Chapter 51 51, Auction Spirit Stone Mine

Previous Chapter

A few days later, the most luxurious inn in Dinghai Mountain, "Tinghaiju", came to a middle-aged guest with a dignified appearance, dressed in the most popular twelve-level martial arts clothes refined by Caiyunfang, and walked wolf-looking at the tiger.

When the guy saw it, he asked politely, "Is the guest staying or dining?"

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and scolded: "Do you have anything to eat here? Give me the best room!"

The guy muttered in his heart: Although we are an inn, the catering is also a must in Dinghaishan, and no one knows Dinghaishan. Look at this distinguished guest, he is definitely a newcomer! He smiled and said: "There is also an upper room, one night ......."

Before the guy could finish speaking, a handful of Xuanyu smashed on the counter and shouted: "Uncle, it's rare for me to sneak out, stay overnight first, it's not in line with the uncle's wishes!"

It is rare for a customer in the inn to pay the bill with Xuanyu, and this guy has a lot of experience, one count is eight pieces of Xuanyu, that is eight hundred spirit stones! Hurriedly took out a key and said to the middle-aged man: "Leave a name for your guest, and the small one will send you to 'Jiazi No. 1'!"

The middle-aged man said impatiently: "Imperial City Xia Xuan!"

The guy sang while registering: "Imperial City Xia Ye!"

The shopkeeper who was drinking tea on the side called the guy to roll call, and was so shocked that a mouthful of tea squirted out, and he hurriedly ran over and said, "The honorable guest is from the imperial city?"

Xia Ye asked coldly, "Is there a problem?"

Tong Miaowu felt Xia Ye's inexplicable majesty, and couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly said: "The distinguished guest is really a small shop, and the little one immediately takes the honored guest to the guest room!"

Xia Ye said: "Come in and tell me about what is interesting about Dinghaishan." ”

Tong Minato was flattered and entered the room.

Xia Ye poured a cup of tea for him, Tong Miaowu took it and drank it, feeling that the smell was very fishy, so he asked with a bitter face: "Venerable guest! This tea tastes weird, and the small one is unheard of, please give me what kind of tea?"

Xia Ye said: "This is 'saliva tea', you need to taste it slowly!"

At this time, Tong Miaowu only felt a stream of heat flowing through his body, which was very comfortable, so he exclaimed: "What I drink is saliva tea! I'm afraid this cup will cost tens of thousands of taels of gold, right?"

Xia Ye said disdainfully: "How can saliva tea be judged by gold? Don't talk nonsense, tell the interesting things you know to relieve boredom!"

Tong Miaowu was excited when he heard it, and said with a smile on his eyebrows: "If you say something interesting, there was no one before, but what happened some time ago is also an interesting thing when it was transmitted to the imperial city, and the honorable guest doesn't know about it, right?"

Xia Ye asked, "What's the bird thing in the wilderness!"

Tong Miaowu said: "More than two months ago, the old Qian King took six military ships to catch the Huo Xuan Python, but he has not returned, and there is no news, it is estimated that there is more luck than luck!"

Xia Ye said: "It's just that a deposed prince is missing, what's so strange!"

Tong Miaofu heard that Xia Ye regarded the prince as dung, and guessed that it was either the prince or the prince, so he said more and more affectionately: "Venerable guest! This may not be uncommon in a big place, but in our Dinghai Mountain, it is a mess, because there are thousands of mountains in the state that disappeared with the old prince.

Just a few days ago, the pirates took advantage of the situation and robbed the dragon jumping head spirit stone mine in Wanqianshan, killing many people, and Wan Zhiming, the son of Wanqianshan, was seriously injured. ”

Xia Ye asked, "Didn't the Qian Wangfu send someone after these things?"

Tong Miaofu said: "King Qian's Mansion sent a partial general, brought a large group of people to live in the official post, and is investigating the disappearance of the old prince!"

