Tomb Raider: Get Qilin Blood at the beginning

"what happened?"

"Shirley and I were going to find the person who knew the clues of Blackwater City, but he died suddenly...or disappeared."

"What do you mean?" Lu Yu frowned as he listened.

To die is to die, to disappear is to disappear, so not sure whether it is dead or disappeared, what is going on?

Hu Bayi immediately explained a few sentences.

A few minutes ago, he and Shirley Yang went to a restaurant as agreed to meet the person who had clues to Heishui City.

They had seen the man sitting by the window waiting for them.

but……

When they walked to the door, a dazzling glare flashed by, and looking at that person again, he had disappeared without a trace, only a slanted shadow was printed on the deck!

This scene is extremely weird!

Moreover, the two of them have seen the surveillance of the restaurant.

"Little brother, there may be a magic weapon." Hu Bayi lowered his voice and spoke out his guess.

"Just wait, Fatty and I will pass in two days."

"Okay, let's wait until we meet."

"it is good!"

After Lu Yu hung up the phone, he called Fatty Wang directly and told him to come back quickly.

Then, he called Da Jinya and asked him to arrange for him and Fatty Wang to go abroad.

By the way, he took out some antiques and curios and asked him to hand them over to Huo Xiangu, who would ship them from the Crescent Hotel.

only……

In the evening, Da Jinya came to the courtyard with Huo Xiangu!

Chapter 180 Nine Invitations to Overseas Auctions

"Huo Xiangu."

"Ah."

Huo Xiangu entered the courtyard, looked around, and naturally sat down on the sofa.

After taking a sip of tea and chatting for a while, we got to the topic.

"I've seen the things you asked Master Jin to bring to me. They are very good, but you can't ship them in such a hurry."

"I've sold out all the items from last time. This wave will take a few months to whet their appetites and wait until the price rises before shipping."

Lu Yu was not short of money, so he was naturally not in a hurry.

Immediately nodded and agreed, but I was a little puzzled.

Ordinarily, such a small matter is not worth visiting by Huo Xiangu in person.

really!

After saying a few more words, Huo Xiangu changed the subject: "I heard from Master Jin that you plan to go abroad, right?"

"Yes, I have this idea."

"Then do me a favor.

"You say."

"In the past two days, there is an auction abroad. There are a few things in it. I am interested. You can bring them back for me."

"what?"

"Style Lei, have you heard of it?"

Hearing these three words, Lu Yu's face changed slightly.

He has heard and seen these three words, and he understands very well what these three words represent when they come out of Huo Xiangu's mouth!

Style mine, at first glance, sounds like a mine.

But in fact, it refers to a generation of big architectural families, the Lei family!

The Lei family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, prospered in the early Qing Dynasty and disappeared in the late Qing Dynasty...

During the Qing Dynasty, almost all important palace buildings and royal projects such as palaces, imperial tombs, and imperial gardens came from the Lei family.

The reason why it was called Shishilei by the Lei family is because there was a small yamen in the Qing Dynasty called Shishifang!

Style House, responsible for designing buildings for the royal family.

As for the Lei family, there are a total of eight generations who have been in charge of the style house!

Therefore, the Lei family is honored as Style Lei!

only……

Lu Yu guessed in his heart that Huo Xiangu proposed the style mine at this time, probably not for the blueprints, but for understanding the structure of the Zhang family's ancient building!

after all……

Zhang Qiling's Zhang family ancient building, the official blueprint involved in the first generation of "Style Thunder"!

This matter is not easy to do!

While he was thinking, Huo Xiangu briefly talked about "Xiang Lei" and then changed the topic.

"I have always liked the imperial architectural style of the Qing Dynasty."

"This time, I heard that there are blueprints of the first generation of Lei in the auction, so I will trouble you, run for me and bring me back the blueprints."

"How much money do you need, just tell me when the time comes."

Lu Yu thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

This is not a big deal, and he will have to go to the ancient building of the Zhang family sooner or later, so it is not a bad thing to prepare in advance now.

Speaking of which, before he went to Longling Miku last time, he called Xiao Wu Xie to discuss going to the ground.

It's just that Wu Xie didn't know what he was busy with. He only said that he was not going to the ground for the time being, and the matter was left alone.

evening.

After seeing off Huo Xiangu and Da Jinya, Wu Xie called with just one call.

Moreover, the speech falters.

After Lu Yu asked a few words, he finally explained the purpose of his call.

After making a fuss for a long time, I wanted to borrow money.

"Little brother, I'm really sorry. I owed you so much for the last time I 'lighted the sky lantern'. This time I have to ask you for help."

Speaking of which, Wu Xie asked him to borrow 100 million, which wasn't too much, but he still asked.

Wu Xie didn't hide anything, and said directly: "I heard that the rubbings of the Warring States Silk Books may be auctioned in the two-day foreign auction. I want to try my luck and see if I can get the rubbings of the Warring States Silk Books and make some money."

As for how to make money, Wu Xie didn't say much, and Lu Yu didn't ask too much. He only said that he also planned to go abroad. If he was free, he might as well go together.

The two of you talked to each other and quickly settled the matter.

Everything in the world is a book without a coincidence.

Going around, the auction they were going to was actually the same family.

only……

Just after discussing with Wu Xie, Lu Yu's phone rang again.

I don't know if these people have discussed it and lined up to call him.

of course.

This time the caller was not a friend or business partner, but his mother.

"Xiao Yu, that Wanfu jade powder plate is very good. Your father and I both eat with it, and it seems that our bodies are a little different."

"That's fine."

"Are you free recently? Can you come over? I know you like antiques. It just so happens that there is an auction here. You can actually come and have a look."

Lu Yu listened. After a moment of silence, he still couldn't bear to refuse. He just said softly: "I will go to the auction. If I have time, I will go home and have a look."

"Really? That's great! I'm waiting for your good news!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yu let out a long sigh.

Taking people's money to eliminate disasters with others, this time going abroad, you have to go home, otherwise it is indeed a bit unreasonable!

Chapter 190

The next day.

Lu Yu, Fatty Wang, and Wu Xie left together and rushed abroad.

The little girl, Ye Yixin, was left in the courtyard to help look after the house.

Another one, her body is really not suitable for going to other places...

Evening, San Francisco.

Several people who walked out of the airport joined Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang.

The auction was still early, and several people went directly to the restaurant where Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang and the others saw the suspected "magic weapon".

This restaurant is not a luxurious restaurant, but an ordinary fast food restaurant.

At this time, it was time to eat, and the restaurant was full of people, and it seemed that it was not affected by the previous incident.

"Brother, should we go to Shirley's place to put the things down first, and then come over?"

When Hu Bayi was speaking, he glanced at Wu Xie intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Yu knew what he was thinking, smiled slightly, and said softly, "It's not an outsider."
