Queen Chongmu's mask belongs to the second prince, so it would be good if someone bids for it. If there are princes and princesses asking for the price, then there is nothing to play with. It's better to just take it away.

Besides, the Ninth Princess relied on her favor and never put other princes in her eyes except the Crown Prince. Today, the Second Prince was secretly happy to be able to defeat her.

Zhou Yang naturally didn't know the internal affairs of the palace, so he looked up at the old auctioneer, meaning that no one was bidding, why are you still standing there!

The old man wiped his hands, bowed to the second prince, and then said in a trembling voice: "Nine, ninety-nine bids 400,000, plus a stunning beauty. Is there anyone else who bids? This, this belongs to Queen Chongmu.

The mask is still an ancient openwork object. If you miss it today, you will never have the chance again. Is there anyone who wants to bid?"

The old man was a little embarrassed when he spoke, and when he introduced the value of the mask again later, he felt unsure.

The price is many times more than the mask itself. No matter how rich you are, you can’t waste it like this!

Besides, there is a stunning beauty. According to the current price, it would cost at least 100,000 to 80,000 yuan.

As a result, the price of this mask will be around 500,000 taels.

You know, five hundred thousand taels of silver can buy hundreds of thousands of stones of grain in Jin Chengguo!

This guy threw out this much money without blinking an eye, so his background must be quite impressive. But which big shot's young master is he?

The old man was a little distracted. Zhou Yang had already become impatient, so he said coldly: "There are no more bids, why don't you make a final decision?"

"Oh, oh." The old man was awakened, looked at the front row again, and said with a grimace: "Four hundred thousand taels of silver plus a stunning beauty, the first time, the second time, the third time, the third time...oh,

Deal done! Please go to the back hall on the 99th to collect the treasure and pay the money."

Zhou Yang stood up and walked to the back hall calmly.

"Now let's move on to the second auction item. This item also comes from the royal family, please take a look!" The old man on the stage calmed down a little and started the auction process again.

Zhou Yang turned around and glanced casually. In the tray held by the girl was a bright red stone.

"bloodstone!"

"No, it's the best chicken blood stone!" Everyone in the audience recognized the object at a glance.

Bloodstone is also a rare item in the secular world, and is generally used for seal engraving or other decorations.

The best quality bloodstone is even more difficult to find. It was originally something that some literati and elegant guests were chasing, but now it is gradually becoming popular among the upper class society.

Zhou Yang has no interest in these worldly things at all, and he doesn't even have much interest in this auction. His main purpose is to find out the origin of the so-called Yaxian Master.

He didn't notice it from the auction house, so he happened to go to the back hall to take a look at it.

Led by a young eunuch, Zhou Yang walked back slowly.

The so-called apse is also part of this temporary palace, but it is just one room isolated.

The guards in the apse are extremely tight. There are neatly arranged boxes in the hall. In the boxes are various treasures prepared for auction.

At this time, a large group of golden-armored guards surrounded these boxes.

There is a square table directly in front of the box. Behind the table sits an old eunuch. He is leisurely sipping fragrant tea. Judging from his clothing, he must be the head eunuch.

Behind the old eunuch stood two young eunuchs, bowing and waiting, waiting for orders at any time.

There is also a golden-armored guard on the left and right sides of the square table. However, their helmets and jade belts around their waists are different from other golden-armored guards. They should be the leaders of these golden-armored guards, and their rank is slightly higher than that of Deputy Manager Li.

Lower.

When the old eunuch heard the footsteps, he slowly raised his head and said in a sharp voice: "The first treasure was photographed so quickly?"

"Yes, Mr. Superintendent." The young eunuch who was in charge of leading the way walked to the square table and bowed deeply to the old eunuch before speaking. He leaned close to him and whispered a few words, and then bowed again.

Turned around and left.

Zhou Yang smiled and secretly thought that he had made a mistake. This old eunuch was not a petty boss, but the chief eunuch in the palace.

"Show your jade card." The old eunuch's shrill voice came again.

Zhou Yang handed over the sign.

"Oh, No. 99, please give me your last name!"

"Zhou Yang."

"From where?"

"Yuntian County."

"Is there anyone in the family who is an official?"

"No."

"No? Then who gave you the jade auction plaque?"

"Deputy General Li of the Ouchi Guards."

"Oh, since it was introduced by that boy Li Hong, then this jade plaque also belongs to him?"

"Exactly." We can no longer use the banner of the third prince here, as that will easily lead to gangsters.

I'm not afraid of Zhou Yang, but I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that there was no big problem with this person's origin, the chief eunuch changed the subject and said, "Little brother, do you know who is interested in this mask?"

"Is the manager talking about bidding with me?"

"good."

"I heard it's the Ninth Princess and Fu Ma."

"Oh, do you know that the ninth princess is the most favored daughter of the current emperor? Do you also know that the ninth princess is the general of the dynasty?"

"You'll understand after listening to the manager."

