Chapter 8: Wooing Concubine Ya

"Damn, let him run." With his excellent soul perception and not feeling Galeo's breath in the dust, Cheng Xing opened his mouth to scold, but he didn't chase after it, because the punch before shook his right hand and the whole hand was now a little numb.

The strength of the six-stage fighting spirit, with the compensation of high-level fighting skills, actually took over the yellow-level high-level fighting skills used by one-star fighters, this kind of combat power is already quite terrifying, as long as you cultivate for a period of time, after entering the fighter level, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have an opponent at the same level.

Sure enough, after the dust dissipated, only a dusty Xiao family uniform was left lying quietly on the road.

"If what Galeo said is not wrong, then there should be records of transactions and shipments on the Mitre family's side." Cheng Xing picked up the clothes casually, and began to think in his heart: "If this Xiao Ke and the Great Elder really have this kind of thought, then I will never let you have a good time." ”

In the memory of this body, Xiao Ke can be regarded as having no offense in the autumn, but today it is so dangerous, if it is not for this god-like fierce fire, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out.

Cheng Xing looked at the light gray floating dust on the ground, these were the only objects left after several people were burned.

Although I have seen a lot of bloody battles before, it is far less shocking than this contrast.

"This strange fire, terrifying..."

Slowly calming down his emotions, Cheng Xing casually picked up the Xiao family's uniform on the ground, patted it and put it in his backpack.

"Mitre Auction House, Concubine Ya..."

Cheng Xing muttered that if he wanted to collect evidence to verify Galeo's claim, then this Mitre auction house would definitely have to go.

The Mitre Auction House is the largest auction venue in the entire Utan City, although the Xiao family, as one of the three major families in Utan City, operates several medium-sized textile markets, but in front of this auction house, there is no comparison.

Looking at the huge venue at the end of the street, Cheng Xing quickened his pace and walked straight into the venue under the vigilant eyes of several heavily armed guards at the door.

The hall is splendid, and many of the decorations are carved directly from gold, which is quite magnificent.

Searching left and right, Cheng Xing walked towards a hut with a sign of "Reception Room" hanging on it.

Pushing the door in, there were several tables in the room, and several young women were chatting in front of a case. The cabinet behind it was stuffed with various dossier materials.

Seeing Cheng Xing coming in, several people were still chatting with themselves, and no one came to greet them.

"Ahem." Cheng Xing deliberately coughed a few times.

Only then someone came over and asked nonchalantly, "Sir, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Throwing the previous Xiao family uniforms on the case, Cheng Xing said coldly: "Help me check, when will the uniforms set by our Xiao family be ready?" ”

The few people who had gathered were all choked by the dust raised by the clothes, covering their mouths and noses and scattering.

"Yes sir, you wait a minute." The woman who received her on the side became gentle, and led Cheng Xing to sit down, pouring tea and smiling: "Please use it slowly." ”

Although the size of the Xiao family is not as large as that of the Mitre family, the annual trade volume with the Mitre family is also considerable, and if the leader knows that he treats the Xiao family's visitors like this, he will inevitably be reprimanded.

After all, this Mitre auction house can thrive in the empire, relying on first-hand sophistication.

Cheng Xing didn't have the heart to drink tea, so he sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

After a while, I heard a charming and soft voice ringing in my ears.

"Hehe, is Patriarch Xiao in a hurry? This is only a batch of goods, but it is not yet the time to ship. ”

When Cheng Xing opened his eyes, he saw the woman in front of him wearing a pale pink cheongsam, covering the pair of plump and proud capitals on her chest with her jade hands, bending down slightly, with a professional smile on her face, looking at herself.

"This is a detailed purchase order and production progress." The little mouth as ruddy as a cherry opened again, and said slowly: "They don't have a place where they don't entertain well, this is what Concubine Ya is responsible for, if you have any questions in the future, just go directly to Concubine Ya." ”

Looking at this woman's smiling face, a pair of watery and narrow beautiful eyes, it seems to be releasing gentle temptation to every man, the slender and elegant white jade neck, under the pale pink dress, looks cleaner, and the water snake waist that can be held in both hands makes people can't help but want to have a good time.

