Disaster For the Country · Return Journey

Chapter 17 – Chaotic First

Hu Qianniang sat on the bow of the red sail boat, staring at the sea below, full of melancholy.

The rain has stopped, the sea is calm, and the calm sea is like a whole piece of fine sapphire, reflecting her shadow. It is said that she has a good fate, that she will be reincarnated, and that she was born in the richest family in the world. However, she has no mother to rely on, no father to act like a spoiled child, and no friends to talk to. Those who follow her are either servants or sycophants. They have seen too much hypocrisy, so they don’t bother to go Distinguished and compared one by one.

Sixteen-year-old Hu Qianniang is at the stage where she can feel the most lonely in her life. Just at this time, I met Xue Cai.

She still remembers all the details of that day. As small as the silver phoenix embroidered on Xue Cai’s shoes, as large as the red clouds in the sky at that time, as well as the bustling crowd and the broken Guqin, all are deeply imprinted in my memory…

Before Hu Qianniang met Xue Cai, she had heard about him for many, many years.

There are four countries in the Weifang Continent, with a total population of 70 million. This is an era when a hundred schools of thought are contending, and there are many amazing and brilliant characters. However, the most famous among them is Xue Cai.

He is the grandson of Xue Huai, the former general of Tubi. His aunt Xue Ming was once a queen. Because she offended the emperor Zhao Yin, she was executed by all the families. At that time, Bai Zehou Ji Ying begged to keep him, and since then he has become Ji Ying’s slave, serving around. After Ji Ying passed away, the title of Bai Ze was passed on to him. After the new queen Jiang Chenyu came to power, he was even promoted to be the prime minister.

That year, Xue Cai was nine years old.

And she, fifteen years old.

Ever since Hu Qianniang could remember, she had heard some rumors about him, she was full of curiosity about this long-renowned child prodigy, and she wholeheartedly hoped to see it with her own eyes.

The opportunity finally came last fall.

Empress Jiang promoted Xue Cai as chancellor, but the scholar refused to accept it and made trouble, slandering him with nonsense in the streets every day.

Xue Cai was enraged, and posted a notice on the street, taking Ding Cooking Shuotang as an example, declaring that within seven days, no matter who is more powerful than him to be the prime minister of Bi Kingdom, he can challenge him. If he is defeated, he will give up the phase.

As soon as this remark came out, the whole world was shocked.

People who heard the news gathered in the imperial capital from all directions. Hu Qianniang happened to pass by the Red Garden at that time, so she changed into men’s clothes to join in the fun accompanied by the maidservant Shiliu.

Seven full days.

From noon to Xu time.

The child, who was not as tall as her shoulders, was dressed in white, with phoenixes embroidered on his shoes, and he sat down on the main seat with a big face, chatting with the scholars and eloquently, until the scholars were speechless. Word.

Hu Qianniang went there on the first day because she was curious;

Going on the second day is exciting;

Going on the third day is to explore;

On the fourth day, I was amazed;

Going on the fifth day is admiration;

Going on the sixth day is admiration;

But on the seventh day, it was completely interesting.

She is Hu Bugui’s daughter.

From birth, fate is different from ordinary people. According to her father Hu Jiuxian’s words – even the princess of a country is not as noble as her.

Rich in the world is actually a terrible word. For there is nothing lacking, and nothing is desired.

There are not many things in this world that can interest her.

However, at that moment, Hu Qianniang looked at the indifferent Xue Cai, who was only nine years old, and seemed to see the rarest treasure in the world, and truly felt something called longing sprouting deep in her heart. It grows a mouth, opens and closes, shouting two words—

I want.

I want!

I want this person.

She made up her mind, picked up the piano, and just at the hour of the seventh day when everyone thought the general situation was settled, she walked out of the crowd, walked into the lobby, and said loudly: “Wait a minute. I am too late to be talented, and I want to compete with the prime minister on piano skills.”

Everyone was shocked.

Xue Cai set up the stage, and compared with others is the talent of economics and the skill of appearance, but she wants to compare him with the piano art, which has nothing to do with him. In fact, Hu Qianniang knows that she is making trouble for no reason, but she doesn’t know why in her heart, she just knows—— Xue Cai will definitely agree.

