Chapter 36
What, void? !
Upon hearing this, the people present were immediately shocked. The prices here are soaring, and you suddenly told me that the auction items are invalid, are you kidding me?
While there was a lot of discussion in the audience, someone had already jumped out to accuse.
"Voided? You are breaking the rules. Do you still want to do this at your auction house?!" An old man in the first row stood up, pointed at the auction items and shouted angrily.
Each line has its own rules, and the rule of the auction house is that all items put on the auction table must be auctioned, no matter what price you bid at, whether it is higher than the item price or lower than the item price, as long as Pay off the bid and the item is yours, no regrets, that's the rule of the auction house.
Now the auctioneer's declaration that the auction items are invalid is undoubtedly violating this rule.
Of course, the old man didn't have good intentions. He pointed out that besides being angry about not being able to get the auction item, he also wanted to make a fortune from the auction house.
Breaking the regulations is a scandal no matter what industry it is in. Once word spreads and becomes known to others, the reputation of this store will be regarded as bad, and the reputation will be completely destroyed. No one will come to buy anything in the future. After all, since it can destroy It is stipulated that who can guarantee that this store will not do anything else.
Therefore, in order to silence the mouths of everyone present, the auction house must give up part of the benefits to everyone present to ensure that they will not spread this matter.
Naturally, the first person to point out this matter will inevitably become the first person to either offend the other party or make a fortune. This is what the old man had in mind.
As for offending the other party, I don’t seem worried about it. After all, it was the other party who was at fault first, and his identity is there. Who is he? He is Prince Xue Xing, the younger brother of Emperor Xue Ye. How can the other party kill me? .
Yes, this old man was Prince Xuexing, who had offended Tang Yin before and had just sent a bunch of gifts to compensate him. But he didn't know that he had offended Tang Yin again.
Seeing Prince Snow Star, the auctioneer bowed and apologized again: "Your Highness, it is not that we intentionally broke the rules, but the situation suddenly changed, and a certain adult ordered this auction item to be invalidated."
"A certain Lord?" Prince Snow Star snorted, "Come, tell me his name, and let me see who is so bold and dares to break the rules in front of Grand Duke Iris."
Speaking of this, Prince Snow Star began to feel proud. Grand Duke Iris was sitting in the box behind him. He was the head of the "Haolan" Chamber of Commerce in the Tiandou Empire. Someone dared to break the rules in front of him. It was simply I'm tired of living.
And I used the excuse of pointing out this matter to tell others that the Grand Duke of Iris was sitting behind me, so that they would not dare to talk nonsense. Maybe the Grand Duke of Iris would give me more rewards for my help. .
Just when Prince Snow Star was happily beginning to fantasize, the upstairs box opened with a creak, and a figure walked out, then directly crossed the railing on the second floor and fell towards the auction table.
bump!There was a loud noise, and a figure fell on the auction platform, and a deep voice sounded: "I am the one who gave the order. Do you have any opinions?"
Gah, Prince Snow Star was stunned and looked at the figure on the stage with his mouth wide open.
How... how is it possible, Grand Duke Iris? !
Prince Snow Star's face instantly turned pale. He originally wanted to flatter him, but unexpectedly he slapped him directly on the horse's hoof. The one who gave the order was actually Grand Duke Iris? !
Looking at Tang Yin, Prince Xuexing only had one thought in his mind.
――――It’s over!
Ignoring the stunned Prince Xuexing, Tang Yin turned and looked at the middle-aged man next to Tang San, Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
"Sect Master Ning, the last bid for this auction item just now was made by you. However, due to some reasons, I issued an order to invalidate the auction item. Therefore, the auction house will compensate you twice the gold coins you bid, okay?"
Ning Fengzhi stood up and bowed slightly and bowed: "Grand Duke Iris, there is no need for this. It is understandable that Fengzhi will invalidate the auction items due to some reasons. Fengzhi just clicked on the price and did not pay anything, so there is no need to compensate."
"It's okay, Sect Master Ning. After all, I broke the rules first. These money can be considered as some price for breaking the rules. As for everyone, when you leave later, the auction house will give you a gift. Please accept it. .”
With just a price, Tang Yin directly paid out 160 million gold coins, and those gifts were just a gag, telling them not to go out and talk nonsense, so Tang Yin just gave an order, and the auction house directly lost nearly 200 million gold coins.
But Tang Yin didn't care. It was only 200 million gold coins. The Haolan Chamber of Commerce's daily turnover was millions, so he didn't care about this little money at all.
The net profit of the Haolan Chamber of Commerce in a year is about more than 1 million gold coins. Although it is only more than [-] million, the net profit of the top three sects like Qibao Glazed Sect is only a few million in a year. It can be seen that the Haolan Chamber of Commerce has a net profit of more than [-] million gold coins. How profitable it is.
Although 5000% of the last year's net profit will be distributed to dozens of other miscellaneous partners, and only 200% will be left in the killing city, these four achievements are more than [-] million gold soul coins, so it is only [-] million, Tang Yin Just pretend that you didn’t make any money today.
"Okay." Ning Fengzhi reluctantly agreed. He had already said that he had done this, and if he didn't do anything else, he would not give the other party face, so Ning Fengzhi directly accepted the 160 million apology gift.
"In that case, please go back. This auction ends here, and the next auction will be held in a month." The matter has been resolved. Tang Yin signaled that everyone can leave. He still has something to do next. deal with.
For example, go fool his dear brother Tang San.
After hearing Tang Yin's words, everyone present stood up and left. Those who had photographed the items went to the backstage to get their own items and payment levels. Tang San and Xiao Wu followed Ning Fengzhi and went backstage together. After all, they were auctioning I still need to get the [-] gold coins for the hidden weapon.
"Uncle, I'm so sorry. I'd better return these ten thousand gold coins to you." After getting the money, Tang San and Xiao Wu found Ning Fengzhi and expressed that they would return the ten thousand gold coins to Ning Fengzhi. After all, Tang San also knew that he "Insinuations" are not worth ten thousand gold coins, so you can't deceive others, right?
"It's okay, I quite like this." Ning Fengzhi smiled and rejected Tang San's proposal. In his opinion, ten thousand gold coins were more than enough for this item. After all, it was an item that could greatly increase the self-protection coefficient of the auxiliary spirit master. .
After specifically asking Tang San for advice on how to use "innuendo", Ning Fengzhi turned around and looked at the waiting figure behind her.
"Your Excellency, the afternoon tea party..."
"Don't worry, I will definitely be there!"
After receiving a positive answer, Ning Fengzhi smiled and left with Bone Douluo. He wanted to bring the news back as soon as possible. After all, his disciple had been worried for several days.
After Ning Fengzhi left, Tang Yin walked towards Tang San and Xiao Wu who were also preparing to leave, "Boy, please wait a moment."
Looking at the slowly approaching figure, Tang San pulled Xiao Wu behind him and swallowed nervously.
Red, the ultimate red, with long red hair, scarlet pupils, and a red close-fitting robe, the whole person is like a ball of fire.
I just heard Uncle Ning calling the other party Grand Duke Iris. It seems that the other party should be a big noble, but I don't know why he and Xiao Wu are looking for him.
Feeling the undisguised domineering power of the other party, Tang San thought of a poem for some reason.
――――You should be a hero in life, and a hero in death...
However, Tang San was a little confused. For some reason, he always felt familiar with this figure.
"I wonder what you have to do with me and me?" Seeing that the other party was so close, Tang San had no choice but to say hello.
"Your name is Tang San?" Tang Yin looked like he didn't recognize Tang San.
"Yes." Tang San nodded, not knowing how the other party knew his name, but the next sentence made Tang San and Xiao Wu stunned.
"Your brother Tang Yin never mentioned me to you?" Tang Yin pointed at himself and said.
Tang San looked at the other party in surprise: "Do you know my brother?"
"We know each other, of course we know each other. After all, we have such a good relationship that it's like we are the same person." Tang Yin, who was fooling Tang San, was just telling lies...ah, bah, he just opened his mouth.
With that said, Tang Yin took the lead and walked outside. Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other and raised their heels.
"You two really have such a good relationship? Then why has Teacher Tang Yin never mentioned anything about him having a good friend?" Xiao Wu asked suspiciously, following Tang San.
For some reason, Xiao Wu felt familiar when looking at this person's back.
That back, that long hair, if it weren't for the different temperament, Xiao Wu would have suspected that Teacher Tang Yin was playing a trick on them.
"Well, the main reason is that our relationship is a bit complicated." Tang Yin scratched his hair, looking like he didn't know where to start.
"Complicated?" Xiao Wu raised her eyebrows. It can be complicated to any degree. Don't tell me that you were confused by Teacher Tang Yin's appearance and fell in love with him like the stupid guy in the class.
Fortunately, Tang Yin can't read minds, otherwise he would have suffered brain congestion due to anger.
"Yeah, it's a bit complicated." Tang Yin sighed. He was obviously alone, but he still had to change his face all the time. How could it not be complicated?
Following Tang Yin, Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived at the end of the corridor. A dark door appeared in front of them, and a faint fragrance spread into their nostrils.
Looking at the door, Tang San looked at the figure in front of him and sighed that this person was so extravagant. One pound of wood and one pound of gold were used to build the door. Black fragrant wood was famous. Shen, this door in front of him The gate weighed at least several hundred kilograms, which meant that the other party spent tens of thousands of gold coins on just this gate.
Reaching out and gently pushing the door open, Tang Yin waved to the two people behind him: "Come in."
Although Tang Yin may not come to this auction house once a year, there are still necessary facilities. For example, the office in front of him is specially prepared for Tang Yin at the auction house. There is usually a dedicated person responsible for cleaning, and the level of security is extremely high. , it is impossible for a casual person to even take a look at it.
After hearing Tang Yin's words, Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other again. Although they were a little confused as to why Tang Yin was looking for them, they still walked into the house obediently.
Neither Tang Yin nor Xiao Wu believed what Tang Yin said just now. The man sounded like he was very familiar with his brother, but neither Tang San nor Xiao Wu had ever heard Tang Yin mention having such a high-ranking friend. , so the two of them were still a little wary.
However, the two of them believed that person's words. After all, Tang Yin and Tang San had been separated for more than six years. They didn't know what Tang Yin had gone through in the past six years, so they had to meet some strange friends. possible.
The two of them walked into the office with conflicting moods, and then, a familiar figure made their suspicions disappear completely, and they began to believe what Tang Yin had just said.
The man who was making tea at the table was known to both Tang San and Xiao Wu. He was Guyun who was basically inseparable from Tang Yin in the academy: "Teacher Guyun, why are you here?"
Seeing Tang San and Xiao Wu, Gu Yun smiled slightly: "Here, sit down and try the tea I just made."
Ignoring Tang San and Xiao Wu's reactions, Tang Yin walked over and sat down on the sofa, placing his feet directly on the coffee table in front of him.
Tang San and Xiao Wu on the sofa opposite saw Tang Yin's movements and couldn't help but frown slightly.
They were still facing each other, and the other party actually put his feet on the coffee table. It was so rude!
Little did he know that Tang Yin did this on purpose. After all, the two of them were walking behind him just now. Although he could change his appearance and temperament, his body shape could not be changed. Therefore, in order to prevent the two of them from guessing the truth because of their familiar body shape, Tang Yin pretended to be rude so that the two would not associate him with his usual self.
Seeing Tang Yin's actions, Guyun's lips were filled with smiles. She had never seen such a rude little brother.
"Xiaosan, Xiaowu, come, drink tea." Gu Yun pushed two cups of tea in front of the two of them, and then while the two of them lowered their heads to drink tea, she gave Tang Yin a secret look and asked Tang Yin if he would The identities were revealed to the two of them.
Tang Yin shook his head slightly, and a hint of understanding appeared in Gu Yun's eyes. It seemed that there was something good to watch next.
