Li Tian and others quietly returned to the inn, and several berserkers reported some of what happened tonight.
"Haha, this night, Kaiying City is really lively. Let's keep those bastards alive for one more night." Li Tian didn't care, he had already made a plan to clean up these people.
At the same time, in a remote courtyard in Kaiying City, an old man in black was listening to the girl named Xiaocui from the prefect, reporting on the situation obtained tonight.
"Can Envoy Zuo be sure it's Li Tian?" the old man in black asked.
"General Ambassador, Mr. Zuo said it is basically certain. The accent they speak is that of Da'an. The sword-wielding man's skill can be seen by his subordinates. He is very clever. There are not many such masters in Da'an.
And later it was discovered that the patrolling guards were knocked unconscious, indicating that they still had backup. At present, the war between Guihe and Chaodu has ended, and Border City has fallen into the hands of Li Tian. It is impossible for the other two forces to come to Kaihe
Camp City, my subordinates also analyzed that it should be Li Tian's men." Although Xiaocui is not old, her mind is very delicate and her analysis is clear and logical.
"Well, no matter if it's Li Tian or not, we can't let it go. We have been setting up this trap for so long, and it's time to close the net. If we can really kill Li Tian, I will ask you for credit then.
Inform the people below to arrange the bait, I will do it myself this time."
"Thank you, Mr. Commander-in-Chief, Twee'er will take your leave." After the maid Twee'er finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.
Early the next morning, Shengun was busy asking Li Tian about last night. The two of them chatted while eating, and Li Tian told him what happened last night. Moreover, he told it in a thrilling and exciting way, which made Shengun regret it.
It's fatal.
"Gang, our brothers are going to start cleaning up the garbage tonight. You have to be alert and hide wherever you need to. No one will be able to take care of you anymore."
"Damn! Do you still need to take care of me? Tonight, I am going to take action in person to show you how powerful I am."
"That won't work. There are some experts among those rubbish. Your bald head is particularly conspicuous at night. They might regard you as a target."
"I remembered, aren't we going to attend some auction tonight?" The magician suddenly remembered this matter.
"Of course, we will wait until after attending the auction before taking action. By the way, you have to lend me some money then. If there is anything good, we will get it."
"Well, you eat first, and I'll go back to the room first. Oh my god, there are so many liars these days." After saying that, the magician ran faster than a rabbit.
As night falls, a manor in the east of Kaiying City is bustling with activity. This manor is owned by the Kaiying Chamber of Commerce, and a large-scale celebration is held every year during the peak trade season. The climax of each event is the so-called auction.
, one is to show the distinguished status of each wealthy family, and the other is to establish connections between various chambers of commerce.
This year's auction is different from previous years. Because of Da'an's defeat and Guihe's decline, many chambers of commerce in Guihe and Da'an did not participate, and some just sent individuals to join in the fun. Chaodu's trade started relatively late, so there has been no
Send people to participate in such activities.
Li Tian and Shengun changed their clothes. Li Tian dressed up like a nouveau riche, and Shengun wore a melon-skin hat, which gave him the authentic image of a wealthy landlord.
Guo Jing entered the manor together in the name of Manager Li Tian. Nothing could be seen from the outside of the manor, but once they entered the hall, they found that the decoration inside was extremely luxurious.
After a waiter examined the invitations of the two people, he very politely led Li Tian and Shengun to the private seats on the second floor.
There are three types of invitations to the manor, and the one Li Tian holds is the highest-grade one, so the treatment is different. It seems that Yu Hai, a leather goods dealer, secretly spent a lot of money.
The view from the private seats is very wide, and you can see everything below. Moreover, the people in the private seats are either rich or noble, so it is also a good place to build relationships.
As soon as Shengun went upstairs, he waved his little hand and greeted the people upstairs warmly. But no one paid attention to Shengun and Li Tian, and they continued to say what they should say and smile when they should.
"###, there is no education at all." The magician felt that it hurt his self-esteem.
It's no wonder that in the eyes of the powerful people upstairs, the images of him and Li Tian are simply inferior.
There is no need to mention Li Tian's image as a nouveau riche. In their eyes, the magic stick is just a second-generation ancestor with some ancestral property in the family. At most, he has one wife, one concubine and two big houses.
The three people were sitting in the private seats. It seemed that they had arrived early, and not everyone had arrived yet. There were still empty spaces on the left and right of them.
After a while, four masked women came up. At this time, many people upstairs greeted them enthusiastically.
Li Tian recognized it at a glance, and one of them was Ying'er. Although Ying'er was covered with a face and a scarf on her head, Li Tian was very familiar with her figure and walking movements.
Four wizards from the witch sect sat in the seats on the left of Li Tian and others. Situ Ying and Li Tian were very close to each other. She and Li Tian spoke quietly, and because their faces were covered, no one else could notice.
At this time, someone also came to the private seat on the right of Li Tian. He was a young wealthy man. As soon as he went upstairs, he greeted everyone in an exaggerated manner, looking arrogant. At first glance, he looked like a typical kid from a rich family.
, followed by a butler and a bodyguard.
The rich young man was enthusiastic, but when he saw Li Tian and the magic stick, he curled his lips with a look of disdain.
However, this guy was very enthusiastic towards the four wizards from the witch sect. He said to the four wizards across Li Tian's seat: "Four sisters, can I treat you to dinner in a moment?"
The magic stick had long disliked him, and now he was talking to others through him. He opened his mouth angrily and cursed, "Eat your mother's head. The shit in your mouth sprayed all over me."
When the rich man heard this, he immediately roared and said, "What are you talking about? Believe it or not, I will have you thrown out right now, you country bumpkin."