Xia Ye said: "This is still a bit of a head, what progress will be reported in time in the future, coaxing this seat to be happy, and there will be a lot of rewards! Now you go out, this seat needs to rest for a while!"

Tong Miaowu went out with saliva tea, came to the counter and instructed the guy: "The distinguished guest of 'Jiazi No. 1' must serve well, and not offend a single cent!"

After Xia Ye waited for Tong to leave, he closed the door of the room, meditated and exercised, his stature became smaller, his face became a thief, he took out an ordinary dress from the storage jade pendant and changed it, completely turned into a different person, pushed open the window and jumped out.

Xia Ye came to the Dragon and Tiger Gambling Arena, and in the name of "Lingshu", he used the 100,000 spirit stones given by Wanqianshan as a bet to challenge all opponents.

The gamblers saw that this thief-eyed "Lingshu" was inconspicuous, so they bet on the "Lingshu" to lose, and as a result, those opponents all lost under the hands of the "Lingshu", Xia Ye won a million spirit stones, which caused a sensation in Dinghaishan.

Xia Ye got out of the gambling arena, turned around on the way, changed several sets of clothes, changed his appearance a few times, shook off the tail that was following him, and returned to Tinghaiju unconsciously.

Early the next morning, Tong came to greet him, and Xia Ye asked him, "What's delicious in Dinghai Mountain?"

Tong Miaowu said: "If the most famous is 'Wufeng Roast Sheep', but the Wufeng master who created this famous dish went overseas, and now it is no longer worthy of the name!"

Xia Ye said: "Since it is the first dish, then I will try it!"

Tong Miaowu immediately took Xia Ye to the Wufeng barbecue shop, and asked for a roasted whole sheep to eat it after three times five divided by two, Tong Miaowu looked at it and said secretly in his heart: It's really from the royal family!

The kit almost said: "We have an East Pole Island owner in Dinghaishan, who is still a teenager less than ten years old, but the amount of food is amazing, such a roasted whole sheep can eat five or six in one go!"

Xia Ye said disdainfully: "How can an island owner compare to this seat? If you go, ask the store to hurry up and roast the sheep, and this seat will eat ten in a row, and see who should surpass it!"

Tong Miaowu hurriedly went to arrange, Xia Ye really ate ten roasted whole sheep, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he dropped a handful of spirit stones and walked away.

Everyone gathered around Tong Miaowu to inquire about Xia Ye's origin, and Tong Miaowu told mysteriously: "Xia Ye is from the imperial city, and he is extremely noble!"

Everyone was talking, and an old pedant with a white beard said to himself: "Xia Ye from the imperial city, extremely noble, is it from the Xia royal family, then it is either the prince or the prince!"

There was a fat man with sharp ears and a big face who heard the words of the old pedant, and was so shocked that he grabbed Tong and asked, "Is this Xia Ye a prince or a prince?"

Tong Miaowu looked at Xia Ye's back and said impatiently: "Is it the prince or the prince who has anything to do with you?"

With false rumors, soon, Tinghai lived with a prince from the imperial city and spread all over Dinghai Mountain, but there was also a rumor that lived was a prince.

Dinghaishan had heads and faces to ask Tong Miaowu about Xia Ye's identity, and Tong Miaomu boasted proudly about how Xia Ye from the imperial city poured him a cup of ambergris tea and valued him.

When someone asked him to introduce him to visit Xia Ye, he reprimanded him mysteriously: "Xia Ye is from the imperial city and has a noble status, but his old man just wants to be alone in Dinghai Mountain, how dare you disturb him?"

Everyone was bored, but they were even more convinced that Xia Ye was the prince or prince of the Xia royal family, although they didn't dare to disturb, they lived in Tinghaiju one after another, just hoping to be able to get acquainted with Xia Ye by chance.

One day, Bao Xiaotian came to Tinghaiju and asked Tong to understand Xia Ye's situation alone.

Tong Miaowu showed Bao Xiaotian the treasured ambergris tea, and said: "Xia Ye is Xuanyu when he shoots, and it is ambergris tea when he drinks it." He personally brewed it for me, and I have always been reluctant to drink it!"

