After a few crisp silences, the originally noisy Zuihonglou gradually became quiet. The dancers in the lobby downstairs retreated one after another, and the musicians who played the music also became quiet.
Luo Junyao leaned against the window and glanced over. There seemed to be many more guests downstairs, and many of the closed windows of the rooms on the second floor had also been opened. It was just that the windows were all dark, and it was impossible to see clearly the people sitting inside.
Who are they?
In the center of the lobby downstairs, there was an additional person on the stage where the dancers were dancing. The person was in his early forties, dressed as a scholar, and looked gentle and elegant.
The man bowed his hands to the guests upstairs and downstairs, and said with a smile: "Welcome all distinguished guests to take the time to attend tonight's grand gathering. The conditions here are simple. If there is any slightness, please forgive me."
"After saying that, he bowed his hands to everyone again, and the etiquette was very thoughtful.
The people present here were all people in the world, and they didn't care about these etiquettes. Instead, they all urged him to take out the treasure to open their eyes.
The man didn't care, and with a smile on his face, he ordered the person to present the first item for tonight's auction.
The first auction item is a sword. For people in the world, a sharp weapon is indeed a rare treasure.
In Zuihonglou, the atmosphere became warm instantly.
Naturally, neither Luo Junyao nor Xie Yan was interested in a sword. Luo Junyao just took a condescending look at the appearance of the sword and gave up.
"How is it?" Luo Junyao looked at Xie Yan and Qu Fang and asked.
Xie Yan said: "He is indeed from Luanyi Division."
Luo Junyao lay on the table and said curiously: "The people in Luanyi Division are so leisurely and relaxed."
Now the main force of Luanyi Division is in southern Xinjiang. Now they are not dealing with Luo Jinyan and Lingchuan Marquis in southern Xinjiang, but they went to Wanhu City to hold an auction?
Qu Fang said: "The princess should be surprised that they are so well-informed."
There is not much time left before Cao Mian is arrested. Luan Yisi can receive the news thousands of miles away, complete the preparations for the auction, summon so many martial arts masters, and other trivial matters.
Luo Junyao shrugged and said, "There's nothing strange about this. I guess the people from Luanyi Division already knew about it when we were still at sea. As for Wanhu City... is there really nothing strange about this city?"
Xie Yan said helplessly: "No."
"Then why did you choose this place in the first place?" Luo Junyao asked.
Xie Yan said: "This is the closest to Qingzhou and the most convenient."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Perhaps the people in Luanyi Division don't care where the auction is held, and they just decided to hold it here because Cao Mian was imprisoned here by you?"
"Maybe." Xie Yan said.
While the three of them were talking, the sword downstairs had been snapped up for fifty thousand taels.
Luo Junyao couldn't help but sighed and said: "People in the world are really rich."
The second auction item had already started below. There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the three people who were talking were stopped at the same time.
"Dong dong dong." After three knocks on the door, Duixing went over and opened the door of the wing.
There were two people standing outside the door, a man and a woman. The woman Luo Junyao knew among them was Yao Fu.
The man was in his mid-thirties, tall, handsome and handsome.
"Your Highness the Regent, Princess, please excuse me." Yao Fu smiled at Xie Yan and Luo Junyao inside.
Luo Junyao waved to her, "Master Yao."
"Overlapping shadow." Xie Yan said solemnly.
Duoying understood, and immediately took two steps back to make way for the door, inviting the two of them to enter.
The two people who entered the door naturally saw the three people sitting in the room. The man's eyes slowly passed over Xie Yan and Qu Fang, but he did not speak.
Yao Fu smiled and said: "It is a great honor to meet the regent and the princess today. My Excellency, Yao Fu, this is..."
Xie Yan said: "I know the leader of Lei Sect."
Yao Fu smiled and said: "That's right. I heard that the Regent and Master Lei Clan had a discussion four years ago, so I don't need to introduce them."
Luo Junyao was a little surprised. Although she knew that the person who came with Yao Fu would not be a mediocre person, she did not expect that this person turned out to be Lei Yunmu, the leader of the Lei Sect.
It is said that this person competed with Xie Yan in the border town four years ago and lost by only one move. He is a master among masters.
Xie Yan nodded towards Lei Yunmu, who silently raised his hand towards him and turned his gaze to Qu Fang.
"This is Qu Fang, Mr. Qu." Xie Yan said.
"Mobei Divine Sword." Lei Yunmu said.
Yao Fu looked at Qu Fang in surprise. Although Mobei Divine Sword had retired from the world for many years, it still had a good reputation.
Unexpectedly, such a master would submit to the imperial court.
"You two, please take a seat." Xie Yan said.
Yao Fu and Lei Yunmu sat down, and no one seemed to be interested in the auction downstairs.
Qin Yao'er, on the other hand, was lying by the window looking down with great interest. She was not interested in what they were going to talk about.
"Lei Sect Master and I took the liberty of coming here to disturb you. Do you know why, Prince and Princess?" Lei Yunmu obviously didn't like to talk, so Yao Fu spoke on his behalf.
Xie Yan said: "After tonight's auction, do you have anything else to do?"
Yao Fu smiled and said: "It seems that even though His Royal Highness the Regent is well-informed, there are still things he doesn't know about?"
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and Yao Fu stopped laughing and said: "It's not surprising that the prince doesn't know, because... except for the person who received the news, no one else will know about this matter. And the person who received the news also
The news will never be leaked, not even the people closest to them will know about it. If I hadn't had a good relationship with the Lei Sect leader, I probably wouldn't have known that he had received the news."
Xie Yan looked at the two people sitting opposite him and said: "So you two happen to be one of them, and you two decided to share the news with me?"
"That's right." Yao Fu sighed: "This is not a good place to share news, but we just learned about this news. If we don't tell the prince now, it might be too late."
"All ears." Xie Yan gestured to Dieying, who nodded and turned to go out the door.
Yao Fu smiled, took out a small post from her sleeve and handed it over.
Xie Yan took it and opened it, looking calm when he saw the contents above.
Luo Junyao went over to take a look and saw a simple line of handwriting on the post... All the proceeds from tonight's auction and copies of the treasure map will belong to the person who obtains the head of the Regent of Dasheng."
As if to echo this superior condition, the second auction item downstairs was sold for 110,000 taels.
Luo Junyao's eyes were bright, the people in Luanyi Division were really interesting.
"How many people have received this post?" Luo Junyao asked.
Yao Fu smiled and said: "In addition to me and Master Lei Sect, there are six others."
"What are the selection criteria?"
Yao Fu said: "A top expert, loves money, has great power, and is not afraid of the court. And...probably they are not from a well-known family." Including Lei Yunmu and Yao Fu, they are not from a well-known family.
Yao Fu is both good and evil in the world, so both black and white have to give her some face.
And Lei Yunmu's Leimen is one of the largest organizations in the world. He was once defeated by Xie Yan. In the eyes of the people in Luanyi Division, they obviously don't belong to the same group as Xie Yan.
"Now that all the masters of the green forest and underworld in the world are in this building, they may not be afraid of the identity of the regent. I wonder what your plans are?" Yao Fu said with a smile.
