Chapter 138: The Imperial Capital Chatter before the auction

The southeast corner of the imperial capital

The autumn auction is the most important auction event of the year in the imperial capital, which is run by the largest chamber of commerce in the imperial capital, which lasts for as long as a month, and the most important of them is the large-scale bidding meeting in the middle of the decade. It can be described as a legal black market.

Most of the nobles in the imperial capital have different levels of cards in their hands, and Peng Xiu naturally has them, among which the black magnetic card is the most expensive. But this is actually just some gimmicks, even if Peng Xiu doesn't have a card, he can enter by brushing his face, and his black card doesn't have an auction deposit like other cards, it's just a black empty card.

The auction hall is a semi-circular stage hall, with an echo effect like an opera hall, allowing the auctioneer's voice to spread to every corner, and the three-story building form allows guests of different levels to fill the venue according to their identities.

Peng Xiu and the others were led to a VIP room in the center of the third floor, which was undoubtedly the best place to directly overlook the entire venue, not only to see the various details of the auctioned items from top to bottom, but also to observe other people and things in the venue.

At this time, the tea and soft couches have been prepared, waiting for Peng Xiu and a few people to sit down.

Both Hikage and Yulia had been in this kind of place for the first time, and after the servants had set up their arrangements and retreated, the two began to look around.

"It's quite interesting to set up and the location is nice. Yulia exclaimed.

"Your Excellency is satisfied, the food here is also good, and we can watch while eating. Peng Xiu suggested.

"Well, that's not bad either. I haven't eaten the food of the Purple Kite Imperial Capital yet. Yulia said happily when she heard this.

Peng Xiu was actually looking at the Sun Shadow when he said the food, and he saw that the Sun Shadow's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a knowing smile, and he recalled in his mind the list of famous desserts here, and whether there was anything missing from the list he had just ordered.

"Xiaoying, why haven't you been here? Shouldn't this place be famous?" Yulia also saw that Sunkage was just like him, full of curiosity about this place, and looked forward to the food, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I don't know much about the imperial capital. Sunkage explained.

Nikei thought back to the past two years when he came to the imperial capital, either on the way to the mission, or on the way back at the end of the mission, at most he was resting in Peng Xiu's mansion, plus he really didn't have much interest in the outside world, and he barely went out of the house during the days of repair.

"I haven't been here for a year or two, which isn't surprising. Peng Xiu explained for Sun Shadow.

"Sometimes there are catalogs of rare treasures that are sent to the house. If you are interested, you can come and have a look, and if you don't want to come, you can also take a picture directly in the house. Does Xiaoying remember the booklet she flipped through last year?" Peng Xiu asked as he looked at Riying with a smile.

Sun Ying remembered the small album he had flipped through last year, and nodded in realization. He vaguely remembered that it was Robert who handed it to him around this time last year, asked him to flip through it, and asked if there was anything he liked in it. He had no interest in it and handed it back to Robert.

"And do you remember what Robert said last year?"

Sunshadow raised an eyebrow, recalling slightly.

Last year, Robert seemed to say, ask if there is anything you like in it, and you can just say what you like, this kind of thing.

Sunshadow nodded in confirmation at Peng Xiu.

"Well, that's the same year that Robert said last year. ”

"Do you have to be so subtle when Your Highness sends something? Let me guess. Last year, did this Lord Robert follow His Highness's wishes to tell Xiaoying that you can buy whatever you like?" Yulia heard from the sidelines, and unceremoniously pierced.

In the previous information of Danfeng Town, it was read that Peng Xiu and Riying were a pair of superiors and subordinates with a very high degree of trust and a close relationship. In the information of Spring Town, it is more likely that the two are a pair of friends who have a good relationship. According to Peng Xiu's identity, it can be said that he cares a lot about the Japanese shadow. And after she came to the imperial capital, she saw the badge on the neck of the sun shadow, and heard rumors about the imperial capital, and a series of information showed that the intimacy of the relationship between the two was high, and it was indeed an ordinary subordinate and subordinate.

But what made Yulia even more sure that their relationship was not ordinary, but the impression of them when they first met, and the moment Peng Xiu watched her throw away the white silk scarf, she was sure that Peng Xiu's defense in the main hall was not true, not that he had a good impression of her, but that he was disgusted with her good impression of Sun Shadow. It's not just the white silk scarf that she throws away, but what she wants to throw away is her love for the Sunshadow.

Although Yulia felt a little inexplicable, the woman's intuition convinced her of this.

At this time, it was not in the main hall, but a small space with only the three of them, and she felt that she could pierce the Tao without any scruples.

"Your Highness is really unusual to Xiaoying. ”

Peng Xiu, who was pierced through his heart, felt a little unhappy, but the expression on his face still did not change, and he smiled very handsomely.

"Her Highness may not understand. Xiaoying has just spent a lot of money recently, and he may be short on money, and as a friend, I don't want him to miss out on what he likes. What do you say, Your Excellency?"

