The general of the empire did not look kind, but a fierce man at first glance. His face was gloomy at this time, which made people frightened at first sight, and they knew that he had been on the battlefield for a long time and was not a good character.

When he heard the words '500,000 gold', his face suddenly turned blue, and he immediately turned his head to Feng Gongyunyi, wanting to see if it was the one who was not afraid of death and dared to compete with the imperial family.

The imperial general saw that Feng Gongyun was young, his aura was strong, and he was already at the rank of an immortal, if it was about strength, he was almost the same as himself, and his dress should belong to the disciples of the Great Gate Sect.

"This is..., are you going to investigate the origin of this guy?" The Imperial General summoned one of his cronies.

The cronies replied: "General, judging from their dress, it seems that they are from Wuyi Mountain, and they don't look like ordinary disciples, if necessary, I will wait for this to solve this trouble for the general, I am afraid that most of the other party does not know our identity, otherwise they will not compete with the royal family for things." When this cronie said this, he probably didn't even believe it, they were all wearing military uniforms, and as long as the other side was not stupid, he could read some information from this military uniform.

"No, I'll go over in person, since it's from Wuyi Mountain, you must not mess around, let's figure things out first." The Imperial General raised his big hand and stood up and said.

He is in the empire and holds important positions, but he has a lot of dealings with these big factions in the rivers and lakes.

Not to mention that this time it is for a mere camellia, it is these gate factions that do more out-of-the-ordinary things, and the imperial royal family can only turn a blind eye and not bother with these gate factions.

First, because it is completely unnecessary, and secondly, because the territory of the empire still depends on the protection of these major sects.

Seeing the imperial general coming over, Feng Gongyun also got up and stepped forward.

"Below is the son of the head of Wuyi Mountain's Feng Gongjin, Feng Gongyunyi, I saw that this friend was dressed as a soldier, presumably entrusted by the imperial family, and came here to bid for the millennium camellia?" Feng Gongyun was polite when he spoke.

As soon as the general heard Feng Gongyi's words, he seemed to understand something, and the other party had already known his identity and dared to fight with him, which showed that the other party was very determined.

"It turned out to be the eldest son of Feng Gongjin, the name of the eldest son, I have also heard of it, but it is just that the eldest prince has been meditating in the mountains, and he has never seen the face of the son, and when I see it today, I feel that the rumors in the rivers and lakes are true, the son is really dignified and talented, this is really a blessing for my Great Xia Empire."

After the polite words were finished, the general immediately said: "Yes, I was ordered by the royal family to come here for Camellia, but I didn't expect that Gongzi was also interested in it, which is a little difficult." The general saluted as he clenched his fists.

Of course, his identity is a general, but it is slightly different from other generals, the general is a military general, when he dies on the battlefield, guarding the border, that is not full of vicissitudes, but his face is white, he is in the palace, and he appoints the position of general of the palace guard army to directly ensure the safety of the imperial city, because the people who deal with him are basically people in the royal family, and his status is better than that of other generals.

"It's really unfortunate, I was also instructed by my father, expecting to bring the camellia back to Wuyi Mountain, so the general is bound to win, and he will definitely not give in?" Feng Gongyun said bluntly.

Since he wasn't going to give the camellia to anyone from the beginning, he wouldn't give in to whoever came here to compete with him, even if it was the Empire, so what?

Without the protection of these sects, with the help of those rice bucket armies of the empire, how could they resist the attack of the Demon Domain?

"Childe, should you fight with Hua Guifei for this thing?" The general laughed.

Hua Guifei, now the most favored princess of the empire.

Feng Gongyunyi has heard a little about this person, she was originally the eldest lady of Nanning Mansion, and later was sent to the palace and became the emperor's favorite concubine, generally these big families, who have daughters, will wait for their daughters to mature and be sent to the palace, first selected by the emperor, and then the marriage of the big family, this big family, secretly protect their family status is just a big weapon, yes, it is to treat women as a protective weapon.

And this Hua Guifei is both talented and beautiful, and she is a cultivator, since she entered the palace at the age of sixteen, she has been favored by the emperor, and the speed of promotion can be seen.

Feng Gongyun thought that this was the emperor's order at the beginning of the first period, if that was the case, it would make him a little jealous, and when he heard that it was just an order from a concubine, then he naturally would not back down, even if this was still a favorite concubine.

"It turned out to be something that Hua Guifei took a fancy to, I don't know what Hua Guifei wants this thing for?" Feng Gongyi asked.

"There are too many problems with Childe, in fact, we are just acting on orders, and I definitely don't want to offend you Childe because of this, and I don't want to be very unhappy with Wuyi Mountain." The general said.

Oh?

"These words are also what I want to say, this camellia is also extremely important to Wuyi Mountain, I'm afraid I can't let the general take it easily."

"Then rely on their respective strengths and take away the camellia, right?" The general didn't say much, the matter was already obvious, he couldn't fight with the people of Wuyishan because of this matter, so rely on pure wealth and strength.

"The general is leaving, go back and say hello to Hua Guifei, today's matter is really a helpless move." Feng Gongyi also found a way out for himself, even if he wanted to offend a person, he couldn't offend this person to death, and he would become a big trouble in the future.

