Text Chapter 1415 What Are You Doing?

It would be fine if he went to the auction house, but the higher-ups actually asked him to temporarily obey Zhan Ruyi's command.

What was going on? Miao Yi was thinking about it, when Yan Xiu suddenly sent a message to inform him: A man entered Zhan Ruyi's room, and he didn't look like Zhan Ruyi's subordinate.

Miao Yi wandered around the room for a while, opened the door, and walked to Zhan Ruyi's room next door, but was stopped by two of Zhan Ruyi's subordinates at the door: "Miss Hua is meeting guests, so please don't disturb her."

Zhan Ruyi also changed her name, a very vulgar name, Huamei.

Miao Yi was muttering in his heart what a man and a woman were doing alone, and the door suddenly opened, and a plain-looking man came out, glanced at him, and left slowly.

Zhan Ruyi stood in the doorway and stared at him, saying calmly, "Come in."

After entering and closing the door, Miao Yi hadn't spoken yet, but Zhan Ruyi had already spoken, "Gu Duogui told you everything, right?"

"Let me cooperate with you." Miao Yi nodded, twisted Gu Duogui's words slightly, changed obedience to cooperation, and asked, "What are you going to the auction for?"

Zhan Ruyi said with a sense of distance, "Don't worry about it. There are still five hours before the auction. First, mobilize all your idle people to the vicinity of 'Xinyi Pavilion'. You still have five hours to prepare."

Since the last time he found out that Master Miao had found a woman from the brothel, the woman's attitude towards him has become very cold.

Miao Yi asked suspiciously, "All the idle people?"

"Yes! All! Go and prepare." Zhan Ruyi waved his hand, the door opened, and he sent the guest away.

Miao Yi was stunned and had to leave.

He currently has only about a thousand idle people in the ghost market. The number of people sent out before is known to his superiors, and he can't cheat, so he has to transfer them all to the vicinity of the auction site.

They said they had five hours to prepare, but they set off one hour in advance. They can't wait until the auction has started before setting off.

Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi, who haven't been together for a long time, finally travel together again. This time they are going by water. The hired boat is parked on the river bank far away from the Queyue Inn. It is obvious that they don't board the boat outside the inn to hide their whereabouts. After the four boarded the boat, they hid in the cabin. Both of them only brought one person, Miao Yi brought Yan Xiu, and Zhan Ruyi brought Kang Daoping.

The boatman cast a spell to drive the boat quietly through the waves.

In the cabin, Miao Yi walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. In the dim light, Zhan Ruyi admired the lights on both sides of the river through the bead curtain. From time to time, he turned his head slightly to glance at him.

Xinyi Pavilion is far away from here, on the edge of the ghost market, and the place where it is located can basically be said to be a lake. A stone building made of associated minerals stands on the water. It is roughly cylindrical, connected to the dome above, and there are no other buildings around it. It stands alone on the lake like a pillar.

Xinyi Pavilion operates two businesses. Below the lake is the auction house, and above the lake is the famous "Xinyi Bank". The owner is the man named Cao Man. This can also be said to be the power center of the ghost market.

There are many boats on the lake around Xinyi Pavilion. In fact, there is no need to take a boat. The purpose is to avoid being seen.

Miao Yi, standing by the window, looked at the surrounding environment. Guessing something vaguely, he walked back to Zhan Ruyi and sat down, saying in a voice transmission: "You don't want to monitor the people coming out of the auction house, do you?"

Zhan Ruyi: "It's not that I want to monitor, it's the order from above."

Miao Yi: "The surrounding lake is about hundreds of feet away from the land. What if someone escapes from the water? This is probably the reason why the bank and the auction house are located here. It's not easy to monitor!"

Zhan Ruyi: "You will understand later."

Seeing that she was unwilling to speak clearly, Miao Yi was too lazy to ask.

There is no need for ships to dock. There are many holes around the shore of Xinyi Pavilion that are exposed above the water, which are enough for ships to enter and exit. The boat they were riding also sailed into the cave, which was full of secrets. There were steps around and doors to enter.

When they got off the boat, they were all wrapped in black robes and black gauze hats, and the people who got off the boats that stopped nearby were the same. They didn't know who each other was.

Climbing the steps and entering the door, they entered a small hall, a counter guarded by someone, and another door behind the counter.

No need to say more, if you want to enter the auction house. Just pay for the number plate, don't even think about entering without a number plate. The price is not cheap, one admission number is worth 10 million red crystals, and those who want to go in and watch the excitement have to pay a price.

The four people received special number plates, Miao Yi's hand was "two two three", he looked at Zhan Ruyi's hand, it was "two two two".

After showing the number plate to the guard for inspection, the four people entered the door and meandered down the steps. The distance directly down was about ten feet, and they entered another door, which looked like a stage. The venue was not small, with a stage in front and a place for sitting in rows below. Hundreds of people had arrived first, and they were silent and covered their heads and faces. Occasionally, someone exuded mana fluctuations.

There were guards in front of the door. Seeing the number plate, they were allowed in and kept reminding: "Take the seat according to the number!"

The four people were in the second row of the second row, which was relatively close to the edge. The specific seats were the last digits, and the chairs were marked with corresponding numbers. The four people were close together.

For the four people who had just arrived, they couldn't help but observe their surroundings. Although there were many people at the scene, they were very quiet, and all the communication was done through voice transmission.

After that, more people came in one after another. After waiting for a short time, all the mana fluctuations at the scene suddenly stopped. A woman in a capable green shirt walked out of the stage facing everyone. Her face could not be seen from the side, but her curvy figure was very hot.

