Chapter 59: Arrived
Ling Feng guessed correctly, it was the eldest prince who quoted just now. He saw that Ling Feng had quoted the price, and he wanted to get these two hollow lotus grasses, so he was naturally unwilling to let Ling Feng succeed, and a few thousand taels of silver was just a drop in the bucket for him, so he quoted a higher price.
Originally, Ling Feng's offer had already surprised everyone in the hall, and now the price quoted by the Great Prince made everyone even more crazy.
Ling Feng, who was bound to win, smiled faintly, and under the expectant gaze of everyone, he said slowly: "Six thousand one hundred taels!"
"Seven thousand taels!" the eldest prince did not show weakness, and immediately shouted his price viciously.
Hearing the tone of the eldest prince, some clever people in the crowd had vaguely guessed that the two people who had made the offer must have a lot of contradictions, and they watched the battle between the two with great interest, wanting to see which one was stronger and which was weak, they felt that in full view, for the sake of face, Ling Feng would definitely quote a higher price again.
Under everyone's expectations, Ling Feng did not continue to offer, but just smiled and said loudly: "Congratulations, you won!"
Hearing Ling Feng's words, everyone in the hall was speechless for a while. Unexpectedly, Ling Feng casually quoted two prices, so he asked the other party to buy two medicinal herbs that were useless to him at a high price, this person was too insidious.
Many people even laughed and looked at the eldest prince like monkeys.
The eldest prince was stunned, and immediately understood that he had been fooled! Ling Feng knew that he would definitely go against him, so he was deliberately fooling himself by doing this!
I didn't expect Ling Feng to be so despicable, the eldest prince's mouth was almost crooked, not that he felt sorry for this money, but that he was angry that he was tricked by Ling Feng!
And in the VIP room where Ling Feng was, the third prince was full of surprise, he didn't understand, it was clear that Ling Feng was bound to get the hollow lotus grass, why did he give up now?
Did he feel that he couldn't fight the eldest prince, so he compromised? But looking at his expression, it didn't look like he wanted to compromise. The more the third prince thought about it, the more suspicious he became.
Ling Feng understood that with his own financial resources, he couldn't fight the eldest prince at all. And even if you fight it, it will inevitably cost a lot of money. Ling Feng naturally would not spend a lot of money to let the grand prince's conspiracy succeed. So in the face of the eldest prince's aggressiveness, he had to pretend to deliberately back down, making the eldest prince think that he was teasing him by doing so.
Although he showed a smile on his face, his eyes inadvertently swept over the lean man in the auction hall. From the latter's gaze before, he had already found that the other party was the same as himself, and he was bound to get those two hollow lotus grasses. Therefore, he had to pin his hopes on the latter. Only if the latter came forward to make an offer, it would be possible for him to snatch the two hollow lotus plants from the hands of the eldest prince.
Sure enough, under Ling Feng's eager anticipation, the lean man gritted his teeth, endured the heartache, and finally made up his mind and said, "I'll pay seven thousand one hundred taels!" This is already the highest price he can afford, if Ling Feng or any of the eldest princes quote a higher price, then he is really powerless and has to give up.
The eldest prince felt that he was being put on the table by Ling Feng, and he was depressed, but when he heard someone quote a higher price than himself, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw that it was the lean man before. In this way, Ling Feng's calculations for himself also failed.
However, at this moment, the eldest prince was happy, but Ling Feng was even happier than him, after all, he didn't dare to confirm whether the lean man would really do this just now.
"I'll give you eight thousand taels!"
Before the eldest prince's laughter fell, Ling Feng's faint voice came out again.
The reason why he quoted such a high price this time was also to use his strength to achieve the purpose of deterring the lean man and confusing the eldest prince. If the price is too low, bidding again and again with the lean man will inevitably make the eldest prince guess his true purpose.
Therefore, although the price is higher, Ling Feng is gambling! He bets that the eldest prince and the lean man will not dare to quote again!
As Ling Feng expected, after hearing his offer, the lean man, who could no longer afford a higher price, moved his lips, shook his head helplessly, and chose to give up.
"This bastard Ling Feng, this one is here again, and you still want me to be the last time?" Do you think that this prince is a fool!" The eldest prince snorted disdainfully and sneered, "I won't play with you this time, you just wait to spend eight thousand taels to buy those two rotten herbs!"
For a while, after Ling Feng made a quotation, neither the lean man nor the eldest prince said anything more, and the entire auction hall was silent, and everyone was quietly waiting for their next offer.
After a while, the old man on the auction table first recovered from the shock, looking at the herbs that were originally about to be auctioned for 5,000 taels were instantly auctioned at a high price of 8,000 taels, he couldn't help but jump his eyelids when he auctioned the items all year round, suppressed the shock in his heart, broke the quiet scene, and asked with a smile: "This gentleman offered 8,000 taels of silver, and no one else bid?"
As the old man asked, everyone couldn't help but look at the thin man and the eldest prince in the VIP room, and they could only be these two if they wanted to make an offer.
But it was clear that both of them were now indifferent and had no intention of speaking.
"Is there anything else?" asked the old man again.
The audience remained silent.
The eldest prince had a sarcastic smile on his face, waiting to see Ling Feng's joke.
"One last time!" the old man's gaze swept over everyone, and he deliberately stayed at the eldest prince and the lean man for a moment, seeing that they still did not react, he suddenly knocked the golden hammer in his hand hard, "Okay! I declare that in the end, these two hollow lotus plants will belong to the VIP in the VIP room upstairs!"
The old man's heavy blow made the final decision, but it seemed to knock on Ling Feng's heart, so that his original heart finally fell. Only then did Ling Feng realize that a layer of cold sweat broke out on his hands unconsciously.
Ling Feng let out a long sigh of relief, he finally deceived the eldest prince and didn't let him compete with him, otherwise, let alone spending eight thousand taels, it was still a question whether he could photograph these two hollow lotus plants. Although a lot of money has been spent, it is definitely cost-effective compared to letting relatives reach the innate realm!
Just as Ling Feng was rejoicing, the eldest prince's sneer came from next door: "Ling Feng, congratulations! I bought these two broken grasses with a full eight thousand taels of silver, it's really a good deal!" The dog leg beside him also laughed, sneering at Ling Feng.
Anyway, he had already photographed what he needed, and Ling Feng didn't bother to pay attention to the ridicule of the eldest prince, just smiled faintly.
At this time, the third prince walked out from behind Ling Feng and said to the eldest prince next door: "Big brother, thanks to your concession, my blessing will get what he dreamed of, thank you so much!"
"What!"
Hearing the words of the third prince, the eldest prince who was laughing was shocked, revealing a face full of surprise, his eyes rolled, and he immediately understood something, and couldn't help but slap the table angrily, and said angrily: "Fuck, I was deceived by this bastard Ling Feng again!"
