0228. IOU·Crushing

"Attic No. 15, the first time without 150,000 gold... Is anyone raising the price?" The auctioneer waved his hammer, and because he was too excited, the expression on his face was almost ferocious.

A sky-high price record is about to be born.

Wang Chen looked at Princess Qin Zhen anxiously.

A fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. In the past, Her Majesty the Princess's force also had a certain weight in the Western Qin Empire. However, with the unjust death of Tang Chong, all parties jointly attacked and fell apart. Now, even hundreds of I can't even raise ten thousand dollars.

Qin Zhen turned his back to the door and frowned.

The price of the Tang sisters was sky-high, which was beyond her expectation.

She basically worked hard to raise the funds she could, and even pawned a few valuable things she had. As the saying goes, some chambers of commerce and consortia that she had met in the past rushed to give her money, but now, all Chao lost power, and when he heard that it was her who borrowed the money, he didn't even see her.

what to do?

Even though Qin Zhen is full of clever tricks, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

She stroked the long sword in her hand, with a look of determination on her face, and sent a message to the outside of the attic, saying: "Can I use items as collateral?"

Wang Chen understood what she meant as soon as he saw it, and said in shock: "Your Highness, this sword was originally..."

Qin Zhen waved his hand to indicate that he should stop talking.

However, the voice of the leader of the Jiaofang Division came from outside, saying: "If the distinguished guest has a treasure, of course it can be resisted, but some professionals need to be invited to evaluate and appraise it before the price can be given. This auction, the distinguished guests will not be able to catch up.”

…

…

"Pavilion No. 15, 550,000 gold. For the second time, will anyone increase the price?"

The auctioneer's voice trembled.

"The last chance, the last chance... This is the daughter of General Zhenguo. She has martial arts talent and is a virgin. She is the most noble female family member ever auctioned by the Jiaofang Division. If you miss it, you may not have it again in the future. Ah..." He looked in the direction of Pavilion No. 10, hoping that they could increase the price and raise the record higher.

However, Pavilion No. 10, which was so impressive before, was silent this time and did not make any further bids. It seemed that it was weighing the pros and cons, and it seemed that it had given up.

In the attic of No. 15, Bai Yuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Damn it, I dare not go in and announce the ownership of the auction. This old dog is delaying time and is deliberately luring other people to compete with us."

Han Feiran sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Huh, No. 10 must be out of money... Send someone to keep an eye on him to see who is inside. If he fights with us, I will make him spit out all our losses."

On the main stage, Tang Tang, who was tied to a human-shaped steel frame, seemed to have dried up his tears.

Her expression gradually became numb amidst the screams of the auctioneer and the cheers of the surrounding onlookers. The panic and weakness in her eyes gradually turned into hatred and anger. She felt this The malice of the world and the seeds of hatred were growing crazily in her heart.

Only when she saw the back of the man with the silver ghost smile mask standing next to her, did her eyes feel a trace of calmness. In the darkest time, this person who had never met her before had maintained her dignity.

"The last time, the last time, is there anyone who bids? If not, then the eldest daughter of General Zhenguo will be the honored guest in Room 15..." The gray-haired auctioneer raised his hand high. Auction hammer.

Li Mu, wearing a mask, stood beside Tang Tang and looked at Pavilion No. 10.

Strange, are Wang Chen and others actually giving up?

With a thought in his heart, he activated the formation secretly arranged, and saw everything in Pavilion No. 10. Wang Chen, who looked anxious, and a thin figure wearing a white robe and a mask, who looked like a second-level figure. A young man about ten years old, holding a sword in his hand...

"It turns out that... I have no money."

Li Mu secretly snooped and found out the inside story.

It seems that the His Highness Wang Chen is following has lost some of his power because he is so poor.

However, he was able to take out his personal magic sword and mortgage it just to save people. This impressed Li Mu. It seemed that this so-called His Highness was also a person with a conscience.

"Okay, since no one is bidding anymore, I declare that Tang Tang, the eldest daughter of General Zhenguo, belongs to..." The auction hammer held high by the auctioneer was about to fall.

"Wait." Li Mu said.

The auction hammer stopped mid-air.

The gray-haired auctioneer looked at the man in the silver ghost smile mask with lingering fear and said, "What do you mean?"

He was afraid that this innate being would suddenly go berserk and go on a killing spree.

Li Mu said: "I bid... 580,000 gold."

There were exclamations all around.

Is the Silver Ghost Laughing Mask man going to participate in the auction?

The auctioneer was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and shook his head: "You must be a distinguished guest who has obtained the sign and has proof of funds before you are eligible to bid. Although you are classified as innate, but..." Beyond the words, who knew you were I'm not just talking nonsense here, but what if you can't come up with 580,000 gold?

Li Mu said calmly: "I know."

He looked at Loft No. 18 and said, "Follow the price."

Then in Pavilion No. 18, the voice of raising the price came out as expected: "Five hundred and eighty thousand gold."

There were exclamations and uproar all around.

At this moment, even a fool realized that the man in the silver ghost mask turned out to be the mysterious guest in the attic of No. 18.

