When the three of them walked to the counter, they found the sleepy old man behind the counter, and when they saw a few people coming, the old man threw out three hands professionally and casually, and didn't even say a word.

At this time, Zhang Han pushed the three cards forward, as if he was not going to take them at all, but smiled slightly and said, "We came here today to find the Seventh Master." ”

"Looking for the Seventh Master?"

The old man's confused eyes instantly lit up a lot, "What are you doing with us?"

Zhang Han's face under the oil lamp moved slightly, "Of course, you can only say it when you see the seventh master." ”

The old man snorted coldly, but he didn't refuse, because there were not many people who could know that there was a person like the Seventh Master, and he thought that he should be a regular customer of the Seventh Master, so the old man walked out of the counter with a rickety body, beckoned quite casually, and led the three of them towards a dilapidated wardrobe.

However, when the old man opened the door of the wardrobe, Xu Chen and Pan An were shocked, it turned out that it was not a wardrobe at all, but a secret door, which was brightly lit and crowded, and the stalls inside were also dazzling, but without exception there were so-called controlled items.

It's not noisy, but it always has a lively feel.

This is the famous black market in the capital, and it is so famous that the Son of Heaven knows it today, but although the Son of Heaven wants to level this place directly, such a hidden and dilapidated place involves the interests of many people, including the ministers of the court, so although the Son of Heaven has this heart, he does not dare to act rashly.

The old man led the three of them across the hall, and finally came to a rather remote corner, where a middle-aged man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks was sitting leisurely, and he observed the situation in the whole hall from time to time, casually and complacently.

The old man led the three of them to the middle-aged man, and then turned to leave without saying a word.

Zhang Han nodded slightly, offering a common smile in the business field, "Seventh Master!"

The middle-aged man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks didn't pay attention at first, and when he heard the voice, he looked at the three of them but didn't speak, as if he didn't know Zhang Han at all, since he didn't know the origin, and he didn't know the purpose of the other party, so he just looked at it like this, which was probably just a habit.

"Huh!"

Zhang Han smiled again, "Seventh Master, I'm here to buy one this time, it's the pure black one, I heard that the one was dug up from some ancient tomb." ”

The Seventh Master glanced at Zhang Han gloomily, and said coldly: "Well, it seems that you came prepared! What do you say?

Zhang Han nodded slightly, "That's it, it's hard to say overnight." You've probably forgotten that I bought the scabbard of that sword from here!"

"Last time?"

The seventh master narrowed his eyes for a moment, and then said with a sigh: "This last time was too far away, it will take six or seven years, right?"

As he spoke, he cracked his mouth, as if he was trying to move towards something, and suddenly, as if he remembered something, and then smiled slightly, "Ah! You're the owner of that antique shop, aren't you? Hehe, since you're an old customer, it's much easier." To be honest, the sword is still there, but the price is ......"

As he spoke, the seventh master twisted the clothes on his chest, as if he was extremely embarrassed but very accustomed to it.

Zhang Han smiled slightly, looked at a big wooden box behind the seventh master, as if he knew what kind of goods this seventh master was, so he said heartily, "This price is naturally set by you, how about the second price?"

The Seventh Master got up lazily, and then directly opened the huge wooden box, rummaged through it for a while, and at some point, he leaned deep into his waist, and a pure black short sword covered with dust appeared in his hand.

He turned back to his seat, and then slapped the black sword directly on a small table in front of him, and there was a loud noise, "Since you are an old customer, how can I hack you? To be honest, this is really a good sword, and it is the master who has never known the goods." ”

At this time, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Han with an expression, and said sincerely: "Since you know who I am, then you are willing to know that I don't live on these things at all, and the dividends of the whole field are enough for me to spend, so I don't want to make any money from you, I also received the goods back then, since the scabbard is with you, this is also related to you, a fixed price, seven thousand taels, you take it!"

"Seven thousand taels!"

Zhang Han was stupid all of a sudden, although he just said quite a tyrant "the price is as you go", but he really didn't expect that the other party was really just casually opened.

You must know that he used less than two hundred taels of silver to buy the scabbard back then, which was already a sky-high price for him, but he didn't expect that this sword would rise to seven thousand taels.

Because he didn't buy it himself, he couldn't make a decision, but turned his head slightly and glanced at Xu Chen next to him.

Who would have thought, Xu Chen shook his cuffs slightly, and a black scabbard slipped out directly, and the next moment, Xu Chen grabbed the pure black short sword directly from the table.

"Cangchang" sounded.

The short sword went straight into the sheath, Xu Chen gently shook it, the weight was very heavy, and the sword body and the scabbard were quite consistent.

