However, Gu Zheng had no intention of asking Hui Ru at this moment. Xia Weier in front of him gave him the biggest headache for the first time.
The people in the Demonic Continent don’t know any sense of shame, so they sell a girl to their door. A twenty-year-old girl, who is also a grand duke, insists on marrying her.
Is it possible that a girl with status would cheat on two people with bad money?
The answer is really that the reason why Xia Weier took the initiative to promote herself to Gu Zheng was because of Gu Zheng's money.
Gu Zheng has been in Gongcheng for several days, and his luxurious carriage is the best business card. Xia Weier's uncle has done a good job of asking about Gu Zheng's previous affairs, although they don't know as much as the Chamber of Commerce.
But there is a lot of information that can be found out.
In short, the news I got is that Gu Zheng is very rich, and I don’t know how many Yuanqi cards there are, maybe 100,000.
The one hundred thousand vitality card is definitely a golden son-in-law here. In order to retain Guzheng, Xia Weier simply took advantage of her identity and came to propose marriage, both for herself and for the development of the city.
Let Gu Zheng stay in their principality.
Became the husband of her Grand Duke Xavier.
"Your Excellency, please respect yourself. I already have a wife and I cannot accept you!"
"You're lying. I've sent the flying demon clan to inquire. You don't have a wife!"
Gu Zheng didn't expect that these people would even go to the location of his fake Viscount Mansion. Strictly speaking, Xia Weier was not ugly, she had a hot figure and was very beautiful. Unfortunately, the demon race was not Gu Zheng's cup of tea at all.
Gu Zheng is a fake demon clan.
"Well, you allow me to think about it for three days, and I will definitely give you an answer after three days!"
There was no other way, so Gu Zheng had no choice but to use the drag technique first. Although Xia Weier failed to achieve his goal and did not get Gu Zheng to agree, Gu Zheng finally relaxed and was willing to consider it, which was good news for him.
As soon as Xia Weier left, Gu Zheng gathered everyone and prepared to evacuate.
"Wouldn't it be nice to stay and become the duke's wife, my lord?"
Huiru couldn't help but made another sarcastic comment, but was scolded by Gu Zheng: "You girl, why are you so crazy? How can you take care of my affairs?"
Gu Zheng's pressure was so great that Huiru lowered her head, feeling aggrieved but not daring to say anything.
To be honest, she didn't think anything wrong about Gu Zheng, she just felt that the women of the demon clan were not worthy of Gu Zheng, but she couldn't express her dissatisfaction and could only show her dissatisfaction with sarcasm.
"Let's go, let's go now!"
After gathering everyone and packing their things, Gu Zheng decided to leave immediately in order to avoid Xia Weier's trouble, instead of going through the city gate, he flew directly from the sky.
When Gu Zheng wants to leave, he doesn't want people to know about it, so others won't notice.
Two hundred miles away from the Principality of Xia Weier, Gu Zheng and the others landed on the ground, dragging a carriage and flying all the way. They were speechless.
“I will never come to this place again!”
Gu Zheng was still frightened. He never thought that he would be forced into marriage. Gu Zheng, the most powerful person in the world, was scared away by the person who forced him into marriage.
Along the way, the ancient wars among some small principalities and princes did not stop. It was not until the Kingdom of Sofitel, 1,500 miles away, that the ancient wars stopped for a rest.
Here, they heard the latest news from Prince Jinqiao and Prince Hulip.
The two princes have finished fighting, and in the end they both lost. The two princes who came to support were not in vain. One of them took away a principality of Prince Jinqiao, and the other took away a principality of Prince Helipu.
If they dare not give it, these two princes would not mind joining forces to teach them a lesson.
Prince Hulip had a kiss with the new Jinqiao, so he could only break his teeth and swallow his own stomach, accepting all this.
The war between the two princes has come to an end.
The chief culprit of all this, His Excellency Viscount Gu Zheng, is currently in the Sofitel, the most luxurious hotel in the world, listening to music, drinking tea, and cracking melon seeds, very comfortable.
"Your Excellency, Viscount Gu Zheng, this is a greeting from our prince. Please come to the prince's castle for a banquet tomorrow!"
