Chapter 13
Mu Zichun happily played with the hairpin that had been traded, but Mu Lei in front of him turned his head back violently, looking at the corner he had just walked through, Mu Ziming and Mu Ziji noticed Mu Lei's movements and turned their heads at the same time, but there was nothing.
Mu Lei turned his head back with a slight hesitation, Mu Ziji and the two looked at each other and saw the thoughtfulness in each other's eyes, and at the same time they didn't look away, but Mu Zichun, who was addicted to the hairpin, didn't notice it at all, and never left the hairpin.
"It's also a fifth-order, dare to send someone over, it seems that this Zhao Gongzi is not a master who is easy to offend. Mu Lei had a calculation in his heart, this time he was bidding with Zhao Gongzi in public, which made him lose face, and it could be regarded as a tie.
The three of them followed Mu Leidong to walk around, and they didn't return to the hotel after walking for a long time, which made Mu Ziming and the two of them more determined in their thoughts, but could they get rid of him in this way.
"Next is the penultimate piece of Xuanjing wood that we are auctioning today, this piece of wood weighs thirty kilograms, can be used to make some defensive weapons or armor, and can also be placed in the room, it is said that this piece of wood can exude aura and refreshing aroma, and has many effects, the starting price is eighty silver, and the price must not be less than ten silver each time. The hostess lifted the curtain curtain to reveal a thick piece of wood, irregular in shape but crystal throughout, with the internal growth rings clearly visible, emitting bursts of light blue light.
"It is worthy of the treasure at the bottom of the box before, and the starting price is so much. ”
"What a beautiful wood!"
Zhao Yi sat up, not as lazy as before, but stared at the dazzling Xuanjing wood on the stage with a preoccupied attitude.
"Hey, isn't there anyone bidding for our Xuanjing Wood, could it be that the first item that failed to be auctioned today turned out to be Xuanjing Wood? The host's voice spread in the hall, and everyone in the audience was arguing noisily, obviously thinking about Xuan Jingmu, not as the host said, no one bid, and the host also understood that the reason why he said this was also to mobilize everyone's positive emotions.
"Ninety silver. ”
"A hundred. ”
"One hundred and fifty, I'll see who dares to grab it from me. ”
With the host's encouragement, the scene has been opened at once, and people in various positions are competing for the first place, and the corners of the hostess's mouth are also slightly raised, with a natural expression, and then quietly paused on Zhao Yi's body and flashed away, Zhao Yi did not start bidding.
"Could it be that the previous news is fake? Zhao Yi didn't come for Xuanjingmu just to accompany his little lover to go shopping?" The host was puzzled for a while, but seeing Zhao Yi's posture, he obviously also had thoughts about this Xuanjingmu, maybe he was waiting, and when he could kill with one blow, if he bid, the transaction amount would definitely increase a lot, which meant that the salary of all the staff would be a little more.
Liu Yuxing's eyes secretly glanced at Zhao Yi next to him, "Why didn't he bid yet, I thought he was going to take a picture of something when he sat up just now, if he didn't shoot, then I would have to talk to him well, my hairpin was taken away by others." ”
The shouts of bidding have never stopped, and in a short period of time, it has risen rapidly from the previous 80 reserve price to 200 silver, soaring to this point, the growth rate has been slowly declining, and each time the bidding price is in accordance with the rules of ten silver and ten silver, not as often as before, dozens of silver.
At this time, Zhao Yi slowly raised the card: "Two hundred and fifty." ”
As soon as the price is directly raised by fifty, but the people at the venue are also clear about the character of this Zhao Gongzi, as long as it is what he wants, no matter how much silver he wants, he will bid and it is a kind of trickle of water and long-term flow to crush you little by little to prove your economic advantage, some gossip is also announced that what it can't bid for will also be forcibly plundered back in private, so basically no one dares to bid with him, even if it is auctioned, it may only be a turnover in his own hands, after all, his father is the owner of the town, and the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, this is in his territory, and it is asking for trouble to provoke him。
With Zhao Yi's bidding, the venue fell into a brief silence. There is a black line on the host's head, how can this not be played according to common sense, it should be added little by little, you add so much at once so that others can bid, this piece of wood is expected to be auctioned for three hundred silver.
No one has been bidding for a long time, and the host can only reluctantly announce that Xuanjingmu belongs to Zhao Yi.
