With Meng Qi's wisdom, how could he easily fall for such a fool? He shook his head again and again: "This kind of good thing, it's better to keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly!"

Yang Tianhong glanced at him and said leisurely: "I also saw the word "best man" in an ancient book in the Library Pavilion. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIt is said that this is a custom that existed in ancient times. Being a groomsman is not just about drinking, it's about great benefits. ”

Meng Qi suddenly pricked up his ears and asked curiously, "What's the benefit?"

Yang Tianhong lowered his head, and his magnetic male voice was full of seduction: "According to the classical records, a person who became a best man on the day of marriage has a high chance of finding a bridesmaid whose appearance, knowledge, and net worth are no different from the bride. One is the best man and the other is the bridesmaid, what kind of relationship will develop into in the future, I don't need to say more, right? ”

Meng Qi's eyes glowed.

He had seen Xiaohe after taking the elixir. That kind of glamorous and alluring face is not too much to describe as a nine-day fairy. In this regard, Meng Qi could only lament that Yang Tianhong's luck was so good that it was bursting. Even when I was studying in Guozijian, I could find such a beautiful girlfriend. This kind of good thing, why can't it be your turn?

The elderly love money, and the young love sex. Although there are many beautiful maids in Meng Qi's family, none of them can match the color of Xiaohe. Happiness is always a contrast. In contrast, Meng Qi only felt that Yang Tianhong was born a rich and noble child, but he became a bitter cauliflower who planted grass and sold himself on the street.

Meng Qi suddenly felt the adrenaline index in his body soar, and he asked nervously and excitedly, "You, are you sure?"

Yang Tianhong's conspiracy succeeded, and he smiled weirdly: "When did I lie to you?"

Meng Qi wanted to confirm again: "If you are the best man, you will have a beautiful bridesmaid?"

Yang Tianhong nodded: "That's what the book says." Even if you don't believe me. We must also trust our predecessors and ancients. They don't lie. ”

Meng Qi thought for a while, and said categorically: "I will be your best man, for the sake of a beautiful wife, even if I am drunk to death, I will admit it." ”

Yang Tianhong's smile was extremely evil: "Manly man, a mouthful of spit and a nail, don't deny it!"

Meng Qi was righteous and Ling Ran: "That's for sure." I've always been true to my word. ”

The female auctioneer on the field also happened to make a voice at this time: "Below." It is the penultimate item of today's auction. ”

The two men turned their heads in unison and turned their gaze to the circular platform in the center of the guest seats. I saw several powerful men holding sticks and holding a group of poor girls.

There were twelve of them, about fifteen or sixteen years old. In order to make the guests see more clearly, the girls wore only a thin skirt. They are adults, their skin is smooth and delicate, and they are as charming as satin in the surrounding lights, and they all have a youthful and immature atmosphere all over their bodies.

To add to their attractiveness, they wear black belly pockets close to their bodies. Through the extremely thin gauze fabric, these black fabrics wrap around the body, posing a fatal temptation to every man. The bumpy figure also shows this well. All the girls are about the same height, and their beauty is by no means comparable to the ordinary goods in the restaurant brothel. Of course, if only one of them stood on the stage, it would not have such a shocking effect. When twelve young girls get together, they feel like they are blooming.

The female auctioneer's voice was still sweet: "Last year, the army of the Qi State conquered the West Sea and returned to the division victoriously. Twelve aristocratic women from the Xihai tribe were commissioned by the Qi State Education and Culture Workshop to sell. Ladies and gentlemen, the brochure in your hand contains the details of all the goods. Name, age, skills, specialties, etc...... It should be noted that All twelve shipments must be sold at the same time, not dispersed, and no single bid for one of the shipments. Otherwise, the outcry will be deemed invalid. ”

Meng Qi was not surprised by this.

It's common to put people at auction as goods. Rongdi in the north, barbarians in the south. There are also tribes large and small from all over the border, which have always been the targets of plundering by the imperial court officials and troops. Of course, there is no such thing as good and evil in war, and the spoils of war belong to generals and soldiers. In addition to gold and silver jewelry, the most valuable part. It is the young men and the beautiful virgins among the plundered population. After professional training and rigorous training, the former can become an excellent samurai in the nursing home, and the latter is a living sign that restaurants and brothels compete to buy. As the auctioneer said, from last year to the present, the reason why it took a whole year to put these girls out for auction is that it needs a process of training and training. They are no longer the pampered ladies of the big families at the beginning of the war, but completely become slaves who act on the orders of their masters.

The matter that should be explained has been explained, and the female auctioneer put on a very seductive posture, and her voice is delicate: "The reserve price of the goods is 15,000 taels of silver. Now, we invite buyers to place bids. ”

That's a lot of money. In the state of Chu, even during the harvest season, buying a girl of the same age and middle appearance from a human trafficker is only twenty taels of silver. The reason why the auction price is set so high is because of the original tribal aristocratic status of these girls, and secondly, because they are from the Qi State, and after the transaction is over, the Chu State will also have to pay a certain amount of taxes.

