Chapter 486: The Auction Begins!

Although Chu Xuanji felt that this matter was very inappropriate, but looking at Hua Duxiu's confident appearance, it was not good to stop again and again.

He pondered whether to ask Steward Song for a favor and send a team of warriors to escort him at that time.

After all, the warriors of Baibao Manor are far more elite than the official officials, not to mention the ordinary Xiaoxiao, even if they meet the masters of the rivers and lakes, they are not afraid at all. Even many wealthy people come here to spend, and occasionally ask for limited protection from Baibao Manor, and most of them agree.

But before he could speak, Young Master Hua had already taken Ding Qiqi and walked towards the stone buildings in the center.

Chu Xuanji sighed, put down his thoughts and chased after him.

came to the central stone building to make a report, and Steward Song personally came down to greet them.

Goodbye Steward Song, his level of enthusiasm is not at all comparable to a few days ago.

Steward Song grabbed Hua Duxiu's left hand and said with a smile: "Oh boy, you only knew that you were coming, I should have come down to greet you, hurry up, sit upstairs." ”

Hua Duxiu smiled and said, "Brother Song is polite, the auction opens today, you are very busy, right?"

Steward Song waved his hand again and again: "I'm just one of the stewards, just let my colleagues do a lot of things, of course, it's more important to receive the dude." By the way, there are a few chiefs who happen to be there, do you want to meet them?"

Hua Duxiu said: "Forget it, I'm just here to auction something, and it's not an official visit, I'm already embarrassed to disturb Brother Song, so I won't bother your boss anymore." ”

Steward Song said politely: "Where, it is a contemptible honor to cooperate with a playboy." ”

Hua Duxiu said: "That's the case, I've never participated in the auction conference, and today I caught up and wanted to come for a long time, I wonder if Brother Song can arrange a private seat, so that the three of me can observe it on the spot?"

Steward Song was stunned: "The playboy wants to watch the auction process in person?"

Hua Duxiu said: "That's exactly what it means. ”

Song Guan let the three of them into the stone building in advance, and said in a low voice: "There is naturally no problem with on-site observation, but most of the guests who come to bid are people from the rivers and lakes, and they are very wary of each other. ”

Hua Duxiu said: "Who else dares to trouble me?"

Steward Song smiled wryly.

Childe, you are enough to be a cow, you fight in the city every night, how many houses have collapsed, the city lord just blocks and arrests people, he knows that you can't afford to provoke you, but those people from outside the county have never heard of your name.

Every one of those people who is vegetarian, let them remember you, can they still be good?

Steward Song said helplessly: "Childe, as the saying goes, more things are better than less, I definitely don't worry about your safety, not only are all guests who come, in case anyone who doesn't open his eyes wants to touch a moldy head, you injured and disabled him, and the reputation of our Baibao Manor is not good." ”

Hua Duxiu nodded again and again: "I see, it's because I didn't think about it well, if I kill someone, it will indeed bring trouble to you and your manor." Okay, then I'll listen to Brother Song's arrangement. ”

Steward Song was obviously relieved, and after chatting a few more words, he led Hua Duxiu and the others to the second floor.

Chu Xuanji was stunned when he watched it from behind.

What's the situation, the last time I talked about the dude, you didn't have such an enthusiastic attitude?

Although I don't want to get into trouble, it's not as respectful as it is today, right?

Could it be that what happened in these three days?

Brother Hua's identity was inquired about by Steward Song?

It can only be explained in this way.

Chu Xuanji didn't hear any rumors, it was because he didn't like to go out, and there were no news channels, but Steward Song was a middle-level cadre of Baibao Manor, Baibao Manor was not only a place to trade all kinds of rare and exotic treasures, but also an intermediary to sell information, especially the subordinate Sticky Pole Division is one of the best intelligence organizations in the rivers and lakes, and what happened in the county town in the past few days naturally can't be hidden from Steward Song.

Fighting and making trouble in the city is nothing, wild magicians and people from the rivers and lakes fight in the city from time to time, but it is really rare for young master Hua to fight with people for five days in a row, and always fight in one block, and the government is still completely watching from the wall, only pulling the cordon to disperse the onlookers, but not planning to arrest people.

This is the county town, it is the capital of a county, it is not a remote town, the city lord's mansion has a large number of warriors who can fight well, and the county lord's mansion is even more mastery.

Ten people can't get you, 100 people you try? 1,000 people?

The abnormal phenomenon shows that the true identity of Young Master Hua is by no means simple.

Thinking of the information given by the Sticky Pole Division, as well as the attitude of the leaders above who deliberately avoided it, Steward Song naturally knew that this young master could provide the best, at least not in his area of authority.

Coming to the second floor, Steward Song led everyone into the hall.

It was a huge boxy hall, with a metal chandelier on the north ceiling that was far larger than normal understanding, with dozens of white candles stuck in it, and heavy stone walls on all sides, with no windows, only one passage in and out, and the large iron door was three inches thick, which was unusually strong.

To the north is a wooden platform three feet above the ground, which is supposed to be used by auctioneers to display competing works, and there are more than a dozen rows of benches around the wooden platform, which can roughly accommodate hundreds of people.

At the moment, it was empty.

Hua Duxiu said: "It's already dark, when will it start?"

Steward Song smiled: "It's almost there, there is still half an hour." In a few moments, I ordered a private room to be separated by a wooden platform, and I sat down in the private room with you. ”

Hua Duxiu nodded with satisfaction.

