Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

"Either don't give it away, or you should order someone to bring thirty pieces of rough stones from that boat and let His Royal Highness choose at will! By the way, let us all open our eyes!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone except the Xiong family agreed and echoed:

"That's right, the Xiong's family has opened a stone gambling workshop in the capital for so many years, and they are almost becoming wealthy. The Great Elder must not be so stingy and smash the signboard of the Xiong's family!"

"Hurry up and bring the best goods here for us to see.

"The most expensive item on the deck, I can afford it even if I bite my teeth. It's a bit out of place to give it to His Royal Highness as a congratulatory gift!"

"Grand Elder, I remember that you are not a stingy person in normal times, are you?"

There is a lot of discussion among the people, and many people are unobstructed

It can be seen from this that Xiong Hui's reputation in the Jianghu is indeed good, at least he is not a bully, and he can take jokes.

Hearing everyone's discussion, Xiong Hui couldn't help but smile wryly.

The [-] items on the deck are not ordinary items, especially one of the treasures carefully selected by himself. Based on his many years of experience, it is not difficult to see that the value of the piece of jade inside is definitely not inferior. Three thousand gold, even in the stone gambling workshop in the capital, is considered top grade.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to personally guide Jiang Qingyu to open that piece of rough stone in full view. Once the jade material is exposed to the public, everyone will surely praise this His Royal Highness who has a bright eye!

And Jiang Qingyu won face in front of others, so she will naturally have a good impression of the Xiong family.

Xiong Hui has long been familiar with this trick, and it is also one of the tacit ways in the stone gambling circle in Beijing.

For most of the children of the rich and powerful, there are two or more banks in the family, and they can spend their entire lives squandering, so they come to gamble on Shifang not to earn pocket money, but to save face!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the sky-high price of jade was offered, listening to the envious and jealous voices of others, under the adoring eyes of the accompanying beauty, or giving the jade to the beauty so as to gain a chance to kiss her, or giving it as a gift.

.

The students of Jixia Academy earn favors and prestige, which are hard to buy in other places no matter how much money you spend!

It is also one of the reasons why Gambling Stone Workshop has been enduring in the capital for a long time!

But today, without the company of the beauty Leng Weiwei, Xiong Hui's plan has lost more than half of the fun. Coupled with Liang's injustice, it seems that he is petty of the Xiong family and does not respect Jiang enough. sapphire.

"It's not me being mean."

Xiong Hui hurriedly explained:

"That ship of rough stones was ordered by the royal family, and the old man is not qualified to move!"

"However, speaking of it, this ship's original stone has a certain relationship with His Royal Highness."

"Is it?'

A look of curiosity appeared on Jiang Qingyu's face.

What does the rough stone of the royal family have to do with me?

Xiong Hui smiled:

"His Royal Highness, have you forgotten that there is another hero who conquered Beidi this time, the daughter Luo, the third landlord of Huamanlou, beheaded and killed the only two surviving ancestors in Beidi, His Majesty has decided to make her king!"

"According to the rules, every prince of Chu should have a royal seal."

"In order to show sincerity, His Majesty bought two shipments of top-quality rough stones from my Xiong's house, and ordered His Highness the Crown Prince to cut the stones himself, choose a piece of jade to carve it into a king's seal, and give it to the third landlord!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was amazed:

"Choose a piece of jade from the two ships of top-quality rough stones to make the king's seal? What a great work!"

"As expected of a rich and powerful royal family!

"It's no wonder the Great Elder did not hesitate to spend a lot of gold, silver and favors to drag our group of people onto the boat to escort them together. It turns out that the royal family and Huamanlou are related to the two behemoths behind this batch of goods!"

"The matter is of great importance, and this batch of goods cannot be lost, so I have no choice but to invite you to accompany me."

A wry smile appeared on Xiong Hui's old face, but there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes:

"To tell you the truth, in order to fill up these two ships, our Xiong family has exhausted all the top-quality rough stones in the past ten years.

