A landscape painting was hung on the song platform, and the drinkers raised their heads and stretched their necks to look at it carefully, but they didn't know how many of these people could understand it, so they only applauded.

Xu Yihang was also curious about the painting level of this girl from the warbler, so he also looked over, only to see that there were mountains, water, trees and clouds in the painting, the painting was majestic, the river water between the mountains and mountains, the dangerous peaks penetrated the white clouds, and a cypress was erected on the top of the peak, but the form was old, there were not many green leaves, only a few branches poked out of the peak, and the end was a good mountain and river masterpiece.

"Miss Liying is really versatile, Lao Zhou and I, a layman, were impressed by this painting." Zhou Zhong exclaimed.

Xu Yihang said: "Well, it does have some talents. ”

Zhou Zhong said: "You look closely at the painting, there is a bird's nest at the end of the cypress branch, a young bird stands on the edge of the nest and flutters its wings, as if it is about to fall off the cliff, two goshawks outside the nest are far away, and there are two big birds in the two pairs of sharp claws, alas, it should be the parents of the young bird." Such a scene really makes people worry about the young bird. ”

Xu Yihang sneered: "When did Zhou Daxia become so sentimental? ”

Zhou Zhong said: "I will take this picture at the inferior level, how about talking to Miss Liying like this at that time?" ”

Xu Yihang said disdainfully: "Do you really want to waste my three thousand taels of silver in vain?" ”

Zhou Zhong said: "Sooner or later, you and I will be found by the Zhenwu Division and the Iron Horse Gang, and it is not safe to leave this silver for anything." ”

Xu Yihang said: "Isn't it good to distribute it to the people? Three thousand taels of silver can be used for three hundred ordinary families for a year. ”

"Yes, you spare me, don't bother with this silver, Lao Zhou, I will catch a Jiangyang thief in the future and make up for this silver for you." Zhou Zhong replied.

The two of them were worried about this thing outside their bodies, but the song platform over there had already begun to bargain.

Not long after, Liying's landscape painting had already reached a high price of eight hundred taels, and at this time, only a few rich masters were left to insist.

I only heard a private room on the second floor, and a small servant shouted loudly: "Master Su, nine hundred taels." ”

Immediately after that, a small servant in the corner of the fourth floor shouted: "Shopkeeper Wang, nine hundred and fifty taels." ”

On the third floor, another servant shouted: "Chi Gongzi, one thousand taels." ”

In the huge restaurant, only these few people are fighting, and the hundreds of drinkers in the lobby have not even moved, and this price has long exceeded the affordable range of ordinary Jianghu customers.

Zhou Zhong was anxious, and was about to get up to quote, but was dragged back by Xu Yihang.

"Wait, wait." Xu Yihang said.

Zhou Zhong was puzzled: "It's a thousand taels, hurry up and keep up, it'll be too late when other people's money and goods are paid." ”

Xu Yihang said: "Listen to me." ”

While the two were talking, the price had already reached 1,500 taels, and Su Gongzi offered the price on the second floor.

On the third and fourth floors, Chi Gongzi and Wang shopkeepers have no movement.

The short and fat man in gorgeous clothes on the stage shouted, "Are there any other distinguished customers bidding?" If no one bids, Miss Liying's ink treasure will belong to Su Gongzi. ”

At this time, the shopkeeper on the fourth floor leaned out of the private room and said loudly: "Su Gongzi is really courageous, although Miss Liying's paintings are extraordinary, but the price has long exceeded its value, even if it is a masterpiece of painting the Holy Ancient Daozi, it is only a thousand taels of silver, tonight the old man will let you once, don't rob the old man tomorrow, it is not easy for the old man to come to the Central Plains once." ”

A young man's voice came from the private room on the second floor: "Thank you for the success of the shopkeeper." ”

Zhou Zhong was anxious when he saw this situation, so he was about to get up and quote, and was about to open his mouth to shout out 1,600 taels, but he was dragged back by Xu Yihang.

"Two thousand taels!" Xu Yihang got up and said loudly.

This sound of two thousand taels sounded in everyone's ears like thunder, and hundreds of eyes instantly followed the sound to Xu Yihang.

