Chapter 174: Jealousy
For a while, the audience was silent.
Liu Muqing still had a faint smile on his face, but his heart was already nervous, the Royal Highness of the Great Prince in front of him was like a wild beast, and his eyes were staring at him like two sharp swords, and he couldn't help but be careless.
"Boom!"
The eldest prince's face was full of frost, and he took a sharp step forward, and suddenly a surging and majestic momentum rolled in, as if a sharp spear wanted to pierce the sky, and the indomitable momentum was simply like thousands of cavalry surging, and the thunder rumbled and was irresistible, making people feel uncontrollably trembling.
"What are you talking about?, can you say it again!" The eldest prince stared at Liu Muqing and said coldly.
"Brother Huang, it's a bit out of grace to do this!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, and then he felt a neutral and peaceful momentum suddenly blocked in front of Liu Muqing, blocking all the domineering aura exuded by the eldest prince.
The eldest prince didn't turn his head, as if he knew who the person behind him was, but said lightly: "Fourth brother, do you want to stand up for him?"
I saw a figure coming suddenly, and the next moment a man in white who looked like a scholar appeared in front of everyone, with a faint smile on his face, and an indescribable comfortable feeling on his body, he looked back at Liu Muqing, nodded to him slightly, and then looked at the eldest prince and said.
"Brother Huang, Zi Yan is a person who belongs to my side, so his husband is naturally also my person, if you want to move my person, I'm afraid you have to discuss it with me!"
The person who suddenly appeared was not someone else, it was the four princes that Mo Ziyan was attached to, and he was also one of the most powerful princes today.
The strength of the fourth prince is also extraordinary, even better than the big prince, and there is a strong Confucian flavor in him, although he seems to be weak, but he is also upright and unbending, and he is also like a merry and talented man, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
"Hmph, I haven't seen you for a few years, but the fourth brother's tone has become quite small, let me see if you have grown over the years!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the eldest prince fall from his horse, and hit the fourth prince with a punch.
The four princes didn't dare to slack off, their faces were cold, and they put away the folding fan with a 'snap', and a faint aura floated out of their bodies, and they pointed at the fist of the eldest prince with a wave of the fan, but there was no fear at all.
"Click!"
The hammer-like fist collided with the fragile folding fan, but it didn't make a loud sound, only a soft crunch, like a dead branch breaking.
The two of them also stopped at the point, and quickly stopped as soon as the voice sounded, and after glancing at each other, they didn't say much, but there was a strong fear in their eyes.
Although this temptation seemed inconspicuous, everyone present could feel the power of it, and also understood that the strength of these two princes was absolutely extraordinary, and some people with a heart were even more pondering, and after a while, they turned around and went out to report to their masters.
"Fourth brother, it seems that you haven't abandoned your studies over the years, Zhuziyuan is a good place!"
"Big brother too, the training in the military has made you more domineering!"
The two glanced at each other again, but they didn't say anything more, and left with their own people, but the eldest prince glanced at Liu Muqing deeply when he left, and the threat couldn't be more obvious.
From the duel just now, they both understand the strength of both sides, and no one can help anyone at this moment, if they really fight, it will be other princes who are waiting for the benefit of the fisherman.
The fourth prince glanced at Liu Muqing behind him, then looked at Mo Ziyan and said, "Come with me!"
In a simple and elegant room, Liu Muqing sat quietly on a futon, and there was a ball of green bamboo shaking next to him, as if he had developed spirituality, and was mischievously teasing him with its branches and leaves.
"Xiaoqing, don't be naughty!"
The fourth prince glanced at the green bamboo, scolded softly, and then sat down slowly, and asked Mo Ziyan beside him: "In order to get rid of my eldest brother, is it really good to do this? This is an obstacle to your reputation, if you ...... in the future?"
