Chapter Twenty-Three

Qushui City

Its existence is like a Great Qi guardian deity dormant underground.

It is also the first city that the legendary Eighteen Cavalry Generals of the Mountain Village occupied.

His scale is comparable to that of the capital, and the city walls are six feet high and more than five feet thick.

In Qingfeng County, Qushuicheng is the most lively and prosperous, and large and small merchants will transport goods to Qushui City.

So if you want to buy anything, or if you want to buy some rare treasures, you can come to this Qushui City to try your luck.

Wen Hao and Ji Lengling arrived at the gate of Qushui City first, stopped and watched for a while, and then led their horses into Qushui City.

Despite the heat, the attraction of Qushui City far outweighs the impact of the heat.

Most people come to Qushui City from various border towns to play or shop.

Ji Lengling has seen a lot of the world, and naturally he can't be interested in seeing this kind of scene. But Wen Hao is different, he has been on the mountain for so many years, almost isolated from the world, and it is rare to see such a lively scene, so he naturally feels very novel.

"Uncle, what are your red balls strung together?"

“......”

"Auntie, what is this big green ball for?"

“......”

Ji Lengling only felt a headache, but he didn't expect that the young master of the Empty Sword Villa would be interested in these things.

I saw that Wen Hao was suddenly attracted by an uncle who sold turtles, and Ji Lengling hurriedly followed.

"A natural green-shelled little turtle, an unexpected darling of nature, as small as one hand to catch!"

A man with unkempt hair and bony bones shouted, holding a small green turtle in his hand.

"Lame Zhang, what are you selling?" asked the passer-by.

The scrawny man was suddenly unhappy and spat on the ground.

"What am I lame, my name is Xingjiaozhang! I have been mixing in the rivers and lakes for so many years, when have I ever sold fakes?"

"Oh, you can't have this turtle's shell coated with fuel?" asked the passer-by.

"Nonsense! What kind of character do I do! As for doing such a thing that ruins my reputation!"

The passer-by was surprised and took a closer look at the little green turtle on his feet.

"Good fellow, this little turtle really cherishes the color of the goods, it turns out to be a pure green turtle shell!"

Xingjiao raised his head proudly and said, "This is not nonsense! This is the turtle cub I found in Longtan!"

"Come on! Just like you, return to Longtan! Everyone disperse! He fools people!"

Wen Hao looked at it and was fascinated, because he saw a line of small sesame characters on the turtle shell of the little turtle, but the font was too small to read.

"Oh, don't go, don't go, this is really a turtle!"

Seeing that the crowd dispersed unmoved, his hurried hands were in a hurry. "I still have a quaint bamboo slip here! It records all kinds of strange things! Only you can't think of it, you can't see it! Oh, don't go!"

However, the crowd had already dispersed, leaving only Wen Hao and Ji Lengling still standing in front of the stall.

A thought flashed through Wen Hao's mind, his hands behind his back, and he walked to the sullen Xingzhang with interest.

"Yo! Childe, interested in seeing this little turtle, don't look at this little turtle, it's very magical!"

"Stop! I'm not interested in you little turtle, what kind of quaint bamboo slips you just said, I think I'm a little interested, you take it out and I'll see!"

Wen Hao pretended not to care, and said with a subtle comparison in his hand.

"Ouch, Childe! It's really eyesighting! Even I know my pressure box treasure!"

Seeing Wen Hao mentioning bamboo slips, his eyes rolled, and he took out a black cloth bag from his bag.

After spreading it out, a roll of bamboo slips was presented. The first time Wen Hao saw it, he knew that this bamboo slip was not a product of a long history.

"This book should have been found in the water, right?" Wen Hao blurted out.

Xingjiao was startled, cold sweat flowed, and only after half a sound did he reply: "Childe seems to be really a person who knows the goods......"

"It's not as quaint as you say, but I think it's interesting. ”

Wen Hao said that he was about to spread out the bamboo slip to see what was going on, but unexpectedly, he pulled back the bamboo slip with a resolute expression.

