Chapter 155: Kirin Pavilion
On the silent night, one cough after another sounded in a room in the backyard of the Hou Mansion. It was very light and did not reach the outside. It was the people in the house deliberately suppressing their cough.
Under the lights, a figure in plain clothes was still staying up late to watch the information sent by the spies. The imperial city was too big and there were too many things to pay attention to. People like the third prince and Xiyu were all cunning than the other. It was impossible to find a direct flaw. They could only follow some subtle details of the side branches to find a breakthrough.
In this world, there is no way to do things perfectly. The difficulty lies in how to discover it.
After so long, the cause of death of the Lord of Yingcheng City was finally made progress. It has now been confirmed that it was a secret order from Mr. Xiyu.
The day before the death of the city lord Yingcheng, Anqing Hou had entered the Xiyu Duke's Mansion and came out less than a quarter of an hour after entering.
With the secret moves arranged by Mr. Xiyu in Yunling Village, it can be basically asserted that this Daxia official had an unknown conspiracy.
"Marty, Eunuch Pei left the imperial tomb." A low voice sounded outside the door.
"I understand," Ning Chen replied.
Outside the door, the black shadow disappeared, silently, as if it had never appeared.
Ning Chen felt silent in his heart. The last step for the old eunuch Pei to come out, and now he is just waiting for a decision.
People's hearts are unpredictable, and they cannot make a judgment easily, they must try again and again.
Late at night, Liu Ruoxi woke up once and saw the lights in the Marquis' room jumping. She got up and came to the door and knocked gently.
In the room, Ning Chen frowned slightly and said, "Please come in."
Liu Ruoxi pushed the door open and her simple face was not decorated, making her look even more charming and attractive under the lights.
In terms of appearance alone, this courtesan in the imperial city is undoubtedly synonymous with beauty, which means that his temperament is a little weaker.
In this era, women are destined to be vassals of men. After all, there is only one woman like Fan Lingyue, who is more dazzling than the bright moon in the sky, in the past thousand years.
"Mr. Marquis, let's take a rest." Liu Ruoxi came up and picked the wick to make the fire brighter, and said softly.
Ning Chen smiled without answering, and continued to look at the situation in his hand. There is no good thing in the world that you can gain without giving. He is not a god and cannot predict what will happen.
Seeing that the Marquis did not speak, Liu Ruoxi stopped persuading him and stood quietly aside to help grind the ink.
Reading at night with red sleeves is the dream of every scholar. Unfortunately, Ning Chen is not a scholar, but Wuhou.
"Ahem"
The deeper the night, the deeper the coughing sound in the room. Liu Ruoxi gently patted the former's back, took out a silk scarf from his arms and handed it to Ning Chen.
Bright red splashes fell on the scarf, Ning Chen pushed Liu Ruoxi's hand away and said, "You are not afraid that I will kill you."
"The Marquis is a good person," Liu Ruoxi said softly.
"Hehe" Ning Chen smiled tiredly and said honestly, "I'm not a good person. If one day I find that you have done something sorry for the Marquis' Mansion, I will kill you without hesitation."
"There won't be this day," Liu Ruoxi said softly.
"I hope so," Ning Chen replied.
An hour later, Ning Chen finished reading the last message, closed his eyes tiredly, and said slowly, "There will be an auction tomorrow. Mingyue and I will go there, will you go?"
Liu Ruoxi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will it cause trouble to the marquis?"
"Give me your hand." Ning Chen opened his eyes and said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruoxi stretched out his left hand in confusion, with his slender jade fingers crystal clear and flawless.
Ning Chen Ning pointed his sword, and a trace of true energy was injected into the woman's body along the woman's arm, and after a moment, the light was dissipated.
"Okay, I'll just disguise tomorrow and there will be no problem. Even if the ninth-grade strong man explores, he won't be able to see anything."
"Marty Xie" Liu Ruoxi said.
"Go back and rest," Ning Chen waved his hand and said.
"Ruoxi leaves" Liu Ruoxi Yingying gave a gift and immediately left the room.
Liu Ruoxi left, Ning Chen stood up and came to the yard, looked at the bright moon like a hook in the sky, sighed in his heart, and said that it was the end of the moon again, and he had less than half a month left.
In Beimeng Daying, Fan Lingyue was still asleep all night, standing in front of the tent, looking at the direction of the Daxia Imperial City, and pondering silently.
Under the moon, a graceful figure as fairy as a mortal merged into the world, as if it would break through the sky at any time.
These are the two most terrifying women in the world, one masters the scroll of chaos and the other cultivates the practice. With the joint efforts, the world is invincible.
As powerful as Ning Chen, he has many things that surpass the times, but he still suffers a great loss in the hands of the two of them.
After a moment, Fan Lingyue said a softly, and the beautiful figure under the moon nodded calmly, and then the figure flashed and disappeared.
The night gradually dissipates, and the first ray of sunshine of dawn sprinkles on the earth, reflecting a faint golden color.
In front of Qilin Pavilion, there were crowds of people coming and going, achieving the most prosperous scene in a century.
The Nine Miao Lihe Flower is a divine flower that has always existed only in legends. No one expected it to truly appear in this world.
Ning Chen came, holding Xiao Mingyue. On the other side, Liu Ruoxi wore a mask to cover off her beautiful and charming face, but could not hide her delicate and seductive body.
