"The Lord of the City said that things are booming down here. The discovery of a few pieces of good jade has attracted the attention of all forces?"
Gong Yangshu sat next to Ling Han, drinking tea and chatting in a simple and natural manner, as if talking to an old friend: "Yes, I have been relegated to Xieyang City for many years, and you are still the first."
"And he is a young man from outside. He solved several precious treasures in one day, including jade that made me jealous."
"Hehe, it's just luck. A few pieces of jade won't offend the four major families. That's too stingy." Ling Han laughed.
"That's not stingy. Who wouldn't be jealous of a jade that is rare to find in a century or even a thousand years?"
"Indeed, maybe they are afraid of my ability to recognize jade!" Ling Han nodded. If he is lucky, if he can really see the jade in the stone, then the entire jade industry in Xianyang City will be over.
"Fortunately, you are an understanding person." Gong Yangshu took a sip of tea and analyzed slowly.
"The balance between them has been broken by you. They admire or are jealous of your ability to recognize jade. They will either recruit you or get rid of you!"
"You are already in the limelight." Gong Yangshu warned.
Ling Han said helplessly: "I can't hide or leave Xieyang City just because of this matter. I've only been here a few days and there are still a lot of things I haven't done."
"Our City Lord's Mansion can protect you!" Gongyang Shudao clearly understood the pros and cons and extended an olive branch.
"You're recruiting me too?" Ling Han didn't understand what this old guy was planning.
Gong Yangshu first shook his head and denied the solicitation, then stared at Ling Han with fiery eyes and said, "I will give you one hundred thousand gold. Can you sell the top-quality Jade King to me?"
"One hundred thousand gold? How can a city lord have so many courtiers?" Ling Han was quite surprised. After all, he still had his eye on a certain piece of jade.
Gongyang Shu's face turned red and he said, "Ahem, it's rare to see something strange."
"Sorry, I need it too." Ling Han refused directly.
Gong Yangshu said calmly and honestly: "I knew it, you can't force it." There was no hint of disappointment on his expression.
"Xieyang City is not peaceful. All forces are intertwined. There is war in the south. The empire focuses on the southeast and is unable to regulate the northwest. Therefore, this situation has been formed. The three realms of humans, demons and ghosts are infiltrating and blending!"
Gong Yangshu analyzed the situation in Xianyang City, "Even demons are among them!"
Ling Han was shocked and said, "What did the Lord City Lord find?"
"This is a secret. It's not convenient for me to tell you." Gong Yangshu narrowed his eyes and said, "Unless you sell me the best Jade King."
"..."
"Be careful when living in Xieyang City. There are forces from all sides looking at you in the open, demon masters hiding in the dark, ghosts in the shadows, and monsters in the wild. You are just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered."
"City Lord, are you trying to scare me? I'm an adult."
"If you are afraid, come to the embrace of the empire. The City Lord's Mansion will protect you."
"But I still can't bear to part with the Ultimate Jade King."
"There's no rush, just think about it slowly."
"Okay, I'll take my leave!" Ling Han cupped his hands and clasped his fists.
Gong Yangshu smiled and said: "Go slowly, don't send me away!" It is difficult for a person to survive in Xieyang City. Sooner or later, he will be presented with the best Jade King.
Intimidation and inducement, the city lord is not bad at it. It is a kind reminder and a threat. The attitude is tepid. It is difficult for Ling Han to judge what kind of medicine Gongyang Shuhulu is selling.
As soon as I walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, I suddenly felt someone was watching me again.
Ling Han had an idea and shouted towards the City Lord's Mansion: "City Lord, there is no need to send experts to protect me secretly, they can't do anything to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person watching immediately disappeared. Ling Han raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he saw this, and quickly changed into a cloth and put on a bamboo hat in a corner.
…
Wei Huai was listening to a play in the private room of Xingmanyuan when suddenly a subordinate walked in and said, "Why are you back!"
The subordinates said in fear: "The city lord has sent experts to protect him secretly. I am afraid that my identity will be exposed."
"Asshole, when were we afraid of the City Lord's Mansion!"
Yan Ying, the leader of the Changkong Sect next to him, said: "That's wrong. Gong Yangshu is greedy by nature. If he has a deal with Konoha, he may not be able to protect him with all his strength."
"Gong Yangshu has a beloved damaged heavenly weapon and has been looking for repair materials. He will not let go of the best Jade King."
Wei Huai asked: "Do you think that boy can sell it?"
