The 'head-breaking' between Daxuan and Dali has finally come to an end, and the time for the Four Kingdoms Competition is getting closer.
People from the Academy of Arts have already prepared in advance the works that will be competed in the competition. The Calligraphy and Literature Society is busy constructing the story; the Music and Music Academy is thinking about composing new songs; the Chess and Literature Society is busy playing chess together to accumulate combat experience;
Painting practitioners will go out to collect styles and seek inspiration...
While others were busy competing, Su Pingan was busy...shopping.
"Brother Su, do we really not need to prepare in advance?"
Xiao Fuzi followed Su Pingan, so he would naturally do whatever Su Pingan did. Seeing others working hard for the competition, he was making salted fish with Brother Su, and he always felt that there was something wrong with doing so.
, but I feel inexplicably happy.
Wang Shaotong was also there next to him. He hugged Xiao Fuzi and said with a smile, "What are you preparing for? With Su's ability, do you still need to prepare?"
Xiaofuzi: "What about the two of us?"
Wang Shaotong puffed up his chest, "We are competing in chess. In chess, apart from the two of us who can play a game, do you think there is anyone who can help us? And there is something going on between the two of us.
We have already killed 800 times on the way, and each of our chess moves is clear. No matter how much we continue to kill, it will still be the same, so we might as well relax and wait until the competition starts, then take it easy when the time comes. That might be better!"
Su Pingan also smiled and nodded beside him. Seeing this, Xiao Fuzi didn't say anything more.
There is a slight difference between watching Da Zhan during the day and watching Da Zhan at night. At night, most of them are young masters and young ladies, just for fun and fun; during the day, they are more busy, there are fewer people on the streets, and most people are not busy making money.
I am just busy doing business. In short, the business atmosphere is very strong.
When Su Pingan and others passed by Wenbaozhai, there was actually a group of people gathered here. Because the last activity of selecting Wenbao was very impressive, so when they saw this place, whether it was Su Pingan, Wang Shaotong, or Xiao Fuzi,
, all three of them showed interest.
"I don't know what they are doing here, let's go and have a look!"
Su Ping'an said something, and Wang Shaotong and Xiao Fuzi happily walked over.
In front of Wenbaozhai, the stall owner is still dressed in a brocade robe, dressed as a merchant, and always has a smile on his face. At this moment, he is clasping his fists and introducing himself: "Dear guests from the south and north, my surname is Cheng, Tianqi City.
Everyone who knows me, please call me Boss Cheng. I believe that most of the people gathered here at this time must be foreign literary cultivators..."
As soon as these words came out, someone asked: "Hey, how can you be so sure that everyone here is from outside?"
The people around him immediately started shouting, "That's right, boss, tell me why?"
Boss Cheng explained with a smile: "Didn't I just say that Tianqi City knows that everyone here calls me 'Boss Cheng', and unfortunately, Wenbaozhai, who is here, is somewhat famous in Tianqi City, so I know
I have a lot of people, and the people who know me are usually old friends in our store, so they usually don't get together here if they have nothing to do.
Another reason is that the people of Da Zhan have already seen some of the scenery in Tianqi City better than their own backyards. Only the literary cultivators who have come from afar want to see more of the different customs and customs of Da Zhan.
, that’s why everyone comes out to go shopping.”
After listening to Boss Cheng's narration, everyone suddenly realized, "So this is it..."
"That makes sense."
"Boss, what are you going to do here today? I was at the event you held at the night market last time. Is there any other interesting event today?"
Boss Cheng smiled and waved his hands when he heard this: "No, no... We Wenbao Zhai will not hold activities today, but we want to inform everyone of good news. That is, there will be an unprecedentedly grand Wenbao auction in our Wenbao Trading House tomorrow.
Yes, our stationery store has spent a lot of money on this auction. We have collected some precious calligraphy stickers, famous calligraphy and paintings, handed down music scores... in short, everything is available.
There are also countless rare flowers and plants, rare treasures, corpses of demon cultivators, inner elixirs and other rare treasures, and as the finale treasure, it is said to be a rare quasi-sacred weapon..."
As soon as the last words came out, there were a lot of exclamations from all around.
"What, there are quasi-sacred weapons?!"
"Oh my god, this is too generous."