If he is really the Bingli in the legend, he should promise her and defeat her fiercely, so as to live up to the name of arrogance.

Come on, Xue Cai, let me see if you are the one in my mind.

The one who can overpower me, suppress me, and make me bow down to you like the world.

There was not much surprise on Xue Cai’s face, but he frowned slightly, as if a little impatient: “What did you say?”

“I want to play the violin with you.” Hu Qianniang took a few steps towards him. In the closer distance, his facial features became more and more clear, with dark pupils and long eyelashes—a nine-year-old child with long A pair of eyes that can’t see the depth.

Her heart trembled, but she remained calm on the surface, “Didn’t the prime minister say that anyone can challenge you within the seven days? I will challenge you to see the prime minister’s piano skills.”

There are discussions all around.

Xue Cai looked at her for a while, then smiled coldly: “Okay.”

The surrounding discussions suddenly turned into gasps.

But the buds in her heart grew and blossomed.

Xue Cai said again: “I know what you think in your heart. If I don’t agree to you, you will definitely declare that the ring I set up has loopholes. Such loopholes in the rules of the competition, even if it is compared, it will not be accurate at all. It’s not countable, so as to further obliterate all my brilliant achievements in the past seven days—right?”

Yes, yes, you are right. Hu Qianniang looked at him with some fascination.

Xue Cai said word by word in a deep voice: “So, I will definitely not do what you wish. You want to compete on the piano, right? Come on! Then let’s compare!”

He accepted the challenge as she wished.

She also won me as she wished.

To this day, she still remembers the last words Xue Cai said that day: “Power is also a kind of strength. If you don’t surpass my strength, why would you want to replace me?”

A person who obviously can’t play the piano, but defeated her who is proficient in piano skills in an absolutely powerful way. Others thought he was using martial arts and power, but only Hu Qianniang knew that it was arrogance.

It was his arrogance that made her as deadly and ecstasy as drinking poisoned wine.

An arrogance rarely seen in a century.

Thinking back to this, Hu Qianniang felt her face was very cold, and when she reached out to touch it, tears flowed down her face unconsciously.

She decided to marry Xue Cai from that day on. But everyone thought it was a fantasy.

Even her father found her unreasonable.

“Isn’t it just six years older? All your concubines are twenty or thirty years younger than you! Why is it okay for a man to be older than a woman, but not for a woman to be older than a man?” She remembered her angrily retorting at that time, and also remembered the look in her father’s eyes As cold as ice: “I can force them with money, can you?”

Yes, so what if she is the daughter of the richest man in the world? Xue Cai… is the prime minister of a country…

Father lied to her. She is not as noble as a princess at all. Therefore, Cheng Wang Yishu can blatantly identify Xue Cai as a candidate for husband-in-law, and when she Hu Qianniang says she wants to marry, the world will say that she is a laughing stock.

Hu Qianniang wiped away the tears on her face, but wiped more and more. When she was being wronged, she suddenly heard the boatman scream.

She was displeased and reprimanded: “What’s the name of the ghost? Didn’t you see that I was thinking about something?”

“Little Miss! It’s leaking, it’s leaking!!”

Hu Qianniang was taken aback, and turned around quickly, and saw that the bottom of the boat was leaking somewhere, and water was gurgling into it. The boatman found a bucket and scooped water out desperately, but he couldn’t pour it in fast enough, and soon the boat began to sink.

Hu Qianniang stomped her feet angrily: “Didn’t you check when you set off?”

“I’ve checked it, and it’s fine. And you were in a hurry…”

“Trash! Set off fireworks for help!”

The boatman frantically found the fireworks from a certain box, his expression suddenly changed: “It’s wet…”

Hu Qianniang looked around, and they were far away from the “Jiuxian” at this moment, but she was very good at swimming and should be able to swim back. She gritted her teeth, turned out of the water and put on her clothes: “Break the boat! Hold the board and swim back !”

Just as the boat was about to be dismantled, the boatman suddenly saw something, and his face was overjoyed: “No, there is no need to swim! Over there! There is a boat over there!”

Hu Qianniang turned her head, and saw a warship appearing on the distant seashore, with the “cloud” totem embroidered on the flag.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

***

On the Jiuxian, the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Just because of Feng Xiaoya’s phrase “travel on an elephant”.

