Wen Lan was originally not very interested in black market auctions.
But this time he said he would come.
"The princess's formation diagram is very clever. I don't want it to fall into the hands of others. I might as well take a picture of it and take it back to the army for further study."
This is his reason.
"If Uncle Baiyi wants this picture, I can draw it for you again. You don't have to spend so much money to compete with others!" When Yu Jiujiu heard this, she immediately wanted to save money for him.
"I also know that the princess can naturally draw another one for me, but if such an important formation map falls into the hands of other countries, it will be very detrimental to our country, Daxia." Wen Lan said with a smile.
"Ah? If that's the case, I have to work harder. If someone offers a big price, I have to pay for it myself?" A look of pain appeared on Yu Jiujiu's face.
After all, she is the princess of Daxia.
If this formation map really has as high a research value as Wen Lan said, then she would definitely not be allowed to flow into other countries.
But to use your own money to buy the layout plan that you put up for sale seems to be a bit of a loss no matter how you listen to it.
"Don't worry, princess, you don't need to pay for it. I have enough silver with me. If I sell it to the princess, just think of it as investing a sum of money in our Tianji Pavilion." Wen Lan comforted her with a smile.
"Hey, since Uncle Baiyi said so, for the sake of the development and growth of our Tianji Pavilion, I won't refuse!" Yu Jiujiu became happy again when she heard that she didn't have to pay.
Several people were amused by her appearance of being obsessed with money.
"By the way, the princess left the palace today and did not bring Princess Qingbo out. Princess, guess, if Princess Qingbo is in our palace in Daxia, will she get the Guigu formation map, which will appear in the black market auction?
Where's the news?" Chu Hanchen suddenly said from the side.
"I just wanted to know, so I deliberately didn't invite her out of the palace with me!" Yu Jiujiu's eyes flashed like a little fox.
If Princess Qingbo was in the palace of Daxia Kingdom, she could still get news from outside the palace.
Then once this incident is over, she will have to talk to her father about strengthening the palace's defense!
Sitting in the carriage, we drove all the way to the south of the city.
Soon, they arrived at a mansion.
Chu Hanchen stepped forward and knocked on the door rhythmically.
Knocked on the door three times each at different frequencies.
After nine seconds, the door was opened from the inside.
A middle-aged man with a mustache who looked like a butler came out, smiled and said to them, "Welcome some guests, please come in."
Wen Lan took Yu Jiu Jiu's little hand and entered the courtyard.
As soon as she entered, she immediately caught the middle-aged man's attention.
Yu Jiujiu secretly thought that maybe it was because the black market rarely had customers as young as her!
"A few guests, please come inside." The middle-aged man said with a smile on his face and led them towards the courtyard.
Yu Jiujiu followed him, and together with Wen Lan and the others, entered a hanging flower gate, walked along a long and winding corridor for a while, and entered another courtyard.
There is a rockery in the yard.
The sound of gurgling water flows among the rockeries.
Yu Jiujiu followed him to a bamboo forest behind the rockery and discovered that there was a cave inside.
I saw the middle-aged man raise his hand and click on a stone pillar lamp inlaid with beads next to the rockery stone.
Immediately, a dark entrance slowly appeared among the rockeries.
The middle-aged man walked into it first, picked up the torch hanging on the stone wall inside the entrance, lit it, and illuminated the way forward. Then he turned around and smiled at Yujiujiu and the others: "Guests, please follow me.
"
Yu Jiujiu and others filed in.
After they entered, the entrance at the back was sealed again.
Several people followed the middle-aged man all the way inside.
After about one stick of incense, my field of vision suddenly widened and my vision became brighter.
As expected, Yu Jiujiu saw a bustling underground city!
This underground city covers a huge area. Looking at it, it is about as big as a prince's palace!
This was only what she could estimate with her naked eyes.
On the streets on both sides of the underground city, there were vendors wearing masks setting up stalls, selling all kinds of strange things.
Yu Jiujiu saw various weapons such as swords, guns, and halberds that were not allowed to be sold outside and were controlled by the imperial court, as well as various blatant poisons, hidden weapons, disguise masks, etc.
She was a little interested in the disguise mask, so she stopped.
"Little girl, do you want to buy a disguise mask?" The mask seller was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early thirties.
I saw her smiling sweetly at Yu Jiu Jiu.
I don't know whether it was to scare her or to show the magic of her mask, but the beautiful woman took off the beautiful mask on her face in front of Yu Jiu Jiu, revealing a dry old face full of wrinkles.
Now, the beautiful woman turned into an ugly old woman.
However, she obviously underestimated Yu Jiujiu's courage.
Yu Jiujiu was not frightened at all. Instead, he opened his big watery eyes and stared at her face carefully, as if he wanted to study whether her old face was also a mask.
The stall owner couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw how innocent and cute she was.
I saw her raising her hand and tapping her face again, peeling off a piece of face.
This time, she turned into a young girl who was only seventeen or eighteen years old!
"interesting."
A smile appeared on Yu Jiujiu's face. She looked at the stall owner and asked, "Do you have any masks that a kid as big as me can use?"
"That's true." The stall owner also smiled and replied, "However, I can customize one specially for you, little girl. If the little girl wants it, just make a request."
Yu Jiujiu thought for a while and said: "I am going to attend the auction here today. I wonder if this mask can be made before the auction ends?"
"Of course not."
The stall owner shook his head and said seriously, "The production of a disguise mask takes a lot of effort and takes two to three months to make. If high quality is required, it will take a little longer.
"If the little girl really needs it, you can tell me how to contact me. Once I make it, I will send it to the little girl."
When Yu Jiujiu heard this, a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
Two or three months is too long!
"If you want it, miss, just order one." Wen Lan said warmly from the side.
When the stall owner saw that Wen Lan was dressed in a noble and distinguished manner, he was obviously very impressive and had a good status. He actually respectfully addressed the five- or six-year-old baby beside him as "Miss", and he immediately felt a little suspicious of Yu Jiujiu's identity.
curious.
"Okay then! I'll just order one. Maybe I can use it someday?" Yu Jiujiu thought about it, remembering her appearance in her previous life.
I decided to simply customize a face from my past life!