Mo Ziyan was silent, picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly, and then suddenly smiled and said: "What's the use of my reputation, the Mo family has reached the verge of extinction, and one day it will disappear completely, rather than being like this, it is better to settle it early, and it is better for future generations to suffer this kind of suffering!"
After hearing this, the four princes couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook their heads and said no more. The Mo family itself is a very powerful family, stronger than any of the seven palaces and twelve realms, they uphold the laws of Great Xia, as long as the Great Xia Kingdom is not destroyed, then the people in this punishment path will not disappear, but now because of the withering of personnel, it is impossible to continue to inherit, which makes people sigh.
"Forget it, let's not mention this matter for the time being, let's introduce this Taoist friend of yours to me, I can suffer such an injustice for you, and the relationship with you is also unusual!" The fourth prince raised his head slightly and looked at Liu Muqing.
Mo Ziyan couldn't help laughing, and said to Liu Muqing: "Brother Liu, this time it's the little sister, you just got out of one whirlpool and entered another whirlpool, if you have time, the little sister should make amends to you personally!"
Liu Muqing smiled and waved his hand, slowly put down the spiritual tea, and said to him: "Since I have promised you, what else is there to regret, in the final analysis, I still have to face a prince, maybe this is cause and effect!"
The fourth prince couldn't help but be surprised, and asked out loud, and Mo Ziyan immediately told him how Liu Muqing met the nineteenth prince, which made him feel very interesting.
"This fellow Daoist, your luck is really not an ordinary back, it's better to go into retreat for a period of time as you said, so that you may be able to turn evil into good fortune!"
Liu Muqing smiled casually and said, "What the fourth prince said is that after this incident, I am going to close the cave mansion and retreat for eight years, in preparation for the Great Competition of the Four Domains after these eight years!"
"Oh, I didn't expect that Daoist friends would also be interested in participating in this Four Domains Competition?" asked the Fourth Prince, with a smile on his face.
Liu Muqing was secretly strange in his heart, feeling that there was something wrong with this person's expression. However, he still said: "Naturally, I want to try, so that I can see the young talents in these four domains, so that I can learn from each other's strengths and make my cultivation to a higher level!"
The four princes laughed directly, and said: "I think Liu Daoyou still doesn't know the rules of the Four Domains Competition, if he knows it, I'm afraid he won't say so, and the Four Domains Competition may be killed!"
"Fourth Highness, you don't need to scare Brother Liu, his cultivation can only enter the first and second rounds at best, and the next few rounds will inevitably be eliminated, how can his life be in danger!" Mo Ziyan couldn't help but say.
Liu Muqing couldn't help but feel gloomy in his heart, daring to love that even Mo Ziyan looked down on herself, could it be that her methods were so unbearable that it was unconvincing. But think about it, compared to the two royal palaces he saw today, his methods are indeed a little inadequate, and it is no wonder that Mo Ziyan can't look up to him.
The fourth prince smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's boring, forget it, the auction is about to start, let's see what good things are there this time!"
After speaking, as soon as the four princes raised their hands, the bamboo curtains around them slowly rose, revealing the lively scenery outside.
On the round high platform, a fat and quite rich young man walked up slowly, he looked around, and then said loudly: "Welcome to the Jade Pearl Auction Pavilion again, this time the auction will be presided over by the next, the contemptible surname is Wu, you can call me Wu Fatty, rest assured that I will not be angry!"
In an instant, everyone around couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere was also set off, so that everyone's eyes were focused on this fat man.
"It seems that my opening remarks are not bad, although they are not as sensational as Mingshan Jushi back then, but I am satisfied if I can have such an effect, I don't talk nonsense, please look at the first auction item today!"
Wu Fatzi's performance is very good, his body and expression are very lively, but in Liu Muqing's eyes, there is a hint of dullness, for the new human beings in the new century, this situation has long been common, and it can't arouse his interest at all, or he has long been numb.
