After a while, a wooden stool flew out of the window of the west chamber and cruised over the town of Dongwei.
This wooden stalk is very different from last night's scare Yunxi Yuxi, inlaid with amethyst as eyes, with beautiful feathers glued to the body, and a layer of ice silk is woven under the feathers of the wings, shaking back and forth, up and down, there is a feeling of flying. This is also Belle's improved work. In this way, even in the daytime, if you don't hold it in your hand and look at it, you can't see that it is a fake bird.
The wooden squirrel flew over the west side of the quay, circled a few more times, and burrowed into the winding air and light holes, and entered the atrium of the sea cave. At this time, the sea rabbit was meditating in the central hall, and the wooden mullet fell in front of him and gently hit him on the head.
The nudibranch's eyes opened, saw the wood, smiled, and reached out to pinch a small bamboo tube on its leg. took out a piece of cloth with words written on it from the bamboo tube: "Black Riding City and the Rong family have a large number of people lurking around Qingyunfang. Tonight and tomorrow morning, the Rong family wants to attack Zhendongwei and occupy Qingyunfang. The Black Rider City prepares to snatch the fruits of victory, so keep an eye out for lurking men. Also, reassemble it after reading. The sea rabbit's face was solemn, and the cloth was folded again and stuffed into the bamboo tube.
Mu Yan flew up again, climbed out of the same way, flew away from the dock, came to the sky above the Fang Market, circled a few times, stared at the location of the Fang Wei camp, came to a window, and gently hit the window. The person who opened the window was Sun Jin, who looked at Mu Jin in surprise. Mu Yan shook his body, in addition to the wings shaking, the small bamboo tube on his legs was also shaking. Only then did Sun Jin notice the letterbox, carefully took out the cloth, and after reading it carefully, he restarted.
Mu Yan flew up again, came to the door of Hua Shenghe, went directly through the door, directly entered the main hall, and then followed the stairs, went up to the second floor, and knocked on the door. Someone opened the door, it was Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou looked at Mu Yan in surprise, watching it fly up and down. After hitting her in the back, when I turned my head, I found that I had flown away, and I was looking for it, and I found that it had hit her in the chest. Aunt Zhou was ashamed and annoyed, but when she saw that Mu Yan was no longer flying, she stopped shaking in front of her eyes, and the small bamboo tube on her legs swayed.
Aunt Zhou read the content on the cloth, stuffed it into the bamboo tube again, and muttered in her mouth: "This little stinky Belle, she is still teasing her mother, see if I don't go back to clean her up." Watching the wood fly away from the shop, he returned to the house.
Mu Yan came out of Huashenghe, slowly flew up, and finally came to the window on the third floor of Qingyun Pavilion, and gently knocked on the window. In a few moments, the window opened, and the wood swished away a few feet. Seeing that it was Chief Manager Qin who opened the window, Mu Yan approached his eyes, shaking slightly, and the bamboo tube swayed. Manager Qin found the bamboo tube, Xiao Xiaoyi took out the cloth from the bamboo tube, unfolded it and looked at it, his heart was shocked, the muscles on his face twitched, and he quickly turned around and went in. After a while, he came to the window again, stuffed the cloth back into the bamboo tube, and was about to think about getting something to feed the wooden sticker, but he didn't want the wood to turn around and fly away.
Seeing that Mu Yan was gone, Manager Qin closed the window and slowly walked back to the recliner, his hands were already starting to tremble a little. Seeing Elder Du looking at him with the same uneasiness, Chief Manager Qin finally couldn't help but speak: "It's going to be a big mess, it's going to be a big mess, how can it be the Black Riding City? What the hell is the Rong family doing? How can we let the people from the Black Riding City in? Should we report it to the sect and the county government immediately?"
Elder Du shook his head, his face full of despair: "Who sent the letter here, is it the sect or the county government? We can only hold on. Seeing that Chief Manager Qin's face turned pale, he sighed again.
