"What's wrong? What are you looking at?" Su Moyuan saw her staring at one place in a daze, so he followed her line of sight, but saw nothing.
Su Lijin came back to her senses, put away her gloomy expression, and said with a smile, "Brother, I remembered I need to buy some small things. You can go to the restaurant and wait for me."
Su Moyuan didn't doubt him and nodded: "Then be careful and come to me after you finish buying."
Su Lijin smiled and said, "Don't worry."
After Su Moyuan left, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared. She looked in the direction her deputy had just walked and followed him.
The deputy didn't notice anyone behind him and walked into a perfume shop very familiarly.
"What is he doing here?"
Staring at the shop, Su Lijin frowned and stepped in.
However, just as he was about to step in, he was stopped by someone.
"Hey, you can't just enter without a ticket!"
A big man glared at her in a rough voice.
Su Lijin glanced inside, but couldn't see what was going on inside. She couldn't help but ask, "Big Brother, do I need a ticket to enter? What does this place do?"
Seeing her asking about what was going on inside, the big man just frowned and replied, "This is an underground auction, so of course you need a ticket!"
"Underground auction?" Su Lijin was slightly surprised.
She took another look inside and saw many people entering with tickets.
After leaving the shop, Su Lijin was thinking about her deputy and couldn't calm down.
The appearance of her deputy brought back many painful memories.
After finally calming down a little, more and more doubts arose in my heart.
This person's sudden appearance here must be bad news.
"What the hell is going on in Mongolia again?"
Thinking of this, Su Lijin felt that she could not just sit there and wait for death. She needed to find a way to get in and take a look.
After returning to the restaurant, she asked Su Moyuan to go back first, changed into Shiqi's clothes, and went directly to find Xiao Shengxing.
"Your Majesty, can we make a deal?" Su Lijin asked straight to the point.
Xiao Shengxing put down the brush in his hand and stared at her: "Shiqi, do you have anything you want me to help you with?"
Su Lijin felt slightly embarrassed when he saw through her. She quickly suppressed her emotions and said, "I can sell you the information you need, but as for the reward, I can just use a ticket to the underground auction."
Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes flickered for a moment, and then his thin lips curled up in amusement: "Shiqi, how did you know I had tickets to the underground auction?"
When Su Lijin heard his answer, the last bit of worry in her heart completely disappeared, and she sat down opposite him with a smile.
"To be honest, I've just been there."
"Everyone who enters there is either rich or noble. By analogy, I believe the emperor must have some as well."
Xiao Shengxing listened to her confident words, and the smile in his dark eyes deepened. He asked, "Shiqi, why are you so sure?"
Su Lijin met his eyes, a confident smile on her lips: "Under the whole heaven, is there any place that the emperor cannot set foot in? You are the king of the entire world. Anyone can be without you, but you cannot be without you!"
"Who can be as powerful as you? Who can be as resourceful and shrewd as you?"
She spoke these words in a very domineering manner, as if Xiao Shengxing was truly omnipotent in her heart.
After saying that, Su Lijin sighed in her heart, Your Majesty, considering that I have praised you to the sky, please agree to this deal and give me the tickets!
Although she was not sure whether Xiao Shengxing liked to hear this, she believed that good words are often spoken with impatience and people who smile at her are not to be offended. She did not believe that Xiao Shengxing would directly refuse.
Hearing these compliments, Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes shone with a hint of amusement. "Why do I sense something's amiss? Are you implying that I'm an old fox?"
Su Lijin's eyes widened, and she waved her hands hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please understand! I didn't mean that at all. I was clearly praising you sincerely!"
Why would Xiao Shengxing think so?
Seeing her shaking her head in amusement, like a cat wagging its tail, a hint of satisfaction appeared in Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes.
The effect was achieved, and he stopped teasing the man and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I agree to make a deal with you."
Su Lijin wanted to explain a few more things, fearing that Xiao Shengxing would misunderstand her and mess things up, but when she heard him agree out of the blue, she was stunned and didn't react at all.
"What? Shiqi doesn't want to make a deal anymore?" Xiao Shengxing said with a smile.
"No, no, no, it's a deal, no regrets!" Su Lijin quickly made the final decision.
Xiao Shengxing took out a ticket from the bookshelf and handed it to Su Lijin.
Looking at the ticket, Su Lijin's eyes widened with joy.
However, when her fingers touched the ticket, Xiao Shengxing showed no intention of letting go.
"However, I also have a condition."
"What conditions?"
Hearing this, Su Lijin was stunned. Seeing Xiao Shengxing raised his thin lips and said, "I want you to go with me."
"Ah?" She couldn't help but open her mouth.
Xiao Shengxing wants to go with her?
After being stunned, she suddenly thought of the Mongolian deputy and couldn't help but hesitate.
If Xiao Shengxing went with him, he would definitely find out the purpose of her trip.
"This is my only condition. If you agree to it, the ticket will be yours." Xiao Shengxing insisted without giving in.
A trace of worry flashed in his black eyes. The underground auction house was full of all kinds of people. If Su Lijin went there alone, she might get into trouble.
For some reason, looking at the person in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a desire to protect him, which he had never felt before.
Su Lijin thought about it and nodded: "Okay, let's go together."
Since Xiao Shengxing has made up his mind, why not let her go with him?
Su Lijin made up her mind and said openly, "I wanted to go to the underground auction this time because I found out that the Mongolians were also there."
"What are they doing there?" Xiao Shengxing frowned.
Su Lijin shook her head and pursed her lips, saying, "But I guess they must be conducting some underground transactions there."
After the suicide of a Mongolian attendant, the movements of the Mongols became the focus of their attention.
The two men disguised themselves and headed towards the auction venue.
Su Lijin looked at Xiao Shengxing, who was dressed like a wealthy young man, and said teasingly with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, you look like you are extremely wealthy."
Xiao Shengxing was wearing a dark green robe with copper coin patterns printed all over it, making him look very wealthy.
Xiao Shengxing glanced down at his own attire and smiled. He then turned to look at Su Lijin's attire and said, "Your outfit is also very elegant, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Su Lijin stuck out her tongue and thought to herself, these are the clothes he provided, she has to wear them.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be dressed so lavishly.
The fabric of the clothes Su Lijin was wearing was very extravagant, with large peony flowers embroidered on it with gold thread. She looked noble and wealthy, but still a little tacky.