Who didn’t know that this was the most humiliating thing in Ma Kang’s life, and now that Feng Xiaoya mercilessly threw it on Ma Fu’s face, the face of this rising star with a reputation of Cheng Guo was visibly stiff.

He squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: “I heard that Mr. He is extremely skilled in martial arts, which is rare in the world…”

Feng Xiaoya laughed: “Do you want to fight me?”

Ma Fu held the guqin in his arms across his chest, with a very serious expression: “I’m not good at playing the qin, please teach me, Mr. He.”

When the guests heard that there was a fight, they immediately cheered up and watched the excitement with their eyes wide open.

Ai Xiaoxiao quickly smoothed things over: “The banquet has been prepared, why don’t you eat first…” Before finishing speaking, Hu Jiuxian gave him a wink, Ai Xiaoxiao was startled, and immediately tuned in, but the doubts in his heart grew stronger—the master didn’t stop ? Do you want your guests to fight?

Mr. Ge also sighed. He is a regular guest of the Happy Banquet, and he has participated in it four times in total. In previous years, even if there were conflicts among the guests at the banquet, he could still pretend to be amiable on the surface. Normally speaking, Feng Xiaoya and Ma Fu didn’t have a firecracker temper, but now they are about to fight in a few words, could it be that their auras are really at odds?

Ai Xiaoxiao winked, and all the beauties who were singing and dancing retreated to make way for the empty lobby.

Ma Fushou flicked on the piano lightly, the sound of gold and jade resounded, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of fear.

Feng Xiaoya smiled, signaling Jiao Buqi to leave her.

Although Jiao Buqi hesitated, he followed suit and took a few steps back.

Yi Fei whispered to Qiu Jiang, “Come and bet on who will win?”

Upon hearing this, Yun Xingshan immediately said, “Of course it’s Feng Xiaoya!”

Yi Feiliang glanced at him: “Do you still have money to bet?”

Yun Xingshan stopped talking immediately.

Qiu Jiang frowned, and said after a while: “Have you handed in Bo Xing?”

“Hand it in. Don’t worry, the sale will start when the dinner is almost eaten, and you won’t be delayed.”

Qiu Jiang hummed, then lowered her head again, showing no interest in the duel between Feng Xiaoya and Changqin.

Yi Fei rolled his eyes, stopped talking, and focused on the field.

Over there, Ma Fu said in a deep voice: “Although my qin is not as good as Prince Changqin’s with fifty strings, it still has fifteen strings. There are mysteries in every string. Mr. He, please be careful.”

Feng Xiaoya responded lightly: “Okay.”

As soon as his words fell, Ma Fu waved his long sleeves lightly, and his fingers started to play on the piano like dragonflies splashing water. Accompanied by the rapid sound of the zither, all the people around felt a huge pressure spread rapidly around the horse, and hurriedly moved their respective cases back a little, so as not to be affected by the disaster.

But Feng Xiaoya, who was the target, remained unmoved.

A string on the piano snapped and flew straight towards him. Seeing that the broken string was about to stab Feng Xiaoya between the eyebrows, he swung his left hand and pulled out an umbrella from under the slider.

The umbrella spun open with a bang, Feng Xiaoya’s person also flew up.

It was a light blue oiled paper umbrella, which looked like an elegantly blooming orchid in the diffuse snowflakes.

Ma Fu kept his fingers, and the second and third strings flew out rapidly.

The guests present were all dignified and knowledgeable, but none of them could tell what piece he was playing, they only felt that the sound of the piano was very exciting, which made people’s blood boil and inexplicably irritable, wishing they could rush up and start killing.

Yi Fei’s originally sloppy expression became serious, and he said in a low voice: “The battle of the heavens, the battle of Banquan, the song of Yan Fu on the Changqin, which makes everything wither… This is the song of Yan Fu.”

Yun Xingxing turned her head: “Do you know the name of the song?”

Yi Fei said: “Not only that, just watch, there will be fire…”

As soon as he said the word fire, the two broken strings flying in the air suddenly burst into flames, the flames were like giant dragons, chasing Feng Xiaoya’s umbrella closely, it looked like two dragons grabbing a pearl.

Although the fire dragon is in a hurry, the snow umbrella is lighter.

