Chapter Forty-Nine: The Feast of the Hung Gate
"Mu boy, you were brought in by us, and the pearl of the sea can belong to us. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info "In the treasure viewing room, Chu Evil came to Mu Tian and said.
"Just take it, I have a lot of sea pearls in my house, and most of them are inlaid on each wall as decorations, so I am not rare." Mu Tian pouted and said.
"You're still blowing, why are you so shameless when you're not old." Chu Xianlai looked at Mu Tian with disdain, and Gu Tianying on the side didn't dare to believe Mu Tian's words anymore.
After Shi Jintao finished speaking, he began to send people to distribute sea pearls, and everyone who was present really had one. The unhappiness caused by Fang Cai Long Yuguan's forcible bidding disappeared in an instant. Everyone was overjoyed, and they all congratulated Shi Jintao on the opening of the auction, and the first private auction of the Dragon Domain Auction in Bian Wangcheng was successfully concluded.
As soon as Gu Tianying and the others finished cleaning up, the steward who greeted the guests at the door knocked on the door with two Tsing Yi Xiaosi. Cang Ziling didn't wait for the steward to open his mouth, took out a large stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them over.
Gu Tianying looked at the sea pearl that had just arrived, and smiled at the steward: "That steward, I'll discuss something for you." ”
"Childe, please speak." The steward said respectfully.
"Look, Shi Lao downstairs just now said that this sea pearl is worth at least three thousand taels, and the rejuvenation pill I photographed is exactly three thousand taels, do you say it's a coincidence?" Gu Tianying said with a smile.
The steward was slightly stunned, and said with a strange expression: "Childe, don't you want to use this sea pearl we gave you to offset the silver of this rejuvenation pill?" ”
"Clever! I just warmed up this sea pearl, so let's take it. Gu Tianying raised his hand and handed the sea pearl to the steward.
"Childe, I'm afraid this is a bit unruly, our auction house collects cash and silver tickets, and this has never been the case with goods." The steward said in embarrassment.
"Why not? Aren't they all three thousand taels? Chu Xianlai on the side glared and asked dissatisfiedly: "Could it be that you are lying to us, what sea pearl is not worth three thousand taels at all?" ”
"How can it, this sea pearl is indeed worth a lot of money, definitely above three thousand taels." The steward hurriedly said: "But the son wants to barter, and the villain has to go and say hello to the chief steward." ”
"Forget it, if you don't change it, you won't change it." Gu Tianying knew that Shi Jintao was not an idle person, he could hide and hide, and it was better to cause less trouble, so he took out a silver ticket from his arms and counted three thousand taels and handed it to the steward: "You order, if you turn around, if it is less, I won't admit it." ”
"Childe is joking." The steward took the silver ticket with both hands, and without looking at it too much, he turned around and handed it to a Tsing Yi Xiao Si behind him, fully showing his respect and trust for Gu Tianying and Cang Ziling.
Just after the steward turned around and said goodbye, Bian Xianshu, Zhou Boyi and the others came to Gu Tianying's room, and none of them took any pictures, so they came to Gu Tianying and the others while talking casually.
"This boy looks a little raw." Bian Xianshu looked at Mu Tian who was holding the Qingquan Sword and said kindly, he didn't care too much about Mu Tian before, when he was bidding for the Qingquan Sword, he saw that Mu Tian crushed Lu Baifeng to death at a price, and he was very curious. With such a generous shot, his natural identity is unusual, and looking at Mu Tian at this time, Bian Xianshu actually felt that this young man had a special momentum, which only people who had been in the top position for a long time had this kind of momentum. And Mu Tian looked at it, if it was a person from Bian Wangcheng, Bian Juan would not know him, so he asked.
"We don't know each other again, so we naturally meet each other." Mu Tian glanced at Bian Xianshu like an idiot, and instead of the slightest respect, his tone and expression revealed a trace of disdain.
Bian Jujutsu was choked by Mu Tian and was slightly stunned, but he was not angry, but a little frightened. Because Bian Xianshu could see that Mu Tian didn't care about himself, he didn't pretend to do it on purpose, but he didn't care about him, King Bian, in his heart.
Zhou Bo, who was next to him, was startled when he heard Mu Tian's tone of speech to Bian Xianshu, and wanted to pretend to reprimand, but he didn't know what Mu Tian's name was, so he could only cough dryly, and said with a straight face: "You kid, how can you talk to the city lord." ”
Bian Xianshu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Senior Zhou, may I ask ...... this son and you?"
"Oh, this is the old man's newly acquired apprentice some time ago, not from Lu County." Zhou Bo lied with an undeserved face.
As soon as Bian Xianshu heard that this young man was Zhou Boyi's beloved apprentice, and he was not from Bian Wangcheng, he naturally had no right to ask, so he took a deep look at Mu Tian, who was playing with the Qingquan Sword in his hand on the side, and didn't ask any more.
"Senior Zhou, it's time to eat at this time, if you don't dislike it, how about going to my house for a few drinks together?" Bian Xianshu smiled and sent out an invitation, for Zhou Boyi, who is highly respected in the rivers and lakes of Qingzhou, Bian Xianshu has always been very respectful, and Qingyunguang and Cangbeishan are very good, and Bian Xianshu is more temperamental, several people have not seen each other for many days, this time the invitation to Bian Xianshu is sincere.
"The city lord invited, how can I not go." Zhou Bo said with a smile.
