All of a sudden, the air became quiet and the atmosphere became a little subtle.
Gongsun Yi's words were directed at Su Qi'an. This was a naked provocation.
Everyone on the seventh floor had shocked expressions on their faces and sat with bated breath to watch the development of the situation.
Su Qian's face was calm, smiling, drinking wine, and a faint voice came.
"Master Gongsun can come and try whether I am worthy of being on an equal footing with you."
Su Qian's tone was very calm, and she didn't even look at the other person from beginning to end. It felt like she was being ignored.
But Su Yong, Captain Wang and others standing behind him gently pressed their palms on the handle of the knife, releasing a strong killing aura.
Just waiting for Su Qi'an to give the order, as long as Su Qi'an opens his mouth, they will rush over without any scruples.
Gongsun Yi is not afraid of this kind of formation. If he gives in, he will not be the third young master of Xizhou City.
The guard behind him took a step forward with a solemn expression, also waiting for Gongsun Yi to speak.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Xue Huai said in time, "I asked you two, can you calm down a little bit?"
"Originally, this banquet is to resolve the conflict between you two. If you insist on taking action, I will not stop you. I just hope to wait until the Heilu auction is over."
"If anyone ruins this auction, don't blame me for falling out."
Although Xue Huai was smiling, it obviously had some effect. Gongsun Yi, who had always been unruly, snorted at Su Qi'an without saying a word.
Su Qi'an had no intention of continuing to talk.
The two were temporarily dissuaded. Xue Huai nodded and continued, "This auction of Heilu is divided into five groups. The old rule is that the one with the highest price wins."
"The starting price for a group starts at one thousand taels, and each increase in price shall not be less than five hundred taels."
"I announce that this auction has begun."
After the words fell, Tang Xiao was the first to speak, directly bidding two thousand.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Yi followed him, bidding three thousand, and then Xue Huai, not to be outdone, bid five thousand.
In the blink of an eye, Heilu's price rose sharply under everyone's gaze, reaching 7,000 in one bid.
The powerful seventh-level young men watching this scene were all quite envious.
They could afford several thousand taels of silver, but no one dared to bid.
After all, this auction was organized between the three young men. Su Qi'an was invited, so he could bid.
As for them, it would be nice if they could watch on the seventh floor. If they really bid for it, even if they win it, they are definitely not qualified to take it away.
Again, the reputation of the three young masters in Xizhou is no joke.
The price of Heilu kept rising, and soon exceeded 10,000. To be honest, this was almost reaching the limit of Heilu. Any higher, and it would be a bit uneconomical.
But what surprised them was that Uncle Su, who was invited, never opened his mouth to bid.
This is indeed a bit strange.
They didn't believe that Su Qi'an had no money at all. As long as a dignified earl was willing, the powerful people in the counties below would be eager to send money over.
And according to their understanding, this Uncle Su opened a Suji Trading Firm in Sichuandu County.
For those who can open a business, it is nonsense to say that they have no money.
"Is it to sell three young men a favor?"
Many people think this way, but some people are quick-thinking. But he frowned and looked at Su Qi'an.
A bold idea flashed through their eyes. These people's pupils shrank and they said in surprise, "Could it be that he wants to..."
"Five groups of Heilu, priced at 100,000! Su has taken care of it."
Almost at the same time, Su Qian's voice sounded loudly.
"hiss!"
Countless people took a breath and looked at Su Qi'an blankly, with surprise written on their faces.
They all admire Su Qi'an's wealth and wealth.
But after recovering from the brief shock, some people sighed that Su Qi'an's move would completely offend the three young masters.
.
Heilu is expensive, but the three young men present will definitely get it all if they really take action.
But as usual, the three young masters will give each other some face, and in the end, more or less, they will gain something.
To a certain extent, it means that Su Qian'an is not giving face to the three eldest young masters, and it has a sense of tearing one's face.
If Su Qi'an succeeds, the reputation of the three young masters of Xizhou City will be lost.
Sure enough, just as Su Qi'an's voice fell, Gongsun Yi said directly.
"Huh, Earl Su, are you speaking too loudly? You want to cover everything up, but you haven't asked any of us for our opinions?"
"Brother Su, you are indeed so generous, but it is not in line with the rules. Even if I can sell Brother Su a favor, I still have to estimate the two of them." Xue Huai said in a good way.
Tang Xiao, who had been silent all this time, now spoke up, "Since Earl Su wants this batch of Heilu, let's give him some face. Anyway, there are more than one batch of Heilu. At worst, we can wait until next time."
Tang Xiao's concession was unexpected by the three of them. Tang Xiao glanced at Xue Huai and said calmly.
"Why, Brother Xue can be generous once, but this prince is so stingy?"
Xue Huai shook his head, "Haha, since Brother Tang has said so, what else can I say? It doesn't matter if I give Brother Su some face."
"Brother Gongsun, look, Brother Tang and I have both given in. You..."
"Hmph, Xue Huai, don't do this. It's your business to sell face to you and Tang Xiao. I won't accept this."
