Chapter 33 Shooting the Sun(1/2)

Wanting to sleep, a pillow fell from the sky. Now Xiahou was humming a tune and followed the servant in short clothes in front of him to a civilian residential area in the south of the city. Cangfeng also had a happy face and followed him with great interest.

Behind him, he asked the servant questions without hesitation. Only Bai's attention was focused on other places. He stared at the servant's round and straight buttocks in front of him, saliva dripping from his mouth, and thought about how to put his paw down.

, can pick up several kilograms or taels of good muscle.

They were really lucky. Xiahou and Cangfeng, who were going out to buy a house, had just walked to a crossroads near Xingtian's house when they heard a few servants in Tsing Yi shouting loudly: "The house is sold, the house is sold, civilian square"

A house in Anyi was sold at a cheap price. It had five courtyards inside and outside, three main halls on the left and right, four gardens and more than a dozen ponds, all of which were brought in with running water. The owner wanted to return to his clan land, and the house in Anyi was sold at a cheap price. As long as

It was sold at 50% of the market price."

Xia Hou was so excited that he immediately rushed forward, grabbed the shoulders of the two potential competitors with his big hand, threw them behind him, and shouted to the servant with great enthusiasm: "Where is it? Is it 50% of the market price? I

I want it. Hahaha, take me to see what that place is like, hurry up, hurry up, don’t wait any longer." Next to him, Bai grabbed a wooden stick from nowhere and hit one hard with the stick.

On the back of the young man's head, the middle-aged man who was asking about the price just now, but was pushed away by Xia Hou, and now wanted to rush up and argue with Xia Hou, was neatly put down to the ground.

The green-clothed servants blinked and looked at the middle-aged man who had been knocked to the ground and was still asking him for a price just now. They looked dumbfounded. But look at Xiahou's tall body, with a strange khaki color.

There were abnormal muscle lumps under the skin and clothes. What could these servants who were only in Xiahou's chest dare to say? Naturally, they could only lead Xiahou there. Originally, their master also said that this house must only be sold to

One person's.

After making several turns on the street and walking for about two meals, Xiahou and the others arrived at a particularly clean street.

The street is not wide, and can accommodate four large cars walking side by side. There are open channels on both sides of the road, and clear and cool spring water flows through it. In the middle of the road, a row of huge cypress trees has been planted, and four or five people can pass it.

The hugging tree trunks cover the branches of the entire street, making the entire street look a little dim, but extremely quiet. The bluestone slabs on the ground have been wiped as smooth as mirrors, as if they had just been washed, and there are still faint traces of water on them.

There was a rush of cool air as soon as I hit my face.

What Qi Practitioners pay attention to is the natural way of harmony between man and nature. To be able to have such a clean and quiet street in the bustling Anyi, Cang Fengqing couldn't help but admire: "It's wonderful."

Xia Hou was stunned, thinking a little angrily that Cangfeng didn't have any business sense at all. When buying something, can he praise the benefits of the product before negotiating the price? If the owner of the house heard this, he would know that Cangfeng was very

Do you like the surrounding environment here and don't have people shouting prices all over the place?

But there is no way, who calls Cangfeng a Qi practitioner who is ignorant of the world? Xiahou shook his head and hummed: "Okay, but it's hard to say. I won't mention anything else until I see the house."

There are no steps in front of this house, and the main entrance is not too luxuriously decorated. It is just a very ordinary wooden door that is five feet wide, two to three feet wide, and half a foot thick. After all, it is a civilian house. If there are steps in front, the courtyard door will be in harmony with the front door.

The portals of those officials also have a lot of unrealistic decorations, and they are afraid that they will be arrested and interrogated by the police officers immediately.

An old man wearing a thin silk coat, round and round like a glutinous rice ball, with a red face, quickly walked through the yard behind the main entrance and stepped out to welcome him. From a distance, I could hear the old man laughing happily.

