Chapter 125: The Auction Begins
Early the next morning, Wu Yan was woken up by the continuous knocking on the door, and got up and opened the door in an extremely unhappy mood.
"Squeak", I saw Piaoxue and Ling'er appear outside the door together, and the expressions of the two of them didn't seem to be very pleasant.
It turned out that the two of them thought that Wu Yan would accompany them to the auction alone, but they didn't know that the other party was going to go as soon as they met just now, and then they poured their anger on Wu Yan.
Looking at the complaining expressions of the two, Wu Yan didn't know who to comfort first for a while, and stammered: "...... Morning!"
"Hmph!" the two of them complained at the same time, pushed Wu Yan, and each found a stool to sit down.
Wu scratched his head and thought, "What kind of trouble are the two of you going to make in the early morning?" But neither of these two people could afford to provoke themselves, so he immediately pretended to be angry and said: "You guys are here to rest and rest, I'm going to go to Tongtian Auction House to take a turn." ”
Seeing that Wu Yan actually ignored him, the two glared at each other, then got up and chased out.
"Brother Wu resents wait for me!"
"Dumb, stop me!"
When Wu Yan heard the shout, he not only did not stop, but also quickened his pace.
When he came to the outside of the hospital, Wu Yan saw that Han Tong was already waiting there, and he was immediately relieved, thinking: "With Han Tong here, presumably the two of them will not point the finger at themselves again." Hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Han, let's go!"
Han Tong asked, "Why don't you wait for Piaoxue and Ling'er?" As soon as the words fell, the two chased them out of the courtyard.
Han Tong looked at Wu Yan's embarrassed appearance again, guessed the reason, and whispered to Wu Yan and smiled: "You kid is really blessed!"
Wu Yan pouted: "Uncle Han, don't make fun of me, I'm dying of sorrow!"
"Haha! How many people can't know about such a beautiful blessing! Okay, I'll help you!"
"Uncle Han!" the two shouted in unison.
Han Tong waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone is already together." Let's go to the auction house together!"
In front of Han Tong, the two of them were really much more well-behaved, and went out and got into a carriage and went straight to Tongtian Auction House.
At this time, the crowd gathered around the Tongtian Auction House, leaving only one passage at the main entrance. Even if you don't have the chance to enter the auction, someone will come to see what treasures can be auctioned.
In order to ensure the smooth conduct of the auction, the auction house even cooperated with Zhongzong's city defense force to maintain order on the spot.
Wu Yan and his entourage kept driving the carriage to the door of the auction before getting off, otherwise it would be really difficult to squeeze over.
As soon as they got off the bus, they immediately attracted the attention of those present.
"That older one is the vice president of Han Tong of the Fu Master Guild, and the one next to him is the Drifting Snow Girl, who is that young man?"
"I don't know, that young man must be Wu Yan who won the final victory in the talisman competition a few days ago!"
"Well, it's really a talent, heroic and extraordinary!"
"Who is the beautiful girl?"
"It's really a bit face-to-face, but which hero doesn't have a few beautiful women in front of him, what's so strange!"
Wu Yan listened to the passers-by's evaluation of Ling'er, and almost fell to the ground, and couldn't stop the joy of hehe.
What Wu Yan didn't expect was that at this time, by the window on the fourth floor of the auction, a beautiful woman was looking at his figure, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly: "It's really not an ordinary person!"
After the four of them entered the door, Mu Gancheng stepped forward to greet them. Han Tong and Ling'er took out the invitation card and handed it over, while Wu Yan and Piaoxue took out a token with "Sect Master's Imperial Gift" written on it and lit it up.
Mu Gancheng knew Piaoxue, but when he saw that Wu Yan also had a token, he was immediately surprised: "Your Excellency is Wu Yan of the Fu Master Guild?"
Wu was afraid that Mu Gancheng would recognize him, so he said lightly: "It's exactly below!"
As the top auction house in Longquan Continent, Tongtian Auction House usually collects information about some local elites in addition to daily auction activities.
Prior to this, the auction recognized Wu Yan as an ordinary person, just an ordinary talisman. However, being able to get the imperial token from the master of Zhongzong shows that Wu Yan still has an unknown side to ordinary people, which makes Mu Gancheng have to pay attention to it.
Thinking of this layer, Mu Gancheng explained to his subordinates and temporarily adjusted the seats of the four of them to a better viewing position.
Then he warmly complimented: "Sure enough, he is a hero out of a young man, and I hope that the little brother will take care of our auction house's business more in the future." ”
Wu Yan said: "That's nature!"
