Zhou Yang originally wanted to buy these ginseng, and he couldn't let Xie Qian's son steal away his son's limelight. Now that they were offering a fair and reasonable bid, he didn't stop them!
Shen Suyun knew the personality of these two men. They were both competitive in nature! As long as he was accurate, he absolutely could not lose to the other party! So from time to time, he would shout out a price together with the two of them, provoking the ire of both of them.
As for the other bidders, although some of them truly wanted to buy this precious ginseng, they could only give up on such a sky-high price! The ten stalks of ginseng had already sold for 4600 taels of silver!
This was insane!
"I bid 4900 taels!" Shen Suyun raised his board again!
"5,000 silver!"
Zhou Jianxiong did not hesitate to give chase!
Xie Tianlin raised his plate again … Shen Suyun immediately pressed his hand down!
Xie Tianlin looked at Shen Suoyun with a puzzled expression. "Brother Shen, you're my good friend. We can compete fairly. Why did you stop me from bidding?"
Shen Suyun smiled and said, "Thank you, brother! "How much do you think these ten ginseng stalks are worth?"
Xie Tianlin said, "The market price is about a thousand taels!"
Shen Suyun said, "It's already at 5000 taels! Do you still want to bid? I do not plan on bidding! "
Xie Tianlin said, "These ginseng can't even be considered rich. Spending more money is worth it!"
Shen Suyun said, "Thank you, brother! Believe me, stop bidding! I don't know the specific reason either. But I swear on my character. I will definitely not harm you! "
Shen Suyun indeed did not know what Bingying was planning, but when he thought of her mysterious and treacherous smile, he knew that these ginseng from tonight's auction must be a trap!
Otherwise, why would he raise the price to three thousand taels of silver?
Now that the price had reached five thousand taels, he no longer planned to bid! Xie Tianlin was his friend, so he naturally didn't wish for Xie Tianlin to suffer any losses. That was why he had stopped him from bidding.
Xie Tianlin had always understood Shen Suyun's character, so he naturally did not doubt his words. Thus, he reluctantly gave up on bidding!
"5000 taels!" Congratulations, Lord Zhou! "Congratulations, young master Zhou!"
The auctioneer made the final decision! The final price would be set at 5000 taels! It was won by Zhou Jianxiong!
A round of warm applause erupted on the field!
Under the admiring and admiring gazes of the crowd, Zhou Jianxiong walked up the stage smugly.
"The father and son of the Zhou family are not good people. It wasn't bad for them to be bullies. "However, I wonder what kind of expression this smug father and son would have on his face when the whole street is filled with 1000-years-old ginseng that is free of charge."
Bing Ying thought.
The popularity and scene of the first item being auctioned greatly boosted the confidence of the auctioneer. Following which, the second item was auctioned off in a grand manner!
Blue treasured sword!
The auctioneer said solemnly: "The Blue Light Treasure Sword is made from the hands of the Southern Wilderness' Sword Crafting Master Kong Tiaoying a hundred years ago. The previous owner of this sword was the Western Prince Nangong Xiu. The Fourth Prince had sold this sword to the pawnshop to raise funds for disaster relief. This kind of attitude was worth crying for, and it added a touch of justice to this famous sword! This sword had a starting bid of 5,000 taels! The price would be increased by 100 taels of silver each time! "We will now begin the bidding!"
Bing Ying thought: When she sent someone to pawn this sword, she also sold it for five thousand taels, so the starting price was not that expensive. In an era like the Tianyue Empire, where everyone practiced martial arts, the value of a treasured sword was extremely high. It was likely that a famous sword like this would fetch a price of over ten thousand taels of silver!
I wonder what the final price will be?
The bidding began!
"5100 taels!"
"5200 silver!"
"5,300 silver!"
"6,700 silver!"
"6,900 silver!"
The price continued to skyrocket. Soon, it would break through the seven thousand silver mark!
Bing Ying discovered a strange phenomenon. Right now, only the last few guests had bid. In terms of wealth and family background, they couldn't compare to those distinguished guests in the front row. However, few of the honored guests in the front row made their bids.
Why is that?
Could it be that everyone was afraid of the fourth prince?
Logically speaking, the sword should have been auctioned publicly and legally and the fourth prince himself had not come. Clearly, he had tacitly agreed that the sword could be freely auctioned.
Then why didn't any of the bureaucrats make a bid?
Did he wait until the end to bid?
Bing Ying did not expect that one of the guests today had come for this sword! Those foppish dandies with status all knew about this beforehand, so no one dared to snatch it from him! Thus, he gave up on bidding!
"I bid 10,000 taels!"
The person with an illustrious identity who could make all the hedonistic disciples cower in fear had finally named a price — a shocking sentence!
Such courage!
"Why does this person's voice sound so familiar?"
"Who is it?"
Bing Ying looked forward and was shocked to see that the one who stood up and yelled out a price was Nangong Chaoyun!
Nangong Chaoyun?
Bing Ying had always felt that he was just like a prince who loved to play the zither. Her personality was a little weak, and she didn't have a competitive spirit in him. Her originally somewhat aloof personality was also a very rare realm in life.
