Chapter 38: Misfortune
"Of course it's not abrupt, presumably under the auspices of the wind chime girl, this gamble will definitely end perfectly. Yuan Chen smiled and nodded at the wind chime in response.
Duan Yuan, who came back to his senses on the side, looked at the two who sang and harmonized, although there was anger in his heart, but the matter was decided, no matter how he quibbled now, the effect would not be too great, after all, there are almost no people who can help Zi Zaitang in this situation today, and it can even be said that the people who have not taken the opportunity to fall into the well are good.
"I admit this gamble, Yuanchen can prescribe a five-grade elixir to count you as capable, but the mountain does not turn around, we will have a period later, I will have the opportunity to calculate with you in the future, if my guess is right, you should participate in the elixir conference the day after tomorrow, and then you will regret angering me today." Duan Yuan glanced at Yuan Chen and grinned at him, and without even waiting for the wind chime to announce the outcome of the bet, he threw the elixir in his hand on the ground on the side, and then turned around and left with the man surnamed Zhou and the people who were in the hall.
Looking at the people of Zizai Hall who went away, Yuan Chen's heart also had a trace of fluctuations, although he won this bet today, there will be a lot of trouble in the future, after all, Zizai Hall is the head snake force of Qingsu City, and Yuan Chen will also participate in the elixir conference in the near future, and so on, these are also giving Yuan Chen a headache.
"Yuan Gongzi, Feng Chime is here to congratulate you on winning the biggest prize in this gambling event, and at the same time becoming the biggest winner in the whole gambling game. After Duan Yuan and the others walked away, the mood of the wind chimes on the field was also relaxed.
Miss Feng laughed, she just gambled on the five-grade elixir by luck, and maybe she didn't have that luck next time. Yuan Chen also responded with a smile.
"I know what Yuan Gongzi is worried about, you can rest assured, this time it is the rules that Zizai Hall changed by himself, and the gamble he promised, if they dare to secretly interfere with your Chamber of Commerce, then our Qingsu Pavilion as the organizer will not spare them, we can guarantee that you will not be disturbed by them before the elixir conference officially starts, you should be regarded as a reward for our Qingsu Pavilion to be angry with you for us." The wind chimes whispered in Yuan Chen's ear like a silver bell.
"Then I'll thank the wind chime girl first. Yuan Chen was also relieved when he heard this, and hurriedly hugged his fists at the wind chime.
"Oh, by the way, Yuan Gongzi, if you want to sell those elixirs you won from Duan Yuan, you must choose our Qingsu Pavilion. The wind chime winked at Yuan Chen, and Yuan Chen could clearly see the full desire for money in his eyes.
"Hehe, that's of course, it's an honor to be able to make friends with Qingsu Pavilion, one of the three major forces in Qingsu City. Yuan Chen responded with a smile.
"Then it's decided, okay, I'm going to continue to do my job, the last round of this gambling drug activity is not over yet, the free hall of the village is gone, and it's my turn to host the scene." The wind chime glanced at his small mouth, if it weren't for Yuan Chen's extraordinary concentration, he really couldn't help the charm of the wind chime.
······
With Yuan Chen betting on the biggest reward of this gambling drug activity, today's gambling drug activity has also come to an end, and there is only one mysterious VIP room in the center that has not participated in the drug gambling activity.
The mysterious VIP room was also sent out in accordance with the rules under the auspices of the wind chimes on the field to participate in the final gambling medicine, of course, there was no accident, the mysterious VIP room took the last remaining four-grade elixir snake Huxin, and this time the gambling drug activity also officially came to an end.
Just as the dignitaries present were about to leave their seats, a loud voice suddenly broke the order present.
"That little brother Yuanchen, don't be in a hurry to leave, Lu Rong of the Lu family in the imperial capital is below, I don't know if I can discuss something with your Chamber of Commerce. A burly man in an ink shirt appeared in front of Yuan Chen and said with a smile.
This sudden appearance attracted almost everyone around to watch, and even the people who had just stepped out of the gambling venue couldn't help but turn back and want to see the dignity of the Lu family in the imperial capital, after all, this was the first time that the people of the top ten families in the imperial capital had officially appeared in Qingsu City.
······
"Sure enough, it is a member of the Lu family, one of the top ten families in the imperial capital, it seems that those recent rumors are true, and as far as I know, this Lu family Lu Rong is very famous among the Lu family, and it seems that he is the henchman of the young head of the Lu family of this generation. ”
"If my guess is correct, the Lu family must be interested in the five-grade elixir cold soul liquid in that Yuan Chen's hand. ”
"That's for sure, can they still be interested in that Yuanchen, this time the Chamber of Commerce called the Treasure Pavilion is miserable, even if they don't want to trade, they have to trade, who let their things be taken by the Lu family, it's really a blessing." ”
·······
The whispers of the people around made Shi Meng, who had originally won the gambling and drug activities, fall into the cold valley again, and the same as those people around them, don't look at the Shi family still has a lot of say in Yangyan Town, but they can only bow their heads in front of the real big forces.
