In the main hall of the front yard of Prince Wu's Mansion, after the two sides introduced each other, Wu Ming ordered tea to be served and secretly looked at the other three people. Summit 23S.
Fastest update
There are two men and one woman, one middle-aged man named Li Jingye, who is a branch of the royal family of the Mid-Tang Dynasty. His bloodline has become so remote that it can be ignored. He can be regarded as the envoy of the Mid-Tang Dynasty participating in the grand event.
In fact, the remaining four countries did not send many people. After all, the once-a-decade auctions are held in each country one after another, and there are often small auctions.
The reason why people are sent is, firstly, to obtain special treasures from various places, secondly, to maintain normal trade routes, and thirdly, to spy on information.
The second person was a rather elegant and handsome man about twenty years old, named Wei Jingtang. As Wu Ming expected, he was the descendant of Zheng Guogong from a family of famous prime ministers in the mid-Tang Dynasty.
The Wei family is not only hereditary Duke, but also one of the twenty-four heroes of the founding of the Middle Tang Dynasty, ranking third in Lingyan Pavilion, and its status is far higher than that of the other royal families.
As for the third person, it is surprisingly Chu Chu who has not been heard from for two years!
Although his appearance had changed greatly and his stature had grown a little, Wu Ming could still recognize him at a glance. After all, some habits couldn't be changed, especially those strange and beautiful eyes that occasionally shimmered with a cunning look. They couldn't change at all.
It is still unclear why this woman traveled with people from the mid-Tang Dynasty and why she came here.
"The king of Wu is paying tribute. I have something to discuss with Mr. Wu. You guys can chat!"
After the three of them sat down, Li Donghu couldn't stand Honglian's gaze, so he directly found a reason to hide away.
"Tea please!"
Wu Ming nodded disapprovingly, and when he saw that the three of them didn't speak a word after drinking tea, his heart moved slightly, "It seems that they are not from the same group!"
What surprised him was that when he cast inquiring glances at Chu Chu several times, the woman turned a blind eye and had no intention of continuing.
"cough!"
Seeing that the other two people were silent, Li Jingye coughed lightly, bowed his hand to Wu Ming, took out a jade pendant and said, "I'm sorry for visiting you, Your Majesty. I wonder if Your Majesty recognizes this?"
Honglian stepped forward and presented the jade pendant to Wu Ming, then obediently stepped aside.
"The Lu Family Blood Pendant!"
Wu Mingli rubbed it briefly, feeling the breath in the jade pendant slightly, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Although the blood pendant can be faked, the patterns and handwriting engraved on it are nothing, but the aura of blood within it cannot be faked.
After all, no matter what, Wu Ming also has the blood of the Lu family, and he has also seen the blood pendants of the Lu family brothers and sisters!
"Your Majesty has a keen eye. This item is indeed the Lu family's blood pendant. I got it from a member of the Lu family who was seriously injured on the road."
Li Jingye said casually.
"Whatever Mr. Li wants, just say it!"
Wu Ming put down the jade pendant and said calmly.
Li Jingye had been observing Wu Ming's expression. When he saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he smiled lightly and said: "I have heard that King Wu is unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness, and he takes great care of his family. I am here to ask for a favor from the prince."
!”
"Master Li must have met the Lu brothers and sisters, so he should know exactly what I mean!"
Wu Ming's face turned cold, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is meant to see off guests!
Moreover, the words contained a dislike for the Lu brothers and sisters, otherwise they would not call them by their surnames.
"The prince and the Lu family are blood relatives. I am a guest from afar. I shouldn't force anything, but..."
Li Jingye's face turned slightly stiff and he forced a smile.
"It's just that you made a deal with the Dongfang Family and wanted to exchange people for the jade pendant in my hand."
Wu Ming grabbed the conversation and revealed it unceremoniously.
"Your Majesty is a sensible person, so he will not let others criticize him for being petty."
Li Jingye said with a slightly gloomy expression.
"You should know very well how many people died in Beijing a while ago!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
With his intelligence, how could he not detect the threat from the other party?
It's nothing more than a matter of reputation, a fight of temper, and no regard for the safety of family members.
"You...you dare to threaten me?"
Even though Li Jingye was mentally prepared, he was trembling with anger at such a naked threat.
After all, he was from the royal family of the Middle Tang Dynasty, the first dynasty in China. When had he been so underestimated by a foreigner?
"This king is just a kind reminder. If Mr. Li misinterprets it into a threat, there is nothing I can do about it!"
Wu Ming spread his hands and said.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that the King of Wu, who is unrivaled in benevolence and righteousness, would be such an ignorant and reckless person. I have seen enough experience to take my leave!"
After saying a few words without speculation, Li Jingye walked away in a hurry.
"Mr. Wei and Mr. Li are both from the Middle Tang Dynasty. How can I help?"
Wu Ming didn't take it seriously and looked at Wei Jingtang playfully.
"They are just silverfish and their ilk. They only rely on the influence of their ancestors to dominate and bring good fortune. They are not worth mentioning, but they make the prince laugh."
What surprised Wu Ming was that Wei Jingtang, who had been watching with cold eyes from beginning to end, did not hide his disgust at all.
"Haha, Mr. Wei is really a very human being!"
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows, smiled heartily, and picked up the tea cup.
Wei Jingtang's eyes flashed slightly and he glanced at Chu Chu.
As if unaware, Chu Chu looked at her nose with her eyes, and her nose with her heart, as if an old god was arranging the decorations in the admiring hall.
"I heard that the prince has a Dragon Song Pill. I am not very talented, so I would like to exchange it for this treasure."
Wei Jingtang pondered for a moment, then took out a palm-sized jade box from his sleeve, with fine runes engraved all over the body, and handed it to Honglian.