Although Peng Xiu seems to be kind to Sun Shadow, there seems to be no reason, and he may not understand these good reasons and whereabouts, but at the moment of the great enemy, no matter what kind of intimate relationship it is, it should not be exposed in front of people and expose its weakness, so the superficial explanation work still has to be done, they are just very good friends, just because his family has a big business and power, and he can include close friends and trusted subordinates at least under the very full wings of the imperial capital.

"I see. Yulia didn't continue to poke at Peng Xiu, and it didn't make sense to say too much. She turned to look at the Sun Shadow, "Then the little shadow will also tell me, before His Highness becomes a king, maybe he will not be as rich as me." Tell me what you like, I'll buy it for you, okay?" Yulia said as she shook Sunshadow's arm, revealing a little girl's delicate appearance.

"I probably don't have much interest in that. For the fact that both of them have to pay for him to buy things, Riying really feels a little speechless, although he has recently made a large expenditure, but he has never felt that money is of any use to him before, but at this time the conversation between the two made him feel very poor, although for these two local tyrants and rich people, his wealth is indeed not worth mentioning.

"I think Her Excellency the Holy Maiden is also unusual to Xiaoying. Peng Xiu was really not very happy at this time, and said in a weird manner.

Although he knew that they had nothing to do with each other and would not have anything to do with each other in the future, Peng Xiu felt that the slender jade hand that belonged to Yulia on Sun Shadow's arm was very annoying to him at this time.

"Your Excellency the Holy Maiden obviously saw that Xiaoying should not have more than three sides, right? Why did she show so much intimacy to Xiaoying? This is not in line with the prestige that the Holy Maiden should be high. ”

This is actually what Peng Xiu has always found strange, why he named him to greet him and also named Sun Shadow, and why he recognized Sun Ying when they met for the first time, and showed unreasonable intimacy, and this intimacy has continued to this day.

He has not been able to get the reason for these strange places. And he's pretty sure that Sunshadow doesn't know Yulia, and that Sunshadow is just as confused as he is. At this time, when this opportunity came to him, he also asked directly.

"Didn't Your Highness ask me the first time we met? I replied to you right then, why did you forget?" Yulia smiled slyly, she knew that Peng Xiu also wanted to ask her, and her reply was successful, which made Peng Xiu a little confused.

"Didn't I tell Your Highness, even though Your Highness was joking with me at the time, but what I said was true. I said that although Your Highness is handsome, Xiaoying is more in line with my appetite. ”

This answer is not much different from Yulia's reply to the Sunshadow. Sun Shadow knew that Yulia would not really reply to Peng Xiu. At this time, as the party being discussed, Nikei really didn't want to intervene.

Just before the auction began, a few people were chattering until now, and suddenly there was some unusual movement at the door.

"Your Highness, please move to the front room today. Ruili's glutinous and seductive voice blocked the doorway.

"Ruili, are you stupid today? Why can't our Highness enter here? Don't you know that this position is the exclusive location of Your Highness? Hurry up and get rid of the people inside. A rude male voice yelled at Ruili at the door.

"No, Your Highness. Please move to the front room, Ruili has everything ready for you. Ruili insisted.

"Since you know who I am, who else in the imperial capital is more noble than me, and who else dares to occupy the place I am going to?"

"I think there's probably another one. A recognizable, low, magnetic male voice came from the mouth of a very well-dressed man beside Peng Long, whose slender and well-proportioned limbs were wrapped in a well-cut knight's uniform, which was both elegant and neat, and could not help but make others look at it twice. Among the group of people around Peng Long, only he said with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Who are you talking about?" asked Peng Long with a cold face.

"Is this gentleman talking about me?" a sudden, agile voice sounded from behind the door that had been opened. It was Yulia's voice.

"It's you, Your Excellency. Peng Long immediately turned his anger into joy when he saw Yulia, and greeted him with a smile.

The people behind Peng Long hurriedly began to salute, and there were even a few followers of the Bright Sect inside, so they knelt down directly.

"May the light of the Goddess shine upon you. Yulia bypassed Peng Long and walked over to the kneeling believers, responding to them first.

At all times, Yulia will perform her duties in a timely and appropriate manner, which is one of the reasons why she is prestigious.

Several believers received Yulia's blessing response earlier than Peng Long, and their hearts were naturally extremely moved. They felt that in the Holy Maiden, they seemed to be more noble than the Highness in front of them, and more worthy of blessing and respect. They saluted again before they got up.

"You can go down first. Peng Long said unhappily.

A few people had to be reluctant to go on.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness Peng Xiu is also here. At that time, the beautiful low and magnetic male voice sounded again.

Sun Ying saw a stunned and shocked feeling that Peng Xiu had never seen before. He even heard a little tremor in Peng Xiu's voice, which he had never heard before.

"Why are you here?"
