"I don't know. Yesterday, the master called all the businessmen from the Chamber of Commerce to come to the house. I heard them talking before leaving, saying that they wanted everyone to help find it. I don't know what it was, but they actually wanted to use such a big connection.
"
Xiaoba sighed with a smile.
Lu Sheng didn't say anything after hearing this, but his expression was a little gloomy.
He walked along the main door and asked again as he walked.
"Has anything strange happened recently?"
"Um... Young Master, although Xiaoba is quite well-informed, how can strange things happen every day?" Xiaoba shrugged and said helplessly.
"On the other hand, the Goldfish Restaurant that you often go to. I heard that there was a fire last night, and half the street next to it was burned down. The flames were clearly visible to the kids from so far away last night.
.Tsk tsk...."
"The fire..."
Lu Sheng's heart sank, and he had a vague guess.
"Are you talking about the street where gouache is usually sold?"
"Isn't it? It's right there!" Xiaoba nodded fiercely, "I heard that many people died. Many of them included adults and children, and their whole families were gone.
It’s so miserable… I don’t know who the unscrupulous person was who set the fire!”
fire....
Lu Sheng said nothing more.
He kept this matter deep in his heart and did not think about him.
The black meeting was arranged at night three days later, in a cellar outside the city.
During these three days, Lu Sheng rested and ate normally every day. He obviously felt that his body was getting stronger. It seemed that the Black Tiger Sword modified by the modifier had also improved his physical fitness.
Within three days, he went to the street near the Goldfish Restaurant again. As expected, it was completely scorched, and many people were still busy rebuilding their houses.
Lu Sheng walked along the road he had walked again and found that it was exactly the same as what he saw that day.
Even the dead end is exactly the same.
He knew something in his mind, but he didn't panic.
Since there are water ghosts in this world, there can naturally be other things.
In three days, he originally planned to revise the introduction to Po Yu Jin that he bought.
But when I thought about the black meeting, I held back first to avoid modifying my body and causing serious injuries due to vomiting blood. Then I would lose the opportunity.
Time passed quickly.
In a blink of an eye, the appointed day arrived.
At about seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
Lu Sheng changed into black clothes and put on a tiger mask. It was a children's play mask bought randomly on the street. It was very rough.
The Zheng family's carriage has stopped at the gate of Lu Mansion.
He hurriedly got into the carriage and saw Zheng Xiangui sitting in the carriage, holding a braised chicken leg with both hands and chewing heavily.
This fat man is also wearing black clothes, but whether he is wearing it or not, others can tell from his exaggerated body shape that this guy is Master Fang, the host of the black club.
"Come on, come on, I'm waiting for you. Brother Sheng, hurry up and get in the car."
After the two sat down, the carriage began to move slowly.
Zheng Xiangui gave Lu Sheng instructions along the way, telling him what to do and what not to do after entering.
There are a lot of messy things to note.
Lu Sheng also remembered them one by one.
Soon we left the city, followed the main road and turned into a small road. Then we walked around the small road for a short distance and arrived directly in the suburbs.
After driving in the countryside for a while, the carriage entered a deserted small village and stopped in front of a stone house in the center of the village.
"That's it." Zheng Xiangui jumped out of the car, and the man in black guarding the door of the stone house stepped forward and saluted him.
"Everyone is here?"
"Everything is ready, and the first item for sale is already on display."
Zheng Xiangui nodded and urged.
"Let's go down quickly, it's already started."
He pulled Lu Sheng into the stone house. On the ground in the middle of the stone house, a wooden door was opened, and inside was a staircase leading underground.
Lu Sheng followed Zheng Xiangui and two guards down the stairs. At the bottom was a large cave.
The cave is still in good shape.
There is a large hall in the middle, surrounded by a circle of side rooms on the stone wall, like small bags hanging on the wall.
There were a few people sitting sparsely in the hall, and there were no candles burning in the surrounding bags, so it was obviously not in use.
"This place is quite big." Lu Sheng sighed.
"Hehe, we also discovered this place by accident." Fatty said with a smile, leading Lu Sheng into the back of the hall and towards the front row.
There were only about a dozen people participating in the entire black meeting, and they all sat down in the seats at the front of the hall.
A tall, thin man with his face covered stood on the stage, loudly introducing information about the products for sale.
Next to him stood two dwarfs, both dressed in red and green floral clothes. They were carrying a copper plate with a rusty dagger in it.
"The ancient dagger passed down from the Ju Rong Kingdom is most likely a sharp blade made by the ancient Duan Fengzi. It is engraved with the ancient Ju Rong Kingdom's characters. Even if it is... Hey! Guest No. 4 bids one
Thousand taels!
Is there a higher price! Is there a higher price!!?”
The man on the stage shouted loudly, looking very passionate.
Lu Sheng and Zheng Xiangui were sitting on the left seat.
The seats here are all lined up in rows and look like they are made of white stones. They feel cold and cold when you sit on them, so they are not very popular.
The fat man sat next to him, leaned over and whispered.
"The item you want is the fifth and second to last item."
