I have a city that never sleeps
Chapter 27
After Ji Wuxin left, the rooftop was silent.
Shao Kang looked at the back of the gracefully leaving with a wry smile, feeling helpless in his heart.
It really surprised him that Miss Xin'er still had such a willful and unrestrained side.
The maidservants on both sides had already respectfully bowed and asked him to leave. Shao Kang knew that he would never see Miss Xin'er again, so he could only go downstairs with the wooden box in his arms.
"Master Shao." The servant girl suddenly reminded, "Miss Xin'er asked the servant girl to remind you that this wooden box contains great secrets of life and death, and must not be shown to others lightly. Please check carefully after you go back."
"Confidential?" Shao Kang was startled, the black box in his hand, which he didn't care much about, suddenly weighed a thousand catties.
He hugged it tightly, his face was a little uneasy, thinking of what Miss Xin'er said, there is a high probability that this wooden box is not for him, but for the prince.
Could it be that Evernight City investigated the secret information about the prince, because the prince was not here and handed it over to him?
Thinking of all the confidential information that Miss Xin'er had told him, it was impossible for Shao Kang to just take it as a joke, and his expression immediately became serious.
On the way out of Qingfeng Pavilion, he met countless people who were curious about why he went upstairs, but he politely refused and quickly went back to the inn to close the door carefully, and then he suppressed his nervousness and gently opened the wooden box.
There is only a piece of scented paper in the wooden box, but there are many words.
Shao Kang also took the time to appreciate the elegant small script on the hairpin flower, and read it carefully, only to see that it reads:
[Tomorrow, there will be thieves who will attack the Holy One.The left minister happened to capture the assassin nearby and put him in Dali Temple for interrogation.In a few days, it will be announced to the world that this thief is a person sent by Prince Zhao. 】
"!!!"
This is……? !
A preview of what's to come? ?
Shao Kang's heart tightened suddenly, and he forgot to breathe for a while.
It took him a long time to gasp for air, his eyes fixed on the paper, and he almost crumpled the paper because of too much force.
Miss Xin'er still has the ability to predict the future?
……Do not.
wrong.
Shao Kang quickly realized that this should not be groundless, but that Miss Xin'er had the exact information!
Leaving aside the authenticity of the information on the paper, just looking at the fact that the thief dared to assassinate the Holy Majesty and happened to be caught by the Prime Minister of the Left to slander the Prince, one knew that this must be a plot by the Prime Minister of the Left, and if it really happened, the consequences would be very serious!
This is very much like what the Left Prime Minister would do!
Believe it or not, you must be careful tomorrow night!
After secretly making up his mind to calm down, Shao Kang complicatedly kept the note close to him.
If this is true, it will completely prove that the city that never sleeps really controls the movements of the entire capital.
Just how huge this force is, they can only quietly know about the conspiracy of the left prime minister!It's really shocking!
The only thing to be thankful for is that this unknown and mysterious force is willing to support Prince Zhao. As Prince Zhao's staff, this is a great thing.
You must pass the information to the prince as soon as possible!
While Shao Kang was pondering here, Ji Wuxin from Qingfeng Pavilion had completed the task and was lazily leaning on the couch and eating fruit.
At this time, he had completely removed his make-up, and three thousand black hairs hung down his head, revealing his delicate face, but his peach blossom eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, had not changed at all, occasionally reflected in the hazy and soft candlelight, and could not be recognized. his real sex.
It's just that after taking off the famous actor's coat, his expression became more and more indifferent, and his demeanor was extremely casual, with a kind of casual and chic beauty.
"I'm so tired." He lazily uttered these words, propped his head on one hand, looked up at the brightly lit beautiful scenery outside the window, and stretched his waist, "But I earned more than 20 taels of silver in one night, isn't it okay?" .”
At this time, strike while the iron is hot and become Xiner, go downstairs and earn some money is the best policy, but Ji Wuxin blinked and decided to start messing around.
He clapped his hands, and suddenly a group of npc dancers filed in, walked forward and danced gracefully.
As soon as he waved, two npcs took the initiative to walk behind him and squeezed his waist and beat his back.
Turned on the system, bought a plate of melon seeds, and with a thought, Chu Zhi, who was still in the system hang-up, got an order to make some side dishes and wine and bring them to Qingfeng Pavilion.
After a while, Ji Wuxin was eating food, drinking wine and listening to ditties, not to mention how comfortable she was.
This is life.
Cool!
In front of people is a famous actor who disturbs the situation, and in the back is a chic and easy-going young man. This is the free life in Ji Wuxin's heart.
Work when it's time to work, and relax when it's time to relax. It's perfect.
After chatting with Prince Zhao's subordinates, Ji Wuxin lay down completely.
In fact, when he made his debut, he originally wanted to play the leading role of a well-loved actress, but when he saw that it was Prince Zhao's subordinates who helped him get ahead, his mind suddenly became active.
Although the current city that never sleeps is gradually on the right track, when will it be possible to reach the amount he wants by simply accumulating customers and selling goods?
Without money, he has no way to continue infrastructure construction, and if he has no way to continue infrastructure construction, he cannot obtain high achievement points.
The medicine to improve physical strength tempted him all the time, but he couldn't buy it, and his heart ached!
Therefore, Jiang Feng felt that he should open up more businesses, such as doing business with the most powerful people in the outside world!
But he doesn't know many outsiders who meet this point, the only ones he can think of are the nobles in the palace.The Left Prime Minister's party was a good choice, but it's a pity that they committed suicide. Jiang Feng has eliminated any possibility of any connection with them, so the only ones who can choose are the Right Prime Minister and his followers.
So Prince Zhao Qi Huan lit up in his vision.
Prince Zhao, Jiang Feng met several times with Chu Zhi's vest, and thought he was a smart man and had a high opinion of the city that never sleeps.
But that's not why Jiang Feng chose him.
The most important thing is Prince Zhao's royal status!
This means that he can inherit the throne, he... can ascend to that position!
That's right, what Jiang Feng thought of was what the world saw as treasonous and immoral. He wanted to single-handedly create a new emperor!
Today's emperor is weak and has no independent opinions. When he grows up, he is addicted to women and is a proper fool. After stepping down, he will have the most relaxed and comfortable life; As for Zhang Ling, not only is he still young, but he himself has no interest in the throne.
In the final plot, he will take the initiative to talk to the protagonist and tell his troubles about that position.If the protagonist persuades him that he should serve the people wholeheartedly as an emperor, he will compromise and ascend to the throne. If the protagonist thinks that he should follow his heart and roam freely, he will resign from the throne and hide his name.
Now Zhang Ling is just a little radish, and he only wants revenge. Naturally, Jiang Feng would not entrust such an important matter to him.
So if there is anyone who can replace the emperor to take that position, now there is only Prince Zhao.
Well, there is really no other choice.
However, Jiang Feng didn't just decide to choose him so easily. He was still testing whether Qi Huan had such qualifications. First of all, it depends on Qi Huan's attitude towards him, and secondly...
In Jiang Feng's memory, Qi Huan was just a supporting role in the game "Dream Back to Ancient Times". At the beginning, he helped the right minister to fight against the left minister, but was soon severely suppressed by the left minister, and finally ended up in a disastrous defeat in Lijing , and the incident mentioned in the note that Ji Wuxin handed to Shao Kang was the time he remembered the first time Qi Huan was criticized by the world and suppressed by the left.
So whether Qi Huan can escape this catastrophe is also what Jiang Feng wants to consider.
If the other party really has amazing advantages, he will use knowledge and intelligence to give Qi Huan great benefits, while conducting business with him, while suppressing Zuo Xiang to help him get into that position.
Everything depends on tomorrow night.
There was a soft knock on the door, and Ji Wuxin slowly opened her eyes. Her natural slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked out the door coldly: "What's the matter?"
