It was already cool in the October morning, and people who went out wore more clothes.
The news that Liu Cheng was killed and the Qi Dynasty was destroyed was like a heavy burden on the shoulders of every civilian. They didn't know where to go from now on.
Long Yu heard the news that the Northern Territory Allied Forces had entered the city and wanted to enter the palace to rescue him. Ye Yu couldn't stop him, but was stopped by Long Yun who hurried back.
"He has planned to kill you several times. It is already a great kindness for you not to kill him. How can you save him again? If so, what does the suffering your son has suffered these years mean? What about them, Chu Wen? Qi Ping? Yu Cheng? Liang Chen? Qu Zhi? Cai San?"
It's not just Ye Yu and Long Yun who stand in front of Long Yu, but also Qi Ping'a's sons Qi Fa, Kong Yi, Bai Hua, and Wang Xiao!
Looking at his two former subordinates and thinking about his former beloved general Qi Ping'a, Long Yu slowly sat back.
Long Yu could distinguish right from wrong and understood the truth, so he did not move.
It is not a strange thing for Kyushu to change dynasties, but this time it is very strange, and even the history books cannot find any record.
The Northern Territory, which was already in great power, could take advantage of the situation and claim the throne. However, after the Northern Territory Allied Forces captured Wushuang City, they withdrew and handed over Wushuang City to Si Yeqi.
The entire land of Kyushu is divided into four parts: East, West, North and South. Each department selects representatives from each prefecture to discuss government affairs. Four young scholars are in charge of government affairs. The Northern Territory Kingdom has retreated to the outside world and is managed in the north, while other countries occupy Just a few prefectures.
At this point, there are no high-ranking officials and nobility in the land of Kyushu, and there is no hierarchy. Everything is decided by the common people.
With the news spreading like this, people's lives will not change in a short period of time. After Si Yeqi took over Wushuang City, the Hundred Beasts Temple army entered the city one after another and joined forces with the former Forbidden Army to form a new army, responsible for the daily patrol of Wushuang City.
After everything was arranged, Long Yun left the city again and continued to search for medicinal materials and travel around the world.
The Millennium Snow Lotus was obtained from Shangguan Yuan before, some Hundred Insect Flower Bones were found from the storage room of the Tianshan Sect, Xu Mu tree species, Hao Lian pollen were bought from the shops in Wushuang City, and there were still five herbs left.
The closest to Wushuang City is Qingcheng, a very small town where many merchants hoard goods. Some of the goods that are not recognized by the court can be sold and circulated here, which can be regarded as a famous black market.
One of the medicinal herbs, Ruohuacao, can be purchased here.
According to Jade's records, Ruohuacao is a unique medicinal material that can reduce pain and arouse people's desires. Whether it is lust or murderous desire, any desire in the heart will be amplified and stimulated, and every time A single use of the drug can lead to dependence, which can make people unable to extricate themselves over time.
Since there are many medicinal materials for reducing pain, and most of them have no side effects, the sale and cultivation of Ruohua grass has been prohibited in the past dynasties.
But there are always some people who need it to do things that they usually dare not do, or to release the depression in their hearts. In this way, there will be huge profits, and some vendors will sell it secretly.
Long Yun went to Qingcheng Market and walked around a few times, asking many people, but he didn't get any useful information, and he didn't find out where the black market was. Just when he was bored, the noise of fighting came from the restaurant nearby.
"There are rumors in the world that you, Beiwang Chong, are so powerful and even listed in the Xu Shi Lu. I just don't believe it. If you don't give me a try today, don't even think about leaving!"
"North King Chong? Million Giant Elephant North King Chong?"
Long Yun perked up as soon as he heard this and walked into the restaurant.
The dining area on the first floor was not big, with only seven or eight tables. Long Yun walked in and sat down at the farthest place.
The one who yelled was a half-naked strong man with muscles all over his body that were so hard and tight that they looked like steel from afar.
Bei Wang Chong was sitting on the middle table, with a friend on each side.
The three of them seemed not to hear the strong man's shouts and continued to drink and eat meat.
The strong man was very angry at the three people's indifference. A three-meter-long sword suddenly appeared in his hand and he swung it straight down.
"It's actually a Kyoshi!"
Long Yun didn't expect that this inconspicuous strong man was actually a cynic.
Bei Wang Chong didn't care, casually pinched off a small section of a chopstick and flicked it out.
The sword, which was faster than the strong man, hit the strong man.
Boom!
