"Ladies and gentlemen, there are three books to be auctioned now, the first is how to do business, the second is how to gain fame, and the third is the Encyclopedia of Medicinal Herbs, these three books are only one in this world, so the one with the highest price wins." A middle-aged man on the stage said.

Xiao Yuan has no interest in the first two books, the only thing she is interested in is the back of the herb book, although Mr. Baicao taught her how to identify some herbs, but there are some she still doesn't recognize.

During the bidding for the first two books, Xiao Yuan was very bored and sat on the chair and ate melon seeds, Xia Longyu was very helpless on the side, the first book was auctioned for too long, so that Xiao Yuan fell asleep directly.

Xia Longyu originally watched the auction with relish, until when there was a snoring sound in his ears, he turned his head suspiciously, and saw Xiao Yuan sleeping and snoring.

When he saw Xiao Kite like this, the corners of his mouth hooked and he smiled.

Xia Longyu, who was usually seen by the people present, never smiled, and always had a serious face, until today, after everyone saw him laughing, they were all surprised, and many women were moved when they saw his smile.

But Xia Longyu's eyes only had the sleeping Xiao Kite.

"Okay, now it's the last book of herbs, and the price is one hundred taels of gold." The voice of the auctioneer was heard from the front.

Xia Longyu just wanted to wake up Xiao Yuan, but saw the crystal clear liquid flowing out of the corner of her mouth.

The people around them all whispered with disgust and Xiao Kite, but the latter was sleeping soundly and didn't hear anything.

A woman, even if she is dozing outside, is still drooling, and she doesn't look like anything at all.

Xia Longyu shook his head helplessly, and reached over to help her wipe away the saliva, the first time he did this, his movements were a little stiff, which woke up Xiao Yuan.

"Huh? What's wrong? Xiao Yuan opened a pair of big eyes and looked innocently at the hand in front of him, which still had traces of water.

Xia Longyu put his hand back into his sleeve and said, "The auction has begun, so wake you up."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's face turned red, and she only then noticed that she was asleep, "Then where is the auction going on now?" ”

"Five hundred taels." The price of the herb encyclopedia has gone from one hundred taels to five hundred taels, but the price is still shouting upwards until it is shouted ten thousand taels of gold, and the number of people who are bidding gradually decreases.

Xia Longyu didn't speak, he was waiting for the last person, and then started shouting, otherwise the previous ones would be a waste of words.

In the end, there was only one person left, and the price was set at 50,000 taels of gold.

Just when everyone thought that the book would be sold for 50,000 taels, Xia Longyu's cold voice came out, "60,000 taels." ”

60,000 taels?! As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked over to this side.

"Seventy thousand taels."

"Eighty thousand."

"Ninety thousand taels."

"One hundred thousand."

What shouted to Xia Longyu was a woman, a beautiful woman, with long hair as black as a waterfall and waist, as well as a peach blossom on her face, and a temperament all over her body, which made Xiao Yuan stunned.

I saw that the woman gritted her teeth, raised her hand and just wanted to shout, but was stopped by the man next to her, and in the end, the woman could only stare at Xia Longyu and Xiao Yuan hatefully.

The last book of medicinal herbs was sold to Xia Longyu at a price of 100,000 taels of gold, but Xia Longyu didn't even look at it, and gave it directly to Xiao Yuan.

Because of this incident, the people of the entire Xia Kingdom knew that the Jade King had spent thousands of dollars for a woman, and he didn't frown, and everyone was even more curious about the woman beside him.

Looking at the encyclopedia of medicinal herbs worth 100,000 taels of gold in her hand, Xiao Yuan suddenly felt a little unhappy in her heart, she looked at Xia Longyu and said softly: "Xia Longyu, let you break the ......"

"It's okay, I have money." Xia Longyu grinned, revealing her white teeth.

This smile directly shook Xiao Yuan's heart, she put the whole herb on her chest, her heart was warm, except for her family, it was Xia Longyu who treated her so well.

After the bidding, Xia Longyu also selected some books in the Agarwood Pavilion and went back, planning to read them in his spare time.

Xia Longyu asked his subordinates to bring all the books back to the palace, he looked at Xiao Kite, who was tired from shopping, and directly led her to Mingxiang Pavilion for dinner.

.....

Ningguo.

"King Rin, the southern kingdom sent a princess to the summer kingdom." Xi Jiu stood beside Xiao Rin and reported.

According to the news from the spies, the princess of the southern kingdom wants to marry the Xia kingdom, but no suitable candidate has been found now.

After Xiao Rin listened to Xi Jiu's words, he muttered, "Nanguo..."

Nanguo has nothing to do with Ningguo, and there is no war between the two countries, so Xiao Rin has never understood what kind of country Nanguo is.

It is said that the queen of the Xia Kingdom was originally the princess of the Southern Kingdom, and I don't know if this news is true or not.

Originally, Xiao Rin didn't pay attention to the news of Xia Guo, if it weren't for Xiao Yuan's still in Xia Kingdom, he wouldn't care about these small countries.

"I asked you to check the news of Kite, have you found it?" Xiao Rin asked, he now wants to confirm where Xiao Yuan is, if it is an ordinary people's family, it is fine, if it falls into the emperor's family, it will be troublesome.

Xi Jiu lowered his head and said, "The subordinates are still investigating, and there is no news from the spies sent out." ”

Xiao Rin nodded, silent, so many days have passed, even if he is in a hurry, it is useless.

"Wang, why don't I go to the Xia Kingdom in person!" Le'er, who had been silent on the side, said, his face was calm, but his heart was tormented, he couldn't wait to go to Xia Guo to find the murderer immediately, and then dismantle it!

Xiao Rin knew what Le'er's purpose was for going this time, "Le'er, I know what you have in mind, but Ning Guo still needs you, as for the murderer, I have already asked people to investigate." ”

Although Ning Guo can be regarded as a big country now, the country and the people are safe, but there will still be a few grains of rat feces in a pot of porridge, and there are few trustworthy people around Xiao Rin, or there are few people he can trust.

Le'er is still young now, and there are many emotions that may not be controllable, Xiao Rin now keeps Le'er in Ningguo, first, for the country, and secondly, he is afraid that Le'er will go to Xia Country when the time comes, find out what happened, and when the time comes, he will be angry and lose his life.

Xiao Rin didn't protect Prime Minister Zheng's family, he felt sorry for Jing Ning, and now he didn't protect Hao Le'er's only relative, and he felt even more guilty.

Sometimes, he really wanted to kill the damn people directly, but now that he was the king of a country, there were many things that he couldn't let his temperament do.

Le'er is also a wise person, and he understands what Xiao Rin is saying when his brain moves, and he also understands what Xiao Rin means.

The so-called gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, every time Le'er wants to leave everything behind and go to Xia Guo to kill the murderer, she will comfort herself like this.

"The minister knows, if there is nothing else, the minister will retire first." Le'er's body looked particularly weak in front of Xiao Rin.

"Hmm." Xiao Rin took a deep look at Le'er's expressionless face.