However, as a young man in her twenties, Bing Ying felt that Nangong Chaoyun lacked the courage and courage of a man!
But at this moment, she changed her opinion of Nangong Chaoyun!
At least, directly bid 10,000 silver! This kind of courage was not something an ordinary person had!
Moreover, when he was auctioning off the ginseng, he had calmly admitted that this prince of his could only afford a price of three thousand taels.
It seemed like those rich kids knew that Nangong Chao Yun was determined to get this treasured sword, so they avoided bidding?
Nangong Chaoyun was determined to win against Qing Qing?
Qing Su was Nangong Xiu's treasured sword!
Based on Nangong Chaoyun's personality, even if he loved this treasured sword, he would not have the competitive spirit to compete with his royal brother.
Moreover, everyone knew that Nangong Chaoyun did not like to practice the sword and play the zither. It was not bad for him to buy a rare zither, but to buy a sword with his own brother's sword, that was a bit strange and puzzling!
No one else on the scene dared to make a bid!
Everyone could see that Nangong Chaoyun was determined to get this Green Treasure Sword!
Who would be willing to offend the dignified third prince?
Even if he wasn't the crown prince, he was still a prince. He would still be a prince in the future no matter what.
Moreover, no one dared to bid more than 10,000 taels of silver!
The auctioneer thought: "This sword is also sold at this price! I'm afraid not many people would dare to fight with the third prince for a treasured sword! "
"Is there anyone who would like to bid higher?"
"If there's no one else, then this treasured cyan sword belongs to Third Prince Nangong Chao Yun!"
Just as the auctioneer was about to knock down the hammer, Shen Suyun tremblingly raised his sign and said, "I bid 11,000 taels!"
The moment the auctioneer heard someone bid, he immediately shouted, "Young master Shen Suyun bids 11,000 taels! He is an auctioneer and of course wants to bid higher and higher so that he can get more commission. "
Nangong Chaoyun added a bid, "12000!"
Shen Suyun said, "13,000!"
Nangong Chaoyun said, "15,000!"
Shen Suyun was getting a little scared! He was a Blade Master and would not even frown if he risked his life. However, a sword actually sold for fifteen thousand taels of silver! His heart was trembling!
Although Young Master Wang had told him that he would be able to bid however much he wanted, Shen Suyun's ideal price was around ten thousand taels. Even the highest price he could get at was fifteen thousand taels of silver!
The Cloud Chasing Sword from before was about the same as Qing Yu's sword, but it was only worth 6000 taels!
Thus, he had thought that even if Nangong Xiu had used a treasure sword before, it would still only appear to be around ten thousand taels of silver at the most.
But unexpectedly, the price had risen to 15,000 gold coins! This had completely exceeded his expectations! Even if Young Master Wang wanted to pay, he wouldn't dare to bid anymore!
Shen Suyun no longer wanted to bid, so Nangong Chaoyun shouted again, "I offer 18,000 taels!"
He had overturned his own price and added another three thousand taels!
Now, even if one was a fool, no one would bid!
This was the proof of Nangong Chaoyun's determination to obtain this treasured sword! Moreover, he was emphasizing that if anyone dared to bid again, it would be a blatant provocation and contempt for him, the prince!
Shen Suyun originally had a trace of hesitation, but now, he didn't even dare to think about it!
This treasured sword was not fated to be his!
Shen Suyun's heart was filled with disappointment as he said, "Your Highness Third Prince is generous! I admit defeat! "
Nangong Chaoyun said happily, "Young master Shen, there is no need to be modest! "You are a famous swordsman in the capital. The Cloud Chasing Sword is above all weapons. I'm afraid the Cyan Treasure Sword does not enter your eyes."
Shen Suyun said with shame, "I don't dare to!"
The auctioneer said: "I now announce that the Blue Wind Treasure Sword belongs to the Third Prince …"
"Wait! I bid twenty thousand! "
Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded from the back of the crowd.
Bing Ying finally raised the plate in her hand.
Originally, she did not intend to reveal herself, but she knew that the price had exceeded Shen Suyun's expectations. He definitely would not dare to bid, and would also feel embarrassed to directly go against the Third Prince.
Therefore, she had to do it herself!
The auctioneer was so scared that his face turned green!
Shen Suyun's face was also green. When he saw that Bing Ying had called out a price of twenty thousand, he was extremely shocked. However, he felt even more grateful: "Master is so good to me, in the future, I, Shen, will definitely swear loyalty to Master!"
"20,000 silver?" This... "What kind of concept is that?"
Aside from the three Legendary Absolute Soul Magic Tools recorded in the history books, there had never been a weapon that could be sold for 20,000 taels of silver.
Nangong Yun turned her head and saw that it was a handsome young man she had never seen before. She felt a little suspicious in her heart: This young man was very unfamiliar, he shouldn't be from the capital's Shangguan Family. She didn't know who he was, but he was this bold?
His guess was that Nangong Chaoyun did not give up and directly raised the bid to 22000 taels!
Bing Ying continued to raise her board. She was too lazy to call out a price!
In any case, he would just raise the price by 100 taels of silver each time!
Although Nangong Chaoyun's expression was a bit dark, he kept calling out prices …
Just like this, one of them yelled and the other raised his sign …