The maid stood there respectfully, saluted and said: "Young master, the guests have almost left."
"So soon?" Ji Wuxin's face was a little strange, and she glanced at Shi Chen and found that it had been a quarter, and then suddenly realized, "They are going to the auction."
"Nothing." He ordered, "The guests will come back in a while, I'll take a nap first, don't let anyone disturb me."
Maid: "Yes."
Ji Wuxin lay on the couch and closed her eyes, her consciousness had already returned to Jiang Feng's body.
Before he could open his mouth to call someone, he felt something strange coming from his throat, and couldn't help coughing again.
He frowned, feeling the weakness of his body, and a disgusted coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Master."
When Zhang Ling walked in worriedly, Jiang Feng's face quickly returned to calm, and he gently picked up the folding fan and smiled, "It's time, let's go."
Zhang Ling observed his face carefully and found that his face was not that pale, so he felt relieved. He walked skillfully behind the wheelchair Jiang Feng was sitting on, and pushed the wheelchair forward.
Thanks to his presence, Ye Jianyi didn't need to appear on the stage. For a while, all three vests fell into a state of hanging up, and Jiang Feng felt much more relaxed.
When they were heading towards the shopping malls, a group of people talking and laughing also rushed to the shopping malls from various places.
They may not be interested in that legendary weapon, but it is said that being able to see the mysterious City Lord Jiang is enough to make them excited.
Familiar people gathered together in twos and threes, walked forward casually, and said in their mouths: "You have gone to see those shops, there are many good things!"
Song Kegang came out of the restaurant full of wine and food, and he couldn't help asking curiously: "What's there?"
"There are pills that temporarily restore qi and blood, pills that temporarily restore internal strength, pills that can temporarily calm the mind, pills that increase speed, etc., as long as you can think of fetishes, he sells them there. The price is very good, the most expensive bottle is only 400 taels of silver, usually only 100 taels."
"That's really cheap!" Song Ke's eyes were full of surprise. Compared with those ten thousand taels of dishes, it's not cheaper at 01:30.
But the other party sighed: "It's a pity that it's all temporary, and it's still incomparable with permanent promotion."
Song Ke nodded in agreement. Although this meal cost tens of thousands of taels, it increased his physical fitness in all aspects. I am afraid that the person who was able to draw with him before is no longer his opponent at all. Really worth it!
But the existence of these pills is still very necessary: "This statement is wrong. If you are in a crisis and unable to perform martial arts due to physical exhaustion, these pills are life-saving things, and you must not underestimate them!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after careful consideration, they found that what he said was indeed very reasonable, and immediately became excited: "Okay, I'll go buy some equipment when it arrives later. Buy two of each to try!"
"There are only two, I have already ordered five bottles of each, you are too few!"
"Well... when did you become so rich??"
"Ham, I have no money, but I can sell the house. In my heart, the house has been mortgaged and I can spend it freely."
"...Good guy, I'm direct good guy, you awesome!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing, walking three minutes faster, wanting to go to the store to buy their favorite things as soon as possible.
However, at this time, a figure wandered out from the restaurant, holding a jug of wine in his hand, and poured a sip into his mouth if he had nothing to do.
Pang Tianzong recognized who this person was, and frowned slightly: "He actually brought out the wine!"
There are so many people going to the restaurant, and I haven't seen anyone who would take out the wine. One is that the amount of wine in the city that never sleeps is limited, and most of them can't get it. The other is that those who get such precious wine can't wait to drink it all in one gulp. , Never reveal it, I didn't expect there to be fools deliberately showing off to others!
Song Ke also saw it: "This is Yuan Buqun. He is average in martial arts but unstoppable. He is the son of a wealthy merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. He spent money here in order to find some opportunities. Doesn't he know that his wealth should not be exposed?"
If you walk out carelessly like this, aren't you afraid that some people will be jealous?
In fact, because he was too eye-catching, many people secretly poked their eyes on him, especially staring at the jug of mellow wine with greed in their eyes.
However, Yuan Buqun didn't care about it at all, and he held up the jug as if showing off and said loudly: "This cup is the legendary daughter's red, 3000 taels of silver... But it's a trivial matter for me, it is indeed a limited edition fine wine, It’s indeed much better than the ones sold outside, but it’s a pity you can’t taste it…”
This sentence stirred up a thousand waves, everyone's face was livid, they looked at him proudly coldly, and were very unhappy in their hearts, some even sneered, remembering his appearance.
Yuan Buqun liked this kind of envious and jealous eyes, and his complacency became even more unbearable. Just when everyone couldn't bear to reprimand him, Yuan Buqun's exclamation suddenly sounded in his ears: "Oh!"
Everyone turned their heads to look at the same time, only to see a figure from behind snatch Yuan Buqun's wine, turned around and ran towards the gate of Nightless City, without any hesitation in his movements.
And Yuan Buqun fell to the ground in a daze, looking at his empty right hand, as if he hadn't recovered from the accident yet.
When the man ran a few meters away, the dumbfounded crowd and Yuan Buqun suddenly woke up and were shocked!
This is...someone robbed in public in the city that never sleeps? ?
Good guy, all heroes are here, this man dares to be so bold, he doesn't even need a mask!This is not even a face, just for a pot of wine? !
As for it!
... Well... if it's the wine from the city that never sleeps, it's fine.
It's just that he dared to snatch wine in the place where the sword god is, this man is really brave!
After looking at each other for a few breaths, Yuan Buqun cried out suddenly: "My wine, ouch! Return my wine!!"
Although everyone didn't like his ostentatious face, they couldn't just watch someone robbing in the city that never sleeps. Song Ke immediately shouted: "I'll go after him first, you crush the token and notify the city lord!"
Yuan Buqun was startled, and immediately smashed the token in a hurry.
At this moment, Jiang Feng, who was still on his way, obviously felt something. With a thought, two figures suddenly appeared around the token, and after a glance at each other, Qiqi used lightness kung fu to catch up with the fleeing man without saying a word. .
"What?!" Song Ke and the others were about to get up and chase after them, when they saw two shadows passing by their sides quickly, and they were shocked.
After careful identification, it turned out to be the backs of Sword God Ye Jianyi and Chu Zhixia.
When exactly did they come?Why did it appear at the moment the token was crushed?These questions were unknown to everyone, and they were quite at a loss, but they all subconsciously used lightness kung fu to follow their backs and fly away.
Song Ke tried to shout from behind: "Brother Ye, it was Yin Cang from the Tibetan Sword Sect who robbed Daughter Hong. The Tibetan Sword Sect has a bad reputation and loves sneak attacks in battle. Brother Ye, be careful!"
Ye Jianyi didn't turn his head back, but nodded to express his understanding, and Song Ke was relieved.
Ye Jianyi's qinggong was superb, and he quickly left everyone behind. Even Chu Zhi struggled to follow, but it also proved that the distance between him and Yin Cang was getting closer and closer.
When he heard footsteps galloping from behind, Yin Cang felt bad. Looking back, Ye Jianyi's figure was no more than three meters away.
His face suddenly turned pale, he held the jug of wine tightly in his arms, gritted his teeth, and suddenly turned around and ran towards the dense forest on one side.
Going straight ahead will reach the gate of the city that never sleeps. If you turn your head and run into the dense forest that has not yet been built, it is very likely that you will hit the city wall. He is determined to try to climb out of the wall.
But after seeing his figure disappear into the dense forest, Ye Jianyi didn't panic at all, instead calmly stopped the speed, waiting for the group of people chasing behind him.
Song Ke ran here panting, and was surprised to see him so leisurely, "Brother Ye, just run away if you don't chase anyone!"
Ye Jianyi only looked around at the tense expressions of the crowd, and said calmly, "I can't escape."
"In this city that never sleeps, there is nowhere to escape, but he took the initiative to sneak into the forest, which hastened his death."