"No need!"
Wu Ming showed a hint of surprise, without even looking at it, and waved his hand for Hong Lian to take it back.
"Your Majesty, you can take a look and say it before it's too late. If you feel it's not enough, I would like to..."
Wei Jingtang frowned slightly.
"Mr. Wei is here to make a deal. I believe in your sincerity, but what you lack may not be what I lack."
Wu Ming smiled.
"Prince Suwen is extremely alert and wise. When I saw him today, he was indeed so smart!"
Wei Jingtang glanced at Wu Ming blankly, then smiled bitterly.
"Sir is also a smart man!"
Wu Ming smiled.
"Hey, I do know that there is one more person in the envoy team, but I didn't expect that he is a descendant of the Lu family. This person's cultivation is completely useless and his legs are disabled. Even if the prince saves him, it will not help!"
Wei Jingtang sighed.
"It all depends on man!"
Wu Ming lowered his eyes slightly and said.
"Your Majesty is indeed a man of gentle temperament, and I admire him."
Wei Jingtang stood up slowly, holding the jade box, a little discouraged but not giving up, and said, "This treasure is called the Purple Bamboo Fruit. It is a treasure for body training. An ordinary warrior can refine one and condense his martial body!"
"Sir, since you have come prepared, you must know my nature, and... even if it is a body-building spiritual fruit produced in the purple bamboo forest of the South China Sea, this auction may not be without it!"
Wu Ming's eyes flashed slightly and he chuckled.
"Jingtang, I've told you a long time ago that this guy is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't let go of hawks. Why are you talking nonsense with him? Come play chess with me now!"
Wei Jingtang's mouth twitched slightly and he opened his mouth to speak, when Li Donghu's impatient shouting came from outside the hall.
Wu Ming smiled, Wu Fu was a bad chess player and couldn't handle this national chess player!
"In that case, I'll take my leave!"
Wei Jingtang reluctantly handed it over and left.
"What a King of Wu who can turn his hands to make clouds and turn his hands to make rain!"
Chu Chu, who had been sitting quietly, clapped her hands gently and said expressionlessly.
"Okay, little girl, why are you pretending to be here with me?"
Wu Ming said with a playful smile.
"The Nu family doesn't know what the King of Wu is talking about, but since the Nu family entered the palace, the King of Wu has been quite disrespectful of etiquette. Could it be that the virtuous king who was sympathetic to the peasants and whose poems were handed down from generation to generation doesn't even understand the principle of not seeing anything inappropriate?"
Chu Chu's beautiful pretty face said sternly.
"Haha, you don't know, right? When you were injured, I secretly measured your feet, tsk tsk, that's a waste..."
Wu Ming laughed heartily and pointed at Chu Chu's feet.
"What?"
Chu Chu instinctively shrank her feet. Seeing Wu Ming's expression, she immediately understood that she had been deceived. Her pretty face turned red and she pounced on him with all her teeth and claws.
"Aiya, girl, men and women can't kiss each other!"
Wu Ming pretended to be scared and evaded.
"Bah, you are a scumbag!"
Chu Chu stomped her feet fiercely, irritated.
Honglian on the side had already noticed that something was wrong, otherwise she would have stopped him immediately. She never expected that the relationship between the two would be so close.
"You can't blame me at that time. I had to do it out of necessity!"
Wu Ming spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Huh, tell me, my feet are more beautiful, or those of the exquisite goddess?"
Chu Chujiao hummed.
Honglian's eyes lit up, her pink earlobes trembled, and a kind of brilliance called Bagua flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"This...it was so dark and covered in mud that I couldn't see clearly at first. Why don't you take it off and let me take a good look?"
How could Wu Ming be fooled? He smiled evilly.
"you……"
Chu Chu stomped her feet angrily, knowing that she was no match for the talkers. She rolled her beautiful eyes, moved up to her charmingly, exhaled like a blue breath, "I heard that you are very majestic these days. Back then, you dared to tease the bottom line of Shaolin Temple. Baimai Lingji Wine
I gave it to the exquisite goddess without blinking an eye, why don’t you give me some more!”
After a few words, Hong Lian was shocked and numb. Wu Ming had never told these secrets.
"bawl!"
Wu Ming casually took out a jade bottle and handed it over.
"Humph, you still have some conscience, but I don't have any use for it anymore!"
Chu Chumei's eyes flashed slightly and she pushed back gently.
"Hey, you see, it's hard to be a good person these days. We can't even send out Longquan water!"
Wu Ming pretended to be helpless and said to Honglian.
"Giggle!"
The branches of the red lotus trembled with laughter.
"Looking at your stingy face, I mercifully accepted it!"
Chu Chu took a copy of it in her hand and put it into her arms happily. She didn't worry at all when she lifted her clothes, revealing an astonishing whiteness at her collarbone.
"Okay, let's get down to business. You didn't come to the capital just to catch up with me, right?"
After the laughter was over, Wu Ming sat down and said.
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. I do have something to ask of you, but unlike Li Jingye and Wei Jingtang, I am now incarnated in the Mid-Tang Dynasty envoy. To the outside world, I am the daughter of the head of the Chu family. I came to Songjing to kill someone."
Chu Chu said seriously.
"Girl, it's not that I don't want to help you, but it's different from the past. The capital has been under full martial law. The patrol department, patrol room and other yamen, as well as all the secret agents and spies are almost out in force. Even I can't leave the house now, and I'm being watched.
Deadly."
Wu Ming frowned slightly and said truthfully.
"You don't need to take action. Just helping to find out the information is enough. I am very interested in the little beggars you trained."
Chu Chu said seemingly casually.
Wu Ming's pupils shrank slightly, as if a bright light flashed away, and he nodded silently.
