Chapter 1766: Highly Respected? Pah! Scum
Xiaolan flapped her wings and landed on Yan Ruyu's shoulder.
The pointed little mouth pecked her earlobe lightly and said in a stingy voice: "Come on, come on! Split the money in half, one hand for the money and the other for the goods!"
Yan Ruyu patted its head, fed it something, and put it into the space.
At the same time, Huo Changhe also whispered: "Someone is coming."
Yan Ruyu turned her head and saw six or seven carriages turning onto this road from different directions.
There are no other roads around, and this road does not lead anywhere else.
A red lantern shaped like a lotus hung in front of the carriage, and it looked as bright as blood in the night.
The carriage stopped nearby and the owners of each house got out of the carriage.
Yan Ruyu counted them and found there were six.
Six men got out of the car, four middle-aged men and two elderly men. The oldest one had gray hair.
Yan Ruyu felt that he looked familiar. Not only the oldest one, but there were also two middle-aged men. One of them seemed to be the owner of a winery and was one of the many partners who wanted to cooperate with Qian's Winery.
The owner of Qian's Winery had a good impression of this person, and discussed with Yan Ruyu about selecting two partners, and this person was one of them.
I didn't expect that we would meet here.
The other one, who should be a florist, said that his wife loved flowers, so he opened a flower shop for his wife to sell beauty.
Huo Changhe's face darkened and he gritted his teeth and said, "It turned out to be him."
Yan Ruyu saw that he was staring at the older man and whispered, "He looks familiar to me, too. Who is he?"
"He was the etiquette teacher at the academy that Changxu went to."
"He is highly respected."
Yan Ruyu suddenly realized. No wonder. Indeed, she didn't go to the academy very often. She only went there once with Huo Changxu and met a few teachers randomly.
"You are a man of high moral character," Yan Ruyu said sarcastically, "but you do this kind of thing behind people's backs and still teach them etiquette."
Huo Changhe's face darkened and he clenched his fists: "I once thought that one day when Changheng entered the academy, I would also ask him to teach etiquette. It's a blessing..."
They were all very angry at the top of the tree, but the people below were chatting happily.
"Hey guys, are you here to buy American slaves too?"
"Yes, I have already paid the deposit a long time ago. There were still ten days before the delivery date. I was anxiously waiting, but I didn't expect it to be brought forward."
"Hey, Mr. Liu, you are...still strong despite your age."
Old Liu, the teacher of the academy, laughed and said, "No, I'm just curious."
Everyone laughed and understood each other tacitly.
"Is it almost time?"
"It's time to arrive."
While they were talking, the sound of horse hooves was heard and someone rode towards them.
Everyone immediately stopped talking and laughing and looked around.
The man riding the horse was a man.
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.
This... should be a woman, why is there a man here?
Could it be that he is also here to buy goods?
When the horses approached, Lu Peng dismounted and Er Ya appeared in front of everyone. Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Why did you ride a horse today instead of a carriage?"
Erya didn't answer, but dismounted and said, "It's almost time, let's do the deal now. Has everyone brought the balance?"
Everyone nodded and took out the silver bills. Erya looked at them one by one. After confirming them, she walked forward a few steps, took out a special whistle and blew it.
Not long after, with the sound of a whistle, the things on the ground in the recess turned around, revealing two doors.
Then, a man came out first, followed by a few women.
Yan Ruyu counted on the tree and there were eight in total.
But according to the secret guards' investigation, there were more than eight people who came out of the Lanxing Pavilion.
When people were brought closer, these women looked like puppets. The night wind was still cool. They were wearing thin gauze clothes, and their exquisite curves were faintly visible.
Look, several men are talking with their throats rolling.
Erya smiled and said, "There are eight people here, you can pick one. If you pick one, everyone will be happy."
"If two people choose the same thing, the one with the highest bid wins."
When everyone heard this, they thought it was fair and no one said anything.
Besides, these women are all beautiful, so why should I compete with others for one?
They circled around the women, sometimes touching them, sometimes caressing them, as if they were selecting pets or livestock, and were quite careful.
When they had all chosen, there were no overlaps and there were still two left.
Old Liu said, "There are two left. How about this? Sell them at a lower price and I'll take both."
The owner of the winery heard this and said, "You are so old, can you afford to buy so much?"
"Don't worry about that. I have my own uses."
The flower seller said, "I want one more, too. It doesn't have to be cheaper. I'll sell it at the original price."
"You... aren't you afraid that your wife will know?"
"What are you afraid of? I love flowers, and these girls... are as beautiful as flowers."
Everyone chuckled.
Erya nodded: "Since you want it, then bid for it."
In the end, the two that were not selected at the beginning were sold at high prices.
One was earned by Mr. Liu, and the other was earned by the flower seller.
With one hand he handed over the money and with the other he handed over the goods. When the banknote was about to be handed over to Erya, suddenly a sharp signal arrow sounded and a beam of bright light shot straight into the sky!
Those people were startled, and Lu Peng immediately drew his sword.
At the same time, countless strong lights lit up from all directions, shining straight towards them and surrounding them.
The blinding light made it impossible for them to open their eyes. Everyone was horrified. What on earth was this? There was such a strong light!
It's more uncomfortable than looking directly at the sun in broad daylight.
What made them even more panicked was that they couldn't see anything, but they could hear all kinds of noises in their ears.
The sound of footsteps, grass rustling, and swords being unsheathed.
There was no shouting or screaming, but the murderous atmosphere lingered and became more urgent.
Especially Lu Peng, who comes from a military background, is very sensitive to this.
He immediately realized that something was wrong.
He took a big step back, out of the light area, opened his eyes, and there was a moment of darkness in front of him. When he opened his eyes again, there was a person standing in front of him.
Chubby and smiling.
Lu Peng's heart sank. He had already recognized that this man was the close bodyguard of Zhennan King Huo Changhe.
He glanced around quickly out of the corner of his eye.
What I just heard was correct, the killing has indeed begun.
In just the blink of an eye, those who brought the women out were either killed or captured, and no one escaped.
Arrows began to be fired from those sunken places, but they seemed to be prepared, the shields they carried were indestructible, and two of them had something in their hands.
Already lit, emitting sparks.
Then, throw it to one of the shooting points.
Before Lu Peng could react, he heard a loud "bang".
My ears were shaken and felt uncomfortable. The place where I had just shot arrows became a sea of fire.
Seeing this, the other archery points also stopped.
There was silence, save for the sound of the unburned fire.
Everyone was shocked by the loud noise just now.
Yinding sneered: "Lu Peng, do you want me to arrest you or do you want me to arrest you?"
Lu Peng came to his senses, took two steps back, turned around and tried to run, but there was no way he could run away.