The fourth prince looked at Liu Mu Aokiran's face, and secretly felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't point it out, but he secretly paid attention to it in his heart. He had an intuition, feeling that although this person's cultivation was not high, and his means were not very good, he had a very threatening feeling, and this feeling was only experienced when he met the eldest prince, but now it appeared in this kid who had just entered the Ning Dan stage, how could he not let him pay attention.
"Everyone, please see, this is a thousand-year-old black ginseng, now that the aura of the cultivation realm has declined, the thousand-year-old elixir is no longer hard to find, so it is becoming more and more difficult to refine the superb elixir, so the value of this thousand-year-old black cucumber can be imagined, this auction price is positioned as ten high-grade spirit stones, and each price increase shall not be less than one high-grade spirit stone, everyone can start!"
Liu Muqing couldn't help but look at the fat man in surprise, and his heart was secretly speechless. This place is indeed a high-grade auction place, but the first auction item will have such a high price, and each increase in price must not be less than one high-grade spirit stone, you must know that this high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, which is a few years of accumulation for many casual cultivators.
"Twelve!"
"Thirteen!"
“......”
The bidding of the people below for this item was still very enthusiastic at the beginning, after all, for them, they couldn't bid for the real haode baby, and only those people above had the financial resources to buy those things, so they set their sights on the auction items in front.
"Twenty bucks!"
Just when everyone was accumulating one by one, someone suddenly increased the price of three spirit stones at a time, directly soaring the auction price to a high price of twenty yuan, such a move couldn't help but make many people have the heart to retreat, but Liu Muqing, who was sitting upstairs, could also see clearly that the person who bid was Duo Yan of Xinglinfang.
At this moment, he couldn't help but suddenly remember what Duo Yan said at the time, and then carefully felt the token in his storage bag, sure enough, there were many people in this auction room who belonged to the Alliance, and he also found a very strange phenomenon, that is, no matter which member of the Alliance was bidding, the other members would not continue to bid, unless this person stopped bidding, and others could continue to bid.
"Is this bid-rigging?"
Liu Muqing looked around, and couldn't help but think secretly in his heart, although he was still uncertain, but from the bottom of his heart, he already had seven or eight points of affirmation, after all, the founder of this organization was the guy from Mingshan, he could do everything, and this kind of thing would naturally be implemented.
When Duo Yan shouted out twenty spirit stones, the others immediately fell silent, and Liu Muqing, who was sitting on it, also clearly felt that Duo Yan was communicating with other people with his eyes, which meant words like thanks.
"Twenty high-grade spirit stones, for the first time?"
"The second time?"
"The third time, smack!"
Wu Fatzi smashed the price, and then said to everyone with a slightly excited tone: "Congratulations to that Taoist friend for obtaining this thousand-year-old black cucumber, and please pay the bill backstage after the auction is over!"
Although the value of this elixir is extraordinary, but after all, it is the first auction item, so the price will not be too outrageous, although the price of the auction of twenty spirit stones is different from the expectation of the auction pavilion, but it is not a loss, it can only be said that the income is less, but they can't imagine that there are people around their bid below.
Fat Wu cleared his throat, and then waved his hand, and saw something floating in the sky, only to see a beautiful female cultivator wearing a neon dress and feather robe falling from the sky, like a fairy in the dust, very extraordinary, and there are countless flashes of spiritual light around it, which sets it off even more refined.
"Dear female friends, this magic weapon is called Purple Feather Phoenix Clothes, from the hands of the famous Master Mei, taken from the painting pen of Mingshan monks, it is a rare treasure with both offense and defense, a total of 9981 prohibitions, after refining, it can be transformed into thousands, avoiding water and fire, fixing wind and sand, and resisting the enemy and thousands of miles away......"
I have to say that this Wu fat man is a very eloquent guy, as soon as this treasure robe came out, he began to praise endlessly, as if he did not blow it in the sky and the earth, and the gods and mortals would not give up, his mouth really seemed to be able to say that the dead were alive and the living were dead.
