The moment she saw the blood wolf skin, Mu Qingyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showing a hint of her daughter's pride.
She couldn't find Yun Que, but she could figure out Yun Que's whereabouts.
I will definitely come to the auction to sell that wolf skin.
After the auctioneer reported the reserve price, there was a burst of surprise in the venue.
Three hundred taels is not a small amount of money. Ordinary families cannot earn three hundred taels for decades. This kind of rare item is definitely not something ordinary people can afford.
Fine fur is often the favorite thing of wealthy people. It not only protects against the cold, but also symbolizes status.
Especially the fur of monster beasts can show their identity even more.
There were several wealthy figures in the crowd who became very interested. Just when someone was about to increase the price, a discordant voice sounded.
"The blood of the three-eyed blood wolf is too strong for ordinary people to wear. It can range from weak in body to bedridden in severe cases. Selling this kind of fur is not harmful to people. I think it can't be higher than two hundred taels." "
There were too many people in the hall, and it was hard to tell who was talking. People immediately started talking, and the few wealthy people who wanted to bid also waited and watched.
In the private room on the second floor, Mu Qingyao's beautiful eyebrows moved slightly.
There were too many people, and she couldn't see who was speaking, but Mu Qingyao could remember this voice.
Mu Qingyao has a photographic memory and can easily identify people by their voices.
The source of this sound was the captain outside the city gate in the early morning!
Mu Qingyao didn't know the relationship between Yun Que and the captain, but the situation in the morning proved that the two must know each other.
But the added insult to injury at the auction made Mu Qingyao very puzzled.
If they are acquaintances, why point out the shortcomings of wolf skin?
The auctioneer laughed after hearing this and said:
"That's right! The three-eyed blood wolf is famous for its fierce energy and blood. It is true that ordinary people cannot bear the energy and blood in the wolf skin. However, how can anyone who can afford this kind of wolf skin be an ordinary person? After getting the wolf skin, , as long as you find someone to remove the power of Qi and blood, it will be the best thing to keep out the cold, especially red wolf skin. Wolf skin coats of this color are rare even in Tianqi City."
After a pause, the auctioneer continued:
"Our firm can remove the qi and blood from the wolf skin, and the fee is reasonable. It only costs fifty taels of silver. If there is any discomfort after wearing it, our Laoshu firm will be fully responsible."
With the endorsement of the trading company, the wealthy people in the crowd who wanted to buy wolf skins but were a little worried immediately felt at ease.
Price increases began to appear.
From ten taels of silver at a time, it soon reached four hundred taels.
After four hundred taels, the price increase announcements were significantly less.
The auctioneer nodded slightly. He estimated that the final transaction price would not exceed five hundred taels. It was almost over now.
"I'll pay five hundred taels!"
A cold voice came from the crowd.
Mu Qingyao frowned again after hearing this.
The voice offering five hundred taels was the captain who had just belittled the price of the wolf skin.
No matter how smart Princess Lingyun is, she is a little confused now.
Why was it that you were lowering prices just now, and now you are raising prices?
Not only Mu Qingyao heard the other party's voice, but the auctioneer also heard it, so he wondered:
"Didn't you just say that this wolf skin can only be worth two hundred taels? How come it was increased to five hundred taels?"
"It doesn't matter if I use some tricks to get what I like. I am an eighth-level warrior. This blood wolf skin can be used to invigorate the blood and strengthen the muscles and bones. It is very useful to me. I bid five hundred taels, please give me some face!" "
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present and the auctioneer suddenly realized.
People didn't pay much attention to this person's methods. After all, this kind of situation of first devaluing items and then competing to buy them is too common at auctions.
What people are most interested in is the usefulness of blood wolf skin to eighth-level warriors.
Eighth-level Bone Refining Realm warriors need to boil their Qi and blood to temper their muscles and bones, which costs a lot of money, but the blood wolf skin is actually also good for eighth-level warriors.
Amid the discussion, someone increased the price again, raising the price to five hundred and fifty taels.
Then someone else directly bid six hundred taels.
An eighth-level warrior can indeed walk sideways in a small place like Zangshi Town, but this is Baiyu City, an important border town.
The face of an eighth-grade warrior doesn't hold enough weight in Baiyu City.
The captain snorted coldly and stopped talking, obviously giving up the competition.
In the end, the blood wolf skin was sold at a high price of six hundred taels.
Halfway through the auction, the auctioneer announced an intermission, and the hall was filled with people.
This intermission time is also a time when people can trade with each other.
Many people took out good things to sell or exchange for purchases, and there was a constant flow of inquiries, bargains, shouts and curses.
Mu Qingyao stared at the captain's figure through the gauze curtain and saw him getting up, leaving his seat and walking into a small room.
Around the first floor, there are many sealed cabins with only one door and no windows.
This kind of cabin is specially used by both parties to the transaction.
After all, some things are not suitable to be shown in public, or some people are worried about being guilty of possessing a jade, and are afraid that their good things will be remembered by others.
Mu Qingyao immediately went downstairs, passed through the crowd, and came to the door of the hut where the captain entered.
Taking advantage of the people coming and going around, Mu Qingyao pretended to be passing by, knelt down at the door and tied the laces of her deerskin boots.
The door is not thick, and you can faintly hear the sounds inside if you stick to the door.
Two people are having a conversation.
"I'm talking about four hundred taels of wolf skin, sold for six hundred taels, and the price difference of two hundred taels is half of mine."
