As soon as the price of 32,000 taels was announced, the huge auction field was quiet, and many people thought they had listened to the left.
Although Xijiang was surging, most of the locals didn't notice it. Most of the wealthy businessmen sitting here were worth less than 30,000 taels. Naturally, they were caught off guard by this figure.
But there were also those who came back to their senses sensitively and gave up the bidding decisively. Businessmen value profits, but it also depends on the situation. They are all good people, so they can naturally understand the situation.
Such an item, even if you buy it with all your belongings, you can't protect it, and you might lose your life because of it, the gain outweighs the loss.
not worth it!
Let the gods in the private room above fight, and they will wait and see other things.
Think of it as going out to watch the fun and open your eyes.
But the people in the upper row of private rooms were all shocked by this number, and no one made a sound for a long time.
It wasn't until the people from the auction house below asked with blushing faces that the sound of bidding came from the private room opposite Tang Zhuozhuo.
"Forty-five thousand taels!"
The king of Nanping stood in the private room terribly, it was just a broken sword stained with the blood of barbarians in Mobei, how could it be worth such a high price? !
If it was usual, he would think that such a sword had a strong fishy smell in front of him, but now he would spend half of his family's fortune to buy it. The feeling in his heart is unspeakable, his maroon face is faintly blue, even Zhu Lu is ruthless. Frowning, he said, "Father, what does His Highness mean? Have you also taken a fancy to this sword?"
It would be fine if he asked this question as usual, but at this time, King Nanping was so depressed that he couldn't vent his anger, and he became angry when he saw him, and almost cursed out loud.
"Idiot! How many people here today are not here for this sword? Do you think the prince is here to buy a bottle of pills for health and tea? Why do I have such a stupid descendant like you?!" King Nanping When it came to the end, he sighed heavily, and felt that the future of the palace was very worrying.
Zhu Lu didn't feel anything when he was used to being scolded. He just frowned and asked doubts in his heart, "Is this sword really so important? The emperor just mentioned it casually, maybe he didn't take it seriously."
These words are not without reason, the emperor's emotions are invisible, true and false, false and false, true and false, and what they really like is often unpredictable. Why would they go to war just because of such a sentence, and even traveled thousands of miles to Xijiang
Zhu Lu couldn't understand it.
Nanping Wang grabbed the teacup on the side and drank a few sips, then pointed at the most inconspicuous corner diagonally opposite and sneered: "The emperor mentioned it again and again, and it is such a critical juncture. Who doesn't understand what it means? It is precious only because it bears the will of Marquis Mobei, this is about to cause war again!"
Zhu Lu suddenly opened his eyes wide. His voice was suddenly dry and hoarse, and he said, "Then...then what are you doing with this sword?"
Going to the battlefield
"It's just to show the emperor the position and determination of my Nanping Palace. In recent years, His Majesty has been neglecting us more and more."
King Nanping's eyes were a little deep, and then he sighed: "Take this sword and ask the emperor to go to Mobei. Even if I die, the palace will be safe and prosperous for the rest of my life. If I don't allow it, at least I will leave a good impression on Your Majesty."
Zhu Luhuo stood up and lost his voice: "You want to ask for an order to fight?"
Nanping Wang glanced at him quietly, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, there will be no chaos today."
There are constant frictions between Mobei and the barbarians, but they are all small fights, and listening to the news from the front, the royal family of Mobei still intends to marry, and this battle cannot be fought.
It is precisely because of this that this sword must be obtained.
What a great opportunity to show loyalty without risk.
At this moment, Zhu Lu regained his composure, and looked towards the smallest private room in the direction of King Nanping's finger, and asked, "The people here have never shown their faces from the beginning to the end, so what does the king see?"
King Nanping sneered, looked at Zhu Lu with knives in his eyes, stroked his sleeve robe, and said, "Who else could it be except your good brother Wang Yi?"
Without even thinking about it, Zhu Lu retorted subconsciously: "Impossible, Wang Yi has been dismissed from his position in the court, and his marriage with the second daughter of Ningyuan Hou's mansion is about to come, how could he come to Xijiang?"
King Nanping withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the private room directly opposite them, and snorted coldly, "If you contact these cronies again, I will break your leg."
Zhu Lu frowned fiercely, and before he could speak, he was stopped by the King of Nanping, and he said: "Wang Yi, together with the general's family, has joined the Sixth Prince's faction, and now that the official has returned to his original post, this time he is here to be the Sixth Prince Here comes the errand."
He turned around and patted Zhu Lu's shoulder meaningfully: "If he really treats you as a brother, why don't you hear a single word of it?"
"Our palace is standing in the prince's camp. I don't need to explain too much about the conflict between the prince and the sixth prince, right?"
Zhu Lu's complexion was difficult to discern, and after a while his eyes flickered and he nodded.
