Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 73 72 Murong's running dog, good horse and good saddle

Li Cunxiao never expected that he would be urged to get married by his peers, and he quickly shook his head when he heard it.

Are you kidding? The country is in chaos now and a war might break out any day. It will be very inconvenient to get married and have children.

But if there was only a wooden fork, I could just pick up my brother and run away, which would be much more convenient.

"Junior brother, I am devoted to martial arts and it is time for me to make great progress. We can discuss marriage after I turn twenty and come of age."

Zhang Yuelu nodded when she heard this and said nothing more. However, Li Cunxiao didn't know that she was secretly relieved.

A girl of nineteen was already quite old, and Zhang Lishi and his wife had mentioned several times, both openly and secretly, that they wanted to choose a husband for her.

It was a small shopping party, but Mrs. Zhang specifically asked her to bring Li Cunxiao along, which immediately aroused Zhang Yuelu's vigilance.

To be honest, she didn't have a bad impression of Li Cunxiao and didn't care that much about his appearance.

However, Zhang Lishi often sighed about not having a child, so Zhang Yuelu had a competitive spirit.

Whether she was practicing martial arts or studying, she tried her best to do everything. On the contrary, she never touched needlework.

Over the years, it had become a habit. Suddenly being asked to get married, even with the slightest hint of it, made her uncomfortable.

Who says women have to get married?

Once married, one has to take care of children and household affairs, leaving one with no time to spare, let alone practice martial arts.

Zhang Yuelu also has a pursuit in martial arts. She has worked hard for many years. Is she going to give up just to get married?
"Fortunately, Junior Brother Li is not interested in matters of the sexes. Otherwise, given how much my father values ​​him, it would be difficult for him not to get married."

The two of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts and spoke less until the selling meeting began, accompanied by rounds of bidding, and then they returned to normal.

".2300 taels once, 2300 taels twice, 2300 taels three times!"

"Zheng Family Lanfang Waterside Pavilion was purchased by Young Master Han Yu!"

On the high platform, the manager of the Chamber of Commerce who was in charge of the sale sang cheers one after another. The veil of a side room in the venue was pulled open, and a young man in his thirties was standing there with his hands clasped in front of him, his face flushed.

"Two thousand three hundred taels of silver"

Li Cunxiao originally thought that having a thousand taels of silver in his hand was considered wealthy, but only now did he realize what it meant to spend money like water.

The house he owned on Qinghe Street had five rooms and five courtyards, and cost about seven or eight hundred taels.

Ordinary families cannot afford to buy a house in Chuqiu City and can only spend more than ten or twenty taels of silver to rent a house.

If the family is more affluent and the businessman is engaged in business, he can spend a few hundred taels of silver to buy a two-story street-facing shop and residence on Qinghe Street.

Further on, there are houses like the Zheng family, which have five front doors, seven courtyards, and thirty-five rooms.

There are countless pavilions, towers, waterside gardens, rockery and ponds. Just cleaning them every day would take dozens of servants an hour or so.

Mr. He’s own house was not to this extent, but it was more exquisitely decorated than Li Cunxiao’s.

"That's one of the four families. The third son of the Han family, Han Yu, is a disciple of Li Taizhi at the King Kong Martial Arts School."

Zhang Yuelu followed Li Cunxiao's gaze and spoke with a rather disdainful tone.

"Senior Sister seems to look down on this person?"

"The headmaster of the King Kong Martial Arts School, Li Taizhi, originally learned his martial arts from the Murong family."

"There are countless martial arts schools in the inner city. What do you think Han Yu wants to do by becoming a disciple of the King Kong Martial Arts School?"

Li Cunxiao immediately understood.

As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. Zhang Lishi and Murong Bai are known as two heroes, and the relationship between the two and their forces is naturally not harmonious.

In fact, on the day of his housewarming party, Cui Yao complained to him, saying that the Han family was blind and had interfered with his business.

