Su Qi heard that the auction house could buy and sell things. She called the waiter over to ask a few questions. The waiter heard that Su Qi wanted to auction something.
He quickly called the steward over.
The manager was about thirty years old and dressed in formal attire.
You can tell without even looking that he is a martial arts expert and walks with the wind.
"Dear guests, I heard that you have something you want to auction?" Manager Liu of the auction house came over, slightly bent over, and stood aside.
Su Qi took out a mirror from her bag and placed it on the table.
"What do you think of this glass mirror? How does it compare to the bronze and glass mirrors we usually use?"
Manager Liu's hands were shaking slightly, and one could see the subtle wrinkles on his face without even looking in the mirror.
Can you pick up the mirror to clearly see what the person behind you is doing?
"This glass mirror is quite good. Why don't you three come with me over there and discuss it in detail?" Manager Liu knew that this thing was valuable after just one look.
There are too many rich people.
Not much new stuff.
Su Qi, Gu Beiheng and Yue Jiushao followed Manager Liu out.
Came to a building at the back.
The people on the third floor saw several people following Manager Liu away, and Manager Liu was holding an oval object in his hand.
Naturally, I became suspicious and asked someone to find out more.
When they arrived at the building next door, Su Qi took out the compass again.
This compass is more advanced and its shape is similar to that of ancient compasses.
"A compass can accurately point out the directions of east, west, south and north. You know this thing is very useful in the army." Su Qi handed the compass to Manager Liu.
Yue Jiushao swallowed his saliva.
He also wanted this good thing, so that he could have it with him when traveling through mountains and rivers in the future.
He looked at Su Qi with a resentful look, and Su Qi told him to be at ease. After leaving one for him, Yue Jiushao finally felt relieved.
Manager Liu felt even more excited when he held this thing.
"I wonder what your lowest price is?" Manager Liu wanted to take the compass and show it to his master immediately.
Su Qi chuckled, "What do you think, Manager Liu?"
Manager Liu stroked his chin and thought for a moment, his frown relaxing. "In my opinion, the starting price for the compass is five hundred taels of gold. As for the glass mirror, it's three hundred taels of gold."
If only there weren't too many inappropriate items being auctioned.
Su Qi really wanted to take out all the mirrors and compasses in the space.
"That's fine, I'll pay the price you said."
Manager Liu then discussed the starting price for the auction and the commission for their auction house. After clarifying these, he prepared to send Su Qi and the other two away.
Gu Beiheng remained silent throughout the entire process. Before leaving, he asked Manager Liu, "What's the main item being auctioned this time?"
"Fang Tian Hua Ji and a thousand-year-old snow lotus."
"Fang Tian Hua Ji? Why is this being auctioned?"
Manager Liu said with an enigmatic expression, "This Fang Tian Hua Ji was left behind by Rong Xiu, the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty, a thousand years ago. It's said to be made of black iron. Naturally, it's extremely valuable. Most of the people this time came for it."
Gu Beiheng's heart was filled with ripples. He wanted the Fang Tian Hua Ji.
His weapon on the battlefield was the Fang Tian Hua Ji. Everyone knew that Gu Beiheng was good at swordsmanship, but no one had ever seen him use the Fang Tian Hua Ji.
Su Qi, Gu Beiheng and Yue Jiushao returned to the private room.
Yue Jiushao confirmed again and again that both of these things would be given to him before he felt relieved.
Manager Liu took the things in his hand to the VIP room on the third floor, which was the box where the owner of the auction house was staying.
I knocked on the door and heard someone coming in.
Steward Liu brought in the compass and glass mirror. "Boss, these belong to Mr. and Mrs. Gu. Take a look?"
Cui Dongjia first picked up the glass mirror. This thing was fine for him. However, he was interested in the use of the compass because he could deeply please the woman.
"Are you talking about an auction?"
"Yes. The reserve price is 500 taels and 300 taels."
Cui Dongjia pondered for a moment, then set the compass aside. "Let's auction the glass mirror. Give him an extra fifty taels of gold for the compass, and tell Mr. Gu I'm keeping it as a friend."