This hall occupies almost the entire second floor, except for the staircase, where there is still some space, and now it is empty and looks very empty. The surrounding stone walls are apparently particularly reinforced, with thick steel bars exposed in the corners.

Hua Duxiu deliberately accentuated his steps, feeling a thick echo under his feet, and even the floor was a thickened slate.

If someone makes trouble here, as soon as the big iron gate closes, the auction hall immediately becomes the strongest cage, and it is really difficult to fly with wings.

After a brief introduction, Steward Song said, "There is still half an hour, everyone will come to my office for a cup of tea and wait for a while." ”

Hua Duxiu said, "Okay." ”

Everyone sat down in the parlor, chatted a few words, drank tea for a while, and a samurai knocked on the door and entered, bowed and said:

"Lord Song, the VIP hall of the auction hall has been set up, and it will be a quarter of an hour before the guests will be allowed in. ”

Steward Song got up and said, "Dude, let's take a step ahead, let's go to the VIP hall and sit down before the other guests arrive." ”

Hua Duxiu got up and said, "Yes." ”

Back on the second floor, at the very front of the auction house, near the wooden table, a simple single room has been built with a screen and brocade cloth that is closed on three sides, one side facing the wooden table.

There are four Taishi chairs in the single room, the chairs are covered with soft cotton mounds, and there is a small coffee table in front of each chair, on which is placed a small purple sand pot, a delicate water cup, a fruit bowl, and a plate of melon seeds.

In the corner of the VIP area, there is a simple hanger with three sets of high-necked black capes and three black hats.

Compared with the hundreds of simple and crude benches in the back, this "VIP area" really deserves its name.

Hua Duxiu said with a smile: "Brother Song is really a good hand at management, he has made such a meticulous compartment in such a short time, my little brother admires it, thank you." ”

Steward Song said: "Polite, polite." In fact, we will have some special status guests here from time to time, and the VIP area is also a standing facility, nothing. Let's sit down first, and in a moment the other guests will come in. ”

Hua Duxiu and Steward Song sat in the middle, Ding Qiqi was next to Hua Duxiu, and Chu Xuanji had to sit next to Steward Song on the other side.

After chatting a few words, an order came from the passage, and two teams of black-clad and black-pants guards with knives entered the hall, each found a place to stand, separated the wooden platform, the VIP area and the guest area behind, and formed a circle against the stone wall, and the atmosphere in the auction hall immediately became serious.

Immediately after the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the iron gate, the guests who had come to tonight's auction entered in turn, each finding a seat to take his seat.

Hua Duxiu can't see them, and they can't see Hua Duxiu.

There were a lot of people coming in, about three or four hundred people before and after listening to the footsteps, but so many people came in and no one spoke, and there was hardly any sound except the footsteps, and it was obvious that the many guards in the hall brought enough oppressive atmosphere to the guests.

After a quarter of an hour, the footsteps died down, and the big iron door creaked and slammed shut.

A bewitching woman in a long black dress walked slowly onto the wooden platform, first bowed slightly to the VIP hall where Hua Duxiu was located, and then bowed to the front seating area, and said heartily:

"Thank you bosses for coming, our Bailong County Town Auction House is full of brilliance. First of all, I'm tonight's host, Yingying. ”

Hua Duxiu looked up and down at the woman who called herself Yingying, this woman looked like she was about twenty-five or sixteen, but she was very generous and sophisticated, and her actual age should be a few years older.

Yingying's steps are steady, there is an extraordinary aura surging between her gestures, and she does not restrain at all, she is obviously a practitioner with good internal skills.

Yingying said an opening remark and quickly went straight to the point and started tonight's auction.

Two maids carried an oblong, pot-lid-sized object to the stage, and gently placed it on a stand more than five feet high.

Yingying introduced with a smile on her face: "Bosses, this is the first competing product tonight - 'Jinpeng Glass Shield'." This hand shield is a shield made by the late Master Huang Peng of the Heavenly Hidden Gate, and this is one of the less than three known collections of the same level in the world. Its material is black iron concentrate that has been refined and forged, which is not only extremely hard, but also extremely light and thin, only weighing less than a catty. On the surface of the hand shield, Master Huang Jinpeng has plated a layer of special glass with a unique secret method, which can significantly shield the damage of the five elements spells of each system, and can reflect and disturb the true qi in the opponent's body. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a whisper in the guest area, and it was obvious that many people were moved.

Hua Duxiu's face was inexplicable, shielding the damage of the five elements spells of each system, and it could shock and disturb the true qi in the opponent's body?

What is this feature?

What kind of celebrity is Huang Jinpeng?

Hua Duxiu can't understand it, it doesn't mean that others present can't understand it.

If it is placed in the Mobei Realm, or the Trapped Demon Valley, this thing is a simple hand shield, which is nothing more than lighter and stronger, but in the realm of the Five Elements Heaven and Earth, there are master magicians everywhere, and people basically rely on the Five Elements Magic to fight with each other, and the value of this thing is great, and it is a treasure that can save life at a critical moment.

Yingying smiled and waited for a few breaths, and when the discussion quieted down a little, Yingying made a move back and said loudly:

"Next, I invite the Zijin Sect Chihuai real person to come on the field and demonstrate the super protective performance of the 'Jinpeng Glass Shield' for the bosses!"
