"Sneeze!" The ignorant Fu Jingtao suddenly covered his nose and sneezed.

Zhao Liu was surprised and said: "With your cultivation level, can you still catch a cold?"

Fu Jingtao thumped his chest and said, "Who said I caught a cold? I don't know who is talking behind my back, damn it!"

Zhao Liu smiled and said: "Either you have done something wrong, or the creditor has come to ask you to collect debt. Otherwise, who would be so bored as to talk about you behind your back?"

Fu Jingtao said: "I have never done anything wrong in my life, so why should I be afraid of ghosts knocking on my door in the middle of the night!"

Zhao Liu glanced at him: "Keep your words in your mouth! If you talk too much, be careful of retribution. Please pray to the gods and Buddhas before going out these days."

Fu Jingtao laughed and disagreed.

Apart from stones, Lingyun City lacks any interesting places of interest. After leaving the gate, Hu Feng simply suggested to go to the Treasure Appraisal Market, where you might find unexpected gains.

The Xuanyuanmen viewing ceremony is a highly anticipated martial arts event. In addition to the officially invited famous heroes, there are also hundreds of people from all walks of life who heard about it. With their arrival, Lingyun City was overcrowded, with inns, teahouses, restaurants,

The shop business is booming.

These days, people from all over the world gather together, which itself generates various demand transactions, such as elixirs, weapons, hidden weapons, secrets, antiques, armors, talismans... etc. In addition, there are also specialized merchants selling all kinds of rare items.

Weird things, such as treasure maps, disguise potions, master's notes, extraterrestrial meteorites, divination atlases, etc. If you are lucky enough, you can buy rare treasures for just a few pennies.

The world is so vast, there are all kinds of wonders, and everyone's cultivation method is vastly different. Some things are worthless in your hands and feel tired to hold, but when they fall into the hands of others, they can turn decay into magic and play a great role.

Therefore, in the market, some people only trade but do not sell. If they cannot find what they like, they would rather return empty-handed.

The seven aristocratic families saw the business opportunities contained therein, and early set aside an open space outside the north gate of Lingyun City, built more than a dozen rows of wooden sheds and wooden platforms, divided the stalls, and rented them out at a price, naming it the "Treasure Appraisal Market". In the market

Experts from aristocratic families work together to maintain order and ensure fairness in transactions.

Once this treasure-appraisal market was launched, it became very popular among buyers and sellers. Even Xuanyuan inner sect disciples and disciples from aristocratic families came to try their luck. It was very bustling every day. As a result, there were also various vendors selling snacks, jewelry, and other items.

Those selling delicacies, selling medicinal herbs, selling jade, and fortune tellers all of a sudden appeared, pushing the popularity to an even higher level.

The items sold in the market are a mixed bag, and whether you can buy the real thing depends on a sharp eye. If you buy the real thing, it’s up to you. If you buy the fake thing, you blame yourself for lack of enthusiasm. Once the money is delivered, no one can regret it.

Fu Jingtao clicked his tongue and said, "According to this, aren't we all gambling?"

Hu Feng nodded and said: "It's just gambling! Who doesn't want to use a small amount to make a big gain? Who doesn't want to find rare treasures? Such lucky things happen every day!"

Fu Jingtao looked at her with a half-smile but said, "Is it true? Isn't it possible that the aristocratic families have colluded and deliberately put on a good show to boost their popularity?"

Hu Feng waved his fist at him: "You are the heart of a villain and the heart of a gentleman!"

Fu Jingtao secretly praised that the family did have experts who took advantage of the gamblers' nature to run the so-called treasure appraisal market in a great way and turned it into a cornucopia. With the family's century-old foundation, as long as you find someone to act as a trustee, you can just throw away one or two.

Using an old antique as bait will naturally attract people to grab it. When the news spreads, it will attract more people's attention and transactions. This is a typical example of making big money at the expense of small profits.

Zhao Liu didn't care about the treasure or not. He just wanted to join in the fun and clapped his hands and said: "Okay, I'm going to try my eyesight and try my luck. If I pick up a few magical secret books, it won't be in vain."

This is what happened to Lingyun City."

Fu Jingtao suppressed his laughter and said seriously: "When it comes to choosing secrets and identifying their authenticity, I am barely an expert. I will help Mr. Zhao as a consultant when the time comes."

Hu Feng said suspiciously: "You won't secretly join forces with others to defraud the young master of his money, right?"

