Chapter 272 Auction House



Gu Beiheng did not express his loyalty to him, but instead said this, meaning that he would not stand on the side of the old Prince Rongshan.

Prince Jing smiled, a cold smile on his face. He looked at Gu Beiheng seriously, "I don't think we will become enemies."

"Thank you, Prince Jing."

Prince Jing weakly took the cup of tea handed to him by his confidant and rinsed his mouth. He forced himself to sit up and looked at Gu Beiheng and the others again. "The relationship between you two is really enviable."

"You should cherish the person in front of you." Su Qi could see that Madam Ru loved Prince Jing very much.

But she is just a concubine and cannot compare to Princess Jing.

Prince Jing is a man who respects the princess, so Madam Ru must have suffered a lot.

It can be seen from her frail body that she has suffered a lot, both openly and secretly.

Prince Jing seemed to have thought of something and fell silent. A hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, then turned into tenderness.

"Thank you both very much."

Su Qi and Gu Beiheng said goodbye.

Li Hao was still waiting for the two of them. After leaving Prince Jing's Mansion, he went to Prince Hui's Mansion.

King Hui has come to his senses and is indeed a gentle and even kind-hearted person.

People like this who grow up in large families usually die quickly.

It's easy to become a target for others.

After Su Qi changed his bandage, she told Li Hao to have the court doctor change the bandage next time. She left the bandage with him and didn't need to come every day.

Just come and see it once in three days.

Li Hao frowned and thought for a while, then he begged Su Qi to take the trouble to make the trip, and he could pick them up and drop them off every day.

Prince Hui remained silent throughout, simply asking Li Hao to pay him ten thousand taels of silver. He was still secretly grieving, as his family members were eager for a life-or-death struggle.

This made Prince Hui, who believed that peace was the most important thing and that suffering a loss was a blessing, feel confused.

I couldn't turn around for a while.

Su Qi and Gu Beiheng saw Prince Jing's character, and knew he would be cannon fodder in a large family. Even children from farming families would be bullied.

Li Hao sent Su Qi and Gu Beiheng out, and Gu Beiheng told Li Hao to be careful of the people around Prince Hui.

"Sir Li, Prince Hui is too cowardly. If he is not careful, you will be doomed." Gu Beiheng admired Li Hao's character and couldn't help but say a few more words.

Li Hao knew his master's character well in advance. Prince Hui had saved his life, so he had to do his best to repay his master.

"Master Gu, Princess Jing won't let this go. You'd better be careful. If you need anything, you can come to me and Helian."

Gu Beiheng nodded and left with Su Qi.

Helian sent someone to bring them over, and the carriage was waiting outside.

Gu Beiheng said to go to Yue Mansion.

I have to go to the auction house in the afternoon.

Arrived at Yue Mansion.

Yue Jiushao had already put on his clothes, his face looked pale and a little weak.

A wheelchair was prepared, and Yue Jiushao sat in it.

Su Qi couldn't help but find it funny when she saw how cautious he was.

"Jiu Shao, you injured your back and arms, not your legs. Why do you need a wheelchair?"

Yue Jiushao was still wearing his red brocade robe, his eyes raised slightly with a devilish smile. "I was afraid I'd faint from walking. I've lost a lot of blood and am weak."

Su Qi took out a red pill from her purse and handed it to Yue Jiushao.

"Eat it, I guarantee you won't faint."

Yue Jiushao grinned, he knew that Su Qi had a treasure.

He quickly took the pill and swallowed it.

He stood up and brushed off the non-existent dust on his body. "Haven't you eaten yet? I've had a banquet prepared. Let's eat and drink our fill before heading to the auction house."

"What does the auction house look like?" Gu Beiheng asked Yue Jiushao as they walked.

Yue Jiushao had only been to the auction house in Dongqi State, and had never been to the auction house in Jinyang Prefecture, which was located at the junction of the three kingdoms. It was said that it was a no-man's land, and the auction house was ruled by fists.

Slaves, weapons, medicines, anything could be auctioned.

Even human heads can be auctioned.