If Ma Fu’s attack showed the beauty of swiftness and strength, then Feng Xiaoya’s defense was the beauty of elegance and agility. He casually clicked, stepped, and jumped, and all the fire dragon’s attacks fell through.

Yi Fei couldn’t help but praised: “Good martial arts.” Looking back at Qiu Jiang, he felt that a hero is sad but a beauty. With Feng Xiaoya’s martial arts skills, it is reasonable to say that no one in this world can kill by his side, but he married the wrong woman, and finally let the person next to his pillow harm his father.

Feng Letian died at the hands of Qiu Jiang. Although I don’t know if there is another reason for it, it is still embarrassing enough.

In the arena, Ma Fu saw that he could not stop the battle for a long time, so he vibrated the strings of the piano again and changed the tune.

The sound of the piano changed from sharp to slow, from heavy to light. Before it was clear that thousands of horses were galloping, suddenly, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and only a small deer was left running happily.

Yi Fei said leisurely: “Well, this is a deer song.”

The fourth string left the piano frame, circled and pierced towards Feng Xiaoya.

Feng Xiaoya shook his hand, and the umbrella closed with a whoosh, and he fell lightly onto the deck, then stood still and stopped flying around, but used the umbrella as a sword to catch the attacks one by one, and rebounded go back.

Yi Fei sighed, “Just now I overcame rigidity with softness, now I restrain it with stillness. You are worthy of Mr. He.”

Yun Xingshan asked: “Does that mean Ma Fu is going to lose?”

Yi Fei shook his head: “That’s not necessarily the case. In the two matches between Banquan and Zhuolu, Changqin was the loser. But when it comes to Buzhou Mountain, it’s…”

As if in response to his comment, Ma Fu’s tune changed again, becoming erratic and unpredictable.

At the same time, the remaining eleven strings were released at the same time, flying towards Feng Xiaoya all over the sky.

Seeing that Feng Xiaoya’s whole body was covered in strings and it was difficult to get out, everyone’s heart tightened as they watched—

He suddenly disappeared.

That’s it – by! null! remove! lose!

Ma Fu was startled, and quickly jumped over with the Qin in his arms.

There is a hole in Wanda’s deck.

It turned out that Feng Xiaoya stepped on the plank on the ground when the army was about to launch, and fell down.

At this point in the competition, Ma Fu couldn’t bear to jump down and continue pestering, so he snorted coldly, turned around and walked back to his seat without saying a word.

Yun Xingxing spat: “Young master, you’re showing me this after you haven’t even eaten your meal? It’s boring.”

The crowd also followed suit.

Ai Xiaoxiao laughed and said: “It is indeed the master of the two totems, the Changqin. This match is really evenly matched and exciting, which is an eye-opener for me! Let’s go to the end today, the time will not change.” Morning, let’s start the banquet quickly, the cooks should cry when the dishes are cold!”

The beautiful maids with plump muscles and delicate bones served the delicious food and wine one by one. There was a high platform on the west side of the hall. Xiao Xiao turned around and went to the bilge.

Just as Yi Fei was about to talk to Qiu Jiang, he turned his head, only to find that Qiu Jiang had disappeared. “When did you leave?” He asked Yun Xingxing, Yun Xingxing’s eyes widened: “Even you didn’t notice, how would I know?”

***

Ai Xiaoxiao came below the deck and was about to enter the cabin where the hole was, when Meng Buli who came down one step earlier stopped the door: “My lord, I’m changing clothes, wait a moment.”

Ai Xiaoxiao quickly responded and waited outside with him.

In the room separated by a door, Jiao Buqi helped Feng Xiaoya take off her outer robe, only to see that the obscene clothes inside had been soaked with sweat.

Feng Xiaoya’s body shook and she couldn’t stand up. Jiao Buqi hurriedly supported him to lie flat on the ground, and took a sweat towel to help him wipe off his sweat.

“Young master, what do you think?” Jiao Buqi asked with concern, “Do you want me to let Buli come in and help you?”

Feng Xiaoya closed his eyes tightly to adjust his breathing, and the internal force in his body was disordered, making him so painful that he couldn’t speak at all.

Jiao Buqi took out an incense stick from his bosom and lit it, the strange fragrance spread quickly, and Feng Xiaoya’s breathing gradually stabilized a little.

