"Tongyou City is also a place where warriors gather, usually private trade meetings between warriors are not uncommon, but after the Battle of Tongyou, Tongyou City is in ruins, and this kind of private exchange gathering is much less."
Walking in the busy Tongyou City, Tian Mengzi said casually to the two of them.
The reconstruction of Tongyou City has begun since the end of the Battle of Tongyou.
Now that half a year has passed, the general outline of Tongyou City has been completed, but the construction of the city is far from over.
Shang Xia looked at the busy crowd around him with interest, and felt that Tongyou City seemed to be bursting with a kind of vitality at this time.
Before the start of the Battle of Tongyou, Tongyou Academy and the major families were already consciously evacuating the people in the city.
After the war was over, although the city was destroyed into ruins, in fact, the number of casualties in the city was not much.
"Who are the people who usually participate in these fairs?"
Shang Xia asked the two of them casually.
Sun Haiwei replied: "Everyone has it! The warriors of the academy, the warriors of the major families in the city and the scattered people, as well as the warriors who live in seclusion and practice in the mountains and fields outside the city, and even people from other states, etc."
Tian Mengzi added: "In fact, these trade fairs are also bright and dark, usually these trade fairs are mostly organized by well-known and famous warriors, everyone calls friends to gather to exchange things, and at the same time, they can also get acquainted, and the transaction process is relatively safe."
Shang Xia immediately asked: "What about the secret trade fair?"
Tian Mengzi smiled and said: "The secret trade fair also refers to the underground trade fair. In the trade fair, there are naturally many things that cannot be seen. Because of this, the threshold for underground trade fairs is usually higher, and people who have no way to get in cannot enter or find it, but even so, looting and fighting around underground trade fairs are not uncommon inside and outside Tongyou City."
Shang Xia was a little difficult to pass: "There are always places in a city that are not seen, I can understand this. However, with the control of the academy and the four major families over Tongyou City, the dark side of these Tongyou City should not be too presumptuous."
Sun Haiwei and Tian Mengzi glanced at each other, and saw Tian Mengzi smile bitterly: "Junior Brother Shang is actually right, in fact, the underground forces in Tongyou City can already be called 'cautious' compared to other cities outside Youzhou. But I have to say that the existence of these dark sides often has a kind of inevitability, as the saying goes, 'it is better to block than to loosen', which is probably what it means."
When Shang Xia heard this, he immediately understood that the existence of the underground forces in Tongyou City was obviously due to the connivance of Tongyou Academy and the four major families.
As they spoke, a group of three people had already arrived at a teahouse that looked to have just been built and had just opened.
Without waiting for the guys in the teahouse to come forward to greet him, the shopkeeper of the teahouse had already pressed the guy behind him first, and came forward and said: "Three young masters, but are you a distinguished guest invited by Master Zhao? In the elegant room on the third floor, Master Zhao has been waiting for a long time!"
The three of them were personally led up to the third floor by the shopkeeper of the teahouse, and they saw a very rich middle-aged man coming forward with a smile on his face.
"I don't think there will be a college here, it's a good honor!"
The middle-aged man said as his eyes swept past Shang Xia.
Compared with Sun Haiwei and Tian Mengzi, the younger Shang Xia may be more famous, but here he is a completely new face.
"I don't know what this young master is called?"
The middle-aged man obviously found something from Shang Xia and asked with a smile on his face.
Shang Xia saw the hesitation on the faces of Sun and Tian beside him, so he smiled and said: "My boy's surname is Xia, I don't know what the senior calls me?"
"So it's Young Master Xia!"
The middle-aged man didn't know if he believed it, but a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "The old man's surname is Zhao, this teahouse is actually the property under Zhao's name, Young Master Xia is willing to come to enjoy the light, Zhao is lucky in his life!"
"So it's Boss Zhao!"
Shang Xia would not be proud of his identity on such occasions, and he would only compliment each other with a few words.
Tian Mengzi saw everyone's familiar faces, so he interjected: "I said Lao Zhao, how many people came this time, is it possible to get to the bottom of it?"
Boss Zhao pondered for a moment and said: "The scope of the news released by Zhao this time was originally very small, but because Tongyou City is in ruins, there are many colleagues who responded, plus the newcomers who were introduced, and the colleagues who came to the party this time are afraid that they will go for the double ten."
After a pause, Boss Zhao suddenly whispered: "Zhao got the exact news, and this time there should be people from outside the city."
Tian Mengzi glanced at him in surprise when he heard this, and said: "Okay, Lao Zhao, the road is wild enough! If it weren't for your teahouse, I would have thought we would have entered the dark market this time."
"Hey, I don't dare!"
Boss Zhao hurriedly waved his hand and made a panicked movement, but in fact, the smile on his face did not diminish, and he was even quite pleased.
After that, Boss Zhao wanted to lead the three of them into the elegant tea room.
Sun Haiwei was meticulous, and after a meal in front of the tea room, she opened a bamboo basket next to her, pointed to the contents and said: "Xiaoxia's first time here, this time there are many unidentified scattered people, so just bring this!"
Shang Xia looked down and saw several masks placed in the bamboo basket.
Shang Xia was still more curious in his heart, so he casually picked up one and put it on his face.