Some people from each country who have the opportunity to enter will receive tickets to enter the auction hall.

Yue Jiushao told Su Qi and Gu Beiheng what he knew.

When Su Qi and Gu Beiheng heard this, they were both very interested and exchanged glances with each other.

They can also auction some things.

"Are silver bills also popular?"

Yue Jiushao shook his head. "The auction house only accepts gold. I've already prepared two thousand taels of gold for you, enough for you to go and see the excitement."

Yue Jiushao also said that his Yue family also had admission tickets, but they were only given to his eldest and second brothers.

Two thousand taels of gold is not a lot.

It's just enough to watch the fun at the auction.

However, Su Qi's space can be used, and the gold inside is enough to blind others.

Several people ate their meal in a hurry.

Yue Jiushao, Gu Beiheng and Su Qi arrived at the northeast city of Jinyang Prefecture. They drove eastwards from the city gate in carriage for an hour.

Stopped by a river.

Yue Jiushao asked the carriage to go back.

He took out a whistle and blew it.

After a while, a small boat appeared from the river, and several men in tight clothes rowed the boat over.

One of the men was burly and had a horrifying scar running from the bottom of his left eye to his chin.

The man stood on the boat, carrying a red-tasseled spear. The fierce look on his face told everyone that he was a bad guy who was not to be trifled with.

He glanced at them arrogantly and said, "You three look very unfamiliar."

Gu Beiheng stood there coldly, without a trace of a smile on his face. He glanced over and asked, "Isn't it normal to feel unfamiliar the first time you go?"

The man choked on him.

He shook the red tasseled spear in his hand and said in a muffled voice, "Where's the admission ticket?"

Yue Jiushao took the admission tickets from Su Qi and Gu Beiheng and handed over the three tickets.

The man took it and looked at it, muttering:

"These are the tickets for the ten new people added this year. I thought you were some amazing person."

He pointed to the boat and asked them to get on board.

Gu Beiheng grabbed Su Qi's waist and jumped up, landing on the boat. He looked at the man coldly and said:

"Don't underestimate anyone. You might not be able to afford to offend them."

Yue Jiushao followed up.

The man glanced at Yue Jiushao, who was wearing a red brocade robe and a gorgeous suit. He was a real rich man.

This outfit would cost at least several thousand taels of silver.

Comparing it to Gu Beiheng, he bet that a full set of clothes would cost at most twenty taels of silver. Looking at the hairpin on his head, it was not worth much, but the jade pendant around his waist seemed to be quite valuable.

How can we not afford to offend such a person?

The man would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.

He stopped talking and several people rowed away in the boat.

The boat sailed to a mountain wall and passed through the waterway inside. After about a cup of tea, it arrived at a pier.

Su Qi took a look and saw that the dock was full of men in tight-fitting clothes.

It seems that their martial arts skills are quite strong.

After Su Qi and the other two got ashore, the people above checked their admission tickets.

He glanced at them calmly, pointed at the bags of the three of them and asked, "Do you want to exchange chips?"

"How do I change the chips?" Su Qi couldn't help but ask. It was like a casino, and there were even chips.

"You can't just carry around gold. The chips come in denominations of fifty, one hundred, and up to ten thousand. You can exchange them for a larger denomination, and any gold you use will be deducted from the denomination."

When Su Qi heard this idea, she thought it was really advanced.

"Okay. Let's change."

"How much?"

Su Qi and Gu Beiheng thought about it and finally exchanged it for 10,000 taels of gold. Yue Jiushao was a little puzzled about their bag, as it didn't look like it contained 10,000 taels of gold.

He exchanged it for 15,000 taels of gold.

Su Qi asked the people on the shore if they could exchange chips at any time?

The people on the shore looked at the bag Su Qi was carrying, which didn't look like it contained a lot of gold.

"You can exchange it for gold anywhere. Even if you don't have any gold to borrow, someone will come to collect the debt when you return to Jinyang Prefecture. You will be charged interest every day, and the interest within ten days will not be accumulated."

Su Qi couldn't help but give a thumbs up for a moment. The auction house leader was definitely smart.