Which is more important, he can naturally tell.
It's just that I still don't really believe it in my heart. After all, it's just Nanping Wang's one-sided words, and it's not a matter of a day that he doesn't like Wang Yi.
Seeing his expression, King Nanping finally felt a little relieved and sighed inwardly.
At this time, Tang Zhuozhuo also heard the price offered by the Nanping Palace, laughed happily for a moment, and touched a piece of cold jade, the water head of the jade is so good that it is not ordinary.
Huo Qiu's eyes that were originally closed slowly opened, his voice was hoarse and uncontrollable, he brushed a strand of black hair by her ear, and whispered behind her snow-white ear: "Jiaojiao is so restless, could it be?" Do you really think I dare not touch you here?"
The more this woman plays, the more she looks at her face, and the more she indulges, the more she loses her peace and tranquility. No one can help being tossed about by her appearance.
In front of me is her lively and charming appearance, full of beauty, but what is rushing in my mind is the night when the candlelight is gone, the woman's icy muscles and bones, black hair loose as ink, and slender waist. Just thinking about it makes a man breathe I suffocated for a moment.
Tang Zhuozhao twitched his eyes, smiled suddenly, stared at the man's handsome face for a long time, and then hooked the man's cold and sharp jaw almost provocatively, "Your Highness strictly abides by etiquette, and absolutely cannot do such a thing Come."
Her smug little appearance became more and more attractive, and she kept praising him, but she was actually warning him to guard the prince's face, and he would not mess around in such a situation.
His Highness the Crown Prince, who was flattered and teased in secret, curled his lips, his eyes were as dark as ink, and he couldn't even notice the scene of competing to raise the price outside. If we don't clean up this helpless woman today, I will die in the future. Couldn't she be arrogant and mock his husband's depression
Tang Zhuozhuo had just finished speaking, when the smile in the man's eyes turned dark, and she felt something was wrong.
Huo Qiu completely saw through her psychology, turned his fingers, his voice was slightly hoarse, mellow and cold, and he waved his sleeves: "Everyone go down."
Li Desheng was stunned for a moment, and then he gave a look. All the maids waiting inside came out in a file, but he himself hesitated for a while before closing the door and guarding outside.
Tang Zhuozhuo turned his beautiful eyes, unable to break free from the shackles of his palm, and realized that this man was not pretending to scare her, so he immediately put away the smile on his face, bit his lower lip and begged in a pitiful whisper: "Your Highness, The concubine won't make trouble anymore."
Huo Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly, stroked the charming flower in the corner of her eye with his slender index finger, and said, "Jiaojiao admits her mistake at this time, don't you think it's too late?"
"Your Highness..."
Before she could speak, the light green hibiscus embroidered clothes were completely torn from her shoulders, and she didn't even have time to react when her arm felt cold.
Tang Zhuozhuo exclaimed, quickly restrained his arrogant appearance, and even slowed down his breathing, while Huo Qiu met her terrified and inexplicable eyes, and slowly held her up.
I thought that this woman is not afraid of anything, and she is used to teasing wantonly, so she has such a bullying temperament.
Tang Zhuozhao's eyelashes trembled slightly, terrified that the man would really deal with her here, his chin rested on his shoulder, and he murmured like a cat, seductive and seductive.
If she really cleaned up for this man here, how could she have the face to come out of this door
"Your Highness, my concubine made a mistake, and I don't dare to do it again." Tang Zhuozhuo rolled his eyes, and then took out his usual tricks, pinching a piece of his cuff and said: "I also picked up a wooden core for your highness, and your highness just picked it up." Treat my concubine like this?"
Huo Qiu chuckled twice, Tang Zhuozhao could feel his body's fiery temperature through the clothes, but she gave him a presumptuous look, very dissatisfied.
He just smiled and said nothing, dignified and serious.
"It's full of people outside, I'm afraid it will damage His Highness's wisdom." She said in a very low voice, her face was blushing, and the faint smile in Huo Qiu's eyes was completely suppressed, and he hugged her and put her on the reclining chair Sitting down, the body tensed up a bit, and he stopped looking at this wanton thing.
There was a meeting place with hundreds of people sitting outside, and the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard in the corridor from time to time. Tang Zhuozhuo finally calmed down at this moment, and he expected that this man would not touch her in any way.
After all, everyone in the world knows that His Highness the Crown Prince abides by etiquette and is a model of the Dajin imperial family, and all the people sitting outside are his subjects. If some well-informed people get away with what he did today, wouldn’t it ruin the reputation of the Crown Prince for the rest of his life
With this man's level of arrogance, there is no need to think about it, he will definitely not be able to do such a thing.
