Chapter 82: Su Ling
To the north of Donglai, outside the famous Suling City, there is a carriage pulled by an old horse, bumpily towards the city gate.
The old horse's coat was dull, and he could not walk, but he was still dutiful, and walked diligently, pulling the carriage behind him with all his might.
On the back of the old horse, there sat a heroic woman with blue eyes, whose appearance was beautiful and unforgettable, wearing a dark green gold-rimmed robe, adding a bit of femininity.
It's just that the coldness on this beauty's face discourages everyone who tries to talk to her.
On top of the carriage, a young man dressed in a Taoist robe was sitting, with a comfortable face, holding a string of sugar gourds in his hand, looking at the scenery along the way with interest.
Liu Bei turned his head and looked unhappy:
"Why should I be in front of the horse while you can eat a sugar gourd in the car?"
Xue Chuan swallowed a sugar gourd wrapped in rich sugar juice with a grunt, and said with a smile:
"You don't understand this, this horse's back is elastic, and it must be more comfortable than the board, how can I bear to let you suffer from the pain of this bumpy road?"
Liu Bei still had an unkind look on his face:
"So, why don't I have a sugar gourd?"
Xue Chuan said casually:
"Eating sugar gourds is bad for your teeth. ”
Liu Bei didn't want to communicate these with Xue Chuan, who had no bottom line, so he "snorted" and said:
"When you get to Suling City, you must also buy me a bunch, otherwise I will cut your pants with a sword!"
Xue Chuan said:
"There's no need to be so vicious..."
Liu Bei turned his head and said no more.
Not long after, the two of them walked to the east gate of this Suling City.
Xue Chuan got out of the carriage and walked to the officers and soldiers defending the city, and at the same time he had prepared everything needed to enter the city.
After checking the way and paying the entrance fee to the city, Xue Chuan and Liu Bei easily entered the famous Suling City, and by the way, the carriage was sold to a person who was doing reselling business at a low price, in exchange for a little silver taels.
Liu Bei looked at Xue Chuan, who had collected the broken silver in his pocket, and teased:
"There are so many immortal cultivators, and only you will choose the oldest horse to drive for the sake of cheapness. ”
Xue Chuan didn't care:
"What's this, we're not in a hurry, wouldn't it be better to choose an old horse that walks steadily?"
Liu Bei pursed his lips:
"Die to save face. ”
Xue Chuan smiled, pointed to the food stall not far away, and said with a smile:
"If you still want to eat, don't try to squeeze me anymore. ”
Liu Bei didn't even look at Xue Chuan, so he walked towards the fragrant vendor, and when he passed by Xue Chuan, he just said calmly:
"Add another bowl of rice and meat porridge. ”
Xue Chuan was not annoyed, but followed Liu Bei towards the food stall with a smile.
bought a bowl of rice porridge, a yellow stewed chicken, three taels of glutinous rice balls, and bought four strings of roasted hare meat, Liu Bei left satisfied, and Xue Chuan, who paid the bill, secretly slandered Liu Bei's good appetite.
Liubei enjoyed the food along the way, but he really didn't squeeze Xue Chuan again.
The two of them chose an inn that was somewhat famous in the city, rented a room, put away their luggage, and had time to rest.
Liu Bei lay on the bed and said with some dissatisfaction:
"In such a big inn, there is only one room left. ”
Xue Chuan grinned:
"Doesn't that show more about the popularity of this place?"
Liu Bei glanced at Xue Chuan:
"Don't think I don't know, you were actually happy when you heard that you were going to share a room with me. ”
Xue Chuan sighed and said disdainfully:
"Come on, you, a handsome and talented person like me, but there are a lot of girls waiting to follow me, and you took advantage of it!"
Liu Bei was once again shocked by Xue Chuan's shamelessness:
"Hey, do you mean you're still at a loss? Do you need me to compensate you?"
Xue Chuan thoughtfully:
"It's not a big loss, after all, you're also more than half a street away from those vulgar fans, as for compensation or something, it means it."
"Bang!"
A bench flew towards Xue Chuan, but Xue Chuan reacted quickly and stopped him with his hand.
"Compensation for you!"
Liu Bei said angrily.
Xue Chuan put down the bench in his hand and sighed:
"How come young people nowadays don't know how to be grateful? With the company of a beautiful man like me, who is talented and outstanding, he actually uses such a rude method, which is really the trend of the world..."
Hearing this, Liu Bei narrowed his eyes, and at the same time held the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and said word by word:
"You can say one more thing?"
Xue Chuan thought for a moment and decisively admitted:
"I'm going shopping, do you want to come along?"
Liu Bei sneered:
"Why don't you go, if I don't think well of you, God knows how many little girls you'll trick into having sex with you?"
Who knew that Xue Chuan smiled slightly:
"You mean you admit I'm a handsome and talented man, right?"
Liu Bei's words were stagnant, and he was speechless for a while.
Seeing this, Xue Chuan laughed unscrupulously, then pushed open the door and walked out of the room, his laughter was so arrogant that even if he had left, he could still make Liu Bei hear it clearly.
