In the room, the sun is warm and the sea breeze is pleasant.

Li Qingchen scooped up a "Taiping Swallow" that had been reheated with real fire because he had been chatting for too long and had been cold for too long, and sent it to his mouth, and suddenly found that it was really as Xiaoyu said, not ordinary bread meat, but meat wrapped in meat, this unique taste is indeed unforgettable after eating once.

The girl sat at the table, just taking a sip of fish porridge, chewing and swallowing slowly, like a young lady from a well-educated family, who would have known that she was once an assassin with blood on her hands and killing people for a living?

Li Qingchen took a piece of meat from the belly of the fish, carefully picked out the thorns inside, and then put it into the girl's bowl, and said at the same time: "You heard what you said just now, what do you think?"

Li Sansan put down the bowl, raised his head, and analyzed seriously: "If you inquire about ordinary things, the Giant Whale Gang and the White Tiger Gang are the most suitable, but the Wannian Chalcedony, listening to it, I also know that it is not a simple thing, but it is best to ask the Huang family and the Lin family." However, the most direct way is to visit the Dragon Wandering Sect and the Guihai Sect on the island, since the lord said that it was the South China Sea, then the thing probably will not be on land. ”

Li Qingchen nodded lightly, thoughtful.

"That makes sense, I'll go out and inquire, you ......"

Before the words fell, the girl said: "Don't worry, I'm not a daughter, even if I can't use my true qi for the time being, I won't hold you back." ”

Li Qingchen pursed his lips and didn't dare to answer the question, but got up and walked to the hanger to take off the hat and coat that had just been hung up, thought about it, put the coat back again, and after putting on the hat, he pushed open the door and went downstairs.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Xiao Yu, who was dozing off on the first floor in the afternoon, and the latter turned his head when he heard the movement, his eyes widened, and a smile appeared on his face, and he got up and greeted: "Brother Li, where are you going?

Li Qingchen pointed out and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've arrived, just take a turn." By the way, Xiaoyu, just wait for me to come back and clean up, I, my wife wants to rest. ”

Xiao Yu nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I will definitely not go up and disturb." ”

When he went out, Li Qingchen helped the hat, covered most of his face, and strode forward directly.

He didn't need to rely on Xiao Yu to guide the way, because after standing on the edge of the windowsill and looking at the scene in the city, he had already silently written down the road, this is the power of the Divine Artistic Conception Martial Artist, and not forgetting is just the most basic skill, as long as he wants to, he can even recall all the people he has seen along the way, including what clothes they are wearing and what expressions they have on their faces.

I don't want to be recommended by Xiao Yu and meet with the giant whale gang, the first is to think and understand, the person who can be recommended by the young man probably won't know about this thing, so why waste this favor, after all, this favor probably has to be returned by the boy himself, and the second is that Li Qingchen now tries not to get entangled with others more, so as not to let others with good intentions suffer misfortune again.

Li Qingchen went all the way to the north, the foot was extremely fast, the target of his trip was the Huang family, one of the two wealthy families in the city, the reason why he did not go to the Lin family, probably because he subconsciously hated the word "Lin" in his heart, and in the case of unfamiliar life, it is the same to find anyone, these two families have a long heritage in Qingyuan County, if you know the amount of information, you are afraid of death and do not lose to the overseas two factions, this is the recklessness of the Giant Whale Gang and the White Tiger Gang can not be compared in any way.

The reason why the Huang family can be ranked among the four major forces in the city is because the entire north of the city is the property of their Huang family, every shop and house here is the ancestral property of the Huang family, and there is a title deed in hand, and when the Huang family was at its most brilliant, most of the entire county town belonged to the Huang family, so there is also the saying of Huang Bancheng, but unfortunately, once carelessly, and the Lin family fought a lose-lose situation, and now they can only shrink in the north of the city, but if it is about money, even the giant whale gang is not as good as the profound Huang family.

Li Qingchen pressed the hat, and only after walking to the north boundary of the city did he raise his head.

Xiao Yu told him that the Huang family's family emblem is a golden chrysanthemum, so if there is a golden chrysanthemum logo in the north of the city, it is the Huang family themselves in operation, if not, it is rented to outsiders and collected rent, and the pawnshop in front of him has a golden chrysanthemum as a logo outside.

Li Qingchen didn't waste time to look at it carefully, so he walked in directly.

The counter in front of him was extremely high, and the shopkeeper was standing behind the counter, and Li Qingchen had to tilt his head to see his face.

"Hello, I'd like to inquire about something. ”

The shopkeeper of this pawnshop was a short-faced man with a mustache, and while lowering his head and twisting the account book in his hand, he kept dialing the abacus without raising his head, but replied lightly.