It was said to be auctioned, but in the end he kept it.
He thought he should tell Gu Beiheng and the others.
"Understood. I'll do it right away."
"Send some snacks over." Cui Dongjia pointed to the fruit snacks on their table.
Manager Liu couldn't help but drool when he thought of those unknown fruits. "Boss, they have some good stuff. They brought strawberries, grapes, and some red fruit I don't know the name of."
“How many countries have such a person?”
A man in a purple brocade robe looked up at him and said, "I remember someone. General Gu Beiheng of the Northwest of Dashun was also surnamed Gu. However, because General Gu committed a crime, he was exiled to the southwest. I think it was Jinyang Prefecture."
"Didn't it happen just last year? Why did it develop so quickly? Or did he prepare for it in advance?" Mr. Cui called a confidant and asked him to find out the whole story.
"Manager Liu, please invite Mr. Gu and the others to the VIP room on the third floor."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
The following auction has begun.
However, they were all things that Su Qi and Gu Beiheng looked down upon. However, Yue Jiushao bought a piece of jadeite with excellent water content.
Manager Liu invited Gu Beiheng and the others to the VIP lounge on the third floor, but Gu Beiheng refused.
He and Su Qi held hands and sat in the private room on the second floor, which was also very nice.
At the last moment, the Fang Tian Hua Ji was auctioned.
From a long distance, Gu Beiheng had already taken a fancy to this Fang Tian Hua Ji.
A faint cold light flashed, and it was obvious that it was a good weapon.
"The Fang Tian Hua Ji starts at 100 taels of gold, and each bid must be no less than 30 taels of gold." A large, square-faced man on the stage demonstrated the power of the Fang Tian Hua Ji. A beautiful woman in red introduced the Fang Tian Hua Ji.
"200 taels." Someone on the third floor held up a sign.
Someone in the lobby on the first floor refused to give in and said, "400 taels."
"500 taels."
Finally, the price was called back to 1600 taels, which was already a very high price.
Gu Beiheng raised the sign and directly called out 2,000 gold.
There was an uproar in the audience.
2000 gold is very expensive, and not many people know how to use the Fang Tian Hua Ji. Most people use swords and red tassel spears.
Someone upstairs held up a sign, "3,000 taels."
Gu Beiheng raised the sign again, and the man seemed to be against Gu Beiheng.
Keep holding up the sign.
Gu Beiheng didn't give up either.
He was making a lot of money at the Soleil Palace anyway, and he had also extorted a large sum of gold from the Jade River Inn. He could afford to spend it now.
In the end, the price was called for 6,000 taels of gold.
Su Qi raised her sign and bid 10,000 taels. She was furious. If the person upstairs wanted to bid, she would bid a high price.
Upstairs seemed to have quieted down.
The auctioneer downstairs called the price for the third time and was about to drop the hammer. The man upstairs raised the bid again, 11,000 taels.
Su Qi stood up in anger and gave a thumbs-down gesture towards the VIP room upstairs. She sneered arrogantly, "If you have the guts, yell at me. Otherwise, I'll shoot you before you leave the auction house."
"15,000 taels." Su Qi was furious.
The person upstairs didn't shout, but only followed Gu Beiheng in shouting after seeing him shout a few times.
It was clearly aimed at Gu Beiheng.
In the VIP room, Long Xuancheng gestured to the person holding the sign. He, Long Xuancheng, had plenty of money. The Fang Tian Hua Ji didn't matter to anyone, but he just felt inexplicably unhappy about it.
He must not be allowed to have it.
The person who raised the sign raised it again, this time for 16,000 taels.
To be honest, it was already more valuable than the Fang Tian Hua Ji itself. Cui Dongjia and the others were just there to watch the fun, wanting to see who was challenging Gu Beiheng.
After hearing that it was Long Xuancheng, the adopted son of King Zhan, Cui Dongjia fell silent.
The adopted son of the War Prince had always been a gentle and modest young man, so why was he so fixated on Gu Beiheng this time? Perhaps there was some old grudge, as no one wanted to go against the adopted son of the War Prince.
