Chapter 574: Retention
Without saying a word, Hong Ying caught a glimpse of a red guqin on the side of the bead curtain.
With a slight step, she walked to the guqin and sat down cross-legged.
The bare hand was raised elegantly, first caressing the strings, and after feeling the warmth of the guqin, the red fingers like green onions slowly plucked up, and a melodious and pleasant sound came out.
The man on the other side of the beaded curtain seemed to enjoy the moment, and shook to the sound of the piano as he listened.
At the end of the song, the man never turned to look at Hongying, and then he raised his hands, took out a jade flute out of nowhere, and played it gently.
Hearing the extremely beautiful sound of the flute, Hong Ying suddenly felt refreshed and refreshed, and her ears seemed to be pregnant.
What made her even more ecstatic was that the rich aura around her took the initiative to pour into her body with Xiao Yin, and she quickly carried out a weekly cycle to fill her dantian.
"Thank you, childe. ”
After a cup of tea, after the sound of the flute fell, Hongying hurriedly lowered her head to the ground and made a big gift.
The man put away the jade flute and still didn't turn around, but the words came into Hongying's ears.
"This counts as your reward for hosting the auction. ”
Hongying understands that presiding over the auction is her own business, how can there be a reward, but when Gongzi says this, he is clearly referring to the auction of Qinglian.
"Childe, the person who snatched the forbidden box at the auction has been caught. ”
Hong Ying felt that her cultivation in her body had increased a little, and she was secretly happy in her heart, but she said with a respectful expression on her face.
"This seat knows about this matter, you should quickly spread the matter of Qiao Yuan's coming to Kyoto City to Lijiang's ears, it is best to ...... It will allow him to stay in Kyoto Castle for a while. ”
The man then spoke in a loud and high-pitched voice, like the chirping of an eagle above the Nine Heavens, which was contrary to the crimson coat on his body.
Hong Ying nodded yes, then hesitated for a moment and told Qiao Yuan about taking Qinglian with 200,000 high-grade spirit stones.
"Huh...... This matter was expected by this seat, and Qiao Yuan, like Bai Lian, was from the Nantai Continent. ”
The man chuckled, and he didn't know whether to laugh at Hongying or Qiao Yuan, but the focus of Hongying's attention was not here.
"He is also from the South Thai Continent. ”
"That's right, that Qiao Yuan is so similar to the junior back then. ”
Hongying's muttered whisper was caught in the man's ear, and he showed a rare hint of appreciation.
Hearing this, a stunning figure immediately appeared in Hongying's mind, white clothes and silver hair, temperament close to immortals, it only took less than ten years to become famous in the Donglin Continent, provoking countless forces to recruit.
But that person politely refused one by one, and finally completely disappeared into the Donglin Continent more than thirty years ago, and he didn't know where to go.
But Hong Ying knew that that person was a monk from the Nantai Continent, and he came to the Donglin Continent just for training.
"Okay, let's arrange things, I want to see if the first person in this Yuan Infant Period is Lijiang, or Qiao Yuan from the Nantai Continent. ”
Just as Hongying was thinking, the man waved his hand, signaling for her to stand down.
Hongying's anxious mood finally calmed down, and she bowed very respectfully, and slowly retreated from the corner tower.
"The first person in the infancy?"
Walking out of the courtyard, Hong Ying reached out and took out an embroidered handkerchief, wiped the sweat from her forehead, showed a look of great interest on her face, and muttered in a low voice.
Time flies for a month, and Qiao Yuan has to go out for a walk almost every day.
However, after the auction, his appearance has been known by the whole of Kyoto City, so every time he goes out, he almost changes his appearance, and even if he occasionally buys something in a big way, it will not arouse the suspicion of others.
And Qinglian, the guide, was also covered up by the prohibition arranged by Qiao Yuan, and the two lived a comfortable and leisurely life in this bustling Kyoto City.
"Qiao Yuan, why do you have so many spirit stones?
On this day, as soon as the two of them came out of a herb shop, Qinglian blinked her eyes and looked at Qiao Yuan with the eyes of a rich man.
A month ago, Qiao Yuan threw 200,000 high-grade spirit stones at the auction, Qinglian thought that he had already smashed the pot and sold iron, and emptied the family property.
Unexpectedly, in the past month, as long as Qiao Yuan saw what he needed, no matter how expensive it was, he would not hesitate to buy it, it was like having an unemptible spiritual vein on his body.
Originally, with Qinglian's temperament, he almost didn't care about spirit stones.
But since she owed Qiao Yuan a huge amount of money, she was like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal dust, tainted with vulgarity, and she was particularly concerned about spirit stones, and even occasionally took on some tasks issued by the city to earn spirit stones.
Therefore, every time she saw Qiao Yuan's lavish spending of spirit stones, she would always have an inexplicable sense of imbalance in her heart.
"Hey...... , It was someone else who wanted to kill me and take the treasure, but I solved it casually, and their spirit stones naturally belonged to me. ”
Qiao Yuan grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, and there was a sense of self-satisfaction when he spoke.
In his life, he lacks everything, that is, he does not lack spirit stones.
When he left Qingfeng Village, Xiao Fengqing gave him a lot of spirit stones, including the best spirit stones.