Chu Zhi also put his hands behind his head quite leisurely, and laughed happily: "This is called a self-inflicted Internet cafe, everyone, thank you for your help! If you are interested in the fate of that person, just follow behind us to find out. , don’t run around.”
Everyone was quite puzzled, and wanted to continue asking, but they heard Ye Jianyi say: "Walk around, and you will die."
So everyone didn't dare to say more.
They followed Ye Jianyi and Chu Zhi carefully, almost walking in their footprints, and no one dared to move.
After walking for a while, I finally saw the figure of Yin Cang in front of me.
However, at this time, Yin Cang's condition was very bad, and he was stepping on a radiant circular formation. The circular formation seemed to have a strong adhesive force to firmly nail his footsteps, making it impossible for him to walk out of it.
The thick vines hanging from the tree at the same time wrapped around his arms and chest like flexible snakes, binding them tightly.
And two meters in front of him is the towering city wall of the city that never sleeps. I don't know when the crossbow was erected on the city wall, and it didn't need anyone to drive it, so it took the initiative to aim at Yin Cang's body.
Then a whoosh sound of breaking through the air rang in everyone's ears.
Yin Cang let out a terrified scream.
The sound was so penetrating that the timid people flinched subconsciously. They thought that Yin Cang had been shot through the heart long ago, but when they opened their eyes, they saw Yin Cang kneeling on the ground. The rest of the body was intact except for the shoulder. The position was directly shot through a big hole, the body of the arrow sank into the flesh and blood, and a pool of scarlet blood spilled out.
This seemed to be more tormenting than death, everyone's brows twitched, and some couldn't bear to look directly: "Is this... a trap?"
It turns out that there are such traps around the city that never sleeps, first immobilizing people, and then piercing the heart with an arrow!
If you don't know, it's almost a one-shot!So scary!
Looking at this scene, the person who still had some bad water in his mind was suddenly too scared to speak, thankful that he was not impulsive.
Ye Jianyi stood coldly on the spot, trying to draw out the sword at his waist: "If you dare to commit crimes in the city that never sleeps, there is only one end."
As soon as he put his hand on his waist, there were fewer people around him. Everyone showed panic and stepped back a few meters before they could barely stop. Everyone knew that Ye Jianyi's sword was very fast, and they didn't want to be caught. He accidentally injured.
But Ye Jianyi's sword didn't turn on after all, because Chu Zhi was already squatting beside Yin Cang, and said with a smile: "Ah, the wine is all spilled."
That's right, the wine jug was naturally shattered to the ground as the vines entangled its hands and feet.
This scene made the rest of the people very distressed, and they stared at Yin Cang angrily. This good wine was wasted like this, what a waste of money!hateful!It's really hateful!
Chu Zhi rested his chin and said in thought: "Killing him like this is too cheap for him, and he has to pay for it."
Hearing this, Ye Jianyi felt thoughtful, and actually let go of his murderous intent, and said coldly to Yin Cang: "This arrow is your own bad fruit, hand over 3000 taels of silver."
Yin Cang looked at him in fear, but shook his head palely: "I... have no money."
If he had money, he wouldn't be able to steal other people's wine.
Chu Zhi had expected it a long time ago, suppressing Ye Jianyi's murderous aura, and said with a smile: "In this case, I will give you seven days to raise money, but if you can't pay the money after a week, then I can't hold back The person next to me."
Ye Jianyi glanced at him, then leaned over and narrowed his eyes at Yin Cang: "I will look for you in seven days. If you don't pay the money, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
No one dared to doubt the weight of this sentence. This is not just a threat, but a sincere thought!
Ye Jianyi can even find the wanted criminals on the reward list, even if Yin Cang is good at running away, he will never escape Ye Jianyi's palm!
Yin Cang's face was pale, his body trembled slightly, but he could only grit his teeth and nod his head.
Just when he thought it was over, Chu Zhi suddenly put the vines on his body again, and tied him tightly:
"Capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes are inevitable. If you dare to do evil in the city that never sleeps, you will get the corresponding retribution. Hang you in front of the city gate until dawn, and let all the guests take you as a warning. Don't have any greed, and you will be repaid. sins."
Talking about the cruelest punishment with the most relaxed words, Yin Cang couldn't beg for mercy at all, so Chu Zhi carried him up to the city wall, and personally hung him headfirst at the gate of Nightless City.
In the eyes of everyone, Yin Cang was gagged, his limbs were bound, and he was tied upside down like a sack, which could be regarded as a lifetime of humiliation.
If he had the courage to commit suicide in grief and indignation, everyone would praise him as a good man, but for this thief who stole in front of them and wasted a pot of good wine, everyone really disdainful, looked at Yin Cang coldly, and shouted for Chu Applause.
Only Yuan Buqun, who lost his wine, wailed loudly: "My wine, my 3000 taels, it's gone!!"
No one wanted to pay attention to this self-inflicted person, but Chu Zhi laughed and patted Yuan Buqun on the shoulder, "It's a small matter, the wine is indeed gone today, but next time you come to the city that never sleeps, I can give it to you again." You have a pot of daughter red."
"Really?!" Yuan Buqun's eyes lit up.
"It's hard to chase after a gentleman's words." Chu Zhi patted his chest and assured him, "That is, the next time the guests don't show off their wealth, be careful when you leave the city that never sleeps to ask for beatings."
Sensing the unkind eyes of the people around him, Yuan Buqun flinched and nodded in embarrassment.
"Thank you for your generous help!" Chu Zhi immediately bowed to everyone, "Everyone here, I, Chu Zhi, will give you a cup of tea, and you can come with me when the auction is over!"
Everyone was really in a good mood when they heard the words, that is tea that can enhance internal strength, 100 taels of silver, this amount is as big as a gift, really worthy of being a great hero Chu.
Hastily replied: "Thank you, Great Xia Chu!"
In an instant, the scene was full of joy and the problem was solved perfectly.
After bidding farewell to Ye Jianyi and Chu Zhi, everyone continued to return to the auction venue.
For some reason, Song Ke was in a good mood, smiling all the way, Pang Tianzong jokingly asked: "Brother Song got some good chance, could it be that he met the legendary number one beauty Xinxin?" Miss Er, there is still a smile on this face."
The rest of the people also looked over with a smile.
"That's not the case." Song Ke quickly explained, "I'm just lamenting the fellowship between Brother Ye and Hero Chu. If there is anyone in this world who can stop Brother Ye from unleashing his sword, it must be Hero Chu." Alright."
Thinking of the tacit understanding between the two when they interacted, Pang Tianzong also felt deeply: "Yes, these two people are very complementary. When Ye Jianshen drew his sword just now, the Great Xia Chu naturally pressed the button. Holding his hand, my heart is almost lifted."
"You also feel this way? I was afraid that Hero Chu would anger Ye Jianshen, so I panicked at that moment, but no one thought that Ye Jianshen actually listened to the persuasion."
Speaking of this, someone picked up the conversation and told about the journey in his heart just now. It was very interesting. Everyone listened with laughter and echoed a few words from time to time.
Soon, they came to the shopping area on both sides of the main street, and a group of people almost swarmed towards the place where the elixir was sold, and the entire store was tightly blocked.
Although Song Ke also wanted to buy some elixir, he couldn't stand the other people being too crazy. He shook his head helplessly, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the unattended shop behind him, and walked in curiously.
As soon as he entered the door, Song Ke discovered that there were some popular accessories for sale here, mixed with men and women, such as jade pendants, bracelets, earrings, head ornaments, finger ring pendants, everything that one expects to find.
But because there are fewer female customers and the price is not cheap, no one is willing to step into the store.
Song Ke walked around twice and was not very interested. He wanted to leave, but found that there was still a second floor in the shop, so he asked subconsciously, "What do you sell on the second floor?"