Later, of course, the Han family sent someone to apologize, but after hearing what Zhang Yuelu said today, Li Cunxiao couldn't help but be careful.

The four families in the inner city are Jiang, Shen, Han and Yang. The Han family stands on Murong's side, the Yang family stands on Ye's side, and the Jiang family and the Shen family are jumping left and right.

He not only flirts with the escort agency, but also has ambiguous relationships with the three above.

However, among the three families, the Xiao family was secretly allied with the Murong family. So, in this way, the Murong family accounted for half of the so-called "Seven Family Alliance".

What's more, he has controlled the county government for many years and controls the demon meat fields, making him the most powerful.

"Murong Bai has great ambitions. If he becomes a detached ruler in the future, if the escort agency doesn't cooperate with him, I'm afraid it will be a life-and-death struggle."

Li Cunxiao knew Zhang Lishi's temper well, and he was definitely not someone who would be willing to be inferior to others.

I just hope that the Migu Yuhua can help him break through. If Zhang Lishi can break through the fourth level, then he will be safe whether he dominates Chuqiu or moves to the provincial capital.

".Next item, a gilded bronze saddle with a dragon pattern!"

The sound from the high platform attracted Li Cunxiao's attention. He saw a servant holding a lacquer table and slowly walking past the windows in front of each box.

"This saddle was used by Zheng Guishou, the head of the Zheng family. It is made of fine materials and has exquisite workmanship."

"Especially this dragon-patterned decoration, which has always been used by the royal family. Ahem, to be honest, if you used it privately in the past, you would be beheaded."

Hearing the exaggerated tone of the Chamber of Commerce leader, all the guests laughed.

Now everyone knows that the person sitting on the dragon throne is a three-year-old child.

If you can’t even control your urine, how can you control the people of the world?

Who cares about those bans!
When the saddle passed by the window, Li Cunxiao also lifted the gauze curtain to take a look, and his hand, which was about to put it down, slowed down.

Seeing this, the servant very sensibly slowed down his pace to allow the guest to see more clearly.

This saddle is made of wood and decorated with flowing cloud and dragon patterns. The front and rear saddle bridges are engraved with hollow curling grass and gold leaf patterns.

In the middle is a Mani fire bead inlaid with turquoise.

The curling grass pattern is interspersed with auspicious cloud patterns, the bottom is set off by sea and river cliff patterns, and the frame is decorated with linked bead patterns.

The saddle bridge is fixed with a gold hoop and the saddle seat is covered with red passionflower brocade.

There are also iron stirrups next to the saddle, and the top of the stirrups is decorated with a silver-engraved hollow dragon head.

I have to say, heroes ride BMWs, and BMWs are equipped with good saddles. This is the same as those car enthusiasts in their previous life who put a lot of thought into decorating their cars.

Li Cunxiao wasn't someone who cared little for fame and fortune, nor did he reject the pleasures of life; he simply focused on his training. Recently, he had some money, and when he saw this saddle, he immediately imagined the effect of equipping Chili with it, and his heart was moved.

Therefore, when the bidding began on the stage, he immediately asked the servants waiting outside to follow.

"Gilded bronze saddle with dragon pattern, starting price: 10 taels."

"Guest of Jiachen Room, bid thirty taels!"

Jiachen Room was the room where Li Cunxiao was staying, and this information was not a secret to the invited guests.

After all, the county government has already internalized valuable resources such as martial arts and demon meat, so things that appear here will not cause everyone to hide.

So when Li Cunxiao, who had been silent all the time, spoke up to bid, most of the people present wanted to do him a favor, and no one spoke for a while.

The person in charge of the auction couldn't help but sigh secretly, but still had a smile on his face.

"Gilded bronze saddle with a dragon pattern, thirty taels per session."

"The guest in the Yichou room bids thirty-one taels!"

A shout of price broke the silence. Li Cunxiao looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Han Yu in the Yichou room.