Fu Jingtao said: "You are Gu Yuehu, a fox who is not a fox, so there is no reason for you to come here to demolish yourself! How dare I deceive the young master if I am not brave enough? I haven't lived enough yet!"

Hu Feng sneered: "What if you eat the dog's guts?"

The two were bickering and having a good time, when suddenly they heard the sound of hoofbeats, and it was Jiang Haoyuan, accompanied by Zhao San, Li Changjing, Murong Xin and a group of more than ten people, riding horses from behind to approach.

Zhao Liu, Fu Jingtao and others hurried to the street.

Zhao San reined in his mount and said with a smile, "Sixth brother, where are you going to play?"

Zhao Liudao: "Third brother, I'm going to the treasure appraisal market to look for treasures. What about you?"

Zhao San sighed and said: "I'm not as relaxed and comfortable as you. Today I have to go around the major families and chat with the heads of the families. There will inevitably be a battle of wits and courage."

Zhao Liu smiled and said: "When it comes to a battle of wits and courage, who in the world is your rival?"

Zhao San laughed and said, "This flattery feels so good!" After laughing, he turned to look at Fu Jingtao and Hu Feng, and said warmly: "My sixth brother is outspoken and playful, lively and active, thank you two young heroes for your hard work.

Zhao will remember this favor."

Fu Jingtao and Hu Feng hurriedly raised their hands and said, "It is an honor for us to be with Mr. Zhao Liu. How dare we expect anything else?"

Zhao San chuckled, waved goodbye, and went to talk secretly with the heads of various aristocratic families without mentioning it.

Fu Jingtao looked at Zhao San's back and praised: "Mr. Zhao has a noble status. He has seen many powerful people, but he has no arrogance. He treats little people like us kindly. He has the bearing of a king!"

Zhao Liu said proudly: "My second brother ruled the roost with force and founded the Song Dynasty; my third brother Guangyi had a strategy and pacified the world with wisdom!"

The sound of the words was like thunder rumbling in the ears.

Guangyi? Zhao Guangyi? Are Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Kuangyi the same person?

After realizing it later, Fu Jingtao stirred up huge waves in his heart.

On that day of the bloody battle in the wasteland, Zhou Huan had clearly mentioned that Gong Liu's master was Zhao Kuangyi. And Gong Liu not only led the horse thieves to snipe Zhou Huan and Zhou Chengzong, but also participated in planning Jiezhou's assassination of Jiang Haoyun, so Zhao Kuangyi was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Fu Jingtao swallowed and couldn't help but said, "Do you have another brother named Kuang Yi?"

Zhao Liu looked at him in surprise and said: "After my second brother ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, according to the ancestral etiquette, in order to avoid being taboo, my third brother and fourth brother had to change their names. The third brother's original name was 'Kuang Yi', and he changed his name to 'Guang Yi'.

Yi'; the fourth brother 'Kuangmei' was renamed 'Guangmei'."

Fu Jingtao murmured: "That's it!"

Zhao Guangyi played a big game of chess!

He first sent people to bribe the masters of the Demon Sect and assassinate Jiang Haoyun, which caused a deep sense of crisis in Xuanyuan Sect and disrupted Jiang Lie's plan to transfer power. He took the opportunity to support his puppets to rise to power and infiltrate into the Xuanyuan Sect. Then.

Throwing out the bait of fame and fortune, Jiang Lie was offered generous terms that he could not refuse. In the end, he went out in person, winning over the hearts of the family with the title of Prince of the Song Dynasty, and firmly binding Xuanyuanmen under the banner of the Song Dynasty.

This is a strategy that is linked together and is exhaustive. Zhao Guangyi does not show off his skills, and does everything with ease, and has almost achieved his goal of controlling Xuanyuan Sect.

The entire Xuanyuan Sect has a very good impression of Zhao Guangyi, but only Fu Jingtao knows how deep and sinister this seemingly gentle and friendly prince is!

Until now, there has been no evidence to prove that he was causing trouble in the dark.

Besides, from Fu Jingtao's point of view, he also hoped that the Song Dynasty could end the troubled times in the world as soon as possible, unify the country, gather national strength for the Northern Expedition, and recapture Yanyun from the Khitans!

If history can be created, he is willing to do his best to help the Song Dynasty become the overlord of the world and avoid the tragedy of the Jurchen barbarians trampling on the rivers and mountains and bloodbathing the Central Plains.

He hopes that there will be no record of "Jingkang's shame has not yet been resolved" in the history books in the future.