The waiter said respectfully, "We sell weapons on the second floor."
"Weapons?!" Song Ke was stunned for a moment, and a glint of joy flashed in his eyes.
I didn't expect that there would be such a big surprise in this store, no one has noticed it yet!
Thinking about it, City Lord Jiang is auctioning a weapon, so there must be other weapons for sale in the city that never sleeps, it's just that everyone's eyes are messed up and they didn't think of it for the time being.
He immediately walked to the second floor curiously. As soon as he entered the inner hall, he could see rows of weapons sitting on the wall, each with a beautiful halo. Song Ke focused his eyes on the sword, I saw that the sword body was bright and sharp, and it was light and tough in the hand. It really was a fine product.
However, there was a trace of regret in Song Ke's eyes. These swords were mass-produced, and they were only suitable for beginners or those who did not pursue top-notch swords. They were useless to him.
But when he thought that Ye Jianyi could cut his throat as quickly as possible even with the most ordinary sword, he was not so disappointed. After all, although a sword is a good sword, what good is it if the person who can use it is not good enough? Woolen cloth?
Seeing him silently putting down the exquisite sword, the waiter glanced at it discerningly, and suddenly suggested: "If it doesn't meet the customer's wishes, there is a better sword on the third floor, but the price is more expensive, what do you think?"
Now that everyone is here, Song Ke plans to go up and have a look.
It doesn't matter at this sight, Song Ke's eyes are rounded in shock, and he hasn't been able to react for a long time.
I saw that the decoration on the third floor is even more luxurious than that on the second floor, and there are separate compartments for each type of weapon. The wall facing Song Ke is full of swords, but each one has a different shape, or color or color. Whether the weight or material or the engraved patterns on the hilt are completely different...
The sword lay there quietly, the moonlight shining down on the sword body was as clear as water, and there was an invisible coldness.
Song Ke was so excited that his eyes were dazzled.
You must know that in Jianghu, finding such a treasured sword is simply good luck that is hard to find in a hundred years. People in Jianghu are proud of obtaining these famous swords and show off to each other, but the city that never sleeps puts so many famous swords on the ground one by one. In front of him, this is too extravagant!
The waiter introduced Song Ke: "Every weapon here has its own name, which can be said to be unique. It is similar to this Qiushui. The light body of the sword is made of cold and mysterious iron, which is suitable for you. The one who wields the sharp sword."
Song Ke was moved by his words, his eyes fell on the autumn water, his eyes filled with longing, but soon the waiter introduced other famous swords, and once again occupied all his thoughts.
When the waiter introduced more and more, he became more and more entangled. He only thought that all these swords were very good, and he wanted them all.
But his money does not allow him to be presumptuous, he can only touch this, admire that, and love it.
"Guest." Seeing that he was taking too long, the waiter couldn't help suggesting, "Since you can't choose the sword, let the sword choose you."
Song Ke was at a loss: "The sword is a dead thing, can it still choose people?"
The waiter proudly said: "Of course, the swords in the city that never sleeps have spirituality."
Song Ke was even more puzzled, and the waiter put him in a position and asked him to close his eyes and feel the sword intent around him: "The guest has eaten the food from the city that never sleeps just now, and there is a high probability that he can succeed, although there is a city lord here It will be more foolproof, but you have to try everything."
Song Ke obediently closed his eyes, freeing his mind just to feel the sword intent in front of him.
He thought this was a very absurd move, but just after meditating for a while, he suddenly heard the humming of swords, it seemed that hundreds of swords vibrated in unison, an indescribable Qi rushed towards him.
Song Ke had never felt such an airway before, and subconsciously yearned to back away, but the reminder from the waiter next to his ear made him grit his teeth and endure it hard. The invisible heavy pressure seemed to suddenly fall on his shoulders, causing his body to sway, as if Is to kneel on the ground.
But fortunately, this situation didn't last long. Two different buzzing sounds came from next to his ears and filled his head. After a while, the pressure on Song Ke disappeared without a trace.
But when he opened his eyes and looked up, he was surprised to find that there were two swords stuck straight into the ground at some point, as if they were waiting for his choice.
Song Ke was dumbfounded.
Did Jian really choose him on his own initiative? !
How spiritual is this sword? !
Song Keben thought that after tasting the food in the city that never sleeps, there is nothing in the world that can surprise him, but now, looking at the two swords waiting for him, his heart beat faster and he swallowed.
"Congratulations, you are actually chosen by two swords." The shop clerk smiled openly, "This is rare, so please draw them out. Come out and have a try, and see which one is more suitable for you."
Song Ke also felt very excited when he said this.
It was incredible to be chosen by the sword, and he was chosen by two swords at the same time. Doesn't this mean that he is the genius of swordsmanship?
Song Ke resisted his excitement and went to the two swords to try to pull them out, but one of the swords was as heavy as a thousand catties, and he couldn't pull it out even with his strength, while the other Qiushui was so light that he could hardly pull it out. He needed his strength, and Qiu Shui was quietly lifted into the air by him.
This incident was simply miraculous, because when Song Ke calmed down and tried to pull out another sword, the sword that was originally as heavy as Mount Tai was pulled out by him easily, as if it was an illusion just now.
In a trance, Song Ke held Qiushui in his arms like a baby, and handed over more than 20 taels of silver.
When I stood on the main street of the city that never sleeps again, I recalled everything, and still faintly felt that I was dreaming.
"Brother Song, it's almost time." Pang Tianzong finally found him in the crowd, and hurriedly dragged him towards the opposite shop, "The auction is about to start, where are you going!"
Before Song Ke came back to his senses, Pang Tianzong had already caught a glimpse of Qiushui who was protecting him like a baby, and his face was startled: "Brother Song, when did you get this sword?"
Everyone looked into his arms subconsciously, and they all saw the beautiful Qiushui. Even in the night, the cold light of the Qiushui sword already gave off a faint halo. sword!
But the important thing is that Song Ke's original sword was not this one, so the origin of this sword... can only come from the city that never sleeps!
Tao Wenmao immediately exclaimed: "Is there any other place that sells swords in the city that never sleeps?!"
"It's not just swords." Song Ke finally adjusted his mood, and said in a deep voice, "Any high-quality weapons can also be bought there!"
"And..." Song Ke looked around at the crowd who suddenly showed joy, and asked, "Have you ever heard that you can choose the master's weapon?"
Everyone: "... what?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, their faces were very strange, and they didn't understand what he meant.
"Brother Song, weapons are all dead objects, how do you choose the master!"
"That's it!"
No one supports this theory, and just now Song Ke was one of these people.
But now, he was able to stand uprightly, and corrected loudly: "It's wrong! It's all wrong!"
Holding the autumn water in his hand, with a bright light in his eyes, he said firmly: "How can the weapons of this city that never sleeps be compared with the outside world? For example, the autumn water in my hand has magical spirituality. I saw it with my own eyes. Choose me and make my weapon!"
"……what???"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and they couldn't recover for a long time!
At the same time, a thought popped up in my mind, is Brother Song... out of his mind?
"Brother Song, what does this mean!"
"Can the sword choose its master? Could it be that it can speak??"
"Brother Song, are you... all right?"
Everyone was confused and thought that Song Ke was talking nonsense, but Song Ke was not annoyed, after all, he was as ignorant as this group of people before.
He explained in detail what happened to him in the Weapons Pavilion, and the entire group was dumbfounded. They couldn't figure out how the sword contained spirituality.
"...Is it true that the waiter in the shop is not cheating?"
Someone suddenly murmured in doubt, but this sentence suddenly changed the expressions of the others, and they stopped quickly: "Speak carefully! This is a city that never sleeps. Do you want to say that the city master Jiang is lying, Ye Jianshen's swordsmanship is lying, Chu Is the hero's miraculous dish a fake! It's impossible!
