"I'm afraid that if they were to send more people, they would end up in the same situation." Dong Fang Qian said while stroking a piece of Pi Xiu paper carved from topaz. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Have you heard of the Million Treasures Store's auction?"

"Does Your Majesty mean that the direct disciple of Old Man Tianji answered three questions?"

"That's right, I've never heard of Old Man Tianji accepting disciples. Could the Myriad Treasures Pavilion be borrowing Old Man Tianji's name to earn money?"

Although the background of the pavilion is unknown, its reputation is extremely good. For more than a hundred years, there has never been any fraud. This servant has heard that once, a shop assistant of the pavilion was cheated into a fake ancient cauldron and was sold to a merchant from Fuzhou at the monthly auction."

Dong Fang Qian looked down at the paperweight in his hands, and said coldly: "Looking at the time, the auction will start tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, tomorrow morning at a quarter past three."

After a brief moment of silence, Dong Fang casually tossed the paperweight back onto the table. "Make the arrangements. Tomorrow, come with me to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion."

"Yes." Lu Yi wasn't surprised by this instruction, she had already guessed it when Dongfang Ru asked about Old Man Tianji.

Ever since the news of the auction of Old Man Tianji's direct disciple had spread, countless people came to the pavilion every day to inquire about the situation, making the gatekeepers extremely annoyed. After sending away a group of people with much difficulty, another person came over before they could even catch their breath: two young ladies, one covered in a veil, with only a pair of clear autumn eyes, the other with a round face to please them. Before they could even open their mouths, the gatekeeper impatiently said, "Young Master won't see anyone.

Xia Yue smiled and said, "You misunderstand. The one my lady wants to meet is your Myriad Treasures Pavilion's boss."

"Our boss?" The gatekeeper looked at them both in surprise. "What is it?"

Mu Qianxue's beautiful eyes turned slightly as she said in a low voice, "Tell your boss that I have a way to resolve the Wei River disaster."

The guard pondered for a moment: "You guys wait here. I'll pass through the message."

After he entered, Xia Yue said in a low voice: "Princess, I heard that Boss Wan's driver is quite big. Many people come here with gifts and may not even see him once. He …" Will you really meet us? " He had been the founder of the pavilion for many years, and his origins were unknown. The only thing that outsiders knew was that the owner of the pavilion was surnamed Wan, and was passed on from generation to generation.

Mu Qianxue calmly said, "The disaster of the Wei River has been plaguing the pavilion for many years. Countless treasures have been lost in the Wei River and they have always been a thorn in the heart of the pavilion. Therefore, he will definitely meet them."

In order to maintain the monthly auction, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion had sent many people to search for treasures everywhere. In order to maintain the monthly auction, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion had sent many people to search for treasures everywhere.

The Wei River was five hundred feet wide and several tens of feet long. It ran through the West Chu, North Zhou, and East Ling, and Jinling was located to the north of the Wei River. After the dynasty was destroyed, all the palaces and palaces were set ablaze, but the tombs of the Generals and Emperors were preserved, just like precious mountains hidden underground, causing the later generations to rush in like a flock of ducks, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was one of them.

Originally, everything had been going smoothly, but from seven years ago, a group of fierce river robbers appeared on the Weihe River and plundered the boats. The pavilion was also not spared, and a set of Twelve Lives Jade Tathagata, which had just come out of the tomb, was stolen. I heard that it was sold to a wealthy merchant at a high price.

The River Bandits who had tasted the sweetness became even more violent. As long as they discovered the ships of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, they would definitely plunder them. Even though the Myriad Treasures Pavilion's reputation in Jin Ling was quite well-known, they could not intimidate this group of the River Bandits.

In the past few years, the Myriad Treasures Store had lost at least a hundred thousand or so silver taels on the Wei River. Now that they were being provoked and bullied like this, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion would naturally not hold back and invite experts from the Jianghu to exterminate this group of river pirates. In the beginning, they had caught and killed a few river bandits without knowing where they were hiding, but very soon, those river bandits had become obedient and did not fight directly with them.

Several times, more than a dozen gangsters had died at the hands of the river bandits. The Myriad Treasures Pavilion had to pay several tens of thousands of silver taels for this. Even worse, no one was willing to accept this task.

Finally, the matter came to an end. The river bandits were still wreaking havoc, coming and going without a trace. Even the soldiers couldn't do anything to them.

As for the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, in order to reduce their losses, they had to take the road, bypass the West Chu or East Peak. Not to mention the long time, they also had to be on guard against being discovered by the soldiers of the two countries. It could be said that because of the existence of this group of River Pirates, the tombs on the south bank of the Wei River were practically crippled.

Sure enough, after a while, the gatekeeper walked out and said, "My boss invites the two ladies to the main hall for a chat."

The moment she entered, she saw a well-built man slowly drinking tea there. This was the owner of this pavilion, and beside him stood a middle-aged man with hawk eyes and a nose. Mu Qianxue remembered that this man was the auctioneer responsible for the < Eight Arrays of Wind > auction two months ago.

Mu Qianxue walked to the main hall and greeted him, "Greetings, Boss Wan."

"No need for formalities." After gesturing for Mu Qianxue to take a seat, Boss Wan swept his gaze over her body and said, "Two months ago, I had an important matter to attend to. After returning, I heard that a masked lady surnamed Mu was bidding with a young master of the Jiang Ning Zhang family for the < Wind Queen Eight Arrays Military Diagram >.

Mu Qianxue bowed from her seat and said, "You're indeed a little girl. Boss Wan is embarrassed."

Boss Wan chuckled. "Lady Mu is so heroic and unyielding. I don't have enough time to admire her, so how can I be amused by her." As he spoke, his eyes sparkled as he said, "I heard from my subordinate that the lady said that she had a way to resolve the Wei River disaster. Is this for real?"

Mu Qianxue gently waved the hexagonal silk fan in her hand, and the surface of the fan, which was as thin as the morning mist, gave off a light breeze.

Her words caused a hint of happiness to flash across Boss Wan's eyes, "Please do not hesitate to enlighten me, Lady Mu. If I can really get rid of that group of River Pirates, I will definitely repay you with a huge sum of money!"

Mu Qianxue's long eyelashes moved slightly as a melodious voice sounded out from behind the muslin. "Although gold and silver are good, they are not what this little girl wants."