After drinking the tea, Tang San carefully placed the expensive-looking teacup on the coffee table, then raised his head and looked at Tang Yin: "Your Excellency, the Grand Duke, what do you want from me and me?"
"Don't call him so disrespectful, just call me brother." Tang Yin, who was lying on the sofa with Ge You, waved his hand, "After all, your brother and I have such a good relationship, I can't bear to hear you using honorifics."
"Pfft!" A chuckle came from the side. Tang San and Xiao Wu turned around and found Teacher Guyun covering her mouth and laughing softly, as if they had seen something very funny.
Seeing Guyun who was almost exposed, Tang Yin glared at her, "Am I right?"
Seeing the dissatisfied look in her younger brother's eyes, Guyun hurriedly kept her face straight, but couldn't help but laugh again.
It's so funny. In order to deceive the two little guys, the younger brother actually said that he and I have a very good relationship. This serious lie is really funny.
"Still laughing!" Tang Yin glared at Guyun again. Only then did Guyun remember that the two little guys were still facing each other and hurriedly stopped laughing.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Xiao Wu looked at Guyun, a little suspicious that Tang Yin was really lying to them, otherwise why would Teacher Guyun laugh out loud.
"Ahem, it's nothing." Gu Yun saw the disbelieving looks in the two little guys' eyes. In order to fear that the younger brother's deception would be exposed, she hurriedly made up a reason: "The reason why the teacher laughed is that the relationship between the two of them is not like his." That’s so well said.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Guyun screamed secretly, while Tang Yin looked at Guyun with black lines on his head.
Just now I managed to trick the two little guys outside, and now you've come back to me again.
Tang San and Xiao Wu turned their eyes to Tang Yin again, secretly thinking that this guy had really lied to them just now.
As expected, all the adults these days are bald, and their hearts are too dirty!
Looking at the suspicious eyes of the two little guys, Tang Yin felt that cold sweat was almost falling on his forehead. He originally just wanted to deceive the mistress, but he didn't expect such twists and turns.
In order to prevent the truth from being exposed, Tang Yin hurriedly used his brain and thought of a perfect excuse in a few breaths.
"Don't look at me like this. I'm not lying to you. Didn't I just tell you on the way here that my relationship with Tang Yin is a bit complicated?" Tang Yin retracted his feet, sat upright, and reached out to grab his hair twice more. .
The effect of this disguise medicine is very good, but I am allergic to it when I use it, and my scalp always feels itchy. Tang Yin decided to ask the pharmacists to perfect the formula next time he returns to the Killing City, and at least he can come up with it. He won't be allergic to the medicine.
Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at Tang Yin quietly, wondering what excuses he could make up.
"How should I put it?" Tang Yin continued to scratch his head: "The reason why your brother and I have a complicated relationship starts with our positions."
"I believe you saw it when you entered the auction house. This auction house belongs to the 'Haolan Chamber of Commerce', and your brother and I are both members of the Chamber of Commerce, but we are responsible for different areas."
"The top leader of the Chamber of Commerce is the president. The president divided the business of the Chamber of Commerce into three areas and let three people manage them respectively. They are also three spokespersons. These three people are me, your brother and the 'Grand Duke of Bauhinia' , I am responsible for the business of the Tiandou Empire, Grand Duke Bauhinia is responsible for the business of the Star Luo Empire, and your brother is responsible for the remaining small countries and unowned areas."
"The three of us have been learning how to manage the Chamber of Commerce together for several years after entering the Chamber of Commerce, so we can be said to be very good friends. However, after the regions were assigned, we became competitors, so I say that our relationship is very close. complex."
"In business, the three of us have been fighting openly and secretly, but when we get together in private, we talk about everything. As for you Tang San, I heard him talk about you at one of the gatherings, so our relationship Both friends and rivals, that’s why I say it’s complicated.”
Tang San and Xiao Wu stared at Tang Yin with expressions of disbelief. After all, Tang Yin had never told these little guys about the "Haolan Chamber of Commerce" before.
Seeing the doubtful looks in their eyes, Tang Yin knew that the two little guys were not that easy to deceive, but if one trick didn't work, he had another trick. After all, there was someone beside him who could make the two little guys believe more easily. Can help him "prove".
"If you don't believe me, ask Guyun. She is Tang Yin's assistant. If you don't believe me, you should believe her." Tang Yin stretched out his hand and pointed at Guyun. Guyun, who was watching the excitement at the side, was stunned. He didn't expect that his younger brother would cause trouble. , directly pulling himself into the water.
Seeing the eyes of the two little guys turning towards her, Gu Yun, who was almost laughing in the corner where the three of them were not paying attention, quickly calmed her expression and nodded lightly to Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Although Guyun nodded, Tang San and Xiao Wu were still a little suspicious, but this was not the most important thing now. The first thing they had to figure out was what the other party wanted from them.
"Your Excellency, what exactly do you want to see us for this time? Can you please feel it."
Hearing Tang San's cold tone, Tang Yin knew that the two little guys were still suspicious, but it didn't matter.
Why are you looking for the two of them?What else can I do, of course, give them money!
He had seen it at the door before. The mistress who bought jewelry worth tens of thousands of gold coins actually thought about it for a long time, and even went to sell hidden weapons. How could he bear this tone?
He was also negligent before, thinking that the little guys had nothing to use money for, so each person only gave a few tens of thousands.
Although Tang San took the most, more than a hundred thousand, these more than a hundred thousand would really be useless if something happened, so Tang Yin was prepared to give Tang San more.
However, giving money directly was afraid that Tang San would develop the habit of enjoying leisure and not working hard, so Tang Yin thought about it and finally came up with a good way, which was to let Tang San work to make money.
As for how to work, isn’t there a ready excuse?
"What do you want me to do for you?" Tang Yin lay down again, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and put his feet on the coffee table, "I'm quite interested in the thing you auctioned."
"Are you talking about insinuations?" Tang San frowned and looked at Tang Yin, but he didn't expect that the other party was looking for him for this purpose.
"Yes, that's it." Tang Yin put down his feet and sat up: "How to sell it? Also, do you have other types?"
"Yes, but I wonder why you are buying these?" Tang San frowned and looked at Tang Yin. He was ready to inquire about the other party's purpose. After all, the other party was his brother's competitor. Knowing the other party's purpose, he could still tell his brother the information. , so that he is prepared to deal with any eventuality.
"It's good to have it." Tang Yin smiled, "I'm going to buy some equipment for my men who escort goods. After all, this kind of thing is small and small, and it can be used by surprise. It is absolutely perfect for self-protection at critical moments."
Tang San didn't speak, he was considering whether the other party's words were true or false.
He secretly raised his head and glanced at Gu Yun, and saw that Gu Yun nodded to him. It seemed that Gu Yun also agreed to this business.
Although Guyun nodded, Tang San was still hesitant. What if Guyun betrayed his brother?
Seeing that Tang San was still hesitating, Tang Yin was dissatisfied: "What, are you afraid that I will use it against your brother?"
Tang San said nothing, looking straight at Tang Yin, making it clear that he thought this was what he meant.
Tang Yin couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect that the mistress would suspect that he wanted to deal with him. He was really speechless.
Scratching his head, Tang Yin slapped the table directly: "Okay, let's discuss the items and prices for the time being. Then you go back and ask your brother. If he agrees, we can confirm the transaction. How about that?"
Tang San hesitated, but finally nodded.
"Okay, now that everything is settled, tell me first, besides that insinuation, do you have any other weapons like this? If so, what is their level?" Seeing that Tang San finally agreed, Tang Yin quickly prepared to use it. All matters were settled immediately.
Tang San thought for a while and took out three hidden weapons from the soul guide. In addition to the innuendo that was auctioned just now, there are also sleeve arrows and back crossbows.
Tang Yin picked them up one by one and looked at them, and they were indeed ingenious. Thinking that several of the little guys had received hidden weapons as gifts from Tang San, but not himself, Tang Yin's whole body turned gray, feeling that he had really failed as a brother.
Shuai Shuai Tou shook this thought out of his mind and looked up at Tang San: "How to sell these things?"
"This..." Tang San was in a dilemma. The materials for these hidden weapons were not expensive, and the total price was only a few dozen gold coins. The real trouble was the forging and assembly of the parts. This stage was the most labor-intensive. , so Tang San really didn't have a prepared figure for the prices of these three hidden weapons.
At this moment, Guyun secretly raised a finger towards Tang San and opened her mouth to make a "ten thousand" mouth shape.
Ten thousand?Tang San was a little dazed. Isn't selling these items for ten thousand a bit too dark?
At the critical moment, Xiao Wu pinched Tang San. Tang San looked back at Xiao Wu, then calmed down and said to Tang Yin: "Three pieces for a set, ten thousand!"
Although it was a bit dark, with this money, at least he would be able to buy something Xiao Wu likes next time he saw it, and the person opposite him was his brother's competitor, so he would not cheat anyone.
"Ten thousand, are you sure?" Tang Yin looked at Tang San with a strange expression.
He just sent a message to Guyun, asking her to signal Tang San to sell one piece for ten thousand, but he didn't expect Tang San to directly sell three pieces for ten thousand. I wonder what Tang San will think when he knows the truth.
"Sure!" Tang San nodded.
"Okay, I want five hundred sets!" Tang Yin reached out and threw a card to Tang San. The number on it clearly told Tang San that there were 500 million in this card.
"I'll give you the money first. After your brother agrees to the deal, you can help me make five hundred sets. After you're done, just ask Gu Yun to contact me. I will arrange for someone to accept it."
Looking at the card in his hand, Tang San was a little confused: "You just gave it to me directly, aren't you afraid that I will run away?"
Tang Yin looked at Tang San and laughed: "What are you afraid of? If you run away, won't you still have your brother? He can't run away."
After sending away Tang San and Xiao Wu who were still a little dazed, Tang Yin couldn't help but start complaining to Guyun after closing the door: "Fortunately, I got through it, sister, you almost ruined my plan just now, you know? "
Ignoring the younger brother's complaints, Gu Yun burst out laughing: "You and Tang Yin have a very good relationship, and they are still competitors, hahahaha..."
"Still laughing, is it easy for me to lie to someone?"
In the house, Tang Yin and Guyun's play continued for a long time.
At the door of the auction house, Tang San and Xiao Wu were looking at the "gift" that the auction house claimed was an apology to them with their mouths wide open.
In front of the two of them, an iron cage that had been opened stood quietly, and in the cage, a girl with a cat and a cat tail was huddled in the corner, looking at the auction house employee standing outside the cage in fear.
――――This is the gift that Tang San and Xiao Wu received, the Inhuman girl as the final auction!
"This..." Looking at the cage in front of them and the girl inside, Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
When they went out and heard the staff mention a gift, the two of them thought it was some small gift, but they didn't expect it to be such a "gift."
The two of them also watched the auction situation at that time. If the Grand Duke of Iris hadn't suddenly jumped out, the auction price of this girl would have definitely exceeded 100 million. In other words, the other party directly gave this million-dollar Inhuman girl directly to him. Got them...
What should they do? They have no way to deal with the girl in front of them, and there are so many people in the auction house eyeing the girl. Once someone finds out that the girl is in their hands, they are just students and they can't resist the snatching of those people. .
"Brother... what should I do?" Xiao Wu looked at the girl in front of him with straight eyes, feeling that the thoughts in his mind were extremely chaotic.
"I...I don't know either." Tang San swallowed and asked slightly tentatively: "How about we return this 'gift'?"
Unexpectedly, Tang San's words were directly heard by the auction house staff on the side. A staff member immediately stood up with a smile, "I'm sorry, you two, this 'gift' was specially taken care of by that adult. The auction house It will not be accepted, and no one dares to accept it, so this 'gift' cannot be returned."
Hearing the staff's words, Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other speechlessly, and then Tang San asked tentatively: "Then... let's go talk to the Grand Duke of Iris and ask him to give this 'gift' Take it back?"
