Chapter 42: The Threat of the Desert People
Ouyang Yu didn't know why Cheng Yuxi suddenly asked about the auction house, he originally thought that Cheng Yuxi was rarely interested in the auction house, so he asked: "Speaking of which, it's about noon, I plan to go to the auction house to book tickets, do you want to go with me?" β
Cheng Yuxi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Are you planning to book a ticket for the Tianzi room?" β
Ouyang Yu nodded, and then said: "Although the price of Tianzi Room is relatively expensive, the location is very good, and you can see the details of some treasures. β
"No, we don't want to book a sky-shaped room." Cheng Yuxi replied decisively.
Ouyang Yu didn't understand why Cheng Yuxi suddenly said such a thing, but after thinking for a while, he looked a little embarrassed, and then said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate." β
Cheng Yuxi also saw Ouyang Yu's embarrassment, could it be that there was something else she didn't know about? Cheng Yuxi asked, "Do you have to book a Tianzi room?" β
Ouyang Yu sighed, and said a little helplessly: "Miss Cheng, I won't tell you, the contemptible people are weak, in order to survive in this Xiao City with mixed strength, we must go with other people like me, and now if we buy other rooms, then those who buy the Tianzi room are probably ......."
Having said this, Cheng Yuxi also understood what Ouyang Yu meant. In the final analysis, it is still a terrible thing to worry that the abnormal behavior of the two of them will cause a crisis of trust between a group of people, you know, at a critical time, a small snowflake can cause a huge avalanche.
After Cheng Yuxi understood the meaning of Ouyang Yu's words, he quickly realized the problem, and more importantly, Cheng Yuxi had no solution.
So she had to suppress the news she had obtained for the time being, and wait until the day of the auction to improvise.
Just as Cheng Yuxi was about to turn around and leave, Zhao Ziyi rushed back from outside, and after he hurriedly walked upstairs, he bumped into Cheng Yuxi and Ouyang Yu.
Ouyang Yu saw that Zhao Ziyi's expression was in a hurry, as if something big had happened, so he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhao, why are you so anxious?" β
Zhao Ziyi's face was a little solemn, and he stepped forward and whispered: "I just learned the news that there is a fire in the warehouse dedicated to storing treasures by the auction house in the west of the city!" β
Cheng Yuxi's eyes shrank, and she said, "When did the fire start?" β
Zhao Ziyi shook his head, and then said: "I don't know about this, but the only thing that is certain is that the fire was not very long, and I only learned about it when I saw that the people on the street were in a hurry." β
Cheng Yuxi's face became a little solemn, she suddenly remembered Xiao Si's behavior of leaving suddenly, and thought: Didn't Xiao Si learn about this matter through some method, and then he would set off immediately? If that's the caseβ
I'm afraid that Xiao Si will be in danger!
Cheng Yuxi's mind quickly flashed Xiao Si's faint face, she immediately made a decision, and immediately said, "I'm going to take a look!" β
"No way!"
"No, you can't!"
These two voices sounded almost at the same time, and I saw Zhao Ziyi glance at Cheng Yuxi, and then said: "The fire in the warehouse is very fierce, what are you going to do alone?" Miss Cheng, it's not that Zhao is dissatisfied with you, please remember that she is a woman! β
It seems that Zhao Ziyi is indeed a little anxious, and his words will inevitably be heavier, after saying these two sentences, he also realized his problem, and then said in a soft voice: "If you really want to know the specific situation, wouldn't it be good for me to find you a storyteller tomorrow?" β
Cheng Yuxi didn't have time to explain anything to Zhao Ziyi, she pressed Zhao Ziyi's shoulder and pushed Ouyang Yu directly, and then ran out without saying a word!
Ouyang Yu and Zhao Ziyi were dumbfounded, they never knew that Cheng Yuxi, who seemed to be weak and weak and had no interest in anything, could run so fast!
Cheng Yuxi just ran to the door, but he ran into the wind and fog, this sensitive little girl must have realized something, and ran out anxiously with her small bamboo basket on her back.
Sure enough, as soon as he ran to the door of the inn, Cheng Yuxi saw a black smoke rising from the west side of the city, billowing away, straight into the sky. The pedestrians on the road were all in a hurry, and they were talking about something as they ran in the direction of the black smoke.
Cheng Yuxi did not hesitate and immediately followed.