Elder Du's next words were not only like telling Chief Qin, but also like he was naturally saying to himself: "There are lurking people, there will also be people who are surrounding, and we will destroy as many as we send, it's useless." Speaking of which, if the Rong family colludes with the Black Riding City to lure the wolf and drive the tiger, Zhennanwei and Zhenbeiweizhong, the Chengxi family has no hope. The Rong family is the only one, and there is an old lady as a backer, who can do anything to him? If the Black Horse City lurks, the goal should be to capture two 50,000 stone warships, as long as they succeed, the inside and the outside should be combined, Zhennanwei will be in danger. ”
Looking at the melancholy on Manager Qin's face, Elder Du's face seemed to be smiling: "Regardless of whether the Rong family colludes or not, it should be the Grand Duke who is worried, not us." We are now Warren's subordinates, not even Qingyunmen. As long as Hua Lun can defend Qingyunfang and the dock, it has nothing to do with us who Zhendongwei is in his hands. However, we need to be careful with this afternoon's auction. ”
When Chief Manager Qin heard this, he was a little relieved, stood up and said, "I'll go and make arrangements, let the two warships be careful, don't let them succeed, just stay up until after the auction handover in the afternoon." Also, send a letter to Warren. Hearing this, Elder Du nodded, and shook his head again. Manager Qin hesitated for a moment, but still lifted his steps and walked out of the door. The two of them didn't expect that it was Warren who sent the letter, after all, Warren has several people, and everyone knows it. In their opinion, Warren and others can fight and kill, if they can still collect and sort out information, it is not something they can understand.
Just after noon, there was a gong sound in Qingyunfang, and after half an hour, the wharf and the carriage and horse avenue suddenly became sparsely populated. The market is still bustling, and some people dressed up in noble clothes are constantly entering the newly built auction hall.
Qingyun Auction Hall is a special two-story structure, the first floor is the auction hall with a length and width of about ten zhang, entering from the south gate, and the northernmost auction display area is set up with a height of one person, which is triangular, accounting for about one percent of the entire hall area. The rest of the area, except for the space to walk through the corridor and the escalator up the stairs, is all arranged for the guests to sit separately. The front of the scattered seats has the feeling of enclosing the auction display area, making the auction table at the very front of the display area closer to the center of the scattered seats. This layout makes the greatest use of space and shortens the distance between the auctioneer and the audience as much as possible. It is estimated that it can accommodate nearly 800 people.
Above the entire exhibition area, it leads to the roof of the auction house. The second floor is also the auction display area on the first floor of the shared auction hall, so it is designed as a semi-circular structure, with hanging VIP rooms around the auction table on the east, west and south sides, and there are windows on the side facing the auction table, inlaid with a window screen woven from ice silk, so that the auctioneer can be clearly seen, but the outside people cannot see the inside.
The second floor is not suitable for VIP rooms, and has been built into storage rooms and reception rooms for stewards and deacons. The auction hall of Qingyunfang was set up in a hurry, and there were no professional auctioneers. The bulk general goods auction a few days ago was all the stewards of Qingyunfang as auctioneers, but fortunately, that kind of auction does not need gimmicks or professional introductions.
Today's auction items are all above the elixir level, and the individual prices are all hundreds of thousands of gold coins, which ordinary stewards cannot do. Warren and the others discussed, and finally decided that Song Chuanzhi, the father of the sea rabbit, would preside over the auction, and the old fart would accompany him. Song Chuanzhi wants to preside over Huashenghe's business in the future, and he must have some connections.
At the auction a few days ago, there were quite a few people who came, but there were not a few people of distinguished status, at least no one applied to enter the VIP room. At noon today, there were suddenly many people holding various posts to visit Elder Du and Chief Manager Qin. Some are directly the elites of the major families and major sects, and some are the recommended posts of the official figures who hold the principality and the county. Elder Du and Chief Manager Qin can be regarded as having seen the world, picking and choosing, except for leaving two first-class rooms for Hua Lun and them, the remaining more than twenty boxes have all been divided.
In less than three moments, Song Chuanzhi and the old fart came down from the escalators on both sides of the auction table, and the originally noisy auction hall slowly quieted down.