His gaze couldn't help but slide over the deep ravine in front of his chest, and then quickly fell on the material in front of him, and said with a dry smile: "How can there be poor hospitality in the Mitre auction hall?" ”

Cheng Xing took the material and put it on his knees, curled up slightly, trying to put away the spear. In the face of such a mature beauty, as a young man, it is impossible to react without a point, unless it is zero.

After Concubine Ya sat down on the side, she made a gesture, and the others went out obediently.

After taking a detailed look at the materials handed over by Concubine Ya, Cheng Xing quickly found a few loopholes, the loss and acceptance of many materials in them were no longer the previous Xiao Zhan's name, but became the names of the Great Elder and the Second Elder.

"Three sets of samples have been released?" Cheng Xing pointed to the latest line on the material, looked at Concubine Ya and asked, "Is that one on the table one of these three sets?" ”

Concubine Ya looked at the young man's determined gaze, and she was also serious, stepped on her high heels and came to the desk to take a closer look.

After a while, her pretty face was covered with gloom, and she muttered in a low voice: "No, I know the samples that came out, and I have never seen this one." ”

"But this is indeed the new uniform of the Xiao family that was made and delivered by the hands of the Mitre Auction House." Cheng Xing cut the inner collar of the clothes with a knife in front of Concubine Ya, and then opened it, revealing a small mark in front of the two.

This mark is only used in the workshops controlled by the Mitre family, including all the silk fabrics and large and small objects used in the Mitre auction house, which can be found in some hidden places.

Cheng Xing's face was expressionless, Concubine Ya's every move was on the surface, she didn't know anything about it, from the change in her demeanor, Cheng Xing was even more sure of this, Concubine Ya, who was still a little arrogant, became more subdued in the obvious.

Concubine Ya folded her clothes gently, let the dust stain her jade and fat ten fingers, and then turned to Cheng Xing and smiled:

"Young Master Cheng, is this matter entrusted to you by Patriarch Xiao?"

Looking at the greasy smile on Concubine Ya's face, Cheng Xing did not answer immediately, but tasted the tea alone.

My Mitre family has always been known for its reputation, and all customers' order information can only be known to both parties, and there is no second family-type auction house with such a high level of secrecy in the Gama Empire, if this matter spreads, it will be troublesome, not to mention that my experience path ends like this, and the reputation of the entire family may be affected.

Thinking of this, Concubine Ya couldn't sit still, picked up the teacup, poured tea for Cheng Xing, and sat next to Cheng Xing, next to Cheng Xing.

"Young Master Cheng, Concubine Ya will definitely give a satisfactory answer to the nobles in this matter, but it will only take a while." Concubine Ya turned her body sideways, her crescent-like eyes released charming, and with a smile she projected the fatal wounds of a mature woman, and the fragrance on her body became a little more powerful as the distance decreased.

Smelling the body fragrance that came to his face but was not pungent, coupled with close contact with this demon-like gorgeous woman, Cheng Xing's heart began to beat faster.

"Hehe, Miss Yafei, this matter is very important, and my uncle told me to believe in the actions of the Mitre Auction House before finding out the truth." Cheng Xing said with a smile.

The worry between Concubine Ya's eyebrows dissipated a lot, her smile became more beautiful and moving, and she said, "Young Master Cheng can call me Concubine Ya in the future, it seems that Concubine Ya is too delicate to call me in this way." ”

"Sister Yafei, you don't want this matter to be known by others, do you?"

Cheng Xing changed his words, with a mysterious smile on his face, and squinted at Concubine Ya.

"Huh?"

Concubine Ya listened to it, and suddenly lost her face, she had heard rumors in the clan before, saying that auctioneers who had been trained outside often encountered some perverted customers who made things difficult in every possible way, or made some excessive demands, although she had heard of it before, but she never thought that this kind of thing would happen to her today.