After the auctioneer was startled, he also became excited. This would be easier to handle. No matter who made the bid, it would be beneficial to the Jiaofang Division if the price went up. He shouted at the top of his voice: "Okay, No. 18 The distinguished guest in the attic bid fifty-eight gold...five hundred and eighty thousand gold for the first time..."

…

"It's Li Mu!"

In the attic No. 1, Liu Chenglong almost jumped up.

The owner of Loft No. 18 is Li Mu. He has investigated this clearly before. But now, the man in the silver mask can actually control the price of Loft No. 18. There is only one explanation, he is Li Mu.

The second prince's eyes also narrowed.

He actually made a mistake.

This Li Mu really doesn't know how to live or die, and he is actually here, jumping out to ruin his affairs.

In his mind, he quickly calculated, if Li Mu really slapped Tangtang away, what would happen next?

Lulizi at the table also stood up and looked towards the main stage: "Is he Li Mu?" Lulizi thought of the scene where he was seriously injured by Li Mu with the help of Yuan Wu's death, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. This Li Mu, He was so arrogant and arrogant.

…

"Huh? What's going on?"

In Pavilion No. 10, Wang Chen and Qin Zhen were both greatly surprised.

They have determined that in Pavilion No. 15, there must be some enemies of General Tang Chong who came to auction and want to humiliate and vent their anger. However, how come No. 18 suddenly appears? What is the origin of this No. 18?

The situation is a bit confusing.

However, the man in the Silver Ghost Smiling Mask had previously helped Tang Mi maintain her dignity. He seemed to be a good person?

Many thoughts quickly flashed through Qin Zhen's mind.

What can be confirmed is that if Tang Mi falls into the hands of the man with the silver ghost smile mask, it will definitely be much better than falling into the hands of those scum in the attic of No. 15. Maybe there is room for change?

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the maid outside came in and said, "Distinguished guest, the distinguished guest in the attic of No. 18 has sent someone to deliver a box. Do you want to send it in?"

Qin Zhen looked stern and said, "Send it in."

A moment later, an exquisite white jade box was delivered to Qin Zhen.

Open it and take a look. The box is divided into two compartments. In the left compartment, there is a full one million gold Tianxia Chamber of Commerce gold ticket, which is guaranteed to be replaced, and in the right compartment, there is a note that says: "Don't worry, Tang Mi will be sent to you later. If you need to borrow money, just write the IOU, sign your name, and have it sent back. I will lend you this million gold, so you don't have to thank me."

Qin Zhen and Wang Chen were both stunned for a moment.

Although the content written on the note revealed a strong sense of narcissism, such an action was really a timely help.

With this million gold, plus the funds they still have in hand, it will definitely be enough to participate in the auction and rescue Mrs. Tang.

Moreover, the other party made it clear that they would send Tang Mi back. In other words, the person in the Silver Ghost Smiling Mask joined the bidding not because he wanted to, but because he was doing it for them... Who is this person and why is he helping like this? Own?

Is he really just a brave knight?

It won't be that simple.

If he was just a knight-errant who happened to be in the right situation, why would he help them?

Are the people in the Silver Ghost Laughing Mask so sure that they are good people and are here to save Mrs. Tang and her two daughters?

He must know something inside.

However, at this time, it was not the time to think so much.

After Qin Zhen was slightly superior, he picked up a pen and paper and directly wrote an IOU for 1.7 million gold. On it, he dropped a drop of his own fingertip blood as a voucher. After folding the IOU, he had someone send it back. In Pavilion No. 18, the jade box and the one million Tianxia Chamber of Commerce gold tickets were kept.

Wang Chen didn't speak.

He knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess wrote 1.7 million, of which 1 million was to borrow gold tickets, and the other 700,000 was to pay the other party to participate in the auction and save Tang Mi.

Although the auction has not ended yet, and No. 18 and No. 15 are still competing fiercely, Her Royal Highness the Princess chose to believe in the man in the Silver Ghost Smiling Mask, a stranger who had never been masked before, and believed in his goodwill. A kind of courage and mind.

Just like the man in the Silver Ghost Laughing Mask ordered someone to send him one million gold tickets before receiving the IOU, trust in this process was extremely valuable.

Wang Chen couldn't help but sigh and said: "This man in the silver ghost smile mask is really a strange person. From his voice and his actions, he should be no more than thirty years old. A thirty-year-old innate is definitely worthy of the title." He is a hero of his time, a true zealous knight. In comparison, Li Mu, who I was originally very optimistic about, is so different, so disappointing..."

Qin Zhen said nothing.

…

"Six hundred and forty thousand gold." In Pavilion No. 15, Bai Yuan and others gritted their teeth and raised the price.

Victory was already in sight, but who knew that a man with a silver ghost mask suddenly appeared and disturbed their good fortune. The price had far exceeded their initial predictions. Even they felt a wave of pain. Flesh hurts.

"Seven hundred thousand gold." The man in the silver ghost smile mask said calmly.

All of a sudden, it increased to 60,000 gold.

This is a kind of momentum, a kind of crushing, a kind of provocation.