Sure enough, she was right, Huo Qiu just caressed her delicate and rosy face and smiled deeply, and tucked her sideburn hair behind her ears, and said in a helpless voice, "You are the one who has the most heartless, always thinking of ways to fix it." solitary?"
Tang Zhuozhuo smiled very complacently. He picked up the neat women's clothes with his bare hands, dressed them carefully, imitated him, and pulled Huo Qiu's black hair around his fingers, saying: "My concubine is usually a very conscientious person." , but Your Highness, if you have nothing to do, come here to scare the concubine."
Huo Qiu heard the meaning of her words, laughed out of anger, and let her play without saying anything, "Is Jiaojiao blaming Gu?"
Tang Zhuozhuo smiled without answering, the meaning in his almond eyes was clearly revealed.
What a mess!
Tang Zhuozhuo also knew that it was reasonable to accept it when it was good, but after experiencing this, she couldn't listen to a word of the auction outside, so she was a little tired when she came out so well.
"But tired? Carry you back to another hospital alone?"
Tang Zhuozhuo snorted softly from his nose, and stretched out his two thin white arms for him to hug. Huo Qiu felt that this trip was not wronged, he picked her up and put a veil on her, covering her face All kinds of customs are completely covered up.
Li Desheng saw the master coming out with the princess in his arms like this, he didn't dare to look any more, but silently followed behind and reminded: "Master, are we not going to participate in the subsequent auction?"
Huo Qiu nodded, and strode onto the carriage with Tang Zhuozhao in his arms.
Li Desheng hastily ordered someone to put the thousand-year-old wooden core in a jade box, and carried it back to the house happily.
This is a rare treasure, and there is no room for mistakes.
And at this moment, a person came out from the private room diagonally opposite. He was dressed in white clothes and was gentle and elegant.
His face was unnaturally twisted, and his slender index fingers were clenched into fists. He was not surprised that Huo Qiu appeared here, but who was the woman who was snuggling in his arms and obediently hugging his neck
Tang Zhuozhuo's extremely charming face subconsciously flashed in his mind, and he was immediately rejected by himself, it's impossible, how could Donggong Concubine come to such a place
But besides Tang Zhuozhao, who else could get so close to Huo Qiu
Someone came from behind and reported: "General Wang, there is news from His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness."
The blood on Wang Yi's face trembled for a moment, and he became as gentle and jade-like as before, and asked kindly, "What's the matter?"
The man whispered in his ear, and then said: "The Sixth Highness has an urgent order, I hope the general will not delay, and must start action in the near future."
Wang Yi's eyes burst into light, he took a deep breath, his fists were shaking a little, how could he delay such a thing
After waiting for so many days, Huo Qi is finally going to attack the prince!
He can finally take revenge, the hatred of taking his wife made him a laughing stock and even exiled and dismissed from office. He has experienced such ups and downs, and he has long hated Huo Qiu to the bone.
Thinking of this, he remembered the hasty glance just now, the corner of the woman's light blue skirt moved slightly, and Wang Yi suppressed the anger in his heart.
If things come to fruition this time, His Highness the Sixth Highness ascends to the Ninth Five-Year position. When he was an extremely human minister, in view of the fact that the Tang family is still acquainted, although he can't keep the lives of other people, but Tang Zhuozhuo is a woman, he still has it. It was saved by a method.
As long as she serves him obediently and obediently, he will not be stingy with the title of a concubine, after all, he has also missed her seductive figure every night.
Thinking of this, Wang Yi let out a deep laugh with his hands behind his back, and ordered his subordinates: "Send the Yingquan Sword back to the Sixth Prince's Mansion overnight, and send more elite soldiers. There must be no mistakes."
She was thin-skinned in the corridor before, and Tang Zhuozhuo was afraid of being recognized, so he buried his head in Huo Qiu's chest all the way, and only then did he dare to show his face.
The man returned to his indifferent and alienated posture, and he couldn't see the paranoia in the private room just now. Tang Zhuozhuo glanced at him with anger and anger, and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
But even so, there was still a trace of weariness in her voice, "Who can take that sword?"
Huo Qiu raised his eyebrows, twirled the jade finger on his thumb, and replied calmly after hearing the words: "Where is Gu still in the mood to observe those?"
With her by his side, how could he calm down
He turned his eyes around her and said: "But Huo Qi should be able to go."
He really lost control just now, the little girl is not in good health, did she catch a cold
Originally, he just wanted to scare such an arrogant and domineering woman, but as soon as the clothes were taken off, it was himself who could not help being moved and almost couldn't take it back.
His Royal Highness, who had always been cold, dignified and unfeminine, was a little unnatural, and coughed slightly with a slight frown.
Tang Zhuozhao's delicate eyebrows were tightly frowned, and he subconsciously asked, "The sixth prince is here too?"