There was a nasty guy from the Namu family in the imperial capital before, but I didn't expect to come to this small Utan City, but there was also this annoying thing.

Thinking of this, a touch of sadness appeared on Concubine Ya's face, a weak woman, it is really difficult not to be controlled by others.

Cheng Xing's face was full of banter, he knew the lofty ambitions in Concubine Ya's heart, but if he couldn't even persist in this ordeal, when he returned to the imperial capital, he was afraid that the past few years of training would not make her strong.

Concubine Ya smiled, the sadness on her face only dissipated for a moment, and she asked with a smile: "Young Master Cheng's words, isn't there a threat to Concubine Ya?" ”

Originally, he wanted to tease Concubine Ya, so Cheng Xing continued: "Hehe, Sister Concubine Ya, as far as I know, when you go to Utan City, it should be a training trip, and there are also relevant assessment requirements during the training, right?" ”

Looking at the slightly immature young man in front of him, he calmly said his origin and mission, it was inevitable that it was a little incredible, these things were unknown to others except for a few high-level officials in the Mitre Auction House in Utan City.

"That's right, that's why I'm applying to manage these trade affairs." Concubine Ya suppressed her surprise, tried her best to act indifferent, and then said: "Cheng Xing, if you want to reveal this matter, it will have no effect on me, it is nothing more than a lower assessment level." ”

At this time, whoever wants to have stage fright will be pinched by the other party, and Concubine Ya can answer so calmly, which is a good performance.

Just when Cheng Xing wanted to show his true intentions, a prompt sound quietly sounded in his heart.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations to the host for completing the check-in Yafei quest and activating the reward quest - help Yafei become the gold auctioneer of the Mitre Auction House!] 】

The auctioneers of the Mitre Auction House are actually hierarchical, and they are differentiated according to the price of the items auctioned cumulatively, the higher the level, the more they are cared for by the family's resources, and the higher their status and right to speak.

In the Mitre auction hall, the auctioneers are ranked from low to high, which are bronze, silver, and gold, and each is divided into three sections, with a total of nine levels.

And Concubine Ya, with her proud posture and excellent interpersonal communication, barely managed to achieve the silver medal in the auction hall of Utan City.

This silver medal is also a recent promotion from the bronze medal with a lot of energy.

Although he is now the chief auctioneer of the Mitre Auction House in Utan City, once he leaves Utan City and goes to the auction house in other cities, he still has to arrange the auction according to the three stages of the silver medal.

After Cheng Xing knew the relevant information in his mind, he was also a little surprised, the auctioneer Yafei, who was fanatically sought after by countless people in Utan City, was actually only a silver medal auctioneer in the Mitre auction hall, so how attractive this gold medal auctioneer must be.

"Hehe, Sister Yafei said with a smile, even if you lend me a few more guts, you don't dare to threaten the people of the Mitre family." Cheng Xing grinned.

"And what do you mean?"

Concubine Ya was confused by his string of words, she didn't know the meaning of the young man's words, so she could only ask again.

Cheng Xing coughed lightly, picked up the teacup and drank it all, and then filled the teacup in front of Concubine Ya, and said softly: "I didn't plan to say it so early, but if you investigate this matter, you should be able to find out there." ”

Then he pointed to the Xiao family's uniform, and then said, "I got this uniform from Galeo this morning. ”

"How is that possible! Even if this batch of orders is out of the warehouse in advance, it should be handed over to the Xiao family, how can it appear in the hands of the Galie family. Concubine Ya looked incredulous, frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and the huge rise and fall in her chest released the shock in her heart.

"I don't know why this uniform is in Galeo's hands, so I approached the Mitre auction house to find clues."

"Do you suspect that it was leaked by my Mitre Auction House?" Concubine Ya asked rhetorically, with a hint of questioning in her tone.

