Chapter 33 Marketplace

Today, Gong Liying sat on the eaves of Yi Chen Zhuiyuan and looked away. Suddenly, she saw bursts of spiritual light bursting from the mountain peak. The distance was far away, and she also felt that the spiritual power was imminent.
Li Yue sat obediently in front of the steps under the corridor, with her hands wrapped around her knees and raised her eyes to look in that direction.
Gong Liying jumped off the eaves before she looked at her and went back to the house. Liyue kept watching her close the door before turning back her eyes, and continued to look at the direction where Yi Chen was chasing.
Jun Han also had a sick leave at yesterday's dinner and came to the court this morning.
So Situ Jing took the opportunity to look at it, but as expected, he didn't see where this guy was sick.
Since the Prime Minister and Jun Han cooperated, he has another problem - Jun Han has to secretly think about every move, as if he can understand this person in this way.
So today, Lu Yanzhi saw the Prime Minister's face again, and as expected, Jun Han was provoked.
"You said why did he get sick yesterday?"
"Discomfort."
The Prime Minister would rather believe that the old sows could climb trees than believe that there would be any disease in this world that dared to entangle the Marshal.
"Or it was just intentionally avoiding the dinner." Lu Yanzhi replied again.
The second answer is very consistent with the Prime Minister’s own guess.
Since entering the court, Jun Han has always been "fulfilled with his heart and responsibility". Although he is ambitious, he has never done anything beyond his rules and usually does not avoid things like palace banquets...
"Maybe the marshal has never been a person who likes to join in the fun."
"I've been busy all the time, but I just avoided what I did last night?"
"Maybe it's really unwell." Lu Yanzhi walked around him again like a slippery head, so the Prime Minister glared at him, "Can you say something useful?"
"After the ceremony, didn't the marshal personally try 'Ask Tianhong'?"
The Prime Minister suddenly came to his senses, "What do you mean is that he is not feeling well because he touched "Wen Tianhong"?"
"I have also inquired about the Gao people from the Jinshi Academy before. These weapons mixed with evil spirits are somewhat harmful to the users' bodies. Although the instigators have tried their best to reduce the backlash to the weakest, they still cannot completely remove them."
Situ Jing thought deeply and saw his cuffs twisting, "In this way, although these weapons are powerful, they will erode the fundamentals of the army..."
"The current 'Wen Tianhong' is just perfect compared to the beginning."
It seems reasonable to think so, but Situ Jing still thinks something is wrong.
"If even the backlash that Jun Han was subjected was so severe, let alone ordinary soldiers."
"So what are you worried about? Do you suspect that the marshal has other intentions? Or are you worried that these weapons are insecure?"
Lu Yanzhi's words made Situ Jing confused.
Yes, what's going on he's thinking about for a long time?
As soon as Situ Jing thought about it, he immediately came back. Seeing that his expression changed, Lu Yanzhi hurriedly pinched the opportunity and chased after him: "Don't doubt the employment of people."
The Prime Minister nodded.
It's so annoying when this problem was developed.
After transferring back to Jinlai, Situ Jing remembered the important matter and said, "By the way, I received a letter from my girl last month, saying that I would return to Beijing in the past two days, do you think you have been free recently?"
Lu Yan spent 360 days in the prime minister's mansion in the year. It's hard to say whether he has time. It depends on how much Prime Minister nagging him.
"What are the instructions for the sir?"
"It's nothing, I just asked casually."
Lu Yanzhi didn't know how to answer, so he had to cough and clear his throat.
——
Yi Chen came down from Jiuding Mountain alone - Jun Han also wanted to enjoy the scenery alone, so he asked him to go back first.
As soon as he entered the yard, a sword broke through the air and stabbed it. Yi Chen subconsciously turned sideways and blocked the sword with the hilt. In a blink of an eye, it was indeed Gong Liying.
Yi Chen chased her and smiled, "It's very dangerous..."
Gong Liying looked at him coldly for a while, then put away his sword, pulled it into the sheath, turned around and left.
Yi Chen asked habitually: "What's wrong? Who messed with you again today?"
Gong Liying ignored him and left coldly.
Yi Chen chased Gong Liying for no reason and was hit by a cold hammer, so he had to turn his eyes away. As expected, Li Yue was sitting under the eaves, with silver hair hidden in her hood, and the brim shadow and hat shadow almost covered her entire body. However, those glass-like eyes stared at Yi Chen for a long time, and then hesitated to the ground after seeing him turn his eyes, and subconsciously withdrew his eyes, lowered his head, and hesitated nervously at the ground.
This girl was so shy for some reason. When Yi Chen chased her in Canghai Pavilion last year, she was so scared that she turned around and ran away. Afterwards, she looked at Yi Chen chasing her on the yard wall, like a kitten.
"Yue'er?" Yi Chen chased her and squatted down.
Li Yue lowered her face a little crampedly.
Although Liyue likes to follow Yi Chen, she is always shy and dare not say anything whenever Yi Chen follows her and talks to her.
She suddenly raised her eyes, her eyes slightly distorted Yi Chen chased, and looked at the wall behind him.
Zi Mei stood on tiptoe on the wall. Seeing Li Yue raising her eyes, she swayed her shadow and jumped away.
"My master is looking for me, I'll go first..." Her voice soft and soft, as if it was more beautiful than the oriole singing.
Yi Chenzhao gently touched her head and smiled and said, "Yes, go."
"Young Master," the old butler rushed into the yard.
Yi Chenzhui stood up, "What's wrong?"
"Young Master Cheng from the Prime Minister's Mansion has something to come to you, so I'll ask you to go to Haishi as soon as possible."
