In the main hall of Tianxian Tower, the "Xianlin Meeting" is being held, which is draped in red and decorated with red jade as the top card. Although the name is elegant, the smell of copper is everywhere and there is no trace of elegance.
After several rounds of bidding, the scene became extremely heated. There were two people who attracted the most attention. They followed each other's bids without giving in. The others basically became foils. One of them was a middle-aged man with a slightly plump figure. He was wearing gold and silver. He looked extremely luxurious at first glance. The other person is relatively low-key, with a slim build, and a huge bamboo hat covering his face. The two people accompanying him are also wearing big black bamboo hats, making them very mysterious.
Someone nearby laughed loudly, "Master Zhu, you already have twelve concubines. If you marry Hong Yu again, I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy it!"
"Such a beauty, she is a fairy in the sky. Even if she loses her life, I still want to kiss her!" Zhu Kui said, laughing wildly and casting a contemptuous glance at the man in the hat.
After two more rounds of bidding, neither party had any intention of giving in. The bid had reached ten thousand yuan. Everyone was sighing, except the madam who couldn't help but smile happily.
Beside the man in the bamboo hat, someone quietly entered a private room, and Qi King Li Qing sat firmly in the middle.
"Your Highness, Zhu Kui, the rich man in the capital, is going against us because he has some bad money, and his bid will soon exceed 10,000 taels."
Li Qing shook his folding fan and said with a smile: "I have a rich country, but why are you afraid of that fat pig? Continue!"
A counselor next to him whispered: "Your Highness, money is a trivial matter. If it continues like this, it will attract more attention, and the rumors may point to the royal family. It's better to settle it quickly!"
Li Qing nodded and waved the messenger to leave.
"Nine thousand one hundred taels!" Zhu Kui bid, drawing cheers.
The man in the bamboo hat slowly stood up and said calmly: "I will offer ten thousand taels!" The spectators shouted loudly and turned their eyes to Zhu Kui. At the critical moment, the fat man suddenly strangled his neck with his hands, his eyes wide open, and his expression was in pain.
The entourage beside him shouted loudly: "What kind of magic did you cast on the members?"
The man in the bamboo hat looked coldly, and everyone felt a coldness in their throats, as if there was an invisible sword pressing against their throats. The murderous aura was refreshing, and everyone was trembling and did not dare to say anything.
"If no one bids again, Miss Hongyu will be mine!" The man in the hat said coldly.
Zhu Kui's face was purple and he was in unbearable pain. He waved his hands with difficulty, and the group of people fled.
The dust settled and everyone dispersed. The man in the bamboo hat glanced at the corner. He had already noticed that the three people were drinking from the beginning to the end without raising their heads.
Yuhongting was trapped in the "Hidden Flower Pavilion", feeling confused and confused, and the cheers from downstairs were like a death knell. what to do? At the critical moment, he couldn't care much, so he could only fight to get out.
While I was thinking about it, a maid rushed up to report, "Congratulations, Miss, the 'Xianlin Meeting' has ended. I have spent a lot of money on the husband you selected, beating all the others. My mother is very happy, and the sedan chair is ready." alright."
Listening to their chatter, Yu Hongting's mind gradually became clearer. In this mortal world, she, an outsider, would only make things more confusing and add more troubles. If she didn't leave now, how long would it take? As soon as her mind moved, her true energy circulated, and she was about to break the window and leave.
However, she did not move. The pain in her lower abdomen felt like needle pricks, and her whole body was so limp that she could not move. When he tried again, the pain doubled and he fell to the ground.
The maid hurriedly helped her up, and someone even joked softly: "Miss, you are too impatient!"
An idea flashed in Yu Hongting's mind. There is a strange medicine in the world. It is colorless and odorless, harmless to ordinary people. It is specially designed to lock the magic power of cultivators. The cup of farewell tea that he drank just now must have been poisoned. I didn’t expect there to be an expert here, I was really careless.
After a while, the madam went upstairs and pretended to squeeze out a few drops of crocodile tears. Everyone held the moon in their hands and put Yuhongting on the sedan chair. There was no drumming, and the people accompanying him walked in a hurry, turning around and disappearing into the night.
Yu Hongting cried out in his heart, Master? My disciple has realized his mistake and no longer misses the chaotic world of mortals. He is willing to stay with you forever and practice meditation in front of the Buddha. I just ask you to come and save me soon. There’s also that damn lack of response that makes people worried. Why hasn’t the critical moment happened yet?
Let's talk about Qi Tianhou's Mansion. Everyone is confronting each other under the moon, and a fight is about to break out. As Li Xun shouted, several people jumped up from under the eaves, and two steel knives were placed on a woman's neck.
"Husband, please save me!" Yao Miao called softly.
In a hurry, he was about to rush forward, but was stopped by the Marquis with a wave of his hand. "Your Highness, it seems unbecoming of a gentleman to hold a woman and her family hostage!"
Li Xun sneered: "It's a pity that the number of people in your Hou family is withering, so you have to use this cheap maid to make up for the loss. Hand over the prince quickly, otherwise this cheap maid will become a ghost immediately!"
He cursed angrily: "You are still the heir apparent, you are so shameless! If you have any means, come at me, torture a weak woman is nothing!"
Li Xun smiled ferociously: "I won't shed tears until I see the coffin!" He suddenly stepped forward and slashed Yao Miao's shoulders with two daggers. Blood spattered and the beauty screamed and cried.
Ji Zi was so angry that he was trembling all over, but he threw himself into the trap and had nothing to do.
The Marquis sighed: "Although she is a concubine, she is also a member of my family. I am willing to trade with her as your hostage. What do you think?"
Ji Zhe quickly stopped, and Li Xun was also depressed. The Marquis took a few steps forward and was three feet away from him. Li Xun was shocked and put a knife against Yao Miao's throat, "Stop, your magic power is so high, you must be trying to harm us!"
The Marquis opened his arms and said, "You see, I am unarmed, how can I be disadvantageous to you?" When Li Xunzheng was melancholy, he suddenly retreated several feet, while the people escorting Yao Miao fell softly. At the same time, Yi Zi quickly moved and swept the beauty back to the front of the formation.
Everything turned around in a flash, and Li Xun panicked. King Yi reprimanded in a low voice: "You are ignorant and incompetent, and you are in disgrace. Why don't you get out of here quickly?"
He turned to the Marquis and said: "I heard that you lost your sight back then and found a new way to practice martial arts and achieved great success. People in the world called you the 'Three-hearted layman'. You see the world with your mind's eye, can move freely, and can see through people's minds. I just saw something again I have mastered your heart-destroying technique, hurting people invisible, I admire you so much!"
"Your Highness, thank you for your praise. In the past few years, you have been sending spies to my house to investigate. You have been planning for a long time and have carefully considered it. You are not just capable of abducting women and children!"
"I never fight a battle I'm not sure about, and I know your details very well. It's true that you are a master, but your son is useless, and the rest are just idiots, vulnerable. The backup has arrived, so we have to give it a try What a sledgehammer!" He waved his left hand lightly, but there was no movement. He waved again and it still remained the same.
The Marquis smiled and said: "It seems that His Highness's reinforcements may have been delayed by drinking, right?"
Li Xun was so anxious that he scratched his head and said fiercely: "How dare these damn slaves let our pigeons go?"
King Yi did not panic and said calmly: "Even with the power of my father and son, I will still kill you without leaving a single piece of armor behind. What's more, I still have extraordinary troops!"
Before he finished speaking, he let out a muffled groan, and someone flew out at lightning speed. The Marquis shook his robe sleeves, and an invisible force knocked the person away...
