There were also many acquaintances of Ju Lao on the scene, and they were also surprised by Ju Lao's abnormal style.
Many people gradually stopped bidding. After all, firstly, they admired Ju Lao as a person and did not want to harm the relationship with him because of such a treasure. Secondly, the 880,000 yuan was indeed not a small amount.
"...Nine hundred thousand taels." There was another quote from the back row.
But before the auctioneer could speak, Ju Lao followed him without hesitation and immediately quoted: "One million taels."
In such a scene, it is obvious that Ju Lao is unwilling to give up his love and is determined to win the Golden Wind Peony.
One million taels, this figure was almost the income of his Chateau Gu's winery for a quarter. Such a generous offer without any consideration made many guests present quietly take a breath.
There were whispers on the field, but no one raised the price.
The auctioneer looked around and shouted: "One million taels, once!"
"One hundred and zero..." Another person was eager to try.
"One million and two hundred thousand." Ju Lao didn't wait for the man to finish quoting the price, and immediately shouted out the new high price.
The crowd booed in surprise. The auctioneer couldn't help but secretly glance at the golden flowers blooming in the gilt box next to him, swallowed, and regained his composure.
Ju Lao's expression didn't seem like it was a big deal. He was already planning to give it a go, so there was no need for extra worries or trade-offs.
His wife was about to be saved. This is the hope brought by the entire Ju family winery, and it also carries the wishes of the people who support him in the entire Pima Village. He would not let this wish come to nothing.
The whole place was completely silent at this time. The auctioneer hesitated and called out: "One hundred...two hundred thousand, once."
No one answered. Everyone's eyes were focused on the back of Mr. Ju in the front row. There were admiration, calculation, and confusion in the many eyes.
The sky outside is getting darker and the wind is getting stronger.
The clouds gradually gathered from the distant mountains to Chaoyun Street, and the smell of rain became stronger. I'm afraid there's going to be a night rain tonight. The damp and cool feeling has penetrated from the cloud curtain into the air all around, dampening the peach blossoms blooming all over the street.
"Bo Zhong!" Someone shouted sadly, and the voice echoed among the streets on the second main street.
Now the situation has turned into a siege. Gongsun Tan looked around at the brothers in the battle, but found that there were less than three of them. The brother named Bo Zhong had just been brutally hit on the back of the head by a villain, and blood was spilled on the ground along the fallen body.
They can't stop this situation, even though their strength is pretty good. By relying on such consumption alone, they are just making unnecessary sacrifices.
The large men who could not be stopped surged past them. Some were fighting fiercely with them, while more targeted the unguarded shops and began their most proficient smashing, looting and looting.
The store cannot be defended, but the street access here is not directly connected to the residential area. Gongsun Tan swung his sword to block the enemy while still thinking calmly in his mind.
The alleyway in the residential area is on the side of the main street where Yue Shenchen and the others are guarding. I wonder what is going on there now. If you can't have both, then you can only abandon your soldiers to save your chariot, at least not letting the people be implicated.
As he thought about it, Gongsun Tan's hands unconsciously grabbed his waist.
On the other side of Main Street, the situation was deteriorating.
The long tug-of-war caused Yue Shenchen's Dantian energy to be basically exhausted, and her magical attacks gradually weakened. Kou Wufu already had many scars on his body caused by axes, and his clothes were soaked with blood. The power he poured into his limbs and veins was about to run out, and the heavy punches he wielded were somewhat inaccurate.
The number of big men gathered gradually decreased, but there were still new ones coming. The two of them had been wandering around the world for some years, and they knew very well that if the current situation could not be resolved, they might really lose their lives.
At the dock in the distance, the fierce battle was still going on.
The two dueled, and Zui Chenxiang had the upper hand. The double-sword style was restrained at every turn, and was now covered in bruises.
But he fought very quickly, like a nimble loach. On the one hand, he could try his best to dodge Zui Chenxiang's moves, and on the other hand, he could continue to pester Zui Chenxiang when he wanted to return for support. Even though he had been beaten to the point of dying, he still tried his best to delay.
Zui Chenxiang was no longer in the mood to admire his spirit and just wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible.
Immediately, his true energy rose again, his palm turned the wind and the clouds upside down, and he suddenly released an inevitable move:
"The partridges are flying across the clouds, let's go."
Full of the true essence of Zui Chen Township, the sweeping energy was extremely strong, and the surrounding trees were destroyed one after another.
Seeing this, Shuang Dao Liu quickly blocked the two swords in front of him to defend himself, but the move was extremely violent. In an instant, both swords broke into pieces at the waist. Shuang Dao Liu was also knocked out with a mouthful of sticky blood, and fell to his knees weakly on the ground.
This level of fighting has not happened in Zuichen Township for a long time. At this moment, all the energy in his body was awakened, and the muscles and veins that had become stale after living in seclusion for many years became more active.
He slowly walked up to Shuang Dao Liu and lowered his head to look down at him.
Shuang Daoliu held two broken knives and looked up at Zui Chenxiang with a ferocious smile as if he was not convinced.
"it's over."
…………
With a "bang", there was an explosion on the second main street. Then thick smoke filled the air and everything fell into chaos.
Three people rushed out from the crowd. It was Gongsun Tan who escaped with his two remaining companions. He had created the smoke screen just now, and it was his last resort to save his life.
"Brother Gongsun, I want to avenge Brother Liu San!" A brother behind him cried with blood and tears on his face.
"Then you must have the capital for revenge. If you can keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. The second main street cannot be defended." Gongsun didn't look back.
Those were the "sand smoke bombs" he developed himself. He only had three of them with him, and he just threw them all out together. He accurately identified the escape route and the position of his companions, and finally made such a move.
They turned into a winding alley. Gongsun Tan had explored the road here before, and he could go directly to the first main street.
They must continue to assist Yue Shenchen and others, and do their best to stop the villains who want to enter residential areas to destroy and kill.
The entrance to the lost second main street is connected to the first main street. If the villains encircle them from there, the first main street will only fall. Gongsun Tan and others must hurry up and guard Qianjiekou before them, and they cannot continue to lose money.
The sound of fighting and shouting filled the sky and the earth, and Chaoyun Street gradually fell into the chaos that Jiuche Xiaoying expected. Even the air was filled with the smell of blood and hostility, and the prosperity of the past seemed to have all turned into nothing at this moment.
…………
"The third time, deal."
The auction hammer finally struck with a "clang", which was the final word. Ju Lao's trembling hands tried to regain his composure, and his eyes were a little moist. He won. In this turbulent auction, he won.
At the end of the auction, the manager of the auction hall handed the box to Mr. Ju personally to express his congratulations.
Ju Lao held the box very carefully and nodded repeatedly, as if he had seen his wife's radiant appearance after taking it.
However, before everyone in the auction hall could leave the hall, noisy sounds came from the front.
Ju Lao was walking behind and noticed that the crowd had stopped moving. He craned his neck and saw that the curator was blocking the way in front, explaining something to everyone in a hurry.
"..."
Quietly watching the changes ahead, Ju Lao's eyebrows tightened secretly.
