Chapter 26: The Gap
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
No one noticed, and no one paid attention to Chu Yunsheng, who was a little stunned, and the discussion continued.
"The demon princess of the Chen Kingdom?"
"Exactly. ”
"But, didn't you say that the thirteenth princess was given to death by the little princess of Yan Kingdom?"
"Yes, I also heard that she was stubborn and died a martyr. ”
"What is martyrdom with death, it is clearly that I feel ashamed of Chen Guo and apologize for my sins with death. ”
The last sentence, listening to Chu Yunsheng's ears, only felt extraordinarily ironic.
You don't need to ask, you know that this person must be Chen Guo's.
The discussion of everyone's gossip continued, but she had no intention of listening to it anymore, and all she could think about was what this red sleeve trick was doing.
As the demon princess herself, she has long since died and her bones have turned to ashes, where can she still appear here for auction. She couldn't figure it out, she couldn't guess, so she could only act on the opportunity.
The discussion continued, and at this time, four veiled and boldly revealing women came out of the stage, and each walked to the nine lamps in front of the four pillars, and extinguished the eight wicks on it, leaving only one.
All of a sudden, the light on the huge platform dimmed instantly.
And the audience became more and more dim, even if Chu Yunsheng and Dumb were at the same table, they couldn't see the peach mask that Dumb was wearing clearly from such a close distance.
The sheng song on the stage gradually rose, and the four women danced when they heard the song, their movements were bold and frivolous, and their graceful figures loomed under the semi-transparent tulle, causing the audience to frequently sound the sound of swallowing saliva.
After a song, the four of them were already drenched in sweat and panting.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked to Taichung, stood in front of the four women, and said aloud to the crowd who were black and faceless: "This is the four maids who have spent several years and invested a lot of energy in training. ”
The middle-aged man looked mediocre, but his eyes were extraordinarily shrewd, and as he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the four women, who immediately understood, raised his hand, and took the veil on his face.
At the moment when the veil was removed, Chu Yunsheng clearly heard that the breathing sound of many people in the audience involuntarily increased slightly.
The beauty Chu Yunsheng didn't see much, and the one she remembered the most was naturally her aunt. And searching through Qin Yunjin's memories, in addition to riding horses and fighting in battle, military life, I really haven't seen many stunning beauties.
So she didn't judge the women in front of her very much, but if it was compared to her aunt's beauty, it was more than one level worse.
But seeing the reaction of these people around him, it should have been good.
Then, the audience began to bid.
"Five hundred taels. ”
"Six hundred taels. ”
"I'll give you eight hundred taels. ”
"One thousand taels. ”
……
The bidding came and went, although he extremely didn't like to be sold like a cattle, but Chu Yunsheng still couldn't help but smack his tongue, these people bidding at the bottom were really some high-rollers.
You must know that the food and clothing of an ordinary family of three for a month adds up to only one or two silvers, and the red-sleeved tricks of she, Dumb, and the coachman who lived for this night are already very luxurious, and the cost of staying in the hotel is only twenty taels.
And these people, the price of random export is simply sky-high for ordinary people.
Seeing the end, he was stopped by a "thousand five hundred taels" from the audience, and the middle-aged man on the stage smiled with no eyes, and immediately led the four women to handle the handover with the high-roller who was bidding.
And the eyes of the four women were as calm as water from beginning to end, without the slightest fear and panic, not the slightest unwillingness to be humiliated, not even anger and grievance.
They seem to have been accustomed to this kind of goods, from here to other places, and from other places to other places, I saw that their expressions were calm, as bright as flowers, but there was a wisp of decay that did not match their age in the depths of their eyes, Chu Yunsheng saw it clearly, a little distressed, but helpless.
Survive in troubled times, and you can't help yourself.
She's not a savior, she's not a high-roller who can spend a lot of money with a hand, she hasn't even scraped up enough for her hotel for tomorrow, she can't even save herself now, where to save others.
Blame this troubled world, blame this world of constant strife, and can't give the poor people a peaceful and peaceful life.
While his mind was floating, there had been several rounds of auctions on the stage, and sure enough, there were swords, cheats, and peerless masters discussed in the crowd before.
The auction after the auction pushed the atmosphere of the entire hall to a high level. Tide.
Chu Yunsheng was still thinking about who was more powerful than the swordsman who had just been auctioned for five hundred taels, and at this time, the old shopkeeper walked to Taichung.
I saw his shrewd eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the audience, and when the whole audience was silent and his attention was focused on him, he cleared his throat and raised his hand to make a gesture behind the high platform.
Then, I saw six burly men carrying a huge box to the stage.
The box was covered with a black cloth, so it was impossible to see inside.
Seeing that everyone's eyes saw the box, the shopkeeper raised his hand and stroked his gray beard with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "There is a distinguished guest, it is inconvenient for him to come forward, entrust me to take out this treasure for auction, and wait for the curtain to be uncovered, what you see, what you hear, please don't be surprised, and, for the sake of the friendship between the red sleeves and you over the years, after walking out of this red sleeves tomorrow, please also leave the memory of tonight's events here, don't spread it out." ”
It was the first time that Xu had seen the shopkeeper in such a mysterious state, and between his words, the price of the items in the box and their preciousness and importance were already too high.
The high-rollers in the audience whispered, but at the same time, their eyes did not want to miss every detail on the stage.
After satisfying everyone's appetite, the shopkeeper was able to clap his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, please see." ”
As the sound of his clapping hands fell, the huge box covered with black cloth was pulled up in a corner, and with a fierce force, a whole piece of black cloth was removed.
"Ahh
"Yikes!"
"Oh my God!
"Sure enough, it's her!"
When I saw the qiē on the stage, a uniform gasping sound sounded in all directions.
There was a lot of noise around, but Chu Yunsheng couldn't even hear half a word, she looked at the stage with burning eyes, the huge cage made of dark iron that was exposed after the black cloth was removed, and the defenseless woman in the cage.