"The old man dares to guarantee his character, this batch of goods will definitely produce a priceless jade material!

"Worthless?"

Jin Shan of the Spirit Sword Sect couldn't help asking:

"I've never done much research on jade, but a few years ago I heard that King Jubei borrowed from King Qingjiang the Jade Seal of the Former Dynasty, which is known as the most warm jade in the world, in order to recuperate his health for His Royal Highness.

"I don't know if there is any jade in this batch that can be compared with it?"

When it comes to the jade seal of the former dynasty, the rest of the people are also a little bit more interested.

"I've also heard about this. It is said that His Royal Highness has been weak and sick since he was a child, but now that he sees him, he is in good spirits and does not appear sick. This shows that the number one Nuanyu in the world really lives up to its reputation!

"That's natural! How can the jade seal be a mortal thing in one dynasty?"

"In the whole world, I am afraid that only King Qingjiang, who has countless treasures in his family, will lend this priceless treasure!" "Really? What you said seems to be different from the version I heard before. I heard It is said that the king of the north did not borrow the jade seal from the king of Qingjiang, but exchanged it with [-] arrows!'

"Brother, let me remind you, this is Qingzhou, please reorganize the language.

"Okay, that must be my memory.

Hearing everyone mentioned Yuxi from the previous dynasty, Xiong Hui couldn't help but glance at Jiang Qingyu.

As the chief elder of a family that started with jade, what he has always dreamed of is to buy back the jade seal of the previous dynasty, which is known as the most warm jade in the world, and pass it on from generation to generation as an inheritance treasure.

But he spent countless human favors and top-quality jade, and only exchanged a few chances to touch him with his own hands from King Jingxuan of Qingjiang, and he didn't even have the qualifications to bargain.

However, 11 years ago, the King of Rejecting North directly snatched the jade seal of the former dynasty from Jing Xuan with [-] arrows, and carved it into a stove!

It's just outrageous!

At that time, Xiong Hui also secretly scolded a lot of violent things for this, and he always regretted it!

Later, he bought a scrap of a jade seal at a huge price, and carved it into a bear-shaped jade pendant with his own hands, and hung it around his neck day and night, which gave him some comfort.

But seeing Jiang Qingyu this time, and hearing someone mention Yuxi, he still couldn't help but secretly sigh a few times!

That reckless man Jiang Qiushui didn't know that jade was precious, so he found a mortal craftsman to carve the jade seal into a stove, which not only completely lost the imperial luck accumulated in the jade seal for hundreds of years, but also damaged some of the original characteristics of Nuanyu. Turning a treasure comparable to a magic weapon into a vulgar thing that can only warm and nourish the body of a mortal, it should be written into history and let future generations have been scolded!

At that time in the capital, the students and lecturers of Jixia Academy were also scolding, and even Mr. Xun couldn't help but sigh a pity.But today, Xiong Hui can understand what the other party is doing.

after all.

If the jade seal is not destroyed, but luck is still in the world, I am afraid that the royal family will suspect that the king of the north has a rebellious heart. At that time, not only Jiang Qingyu's illness cannot be cured, but even the entire palace may suffer.

"just

"Is it true that all the luck accumulated by Yuxi in the previous dynasty has been rejected by the Northern King and returned to heaven and earth?"

Xiong Hun glanced at Jiang Qingyu, then remembered the words sent by Qingjiang Wang Jingxuan a few days ago, and couldn't help feeling a little more suspicious in his heart.

"The king of Qingjiang ordered that if His Royal Highness agrees to travel by water together, then at midnight on the day when the fleet enters Qingjiang, the two ships carrying the cargo ordered by the royal family will be placed at the end of the fleet.

"At that time, he will send people to attack the fleet and kill all the people in the palace except Jiang Qingyu, in order to avenge the seizure of the jade seal 11 years ago!"