This time other staff members came to Tang San together, blocking their way to the auction house, "Sorry, you two, the gentleman has also explained it. He has important things to deal with next, and no one can Excuse me, so we can’t let you two in, otherwise we will all be punished.”
"Then what should we do?" Tang San shouted in a panic. He and Xiao Wu had no good way to deal with this girl, and this girl also represented a certain danger, and he was even less likely to accept it.
The staff also noticed Tang San's worries, thought for a long time, and finally came up with a compromise: "You two, how about this? You two, give me your address, and the auction house will arrange for someone to take this item to you in the afternoon." "Gifts are given to you two. I believe that with the deterrent power of the Haolan Chamber of Commerce, which is a powerful force in our auction house, no one with an open eye will dare to do anything to this auction item."
"This... okay." Tang San thought for a moment, and realized that this was indeed the best way, so he had no choice but to agree, otherwise he couldn't just leave this girl here and let her fend for herself. His conscience prevented him from doing such a thing.
"Third brother, why did you agree? We can't deal with her at all." Hearing Tang San's agreement, Xiao Wu didn't know what she thought of, and she became slightly jealous.
"I know we can't handle it, but..." Tang San scratched his head and thought for a moment, "How about handing her over to my brother when the time comes?"
"Teacher Tang Yin?" Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Tang San didn't have any thoughts about this girl. After thinking about it for a while, he still agreed with Tang San's solution.
Tang Yin never expected that the "gift" that was originally intended to be given to Tang San to enrich his harem would actually end up on his head.
At noon, Tang Yin returned to the Duke's Palace and took a nap after enjoying a lunch cooked by Gu Yun. Then he slept for about two hours and was woken up by Gu Yun, reminding him that it was almost time and it was time to go to see the prince. Xue Qinghe’s tea party.
Tea party, also called afternoon tea party, is one of the leisure and entertainment methods thought up by idle aristocrats just like the previous life in the European Middle Ages.
The afternoon tea party in the previous life has a long history and far-reaching influence. Even after hundreds of years, European countries are still affected by this habit.
When many people first arrive in Europe, they always think that the local people eat very little food and feel that they are not full. A piece of steak, a hamburger or just a few sausages will make up lunch or dinner. This is better than thinking that Europeans eat a lot of food. Small.
But this is a wrong view.
The reason why Europeans eat less dinner is because of their afternoon tea culture.
In the Middle Ages in Europe, those idle nobles would only eat a small meal at noon, and then when they were almost digested, it was time for afternoon tea.
Afternoon tea is not just tea, but also a variety of refreshments. While drinking tea and having refreshments, you can discuss some gossip with other people. This is the afternoon tea party of European aristocrats in the Middle Ages.
The afternoon tea party can last two or three hours. After filling your stomach with tea, it's time for dinner.
At this time, when they are basically full, their dinner portion will be very small, so this is why people from other regions think that Europeans have small appetites.
In fact, they ended up eating less to reserve their stomachs for afternoon tea, and eating less at night was because they were basically full at afternoon tea, so they ate less for dinner.
I have said before that Douluo Continent is very similar to the European Middle Ages in its previous life, so there will naturally be no shortage of entertainment such as afternoon tea parties to pass the time. After all, no matter which world it is, there will be no shortage of people who have enough to eat and nothing to do.
Arriving at the gate, there was already a luxurious carriage waiting. Although the Prince's Mansion is also next to the palace and is only two or three miles away from the Duke's Mansion, Tang Yin still needs to go there by carriage. After all, this is the place for those who have nothing to do. The rules established by bored nobles.
When they arrived at the door of the Prince's Mansion, they saw Prince Xue Qinghe standing at the door, waiting to greet the "Grand Duke Iris".
Of course Xue Qinghe had not been waiting here all the time, but because the door of the Duke's Mansion could be seen from the door of the Prince's Mansion, it was estimated that someone had reported it the moment Tang Yin set off. The two people who received the notice came out directly, which was just in time. Arrive at the door before Tang Yin arrives.
The carriage stopped, and Tang Yin, who was dressed in fiery red, refused the help of the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion, and directly put his arm around Gu Yun's waist and got out of the carriage. Following him was the titled Douluo who had no mission.
"Welcome, Your Excellency the Grand Duke, it's not easy to meet you once." With her right hand on her chest, our girl Qian Renxue saluted directly to Tang Yin, then stood up and said to Tang Yin with a smile.
"Your Highness, how could you do this? To be honest, I should be the one to give you the gift." Tang Yin let go of Gu Yun's waist, took two steps forward and patted Qian Renxue, who was disguised as the prince, on the shoulder.
"Hahaha, the Duke is too outspoken to say this." Seeing Tang Yin's actions, Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile.
The movements of "Grand Duke Iris" were not unreasonable at all. It seemed that he was also tempted by this opportunity. With his support, Qian Renxue felt that the least he could do was win the Tiandou Empire. There is a [-]% success rate.
"Grand Duke, please." Qian Renxue made a gesture of invitation, then affectionately took Tang Yin's hand and walked inside together, walking into the eyes of a large group of nobles in the palace.
Xue Qinghe's affectionate gestures not only expressed goodwill to Tang Yin, but also showed it to the nobles, telling them that Grand Duke Iris would also become one of his supporters.
What is it that the princes want to compete for the top?It's not just the number of supporters behind him. With more support, there will naturally be more money and troops than others, and the chance of victory will be much greater. Therefore, Xue Qinghe's move directly conveys a meaning to those nobles.
―――Grand Duke Iris has already supported me, why don’t you come over and kneel down to lick me.
Indoors, Ning Fengzhi, who was dealing with various nobles, saw the prince and Grand Duke Iris coming in hand in hand, and couldn't help but reveal a heartfelt smile.
Among the three upper sects, the Haotian Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and the Qibao Glazed Sect, the weakest among them is the Qibao Glazed Sect.
Why?
Because all the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are auxiliary soul masters, unlike the other two sects who are all fighting talents and cannot provide strong protection to their adherents, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has the fewest adherents.
Fewer dependents means less available resources, which is why Ning Fengzhi believes that the Qibao Glazed Sect has been suppressed by the other two sects in terms of development.
In order to solve this problem, Ning Fengzhi was not as aloof as the other two sects. Instead, he lowered his profile and directly participated in the struggle for power in the secular world. He specially accepted Xue Qinghe, his favorite among the four princes of the Tiandou Empire, as his student.
Later, Xue Qinghe lived up to expectations and became the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire. If he could ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in the future, then the entire resources of the Tiandou Empire would only be used by the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
With the support of an empire, Ning Fengzhi is confident that the Qibao Glazed Sect will surpass the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and even...
Reproduce the scene of Haotian Sect before it was sealed as a sect!
Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi felt hot inside.
After apologizing to the nobleman chatting in front of him, Ning Fengzhi walked towards Tang Yin who came side by side with Xue Qinghe, "Your Excellency, welcome. I hope you can enjoy this tea party."
"Thank you, Sect Master Ning. I think so too." Tang Yin laughed and said hello to Ning Fengzhi. Then, accompanied by the two of them, he greeted the nobles present who knew or didn't know each other, as if he was He looks like a die-hard supporter of the prince.
Is Tang Yin going to support Qian Renxue as emperor?
of course not!
While greeting those nobles, Tang Yin smiled evilly in his heart. The higher he was held, the harder he was thrown. The more harmonious he was now, the greater the blow would be to these nobles when the talks collapsed.
As for making Qian Renxue the emperor, what a joke!
Not to mention that Qian Renxue is very ambitious and difficult to control. The key point is that she is from Wuhun Palace. Once she takes over the Tiandou Empire and has the support of an empire, she will still be able to carry out her plan against Wuhun Palace. Damn it, you might as well go to bed early and go back to Holy Soul Village to live in seclusion.
Therefore, in Tang Yin's heart, the best candidate to ascend the throne is Xue Beng. As for the other two princes, they will probably die after this negotiation. When the time comes, he will reveal Qian Renxue. Emperor Xue Ye, who has only Xue Beng's son, will naturally Pass the position to the Avalanche, perfect!
The wilted Tang Yin was already setting a trap for Qian Renxue.
After chatting with a bunch of nobles for a while, and getting familiar with each other, Tang Yin was taken into the inner hall. The people here were all die-hard followers of the prince, and you couldn't get in if you didn't have a high title.
Tang Yin's current title is Grand Duke, and the only people with higher titles than him in the entire empire are princes and emperors. In other words, a title obtained through trade allows Tang Yin to enter the upper echelons of the Tiandou Empire, the real core level.
"Good day, everyone." There were only five or six figures in the inner hall. Their titles were either Grand Duke or Prince. They were considered the handful of people at the top of the power pyramid of the Tiandou Empire. Tang Yin greeted them with a smile. , then directly found a seat to sit down, and unceremoniously raised his legs and placed them on the legs of Gu Yun who was sitting next to him, asking her to beat his legs.
The titled Douluo who was responsible for protecting Tang Yin stood behind Tang Yin, folding his hands in front of his lower abdomen, looking at his nose and heart, as if he was a statue that didn't understand.
In addition to this Titled Douluo, Tang Yin also saw another blue friendly logo on the system map, which was larger than the Titled Douluo behind him.
Taking a peek, Tang Yin caught everyone present.
There was nothing to pay attention to among the several big nobles. What really caught Tang Yin's attention were the two people standing behind Ning Fengzhi.
In addition to the Bone Douluo whom I had seen last time, there was also an old man with sword-like eyebrows. No need to guess, he knew that this must be Sword Douluo. He brought two titled Douluo with him. It seemed that Ning Fengzhi was very interested in this time. The tea party is really important.
Several nobles just frowned at Tang Yin's arrogant actions, but no one dared to stand up and point out Tang Yin's rudeness.
They were here today to discuss how to make Xue Qinghe ascend the throne, not to antagonize the boss. Naturally, no one was willing to do such an offending thing.
The most important thing is that in the past few years, dozens of noble families were killed by the people in front of them, and those blood-stained scenes still seemed like yesterday to them.
Among the nobles killed by the "Grand Duke of Iris" at that time were two grand dukes, five marquises and more than ten earls.
After killing so many nobles in the country, he was not punished by Emperor Xueye. Instead, Emperor Xueye took care of his close associates and heirs not to provoke this new lunatic.
Who knows what other cards he has in his hands that can make the Emperor so fearful? If you provoke him, it might become one of his mass murder resumes.
The few dukes present did not speak, and the prince also did not speak. After all, no one dared to bet on whether the madman in front of him dared to kill the prince. With the emperor's attitude, if he killed him, it would be in vain, so wouldn't their death be in vain? Yet?
They haven't enjoyed enough of the wealthy life, so why would they risk their own lives on what the other person thinks.
bump!The door was closed, and the noise outside the house was completely cut off, which also marked the official start of this interest distribution meeting.
"Everyone, Qinghe is deeply honored that you can come to Qinghe's tea party this time." Our prince 'Xue Qinghe' stood up first and bowed to everyone, and then officially opened the secret conversation.
"I believe everyone knows that my father has been ill recently, and there are even rumors that he is terminally ill. These are all nonsense. Qinghe hereby asks everyone not to believe these absurd rumors." Those who heard this said Everyone nodded, saying that they would not believe these rumors at all, and how could these nonsense disturb them.
This is just a scene, what is going to be said next is the real content.
Seeing everyone's performance, our "Prince" nodded with satisfaction, and then turned into a sad expression at the next moment: "Qinghe knows that everyone will not believe these rumors, but the eldest brother and the third brother were betrayed by someone with ulterior motives. I was deceived and mistakenly believed their words, thinking that my father was terminally ill, and even openly led troops towards the imperial capital without my father's orders, which really made Qinghe heartbroken!"
Leading troops?Tang Yin tried hard not to laugh with a straight face. The eldest prince and the third prince did indeed leave the fiefdom and lead people towards the imperial capital without the order of Emperor Xueye's recall. However, the third prince only led a mere 300 cavalry, and The eldest prince brought even fewer people, less than [-] people, but when it comes to your mouth, it feels like he is leading an army.