"Childe, you are a clear-eyed person, this bamboo slip is not surprising, and you also know how much it is worth. But others don't know, so this bamboo slip, forgive the line and can't sell it to you. ”

"Oh?"

Wen Hao was just about to answer, but Ji Lengling glanced at him and signaled to speak in a different place.

When the two came to the alley on the side, Ji Lengling hurriedly asked: "Young Zhuang Master, do you really need the bamboo slips in the hands of the foot merchant?"

Wen Hao was stunned and said: "I just think it's very interesting, I want to buy it and take a look." ”

"Young owner, there is a sentence, Leng Ling doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”

"You say. Wen Hao said.

"Most of the merchants are idle people in the rivers and lakes, and some of them can indeed get their hands on rare treasures. However, there are not a few people who have been deceived by foot merchants in recent years. Therefore, Leng Ling thinks that most of the line is to arouse the curiosity of the young owner. So much so that it can be sold at a reasonable price. ”

Wen Hao was stunned for a moment, touched his chin and looked in the direction of his feet. Seeing that Xingjiao was facing a young man with a folding fan to sell the bamboo slips in his hand, a thought flashed through Wen Hao's mind.

"This little young master, look at this bamboo slip! I have been traveling from south to north for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen such a valuable treasure! You see that this quaint seems to carry endless mysterious information, waiting for you to open it and discover it!"

The young man with the folding fan in his hand was stunned for a moment, and he almost took out the silver.

"Little young master, look at this, one hundred taels of silver! You take the bamboo slips, and I also have a green-shelled turtle on hand! ”

As he spoke, he picked up the little green-shelled turtle in his hand, it's okay if he doesn't take it out, as soon as he takes out the little turtle, the little master's eyes lit up.

When he opened his feet, he looked at the change in the expression of the young man with the folding fan, and there was a play in the dark way!

"Yo! Lao Zhang, take another piece of broken bamboo charcoal, and deceive others with the dyed turtle? After I saw through it before, you turned your face faster than a book!" Wen Hao said with a displeased expression on his face.

"This ......" Zhang was suddenly anxious, but he didn't dare to refute Wen Hao, after all, people are the ones who know the goods.

"Hey, little master, you can die in a hurry, you said that if you have three long and two short, how can you explain to the eldest lady. ”

An old man in the age of a sixtieth year gasped and grabbed the young man with a folding fan, making people look at it and were afraid that he would die violently if he didn't catch it in one breath.

"Little master, let's go with the old man, this guy is a big liar, you can't buy his things. ”

The folding fan boy nodded, blinked his eyes obediently and said, "Grandpa, I want to eat five-spice cake!"

The old man patted his thigh and said, "Grandpa buys! If you want to eat five-spice cakes, tell grandpa early, buy and buy!

When he walked past Wen Hao, the old man did not forget to cast a grateful look at Wen Hao. Wen Hao also sent him off in a friendly way.

"Hey, son, you're not ruining my business. Xingjiao said with a sad face.

Wen Hao snorted coldly and said: "You don't talk nonsense, if you don't sell it when you meet someone who knows the goods, you must go to pit others." You said that if I report to the police, it will be up to you to reason with you!"

"Ouch, son, I'll apologize and admit my mistake! You bid to take this bamboo slip, I can't do it this time!"

"Ten taels. Wen Hao tilted his head to the side.

Xingjiao struggled for a while, gritted his teeth, and took out the bamboo slips.

"It's good if I sell it early, and I won't be stingy with ten taels or twenty taels!"

Saying that, Wen Hao took another ten taels, a total of twenty taels, and put it on the hand of Xingjiao.

"Give me the green-shelled turtle as well. ”

Xingjiao Zhang immediately said with a happy face: "Thank you, son!"

Seeing that it was approaching dusk, Wen Hao thought that it was almost time for his men to arrive at the city gate one after another.

I didn't rush to look at the bamboo slips I just bought, but walked towards the city gate.