Shao Kang looked at the back of the gracefully leaving with a wry smile, feeling helpless in his heart.
It really surprised him that Miss Xin'er still had such a willful and unrestrained side.
The maidservants on both sides had already respectfully bowed and asked him to leave. Shao Kang knew that he would never see Miss Xin'er again, so he could only go downstairs with the wooden box in his arms.
"Master Shao." The servant girl suddenly reminded, "Miss Xin'er asked the servant girl to remind you that this wooden box contains great secrets of life and death, and must not be shown to others lightly. Please check carefully after you go back."
"Confidential?" Shao Kang was startled, the black box in his hand, which he didn't care much about, suddenly weighed a thousand catties.
He hugged it tightly, his face was a little uneasy, thinking of what Miss Xin'er said, there is a high probability that this wooden box is not for him, but for the prince.
Could it be that Evernight City investigated the secret information about the prince, because the prince was not here and handed it over to him?
Thinking of all the confidential information that Miss Xin'er had told him, it was impossible for Shao Kang to just take it as a joke, and his expression immediately became serious.
On the way out of Qingfeng Pavilion, he met countless people who were curious about why he went upstairs, but he politely refused and quickly went back to the inn to close the door carefully, and then he suppressed his nervousness and gently opened the wooden box.
There is only a piece of scented paper in the wooden box, but there are many words.
Shao Kang also took the time to appreciate the elegant small script on the hairpin flower, and read it carefully, only to see that it reads:
[Tomorrow, there will be thieves who will attack the Holy One.The left minister happened to capture the assassin nearby and put him in Dali Temple for interrogation.In a few days, it will be announced to the world that this thief is a person sent by Prince Zhao. 】
"!!!"
This is……? !
A preview of what's to come? ?
Shao Kang's heart tightened suddenly, and he forgot to breathe for a while.
It took him a long time to gasp for air, his eyes fixed on the paper, and he almost crumpled the paper because of too much force.
Miss Xin'er still has the ability to predict the future?
……Do not.
wrong.
Shao Kang quickly realized that this should not be groundless, but that Miss Xin'er had the exact information!
Leaving aside the authenticity of the information on the paper, just looking at the fact that the thief dared to assassinate the Holy Majesty and happened to be caught by the Prime Minister of the Left to slander the Prince, one knew that this must be a plot by the Prime Minister of the Left, and if it really happened, the consequences would be very serious!
This is very much like what the Left Prime Minister would do!
Believe it or not, you must be careful tomorrow night!
After secretly making up his mind to calm down, Shao Kang complicatedly kept the note close to him.
If this is true, it will completely prove that the city that never sleeps really controls the movements of the entire capital.
Just how huge this force is, they can only quietly know about the conspiracy of the left prime minister!It's really shocking!
The only thing to be thankful for is that this unknown and mysterious force is willing to support Prince Zhao. As Prince Zhao's staff, this is a great thing.
You must pass the information to the prince as soon as possible!
While Shao Kang was pondering here, Ji Wuxin from Qingfeng Pavilion had completed the task and was lazily leaning on the couch and eating fruit.
At this time, he had completely removed his make-up, and three thousand black hairs hung down his head, revealing his delicate face, but his peach blossom eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, had not changed at all, occasionally reflected in the hazy and soft candlelight, and could not be recognized. his real sex.
It's just that after taking off the famous actor's coat, his expression became more and more indifferent, and his demeanor was extremely casual, with a kind of casual and chic beauty.
"I'm so tired." He lazily uttered these words, propped his head on one hand, looked up at the brightly lit beautiful scenery outside the window, and stretched his waist, "But I earned more than 20 taels of silver in one night, isn't it okay?" .”
At this time, strike while the iron is hot and become Xiner, go downstairs and earn some money is the best policy, but Ji Wuxin blinked and decided to start messing around.
He clapped his hands, and suddenly a group of npc dancers filed in, walked forward and danced gracefully.
As soon as he waved, two npcs took the initiative to walk behind him and squeezed his waist and beat his back.
Turned on the system, bought a plate of melon seeds, and with a thought, Chu Zhi, who was still in the system hang-up, got an order to make some side dishes and wine and bring them to Qingfeng Pavilion.
After a while, Ji Wuxin was eating food, drinking wine and listening to ditties, not to mention how comfortable she was.
This is life.
Cool!
In front of people is a famous actor who disturbs the situation, and in the back is a chic and easy-going young man. This is the free life in Ji Wuxin's heart.
Work when it's time to work, and relax when it's time to relax. It's perfect.
After chatting with Prince Zhao's subordinates, Ji Wuxin lay down completely.
In fact, when he made his debut, he originally wanted to play the leading role of a well-loved actress, but when he saw that it was Prince Zhao's subordinates who helped him get ahead, his mind suddenly became active.
Although the current city that never sleeps is gradually on the right track, when will it be possible to reach the amount he wants by simply accumulating customers and selling goods?
Without money, he has no way to continue infrastructure construction, and if he has no way to continue infrastructure construction, he cannot obtain high achievement points.
The medicine to improve physical strength tempted him all the time, but he couldn't buy it, and his heart ached!
Therefore, Jiang Feng felt that he should open up more businesses, such as doing business with the most powerful people in the outside world!
But he doesn't know many outsiders who meet this point, the only ones he can think of are the nobles in the palace.The Left Prime Minister's party was a good choice, but it's a pity that they committed suicide. Jiang Feng has eliminated any possibility of any connection with them, so the only ones who can choose are the Right Prime Minister and his followers.
So Prince Zhao Qi Huan lit up in his vision.
Prince Zhao, Jiang Feng met several times with Chu Zhi's vest, and thought he was a smart man and had a high opinion of the city that never sleeps.
But that's not why Jiang Feng chose him.
The most important thing is Prince Zhao's royal status!
This means that he can inherit the throne, he... can ascend to that position!
That's right, what Jiang Feng thought of was what the world saw as treasonous and immoral. He wanted to single-handedly create a new emperor!
Today's emperor is weak and has no independent opinions. When he grows up, he is addicted to women and is a proper fool. After stepping down, he will have the most relaxed and comfortable life; As for Zhang Ling, not only is he still young, but he himself has no interest in the throne.
In the final plot, he will take the initiative to talk to the protagonist and tell his troubles about that position.If the protagonist persuades him that he should serve the people wholeheartedly as an emperor, he will compromise and ascend to the throne. If the protagonist thinks that he should follow his heart and roam freely, he will resign from the throne and hide his name.
Now Zhang Ling is just a little radish, and he only wants revenge. Naturally, Jiang Feng would not entrust such an important matter to him.
So if there is anyone who can replace the emperor to take that position, now there is only Prince Zhao.
Well, there is really no other choice.
However, Jiang Feng didn't just decide to choose him so easily. He was still testing whether Qi Huan had such qualifications. First of all, it depends on Qi Huan's attitude towards him, and secondly...
In Jiang Feng's memory, Qi Huan was just a supporting role in the game "Dream Back to Ancient Times". At the beginning, he helped the right minister to fight against the left minister, but was soon severely suppressed by the left minister, and finally ended up in a disastrous defeat in Lijing , and the incident mentioned in the note that Ji Wuxin handed to Shao Kang was the time he remembered the first time Qi Huan was criticized by the world and suppressed by the left.
So whether Qi Huan can escape this catastrophe is also what Jiang Feng wants to consider.
If the other party really has amazing advantages, he will use knowledge and intelligence to give Qi Huan great benefits, while conducting business with him, while suppressing Zuo Xiang to help him get into that position.
Everything depends on tomorrow night.
There was a soft knock on the door, and Ji Wuxin slowly opened her eyes. Her natural slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked out the door coldly: "What's the matter?"
