Chapter 190 Fifth Invitation to Linglongzhai

On the third floor of the Qizhenyibao Pavilion, Xia Zhanhong and Mo Zixuan sat facing each other, while Uncle Cheng stood aside.

Quietly looking at Xia Zhanhong who was sitting opposite, Mo Zixuan had a faint smile on her face, she hadn't seen her for more than a month, all the longing in her heart turned into the tenderness in her eyes.

"Zhan Hong, congratulations on winning the first place in the selection of the commander and becoming the deputy capital of the dynasty!" Mo Zixuan said softly.

Xia Zhanhong was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked suspiciously: "You already know?"

Mo Zixuan covered her mouth and chuckled: "Last night, the military department announced the 12 people selected this time, and specifically pointed out that you will be promoted as the deputy capital of the dynasty!"

Xia Zhanhong thought for a while, then smiled: "Announcing the list of candidates to the outside world is a common practice in the selection of previous leaders. Taking this opportunity, I will be specially selected to be promoted to be the deputy governor... This is to build momentum for me and continue to improve me in the future." Pave the way, and at the same time tell me that as long as I can come back from the 72nd General Banner, they will definitely be able to fulfill their promise!"

Xia Zhanhong smiled lightly, and just as he was about to say a few words of humility, Uncle Cheng interjected from the side: "Young Master Xia, you are now the vice-capital commander of the dynasty, I don't know if you can get away! There are still one year, three months, two years The time limit is up!"

"Uncle Cheng!" Mo Zixuan suppressed her smile and gave Uncle Cheng a reproachful look.

Xia Zhanhong looked at Uncle Cheng, and said with a smile: "Uncle Cheng, don't worry about this, I have already agreed with the Marshal, as long as you complete the assigned tasks, you will not be restricted at ordinary times..."

Turning around, Xia Zhanhong said to Mo Zixuan: "I will set off in three months, and I will definitely return within a year... I came here today, first to see you, and second, to know about our auction this month. At the meeting, is there any congenital-level elixir! If so, can you find a way to meet the seller first..."

Mo Zixuan frowned slightly: "In the small auction, occasionally there will be some school-level pills, and you can't see those above the general level, let alone the innate level...the annual medium-sized auction will appear. I have tried innate-level elixirs a few times, but the number of times is very small... Moreover, our medium-sized auction this year is still too late, and we can't raise items at all!"

As he said that, Mo Zixuan asked: "Zhan Hong, do you urgently need a congenital-level elixir now?"

Xia Zhanhong nodded silently and said, "Yes, it's urgent!"

Mo Zixuan pondered for a while, and said: "I don't have any congenital medicine in my hand... How about you wait for me for a while, and I will go back to the headquarters in person to see if I can get it from the elders..."

Xia Zhanhong took a deep look at Mo Zixuan, and shook his head lightly: "If you go to ask the elders, it's tantamount to jumping into the brazier yourself! They just can't find a chance... Besides, there is no time It's too late, I need it in two days!"

Speaking of this, Xia Zhanhong smiled at Mo Zixuan, and continued: "It doesn't matter, there are seven or eight big auction houses in the capital. I'll go and look around, maybe I can meet them!"

Uncle Cheng on the side shook his head and said, "It takes a long time to raise funds for auctions of medium size and above. In the world, we are the only ones in the world. We have the strength to hold it once a year. Other auction houses don't have three." It won’t work in five years, and it’s useless if you go!”

Hearing Uncle Cheng's words, Xia Zhanhong frowned slightly. He also knew that congenital-level pills were hard to find, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

"If it really doesn't work, I can only use the white jade peony... Fortunately, I have perfected the second round of exercises now, even if the speed of opening the meridians is slower, it will not be as laborious as before... However, even if I find it The method, it’s hard to say if it’s too late or if you’re ready, after all, the time is too short, if you don’t prepare in time, this white jade peony will be wasted!”

Xia Zhanhong was thinking in his heart, but Mo Zixuan's eyes lit up, and she said, "I'll forget if Uncle Cheng doesn't mention it, Linglongzhai seems to be holding a medium-sized auction tomorrow!"

"Oh?" Xia Zhanhong immediately raised his head when he heard it.

Uncle Cheng shook his head slightly: "Linglongzhai's medium-sized auction, invitations are only sent to families above medium-sized, or masters who have been famous for a long time and above, and will not invite the Xia family..."

Mo Zixuan showed a smile and said, "Although Linglongzhai won't invite the Xia family, he must send invitations to the Zhao family! With the relationship between Zhan Hong and Zhao Xiang, it's not easy to enter together."

"That's true!" Uncle Cheng responded, and then said in a deep voice: "Actually, even if I go, I don't have much hope. In a medium-sized auction, the chance of congenital-level pills appearing is too small!"

Xia Zhanhong said quietly: "Don't worry about it, you have to touch it, what if you bump into it!"

After these words, Xia Zhanhong stood up: "If that's the case, I'll go back first! Zixuan, go back and prepare the materials for thirty ten-linked crossbows and a thousand Tongmai pills as soon as possible. I have to refine them in advance." come out!"