"The guest of Jiachen Room bids forty taels!"

Another bid was called out, and the man from the Yichou room immediately followed.

"The guest in the Yichou room bids forty-one taels!"

Are you looking for trouble with me?

Li Cunxiao narrowed his eyes.

"Guest of Jiachen Room, bid fifty taels!"

As the auctioneer watched the price rise, the smile on his face faded.

The warriors who came here were all well-known figures in the city.

One is a direct disciple of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency, and the other is the Han family in the inner city. What will happen if a fight breaks out?

"The guest in the Yichou room bids fifty-one taels!"

Li Cunxiao didn't want to bid anymore.

His money was not washed away by the flood. No matter how exquisitely crafted this saddle was, it was just a tool, worth at most sixty or seventy taels.

Han Yu clearly wanted to challenge him, but he would not give in to his wish.

But you don’t have to give up the saddle, Han Yu must take care of it.

Li Cunxiao's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He was secretly thinking of a reason to play a trick on someone when Zhang Yuelu beside him suddenly spoke:
"Come here, bid your price. I'll offer one hundred taels."

"Sister?"

Li Cunxiao looked stunned, but Zhang Yuelu just smiled.

"Junior brother, you have just moved into a new house and have a lot of expenses. Father is already planning to transfer a few shops to your name."

"But now, let Senior Sister give you a gift."

The fierce light in his eyes faded, and Li Cunxiao felt extremely relieved.

It feels good to have someone backing you up.

"Guest of Jiachen Room, offer one hundred taels!"

As soon as the price was announced, the young men from various families who were waiting to watch the fun became even more excited, and their burning gazes were all directed towards the Yichou room.

Although there was a gauze curtain between them, Han Yu seemed to be able to feel those gazes.

He had no hatred against Li Cunxiao, but the story of Zhang Lishi taking away Murong Bo's treasured Pegasus on the day of the autumn hunt is still talked about today.

Li Cunxiao rode a red horse back and forth in the city, which aroused envy but also made the supporters of the Murong family feel ashamed.

As a younger brother, how can I share the worries for the boss?

If we fight, it's easy if we win, but we lose face if we lose.

If I do nothing, the Murong family will inevitably be dissatisfied.

It just so happened that the news that the eldest son Murong Bo was about to make a comeback had reached his ears. When Li Cunxiao made the bid just now, Han Yu suddenly had an idea:
When buying and selling things, the highest bidder wins.

A small victory here would not only allow him to vent his anger, but also avoid offending Li Cunxiao too much.

Wait until Murong Bo comes out of seclusion and then offer the saddle. Then mention the auction. Wouldn't it seem more thoughtful?

Even if it fails, it will at least disgust the people at the Flying Tiger Escort Agency!
"The guest in the Yichou room bids one hundred and one taels!"

Han Yu made his bid and leisurely reclined in the armchair, imagining the two people in Jiachen's room, their faces raging with rage, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Guest from the Bingwu Room bids one hundred and two taels!"

who? !

Han Yu frowned and waved his hand, and the servant beside him immediately gave a quote.

"The guest in the Yichou room bids one hundred and ten taels!"

"Guest from the Bingwu Room bids one hundred and eleven taels!"

Zhang Yuelu was originally quite unhappy about Han Yu's price increase and was ready to argue.

Unexpectedly, a Bingwu room suddenly appeared, and I heard the two parties outside bidding against each other, and soon the price reached five hundred taels.

The price was far beyond the saddle's value. Han Yu saw that there was nothing he could do and had to give up. The customer from Bingwufang finally won the saddle.

Li Cunxiao suddenly became curious. Who would interfere when the Feihu Escort Agency and the Han family were fighting?
The mystery was soon solved.

"Junior Brother Li," Jiang Qi walked into the side room with a smile on his face, and a servant behind him was holding the gilded saddle.

"I heard you moved into a new house. I wonder if you like this gift, Junior Brother?"