Bao Xiaotian picked up the ambergris tea, looked at it, sniffed it again, and left without saying a word after putting it down.

Xia Ye accompanied Dong Miaowu to visit all the scenic spots and historic sites in Dinghai Mountain, tasted all the flavors and snacks, and listened to the simple life of Haiju, and ignored the people who came to take the initiative to talk, and looked leisurely and quiet.

One day, Tong came to tell him that Fu Zhou Mu Bao Xiaotian had been appointed by the Qian Wangfu as the acting state pastor to fully preside over the government affairs of the state pastor's office.

A few days later, he came again to report that because Wan Zhiming was seriously injured and unable to manage the leading Lingshi mine, he had entrusted Elder Tu of Huirun Ticket Bank to manage it.

A few days later, the proclamation said: "Wanjia wants to buy and sell the dragon head jumping spirit stone mine!"

Xia Ye asked, "When and where?"

Tong Miaoyi said: "Tomorrow, it will be at Huirun Ticket!"

Xia Ye asked, "How come it is in the Huirun ticket shop, is there no auction house in Dinghaishan?"

Tong Caoyi said: "It is said that in order to save costs, Elder Tu specially asked for the shopkeeper's golden abacus, and the auction was organized by Huirun Ticket Bank!"

Xia Ye asked, "What are the requirements for participating in the auction?"

Tong Minato said: "You need to pay a guarantee of one million spirit stones first. The dragon head jumping spirit stone mine has been exhausted, and it has been robbed by pirates, I'm afraid it won't be too valuable, and if you have to pay so much security tomorrow, it is estimated that not too many people will participate!"

Xia Ye sneered and said, "Isn't this an obvious intention to occupy people's property? This seat is jealous and hateful, and I can't see this kind of robber behavior the most! Since this seat has encountered it, I won't let him succeed, are you interested in playing with them?"

Tong said to the end: "The honored guest has this Yaxing, and the little one will accompany him to the end!"

Xia Ye said: "You just took this million spirit stones to register in your name, and tomorrow we will make a fuss!"

Tong Miaowu took the box of one million spirit stones and went out to the Huirun ticket store, and on the second day, Xia Ye and Tong Miaowu went to the Huirun ticket store.

Huirun Ticket House has set up an auction hall in one hall, and there is no box, and dozens of bidders are all sitting under the auction table.

Tong Miaowu and Xia Ye found the first row of positions, which caused everyone to talk about each other.

After a while, the golden abacus walked onto the auction table with a spring breeze on his face, and said loudly: "Distinguished guests, because of repeated changes, Wanjia can no longer operate the leading jumping spirit stone mine, and today I am entrusted to the auction of Huirun Ticket House." Since Elder Tu of our bank is in charge of the Lingshi Mine, he already has a deep relationship, so he also participated in this auction, so I will personally preside over this auction, and I invite you to join us!"

There was warm applause in the auction hall, and after the golden abacus bowed, he said: "The dragon head jumping spirit stone mine has been mined for many years, although it is nearly exhausted, but there is still an annual output of one million spirit stones, which is quite valuable, so the auction will start at a low price of one million spirit stones, and the price increase shall not be less than 100,000 spirit stones each time!

When everyone was still negotiating, Xia Ye motioned to Tong to shoot and said, "Five million!"

This auction was held in a hurry, and many people were not prepared, and when they heard this price, according to the current annual mining volume, it would take five years to return on investment, and many hesitated, and only a few bidders:

"Five million thousand!"

"Five million two hundred thousand!"

"Five million three million!"

......

Elder Tu saw that there were few bidders and the range was small, and he was happy in his heart, and when no one bid for five or eight hundred thousand spirit stones, he shouted: "I'll make up a whole number, six million spirit stones!"

At this time, someone shouted: "A spirit stone mine that is about to be exhausted, maybe there will be no mine to mine in a few years, Elder Tu, it is really righteous for you to pay such a high price!"

