Chapter Twenty-Three: Bizarre

"Lu Li!"

"What Lu Li, will you elaborate?" Qu was happy and hurriedly asked.

Shen Yi suddenly straightened up and made a straight face: "How can I let you know in vain, you have to promise to help me cancel the marriage contract with the Lu family!" At this moment, Qu Gaozi should do anything, besides, he is so drunk now, it may not be possible if he remembers it tomorrow.

It is rumored that after Qu Zi threw himself into the river, the Empress Dowager Xuan felt his loyalty, and then ordered the craftsman to cast a sword for it, and the words were also strange, the craftsman did not know where to find a glazed glowstone, and melted it into a sharp sword. On the day of the sword, there were seven colors of streamer in the sky, and what was even more surprising was that the blade of this sword was transparent and colorless, only the hilt of the sword was visible, and it was held as if there was nothing, killing people invisibly! Empress Dowager Qi sealed the sword in Qu Zi's mound until three months ago, when it was dug up by a group of thieves. ”

Seeing that Qu Gao was fascinated, Shen Yi smiled proudly and said: "Don't think about it, Wang Lang and the Lu family are eyeing Lu Lijian, and Brother Qu's wealth is not as good as the two families, so it's useless to think about it." Thinking that Qu Gao would not be able to get his wish in the end, Shen Yi smiled and drank another glass of wine.

After several twists and turns, he finally inquired from Shen Yi's mouth about where Lu Lijian was.

It turned out that this gang of thieves consigned Lu Lijian to the Jade Xuan, the first antique shop in Xiangyang, and the power behind this Jade Xuan was extremely powerful, and it was rumored to be the property of the Xie family of Chen County.

Yu Shixuan took over this business, and notified the major families in Xiangyang that they were scheduled to auction this sword in the underground market of Yushixuan five days later, but many families were reluctant to join in the excitement when they heard that Wang Shou and the Lu family wanted this sword, and there were many people, even if they knew that they could not get it, they also wanted to take a look at this magical invisible sword from a distance. As for those who want to snatch it through other means, only Qu Gao is alone.

In the evening five days later, the sky was gloomy, and Qu Gao, dressed in black, wearing a gauze hat to cover his face, appeared at the door of Yushixuan. In the past few days, I have inquired that there are many unsightly transactions in the underground market of Yushixuan, so it is not surprising that it is easy for people to cover up, and the people of Yushixuan do not care about the identity of the visitor, they only ask about business.

Follow the waiter through a deep and dark tunnel, about half an hour, see the lights in front of you, is an extremely wide underground warehouse secret room, the secret room is about five hundred steps in radius, walk in and see, there are two or three hundred people in the secret room.

In the middle of the seat, Wang Shou was also dressed in black clothes at night, with black hair like satin, tied with a piece of black silk, at this time his eyes were lazy, leaning on the seat, waiting for the auction to begin. Not far from his side, there was a middle-aged man in a black-patterned long-sleeved robe, Qu Gao guessed that he should be the patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Wending. This Lu Wending is also too idle, and there are no martial artists in the family, so he wants to grab Lu Li's sword, it is said that he wants to shoot it as an heirloom.

Around the room, there were many golden-armored warriors, who should be the guards of Yushixuan, and among the rest, there were rich businessmen, people from the rivers and lakes, and even many officials in the city. Seeing a handsome boy walking on the high platform, holding a long box in his hand, Qu Gaozhi's auction was about to start, and he silently retreated to a corner.

"Today's first item, starting in the Qin Dynasty, came out of Qu Zi's tomb, an invisible sword known as the strange land, Lu Li!" After the introduction of the son, as soon as he opened the treasure box, there was nothing in it, and there was a sigh in the crowd. Seeing this, the boy was very proud, suddenly reached into the box with his right hand, and threw the treasure box into the air, his right hand arced, and with a "boom", the treasure box was cut into two pieces in the air and fell to the ground. There was a burst of exclamations from the audience, and Childe smiled, and then said: "This sword is rumored to be cast by a falling spar outside the sky, although it is invisible, it is extremely sharp, and the iron is sharpened like clay. Prices start at three thousand taels. ”

"Five thousand!" Lu Wending called the price first.

There was a lot of talk in the crowd, but then it fell silent again.

"Ten thousand!" This voice was as warm as water, but the deterrent power was like a raging wave, and the king also called the price.

Lu Wending's face turned blue, he didn't want Wang Shou's hand to be so big, but he was determined to win Lu Lijian's ambition on this trip, although he was fighting with the Wang family of the highest gate in Xiangyang City, but Wang Shou was just a small child, and there was no limit to the financial resources he could use, and in his hands, he controlled the entire Lu family!

"Ten thousand twelve!" Lu Wending was already sweating on his forehead.

"Fifteen thousand!" Wang Shou still had a faint smile on his face.

The discussion in the audience was even louder, the price of 15,000 taels had already far exceeded the value of this sword, and families like Wang and Lu had this sword just as a plaything, and everyone sighed, but they couldn't help but be in awe of the financial resources of the Wang and Lu families!

"Twenty thousand!" Lu Wending almost shouted out this number, before he went out, he boasted in front of the other elders in the clan that he would get this sword. But even if it is as powerful as the Lu Clan, this number is very staggering. Turning his head and staring at Wang Shou fiercely, Wang Shou smiled back, and said lightly: "I won't call anymore." ”

Lu Wending breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly regretted that the price was too high, and he got a plaything for 20,000 taels of silver, and with his businessman's mind, he was really at a loss. But even if the offer has been made, there is no turning back.

After Lu Lijian, there were other treasures, but Qu Gao was not interested, seeing Lu Wending and Wang Shou leaving one after another, Qu Gao also sneaked into the shadows.