A middle-aged man in a cyan robe on the opposite side of the guest seat smiled slightly and raised the number plate in his hand: "Sixteen thousand taels." ”

On the side, an old man with a thick jade wrench held up a sign: "Seventeen thousand taels." ”

A young man who had obviously been addicted to wine all the year round, with a thin body and a yellow complexion, held up the number plate, and his voice was as sharp as that of a eunuch: "Twenty thousand taels ......"

Meng Qi said with a wicked smile: "These guys are really rich, and they are really willing to spend money on women." 20,000 lines of silver is not much, but it is not too little. It's just that these female slaves bought it, and the cost of clothing must not be the same as that of ordinary domestic servants. said that she was a servant, but she was too lifting, and at most she was a toy by her side. After a while, I got tired of it, and either because of something, I angered the owner and was beaten to death, or I handed it over to the human tooth to sell again. In short, it's a money-losing thing to buy back, so it's better to ......"

Don't wait to finish the sentence. Meng Qi had already seen Yang Tianhong, who was sitting next to him, holding up the number plate and shouting loudly: "Twenty-one thousand taels." ”

Meng Qi was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "You, what are you doing with the sign?" Do you want to buy them?"

Yang Tianhong glanced at Meng Qi and said lightly: "These women are not bad. Worth the price. ”

The middle-aged man on the opposite side had the same complexion. The high price of 23,000 taels has been shouted.

Meng Qi asked puzzledly, "What are you buying them for?" Do you need them to be maids?"

Yang Tianhong held up the sign and continued to shout: "Twenty-five thousand taels." ”

Immediately, he put down the sign and said in a low voice: "This matter is not clear for a while. Anyway, I'm going to make up my mind about these women. ”

Meng Qi suddenly came to his senses: "Are you sure?"

Yang Tianhong nodded: "No matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it." ”

The shouts come and go, and the upside is not very large, at most it is an increase of one or two thousand taels. Everyone knows very well that it is very cheap to buy slaves from human traffickers, and there are large and small wars around the Chu State every year. Looted slaves were often available for purchase. If the price is too high, first, it can't be paid, and second, it is not necessary.

Despite this, the price for Yang Tianhong to buy these twelve girls in the end was still as high as 51,000 taels of silver.

Two big men in black suits walked over, inspected the VIP number plate in Yang Tianhong's hand, confirmed the authenticity, and turned to make a gesture to the auctioneer standing on the stage.

They are all first-grade Qi Refiners. Sensing the aura of extraordinary energy emanating from Meng Qi and Yang Tianhong's bodies, he was afraid. Time. The faces of the two big men became respectful, and their postures were also very low.

The auctioneer's voice came from the platform: "Congratulations to the one hundred and fourth guest. The final price of the 22nd item in this auction was 51,000 taels. Congratulations again, lucky guest. ”

Twelve teenage girls left in a line and quickly disappeared from the platform.

Yang Tianhong saw that the young man with a yellow face kept shaking his head, and in the distance, he could still hear the muttering sound coming from his mouth.

"It's a pity. It's a shame. These women look very clean, and I've always wanted to do an experiment to see how humans and bulls react? If you get pregnant, you can milk the cow directly from the woman, wouldn't it be nice to have it? and save yourself the strong fishy smell of the milk......

Meng Qi shuddered when he heard this. Quickly shook his head and shifted his attention to the female auctioneer.

Yang Tianhong didn't care, and the expression on his face didn't change.

Buying these girls is indeed an unintentional act.

As soon as they stepped onto the platform, Huang Shiren's consciousness came from the Linglong Treasure Lock.

"Master, these women are no ordinary people. They all have spiritual roots. It's really rare, it's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, and I've seen so many beautiful women with spiritual roots. If I guessed correctly, these women all belong to the same family, and only when they are connected by blood will they produce offspring with spiritual roots at the same time. ”

At that time, Yang Tianhong asked puzzledly: "What is a spiritual root?"

Huang Shiren's voice was very exaggerated, with a faint hint of ridicule: "Master, you don't even know the spiritual root? Hahahaha...... The so-called spiritual root refers to the innate ability to absorb foreign spiritual energy and the ability to perceive the rules of heaven and earth. Master, do you know why there are so many spirits in the world? It is because all monsters have spiritual roots, and they can only be animals or plants with spiritual roots, so they can successfully cultivate into monsters. You humans are different from us, the degree of wisdom opening is very common, and there is a unique way of transmission of spiritual comprehension, "words". In short, humans who don't have spiritual roots can also cultivate, but the cultivation speed is relatively slow. In contrast, if someone has a spiritual root, their cultivation speed is at least ten times faster than that of an ordinary physique human. ”

Yang Tianhong asked again: "How do you know that these women have spiritual roots?

This question was once again ridiculed by Huang Shiren: "You can't see it with your eyes alone." It's a feeling, a special sensing ability that belongs to our youkai clan. How can I say that, like the host, you sometimes suddenly feel the danger, although without warning, but the feeling is very clear. When I was a child, I felt about the spiritual root, and that's pretty much it. Words can't describe it, but I definitely don't deceive the host. ”

With Huang Shiren's words, Yang Tianhong will certainly not let go of these women. Don't say it's just tens of thousands of taels of silver, even if the price is high, as much as hundreds of thousands of taels, he will still take it out without blinking.

