three hundred and fourteen
Mu Qinglan went all the way to the imperial capital. Instead of following the official road, they always chose some rugged and remote paths.
In this way, we can try to avoid some trouble.
Although mu Qinglan is not afraid, he doesn''t want to cause too much trouble and delay the plan.
And boss Lei and Liu Kaixuan are behind with half dead Li Hongfei.
When Yan grew old, he almost died. Fortunately, he acted fast enough.
Before leaving, Yan Lao specially alleviated Li Hongfei''s injury so that he could reach the imperial capital alive.
They also left jade slips for communication on each other. Once you encounter something, you can contact as soon as possible.
After walking for a few days, they finally left the frontier and entered a relatively lively and prosperous territory.
However, the three were very low-key, and dressed up, they had a safe trip.
"San Shao, go further and you will find Hongfeng city."
Perhaps it was because he had fled from Jiuge to the imperial capital. Along the way, Jiangda was very familiar with the road conditions.
This also facilitates mu Qinglan.
At this time, the three had just walked out of a forest path. Hearing what Jiangda said, mu Qinglan immediately looked up and saw a city in the distance.
What attracts people''s attention is that a fiery red can be seen in the city, which is very bright and beautiful.
"San Shao, the most famous thing in this red Maple City is their feather red maple. This kind of tree is very strange. Its branches and leaves can be used as medicine and have excellent curative effect. It can not only restore strength, but also be good for injury recuperation. And the most attractive thing is the fruit of the red maple. I heard that feather red maple can only bear fruit once in ten years. This fruit contains a lot of essence and is a rare treasure.
Mu Qinglan picked her eyebrows.
"Oh? It seems that this feather red maple is really a treasure. The name of Hongfeng city must come from this? "
Her eyes coagulated slightly and smiled.
"I think they have a lot of red plums in the city! They are really enviable for sitting on such natural materials and land treasures. "
"Three little, you don''t know. Although there are many Yuhong maples in Hongfeng City, most of them belong to powerful families. It is difficult for ordinary people to want them. When each feather red maple is about to bear fruit, many people will be sent around to guard until the fruit is ripe. Of course, the last fruits were also sent into the hands of the major forces in the city. "
Mu Qinglan nodded. The red maple fruit is a good thing. It''s normal for those people to value it so much.
Suddenly she thought of something. She looked at Zhao Qingshan next to her.
"Castle Peak, you said red maple fruit. Is it useful for the residual poison in your body?"
Zhao Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with some uncertainty: "this, this subordinate is not very clear..."
Mu Qinglan is a hook in the corner of her lips.
"Isn''t it useful? Just give it a try?"
"San Shao, what do you mean --" Zhao Qingshan and Jiang Da both guessed what mu Qinglan thought, and immediately looked at each other, surprised.
Jiang Dayuan frowned slightly: "San Shao, the people in Yuhong Maple City attach great importance to the fruit. If you want to get it, you must give them a satisfactory price. "
Mu Qinglan blinked and thought about it.
"Money... I seem to have a little more. It shouldn''t be a problem to buy a fruit?"
Although she was penniless when she was driven out by the Mu family, Xia Yinyin and Mu Yan later supported her, and there were tens of millions of gold coins.
Zhao Qingshan hurriedly said, "three young men, my subordinates are humble. It''s really not worth your trouble..."
Mu Qinglan raised his index finger and shook it gently.
"Compared with your life, money is outside your body."
Zhao Qingshan choked in his throat and was speechless.
Mu Qinglan has raised her feet and walked forward.
"Besides, even if you don''t have money, you can auction something casually. Won''t you have it?"
…
Mu Qinglan entered the Red Maple City.
At first glance, there is no difference between here and other places, but when you look up, you will see patches of gorgeous red.
Mu Qinglan found that the Yuhong Maple that he thought was all over the city seemed to be raised in the same place.
It seems that you can look up and see it easily anywhere in the field, but in fact, it''s difficult to get closer.
"This red maple is actually kept in the middle of the city..."
Mu Qinglan coughed and felt a little unspeakable.
It''s like a child who gets a favorite baby and wants to be known all over the world and show off in the most conspicuous place.
However, it is obvious that those who dare to do so also have enough confidence to watch and hold the feather red maple.
At this time, mu Qinglan, who had changed their looks, looked like an ordinary young man, wandering around with two servants.
Walking to the busiest street, the crowd gathered and rubbed against each other. There were cries of Hawking everywhere, among which the most frequent and loudest was the word "feather Red Maple".
Mu Qinglan couldn''t laugh or cry. Looking at the stalls on both sides, almost every family had something related to Yu Hongfeng.
Some say it''s a pill refined from branches, others say it''s a medicinal wine brewed from leaves. In short, there''s everything.
They walked all the way, probably because their appearance and clothes looked very ordinary, so they didn''t pay much attention.
Some of them are very rich at first sight. Every time they walk past, several vendors rush up and try their best to sell their own things.
"It seems that the Red Maple City is really well-known. It has supported many people by this." Mu Qinglan joked.
Jiang Dayuan laughed: "three little, what you said is really right. People in the city don''t say. There are many people outside the city who come here for this feather red maple. If you have no money, you only choose some branches and leaves. If you have money, you go for the red maple fruit. "
Mu Qinglan knows clearly.
"It seems that this red maple fruit is not a popular one..."
It seems that after hearing mu Qinglan''s words, a vendor next to the three suddenly looked up at them, looked up and down, and asked:
"You also want the red maple fruit?"