"Next is our last item of the day, which was added later, and the value is even higher than that of the dark crystal, so let's ask the staff to push the lot up. ”
In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on the items covered by the red curtain on the staff cart that came up, and their eyes were full of fire, the auction will be announced a few days before the start of the auction, although some lots will be added halfway, but they are all ordinary, and there are few items like this kind of finale.
Zhao Yi also stared at the stage tightly, and the heat in his eyes was undisguised.
Mu Lei took the three of them back to the hotel in the end, but in his perception, the person was still following, even if he created several opportunities to make him shoot, but the other party still just followed closely, and he didn't know the other party's purpose for a while, wasn't it for the hairpin?
The four of them returned to the room separately, Mu Lei pulled Mu Ziji, who was following behind, to sit on the bed, and whispered: "Someone is following us all the way, I will go out and lead him away in a while, you take the opportunity to find them and wait for me at the next destination, you must be careful on the way." ”
Mu Ziji hugged the bird on the bed in his arms and said, "Father-in-law, this is a city, why can one town lord call the wind and rain, and what about the other town lords?"
"We don't know the specific matters of this place just now, but it's okay, you just need to remember my words, listen to Ziming's words on the way, he is a little more mature than the two of you, and he will try his best to solve problems if he encounters difficulties. Mu Lei said bitterly, since he left the tavern, he felt that these three children were really burdensome, but they were also growing, and maybe one day he would need to rely on them.
Mu Ziji nodded, and said with concern: "Then father, be careful, don't beat it, just hold it and we will escape here as soon as possible." It's all to blame for our father-in-law, who has no strength at all, and he can't show his hands and feet. ”
Hearing this, Mu Lei slapped Mu Ziji's head and said angrily: "What do you say about the stinky boy, then what do you want me to do when you are strong, you must cultivate well when you reach the sect." ”
"Uh-huh, Ziji knows. ”
"I'm going to lure him away, you hurry. Mu Lei stood up, put away his smiling expression and resolutely walked out of the door, Mu Ziji did not hesitate and hurriedly walked to Mu Ziming's room.
Mu Lei walked out of the hotel and said to the dense snow branches and leaves on the trees: "My friend has followed all the way, do you want to come down and talk." ”
Zero eyes narrowed, and he jumped off the trunk of the tree quietly, all black but hidden in the snowy bushes, "You already knew that I was following you?"
Mu Lei also looked at the other party carefully, and could not observe the other party's age from the voice for the time being, although the two were of the same rank, but as we all know, older ones will have an advantage, whether it is actual combat experience or exercise skills, after all, it is not in vain to live for a while longer.
"But then Zhao Gongzi sent you here?" Mu Lei asked, his words full of undoubtedness.
"Now that I know it, I will hand over the hairpin, and Childe may be happy to return you one or two silver taels. "Zero is not weak at all, if you can beat it, you can't lose the verbal confrontation, and if you have a bad temper and hear this insult, maybe you will be in a hurry and lose your heart.
Mu Lei laughed, not affected by his words in the slightest: "It is also very interesting for a decent person to do some sneaky and slippery things." ”
The implication is that your son is still the son of a town lord after a loss, how can you do these unsightly things, and you are not afraid of being dirted by the world?
"Sharp teeth, let me see if your fists are as hard as your mouth. Zero sneered, but he couldn't control his emotions, and rushed towards Mu Lei, surrounded by spiritual power around his body, and he used all his strength as soon as he came up.
The first strike occupies a disadvantage, even if the spiritual power is slightly superior, it is often a pity to lose.
"Father, he, alas, then we will leave for the next destination at once, and we cannot stay here to worry my father. When Mu Ziming heard what Mu Ziji said, he also had a big head, and immediately gave the order to escape from the back door with the two of them.
"It's all bad, I have to have this hairpin, otherwise my father wouldn't be so dangerous. Mu Zichun said with self-reproach, and when she heard that Mu Lei might fall into a dangerous situation, she came back to her senses and put down the hairpin that had been rewarded for a long time.
"Chun'er, I hope you can grow up quickly, now my father and I are by your side, in case one day we are gone, you have to have the ability to take care of yourself, your cultivation talent is still above me, as long as you are willing to cultivate steadily, you will definitely be able to do something in the future." Mu Ziming took the two of them forward quickly, and said to Mu Zichun beside him, this sister has been too comfortable all these years, and she has no sense of safety at all, she has always been held in the palm of her hand, and everything is out of the house