Jiao Buqi stood aside, he knew that this was the critical moment for the son to perform his skills, and there should be no interruptions, so he was extra vigilant.

Just then, he heard footsteps.

Jiao Buqi turned his head immediately, but only saw the gray hair, and passed out without even seeing the other person’s face clearly.

The person who came hugged Jiao Buqi’s fallen body and gently placed it on the ground. She was quiet enough, but Feng Xiaoya, who had her eyes closed, still heard it. Her ears moved, her face flushed in vain, and her forehead was bulging It looked a little distorted.

At this moment, a pair of cool hands gently cupped his face.

Feng Xiaoya, who was originally restless, froze at first, and then miraculously calmed down.

Those hands poured a steady stream of internal energy into his body, accompanied by the incense that filled the room, like the undulating but calm sea water under the night moon, they washed away the messy shells, sea crabs and other sundries over and over again, leaving behind Down the flat, blanket-like sandy beach.

Feng Xiaoya felt that she was extremely relaxed after being extremely tense, and she was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly, he shuddered and opened his eyes.

The incense on the side was only burned by a third.

There was only Jiao Buqi lying on the ground in the room, and there was no other person.

Jiao Buqi rubbed his eyes and sat up: “I fell asleep? Wait! Someone came here just now!” But after he jumped up and saw the situation around him clearly, he asked in confusion, “Where’s the old man?”

Feng Xiaoya’s expression became very strange: “It’s not the old man.”

“That’s an old woman?” Jiao Buqi searched the objects in the room, trying to find any clues.

“It’s Qiu Jiang.”

“What?! She’s also on the boat?!” Jiao Buqi was taken aback.

Feng Xiaoya stroked the Buddhist beads in her hand. He had sensed Qiu Jiang’s breath in Hu Qianniang’s room before, but now he confirmed that Qiu Jiang was indeed on board. Not only that, but she also recovered her memory.

He competed with Ma Fu for two purposes, the first is to test the opponent’s background and see if he can directly eliminate the opponent. Ma Fu’s martial arts are higher than he imagined, and he needs to fight quickly to make a real move. The second is to see if Qiu Jiang will react to this.

And Qiu Jiang really appeared, and helped him sort out his energy channels after the war.

This method was only taught to her by her father during his lifetime. She can use it, indicating that the memory has been restored.

But…if she really recovered her memory, why…didn’t take the opportunity to kill him? After all, the cold-blooded and ruthless Qi’er of the Ruyi Sect was not influenced by him four years ago, but killed his father instead, and became his sworn enemy.

Also, Qiu Jiang is here, so what about Yi Fei? Are you there?

The two of them were supposed to go directly to Luwan, why did they get on this boat? What is their purpose?

Feng Xiaoya looked at the beads, thinking about the last question—why didn’t Qiu Jiang take this opportunity to get it back? This is her thing. Does this mean that she…

Upset?

***

When Ai Xiaoxiao came back, the seventh course was being served.

Yi Fei stroked his chin and said, “Could it be that Feng Xiaoya was injured?”

Yun Shining was curious: “Why do you say that?”

“Otherwise, if it’s just changing clothes, it wouldn’t take so long.” Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xiaoya, who had changed her clothes, came back on a sliding pole, her face pale and gloomy—but because he was always so sick, it made people feel sick. It was impossible to tell whether there was any injury or not.

Yun Shining looked expectantly at Ma Fu who was already eating, hoping that they would continue to fight again. In the end, the two of them didn’t look at each other, their faces were calm as if the contest just now hadn’t happened.

Yun Shining felt very disappointed.

At this time, Yi Fei saw Qiu Jiang. He deliberately kept his eyes wide open and waited, only then did he see Qiu Jiang walk into the banquet hall behind the maid who delivered the food, and naturally stop behind him when the maid passed by Yun Shining—without arousing anyone’s notice, except him.

Yi Fei’s eyes fell on her slightly wet temples, and he analyzed in his heart: Well, this is a big deal.

Yun Shanshan turned her head to talk to Yi Fei, but when she saw Qiu Jiang came back, she couldn’t help being shocked: “Why did you go there?”

Qiu Jiang handed her something, an earring.

