Chapter 34: The Fallen Su Xian
Ye Chen was a little lucky, fortunately, Han Ling'er asked Han Ye to give him 12 gold coins before leaving, otherwise he would have even bought a ferry ticket.
In that case, he would really have to go kayaking.
After the fat guard took the money, he respectfully gave Ye Chen an ordinary ferry ticket.
The fat guard did not despise Ye Chen because he bought an ordinary ticket, because the fat guard knew that there were many powerful high-level magicians who were very low-key, and they often liked to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers.
And Ye Chen's dress is in his eyes, which is a symbol of a high-level magician.
"Lord Qiyu, the Xiongwen set off from the Lele River Valley and headed for the Spring Coast. The boat will leave in 1 hour and will arrive at the final destination at Kasuga Coast at about 8.00 a.m. tomorrow. ”
Tomorrow morning?
It's only five o'clock in the afternoon!
How does it take so long?
Ye Chen expressed his doubts: "Why does it take so long?"
In Ye Chen's impression, the speed of the Xiongwen at sea is very fast, and it stands to reason that it should be able to reach the spring coast in three or four hours.
The fat guard hurriedly explained, for fear of making Ye Chen unhappy.
"Lord Qiqi, because there is an auction on the Xiongwen tonight, I will stay at sea for a while, I hope your lordship will forgive me. ”
Auctions?
Ye Chen asked curiously, "Can only VIP tickets participate in the auction?"
"My lord, it's not like that, there will be two auctions, one in the palace and another on the deck. However, there are more types of auctions in the palace and the prices are higher, while the auctions on the deck are slightly inferior in variety and price. ”
Ye Chen nodded, it seems that it is not unreasonable for VIP tickets to be sold so expensive.
However, Ye Chen didn't have that much money, even if he bought a VIP ticket, he might not be able to buy the things in the auction in the palace.
So let's go to the auction on the deck tonight, anyway, he hasn't seen the auction yet, so he needs to see it tonight.
Then Ye Chen thanked the fat guard and went down the stairs to the boat.
Ye Chen, who walked to the deck, looked around.
Seeing that the area on the deck was very large, Ye Chen estimated that such a large space could accommodate at least tens of thousands of people.
At this time, there were already thousands of people on the deck, some of them chatting in groups, some of them closed their eyes and recuperated, so lively.
At the gate of the palace not far away, there are also many people concentrated, and it seems that the number of rich people is quite large.
Ye Chen casually found a place with few people and sat down.
Ye Chen, who sat down, was not idle, and immediately began to meditate.
Because Ye Chen knew that those who achieved great things in ancient times not only had the talent of superheroes, but also had the will to persevere.
The magic crystal must be devoured, but meditation cannot be left behind!
But at this moment, the conversation between the two people not far away attracted Ye Chen's attention.
Passerby A said, "Hey, have you heard?"
"What's the matter?" asked Passerby B.
Passerby A replied: "It's the matter of the Su family's steamed bun shop." ”
"You mean the Su family's steamed bun shop that was raided because of the rebellion some time ago?" Passerby B immediately gossiped and continued to ask, "What's the matter, what happened to their family?"
Passerby A looked around cautiously, and then whispered: "It is said that Su Xian, the daughter of the Su family, was assigned as a slave, and it will be auctioned on the deck tonight, and the one with the highest price can take her home." ”
Passerby B was a little unconvinced: "It's really fake, doesn't it mean that the young master of the Lun family, Lun Xuelan, has been chasing Su Xian?
Passerby A explained: "Su Xian's auction is an order from the Zijin Emperor. Although the Lun family is rich and powerful on the Spring Coast, they don't dare to disobey the holy decree. ”
Passerby A paused, and cautiously leaned into the ear of passerby B and continued: "But I heard that Lun Xuelan operated in the dark, secretly transferred Su Xian from the auction in the palace to the auction on the deck, and then arranged for a subordinate to buy Su Xian for 5 gold coins. Do you think, who can afford 5 gold coins from the people on this deck, and who would want to spend so much money to buy a woman? ”
Passerby B nodded, agreeing with Passerby A's words: "That's right, it's not good to do something with 5 gold coins, if I had 5 gold coins, I wouldn't spend it here." Hey, it's a bit of a pity, this Su Xian wants to have a good look, a good figure, I didn't expect it to be so cheap for this young master. ”
"Yes, it's a pity that a good bun Shih Tzu is going to be ruined by this kind of dog thing that eats people and doesn't spit out bones. I think I have eaten Su Xian to make steamed buns, and the taste is really delicious!"
......
Because of his outstanding mental strength, Ye Chen knew everything about what was happening within thirty meters around him, and he naturally heard the conversation between the two clearly.
Su Xian?
Could it be the Su Immortal that Han Ling'er mentioned?
Ye Chen touched his nose, he didn't expect her family to rebel, it seems that he is really a fellow believer.
In other words, this Su Xian is a good home cook that Ye Chen is looking for, and she is an important partner who will work with Ye Chen to expand the food business on the Boya Continent in the future.
Whether Ye Chen can rely on food to make a lot of money can count on this Su Xian!
Therefore, Ye Chen would not be willing to watch Su Xianyang enter the tiger's mouth.
Yes, that's right, get her out!
However, before that, Ye Chen needed to inquire about Su Xian's auction clearly.
Ye Chen then walked to passer-by A and passer-by B, who had just chatted very well, and asked, "This big brother, you just said that Lun Xuelan arranged for a subordinate to shoot Su Xian at the price of 5 gold coins, is the news true?"
Passerby A was taken aback, could it be that all the conversation between him and passer-by B just now was heard by the black-robed man in front of him?
But there is a gap of more than 20 meters between them!
Could it be that the man in front of him is a noble magician?
He can't afford to offend a magician!
Passerby A swallowed nervously, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Qiyu, it's true, because the subordinate sent by Lun Xuelan today is my cousin, and this news also came out of his mouth." ”
Ye Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Did that Lun Xuelan get on the boat?"
"Lord Qiyu, Lun Xuelan didn't get on the boat in order to avoid suspicion, and only arranged for my cousin to get on the boat. ”
Ye Chen continued to ask, "Are you sure your cousin only brought 5 gold coins?"
Passerby A replied in a low voice: "Although this Lun Xuelan's family is very rich, he is very stingy, and the reason why he transferred Su Xian's auction to the deck is to save money. So he only gave my cousin 5 gold coins. ”
"Then have you ever heard that someone else wants to buy Su Xian?"
Passerby A shook his head: "It seems that I haven't heard of anyone else, the Lun family is also a big family on the Spring Coast, so most people don't want to offend their family." ”