: "Do these two adults want to see the house? Please come in, please come in, just take a look. The clansmen in the house have already evacuated, but the household items are still there, so just take a look and see if you are satisfied with it?"

This old man was very enthusiastic. Under his attentive guidance, it took Xiahou and Cangfeng half an hour to finish visiting the house.

Satisfied, very satisfied, what else can I say?

There are six main halls with a radius of more than ten feet in the courtyard with five entrances from the front and back. The side halls of the side rooms are enough to accommodate hundreds of people. All the corresponding household furniture is made of fine nanmu. In the building where the owner lives, the furniture and utensils are even more

It was carved out of expensive golden rosewood. Xiahou sighed in his heart. The common people in the Great Xia Dynasty lived a really good life. The furniture made of golden rosewood was even in Xingtian Dafeng's room.

It can't be found.

After asking casually, it turns out that this old man is indeed the boss of one of the twenty largest chambers of commerce in Anyi. Because he is getting older, he plans to return to his hometown to retire. His business has been handed over to his eldest son.

, but his eldest son had another house elsewhere. As a businessman never leaves any capital idle, the old man planned to sell the house, convert it into cash, and then hand it over to his eldest son to continue to expand the business.

What a good calculation. Xia Hou felt a little uneasy. He never talked about the price. It would be difficult to get some profit from an old and cunning businessman. But this house depends on him.

The area covered, and being in Anyi, the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty and the very center of the nine states in the world, it was obvious that it couldn't be cheap.

After hesitating for a while, he looked at Cang Feng, who had an extremely satisfied look on his face, and his whole face was glowing like jade. Xia Hou gritted his teeth and asked the old man: "Well, how much does the old gentleman want to pay?"

The old man glanced at Xia Hou with a smile, and nodded repeatedly: "The purchase of this house back then cost thirty square meters of raw jade."

Xia Hou was trembling in his heart. Building a house in Anyi actually cost the money to build three small towns. Several impressive words suddenly appeared in his mind: land financial bubble.

After coughing a few times, the old man looked at Xia Hou with a smile: "But now more than three hundred years have passed, and after many renovations and expansions, the market value of this house is more than 200 square meters of high-grade raw jade."

Cang Feng's face suddenly turned extremely ugly. Two hundred square meters of high-grade raw jade? You could scrape all Cang Feng and still not be able to find any scraps of jade. This high-grade raw jade, in the eyes of the great witches, is the result of cultivating witchcraft and absorbing the elemental energy.

The best auxiliary material. In the opinion of the Qi Refiner, it is also the best raw material for refining elixirs and magic weapons. Which Qi Refiner would go crazy and buy a house with two hundred cubic meters of raw jade that can greatly enhance his true energy?

Xiahou was in a dilemma. He didn't know when he would get the cart of money and goods that Xingtian Dafeng promised him. Moreover, how much was the cart of money and goods worth? Xiahou had no idea at all. This old man's servant

The price shouted is 50% of the market price, so it’s one hundred square meters of raw jade, right? However, this is also equivalent to the cost of ten small towns outside.

After coughing a few times, Xiahou's face turned red: "Then, the old man's price is Baifang Raw Jade? Well, this price is really."

The old man smiled and shook his head repeatedly: "A hundred square jade, that's just for outsiders. If you, my lord, really want this house, the price can naturally be negotiated. How about a hundred jade coins?"

With a 'dang' sound, Cangfeng trembled all over and sat down on the big chair at the back. From hundreds of raw jade to hundreds of jade coins, this is not even the price of jumping off the building. What is certain is that,

You can't exchange hundreds of jade coins for even a dime of a piece of high-quality raw jade.

Xia Hou's face turned stern, and he stared at the old man for a long time. He saw that the smile on the old man's face gradually disappeared, and finally he showed a look of horror. Then he shouted coldly: "Don't kill us."