Thinking of Huo Qi's bewitching to Huo Qiu, Tang Zhuozhuo hated this person very much, even if a person with evil intentions ascended to the throne, he would be regarded as an intolerable person.
Huo Qiu's face was gloomy, his eyes fell on her Yanxiu's face, he shook his head, and said, "It's not him."
Tang Zhuozhuo vaguely saw something from his complexion, his heart trembled, and he saw Huo Qiu rubbing her dark hair swirls, and said, "It's Wang Yi."
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle preying on the desert, and Tang Zhuozhao's body stiffened for a moment before seeing his slightly sinking face.
"The General's Mansion...isn't it standing in His Highness's camp?" Tang Zhuozhuo didn't show much expression, but felt a little surprised.
Huo Qiu withdrew his hand, threw the string of Buddhist beads in his hand on the small table in the carriage, and said in a cold tone, "I have long been a traitor."
Tang Zhuozhuo took a deep breath for the simple and ordinary sentence.
According to this meaning, Wang Yi has always been a trick of the sixth prince Huo Qi? So was the rebellion in the previous life deliberate for a long time or was it a temporary idea
Thinking about it carefully, how did a general who was exiled and had no real power in the hands of Shouling manage to gather several forces to become king overnight
Tang Zhuozhuo couldn't find the right words for a while, but Huo Qiu couldn't argue, and asked, "Reluctant?"
The sharpness in his words was revealed, and Tang Zhuozhuo's beautiful eyes were shining brightly, and he said with a smile: "Naturally I don't want to part with it."
Huo Qiu's body froze slightly, his eyes were dark and full of anger.
Tang Zhuozhuo endured the pain in his waist, looked down at his nails with his usual face, then raised his eyes and asked: "That man is evil and disgusting like a fly, naturally I can't bear to let Your Highness have to talk to Mr. Liu until dawn .”
Huo Qiu didn't expect her to answer like this. After a while, he smiled slowly, all the stern aura dissipated from his body, held Tang Zhuozhuo's delicate cheeks, and nodded slightly: "Gu's delicate and eloquent, Gu is very pleased."
Tang Zhuozhao covered his lips and yawned, clenched the handkerchief into a ball in his hand, and then fell into the man's arms, coquettishly: "I'm sleepy." She tilted her head and rubbed her head, and then said: "On the body It's sour and still hurts, His Highness rub it for Haosheng."
This little shameless coquette has no bottom line, Huo Qiu pinches her arms and legs, which makes her hum comfortably.
Huo Qiu slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself not to think about those messy things, but those pictures were lingering in front of his eyes.
At least the person in her heart today is herself, but now that Wang Yi has come to Xijiang, does she really have no memory in her heart
Their past has always been a thorn in his heart, but during this time the woman has smoothed the thorn, and at first glance it has been pulled out, but now it is clear that the thorn is still stuck in the bottom of his heart. Throat mouth, can not forget.
Huo Qiu has always been calm and reserved, but now his mood suddenly became a little disturbed. He pursed his lips, stroked her broken hair, and said, "Gu suddenly regretted bringing you here."
It's just that if she stays in the capital...
Then I'm afraid I don't have the tenderness at this moment.
Tang Zhuozhuo naturally understood what was going on in the man's mind, but if he tried to make an excuse at this time, especially since there was no money here, he would definitely not believe it.
She rolled up her wide sleeves embroidered with begonia patterns, her voice was still a little bit soft, she touched his chest, and said: "Your Highness wants to leave my concubine alone in the East Palace, so I can do it myself." Come out and meet a beautiful woman happily."
"You have no conscience."
Huo Qiu's heart was slightly warmed by her messing around, and his eyes were as sharp as arrows.
Since you dare to come, you must be prepared to have a paw chopped off! His woman absolutely can't tolerate half-hearted outsiders, and her brand is engraved all over her body. Whether she lives or dies, she is his justifiable prince and concubine!
Life is the same quilt, death is the same acupuncture point, it should be like this.
When the carriage was halfway through, a ragged child rushed out halfway. He was about ten years old, and he was so thin that it made people feel distressed.
But he came to beg for food, and he looked as if he was so hungry that he couldn't help it.
Huo Qiu's face darkened, he raised the curtain and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
Li Desheng leaned over, "Your Highness, you are a child begging for food. Just now, the servant gave me some coarse grains. As a reward, I insisted on giving Your Highness a bunch of grass ring bracelets weaved by myself."
Huo Qiu didn't take it seriously, and turned his eyes away after a cursory glance. Just a brief mention: "Go and tell the sheriff, it's time to open a gruel?"
Tang Zhuozhuo asked: "The governor of Xijiang is named Mu?"
Huo Qiu thought she had already guessed something, so he didn't hide it, frowned and said: "Exactly, but he is also a villain who is stalking others, with no talent or ability."
