Chapter 94: The Visitor
Liu'er was also curious to look at the people on the street who seemed to appear out of thin air.
Qi Tian looked at the crowd of people dressed in strange costumes and speaking words that he couldn't understand, and he could guess in his heart that these were traders from various countries.
In fact, as early as a few days ago, the trade merchants of various empires came to Yunhai City one after another, but Qi Tian and Xia Qingxue and a few people have been on Qimen Mountain outside the city, so they didn't see these trade merchants in strange costumes.
Now it is a little strange to see the traders suddenly appearing on the street.
Qi Tian looked at the man Xia Qingxue was referring to just now, with dark skin, hooked nose, and curly hair that fell outside, a bit like the Indian he had seen in his previous life.
It's just that they are wearing a mercerized blue robe and a blue hat that looks like a wizard, which is a bit magical.
There were also traders who wore white cloth robes and slippers like Arabs.
Qi Tian looked at these people and laughed in his heart, although he had traveled to another time and space, the race here was still somewhat similar to the previous world.
"Brother-in-law, the central square in front is where the Yunhai Trade Fair will be held!" Xia Qingxue said with some excitement.
She has been taken up to the mountains to learn martial arts since she was a child, and today is also the first time she has participated in such a large-scale trade gathering.
The central square is located in the center of Yunhai City, is a circular square covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, and in the center of the square is a rectangular high-platform building.
The periphery of the circular square is the most expensive and luxurious block in Yunhai City, with large shops and high-end restaurants, which can be seen here.
There are a total of nine streets leading to the central square, and when the central square was designed, it is said that it was also a metaphor for "nine dragons swallowing pearls", symbolizing great wealth.
The location where Uncle Nine wanted to open a store before was also here.
Qi Tian looked at the block leading to the central square, which was already crowded, and everyone was rushing towards the central square.
Above the street entrance into the central square hangs a large sign with five words written on it, "Yunhai Trade Fair".
In the corners on the left and right, there are also slogans such as "Welcome to the Conference".
Qi Tian took Xia Qingxue and Liu'er to follow the crowd forward, and soon arrived at the street corner.
At this time, seven or eight soldiers in bronze armor were checking the street corner, and a sign was standing next to it, "No weapons."
Qi Tian nodded secretly, it seems that Yunhai City attaches great importance to the security of the trade fair.
"Hmm, you want me to hand over my sword, my sword never leaves me!"
During the security check, the soldiers wanted to confiscate Xia Qingxue's white sword, but Xia Qingxue refused.
A leading soldier walked over, and when he saw Xia Qingxue, he frowned between his eyebrows, and said: "The girl is a person in the martial arts, right? I know that people in the martial arts have the habit of never leaving the sword, but after all, this is a trade fair, a place to do business, Lord Wang ordered that trade merchants are strictly forbidden to bring weapons into the field, so for everyone's safety, please also ask the girl to hand over the sword, we are only temporarily keeping it for the girl, and when the girl comes out, you can take the sword away." ”
Xia Qingxue wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qi Tian.
He gave Xia Qingxue a reassuring look, Xia Qingxue pouted reluctantly, but she didn't dare to disobey her brother-in-law's order, so she glared at the soldier viciously, handed over the long sword, and finally threatened: "Take care of my sword, if you break it, I'll kill you!"
Qi Tian patted Xia Qingxue on the shoulder, and then looked at the soldier.
In his twenties, his skin was the wheat color of long-term sun training, and his eyes showed a bit of sharp light, and he was obviously a person who had been on the battlefield.
"What do you call the little brother?" Qi Tian asked.
The soldier was obviously a little unsociable, his expression froze for a moment, and he said, "Xiao Xiaobing." “
"Oh, it's Brother Xiao, I'm Qi Tian. Qi Tian took the initiative to introduce himself, "I don't know what rank Brother Xiao has in the army?"
"Centurion under the command of Captain Ma Cheng. Xiao Xiaobing didn't understand the meaning of Qi Tian taking the initiative to talk to him, and his eyes were a little puzzled.
Qi Tian smiled slightly and continued: "I have a good thing for you to be promoted and make a fortune, do you want it?"