Be a fool, who are you and what are your intentions? Just say it. I will give you a house worth two hundred square meters of jade and a hundred jade coins. Are you so polite? Especially in the bedrooms just now, the tea was still warm.

It’s hot, I’m afraid everyone in the yard has just evacuated?”

Seeing Xia Hou's expression change, Bai Bai immediately became arrogant, his eyes flashed with blood, saliva dripped down, he stared at the old man's protruding belly and made a decision

He looked fierce as if he was about to pounce on him and have a feast.

The old man laughed dryly a few times, looked at the cold-faced Xia Hou, looked left and right, and quickly lowered his voice: "This gentleman is really shrewd and can't hide it. Just now, someone from the Fu Gong's house came over and said, if a small citizen

The house was sold to a man with sallow skin and a majestic figure at a low price, so that the eldest grandson of Xiaomin could find a good job in the army." He raised his head and glanced at Xia Hou carefully, then quickly turned his face away.

He smiled and said, "Your Excellency knows the rules of Daxia. It is almost impossible for a commoner to hold an official position. The common people have been working hard for more than ten years and have achieved nothing, so hehe."

Xiahou and Cangfeng nodded in sudden realization. The Xingtian family is indeed one of the four largest witchcraft families in Anyi, and the whole family is worthy of being a soldier. They just left the gate, but they were entangled with the weird old man for a while.

, they have already arranged everything here.

Obviously, Xing Tian Dafeng and the others arranged this arrangement not only to sell a favor to Cangfeng, but also because they did not want other Wu family members to know that they contributed to this dojo. Even if in fact all the Wu family heads would know the background of this dojo.

, but no matter how you say it, you can't put things on the table. This is the so-called way of being an official.

Xia Hou smiled at the old man: "You are sober and candid."

The old man laughed and said, "After a lifetime of business, I still have the ability to say what I say to anyone I see. This adult seems to be a straightforward person at first glance. Why is Xiaomin still pretentious?"

Xia Hou nodded repeatedly and said approvingly: "That's very good. I'm most bothered by those naughty troubles. Now that everything has been explained, I won't owe you too much for this house. When I get the money,

I will always give you a better compensation. I, the Tiger Tyrannosaurus, cannot do anything like taking advantage of others."

Patting the old man's shoulder, Xia Hou said with a smile: "What's the name of your eldest grandson? From now on, in the military department, I will take care of him as much as I can. I won't do anything that I can't do. I won't do anything for this house."

As for the house deed and land title, please hand it over to me now."

After all, he was a businessman, and he handled the delivery contract with ease. When Cangfeng scratched his fingerprints on several sheepskins that had been blessed with witchcraft, Cangfeng became the owner of all the property in this house.

However, the old man named Shang Wu was also brave. In order to try his best to curry favor with Xiahou, he gave away fifty meters of servants, a hundred slaves and five bodyguards to the monsters in the courtyard. He was even afraid that Xiahou would have no money for a while.

To turn around, he even paid the wages of the servants and monsters for Xiahou for a year.

This favor is greatly owed.

Xiahou simply let Shang Wu do whatever he wanted. In short, he would just say a few good words to his eldest grandson named Shang Ying from time to time. With relatives who were officials in the military, for a chamber of commerce, one of them

Let’s not talk about the benefits. Although it can’t compare with those chambers of commerce that have strong backers, it can already stand out among the chambers of commerce where civilians are the bosses. This investment from the old man Shangwu is well spent.

Not unfairly, Keke's relationship with the Xingtian family has been established.

Xiahou and Cangfeng, who were extremely excited, and Bai, who had gotten a large animal's hind leg from somewhere and was chewing it in his mouth, returned to the Xingtian family's mansion with the house deed. Cangfeng was ready to go back.

Dulongdao went to invite his master's elders to come to Anyi to take charge, but he still had to say hello to Xingtian Dafeng first and ask him to take care of him in the future. Xiahou, on the other hand, came to express a little gratitude to Xingtian Dafeng. After all,

, thanks to the huge power of the Xingtian family, I got such a big house almost for free.

