If this piece of black cloth is exposed to the world, the ruins of Tianmo Sect will be revealed to the world. If it is not announced, it will be difficult to know the origin of the magic power and the secrets of the demon clan. What's more, I'm afraid I won't be able to open the ruins because I'm weak.
There were still a few days before the full moon, and Ling Han came to the second floor of Yuling Tower alone. The maid who received him was still the same as last time, gentle, kind and welcoming.
"I want to auction items, when will the auction be held?" Ling Han wore a black robe and a cloak to cover his appearance. This kind of situation is very common at auctions, and everyone understands the truth that holding a bib is a crime.
Miss etiquette did not find it strange at all and fulfilled her responsibility and led Ling Han to the appraisal room.
A white-haired old man was studying some utensils. When he saw someone coming in, he straightened up. The maid beside him poured a cup of tea and left with the door.
The old man saw Ling Han covering his appearance. According to past experience, the thing the visitor wanted to auction must be mysterious. So he asked: "What is the young hero going to auction?"
Ling Han sat down unceremoniously and said arrogantly: "A map."
"Oh? Could it be..." The old man was obviously a little excited.
Ling Han smiled slightly and said: "Exactly!"
"Can I take it out and take a look?" Without waiting for Ling Han's reply, the old man quickly changed his words and said, "Sorry, I'm going to report it to the young lady. Young hero, please wait a moment."
Ling Han picked up the tea and tasted it carefully. It was tasteless like cold water, and he waited with his legs crossed.
Soon, Yi Lao and a girl came in. Through the cloak, I saw the blue jade girl. "Hello, sir, I am Lan Yu, the manager of Yuling Tower. Can you take out the map and take a look?" A soft voice sounded in Ling Han's ears. Ling Han took out the map and handed it to Miss Lan Yu.
The two studied it for a moment, and the old man said seriously: "This object is made of ancient materials. It is tough and corrosion-resistant. It should be true."
Miss Lan Yu handed Ling Han a token and said: "There will be a large-scale auction in Shenshi tomorrow, and this object will be auctioned at that time." Then she asked: "How about the starting price of one thousand taels of gold? There are many forces that are very If you are interested, I will send someone to release the news later, and it will definitely sell for a sky-high price."
Ling Han accepted the token, pretending to be calm and changed Sang Yin's words: "Then I'll trouble you, girl. I'll come back after the auction tomorrow."
"Sir, please rest assured that we will protect the customer's information and take good care of the auction items. Nothing will go wrong."
Ling Han nodded and left in a swaggering manner.
Yuling Tower did not send anyone to follow him, so Ling Han put away his cloak in a deserted alley.
Soon, Yuling Tower released news that a map of the ruins appeared and would be auctioned tomorrow. Suddenly, various forces in Qingyun City were surging, with their own plans in mind.
In the mountains not far from Qingyun City in the north, Black Wolf Village has been searching for news for many days.
"Brother, I will lead a team of people to charge over and seize the black cloth." A bald and sturdy man shouted wildly.
"Third brother, how many times have I told you, don't be impulsive. Not to mention that the third prince is in Qingyun City now, even if we only have the Yuling Tower, we can't take it." He was thin and sharp-mouthed, with his back hunched and his head leaning against the wall. The old two-pointed monkey warned the big man.
"This is not the imperial capital, and the third prince can't make the decision." In a cold and gloomy tone, Lang Kun, the head of Black Wolf Village, said: "We are not going to rob, we are going to bid."
Jianhou immediately said: "Okay, I will take a few brothers to the Yuling Tower to bid. Big brother, you and the third brother will meet you outside the city to guard against the two Lin brothers."
The third butcher wanted to say something, but Lang Kun stopped him with a look. "Find a place to hide that piece of reverse scale. If the second brother can't take a map, we will rush in."
The butcher smashed a wooden table into pieces and shouted, something strange flashed in the eyes of the shrewd pointy monkey.
Shankui Village is also in these mountains. Two brothers, Lin Shan and Lin Kui, are highly skilled in martial arts and came to Qingyun City a few years ago.
Because of some grudges, he killed a city lord, so he hid in the mountains and recruited some desperadoes to become the king of the mountain.
Originally, the Black Wolf Village was the only one family, but since the arrival of the two Lin brothers, half of all the resources have been taken away.
The dominance is threatened, the two families are in constant conflict, and the brothers in the village often go shopping.