Obviously, as a super fan of Mingshan Jushi, Mo Ziyan was bound to get this purple feather phoenix robe, and when she had just quoted the low price of fifty high-grade spirit stones, she couldn't wait to bid sixty high-grade spirit stones, and directly killed the people below.
"Ah, the guests in the No. 4 private room have come out with sixty high-grade spirit stones, you are really a person who knows the goods, I am sure that you are definitely a loyal admirer of Mingshan Monks, and there is no one in the entire auction who loves Mingshan Monks more than you!" When Wu Fatzi heard that Mo Ziyan's price had risen to sixty high-grade spirit stones, he instantly became excited, and said loudly, so that the entire auction hall could hear it clearly.
Liu Muqing couldn't help frowning, stared at this guy and said secretly: "Isn't this deliberately sowing discord, even if you want to sell this magic robe, don't say so, don't you say so, isn't it clear that those female cultivators who love Mingshan monks will fight to the death, if not, you have to persuade Zi Yan." ”
Sure enough, after Wu Fatzi said this, he heard a voice in another box: "Sixty spirit stones is a lot?
"Eighty dollars!" Soon another nun from the other direction bid.
"Ninety pieces!"
"One hundred!"
"One hundred and twenty pieces!"
Mo Ziyan trembled with anger, she couldn't help but shout out the high price of one hundred and twelve yuan, and her eyes stared straight at the purple feather phoenix robe, as if the dress already belonged to her.
Liu Muqing looked at it and couldn't help but say: "Zi Yan, your price increase like this is a bit more than worth the loss, although that magic robe is extraordinary, but it will be a bit of a loss if you add it more, don't fall into the trap of the auction, they just want you people to fight around, they can sit and reap the benefits of the fishermen!"
Mo Ziyan's face was cold, and her eyes never left the dress, and she said: "I know, but no matter what, I must not lose to that guy Mu Qingqing, this magic robe can be given to anyone, and it must not be given to her!"
"Mu Qingqing, your sister?"
Liu Muqing chewed the name in his mouth for a while, couldn't help but look at the fourth prince, and asked out loud. In this entire imperial capital, the one who can be surnamed Mu, and the most famous is none other than the Mu family, the royal family of the Great Xia Kingdom.
The fourth prince couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook the folding fan and nodded in acquiescence.
Although Liu Muqing didn't know what was going on, he didn't want Zi Yan to continue to break the bank because of this, he thought about it, and suddenly shouted: "One hundred and thirty yuan!"
As soon as this cry sounded, the women who were crazy about raising the price couldn't help but stop. Until now, no male cultivator has ever made a bid for this dress, and now such a person suddenly appeared, which couldn't help but surprise everyone, and they couldn't help but focus their eyes on the fourth box.
Mo Ziyan looked at him in surprise, not understanding that he would suddenly make a bid, but he saw Liu Muqing continue with a smile: "Everyone, this robe was bought and prepared to be given to his wife Mo Ziyan, please forgive me!"
In a word, it immediately made everyone below burst into flames, this news was only circulating on the second floor just now, and now Liu Muqing said this, which is equivalent to admitting this matter to everyone, you can imagine the sensational effect.
In another box, a lazy female voice immediately sounded: "It turns out that Zi Yan's sister already has a sweetheart, so dare to be kind, let this dress be given to you, but after Mingshan returns to the imperial capital, you can't fight with me anymore, otherwise I'll go tell your husband!"
As soon as these words came out, even if Liu Muqing's skin was thick enough, he couldn't help but turn red, and Mo Ziyan was even more anxious and angry, wanting to refute it, but she didn't know where to start, and she didn't dare to look at Liu Muqing's eyes, her face was red, and there seemed to be a deer in her chest.
Wu Fatzi looked at it, and knew that it was impossible for anyone to increase the price of this robe, so he smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then congratulations ......"
"Slow, I'll give out one hundred and fifty spirit stones!"
