Chapter 274: Auction

Yan Xi glanced at Zu Haier with a smile, and took back the foot that was about to take a step forward. After pulling Xiao Zhihan, he went to the best inn in the southern Xinjiang royal city.

Zuhair was a very good host, and every day as soon as it was dark, he would send all kinds of delicacies from southern Xinjiang to the inn where Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan lived, and invited them to taste them. Then, after they finished eating, he took them to various places in southern Xinjiang, and it was also called to enjoy the scenery of southern Xinjiang.

Knowing that Yan Xi was very interested in the Gu art of Southern Xinjiang, Zu Haier even found a few of the best Gu masters in the Southern Xinjiang Royal Court to perform their Gu art for Yan Xi.

It is precisely because of Zu Haier's ubiquitous hospitality, Xiao Zhihan's face, since he arrived in the southern Xinjiang royal city, he has never looked good.

Fortunately, the auction is about to start, and Yan Xi is determined to go to the auction to see what good treasures are there at this annual festival in southern Xinjiang. Xiao Zhihan was helpless, so he had to continue to accompany Yan Xi to stay in this southern Xinjiang royal city.

The auction is entered by ticket, and there is not enough money and power to get even a ticket to the lobby. With Zu Haier, the new king of southern Xinjiang, Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan naturally don't have to worry about tickets.

When Zuhairer came over with a ticket for a top box, Yan Xi's face instantly showed a fox-like smile.

Just as he was about to enter the auction hall, a guard from southern Xinjiang hurried over, and after saluting Zuhair, the guard said, "King, there was a riot at the East City Gate, and General Wanyan asked the little one to ask the king what to do!" ”

Zuhairer looked at Yan Xi, and then at the guards with anxious faces, and his face showed embarrassment.

Yan Xi's face also showed a trace of regret, she originally planned to take Zu Haier in and pay for her. After all, Xiao Zhihan is poor, and she doesn't necessarily have so much money to be able to buy what she likes at this auction.

As for Zuhair, he is the king of southern Xinjiang, and he is definitely not poor. Since he has rushed to her in front of her in the past few days, she will not miss such a good opportunity in vain.

Xiao Zhihan, who was already dissatisfied with Zu Haier's coming to Yan Xi all day long, heard the guard's words, did not give Zu Haier any chance to refuse, and said directly, "Since Southern Xinjiang is busy with official business, I won't bother the king of Southern Xinjiang." The king will take her in. ”

Zu Haier froze for a moment, and watched Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan walk into the auction hall with a stupid look.

This Xiao Zhihan, this is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge! At that time, it was clearly said that he would take revenge, and the southern Xinjiang would be handed over to Xiao Zhihan. Now that his revenge has been avenged, the throne rests on his head! Why now he even has to get along with Yan Xi with the opportunity that he finally thought of!

Although he thought like this, Zuhair still resigned himself to his fate and walked towards Dongcheng. However, after walking a few steps, Zuhaier still felt unwilling in his heart, and said to the guard, "You go and tell General Wanyan that the riot in Dongcheng will be handled by him with full authority, and don't cause any trouble!" ”

Before the guard could react, Zuhair took the other two guards and headed for the auction house.

Outside the auction room, one of the guards behind Zuhair asked, "King, shall we go in?" But didn't the ticket already give it to Miss Yan? ”

"What? The whole southern Xinjiang belongs to this king, and this king can't enter an auction house yet? Zu Haier said with an arrogant face, after speaking, Zu Haier thought about it, felt that it was not appropriate to go in with great fanfare, and ordered the two guards around him, "Go, no matter what method you use, get a ticket for this king!" Remember, don't leak the identity of this king, this king has to surprise Miss Yan! ”

Seeing the triumphant look on Zuhair's face, the two guards glanced at each other, didn't say anything, and squeezed into the crowd to find a ticket for Zuhair.

After a short while, the guard came over with a ticket for a top box. Zuhail took the ticket, covered his face with a hat, held his head high, and strode into the auction hall to the Tianzi box.

Sitting on a chair covered with a thick animal skin, Zuhair squinted at the Xuanzi box across from him. Although the outside of the box was covered with a curtain made of special materials, Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan's tickets were obtained from him, so how could he not know which box they were in?

Zuhair beckoned, and one of the guards approached.

Zuhair pointed to the Xuanzi box on the opposite side and instructed, "You all pay attention and listen, but whatever you want in that box, you all take pictures of it for the king." ”

"Xuanzi? Isn't that Miss Yan's box? Several guards looked at the box opposite, saw the number on the box, and looked at Zuhairer with a little suspicion in their eyes.

What are they doing here, my lord? Isn't he pursuing Miss Yan and wants Miss Yan to be their future? When he set off from the royal court before, didn't he also tell them to prepare more silver tickets and come to the auction house to auction the treasure she fancied for Miss Yan?

Why did he change his mind after only a while. Are you ready to Miss Yan? If Miss Yan knew about this, wouldn't the king have no chance?

