"What? His Royal Highness is here too? Is that rumor true?"

"What rumour?"

"I also heard from my friends that there will be a legendary green steel sword in the store here. I don't know if it's true or not."

"What? The green steel sword! Is it the green steel sword that cut iron like mud used by the god of war Zhao Zilong hundreds of years ago?"

"Of course, if there is no second green steel sword in this world, then it should be this one."

"Even selling this magical weapon, is its owner out of his mind?"

"Who knows, maybe it's a fake."

Hearing this passage, Li Xiao suddenly realized.

He finally knew why Li Chengqian came here in person.

But even if you want to buy a sword, you can just send someone here, so why risk yourself?

"Your Highness, do we want to participate? I didn't bring much money with me when I went out this time, so there is still time to get it back now." Li Junxian asked after thinking about it.

"Yes, Your Highness, this kind of ancient magic weapon is rare, why don't you ask your subordinates to go to the restaurant to get money!" Zhao Yuntian said excitedly.

Hearing this, Li Xiao said angrily: "What rubbish ancient magic weapon? The sword I gave you is definitely no worse than this green steel sword!"

"Your Excellency has such a big tone!"

Suddenly, a group of people came from the front.

A few strong men in black exercise uniforms looked at Li Xiao and the others angrily.

The leader is a middle-aged man with sharp eyes, and looks very capable.

He only heard him say in a deep voice: "Where do you come from? Why are you so unfamiliar?"

Chapter 179: Li Xiao: My name is Changsun Wudi

"Chong!"

Zhao Yuntian had already drawn his sword and stood in front of Li Xiao, saying in a deep voice, "You don't care where we come from, if you don't want to die, get out!"

"Dare to do it?"

Several strong men behind the middle-aged man also drew their weapons.

For a time, the smell of gunpowder was full.

"We are the law enforcement team here, I advise you to put away your weapons!"

The middle-aged man first reached out his hand to stop his subordinates, looking at Zhao Yuntian with a deep sense of danger.

"Old Zhao, put away the knife."

Li Xiao gave some instructions, and then asked, "Are you from the Baibi Gang?"

"Huh?" The middle-aged man looked at Li Xiao suspiciously, "Since you know, then cooperate with me. Which power do you belong to?"

"Wait a minute."

Li Xiao looked surprised, pointed at the people wearing bamboo hats and said, "Everyone here is hiding their identities. If I remember correctly, the rules here are secret transactions."

"Rules? Hehe..."

The middle-aged man sneered: "Our law enforcement team's words are the rules!"

"Don't think I didn't hear it, just now you were the ones who secretly slandered my Baibi Gang and ruined the reputation of the Baibi Gang. Could it be that you are here to make trouble from the Berserk Gang?!"

"It's not us who said that your Baibi Gang is selling fake products." Li Xiao looked innocent, and then pointed to Li Chengqian and his party in the distance, "They said it, and I heard it too."

"Not you?"

The middle-aged man looked puzzled, glanced at Li Chengqian, then looked at Li Xiao and continued: "I just said that the green steel sword is a weapon that is not as shabby as yours, did you say that?"

"Just tell the truth, is there a problem? Just because of this you want to check our identities?" Li Xiao said speechlessly.

"How dare you speak wild words! I have now confirmed that you are here to make trouble! Quickly report your name!" The middle-aged man looked cold and said in a deep voice.

"Are you sure you want to know my identity?"

"Could it be that speaking out will scare us to death? Hehe..."

The corner of Li Xiao's mouth curled up, and he opened his mouth: "My name is Changsun Wudi..."

"Eldest grandson!"

Hearing these two words, the middle-aged man was startled, and quickly cupped his fists at Li Xiao: "It's so offending, my lord, don't take offense!"

"let's go!"

In an instant, the middle-aged man walked away with a group of people.

"This TM..."

Li Xiao's face was tired.

Although he managed to scare away the group of people, he was not happy at all.

Just a surname, is there such a big deterrent?

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiao saw the members of the law enforcement team walking towards Li Chengqian.

He quickly took a few people to find a seat not far behind Li Chengqian and sat down, waiting for the good show to start.

He thought he could cause Li Chengqian some trouble.

But when Li Chengqian's subordinates took out an unknown token, the law enforcement team was so frightened that they apologized repeatedly, and finally left in despair.

"It's really boring."

Li Xiao looked disappointed.