Cheng Xing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The ability of the Mitre family to collect intelligence is unmatched in the Gama Empire, not to mention that this batch of uniforms is still related to your textile factory, so I came here today, first, to investigate this matter, and secondly, I want to talk about cooperation with Miss Yafei." ”

After listening to the young man's speech, the wrinkles between Yafei's eyebrows eased slightly.

"I will personally find out the matter, please let Young Master Cheng relax on this." Yafei showed a stiff smile on her face to ease the embarrassment, if this matter reached the ears of the auction house executives, I am afraid that the silver medal auctioneer who was finally promoted would be directly demoted back to the bronze medal.

As for the cooperation mentioned by Cheng Xing, she really couldn't imagine that the Xiao family could have any cooperation, and they would send him to talk to herself, even if it was this uniform order, Xiao Zhan personally came to talk about it, so this made her even more curious about the cooperation mentioned.

"I just don't know, the cooperation in Young Master Cheng's mouth refers to..."

Concubine Ya picked up the teacup, her cherry red lips opened lightly, and the emerald green tea turned into a clear stream, embellished on the pink soft tongue.

"It's very simple, I'll help you become the gold medal auctioneer of the Mitre auction house in Utan City, you just need to do me some favors before you reach the gold medal auctioneer." Cheng Xing said lightly.

"Poof..."

This kind of news made Concubine Ya, who was drinking tea, directly squirt out in one gulp.

Cheng Xing didn't have time to dodge, and was directly splashed by the warm and fragrant tea.

"I'm sorry..."

Knowing that he was out of shape, he hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it for Cheng Xing, from top to bottom, in a panic to wipe the tea with a few stars.

Concubine Ya was eager to help wipe the tea on her clothes, and the whole person was about to stick to Cheng Xing.

Feeling the soft squeezing sensation, Cheng Xing's blood gushed for a while, and his face turned red.

After carefully wiping off the water stains, Concubine Ya straightened up, her ruddy face looked particularly eye-catching, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I'm too excited, so I was rude." ”

The smooth hair like a willow is smooth and the tip of the nose is raised, leaving only a faint fragrance, but it hooks most of the spirit.

It was Cheng Xing in his youth, this temptation was really difficult for him to resist, and his breathing became a little rougher.

"Brother, are you sure you're not joking at your sister?" Concubine Ya lowered her head, there was no charm in her eyes, and she was a little more sincere and firm.

His eyes were like torches, piercing Cheng Xing's eyes directly, making his mind steady.

With a sigh of relief, Cheng Xing stroked his hot cheeks and said, "Of course it's not a joke, so this matter, even if it's the password of the two of us, must not be leaked." ”

After hearing this, Concubine Ya smiled, as if with a hint of contempt, and a little bit of the big sister's spoiling naughty and mischievous brother, her fingers were pointed on Cheng Xing's forehead through the handkerchief, and said: "That sister listens, see what you do, no matter what, this is our little secret, okay." ”

The whispers lingered in Cheng Xing's ears, and the coquettish voice weaved a cradle of gentle township, which made Cheng Xing understand why the characters in Utan City fell under Concubine Ya's pomegranate skirt.

"With this kind of thing."

Cheng Xing shook it casually, and a small jade bottle rolled directly down on the coffee table, swaying towards Concubine Ya.

With the sensitivity of her profession, Concubine Ya quickly stabilized the jade bottle.

The color of this jade bottle is warm and moist, and it is not cold to the hand, but has a little temperature, but it is not slowly held in the hand.

The first time Concubine Yafei came into contact with the jade bottle, she was a little shocked, there was no shortage of objects auctioned in the past, there were jade bottles, but most of them were valuable, and they were all in contact with the imperial capital, this Utan City, she could use this kind of jade material, she had not seen it.

"What is this?" Concubine Ya suppressed her curiosity and asked.

Cheng Xing interlocked his fingers, supported his chin with his thumb, and said lazily: "There should be no faster way to promote than auctioning pills, right?" ”

Concubine Ya clutched the jade bottle in her hand and tried her best to hide the shock in her heart.

