Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

Lingyun Mansion, a large city at the foot of the Lieyan Sect Mountain was named Lieyan City because of the Lieyan Sect's fame.

There is a small town forty miles away from Lieyan City, called Ubud Town. Because it is close to Lieyan City, the town is quite prosperous, with people coming and going on the streets, a dazzling array of shops, and twos and threes gathering in restaurants.

A handsome young man in white robe and a charming woman in white were walking quietly among the crowd on the street.

Because of the Lieyan Sect, Lingyun Mansion was not troubled by the war, so the people's lives were stable.

Li Yuan looked around, looking at the array of shops, pedestrians shopping and trading, and all kinds of people flowing on the street.

There are many people here who are satisfied with getting what they want, but there are also some people with sad faces and embarrassment, while more people are clenching their fists and working hard to move forward towards their goals with firm eyes.

All living things!

Ah Qing watched Li Yuan beside him looking at all kinds of people on the street with interest, his clear eyes flashing slightly.

She didn't understand why Li Yuan wanted to avoid the people of Lieyan Sect, but wandered all the way to Lieyan Sect.

But given her temperament, she didn't say much when she had questions.

Li Yuan noticed A Qing's eyes and already understood the doubts in her heart. He smiled softly, and a faint true energy enveloped the two of them. Only the two of them could hear the sound.

"If Ruo Gu, Liu Yanxin and the others step into Lingyun Mansion together, what they see and hear in Lingyun Mansion is what they want Gu to see."

Li Yuan paused, his deep eyes making waves.

"Lingyun Mansion and Lingyie Mansion are the two easiest and most difficult to deal with in Lingzhou. The other prefectures and counties are broken and then established, so it is easy to attack them directly. However, Lieyan Sect, as the big force that initially took refuge in Gu, has no way of dealing with these two houses. , Gu still has to worry about the feelings of Liu Qingquan and other elders."

"Your Highness is afraid that Lieyan Sect will become proud and indulgent because he helped the King of Chu to seize Lingzhou and establish it. He thinks of himself as a great hero!"

Ah Qing is also a smart woman, and Li Yuan can understand everything at once.

Li Yuan nodded slightly, "They are indeed great heroes, and those who should be rewarded have already been rewarded. The senior officials of Lieyan Sect should understand what Gu means, but they are afraid that some people below cannot see the situation clearly and their behavior will change. They are even more unscrupulous and need to be suppressed."

Ah Qing nodded slightly, the king of hell is easy to hide from, but the kid is difficult to deal with.

This time His Highness came, in addition to taking control of Lingyun Mansion and Lingyie Mansion, he wanted to frighten the Lieyan Sect, but he also wanted to not chill the hearts of Liu Qingquan and the other elders.

"However, along our journey, the systems of each city are still good, and the children of those families are quite law-abiding." Ah Qing's smart eyes turned slightly, revealing a smile.

Li Yuan shook his head slightly and disagreed: "Now that the entire Lingyun Mansion knows about my king's arrival, won't those families control their children? Most of those dandy children must be locked up in the manor and not allowed to come out, so I am not ready to explore the city. But let’s see if the scene in the small town is like this. If even the people in the small town can live a stable life, it means that Lieyan Sect has done a good job, and Gu will naturally reward him."

"Of course, we can also use this time to relax and have fun."

Li Yuan originally had another idea, which was to go to Linglie Mansion for a walk, but this was too obvious, and he obviously didn't believe in Lieyan Sect.

Playing in Lingyun Mansion privately can still be explained, and it can slightly shock the Lieyan Sect.

The two of them walked around the town quietly, looking at the novel gadgets. Some of them made Ah Qing interested. Of course, Li Yuan was generous about this. Ah Qing would buy whatever he liked.

Soon, the two of them walked to the busiest street in the town, with a constant flow of people and various noises.

At this moment, a scene attracted the attention of Li Yuan and Ah Qing. A group of people gathered around a small stall. Most of the people surrounding this stall were women, with bright eyes and excited fingers. pointing.

The stall owner was a fat man. He saw the women around him looking at the pets he was about to sell with great covetousness, and the smile on his face almost overflowed.

"Madams and ladies, come and take a look. This is the cat panda that I narrowly escaped death and came out of the Cangyan Mountains. You must all know the so-called cat panda. It looks cute and cute, black and white and furry. It is loved by thousands of girls. Ruo Na This woman is leading this panda on the street, it will definitely attract everyone’s attention!”

Moreover, despite its cuteness and cuteness, this panda is not inferior to ferocious beasts such as the Purple and White Demon Bear and the Tianlan Tiger.

Now he is comparable to an acquired warrior, and he will be an innate master when he becomes an adult!

