Chapter 246 Seven Stars in a Series Rich Enemy Country
Starting from Tianyue City, you can reach Tianyue City in about four days by traveling at full speed. This time, there are thirty more guards, and the team becomes more powerful. At least it will be easier to protect and take care of the king.【,
Although Tianxiang Auction House is not a large chain auction house, it is definitely not small! It is well-known in Tianxiang City, and you can even buy some well-known good things here, so it is quite popular.
Only auction houses with such energy dare to auction slaves! Generally speaking, small auction houses dare not auction slaves, even if their origins are clear. Who knows whether there is some backstage behind the slaves that is difficult to offend. If so,
The rise of greed for money will cause unnecessary disasters for oneself, and it will be too late to regret it later.
In the past, there were no auctions where the auction house was full of confidence. As a result, one of the slaves turned out to be a noble. They spent a lot of money to hire a master, which brought disaster to the auction. From then on, everyone took it as a warning. Without considerable strength, it was absolutely impossible.
Slaves cannot be auctioned.
It can be seen that Tianxiang Auction House is quite powerful, otherwise it would never dare to take on such a business casually! And it actually publicized that the slaves were old and young, male and female, the samples were complete and disease-free, and there was a dazzling array of things. It was obviously considered a
A big selling point.
But Zhang Tao, who rushed to Tianxiang City, was filled with murderous intent. If it was really a person from Taixiang Village, Zhang Tao would probably make a big fuss.
The people follow the civilian road, and the officials follow the official road! Zhang Tao and his party easily entered Tianxiang City with Zhang Tao's second-grade warrant, and the guards in the city did not dare to cause any trouble.
In a hotel, the residence of Zhang Tao and others has been properly arranged by Mo Ying, "This is the date of the auction, there are still two days."
Zhang Tao took out the auction order and observed it carefully. In the auction order, the auction items that attract everyone will usually be revealed, so that people can go and buy them. Of course, some of the treasures at the earthquake site and the treasures at the bottom of the box will not be described in detail, but only a few words.
After writing it, it can not only seduce people's curiosity, but also achieve publicity effect. It is definitely killing two birds with one stone.
"As expected, there is a slave auction!" Zhang Tao was a little anxious. The auction had already begun here. If he wasted time here, would other villagers be bought? If so, it might not be so easy to find them.
"What are your plans? Why don't we go in directly?" Du Yun's eyes flashed with cold light. With her character, she just slaughtered the city directly, and then flew away with the people who needed to be saved. Whoever stood in her way would die.
Although Zhang Tao was angry, he still had sense at least, "It can't be like this. It's best not to offend more people. Prepare money and we can buy it back through formal channels. If we can't succeed." Zhang Tao didn't finish his words, but there was something in it.
The meaning is already very clear.
"Why don't you let me come to the auction house?" Lu Qianhao made an exciting proposal. If he did it forcefully, it would be a waste of time. He was originally chasing the convoy, but now if he offends the auction house in Tianxiang City, he will
More troublesome.
But as Lu Qianhao is a master thief, wouldn't it save money and effort if he stole everyone out quietly? "I'm afraid it won't work!" Zhang Tao suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly.
"Why?" Lu Qianhao was stunned. He finally had a chance to show off his talents, but he was not allowed to do so?
Zhang Tao smiled bitterly, "Do you think I don't want you to go? How many slaves are there? Do you plan to steal them all? This will soon make the city full of trouble."
"Hasn't it been discovered by then? If my prediction is correct, there will definitely be strange traces on the slaves, which can only be eliminated after being purchased." Zhang Tao thought of the wooden box he got that year, which had a blood moon on it. The aroma attached to the villa can be found using special means.
Lu Qianhao looked depressed, "What should I do? It really costs money?"
"Let's act according to the opportunity." Zhang Tao said firmly. In fact, the money he brought this time was not much. I'm afraid it would be difficult to buy them all. When the time comes, he would have to resort to some tricks.
Two days later, the Tianxiang auction house started. Zhang Tao kept a low profile when he came here and did not go to meet the city lord. This would only alert others, although Zhang Tao knew that he would inevitably do something criminal for the sake of the people of Taixiang Village. Things, but so what? So what if you are an enemy of the world for your hometown?
Almost two-thirds of today's crowds have poured into the auction, but anyone with certain assets can be admitted. If you want to watch the excitement, I'm sorry, but you should listen outside!
The basic capital is at least 50,000 taels to enter. Zhang Tao has hundreds of thousands taels with him. He can spend a few hundred taels to buy a VIP room and then drink fragrant tea and eat cakes. Why not?
Zhang Tao brought five of the thirty people from Tianwen Mansion out, so that even if he was seen as belonging to a foreign enemy, he would not be an ordinary person with guards around him, and no one would dare to look down upon him casually.