"Damn! I'm scared! Just call me and take a look." With Guo Jing by his side, the magic stick is even more arrogant than this young man.
The bodyguard behind Mr. Kuo immediately stood up. At this time, a manor steward ran over and said, "You two gentlemen, this is not a place for fighting. If there is a conflict, our chamber of commerce will disqualify both of you."
The butler beside Young Master Kuo also stood up and said, "Master, forget it, don't argue with this kind of person."
Everyone also tried to persuade them, and the two reluctantly stopped arguing.
"Huh! Don't let me see you when you get out of this manor." Mr. Kuo said unconvinced.
"Tch! This is what you said. Okay, I'll see what you can do then." The magic stick showed off for a while and sat down contentedly. He curled his lips and looked at the other people around him, but
He received looks of contempt from everyone.
With the magic stick making a fuss, Li Tian didn't dare to talk to Ying'er secretly, for fear that others would see it. After all, everyone was looking here.
The auction officially started. The first few items were all gold and silver vessels. The rich people upstairs did not like them at all.
At this time, the organizer took out an animal skin cloak. The whole body was made of gold, and the coat color was very rich. At first glance, it was not an ordinary animal skin.
"This is a rare water-gold mink animal skin cloak. It is no less precious than ### skin. Currently, there is only this one in the entire New Moon, with a starting price of thirty thousand taels." The auctioneer shouted from below.
The price skyrocketed, and soon it reached one hundred thousand taels. At this time, many people's voices fell silent.
"I'll pay 120,000 yuan," the young man next to him shouted.
"Oh, the gentleman in the No. 7 seat upstairs offered me 120,000 yuan. Do you have any more?"
In fact, the price was far beyond the value of the cloak. Li Tian's private room was number 8. The magician snorted and said, "Don't yell if you don't have money. I'll pay 130,000."
"Oh my god, this young man in the eighth seat has paid 130,000 yuan."
"I'll give you 150,000 yuan. You country bumpkin dares to be richer than me."
"I'll give you 160,000 yuan."
Li Tian and Guo Jing were both very surprised. There were no precious animal skins in Chaodu, so why did the magic stick insist on this one?
"My offer is 200,000 yuan." Mr. Kuo seemed to be anxious.
"###比, do you have so much money?" the magic stick asked Kuo Shao disdainfully.
"Damn you, I can kill you with my money." Mr. Kuo also responded tit for tat.
"Tch! Brag, I'll pay 220,000." Shenbangbang once again quoted a price.
"Three hundred thousand, I will offer you three hundred thousand." Young Master Kuo stared at the red eyes, not looking downstairs at all, staring directly at the magic stick, waiting for him to call out the price again.
The whole hall was watching the magician to see what price the rich man would offer again.
"Hehe, it's yours. I was scared to death just now because I was afraid you wouldn't shout. You bought something worth three to forty thousand taels for three hundred thousand taels. What a fool." The magic stick shook his head and didn't shout at all.
Only then did Li Tian and Guo Jing realize that the magic stick was playing tricks on this wealthy young man.
"Is there any more to be added to the three hundred thousand taels? Once~~twice~three times, the deal is done! Congratulations on this cloak being photographed by the young master in the seventh seat."
Young Master Kuo's face turned blue, and he didn't know what to say. Three hundred thousand taels was not a small number, so there was no reason not to feel distressed. The key was that he was being teased, which made him very uncomfortable, and now he had the desire to kill.
After the excitement, the auctioneer took out another item. It was a small and exquisite gold hairpin. It was very cleverly designed and had a magnolia flower wrapped in the front. The starting price was only two hundred taels of silver.
"Oh, Li Tian, I want this one. Look at the osmanthus in front. It's just right for my osmanthus." When the magician saw this lot, he really wanted to get it.
"Be careful with that guy next to you. Besides, it's not a sweet-scented osmanthus." Li Tian warned the magic stick.
"Two hundred and one tael." The magic stick raised his hand and shouted an ugly number, but only one tael of silver was added.
Although this number is a bit shabby, the entire hall was quiet, waiting for the rich man on the 7th to compete again.
Kuo Shao next to him stood up, and the magic stick also stood up.
"Two hundred and one ounce once~~Two hundred and one ounce the second time~~" The auctioneer's palms were sweating nervously, waiting for the bid on the seventh.
The hall was very quiet. Just as Mr. Kuo was about to speak, the magic stick suddenly shouted, "Why don't you fucking shout a third time."
"Ah! The third time, it's done." The auctioneer shouted out the third time when he was nervous, and he could only bite the bullet and seal the deal.
"Huh, fight me, you are still young." The magic stick said arrogantly.
Kuo Shao gritted his teeth in hatred and secretly made up his mind to beat up this bald man with a melon-skin hat no matter what, once the auction was over.
"The auction item below is a Smurf bracelet. It is very exquisite~" The auctioneer's voice was much softer than before. After all, it is not a valuable item.
"Ah! Brother Tian~~That~that's~~" Situ Ying saw the Smurf bracelet and was so nervous that he couldn't say anything.
"Ying'er, what's wrong?" Li Tian asked strangely. He wanted to shake Situ Ying's hand, but in this situation, he had to take care of it.
"Brother Tian, that's the bracelet Yue'er is wearing. I won't admit it, I will never admit it." Situ Ying excitedly grabbed the railing next to her.
When Li Tian heard this, he understood and quickly told Guo Jingjing quietly.
"Brother Guo, go backstage quickly and ask if the consignor of this auction has left. This is Yue'er's bracelet. Leave him behind."