Meng Qi really didn't understand why Yang Tianhong wanted to buy these women. It's been chattering.

"You're wasting money, I don't know why you're doing this?"

Yang Tianhong smiled mysteriously: "You guess?"

......

A man in a black robe slowly walked onto the platform. In his hand was a large silver platter, and in the plate was a jade bottle of pure texture. The man walked cautiously, as if he were holding a sleeping elf in his hand, and the slightest movement would immediately wake him up from his sleep. Then slip away.

Glancing at the man who had already walked to the stage and stood still, the female auctioneer's face was wiped with too much makeup, revealing a touch of undisguised excitement. She cleared her throat, raised her voice, and walked briskly from the left side of the platform to the right, and from the right to the left, shouting, "Today is a very special day. Ladies and gentlemen, you are really lucky, because the next lot is the last lot of the day. Not ordinary goods of the world. This is a real immortal elixir, a supreme elixir from the mysterious cultivation world, which can prolong life, rejuvenate and rejuvenate, and live the dead. ”

This statement is obviously too exaggerated, and if it were placed in the cultivation world, I am afraid that the monks would scoff at this kind of auction introduction. Although the Yuan Qi Pill is precious, it can only be regarded as ordinary in the cultivation world. Although the monthly pills of each sect will be taken by the disciples of the sect. There will still be a small amount of inventory within the sect to a greater or lesser extent. Of course, these drugs will definitely not appear in the secular world in exchange for gold and silver. Again, that's the same sentence. Gold and silver are no different from scrap metal to monks.

However, there are always exceptions.

The people who are qualified to enter the auction house are all powerful and wealthy with heads and faces. They had already seen the Yuanqi Pill at the end of the auction on the auction list. Many people are eager to try this, and they have prepared a lot of gold and silver in advance. When there is no money left, there is no more money to be made, and there is more gold and silver to a certain extent. It becomes a meaningless number. The Immortal Pill is different. If you eat that kind of thing, you can prolong your life and rejuvenate yourself. Note that this is definitely not empty words, as there have been similar situations before. Merely. Mortals who take the Yuan Qi Pill directly will be supported to death by strong spiritual energy. The correct way to take it is to slowly dissolve the Yuan Qi Pill with wine, mix it with water repeatedly, and take it multiple times according to the time and physical condition of each person.

In the eyes of the monks, this way of eating is really wasteful. A large amount of spiritual energy dissipated in the air in vain, and the beneficial part of the human body actually entered the human body, which was at most one-third of the content of the elixir. However, for ordinary people, there is not much left, and it can even be said that it is insignificant spiritual energy, which is enough to make their gray hair black, the old man in twilight regrows teeth, and the half-dead body is full of vigorous energy again, and the old woman who has been menopausal for many years finds that her crotch will turn red and wet every month, and she will be very unexpectedly pregnant with a doll after following the men outside or at home for so many times.

The female auctioneer's shouts were hoarse, and she pointed to a black wooden board that had just been erected on the side of the platform next to the man, and said sharply: "The auction goods this time are very precious. In accordance with the rules of our Jade Pavilion, a hidden reserve price has been set for this auction. You are all regular customers of this cabinet, and the rules are very clear. If you feel that there is no objection, then the last auction will start now. ”

Yang Tianhong frowned, turned sideways, and asked Meng Qi, who was sitting next to him, in a low voice: "Set the reserve price, what does this mean?"

It was the first time he had participated in such an auction. For auctions, Yang Tianhong's experience comes from another world. In general rules, there is no difference between the two worlds, except that the highest bidder wins, the auctioneer bids each guest three times, and after the auction is over, he is charged a commission according to the proportion, etc...... Yujin Pavilion's behavior of setting the floor price is really unfamiliar to Yang Tianhong.

Meng Qi lowered his voice and pointed to the black wooden sign on the platform: "Do you see that sign?" Behind it, there is a number written in advance. The size of the number corresponds to the estimated value of the lot. Taking the Yuanqi Pill as an example, if it appears in the ordinary market, the price is usually around five million taels of silver. Of course, this price will go up or down depending on the number of buyers. If you're lucky, you might be able to buy it for four million. If there are more buyers, it may take eight or nine million, or even ten million, to take it down. For such extremely precious and scarce goods, the auction house will set a reserve price in advance. They would write down the estimated price and mark it on the back of the black card. For example, if the final bidder in the auction is lower than this number, the auction will still be counted as an unsuccessful auction even if there is no second person to compete with it. If the final buyer's price is higher than the estimated price of five million, the auction will be established, and you will give you the silver, and I will give you the goods, and we will not owe each other. ”

Yang Tianhong nodded thoughtfully: "So that's the case." ”

This is a very scientific method of trading. Even in the auction house, there are malicious bids and mutual support. For example, if someone takes a fancy to a product, invites other familiar buyers, and privately agrees that they will not compete with each other at a higher price, so that one of them will auction the sale at an extremely low price. When the goods arrived, they took out the silver to make up the difference. In this way, the auction house will not earn too much silver taels, and he will also get benefits. (To be continued.) )