Sure enough, what Mother Zhang said is right, the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying.
"How is this possible!" Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, a prince slapped the table with a look of indignation, "Leaving the fiefdom without His Majesty's order, and even openly leading troops to the imperial capital, how is this different from rebellion?!"
"Yes, that's right!" Everyone on the side responded.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, since the eldest prince and the third prince are like this, we will definitely do our best to defend the imperial capital and prevent the evil plan from succeeding!" An archduke stood up and said, this was to discuss how many troops we should send if Emperor Xue Ye passes away. They did not make a will for Xue Qinghe to succeed to the throne, so they were ready to directly raise troops to seize power, directly kill those who threatened Xue Qinghe's succession, and then allow Xue Qinghe to successfully ascend the throne.
"Hey, thank you all, but the Imperial Capital is vast. If you want to defend the Imperial Capital, you will need a large number of soldiers." His Royal Highness still looked miserable, but his words were asking how many people they could spare.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have five hundred soldiers, six soul emperors, and one soul saint at your disposal!"
"I have eight hundred soldiers, eight Soul Emperors, and two Soul Saints at your Highness's disposal..."
A group of nobles reported the number of private soldiers in their hands and the number of soul masters they had recruited. Each one of them gave up almost all their wealth. After all, if Xue Qinghe can really ascend the throne this time, the greater the contribution, they will divide the cake. The share occupied will also be larger.
After everyone revealed the number of people they could support Xue Qinghe, our Crown Prince turned his attention to Tang Yin, who had not spoken yet: "I wonder how many people the Grand Duke is willing to send to 'defend' the imperial capital?"
Everyone else's eyes also turned to Tang Yin. They also wanted to know how many people Tang Yin could bring out. After all, this man was no ordinary person.
"Five Title Douluo, thirty Soul Douluo!" Tang Yin reported the answer that made other nobles take a breath of air as soon as he opened his mouth, but made our Crown Prince smile.
Not to mention five titled Douluo, even two or three Qian Renxue felt that she was sure to win. Although her grandfather Qian Daoliu arranged several titled Douluo for her to assist her, they were all powers that could not see the light of day. , it is impossible to use it in public.
If a force is really used out of necessity, then Ning Fengzhi and the two titled Douluo behind him will definitely find out the clues. When the time comes, her plan to plot against the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect in addition to the plan against the Tiandou Empire will definitely fail, so it is not a last resort. Qian Renxue would never use them in this situation.
Originally, what they lacked was the high-end combat power that could completely suppress the scene. With the presence of these five titled Douluo, the entire plan would be completely flawless!
While she was delighted that Tang Yin could bring out so many people, Qian Renxue was once again wary of the legendary organization behind Tang Yin.
Everyone present had information about the Grand Duke Iris, and they all knew that he was just the spokesperson of the "Haolan Chamber of Commerce" in the Tiandou Empire.
It's really terrifying that a Chamber of Commerce organization can produce five titled Douluo and thirty Soul Douluo!
The Wuhun Hall of the Chamber of Commerce has never stopped investigating, but what can be found is very limited. This is the first organization that can prevent the Wuhun Hall from getting to the bottom of the investigation.
Wuhundian only knew that this chamber of commerce seemed to have appeared overnight. In a short period of time, more than a hundred branches had appeared, and their footprints were all over the continent.
As for where the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce is and who the boss is, they have absolutely no idea.
In order to find out the truth, they also tried to arrest several middle-level personnel of the chamber of commerce, trying to find out the internal information of the chamber of commerce, but in the end they all failed because these middle-level personnel only had a partial understanding of the internal situation of the chamber of commerce.
Later, Wuhundian turned its attention to the senior personnel of the Chamber of Commerce, but encountered greater trouble during the arrest. These senior personnel turned out to be all people who were not afraid of death, and even had a strange fanaticism about death. , every time they were arrested, they either died together or all they got was corpses, not a single one alive.
Later, the Chamber of Commerce probably also noticed this situation and began to change its direction and win over some high-level officials of Wuhun Palace to cooperate and let them protect the Chamber of Commerce.
Under the trend of profit, many high-level officials of Wuhun Palace fell into the trap one after another and became the protective umbrella of the Chamber of Commerce. They banned Wuhun Palace from targeting the Chamber of Commerce again.
Qian Renxue didn't know how the incident would develop later, but seeing that "Grand Duke Iris" could appear so blatantly, she knew that the top brass of Wuhun Palace had probably reached some kind of agreement with the Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, when she asked Tang Yin, she was somewhat tentative. As a result, the other party was able to produce five Titled Douluo and thirty Soul Douluo in one breath. Her evaluation of the Chamber of Commerce was already huge, at least... No less than the behemoths of the above three sects.
"Man, I can take it out, but I don't know what I can get?" Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince's happy look, Tang Yin asked a question that made Qian Renxue look embarrassed.
This kind of distribution of interests was discussed in private, but the other party directly put it out in the open. It was really a bit...
Made me look bad!
"What can you get?" Qian Renxue sat back on the chair and looked directly at Tang Yin: "I can make you go further!"
"I'm already a Grand Duke now. What's more? Prince?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows in surprise. Is that all?
If it was just the prince's position, he could have asked Emperor Xue Ye for it, instead of helping the other party to rebel and then getting the prince's position. The other party only gave him the prince's position. Isn't it a bit too low?
"No, what I am giving you is not an insincere condition like a prince. What I am going to give you is the right to develop!" His Highness the Crown Prince's words were like a bomb thrown into the water, causing an uproar.
The right to develop, as the name suggests, allows the other party to open up territory and expand the territory, and the land conquered will belong to the other party. This is completely the right to split the soil and seal the king.
The founding ancestors of the major principalities under the Tiandou Empire were all generals who followed the first emperor of the Tiandou Empire. After the first emperor ascended the throne, they were granted the title of Duke and were given the right to develop, and then they laid down foundations around the Tiandou Empire. A large piece of land, the founder of the country.
Although you are nominally a vassal state of the empire, your rights are controlled by the empire, and you have to pay a part of the annual tribute, but within the principality, you are the emperor and can do whatever you want.
Therefore, the right to develop has always been the most desired existence of countless nobles. After all, becoming the emperor is the goal that many families have been busy with their whole lives.
However, as the world became more peaceful later, the emperors who did not want to provoke war no longer had the right to develop when they rewarded their nobles. This has also become a regret for countless families.
Unexpectedly, they heard the words "right to develop" today. The nobles present looked at Tang Yin, wondering how he would choose.
Unexpectedly, they heard a sneer: "Pioneering rights? Oh, Your Highness, your condition is too insincere."
What? !The nobles present looked at Tang Yin in surprise. He was not satisfied with the development rights. What did he want?
"Your Majesty the Grand Duke, what do you mean?" Qian Renxue looked at Tang Yin with a gloomy face. She was not satisfied with the development rights, and this appetite was too much!
Taking his feet back from Guyun's legs, Tang Yin looked at the prince with a arrogant smile on his face: "The right to develop is not to allow me to open up territory for the Tiandou Empire. A blank check would be too insincere. Alright."
"Then what do you want?" It was Ning Fengzhi who spoke this time. Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo, who were closing their eyes and concentrating behind him, also opened their eyes at the same time, their gazes compelling.
Upon noticing the movements of the two men, the titled Douluo behind Tang Yin also opened his eyes, his hands hanging by his sides, ready to take action at any time.
"What do I want?" Tang Yin opened his arms and made a hug gesture, "I want half of the Tiandou Empire!"
"What?!" The nobles present were frightened. Half of the territory was covered by their mouths. The other party really dared to say that.
"Impossible!" His Royal Highness slapped the table and stood up, anger rising on his face.
"That means there's nothing to talk about?" Tang Yin stood up directly, stretched out his hand to pull Guyun up, and was about to get up and leave.
As a result, as soon as he took two steps, two figures stood in front of him.
"Your Excellency the Grand Duke, your conditions have exceeded our expectations, so please forgive us for not being able to agree. Otherwise, you can change the conditions."
Ning Fengzhi's voice sounded behind him. Looking at Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo who were blocking him, Tang Yin turned around and looked at Ning Fengzhi and smiled, "What, you're going to be tough if you can't do it softly?"
"The Grand Duke was joking, Fengzhi just thought we could talk some more." Ning Fengzhi showed a gentle smile, but the light in the corners of his eyes could not be concealed.
"What if I have to leave?" Tang Yin didn't care at all about Ning Fengzhi's threat. Although he had only one titled Douluo behind him, don't forget that there was another person in the room who was more serious than the one behind him. The guy is still a powerful presence.
Ning Fengzhi didn't say anything after hearing Tang Yin's words, but the soul rings that lit up on Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo behind him said everything.
The Titled Douluo who was responsible for protecting Tang Yin also showed his soul ring. Although the three Titled Douluo did not release their own soul power, the strong pressure already made several nobles present swallow their saliva.
"It seems you think you've got me?" Tang Yin strolled up to Ning Fengzhi and showed a bright smile.
"That's not the case. It's just one against two. Fengzhi thinks his side still has an advantage." Ning Fengzhi's smile remained gentle.
"Really?" Tang Yin pointed at Ning Fengzhi's neck, where a dagger appeared bit by bit.
"This..." Ning Fengzhi looked at the dagger around his neck in surprise. There was actually another person in the room. Why didn't Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo notice it? !
The two Douluo Gu and Jian were also surprised to see the figure slowly appearing behind Ning Fengzhi. They didn't even notice each other!
What does this mean? It means that this figure is stronger than the two of them!
"'Shadow', Martial Spirit Shadow, a level 98 agility-attack titled Douluo." The figure behind Ning Fengzhi said calmly. It was the 'Shadow' sent by Tang Chen to monitor Guyun.
Although he wanted to continue to lurk, the "King" was in danger. If the "King" was harmed because he continued to lurk, he would definitely be punished if he went back, so he could only devote himself to helping Tang Yin.
Hearing the opponent's self-destruction of soul power level, which was as high as 98, Ning Fengzhi completely lost all other thoughts and looked at Tang Yin with a smile, "Your Excellency, you win!"
After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Tang Yin waved his hand: "'Shadow', let him go."
After hearing Tang Yin's words, the shadow disappeared quietly. Except for Tang Yin, who had the system map, no one knew where the shadow was now.
Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo quickly came behind Ning Fengzhi and looked around cautiously to prevent the shadow from appearing again and hurting Ning Fengzhi.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Tang Yin turned to look at Qian Renxue, who had a bitter look on his face, and slightly bent down in front of her: "I am a businessman, so I naturally pay attention to maximizing profits. Someone used to use one-third of the Tiandou Empire. He wanted me to help him as a condition of owning his territory, but I didn't agree. Originally, I thought His Highness the Crown Prince would be more sincere, but unfortunately I was wrong."
"Next, I will wait at the Duke's Palace. If His Highness the Crown Prince shows enough sincerity, I might as well help you." As he said that, Tang Yin stretched out his fingers to lift His Highness the Crown Prince's chin and looked at her face carefully.
After entering like this, Qian Renxue was shy and afraid that Tang Yin would notice her disguise, so she turned her face away from Tang Yin's fingers.
Seeing the blush on Qian Renxue's face, Tang Yin couldn't help but sigh that Qian Renxue's disguise was really magical, and he didn't even see anything about the disguise.
But think about it, if Qian Renxue's disguise wasn't so magical, how could she have deceived Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluo Gu and Jian. After all, these two people have very vicious eyes. As long as there is the slightest abnormality, the three of them will notice it. .
Looking at the blushing girl Qian Renxue, Tang Yin laughed and walked towards the door, "Your Highness, there is no need to be like this, after all..."
bump!With a loud noise, Tang Yin kicked the originally closed solid wood door into a pile of fragments, causing the nobles in the garden outside the house to scream.
"After all, you are not my type, hahahaha..."