"I can't figure it out, is this His Majesty's attempt to test King Rejecting the North, or is it purely Jing Xuan's own doing?"

"but.

"Knowing that he has a grudge against the King of Qingjiang, the King of Rejecting Bei let his son walk along the river. Obviously, he has something to rely on."

"I don't know who will win the battle between the two sides this time.

Xiong Hui looked up at the sky.

I saw black clouds covering the void, and there was a tendency of storms to come.

"Tonight, it is destined not to be peaceful.

He stared at the sky and sighed softly:

"I just hope that this batch of goods can arrive in the capital safe and sound.

"If it sinks in Qingjiang, with Jing Xuan's insatiable temper, I'm afraid that except for the one ordered by His Majesty, he will have to eat all the goods of the other eighteen ships!"

"Although this person said that he would compensate my Xiong family, compared to some compensation in gold and silver, the old man still hopes to bring the goods to the capital, so as not to affect the reputation of the Xiong family."

He paused, then said helplessly:

"Hey, if Jing Xuan is not for His Majesty's younger brother and masters the important waterways for jade transportation, I really don't want to cooperate with him!" "Jing Xuan is not easy to mess with, but Jiang Qiushui, a reckless man, is he easy to mess with?"

"You know, the base camp of my Xiong family is in Bingzhou!"

boom!

Suddenly, a thunderbolt exploded beside everyone's ears!

next moment.

Xiong Hui stood on the spot, feeling horrified

Because he seemed to see, among the heavy black clouds, a snake-shaped monster hundreds of feet long was swallowing clouds and mist!

.

Chapter 229 Leaving the Huge Ship to Die

"It's a dragon!"

"The Dragon Appears!"

On the other huge ship, Xing San stared at the changing void, and couldn't help exclaiming when he saw the shadow of the giant python that seemed to be there.

Chen Feng followed the other party's gaze, but was surprised and uncertain

I saw black clouds surging above the void, and the overlapping shadows looked like a huge long snake dancing. When its body rubbed against the clouds, it continuously emitted bursts of lightning and thunder.

But if you look closely...

But you will find that you can't see the true appearance of this long snake shadow at all, only the thick black mist and cloudy clouds are intertwined, it seems that the person watching is suspicious!

"Is this a dragon?

"But why do I think it's just an illusion formed by a large black cloud?"

Chen Feng was very puzzled:

"Senior, will you admit your mistake?"

"Didn't you say that the dragon is in Qingjiang? Why did it appear in the sky? And it looks like a cloud at all!"

But Xingsan is very convinced:

"It's a dragon!"

"The master of the pavilion told the old man before that the adult dragon has the ability to soar through the clouds and ride the fog, spread the clouds and rain, and his strength is even higher than that of the sun.

After saying this, he crushed a mother-of-pearl pearl hidden in his sleeve:

"Okay, the old man has already notified the Pavilion Master."

"The two of us wait here for a while, and once the pavilion master shows up, we can stand aside for him and slaughter everyone who saw this battle!

At this moment, under the mask, Chen Feng's expression was very ugly.

Damn it, above the sun!

The strength of the dragon is actually a real star!

Xingyi actually sent him, a newcomer to the Luminous Sun Realm, to search for a star picker on Qingjiang for a month!

This is not taking your own life seriously!

"Didn't it mean that as long as we find the trace of the dragon and crush the mother-of-pearl beads to inform the Pavilion Master, our mission will be considered complete?"

Chen Feng's tone was slightly dissatisfied.

But Xingsan didn't get used to him this time.

"The task has now been changed.

"Why, is it possible that you want to disobey the Pavilion Master's order?

He glanced coldly at Chen Feng with his eyes, and at the same time held the hilts of the two swords behind him with both hands.

It seems to be threatening.

Chen Feng gritted his teeth, but did not dare to show the slightest anger:

"No, I am naturally the one who obeys the orders of the pavilion master!"