"Then you still want to compete for this thing?" The old eunuch pointed at the mask in the tray.

“I’ve taken all the photos below, so there’s no reason not to take them!”

"You are so brave, little brother! But I would like to remind you that if you want to live a good life in Jin Chengguo, you must give this mask to the Ninth Princess and apologize to the Ninth Princess and her husband in person, otherwise..." the old eunuch said

The threat is very serious.

At this time, the two leaders of the Golden Armored Guards, one on the left and one on the right, also took two steps forward, and a murderous aura rushed towards their faces.

"Oh, what else?" Zhou Yang heard this, put his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

"How!" The old eunuch was dumbfounded. This boy really didn't understand or was just pretending to be confused. He looked like the old god was here. He really didn't know how to write the word "death".

"Of course there is no place to die without a burial!" the old eunuch's voice became even shriller.

"Death without a burial place? Haha, for a mere mask, the majestic Ninth Princess and the current general are going to kill people and silence them. They are not so shallow, right? If this matter is spread out, how will the royal family lose face?

Well, where is the prestige of the royal family?" Zhou Yang sneered.

"Good boy, you are so bold and arrogant. You are unparalleled in ancient times and modern times. Come here, tie me up!" The old eunuch was extremely angry. He had never seen such a ignorant person in his whole life. His face immediately became confused.

Change and give orders in a sharp voice.

"Yes." As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding golden-armored guards cheered and surrounded Zhou Yang.

"Huh! Is this what the royal family does?" Zhou Yang said sarcastically without changing his expression.

"Who knew that I would kill you here? Boy, I am kind to the manager. I would like to advise you again, do you want to give up this thing?"

"The manager's ears don't work very well. Now that I've taken the photo, why should I give up?"

"Okay, okay, if there is a road to heaven, don't take it. If there is no door to hell, just throw it in. Let me take it!"

Several golden-armored guards swarmed forward and reached out to grab Zhou Yang.

But he didn't move even half a step, he just shook his shoulders, and the two people who had rushed to grab him were thrown away with great force, and they stepped back a few steps, almost bumping into other guards.

"You are still a practicing master, come together!" The leader of the guards on the outside ordered decisively.

The guards all slashed at Zhou Yang with their swords. Zhou Yang passed between the two guards in a flash and hit one of them on the wrist.

The next moment, the guard's waist knife appeared in his hand, and he slashed with his backhand. The back of the knife hit another guard, who was immediately knocked to the ground.

From the beginning to the end, Zhou Yang was strolling leisurely, leaving the circle of guards in just one breath.

Everyone's weapons fell into disarray, but the people were nowhere to be seen.

In the next breath, Zhou Yang had already arrived in front of the old eunuch who was in charge. The sharp blade flashed and was placed on his neck. The blade swayed slightly again, and a wisp of blood seeped out.

The old eunuch felt his eyes blurred, his neck felt cold, and the burning pain spread throughout his body.

The breath of death hit, and the old eunuch's legs softened in fear, and he collapsed directly to the ground, his face turned pale for an instant.

The eunuch in charge, who had been bossing around just now, fell to the ground like a dead dog. Even the surrounding golden-armored guards were stunned.

Seeing that Zhou Yang had captured the steward, the two guard leaders were anxious. If the gentleman made a mistake, it would be fine, both of them would have to move their heads. So, one on the left and one on the right, each holding a long sword, they wanted to pounce on Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang picked up the old eunuch and said coldly, "If you don't want to die, order everyone to leave, otherwise..."

"Stop, stop!" The old eunuch was already frightened out of his mind, but after Zhou Yang picked him up, he woke up and spoke in a trembling voice.

The two guard leaders stopped when they heard this, but they still had their swords in their hands and hesitated to step forward.

"Tell them to put away their weapons!"

"Quickly, put it away quickly!" The old eunuch now had some strength and screamed.

"This..." After a slight hesitation, the two guard leaders sheathed their swords, but their expressions were extremely ugly.

The other guards also put away their swords, but they were still on full alert.

Zhou Yang took out four golden tickets and a scroll from his arms, put them on the table, picked up the mask in a hurry, and put it into his arms after a moment of greeting.

"I heard that there is a Yaxian Master in the palace. Where is he?" Zhou Yang finished all this calmly and turned to ask the old eunuch.

"Master Yaxian! This..." The old eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then he hesitated.

"Yeah!" Zhou Yang's eyes widened, the sword flashed, and another stream of blood flowed down the old eunuch's neck.

"My dear, spare your life, my dear, I say, I say!" The old eunuch was so angry that he almost collapsed to the ground again, and said hurriedly: "Master Yaxian, here, in the Chengxian Palace."

"Where is the Chengxian Palace?"

"Behind Chongming Palace."

"What palace is it? Do you have a map of the palace?" Zhou Yang simply stopped asking. He didn't know even if he asked, so he might as well just follow the map.