"I don't know what Brother Lu Rong wants, we are people from a small place, if the Lu family in the imperial capital wants to do something big, we are also more than willing to do it. Yuan Chen said to Lu Rong with a simple face.
"What can our Lu family do with your help, you also think too highly of yourself, open the skylight and say something, we have to buy the five-grade elixir cold soul liquid in your hand, of course, the price will not make you suffer, I hope you will think about it and give us a satisfactory answer." Two more young men in black shirts stood a little behind Lu Rong half a step behind, and one of the young men in black shirts and black hair said disdainfully.
Hearing the Lu family's not very polite words, the onlookers present also sweated for Yuan Chen and the others, and it was no wonder that they were so unconfident, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides was like a world apart, and Yuan Chen and the others had no room for resistance at all.
"Young Master Lu Rong, I am the person in charge of the Treasure Pavilion, since the Lu family wants to bid for this five-grade elixir cold soul liquid, I don't know how much the nobles can give?" Cheng Zhen behind Yuan Chen saw that there was a hint of stalemate in the situation, and one person stepped forward to block everyone behind him and talked to Lu Rong.
"We can give you up to three hundred spirit crystals here, and if you can accept it, you can trade it, of course, if you can't accept it, then we can only have some regrets. The person who answered Cheng Zhen was not Lu Rong but the blue-haired man in the black shirt on Lu Rong's right hand, he said that he was regretful, but there was no trace of worry about the failure of the transaction in his eyes, but more of a coldness and cruelty.
Obviously, even if Yuanchen's group of people don't make this deal with the Lu family, the Lu family will not easily let go of the cold soul liquid they need, killing people and taking money in this world is a normal behavior, if you don't have the corresponding strength to protect, even if you are lucky enough to win the jackpot, in the end it will only be a wedding dress for others.
Not to mention Cheng Zhen and Shi Meng, two people who have been in business for a long time, even Yuan Chen and Yunxi on the side understood the meaning of the Lu family.
Cheng Zhen looked back at Shi Meng behind him, and the meaning of the inquiry in his eyes was very strong, although the Treasure Pavilion was Cheng Allah's business to the outside, but in the real matter, it must be Shi Meng who took the idea.
Shi Meng also understood Cheng Zhen's secret words, and nodded imperceptibly, with their current strength, not to mention the Lu family in the imperial capital, maybe even the Zizai Hall where Duan Yuan was just now was far inferior, and it was just a dead end for ants to provoke elephants without their own strength.
After Cheng Zhen received Shi Meng's opinion, even if he was very reluctant in his heart, he had to extract the proposal from the Lu family.
"What is your decision? Rest assured, we are not forced to buy and sell, hehe. Lu Rong looked at Cheng Zhen and the others, who seemed to have a unified opinion, and said with a smile.
"Our Chamber of Commerce can sell the Five-Grade Elixir Cold Soul Liquid to you, but we need to trade with Qingsu Pavilion as a fair place. Cheng Zhen responded.
"Of course it's okay, let's make a deal now, and we should go after the deal is done. After Lu Rong finished speaking, he threw the three hundred spirit crystals he had prepared in his hand to the presiding wind chimes on the field.
Feng Chime also knew that the current atmosphere was wrong, and no longer spoke casually, but directly arranged for someone to hand over the objects of both parties to the other party for verification, and asked people to record the transaction and hand over the receipts to both parties.
Lu Rong and the others also waved away with satisfaction when they saw the cold soul liquid that finally arrived in their hands, as for whether the price they gave would offend a small chamber of commerce, they didn't care at all, and even in their hearts, they didn't even want to pay for the three hundred spirit crystals.
What happened every moment and every second in this world was unexpected, Shi Meng and the others, who were originally excited because Yuan Chen had won the highest reward of this event, but now after Lu Rong's incident, the original joy was also gone, and in the end, it was just that after Yuan Chen traded a few elixirs with Qingsu Pavilion under the introduction of the wind chime, everyone in the Treasure Pavilion left in a hurry.
··········
Inside the Qingsu Pavilion
At this time, the Qingsu Pavilion has returned to its former style, and many local and foreign medicine pickers are still conducting various bargaining discussions in the Qingsu Pavilion as in the past, and the whole pavilion is full of noise and noise.
At this time, the second floor of Qingsu Pavilion was looking at the wind chimes in the pavilion, but her mind was not on this at all, but her eyes were dull looking at the direction where Yuanchen and the others left.
"What are you thinking, Wind Chimes? A middle-aged man slowly walked from behind the wind chime.
"Ahh Pavilion Lord, my subordinates didn't think about anything, I was just sighing that this world is really unfair, is the so-called Ten Great Families of the Imperial Capital really so powerful? Isn't the five-grade elixir three hundred spirit crystals a trick? Not to mention its rarity, even if it is an ordinary five-grade elixir, its actual price should be above 10 million gold coins, and it is at least about 1,000 when converted into spirit crystals, but those people are..." Wind Chime, who came back to his senses, said angrily.
