Chapter Twenty-Three: Are You Laughing?
When night falls on the Daimyo Gunjo, the bustling inner city begins to be at its busiest time of the day.
The streets and alleys are bustling, and countless warriors have come out from all over the place, enjoying the excitement and hustle and bustle.
Daimyo Naka-dori Street is the center of the entire county town, with countless mid-to-high-end establishments and various liquor shops and teahouses.
There is also a small lake behind the street, the pavilion and the song pavilion are built by the water, the boat and the painting boat roam in the lake, I don't know how many people are drunk and dream of death here.
At the entrance on the west side of the street, today is particularly lively, almost half of the warriors have gathered here, this kind of grand occasion is only a few times a year, and today it is all because of the autumn auction held by the Mingjiu Chamber of Commerce.
When Tang Shi came out of the Tang family's ancestral house, it was already evening, and when he arrived at the middle street where Mingjiu Auction House was located, an hour had passed, and the auction would start soon, and those who were eligible to participate had already begun to enter.
Tang Shi put on a black cloak and squeezed into the auction house with a VIP card, the VIP card was given to him by the old man named Mu Boqing when he settled the reserve price of the auction before, although it was only a silver card, but it was also a symbol of status, and the entire Daimyo County could get the VIP silver card of the Mingjiu Chamber of Commerce There are probably less than a thousand people!
The maid who led the way took Tang Shi to the second floor, which is a VIP seat, of course, a silver card VIP seat, a small room, the window reveals a balcony, a set of tables and chairs, melons, fruits, snacks, wine and delicacies are the top quality.
Tang Shi didn't wait long, the auction began, and the host on the stage turned out to be that Mu Yeqing, the third lady of the Mingjiu Chamber of Commerce!
Today's Mu Yeqing has obviously been carefully dressed, wearing a floor-mopping gauze skirt, wrapping her graceful figure, revealing a beautiful view on her chest, and her tender white skin exudes a charming luster under the illumination of the light.
Her long black hair hung down, covering a piece of fragrant shoulders, and she swayed in a charming manner as she walked, and many pairs of eyes focused on her.
The lips are red and the teeth are white, the face is like a peach blossom, the green silk shawl, the eyes are flowing, and the smile is with a hint of mature charm, which arouses the original desire in the hearts of countless men.
"Welcome to the Mingjiu Auction, this auction is still hosted by the County Lord's Mansion and undertaken by the Mingjiu Chamber of Commerce, I am the host of today's auction, Mu Yeqing!"
There was applause from the audience, just a simple introduction, and many young teenagers had already sunk into Mu Yeqing's smile.
"Goblin!" Tang Shi pursed his lips with a little disdain, using the combination of beauty and soul thinking secret art to seduce people, in his eyes, it was an inferior act, and he lowered the level of his mental power.
If Tang Shi hadn't read the list, there were two things on it that he was more interested in, otherwise he wouldn't have come today.
"Without further ado, let's start today's auction now. Mu Yeqing smiled lightly, and her charm began to appear.
"Originally, there will be 38 lots on the stage today, and I believe many people have already seen the list, but in the past few days, many strong people have come to visit, so nine lots have been added temporarily, two of which are finale. ”
"I'm sure everyone has been waiting for a long time, so today's first lot, the little woman took the liberty of calling the shots, and started with this finale lot. ”
As soon as the words fell, in the dark curtain behind Mu Yeqing, a maid walked out, carrying an antique tray.
"Today's first lot, Kaigong Dan!"
As soon as Mu Yeqing's charming voice stopped, a burst of exhilarating breathing suddenly sounded in the entire venue.
The first lot directly took out the finale-level Kaigong Dan, which immediately ignited the atmosphere of the auction, and countless powerful people with heads and faces in the Daimyo County secretly calculated to themselves.
Tang Shi looked at Mu Yeqing in surprise, he didn't expect Mu Yeqing to put his opening pill on the first shot, Mu Yeqing seemed to be aware of it, and nodded slightly in the direction of Tang Shi.
"Kaigong Dan, a third-grade primary elixir, the function must not need Ye Qing to elaborate more, the starting price is six thousand lower grade spirit stones, and the price increase shall not be less than one hundred spirit stones each time. ”
"Six thousand one!"
"Six thousand five!"
"Six thousand eight!"
......
Before Mu Yeqing's words fell, someone had already started shouting, and the price was rising.
Tang Shi found that although the audience shouted vigorously, it was all the people in the hall who bidd, and most of them were ordinary warriors, and almost none of the warriors in the VIP seats had ever bid.
Tang Shi carefully observed the VIP seats for a while and found many familiar faces.
Grandfather Tang Baizhe occupied a silver card VIP seat, Tang Shi saw Tang Zhiqian and Tang Zhiling next to his grandfather, and not far away were the heads of the family, Tang Jiyuan and Tang Yue.
On the other side was the Great Elder Tang Shan, who was followed by Tang Xuanlong, and there was also a young woman, Tang Shi remembered that person was Tang Xuanling, the first person of the younger generation of the Tang family.
In a VIP seat not far from Tang Shi, Tang Shi found Li Shiyi's figure and sat next to an old man, if Tang Shi expected it, that person was Li Jingtian, the head of the Li family.
"Nine thousand six!" The price increase continued, but the sound rose and fell, and many people had withdrawn.
"Ten thousand!" Suddenly, an old man's voice came from a VIP seat.
Everyone followed the sound and looked, it was the direction of the head of the Bai family, and Tang Shi also found Bai Mufeng's figure.
"One in case!" another voice sounded, it was Li Shiyi!
The many warriors in the lobby below secretly smacked their tongues, and it was really a rich and powerful clan boss, and the price increase was getting higher and higher.
"Eleven thousand five. ”
Tang Shi was stunned, it was grandpa's voice.
Yes, Sanbo didn't happen to be the late stage of Juyuan Realm, and grandpa did this obviously to prepare for Sanbo to open the palace.
"Hmph! 12,000!" Li Shiye also found out that it was Tang Baizhe bidding with him, and he was immediately aroused.
"Twelve thousand five!" Tang Baizhe didn't care, and continued to increase the price steadily.
"Ten thousand thirteen!" Li Shiyi's face was not good, "Old Man Tang, I advise you not to increase the price, if you have this money, it is better to use it to improve the cultivation conditions for your precious grandson!"
"Don't worry about Li Gongzi, Xiaosun Tang Shi only built the foundation a few days ago, you better save some more resources for yourself!"
Tang Baizhe smiled, with a feeling of raising his eyebrows, "I'll pay 14,000, if Li Gongzi still wants to compete, you might as well continue to bid, and I will give it to you as an old man."
"Building the foundation? Tang Shi, I only refined the fifth layer of the body realm a month ago, and now I am building the foundation, is Old Man Tang joking?" Li Shiyi's heart tightened, and his first reaction was that Tang Baizhe was joking.
"Do you think I need to joke with you?" Tang Baizhe was a little displeased, he Tang Baizhe was also a well-known figure in the Daimyo County, how could he joke with a junior, "If Gongzi Li doesn't bid again, then this Kaigong Dan is the old man's!"
Li Shiyi was shocked in his heart, and blurted out: "Fifteen thousand!"