(End of this chapter)
What, void? !
Upon hearing this, the people present were immediately shocked. The prices here are soaring, and you suddenly told me that the auction items are invalid, are you kidding me?
While there was a lot of discussion in the audience, someone had already jumped out to accuse.
"Voided? You are breaking the rules. Do you still want to do this at your auction house?!" An old man in the first row stood up, pointed at the auction items and shouted angrily.
Each line has its own rules, and the rule of the auction house is that all items put on the auction table must be auctioned, no matter what price you bid at, whether it is higher than the item price or lower than the item price, as long as Pay off the bid and the item is yours, no regrets, that's the rule of the auction house.
Now the auctioneer's declaration that the auction items are invalid is undoubtedly violating this rule.
Of course, the old man didn't have good intentions. He pointed out that besides being angry about not being able to get the auction item, he also wanted to make a fortune from the auction house.
Breaking the regulations is a scandal no matter what industry it is in. Once word spreads and becomes known to others, the reputation of this store will be regarded as bad, and the reputation will be completely destroyed. No one will come to buy anything in the future. After all, since it can destroy It is stipulated that who can guarantee that this store will not do anything else.
Therefore, in order to silence the mouths of everyone present, the auction house must give up part of the benefits to everyone present to ensure that they will not spread this matter.
Naturally, the first person to point out this matter will inevitably become the first person to either offend the other party or make a fortune. This is what the old man had in mind.
As for offending the other party, I don’t seem worried about it. After all, it was the other party who was at fault first, and his identity is there. Who is he? He is Prince Xue Xing, the younger brother of Emperor Xue Ye. How can the other party kill me? .
Yes, this old man was Prince Xuexing, who had offended Tang Yin before and had just sent a bunch of gifts to compensate him. But he didn't know that he had offended Tang Yin again.
Seeing Prince Snow Star, the auctioneer bowed and apologized again: "Your Highness, it is not that we intentionally broke the rules, but the situation suddenly changed, and a certain adult ordered this auction item to be invalidated."
"A certain Lord?" Prince Snow Star snorted, "Come, tell me his name, and let me see who is so bold and dares to break the rules in front of Grand Duke Iris."
Speaking of this, Prince Snow Star began to feel proud. Grand Duke Iris was sitting in the box behind him. He was the head of the "Haolan" Chamber of Commerce in the Tiandou Empire. Someone dared to break the rules in front of him. It was simply I'm tired of living.
And I used the excuse of pointing out this matter to tell others that the Grand Duke of Iris was sitting behind me, so that they would not dare to talk nonsense. Maybe the Grand Duke of Iris would give me more rewards for my help. .
Just when Prince Snow Star was happily beginning to fantasize, the upstairs box opened with a creak, and a figure walked out, then directly crossed the railing on the second floor and fell towards the auction table.
bump!There was a loud noise, and a figure fell on the auction platform, and a deep voice sounded: "I am the one who gave the order. Do you have any opinions?"
Gah, Prince Snow Star was stunned and looked at the figure on the stage with his mouth wide open.
How... how is it possible, Grand Duke Iris? !
Prince Snow Star's face instantly turned pale. He originally wanted to flatter him, but unexpectedly he slapped him directly on the horse's hoof. The one who gave the order was actually Grand Duke Iris? !
Looking at Tang Yin, Prince Xuexing only had one thought in his mind.
――――It’s over!
Ignoring the stunned Prince Xuexing, Tang Yin turned and looked at the middle-aged man next to Tang San, Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
"Sect Master Ning, the last bid for this auction item just now was made by you. However, due to some reasons, I issued an order to invalidate the auction item. Therefore, the auction house will compensate you twice the gold coins you bid, okay?"
Ning Fengzhi stood up and bowed slightly and bowed: "Grand Duke Iris, there is no need for this. It is understandable that Fengzhi will invalidate the auction items due to some reasons. Fengzhi just clicked on the price and did not pay anything, so there is no need to compensate."
"It's okay, Sect Master Ning. After all, I broke the rules first. These money can be considered as some price for breaking the rules. As for everyone, when you leave later, the auction house will give you a gift. Please accept it. .”
With just a price, Tang Yin directly paid out 160 million gold coins, and those gifts were just a gag, telling them not to go out and talk nonsense, so Tang Yin just gave an order, and the auction house directly lost nearly 200 million gold coins.
But Tang Yin didn't care. It was only 200 million gold coins. The Haolan Chamber of Commerce's daily turnover was millions, so he didn't care about this little money at all.
The net profit of the Haolan Chamber of Commerce in a year is about more than 1 million gold coins. Although it is only more than [-] million, the net profit of the top three sects like Qibao Glazed Sect is only a few million in a year. It can be seen that the Haolan Chamber of Commerce has a net profit of more than [-] million gold coins. How profitable it is.
Although 5000% of the last year's net profit will be distributed to dozens of other miscellaneous partners, and only 200% will be left in the killing city, these four achievements are more than [-] million gold soul coins, so it is only [-] million, Tang Yin Just pretend that you didn’t make any money today.
"Okay." Ning Fengzhi reluctantly agreed. He had already said that he had done this, and if he didn't do anything else, he would not give the other party face, so Ning Fengzhi directly accepted the 160 million apology gift.
"In that case, please go back. This auction ends here, and the next auction will be held in a month." The matter has been resolved. Tang Yin signaled that everyone can leave. He still has something to do next. deal with.
For example, go fool his dear brother Tang San.
After hearing Tang Yin's words, everyone present stood up and left. Those who had photographed the items went to the backstage to get their own items and payment levels. Tang San and Xiao Wu followed Ning Fengzhi and went backstage together. After all, they were auctioning I still need to get the [-] gold coins for the hidden weapon.
"Uncle, I'm so sorry. I'd better return these ten thousand gold coins to you." After getting the money, Tang San and Xiao Wu found Ning Fengzhi and expressed that they would return the ten thousand gold coins to Ning Fengzhi. After all, Tang San also knew that he "Insinuations" are not worth ten thousand gold coins, so you can't deceive others, right?
"It's okay, I quite like this." Ning Fengzhi smiled and rejected Tang San's proposal. In his opinion, ten thousand gold coins were more than enough for this item. After all, it was an item that could greatly increase the self-protection coefficient of the auxiliary spirit master. .
After specifically asking Tang San for advice on how to use "innuendo", Ning Fengzhi turned around and looked at the waiting figure behind her.
"Your Excellency, the afternoon tea party..."
"Don't worry, I will definitely be there!"
After receiving a positive answer, Ning Fengzhi smiled and left with Bone Douluo. He wanted to bring the news back as soon as possible. After all, his disciple had been worried for several days.
After Ning Fengzhi left, Tang Yin walked towards Tang San and Xiao Wu who were also preparing to leave, "Boy, please wait a moment."
Looking at the slowly approaching figure, Tang San pulled Xiao Wu behind him and swallowed nervously.
Red, the ultimate red, with long red hair, scarlet pupils, and a red close-fitting robe, the whole person is like a ball of fire.
I just heard Uncle Ning calling the other party Grand Duke Iris. It seems that the other party should be a big noble, but I don't know why he and Xiao Wu are looking for him.
Feeling the undisguised domineering power of the other party, Tang San thought of a poem for some reason.
――――You should be a hero in life, and a hero in death...
However, Tang San was a little confused. For some reason, he always felt familiar with this figure.
"I wonder what you have to do with me and me?" Seeing that the other party was so close, Tang San had no choice but to say hello.
"Your name is Tang San?" Tang Yin looked like he didn't recognize Tang San.
"Yes." Tang San nodded, not knowing how the other party knew his name, but the next sentence made Tang San and Xiao Wu stunned.
"Your brother Tang Yin never mentioned me to you?" Tang Yin pointed at himself and said.
Tang San looked at the other party in surprise: "Do you know my brother?"
"We know each other, of course we know each other. After all, we have such a good relationship that it's like we are the same person." Tang Yin, who was fooling Tang San, was just telling lies...ah, bah, he just opened his mouth.
With that said, Tang Yin took the lead and walked outside. Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other and raised their heels.
"You two really have such a good relationship? Then why has Teacher Tang Yin never mentioned anything about him having a good friend?" Xiao Wu asked suspiciously, following Tang San.
For some reason, Xiao Wu felt familiar when looking at this person's back.
That back, that long hair, if it weren't for the different temperament, Xiao Wu would have suspected that Teacher Tang Yin was playing a trick on them.
"Well, the main reason is that our relationship is a bit complicated." Tang Yin scratched his hair, looking like he didn't know where to start.
"Complicated?" Xiao Wu raised her eyebrows. It can be complicated to any degree. Don't tell me that you were confused by Teacher Tang Yin's appearance and fell in love with him like the stupid guy in the class.
Fortunately, Tang Yin can't read minds, otherwise he would have suffered brain congestion due to anger.
"Yeah, it's a bit complicated." Tang Yin sighed. He was obviously alone, but he still had to change his face all the time. How could it not be complicated?
Following Tang Yin, Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived at the end of the corridor. A dark door appeared in front of them, and a faint fragrance spread into their nostrils.
Looking at the door, Tang San looked at the figure in front of him and sighed that this person was so extravagant. One pound of wood and one pound of gold were used to build the door. Black fragrant wood was famous. Shen, this door in front of him The gate weighed at least several hundred kilograms, which meant that the other party spent tens of thousands of gold coins on just this gate.
Reaching out and gently pushing the door open, Tang Yin waved to the two people behind him: "Come in."
Although Tang Yin may not come to this auction house once a year, there are still necessary facilities. For example, the office in front of him is specially prepared for Tang Yin at the auction house. There is usually a dedicated person responsible for cleaning, and the level of security is extremely high. , it is impossible for a casual person to even take a look at it.
After hearing Tang Yin's words, Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other again. Although they were a little confused as to why Tang Yin was looking for them, they still walked into the house obediently.
Neither Tang Yin nor Xiao Wu believed what Tang Yin said just now. The man sounded like he was very familiar with his brother, but neither Tang San nor Xiao Wu had ever heard Tang Yin mention having such a high-ranking friend. , so the two of them were still a little wary.
However, the two of them believed that person's words. After all, Tang Yin and Tang San had been separated for more than six years. They didn't know what Tang Yin had gone through in the past six years, so they had to meet some strange friends. possible.
The two of them walked into the office with conflicting moods, and then, a familiar figure made their suspicions disappear completely, and they began to believe what Tang Yin had just said.
The man who was making tea at the table was known to both Tang San and Xiao Wu. He was Guyun who was basically inseparable from Tang Yin in the academy: "Teacher Guyun, why are you here?"
Seeing Tang San and Xiao Wu, Gu Yun smiled slightly: "Here, sit down and try the tea I just made."
Ignoring Tang San and Xiao Wu's reactions, Tang Yin walked over and sat down on the sofa, placing his feet directly on the coffee table in front of him.
Tang San and Xiao Wu on the sofa opposite saw Tang Yin's movements and couldn't help but frown slightly.
They were still facing each other, and the other party actually put his feet on the coffee table. It was so rude!
Little did he know that Tang Yin did this on purpose. After all, the two of them were walking behind him just now. Although he could change his appearance and temperament, his body shape could not be changed. Therefore, in order to prevent the two of them from guessing the truth because of their familiar body shape, Tang Yin pretended to be rude so that the two would not associate him with his usual self.
Seeing Tang Yin's actions, Guyun's lips were filled with smiles. She had never seen such a rude little brother.
"Xiaosan, Xiaowu, come, drink tea." Gu Yun pushed two cups of tea in front of the two of them, and then while the two of them lowered their heads to drink tea, she gave Tang Yin a secret look and asked Tang Yin if he would The identities were revealed to the two of them.
Tang Yin shook his head slightly, and a hint of understanding appeared in Gu Yun's eyes. It seemed that there was something good to watch next.
