Shen Haoxuan watched the bidding with interest. It was not as obvious as the previous bids, but it had clearly slowed down, but this time, he used gold as the bargaining chip, a mere silver was nothing strange.
Xie Qingrong lightly knocked on the table, leaned against the window and said loudly: "Three thousand five hundred and one taels of gold."
imitating how Shen Haoxuan did just now, he increased the quantity by one to two.
When everyone heard this strange increase in price, they immediately understood that this was the voice from the private room. Following the direction of the voice, they saw a beautiful face.
The silver moonlight hit the side of her face and made her feel like an immortal fairy.
The crowd was stunned, until a cold voice came from the private box. It was like a world of ice and snow. The voice was ice-cold and it gave off a cold feeling. They could not help but shiver.
"Four thousand taels of gold."
The price was immediately raised to four thousand silvers. Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Even after competing for a long time, they still managed to get it to three thousand and five hundred silvers. Who would have thought that the people in the Yellow Ranked room would be so generous, their gazes immediately turning to the Heavenly Ranked room.
From the start to the end, there had been no sound or movement from this room, as if nothing could arouse their interest. Thus, they also wanted to see how fierce the competition between the four rooms would be.
However, it was destined to disappoint them. The Sky Room was empty.
The Moon Reflecting Pavilion didn't seem to have any explanation, as if he was accustomed to never appearing in the Sky No. 1 Room.
"Four thousand and one taels of gold." Xie Qingrong continued to raise the bid leisurely, still increasing it by one tael, no more, no less.
"Four thousand five hundred liang of gold." The mysterious figure continued with his ice-cold voice. Each bid was five hundred and five hundred liang, afraid that no one would not know how rich the people inside were.
"4,500 taels of gold."
"Five thousand taels of gold."
"5,001 taels of gold."
"Five thousand and five hundred taels of gold."
Later. No one had any desire to fight for it anymore. Although they were rich, they could not afford to spend so much, especially the people in the yellow box.
Could he be a fool?
"Eight thousand taels of gold." A cold voice sounded.
Xie Qingrong was quiet for a rare moment. Although she wanted to use this method to make people know the difficulty of the situation and back off, she didn't expect that Gongsun Heng would actually keep increasing the bid by 500 taels.
She could already tell that the person inside the private box was Crown Prince of Chu Gongsun Heng. Such a ice-cold voice with characteristics like this, after hearing it once, it would be impossible to forget it again.
Presumably, Gongsun Heng had already recognized his identity, which was why he was chasing after him.
In contrast to the calmness on this side, the yellow private box was not calm at all. Gongsun Yan asked with some puzzlement: "Big Brother, why are you following closely? Could it be that she is interested in this treasure map as well? "
Gongsun Yan was completely unable to understand why Gongsun Heng would want to go against a woman. With such an increase in price, even if the Chu Country was a great country, it would not be so extravagant.
Furthermore, his own royal brother would always have an ice-cold and indifferent appearance, and the deep blue eyes that were a little bit deep would always have nothing to do with him. How could a mere treasure map arouse Gongsun Heng's interest?
Indeed, the reason why Gongsun Heng was interested wasn't because of the treasure map, but rather, Xie Qingrong.
He had never seen a girl like her who could break his plans amidst the sound of a siren filled with killing intent and carve out a trail of blood in a scene where experts were everywhere.
He would be able to escape from the withered grasses that flourished under the precipices and the continuous rise and fall of the mountain fire.
At that time, he was still a little regretful that such a wondrous girl was about to fall. Unexpectedly, she did not die, and even planned a perfect plan to escape.
Later on, within the Misty Mountain, it was only then that he finally fell for his.
Ever since the Misty Mountain, he had never forgotten about her. It was a pity that she already had a husband, but he never cared about that.
Subconsciously clenching his fists tightly, the icy-cold expression in his eyes, as though he was ignoring an ant, finally had a slight change. Xie Qingrong, he had to win!
Thus, he blurted out eight thousand taels of gold.
Unexpectedly, Xie Qingrong fell silent.
However, he had his own plans.
"Chen, do we still need to increase the price?" Xie Qingrong said indifferently, although eight thousand gold was not a huge sum, it was still considered a large sum.
Although the treasure map was good, no one knew whether there were treasures inside, or whether there were those rare treasures that would make people want to buy them.
If he spent eight thousand taels of silver to buy a useless piece of paper, then the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
Xuanyuan Chen pinched the wine cup, and finished all the contents in it in one gulp. A hint of a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said, "I'll play however A Rong wants, so there's no need to worry too much."
It was precisely because of Xuanyuan Chen's words that Xie Qingrong realized how much Xuanyuan Chen liked him, without any limits. She could clearly tell that something was clearly wrong with Xuanyuan Chen's emotions at times, but he had suppressed it for her sake.
This thought, which had never been expressed in words, moved her even more.
Xie Qingrong smiled slightly, the smile on her face seemed to form a line with the stars in the sky, she was so beautiful that it was hard to look at, and she gave up on the idea of adding him in.
Furthermore, looking for treasures was such an important matter, even if Gongsun Heng sent people over secretly, she could still send people over to keep an eye on it.
Although the Royal Family of Chu was indestructible, as long as one was a human, they would have their weakness and weakness. At that time, the spy she had planted in the Chu Country would secretly find an opportunity to ambush and enter the Royal Family of Chu.
After a long while, no one from the Moon Reflecting Pavilion called out for an increase in bid.
At this time, the low and vigorous voice rang out: "The Ancient Kingdom's treasure map returns to the yellow character's possession."
As for the treasure map that he had obtained, a flash of astonishment passed through Gongsun Heng's eyes, and he quickly reverted back to his ice-cold expression.
Gongsun Heng looked at the palm-sized parchment in his hand and pinched it.
Gongsun Yan followed behind Gongsun Heng. Seemingly feeling the unhappy aura coming from her own royal brother, she closed her mouth and pretended to be obedient.
"Please wait, Princess Consort Chen." Gongsun Heng saw Xie Qingrong's graceful figure on the street and immediately shouted out for her.
Xie Qingrong naturally recognized Gongsun Heng's voice and was puzzled for a moment. When she turned around, she had a congratulatory smile on her face, "Congratulations Your Highness for obtaining the treasure map."
Gongsun Heng stared fixedly at the smiling girl in front of him, but he felt that this was not an emotion he should have, and the meaning in his eyes could not understand.
Xuanyuan Chen was somewhat unhappy with Gongsun Heng's staring at him, he frowned and said unhappily: "This king has experienced the gift of being able to treat others, today."
Xie Qingrong held Xuanyuan Chen's hand hidden in her sleeve and smiled at Xuanyuan Chen consolingly.