You can play with and caress the panda at will inside, and it is a top-notch ferocious beast to defend against enemies outside. It is cute and powerful, and it is simply the favorite pet of thousands of girls. "

The stall owner patted the panda who was eating Yuzhu and said proudly that although the panda now has the strength of the acquired realm, he still behaves like a harmless human and animal.

When the surrounding girls, young women, and old aunties heard the temptation of the stall owner and the double temptation of the panda, their eyes became even more eager. The women with male companions held his arms tightly and looked at the male companion with piercing eyes.

It seems like I want to say, I want it, I want it!

Buy it, buy it!

As long as you buy it, you can do whatever you want with me in the future, even in that posture!

And those rich girls looked at each other with Ling Ling eyes, revealing their naked eyes. They must get this rare panda.

Whoever gets it will be a well-deserved hot spot in the circle of little sisters.

Passers-by walking around also heard the stall owner's voice and saw the cute panda and panda. They also gathered around.

Ah Qing’s eyes lit up even more, such a cute pet, and it also likes to eat bamboo!

He walked towards the stall involuntarily.

When Li Yuan looked at this panda, oh, isn't this a panda? With its big black eyes, fat body, and short limbs, it looks extremely cute. Looking at the naive look, Li Yuan couldn't help but reveal A sense of intimacy.

But it’s not particularly strange. There are tigers, bears, and snakes in this world. Why are there not pandas? Because the world is full of spiritual energy, so their fighting power is also quite amazing. In order to survive, some warriors often go to the mountains where there are many ferocious beasts to hunt monsters.

Because Li Yuan has a very high status, he rarely comes into contact with this kind of thing.

When the stall owner saw that the atmosphere he had created had arrived, he clasped his hands and said loudly: "I won't say much here, this panda is rare and hard to find in the world, and he will still be an innate master in the future.

As we all know, asking an innate master to make a move costs at least one thousand taels of silver. The starting price of this panda is ten thousand taels of silver! "

Well……

Immediately, this price eliminated more than half of the people, and many girls looked sadly. They gritted their teeth and could still compete for one or two thousand, but when they looked at this, it was ten thousand taels.

Although the price is expensive, there are still a few people on the street who can pay the price.

"I'll give you two thousand taels of gold!!" said a man in gorgeous clothes.

The female companion next to her was even more excited. Her huge chest was pressed tightly against the man's body, and she looked at the panda with eager eyes.

The ratio of gold to silver is one to ten.

Two thousand taels of gold is equivalent to twenty thousand taels of silver.

As soon as his words came out, most of the people around him were still looking around with smiles.

Because it has nothing to do with them, they can't afford ten thousand taels of silver, and even if they could, they wouldn't be willing to buy it.

But there are still many women who look at men with envy and jealously at the brainless woman next to the man. It would be great if they could replace her.

When the man looked at some of the women around him looking at him with envy, he felt heartbroken and at the same time, he felt even more proud. He puffed up his chest and let them see his tall body. His arms were wide and big, and he could melt all four sides. indivual.

Looking at the cute panda, the man could already think in his heart that he would attract many girls with this panda. One-on-two, one-on-four, one-on-six!

Just thinking about it makes me excited!

However, before he could be proud for long, another voice sounded:

"I'll pay three thousand!"

A fat and rich man looked at the panda with a smile and an expression that he was determined to win. If the panda appeared in Fierce Flame City, its value would increase ten to twenty times. He, Guo Tai, would make a lot of money!

As a shrewd businessman, Guo Tai certainly did not resell this kind of panda, but after getting it himself, he went to Lieyan City to use this panda to give away to the young lady of the big family!

At that time, let alone money, you can also earn a big favor. If the lady of the big family shows a little bit of fingernails, you can make a lot of money in Fierce Flame City!

What’s the use of being cute?

Having connections and money is the way to go!

As soon as the three thousand taels of gold came out, everyone fell silent and looked at the man who made the first offer.

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Three thousand one hundred taels!"

When Guo Tai saw his appearance, he smiled lightly and said calmly:

"Three thousand one hundred and fifty taels!"

The man opened his eyes and thought about the probability that his father would break his legs after he added more money!

The stall owner looked at him expectantly. These two were the only ones who could bid now. It would be great if they could raise the price.

He also knew that it would be easier to sell in Fierce Flame City, but there were too many people there that he couldn't afford to offend, and he couldn't control it. He just had to get a satisfactory price.

"Let's go eat." Finally, after struggling for a few seconds, the man pulled the woman who was clinging to his arm and left.

"Okay, Brother Cheng, let's go eat something delicious!" The woman next to him glanced at the panda with a full expression of pity, but quickly acted like a little bird who cares about the man and understands him.