After drinking the tea, Tang San carefully placed the expensive-looking teacup on the coffee table, then raised his head and looked at Tang Yin: "Your Excellency, the Grand Duke, what do you want from me and me?"
"Don't call him so disrespectful, just call me brother." Tang Yin, who was lying on the sofa with Ge You, waved his hand, "After all, your brother and I have such a good relationship, I can't bear to hear you using honorifics."
"Pfft!" A chuckle came from the side. Tang San and Xiao Wu turned around and found Teacher Guyun covering her mouth and laughing softly, as if they had seen something very funny.
Seeing Guyun who was almost exposed, Tang Yin glared at her, "Am I right?"
Seeing the dissatisfied look in her younger brother's eyes, Guyun hurriedly kept her face straight, but couldn't help but laugh again.
It's so funny. In order to deceive the two little guys, the younger brother actually said that he and I have a very good relationship. This serious lie is really funny.
"Still laughing!" Tang Yin glared at Guyun again. Only then did Guyun remember that the two little guys were still facing each other and hurriedly stopped laughing.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Xiao Wu looked at Guyun, a little suspicious that Tang Yin was really lying to them, otherwise why would Teacher Guyun laugh out loud.
"Ahem, it's nothing." Gu Yun saw the disbelieving looks in the two little guys' eyes. In order to fear that the younger brother's deception would be exposed, she hurriedly made up a reason: "The reason why the teacher laughed is that the relationship between the two of them is not like his." That’s so well said.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Guyun screamed secretly, while Tang Yin looked at Guyun with black lines on his head.
Just now I managed to trick the two little guys outside, and now you've come back to me again.
Tang San and Xiao Wu turned their eyes to Tang Yin again, secretly thinking that this guy had really lied to them just now.
As expected, all the adults these days are bald, and their hearts are too dirty!
Looking at the suspicious eyes of the two little guys, Tang Yin felt that cold sweat was almost falling on his forehead. He originally just wanted to deceive the mistress, but he didn't expect such twists and turns.
In order to prevent the truth from being exposed, Tang Yin hurriedly used his brain and thought of a perfect excuse in a few breaths.
"Don't look at me like this. I'm not lying to you. Didn't I just tell you on the way here that my relationship with Tang Yin is a bit complicated?" Tang Yin retracted his feet, sat upright, and reached out to grab his hair twice more. .
The effect of this disguise medicine is very good, but I am allergic to it when I use it, and my scalp always feels itchy. Tang Yin decided to ask the pharmacists to perfect the formula next time he returns to the Killing City, and at least he can come up with it. He won't be allergic to the medicine.
Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at Tang Yin quietly, wondering what excuses he could make up.
"How should I put it?" Tang Yin continued to scratch his head: "The reason why your brother and I have a complicated relationship starts with our positions."
"I believe you saw it when you entered the auction house. This auction house belongs to the 'Haolan Chamber of Commerce', and your brother and I are both members of the Chamber of Commerce, but we are responsible for different areas."
"The top leader of the Chamber of Commerce is the president. The president divided the business of the Chamber of Commerce into three areas and let three people manage them respectively. They are also three spokespersons. These three people are me, your brother and the 'Grand Duke of Bauhinia' , I am responsible for the business of the Tiandou Empire, Grand Duke Bauhinia is responsible for the business of the Star Luo Empire, and your brother is responsible for the remaining small countries and unowned areas."
"The three of us have been learning how to manage the Chamber of Commerce together for several years after entering the Chamber of Commerce, so we can be said to be very good friends. However, after the regions were assigned, we became competitors, so I say that our relationship is very close. complex."
"In business, the three of us have been fighting openly and secretly, but when we get together in private, we talk about everything. As for you Tang San, I heard him talk about you at one of the gatherings, so our relationship Both friends and rivals, that’s why I say it’s complicated.”
Tang San and Xiao Wu stared at Tang Yin with expressions of disbelief. After all, Tang Yin had never told these little guys about the "Haolan Chamber of Commerce" before.
Seeing the doubtful looks in their eyes, Tang Yin knew that the two little guys were not that easy to deceive, but if one trick didn't work, he had another trick. After all, there was someone beside him who could make the two little guys believe more easily. Can help him "prove".
"If you don't believe me, ask Guyun. She is Tang Yin's assistant. If you don't believe me, you should believe her." Tang Yin stretched out his hand and pointed at Guyun. Guyun, who was watching the excitement at the side, was stunned. He didn't expect that his younger brother would cause trouble. , directly pulling himself into the water.
Seeing the eyes of the two little guys turning towards her, Gu Yun, who was almost laughing in the corner where the three of them were not paying attention, quickly calmed her expression and nodded lightly to Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Although Guyun nodded, Tang San and Xiao Wu were still a little suspicious, but this was not the most important thing now. The first thing they had to figure out was what the other party wanted from them.
"Your Excellency, what exactly do you want to see us for this time? Can you please feel it."
Hearing Tang San's cold tone, Tang Yin knew that the two little guys were still suspicious, but it didn't matter.
Why are you looking for the two of them?What else can I do, of course, give them money!
He had seen it at the door before. The mistress who bought jewelry worth tens of thousands of gold coins actually thought about it for a long time, and even went to sell hidden weapons. How could he bear this tone?
He was also negligent before, thinking that the little guys had nothing to use money for, so each person only gave a few tens of thousands.
Although Tang San took the most, more than a hundred thousand, these more than a hundred thousand would really be useless if something happened, so Tang Yin was prepared to give Tang San more.
However, giving money directly was afraid that Tang San would develop the habit of enjoying leisure and not working hard, so Tang Yin thought about it and finally came up with a good way, which was to let Tang San work to make money.
As for how to work, isn’t there a ready excuse?
"What do you want me to do for you?" Tang Yin lay down again, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and put his feet on the coffee table, "I'm quite interested in the thing you auctioned."
"Are you talking about insinuations?" Tang San frowned and looked at Tang Yin, but he didn't expect that the other party was looking for him for this purpose.
"Yes, that's it." Tang Yin put down his feet and sat up: "How to sell it? Also, do you have other types?"
"Yes, but I wonder why you are buying these?" Tang San frowned and looked at Tang Yin. He was ready to inquire about the other party's purpose. After all, the other party was his brother's competitor. Knowing the other party's purpose, he could still tell his brother the information. , so that he is prepared to deal with any eventuality.
"It's good to have it." Tang Yin smiled, "I'm going to buy some equipment for my men who escort goods. After all, this kind of thing is small and small, and it can be used by surprise. It is absolutely perfect for self-protection at critical moments."
Tang San didn't speak, he was considering whether the other party's words were true or false.
He secretly raised his head and glanced at Gu Yun, and saw that Gu Yun nodded to him. It seemed that Gu Yun also agreed to this business.
Although Guyun nodded, Tang San was still hesitant. What if Guyun betrayed his brother?
Seeing that Tang San was still hesitating, Tang Yin was dissatisfied: "What, are you afraid that I will use it against your brother?"
Tang San said nothing, looking straight at Tang Yin, making it clear that he thought this was what he meant.
Tang Yin couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect that the mistress would suspect that he wanted to deal with him. He was really speechless.
Scratching his head, Tang Yin slapped the table directly: "Okay, let's discuss the items and prices for the time being. Then you go back and ask your brother. If he agrees, we can confirm the transaction. How about that?"
Tang San hesitated, but finally nodded.
"Okay, now that everything is settled, tell me first, besides that insinuation, do you have any other weapons like this? If so, what is their level?" Seeing that Tang San finally agreed, Tang Yin quickly prepared to use it. All matters were settled immediately.
Tang San thought for a while and took out three hidden weapons from the soul guide. In addition to the innuendo that was auctioned just now, there are also sleeve arrows and back crossbows.
Tang Yin picked them up one by one and looked at them, and they were indeed ingenious. Thinking that several of the little guys had received hidden weapons as gifts from Tang San, but not himself, Tang Yin's whole body turned gray, feeling that he had really failed as a brother.
Shuai Shuai Tou shook this thought out of his mind and looked up at Tang San: "How to sell these things?"
"This..." Tang San was in a dilemma. The materials for these hidden weapons were not expensive, and the total price was only a few dozen gold coins. The real trouble was the forging and assembly of the parts. This stage was the most labor-intensive. , so Tang San really didn't have a prepared figure for the prices of these three hidden weapons.
At this moment, Guyun secretly raised a finger towards Tang San and opened her mouth to make a "ten thousand" mouth shape.
Ten thousand?Tang San was a little dazed. Isn't selling these items for ten thousand a bit too dark?
At the critical moment, Xiao Wu pinched Tang San. Tang San looked back at Xiao Wu, then calmed down and said to Tang Yin: "Three pieces for a set, ten thousand!"
Although it was a bit dark, with this money, at least he would be able to buy something Xiao Wu likes next time he saw it, and the person opposite him was his brother's competitor, so he would not cheat anyone.
"Ten thousand, are you sure?" Tang Yin looked at Tang San with a strange expression.
He just sent a message to Guyun, asking her to signal Tang San to sell one piece for ten thousand, but he didn't expect Tang San to directly sell three pieces for ten thousand. I wonder what Tang San will think when he knows the truth.
"Sure!" Tang San nodded.
"Okay, I want five hundred sets!" Tang Yin reached out and threw a card to Tang San. The number on it clearly told Tang San that there were 500 million in this card.
"I'll give you the money first. After your brother agrees to the deal, you can help me make five hundred sets. After you're done, just ask Gu Yun to contact me. I will arrange for someone to accept it."
Looking at the card in his hand, Tang San was a little confused: "You just gave it to me directly, aren't you afraid that I will run away?"
Tang Yin looked at Tang San and laughed: "What are you afraid of? If you run away, won't you still have your brother? He can't run away."
After sending away Tang San and Xiao Wu who were still a little dazed, Tang Yin couldn't help but start complaining to Guyun after closing the door: "Fortunately, I got through it, sister, you almost ruined my plan just now, you know? "
Ignoring the younger brother's complaints, Gu Yun burst out laughing: "You and Tang Yin have a very good relationship, and they are still competitors, hahahaha..."
"Still laughing, is it easy for me to lie to someone?"
In the house, Tang Yin and Guyun's play continued for a long time.
At the door of the auction house, Tang San and Xiao Wu were looking at the "gift" that the auction house claimed was an apology to them with their mouths wide open.
In front of the two of them, an iron cage that had been opened stood quietly, and in the cage, a girl with a cat and a cat tail was huddled in the corner, looking at the auction house employee standing outside the cage in fear.
――――This is the gift that Tang San and Xiao Wu received, the Inhuman girl as the final auction!
"This..." Looking at the cage in front of them and the girl inside, Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
When they went out and heard the staff mention a gift, the two of them thought it was some small gift, but they didn't expect it to be such a "gift."
The two of them also watched the auction situation at that time. If the Grand Duke of Iris hadn't suddenly jumped out, the auction price of this girl would have definitely exceeded 100 million. In other words, the other party directly gave this million-dollar Inhuman girl directly to him. Got them...
What should they do? They have no way to deal with the girl in front of them, and there are so many people in the auction house eyeing the girl. Once someone finds out that the girl is in their hands, they are just students and they can't resist the snatching of those people. .
"Brother... what should I do?" Xiao Wu looked at the girl in front of him with straight eyes, feeling that the thoughts in his mind were extremely chaotic.
"I...I don't know either." Tang San swallowed and asked slightly tentatively: "How about we return this 'gift'?"
Unexpectedly, Tang San's words were directly heard by the auction house staff on the side. A staff member immediately stood up with a smile, "I'm sorry, you two, this 'gift' was specially taken care of by that adult. The auction house It will not be accepted, and no one dares to accept it, so this 'gift' cannot be returned."
Hearing the staff's words, Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other speechlessly, and then Tang San asked tentatively: "Then... let's go talk to the Grand Duke of Iris and ask him to give this 'gift' Take it back?"