Mo Zixuan got up and came to Xia Zhanhong, exhaling like blue: "The things have been prepared for a long time, and I will send them to your house in a while... But this time the total amount is 17 blue crystals, in your hands... "

"My sister has already prepared the money for the materials!" Xia Zhanhong couldn't help being a little intoxicated feeling the bursts of sweet breath entering his nose, and subconsciously increased his breathing while talking.

Noticing Xia Zhanhong's change, Mo Zixuan's expression was a little shy, but there was a burst of sweetness in her heart.

After bidding farewell to Mo Zixuan and Uncle Cheng, Xia Zhanhong left the Qizhenyibao Pavilion and went straight to Zhao's house.

By the time he hired a carriage and rushed all the way to Zhao Mansion, the sun had already risen.Xia Zhanhong had just walked to the gatehouse, and before he opened the door to enter, he heard a creaking sound, the gate of Zhao Mansion opened, and Zhao Xiang walked out from it.

"Brother!" As soon as he stepped out of the gate, Zhao Xiang saw Xia Zhanhong at a glance, yelled, stepped forward quickly, and grabbed his shoulders: "I just wanted to go to your house to look for you, but I didn't expect you to arrive first ! You won the first place in this competition, and you were promoted to be the deputy commander-in-chief! Let's go to Ruifu Building to celebrate!" As he said, he burst into laughter.

Xia Zhanhong gently pushed away the hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "I'll talk about the celebration later, let's get down to business now!"

"Oh?" Zhao Xiang's expression changed when he heard the words, and his laughing expression disappeared immediately: "Brother, what's the matter!"

Xia Zhanhong said: "Linglongzhai will hold a medium-sized auction tomorrow, and I must have sent invitations to your family. How about you take me there tomorrow?"

When Zhao Xiang heard this, he smiled wryly, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother! I can't help you this time! One invitation can be entered by two people. Originally, this auction was for me to go, but yesterday, My fourth uncle snatched away the invitation and said he would bring her confidante there..."

"Ugh!" Zhao Xiang's fourth uncle's ice-like expression suddenly appeared in Xia Zhanhong's mind, and he murmured, "Your fourth uncle's confidante..."

Zhao Xiang nodded and said: "Yeah! I'm also surprised, just like his ice lump, the confidante he's looking for won't be another..." As he spoke, two lumps of ice appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but beat I shivered.

After a while, Xia Zhanhong let out a long breath: "Huh~ It seems that we can only use the white jade peony first..."

At this time, Zhao Xiang also recovered from the fantasy of the two ice lumps, and asked softly: "Brother, do you need something urgently, if my family has it..."

Before Zhao Xiang finished speaking, Xia Zhanhong said, "I urgently need a congenital-level elixir now!"

"Ah!" Zhao Xiang was taken aback, then shook his head with a bitter face and said: "Even if I didn't ask, my family doesn't have much of the things you mentioned, and they are all used by the elders at the most important time, and I can't get them out! "

After a short pause, Zhao Xiang continued: "Brother, in fact, if you go to the medium-sized auction in Linglongzhai, you can't find innate-level elixir, and this thing can only be found in large-scale auctions! Or... you You can find Lord Ji Chen, there must be a lot of innate medicine in the hands of the royal family!"

"Forget it! If you don't have it, you don't have it!" Xia Zhanhong shook his head with a smile, and said to Zhao Xiang: "Brother Zhao, I will send me the materials from the Qizhen Treasure Pavilion in a while. I have to go home first. Do you want to come with me?" Together.

Seeing Xia Zhanhong's normal expression, Zhao Xiang also laughed: "That's natural, let's go now, and we will arrive at your house just in time for dinner. Sister Yubing's craftsmanship is better than that of the master chef in Ruifulou. Let's celebrate!"

After saying this, Zhao Xiang waved towards the distance, and a carriage drove over and stopped in front of the two of them.

The carriage went all the way to Xia's house. In the carriage, Zhao Xiang said with a smile: "Zheng Gong, Qian Ning, and especially Zhou Yong are all the most promising outstanding figures in this generation. You can beat them to win the first place... ...Brother, you have become famous in the capital this time!"

Xia Zhanhong smiled slightly, and asked softly: "This time, three of the four major families in the capital participated in the selection of leaders! Brother Zhao, why didn't your family send anyone to participate?"

Zhao Xiang sighed, and said: "I wanted to participate, but the ancestor said that my high-level cultivation in the martial arts school, even if I go there, I can't compete with others, and I will lose face to the Zhao family for nothing, so I won't let me go!"

Xia Zhanhong nodded silently, and said nothing more, Zhao Xiang seemed to be thinking about something, but didn't make a sound, and the carriage fell into silence for a while.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at Xia's house. As soon as the two of them entered the door, a servant greeted them: "Master, you are back! Not long after you left in the morning, someone sent an invitation card!" The scarlet invitation was handed over.

"Oh?" Xia Zhanhong took the invitation card, and saw the three characters "Linglongzhai" on it at a glance.

"Invitation card from Linglongzhai!" After being slightly taken aback, Xia Zhanhong immediately beamed with joy.Open the invitation and look at it carefully, and it turns out that you are invited to participate in tomorrow's auction.

"Brother! This is called turning around!" Zhao Xiang laughed and said, "Take me with you tomorrow, I want to see with my own eyes what my fourth uncle's confidante looks like!"