"If you ask me to say that quasi-sacred artifacts are nothing, what's strange is that even treasures like quasi-sacred artifacts are put up for auction. Isn't this the behavior of a prodigal?!"
"That makes sense."
Everyone was also very confused.
After all, it is not a Wenshi Wenbao, nor a Wenwang Wenbao, but a quasi-sacred artifact. Once the time comes, if the inscription of heaven and earth is engraved on it, it will be a new sacred artifact.
For something like this, not to mention small literary cultivators like them, even big figures like King Wen and Yasheng would definitely be moved by it.
The boss of Wenbaozhai also explained, saying: "Everyone, please don't misunderstand. This quasi-sacred weapon was not sold by someone who wasted money, but by a literary cultivator who was slaying demons in the sea.
, an object accidentally found in the sea. This quasi-sacred object was buried at the bottom of the sea for too long and lost a lot of its spirituality. The literary cultivator did not recognize it, so he sold it to our Wenbao Trading Company. Our trading firm
After it was identified, we spent a lot of effort to repair this quasi-sacred artifact. After the repair, our firm originally wanted to keep this quasi-sacred artifact as a store treasure, but then I thought about it, such a powerful thing.
It would be a pity if the quasi-sacred artifact was left in our store and became an ornamental object.
Therefore, our Chamber of Commerce adheres to the principle that treasures should be kept by those who are virtuous, so we reluctantly took out this quasi-sacred artifact and planned to auction it this time. Therefore, if you are interested, you must not miss it. If you miss it,
This time, I’m afraid you may not have such a good opportunity to own a quasi-sacred weapon again in your life!”
Boss Cheng's words were very seductive. Under his narration, many literary cultivators around him had their eyes lit up and started gearing up.
"It's a quasi-sacred weapon. Even if you can't get it, it's worth going to see it!"
"No, with our level of cultivation, we don't even know how long it will take to cultivate a Wenzong cultural treasure, let alone a quasi-sacred weapon."
"If I had a quasi-sacred weapon in my hand, my strength would be comparable to the Wenzong realm!"
"Shut up, you, a scribe, also want to control a quasi-sacred weapon, I'm not afraid of sucking you dry!"
Behind the crowd, Su Ping'an and others were surprised when they heard this. Su Ping'an frowned and said: "I didn't expect that this Wen Bao Zhai would even have quasi-sacred weapons. It seems that there is quite a lot of background behind this Wen Bao Zhai."
ah!"
While he was thinking about Wenbaozhai, Wang Shaotong beside him became interested in the auction. Then he poked Su Ping'an and said, "Ping'an, there's a lot of excitement again. How about we go to the auction tomorrow to have a look?"
.”
The eyes of Xiao Fuzi beside him were also bright, and it could be seen that he also wanted to take a look at the excitement.
Seeing this, Su Ping'an couldn't help but smile and said: "It's not impossible to go to the auction to have a look, but it just feels a bit stupid to be slaughtered like a pig."
When Wang Shaotong heard this, he tilted his head and asked doubtfully: "Being slaughtered as a pig? What do you mean?"
Su Pingan explained: "This is not simple, isn't it? The auction is such a high-end occasion, and the boss is standing here to promote us, don't you think it's a bit embarrassing?!
If you look at the people around here, how many of them are really willing to spend a lot of money to actually bid, so the boss is promoting here, firstly, it must be to spread the news about the auction, and secondly, he is also casting a wide net to attract people.
Rich people from out of town.
Of course, they will definitely not let go of some idle cultivators from out of town, but they just don’t know what methods they will use to defraud these people out of their money.
In short, this auction is just a pig-killing plate, where people from out of town are treated like leeks, so the boss doesn't care who the people around here are, as long as someone spends money for them.
And the most important point is, you said that this auction will not be held sooner or later, why will it be held tomorrow?"
Wang Shaotong was shocked by Su Pingan's analysis. He didn't expect that it was just an auction, but there were so many twists and turns in it.
But after listening to Su Pingan's words, he subconsciously became alert and asked, "Yes, why is this?"
At this time, Xiao Fuzi, who had been running in Qingfeng Restaurant all year round, suddenly had an idea flash in his mind and said: "I know, just this morning, I just heard the news that the delegation from the Gale Kingdom just arrived at Tianqi City early this morning.
Brother Su, do you mean to say that Wenbaozhai deliberately held this auction after waiting for the rest of us from the Three Kingdoms Mission to arrive, so their real customers are actually us?!"