On the third day after arriving here, the prince here came to him. Gu Zheng was not surprised at all that his identity was exposed. However, it was a bit unexpected that the prince only came to invite him on the third day.
When he came here, he registered as Viscount Gu Zheng when he checked in. It would be strange if the prince here didn't know.
"Go back and tell His Highness the Prince that I will definitely be there!"
Gu Zheng didn't know what kind of medicine this gourd was selling, but if he imagined that the two princes would come to rob him, then he wouldn't mind robbing another treasure house and killing another prince.
Anyway, the ancient dispute is just for fun, it would be better if it can make the entire Demonic Continent agitate.
The next day, Gu Zheng went to the banquet on time, but today he brought Hui Ru instead of Hu Yidao. Hu Yidao looked at the inn where Huiru and Gu Zheng left together, feeling unhappy.
Hou Ping smiled happily, but unfortunately Hu Yidao was too weak now. If he and Hu Yidao were to spar again, he could be like Black Tiger and seriously injure him with one punch. Such a spar would be too boring.
Most of the castles in the Evil Continent look the same, a bit like Western medieval castles. They look quite tall, but are actually not that big. Compared with the palaces in the Four Saints Continent, they are far behind.
Prince Sofitel is an old man who is one hundred and twenty years old. One hundred and twenty years old is not considered young in the Demon Continent. Although their theoretical life span is two hundred years, it is usually only about one hundred and sixty years. Very few people can directly
Live to be two hundred years old.
The same goes for high-level warriors or spiritual masters, unless they have not been injured, that would be fine.
"Your Excellency, please take a seat!"
There was a long table with sumptuous food on it. Prince Sofitel sat on the other side and Gu Zheng took the guest seat.
"This is my gift to His Highness the Prince!"
Gu Zheng took out the gift box. What he gave was an exquisite scepter, made of pure gold. Such a thing was nice, but for the prince, it was far less affordable than the Vitality Card.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Viscount!"
Prince Sofitel didn't feel much about the gift, but he politely asked Gu Zheng to sit down. After sitting down, the two of them ate the delicious food slowly without saying a word.
"I asked His Excellency the Viscount to come here today because I have something I want to ask His Excellency for help!"
After eating, Prince Sofitel finally spoke. It turned out that he wanted to ask for something. Gu Zheng was still thinking that it couldn't be borrowing money. After all, he is a nouveau riche and gives the impression that he is rich, very rich!"
"What's the matter? Your Highness, please tell me!"
"Today, I received a message that in three days in Caesar's Imperial City, the Evil Chamber of Commerce Auction House will auction an ancient pharaoh's crown. I hope you can help me take a photo of it. I will be rewarded handsomely afterwards!"
Not to borrow money, but to help bid for things?
Why is he so weird that he can't go there by himself and has to ask someone for help?
"In this auction, everything is very valuable, so I only accept Vitality Cards for the auction. I don't have many Vitality Cards in my hand, but if it's not enough, I can use gold coins or other things to offset it for you. I will definitely give it to you.
A price you’re satisfied with!”
Gu Zheng immediately understood that in the final analysis, it was not about borrowing money, but his method of borrowing money was a bit euphemistic.
Prince Sofitel clapped his hands, and many people came over immediately behind him, each with a box in their hand, six in total.
"This is 12,000 vitality cards. According to my estimation, the crown can fetch the price of 15,000 vitality cards at most. In addition, I will give you another one million gold coins. You only need to take the crown and let the Chamber of Commerce
Just bring it to me, if you can’t use it up, you can keep it as your reward!”
One million gold coins, according to the exchange rate of the Chamber of Commerce, is 15 to one, which means there are more than 6,000 vitality cards. Adding 12,000, it is 18,000. If Gu Zheng really bids for 15,000, at least
You can earn three thousand vitality cards.
Three thousand vitality cards are not much for Gu Zheng, but for people in this world, they are already quite a fortune.
"I don't understand, why did you choose me to go? We didn't know each other before, but you trust me so much and give me so many things first?"
Gu Zheng pointed at himself. This prince was too courageous. Twelve thousand vitality cards and one million gold coins were more than half of his wealth. Just give it to a stranger like this?
"First of all, you are not short of vitality cards, nor are you short of money. What I have seems to be a lot, but to you, Your Excellency, it is not worth mentioning!"