Elder Tu said: "Ten thousand families are pitiful, and I should help them as much as I can!"

At this time, Mu Bing stood up and said: "How can such a shrewd person as Elder Yitu do a loss-making business? You have been in charge of the spirit stone mine for a few months, you must know something about the spirit stone mine, the spirit stone mine must be more than this value, I will bid six and a half million spirit stones in the Dragon and Tiger Gambling Arena!"

Elder Tu Wen Bi smiled dryly: "I didn't expect the Dragon and Tiger Gambling Arena to look up to me so much, if I don't show some sincerity, I'm sorry for you, I'll bid three million spirit stones!"

Some others saw some fame, so they increased the price one after another, but the magnitude was not large, and after a round, the bidding price stopped at 7.8 million spirit stones.

Elder Tu asked Mu Bingdao distressed at this time, "Master Mu, are you still paying such a high price?"

Mu Bing said: "Then it depends on what price you offer!"

Elder Tu said, "Make up a whole number, eight million!"

Mu Bing said: "Although the dragon head jump is only a spirit stone mine, but according to your performance, it has not been exhausted, and if it is worth this amount, then I will give 8.5 million!"

Elder Tu said angrily: "Nine million!"

Mu Bing shouted: "Nine and a half million!"

Elder Tu shouted at this time: "I know that you have a deep background in the Dragon and Tiger Gambling Arena, but the auction requires real money, and I don't believe that you can compare to our ticket shop in Dinghaishan." I have the support of the ticket bank, you can't beat me, you know the difficulty and retreat! 10 million spirit stones!"

Mu Binghehe sneered: "You really underestimate my Dragon and Tiger gambling arena, I have the support of the Dragon and Tiger Gang." 20 million spirit stones!"

The golden abacus on the stage shouted: "You two should be calm, this auction price has obviously exceeded the value of the dragon head jumping spirit stone mine!"

Elder Tu shouted: "Shopkeeper, we can't lose the face of our ticket office. I'll bid 30 million spirit stones!"

Mu Bing hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Forty million spirit stones!"

Elder Tu continued, "Fifty million spirit stones!"

At this time, a masked man next to Mu Bing whispered to him, but Mu Bing did not shout.

The golden abacus shouted: "50 million spirit stones, is there still a bid? 50 million once, 50 million 2 times, 50 million 3 ...

Before the golden abacus could be finished, Tong Miaowu shouted: "Sixty million spirit stones!"

Elder Tu followed, "Seventy million spirit stones!"

Tong Minato shouted, "Ninety million spirit stones!"

Elder Tu followed, "Nine thousand and one hundred thousand spirit stones!"

Tong Miaowu shouted: "100 million spirit stones!"

Seeing this, Elder Tu got up anxiously and scolded: "Tong Ming! You just opened a broken inn, where did you get so much money? Did you deliberately come to raise the bar? Be careful of tearing your face!"

Tong Miao looked at Xia Ye with a weak heart, Xia Ye casually took out a gold medal from the jade pendant in the storage and threw it at Elder Tu and said: "I have lived in the imperial city for a long time, and I want to buy a mine here, isn't it okay? How much does it cost, you take this gold medal to any jade ticket store in the imperial city to get it!"

Elder Tu took the gold medal and looked at it over and over, the workmanship was excellent, but only the wave shading was carved on both sides, and a "nine" character was engraved on it, one was a yang pattern, and the other was a yin pattern, I really don't know what kind of gold medal this is.

I was just shocked by Xia Ye's storage jade pendant and the "jade ticket shop" in his mouth, this storage jade pendant also has a thousand pieces of jade, and this alone is worth 100,000 spirit stones, and the "jade ticket shop" is a ticket store that only does the business of jade, and those who enter and leave the jade ticket shop are all rich and noble people!

I heard that this person drinks ambergris tea every day, which is an unattainable treasure tea for Xuan monks!

Could it be that this person is really a member of the royal family?
