The woman covered her wound without answering, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at him.

At this time, the Helian brothers and sisters ran over, and when they saw her, they shouted loudly: "Lantul, why are you here?!"

Helian Yue even began to tremble and staggered into the house.

Helian Yao was lying on the bed, with a new pattern on the tattoo on his back.

A large red bow was hung with a sharp arrow, the arrow pointing directly at the original three-legged monster bird.

Helian Yao's breathing was steady, but he had not yet regained consciousness.

Helian Zhao angrily pulled the woman up and said, "Noble Concubine Lan, my father has doted on you for so many years, why did you put my Jin Yanguo in such a situation!"

"Doted on? Hahaha." Lantur laughed loudly, his laughter full of sarcasm.

"That's because he feels guilty!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Helian Zhao said angrily, "Why should my father be ashamed of himself?"

Lantur was at the end of her rope at this point. She sneered and directly told the past that had been buried in her heart for many years.

More than a decade ago, the former emperor of Jinyang State led his troops to try to gather the surrounding tribes, and the Yuanshan tribe was one of them.

The late emperor wanted to persuade them to surrender, but he was met with desperate resistance from the other side. In a rage, the late emperor killed 200,000 people of Yuanshan tribe.

Helian Yao, who was the crown prince at the time, was also among them. Lantur fled with the only elder of the tribe. When they came back, the ground was littered with corpses.

From then on, she devoted herself to practicing the clan's secret techniques, with her only wish being to take revenge.

After talking about these old stories, Lantur was heartbroken.

She cried out heartbreakingly: "It is only natural that a son should pay for his father's debts. Besides, Helian Yao also has the blood of my Yuanshan people on his hands!"

Helian Zhao opened his mouth in vain, not knowing what to say.

Gu Lingze did not comment on this past event, but there was one thing he thought it would be better to talk about.

"Lantul, the little charm you have learned is no match for the purple aura lingering on the Emperor of Jinyanguo."

"So he did all this willingly."

After saying that, he pulled Zhao Chengmo out.

As soon as Gu Lingze returned to the general's mansion, he asked for a bucket of water to take a bath.

He was almost burnt to a crisp today. I don’t know how Helian Yao managed to endure for such a long time.

Zhao Chengmo pushed the door open, took the towel from his hand naturally, and continued to help him wipe his wet hair.

Gu Lingze fell down and leaned on the other person.

"Do you think Lantuer likes the emperor of Jinyanguo?"

The image of the woman crying appeared in Zhao Chengmo's mind and he nodded.

Gu Lingze curled his lips and said, "I think so too. When she saw me coming out of that room before, she was obviously relieved."

Zhao Chengmo didn't say anything, but lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead, "It's better this way."

Gu Lingze immediately understood what he meant and smiled.

Of course, loving each other and staying together is much better than being in a tragic relationship. At least for lovers, they will definitely choose the former way.

"Forget it, let's not talk about them." Gu Lingze scratched his hair, "Come with me to Heyilou to eat cold noodles later."

"good."

——

The next morning, Gu Lingze received news that Helian Yao had woken up.

As for Lantur, it was said that he escaped during the chaos and his whereabouts are unknown.

When they heard that the fire man that day was the Emperor Helian Yao of the Jinyan Kingdom, all the people who came to pay tribute were shocked.

Yesterday, many people saw Gu Lingze walking in and out of the fire. Although some parts were exaggerated, most of them were true.

Now no one dares to question Gu Lingze's ability, and even the rumors about him seem to be getting more and more intense.

Gu Lingze gave half a bottle of spiritual milk to Emperor Jing, who then passed it to Helian Yao.

After all, the other party is the monarch of a country and cannot live his whole life with scars on his face. As for the price, of course it was negotiated by the two emperors themselves.

"Lingze, what do you think about the matter of the elixir of immortality?"

Emperor Jing asked.

Gu Lingze had thought about this problem a long time ago. The more some things are concealed, the more others want to explore them.

It is better to look at it openly and confidently, so that others will not be suspicious.

He smiled and replied, "Whether it's the elixir of immortality or the wine of immortality, we in Qianyuan Country have plenty of them, but that depends on whether they can afford it."

After leaving the palace, Gu Lingze went straight to the Grand Tutor's Mansion and found Xie Luocheng.

"Auction?"

Xie Luocheng has traveled all over the country for so many years, but has never heard of this term.

"Um."

Gu Lingze began to explain the format and process of the auction, and the other party's eyes lit up more and more as he listened.

After hearing the end, Xie Luocheng clapped his hands in admiration.

"Lingze, your idea is really brilliant!" He walked around the room excitedly.

"In this way, the highest bidder wins. The final selling price may be much higher than the normal selling price!"

Gu Lingze couldn't help but sigh that his uncle was truly a genius in business and could understand things at a glance.

“Auctions are also an invisible game that tests the psychology of the auctioneer.”

After discussion, the two finally decided to use the most traditional reserve price auction, which would encourage participants from various countries to bid high prices through continuous bidding.

"Uncle, how about you host this auction?"

Xie Luocheng thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will preside over it, but the emperor..."

Gu Lingze smiled and said, "Don't worry, the emperor will definitely agree."

The two discussed some details in detail, and Gu Lingze suggested that Xie Luocheng compile a written report, which he would then present to the emperor.

Three days passed in a flash. During this period, Emperor Jing learned about the content of the auction and immediately decided that Xie Luocheng would be fully responsible for the matter.

The Queen heard this and thought it was interesting. She asked, "Lingze, when are you going to hold this auction?"

Gu Lingze curled his lips and smiled meaningfully, "Don't worry for now. We still need a gimmick for the elixir of immortality."

During this period, many people in various countries have found out about the pharmacy under the name of Zhao Chengmo.

Although the name of the store is Zhao Chengmo, everyone knows that the pills sold there are all made by Gu Lingze.

As a result, all kinds of elixirs were sold out immediately. Gu Lingze didn't have time to make them, so he simply closed the pharmacy.

As long as the auction starts, they will naturally not be concerned about the things here.

Just when all the countries were about to get impatient, they received news of Emperor Jing's banquet.

Although everyone was confused, they all told the people sent by the Ministry of Rites that they would arrive on time.

On the day of the banquet, the princes and envoys of various countries, as well as the ministers of Qianyuan were all waiting in Baohe Hall on time.

This time, Emperor Jing allowed court officials to bring their wives and families into the palace. Gu Lingze simply brought Uncle Xu and others, as well as Jin Zilingzi, into the palace.