Even the old man from Shangwu knew very well that Xiahou's so-called good compensation for him was just a courtesy. If Xiahou really gave him money, he would never accept it.

After a very brief exchange of greetings, Xing Tian Dafeng’s enthusiastic win over and caring greetings, Cang Fengxing hurriedly drove the flying sword directly towards the east. Xiahou, on the other hand, confessed to Xing Tian Dafeng everything that happened today

In addition to expressing his gratitude to Xingtian Dafeng and confessing that those Qi refiners would definitely lean towards the Xingtian family in the future, Xiahou also explained to Xingtian Dafeng in an unusually frank manner that he had obtained the so-called Sun Shooting Technique.

Xingtian Dafeng seemed a little unconcerned. He had never heard of the so-called Sun Shooting Technique. Even Xingtian Xuanzhi, the most astute among their brothers, had no interest in this so-called bow and arrow skill. The overall feeling was,

It's just that they don't take the so-called Sun Shooting Technique to heart. No one will pay attention to something they don't understand at all.

However, an unusually dull sound, like heavy steel ingots hitting each other, suddenly sounded in the room of the monastery where Xiahou and Xingtian Dafeng were talking: "Dafeng, Xuanzhi, and the Chihu Tyrannosaurus, come to me."

Xingtian Dafeng and Xingtian Xuanzhi shivered at the same time and looked at Xiahou in shock.

Xia Hou was stunned. He looked at the two of them and asked in surprise: "Who was the person who spoke just now?"

Xing Tian Dafeng pouted: "Who is it? Our great-grandfather, Xing Tian'e, the contemporary head of the Xing Tian family! Damn it, how could this old man do this? He has been eavesdropping on our conversation! What day is it today? Why doesn't he have to go? Are you in the palace listening to your Majesty’s orders?”

There is a hall in the center of the Xingtian family's mansion. In the pure stone hall, which is only three feet high but ten feet wide, Xing Tiane is sitting on the only stone chair, short and thick as if it is an axe. With both hands, he gently pressed his lower abdomen. On his square face, the square eyes flashed with a sharp light, staring closely at Xing Tian Dafeng, who was cautiously walking through the thunder pond, and the tall and high-spirited man. Xiahou, who didn't care at all.

Xingtian Dafeng fluttered before he knelt on the ground and saluted Xingtian'e who was prostrated. "Great-grandfather, how can I trouble you with these trivial matters?"

Xing Tian'e raised his hand, and Xing Tian Dafeng was immediately bounced up like a balloon, standing there obediently. He just glanced at Xing Tian Dafeng, and then all his attention was on Xia Hou. He looked up and down. After looking at Xiahou for a long time, Xing Tiane nodded with satisfaction: "Tiger Tyrannosaurus? You little barbarian is interesting."

He didn't feel restrained because of Xing Tian'e's identity. In fact, Xia Hou did not understand what kind of identity and status the Fu Gong of the Great Xia Dynasty had. He took a step forward and met the elders of his clan as a member of the Chihu clan. After bowing to Xing Tian'e according to the etiquette, Xia Hou said angrily: "Mr. Xing Tian, ​​I'm glad to see you."

A smile that was still as sharp as a blade suddenly appeared on Xing Tian'e's face: "Nice to see me? It's interesting. I have lived for more than three hundred and seventy years, and this is the first time someone said they are happy to see me. Well, Chihu Tyrannosaurus , you are indeed interesting. Da Feng, this time you made Xiang Liurou suffer the consequences and defeated the boss, but it is all the credit of the Chihu Tyrannosaurus, do you understand? "

Xingtian Dafeng knelt down again with a grunt, and said respectfully and almost worshiping: "Dafeng knows that. That's why he didn't ask Brother Chihu to return to the new army camp, and prepared to let him join the Black Army directly."
