Seeing that Xue Caiyi still looked a little sad, Xia Yu said with a smile: "It seems that Yunmen City will not be peaceful recently. Caiyi, if you don't want to get involved, why not find something to avoid this dispute for the time being."
Xue Caiyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Because of Qiu Wanchai's involvement, one-third of the management here can no longer be used. Now that the manpower is not enough, I really can't escape! Zhuo Zicheng's side
, I can only stay in vain for the time being..."
While chatting about the situation in Yunmen City, he watched the auction. Because he had the dagger sent by Zhuo Zicheng, when the dagger arranged by Xue Caiyi appeared, Xia Yu stopped taking pictures. Xue Caiyi also
Without insisting, Xia Yu accepted the dagger anyway, and she was already very satisfied.
…
After the auction ended, when Xue Caiyi sent Xia Yu and Qiao Xiaopang away from the auction house, they unexpectedly met Zhuo Zicheng again at the gate of the auction house.
Zhuo Zicheng smiled and said: "Miss Xue, I just got a batch of pearl tea from Ziyue Plain, which is most suitable for a beautiful woman like Miss Xue to drink. I will deliver it to the mansion in person tomorrow, which can be regarded as my apology for what happened today.
"
"Young Master Zhuo, you don't have to be polite. It's Caiyi who should thank Mr. Zhuo today... There will be many things going on in the chamber of commerce tomorrow, and I'm afraid Caiyi won't have time to entertain Young Master." Xue Caiyi said with a smile.
Zhuo Zicheng hit a soft nail, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. He laughed and said with a smile: "Then look for another opportunity, look for another opportunity..."
At this moment, a man who looked somewhat similar to Zhuo Zicheng came over with several of his men.
Seeing that man, Zhuo Zicheng's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom. That was his younger brother Zhuo Zili, his current biggest competitor.
From a distance, Zhuo Zili shouted: "My elder brother, I heard that you spent two thousand and five thousand medium-grade spiritual stones to buy a peerless sword. As soon as I heard it, I rushed over to see what it was.
The sword is worth the price!"
Zhuo Zicheng's expression changed, and he secretly thought that it was unlucky that Zhuo Zili chose such a time to come, and it was obvious that he came with bad intentions. He said solemnly: "You don't need to worry about my affairs, just take care of yourself! Look at it.
You yelled as soon as you arrived and were so rude, others thought our Zhuo family was uneducated!"
"Who are you saying is uneducated?" Zhuo Zili was furious and was about to argue. A pale old man next to him quickly tugged on his sleeve and whispered, "Second Young Master, don't argue with him about this! He just wants to
You are so angry that you will make a fool of yourself in front of everyone!"
"Damn! My eldest brother is really treacherous. No wonder I always suffered losses before. Dad didn't like me either. Fortunately, you remind me now..." Zhuo Zili suppressed the anger in his heart, ignored Zhuo Zicheng, and turned towards
Xue Caiyi gave a salute and said, "Miss Xue, this big brother of mine is not sensible. I apologize to you on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Zhuo Zili!" Zhuo Zicheng said angrily, "What do you mean by this? What qualifications do you have to represent the city lord's palace?"
Zhuo Zili snorted, "Brother, you and I both know what your intentions are for coming to this auction! I advise you to put away your little cleverness. Dad is already so ill, and you are actually
Still thinking about the ones that are available and those that are not!”
"Zhuo Zili, you..." Zhuo Zicheng stared, his face flushed. He stared fiercely at the white-faced old man next to Zhuo Zili, wishing to tear him apart.
Zhuo Zili has a reckless temperament and is careless. He was often framed by Zhuo Zicheng's envoys in the past. However, since a year ago, Zhuo Zili's subordinates have had this white-faced old man, and they have become much more prudent in their actions and smoother in speech.
Now instead
Zhuo Zicheng often got into trouble and couldn't get off the stage. All this was because of this white-faced old man. In order to harm this white-faced old man, Zhuo Zicheng thought of many ways and hired a casual cult killer. But for some reason, he was killed every time.
He hid.
Seeing that the tension between the two brothers seemed to be about to start a fight, Xue Caiyi quickly said: "Master Zhuo, Second Master Zhuo, I have something else to do, so I have to take a step forward!"
"Hey, wait..." Zhuo Zili shouted, cupped his hands towards Xia Yu and Qiao Xiaopang, and said familiarly, "I've heard of their names a long time ago, and I really want to make friends with them.
My friends, it’s too late today, I’ll visit you two another day…”
Xia Yu and Qiao Xiaopang looked at each other, and after a few words with Zhuo Zili, they were able to escape. As for Xue Caiyi, she originally just wanted to come out to see Xia Yu off, but in this situation, it was inconvenient for her to stay at the auction venue.
It's better to avoid it immediately.
When Xue Caiyi and others walked away, Zhuo Zili lowered his voice and sneered: "I said, brother, the position of city lord belongs to those who are capable. I think you should forget it..."
"I am your eldest brother, so of course I am more qualified than you!" Zhuo Zicheng gritted his teeth and said, "And my father loves me the most, as everyone can see!"
Zhuo Zili said contemptuously: "But everyone has seen that you are just a playboy who can't stand up to the wall! Look, what a stupid thing you did today!"
After Zhuo Zili finished speaking, he laughed a few times and left. Zhuo Zicheng looked at Zhuo Zili's back and gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be proud, I will go find Xue Caiyi tomorrow. I don't believe that the Southwest Chamber of Commerce can
Reject the conditions I proposed..."
…
Early the next morning, while Qiao Xiaopang was still sleeping in his room, Xia Yu had already gone out and strolled around Yunmen City.
Speaking of which, he has been to Yunmen City for a while, but he has not really had a good look around. Qiao Xiaopang has been thinking about the formation talisman recently and is not in the mood to run around. Xue Caiyi wants to accompany him as a guide.
He took a nice tour of Yunmen City, but there were too many things going on within the Southwest Chamber of Commerce recently, so he never got what he wanted.
Xia Yu seemed to be aimless. He first walked around the busiest streets in Yunmen City, then went to the cultivation items market in Nancheng, and then went to the snack street in the city.
It was such a big circle, and it wasn't until noon that he "happened" to pass by the city lord's palace.
In fact, this is his real destination. He came out today just to let Xiao Hei go to the city lord's mansion to investigate and see if the city lord Zhuo Gang is really as short-lived as the legend said.
It only took less than a stick of incense for Xiao Hei to come back, "The city lord is not ill, but poisoned. It is indeed more dangerous and cannot be delayed for too long."
Xia Xia Yu nodded secretly, "It looks like these two Zhuo brothers are really going to have a fight!"
Xiao Hei let out a disdainful "hum", "These two brothers are not very good. If it were in the past, these two people might not be able to become city lords!"