Yi Chen was stunned for a moment, "Did you say what's going on?"
"I didn't say anything, I'm just waiting for you outside."
Hearing that it was an urgent matter, Yi Chen dared not delay it, so he put the heavy sword in his hand under the corridor and hurried away.
The person waiting outside the main gate was Ding Yang, who was most often following Situ Cheng. Before Yi Chen chased him, he saw him rubbing his hands and paced back and forth outside the gate. He was anxious and anxious as if he had to walk the threshold to waste time.
"What happened?"
"Young Master Yi, come with me, my young master is almost fighting with someone!"
"Fight?" Yi Chen chased and said in surprise. Although the monk was still unable to touch his head, he had already chased Ding Yang with his feet.
Situ Cheng, like his father, Prime Minister, is both a literati. He is good at quarrels and is not a good fight. Besides, Situ Cheng has always acted safely. How could he make a fuss to the point of fighting with others?
"Who are you going to fight with, Brother Cheng?"
"Isn't the Jin Normal University in a hurry to get a spirit invoked recently? I happened to meet a few more ghost collectors. Isn't it now negotiating prices in Haishi?"
"...How can this matter be managed by Brother Cheng?"
"Has this not tall man been invited to the door? Our young master is warm and willing to agree..."
Situ Cheng is indeed famous for his enthusiasm in the capital. He is always inseparable from any troubled places. He either persuades others to make peace or stand up for others, and is so busy that he is too busy to make friends.
Even if he took over the position of Minister of Justice now, it would not delay him from being down-to-earth.
The two of them walked through several streets before finally rushing to the tavern where Lord Shangshu and the inverted spirit vendors were spitting at Xingzi.
There were many visitors outside the tavern. Through the crowd gate, standing across the street, I could hear the roar of Lord Shangshu like the roar of the lion in the east of the river.
"Borrow the way, let it go..." Yi Chen chased and Ding Yang for a long time before he squeezed into the tavern door.
Situ Cheng was wearing a Confucian robe and slapped the table and benched by others. The three ghost hunters who were fierce and evil-looking, with scars on their faces. The tall man from the Jinshi Academy sat timidly on the edge of the noisy, sometimes speaking a few words, but he didn't dare to provoke these three fierce gods.
This glance made Yi Chen look overwhelmed - who doesn't know that those who take ghosts are doing business with their lives. Situ Cheng, who has no power to tie a chicken, dares to bargain with these desperadoes, aren't you afraid of provoking the plague god?
Yi Chen chased to the table and was about to salute. Situ Cheng glanced at him in a hurry and pulled him down, and he kept yelling at the three people: "The price is clearly set in Haishi, but you can't help but shout - I said 500 taels and two night pearls at this price, and I won't give you an extra cent!"
The three of them were stunned for a long time when they watched Yi Chen chasing him silently.
"Is this deal done?"
"Do! Do it, you can make the price whatever you say."
"That's good to say," Situ Cheng finally felt relieved, took a sip of the cold tea, and put both hands into his sleeves, "Where is the thing?"
"You are negotiating the price without looking at things?" Yi Chen was shocked. Situ Cheng turned his eyes blankly, "Don't interrupt if you don't know."
“…”
Although the Prime Minister looks better than the Marshal, Yi Chen Zhui is indeed more like a good young master than Situ Cheng.
Yi Chen didn't say anything anymore. When he came for no reason, he didn't know what to do. He was so stupid that he was dragged to the bar outside the city that was specially used for stocking goods in the sea city to see the "goods".
There are some things in the Haishi City that you can’t look at the goods first and then talk about money. You must first make the price before you can get the goods.
This kind of thing is a minority and is generally not sold on the surface, such as ghosts and spirits.
Yi Chen always walks around the market to buy things, and he always walks with the people. He usually doesn’t contact these strange things, so he naturally doesn’t know the circles here.
Situ Cheng is different. God knows why he, a noble young master from the prime minister's family, likes to stay in the market.
The three ghost-capturing people led them to the deepest dome stone house in the barn, which was like a mausoleum, and pulled a red cloth to reveal a peach wood box wrapped in red lines inside, which was as tall as a person.
The talismans and spells on the box were crowded with each other. Even so, you could still feel the ghostly and bloody ghost aura there.
Gao Shijie stayed in Jinshi Academy all year round, and was immune to the aura of the evil spirits of the killing breath. He dared to stick his ears directly on the three ghost boxes that didn't dare to look around.
Situ Cheng stood a little further, after all, this thing cannot be dealt with by literati just by verbalizing.
Gao Shijie listened to the box for a while, then reached out and wiped the edge of the box for a while. After thinking for a long time, he nodded with his eyebrows and said, "It's good."
Then Gao Dadi paid the reward on the spot, sent his followers back to Jinshi Academy to call for someone, and then stood outside the door and enjoyed the scenery while discussing.
At first, Yi Chen asked: "What are you doing for buying this thing? Is it useful to inscription spirits?"
Gao Shijie was born as a blacksmith, with a strong body, strong eyebrows and eyes, and wearing the leather armor of the Jinshi Academy, it seems that it is quite intimidating.
However, people from Jin Normal University generally do not have much eloquence.
"In the past, in order to study the method of injecting spirits, there were also many elves and ghosts in the Jinshi Academy. They were used up in the past ten years, so they could only get it from outside temporarily."
"I see."
"It's just that the soul objects in the world are originally a minority, and such a fierce ghost is hard to come by. If all the soldiers of Dali hold the spirit-filled weapons, they may not be enough to capture all the evil ghosts in this world."
“What should I do?”
