Chapter 58: The Beginning of the Spring Auction

Chapter 58 May 8: The beginning of spring auction

With the publicity in full swing, the spring auction day of the Three Sessions is getting closer.

The number of foreign forces coming to Kunpeng City has also increased significantly recently.

Including the three major gangs in the North, Longxiang Temple, Yanglong Temple, and Blood Knife Sect, all sent people to come.

"Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen."

Last night, a spring rain fell quietly, completely dispelling the cold weather.

The spring rain is as moist as oil, and farmers should have a good harvest this year.

Stepping on the early morning rain and dew, countless people walked out of their homes with tens of thousands of dollars in their pockets.

In the backyard of Lao Yu's Baozi Shop in Nancheng, Baozi Xishi had tears on her face, lowered her head and said nothing, with a bruise on her face.

Seeing that my husband, whom I have been with day and night for more than a year, is now an extremely unfamiliar person, I feel confused for a moment.

Lao Yu is sharpening his knife in the sand, carefully and meticulously, just like the buns he makes.

Outside the door stood a short, stocky man with triangular eyes.

It seems to be alert, but in fact it is defensive.

Lao Yu saw that the bright smile that had been on his wife's face all day disappeared, and was replaced by tears. He also felt a little regretful in his heart, "Madam, what happened last night was because of my husband. I shouldn't have done anything to you."

He reached out to touch the lady's face, but she backed away timidly.

Lao Yu simply took back his hand and said in a cold tone: "I promise you, husband, this is the last time. After this time, I will take you far away. We will go to a warm place inland to Runjing. We will never have to spend the whole day again."

By selling steamed buns, I will definitely help you live the life of a rich wife."

Hearing this, Baozi Xishi finally raised her head and said timidly: "...You know, I have never prayed for the life of a rich wife. I only hope to live a small life in peace. If you...can't come back, what should I do?

How to live?"

Lao Yu was silent for a moment, glanced at the triangular eyes outside the door, and used the sharpening water to write on the table.

He said in his mouth: "I have been waiting for this opportunity for so long. If I don't want to waste my whole life, I have to go. It will be fine. Don't worry. I promise you that I will come back."

The triangular-eyed man outside the door was listening with his ears pricked up. When he heard the words, he curled his lips, sneered in his heart, and looked disdainful.

After speaking, Lao Yu suddenly put away his knife and strode out of the house.

The expression on the triangular-eyed face dropped, and he followed closely.

Baozi Xishi felt anxious and hurried to the door, "Master..."

Lao Yu paused in his steps.

"Come back safely, I'll wait for you at home."

Lao Yu didn't turn around, just nodded slightly, and walked away quickly again.

It wasn't until no one could be seen that Baozi Xishi wiped away her tears, walked to the table, and looked at the words that were already dry with water marks.

From a luxurious courtyard in the city, luxury carriages drove out.

The emblem on these carriages is a moonlight lion that glows in the night, which is the family emblem of the King of Heaven in the North. The carriages drove through the morning raindrops and headed straight to a house somewhere in the city.

When they came to the door, the door of the house opened from the middle, and an old housekeeper walked out.

"Your Highness, what a coincidence. Miss received a secret report from the Lantern Division last night and had already left early to perform her mission. She is not at home today."

A clear voice came from the carriage, "In such a hurry to leave, Yemei still doesn't want to see me. It doesn't matter, I just happened to see something at the spring auction today, which is particularly suitable for Yemei. Housekeeper, please remember to tell Yemei that I

Will come to visit again some day.”

"Yes, I will definitely bring it to you."

In Guishou Hall, Huang Henian stood in the somewhat empty courtyard, looking towards the west city.

"Master, today is the Spring Auction of the Three Sessions, and there will probably be a fight between dragons and tigers. Why don't we go to the scene and have a look?" Cheng Lin walked out from behind.

Huang Henian said: "What to do?"

"Since the three major chambers of commerce dare to put that thing up for auction, they must be fully prepared. Even those who covet it should wait until the auction is over before taking any action. Our purpose is not here, so don't pay attention."

"yes."

This day.

Li Sui'an also got up early.

Daily practice.

Practice in a low-key manner and practice consistently.

Only a strong self is the right path!

With the help of sufficient spiritual food, the progress of the fourth level of his Turtle and Snake Shooting Breath Strength has also been greatly improved, and he will be able to make further progress in another month.

"If this trip goes well, maybe it can be faster."

After the exercise, he took a shower, which happened to work up an appetite, so he ate the breakfast carefully prepared by the maid in a leisurely manner.

At this time Fu Qingnian came over and handed a roll of banknotes to Li Sui'an.

"Master, we are basically here. Master still needs to be careful."

"I know."

"Do you really don't need Chen Zhonghe to accompany you?"

Li Sui'an said: "The fewer people know about this, the better. If things go wrong, I will stop decisively."

Fu Qingnian hesitated to speak, and finally just said, "Master, be careful in everything."

"Um."

If spending money can turn into strength, he is willing to go bankrupt.

Going to the auction, Li Sui'an was not unprepared.

With the help of Narcissus, I restyled it.

The skin is coated with a special potion and becomes slightly darker. The hair is spread out, and a few small pigtails are tied by a deer at the temples, and small accessories such as animal teeth and feathers are hung. There are also paintings on the exposed skin of the neck.