The strong man's whole body was instantly beaten into powder, and his bones and flesh were scattered on the ground. The huge impact caused the blood that exploded out of his body to instantly turn into a blood mist.
People around him who were eating and watching the heat vomited out.
Long Yun secretly sighed in his heart: "It's so powerful. All the power is concentrated on a small section of chopsticks. The speed and timing of the attack are extremely precise. He can kill with one strike. It is also difficult to see the ability of the Dao Realm Kyoshi. He is indeed worthy of his reputation." !”
Several waiters hurriedly came out to clean up the minced meat in the area. At this point, Bei Wangchong lost interest in drinking and paid the money to leave.
Before leaving, Bei Wangchong deliberately glanced in Long Yun's direction.
Long Yun was a little eager to try, but he didn't want to force others to do something difficult like a strong man.
After Bei Wangchong left, Long Yun wandered around Qingcheng for a whole day, but he didn't get any information about Ruohuacao, and he didn't see the rumored black market.
I randomly found an inn to rest. When I was sleeping hazily in the middle of the night, Long Yun was awakened by the sound of rushing footsteps.
Opening the window slightly and looking outside, I saw irregular firelight shining in several places in Qingcheng, and there were people running back and forth on the streets.
"Does the black market only open in the middle of the night?"
Long Yun hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the street. Not far away, he was pulled into a shop by a hawker whom he had asked about during the day.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for Ruohuacao?"
"Yes, didn't you say you didn't know during the day?"
"When I saw that the guest officer was visiting Qingcheng for the first time, black market items are not allowed to appear during the day, and we can't even talk about them!"
"Oh? There are still these rules!"
"The wind is tight during this period. Objectively, if you want to buy Ruohuacao, the price will go up a bit!"
Long Yun didn't care about this little money. Although flowers and plants were rare, they could be grown after all, and they were not as precious as thousand-year-old ice and snow lotus.
After paying the money and preparing to leave, Long Yun suddenly felt a little dizzy and staggered a few steps.
"Miscellaneous smoke??"
Seeing Long Yun standing unsteadily, the vendor laughed and said, "How do you feel about this soul-calling grass, sir?"
"Evocation grass?"
As he spoke, the vendor extinguished a candle in the store, took out two green grass balls from his nostrils, searched randomly on Long Yun's body, and took out several silver and gold tickets in his arms.
"Miss Wei, we've made it, this guy is so damn rich!"
Behind the curtain of the store, a graceful woman walked out, her face covered by half of a green silk fan, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.
"What should I do with this kid?"
A gentle and elegant voice came: "Kill!"
"Boy, don't blame me. If you want to blame me, it's because you don't understand the rules!"
The vendor took out a dagger and stabbed Long Yun.
Long Yun circulated the energy and blood in his body and easily exhaled the smoke of the soul-calling grass.
The hawker planned to take action, but he couldn't quite place his target on Long Yun. His eyes were red and blurry, and when he looked down, he saw that his neck had been cut.
"Kushi!!"
Wei Qingyi's graceful figure jumped up, jumped high, and pointed her toes towards Long Yun's head.
If he could see himself making a move, the opponent must also be a virtual warrior, and Long Yun was full of fighting spirit.
A slender dark iron sword split vertically from top to bottom.
Wei Qingyi turned around in the air and took out a three-inch-long small black sword from his arms, blocking Long Yun's virtual black iron sword.
"What kind of sword is this? It's so hard!"
"Oh, you are really a new kid who doesn't even know about black gold?"
Wei Qingyi missed the target and tried to retreat.
Naturally, Long Yun would not easily let go of the woman who designed him.
Seven black iron swords came out of the void, blocking all Wei Qingyi's escape routes.
"Virtual level martial arts!!"
Wei Qingyi thought Long Yun was just a virtuous warrior in the military realm, but Wei Qingyi still looked down upon him.
"Qi Yuekong!"
Wei Qingyi clenched his fists, and the seven black iron swords surrounding him instantly turned into powder, and then disappeared into the curtain.
"What ability is this?"
Long Yun was shocked, took a step slower, and chased behind the curtain, but the person had disappeared.
Long Yun took back his banknote angrily. After leaving the shop, all the lights outside were turned off and there was silence.
Not knowing why, Long Yun returned to the inn, but nothing happened and he slept until dawn.
One night passed and he got up. Since he had got what he wanted, Long Yun didn't care too much about the woman's plot last night and prepared to leave Qingcheng.
The streets during the day are very different from the streets at night. They seem very ordinary and there is nothing strange about them. Who would have thought that this place would be filled with murderous intent at night.