Mu Qinglan smiled.
"People here should all want red maple fruit?"
The vendor turned his mouth, turned over the stall in front of him and said:
"I advise you to give up! This red maple fruit is absolutely impossible for you to get! "
Mu Qinglan said "Oh".
"Why do you say that?"
The vendor didn''t look up.
"It seems you don''t know yet? This year''s red maple fruit, only three! There are so many people who want it. Where can I get you? "
Mu Qinglan''s heart jumped.
Only three?
How is that possible? At a glance, there are at least thousands of red maple trees. Even if they bear fruit once a decade, there are hundreds of them every year. How could it be so few?
"Hi! What did I lie to you for? Everyone knows about it now! I don''t know what evil happened this year. Many red maple trees have died! In the past, it was able to produce more than 100 pieces every year. This year, it has shrunk all of a sudden! It makes it difficult for us to do business, alas! "
Mu Qinglan looked down. Sure enough, he saw some so-called red maple branches, some of which were dry and didn''t seem to be cut down fresh.
"What about money? I see, I can''t buy it with money this year! "
Mu Qinglan paused and asked, "have all three fruits been picked?"
"That''s not true! Just two days ago! I''m going to auction today! Want to go? OK, I''ll show you the way! " The vendor raised his hand at will and pointed in a certain direction, "see? Go straight ahead, it''s the only auction house in Hongfeng city! Maybe it''s about to start now! However, I remind you that every year today, if you want to enter the auction house, you have to pay a million gold coins first! "
Mu Qinglan smiled instead.
This auction house is also interesting. I really don''t miss every chance to make money.
Whether you can shoot it or not, you have to pay a million gold coins first. You can make a profit without losing.
To a certain extent, it also screened the people who entered it, and let them all have a consensus - those who can enter are not idle people and can''t be provoked easily.
So, it''s really killing the birds with one stone.
The more so, mu Qinglan became more interested.
"Go and have a look!"
Mu Qinglan said, and somehow a folding fan appeared in her hand. "Shua" opened and staggered forward.
Jiang Dayuan and Zhao Qingshan looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
It seems that the auction has aroused the interest of three young people.
According to the three little temperament, I''m afraid it''s going to be lively again.
Mu Qinglan didn''t turn back. He suddenly threw out a bag and accurately landed in front of the vendor.
"Thank you for reminding me! Take this money to buy wine! "
The vendor was stunned for a moment and quickly grabbed the bag in his hand. He looked at Xiang Mu Qinglan suspiciously, but he only saw the thin and tall back and walked away gradually.
He hesitated to open the bag and opened his eyes.
This, so much money!?
He immediately looked up, but the man had completely disappeared and disappeared in the stream of people.
The merchant was stunned, and then showed a trace of excitement and ecstasy.
And so much money?!
"I don''t know which childe''s brother is. He''s really rich..."
…
Of course, in Mu Qinglan''s eyes, that little money is nothing at all.
Looking at the two guards who looked serious and majestic, they admired Qinglan''s lips.
"A million gold coins to get in?"
The two guards only glanced at her, their faces unchanged, and said coldly:
"The three of you are three million gold coins!"
Oh, it''s really calculated according to the head.
Mu Qinglan wanted to laugh, but Zhao Qingshan and Jiang Da said in a low voice with some hesitation: "three little, we are really not worth spending so much money..."
Without blinking an eye, millions of gold coins disappeared. They worked in Jiuge all year round and couldn''t get much military pay. This number is astronomical for them.
The two guards had a look of contempt in their eyes, and the spear suddenly moved forward!
"If you have no money, leave as soon as possible! This is not where you can stay! "
The head of the gun almost crossed mu Qinglan''s forehead. However, mu Qinglan didn''t look frightened. Instead, he raised his chin slightly and looked at the two people with deep black eyes.
The two guards who looked in their eyes trembled.
The man in front of me looks very ordinary. Why are these eyes so terrible!
Like, like looking at ants!
The two guards frowned together and became angry with shame:
"Don''t leave quickly!"
Mu Qinglan''s lips were lifted, which was a three-point irony.
"Who said I had no money?"
The two guards stared at her suspiciously.
Look at the two attendants behind you. They look poor. Is it really your son?!
A guard snorted coldly:
"I told you just now, it''s three million gold coins!"
His eyes swept from mu Qinglan, disdainful in his eyes.
"Of course, if only you go in yourself, only a million gold coins. However, your two attendants have to wait outside! "
Mu Qinglan''s lips smiled deeply.
She blinked and spoke slowly:
"I haven''t known since I was a child. What is'' no money ''?"
As the imperial capital, mu Qinglan''s brother and sister have been favored since childhood. They have never worried about money.
Even on their 12th birthday, Xiashang auction house took the initiative to send two black gold cards.
Although mu Qinglan doesn''t care that she is said to have no money, she hates people talking to her with such a perfunctory and contemptuous attitude!
She moved her fingertips and a purple gold card appeared in her hand.
"Although this is not a Xia Shang auction house, you can swipe your card, right?"
Mu Qinglan shook the card in his hand, and the purple and gold light was almost dazzling.
The two guards changed their faces!
Is it the purple gold card of Xiashang auction house?
Isn''t that the talent who was honored as the guest of honor by the Xia Shang auction house?
This looks like an ordinary man. Why——
Mu Qinglan still smiled on her face, but she couldn''t bear it in the corners of her eyes.
"Now, can I and my people go in?"