With looming tattoos and a big beard on his face, he looks like a tribal man.

Li Sui'an looked at the curious little deer.

"Bedwetting deer, do you still recognize who I am?"

"You know...Humph, I don't wet the bed."

"It wasn't you who peed. Then who drew the map on the sheets hanging outside? Was it your sister Narcissus who peed?"

Xiaolu was about to nod.

Then she saw Sister Narcissus glaring at her threateningly.

"Oh, I'm ignoring you."

He ran out and ran back to the house with the wet sheets in his arms.

After teasing the little girl, Li Sui'an was in a good mood.

Go out quietly.

The auction jointly organized by the three major chambers of commerce was grand and grand.

In order to prevent accidents from happening during the auction, I don’t know how many experts were called in to maintain law and order.

Li Sui'an thought that he came quite early, after all, it was still early before the auction, but he didn't expect that the scene was already crowded with people.

A spring rain last night couldn't stop people's enthusiasm at all.

The scene was simply a trade fair.

Countless small merchants took advantage of the popularity of the auction and came to set up stalls, selling everything.

Just because these things can't be sold in auction houses doesn't mean they are necessarily bad.

The government also sent many government officials to maintain law and order at the scene.

While there was still time, Li Sui'an decided to take a quick walk around the scene. After all, the main battlefield was still at the auction.

After scanning around this time, he really found a lot of good things.

The ore that looks like a flame is Lihuo Salt.

What an unexpected surprise, now I don’t have to travel far.

"How to sell?"

"Three silvers per pound."

The price is simply ridiculously high.

"Is this all you have?"

If it were normal, I would have to argue with him and try to get the price down.

But today he came here just to throw money away, "I want them all."

"If you don't like it, I still have some inventory, but the price may be..."

"If your quantity is large, the price can be increased by 20%. Leave an address and I will come back to you."

The man was overjoyed and said, "Okay~"

There was quite a lot of Li Huoyan, so Li went back to deliver the goods. When he walked to a corner, he put all Li Huoyan into the empty nest.

He was very happy when he got something as soon as he arrived.

Then he started spinning again and continued to wander around.

The rest sell bugs, animal meat, furs, talismans, books, secrets, weapons... the list goes on and on.

If you look carefully at each one, I'm afraid the auction is about to end.

Seeing that many people had already entered, Li Sui'an did not delay and was about to enter the venue. He suddenly smelled a unique smell of wine in his nostrils. He instinctively turned his steps and followed the faint aroma of wine.

I found a stall in the corner, and the stall owner was a shrewd old hunter.

A few wine gourds were sparsely placed in front of him, but no one paid any attention to them.

There were leaves falling on the stall, but he ignored them.

Li Sui'an reached out and touched it, and a bubble emerged.

[Spiritual Monkey Wine: A barefoot three-eyed monkey collected hundreds of kinds of spiritual fruits in a cave and fermented it for three years. It is a top-grade spiritual wine for mortals. If a mortal drinks it, it will burn him like fire. If it is serious, the body will explode and die. If it is light, it will be burned.

Then you will be in a daze. Warriors who are tempered and above can drink it to increase their energy.】

Advanced spirit wine?!

Even his Glazed Nine-Bone Pork and Fish Fillet Soup has never reached the first level...

"Take it!"

With just one look, Li Sui'an was determined to get the wine, no matter who came.

I suppressed my surprise and asked, "How much does it cost per gourd?"

The old hunter looked at Li Sui'an carefully, trying to judge his identity from his clothes, but Li Sui'an had put on makeup. After waiting for a long time, he raised a finger mysteriously.

"Okay, one tael of silver."

"Are you kidding? I said twelve."

"Pa~"

Li Sui'an didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. He threw out a few coins and swept away the wine gourds in front of him. It seemed that they were put into packages, but in fact they were already in an empty nest.

When the old hunter saw him paying so readily, his face twitched a few times. Was the sale a loss?

"Can you tell me where you found these wines?"

As soon as these words came out, the old hunter became more convinced that he had made a loss. He rolled his eyes and said, "One hundred taels."

Li Sui'an turned around and left.

"Hey, why are you leaving? If you are not satisfied, you can talk again."

"What's the point of talking about something you don't even know about?"

He is here to spread money, not to be a fool!

As soon as I took a few steps, I was stopped by an old man in rags, with a red nose, smelling of alcohol and looking like a beggar, "Brother, can you show me the wine you just bought?"

Li Sui'an's head shot up and he glared arrogantly: "Brother, what kind of wine, no!"

"Oh, it's a pity that the aroma of wine that can be smelled ten miles away is a step too late after all."

The old hunter behind him saw this scene in his eyes, and his heart was bleeding, "Dare I ask the old gentleman, is there any mystery behind the wine just now?"

The old man burped, "Give me ten taels of silver and I'll tell you."

The old hunter immediately tightened his pockets and said, "Don't even think about it."

"Don't you want to know what you just mis-sold?"

The old hunter was troubled after hearing this, but still kept his pockets tight.

"What a pity~"

The old beggar wandered away.

The old hunter was so confused that he finally gave up the money.

I thought to myself: Next time I go into the mountains, I will ask that old boy where he got the wine.

Unexpectedly, there was an unnoticed wine stain on his clothes.