The maid stood there respectfully, saluted and said: "Young master, the guests have almost left."
"So soon?" Ji Wuxin's face was a little strange, and she glanced at Shi Chen and found that it had been a quarter, and then suddenly realized, "They are going to the auction."
"Nothing." He ordered, "The guests will come back in a while, I'll take a nap first, don't let anyone disturb me."
Maid: "Yes."
Ji Wuxin lay on the couch and closed her eyes, her consciousness had already returned to Jiang Feng's body.
Before he could open his mouth to call someone, he felt something strange coming from his throat, and couldn't help coughing again.
He frowned, feeling the weakness of his body, and a disgusted coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Master."
When Zhang Ling walked in worriedly, Jiang Feng's face quickly returned to calm, and he gently picked up the folding fan and smiled, "It's time, let's go."
Zhang Ling observed his face carefully and found that his face was not that pale, so he felt relieved. He walked skillfully behind the wheelchair Jiang Feng was sitting on, and pushed the wheelchair forward.
Thanks to his presence, Ye Jianyi didn't need to appear on the stage. For a while, all three vests fell into a state of hanging up, and Jiang Feng felt much more relaxed.
When they were heading towards the shopping malls, a group of people talking and laughing also rushed to the shopping malls from various places.
They may not be interested in that legendary weapon, but it is said that being able to see the mysterious City Lord Jiang is enough to make them excited.
Familiar people gathered together in twos and threes, walked forward casually, and said in their mouths: "You have gone to see those shops, there are many good things!"
Song Kegang came out of the restaurant full of wine and food, and he couldn't help asking curiously: "What's there?"
"There are pills that temporarily restore qi and blood, pills that temporarily restore internal strength, pills that can temporarily calm the mind, pills that increase speed, etc., as long as you can think of fetishes, he sells them there. The price is very good, the most expensive bottle is only 400 taels of silver, usually only 100 taels."
"That's really cheap!" Song Ke's eyes were full of surprise. Compared with those ten thousand taels of dishes, it's not cheaper at 01:30.
But the other party sighed: "It's a pity that it's all temporary, and it's still incomparable with permanent promotion."
Song Ke nodded in agreement. Although this meal cost tens of thousands of taels, it increased his physical fitness in all aspects. I am afraid that the person who was able to draw with him before is no longer his opponent at all. Really worth it!
But the existence of these pills is still very necessary: "This statement is wrong. If you are in a crisis and unable to perform martial arts due to physical exhaustion, these pills are life-saving things, and you must not underestimate them!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after careful consideration, they found that what he said was indeed very reasonable, and immediately became excited: "Okay, I'll go buy some equipment when it arrives later. Buy two of each to try!"
"There are only two, I have already ordered five bottles of each, you are too few!"
"Well... when did you become so rich??"
"Ham, I have no money, but I can sell the house. In my heart, the house has been mortgaged and I can spend it freely."
"...Good guy, I'm direct good guy, you awesome!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing, walking three minutes faster, wanting to go to the store to buy their favorite things as soon as possible.
However, at this time, a figure wandered out from the restaurant, holding a jug of wine in his hand, and poured a sip into his mouth if he had nothing to do.
Pang Tianzong recognized who this person was, and frowned slightly: "He actually brought out the wine!"
There are so many people going to the restaurant, and I haven't seen anyone who would take out the wine. One is that the amount of wine in the city that never sleeps is limited, and most of them can't get it. The other is that those who get such precious wine can't wait to drink it all in one gulp. , Never reveal it, I didn't expect there to be fools deliberately showing off to others!
Song Ke also saw it: "This is Yuan Buqun. He is average in martial arts but unstoppable. He is the son of a wealthy merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. He spent money here in order to find some opportunities. Doesn't he know that his wealth should not be exposed?"
If you walk out carelessly like this, aren't you afraid that some people will be jealous?
In fact, because he was too eye-catching, many people secretly poked their eyes on him, especially staring at the jug of mellow wine with greed in their eyes.
However, Yuan Buqun didn't care about it at all, and he held up the jug as if showing off and said loudly: "This cup is the legendary daughter's red, 3000 taels of silver... But it's a trivial matter for me, it is indeed a limited edition fine wine, It’s indeed much better than the ones sold outside, but it’s a pity you can’t taste it…”
This sentence stirred up a thousand waves, everyone's face was livid, they looked at him proudly coldly, and were very unhappy in their hearts, some even sneered, remembering his appearance.
Yuan Buqun liked this kind of envious and jealous eyes, and his complacency became even more unbearable. Just when everyone couldn't bear to reprimand him, Yuan Buqun's exclamation suddenly sounded in his ears: "Oh!"
Everyone turned their heads to look at the same time, only to see a figure from behind snatch Yuan Buqun's wine, turned around and ran towards the gate of Nightless City, without any hesitation in his movements.
And Yuan Buqun fell to the ground in a daze, looking at his empty right hand, as if he hadn't recovered from the accident yet.
When the man ran a few meters away, the dumbfounded crowd and Yuan Buqun suddenly woke up and were shocked!
This is...someone robbed in public in the city that never sleeps? ?
Good guy, all heroes are here, this man dares to be so bold, he doesn't even need a mask!This is not even a face, just for a pot of wine? !
As for it!
... Well... if it's the wine from the city that never sleeps, it's fine.
It's just that he dared to snatch wine in the place where the sword god is, this man is really brave!
After looking at each other for a few breaths, Yuan Buqun cried out suddenly: "My wine, ouch! Return my wine!!"
Although everyone didn't like his ostentatious face, they couldn't just watch someone robbing in the city that never sleeps. Song Ke immediately shouted: "I'll go after him first, you crush the token and notify the city lord!"
Yuan Buqun was startled, and immediately smashed the token in a hurry.
At this moment, Jiang Feng, who was still on his way, obviously felt something. With a thought, two figures suddenly appeared around the token, and after a glance at each other, Qiqi used lightness kung fu to catch up with the fleeing man without saying a word. .
"What?!" Song Ke and the others were about to get up and chase after them, when they saw two shadows passing by their sides quickly, and they were shocked.
After careful identification, it turned out to be the backs of Sword God Ye Jianyi and Chu Zhixia.
When exactly did they come?Why did it appear at the moment the token was crushed?These questions were unknown to everyone, and they were quite at a loss, but they all subconsciously used lightness kung fu to follow their backs and fly away.
Song Ke tried to shout from behind: "Brother Ye, it was Yin Cang from the Tibetan Sword Sect who robbed Daughter Hong. The Tibetan Sword Sect has a bad reputation and loves sneak attacks in battle. Brother Ye, be careful!"
Ye Jianyi didn't turn his head back, but nodded to express his understanding, and Song Ke was relieved.
Ye Jianyi's qinggong was superb, and he quickly left everyone behind. Even Chu Zhi struggled to follow, but it also proved that the distance between him and Yin Cang was getting closer and closer.
When he heard footsteps galloping from behind, Yin Cang felt bad. Looking back, Ye Jianyi's figure was no more than three meters away.
His face suddenly turned pale, he held the jug of wine tightly in his arms, gritted his teeth, and suddenly turned around and ran towards the dense forest on one side.
Going straight ahead will reach the gate of the city that never sleeps. If you turn your head and run into the dense forest that has not yet been built, it is very likely that you will hit the city wall. He is determined to try to climb out of the wall.
But after seeing his figure disappear into the dense forest, Ye Jianyi didn't panic at all, instead calmly stopped the speed, waiting for the group of people chasing behind him.
Song Ke ran here panting, and was surprised to see him so leisurely, "Brother Ye, just run away if you don't chase anyone!"
Ye Jianyi only looked around at the tense expressions of the crowd, and said calmly, "I can't escape."
"In this city that never sleeps, there is nowhere to escape, but he took the initiative to sneak into the forest, which hastened his death."