"Let's go!" Sure enough, the man saw that the woman did not make trouble unreasonably, but accommodated him. He hugged her tightly and secretly decided to buy more gifts for her later.

Seeing the two people leaving, everyone was disappointed. They looked at the panda a few more times, and they knew that the panda was about to fall into the hands of this fat man.

Just when Guo Tai thought he had succeeded, a special voice came out.

"I'll pay three thousand two hundred taels!"

When everyone heard the news, many women's eyes lit up. What a handsome young man!

Although Li Yuan's face changed into a reserved and majestic one at this moment, his extraordinary temperament was revealed in the crowd, and the beautiful masked woman in white next to him instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the street.

When Guo Tai saw Li Yuan, he secretly said something bad. Looking at Li Yuan's temperament, it was obvious that he had a good background.

"Four thousand taels!"

This time it was Guo Tai's turn to grit his teeth.

It's not that he can't offer a higher price, but he's afraid that it won't be cost-effective, and he's even more afraid of offending the young master. This increase in price is his last act of stubbornness.

The stall owner was overjoyed and looked at Li Yuan, expecting him to shout out a higher price!

"Forty thousand and one taels of silver!"

Li Yuan saw Guo Tai's thoughts and said calmly.

Of course, Li Yuan didn't mean to insult him, but he just didn't want to spend extra money.

With three thousand taels of gold, the stall owner has already made a lot of money. An extra one tael of silver is already a big deal. After all, the smallest denomination in his hand is silver taels.

Well!

When the stall owner saw that Li Yuan only added one tael of silver, his face fell. He looked at Li Yuan up and down with a faint look of contempt.

With such a beautiful girl next to me, plus an outstanding temperament, just one or two? And it’s still silver!

Such a handsome and handsome face is lost in vain.

Wow!

This young man is so industrious and thrifty!

The girls, young women, and old aunts next to him looked at Li Yuan with their eyes shining brightly. He was handsome and smart, and he didn't waste money. Isn't this their ideal man?

There was a look of astonishment in Guo Tai's eyes. He looked at Li Yuan with all his face. His heart became more solemn and he was more serious about Li Yuan. At such a young age, he could see through his own attitude and he didn't care about his external image. This person was definitely different from ordinary people. !

You can only make friends, never offend!

"Oh, now I only have three thousand taels of gold and three cents in my body, otherwise I would be competing with the young master."

Guo Tai had a smile on his face, without the slightest hint of anger at having his favorite thing taken away from him, and congratulated Li Yuan.

"That's quite a coincidence. This... Young Master also happens to have a little extra silver."

When Li Yuan saw Guo Tai lowering his body and giving himself a step up, he behaved naturally and kindly.

"Is there no more bids? If there are no more bids, then this panda will belong to this young master."

After seeing Guo Tai give up, the stall owner shouted to everyone again.

"Wait a minute, I will offer fifty thousand taels of silver!"

At this time, a handsome young man ran over quickly, followed by a charming and lovely girl.

When he panted and rushed into the crowd, he took a look at the cute panda and was relieved that the cute panda had not been bought.

He also just learned that there was a panda seller here, so he ran over immediately and finally arrived.

"Wow, what a bear!"

The lovely woman behind him seemed to be in better shape than him. She ran here without even taking a breath. When she saw the black and white panda, her eyes shone and she almost jumped up.

When everyone saw the brother and sister, they immediately recognized them.

"It turns out to be Mr. Chen and Miss Chen."

"Their father is the county magistrate!"

The Mr. Chen who was being discussed by everyone, Chen Hao, clasped his fists at Li Yuan and said apologetically:

"Brother, I'm sorry, my roommate also likes this panda very much!"

"No problem, sixty thousand taels!"

Li Yuan is not angry either. Bidding is fair competition, and whoever pays more belongs to him.

"Thank you, brother. No matter who the deal is with, I will be the host and invite you to have a drink together at the restaurant later. It's seventy thousand taels!"

Chen Hao glanced at Li Yuan gratefully. Anyway, others were ready to trade just now. It would be unethical for him to step in. But his sister has always wanted a panda and really doesn't want to give up. He can only apologize later. .

The cute girl Chen Ziwei next to him had her eyes shining, staring at the panda eating bamboo.

"Eighty thousand taels!"

…

"Eighty-three thousand!"

…

"Eighty-six thousand!"

…

"Ninety thousand taels!"

…

"Ninety-seven"

…

Li Yuan and Chen Hao increased the price without any hesitation!

The people around them opened their eyes wide and looked at the excitement. Every time they increased the price, they cheered.

At this moment, an arrogant and arrogant voice came out:

"Ten thousand taels, I want it!"