Coupled with the mysterious identities of Du Yun and Mo Ying, Wang Shameihua is all over the country, which makes people speculate about Zhang Tao's identity. Arriving at a VIP room, Qin Huanran and Lu Qianhao sat casually, waiting for the auction to begin.
The auction room is semicircular, and everyone sits quietly below, while the VIP room is on the second floor. Almost the entire second floor is a VIP room.
In addition to ordinary VIP rooms, there are also VIP rooms specially designed for the Tianxiangcheng family, or VIP rooms specially prepared after regular consumption reaches a certain amount.
To bid is to shake a bell. Generally speaking, although everyone will keep a certain amount of silence at the beginning of the auction, the sound of the bell is also very loud. As an auction house, of course, these small details must be taken into account.
Soon, a man came up from below. He shook the silver bell on the stage, and then tapped the table with a small and exquisite hammer. "Tianxiang Auction House welcomes all new and old friends to join us. Of course, we have prepared auction items for you." It will definitely make everyone return home with a full load! This is the reputation of our Tianxiang Auction House and our confidence. Okay! No more nonsense! Let us introduce the first auction item to you!"
Soon, two hot women pushed a wooden cart up, with a complete set of armor parts placed on it! Looking at the surface of the armor, you can tell that the defensive power of this set of armor must be extraordinary. .
"The Feilong armor! It was used personally by He Feilong, a famous general in the former Honghao Kingdom. In addition to its collection value, it also has superb defensive power, is light in weight, has a beautiful appearance, and the meaning of the name is also It's quite perfect. If you put it on, you will be as boundless as a flying dragon in the sky. The starting price is eight hundred taels of silver, and each increase in price must not be less than fifty taels!" the auctioneer said loudly.
Zhang Tao curled his lips and talked very highly, but in the end the price was pitifully low. It is conceivable that this set of flying dragon armor does not have much practical value. As expected, there is nothing to expect from the first item.
Soon, the Feilong armor was bought by a wealthy businessman for a price of one thousand two hundred and fifty taels. After accepting the offer, he continued to focus on the auction stage.
"The second auction item is an exotic flower called: Blood Red Star Leaf! The leaves of this thing are as bright as blood, and the smell is pungent, which is unbearable, but when the leaves of the Blood Red Star Leaf increase to six
Afterwards, the taste will turn into a refreshing fragrance. Mixing this medicine with warm water and soaking it in a tonic can definitely strengthen your body and prolong the time of sexual intercourse. It must be a must-have medicine for all the masters to fight at night and conquer the country, and become invincible." The auctioneer revealed an expression.
The expression on his face that all men understood immediately made many wealthy businessmen in the audience breathe quickly.
This is a rare and wonderful medicine! What about the man in the world who doesn't want to be a concubine every night? When the king heard the introduction of this medicine, his face turned red, and Du Yun spat lightly without saying anything.
Zhang Tao and others did not dare to show any smile in front of Du Yun. They looked upright and did not squint, and there was also a slight disdain in their eyes. They looked like a model of a gentleman and the goal of a Confucian scholar.
"Starting price: 1,900 taels of silver. Each bid increase must not be less than 50 taels." In fact, the auctioneer still had something to say. Blood-red star leaves are indeed hard-won, and many wealthy men will buy them privately.
Unfortunately, there is no market for it, so it is rare to see the six-leaf blood-red star leaf, and everyone starts to snatch it.
In the end, it was sold for a sky-high price of more than 6,000 taels of silver. Seeing that the two items he auctioned were selling well, the auctioneer also had a smile on his face, "Here is the third auction item."
The second piece has already whetted the appetite of many men. What will happen to the third piece? Everyone is looking forward to it, "The Star Sword!" At this time, the auctioneer took out a gorgeous sword with various inlays on it.
Such a gem is so dazzling and dazzling that it stands out from the crowd and attracts everyone's attention, just like the brightest star in the dark night.
"This sword is from the hands of a famous master. It is made with fine workmanship and is expensive. The gems on it alone are priceless. But this is not the point. The most important thing is that this sword is associated with a legend! Everyone must know it.
"Isn't this an allusion to the seven-star chain of rich and enemy countries?" The auctioneer successfully aroused everyone's curiosity.
"Seven stars in a row enrich the enemy country? What does it mean?" Zhang Tao really didn't know this allusion.
Qin Huanran said at the side, "It is said that when there were no four major chambers of commerce, a wealthy businessman named Qian Datong was extremely wealthy and could rival the country. In the end, his end was approaching, but he had no successors. In the end, he ended up with
Money can make all the difference, so he hired seven different famous swordsmiths to build seven or eight swords for him! And they were all named after stars. It was rumored that there was a treasure map hidden in each sword.
After collecting seven copies, you can get his treasure and become a rich man with unparalleled wealth."
After hearing this, Zhang Tao suddenly realized, "This is interesting."
"What? Do you want to buy it?" Qin Huanran was very surprised.