Who would dare to think.

A boy who was no more than fifteen years old, with the name of the second waste material in Utan City on his head.

Now, I'm talking to myself about auctioning pills!

After a few breaths, Concubine Ya had a lot of possibilities flashing in her mind, and finally she didn't know how to say it.

"What is this? Pills? ”

"Four pins of pills, gather qi and disperse."

When Concubine Ya heard the three words, her palms began to tremble slightly.

It's like a stinky beggar in tattered clothes, giving you a commercial draft of tens of billions of dollars, saying that he wants to talk to you, the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the municipal government, about the construction of high-speed rail.

Cheng Xing looked at Concubine Ya, whose face was full of disbelief, and chuckled, "You can take it and let Master Gu Ni identify it." ”

The stunned Concubine nodded her head, apparently not recovering from her previous shock.

Watching Concubine Ya leave, Cheng Xing looked up at the ceiling, and his whole body relaxed and collapsed on the seat.

On his body, the most valuable elixir at present is this gathering qi dispersion.

Originally, I wanted to keep it for when I was promoted to fighter, and the attraction of condensing the Douzhi Cyclone was 100% condensed, so that countless people who wanted to become fighters as soon as possible pursued it, thinking about it day and night, and praying for such an elixir.

is reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, there is no ready-made foundation building spirit liquid at the moment, and it is completely a fool's dream to want Concubine Ya to believe that she can refine an elixir that can catch fire.

So take out this Qi Gathering Dispersion, and let Concubine Ya believe that she has this ability for the time being, and the next time she comes, she can directly give the finished foundation building spirit liquid.

In fact, the most important thing is that there is not enough money in the pocket now, and then go to the textile market to copy the gold coin card, the consumption is really unbearable, and there is just this task, so there is this cooperation show.

"The system inquires how much money the silver third-stage auctioneer needs to auction to be promoted to the gold medal."

【Ding】

[In the Mitre Auction House, the promotion speed of the auctioneer is assessed according to the total value of the auction items and the total popularity of the auction house. 】

[The fastest way for a silver auctioneer to be promoted to a gold medal auctioneer: 10 sessions need to be presided over, with 3,000 people per session, and the total price of auction items per session exceeds 1.5 million]

[Or auction a total of 15 million gold coins, regardless of silver medals or three pieces, as long as the above conditions are met, you can be promoted to gold auctioneer!] 】

[The fastest way to promotion needs to be completed within one assessment period, that is, within one year, from the time the silver auctioneer presides over any auction]

In other words, as long as the total value of the items is auctioned within one year, the total value of the auction can be promoted to gold medal auctioneer.

It doesn't seem difficult, but Utan City is only a medium-sized city in the Gama Empire....

The level of consumption in the city is not high, and it is very challenging to complete this task in a year.

"It seems that this foundation building spiritual liquid has to be measured." After Cheng Xing learned that fifteen million gold coins a year, he also sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, now you can exchange the Qi Gathering Dispersion for a large amount of materials for refining the foundation building spiritual liquid, as long as Cheng Xing is given a period of time, he can rely on the system to make a large amount of foundation building spiritual liquid.

Just as Cheng Xing was thinking about how to lay it out, Concubine Ya pushed the door and entered.

After Master Gu Ni's appraisal just now, this pill is a genuine Qi Gathering Dispersion, although Master Gu Ni himself can't refine this grade of pill, but if you want to identify the authenticity, you can still identify it.

Seeing the calm young man in front of her again, a sense of trust suddenly rose in Concubine Ya's heart.

"How is it, Sister Yafei, has Master Gu Ni finished the appraisal?" Cheng Xing got up, looked at Concubine Ya who came with broken steps, and said.

Concubine Ya didn't hide it, and gently put the small jade bottle on the coffee table.

He opened his mouth and said, "Master Gu Ni has no problem identifying the pill, and the medicinal power is so strong that it is difficult for non-high-level alchemists to refine it. ”

"But, Young Master Cheng, you don't seem to be an alchemist."

