Chapter 99 Mysterious Invitation

"Bang Bang..." The sound of knocking on the door sounded inappropriately, and Xia Ruoyan wiped away the tears and said, "Come in."

A slave said, "Master invited Miss Xia and Mr. Xiao to meet in the living room."

"I see. You can go down and be there in a moment."

Xia Ruoyan looked at Xiao Ran and said, "Did you hurt young master Meng?"

Xiao Ran said lightly, "This is his own fault, and it's not my fault. This is called stealing chickens and rice.

Xia Ruoyan said andly, "Others don't know, can't I see it? However, Master Meng didn't dare to do anything to Brother Xiao.

In the scene outside just now, anyone could see that the relationship between Xiao Ran and Xia Ruoyan was unusual. Although the official position of the county guard was not small, it was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Xia family. In the living room, Master Meng is waiting anxiously for the two. Doesn't he know what his son is like to be a father? If you can't handle it well, you can't keep the black gauze hat on your head.

Xiao Ran and Xia Ruoyan slowly stepped into the living room: "Master Meng."

Master Meng hurriedly got up to greet him: "Miss Xia, Mr. Xiao, please sit down."

"I'm sorry to bother you these days. You're welcome, Mr. Meng." No matter what the occasion, everyone is a boudoir and famous. The etiquette still needs to be done.

"Dogs are popular and stubborn. I hope Mr. Xiao will not be blamed." Master Meng didn't defend anything. I will make amends as soon as I come up. This straightforwardness makes Xiao Ran admire a little. He is worthy of being a county guard, and he can really stand it. If he is a person without *, I'm afraid that Master Meng will have another face.

Xiao Ran said, "Master Meng is serious. How could Xiao conflict with Master Meng? It's all a misunderstanding."

They are all smart people, and they will take the opportunity to take a step. He said, "Yes, a misunderstanding. I asked the cook to prepare wine and dishes to suppress the shock of Mr. Xiao. I hope Mr. Xiao will not shirk it.

"This...in the words of Master Meng, go to the banquet on time."

The two strolled in the restoration, and it was not so easy for me. Just waiting for the dragon event in more than ten days. With a swh, a hidden weapon came from the night sky. Xiao Ran avoided sideways. With a muffled sound, a letter** entered the roof of the house. The visitor disappeared in an instant.

The people came without malice, and Xiao Ran did not chase them. If you can shoot a paper letter into the wood, this person's martial arts skills should not be weak. Xia Ruoyan took out the letter and said, "The owner of this letter is really rich, using gold powder to make ink."

Tore open the letter, and the two browsed with the help of the moonlight, their faces were a little strange. Underground trade fair? Black market?" These two words appeared in Xiao Ran's mind. How can a man in black send invitations to himself and Yaner? Xia Ruoyan shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of this matter either. Let's ask the two masters."

Xiao Ran nodded and secretly calculated something. Zhu Tianqi read the letter, and then stared at Xiao Ran, which was quite incredible. Xia Ruoyan wondered, "Second Master, is this?"

Zhu Tianqi said, "We also received this post when we were young, but we didn't expect Xiao Ran to receive it. It seems that you are also on the list of Tianji.

Xiao Ran was confused: "Can you please make it clear what the sky list is?"

Zhu Tianqi said, "I don't know about the Tianji List. You should have heard of Tianji Palace. Tianji Palace is the largest intelligence collection organization in the world, and its secret agents are all over the world. Prostitute. Women, eunuchs, cargomen, officials, handymen, boatmen... There are spies of Tianji Palace in any industry you know. Tianji List is the general name of various rankings sorted out by the information obtained by Tianji Palace. No one doubts the authority. Every three years, a pamphlet is published, which lists outstanding people during this period. There are: hidden dragon list, weapon list, wealth list, power list, stunning list... Each category only takes the top 50 records. It is hard to find a lot of money in each volume. As for what is mentioned in this letter, there is another inside story.

Qiu Li took your head and added: "This post is also a little special. It can be said that it is sent every ten years, just like the Longteng event. The people who receive the invitation are at least on the list. However, these secrets are limited to a few martial arts people. Ordinary people are not qualified to know. Those of us who used to whisper will also come every year. I wanted to take you to see it for a few days, but I didn't expect the invitation to arrive first.