Xu Chen pulled out the short sword again, and only then did he take a closer look.

This is a short sword that can just reach two feet, the sword body is only two fingers wide, and it matches the short sword body very well, but like the scabbard, the entire sword body has almost no patterns, and even the hilt is very simple, and it can even be said to be bare.

There is no common blood groove on the blade, and even the blade does not look very sharp, if ordinary people look at it, they must treat it as an ornament, but Xu Chen likes it inexplicably, and even can't put it down.

It's not just that it's short and simple, but because it seems to exude unpredictable aura fluctuations.

The next moment, Xu Chen nodded, and before the seventh master could say anything, he put the short sword into his cuff, and then he took out a few silver tickets on his chest with his other hand, and gently placed them on the dilapidated wooden table.

"Haha! It's still a little brother who is quite knowledgeable and has a cheerful personality. ”

As he spoke, the seventh master put the silver ticket into his arms, and his smile was quite bright.

After buying the sword, the three of them were naturally about to leave, but as soon as they turned around, they saw a man in a blue robe looking at them calmly, to be precise, staring at Xu Chen.

This man looks to be about the same age as the Seventh Master, but he has an indescribable nobility and elegance, holding a wooden folding fan in his hand, but it has never been opened, and it seems that it is just a decorative item.

When the man saw the three of them turn around, he smiled and said, "This little brother, can you go to the teahouse with me and sit down?"

"Huh?"

The three of them were all stunned, and a stranger came over directly to go on a date, what kind of thing is this.

Xu Chen slowly raised his head and replied softly, "I think you recognized the wrong person, I'm afraid we don't know each other, right?"

"Don't recognize?"

The man smiled peacefully, shook the folding fan in his hand that had not been opened, and said, "Can't we have a cup of tea together if we don't know each other?" Are you afraid that I will plot against you?"

At this time, Pan An leaned over, leaned on Xu Chen's ear and whispered: "Damn! This man doesn't look at your eyebrows and eyes, that, that one has a crush on you, right? I have heard, but there is such a good person, who doesn't like women, and specializes in men." ”

"Get out!"

Xu Chen scolded in a low voice, and then continued to say to the man: "Since we don't know each other, then I'm afraid there is no need to chat, farewell!"

After speaking, Xu Chen strode forward, but at that moment, an open fan suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and the fan appeared so suddenly that even Xu Chen didn't react.

What's more, the moment the fan opened, Xu Chen clearly felt a strong aura fluctuation, I don't know if it was Xu Chen, at this time, many guests who walked around at will suddenly listened to the footsteps and looked at this side stupidly.

However, as the man in front of him looked around, those people avoided his gaze without exception.

After being suddenly startled, Xu Chen only held the short sword that had just arrived in his sleeve, ready to mutate at any time.

However, before he could question the man, the man spoke himself, but what he said was not the whole paragraph, but a few simple words, "Danyang City, Yong'an Town, Xu Family." ”

"Huh?"

Xu Chen's surprise turned into shock, some sweat slowly oozing out of his hand holding the short sword, he didn't know who the man in front of him was, and he didn't know the purpose of the other party.

However, the other party knows his own details, what kind of situation this is.

The most important thing is that the other party just opened the fan and obviously wanted to prove his strength to him, which made Xu Chen not how to play with the other party for a while.

"Well, I guess you'd better go sit down, or you're going to have a bad day." ”

After speaking, the man turned around with a smile and walked in the direction of the exit, as if he expected Xu Chen to follow behind.

At this time, Xu Chen muttered a few words to Zhang Han and Pan An, probably meaning that the two of them should go first, and then, Xu Chen followed the man straight out of the hall.

The man didn't speak, and when he left the black market, he walked directly to a teahouse next to Xiaoye Street.

Of course, Pan An was afraid that he would follow Zhang Han all the time except for something, but when he saw the two of them walking into the teahouse, he knew that it was not good to follow up, so he called his carriage over, and then waited for Xu Chen to come out in the carriage.

The teahouse was very deserted, and the man seemed to be very familiar with this place, and took Xu Chen up to the second floor.

This second floor can no longer be described by the word deserted, it should be called no one.

When Xu Chen followed the man and sat down by the window, the man casually pointed to the carriage downstairs and said, "It seems that your brother is not very relieved!"

Hearing this, Xu Chen smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, even I am not very relieved!"

Although his expression was as flat as usual, his hand never left the dagger.

At this time, I saw the man turn his head, look at Xu Chen calmly and say, "Actually, we have met, but I could see you at that time, but you couldn't see me." ”