The hot body was quickly covered by a counter in front of the stage. The woman turned around and her appearance was disappointing. She looked ordinary, not ugly, but dignified. Miao Yi was a little stunned, and subconsciously turned back to look at Zhan Ruyi, and found that Zhan Ruyi was also looking at him.

The two of them reached a consensus at the same time. They both found that the face of the woman on the stage was vaguely like a person, Xiahou Longcheng!

Of course, she was definitely not as big and strong as Xiahou Longcheng, but the similarity in appearance was hard to erase.

I heard Yun Zhiqiu say that this was the territory of the Xiahou family before. Now such a person suddenly appeared. Miao Yi was almost certain that this woman was from the Xiahou family. It is said that the Xiahou family does not produce beauties. I don’t know if the bloodline of the Xiahou family is too strong to overwhelm all other bloodlines. It is said that the women married by the men of the Xiahou family are all the most beautiful in the world. It is inevitable with their wealth, but none of the next generation born can benefit from it.

Miao Yi had never seen the Queen Xiahou Chengyu, but he had heard that Xiahou Chengyu was not pretty, and the one in front of him was probably an example.

Without any preheating, a rope was hung on the counter, and the woman's eyes swept over the crowd sitting below. She raised her hand to grab the rope and shook it, and the big bell on it rang with a "dang", and the auction began.

The curtain behind the stage opened a path to the left and right, and another capable woman walked out. She held a tray in her hand, and on the velvet cloth on the tray was a big yellow peach, with a faint glow under the peach skin. The tray woman was in front of the stage and showed it to everyone.

"Fairy peach..." The crowd below the stage finally moved, and there was a little noise, and there were all kinds of discussions. More of it was the communication of mana fluctuations and voice transmission.

Miao Yi couldn't help but ask Zhan Ruyi beside him, "Is this the fairy peach?"

Whether it was raw, cooked or half-cooked, he had eaten a lot of fairy apricots, but this was the first time he had seen fairy peaches. It is said that the spiritual energy contained in a fairy peach is equivalent to ten fairy apricots. But this thing is monopolized by the Heavenly Court, how could it appear in the auction hall of the ghost market?

"Hmm!" Zhan Ruyi replied indifferently.

Miao Yi asked again: "Have you eaten it?"

Zhan Ruyi: "As long as the courtiers who are ranked in the immortal class do not make any mistakes, they will receive rewards from His Majesty every year."

Miao Yi understood. Not to mention her grandfather, her father is one of the 72 marquises of the Heavenly Court. I am afraid that if he wants to eat it, he can eat it every year. From this, he also understood. Although this kind of fairy fruit is monopolized by the Emperor of Heaven, it is not exclusive to the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven just wants the right to control it.

Miao Yi stared at the fairy peach and added, "Is it delicious?"

Zhan Ruyi ignored him.

The female abbot on the stage finally spoke. She didn't look good, but her voice was gentle and crisp, unlike Xiahou Longcheng's hoarse voice. "One hundred fairy peaches, the reserve price is 2 billion red crystals, and the price is 100 million red crystals. If you are interested, please show your number." He shook the rope with his hand. Another "dang" sound indicated that the first auction officially began. There was no verbosity, and it was very straightforward.

Someone in the audience raised a sign. Immediately, others followed suit, which meant that each time a sign was raised, the price would be raised by 100 million red crystals.

The female host kept looking at the crowd and kept ringing the big bell. Each time it was shaken, it meant that someone raised the price.

In fact, Miao Yi knew that one fairy peach was only worth 100 fairy yuan pills, and 100 fairy peaches were only equivalent to 10,000 fairy yuan pills. The practical value was only 10 billion red crystals, and the reserve price of 2 billion was already doubled. But the key point was that not everyone could eat this thing. For example, he had been in charge of Tianjie and was now the commander-in-chief of the Black Tiger Flag, but he still had never eaten it. And it was also very face-saving to give this thing as a gift.

In addition, the design of the ringtone was a bit inspiring. Miao Yi looked back at the people behind him who kept holding up signs. He was also a little eager to buy it back and let Yun Zhiqiu and others have a taste. Billions of red crystals may be a huge sum of money for ordinary small cultivators, but it is nothing for him who has been the great commander of Tianjie for thousands of years. The important thing is that buying it back as a gift can make his wife and concubines happy. This fairy peach is really suitable as a gift.

So Miao Daguanren raised his placard without hesitation, and the female host on the stage quickly stared at him and quickly rang the big bell.

Zhan Ruyi, Kang Daoping and Yan Xiu on the left and right immediately turned their heads to look, especially Zhan Ruyi, whose face under the gauze hat sank, and his eyes almost looked like fire, but it was a pity that Miao Yi could not see it through the black gauze.

Things with a practical value of 10 billion have been quickly pushed up to more than 3 billion. Miao Yi raised the price once and was quickly drowned by other people's bids.

Today, Miao Yi was determined to get this thing, and raised the placard three times in succession.

Zhan Ruyi, who was standing by, finally couldn't hold back his anger anymore and shouted, "Niu Youde, what are you doing?"

Miao Yi replied, "I'm bidding! What else can I do?"

Zhan Ruyi: "Why are you bidding for this? Is it the will of the higher-ups?"

Miao Yi: "No, it has nothing to do with the higher-ups. I haven't tasted the peaches, so I want to buy some to try."

Zhan Ruyi was furious, "Do you know why you came here today? We are on a mission, why are you messing around?"

ps: I was delayed by something, so I'll only update once today. I bow and apologize! . (To be continued.)