This time other staff members came to Tang San together, blocking their way to the auction house, "Sorry, you two, the gentleman has also explained it. He has important things to deal with next, and no one can Excuse me, so we can’t let you two in, otherwise we will all be punished.”
"Then what should we do?" Tang San shouted in a panic. He and Xiao Wu had no good way to deal with this girl, and this girl also represented a certain danger, and he was even less likely to accept it.
The staff also noticed Tang San's worries, thought for a long time, and finally came up with a compromise: "You two, how about this? You two, give me your address, and the auction house will arrange for someone to take this item to you in the afternoon." "Gifts are given to you two. I believe that with the deterrent power of the Haolan Chamber of Commerce, which is a powerful force in our auction house, no one with an open eye will dare to do anything to this auction item."
"This... okay." Tang San thought for a moment, and realized that this was indeed the best way, so he had no choice but to agree, otherwise he couldn't just leave this girl here and let her fend for herself. His conscience prevented him from doing such a thing.
"Third brother, why did you agree? We can't deal with her at all." Hearing Tang San's agreement, Xiao Wu didn't know what she thought of, and she became slightly jealous.
"I know we can't handle it, but..." Tang San scratched his head and thought for a moment, "How about handing her over to my brother when the time comes?"
"Teacher Tang Yin?" Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Tang San didn't have any thoughts about this girl. After thinking about it for a while, he still agreed with Tang San's solution.
Tang Yin never expected that the "gift" that was originally intended to be given to Tang San to enrich his harem would actually end up on his head.
At noon, Tang Yin returned to the Duke's Palace and took a nap after enjoying a lunch cooked by Gu Yun. Then he slept for about two hours and was woken up by Gu Yun, reminding him that it was almost time and it was time to go to see the prince. Xue Qinghe’s tea party.
Tea party, also called afternoon tea party, is one of the leisure and entertainment methods thought up by idle aristocrats just like the previous life in the European Middle Ages.
The afternoon tea party in the previous life has a long history and far-reaching influence. Even after hundreds of years, European countries are still affected by this habit.
When many people first arrive in Europe, they always think that the local people eat very little food and feel that they are not full. A piece of steak, a hamburger or just a few sausages will make up lunch or dinner. This is better than thinking that Europeans eat a lot of food. Small.
But this is a wrong view.
The reason why Europeans eat less dinner is because of their afternoon tea culture.
In the Middle Ages in Europe, those idle nobles would only eat a small meal at noon, and then when they were almost digested, it was time for afternoon tea.
Afternoon tea is not just tea, but also a variety of refreshments. While drinking tea and having refreshments, you can discuss some gossip with other people. This is the afternoon tea party of European aristocrats in the Middle Ages.
The afternoon tea party can last two or three hours. After filling your stomach with tea, it's time for dinner.
At this time, when they are basically full, their dinner portion will be very small, so this is why people from other regions think that Europeans have small appetites.
In fact, they ended up eating less to reserve their stomachs for afternoon tea, and eating less at night was because they were basically full at afternoon tea, so they ate less for dinner.
I have said before that Douluo Continent is very similar to the European Middle Ages in its previous life, so there will naturally be no shortage of entertainment such as afternoon tea parties to pass the time. After all, no matter which world it is, there will be no shortage of people who have enough to eat and nothing to do.
Arriving at the gate, there was already a luxurious carriage waiting. Although the Prince's Mansion is also next to the palace and is only two or three miles away from the Duke's Mansion, Tang Yin still needs to go there by carriage. After all, this is the place for those who have nothing to do. The rules established by bored nobles.
When they arrived at the door of the Prince's Mansion, they saw Prince Xue Qinghe standing at the door, waiting to greet the "Grand Duke Iris".
Of course Xue Qinghe had not been waiting here all the time, but because the door of the Duke's Mansion could be seen from the door of the Prince's Mansion, it was estimated that someone had reported it the moment Tang Yin set off. The two people who received the notice came out directly, which was just in time. Arrive at the door before Tang Yin arrives.
The carriage stopped, and Tang Yin, who was dressed in fiery red, refused the help of the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion, and directly put his arm around Gu Yun's waist and got out of the carriage. Following him was the titled Douluo who had no mission.
"Welcome, Your Excellency the Grand Duke, it's not easy to meet you once." With her right hand on her chest, our girl Qian Renxue saluted directly to Tang Yin, then stood up and said to Tang Yin with a smile.
"Your Highness, how could you do this? To be honest, I should be the one to give you the gift." Tang Yin let go of Gu Yun's waist, took two steps forward and patted Qian Renxue, who was disguised as the prince, on the shoulder.
"Hahaha, the Duke is too outspoken to say this." Seeing Tang Yin's actions, Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile.
The movements of "Grand Duke Iris" were not unreasonable at all. It seemed that he was also tempted by this opportunity. With his support, Qian Renxue felt that the least he could do was win the Tiandou Empire. There is a [-]% success rate.
"Grand Duke, please." Qian Renxue made a gesture of invitation, then affectionately took Tang Yin's hand and walked inside together, walking into the eyes of a large group of nobles in the palace.
Xue Qinghe's affectionate gestures not only expressed goodwill to Tang Yin, but also showed it to the nobles, telling them that Grand Duke Iris would also become one of his supporters.
What is it that the princes want to compete for the top?It's not just the number of supporters behind him. With more support, there will naturally be more money and troops than others, and the chance of victory will be much greater. Therefore, Xue Qinghe's move directly conveys a meaning to those nobles.
―――Grand Duke Iris has already supported me, why don’t you come over and kneel down to lick me.
Indoors, Ning Fengzhi, who was dealing with various nobles, saw the prince and Grand Duke Iris coming in hand in hand, and couldn't help but reveal a heartfelt smile.
Among the three upper sects, the Haotian Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and the Qibao Glazed Sect, the weakest among them is the Qibao Glazed Sect.
Why?
Because all the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are auxiliary soul masters, unlike the other two sects who are all fighting talents and cannot provide strong protection to their adherents, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has the fewest adherents.
Fewer dependents means less available resources, which is why Ning Fengzhi believes that the Qibao Glazed Sect has been suppressed by the other two sects in terms of development.
In order to solve this problem, Ning Fengzhi was not as aloof as the other two sects. Instead, he lowered his profile and directly participated in the struggle for power in the secular world. He specially accepted Xue Qinghe, his favorite among the four princes of the Tiandou Empire, as his student.
Later, Xue Qinghe lived up to expectations and became the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire. If he could ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in the future, then the entire resources of the Tiandou Empire would only be used by the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
With the support of an empire, Ning Fengzhi is confident that the Qibao Glazed Sect will surpass the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and even...
Reproduce the scene of Haotian Sect before it was sealed as a sect!
Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi felt hot inside.
After apologizing to the nobleman chatting in front of him, Ning Fengzhi walked towards Tang Yin who came side by side with Xue Qinghe, "Your Excellency, welcome. I hope you can enjoy this tea party."
"Thank you, Sect Master Ning. I think so too." Tang Yin laughed and said hello to Ning Fengzhi. Then, accompanied by the two of them, he greeted the nobles present who knew or didn't know each other, as if he was He looks like a die-hard supporter of the prince.
Is Tang Yin going to support Qian Renxue as emperor?
of course not!
While greeting those nobles, Tang Yin smiled evilly in his heart. The higher he was held, the harder he was thrown. The more harmonious he was now, the greater the blow would be to these nobles when the talks collapsed.
As for making Qian Renxue the emperor, what a joke!
Not to mention that Qian Renxue is very ambitious and difficult to control. The key point is that she is from Wuhun Palace. Once she takes over the Tiandou Empire and has the support of an empire, she will still be able to carry out her plan against Wuhun Palace. Damn it, you might as well go to bed early and go back to Holy Soul Village to live in seclusion.
Therefore, in Tang Yin's heart, the best candidate to ascend the throne is Xue Beng. As for the other two princes, they will probably die after this negotiation. When the time comes, he will reveal Qian Renxue. Emperor Xue Ye, who has only Xue Beng's son, will naturally Pass the position to the Avalanche, perfect!
The wilted Tang Yin was already setting a trap for Qian Renxue.
After chatting with a bunch of nobles for a while, and getting familiar with each other, Tang Yin was taken into the inner hall. The people here were all die-hard followers of the prince, and you couldn't get in if you didn't have a high title.
Tang Yin's current title is Grand Duke, and the only people with higher titles than him in the entire empire are princes and emperors. In other words, a title obtained through trade allows Tang Yin to enter the upper echelons of the Tiandou Empire, the real core level.
"Good day, everyone." There were only five or six figures in the inner hall. Their titles were either Grand Duke or Prince. They were considered the handful of people at the top of the power pyramid of the Tiandou Empire. Tang Yin greeted them with a smile. , then directly found a seat to sit down, and unceremoniously raised his legs and placed them on the legs of Gu Yun who was sitting next to him, asking her to beat his legs.
The titled Douluo who was responsible for protecting Tang Yin stood behind Tang Yin, folding his hands in front of his lower abdomen, looking at his nose and heart, as if he was a statue that didn't understand.
In addition to this Titled Douluo, Tang Yin also saw another blue friendly logo on the system map, which was larger than the Titled Douluo behind him.
Taking a peek, Tang Yin caught everyone present.
There was nothing to pay attention to among the several big nobles. What really caught Tang Yin's attention were the two people standing behind Ning Fengzhi.
In addition to the Bone Douluo whom I had seen last time, there was also an old man with sword-like eyebrows. No need to guess, he knew that this must be Sword Douluo. He brought two titled Douluo with him. It seemed that Ning Fengzhi was very interested in this time. The tea party is really important.
Several nobles just frowned at Tang Yin's arrogant actions, but no one dared to stand up and point out Tang Yin's rudeness.
They were here today to discuss how to make Xue Qinghe ascend the throne, not to antagonize the boss. Naturally, no one was willing to do such an offending thing.
The most important thing is that in the past few years, dozens of noble families were killed by the people in front of them, and those blood-stained scenes still seemed like yesterday to them.
Among the nobles killed by the "Grand Duke of Iris" at that time were two grand dukes, five marquises and more than ten earls.
After killing so many nobles in the country, he was not punished by Emperor Xueye. Instead, Emperor Xueye took care of his close associates and heirs not to provoke this new lunatic.
Who knows what other cards he has in his hands that can make the Emperor so fearful? If you provoke him, it might become one of his mass murder resumes.
The few dukes present did not speak, and the prince also did not speak. After all, no one dared to bet on whether the madman in front of him dared to kill the prince. With the emperor's attitude, if he killed him, it would be in vain, so wouldn't their death be in vain? Yet?
They haven't enjoyed enough of the wealthy life, so why would they risk their own lives on what the other person thinks.
bump!The door was closed, and the noise outside the house was completely cut off, which also marked the official start of this interest distribution meeting.
"Everyone, Qinghe is deeply honored that you can come to Qinghe's tea party this time." Our prince 'Xue Qinghe' stood up first and bowed to everyone, and then officially opened the secret conversation.
"I believe everyone knows that my father has been ill recently, and there are even rumors that he is terminally ill. These are all nonsense. Qinghe hereby asks everyone not to believe these absurd rumors." Those who heard this said Everyone nodded, saying that they would not believe these rumors at all, and how could these nonsense disturb them.
This is just a scene, what is going to be said next is the real content.
Seeing everyone's performance, our "Prince" nodded with satisfaction, and then turned into a sad expression at the next moment: "Qinghe knows that everyone will not believe these rumors, but the eldest brother and the third brother were betrayed by someone with ulterior motives. I was deceived and mistakenly believed their words, thinking that my father was terminally ill, and even openly led troops towards the imperial capital without my father's orders, which really made Qinghe heartbroken!"
Leading troops?Tang Yin tried hard not to laugh with a straight face. The eldest prince and the third prince did indeed leave the fiefdom and lead people towards the imperial capital without the order of Emperor Xueye's recall. However, the third prince only led a mere 300 cavalry, and The eldest prince brought even fewer people, less than [-] people, but when it comes to your mouth, it feels like he is leading an army.