In addition, in the land of the inheritance of the Moon River Sect, Qiao Yuan obtained the inheritance of the Moon Without a Trace, and by the way, he also inherited a lot of his property, including a mountain of spirit stones.
In addition, Qiao Yuan has captured many monks and killed many monks along the way.
Not to mention the foundation building monks, there are Meng Yan, Meng Rong, Gu Shaofan, Qi Dechang, Yang Zhixing and others who have a lot of wealth in the Jindan period, and the net worth of these people adds up to an extremely terrifying number.
Also, Kumahara and the Master of Ten Thousand Ghosts have done a lot of evil, and they have accumulated a lot of spirit stones over the years, and together they are more than enough to buy two Qinglian.
Of course, there was no need for him to say this to Qinglian, but when Qinglian saw Qiao Yuan's smug expression, she immediately threw him a roll of her eyes angrily.
"When will we leave Kyoto City, I have been in the Donglin Continent for seven years, and I haven't been to any other place. ”
"I've been here for a month, I've seen everything, and since you want to leave, let's leave tomorrow. ”
Qiao Yuan had been with Qinglian for so long, and naturally felt that she had always been uneasy in her heart, obviously Qinglian was still worried that the elder would be entangled.
In that case, leave early, lest there be any trouble.
After returning to Shengyuan Auction House, Qiao Yuan briefly cleaned up, waited for tomorrow morning, and left Kyoto City directly.
As for the search for ancient medicinal herbs, Hong Ying had already left him a special messenger, as long as there was news, no matter where Qiao Yuan was in the Donglin Continent, he could receive it as soon as possible.
The next day, Qiao Yuan and Qinglian came directly to Hongying's residence and bid her farewell.
But as soon as they came to the surface, Hong Ying's face changed slightly, she stood up, bit her lip lightly, and looked at Qiao Yuan pleading.
"Qiao Daoyou, I wonder if you can leave again in the evening?"
A month ago, she secretly sent someone to spread the news that Qiao Yuan was in Kyoto City to Donglai Kingdom.
As expected, Lijiang must have arrived on his way, and it would not take him a few days to arrive at Kyoto City.
But now that Qiao Yuan is leaving, it makes Hongying really embarrassed, but the son specially explained at the beginning, asking her to keep Qiao Yuan and try to compete with Lijiang.
Qiao Yuan's expression was a little abnormal, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked lightly.
"Hongying Daoyou, why is this?"
"Huh...... , Qiao Daoyou is a big customer of my Shengyuan Auction House, and he has lived here for a month, and his concubine is busy, so he has not had the opportunity to entertain Qiao Daoyou. ”
Hongying quickly covered the different colors on her face, revealing an apologetic smile, a pair of seductive eyes looking forward to leaving, how could any man bear to refuse her retention.
Who knew that Qiao Daoyou was going to leave today, and the concubine had to dare to ask Qiao Daoyou to stay for two more days, so that the concubine could enjoy the friendship of the landlord. ”
"Hongying Daoyou is busy with affairs, how can I be embarrassed to disturb Daoyou, or leave today, and wait for the next time I come to Kyoto City, I will visit Daoyou. ”
Qiao Yuan guessed that there must be some inside story about Hongying's retention, and after thinking about it, he politely refused.
After hearing this, Hongying's heart suddenly became anxious, seeing that Qiao Yuan was about to walk out of the house, she stepped forward and stopped at the door, staring at Qiao Yuan with an extremely resentful gaze, and said angrily.
"Qiao Yuan, how can you be so unkind?"
These words completely stunned Qiao Yuan, and Qinglian on the side instantly understood the meaning, her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked at Hongying with an unbelievable look, and finally fell on Qiao Yuan's face.
"You...... You guys?"
"Hongying Daoyou, what nonsense are you talking about. ”
Qiao Yuan came back to his senses, frowned, looked at Hong Ying and said coldly.
Hong Ying was in a hurry, and immediately raised her hand, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said extremely sensationally.
"You...... Can't you see it? The concubine has long been in love with you, but you have a white lotus girl, and the concubine has never dared to speak out, so can't you stay for the concubine for a few more days?"
This tearful performance was extremely touching, if there were outsiders who didn't know about it, they would definitely think that Qiao Yuan was a heartless and unrighteous man.
Even Qinglian frowned, a little skeptical that Qiao Yuan had some unclear relationship with Hong Ying.
Qiao Yuan suddenly felt very embarrassed, his old face turned red, and he didn't know what to say.
In fact, he really didn't see that Hongying was interested in him, but people's tears came out, and if he said this at this time, wouldn't it add a new injury to Hongying.
"Qiao Yuan, if you dare to do something sorry for the palace master, Qinglian will be the first to let you go. ”
Seeing that Qiao Yuan's face was red, Qinglian seemed to be sure that there was some relationship between the two, so she lowered her face and said to him.
Qiao Yuan suddenly felt that his head was big, and secretly said what was going on.
"Qiao Yuan, the concubine doesn't want to stay with you forever, I just ask you to stay for a few more days, from now on, we are separated from each other and don't disturb each other, okay?"
Hongying felt that the time had come, so she hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed his hands, and stared straight at Qiao Yuan with full and affectionate beautiful eyes, revealing a delicate and delicate feeling, making it difficult for people to say the words of refusal.