"Second, you have a Heavenly Order by your side, or you are a Heavenly Order yourself. Now only Heavenly Orders can fly there to participate in the auction. It's too late for me to send people there. Even if there are flying monsters, there is so much wealth. To be honest,
,I don’t believe them!”
The second one of Prince Sofitel is a bit weird. He doesn't believe in his own flying monster, but believes in him. It's really hard to understand.
But what he said in the first point was right. Gu Zheng was not short of money. Gu Zheng really didn't notice the little money he had.
"The second is because of your strength, and the third is also very important. You are an important customer of the Evil Chamber of Commerce. Only when you go can you enter the VIP room and conduct auctions at VIP prices. VIPs have a 10% discount. Can you help me?
Save a lot of money!”
What, I am a VIP customer of the Evil Chamber of Commerce? Why didn’t I know?
"I specifically inquired about your VIP treatment, and it is indeed true!"
"Actually, the most important point is the fourth point. This time I ask you to go to the auction. I will issue a directional task through the Demon Chamber of Commerce, and only let you accept the task. If you accept the task, I will give you the money. In this way, although I
I have to pay a sum of money to the Demon Chamber of Commerce, but if you don’t fulfill it after completing the task, they will hunt you down and pay me compensation!”
It seems that Prince Sofitel does not completely believe in Gu Zheng, and actually wants to use the situation of the mission to ask Gu Zheng to help.
"Then why don't you go directly to the Chamber of Commerce to buy it, instead of going to such trouble to let me bid for you?"
"I've looked for it, but they don't sell it!"
Sofitel was a little helpless. The Chamber of Commerce was too huge. It was so big that he could only discuss it with the Chamber of Commerce, but he couldn't order them to do anything.
If the Chamber of Commerce is unwilling to sell directly and can only sell through auction, then it can only act in accordance with the rules of the Chamber of Commerce.
Although he still had some doubts, Gu Zheng still agreed. He was a brave man, and he also wanted to know what Prince Philip wanted to do. He would know all this when he came back from the auction.
Gu Zheng agreed, and Sofitel gave the people from the Chamber of Commerce a task in front of him. After that, the people from the Chamber of Commerce handed over the vitality cards and gold coins to Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng accepted the task.
The auction is in three days, so Gu Zheng is not in a hurry, but it would be a long time to go there by carriage, so he simply flies over this time.
Caesar's Imperial City is more than 4,000 miles away from here. The Demon Continent has seven imperial cities, more than 50 royal cities, more than 300 public cities, and more than 1,000 princely cities.
Different from the Four Saints Continent, although each palace in the Four Saints Continent also has a certain degree of autonomy, the real power lies in the empire. The empire has the right to appoint palace leaders. In the Evil Continent, any of the seven imperial cities, you want to change
Prince, yes, you can lead the troops and fight there. After defeating this prince, you can crown a new prince.
If you act like this, other princes will turn against you.
In addition, there is another way to build a new city and establish a new royal city. However, there are very few people in the new royal city, and it will take hundreds of years for the new royal city to become active.
Caesar's Imperial City, one of the seven imperial cities, is home to Caesar. It is said that Caesar is a powerful man in heaven, and he has informed the Caesar Empire for more than three hundred years.
There would be no such thing as a heaven-level powerhouse becoming an emperor in the Four Saints Continent. The emperor had too many things to worry about and had no time to practice. No emperor could cultivate to the heaven level.
But it is different here. Each royal city is autonomous. Even the directly subordinate imperial city is managed by the prime minister. The emperor himself does not need to put in too much experience, so the emperor has time to practice.
The next day, Gu Zhengcai took Hou Ping to Caesar Imperial City, leaving Huiru, Hu Yidao and Simba behind.
Hu Yidao looked at Gu Zheng gratefully, making Gu Zheng shake his head again.
This guy is hopeless.
There are more than one heavenly steps in Caesar's Imperial City, so Gu Zheng did not land directly in Caesar's Imperial City, but landed thirty miles outside the city and then walked there.
Prince Sofitel didn't lie. He really was treated as a VIP at the Demonic Chamber of Commerce. It was the heavenly person who declared it to him, and even he didn't know it.
