According to Zhu Zijian's visual inspection, the ship she boarded was about 21.8 meters in length and 8 meters wide in the middle of the hull. It could be said to be the largest ship in Lan Kingdom.
Usually, most sea-going ships transport horse gear, currency, daily necessities, etc.
And “The Su family has been engaged in the business of shipping ships since their ancestors, and relied on this business to become a wealthy merchant in the Lan Kingdom.
It is rumored that the Su family also supervises the shipping business of Lan State together with Lan State's Maritime Supervisory Office, with the support of the imperial court behind it.
But the Su family dared to build a palace privately. If such lawless behavior was discovered, the whole family would be punished.
But they didn't shy away from holding the auction and invited so many people. Now it's not just one eyeliner, it's countless eyes watching.
How dare the Su family!
The backers behind this are very powerful, so they dare to fight against the Lan Kingdom court...
Zhu Zijian looked seriously as he looked up at the palace, which was about four stories high. The walls of the palace were shining with golden light, giving people a strong aura of wealth and luxury.
In this atmosphere of extreme luxury and enjoyment, anything can happen.
While she was still looking around, a man wearing a golden mask slowly approached her.
The visitor was dressed in black, holding a fan in his hand, walking slowly and saying something very leisurely.
"meet again."
Zhuzi Jian narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the uninvited guest.
Even though he was wearing a mask and couldn't recognize his appearance, he could still tell who it was from his voice.
"Mu Lin, you are following me." Zhu Zijian said calmly.
The determined tone made Mu Lin laugh out loud, and he was indeed guessed.
He said quite proudly: "You have to thank me. If I hadn't been helping you, do you think you could have entered this auction?"
"Why are you helping me?" Zhu Zijian asked.
"Because...because..." Mu Lin pretended to be polite and said intermittently, "because..."
Zhuzi Jian ignored him and moved his steps, preparing to turn around and leave.
Mu Lin hurriedly stopped her and sighed: "Why are you so impatient? But do you really want to know why I want to help you?"
Zhu Zijian glanced at him sideways and continued walking.
"Then tell me first, why are you here?" Mu Lin asked, "Do you have any tasks that must be completed here?"
"Why did I tell you?" Zhu Zijian asked calmly.
"I can help you! I know this place well!" Mu Lin patted his chest proudly.
"No need." Zhu Zijian calmly turned and left.
"Okay, if you want to know why I helped you, it's not impossible." Mu Lin mysteriously said in Zhu Zijian's ear: "But I can't say it now, I will tell you later."
There was no change in Zhu Zijian's expression, and she stared at Mu Lin.
You can't listen to me who is trying to sell things off.
At this time, a bright copper bell sounded suddenly, reverberating in the closed space.
All the people walking around in the cabin stayed where they were and looked up into the sky. They saw a red figure descending from the sky on a red brocade cloth, and landed softly and slowly on the top of the hard mountain of the palace.
Looking from a distance is a woman wearing a golden mask, with a soft and graceful figure and an elegant posture.
"This woman is not simple." Mu Lin whispered quietly, "She is known as Golden Face Furong. It is said that she is not from the Su family, but an expert invited by the Su family."
"Expert?"
Zhu Zijian took another look at Jin-faced Furong. She was taller and slimmer than the other women. Apart from these, it was not clear how tall she was.
"Everyone, please wait. The auction is about to begin. Please come first and take a seat in the palace." The golden-faced hibiscus nodded slightly, then flew up, landed in front of the palace door, and entered the palace first.
At this time, the quiet atmosphere became lively again, and everyone walked towards the palace.
"Follow me." Mu Lin said quickly to Zhu Zijian, and then followed the crowd into the palace.
Zhu Zijian hesitated for a moment and then followed.
Since Mu Lin has a way to get her to sneak into the auction, maybe as he said, he has skills in the auction.
Then, there will be more hope of finding Huier's whereabouts.
Entering the palace, there is a circular floor surrounded on all sides, which is slightly thicker than the palace walls that shine with golden light.
There are a total of thirty columns in the hall, ten load-bearing pillars made of giant golden nanmu stand on both sides of the hall, and the remaining twenty are evenly distributed in the center of the hall.
On the stage in the center of the hall are two huge mangrove potted plants, about two meters high, with green leaves extending outward in an oval shape and a wide wedge-shaped base. From a distance, they look like two giant turtles curling their bodies into a ball.
"Do you feel that the interior design of this palace does not look like the traditional architecture of Yuehua Continent?" Mu Lin asked with squinted eyes.
Zhu Zijian nodded, "It certainly doesn't look like it."
Moreover, she also saw some carvings and some characters on the columns. She had never seen these patterns before, and the characters were not common in Yuehua Continent.
"Did you notice anything strange? But what did you see?" Seeing Zhu Zijian's silence, Mu Lin asked again.
"Quiet" Zhu Zijian only replied with two words indifferently.
Mu Lin was a little dissatisfied and curled his lips slightly, "You and I are both wearing golden masks. You will come with me to the third floor later."
"You don't seem to be on guard against me at all?" Zhu Zijian said in a deep voice, "Didn't You Cheng warn you that it's better not to offend the people in Xuanyang Palace?"
"Lord Heishi, of course I know that it is better not to mess with people like you, but who put me in trouble now, and the mission failed miserably, so I can only ask for your help." Mu Lin couldn't help but sigh,
"It's only my bad luck that I received such a tragic mission."
"Do you want to know what the mission is?" Mu Lin immediately changed his tone and whispered, "As long as you go upstairs with me, I will tell you. I will also help you find the maid, how about a good deal?"
Zhu Zijian looked at Mu Lin coldly, and only said one thing in his heart.
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
Mu Lin was too enthusiastic about her and even made money-losing business.
I don’t know what secrets are hidden behind this...
Mu Lin saw that Zhu Zijian was silent and not in a hurry. He smiled and said: "As long as I shout that you are an assassin, more than a hundred secret guards in the entire cabin will appear immediately and surround you. Don't blame me.
I didn’t remind you that the defense mechanism arranged by this sea ship is comparable to the palace machine skills of Xuanyang Palace. Even if you are a black assassin of Xuanyang Palace, if you want to avoid the assassination of the secret guards and safely evade the mechanism,
It’s getting harder and harder.”
"So, you are threatening me?" Zhu Zijian smiled coldly. This chapter has been completed!
