Cao Jinxing took [Panlong Stick] and [Seven-Star Knife] home as free gifts, and bought roast chicken and wine from Huixianju for dinner.
It felt good after eating it last time, but as soon as it arrived at my door, I knew I had bought it too early.
"Brother Cao."
Zhang Chengfeng was waiting in front of the gate, followed by the butler Guan Chong.
"How did you come?"
Zhang Chengfeng is a very busy man nowadays. After he officially took over Fengyun Villa, he has to rely on him to take care of all businesses, and his busy feet never touch the ground.
He also likes to study firearms, and this hobby takes up a lot of his free time. It is extremely difficult for most people to meet him.
Zhang Chengfeng smiled and cupped his hands and said: "My father has just recovered from his illness, so he asked me to come and invite Brother Cao to his home for a while... He has suffered eight years, and he wants to express his gratitude in person."
I see.
You told me earlier, I bought all the roast chicken...
"His injuries are at their origin and cannot be cured in ten and a half months."
Seeing that his attitude was sincere, Cao Jinxing softened his expression slightly as before, and said: "It's better not to worry about it anymore. It's better to rest in peace and cultivate yourself. It won't be too late to meet again when things get better one day. And..."
Cao Jinxing was helpless: "I have something to do tonight. I have to go to the ghost market to sell a few things and buy a few more on the way."
"Ghost market?"
Of course Zhang Chengfeng knows this place, he has a store there, and what he sells is his specialty [Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle].
Zhang Chengfeng was a little disappointed, but he also expected it. Cao Jin was calm and indifferent, and he never paid attention to the life-saving grace, so naturally he didn't take it too seriously.
"Brother, what do you want to buy? Let me know, my family also has a store in the ghost market, why don't I..."
"Stop it."
Cao Jinxing said: "I know you have money, and one code will be the same. The treasures of heaven, materials, and earth were traded in advance, and it's your turn to spend money. For everything else, you don't owe me, so there is no need to spend money."
Besides, these things have troublesome origins, so don’t take any of them from me... Well, go back and take care of your father, the capital is not peaceful these days."
He walked back home. He still had some time before leaving the city, so he wanted to fill his stomach first.
Zhang Chengfeng followed.
Cao Jinxing paused and said with a headache: "Why are you so stubborn? I'm tired of what I said."
Zhang Chengfeng said with a smile: "The ghost market is deep, and there are many daring people who pass off the good stuff and then escape far away. Even high-ranking officials dare to cheat. Why don't I go with my brother and help out?"
It's called help, but it's actually the eye of the palm.
Cao Jinxing thought of his ignorant appearance in the morning and that he really needed someone in the industry to look after him - he wanted to buy a good flute.
People who are not short of money certainly cannot lose themselves.
Even if we are practicing, we still want top-quality goods!
Cao Jinxing thought for a while: "Are you free now? Don't delay things."
"Don't worry, you have a lot of time!"
Zhang Chengfeng was categorical. Brother Cao was so greedy that he couldn't repay his kindness even if he wanted to. After all, he helped me a little, so he had to take time off even if he didn't have time!
"That's okay."
Cao Jinxing agreed and cooked the chicken in one fell swoop: "Do you want to eat it?"
…
The sun sets in a blink of an eye.
After Cao Jinxing had eaten and drank enough, he and Zhang Chengfeng went to Liyushan Yuyan Cave to wait for the market to open.
He was dressed in a flying fish suit and had an embroidered spring knife on his waist, which scared people away as soon as he arrived.
The entrance to the cave was crowded, but a clearing of five feet around him was spontaneously made, and there was only one Zhang Chengfeng.
Jinyiwei.
Or Fu Qianhu.
If you don't hide far away, what are you waiting for?
The reputation of Jinyiwei in the capital is second only to Dongchang, but outside the capital it is just the opposite.
Anyway, no matter whether they are number one or number two, these two are the organizations that people in the world fear and hate the most.
Cao Jinxing didn't pay attention to everyone's gaze.
Soon, at Xu time, red lanterns were hung at the entrance of the cave, the gates were opened, and the ghost market opened.
"First go sell weapons and exchange for some elixirs."
Cao Jinxing walked in with the large army.
"Brother, these items are special. Ordinary stores don't dare to accept them, and they won't be able to sell them... It's better to go directly to the 'three' stores. They have a strong foundation and many miraculous medicines."
Zhang Chengfeng came up with the idea.
