Dongfang Sheng, the third son of the Yandong family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The third son of the Dongfang family has arrived!" shouted as the middle-aged man shouted. The house began to get noisy. Almost everyone was watching a young man in a gorgeous white boy costume walk into Juxian Ju Xianju surrounded by everyone.
"Dongfang Gongzi is good!"
"I've seen Dongfang Gongzi!" Several people standing at the front hurriedly saluted Dongfang Sheng with fists. Dongfang Sheng was still walking, and he didn't look at the salutes of the people around him.
The 'good and arrogant boy' seemed to have this idea among all the people present, but no one would show it.
Dongfang Sheng walked in front of everyone, and the guards behind him immediately blocked a blank space for him. Dongfang Sheng's eyes swept the hall and bowed. "In Xia Dongfang Sheng, I have seen all the heroes. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare......" Everyone didn't dare to accept this salute, and hurriedly replied.
"Heroes, this time you are gathered here to gather in the Virtuous Residence, I believe it must be for the sword forging ceremony of my Dongfang family three days later. Dongfang Sheng smiled. "You must also know that every time my Oriental family casts a sword, it will send a hero post to invite all major martial arts factions and heroes to come to watch the ceremony, and every time because of the large number of guests, I have to limit the number of people who enter......"
Hearing this, everyone was not interested in listening to it, every time every year, it was this statement, and some of you here had come to try their luck three times in a row, but their luck was not very good. The first two times were to send a deacon to pass it on, but this time it was replaced by the third son, Dongfang Sheng, who came in person, but it seemed that he did not change the soup.
Everyone is interested in things, but Dongfang Sheng's painting style has changed, and he said: "...... You may feel that what you said below is similar to what people said the first few times, but I want to tell you that I came today to bring three invitations, and I am here to give them to those who are destined!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Do you think it's just an invitation for someone's children to marry a wife and invite you to eat and drink to celebrate? That is the ticket to enter the Oriental family, and it also means that at the end of the sword-forging ceremony, you can participate in the sword-hunting activity in the sword pool. What is sword hunting? That is to choose a weapon that you want from a pool of swords with countless swords.
You must know that in this rivers and lakes, not only fists and feet, but also weapons commonly used by martial arts people such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds are also an important part of their strength, and weapons are an extension of their bodies. A handy weapon can increase one's user's skill by three percent. The rivers and lakes, martial arts, are always the places where strength speaks. This weapon produced by an Oriental family is really a huge temptation for the people here.
Although He Xun was standing in the far corner of the hall with the scholars. But the words of the invitation are clear. "Have an invitation?" He Xun's eyes lit up, and he wanted to squeeze into the crowd to listen carefully to what the young man who had just come in said.
Just about to leave, my body stagnated. He Xun turned his head to see that the scholar was lying on the cushion, pulling at his leather coat in his hand, making it impossible for him to leave. "Brother?"
"You just left me like that?" the scholar raised his head and said in a pitiful voice, winking at He Xun as he spoke, eyes that seemed to have mysterious power, as if they wanted to suck He Xun in.
"Forehead......" He Xun looked at the scholar's eyes, and a purple light suddenly flashed in his mind, making him wake up immediately. "If Brother Tai is lonely, you can follow the next issue to listen to it." “
"Don't!" the scholar turned his head and refused.
”......“
Just when the two couldn't hold each other, Dongfang Sheng's side could be described as hot.
"The first invitation, five thousand taels!" Dongfang Sheng clapped his hands, and immediately a waiter behind him brought out a tray, on which three invitations were placed upright.
Everyone was shocked, they really saw the invitation that Dongfang Sheng said, but they also really heard the price of 5,000 taels per ticket that Dongfang Sheng said!
A chivalrous man from the rivers and lakes, walking in the shadow of swords and swords, there are also many people who can't save five thousand taels of silver, and this oriental family only uses an invitation card to pocket these five thousand taels without any effort.
This is looking for someone who is destined, it is clearly looking for a rich person.
Dongfang Sheng swept between the crowds, but no one stood up to buy the first invitation. "If not......" Seeing that everyone did not speak, the corners of Dongfang Sheng's mouth turned horizontal, and a trace of anger arose in his heart.
"Five thousand taels, I bought it!" Dongfang Sheng was stunned, everyone was stunned, five thousand taels to buy an invitation? This person is not sick, right? Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and one person in the crowd walked out slowly, a sword-wielding knight, about thirty years old, with a three-color rope belt tied on his head. He took out a crumpled silver ticket from his bosom, handed it to the deacon of the Oriental Family, who was closest to him, and then stood there and waited.
The deacon unfolded the crumpled vote and glanced at it. Then he threw a look at Dongfang Sheng, and Dongfang Sheng understood: "Take the invitation!"
A person behind him hurriedly handed over the invitation, and the swordsman took it tremblingly, looking at the red invitation in his hand repeatedly. There was an excited look on his face.
"It's finally here...... I'm only one line away from failing in two challenges, if I get a divine soldier......" The knight stroked the invitation card as he walked out of the gate of Juxianju, leaving only the rest of the crowd stunned.
"The second invitation, five thousand taels!" Dongfang Sheng struck while the iron was hot and said in a loud voice. Everyone's minds were pulled back to Juxianju. The heart is like a river and a sea, and the person who has just held the sword is already very clear, this is not just a piece of paper, in the hands of some people, this is an opportunity...... An opportunity to improve your strength.