Yun Xingxing wondered: “Such rough craftsmanship is totally worthless.”

“An hour ago, I shot this thing into the… boat. Now, it’s back.”

Although Yun Xingshan didn’t have a heart, but now he understood that Hu Qianniang had fallen into his brother’s hands, and suddenly felt more confident in his heart, and bit the new hoof that was brought to the table hard.

Qiu Jiang lowered her eyebrows and stood obediently behind him. She couldn’t help touching her wrist, and realized a problem—she forgot to take back her bracelet just now.

***

Feng Xiaoya’s eyes searched the hall, not letting anyone go. However, no one who looked like Qiu Jiang was seen. But he also knew that when Qiu Jiang wanted to pretend to be a stranger, he wouldn’t be able to tell just by looking.

Since she is on the ship, and it is very likely that she has recovered her memory, then something must be done.

It stands to reason that all he needs to do is wait, but for some reason, he feels uneasy and has an ominous premonition. After pondering for a while, he whispered some instructions to Meng Buli, who nodded and turned to leave the banquet hall.

At this time, the maidservants filed in and offered tea. Often this also means that dinner is over and no more food will be served.

There was a burst of drumming on the high platform on the west side, followed by all the strings and bamboos stopped, the curtain was slowly opened, and everyone’s hearts were beating wildly—

The real fun has finally begun.

The reason why the happy banquet has been fondly talked about by the guests who have participated in the previous years is that in addition to the delicious food and wine, there is also a unique link-to win by playing tricks.

The so-called trick to win, as the name suggests, is a business method for hoarding shortages of supplies to make a profit, and it is also the most talked about place in Hu Jiuxian’s life.

The reason why he can become the richest man in the four countries is not only because of his rich ancestral business and the diligence of his parents, but also because of his innate unique vision and wise decision-making. He can always find business opportunities at the first time and monopolize them in a powerful way. He caught up with the chaos of the four countries 30 years ago and took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Coupled with the good time to recuperate after the war, the wealth rolled like a snowball. Become the first person in the four countries.

Therefore, he also made some arrangements for this happy banquet, in order to let the guests have an exciting and fun time.

In the eyes of everyone looking forward to it, Ai Xiaoxiao took the stage and explained the rules to the guests who came to play for the first time: “Thank you for your visit, my master specially prepared three treasures, and everyone will evaluate them. Received this item. In order to show justice, the real price of the treasure is written in advance and placed in the corresponding grid. Each person can only estimate once. During the period, everyone has three tokens in their hands, and they can ask questions with the token , As long as the price is not involved, I will answer truthfully, but every time I ask a question, I need to give me ten gold rewards.” Following these words, the maidservants gave three tokens to the twenty-four guests.

Feng Xiaoya took a look, the token was carved from bamboo, it was smooth and elegant in the hand.

Seeing that everyone got the tokens, Ai Xiaoxiao said with a smile: “In this way, I will demonstrate it to the new passengers who are boarding the ship for the first time, and it will be clear.”

He beckoned, and a maid came forward holding a tray.

Lifting off the red cloth on the tray, there was an emerald bracelet inside, emitting a faint green light under the light.

The guests present were all moved.

Sure enough, it is extraordinary as soon as it is shot.

This bracelet is expensive at first glance, but the butler of the Hu family only used it for demonstration.

Ai Xiaoxiao raised the bracelet high so that everyone could see it more carefully, then picked up another sealed letter from the tray, and said loudly: “The price of the bracelet is written in the letter. Now, please estimate the price. If you have any questions, ask Mine, please show the token.”

Just when everyone was still speculating and calculating with each other, Feng Xiaoya raised the first token without thinking.

Ai Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, “Mr. He, may I ask—”

“Is the question I asked, the token I used, the answer just tell me?”

Ai Xiaoxiao replied: “No, the villain will answer on the spot for everyone to hear.”

Feng Xiaoya held up the second token again: “Are you sure that the price you wrote is true?”

Ai Xiaoxiao was taken aback.

“One stone of rice can be obtained from farmers for ten qian, but it costs fifty qian when it comes to merchants. So, is the correct answer ten or fifty?”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone nodded.

Especially Yun Xingshan, who said loudly: “Yes! Those profiteers who go shopping when I go to buy things will go to their deaths!”