The three families he was talking about were the Wu, Chen, and Huang families who were at the helm of the ghost market.
"OK."
Cao Jinxing didn't know much about the ghost market, so of course he listened to him. Zhang Chengfeng took him to a three-story building called "Qingyu Building".
"This is a shop run by the Huang family. They specialize in rare treasures, magical weapons, and many miraculous medicines. When my father was seriously ill, I once bought a [Good Luck Pill] here."
"oh?"
Cao Jinxing was surprised and looked at the small building carefully. He didn't expect them to be so energetic!
[Good Fortune Pill], as its name suggests, can regenerate people's good fortune. It can build muscles and bones in an instant, cure diseases and injuries, and restore skills. It is very rare.
This is life-saving stuff!
Lu Fu gave him a bottle, only five pills. He had used one before and it made him feel distressed when he thought about it.
Anyone can hide this kind of elixir and sell it, which means he has more! This is evident from his profound knowledge.
"Go in and have a look."
Cao Jinxing strode in.
The middle-aged shopkeeper inside had already noticed him. Cao Jinxing greeted him with a smile as soon as he entered the door. He saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Xie An, the shopkeeper of Qingyulou, has met thousands of adults. Your presence here really makes the shop flourish."
Hui…”
"No more polite words."
Cao Jinxing waved his hand and said, "I have three things I want to get rid of. Do you dare to accept them, shopkeeper Xie?"
Xie An was stunned and noticed what he was holding - a long stick wrapped in white cloth and a black package.
"Can I take a look?"
Xie An didn't say he dared, nor did he say he didn't dare. Smart people all know that you can't say everything you want, and it's just a quick talk, which is what a fool does.
Cao Jinxing nodded and handed out the package: "Let's look at these two first. These two can be collected, and then look at the stick. Otherwise, it will be in vain."
"..."
Xie An became more cautious and opened it carefully. Inside was a short knife and a pair of gloves.
He was well-informed and immediately recognized what was inside!
——The former is a family heirloom of Badao Villa, and the latter is a black iron glove belonging to the twelve zodiac signs of the Smiling Tiger in the Opera House.
Xie An shook his hand!
Cao Jinxing smiled and said, "Can you accept it?"
Xie An bent down, became more respectful, and said with his right hand: "Please come to the Yage and take a seat, Mr. Cao."
"oh?"
Cao Jinxing raised his eyebrows: "You know me? This is strange. Counting this time, this is only my second time entering the ghost market. How did Shopkeeper Xie know about me?"
"My lord is joking."
Xie An said: "First kill the twelve zodiac animals of Xi Ling Lou, then injure the 'Fire Cloud Sword' Zhao Siyuan, and today, with one stroke, I created the Ming Zong Guangming Zuo Envoy and the Protector of the Dharma... Mr. Cao has become famous. Although Xie An is ignorant, he also
Have you heard of..."
"hehe."
Cao Jinxing smiled and said meaningfully: "It's interesting. What I did in the morning spread around in the evening. Either the Zhenfu Division leaked through the sieve, or the shopkeeper Xie has great hands and eyes..."
Most people would be scared to death hearing this.
But Xie An had a strange look on his face: "Master Cao has misunderstood. Not only we know about this, but anyone with some insight knows about it... Sir, do you know where the three miles south of the prison are?"
"..."
Cao Jinxing's expression changed.
The imperial prison is located in the west section of Chang'an Street, not far from Zhenfusi. Although it is some distance away from residential buildings, it is only three miles away...
Xie An said: "Flower and Bird Alley, a restaurant in the world! The famous building in the capital is overcrowded every day. Three miles is still far for ordinary people, but it is only a few breaths for martial arts masters. At that time, the music of the piano was everywhere, and many people heard it.
It’s just that no one dared to come close, but the scene of your Excellency severely injuring the Ape King with [Xuantian Sword Fingers] was witnessed by many famous heroes! You..."
"Okay, okay!"
Cao Jinxing quickly stopped, almost publicly executing him: "I'm sorry, I wrongly blamed you..."
He looked helpless and said: "Let's just talk about business, just turn over this page..."
Grass!
How can you keep a low profile from now on?
Everyone in the capital knows this!
Mingzong must not hate me to death?
What do the Zhao family think?
What do the Yan family think?
My day!
He turned to Zhang Chengfeng and asked, "You also know?"
Zhang Chengfeng said strangely: "I know. I thought you already knew..."
