Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 511: Facing a Familiar Face
In the middle of the day, Tang Xiu met the happy Li Laoshan, but what made Tang Xiu confused whether to laugh or cry was the entire large parade of Li Laoshan consisting of 16 bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses, who greeted and escorted him only when he came to the entrance of the hotel. The scene was so strange that it caught the attention of many people, thinking that there was a movie being made!
"Sister Li, can you at least be humble?"
Tang Xiu, who was wearing casual clothes with a duckbill hat, added large sunglasses on his face. Dressing like that was mainly due to what happened in the morning, when she accompanied her aunt, Tang Min, to take a shopping walk. At that moment, he had to go through a bitter experience surrounded by many people. After all, this time was completely different from the previous days. First, it was because of a recording of him singing while playing the zither at a Shanghai University freshman welcoming party, and secondly was due to his identity as a young celestial doctor who provided medical services at Star City Chinese Medical Hospital, which resulted in him becoming a celebrity .
No, it's not entirely accurate!
She was now even hotter than a celebrity! Because everyone, be it an 80-year-old or a teenager, always welcomes him as long as they can recognize him, ask for his signature and ask to take a picture together. Moreover, the number was too large to count.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it, Brother Tang," Li Laoshan said with a smile. "I brought the Yuchang Sword with me, so I was afraid that people with crooked minds would come after that! By the way, you're the one who makes me feel weird. Why do you look like this? If I'm not used to you, I really won't be able to recognize you. ”
"But I don't like the fact that my appearance isn't low enough," Tang Xiu forced a smile. “I have been running in difficult situations every time I go outside since the footage of me providing medical services at Star City Medical Hospital was uploaded to the internet. There is always someone who knows me every time I go out. I really wish I could go to country H and have facial plastic surgery or something. ”
"Hahaha ..." Li Laoshan laughed. “I did watch the footage of you providing medical services at China Star City Medical Hospital. I like it so much! Especially about the dialogue saying that you are going to donate money; it touched my heart. This old friend of yours may be a layman when it comes to medical matters, but I also have a heart! Therefore, I donated 1 million yuan to the Chinese Star City Hospital relief fund. In addition, the website of the China Star City Medical Hospital just displayed their help fund page, and it was great. Fairly transparent. It is enough to make all donors with good intentions and intentions feel relieved. ”
"About that, it was an unintentional, honest intention," Tang Xiu said with a smile. “By the way, let's not talk about this anymore, okay? What about the upcoming underground auction? Where will it be held? "
“The place is in a very secret place, you will not be able to imagine. Okay, follow me! There are less than two hours of auction now. If we hurry, we can get there before 2 p.m. ”
Yongding River! It is one of the major tributaries in Beijing's Hai River system, as well as the largest river flowing through the city. And this underground auction will be held in this river.
“Sister Li, are you not wrong? Are we really going to take this small wooden boat to participate in that underground auction? ”On the edge of a certain part of the river, Tang Xiu put on a strange expression as he looked at the dozens of small wooden boats along with the black-clothed burly men in front of him. Tang Xiu's expression was in disbelief as he asked.
"What are you thinking? You never expected it, did you? ”Li Laoshan grinning. “Every underground auction is organized by Situ Family. This year's trick was equally impressive and did not disappoint me. Do you see the rowboat ahead? I know them, and they also came to participate in the auction. ”
Tang Xiu looked forward, as he nodded and sighed, "This is indeed impressive. The people from the Situ Family actually used their brains. Le's go! We might go straight to the auction place because we're already here. I'd really like to see it. ”
As Li Laoshan smiled faintly and walked shoulder to shoulder with Tang Xiu to board the ship, the guards there stopped them. A burly man then checked Li Laoshan's invitation and said, “Master. Li, you can only bring three people. ”
"I know!" Li Laoshan nodded and boarded the boat together with Tang Xiu. He moved two bodyguards to board as well, and then the ship moved towards the far side of the river.
About ten minutes later, the scene of the action finally entered Tang Xiu's gaze. He looked far into the wide river channel. There was a half meter tall platform that had been temporarily built on the surface of the river. It was surrounded by rows of boats on its four corners, each of which was tied with iron chains, while the two of them marched to the shore.
"Brother Li, seeing this spectacle is somewhat making me dizzy," Tang Xiu said as he shook his head. He looked at the loss as he could not help but comment while sighing.