There was a burst of laughter all around.

Mr. Ge, who was sitting beside Feng Xiaoya, smiled lightly and said, “It’s hard to believe that Second Young Master Yun is aware of this.”

Feng Xiaoya’s gaze swept across Yun Xingxing, and then paused for a moment when passing Yi Fei inadvertently. Yi Fei’s heart skipped a beat—couldn’t he know Ding Sansan too?

But Feng Xiaoya quickly looked at Ai Xiaoxiao again, waiting for his answer.

This question was obviously considered by Hu Jiuxian when he designed the game, so Ai Xiaoxiao immediately replied: “Grand He has touched on the important point. Therefore, our game is called ‘Win by tricks’. Because—although you didn’t Guess it right, but you can change its price.” Ai Xiaoxiao raised the letterhead in his hand, shook it at everyone, and said, “The price of this bracelet at the last transaction was written on the letter. After the valuation, if you If no one guesses right, enter the next step, which is bidding. As long as your price is higher than everyone in the venue, you can buy this letter. Then, you have the final say on the number inside, how much this bracelet is worth It’s what the money is worth.”

Feng Xiaoya said: “I will pay one hundred dollars.”

Ai Xiaoxiao looked around: “Is there anyone with a higher bid than Mr. He?”

Everyone was calculating for a while, Yun Xingxian asked tentatively: “Two hundred dollars?”

“Okay, Mr. Yuner paid two hundred yuan. Is there any more?” Ai Xiaoxiao waited for a while, and seeing no one bid, he said, “Then, this letter will be sold to Yuner for two hundred yuan.” Young Master. Similarly, this bracelet belongs to Second Young Master Yun.”

Yun Xingshan didn’t expect that no one would follow her, so she quickly waved her hands and said, “I don’t want it!”

Everyone laughed again. Feng Xiaoya was thoughtful.

Ai Xiaoxiao coughed lightly, looked around and said, “Do you have any doubts?”

Feng Xiaoya said again: “That is to say, everyone guesses the price first, and if the guess is correct, you will get the treasure. If you guess wrong, you will bid to buy it? What if none of us buy it?”

Ai Xiaoxiao smiled confidently: “Since my master will choose those three treasures, there are naturally reasons why everyone must buy them.”

Mr. Ge on the side also laughed, nodded and said: “Indeed, I have participated four times before, and the treasures I saw each time made my trip worthwhile!”

When he said this, everyone was looking forward to it, eagerly waiting to see what kind of good goods Hu Jiuxian had prepared, and whether he was really as extravagant as the legend said.

Qiu Jiang suddenly asked in a low voice, “Where’s Bo Xing?”

Yi Fei replied: “After selling the master’s treasures, it will be the guests’ turn. Don’t worry.”

Qiu Jiang’s complexion changed slightly, Yi Fei noticed it, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

She didn’t answer, but her two thin lips were tightened again.

Yi Fei suddenly thought that Qiu Jiang could recite the names of the treasures sold at the Happy Banquet five years ago very smoothly… Thinking about it again, it seems that the Happy Banquet only added items three years ago, allowing guests to trade treasures by themselves , no wonder she didn’t know. Could it be that she was angry because of this?

——After all, for Qian Zhiniao, who is well-known and memorized, he has been blank for four years and changed from knowing everything to knowing nothing, which is indeed a big gap.

Yi Fei couldn’t help but hooked his lips mockingly.

Over there, Ai Xiaoxiao said: “Is there any problem with Mr. He?”

Feng Xiaoya spread her hands: “Although I still have problems, I don’t have any free tokens.”

Ai Xiaoxiao laughed: “So, everyone should cherish the only three opportunities. Come on, return the token to Mr. He, the demonstration is over, and then ask questions, but the real money will be counted.”

The maid returned the token to Feng Xiaoya and took the bracelet away.

After a burst of cheerful gongs and drums, Ai Xiaoxiao announced that the game had officially started—

The first treasure brought up was a wine glass.

The wine glass is no more than half the height of a palm, the wall is as thin as paper, and it is as white as jade.

Ai Xiaoxiao poured the bamboo leaf green wine into the cup, and there was a burst of admiration in the venue.

