"you……"
Wan Sanqian knocked the gavel indifferently.
"General Gu, auctions have their own rules."
"If you don't have money to bid, you can just watch."
"If you dare to disturb others, don't blame us for being impartial and kicking you out!"
Gu Yuan's eyes were cold.
It’s not that he can’t afford the price.
But he felt that the Buddhist scriptures were not worth the price.
"Fifty thousand taels!"
"General Gu is truly wealthy." Jiang Quan waved his hand with a smile. "However, I'm also very interested in this Buddhist scripture. Since it's the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, it's a perfect gift. So, sixty thousand taels!"

"I'll offer eighty thousand taels!" Gu Yuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly slammed the table and stood up, looking at Jiang Quan and saying, "Master Jiang, if you continue to raise the price, I won't want this Buddhist scripture anymore. Eighty thousand taels is my bottom line!"
"Haha, if that's the case, then let General Gu take over." Jiang Quan waved his hand with a smile and said calmly, "I heard that there are still many treasures behind. Let's take a look."
Gu Yuan's heart trembled suddenly.
not good!
Is this a trap?!