Lu Sheng nodded and said nothing.
The dagger on the stage looked like it had been dug out of the earth not long ago. It was probably obtained by a tomb robber.
There were still many people bidding below, and in just a short time, the price of the dagger had risen to one thousand eight hundred taels.
Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. This was already nearly twice his monthly pocket money.
He no longer watched the bidding on the stage, but focused on the surrounding guests bidding.
Most of the guests at the black gathering were wearing weapons, ranging from short to long.
Most of them wore black clothes, but there were exceptions.
Out of the dozen guests in total, three of them didn't even make any attempt to hide themselves.
One is a big red-haired man carrying a big sword and wearing close-fitting yellow leather armor.
The other one was a thin young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He had two black leather bags tied around his waist. It was unknown what the bulging bags contained.
The third one is also the most eye-catching one.
Or rather a pair of two people.
Two, one male and one female.
The man seemed to be a guard, wearing a silver shirt and a long sword at his waist. His face was indifferent, and only when he looked at the woman, his face showed a trace of tenderness.
The woman wore a black skirt, which was different from the long skirts worn by ordinary women in ancient times.
The tight skirt she wore was similar to the hip-hugging skirt on Earth.
From top to bottom, there is only one close-fitting dress on the whole body, and the lower part of the skirt can only barely cover the buttocks.
If you lift your legs with a slightly larger movement, you can clearly see the area between the legs.
This woman was dressed sexyly, with long legs and a slender waist. A pair of white weapons on her chest stretched out her skirt. It seemed as if the clothes on her chest would burst at any moment.
Lu Sheng couldn't help but look at this woman's face.
The bridge of the nose is very high and the eyes are soft, as if they are shining with water, and it feels like they are smiling at any time.
Her long hair is shawl-length, smooth and black, so shiny that it is slightly reflective.
"This is much better than any PS makeup technology."
Lu Sheng secretly praised in his heart.
You can tell at a glance that this woman is someone with a good background. She is so beautiful and she dares to show her face casually in a black gathering. Only people who are extremely confident in their own strength dare to do this.
"That one is Duanmu Wan." Seeing that Lu Sheng noticed the woman, the fat man quickly came closer and introduced her in a low voice.
"But I don't recommend you to take advantage of her. This woman is very fierce!"
"Ferocious? What kind of cruel method?"
Lu Sheng was slightly curious. It wasn't that he was thinking about it, but suddenly the other party was too conspicuous, so he took a few more looks.
The fat man smiled and looked at the second auction item that had already started on the stage.
"Duanmu Wan came to Jiulian City two months ago, and it is said that she came with a team from the Chamber of Commerce.
It is not easy for two masters and servants to join the Chamber of Commerce alone and go such a long way."
"It's really not easy." Lu Sheng nodded.
"Moreover, because of her beauty, this woman became a prostitute when she arrived in Jiulian City. Many handsome young men were seduced by her. Guess what happened?" The fat man shook his head and sighed.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Sheng's curiosity was aroused at this time and he asked.
"A group of young men were all so fascinated that they finally got together to fight in a duel. Many people were seriously injured and several died." The fat man clicked his tongue.
"Even so, the severely injured and disabled people still thought of this woman's kindness. But in the blink of an eye, they forgot about everyone else."
"..." Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and felt a shiver in his heart. He had also heard about this matter, but he didn't expect that the cause was this woman. Those people who are disabled and still miss each other are no longer beautiful.
That's all I can explain.
He immediately labeled this woman named Duanmu Wan as extremely dangerous in his mind.
Women who can play around with so many people either have extremely high emotional intelligence or have special means. It is best to stay away from such characters as much as possible.
He focused his attention on the auction on the stage.
At this time it is the turn of the fourth auction item.
It is a brass-colored half-length leather armor.
"This leather armor, called Ice Wolf Armor, is made from the skins of nineteen white wolves in the Baicao Icefield, and is synthetically tanned. The nineteen layers of leather are only as thin as a copper coin after tanning.
The resistance to blunt weapons and swords is far superior to ordinary leather armor, almost equivalent to wearing an extra piece of chain mail on the body."
The man in black introduced the leather armor loudly.
"The starting price is two hundred taels!"
The people below were silent.
The host didn't take it seriously and asked a dwarf to hold the leather armor open. He pulled out a short sword and stabbed the edge of the leather armor hard.
Do.
With a muffled sound, the dagger was slid away, and there were only a few small scratches on the leather armor.
"Three hundred taels!"
Upon seeing this, someone immediately started bidding.
"Four hundred taels!"
"Six hundred taels!"
The prices on the table were getting higher and higher. When Lu Sheng saw this leather armor, he was a little moved. This kind of leather armor is light and flexible, easier to move than metal armor, and will not affect the movement. If the defense is really as described, then
It's indeed a good thing.
He wanted to make a bid, but when he saw that the price was approaching one thousand taels in an instant, he had no choice but to give up. His real purpose was the secret book below.
Don't let the small lose the big.
The leather armor was finally bought by the red-haired man with the sword.
Immediately afterwards, there was the penultimate thing.