"Just ask. ”

Li Qingchen frowned slightly, but he was not angry, he also understood that those who could come to the pawnshop were either here to be things or to redeem things, and the other party was more domineering, which was understandable, and he would not be angry with these ordinary people, so he said: "Do you know 'chalcedony'?"

The shopkeeper stopped fiddling with the abacus, raised his head, and seemed to be looking at Li Qingchen's appearance, and after a while, he replied: "There is it in the shop." ”

When Li Qingchen heard this, his eyes lit up, he didn't have expectations, but now he was unexpectedly happy, and hurriedly said: "Can you use it to watch?"

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand, swiped it at Li Qingchen, and said, "It depends on whether it's worth it." ”

Li Qingchen hurriedly took out a gold ingot from his arms and put it in the other party's hand, but it was obtained by robbing the robber on the road, with his cultivation, it was too easy to get some money, but he never thought that the shopkeeper saw it, still stretched out his hand, shook his head twice, and said, "It's not enough." ”

Seeing this, Li Qingchen stacked a full ten ingots of gold on the counter at one time.

"Is that enough?"

The shopkeeper withdrew his hand, put the gold in his hand on the counter, and placed it side by side with the other ten ingots of gold, and shook his head as he collected the account books, and said, "It's still not enough." ”

Li Qingchen frowned slightly, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, is this chalcedony so valuable, but he really has no extra money on his body, and when he was hesitating whether to directly force the other party to lead him in, he suddenly heard the shopkeeper say again: "But it's qualified enough to take a look, people who can take out so much gold casually, they must really look at the right eye, and it is not difficult to raise money, please take back the gold first, wait a while." ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper's body was short, and he disappeared directly behind the counter, and then there was the sound of "squeaking" down the stairs, and then he heard the sound of "squeak", Li Qingchen turned his head again, and found that he had opened a small door next to the counter and walked out.

It was only at this time that Li Qingchen discovered that in fact, this person was born extremely short, just like the poisonous rat Yang Zi, only up to his waist, but there was probably a ladder behind the counter before he could stand so high.

There are many pawnshops in the world, the counter is set very high, forcing people to look up, which is not unreasonable, one is to give people a sense of psychological oppression, so that the pawnshop is good to lower the price, and the other is to prevent people from seeing the situation inside, seeing the wealth, rushing in to snatch the treasure.

When Li Qingchen saw it, he clenched his fists and said, "Li Sihai." ”

The shopkeeper also arched his hand and said, "Huang Datong." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and invited, "Master Li, please." ”

Li Qingchen hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Huang is polite. ”

After the two of them walked into the counter through the small door, Huang Datong turned around and locked the door, and then took him to the inner room.

There are no windows on three walls of this room, but there is an oil lamp on the table, which is not dark, and Huang Datong, who looks like a dwarf, arched his hand and said, "Li Gongzi, please sit here for a while, and I will go and fetch things immediately." ”

Li Qingchen said: "I'm tired of the shopkeeper Huang." ”

After Huang Datong turned around and left, Li Qingchen had the leisure to look at the dazzling array in front of him, from the study room to calligraphy and painting, ancient books, and even some small blades, all kinds of ancient monsters were placed together, and the room that seemed a little crowded, suddenly felt eye-opening.

I think he has been in contact with martial arts since he was a child, and he doesn't fake foreign objects, but he hasn't seen much of these things, but since he is a guest, it is not good to reach out and touch it directly, if it is really broken, it will be in vain, so he will sit on the stool and wait in a regular manner.

As soon as he came in, he had clearly noticed that two sharp eyes fell on him, thinking that it should be the warriors sent by the Huang family to garrison this place to prevent robbers, Li Qingchen estimated that it should be a cultivation of about four grades, and took this opportunity to silently calculate in his heart what the situation of the major forces in Qingyuan County was probably the situation.

The pawnshop is already a very important industry under a family, but only the four-rank martial artists are sitting here, and there may be stronger ones, but Li Qingchen didn't want to startle the snake, so he didn't use his divine will to perceive it, but he already knew it in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly say that it was really a small place, and it couldn't be compared with the Central Plains, but he still had to be cautious, there was no need to cause conflicts, if it could be properly resolved, there would be no more trouble.

Just thinking like this, as soon as Li Qingchen turned his head, Huang Datong had already pushed open the door and walked in from the outside.

He held a wooden box made of huanghuali in his hand, and put it on the table in front of Li Qingchen, and when he lifted the lid, there was a ray of light from the inside, Li Qingchen took a closer look, and found that the box was still padded with a thick flannel, and lying on the flannel was a translucent stone, but the size of a thumb, it looked more translucent than ordinary jade, and it seemed to contain a strange power.

Li Qingchen looked at Huang Datong and asked, "This is chalcedony?"
