Chapter 566: I Meet You Again During the Falling Flower Season
He Lingchuan turned around and saw that the man was handsome, but his words were not pleasant to the ear. His companion had big ears and bright eyes, and he pulled his sleeve at this time: "Hey."
What nonsense are you talking about.
The servant was indeed experienced, and his smile remained unchanged: "In addition to relying on eyesight, you also have to rely on luck. Playing with this display cabinet is really like panning for gold in the sand."
He Lingchuan walked along the display cabinets one by one, and the divine bone necklace suddenly burned him.
In this cabinet?
He was about to stop, but the soul-catching mirror in his arms suddenly reminded him:
"Someone has been watching you."
He Lingchuan was startled, but he continued to move forward, lowering his voice: "Who?"
"Standing next to the display cabinet behind you, the one wearing a green belt."
He Lingchuan was not stupid enough to turn around immediately.
"The other one is the servant." The mirror said, "Standing next to that display cabinet. He has been watching you since you approached these unknown strange objects."
He Lingchuan walked around, put his hands behind his back and slowly came back to visit.
What kind of eyesight does he have? With a glance, he looked at the two people indicated by the mirror.
The one with the green belt around his waist should have a cultivation base. When he saw He Lingchuan's eyes sweeping over him, he immediately turned his head and didn't look at him.
The servant next to the display cabinet smiled and didn't avoid He Lingchuan's eyes. At this time, a customer came forward to ask, and the servant explained to them, appearing quite professional.
"This cabinet was cleared out by an old seller in our Dunyuan. The price is quite affordable. Just treat it as a way to add to the fun of the sale and let everyone draw a lottery."
As soon as he opened his mouth, He Lingchuan stopped to listen.
This move was not abrupt, because many onlookers did the same.
The guy who complained about the low winning rate before also walked over and pointed to something in the cabinet and said:
"Take this and show it to me."
This is an object similar to a bull's horn, more than one and a half feet long, with a very sharp tip, which can be used as a weapon. As soon as the servant took it out, the divine bone necklace burned He Lingchuan twice.
Twice.
Is this what it wants?
He Lingchuan looked at it carefully and found that its surface had a tortoise-like luster, and the fracture was very uneven, as if it was forcibly broken.
Is it the horn of some creature? I can't tell.
But it is shiny and golden, and it is obviously well maintained, which is very different from the other objects in the display cabinet.
The complainer was asked to wear gloves before touching the long horn.
He looked at it over and over again, and murmured: "Not bad, it can be used."
His companion asked curiously: "Why do you want this?"
"I just need a horn." The complainer looked at the starting price, "Look, the price is not expensive, only three taels of silver. When will it be sold?"
The servant smiled: "Two quarters of an hour later, Tianyu Tower, numbered as lot 1,111."
He glanced at He Lingchuan casually.
Why do you feel that this guy is talking to him? He Lingchuan touched his nose.
The companion shook his head: "You don't need three coins to buy a cow horn outside, right?"
"This is an unknown wonder." The complainer laughed, "What if I make a profit?"
He Lingchuan left after hearing this.
Since someone was watching, no matter what the divine bone necklace wanted, he would not stay any longer.
Occasionally turning around, the soul-catching mirror told him:
"The two stopped by the display cabinet and didn't follow."
Are they not here to watch him, but to guard the cabinet?
He Lingchuan shook his head and didn't understand.
Now he had to do what Li Qingge asked.
Passing by a balcony, he realized that Dunyuan also prepared exquisite masks for guests, some covering half of the face and some covering the whole face, and they could use them by themselves.
Some VIPs took pictures of things but didn't want others to know. Masks can solve worries.
He Lingchuan took a gold-thread half-face mask as a backup, and then entered the second west wing.
The items on display here are all weapons and armors, some of which are shining with precious light, and their quality is not inferior to his Tenglong spear.
There are also more than a dozen dragon-headed swords in the booth, with their sources marked respectively, and they should all be made by famous artists. Some are inlaid with gold and jade, which are much more exquisite than his Fu Sheng.
Seeing them, He Lingchuan also understood why Fu Shanyue did not doubt the dragon-headed sword he was wearing after seeing the second scene of the illusion in the ruins of Qianxing City.
The dragon head and the 睚禦 are the most common knife decorations.
The most exaggerated here is a set of mountain-patterned golden armor. Each "mountain"-shaped gold piece is polished and shining, which can blind people from a long distance. He Lingchuan has read the description of this set of treasure armor. It is inlaid with shark silk and decorated with jade beads, giant clams, jade beads and other formations. It has special effects such as light body, clean, strong, and water and fire invulnerable.
In other words, it has an automatic cleaning function and does not need to be washed after wearing it several times.
Such a luxurious armor is certainly not used for war. It can blind He Lingchuan's eyes from such a distance, so it can naturally illuminate the enemy's eyes on the battlefield, and whoever wears it will be a shining target.
So it is a set of ceremonial armor, that is, it is worn during court ceremonies, military parades, and review of classics to show the owner's majesty.
This golden effect reminded He Lingchuan of the night-lighting spirit deer ridden by Bai Ziqi.
The more celebrities and nobles gather in a place, the more they pursue luxury and splendor in food, accommodation, and transportation. He Lingchuan looked at the price, well, he really couldn't afford it.
He turned his head again and saw the task assigned by the Lord of Songyang Mansion.