Liu Bei, who was sitting on the bed, couldn't help but be so angry that Xue Chuan's teeth itched, and then patted the mattress angrily, then stood up and chased after Xue Chuan.
Xue Chuan walked to the street, heard the footsteps behind him, and did not look back, but said in a casual tone:
"If you're interested, I think we can go to the auction and see if we can have some fun. ”
Liu Bei frowned and said:
"What kind of auction? What are you talking nonsense? Aren't you crazy?"
Xue Chuan pouted:
"No, the one on the banner. ”
Liu Bei looked along Xue Chuan's point, and found that on the restaurant opposite the inn, there was a huge banner, and several heroic characters were written in the center, eye-catching.
Liu Bei lowered his head silently, unwilling to look at Xue Chuan's gloating smug face.
"It's okay, it's not your fault that you have bad eyesight~~"
Xue Chuan patted Liu Bei's shoulder and forced a smile.
"Less nonsense, lead the way. ”
Liu Bei has obviously saved up a lot of anger.
"Good, good~~"
Xue Chuan's smile was full of cheapness that made people angry, which made Liu Bei's heart feel aggrieved.
This "Moyue Auction House" is the only auction house in Suling City, with supreme reputation, high-quality service, and the collection of dignitaries and dignitaries, so it is very famous.
When he walked to the door of the "Moyue Auction House", even after seeing the luxurious mansions of those cultivation families, Xue Chuan was still shocked by the decoration of the auction house.
Whether it is the craftsmanship of carving beams and paintings, or the brilliant materials, they all tell the following words to outsiders:
Don't come if you don't have money.
Looking at the five big and three rough men at the door of the auction house, Xue Chuan couldn't help but realize a very serious question:
"Well, I don't think we'll be able to get in. ”
Liu Bei was puzzled:
"Why?"
Xue Chuan spread his hands helplessly:
"We don't have any money!"
Liu Bei narrowed his eyes and looked at Xue Chuan:
"Don't have the money to come and see a bullshit auction?"
Xue Chuan scratched his head a little embarrassed:
"Didn't I forget~~"
As soon as Liu Bei flicked his sleeves, he planned to turn around and leave:
"Spoiled!"
At this time, an interested voice sounded behind Xue Chuan:
"Two of you!"
Liu Bei paused, turned his head suspiciously, and couldn't help frowning.
Xue Chuan's eyes also became playful after seeing the person who spoke out.
It was a well-dressed young man, his clothes were made of exquisite materials, and his steps and behavior were extraordinary that reflected his identity, and he was looking at Xue Chuan and Liu Bei with a pleasant face at this time...
To be precise, just looking at Liubei.
Xue Chuan couldn't help but feel a little funny, and said in his heart:
"It turns out that there is still such a benefit in bringing a beautiful woman by your side?"
The young man stepped forward quickly, followed by a few low-key followers, obviously of an unusual position.
Xue Chuan squinted his eyes, saw the patterns on the clothes of the entourage, and whispered:
"The Yuan family... It's quite a famous master. ”
At this time, Xue Chuan's gaze crossed the young man, as if he saw something, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking, but his expression remained unchanged.
The young man came to Xue Chuan's side and said enthusiastically:
"Do you want to participate in this auction?"
Liu Bei's expression was slightly cold, and he was about to refuse, but Xue Chuan stepped forward directly, looking more enthusiastic than this young man:
"Yes, yes, yes! Exactly! It's just that I'm shy, I don't know what to do, little brother, can I do it?"
The young man was stunned, in his imagination, he might have had to spend a little more time to guide the topic, who knew that things would go so smoothly.
Liu Bei was also stunned, because in her impression, Xue Chuan was not the kind of person who would be enthusiastic about strangers.
"Ahh I was about to invite you two to go with me, but I was afraid..."
This young man couldn't keep up with Xue Chuan's rhythm, and he was a little nervous when he spoke for a while.
"It's okay! we just need help!"
Xue Chuan put his arm around the young man's shoulders and said with a smile:
"Needless to say, brother, I see that you have a good face, and you are familiar at first sight, I think you must not be a wicked person, it is better to know each other?"
The young man of the Yuan family was stunned:
Isn't that your own line?
Liu Bei also pulled the corners of Xue Chuan's clothes and said in a low voice:
"What are you doing?"
Xue Chuan motioned to Liu Bei with his eyes, asking her not to act rashly, and then moved his body closer to the young man of the Yuan family, and said with a smile:
"What, what do you think?"
However, no one noticed that when Xue Chuan lowered his head slightly, his eyes were staring at several low-key men not far away.
The people gathered together, their clothes were relatively ordinary, and they didn't look abnormal, but they all had a small emblem on their chests, which seemed to indicate that they had some kind of identity in common.
That emblem is not conspicuous, and it may not feel much if someone else comes, but for Xue Chuan, who has an extraordinary memory, it is still fresh in his memory.
Qing Wen, who died at his hands, and the guards in the cave, are exactly this kind of emblem on their bodies!
Although Xue Chuan was giggling on the surface, he was terribly cold in his heart:
"It's the same group again... What the hell is a coincidence... Or is there something else going on?"
