of the identity of the people in the carriage.
Chu Lan snorted coldly, and flicked his fingers twice in his sleeve. The streets are crowded and chaotic, who will pay attention to this black-robed man.
The carriage traveled less than ten paces.
With a click, the front legs of the two horses snapped in unison. Kneeling and rowing out the distance
The black-faced man driving the carriage frowned, turned over and dismounted, put one hand on the front of the carriage, and stopped shaking the violently bumpy body.
The two horses knelt in front of them, but their bodies did not tilt.
The man stretched out his other hand, lifted the curtain, and a young man with an ordinary face stepped out of the car.
There was a touch of yin air between the young man's eyebrows, obviously because he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
looked at Chu Lan at the moment, and said in a deep voice, "Who?"
A chill spread, the noisy flow of people was instantly quiet, and the needle drop could be heard.
The black-faced man put down the carriage and held the hilt of the knife at his waist. Stand quietly aside.
One of the entourages took a few steps forward, grabbed the collar of a brightly dressed but actually ordinary person, and asked.
"Is that you?"
The civilian, who had been grabbed by the collar, had never seen such a posture, and shook his head sharply to show his innocence.
The tense atmosphere was pervasive, and the people of the Jin family had the intention of fighting.
Chu Lan stood in the dark, his palm's spiritual power slowly flowing, his fingers caressing the ring, ready to take out the blunt sword "Bagang" at any time to start a battle.
Just a second before Chu Lan was about to make a move.
Three figures walked slowly in the distance.
The streets go from west to east, and the sunset sets behind the three figures, setting off their majesty.
One of the three was gorgeously dressed, dressed as a wanderer, and the other was dressed in a white robe, extremely good-looking, and a pair of Danfeng eyes were shining, but unfortunately he lacked an ordinary expression, and his face was like frost.
There is also a person carrying two huge axes, with bulging muscles all over his body, very burly, his arms are about to catch up with the thick waist of ordinary people, and he has a big beard, but he is not very old.
Chu Lan was short of breath, couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, put away his spiritual power, and watched from the wall.
Xiao Si, who was accompanying the Jin family here, hurriedly put down the man and didn't dare to make any other moves.
Who else can make the arrogant Jin family so nervous?
Chu Xuan, Chu Feng, and Chu Teng appeared together, who in the younger generation dared to make a mistake.
Before Chu Feng arrived, the voice came from afar.
"The Jin family, what a majesty!"