Chu Zhi also put his hands behind his head quite leisurely, and laughed happily: "This is called a self-inflicted Internet cafe, everyone, thank you for your help! If you are interested in the fate of that person, just follow behind us to find out. , don’t run around.”
Everyone was quite puzzled, and wanted to continue asking, but they heard Ye Jianyi say: "Walk around, and you will die."
So everyone didn't dare to say more.
They followed Ye Jianyi and Chu Zhi carefully, almost walking in their footprints, and no one dared to move.
After walking for a while, I finally saw the figure of Yin Cang in front of me.
However, at this time, Yin Cang's condition was very bad, and he was stepping on a radiant circular formation. The circular formation seemed to have a strong adhesive force to firmly nail his footsteps, making it impossible for him to walk out of it.
The thick vines hanging from the tree at the same time wrapped around his arms and chest like flexible snakes, binding them tightly.
And two meters in front of him is the towering city wall of the city that never sleeps. I don't know when the crossbow was erected on the city wall, and it didn't need anyone to drive it, so it took the initiative to aim at Yin Cang's body.
Then a whoosh sound of breaking through the air rang in everyone's ears.
Yin Cang let out a terrified scream.
The sound was so penetrating that the timid people flinched subconsciously. They thought that Yin Cang had been shot through the heart long ago, but when they opened their eyes, they saw Yin Cang kneeling on the ground. The rest of the body was intact except for the shoulder. The position was directly shot through a big hole, the body of the arrow sank into the flesh and blood, and a pool of scarlet blood spilled out.
This seemed to be more tormenting than death, everyone's brows twitched, and some couldn't bear to look directly: "Is this... a trap?"
It turns out that there are such traps around the city that never sleeps, first immobilizing people, and then piercing the heart with an arrow!
If you don't know, it's almost a one-shot!So scary!
Looking at this scene, the person who still had some bad water in his mind was suddenly too scared to speak, thankful that he was not impulsive.
Ye Jianyi stood coldly on the spot, trying to draw out the sword at his waist: "If you dare to commit crimes in the city that never sleeps, there is only one end."
As soon as he put his hand on his waist, there were fewer people around him. Everyone showed panic and stepped back a few meters before they could barely stop. Everyone knew that Ye Jianyi's sword was very fast, and they didn't want to be caught. He accidentally injured.
But Ye Jianyi's sword didn't turn on after all, because Chu Zhi was already squatting beside Yin Cang, and said with a smile: "Ah, the wine is all spilled."
That's right, the wine jug was naturally shattered to the ground as the vines entangled its hands and feet.
This scene made the rest of the people very distressed, and they stared at Yin Cang angrily. This good wine was wasted like this, what a waste of money!hateful!It's really hateful!
Chu Zhi rested his chin and said in thought: "Killing him like this is too cheap for him, and he has to pay for it."
Hearing this, Ye Jianyi felt thoughtful, and actually let go of his murderous intent, and said coldly to Yin Cang: "This arrow is your own bad fruit, hand over 3000 taels of silver."
Yin Cang looked at him in fear, but shook his head palely: "I... have no money."
If he had money, he wouldn't be able to steal other people's wine.
Chu Zhi had expected it a long time ago, suppressing Ye Jianyi's murderous aura, and said with a smile: "In this case, I will give you seven days to raise money, but if you can't pay the money after a week, then I can't hold back The person next to me."
Ye Jianyi glanced at him, then leaned over and narrowed his eyes at Yin Cang: "I will look for you in seven days. If you don't pay the money, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
No one dared to doubt the weight of this sentence. This is not just a threat, but a sincere thought!
Ye Jianyi can even find the wanted criminals on the reward list, even if Yin Cang is good at running away, he will never escape Ye Jianyi's palm!
Yin Cang's face was pale, his body trembled slightly, but he could only grit his teeth and nod his head.
Just when he thought it was over, Chu Zhi suddenly put the vines on his body again, and tied him tightly:
"Capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes are inevitable. If you dare to do evil in the city that never sleeps, you will get the corresponding retribution. Hang you in front of the city gate until dawn, and let all the guests take you as a warning. Don't have any greed, and you will be repaid. sins."
Talking about the cruelest punishment with the most relaxed words, Yin Cang couldn't beg for mercy at all, so Chu Zhi carried him up to the city wall, and personally hung him headfirst at the gate of Nightless City.
In the eyes of everyone, Yin Cang was gagged, his limbs were bound, and he was tied upside down like a sack, which could be regarded as a lifetime of humiliation.
If he had the courage to commit suicide in grief and indignation, everyone would praise him as a good man, but for this thief who stole in front of them and wasted a pot of good wine, everyone really disdainful, looked at Yin Cang coldly, and shouted for Chu Applause.
Only Yuan Buqun, who lost his wine, wailed loudly: "My wine, my 3000 taels, it's gone!!"
No one wanted to pay attention to this self-inflicted person, but Chu Zhi laughed and patted Yuan Buqun on the shoulder, "It's a small matter, the wine is indeed gone today, but next time you come to the city that never sleeps, I can give it to you again." You have a pot of daughter red."
"Really?!" Yuan Buqun's eyes lit up.
"It's hard to chase after a gentleman's words." Chu Zhi patted his chest and assured him, "That is, the next time the guests don't show off their wealth, be careful when you leave the city that never sleeps to ask for beatings."
Sensing the unkind eyes of the people around him, Yuan Buqun flinched and nodded in embarrassment.
"Thank you for your generous help!" Chu Zhi immediately bowed to everyone, "Everyone here, I, Chu Zhi, will give you a cup of tea, and you can come with me when the auction is over!"
Everyone was really in a good mood when they heard the words, that is tea that can enhance internal strength, 100 taels of silver, this amount is as big as a gift, really worthy of being a great hero Chu.
Hastily replied: "Thank you, Great Xia Chu!"
In an instant, the scene was full of joy and the problem was solved perfectly.
After bidding farewell to Ye Jianyi and Chu Zhi, everyone continued to return to the auction venue.
For some reason, Song Ke was in a good mood, smiling all the way, Pang Tianzong jokingly asked: "Brother Song got some good chance, could it be that he met the legendary number one beauty Xinxin?" Miss Er, there is still a smile on this face."
The rest of the people also looked over with a smile.
"That's not the case." Song Ke quickly explained, "I'm just lamenting the fellowship between Brother Ye and Hero Chu. If there is anyone in this world who can stop Brother Ye from unleashing his sword, it must be Hero Chu." Alright."
Thinking of the tacit understanding between the two when they interacted, Pang Tianzong also felt deeply: "Yes, these two people are very complementary. When Ye Jianshen drew his sword just now, the Great Xia Chu naturally pressed the button. Holding his hand, my heart is almost lifted."
"You also feel this way? I was afraid that Hero Chu would anger Ye Jianshen, so I panicked at that moment, but no one thought that Ye Jianshen actually listened to the persuasion."
Speaking of this, someone picked up the conversation and told about the journey in his heart just now. It was very interesting. Everyone listened with laughter and echoed a few words from time to time.
Soon, they came to the shopping area on both sides of the main street, and a group of people almost swarmed towards the place where the elixir was sold, and the entire store was tightly blocked.
Although Song Ke also wanted to buy some elixir, he couldn't stand the other people being too crazy. He shook his head helplessly, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the unattended shop behind him, and walked in curiously.
As soon as he entered the door, Song Ke discovered that there were some popular accessories for sale here, mixed with men and women, such as jade pendants, bracelets, earrings, head ornaments, finger ring pendants, everything that one expects to find.
But because there are fewer female customers and the price is not cheap, no one is willing to step into the store.
Song Ke walked around twice and was not very interested. He wanted to leave, but found that there was still a second floor in the shop, so he asked subconsciously, "What do you sell on the second floor?"
