Chapter 29 Gray Knife
As time passed, the dark night began to fall.
Outside Lu Mansion, as time passed, a carriage gradually stopped in front of the door.
"Mr. Chen, please take a seat."
In front of the carriage, a middle-aged man wearing black leather armor who looked like a guard led several guards and stood around the carriage. He looked at Chen Ming and said with his hands.
"What should I call this strong man?"
Looking at the middle-aged man dressed as a guard in front of him, Chen Ming asked politely with a smile on his face.
"My lord, Su Ming, please just call me Su San."
"It turns out to be Brother Su." Chen Ming smiled and nodded, then winked at the butler beside him.
Beside him, the old housekeeper understood, and immediately came forward with a few small bags, and stuffed them into the hands of the guards: "We have a few heroes who have come a long way to work hard, so we just want to get some food."
"Sir..." Su Ming was a little surprised.
"It's a little tiring work in the middle of the night, but please don't refuse."
Chen Ming smiled and said this.
"In that case, I would like to thank you, sir." He held the weight in his hands, turned around and looked at the smiles on the faces of the guards around him. Su Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally said with a smile.
Looking at Su Ming's performance, Chen Ming also smiled and got on the carriage without saying anything else.
He did not bring extra guards, not because he had much trust in this group of people, but because he was confident in his own strength.
With this strength, even if these people in front of him had evil intentions, he would still have the confidence to kill them all with one blow.
Su Ming didn't think much about it. Seeing that Chen Ming was on his way alone and had just received gifts from others, he couldn't help but act more serious at this moment. He looked around from time to time, looking very dedicated.
Soon, as time passed, a small town was visible in the distance.
The town is located in the north of Longshui County. The whole place seems very remote, but the layout is very exquisite and luxurious, and the whole place looks like a prosperous town.
Accompanied by Su Ming, Chen Ming put on a heavy bamboo hat and walked directly inside.
Soon, he walked to a luxurious hall, where many people were already sitting.
"Is this the place Gu Guanshi said?"
When he walked into this moment, he was faced with a cold air, which made Chen Ming frown.
"Yes." Su Ming on the side replied: "This is a famous auction house nearby. There are often some weird and wonderful things put up for auction. It is considered a reliable place around here."
"What's reliable..." Chen Ming said with interest, "So there's something unreliable?"
"Of course." Su Ming whispered, his voice deliberately kept low: "Many stalls around here sell illegal goods. The origins of the items inside are unknown, and there are even a lot of contraband."
"Then I would like to see it."
Chen Ming said with interest, and then looked in front of him.
The hall in front of me looks very spacious, with many seats in it, but most of them are still empty at the moment. There are only a few people sitting here, quietly waiting for the auction to start.
"Sir, Steward Gu has prepared a private room for you here. Do you want to go in first and have a seat?"
Standing aside, watching Chen Ming's eyes constantly looking forward, Su Ming spoke at the right time.
"How long until the auction starts?" Chen Ming asked, looking at the sparse figures in front of him.
"There's about an hour left." Su Ming lowered his head and thought for a moment before finally saying.
"That's still early." Chen Ming thought for a while and said, "Let's go out and take a look first."
"Yes." Su Ming naturally would not refuse Chen Ming's request and nodded directly.
After the words fell, they immediately turned around and walked out.
After a while, they walked to an empty square.
Compared with the thin number of people in the hall before, the scene here is much more lively. Insiders are walking around one after another, but most of them are wearing bamboo hats to hide their figures.
Chen Ming walked here quietly.
There are many stalls in front of you, selling many strange and weird things, including normal gold and silver jewelry, as well as some weapons and the like.
The quality of most of the things displayed here is pretty good, and they are all good and good things outside, but they are everywhere here, but there is obviously something wrong with their origin.
For example, some of the finest jade in front of Chen Ming even had some blood on it that had not been completely washed away. At first glance, it seemed that it was not something that could be obtained through normal means.
"Guests should check it out. The price is very affordable for good quality heather jade."
Seeing Chen Ming's gaze, the owner of the stall in front of him, a fat boss who looked very kind, smiled at Chen Ming and treated him like a customer.
"No need, I have no interest in jade."
Chen Ming smiled, and after saying this, he continued to walk forward.
Beside him, seeing Chen Ming leave, the fat boss didn't say anything. He just continued to sit where he was and kept soliciting customers from passers-by.
In this large square, Chen Ming and the two continued to walk forward.
Along the way, Chen Ming saw many weird and weird things.
There are fine weapons, various luxurious jewelry, and some antiques and collectibles that are said to have been passed down for a long time.
Even at a stall in the middle, Chen Ming saw contraband items such as bows and crossbows being sold openly and openly.
However, what disappoints Chen Ming is that there are very few martial arts secrets displayed in this place. Even if there are some, they are only some basic martial arts, which can only be said to have some reference value.
After shopping for half an hour, Chen Ming counted the time and found that he was preparing to return to attend the auction that was about to begin.
"Huh?"
A vague throbbing feeling suddenly occurred, which made Chen Ming stunned. He couldn't help but stop and look in a certain direction in the distance.
In a corner at the back, there was a stall quietly set up there with many swords on it. It looked like a place selling weapons.
At this moment, a faint throbbing feeling was coming from there, originating from a long black gold knife on Chen Ming's body.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It seemed that he felt something. On Chen Ming's body, Ying Wangbing was trembling slightly, and a faint throbbing feeling continued to come from the blade.
There seemed to be a faint excitement spreading inside, which was accurately captured by Chen Ming.
Feeling this throbbing, Chen Ming thought thoughtfully, then took steps towards there.
As he walked in, the vague throbbing feeling in Chen Ming's body was getting stronger and stronger, causing Chen Ming to subconsciously lower his head and look at a corner of the stall.
In the corner of the stall, a long gray knife that looked very old was lying there quietly. At this moment, there was an inexplicable attraction on the knife, which instantly attracted Chen Ming's attention.
"What does this guest need?"
The owner of the stall is an old man who seems to be quite energetic. He is wearing gray clothes at the moment and his face looks a bit cold.
Looking at Chen Ming and Chen Ming standing at the stall, he said this.
"How do you sell these knives?" Chen Ming asked, looking at the weapons laid out in front of him.
Looking at Chen Ming lightly, the old man said: "A handful of twenty taels of silver will not be paid on credit."
"Twenty taels of silver."
Hearing the price, Chen Ming said nothing, but looked at Su Ming aside.
"It's fair." After briefly looking at the weapons on the ground, Su Ming nodded: "Although they are a bit old, they are all good weapons and should be fairly easy to use."
"Then let me pick a few." Chen Min said with great interest, and then picked out two of the weapons in front of him that looked pretty good, so he picked them up and tried them out.
Until finally, he thought about it, pretended to be casual, and reached for the long gray knife.
