Chapter 31: The Inn's Auction
The Western Desert, located at the northern tip of the Eastern Continent, has a dry climate, raging winds, sparsely populated, and vast expansive, and even a few alien beasts can survive here. Today, one of the deserts is busy and popular, and it is the closest town to the middle of the Western Desert, Huangsha Town.
Because of the harsh environment in Huangsha Town, remnant rock walls can be seen everywhere, almost in a state of abandonment, and only one bimonthly inn in the town is still operating. And all the people are going there, because there is going to be a small auction there today. In the early days of the desert city, everyone wants to see if they can get something related to it at this auction.
The wind and sand gusted, the yellow earthen walls of the Shuangyue Inn were covered with bunches of peppers and corn, the cloth flags on the flagpole swayed from side to side, and the originally empty field around was full of tents. The tent camp was full of people, many of them expeditions organized by mercenary teams and some merchants. But more often than not, it is the bandit group who are disheveled and foul-mouthed, and they are the frequent visitors to this Twin Moon Inn.
The hall of the inn was brightly lit and full of seats, and the corridors upstairs and downstairs were crowded with people, most of whom were the leaders of the major teams and the wealthy businessmen who financed the expedition, and the rest of the minions were crowded outside.
A small high platform was erected in the center of the hall on the first floor, and the innkeeper Qin Yueying, who was bright and bright, swaying in abundance, was smiling at the group of wolf-like men in front of her. She wasn't afraid that someone would make trouble here, because even if someone had a rusty brain and did something stupid, without her hands, she would be cut into meat sauce by a group of fierce warriors outside the door!
"Boss, what good goods have been stocked up this year, hurry up and take them out!" called a big man with a scumbag face.
"Yes, yes, let's get started, boss, you're really anxious!" everyone in the audience was busy laughing and laughing.
"What are you yelling about, what are you yelling about, look at you monkey anxious, how long has it been since you have seen a woman?! Things are sure that you are satisfied, as long as you have enough money in your pocket!" Qin Yueying's eyes lit up, her hands crossed her waist, and she pointed her fingers and scolded one by one. The indigo embroidered skirt was lifted from time to time, which caused a group of rough men in the audience to be in high mood and elation.
The old man leaned against the window of the east wing on the second floor, with his hands in his sleeves, looking at the lively scene downstairs gloomily. I thought to myself, these guys in the audience who were so amused that their heads were congested will definitely spare no effort to raise each other's prices later, and the benefits will be reaped by the Shuangyue Inn. Hehe, that boss lady's heart is really black, not much worse than the old man and me.
In the back room, Yang Rui sat on the wooden table next to the window with his back against the wall, rubbing the pendant around his neck in his hand, his eyes closed, and he felt the atmosphere outside. Although he can't see the situation on the stage here, he can judge the quality of the auction items by his voice and sense of the flow of vitality. As for the bidding operation, it is completely handed over to Gui Xinhai, who is only separated from him by paper at this moment.
"Return, when the time is right, throw out the map in your hand, change whatever you want, and let those hot-headed guys grab it themselves. ”
"Tsk, that's what I wanted, old man, but I have to change something decent. ”
The two exchanged quietly and quietly, "In addition, on the south and west sides of the first floor and the north side of the corridor on the second floor, there are a few places where the breath feels calm and unchaotic, pay more attention." ”
"Everyone is also looking at us, hehe, don't worry, none of them can run away!"
Late last night, Yang Rui fulfilled the wish of the old man of the demon scorpion, and counted the treasures he had snatched from Xiao Long of the Mobei mercenary group with him, and sure enough, he picked out a lot of good things. Except for an iron plate engraved with runes and made of black metal, he handed over the rest to the old man of the demon scorpion, along with the brocade bag, part of which was used as the capital of today's auction, and the rest was at his disposal.
When Gui Xinhai got the bag back, his face was full of ugly smiles, although he promised to hand over his savings over the years to this young man who called himself "Singing Snake", but who could really be willing to do it? So today's attitude is really upside down, and it can be said that Yang Rui is completely obedient.
And Yang Rui himself was actually very satisfied after getting the god-level heaven-level combat skills taught by the Qingfeng Sword and Lu Rong, but when he saw the iron card engraved with runes, he felt the fluctuations of karmic fire on it, and he stayed together. I'm going to wait for the auction to be over and study it, maybe it's another powerful formation.
"Boss, you're really lively here, even our Mobei business has borrowed a lot of light these days!" A loud voice came from the door of the inn, and following the sound, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman walked in with a smile on his face, this person's appearance belongs to the type that can no longer be found when thrown into the pile, but the eyes are fine.
The merchant walked towards the high platform as he spoke, followed by a few people, Xiao Long, Mo Yun and others among them. This Mobei merchant is the sponsor of the Mobei mercenary group, and it is another local snake in this Huangsha Town, and everyone naturally exited a road and let them go.