Li Laoshan himself felt somewhat new as he chuckled and replied, “This is indeed interesting. Look at those ships. Many people there looked familiar, and some of them were acquaintances. By the way, we're going to be late there, so I'm afraid we should take a back seat. But it's okay. It will not affect our offer. ”
"I followed you just to take a look around and see the financial resources contest between you and the person trying to get your Yuchang Sword. "Tang Xiu shook his head. “In addition, this auction will probably not have many useful items for me. In any case, if the funds you set up are not enough, I can lend you. ”
"Ah, you're kidding me, Brother Tang. "Li Laoshan couldn't help but laugh and smile. "Although Tang Magnificent you may have made a lot of money recently, there are still a lot of places that will need your money, so forget about lending me. Relax! I have prepared enough funds at this time. If it exceeds the budget I prepared, then I can still sell the Yuchang Sword at a high price. ”
"Are you really giving up?" Tang Xiu asked with a slightly flashing expression.
Giving her a thumbs up, Tang Xiu praised her, "For Big Brother Li to be able to let her go, you are truly a good-spirited person. Too bad there's no wine now. Or else I'll offer you a toast as a sign of my respect. ”
With a strange smile, Li Laoshan replied, "Who said there is no wine? I dare say that someone will send us wine in less than three minutes. Do you believe that?"
“Someone will send us wine? Did ya? ”Ask Tang Xiu, surprised.
While pointing at some of the rowboats, Li Laoshan smilingly said, "Did you see them? The ships had to give tea, wine, and delicious dishes to the guests who came. The people of the Situ Family have something in common, that is, they try to get along with everyone and get their help, as well as pay attention to everything related. I heard that every underground auction made the guests feel at home. ”
As he said, a small rowboat approached their boat a few minutes later. After a strong man tied his rope, he cupped his fists to the group of four Li Laoshan and said, “We welcome you at this Beijing Auction. Also, Situ Situ Situ we are currently inventorying the items to be auctioned. If you also intend to auction something, you can take the registration form from me and give me the item. Then you will be asked whether you want to sell it or not after the item is appraised … "
Li Laoshan took out a rectangular wooden box from his guard and handed it to the powerful man. He filled out the form and signed an agreement entrusting the item to the other party before he took the tea and wine handed over by the man. Along with that is a tray filled with fruit bowls, desserts, and some other delicacies.
“Settings set by Situ Family are indeed good. It's just that I've also heard of a big family in Beijing, but how could I never hear about the Situ Family among them? "Ask Tang Xiu in a whisper after the other party left.
"The Situ Family was part of the Invisibility Sect, and they only had a few clans. Even if the Situ Family had extraordinary wealth and had deep networks and connections, their families had never been involved in politics. Moreover, they always did not show themselves, so they were not famous. But never underestimate them. I dare say that a middle-class family in Beijing might be more or less the same as the Situ Family. ”
"They're that strong?" Tang Xiu's comment, was shocked.
“For families who have been operating for 100 years, they have a very deep foundation; situ Family itself has been in the business for over 100 years. Rumor has it that this family hid their existence during a tumultuous time, which greatly prevented the loss of the family. The swift tide of reform time also did not have much impact on this family. Therefore, never underestimate the Situ Family, ” explained Li Laoshan.
As he spoke there, Li Laoshan lowered his voice and continued, “Sister Tang, you yourself are a martial artist, he said, so you should know that these families have more than just the wealth they have, am I right? There was another big factor here, which was the number and strength of martial artists in their family. And I heard that the Situ Family is also one of the great families built on the foundation of martial arts. Every member of the family is a top martial arts expert. ”
“The guy just had a rather good ability. Maybe you are just a little weaker than him, Big Brother Li, ” Tang Xiu said with a nod.
"Ah, don't mention me, Brother Tang. I know my abilities are inadequate and even embarrassing! ”Li Laoshan looks shy. “In normal times, I could barely deal with the little thugs, but I would definitely be knocked down with three fists and two kicks if I met a true expert. ”
Tang Xiu only gave a faint smile in response.
Time passed, and 14:00 finally arrived. The more ships that came, the number was over 100. In other words, there were at least 100 guests attending the auction this time.
"It's almost time," Li Laoshan said as he touched Tang Xiu's arm after he saw a woman in a deep red-colored coat, leather boots, leather boots, and clothes stepped onto the platform built in the middle of the river.
Tang looked ahead and his expression suddenly became blank.
"How could he be here?"
Tang Xiu rubbed his eyes and was finally convinced that his eyes had not betrayed him. The woman dressed in red was Ouyang Lulu.
However, his astonishment was not over yet, as there were others he never imagined would appear here. That person was someone he knew very well. Which he used to hate, feel hostile towards, and hope he can hit him.
"Brother Tang, my enemy is coming," Li Laoshan said in a low voice as he touched Tang Xiu's arm.