Long Yun, who was about to leave, suddenly noticed a familiar figure before leaving, who looked very much like Miss Wei last night. Long Yun followed him quietly.
The breath suddenly flowed completely freely. Long Yun completely hid himself in the world and followed Wei Qingyi not far or near.
Wei Qingyi walked westward and came to a small house. The person who came out and opened the door turned out to be Bei Wang Chong.
Long Yun put his ear against the wall outside the house and listened quietly.
"Hey, we met a big seller last night, but it's a pity that he was a cynic, otherwise we could have gone to the auction in an upright manner!"
Bei Wang Chong: "Oh, you can't even deal with Miss Wei?"
"It's difficult. He's practicing virtual martial arts. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble at this critical moment!"
"That's right, this opportunity is rare, it would be a pity to miss it!"
"After all, are you sure you can defeat Meng Feiran?"
Bei Wangchong paused for a moment, seeming to be thinking, "It's hard to say, his Aurora Sword is too powerful!"
"Then how to rob?"
“We don’t necessarily have to steal it from the Meng Family Chamber of Commerce!”
"What does it mean?"
"We can wait until the auction is over and snatch it from the buyer, maybe it will be much easier!"
"This is a good idea, but..."
"There are some people I know in the Meng Family Chamber of Commerce. At least where the goods go, there won't be any problems!"
"That's good!"
The conversation between the two was not deliberately concealed. Long Yun overheard some of it intermittently outside the house and was very interested. What kind of goods were so important that two virtual warriors joined forces to snatch them? Who was that Meng Feiran? Even Bei Wang Chong, who was listed in Xu Shi Lu, was not sure!
In the next few days, news of the Meng Family Chamber of Commerce's arrival in the city spread without any need to inquire.
The Meng Chamber of Commerce, one of the four major chambers of commerce in Kyushu, will hold an auction in Qingcheng.
Also accompanying him was Meng Feiran, the second young master of the Meng family, who was said to be an extremely valuable treasure.
The Meng Family Chamber of Commerce has been doing business for many years, and almost no one dares to provoke them. It relies on its powerful guards. The Meng Family not only has many expert guards, but also several direct descendants who are not easy to deal with.
The head of the Meng family, Meng Fanlin, has a total of seven sons, each of whom is more powerful than the last. The eldest son, Meng Feiyuan, sits in the family and controls the overall situation. The second son, Meng Feiran, travels around to protect the treasure. Over the years, he has killed dozens of people who wanted to eat illegal things. A man in the world of martial arts.
The Meng Family Chamber of Commerce travels all over the country, doing business all over the nine states. They often fight with swords and swords, and fight to the death. Many people have seen or experienced the power of the Meng Family, and their martial arts moves are naturally clear.
Meng Feiran's Aurora Sword was very famous, and it was extremely fast. When he made a move, the opponent would often be pierced through the heart before he could react, which was very clean.
There are also many people who are complaining about it, and even spend money to ask Yu why Meng Feiran's Aurora Sword is not included in the Xu Shi Lu!
There is still no answer.
Long Yun suddenly became interested and stayed. The admission fee of one thousand taels of silver was really not low, but some people couldn't afford the treasure but still liked to see it.
The auction was not held at night like the black market, but at noon, in a very large restaurant.
The second floor of the restaurant has become a place for displaying treasures, while the first floor is where buyers gather.
People in the arena acted casually and did not pay attention to etiquette. They showed off their treasures directly. The shouts of the auction kept coming and going, making it very lively.
Long Yun found a table next to him and sat down. He looked around, but did not find Wei Qingyi or Bei Wang Chong.
"It seems like they said they will wait until it's over before taking action!" Long Yun didn't want to meddle in other people's business. He just wanted to know what the two virtual warriors could work together to snatch.
After the auction of the messy rare treasures, a slightly fat middle-aged man walked up holding a wooden box!
"Look, Meng Feiran is here!"
The middle-aged man followed Meng Feiran, never leaving, causing the noisy crowd to quiet down.
"I don't know what kind of treasure it is, but it actually alerted the second young master to travel thousands of miles to Qingcheng to protect it in person!"
A few whispers below meant that most people still came here for this treasure.
"Everyone, please be quiet. The last auction item today is the top priority of this auction! A treasure that makes countless people crazy - the Wrath of the Flame Dragon!"
"Well!"
The entire venue suddenly became so quiet that even the sound of breathing became thick and harsh. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the wooden box in the middle-aged man's hand.
"One billion taels of gold!"