Yan Ying is about thirty years old. He is dressed in black, wearing a mask, and his eyes are as bright as a war eagle. "Gong Yangshu has accumulated countless wealth. The heavenly soldiers are of great significance to him, so he may not buy them with a lot of money."
Wei Huai scratched the back of his hand and said with a sad face: "I hope he won't sell it. It's easier to get jade treasures in his hands than in Gongyang Loser's hands."
…
Xing Xiu's father, Xing Daotian, said: "Not only are we targeting him, there are other forces as well. We can't wait any longer and must act first."
His sister Xing Caifeng said anxiously: "Brother, what should we do?"
"Send a group of experts to rob them in the street while covering their faces!"
"Ah, father, what if your men are careless and hurt their lives?" Xing Xiu looked worried.
"Who cares about his life or death? I want jade!"
Xing Xiu angrily shouted: "Is there any more Wangfa!"
"The law of the king? In Xieyang City, the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle!" Xing Daotian said angrily: "What happened to you today? It's okay to lose to him. Why are you still worried about him?"
When Xing Caifeng saw the father and daughter quarreling, she hurriedly pulled Xing Xiu'er forward and said, "Xiu'er, don't talk to your father like this. Let's go back to the room."
Xing Xiu curled her lips, a string of tears fell down, and uttered a few words: "I won't let him die anyway!" Then she slammed the door and left.
"This girl!" Xing Daotian said to Xing Caifeng, "It's all because of the old man's habit!"
Xing Caifeng was in her thirties, still as beautiful as a flower, unmarried, and had been helping the family with things. She comforted Xing Daotian: "Okay, calm down, I'll send someone to take care of it right now!"
…
Ping Hu helped Zhao Hu and said in a loud voice: "That boy is about the same age as you. Aren't you ranked ninth in the martial arts exam? Give him a fight. He is definitely no match for you. Defeat him and win the space alien crystal."
Zhao Yang said with a slumped face: "Dad, are you willing to duel with me?"
"What happened that day with the boy from the Wei family? Can't it happen again?"
"Dad, that's a martial arts competition!" A few days ago, Zhao Yang met Wei Bing in the finals of the martial arts examination. The two had fought several times before, and they were evenly matched.
This time, Zhao Yang made a small breakthrough and had the idea to make a bet with Wei Bing. The winner would pick a high-quality weapon from the opponent. Wei Bing readily agreed and lost to Zhao Yang within one move, and also lost a handy high-grade weapon.
After Zhao Hu learned about it, he laughed heartily. Tiger's father had no son, so he felt that he had gained enough face. Thinking about it, he felt proud and rewarded Zhao Yang greatly.
He wanted to do it again, but when Zhao Yang resisted, Zhao Hu glared at him and scolded: "You can't think of a way!"
"Even if they accept my duel, what will I bet on?"
"Don't I have enough treasures for you? Brothers are robbing, no, the treasures earned are not all yours." Zhao Hu took out a stone and said: "Just tell him, fight with me, win If you win, this stone belongs to you, if you lose, hand over the space alien crystal."
Zhao Yang took the stone, knocked it twice and looked at it carefully and said: "It's very common. Even if it is opened, it will hardly be worth one-tenth of the space alien crystal."
Zhao Hu knocked his son on the head and said: "Idiot, who can know what is inside until it is unlocked? This is an excuse. Tell him that this is a top-quality jade stone and lure him to fight with you."
Zhao Yang clenched his fists, obeyed his father's words, and said, "Okay, I will fight with him. Whoever wins gets the stone!"
"Hahaha, okay, this is my son!"
…
In the mercenary camp, deputy captain Du Chen said: "Captain, the four major families and the four major gangs are preparing to attack Konoha. Should we also take action?"
Du Chen was Zhang Kuang's first acquaintance when he arrived in Xieyang City. He ranked fifth in the martial arts test in Xieyang City. He was loyal, brave, and extremely efficient, and became Zhang Kuang's right-hand man.
Zhang Kuang was planning the route to capture the monster when he stopped to take a sip of tea and asked, "Where is he now?"
"I just came out of the city lord's mansion. I heard that Gong Yangshu secretly sent experts to protect him. The brothers didn't dare to get too close and lost track of him."
"I have received information that there is something weird in Konoha. Let's not attack first. We will wait until they are almost done fighting before we do Oriole."
Du Chen acted neatly and said: "Okay, I'll give the order right now."
