Changan.

South of the city.

Silk rhyme is slow, and the maiko quietly enters the account.

At night at the mouth of the alley in the south of the city, like a woke beast, it opened its golden pupils and burst out the desire that had been silent for a long time.

Intoxicated in the night, mad, with long tentacles deep into the body, binding people's bodies, absorbing the reason within.

Silk Rhyme Building.

Dozens of carved beams and painted shutters, brightly lit, candlelight flickering, the window edge engraved with exquisite patterns, stealing the window paper, faintly slender figure reflected.

Silk Yun Lou is a casino and restaurant specially opened for wealthy businessmen. At night, when business is booming, the streets are deserted, but the buildings are bustling with laughter, clinking glasses, and the laughter of men and women. All kinds of rivers and lakes and markets gather here.

Han Luyao slowly put on a cyan veil in the room, with a bright jade chain on his forehead, a seductive arc at the corner of his eyes, and a burst of dazzling beauty under the blurred candlelight.

She straightened up and applied her makeup carefully in front of the bronze mirror, and more than a dozen dazzling jade pendants hung from her Western-style long skirt, overlapping each other and making a soft sound.

In her hand, there was a heavy red box, and inside it lay a thick stack of silver bills. In another half an hour, the auction in the Silk Yun Building should ring the bell.

After finishing the makeup, she slowly got up, picked up the red box in her hand, faced the bronze mirror, and turned around.

In the mirror, Han Luyao's white back was engraved with several clear and hideous scars, which gently wrinkled with the seductive arc of her body.

Han Luyao picked up a snow-white cloak and put it on the jade shoulder, covering all the scars.

The door slowly opened with a dull creak.

Han Luyao wore tall silk and bamboo boots on his feet, embellished with shiny ornaments, revealing his fair-skinned and emaciated instep and tiny bead-like toes. The slender calves are hidden under the robes of the Western Regions, revealing a plump and charming arc.

A maid who was also dressed in the Western Regions was waiting outside the door, and when she saw Han Luyao, she lowered her head and saluted deeply.

Han Luyao looked at the maid and asked, "Is the matter done?"

The maid lowered her head and whispered: "Back to the princess, the token has been put into the caravan, presumably by now, it should have been sent into the Qi Mansion." ”

"Hmm. Han Luyao replied simply.

In front of her is the fence on the second floor of the Silk Yun Building, from which you can look down and have a panoramic view of the lobby downstairs.

The lobby on the first floor of the Silk Yun Building is a restaurant during the day, and in the middle of the night, it becomes a casino with staggered palace rewards. Hundreds of bright lanterns lit up the entire lobby in every corner. The ground is paved with blue jade stone unique to the Western Regions, which looks a little dazzling under the light of the lights. People gathered around the gambling tables, shouting and screaming laughter, and the dice and gambling bowls collided together, bustling and lively.

On the second floor are dozens of luxurious rooms, where many wealthy businessmen stay overnight. On the third floor, it is the fastest place to consume silver in the whole building, the monthly auction of the Silk Yun Building, attracting all kinds of people from all over the world, dignitaries, court officials, people in the rivers and lakes, the officials of Qi also attach great importance to this, a valuable auction item can add a lot of taxes to Chang'an. As a result, Siyun Building can be regarded as a place outside the law in the true sense, and only silver has the final say.

Han Luyao's deep eyes gently swept over the lobby, and without stopping, he turned his head and walked towards the third floor.

The auction starts at noon, and the hour is approaching.

The maid behind her bowed humbly to her, and no one noticed that she had made a bow.

Noon.

The crisp sound of the gong came from the third floor, and the people downstairs couldn't help but look up.

Under the gaze of everyone, the red curtain on the third floor was slowly opened, layer upon layer, across the entire floor, dozens of meters long.

The jade on the vermilion curtain shook gently, each of which was worth a lot of money, intertwined like vast stars. It was as if people were going to be dazzled. Such a luxurious scene can rarely be seen even in the imperial palace hall with gold and jade glazed tiles. Merchants from other places have long heard the extravagance of Chang'an City, and when they see it today, they still can't help but exhale.

Behind the red curtain, a large seat wrapped in a crimson brocade mat was revealed. There was a tall man sitting on it, his whole body was wrapped in thick gold silk and jade brocade, shaking so much that people couldn't open their eyes, as if the gods had descended to earth.