I saw light green patterns slowly oozing out of the originally gloomy white body of the cup, which turned out to be two fish playing under the lotus leaves. After watching for a long time, the fish seemed to be alive, swaying gently with the swaying of the wine in the glass.

“Everyone, please estimate.” Ai Xiaoxiao made a gesture of invitation.

And the guests are still watching cautiously.

Seeing that everyone was still silent, Yun Xingshan volunteered: “Whoever estimates the price first will get this cup, right? Then I guess, guess—fifty gold!”

Ai Xiaoxiao chuckled and didn’t express her opinion. She just looked at the others and said, “What do you guys think?”

When everyone saw someone taking the lead, they immediately started guessing wildly, basically between thirty and eighty. At this time, a handsome man in white clothes with a face like a crown jade suddenly stood up, stared straight at the wine glass and said, “This is Mrs. Xihe’s wine glass, right?”

With these words, he threw a token at Ai Xiaoxiao’s feet.

Ai Xiaoxiao picked up the token, looked back at the man, and replied, “Yes, Mr. Zhou. This is indeed the wine glass used by Mrs. Xihe of the Bi Kingdom.”

There was an uproar all around.

Ai Xiaoxiao explained: “As we all know, that lady has a quirk of throwing cups, and Zhao Yin, the emperor of Bi Kingdom, specially ordered a craftsman to make a set for her to throw away. There are three hundred cups in total. Now, The beauty has gone by the yellow crane, and this set of wine glasses is almost broken, there are no more than ten intact ones in the world. This is the best preserved one among them.”

Everyone was dumbfounded. Mrs. Xihe has been dead for more than a year, but there are more and more legends about her: her beauty, her arrogance, her viciousness, her eccentricities and her overnight white hair… She is already a demonized figure .

However, what shocked everyone present was that such an ingenious wine glass was thrown and played by that peerless beauty. In the corner, who didn’t care about the dispute between Feng Xiaoya and Ma Fu before—Xiao Zhou Lang Zhou Xiaolian.

He sat there quietly, his sword eyebrows and star eyes were like dyed ink, and there was a little red cinnabar between his brows, which was more colorful than his lips. He seemed to have a bit of otherworldly spirit, so as soon as he stood up and spoke, he attracted everyone’s attention.

However, when everyone looked at him, he only saw the cup. After a while, he said the second sentence: “One hundred gold. Buy a letter.”

Everyone was slightly startled. Is it inevitable that they will buy the letter when they come up and sell such a high price?

In fact, although the Bi porcelain cup is legendary, it is not a rare item. After all, it is a contemporary craft. If you like it, you can ask another craftsman to make it according to the shape. Basically, twenty or thirty gold is enough. But Zhou Xiaolian is obsessed with this, and what she cares about is the quality of “Xihe’s cup”.

Could it be that this rising star who is honored as Cheng Guo also admires the number one beauty in the Four Kingdoms? Isn’t it said that he is a practitioner?

Ai Xiaoxiao looked around at the crowd and said, “Well, are there any other guests who haven’t been appraised? Mr. He?”

Feng Xiaoya looked around, and smiled slightly: “I can’t guess it.” After a pause, he said, “But I can pay one hundred and one gold for the letter.”

Suddenly there was a commotion all around—Feng Xiaoya has annoyed Ma Fu enough, is she going to provoke Zhou Xiaolian again?

Even Ma Fu was surprised, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Zhou Xiaolian to see how he would react. In the end, Zhou Xiaolian’s expression was very calm, and she just raised the price: “Two hundred gold.”

Feng Xiaoya sipped her tea, “Two hundred and one gold.”

Zhou Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, then turned her head as if waking up from a dream, and looked at Feng Xiaoya, “I’m definitely going to get this cup.”

Feng Xiaoya nodded, “What a coincidence, me too.”

Zhou Xiaolian frowned: “I only brought three hundred gold…”

Ma Fu saw the opportunity and said, “I’ll lend it to you.”

Everyone loves to watch the excitement, and they were all very excited to see this situation. Ma Fu’s move was undoubtedly to form an alliance with Zhou Xiaolian, and he openly went against Feng Xiaoya! Let’s see how Feng Xiaoya fights back!

Feng Xiaoya asked Ma Fu solemnly, “How much money do you have?”

Ma Fu replied: “There are enough