The crowd immediately began to talk about it:

"Where did this hairy boy come from, he dared to compete with Su Shaoxia."

"I don't want to spend money to go upstairs to the private room, and I are crowded in the lobby on the first floor with you and me, with a poor and sour face, what kind of uncle is here."

"Let him raise the price, Lao Tzu wants to see how this kid comes up with two thousand taels of silver."

。。。

The short and fat man on the stage was stunned for a while, and said to Xu Yihang: "This guest should not mess around. ”

Xu Yihang stood there and said coldly: "Two thousand taels." ”

Zhou Zhong was puzzled, how could there be such a price increase, he was already anxiously blowing his beard and glaring.

Xu Yihang explained in a low voice: "If the price is raised by one hundred and one hundred, then Su Gongzi will definitely add silver for the sake of face, and when it is increased to three thousand taels step by step, he will continue to follow, if you and I directly increase the price by one thousand taels, he will be shocked and will weigh whether the price is appropriate, so that you and I will have the opportunity to buy that painting." ”

Zhou Zhong said: "Alas, the king's shopkeeper said just now that the painting of the Holy Ancient Daozi is only a thousand taels of silver, aren't you and I wronged." ”

Xu Yihang replied: "You said that you would spend three thousand taels to buy that painting." ”

Zhou Zhong: "... Okay, as long as you can spend a while with the girl who leaves the warbler, three thousand will be three thousand. ”

At this time, a white-clothed boy walked out of a private room in the middle of the second floor, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his gestures were gentle and elegant, and the boy said gently: "This young man is so courageous, then Su will add another hundred taels." ”

"Three thousand taels." Xu Yihang replied without thinking.

As soon as these words fell, the entire restaurant suddenly fell silent, leaving only a low exclamation.

That Su Gongzi frowned slightly, as if he was slightly angry, but he smiled again in an instant, and said: "Su Weixian, who is in the Xiabei Cang Sect, dare to ask this young man's name?" ”

Xu Yihang said loudly: "Xu Yihang in Shudi." ”

As soon as the three words Xu Yihang came out, the entire restaurant suddenly gasped again, and someone was already whispering:

"This is the young man who killed Huang Chao? Isn't the fierce and vicious man at the same table with him the golden axe Zhou Zhong? I heard that Zhou Zhong provoked Lord Zhenwu Si Xianyu. ”

"Not only did he kill Huang Chao, but he also seriously injured Tao Dingwu, the head of the Flower Spear Gate, and forced back Yu Junan, the three of them, these three are all masters of the local character list!"

"I heard that the East China Sea Gang annexed the Wanchuan Gang, and there are also shadows of these two people."

。。。

Su Weixian was stunned when he heard this, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be Brother Xu, I have admired it for a long time, I have long heard of Brother Xu's chivalrous name, and today I saw the dragon and phoenix among the people, and this landscape painting belongs to Brother Xu." ”

Xu Yihang clasped his fists and replied, "Thank you, Brother Su." ”

This Su Weixian is close to Xu Yihang, how can Xu Yihang be cold-faced? The two of them seemed to be old acquaintances who had not seen each other for many years, and they actually called each other brothers.

In this gap, I don't know how many people left the restaurant and disappeared into the night, Xu Yihang, Zhou Zhong, these are important people that several forces are looking for.

At the same time, in a room on the seventh floor of the restaurant, Li Ying looked at the lobby on the first floor through the window lattice, her eyes locked on Xu Yihang, and said, "I must let him come up tonight." ”

"Yes." A maid replied softly.

In the lobby of the restaurant, the short and fat man who presided over the auction of paintings had arrived at Xu Yihang's table, Xu Yihang drank tea by himself, and Zhou Zhong proudly took out three thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms and smiled.