Xiao Xiaobing frowned, looking at Qi Tian's eyes, he couldn't help but be a little cautious.
"Hehe, Brother Xiao, you don't look like an idler who has nothing to talk about, if you believe me, let's take a step?" Qi Tian said with a smile.
Xiao Xiaobing looked at Qi Tian suspiciously, but he still opened his legs and followed Qi Tian to a corner.
Xia Qingxue watched her brother-in-law and the little soldier talking in a low voice, and the soldier's expression kept changing, one moment puzzled, one moment surprised, and then looked at Qi Tian with a blank eye.
Soon, the two ended their conversation, Qi Tian patted Xiao Xiaobing on the shoulder, and took Xia Qingxue and Liu'er into the venue.
"It's so lively here!" Xia Qingxue said in surprise.
Qi Tian also participated in this kind of trade fair for the first time, looking at the crowds of people coming and going around him, as well as the thousands of shops temporarily built on the square, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Yunhai City was worthy of being a famous trade town in the Xuangu Continent, and roughly estimated, the number of people here was not less than tens of thousands, and all kinds of trade merchants in strange costumes could be seen!
And that's just the first day!
"This is number six... This is the seventh..."Xia Qingxue opened her eyes wide, carefully looking at the house number of the shop.
"What is the number of our Xia family's bunks?" Qi Tian asked.
On the way here, Xia Qingxue had already told him that Xia Xinyue had already spent a lot of money to rent a bunk at the Yunhai Trade Fair, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen later.
"Eighteenth. Xia Qingxue said.
The three of them followed the number and soon found the Xia family's bunk.
There are hundreds of square meters of shops, and they are still built with simple wooden frames around them, but they are empty, and there are no decorations or goods in the shops.
"Brother-in-law, this is our bunk!" Xia Qingxue said excitedly.
Qi Tian glanced at her, and said in his heart, but he just found a place, not gold, what are you excited about...
He turned his eyes to look at the large bunks that were being built in front of him, which were much larger than the bunks around him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seemed that Xia Xinyue wanted to show his skills this time and bring the Xia family to a new height in one fell swoop, but... Now the talent is empty, and the shop is rented in vain.
"Are you from the Xia family?"
A somewhat impatient voice came from behind Qi Tian.
Qi Tian turned his eyes and saw that he was a fat man with a fat head and big ears, like a pig's head.
He was dressed luxuriously, and the precious silk wrapped his fat body, a bit like a large version of Xia Ping'an.
Xia Qingxue hadn't seen this person, so she asked, "Yes, who are you?"
"Hmph, who am I, your creditor! Xia Xinyue signed a silk order with me for one million gold coins, and signed an agreement that the liquidated damages are three times the amount of the goods, and now all the goods of the Xia family are gone, you have to compensate me for three million gold coins!" said the fat-headed and big-eared man.
At this moment, a tall and thin man with a lewd face walked up, and behind him there were two strong men who looked like guards.
Standing beside the fat man, he first glanced at Xia Qingxue in a daze, and made a few "tsk" sounds in his mouth, as if he was evaluating Xia Qingxue's beauty.
"Boss Gao is here too?" the fat man glanced at the tall and thin man beside him.
Qi Tian knew that the surname of this obscene-looking person was Gao.
"Hehe, tomorrow is the delivery date, of course I have to come to see my goods, I signed a contract with Xia Xinyue for three million gold coins. After Boss Gao finished speaking, his eyes swept over Xia Qingxue again.
"What are you looking at! Believe it or not, I'm going to gouge out your eyes!" Xia Qingxue felt Boss Gao's obscene gaze, and immediately said fiercely.
"Hey, I'm still a wild horse! I like it! Hehe, you're Xia Xinyue's sister, don't say it, you really look like Xia Xinyue!" Boss Gao smiled.
"Who do you say are the mustangs!"
Xia Qingxue had never been insulted like this, she was about to hit without saying a word, but she was stopped by Qi Tian.
Qi Tian patted Xia Qingxue's arm, signaling to reassure her, and then smiled slightly, and said to Boss Gao: "This boss's surname is Gao, right? ”