Sure enough, what Mother Zhang said is right, the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying.
"How is this possible!" Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, a prince slapped the table with a look of indignation, "Leaving the fiefdom without His Majesty's order, and even openly leading troops to the imperial capital, how is this different from rebellion?!"
"Yes, that's right!" Everyone on the side responded.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, since the eldest prince and the third prince are like this, we will definitely do our best to defend the imperial capital and prevent the evil plan from succeeding!" An archduke stood up and said, this was to discuss how many troops we should send if Emperor Xue Ye passes away. They did not make a will for Xue Qinghe to succeed to the throne, so they were ready to directly raise troops to seize power, directly kill those who threatened Xue Qinghe's succession, and then allow Xue Qinghe to successfully ascend the throne.
"Hey, thank you all, but the Imperial Capital is vast. If you want to defend the Imperial Capital, you will need a large number of soldiers." His Royal Highness still looked miserable, but his words were asking how many people they could spare.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have five hundred soldiers, six soul emperors, and one soul saint at your disposal!"
"I have eight hundred soldiers, eight Soul Emperors, and two Soul Saints at your Highness's disposal..."
A group of nobles reported the number of private soldiers in their hands and the number of soul masters they had recruited. Each one of them gave up almost all their wealth. After all, if Xue Qinghe can really ascend the throne this time, the greater the contribution, they will divide the cake. The share occupied will also be larger.
After everyone revealed the number of people they could support Xue Qinghe, our Crown Prince turned his attention to Tang Yin, who had not spoken yet: "I wonder how many people the Grand Duke is willing to send to 'defend' the imperial capital?"
Everyone else's eyes also turned to Tang Yin. They also wanted to know how many people Tang Yin could bring out. After all, this man was no ordinary person.
"Five Title Douluo, thirty Soul Douluo!" Tang Yin reported the answer that made other nobles take a breath of air as soon as he opened his mouth, but made our Crown Prince smile.
Not to mention five titled Douluo, even two or three Qian Renxue felt that she was sure to win. Although her grandfather Qian Daoliu arranged several titled Douluo for her to assist her, they were all powers that could not see the light of day. , it is impossible to use it in public.
If a force is really used out of necessity, then Ning Fengzhi and the two titled Douluo behind him will definitely find out the clues. When the time comes, her plan to plot against the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect in addition to the plan against the Tiandou Empire will definitely fail, so it is not a last resort. Qian Renxue would never use them in this situation.
Originally, what they lacked was the high-end combat power that could completely suppress the scene. With the presence of these five titled Douluo, the entire plan would be completely flawless!
While she was delighted that Tang Yin could bring out so many people, Qian Renxue was once again wary of the legendary organization behind Tang Yin.
Everyone present had information about the Grand Duke Iris, and they all knew that he was just the spokesperson of the "Haolan Chamber of Commerce" in the Tiandou Empire.
It's really terrifying that a Chamber of Commerce organization can produce five titled Douluo and thirty Soul Douluo!
The Wuhun Hall of the Chamber of Commerce has never stopped investigating, but what can be found is very limited. This is the first organization that can prevent the Wuhun Hall from getting to the bottom of the investigation.
Wuhundian only knew that this chamber of commerce seemed to have appeared overnight. In a short period of time, more than a hundred branches had appeared, and their footprints were all over the continent.
As for where the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce is and who the boss is, they have absolutely no idea.
In order to find out the truth, they also tried to arrest several middle-level personnel of the chamber of commerce, trying to find out the internal information of the chamber of commerce, but in the end they all failed because these middle-level personnel only had a partial understanding of the internal situation of the chamber of commerce.
Later, Wuhundian turned its attention to the senior personnel of the Chamber of Commerce, but encountered greater trouble during the arrest. These senior personnel turned out to be all people who were not afraid of death, and even had a strange fanaticism about death. , every time they were arrested, they either died together or all they got was corpses, not a single one alive.
Later, the Chamber of Commerce probably also noticed this situation and began to change its direction and win over some high-level officials of Wuhun Palace to cooperate and let them protect the Chamber of Commerce.
Under the trend of profit, many high-level officials of Wuhun Palace fell into the trap one after another and became the protective umbrella of the Chamber of Commerce. They banned Wuhun Palace from targeting the Chamber of Commerce again.
Qian Renxue didn't know how the incident would develop later, but seeing that "Grand Duke Iris" could appear so blatantly, she knew that the top brass of Wuhun Palace had probably reached some kind of agreement with the Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, when she asked Tang Yin, she was somewhat tentative. As a result, the other party was able to produce five Titled Douluo and thirty Soul Douluo in one breath. Her evaluation of the Chamber of Commerce was already huge, at least... No less than the behemoths of the above three sects.
"Man, I can take it out, but I don't know what I can get?" Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince's happy look, Tang Yin asked a question that made Qian Renxue look embarrassed.
This kind of distribution of interests was discussed in private, but the other party directly put it out in the open. It was really a bit...
Made me look bad!
"What can you get?" Qian Renxue sat back on the chair and looked directly at Tang Yin: "I can make you go further!"
"I'm already a Grand Duke now. What's more? Prince?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows in surprise. Is that all?
If it was just the prince's position, he could have asked Emperor Xue Ye for it, instead of helping the other party to rebel and then getting the prince's position. The other party only gave him the prince's position. Isn't it a bit too low?
"No, what I am giving you is not an insincere condition like a prince. What I am going to give you is the right to develop!" His Highness the Crown Prince's words were like a bomb thrown into the water, causing an uproar.
The right to develop, as the name suggests, allows the other party to open up territory and expand the territory, and the land conquered will belong to the other party. This is completely the right to split the soil and seal the king.
The founding ancestors of the major principalities under the Tiandou Empire were all generals who followed the first emperor of the Tiandou Empire. After the first emperor ascended the throne, they were granted the title of Duke and were given the right to develop, and then they laid down foundations around the Tiandou Empire. A large piece of land, the founder of the country.
Although you are nominally a vassal state of the empire, your rights are controlled by the empire, and you have to pay a part of the annual tribute, but within the principality, you are the emperor and can do whatever you want.
Therefore, the right to develop has always been the most desired existence of countless nobles. After all, becoming the emperor is the goal that many families have been busy with their whole lives.
However, as the world became more peaceful later, the emperors who did not want to provoke war no longer had the right to develop when they rewarded their nobles. This has also become a regret for countless families.
Unexpectedly, they heard the words "right to develop" today. The nobles present looked at Tang Yin, wondering how he would choose.
Unexpectedly, they heard a sneer: "Pioneering rights? Oh, Your Highness, your condition is too insincere."
What? !The nobles present looked at Tang Yin in surprise. He was not satisfied with the development rights. What did he want?
"Your Majesty the Grand Duke, what do you mean?" Qian Renxue looked at Tang Yin with a gloomy face. She was not satisfied with the development rights, and this appetite was too much!
Taking his feet back from Guyun's legs, Tang Yin looked at the prince with a arrogant smile on his face: "The right to develop is not to allow me to open up territory for the Tiandou Empire. A blank check would be too insincere. Alright."
"Then what do you want?" It was Ning Fengzhi who spoke this time. Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo, who were closing their eyes and concentrating behind him, also opened their eyes at the same time, their gazes compelling.
Upon noticing the movements of the two men, the titled Douluo behind Tang Yin also opened his eyes, his hands hanging by his sides, ready to take action at any time.
"What do I want?" Tang Yin opened his arms and made a hug gesture, "I want half of the Tiandou Empire!"
"What?!" The nobles present were frightened. Half of the territory was covered by their mouths. The other party really dared to say that.
"Impossible!" His Royal Highness slapped the table and stood up, anger rising on his face.
"That means there's nothing to talk about?" Tang Yin stood up directly, stretched out his hand to pull Guyun up, and was about to get up and leave.
As a result, as soon as he took two steps, two figures stood in front of him.
"Your Excellency the Grand Duke, your conditions have exceeded our expectations, so please forgive us for not being able to agree. Otherwise, you can change the conditions."
Ning Fengzhi's voice sounded behind him. Looking at Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo who were blocking him, Tang Yin turned around and looked at Ning Fengzhi and smiled, "What, you're going to be tough if you can't do it softly?"
"The Grand Duke was joking, Fengzhi just thought we could talk some more." Ning Fengzhi showed a gentle smile, but the light in the corners of his eyes could not be concealed.
"What if I have to leave?" Tang Yin didn't care at all about Ning Fengzhi's threat. Although he had only one titled Douluo behind him, don't forget that there was another person in the room who was more serious than the one behind him. The guy is still a powerful presence.
Ning Fengzhi didn't say anything after hearing Tang Yin's words, but the soul rings that lit up on Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo behind him said everything.
The Titled Douluo who was responsible for protecting Tang Yin also showed his soul ring. Although the three Titled Douluo did not release their own soul power, the strong pressure already made several nobles present swallow their saliva.
"It seems you think you've got me?" Tang Yin strolled up to Ning Fengzhi and showed a bright smile.
"That's not the case. It's just one against two. Fengzhi thinks his side still has an advantage." Ning Fengzhi's smile remained gentle.
"Really?" Tang Yin pointed at Ning Fengzhi's neck, where a dagger appeared bit by bit.
"This..." Ning Fengzhi looked at the dagger around his neck in surprise. There was actually another person in the room. Why didn't Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo notice it? !
The two Douluo Gu and Jian were also surprised to see the figure slowly appearing behind Ning Fengzhi. They didn't even notice each other!
What does this mean? It means that this figure is stronger than the two of them!
"'Shadow', Martial Spirit Shadow, a level 98 agility-attack titled Douluo." The figure behind Ning Fengzhi said calmly. It was the 'Shadow' sent by Tang Chen to monitor Guyun.
Although he wanted to continue to lurk, the "King" was in danger. If the "King" was harmed because he continued to lurk, he would definitely be punished if he went back, so he could only devote himself to helping Tang Yin.
Hearing the opponent's self-destruction of soul power level, which was as high as 98, Ning Fengzhi completely lost all other thoughts and looked at Tang Yin with a smile, "Your Excellency, you win!"
After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Tang Yin waved his hand: "'Shadow', let him go."
After hearing Tang Yin's words, the shadow disappeared quietly. Except for Tang Yin, who had the system map, no one knew where the shadow was now.
Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo quickly came behind Ning Fengzhi and looked around cautiously to prevent the shadow from appearing again and hurting Ning Fengzhi.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Tang Yin turned to look at Qian Renxue, who had a bitter look on his face, and slightly bent down in front of her: "I am a businessman, so I naturally pay attention to maximizing profits. Someone used to use one-third of the Tiandou Empire. He wanted me to help him as a condition of owning his territory, but I didn't agree. Originally, I thought His Highness the Crown Prince would be more sincere, but unfortunately I was wrong."
"Next, I will wait at the Duke's Palace. If His Highness the Crown Prince shows enough sincerity, I might as well help you." As he said that, Tang Yin stretched out his fingers to lift His Highness the Crown Prince's chin and looked at her face carefully.
After entering like this, Qian Renxue was shy and afraid that Tang Yin would notice her disguise, so she turned her face away from Tang Yin's fingers.
Seeing the blush on Qian Renxue's face, Tang Yin couldn't help but sigh that Qian Renxue's disguise was really magical, and he didn't even see anything about the disguise.
But think about it, if Qian Renxue's disguise wasn't so magical, how could she have deceived Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluo Gu and Jian. After all, these two people have very vicious eyes. As long as there is the slightest abnormality, the three of them will notice it. .
Looking at the blushing girl Qian Renxue, Tang Yin laughed and walked towards the door, "Your Highness, there is no need to be like this, after all..."
bump!With a loud noise, Tang Yin kicked the originally closed solid wood door into a pile of fragments, causing the nobles in the garden outside the house to scream.
"After all, you are not my type, hahahaha..."