He Xun pulled his sleeves again, but the scholar still didn't let go, "Brother, let go, I saw that someone had already taken one just now!"
"What about taking it away?" the scholar let go of He Xun's sleeve and focused on his thighs. Hold on to your thighs, "Come and drink with me!"
"Brother, don't make trouble! I really want to go and see the situation. He Xun cried with a sad face, and he couldn't get rid of this mud-like figure.
“......”
"I'll give five thousand!" a big man pushed away the people around him and stepped forward.
"I'll give six thousand!" The thin man who had mocked He Xun before also took a step forward.
Hearing this, the big man frowned, and said angrily at the thin man: "Thin man, what do you mean!"
"It's just a fair bid......" The thin man shrank his head and whispered, it could be seen that he was still a little afraid of the big man. A cold light flashed in Dahan's eyes, and he said, "Dongfang Gongzi said five thousand taels, I have bid five thousand, and you will give six thousand to stir up my game?" But Dongfang Sheng's eyes were flickering at the moment, and he said softly: "I just said that the price was five thousand taels, but I didn't say that it must be five thousand taels?"
The big man's face turned pale.
The thin man was elated, thinking that he had received Dongfang Sheng's support. said: "If you don't have money, go back as soon as possible, don't be embarrassed here!"
"You!" the big man gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Seven...... Seven thousand taels ......"
"Then I'll give you eight thousand taels!" The thin man seemed to be bolder, originally the big man was only one or two points stronger than himself, if he found a good weapon in the sword pool, he might not be able to win against this big man. Coupled with Dongfang Sheng's acquiescence, the thin man was very proud at the moment.
The big man's forehead was bruised, and the murderous aura leaked out, and he couldn't help but touch the handle of the knife in his hand.
The thin man was so shocked that he took a step back, and several deacons of the Dongfang family stood between the two of them with a bang, and the big man's heart was shocked, and his eyes scanned, only to see that his offensive path was all sealed. Honestly remove the hand that is on the handle of the knife. Although Dahan had some confidence in his martial arts, it was still impossible to take over the four deacons of the Oriental Family and retreat.
"Since no one is bidding any more, then this second share belongs to this knight. Dongfang Sheng waved away a few of his subordinates and said with a smile.
The thin man took the invitation, glanced contemptuously in the direction of the big man, stuffed the invitation into his arms, and strode out of Juxianju. Dahan gritted his teeth, looked at the door, and then looked at Dongfang Sheng and sat back.
Dongfang Sheng nodded and said, "Then this last invitation...... It's still five thousand taels. “
Five thousand taels is a good thing to say, the first five thousand taels have no competitors, the second five thousand taels have reached eight thousand taels, the role of these two invitations, everyone can be said to be clear, the people who have the invitations are guests of the Oriental family during the ceremony, and it is their task to protect the safety of the guests, so they are not worried about the revenge of the Han, as for the revenge of the Han after the ceremony, the strength is improved or the revenge of the rivers and lakes, that is not their Oriental family to take care of.
"Brother Tai...... "It seems that someone has taken another one, can you let it go......" He Xun frowned, looking at the drunken scholar and said.
"What do you want, it's just a boring party......" the scholar said with a hiccup.
I'm just going to check it out...... He Xun didn't say this, but he was afraid that if he said it, the scholar would be even more crazy.
"You can't tell you why!" The scholar climbed up along He Xun's body again, so that he would not fall.
He Xun sighed helplessly, only to hear the crowd in shock, He Xun turned his head to see that a middle-aged man held high the last invitation card and cheered out of the door.
"This ......" He Xun opened his mouth, unable to say anything.
"At this point, all the three extra invitations of my Oriental family have been sold. It's time to say goodbye. After Dongfang Sheng saluted everyone, he led people out of Juxian Residence.
When everyone saw this, they wanted to drink and chat, so they stayed, but most of them came for the invitation, and when they saw that there was no chance, they didn't stay long, and left in groups.
He Xun looked at the hall where there were only seven or eight people left, his face twitched a few times, he lowered his head and sighed, and sat back.
"It seems that you have figured it out, don't go to that boring gathering......" The scholar let go of He Xun, sat down at the table and continued to drink.
"......" He Xun raised his head and glared at the other party, but he didn't answer, just drank one cup after another.
The scholar put his hands on his cheeks, propped them on the table, looked at He Xun, who was silent in front of him, and said, "Hey, are you angry?"
He Xun rolled his eyes, but still ignored it.
The scholar frowned and said, "You just want to see it?"
“......”
"......" The scholar pursed his lips and said, "Spend thousands of dollars, tens of thousands of taels to get those two pieces of torn paper, do you have this money?" ”
"Huh?" He Xun stopped as soon as the glass reached his lips, "I have money." ”
When the scholar heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked He Xun up and down a few times, the old leather coat and the old leather hat, he really didn't look rich at all......
Seeing that the other party was obviously suspicious, He Xun stretched out his hand and grabbed it in his arms, and dozens of silver tickets were placed in front of the scholar, the scholar's eyes widened, and his fingers pointed at He Xun from afar: "You, you, you...... Is this how your family goes out with money?"