Concubine Ya's face was full of entanglement and struggle, although she did not mention the owner of this pill to Master Gu Ni, but Master Gu Ni told her that she must have a good relationship with the owner of this pill, no matter what the origin of the pill is, you will be a guest when you open the door.

Cheng Xing was noncommittal, paced around the room, and said after a while: "The family master doesn't want to enter a noisy place like the auction hall, so let me bring the pills." ”

"Tutor?" Concubine Ya muttered in her heart, there are only a handful of alchemists in the Gama Empire who can refine the gathering of qi, and the apprentices collected by those people are all young masters and princesses in the big clan.

Cheng Xing continued: "The family teacher has explained that this time I can't reveal it to anyone except you. ”

Concubine Ya's heart added another question, her status in the family has always been low, among the people who come into contact, the most people who have a better relationship are the royal family and the other two families, but there is no interest that can make people take care of themselves like this!

"Is the old gentleman planning to auction the pills in large quantities?"

Concubine Ya took a deep breath, suppressed the ups and downs in her chest, and asked as smoothly as possible.

You must know that the four-grade elixir of Juqi Dispersion has never been sold in large quantities, and if it is successfully held, I am afraid that an auction will be able to complete its experience and assessment perfectly.

Cheng Xing listened, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, this was the only one he had gathered and dispersed, even if he wanted more, he couldn't take it out.

"Hehe, Master, his old man has recently researched a new elixir, which is of great help to people like me who lack congenital talent." Cheng Xing introduced it with interest, and said it in a similar way: "This elixir can help people under the fighter to cultivate quickly, and there are no side effects. ”

After hearing this, Concubine Ya only felt dizzy in her head, this young man who had only met for a few hours was constantly refreshing his cognitive limits, first knowing so much information, then gathering qi and dispersing, and now it was a kind of spiritual liquid that accelerated the cultivation of Dou Qi and did not have any side effects.

In addition to the shock, more enthusiasm surged to the surface, this level of powerhouse is enough to make the Mitre family pay attention to it, not to mention the current self.

"If that's the case, then I'll arrange publicity in advance and make a big splash first, and then the auction price will rise."

Concubine Ya said enthusiastically, the mature and charming style is being released to the fullest, she is born to be an auctioneer's material, and her methodical rhetoric is easy for people to think along and easy to mobilize the atmosphere.

"As for this coin of Qi Dispersion, it depends on the old gentleman's meaning, if yes, our Mitre auction house also guarantees that we can auction a price that satisfies the old gentleman."

The corners of Cheng Xing's mouth crooked, what is the price that the old gentleman is satisfied with, isn't his satisfaction the old gentleman's satisfaction, anyway, if you can get a batch of foundation building spiritual liquid, the start-up capital will come.

"Auction now, the sooner the better." Cheng Xing said.

Concubine Ya took a look, then carefully took the small jade bottle on the coffee table, and said with a smile on her face: "Then please wait a little for Young Master Cheng, Concubine Ya will arrange... Oh... No, I auction it myself. ”

Seeing Concubine Ya leave the room, Cheng Xing also quickly brought the pen and paper next to him and wrote down the materials needed to build the spiritual liquid, and when Concubine Ya came back, she could buy it directly.

When Concubine Ya returned, there was an extra crystal card painted with the Mitre family crest in her hand, and a purple card all over.

"Young Master Cheng, this crystal card is a VIP card of the Mitre Auction House, and you can enjoy VIP treatment at any Mitre Auction House, and at the same time, the tax rate paid for the auction has been reduced from five percent to two percent; This is the 250,000 gold coins obtained from the auction, and the 240,000 after deducting the tax rate and service charge, all of which are in the card. ”

"Sister Yafei, just call me Cheng Xing in the future."

handed over the list in his hand to Concubine Ya, and said with a smile: "Please also trouble Sister Concubine Ya to help me catch some medicinal herbs according to this list, and the money will be deducted from this card." ”