"Your Highness." Zhao Yuntian asked in a low voice, "Aren't we here to subdue the Baibi Gang? Why are we hiding our identities?"

"Your Highness probably wants to investigate the situation of the Wanqi Hall, and then decide whether to forcefully subdue it or discuss it."

Li Junxian said thoughtfully.

"Uncle Li still understands me." Li Xiao nodded.

I don't know how long it has passed, someone suddenly came over and handed Li Junxian a sign.

"If you participate in the bidding, you can raise your placard to make an offer."

The person who came seemed to be a staff member here, leaving only one sentence before issuing tokens to others.

"Your Highness, 87." Li Junxian picked up the sign and saw "87" written on it.

Li Xiao nodded: "Interesting, it's quite professional."

Soon, countless braziers lit up in the center of the platform in the middle of the field.

An old man who seemed to be the host stood in the middle and shouted: "The auction is about to start, please confirm the money you brought again."

"It's still the old rules. During the auction, don't make noise, don't reveal your identity, don't touch your hands, don't lie about the price..."

After that, there is a series of rules.

Then, the auction begins.

All they brought up for sale were some military armor and antiques, and Li Xiao couldn't arouse the slightest interest.

After waiting for a long time, the Qinggang Sword finally appeared.

"Everyone!"

The old man also had a little excitement on his face, and shouted loudly: "The auction items that will be released next are extraordinary!"

"Shenbing Qingsteel Sword!"

"It's origin, I don't think I need to waste my words, everyone should know it."

"This sword has been specially tested and is extremely sharp. Even a well-crafted armor can be easily broken in front of it."

"If you are a swordsman, with this artifact, you can at least double your combat power."

"If you happen to want to participate in the martial arts, don't hesitate, buy it immediately, and use it to shine in the martial arts, and even win the first prize, soaring to the sky!"

After speaking, many people who came to the auction were very excited.

Obviously, most people came for the Qinggang sword.

Li Xiao looked at the green steel sword, and asked suspiciously: "Uncle Li, can you bring your own weapons in the martial arts competition?"

"Your Highness." Li Junxian explained in a low voice, "Martial arts exams have a literary test and a military test, which test the knowledge of military tactics and martial arts skills. At the end, there is an actual combat competition, and each part will be scored by a special person."

"But there is no doubt that the final actual combat competition will occupy the bulk of the points."

"There are no restrictions on actual combat. No matter what method is used, as long as you can win, you are basically the default martial arts champion."

"I see."

Li Xiao suddenly realized.

This kind of setting basically has no chance for ordinary people.

At this point the auction continues.

Someone has asked for 8 taels of silver.

"10 taels!"

Without even thinking about it, Li Xiao directly raised the sign.

"No. 87 bid 10 taels!" The old man shouted excitedly.

"Your Highness, we only brought a few thousand taels..." Zhao Yuntian said speechlessly.

"It's okay, I don't plan to buy it anyway."

The corner of Li Xiao's mouth curled up, and he looked towards Li Chengqian in the distance.

Hearing that someone offered 10 taels, Li Chengqian frowned slightly and looked over.

After hesitating for a moment, he raised his placard and continued to bid.

"No. 32 offers 11 taels!" The old man continued to shout.

No. 32 is Li Chengqian's brand.

"15 taels!"

Li Xiao raised his sign again.

"Oh my god! He bid again on the 87th! 15 taels! Is there a higher price?!"

The old man was really surprised by Li Xiao's generous handwriting.

Not only the old man, but also the audience below were shocked.

"It's crazy! A sword was actually sold for 15 taels of silver, which is probably enough to buy a county town!"

"There are a lot of rich people in the capital, and I don't know who is so rich."

"What do you know, didn't you hear what the old man said? If you can buy this sword, you have a great chance of winning the first prize in this martial arts competition. If you want to compare this, what is a little money?"

"Yes, I heard that the prince's people also came to buy the sword this time. I guess they want to use this sword to train their own people!"

Everyone was talking.

"Silence! Silence!"

The old man frowned and shouted: "Is there anyone else who bid higher?!"

At this time.

Li Chengqian frowned and whispered something in the ear of the guard beside him.

The guard immediately got up, put a large bag of gold on the ground with its mouth open, and shouted: "There are 11 taels in total here!"

"We suspect that No. 87 doesn't have that much silver at all!"

"If there is, let him trade it face to face!"