"Come on! I almost didn't let you screw up. You just said that the blood wolf skin is good for warriors and that's it. What extra drama is there? You have to show your identity as an eighth-level warrior. You are not afraid of scaring others. No one will bid. "
"Baiyu City is not your Hidden Stone Town. There are many rich people. They don't care about eighth-grade warriors. Only by showing your identity can people feel more real and value the blood wolf skin more. Don't say it is useless. The money is already in your hands, bring me one hundred taels."
"Do you have professional ethics? It's fifty taels as promised, not a cent more. Do you want love or not?"
"In front of money, I don't even recognize my parents. Do you think I have any morals? The price is eighty taels."
"Seventy taels, it will be deducted from the account. After raising the price again, I will change people. There are many oboe singers."
"Okay, just seventy taels, but I want cash. Bring me the money."
"You still owe me one hundred and ninety-five taels!"
"One code equals one code. The debt is owed first and the money is brought first."
Hearing this, Mu Qingyao couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing, and she hurriedly covered her mouth.
It turns out that the two people in the house have been performing a double act at the auction.
Although he tried his best to suppress his laughter, he still made a little sound and the room immediately became quiet.
Then the door opened.
It was the captain in light armor at the gate of the city in the early morning. The breastplate on his heart was wiped spotless, and he glanced coldly outside the door.
"Girl, is something wrong?" the captain said coldly.
"I want to find someone, he should be in the house." Mu Qingyao said openly.
"Then come in and talk."
The school captain let Mu Qingyao into the house and then locked the door.
After Mu Qingyao entered the room, she immediately saw the young man in black sitting opposite, who was also stunned for a moment.
Mu Qingyao pursed her lower lip and said:
"Hiring someone to maliciously raise prices and deceive outsiders. If you are exposed, your reputation will be completely ruined and it will be difficult to do business in the future."
Yun Que felt embarrassed and said to the captain angrily:
"You didn't open a soundproof circle, didn't you? You can't bear to part with two taels of silver. Well, now, the walls have ears, what do you think we should do!"
This kind of trading hut comes with a small soundproofing array that can isolate the sound in the house.
However, it costs an additional two taels of silver to activate it once. Generally, people who trade in the hut will activate the soundproof circle in advance.
This hut was chosen by the captain in advance. Yun Que thought that the other party had set up a soundproofing circle. Unexpectedly, the other party was so stingy that in order to save money, he did not set up a soundproofing circle at all, so that the conversation just now was overheard.
The captain sneered, his eyes tilted upward with a chill, and he stared at Mu Qingyao and said:
"It's easy, I'll handle it."
Yun Que hugged his shoulders and watched the excitement and said, "How do you plan to deal with it? Let's talk about it. Shouldn't you be silenced?"
The captain said coldly: "It's too troublesome to silence her. First knock her out, and then give her two kilograms of Wangyou Powder. She will definitely not remember what happened today."
"Two kilograms! Is it too much? Will I eat too much and die?" Yun Que asked.
"No, the Wangyou Powder I prepared will not kill anyone within five kilograms. Five kilograms can make you forget who you are. Four kilograms can make you forget your parents and children. Three kilograms can make you forget how much money you have at home. One kilogram can make you forget After all the experiences in one day, just to be on the safe side, give her at least two kilograms." The captain said coldly.
Mu Qingyao's eyes widened when she heard this.
Is there such a way?
Mu Qingyao has seen a lot of despicable people, but this is the first time she has seen a guy who said despicable things so confidently.
Yun Que was delighted when he heard this, pointed at Mu Qingyao and said:
"Do you know who she is? She is Princess Lingyun. How many kilograms of Wangyou Powder do you think is appropriate?"
Mu Qingyao raised her head slightly, the princess' nobility was undoubtedly evident, and said:
"I wonder what Wangyou Powder tastes like. I really want to see it."
"Ha, just pick up a little girl and call yourself the princess. Yun Que, you want to break up the relationship and break up the relationship. You have a new partner, so you kicked the old partner. Do you think I will believe it?" Disdainfully.
When Mu Qingyao took out the Yin-Yang Order made of purple gold, the captain's eyes immediately changed and he knelt down on one knee.
"Mei Qian, the captain of Baiyu City, has met Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Mu Qingyao suppressed her laughter, pointed at Yun Que and said, "This person knows a lot of my secrets. How should Captain Mei think it should be dealt with?"
After Mei Qian stood up, he stared at Yun Que coldly and said:
"Don't worry, Princess. I'll take care of it. I'll knock him out first, and then give him twenty kilograms of Wangyou Powder."
"Twenty kilograms! How can you feed me even a pig can't eat it? Didn't you say that eating less than five kilograms won't kill anyone? At twenty kilograms, you're going to poison me to death!" Yun Que scolded.
"You are too strong. Twenty pounds is just a conservative number. Just try it first and see if it doesn't work. If it doesn't work, you have to add more." Mei Qian snorted coldly.
"Where the hell are you from?" Yun Que cursed.
"I, Mei Qian, will always stand on the side of power." Mei Qian said coldly.
"Okay! Mei, let's break up from today on, and we will never have any friendship again," Yun Que said.
"Friendship? Is there such a thing between the two of us?" Mei Qian said.
"Yeah, it seems like there really isn't, so forget it, I don't blame you, but don't shout for help when I'm cutting you," Yun Que said.
Mu Qingyao couldn't help but laugh out loud, covering her mouth.
Mei Qian's ears moved slightly, as if she heard something, she bowed and said with great knowledge:
"I'll take my leave first. If the princess sends me any orders, I'll die without mercy."
After saying that, I wanted to leave.
As a result, Yun Que got up early, blocked the door, and activated the sound-isolating array.
Seeing Yun Que's half-smiling expression, Mei Qian's face showed an angry look for a moment.
He had a strong feeling that he was going to be tricked!