Although Hua Guifei sits firmly in the harem and does not ask about political affairs, she is the emperor's pillow person, if she is in her heart, she wants to move to Wuyi Mountain, and often talks in the emperor's ear to wear small shoes for Wuyi Mountain, then Wuyi Mountain will inevitably suffer on the royal family's side, although Wuyi Mountain is not afraid of what the royal family will do to themselves, but many things have to rely on the royal family.

"Definitely, definitely, I will tell the concubine Niangniang about today's events as it is, and I believe that the concubine Niangniang will definitely remember the good of the son." The general sneered and returned to his seat with his men.

The auction was interrupted for a while, and then continued, and the price of the millennium camellia was fixed at 450,000 gold.

Those who can still compete have to consider two issues.

is more than 450,000 gold, can they get it?

Is it really worth it to fight against Wuyishan or Hua Guifei?

So many people took the initiative to give up the competition, and now Feng Gongyi and the imperial general are left to fight-for-tat.

"Feng Gonggong, is it really worth bargaining with the royal family?" Han Ningzi asked after Feng Gongyun came back.

"How about the royal family, what are you afraid of, this is fair competition, the highest price wins, if I can't come up with the money, this camellia will naturally be theirs." Feng Gongyun said.

"Aren't you afraid, in case the above blames you?"

"Wuyi Mountain is not afraid of anyone."

"I'll pay 500,000 gold." The general shouted back to his seat.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand." Feng Gongyunyi then shouted, he doesn't have so much money in hand now, but with the 200,000 gold in Mr. Song's hand, he has almost 650,000 gold, this time Feng Gongyunyi plans to break the boat, even if he loses to the empire, he will definitely not lose in momentum.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand gold, the other party is planning to do it with us, Wuyishan is so desperate this time, general, do we want to?" Beside the Imperial General, a cronie whispered in his ear.

"What are you going to say, are we going to give up, you think you don't want to give up? But how to explain to Hua Guifei, you have to be clear, we are serving the royal family, Hua Guifei is now a celebrity around the emperor, offending her, you and I have to lose our heads, her order is the emperor's order, just a Wuyi Mountain, dare to confront the royal family, I see how capable they are. ”

"It's just that I'm worried that after the incident, we will inevitably have a conflict with Wuyi Mountain."

"I give them two guts, they will never dare, these gate factions are used to pampering and treating them on weekdays, they have not been taught a lesson, they always think that the empire will not deal with them, you are still too young, now the empire is wantonly reducing the family's army and status, returning the army and finance to centralized power, you think this step is the big family, so what does the emperor plan to do next, these gate factions, countless disciples, have long affected the solid foundation of the empire." The general's point is not all his speculation, but a well-founded fact.

He has been in the court for so many years, even if he doesn't study these things in depth, he can always taste one or two, since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious by nature, and there can only be one master in thousands of miles, that is, the emperor.

"Could it be that the empire is going to move these sects next?"

"It's good that you understand, the emperor didn't say that, you know what the consequences will be if you say it." The general said coldly.

"Subordinates understand, subordinates understand." This cronie has a sallow face.

"Then you should know what to do now, don't be afraid of anything, the Great Xia Empire has always been the Great Xia Empire, the emperor's empire, not these big sects." After the general finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank it comfortably.

"We will pay 600,000 gold, no matter what price the other party offers, we will pay 50,000 gold more on his price." The general's cronies stepped forward and shouted loudly.

As soon as these words came out, Feng Gongyi almost spit out a mouthful of blood, and the other party's intention was obvious, and he did not hesitate to offend Wuyi Mountain.

"Gongzi Feng, I don't think it's as good as this, no matter what, you can't fight the royal family, it's better to be a favor and give the camellia to the royal family, you also saw it, and now the reaction over there is very resolute." Han Ningzi said.

"Only a fool will fight with the empire for money." Yuan Mingyu added on the side.

"Damn, it's too much of a deception." Feng Gongyun pinched the fan in his hand and smashed it.

"Why should Childe be angry? If you want to calculate carefully, you and I, Qi Baishan, Wuyi Mountain, Ximen, all the sects, are just surviving on the territory of the empire, this world is all empire, and the empire is royal, against them, how can there be a good end, I know that Gongzi is also a person in temperament, not afraid of power, but power is power, I advise you, don't make trouble for Wuyi Mountain, it's better to set yourself on fire, okay?" Han Ningzi calmly advised.

"That's it, even if it's a fight today, I can't fight for them, but I won't just forget it, the two of you, I'm going to say goodbye, and when he arrives, I'll visit Qi Baishan, and then the two of you will meet." Feng Gongyun is embarrassed today, how can there be any need to continue to stay here?

He threw off his sleeves and walked away with the disciples of Wuyi Mountain.

At the auction, the camellia was obtained by the imperial family, and the final price was also finalized at 650,000 gold, I have to say, this still made the royal family hemorrhage, if it wasn't for Feng Gongyunyi, the royal family could at least rely on its reputation to deter other bidders, then maybe it would be half the price less, this general is also a belly of hatred, if you go back to Hua Guifei, maybe you will end up with a punishment that is unfavorable.
