Chapter 869: Xuan Ziwen
The Xiyun Empire, an empire located in the westernmost part of the Domain Boundary Continent, has a vast territory and major cities scattered all over the place, but after a few years of wars with the Blood Clan and several major empires joining forces to attack, until today, many cities have been reduced to an empty city.
The place where the traces of the Blood Clan were found this time was none other than the place where Shi Xiao had stayed in the beginning, Sunset City.
Sunset City is located at the junction of several major empires, and it is also the place with the most frequent trade, at the beginning, this Sunset City was just an ordinary small city, but after the war, because Sunset City was at the junction of several empires, it was not greatly affected by the war, so the imperial capital of the Sunset Cloud Empire was eventually moved here.
When a city becomes the imperial capital of an empire, it can be said that it has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The area of the city has doubled since Shi Xiao left, and it is already adjacent to the Luoyang Mountain Range, and the city is also divided into two places: the residential area of the royal family and the common area.
The gates of Sunset City are still guarded by soldiers, and they have been the same for more than ten years, and one of them is still that familiar face.
The figure was much older than when Shi Xiao left more than ten years ago, his temples were gray, and now he was sitting in the shade outside the city gate, watching the figures coming and going and thinking about the things in his heart.
Shi Xiao had already changed into a simple dress and walked quickly towards the gate of the city.
His height is also the best among ordinary people, and it is also very eye-catching, and next to that handsome face, there are still young men, women, and children who cast extremely appreciative glances along the way.
Shi Xiao didn't think so, and stopped when he was stopped by a soldier, such a height naturally attracted the attention of that figure. At this time, he was frowning, staring at Shi Xiao, as if he was remembering something, and then got up and walked towards Shi Xiao.
"Brother Long!" Shi Xiao said hello as he did more than ten years ago.
The middle-aged man in front of him is the eldest brother Shi Xiao knew when he lived here, he hasn't seen him for many years, except for his appearance has become older, the rest have not changed at all.
Brother Long looked startled, his brows softened suddenly, and he glared at him and said loudly: "Are you an hour!?" ”
The two have not seen each other for more than ten years since they were separated, and when Shi Xiao fled here, it was also because of this Brother Long who gave a lot of help in life, so until now, Shi Xiao clearly remembers the appearance of this Brother Long.
Shi Xiao smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here, I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Long has become a mature and stable uncle!" ”
Shi Xiao said jokingly, but Brother Long grabbed Shi Xiao's hand and said happily: "Oh, I haven't seen you for so many years, haven't you become such a handsome guy, hurry up and have two drinks with me!" ”
Brother Long was still as enthusiastic as before, pulled Shi Xiao to the shade, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to come over today to investigate their duty situation, but I never thought to meet you, come, you and my brother have a drink!" ”
After a hearty conversation, Brother Long, who had entered middle age, was also drunk, and talked to Shi Xiao about what had happened over the years, and he was also grateful to Shi Xiao for bringing his two sons to the Yumen Mountain Sect to cultivate, and now he has a good development in the Yumen Mountain Sect.
It was already past the afternoon, Brother Long went back to rest with the support of several soldiers, and Shi Xiao was not in a hurry to wander around this Sunset City, wanting to see what the city he had lived in for more than three years had become now.
I don't know if it was in the dark or Shi Xiao did it on purpose, Shi Xiao walked to the foot of the auction house's building.
Sunset Auction House, the largest auction house in the Sunset Empire, almost every city in the territory of the Sunset Empire has large and small Sunset Auction House.
Shi Xiao stretched his waist, recalled the charming figure at the beginning in his mind, his whole body trembled, he looked up at the tall building of the auction house, and was about to turn around, when a rapid sound of beast hooves came from behind him.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Along with the dust kicked up by the drive, the rapid shouts echoed all around, attracting a lot of attention.
Just when the beast carts were about to crash into Shi Xiao, I saw his figure swaying slightly, and he had already flashed out more than ten meters.
