Spanning three neighborhoods, the venue was once a slum and was bought by the Tempo Chamber of Commerce for a large price and converted into a venue for the Tempo auction.

The fan-shaped eight-story staircase enters the seats for buyers who come to participate in the auction, and the private rooms on the ninth floor are reserved for VIPs, and the big families such as the Feng family and the Gong family, as well as the elders of the Heavenly King Road, enter it early, waiting for the auction to begin.

In three days, nine auctions of different quality will be held, and the number of buyers is around 100,000 every year, attracting not only people from Yanliang Prefecture, but also many visitors from Xishui Prefecture, who rush here three months in advance in order to find the treasures they can take advantage of.

From weapons to drawings, even slaves and beauties, they will appear on the ten-zhang long booth for people to choose, and all buyers will sit in different layers of seats according to the capital they bring, which is convenient for the seller's management.

Steward Li held his arms and watched coldly from the backstage, and invited more than 100 martial arts masters to press the scene today, but there was still some throbbing in his heart.

It has long been rumored that the Feng family wants to take action against the Gong family and take advantage of the caravan's transportation routes, and just this morning, the Feng family mobilized the whole city to gather in the streets and alleys around the auction, I don't know what it means.

In the VIP room where the Gong family is located, there is a person sitting in the center, about twenty-five years old, with bright eyebrows and bright teeth, short hair and spirit, wearing a gold silk soft cotton robe, stepping on a thousand layers of auspicious cloud boots, about eight feet high, sitting still and faintly imposing.

On the side of the coffee table beside the young man, sitting Gong Lichun, the contemporary patriarch of the Gong family, rubbed a string of Buddhist beads in his hands, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Twenty-five years ago, Gong Lichun's son was judged by a famous doctor to be born weak and cold, and after he could not live to be three years old, the family elders found a way back and brought a baby boy named Gong Che, who was called Gong Qing's younger brother and raised him, so that he could inherit the great cause in the future.

At that time, it doesn't really matter who will be the patriarch, there are elders who control all matters, and there will be no storms and waves.

Gong Lichun felt very uncomfortable, after all, it was his own flesh and blood, when he was excluded by the family, he couldn't do anything, and he didn't bring Gong Qing here today, but Gong Che was sitting next to him.

This kid is good everywhere, but he is impatient and ruthless, and he is so decisive in handling many things that even Gong Lichun is afraid.

Let such a person be the patriarch, and the Gong family is afraid that there will be no peace. The main goal of coming here today is to get a weapon for Gong Che.

When he was eight years old, he suddenly fell from the sky and accepted Gong Che as an apprentice, and now Gong Che is already a great master of the eightfold realm of the earth, except for the core members of the Gong family, he doesn't know, it is a hole card of the Gong family.

The Gong family has few martial arts practices, many good literature, and their ancestors have produced several university scholars and accumulated tens of thousands of family fortunes, which has gained a firm foothold in Yanliang Prefecture, and the lack of martial arts is the weakness of the Gong family.

Now that the next head of the family is both civil and military, it is no wonder that the elders have such hope and do their best to train him to become a talent.

As everyone knows, outside the field, his brother walked out of the carriage, and his complexion changed greatly after the cold was removed, and his friends who were familiar with him in the past didn't recognize Gong Qing, but he still stepped forward to say hello after seeing Qing'er.

Liu Xiaoyi opened his eyes, and revealed the face of the villager who had never seen anything, staring around with wide eyes, and no sound could be heard in his ears for the time being.

There are those who are heroic with swords on their backs, those who are rich and graceful and smiling to welcome people, those who walk away with grimaces, and those who are upright and indifferent, all of which converge into another scenery outside the auction hall.

During the day, most of the auctions were ordinary goods, the prices were relatively low, and the Tianbao auction house allowed private exchanges, and these buyers simply set up stalls in front of the door and openly sold them.

can pay, more is bartering, Liu Xiaoyi slowly moved along the stall, those novel things are really eye-opening.

Swords, guns, swords, and halberds are low-level commodities, and there are more elixirs, scarce jewelry, and even a lot of treasure maps and magic weapons sold by cultivators.

The quality of the goods is uneven, and the personnel are mixed, and most of the drawings are fakes, drawn by some unscrupulous merchants, and can often defraud a lot of money.

Suddenly felt a pain in her left ear, Liu Xiaoyi came back to her senses and found that Meng Qiaoqiao was pulling her ear and dragging it to the side.

"Be a little bit of a tall person, don't make it like a dirt bun!"

It turned out that he had unconsciously gone in the wrong direction, and Gong Qingzheng was standing at the entrance talking to several other sons.

Relying on the auction venue, there are many temporary stalls nearby to buy and sell food, and even the inn has sent men to stand on the street to pull people, shouting one after another.

"Then I'll take the lead and see what kind of treasures are available today. Gong Qing said goodbye, his actions did not attract the attention of outsiders, and went straight to the seventh row and sat down.

The financial resources he has accumulated over the years by connoisseurship are comparable to those of the middle family, so it is no wonder that the two of them can choose their favorite auction items at will.