The powerful people who come today are all real big shots. Many of them have seen Ning Chen and are not surprised at the arrival of the latter.
Everyone in the world knows that the Marquis of Zhiming in Daxia now lacks nothing, only this magical flower.
"Mr. Marquis, please" a young woman in Huaxin came over, greeted her politely, and spoke.
Ning Chen smiled slightly. The beautiful woman in front of him was not as harmless as she looked. Qilin Pavilion is one of the best chambers of commerce in the world. The background of this woman can be sent to take charge of this auction must be not simple.
The four of them walked into a private room, and a beautiful maid was waiting inside. The woman gave a few words and turned around and left.
The maid knew that the young man in front of her was noble, so she did not dare to neglect her. She stood by respectfully and obeyed the orders at any time.
Ning Chen started coughing again, one after another, very dull, and the three people in the box were frightened.
The "bad guy" Mingyue's beautiful big eyes were full of worry. She stood up and wiped the blood on her lips with her little handkerchief.
"It's okay, I'll get used to it when I vomited." Ning Chen patted the little girl's cloth hat and comforted her with a smile.
"You, help him massage his back." Mingyue pointed at Liu Ruoxi and said fiercely.
Liu Ruoxi was stunned and immediately reacted and hurried up to help the marquis massage the back. The young master's "bad reputation" in the marquis' mansion is obvious to all. The biggest one in the marquis' mansion is not the marquis, but the young master, and no one dares to disobey a word.
This is the first time Ning Chen enjoys this kind of treatment, and it feels a bit awkward. Men and women are not allowed to get along with each other. Is this considered taking advantage?
Liu Ruoxi's technique is very good and his strength is not light or heavy. It seems that he has received special training and it is difficult to train a courtesan. He has to teach everything. Otherwise, how to deal with those picky officials and nobles.
The auction started, and the woman who was the one who was the one who was just now, wearing a gorgeous palace outfit, looked less gentle and more noble.
Due to the Jiumiao Clutch Flower, today's auction site was extremely popular, with rare treasures one after another. Except for a few big names who were reluctant to send out, the rest of the private rooms have begun to take action.
Ning Chen was jealous of seeing it, but unfortunately he had no money.
Changsun gave him countless things, but he just didn't give him money. Since the war between Daxia and Northern Mongolia started, the treasury has been very nervous. Now he talks about money with Changsun and has no intention of pulling his teeth from a tiger's mouth, which is purely a thrill.
"Now, the ninth treasure auction, Chiyang Iron, thirty kilograms"
As the young woman Hua Xin's red lips opened, a stone platform slowly rose. On the stone platform, a fiery red iron stone the size of a fist was lying quietly, looking dull and without any special features.
This is a rare treasure in the world, but it has lost its refining method. It is a kind of thing that is a pity to buy, but I don’t know how to use it after I buy it.
"The starting price is 10,000 taels of gold," the woman spoke and said.
There was silence inside and outside the box. After a long time, someone added a price lightly.
"Ten thousand taels"
The woman felt relieved. Fortunately, someone offered to buy the rays of yang iron a thousand years ago, which might cause crazy snatching, but today, it would be great if it could be sold.
"Ten thousand one hundred taels"
A calm voice came from the box on the second floor. The woman's heart that was relieved was raised again. This voice was the Marquis of Zhiming!
"Bad guys, do we have money?" Mingyue asked nervously in the box.
"No," Ning Chen replied with certainty.
Mingyue subconsciously looked at Liu Ruoxi behind the bad guy. I heard that the courtesans are all very rich.
When Xiao Mingyue looked at her, Liu Ruoxi shook her head quickly and said, "I don't have money either. I can't bring out a penny of the money I saved over the years."
Mingyue was a little depressed, what should I do?
"Sell her, or sell you," Ning Chen quipped with a smile.
"She is valuable, I am a child, not valuable," Mingyue analyzed very seriously.
"Hehe" Ning Chen pinched the little girl's cheek, a little man and a ghost.
Someone spoke again in the private room where he made a sound, and the price was increased twice. Ning Chen also increased the price, not adding more each time, just one hundred taels. In the end, the people in the private room gave up and stopped talking.
In the end, the transaction price of Chiyang Iron was 13,100 taels, and the price of cabbage was, although it could buy cabbage that was as high as Mijie Mountain.
Ning Chen was actually very shocked about this fist-sized piece of Chiyang Iron. He seemed to have a random price increase, but in fact he was determined to win.
In Taotie's belly, Daokui Jiang Wangji once taught him the Taoist mental method, so he was not unfamiliar with this Chiyang Tie.
Others do not have a method of refining, but he has the Taoist sect's unparalleled weapons and even the Confucian sects are far from each other. After all, the Confucian sect has only been passed down for thousands of years, and before the Dao sect's demise, it has been passed down for tens of thousands of years.
In the remaining time, several rare treasures appeared, causing rounds of competition. Ning Chen and Xiao Ming Yuegan looked at them, staring at them with wide eyes, but they didn't say anything.
If you don’t be a boss, you don’t know how expensive it is, so it’s better to save some money.
"The last treasure, Jiumiao Clutch Flower, starting price, 100,000 taels of gold!"
At this moment, a stone platform made of crystal slowly rose, and the purple divine flowers lie quietly, and suddenly, the whole hall trembled.
Chapter completed!