At the same time, his heart moved, and the breath on his body suddenly changed, as if he had changed into a different person.
Tian Mengzi, Sun Haiwei and Boss Zhao all showed a hint of astonishment on their faces, obviously they didn't expect Shang Xia to have such an operation.
Tian Mengzi and Sun Haiwei then wore them separately, and then walked into the tea room.
However, the tea room in front of him was very small, and it didn't look like it could accommodate a gathering of twenty people.
However, Shang Xia saw that Sun Haiwei and Tian Mengzi beside him looked calm, so he stood aside and watched the changes.
Sure enough, I saw Boss Zhao step forward and secretly knocked a few times in different places on the tea table in the center of the tea room, and one of the walls immediately opened inward, revealing a passage behind it.
"Three of you, please, Zhao will naturally go in after a while!"
Tian Mengzi nodded towards the two of them, and walked into the passage first, Sun Haiwei and Shang Xia immediately followed, the wall behind them closed, but the passage was not dark.
"That Zhao Fengchun Boss Zhao is a member of the Zhao family in Tongyou City, and Zhao Hengchun, the head of the Zhao family, is the cultivation of the Great Achievement of Martial Art, and it is said that he has been seeking a way to advance to the martial arts realm in the past two years, and he has not taken the path of Tongyou Academy."
As Sun Haiwei walked, she whispered to Shang Xia about Boss Zhao's details.
Shang Xia nodded slightly, he naturally knew about the Zhao family.
In Tongyou City, except for Tongyou Academy and the four major families, the Zhao family should be regarded as a powerful family among the medium-sized forces.
Just now, that Zhao Fengchun Zhao Boss Zhao had already been seen through by Shang Xia, this person has the cultivation of the third level of martial arts, and he can be regarded as a person with a head and face in this Tongyou City, no wonder
can organize such a trade fair.
The passage was not too long, and after the three of them walked a few steps, they pushed open a bamboo door and came to an empty tea room.
In this tea room, the seats are all placed against the wall, leaving only the center vacant.
At this time, around this tea room, a total of seven or eight warriors had already sat down, and Shang Xia and the three of them came neither early nor late.
The moment the three of them entered the tea room, they attracted the general gaze of the first person to scrutinize.
Tian Mengzi turned a blind eye and went straight to find the three seats next to each other and greeted Sun Haiwei and Shang Xia to take their seats.
At this time, the eyes around him had converged a lot, but there were still a few people who looked at the three of them quite unscrupulously.
Without him, although the three of them wore masks on their faces, it was easy to judge from their behavior that they were still young.
In this Tongyou City, nine out of ten of such young third-order warriors are undoubtedly from Tongyou Academy.
Tian Mengzi turned a blind eye to this, and Sun Haiwei was a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Shang Xia snorted coldly, and when he looked at the several warriors here, his whole body was shocked, and his head seemed to have been hit hard with a hammer, and then he looked at Shang Xia's three people's eyes with fear.
Shang Xia's eyes swept over, and the rest of the people avoided his line of sight in a panic.
Sun Haiwei breathed a sigh of relief, while Tian Mengzi gave Shang Xia a thumbs up.
When the two of them walked in first, looked around, their eyes were slightly on Shang Xia and the three of them, and then they found two seats to sit down.
Sun Haiwei sighed slightly, and said in the ears of the two of them: "The upper house teaches Huo Wuji, and the deacon of the hospital guard department Takeda Fang!"
Tian Mengzi nodded, indicating that he knew.
Shang Xia couldn't help but look at these two people more.
The two seemed to be aware of something, and one of the rugged-looking thirty-year-old warriors suddenly raised his head and smiled at Shang Xia, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
"The two of them obviously also saw that the three of us were from the academy!"
Tian Mengzi said to the two of them expressionlessly.
I don't know how many portals there are on the wall of this tea room, and in the next moment, five or six more warriors walked in from different portals one after another.
When Zhao Fengchun and Boss Zhao came in last, there were nineteen third-order warriors gathered in the tea room.
I saw that Boss Zhao went straight to the center of the tea room, first made a four-way bow, and said: "It's not easy for you to come here, so Zhao will make a long story. Thank you for giving Zhao this face, Zhao is very honored. Next, let's get straight to the topic, and Zhao will throw bricks first!"
Shang Xia didn't expect this Boss Zhao to be so direct, and he became more and more curious about the next trade meeting.
I saw that Boss Zhao took out a lacquer box about a foot long from the cuff, and after opening the lid of the box with the talisman, a total of twelve clam beads the size of a dragon's eye were neatly embedded in the box.
"Twelve smoke and symbide sauvignons produced by the three-hundred-year-old clam are third-order treasures, and they have a wide range of uses, whether it is advanced potions, talisman production, sharp weapon forging, or formation layout, etc., they can be used!"
Boss Zhao When Boss Zhao said this, his tone paused slightly, and then continued: "I would like to exchange a bottle of Mingxin hydrosol or a piece of Wuyang Blue Heart Jade from your hands!"
As soon as the words fell, Shang Xia suddenly felt that the originally careless atmosphere in the tea room had suddenly changed, and a few even made a soft sound, and the expression on their faces was even more suspicious.