"A few of you have good eyesight, and you will all prick up your ears to hear clearly later, as long as it is asked for in the Xuanzi private room, no matter what it is, shoot it all." Zuhair praised the guards and continued, "When the auction is over, this king will definitely be happy to send these treasures to Miss Yan!" ”

Several of the guards who originally planned to persuade Zuhair, when they heard Zuhair's words, they instantly swallowed all the persuasion they had prepared.

Their lord has never been with a woman before, right? How can you think of such a way to make a woman happy! Now I only hope that after Miss Yan learns what their king has done, she can take a light attack on their king. In the past few days, they have heard about Yan Xi from the mouth of the king. Thinking that Yan Xi was on the tower of Wan'an City, and that he had destroyed tens of thousands of southern Xinjiang troops by himself, these guards couldn't help but mourn silently for their king.

At this time, Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan sat in the yellow box, quietly looking at the information about the auction that the organizer of the auction put in the box.

The tickets Zu Haier gave them were originally from the Xuanzi box, but when they came in, Xiao Zhihan immediately asked Ying Wei to swap the tickets from the Xuanzi box with the people in the yellow box.

There are a total of four top-level private rooms in this auction room, which are Tiandi Xuanhuang. Although they are all top-level private rooms, the treatment in the private rooms is still slightly different, with the sky number as the best and the yellow number as the second. They took the Xuanzi number to exchange for the Huangzi number, and those people with the yellow number were naturally very happy.

After waiting in the box for about half an hour, a woman wearing a southern Xinjiang style costume walked to the round table in the middle of the auction hall. After saluting everyone in the auction hall, the beautiful woman said with a smile, "Welcome to the Southern Xinjiang Royal City to participate in the annual auction meeting of Jinxuan Auction House. I'm the auctioneer this time, Jin Yu. ”

Jin Yu's face is as beautiful as the spirit in the mountains, which makes people can't help but take a few more looks. The voice, as if with a seductive barb, touched the hearts of many men who came to participate in this auction.

"Golden rain beauty, what good treasure have you brought us this year! Last year's Centennial Gu King was snatched away, and if there is still one this year, I must take a photograph! ”

……

There were people who came to this auction every year, and after seeing the golden rain, they accosted them. Jin Yu is also an auctioneer who is used to this auction, smiled at these coaxers, and continued, "Don't be impatient, this year's lots have been divided into three groups, and I will introduce them to you one by one later. It's just that before the auction starts, it is still necessary to explain the rules of the auction clearly. ”

"First, in the auction house, there is no malicious price increase, and no fighting is allowed. Second, once the lot is auctioned, the auctioneer must hand over the lot to the auction house within a quarter of an hour, and the auction house will not accept any form of credit. Jin Yu continued, and after saying these two rules, Jin Yu smiled charmingly and said to everyone in the auction hall, "Next, is our first lot, the Radiant Nine-Striped Snake." I don't think I need to say more, you also know the value of the Huanbo Nine-Striped Snake to the Gu refiner, as long as there is the Huanbo Nine-Striped Snake to take care of it, the growth rate and survival rate of the young Gu will be significantly improved. ”

With Jin Yu's words, a small snake the size of a palm and the thickness of a thumb was taken up in a transparent glass box. On the back of the little snake, there are nine identical wavy patterns. At first glance, the patterns on the snake's body seemed to be constantly vibrating, but after a closer look, those patterns were clearly static.

"The first lot turned out to be the Radiant Nine-Striped Snake! Jinxuan Auction House's things, but it's getting better and better. I really don't know what other amazing treasures are in the back lots. ”

"Yes, I remember last year's auction also had a snake with a Ripple Nine, which was put up for auction in the second group. At that time, it seemed that the high price of 5,000 taels of silver was shouted. This year, it is estimated that it will not be better than the end of last year! ”

"Not really! This Radiant Nine-Striped Snake is an indispensable treasure for Gu refiners! It's just that this snake is very exciting, and it's hard to catch it, let alone tame it! ”

……

Seeing the fierce discussion among the people in the audience, Jin Yu said with a smile, "The starting price of the Huanbo Nine-Striped Snake is one thousand taels of silver, and each increase must not be less than one hundred taels of silver." ”

As soon as Jin Yu's words fell, shouts rang out in the lobby.

"Fifteen hundred taels of silver."

"Two thousand taels of silver."

"Three thousand taels of silver."

……

"Five thousand three hundred taels of silver."

After a while, the Huanbo Nine-Striped Snake was called out for a price of five thousand three hundred taels of silver.

Jin Yu looked at the hall where the bidding was getting less and less, and he knew it. Although this Radiant Nine-Striped Snake is rare, it has not reached the point where it has no price. The price of 5,300 taels can be regarded as a very good start. So, Jin Yu opened his mouth and said, "The fifteenth buyer asked for five thousand three hundred taels of silver, is there anything higher than this buyer?" ”

Listening to Jin Yu's words, the face of the No. 15 buyer showed a show-off smile, and the few people who had shouted with him before had a faint look of loss on their faces.