"That's right, I've been thinking about the hundred-year-old incense of the city lord's house for a long time, of course I can't miss it." Qing Yunguang and Cangbeishan also agreed, and if they could get close to the city lord of Bian Wang City, they would naturally not refuse.
A few people walked to the second floor as they spoke, and as soon as they went downstairs, an old man came to them, who was the chief steward of the Dragon Domain Auction House, Shi Jintao.
"The old man was about to go upstairs to invite you, but I didn't expect you to come down first." Shi Jintao first saluted Bian Jujutsu, and said with a smile.
"Oh, what are the stewards waiting for me?" Bian Xianshu knew that the Dragon Domain Auction House and Qingmen were not all the way, so he asked Qing Yunguang doubts very knowingly.
"At this time, it is time for dinner, in order to thank you for your support, I have already set up a banquet in the Eight Immortals Building, I wonder if the city lord and a few distinguished guests are willing to appreciate their faces?" Shi Jintao said sincerely.
Hearing this, several people frowned slightly, as the lord of a city, Bian Xianshu had many places to deal with the passage of the Dragon Domain in the future, so he naturally couldn't help but give Shi Jintao face. However, he had just invited Zhou Bo and the others to the City Lord's Mansion for a drink, and he was embarrassed to retort at this time, so he said with an embarrassed expression: "I have invited a few people to my mansion to have dinner just now, if Zhou Seniors and a few people are willing to go to the Eight Immortal Tower, I will naturally not refuse." In a word, he kicked the ball to Zhou Boyi and others.
"Senior Zhou, I don't know if a few distinguished guests appreciate their faces?" Shi Jintao arched his hand and said, although he is about the same age as Zhou Boyi, but above the rivers and lakes, in the face of Zhou Boyi, he still has to be honored as a senior.
"I don't dare to take the word senior, since Shi Lao is warmly invited, the old man is naturally honored." Zhou Boyi bowed his hand and saluted back.
"I'm going to go with you." Qing Yunguang and Cangbeishan glanced at each other and nodded in agreement. Although the passage of the Dragon Domain and the broad sea are good, on the surface, it does not tear its face apart. Therefore, Qingyunguang and Cangbeishan are not easy to refute Shi Jintao's face, and today's Longyu Pass is sending invitations, and they are chasing each other with Caifeng, and now they are here to show their favor and invite dinner, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this Dragon Domain, both of them want to explore, and this is also the task given to Qing Yunguang by Jinglong, the master of Qingmenmen.
The group followed Shi Jintao out of the Dragon Domain Auction Hall, and several carriages outside the venue had been waiting for a long time.
"Everyone, please get in the car." Shi Jintao said politely.
"Steward Shi is too thoughtful to prepare, but I am a rough person, and I am really not used to sitting in a carriage, so I am still comfortable on horseback." Qing Yunguang waited for Bian Xianshu and Zhou Boyi to get into the carriage, and then said. To go to the banquet at the Dragon Domain Auction House, they have to ride horses, otherwise if they really fight, they won't have a mount if they want to escape.
"It's okay, the old man will lead the way in front of the head." Shi Jintao got into the first carriage, and the coachman waved his whip, and the carriage went straight to the Eight Immortal Towers in Bian Wangcheng from slow to fast. Qing Yunguang and the others turned over their horses and followed on both sides of the second carriage where Zhou Boyi and Bian Xianshu were, and chased after them.
Immediately, Gu Tianying turned his head to look at Mu Tian who was riding a horse and following him, frowned and said: "I said Mu Tian, don't follow, you also went to the auction hall, and you can be regarded as overwhelming the crowd in the auction, I will give you the Qingquan Sword, and the horses that sit down will also be given to you, where should you go, don't follow." ”
"No, you are my eldest brother, of course I have to follow you, besides, the old man surnamed Shi just said, invite a few of us to dinner, it can be regarded as inviting me, Baxian Lou, why don't you bring me free good wine and good food." Mu Tian said dissatisfiedly.
"Have you ever heard a sentence that there is no free lunch in the world, do you think the food in the Dragon Domain Auction House is so delicious?" Gu Tianying glared at Mu Tian and said, "If you want to eat one day, you will spend your own money, most of the things will change at this dinner tonight, and you should not go to the land of right and wrong." ”
"Mu Tian, what your eldest brother said this time is right, this meal is not so delicious, let's go, obedient." Cang Ziling on the side spoke for Gu Tianying for the first time.
"If you say that, then I'll have to go, I'm the best at fighting, and if I really do it, I'll definitely be able to help." Mu Tian said confidently.
"If you want to run fast with your small body, I believe that you are really not enough to see in a fight." Chu Xianlai pursed his lips and sneered.
Mu Tian had the heart to shout with Chu Evil, but looking at his black bear-like head and the horse under his seat that was panting under him, he couldn't bear it and didn't dare to squeak.
"I don't care, I'll go wherever you go." Mu Tian looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. "If you don't let me follow, break my leg."
As soon as Gu Tianying heard this, one head and two big, it seemed that he would really not be able to get rid of this cheap little brother for a while.
"Okay, I don't object to you following me, but you have to look at my eyes when you get to the place, even if you fart, you have to get my permission." Gu Tianying said: "Once something happens, flee immediately, don't care about anything, if it is difficult to protect ourselves with our skills, it will be useless for you to stay, you know?" ”
"The eldest brother explains, the younger brother understands!" Mu Tian said solemnly.
The group rushed to the Eight Immortals Tower, Gu Tianying looked up at the sky, the bright moon loomed in the dark clouds, the high wind and the dark moon, tonight is not suitable for calm.