The short and fat man said with a smile on his face: "Please also invite Xu Shaoxia to come to the seventh floor and have a meeting with Miss Liying." ”

"What?!" Zhou Zhong was shocked, "This money is from Lao Tzu, how can you let him go?" ”

Xu Yihang raised his head and said: "I bought the painting for this Zhou Daxia, or invite Zhou Daxia to go, I really don't have any interest in Miss Liying." ”

The short and fat man still had a smile on his face and said, "It's the first time the two of you have come to my Sihai Tower, right?" ”

Zhou Zhong replied: "What's the matter? What about the first time? ”

The short and fat man replied with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, Zhou Daxia, we have a rule in the Sihai Building, the auction object, whoever quotes the price is the one who buys it, and whoever buys it will naturally go up to the seventh floor." ”

"You?" Zhou Zhong pointed at the short and fat man and then pointed at Xu Yihang, "Good boy, in the end, this benefit will be given to you again." ”

The short and fat man said again: "If Xu Shaoxia doesn't want to get together with Miss Liying, then you have the right to give up, the painting is here, please put it away." ”

Xu Yihang didn't raise his eyelids.

Zhou Zhong was in a hurry, and said to the short and fat man: "Don't, if that's the case, isn't the three thousand taels of old Zhou and me in vain?" Are you the shopkeeper of this restaurant? ”

The short and fat man replied: "Xiao Ke's surname is Wei, he is the manager of this restaurant, what else does Zhou Daxia command?" ”

Zhou Zhong said: "Trouble Manager Wei to talk to Miss Liying, make an exception, and say that this silver was paid by Lao Zhou." ”

Steward Wei replied: "The rules are like this, I hope Zhou Daxia will not be embarrassed." ”

"What a bird rule! I'm mad at me! Zhou Zhong said angrily.

Steward Wei was still smiling and persuaded: "Don't be angry, don't forget where this is." ”

"Huh?" Zhou Zhong, a reckless man, could be threatened, and he was about to have a seizure but heard Steward Wei say: "Zhou Daxia is chivalrous and courageous, and he got rid of the evil man Huang Chao for the rivers and lakes, and several girls in the restaurant are deeply admired, and they have left a private room on the second floor for Zhou Daxia, with a little wine and delicacies, please move." ”

Zhou Zhong's anger instantly disappeared a lot when he heard this, and he asked seriously: "How many girls admire me?" ”

"Exactly." Steward Wei replied.

"Okay, lead the way." Zhou Zhong glanced at Xu Yihang, and when he saw that Xu Yihang acquiesced, he wanted to go up to the second floor in style.

Steward Wei led Zhou Zhong to leave, but Xu Yihang was left in the cold, and Steward Wei turned around and said, "Xu Shaoxia really doesn't go to the seventh floor?" ”

Xu Yihang waved his hand.

"Could it be that Xu Shaoxia is not interested in Zhenyuan?" Steward Wei said again.

"Zhenyuan?" Xu Yihang was surprised.

Xu Yihang secretly thought: "That woman is really not simple. ”

"Okay, please lead the way."

Zhou Zhong happily went to the private room on the second floor, Xu Yihang was led up to the seventh floor by a maid, and the two were temporarily separated like this, and they were not afraid of being hacked.

In the room on the seventh floor, the Oiran Liying had already changed into a white gauze thin coat and stepped on the thick carpet with her bare feet.

The maid led Xu Yihang into the door and exited, and there were only two people in the room at the moment.

"Xu Shaoxia is young and promising, and he can capture and kill Huang Chao at such a young age, which is really admirable." Liying's lips opened lightly and said slowly.

Xu Yihang has never liked to beat around the bush, and said directly: "I'm here for Zhenyuan." ”

Liying said: "Xu Shaoxia is really different from ordinary people, he spent a lot of money and didn't cherish this time in front of him, just for the legend of the rivers and lakes. ”

Xu Yihang said: "Legend? ”

Li Ying paced to Xu Yihang's front and said, "Yes, Zhenyuan." ”

Xu Yihang said: "Does the girl know what this true yuan is?" ”

Liying said: "I know, but Shaoxia's temperament is too bad, and I don't want to talk about it." ”

Xu Yihang was indeed a little puzzled, as soon as he entered the door, he inquired about Zhenyuan, and did not put Liying in his eyes at all, which was tantamount to a great humiliation for a woman who was proud of her beauty.
