Chapter 156: Haitian Guild Hall
Haizhou City is now about to rain!
If it is said that the gathering of the remnants of Guan Long in Haizhou City is only spread in a small area, the news that Zhang Xunyang's army is pressing the border has spread in the past few days.
Haizhou City is now the seat of Jiang Longyuan, the second master of the Sea God Temple, this person rarely appears in public, he is insidious and cunning, and he is ruthless, and his martial arts are very strong, far better than the three masters Xiang Gaojia who died in Surabaya Village.
Jiang Longyuan doesn't like to be busy, so he often goes out at night, is in the city lord's mansion during the day, and often doesn't go out of the gate for a day.
During the day, when he was in the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Longyuan spent half of his time practicing, and if there was no urgent official business, he usually started to deal with official affairs in the evening. After dealing with some things today, and at the same time arranging a few things for tomorrow, several dignitaries from Haizhou City left the City Lord's Mansion.
Jiang Longyuan waved his hand, and two guards came in, dragged out a corpse on the ground, and cleaned up the ground. Jiang Longyuan's mood still couldn't be calm.
According to the information just obtained, Zhang Xunyang's 30,000 troops have been stationed in Surabaya Village, and the subsequent 40,000 troops will also arrive in five days, and the battle is about to break out!
However, in Haizhou City, there are only 30,000 available soldiers now, and the rest of the miscellaneous people are not of great use at all.
"Hate Gao Jia, this bastard! Brought so many elites to sneak attack a squire, and the whole army was wiped out!" Jiang Long's teeth itched, he originally planned to send another five hundred black-clothed killers as backup, but he just swore to Gao Jia and was full of confidence, so he left these five hundred people.
"I'm afraid that others will rob you of your credit!
Jiang Longyuan also knew that the expansion of the Sea God Temple was a bit fast now, and the troops were insufficient, but Haizhou City was very important, so he asked the big boss for help three days ago, but there was no news so far, the situation was becoming more and more tense, and the gathering of the Guan Long remnants would be held in five days, and this matter could not be lost!
The more I think about it, the more annoying it becomes!
......
During this half day this afternoon, Li Xiaobai did not go out in the restaurant. During this period, Yu Liding, president of the Haizhou Chamber of Commerce, came to see Li Xiaobai in disguise and did not stay for too long.
Some of the news that Xuan Yu inquired by himself, as well as the information collected by the Haizhou Chamber of Commerce, Li Xiaobai carefully analyzed it, and finally came up with an idea: "Jiang Longyuan, the city lord of Haizhou City, is under a lot of pressure now, and it is very likely that he will take some drastic measures to protect himself in the past few days!"
......
Under the governance of Jiang Longyuan, Haizhou City presents a deformed prosperity!
As long as they are willing to pay high taxes, as long as they abide by Jiang Longyuan's system, Haizhou City does not prohibit any business.
At the beginning of the night, Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan walked out of the inn with Wen Wen, and the three members of the Sanhe Xuanzi group were also secretly guarding.
The street where the Dafugui Restaurant is located can be said to be the most prosperous street in Haizhou City, with many shops and many large guild halls.
There are a lot of cars, horses and pedestrians coming and going on the road, this street can be said to be an open and legal black market, as long as you don't commit crimes in Haizhou City, whether it is a thief who has committed a lot of crimes, or a notorious thief, you can swagger in and out of Haizhou City, and stolen goods from all over the country may appear on this street.
Li Xiaobai, Wen Wan, and Wen Wen walked into a hall, this "Haitian Hall" is famous, one of the best in Haizhou City, and the people who come here are not only eating, drinking, and having fun, but also have an auction every night, which is the most attractive.
The hall occupies a large area, in addition to a main building, there is a sizable garden at the back, pavilions, and elegant views.
It is said that this was originally the garden of the richest merchant in Haizhou, and after the Poseidon Temple occupied Haizhou, a mysterious person with a strong background invaded this place and changed it into the Haitian Hall, becoming the first place in Haizhou City to sell stolen goods by public auction.
Li Xiaobai and the others did not stop at the main building, but walked into the back garden and strolled around, waiting for the auction to start later.
"It's not ordinary people who come in and out of here, and there may be good things in the auction later!" Li Xiaobai said to Wen Wan with a smile.
"Well, the people of the Guanlong relics clan should also come to join in the fun, I have seen a few of them just now, and they also live in the Dafugui Restaurant. Wen Wan and Li Xiaobai joined hands side by side.
"Brother-in-law, look at the group of people in front, let's go see what's going on?" Wen Wen found a pavilion in front of him, where a lot of people gathered.
The three of them walked over, only to find that there was a man and a woman standing in the middle of the crowd, the young man was slender and magnificent, and his gestures were natural, and his style was chic and eye-catching.
There was a woman standing beside her, with this glorious man, not overshadowed by his momentum. Dressed in a red dress, with a smile and a charming face.
The man was impassioned, introducing the general trend of the world to the people around him and pointing out the country.
Li Xiaobai glanced at it, smiled slightly, and turned around to leave.
When the woman in red saw Li Xiaobai, she immediately stepped forward and raised her hand to greet, "Childe stays!"
Li Xiaobai was also a little surprised when he heard the other party's call.
The woman in red just raised her hand and raised her foot, and the originally high-spirited man next to her immediately dimmed and was ignored by everyone.
Li Xiaobai held Wen Wan in his arms, stopped and stood, looked at the woman in red, and did not speak.
The focus in the pavilion immediately changed to the woman in red and Li Xiaobai, and no one noticed the expression of the young man just now, looking at Li Xiaobai's gloomy face, and his heart was full of anger.
The woman in red smiled lightly at Wen Wan, looked at Li Xiaobai ambiguously, and said with a smile: "Childe's bearing is extraordinary, which makes the slave family feel close, I hope to see Childe again at the auction!"
Wen Wan ignored the words of the woman in red, but the young man was annoyed and angry, stepped forward and grabbed the woman in red's hand, and tried to say in a gentle tone: "Hongxing, let's go!"
The woman in red laughed as she left with the young man, who glared at Li Xiaobai with a vicious gaze.
......
An hour later, the auction was about to begin, and everyone returned to the main building in front of them and walked up to the box on the third floor.
After a short time, the director of the hall sent someone to each box, the status of the guest, collect the deposit, and issue the auction number plate.
The so-called registered identity is just a symbolic inquiry, Li Xiaobai casually hugged a name, and the other party also asked carefully.
Because most of the people who come to sell stolen goods or auction are reluctant to reveal their identities, the guild also knows it, and everyone knows it.
Half an hour later, everything was ready and the auction officially began.
There were all people in the nineteen boxes, and tonight's auction had a total of ten high-end treasures, as well as five superb treasures, and all the materials were sent into each box.
"Three of these five pieces are treasures in the palace of the Tang Empire!" Wen Wan said to Li Xiaobai after reading the information.
"However, this one is the most unusual of origins, and we must get it!" Wen Wan said, pointing to one of the five treasures.
