Xu Chunliang took out the black-framed glasses he had prepared and put them on: "Mr. Hua, do I have the temperament of a cultural relics expert?"
Hua Zhuyue said: "If I change my clothes, it will look more like her."
Xu Chunliang was already prepared. He went to the trunk and took out his clothes and changed into them. He looked like a conservative and old-school middle-aged scholar.
Hua Zhuyue picked up a safe from the trunk and handed it to Xu Chunliang. It contained two million in cash. Since he was going to participate in the ghost market auction, he had to look good and put on a complete show.
Now Xu Chunliang has not only changed his appearance, but also has a slight stoop, and his gait is completely different from the past.
Hua Zhuyue secretly admired him in his heart. With his current appearance, let alone other people, even if he didn't know the inside story, he wouldn't be able to guess that he was the same person.
Xu Chunliang saw her looking at him from time to time and smiled: "What? You don't recognize me when you put on clothes?"
Hua Zhuyue said: "You are a lot shorter."
Xu Chunliang nodded. With his bone-shrinking skills and hunchback, his height was at least eight centimeters shorter than usual. He is now about 1.7 meters tall. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, it hasn't gotten smaller there."
Hua Zhuyue's pretty face turned hot, her eyes were as charming as silk and she spat: "Death sign!"
On the pier, there were already people waiting in advance. When they saw Hua Zhuyue coming, they hurriedly greeted him and greeted him respectfully: "Mr. Hua!"
Hua Zhuyue smiled calmly and said: "Hello Captain Li, this is Professor Liang, the expert I invited." Professor Liang is actually Professor Liang, but he simply took a word from Xu Chunliang's name.
The two got on the ship, and Hua Zhuyue sent Captain Li their location.
Xu Chunliang followed Hua Zhuyue to the deck. The cold wind on the sea in late autumn was bone-chilling, and Hua Zhuyue even put on her coat.
Xu Chunliang bowed his head and followed her, like a shivering little old man, but his eyes looking at Hua Zhuyue could not hide his obscene enthusiasm.
Hua Zhuyue always felt that there was too much desire hidden in his eyes, so she whispered: "Don't look at me like that."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "It's only your fault that you attract me so much."
Hua Zhuyue said: "Have you said the same thing to many women?"
Xu Chunliang nodded: "I should have said it, but it was all from the bottom of my heart."
Hua Zhuyue chuckled. He was the only one who could say such a high-sounding thing. However, she was not angry and said softly: "You didn't lie to me? The side effects of the innate realm are so powerful?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Why did I lie to you? Even a sensible gentleman like me can't control it, let alone other people."
Hua Zhuyue said: "I'm just looking for an excuse for your philandering." She used her hands to comb her wind-blown hair, tied it into a bun behind her head, and said thoughtfully: "You don't have to worry.
, I have never thought about marrying you, nor have I ever thought about making you bear any responsibilities. Neither you nor I owe anything to anyone."
Xu Chunliang said: "Sister Hua, I like you and respect you from the bottom of my heart."
Hua Zhuyue said: "Why do you respect me?"
Xu Chunliang said: "I respect you for being in the Orchid Gate. You can emerge from the mud without being stained. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it."
Hua Zhuyue said: "Don't think of me so noble. I didn't mean to stay for you until now. It's just that I haven't met anyone who is pleasing to my eyes in these years. Maybe I will meet someone better in the future. When the time comes,
Don't blame me for kicking you so hard." At this point, she couldn't help laughing.
Xu Chunliang said: "You will never meet a better man than me in this life."
Hua Zhuyue bit her lip: "Is this a curse?"
Xu Chunliang sighed and said, "I'm so damn possessive."
The yacht arrived at the agreed location and saw a passenger ship docked at the scene. This was not a ghost market site, but a transfer station. Guests participating in tonight's ghost market would transfer to this passenger ship, which would take them to the ghost market.
.
This shows that the organizers of the ghost market are also very cautious. Xu Chunliang and Hua Zhuyue had just boarded the passenger ship when they met Pu Jian who had also come here. Pu Jian came here with Chen Qianfan, and he saw Hua Zhuyue.
Zhuyue, but did not recognize Xu Chunliang next to Hua Zhuyue.
Pu Jian took the initiative to come over and say hello, Hua Zhuyue just nodded slightly and reminded Pu Jian that in a place like this, it is best for everyone to pretend not to know anyone, so as not to attract other people's attention.
After all the guests arrived, the passenger ship sailed to the high seas, with no one knowing its final destination.
Hua Zhuyue and Xu Chunliang were arranged in the VIP area with separate boxes. Xu Chunliang estimated the time and estimated that the sailing time would be about an hour, because the ghost market auction time was set at 00:08.
The strange thing is that Mo Han was not seen after boarding the ship tonight. Xu Chunliang wondered to himself, did Mo Han decide to give up because she didn't come? But with her character, this shouldn't be the case, or maybe she was responsible for transporting guests tonight.
It's not just their passenger ship?
Hua Zhuyue whispered in Xu Chunliang's ear: "Many people from the world are here, including Zhao Tiehan, the one-eyed king of Qianmen, and Meng Lianqing, the elder of the poor family."