Leng Yanhao was demoted and relegated to Qingyun City.
When the new city lord took office, he saw that the two strongholds were not in harmony with each other. He wanted to lead an army to attack and eliminate them in one fell swoop, and to do some political achievements so that he could report to His Majesty and strive to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he led the city defense troops to attack Heilang Village, the brothers from Shankui Village came up from behind like wolves and tigers.
One by one, they rushed forward without fear of death, and the leader, the two brothers of the Lin family, were even more unfathomable.
The enemy suffered heavy losses from both sides and had to give up. Afterwards, the two strongholds were still at odds with each other and friction continued.
This made Leng Yanhao puzzled.
This so-called lip-and-teeth dependence, the three-legged power that restrains each other, if the Black Wolf Village is destroyed, the Lin family's family fortune of several years will be in vain. On the other hand, Jianghu forces should help each other and jointly resist the imperial court's encirclement and suppression, so that they can survive for a long time.
In the City Lord's Mansion, the third prince took his seat, with Leng Yanhao and Min Yan, the head of the Min family, on both sides.
Min Song stared with innocent eyes and asked: "Since the black cloth has been obtained by Yulinglou, why doesn't His Highness summon Miss Lan Yu and ask her to offer it with both hands?"
Min Yan was immediately angry. He glanced at his son and said, "Don't be rude. You can't interrupt our conversation. Go home."
"Hey, Mr. Min is about the same age as me, so it's okay to just tell him." The third prince smiled calmly.
"What the third prince said is that Min Song doesn't understand the general situation and has offended many people." Seeing Min Yan's sincerity and fear, the third prince waved his hands very happily.
Leng Yanhao continued: "When will His Highness the Third Prince plan to attack the traitors?"
The third prince said sternly: "There is no rush, we will wait until the auction is over."
"On that day, the Demonic Dragon transformed into the Earth Dragon's Reverse Scale, but it was a pity that it was acquired by Black Wolf Village. They will definitely bid with all their strength in the auction tomorrow. I wonder what your Highness has planned. Do you need us to prepare funds?" Min Yan added.
The third prince laughed loudly and said: "No need, you can keep it to yourselves."
Hearing this, Min Yan broke into a cold sweat. On the way back, Min Song asked his father why he scolded him in front of the third prince.
Min Yan hated the ironclad and said: "Having lived in Qingyun City for so many years, don't you still understand the background of Yuling Tower?"
Min Song said aggrievedly: "Of course the child knows that the background of Yuling Tower is unfathomable and the Jianghu forces are extremely powerful, but after all, it is just a map. Does the Third Prince need to bid tomorrow?"
Min Yan stopped, pointed at Min Song and said without hesitation: "Study more to Leng Wenxue, and don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Sooner or later, the map will be in the possession of His Highness the Third Prince, including the ancient ruins. "
Afterwards, he suppressed the anger in his heart and explained to his biological son, "Can't you see that His Highness has a natural admiration for Miss Lan Yu? If she offers her both hands, wouldn't it ruin the recruitment of Yulinglou!"
Min Song scratched his head and seemed to understand.
Min Yan looked at Min Song's half-comprehensive look and continued: "Yuling Tower, City Lord's Mansion, Sima Mansion and our Min family are the largest four parties in Qingyun City. Sima Mansion is usually very low-key, but you still have to compete with us. Not sure? If you offend the third prince, our Min family will be finished."
Min Song nodded to express his understanding. The two families had been fighting over the ownership of several mineral veins, and the City Lord's Palace had always been on this side. If the third prince is dissatisfied with the Min family, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely change its attitude immediately, even though he and Leng Wen have a good relationship.
Back at the house, her sister Min Min saw her brother with his head hanging down and a frown on his face, and she asked in a sweet voice: "Daddy, did you scold you again?"
Min Song raised his head and looked at his sister and said, "I wish I were half as smart as my sister."
Min Min comforted her softly: "From now on, just listen more, learn more and talk less in front of Father."
Min Chan said: "Father said the same thing."
Looking at his brother's appearance, Min Min sighed helplessly. Then her pretty face turned red, she lowered her head and asked softly: "Is Mr. Leng okay?"
Min Song frowned and said in confusion: "He is very good. Why are you asking him? I am not good at your brother."
Seeing that my sister was silent, I didn't know what was going on in my heart.