"That's right!"
Su Ping'an snapped his fingers, and then said with a smile: "The reason why the Wenbao Chamber of Commerce is so grand and stands on the street to promote the auction is that their real targets are our Daxuan Kingdom, Dafeng Kingdom and Dali Kingdom.
The missions of the three countries, because only we, the missions of the three countries, have such financial resources to purchase things from their firms.
And the things they want to auction will definitely be of interest to our three countries.
That’s why I said, I don’t want to be slaughtered like a pig.”
After Wang Shaotong listened to such an analysis, he was completely convinced, and he repeatedly raised his hands to Su Ping'an, "Gao, you are the one who saw things thoroughly. Su actually analyzed the tricks of the Chamber of Commerce in just a few words."
,sharp!"
Then he looked at Xiao Fuzi again, and said with some surprise: "You can do it, too, Xiao Fuzi. You can actually see the secrets here. It seems that you have not been in vain since you left Daming Mansion and came to Shendu. Your vision has improved."
It’s improved a lot!”
Xiao Fuzi scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "No, I just saw too many people in the store, so it suddenly occurred to me that Brother Su is the most powerful."
Su Ping'an shook his head and smiled: "How about it, now that you two understand what the auction is about, do you still want to go to the auction?"
Wang Shaotong said: "Go, why don't you go? Now that we understand that the auction is for us, then we just go and have a look. As long as we don't participate in the bidding, it's fine. I don't believe they can take advantage of us."
The money was snatched away from my hand.
Besides, don’t you want to go and see such a lively thing?”
Su Ping'an was speechless when Wang Shaotong asked him this question, and then he smiled dumbly.
Yes, even though he knew this was a 'pig killing', Su Ping'an still wanted to take a look. After all, it is human nature to join in the fun.
Moreover, he was also quite interested in the quasi-sacred weapon.
…
The next day, the weather was fine and the wind was gentle.
Early in the morning, Su Ping'an, Wang Shaotong and Xiao Fuzi finished their breakfast slowly, changed their clothes, and prepared to leave for Wenbao Trading Company, intending to experience the auction of Da Zhan.
Just when the three of them were about to go out, Long Cheng, Guan Feng, Feng Shaoyang and Wen Liang, among others, who had been staying in the house to retreat, unexpectedly went out for a rare occasion.
Several people met at once at the gate.
Su Ping'an looked at Long Cheng, Wen Liang and the others in surprise, pointed at them and said, "You... want to go out?"
Guan Feng immediately flicked the bangs in front of his forehead and said coquettishly: "Of course. It is said that there is a grand auction in this city today. As the eldest son of the Guan family of the Daxuan Kingdom, I naturally want to go and see it.
By the way, I can buy some gifts to give to my family. Why, don’t you know the news?"
"I……"
"Oh, that's right. When Mr. Zhanzhu came to inform you yesterday, you guys seemed to be away. But it doesn't matter. Even if you are here, it doesn't make sense. After all, with your worth, you probably can't afford to take pictures of things there. It's obvious.
, this kind of auction event is specially designed for people like me."
After saying this, Guan Feng looked like "I am a rich man", raised his head and chest in an extremely coquettish manner, and took the lead to walk out the door. Wang Shaotong and Xiao Fuzi opened their mouths wide when they saw this scene. After a while,
Said: "This should be the kind of stupid pig that Wenbao Trading Company likes the most."
Su Ping'an smiled dumbly. In addition to laughing at Guan Feng for being as arrogant as ever, he also laughed at the people of Zhan State who did everything they could to make money and actually let the officials inform them of the news.
In their hotel, it seems that Wenbao Trading Company will not give up until it makes a big profit from this auction.
What’s rare is that Guan Feng can actually use this as a fork, he is also a ‘talent’!
"Okay, let's go. Otherwise, we might run into those people from Dali Country again later. Yesterday, I watched Master Zhu leave our side and then go straight to the next door. Those people from Dali Country will definitely
He won’t be idle either!”
Wen Liang urged at the end, and Su Ping'an suddenly understood after hearing this, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Sure enough, our family is not the only one who is regarded as a 'pig', the bunch of wretches from the Dali Country have not escaped either..."
For a moment, Su Ping'an felt a lot more balanced.