"Su Qi'an, don't you want to make everyone happy? Okay, I will play with you and see who you can outsmart."
"I'll pay you 120,000 taels!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand." Su Qian said calmly.
"One hundred and sixty thousand."
"One hundred and eighty thousand."
"..."
The two parties went back and forth, and the price was suddenly pushed to 200,000.
This price can be said to be sky-high.
In previous years, even if Heilu was valuable, 150,000 yuan would already be considered a loss.
But these two people raised the price to 200,000 yuan, which shocked everyone present.
Even Heilu, who was the auction item, had a look of surprise in their eyes.
At this time, Gongsun Yi's face was livid. Looking at Su Qi'an who was still very calm, he felt extremely angry.
Two hundred thousand, even he would have to talk to his father for a long time.
If it takes 200,000 yuan to capture this group of black men, they will definitely be scolded.
But at this time, if he stopped, he would definitely not be favoring Su Qi'an again.
Just when Gongsun Yi gritted his teeth and wanted to continue shouting, a subordinate quickly stepped forward from behind and said something in his ear.
Gongsun Yi's livid face softened, he nodded and said to Su Qi'an.
"Earl Su is really wealthy and I admire him, but in this private auction, Earl Su probably doesn't know the rules yet."
"If you want to bid, we will pay in cash. Even if you are rich, Earl Su, and can carry two hundred thousand taels of cash with you, I will convince you."
Su Qi'an turned his head and signaled that Su Yong stepped forward and took out a wad of banknotes from his arms.
At a rough glance, there are about one hundred thousand taels.
These one hundred thousand taels were obtained from Su Qi'an's bet at the county's top conference last time.
Basically, Su Yong keeps it with him.
"Haha, am I right? One hundred thousand? Earl Su, are you kidding me?"
"The price you quoted just now was 200,000 taels. With these 100,000 taels, are you kidding us?"
Gongsun Yi would not let go of this opportunity to ridicule, and kept being weird.
Su Qi'an turned his head, glanced at Gongsun Yi, and said lightly.
"If you can't speak, just keep your mouth shut. If you can't control your own mouth, I can control it for you."
"Hmph, Earl Su, just be tough here, I'll see how you make up the rest.
silver. "
This kind of private small-scale auction not only requires cash transactions, but also has an important point. Once the bid is exported, you can't go back on it. Even if you sell off the property, you have to make up the money.
This has been the rule for many years and no one can break it.
Su Qi'an ignored Gongsun Yi, looked at Xue Huai and said.
"Su did not bring enough banknotes this time, but Su thought it would be possible to compensate for the remaining banknotes in other ways."
Xue Huai thought about it, nodded and said, "Brother Su, it's not impossible to replenish the banknotes by trading items, but the value of the items traded is quite high. Brother Su, can you..."
Before Xue Huai could finish speaking, Su Qian clapped his hands. Behind him, Colonel Wang stepped forward and threw out the long box behind him.
A scroll flew out, the scroll shook, and a framed poem slowly emerged.
"Why don't you, man, wear a golden hook and capture the fifteen states of Qingyou?
Please come to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, as if you are a scholar and a marquis of ten thousand households. "
Everyone present read the four verses above carefully, their eyes flashing with light.
Warmth gradually surged in his heart. Looking at these four lines of poetry, it seemed as if there were thousands of troops emerging in front of his eyes, and their breathing gradually became heavier.
Of course they knew what this poem meant. It was indeed Earl Su who came from the Ningzhou battlefield.
The poems I wrote this time have a strong atmosphere of military commanders, and even young men like them are deeply affected by it.
I can't wait to go to the border battlefield and experience it.
The young masters on the seventh floor all had such passionate expressions, let alone Xue Huai and Tang Xiao who were closest to them.
At this time, they had already stood up, their chests were rising and falling violently, and their breathing was equally heavy.
But they had seen the world at least, and after exhaling forcefully, they finally regained their composure.
Only this time, the two of them looked at Su Qi'an with deep admiration.
Ordinary people think that Uncle Su's talent is just to recite romances and give them to the beauties in Spring Courtyard.
But tonight's poem expresses the desire of not only Su Qi'an, but also young men from aristocratic families like them, who want to rely on their military exploits and their own strength to become a marquis.
After all, they are all men from the Great Liang, and none of them has the vision of doing something big on the frontier.
The feeling of riding a horse, whipping a whip, and galloping across the battlefield is what a man from the Great Liang Dynasty should do.
In this look of admiration and shock, Su Qian's voice sounded.
"I wonder if this poem by Su is worth one hundred thousand taels of silver?"
When the two of them came to their senses, Xue Huai stepped forward and looked at Su Qi'an with a fiery gaze.
He kept saying, "It's worth it, it's absolutely worth it. Brother Su, I can guarantee that if this poem appears at the auction house in Kyoto, the sons of the prince will definitely break their heads and snatch it, let alone one hundred thousand, even two hundred thousand, they will Without blinking."