The waiter said respectfully, "We sell weapons on the second floor."
"Weapons?!" Song Ke was stunned for a moment, and a glint of joy flashed in his eyes.
I didn't expect that there would be such a big surprise in this store, no one has noticed it yet!
Thinking about it, City Lord Jiang is auctioning a weapon, so there must be other weapons for sale in the city that never sleeps, it's just that everyone's eyes are messed up and they didn't think of it for the time being.
He immediately walked to the second floor curiously. As soon as he entered the inner hall, he could see rows of weapons sitting on the wall, each with a beautiful halo. Song Ke focused his eyes on the sword, I saw that the sword body was bright and sharp, and it was light and tough in the hand. It really was a fine product.
However, there was a trace of regret in Song Ke's eyes. These swords were mass-produced, and they were only suitable for beginners or those who did not pursue top-notch swords. They were useless to him.
But when he thought that Ye Jianyi could cut his throat as quickly as possible even with the most ordinary sword, he was not so disappointed. After all, although a sword is a good sword, what good is it if the person who can use it is not good enough? Woolen cloth?
Seeing him silently putting down the exquisite sword, the waiter glanced at it discerningly, and suddenly suggested: "If it doesn't meet the customer's wishes, there is a better sword on the third floor, but the price is more expensive, what do you think?"
Now that everyone is here, Song Ke plans to go up and have a look.
It doesn't matter at this sight, Song Ke's eyes are rounded in shock, and he hasn't been able to react for a long time.
I saw that the decoration on the third floor is even more luxurious than that on the second floor, and there are separate compartments for each type of weapon. The wall facing Song Ke is full of swords, but each one has a different shape, or color or color. Whether the weight or material or the engraved patterns on the hilt are completely different...
The sword lay there quietly, the moonlight shining down on the sword body was as clear as water, and there was an invisible coldness.
Song Ke was so excited that his eyes were dazzled.
You must know that in Jianghu, finding such a treasured sword is simply good luck that is hard to find in a hundred years. People in Jianghu are proud of obtaining these famous swords and show off to each other, but the city that never sleeps puts so many famous swords on the ground one by one. In front of him, this is too extravagant!
The waiter introduced Song Ke: "Every weapon here has its own name, which can be said to be unique. It is similar to this Qiushui. The light body of the sword is made of cold and mysterious iron, which is suitable for you. The one who wields the sharp sword."
Song Ke was moved by his words, his eyes fell on the autumn water, his eyes filled with longing, but soon the waiter introduced other famous swords, and once again occupied all his thoughts.
When the waiter introduced more and more, he became more and more entangled. He only thought that all these swords were very good, and he wanted them all.
But his money does not allow him to be presumptuous, he can only touch this, admire that, and love it.
"Guest." Seeing that he was taking too long, the waiter couldn't help suggesting, "Since you can't choose the sword, let the sword choose you."
Song Ke was at a loss: "The sword is a dead thing, can it still choose people?"
The waiter proudly said: "Of course, the swords in the city that never sleeps have spirituality."
Song Ke was even more puzzled, and the waiter put him in a position and asked him to close his eyes and feel the sword intent around him: "The guest has eaten the food from the city that never sleeps just now, and there is a high probability that he can succeed, although there is a city lord here It will be more foolproof, but you have to try everything."
Song Ke obediently closed his eyes, freeing his mind just to feel the sword intent in front of him.
He thought this was a very absurd move, but just after meditating for a while, he suddenly heard the humming of swords, it seemed that hundreds of swords vibrated in unison, an indescribable Qi rushed towards him.
Song Ke had never felt such an airway before, and subconsciously yearned to back away, but the reminder from the waiter next to his ear made him grit his teeth and endure it hard. The invisible heavy pressure seemed to suddenly fall on his shoulders, causing his body to sway, as if Is to kneel on the ground.
But fortunately, this situation didn't last long. Two different buzzing sounds came from next to his ears and filled his head. After a while, the pressure on Song Ke disappeared without a trace.
But when he opened his eyes and looked up, he was surprised to find that there were two swords stuck straight into the ground at some point, as if they were waiting for his choice.
Song Ke was dumbfounded.
Did Jian really choose him on his own initiative? !
How spiritual is this sword? !
Song Keben thought that after tasting the food in the city that never sleeps, there is nothing in the world that can surprise him, but now, looking at the two swords waiting for him, his heart beat faster and he swallowed.
"Congratulations, you are actually chosen by two swords." The shop clerk smiled openly, "This is rare, so please draw them out. Come out and have a try, and see which one is more suitable for you."
Song Ke also felt very excited when he said this.
It was incredible to be chosen by the sword, and he was chosen by two swords at the same time. Doesn't this mean that he is the genius of swordsmanship?
Song Ke resisted his excitement and went to the two swords to try to pull them out, but one of the swords was as heavy as a thousand catties, and he couldn't pull it out even with his strength, while the other Qiushui was so light that he could hardly pull it out. He needed his strength, and Qiu Shui was quietly lifted into the air by him.
This incident was simply miraculous, because when Song Ke calmed down and tried to pull out another sword, the sword that was originally as heavy as Mount Tai was pulled out by him easily, as if it was an illusion just now.
In a trance, Song Ke held Qiushui in his arms like a baby, and handed over more than 20 taels of silver.
When I stood on the main street of the city that never sleeps again, I recalled everything, and still faintly felt that I was dreaming.
"Brother Song, it's almost time." Pang Tianzong finally found him in the crowd, and hurriedly dragged him towards the opposite shop, "The auction is about to start, where are you going!"
Before Song Ke came back to his senses, Pang Tianzong had already caught a glimpse of Qiushui who was protecting him like a baby, and his face was startled: "Brother Song, when did you get this sword?"
Everyone looked into his arms subconsciously, and they all saw the beautiful Qiushui. Even in the night, the cold light of the Qiushui sword already gave off a faint halo. sword!
But the important thing is that Song Ke's original sword was not this one, so the origin of this sword... can only come from the city that never sleeps!
Tao Wenmao immediately exclaimed: "Is there any other place that sells swords in the city that never sleeps?!"
"It's not just swords." Song Ke finally adjusted his mood, and said in a deep voice, "Any high-quality weapons can also be bought there!"
"And..." Song Ke looked around at the crowd who suddenly showed joy, and asked, "Have you ever heard that you can choose the master's weapon?"
Everyone: "... what?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, their faces were very strange, and they didn't understand what he meant.
"Brother Song, weapons are all dead objects, how do you choose the master!"
"That's it!"
No one supports this theory, and just now Song Ke was one of these people.
But now, he was able to stand uprightly, and corrected loudly: "It's wrong! It's all wrong!"
Holding the autumn water in his hand, with a bright light in his eyes, he said firmly: "How can the weapons of this city that never sleeps be compared with the outside world? For example, the autumn water in my hand has magical spirituality. I saw it with my own eyes. Choose me and make my weapon!"
"……what???"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and they couldn't recover for a long time!
At the same time, a thought popped up in my mind, is Brother Song... out of his mind?
"Brother Song, what does this mean!"
"Can the sword choose its master? Could it be that it can speak??"
"Brother Song, are you... all right?"
Everyone was confused and thought that Song Ke was talking nonsense, but Song Ke was not annoyed, after all, he was as ignorant as this group of people before.
He explained in detail what happened to him in the Weapons Pavilion, and the entire group was dumbfounded. They couldn't figure out how the sword contained spirituality.
"...Is it true that the waiter in the shop is not cheating?"
Someone suddenly murmured in doubt, but this sentence suddenly changed the expressions of the others, and they stopped quickly: "Speak carefully! This is a city that never sleeps. Do you want to say that the city master Jiang is lying, Ye Jianshen's swordsmanship is lying, Chu Is the hero's miraculous dish a fake! It's impossible!