After running for a while, Cheng Yuxi followed the crowd around the corner, and came to the burning warehouse, only to see a thick black smoke almost filling everyone's sight, and some people in black suits were running back and forth inside, as if they wanted to save what could be saved and reduce some losses.
Cheng Yuxi briefly glanced around the crowd, but she didn't see Xiao Si's figure, just as she was about to take a look elsewhere, she suddenly bumped into a man!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorryβ" Cheng Yuxi raised his head, and before he finished speaking, he paused.
The man in front of him was unusually handsome, a pair of pale gray eyes stared at Cheng Yuxi coldly, and what was even more concerning was that this man was wearing a half-iron mask, with some patterns engraved on it, like a blooming poppy.
This iron mask, and this dark blue dress......
"Borrowed!" I saw walking in the direction of the man, and then when I passed him, I asked in a low voice: "Where is Xiaosi?" β
The man's originally calm eyes made a slight wave because of the name, he lowered his eyes to look at the woman in front of him, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly there was a commotion not far away!
I saw that something in the warehouse exploded with a bang, and a few people who were relatively close were directly blown away, and then fell heavily to the ground!
The man's face changed, and he pushed Cheng Yuxi away and quickly ran through the crowd to the place where the explosion occurred!
Cheng Yuxi wanted to keep up, but found that he was hindered by layers of panicked crowds, let alone keep up, and even if he wanted to take a step forward, it was difficult!
How the hell did that man get there?
Cheng Yuxi thought resentfully.
At this moment, a dark blue figure flew by from the corner of the warehouse!
"Could it be Xiao Si!"
Cheng Yuxi thought about it, and then she immediately retreated and withdrew from the crowd, and ran towards the place where the dark blue figure disappeared!
It turns out that next to this warehouse, there is even a cave.
There is a very narrow walkway here, because it has just rained, and there is some standing water in the lower part of the walkway.
When Cheng Yuxi ran over, she unsurprisingly saw a petite dark blue back, and when she saw that Xiao Si was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked into the alley, wanting to ask Xiao Si about something.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yuxi just walked into the alley, and was stunned by the scene he saw in front of him!
I saw a blonde man wearing a golden-white robe, holding a beautiful and sharp scimitar against a girl's neck, while a cute looking small bamboo basket was thrown to the ground in embarrassment, and several small cyan snakes were trembling inside.
And Xiao Si was standing opposite the man, looking at him coldly.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Xiao Si with a cold look on the other side and Cheng Yuxi who appeared in a hurry, and sobbed.
Xiao Si frowned and said, "Luyer, let her go." β
The man who was called Louyle looked at Xiao Si expressionlessly, and then said slowly: "It's fair to exchange my things for it." β
Xiao Si's face was very gloomy, and she said in a cold voice, "I think I've told you many times!" That's not your thing! β
When Louyle heard this, he smiled cruelly, his blue eyes brewing with a furious storm, and the scimitar in his hand pressed closer to the neck of the wind mist.
"What do you want?" Cheng Yuxi slowly walked out from behind Xiao Si, and then she looked at the man in front of her calmly and said, "You should have come from the desert, right?" The rules on our side have always been very simple, there are things to talk about, and then we can do it after talking about it. β
Xiao Si glanced at Cheng Yuxi with some gratitude, and then quietly pulled out the dart he pinned to his waist.
"Oh? Talk? Lou Yier seemed to be attracted by Cheng Yuxi's words, his blue eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Cheng Yuxi emotionlessly, and whispered, "Do you know what I need?" Just talk to me? β
Cheng Yuxi shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said, "Don't I know if you say it?" β
Lou Yier sneered, and didn't seem to want to say anything more to Cheng Yuxi.
Fengwu had also calmed down at this time, she sobbed in a low voice, looking like she was very frightened, but Cheng Yuxi, who had been with Fengwu for a while, knew that this was Fengwu quietly summoning her own snake!
Cheng Yuxi forced his gaze to take his eyes off the snakes, and then heard Xiao Si whisper, "What he wants is a piece of jade pendant in the shape of a flame." β
Lou Yier raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Si, and said meaningfully: "You really know." β
"......" Xiao Si was silent for a while, and then said, "This is my jade pendant, not yours." β
"Snort." Lou Yile sneered and said coldly, "There are only two pieces of the Holy Tattoo, one of which disappeared with the death of the Holy Maiden, and the other has been kept by me. When we first entered Xiao City, we had a fight with you, and then my jade pendant disappeared, but this jade pendant appeared on you! β
