Chapter 1777 Auction(2/2)

When he came to the door, Xie Fu handed over an invitation made of pure gold like everyone else. In addition to the exquisite carving patterns, there were two words on the invitation - Song Zhi.

Obviously each invitation is specially made and has the name of the inviter engraved on it.

Of course Xie Fu stole this invitation from a guest at Dengying Tower. In order to prevent Li Gui from meeting Li Kui, the man named Song Zhi would not appear for a long time.

The person in charge of reception at the door was a middle-aged man who looked very calm. He scanned the invitation and said, "Mr. Song to Song?"

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Yes."

After all, he was an imposter. Xiao Yu'er acted a little guilty and nervous. It was no joke to dare to do such a thing under the eyes of the Su family. As long as the Su family opened the door, there would be no need for the Su family to do it themselves, someone would do it for them.

Perhaps it was Xiao Yu'er's nervousness that made the middle-aged man glance at Xiao Yu'er keenly, making Xiao Yu'er even more embarrassed and uneasy.

Xie Fu's hand fell under her round back at some point, which made Xiao Yu'er's embarrassment and squirming melt into one.

Xie Fu whispered in Xiao Yu'er's ear like a concubine: "I'll be auctioning you later."

Although the voice was low, the middle-aged man could hear it clearly despite his sharp ears. He looked at the man next to him with a sword embroidered on his lapel.

Xie Fu noticed that the plackets on the clothes of middle-aged people also had such embroidery marks, which was obviously to distinguish visitors from attendants.

The man stepped forward and said respectfully: "Mr. Song, please come with me."

The two of them followed the man through the magnificent hall. Many weapons and armors were displayed in the hall, including the Mingguang Armor, but it was placed in an inconspicuous position.

For people in martial arts, a piece of bright light armor is naturally far less attractive than a magical weapon.

After walking through the courtyard, we came to an enclosed building. The rooms were designed in an arc, one next to the other, and they circled around to form a complete circle.

Xie Fu knew that this kind of building was called Weilong Tower, which was popular in the Jin Dynasty. There was a large open space in the middle. It was used for life and death duels at that time. Every room could see the duel scene in the middle without any obstruction.

Entering Weilong Tower from the gate, you will see a spacious square made of white stone that is twenty feet wide. The square is empty without any decoration, making it look very empty and spacious.

Xie Fu looked around and found that the building has three floors. Except for one room on the first floor that serves as the entrance, there are only thirty-three rooms. The second and third floors are both thirty-four rooms, a total of one hundred rooms.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! All rooms have a normal appearance, with no doors or windows, and a bead curtain hanging down as the wall.

This made Xie Fu feel good. At least from the room's perspective, there was no distinction between high and low.

The man led the two of them to a room on the second floor and said respectfully: "Mr. Song, please sit down and wait a moment. The auction will start on time." After that, he turned and left.

The interior is elegantly furnished, with a guest seat in the middle. In front of the guest seat is a large sandalwood table. There is no fruit plate or drink on the table, only three open brocade boxes.

One box contains silverware, one box contains goldware, and one box contains jadeware. The items in the box are arranged in order, with nine items in each box.

Xie Fu asked in confusion: "What is this?"

Xiao Yu'er was proud that she was finally needed when she was needed. She pointed at the silverware box and said, "This is a hundred taels of strategy."

Counting the silverware one by one: "This is one hundred taels, two hundred taels, three hundred taels... nine hundred taels."

Pointing to the silver box: "This is the Qianliang Strategy, which means one thousand taels to nine thousand taels."

Then he pointed to the jade box: "This is a plan of ten thousand taels, which means ten thousand taels to ninety thousand taels."

Xie Fu was surprised: "What can be worth tens of thousands of taels!"

Xiao Yuer responded: "I don't know."

If the Su family is the king of Sword City, then the Lin family is just a courtier of the king, and she is just a young lady from the courtier's family. She has some worldly knowledge, but she doesn't know everything.

Xie Fu sat down in the guest seat and could clearly see the spacious square in the middle through the bead curtain from a high position. If he looked from outside, he could not see clearly inside the house.

Seeing that in addition to the three brocade boxes, there was also a jade tube with a small iron sword inside, he asked, "What is this?"

Xiao Yuer explained: "This is a bright sword. It comes from the meaning of duel. Either you die or I live. As long as you show this sword, no matter what price the other party offers, it will be higher than the other party."

Xie Fu immediately understood: "It is equivalent to lighting a sky lantern."

Xiao Yuer nodded and asked softly: "Is what you just said true?"

"What?"

"Say, we'll be auctioning it later..."

Xie Fu smiled hoarsely: "Am I so messy?"

At this time, a woman appeared at the door and stood inside the house. Xie Fu looked around through the curtain and saw a woman standing in front of every room.

Xiao Yuer explained: "This woman is responsible for passing the fortune."

"Why go to all the trouble of hiding it."

"It's a crime to have a treasure. Some people don't want others to know about it. Going out of the auction house can also reduce the number of treasure snatching incidents."

At this time, two men walked towards the center of the White Jade Square. One was a middle-aged man with nothing to wear, and the other man was holding a plan in his hands. The plan was covered with a red cloth, so he could not see what it was.

Xiao Yuer said softly: "The auction has begun."

The two walked to the center, and the middle-aged man introduced himself as the host of tonight's auction, whose surname was Su Baozhen.

The clear voice echoed in Weilong Tower and reached everyone's ears clearly.

Xiao Yuer said: "Su Baozhen is a very important figure in the Su family and is highly valued by Mr. Su. When my father was alive, he always came to the Lin family to explain matters. Under normal circumstances, he would not be the host of the auction.

I guess today’s auction is very important and has a highlight.”

Xie Fu asked: "What's the highlight?"

"I just returned to Sword City and don't know much about it. Anyway, if you see something good soon, don't miss it."

Xie Fu said with a smile: "I just came here today to join in the fun. Besides, I am a fake. If I really take a picture of something, my secret will be exposed."

No rare treasure can be discerned by Xie Fu, even if it is a magic weapon, he is not rare. This time he came to Sword City with only one purpose, which was to look for weapons and armor.

After Su Baozhen made some introductory remarks, she began to introduce the first auction item of the day, which was something covered in red cloth. The strange thing was that the red cloth was not lifted to let people see clearly what was on the plan.

Despite this, the auction was still very enthusiastic, and the price rose from the opening price of 300 taels to 3,000 taels.

Xiao Yuer explained: "This is a blind auction. After you take the photo, you are responsible for the quality of the item. However, with the reputation and financial resources of the Su family, they usually make a profit without losing any money."

Xie Fu said with a smile: "That's a bad statement. You all know that there is a profit but not a loss. Naturally, others also know that if the premium is too high, then the profit will turn into a loss."

The price was raised to 8,000 taels, but no one bid again. After Su Baozhen asked three times, a firework burst out in the sky, officially announcing that the auction item belonged to Room 27 on the second floor.

According to past practice, the lot will be announced after the blind auction. As Su Baozhen lifted the red cloth, a high-quality jade pendant on the plan came into view.

Because the venue was spacious and the auctioneer and auctioneer each lived in a room, the scene remained quiet.