Xu Chunliang has heard of Zhao Tiehan's name, but has never seen him. According to what Hua Zhuyue said, the battle tonight is quite big. Could it be that everyone is rushing towards Huang Wanglin's blue and white jade pot spring bottle?
Come? This possibility should be unlikely. It’s impossible for all these famous figures in the world to be obsessed with collecting?
Hua Zhuyue patted the suitcase and said, "It seems that the rice belt is missing."
Xu Chunliang said: "We are just joining in the fun, and we may not meet something we like."
Outside the porthole window is a bright moon. The moonlight shines on the sea, creating sparkling waves. The sea is quiet and gentle at the moment.
Hua Zhuyue said: "Maybe there will be an unexpected surprise tonight."
The passenger ship sailed on the sea for more than an hour and approached an unnamed desert island at twelve o'clock.
The island is very small, with only a few abandoned stone houses on it. It is unclear when they were left. The passenger ship is docked at the simple pier.
Xu Chunliang looked at his cell phone and saw that there was no signal. Hua Zhuyue was extra careful and brought a cell phone with a satellite phone function.
However, before landing on the island, everyone is required to leave their mobile phones on the boat. Except for cash and items used for transactions, guests are not allowed to bring other things to the island, especially communication tools and weapons.
Xu Chunliang and Hua Zhuyue abided by the organizer's regulations, and they landed successfully.
Pu Jian's angry voice came from behind: "What's wrong with you? This is a detector, not a camera."
Xu Chunliang turned around and saw Chen Qianfan and Zeng Yuanqing standing next to Pu Jian. Both of them were carrying a box in their hands, which was probably filled with cash.
A bald, one-eyed man from behind urged: "Can you hurry up? What's wrong with Jiang Yucheng? Since he's so suspicious, don't invite us over. Let him come out. I'll ask him face to face if he treats guests like this?"
This man is Zhao Tiehan, the One-Eyed King of Thousand Sects. When he yelled, others started to yell. No one who could come to participate in the ghost market auction was an ordinary person. Among them, there were many big men like Zhao Tiehan. These people were in their respective
They are all considered leaders in the industry, and most of them have unruly personalities. The organizer's complicated procedures for landing on the island have long made them impatient.
A chubby middle-aged man smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, please calm down. Lao Jiang is also thinking about everyone's safety, so everyone should be tolerant."
Hua Zhuyue introduced in a low voice: "This person is Meng Lianqing."
Xu Chunliang paid special attention to it. He had problems with Han Tianchi and his gang from a poor family, and was targeted several times. Even his grandfather was framed. Although it was unclear whether those incidents had anything to do with Meng Lianqing, Xu Chunliang was right.
People from poor families don't have much favor.
Hua Zhuyue said: "It is said that Jiang Yucheng started his career in theft as a disciple of the Thieves, but now the Thieves have long been disintegrated under the official control. They have a close relationship with the poor and often cooperate with each other."
After Meng Lianqing came forward, Zhao Tiehan remained silent. Although he was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Qianmen, his strength and status in Qianmen were greatly affected because of the case. Meng Lianqing started his career in metal recycling.
His business is inconspicuous, but his net worth is tens of billions, and Zhao Tiehan cannot compare to him in terms of strength or reputation.
The ghost market was temporarily built on this desert island. Although it is not much different from the stalls in the antique market, the items sold are all high-quality, and those who are traded here have a common characteristic, that is
It cannot be sold in the legal market. To put it bluntly, it is a selling scene.
When they landed, everyone received an envelope, which contained auction instructions, mainly tonight's key treasures. There were three pieces in total, one of which was the Yuan blue and white jade pot and spring vase lost in Linzhengtang. The auction base price was one million, I think.
To participate in the auction, you must first verify your capital and pay a deposit of 200,000. This threshold alone has excluded many people.
The auction time is set at one o'clock in the morning, so there is enough time to go through the formalities.
The auction order of Yuan blue and white is the second item. The first item is a bronze tripod from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, with a base price of 300,000. According to the rules of the auction, the most valuable item is left to the end. Xu Chunliang paid special attention to the third item.
The auction item is a bamboo slip from the Warring States Period. The reserve price of the bamboo slip has reached two million.
Xu Chunliang accompanied Hua Zhuyue to complete the capital verification procedures. There were still forty minutes before the auction, so the two of them walked around the ghost market.
Most of the people who come to the ghost market have no chance to participate in the auction. They just want to take away a few favorite items from the ghost market. After all, most of the things on the market are illegally obtained. As long as you have a good eye, there are many opportunities to find something missing.
Pu Jian and Chen Qianfan were also picking and choosing in the ghost market.
Xu Chunliang looked around, Hua Zhuyue saw that he was absent-minded, and whispered: "Miss your little lover?"
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "I don't have that kind of relationship with her. She has too many evil intentions."
Hua Zhuyue said: "Then you still take the initiative to seek cooperation with her?"
Xu Chunliang said: "How can I find out her depth without bringing her into the game?"
Hua Zhuyue spat: "Shameless."
Xu Chunliang realized that Hua Zhuyue had misunderstood what he meant, coughed and said, "I can't get enough of you."