The beast cart came to a safe stop, and immediately a few men ran out of the auction house and began to unload the contents of the cart.
"President Xuan is not here, take me to see her, the situation is urgent!" The man driving the frame jumped off and shouted in a panic.
A fellow stepped forward and said a few words, and then ran and took him into the auction house.
Shi Xiao frowned slightly, naturally knowing who Governor Xuan was in their mouths, but he heard the word blood clan from the mouth of this coachman, and he also asked him to follow quickly.
Compared with the previous Sunset Auction House, it has now become a magnificent large palace, which is also equipped with large and small facilities, and people come and go to marvel at such a beautiful appearance of the auction house.
It's no wonder, after all, Sunset City has now become the main city of the Xiyun Empire, and it naturally makes sense to become like this.
Seeing the two guys walking upstairs, Shi Xiao also followed quickly.
Unlike the previous ones, the auction house is three floors higher, and the higher it goes, the richer and more opulent it becomes, more like a palace of exquisite places.
As many years ago, Shi Xiao was stopped at the door by several strong men, but when Xiao took out the metal plaque that was already old, several strong men also showed respectful expressions.
"Do those people know about this?"
Shi Xiao walked to the door of a flash of exquisite decoration, and a woman's voice came from inside, the tone was gentle, and it was extremely soft in the ears, which made people feel soothing.
"That's the best, you go down first, collect more medicinal herbs recently, just in case!"
The woman's soft voice sounded again, and then the door was opened, and the man's face was already a lot more relaxed, he glanced at Shi Xiao, closed the door, and walked towards the staircase.
Shi Xiao knocked on the door and asked, "Miss Xuan, is it convenient now?" ”
"Please come in!" The woman's voice rang out from the room.
Shi Xiao pushed the door and entered, the interior decoration was the same as at the beginning, golden and luxurious, in front of the huge mahogany desk, a very charming woman was lowering her head to clean up the papers on the table.
"What?" Xuan Ziwen didn't look up, and asked Shi Xiao directly.
Xuan Ziwen has a little less charming look than at the beginning, and her black hair is coiled on her head, which gives her a little more sex appeal and charm that belongs to mature women, which makes people want to take a few more looks, even Shi Xiao.
Shi Xiao chuckled, walked towards the sofa, and said with a smile: "I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do?" ”
"My time is precious, this guest..."
Shi Xiao glanced at it unintentionally, and happened to fall on her wrist where she was sorting out the paper, her brows furrowed, and her heart was also shocked, and before she finished speaking, she directly interrupted: "Your bracelet is quite good-looking..."
Xuan Ziwen laughed, finished packing up the paper, stretched out his right hand, looked at the delicate bracelet on his wrist, his eyes were full of memories, and said, "A child gave it to me, it's been many years..."
"I didn't expect Sister Xuan to miss the old love so much?" Shi Xiao smiled and said.
Xuanzi Wenxian was stunned, and looked at Shi Xiao with a puzzled expression, although Shi Xiao has changed a lot now, but the handsome face mold can't be changed.
Compared with many years ago, Shi Xiao has completely transformed, more mature and stable.
Xuan Ziwen's frowning brows suddenly opened suddenly, and he exclaimed, "Xiao Yu!?" ”
Shi Xiao nodded with a smile and said, "I came here this time to visit Sister Xuan, I haven't seen her for many years, but I didn't expect that my sister has now become the president of this auction house in Luoyang City, which is amazing!" ”
Xuan Ziwen looked at Shi Xiao and nodded, her delicate face was already full of complicated expressions, her eyes were red, and she couldn't speak.
Shi Xiao looked at Xuan Ziwen's emotional eyes staring at him, but he was a little unaccustomed, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "That Xiao Yu was just a name for me at the beginning, my real name is Shi Xiao, and I will ask Sister Xuan to change her mouth in the future, otherwise it will sound very twisted!" ”
"You kid, you have been running for more than ten years, and people have been waiting hard all these years!"