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. This is true. Xiao Ranruo said thoughtfully, "So Yan'er and I are on this list. What the hell is that?

Zhu Tianqi smiled and said, "There must be no problem with you on the Qianlong list. As for the other lists, it is unknown. Yan'er's appearance is naturally a stunning list. Do you know why this transaction is once every ten years?

Xia Ruoyan said, "Is it because only the Longteng Event can gather so many people?"

Qiu Li said, "This is just one of them, and on the other hand, the items traded are too difficult to find. It can barely be held once in ten years. Speaking of this, even Qiu Li's indifferent expression was a little moved. Xia Ruoyan said, "What's the deal?"

Zhu Tianqi said with some yearning: "The items traded are strange, and there are all the things you can't think of. Peerless soldiers, panacea, rare treasures, beautiful women, martial arts secrets of various schools, treasure maps... Hey hey hey, do you think it's a holy place? As long as you can afford it, it's yours."

Xiao Ran's heart was surging when he heard the words. What kind of place is the cover? If I don't have the strength now, I'm afraid I don't know. A proud look appeared on Zhu Tianqi's face and said, "I thought I was connected to the invitation, but I couldn't sleep for several nights."

"Isn't the court prohibit it?"

Zhu Tianqi said, "If the court wants to ban it, it will also see if it has the courage to offend so many people. These martial arts masters are not fuel-efficient lamps. And there are many outlaws among them. Even those officials will secretly attend. The underground trade fair gathered three schools and nine-class figures to buy old books on time, and the leaders of the six major factions did not dare to put on airs.

Xiao Ran thought and said, "According to the predecessors, this underground trade fair should attract many people to come. Of course, the pace is extremely vicious. How to ensure the safety of buyers and sellers? Since ancient times, there has been no leakage of money. Of course, you will take a large half of your family to the fair, and it's not good to be targeted. It is common for people to kill people in the world.

Qiu Li nodded with approval: "The venues are arranged in advance, according to previous experience. According to A, B, C, Ding, Wuji Gengxin... Twelve entrances have been set up for twelve days. When entering the field, you will be required to wear a mask. A disciple of Tianji Palace agreed to lead the entry. Any form of private fighting is prohibited on the field. As soon as it was found, he was immediately expelled from the court. Not to mention ordinary masters, even innate masters dare not violate it.

"In this way, the strength of the machine palace is not much stronger than that of the six major schools and the three major schools of magic. Why is no one thinking about it?"

Zhu Tianqi said, "Because the first rule of Tianji Palace is not to investigate the gang forces in the martial arts, which has been the same since the pre-Qin Dynasty." Since the pre-Qin period, the strength of many years of accumulation can be imagined, and how many dynasties have witnessed the rise and fall.

Zhu Tianqi said: "I remind you in advance that there is no cashier in this trade fair. In addition to gold tickets, barter is also a very common way. After all, some things can't be measured by money.

"What about barter?" Xiao Ran was stunned. This is a rare way.

"Yes, as long as the two sides of the transaction feel reasonable, they can trade." This is a bit like the underground transaction of the black market, but it is hosted by a mysterious organization such as Tianji Palace. The strict rules are also rare, and the people who go there are also flocking to it.

Xia Ruoyan said, "Seeing that the two need to prepare well, no wonder they have to issue invitations ten days in advance." Even so, it seems that it is too late. Ordinary items can't be found on the table at all. Where can I find them for a while?

Qiu Li said, "Mr. Yan, there are still a few things here. You take it first." Kunlun's second old man has known about this for a long time, and he has also searched for some good things during the past ten years.

Xia Ruoyan said, "I don't care much about the smoke, but Brother Xiao..."

Xiao Ran interrupted and said, "Mr. Yan, I believe in Brother Xiao."

"But time..." Xia Ruoyan finally nodded.

Xiao Ran said to himself, "What others can't do doesn't mean I can't do it. Ten days, although the time is a little tight, it should be enough.