This VIP treatment is pretty good. Not only can you get a 10% discount on auctions, but you can also get a 10% discount on anything you buy. In addition, you can also stay at any hotel owned by the Chamber of Commerce for free.
There was a hotel owned by the Demon Chamber of Commerce in Caesar Imperial City, and it was very luxurious. Gu Zheng checked in very unceremoniously and directly asked for a large suite.
There was still one day before the auction would start. Gu Zheng started shopping again and bought some strange things when he saw them. Anyway, he had a lot of money. In just one day, he spent more than five thousand gold coins. If it weren't for the kindness of the Chamber of Commerce,
Things are discounted for him, so he can spend more.
"Your Majesty the Viscount, this is your VIP certificate for tomorrow's auction. With this certificate, you can have a small private room at the auction site and bid in it!"
The treatment for VIPs is different. There is also a small private room in the auction. Gu Zheng took it over with a smile. It's free, so don't use it in vain.
The auction is held at the auction house of the Imperial City Evil Chamber of Commerce. It is said that this auction house is very large. The Chamber of Commerce holds auctions every month. The number of auctions is not fixed, but there is a fixed big auction every year.
There is a grand auction every ten years, which will attract many real rich people to participate, as well as people from other empires, because the grand auctions of the seven empires are not together.
Auctions at other times accept gold coins, except for Hao auctions, which only use vitality cards to settle the bill.
In addition, there is also a hundred-year auction of all things, which is held in the seven imperial cities in turn. In such an auction, the emperors of the seven imperial cities will participate, and there will be more good things.
This is a once-in-a-decade auction, not a once-in-a-century auction of all things. The number of people and scale is not as good as the auction of all things, but it is much larger than other auctions.
There are so many tricks in one auction.
It's not like Gu Zheng has never participated in auctions. He has participated in various auctions, different in size, but generally similar.
In the morning, Gu Zheng took Hou Ping out directly. The Chamber of Commerce had prepared a carriage for them and sent them to the auction house. Gu Zheng praised them for their considerate service.
The auction site is really big and it won't be that full. Today is a grand auction that happens once every ten years, so all the three hundred boxes are full.
Not all of the 7,000 people participated in the auction, many of them were followers, but they could only bring one follower at most, and some people didn't bring any at all, so the number of people who actually participated in the auction was about 5,000.
Including the private room, the price is around five thousand, which is quite a lot.
The auction started soon. The person presiding over the auction turned out to be a woman with a very nice voice. The first auction item that came up was very good. It was actually a cold iron weapon. Hu Yidao used the cold iron weapon before, which can make the sky level.
What's the difference in using it?
No wonder only Vitality Cards are traded here. If they were exchanged for gold coins, such a weapon would probably be auctioned for hundreds of thousands.
Above black iron and meteorite iron is cold iron. Cold iron cannot be formed in less than ten thousand years. Although this weapon is just a sword, the price is still not low.
In Gu Zheng's small box, a demon woman specially introduced them to them. The starting price of this cold iron dagger was six thousand vitality stones, but six thousand vitality stones was not its true value at all. This thing must have exceeded ten thousand.
This is to start at a low price in order to get off to a good start.
Sure enough, the dagger broke through 10,000 Yuan Qi Stones in a short while and continued to rise.
No wonder Prince Sofitel said it would cost 15,000 Yuan Qi Stones to take the photo. The first one here is over 10,000, and you can imagine the rest.
This is still in the Demonic Continent. If you were in the Four Saints Continent, you wouldn't be able to get such a cold iron dagger without more than 200,000 vitality cards.
In the end, this cold iron dagger was sold for sixteen thousand vitality cards, which was a good start.
The items were good, and they aroused Gu Zheng's interest. He wanted to see what he needed later. If there were any, he wouldn't mind taking a few more items back. Anyway, he had money now, and he met a very good Yuanqi card player.
It would be foolish not to buy more good things in an expensive place.
For example, if you are at home, you can only buy one piece of ice cream for one dollar, but when you go to another place, one dollar can buy twenty yuan worth of silver coins in your hometown. Will you buy it? Will you buy more?
This is what Gu Zheng thinks now. Good things are hard currency, and you will never lose money if you buy them.
But he was just thinking about it. He had so many good things, that was not enough. Besides, how good could the good things in this world be?