"Prince of Qi Kingdom!"

Someone in the lobby recognized the man's identity at a glance and exclaimed.

It was as if the pot had exploded, and there were voices of talk and exclamation. Subsequently, under the deterrence of such light, many people knelt down in front of the man and saluted.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

There was a lot of panic in the chaotic voice, and the excitement in the lobby slowly subsided with his appearance.

Han Luyao was walking to the center of the corridor pavilion on the third floor, and through the thick red curtain, he saw the prince of Qi from a distance, and his eyebrows were slightly skimmed.

Qi An, the crown prince of Qi State, leaned lazily on his seat, his face was a little bloated, his eyes revealed inviolable arrogance, and he coldly glanced at the crowd below.

There were many maids from the Western Regions standing beside him, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, slender figures, wearing green gauze fabrics, like fairies in the sky.

Han Lu looked at Qi An from afar, his brows furrowed.

"With such a big show, how could he be here......? Qi Guo has already learned the news in advance?"

Han Luyao muttered, although some royal dignitaries of the Qi Kingdom would also be present at every auction, but at this time, Qi An's appearance made her feel a little uneasy.

As the curtain was slowly opened, many seats were revealed in front of everyone's eyes.

Those who can have special seats on the third floor are either some prominent royal princes, or the rich and noble. According to the rules of the auction, those who have a seat on the third floor will have a chance to pay a fixed price for the entire auction, while others are not allowed to increase the price. This rule is also designed specifically for the authorities of those countries.

Han Luyao's purpose of coming to Siyun Building was originally inevitable, but now that there is a variable of Qi'an, she can only wait and see what happens.

The rest of the seats were filled with some high-class celebrities from various countries, gathered together, and the people in the lobby raised their heads, their eyes showed a lot of envy, and the discussion was endless.

Han Luyao and the crowd hid on the side of the corridor pavilion on the third floor, waiting for the auction to begin.

A graceful maid from the Western Regions walked to Qi An's side, leaned over, leaned in and whispered, "Your Highness, can you start?"

Qi An slowly turned his head to look at the maid, the corners of his mouth raised, he approached the maid's face, exhaled, and said with a smile: "Did you see my brother coming?"

The maid didn't dare to make a sound, and squeezed out a smile and said, "Back to Your Highness, the humble girl has not received the news from Lord Qi. ”

"No?" Qi An chuckled and said, "I made a decree before I came, why didn't you report it?"

"Back to ...... Your Highness. The maid was a little overwhelmed and said, "The maid has already informed the people below...... I reported it to the Qi Mansion...... It's just that somehow ......"

In the distance, Han Lu Yao hid in the crowd on the third floor, looking towards the other seats. In the nearest seat sat a man dressed in plain clothes, and behind him stood several burly retinues.

Han Luyao recognized that it was an official of the Great Moon Kingdom, who came from the far north and came to Chang'an in civilian clothes.

She hid a trace of hatred from her chest and remained silent.

The auction has started under the eagerness of everyone, and there have always been no vulgar things to be auctioned in the Silk Yun Building, which can be regarded as an eye-opener for ordinary people.

Two rows of delicate maids stepped out of the cloister on the third floor, each holding a small and small box, which contained priceless auction items.

The first maid walked up to the center of the terrace on the third floor, appearing under the gaze of everyone, and the box in her hand touched everyone's urgent hearts.

The box slowly opened, revealing a turquoise pill on the white tray.

The host of the auction was a short, stocky dwarf with a very loud voice. He jumped to the maid's feet and shouted: "The Qi Dan refined by the Shixuan Pavilion of the Wei Kingdom for a hundred years has strong qi and blood, nourishes the body and promotes longevity, and can also beautify and nourish the skin, ladies and gentlemen, at present, hundreds of schools of thought in the rivers and lakes are still arguing about refining medicine......

The dwarf was still roaring and shouting, and Han Luyao heard several people from the Great Moon Kingdom next to him whispering.

"It's been a long time, and a blue ball can be taken out to the court. ”

"These broken things are all passed on to the evil, let those old guys spread ten or ten hundreds, waiting for those God of Wealth to open the money belt. ”

"I reckon that thing hasn't served its plate yet. ”

Several of the attendants let out a malicious laugh, and the master in front of them did not react, but just took the wine glass on the table in front of him and drank it down.