Mu Gancheng looked at Wu Yan's faint reaction, a little unhappy in his heart, no longer continued to compliment, and said politely: "The four of you, please, there is still some time before the auction starts!"
This time, when crossing that barrier, Wu Yan found that he had come to a huge circular auction hall. Obviously the formation has changed.
I saw that this hall was divided into two floors, and the first floor was full of seats, and there were about hundreds of them. The second floor is all closed rooms, almost a dozen or so, and only some nobles and big forces have the right to enter them. In the middle of the first floor there is a raised circular platform, known as the auction table, where all items are auctioned.
At this time, there were only a few people scattered in the hall, and most of them had not yet arrived.
Under the leadership of the guy, the four of them were led to the private room on the second floor.
Han Tong said strangely: "No, wasn't it all on the first floor in previous years, why did you bring us to the second floor this time?"
The man said respectfully: "This is what Master Mu meant!" After speaking, he withdrew.
Han Tong looked at Wu and complained: "It seems that this time we are blessed with these two tokens!"
Wu Yan raised his eyes and looked at the entire hall, and said in his heart: "How is this private room designed, it is really ingenious, you can clearly see the situation in the auction hall from the inside, but you can't see the situation inside from the outside." It's good to save Ling'er and Piaoxue from being watched again.
After a while, the people in the auction hall began to come in one after another, Wu Yan looked at it for a while and found that he didn't know anyone, and then turned around and found that Ling'er was holding a sugar gourd in his hand to eat Zhengtian, and then looked at the drifting snow on the side from time to time, with a greedy look.
"Ling'er!" Wu complained and winked.
"Hmph!" Ling'er complained and said, "Just one!" After speaking, he pulled another string from the space necklace and handed it to Piaoxue. In addition to Wu Resentment, the things she cares about the most are probably delicious.
"Thank you, Sister Ling'er!" After getting the sugar gourd, Piaoxue called sweetly.
After that, the two sat down together and ate together.
Wu Yan laughed dryly, turned his head, but heard a familiar name - Nie Zhenyuan.
"I didn't expect him to come!" Wu Yan's original intention of coming to Zhongzong was to avenge the distant dart line, but there was no good way, but in his heart, Wu Yan had been thinking about it.
I saw Nie Zhen saying hello to the people around him while walking from afar, obviously he was also a celebrity in Zhongzong.
In the end, I sat on the seat closest to the auction table and talked and laughed with the people next to me.
Seeing this scene, Wu Yan was even more angry, he can get the current treatment, which is exchanged for hundreds of lives in the distant dart, I will definitely find an opportunity to reveal his true face.
Finding Wu's angry look, Han Tong was curious: "Do you know him?"
Wu Yan hurriedly put away his anger and said, "No, I don't know!"
Han Tong hesitated for a moment and then said, "I am very familiar with this person, and he can be regarded as the person of the year in Zhongzong. ”
Wu Yan asked, "Oh, how do you say it?"
Han Tong thought for a while and said, "I remember meeting him once three years ago. At that time, he was just a dart master in a distant dart shop. Later, I heard that I didn't know what I had done wrong and was expelled from the dart business. After that, I don't know who supported him, he actually started his own dart shop. After a year of development, he grew from only five or six dart masters to hundreds of dart masters, and became the second largest dart master in Zhongzong. ”
Speaking of this, Han Tong frowned and continued: "What is even more unexpected is that a year ago, Zhongzong's No. 1 Dart Shop was slaughtered overnight. Since then, Nie Zhenyuan has taken over all the business of the distant dart shop, and has become the No. 1 dart shop in Zhongzong! I am an old acquaintance with Cheng Yuanfang, the big dart head of the distant dart shop, so I have always paid more attention to this matter. ”
Wu Yan didn't expect Nie Zhenyuan to come from the distant dart shop, and then asked, "Isn't it possible that the matter of the distant dart shop has not been found out who did it?"
Han Tongdao: "It's strange at this point, after the massacre, the sect master was furious and ordered the city defense commander Ge Huai to investigate the matter, but in the end, after arresting dozens of people and beheading, there was no follow-up to the matter." So I suspect that there must be a big man behind this matter, otherwise it would never have been left alone. ”
By the time he said this, the entire floor was almost full.
Suddenly, a loud shout interrupted the conversation between the two: "Everyone, the auction is about to start, and I invite the auctioneer this time-Situ Hongyu!"
As soon as the words fell, a beautiful woman in a red dress floated down leisurely from the top of the auction hall, her handsome face and her skin that could be broken by blowing a bullet suddenly made the entire auction hall boil.
Wu Yan fixed his eyes and said in shock: "It turned out to be her!"