"Yo, shopkeeper, look at what you said, how can our small inn have such a big face, but we just borrowed a place for everyone to rest and exchange something. I have to take care of everyone today!" Qin Yueying smiled back and waved towards the group who entered the door.
Walking to the front of the high platform, the shopkeeper pulled out a black-clothed young man from behind him, fifteen years old, not tall, with thick eyebrows and sword eyes, high cheekbones, showing a thin and resolute face.
"This is my dog Ma Yun, and I will bring you to see the world today. The shopkeeper smiled and introduced, "Come, Yun'er, come and see Aunt Qin!"
"Qin, Aunt Qin......" The young man was obviously not used to the scene of so many people, and called out a little shyly.
"Oh, it turned out to be the eldest young master of our Ma family, I heard that he broke through to the medicine realm before he was fifteen years old, and he was really a hero out of a young man, don't call him an aunt, call me sister!" Qin Yueying twisted her seductive waist and deliberately teased the shy young man, causing everyone next to her to laugh.
"The proprietress looks beautiful and beautiful, I feel sorry for it, but I haven't made up my mind, is it possible that I have fallen in love with this tender seedling today......?
"Go, go, go! The dog can't spit out ivory!"
But laughing aside, this thin and shy black-clothed young man was able to break through to the drug realm before the age of fifteen, although it was indispensable for the horse shopkeeper to spend a lot of money, but it must be said that he was also a genius-level figure, which was really impressive.
"Sister Qin......"
"Fifth brother, that old thief is upstairs!" Suddenly, a girl with a good figure and a horse braid behind Ma Yun stared at a hunchbacked and bald old man in black on the second floor, and pulled Xiao Long's sleeve and said loudly!
Everyone looked at the second floor curiously, and they all wanted to see who had offended the Mobei mercenary group? But when they saw that it was the old man of the demon scorpion, they took their eyes back one by one, because the events of the past few days let everyone know that this person is not easy to mess with.
"Qing'er, there is a horse shopkeeper here today, and everything is under command. Another woman with shallow eyebrows and hair tied up, and the woman in white clothes quickly pulled the girl aside and reprimanded her in a low voice. It turned out to be the second daughter who was attacked together that night, and Mu Shanshan and Gong Qing'er also came here.
"That's it, today our brothers are all blocking the door, see where the old man can go!" Mo Yun, who was rough and rude-faced, took over and glared at the old man with a fierce scorpion.
However, Xiao Long, who was wearing a green coat, looked calm, and said to those people without raising his head: "I have other tasks today, don't mess around here, and the account that night will be solved when I leave this Twin Moon Inn!"
The old man of the demon scorpion stood on the second floor, and naturally recognized them at a glance. However, he just smiled gloomily and looked away, just a few small shrimps that slipped through the net, this Mobei mercenary group was not strong enough to make him jealous.
"Hmph, damn old thief, let's see!" Glancing at the old man with a scorpion again, Gong Qing'er turned around and followed the team to find a place to sit down in front of the stage.
A little back on the west side of the hall, Wei Zhong and his party were ostensibly busy laughing and chatting with the people around them, but in fact, they had been paying attention to the movements in the inn.
"Big boss, that old man seems to have a bit of a holiday with the Mobei mercenary group. Liu Si whispered beside Wei Zhong.
"Hmph, isn't it just a festival? According to the news, the old man of the demon scorpion attacked the camp of the Mobei mercenary group, and also killed their three masters, this revenge is great!" said the jade-faced knife Zhao Maid glanced at the second floor with a smile on his face.
Wei Zhong nodded and made a gesture, and one of his subordinates behind him immediately squeezed towards the Mobei merchant group. He walked behind the shopkeeper and quietly handed over a note, and then squeezed it back. After reading the note, the shopkeeper put it away, and nodded secretly towards Wei Zhong. Wei Zhong touched his goatee, smiled at the other side, turned his head again, and continued to talk to the people around him.
In a corner on the south side of the hall, Yu Jiu and Yu Ji restrained their breath, buried their bodies deeply in the black flannel cloak, and quietly observed the people in the inn. At this time, not far from them, there were two young men in green shirts and white robes with bamboo hats on their heads, who were chatting quietly with their heads down.
"Hmph, what's so strange about entering the medicine realm at the age of fifteen, this person who the place really doesn't have much knowledge. ”
"But no, if the palace master hadn't asked us to find that thing, who would be fooling around with this group of fools here?"
"Alas, this kind of undifficult task is so boring!"
"Don't be too careless, if you can't complete the task, the palace master won't spare us easily. ”
"If this task can't be completed, then I will invite myself to the ancient cave of Kunshan Mountain to mine, I have carefully observed it just now, the strongest people here are only the strength of the peak of the Yuan Dan realm, you and I can do it alone!"
"Well, later, as long as the goal is determined, you will do it, and you don't have to be polite to the people here, so as not to cause extraneous complications. ”
(If you want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.)
