The Xia Dynasty is now competing with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Helian clan, which has still lost its unification of Wancheng, naturally can't take out the extra silver taels to buy a jade seal that is purely symbolic.

However, the figures who can make decisions from all parties in this auction will gather in Qiu Chi, and there is no better opportunity to persuade other countries to fight against Wei together.

Qin Zhongzhi pointed to the words Beiyan on the bamboo slip again, "I care more about Beiyan." They have always been in a safe corner, and now they can't help but stir in. ”

"Beiyan?" Tan Yuyu was stunned for a moment before remembering this country that was isolated from the Central Plains by the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Qin Zhongzhi said: "The lord of the Northern Yan Kingdom has always had close contacts with Goguryi, and this time I came, it is difficult to guarantee that it was not instructed by Goguryi. ”

Tan Zhaoyu frowned, but he was particularly concerned about this matter, "Arrange someone to investigate secretly, even if it is a fake jade seal, I don't plan to let him flow out of the Central Plains." ”

Qin Zhongzhi nodded to indicate that he understood.

Invite Yu asked again, "What about the clan and Zoroastrianism?" Nothing moving? ”

"The Langya Wang clan is here, but they have already stated that they want to bid together with the Southern Song Dynasty." Qin Zhongzhi said, "The same is true of the Cui family. They are now tied up with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and they will definitely stand on the same front with the Northern Wei Dynasty at this time. In addition, at present, only Cui Wang and his family said that they were the sons and nephews of their younger generation who came to the auction. It is not clear who the messenger is. ”

Tan Invite Yu asked, "How is the Xie family?" ”

Qin Zhongzhi shook his head, "After Xie Hui's accident, the Xie family was implicated no matter what. Now their patriarch has no real power, and he has always been timid in doing things, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault. If you get involved with such a thing as a jade seal, the patriarch will not be involved. ”

"Then let's take the lead for the Xie family." Tan invited Yu to say, "If necessary, you can also help raise the price." ”

Qin Zhongzhi said worriedly: "If the Xie family finally denies it? ”

Tan Yuyu snorted coldly, "No matter how bad the Xie family patriarch is, he won't be stupid to that point." Tell them that if they want to return to Liu Song's power class and regain the glory of the clan in the past, they must help Liu Yilong in the matter of the jade seal. Tell the Xie family that if it weren't for the face of my mother and uncle, I would never help them. ”

At this time, Zimo suddenly interjected and asked: "With your move, Liu Songke will be sure of the jade seal." You really don't mind if the jade seal ends up in the hands of Liu Yilong? ”

Tan Yuyu yawned, and a few tears immediately squeezed out of the corners of her eyes, she was obviously sleepy, "It doesn't matter who gets it." For us...... It doesn't matter how much money is used...... It is more important who Zoroastrianism is associated with. ”

Qin Zhongzhi saw that Invite Yu's eyelids were almost open, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Girl, let's go and rest first." Now there is no news about Zoroastrianism, and the rest can be dealt with by a certain son, Mo Langjun. ”

The matter was almost over, Tan Yuyu no longer shirked, yawned and went back to his dormitory to sleep. Zimo didn't follow, always looking at her back and frowning.

"But what's wrong?" Qin Zhongzhi asked Zimodao, "If you are not at ease, go with the girl, and it is enough for someone here to take care of you." ”

Zimo shook his head unexpectedly, "Yu'er's lethargy has been serious recently. Obviously, after going to the snowy mountains, it has been a long time since I made it. As a result, he was framed by Zoroastrianism and fell into the incense ......"

Zimo turned his face to Qin Zhongzhi and said, "Investigate the affairs of the forces of all parties, and leave it to me." ”

Qin Zhongzhi looked at Zimo in surprise, is the sun coming out in the west today? Zimo actually took the initiative to do errands other than Tan Yuyu! Immediately, he realized that this matter was not unrelated to Invite Rain.

Sure enough, Zimo then said coldly: "No matter how deep they hide, I will definitely find Zoroastrianism, and then crush them all!" ”

Zimo was willing to help, and Qin Zhongzhi naturally couldn't ask for it. He hurriedly told Zimo everything he had found before, and the rest depended on how much Zimo could find out.

The auction was scheduled for July 25. This is mainly because Invite Yu will rush to the Xingshilou on the auspicious day of the zodiac on August 14. Participate in the selection of landlords.

Since the entire Qiu Chi was preparing for the auction, the sixteenth birthday of Invite Yu in June was hurriedly skipped, and he just had a hasty get-together with people close to him, and Invite Yu had Zimo's permission to drink a few glasses of wine to satisfy his hunger.

Tan Yuyu didn't feel aggrieved, compared to last year, when the Cui family celebrated her in a big way, she would rather only spend this day with the person she liked.

Just after the birthday of Invite Yu, the people in charge of bidding from various countries arrived one by one.

There are two top priorities in the preparation for this auction.

One is law and order in the country. In order to prevent the forces of all parties from not being more wealthy than the riches, but trying to steal and rob openly, Qin Zhongzhi deliberately requisitioned all the Lu Shuihu people to participate in the defense of the country.

Of course, according to the previous agreement, fifty percent of these Lu Shuihu people are free, and the other fifty percent are hired by the treasury with money. caused Qin Zhongzhi to feel a pain in his flesh.

No matter who is the envoy of the various forces, they can only bring ten guards with them. More guards could be stationed three miles outside Qiu Chi to facilitate the dispatch of domestic envoys.

If any of the forces on either side can win the jade seal, Qiu Chi will be responsible for sending the envoy, along with the jade seal, to the envoy's escort three miles away. Once the envoy arrives in the convoy, whether he lives or dies after that has nothing to do with Qiu Chi.

In addition, when the envoys of various countries arrived at Qiuchi, they were arranged to live in separate courtyards.

This is the second focus of this auction.

In order to highlight the preciousness of the fake jade seal, Tan Zhaoyu did not hesitate to spend a lot of silver money to renovate the Qiuchi Palace in Wudu for the envoys to live in.

Qiu Chi had been closed off from the country in order to protect himself. There are very few envoys from other countries in the country, so the post house is small and dilapidated, which is obviously not suitable for these big people to live.

Thinking about it, only by renovating the old palace can the envoys live comfortably, and it is convenient for the Qiu Chi army to monitor all parties.

Tan Invite Yu has made a lot of money this time. The renovation of the palace cost a lot, and even she herself was reluctant to repair the old palace and live in it, so she has been in the Yin Parallel Palace.

There is no formal court hall in the Yin Parallel Palace, and every time you go to the court, there are several officials who can only stand outside the door because they can't stand. Fortunately, Tan Zhaoyu is not in the country all the year round, otherwise it would be a little embarrassing to continue like this.

After this auction, the entire power center of Qiu Chi will be relocated back to Wudu County. Therefore, the officials of the DPRK and China themselves are busy arranging the move. It seems that Qiu Chi is rarely busy and lively.

The sons and nephews of several clans arrived first. The first to arrive was Wang Jiagolang, the younger brother of Wang Hua, a close confidant of Emperor Liu Song.

followed by the eleventh lang of the Cui family, Cui Hao's youngest son.

What Ying Yu didn't expect was that the Xie family also sent someone.