The wooden sign at the head of the row is engraved with the words 100,000, which refers to the price of 100,000 taels of gold to be seated, except for a few of them, there are only a few people on the seats.

The first day was all a little bit of a fuss, nothing good, and the big-bodied buyers usually waited for the last one.

"Don't care about money, I Gong Qing doesn't have anything else, and I have money left. ”

In this environment, Gong Qing is like a fish in water, feeling very comfortable, and with the recovery of his body, it is even more enjoyable.

The presiding over the auction, all young girls, wearing high-slit cheongsam, the beautiful lines are undoubtedly revealed, in the cold winter, the auction hall is as warm as spring, and girls with thin clothes can be seen everywhere.

Colored and bold people, salivating and embarrassed, when they are laughed at, they have to say: "The true colors of men, why not!"

"This morning's auction is a weapon, as we all know......"

Listening to the re-popularization of the weapon base, Liu Xiaoyi began to doze off, he was like a mirror in his heart, the ultimate purpose of explaining these was actually to raise the price.

In Liu Xiaoyi's contemplative cultivation for most of the day, the sellers in the front row were red-faced, and they could hear the sound of fighting as soon as they went out.

"Don't plan to buy something?" Young Master Gong said that you can pick and choose. "Meng Qiaoqiao has never practiced any weapons, but he also bought two short daggers, inlaid with various colored gems, and the price is a hundred taels of snowflake silver.

"I'm not interested, it's not a good blade, at least it's stronger than my Ice Sword. Liu Xiaoyi patted the sword on his back, his two swords were not ordinary soldiers, and his vision was naturally higher.

Gong Qing was puzzled, and embarrassed to ask, after a whole day, Liu Xiaoyi didn't raise his eyelids, as if he came here to sleep.

At the end of the night, the Gong family in the VIP room walked out of the aisle, and coincidentally walked sideways with Gong Qing, Gong Lichun was shocked, although his son's appearance has changed, he can still recognize him!

"Qing'er?" Gong Lichun was incredulous, the young man in front of him swept away his sickly state, straightened his waist and looked at each other, "What's the matter with you?"

Gong Qing was helpless, the last person he wanted to see was his weak father, the humble ferryman sandwiched between the family and the family, "Father, it's me." ”

The accompanying elders also saw it in their eyes, and they had mixed feelings in their hearts, what they were thinking, Gong Qing couldn't understand it better.

"It's really my son! You see it's really my son Gong Qing!" Gong Lichun turned around a little hysterically and roared at the elders, attracting everyone's attention.

The elders played a round and walked to the street, the night was already dark, the people's homes had closed for rest, only the scattered restaurants were still open, there was no curfew in Seven Star City, and the business at night was okay.

Feeling Gong Che's strange eyes, Gong Qing understood that trouble was finally coming, and his younger brother always regarded himself as a thorn in his side, even if he was a waste of firewood, his younger brother did not completely let down his guard against him.

At this time, Gong Che showed an expression that was not surprising, hidden behind the elders, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Father, I still have something to do, I'll talk about it when I get back. Gong Qing saw the other party's feeling of constipation, which was the same expression when facing the elders on the night of his mother's death.

Gong Lichun wanted to say something more, but watched Gong Qing go all the way from the avenue with his entourage.

"Your father is the patriarch, so there are a lot of things, and I think about my father too...... I'm so busy, it's the Master who cares about me. ”

Eating supper, Meng Qiaoqiao spoke indistinctly, at this time, she didn't care about the image of her predecessors, and devoured it.

Gong Qing drank the stuffy wine, sighed, he has no power, he has been sick all these years, no one wants to be with him at all, "Gong Che will definitely attack me, this kid really hasn't changed at all." ”

The maid Qing'er on the side couldn't help crying, she was recruited to accompany Gong Qing when she was seven years old, the two fell in love for a long time, and they were afraid that the elders would blame, so she felt very uncomfortable.

"Then you two will elope! Hey, hey, hey, the book I gave you, you have learned enough to protect yourself, and no one dares to bully you. Meng Qiaoqiao gulped down the seafood soup and gave him advice.

Liu Xiaoyi didn't eat, not because he wasn't hungry, but at noon, he took advantage of the break in the auction to go out for snacks and hold on.

I slept a lot during the day, but now I am energetic, stretching my waist, and I turned my head to catch a glimpse of four people sitting at a table in the corner, all of whom covered their faces with hats, and bowed their heads to drink tea.

In the middle of the night, when I was drinking tea, I looked to the other side, and there were two more people dressed in tight clothes, with short knives pinned to their waists.

The two sides formed an angle to set up their table in the middle, and there was a looming murderous aura overflowing, and many customers who wanted to enter the store stopped and retreated.

"It's not interesting to just eat more vegetables, I'll show you a trick. Liu Xiaoyi's hands condensed the frost in his coat pockets and crushed it hard.

Without waiting for the six people to react, the sword qi came to the front, and the white mist spread to the entire layer, and the vision within the range was blocked, and it was impossible to see what was happening.

Meng Qiaoqiao comprehended, and the talisman flew out to protect Gong Qing and Qing'er, "Don't move, there are a lot of people who come to kill you!"