Li Qingge reminded him that this was an acquaintance, and He Lingchuan did not lose his composure, but he was still shocked in his heart.
Yes, this is an acquaintance, an acquaintance from the battlefield——
New Year's greetings!
He Lingchuan never expected that he would meet Yuan Kingdom's former Peking University general and Xunzhou Mu here.
After more than half a year, Nian Zanli looks thinner, with higher cheekbones and a somewhat gloomy look. He browsed the lots alone, followed only by a guard.
He Lingchuan remembered the unexpected ending of the Hanhe War, which seemed to have hit him hard.
At this time, several nobles passed by in the wing room, all of them cheering in front and supporting each other. Nian Zanli smiled and greeted them, but they just nodded and didn't even give him a look.
He seemed to be used to the New Year's greetings. He was neither sullen nor annoyed. He just turned his head and continued to look at the exhibits.
He Lingchuan felt out of place just by looking at his back.
It seems that General Zhengbei is not doing well in Lingxu City. I remember that at the beginning, he sent his son Nian Songyu to accompany Sun Fuping to Heishui City, and he showed off his power and prestige in front of He Chunhua and his son, but now he is so lonely in a foreign land.
Time has passed and circumstances have changed, which can be lamented and lamented.
Yes, he surrendered to the Bejia Kingdom on his own initiative, not actively recruited by Lingxu City. Although he reported victory in the end, his elite troops had been decimated in the Battle of Hanhe River.
How can a surrendered general who has no elite troops under his command be able to get the talented Bega to look up to him?
Speaking of which, Li Qingge actually wanted to get close to this person by himself?
He Lingchuan thought for a moment, and seeing that Nian Zanli was looking at a set of double knives, as if he was in a trance, he leaned over and said: "This knife pursues the beauty of the shape, and is thick and thin, so it is not easy to use."
The blade was polished as bright as autumn water, the handle was gold-plated, and three turquoise stones were embedded in it. The shape of the knife looked perfect at first glance, but in the eyes of experienced hands like He Lingchuan, it was too thin in at least three places and could easily break when cutting hard bones.
It's not appropriate to behead someone with this knife.
Nian Zanli glanced at him and nodded:
"It's so flashy that it's a joke on the battlefield."
He Lingchuan smiled and said: "If Dunyuan only sells this kind of stuff, I will be really disappointed."
This sentence highlighted the word "I", and Nian Zanli asked as expected: "Who is your Excellency?"
"My name is He Xiao, staff officer to Prince Chiyan."
Nian Zanli said smoothly: "Young man is successful, not bad."
He had never heard of "He Xiao", but since Chi Yan had just established the crown prince, he knew about it. The young man in front of him could be seventeen or eighteen years old at most, and he would be a counselor in the Prince's Mansion of the Demon Kingdom, with a promising future.
He Lingchuan also asked back: "Who are you?"
"My surname is Nian, Xunzhou Mu." Nian Zanli looked at him again and suddenly said, "You look familiar. Have we met somewhere?"
Of course I have.
Heavy rain in Hanhe River, enemies of life and death.
But He Lingchuan didn't panic at all, he just smiled and said: "This is the first time I see the general."
Counting this time, it was only the second time that he and Nian Zanli met. It was a rainy night with no daylight when we first saw him. It was dark everywhere, tens of thousands of people were fighting on the battlefield, and his face was either mud or blood. How could Nian Zanli see his face clearly in this environment?
Now that he can say "somewhat familiar", he has improved eyesight.
Sure enough, Nian Zanli nodded and said with a pleasant look to the murderer: "Maybe I got it wrong."
At this time, Fu Shanyue happened to be walking over from the back hall. When he looked up and saw He Lingchuan, he said, "Why are you here?"
He Lingchuan immediately introduced Nian Zanli to him: "This is Xunzhou Mu, General Nian."
Xunzhou was the place where he had recently surrendered. Fu Shanyue didn't remember the background of this Xunzhou shepherd for a moment, so he bowed his head to him as a salute.
He Lingchuan introduced Fu Shanyue to Nian Zanli again.
Nian Zanli heard that the person in front of him was Prince Chiyan, and his attitude became serious.
He Lingchuan then answered Fu Shanyue's previous question: "I want to find a suitable set of inner armor. The original one was broken when I fought against brothers Fan Sheng and Fan Bao."
"Did you find it?"
He Lingchuan shook his head: "I have seen a few sets, they are too gorgeous."
He doesn't mind if it looks gorgeous, but the price is so gorgeous...
Fu Shanyue smiled and said: "The things in Dunyuan always have this tone."
Nian Zanli's eyes moved slightly when he heard this: "The Fan Sheng you are talking about is... the deputy commander of Tongxin Guards?"
"Yes, does General Nian recognize him?"
Nian nodded in praise: "I just met him two days ago."
Fu Shanyue couldn't help but laugh: "Have the scars on his face fallen off?"
"Uh... I'm basically healed." There were just patches of red and white on his face, and his skin tone was a bit uneven.
Fu Shanyue pointed at He Lingchuan and said: "Fan Sheng and Fan violently attacked him, but failed once. Fan Sheng tried a second time, but he was caught face down in the water. The scars on his face are all from food." A wound caused by a mermaid’s bite.”
Nian Zanli was moved and looked at He Lingchuan with a somewhat surprised look:
"Brother He, isn't he a staff officer? How could he defeat Commander Fan? He's a formidable young man."
