Seeing that there was no more excitement, everyone withdrew their gaze.
Business matters.
With so many of them gathering together, it was naturally impossible for them to gamble.
Xianggui stood up and said: "Everyone coming here this time must be for the same thing.
To be honest, a mysterious person asked us to auction it.
It was only because the origin of this item was extraordinary and its value was so high that the news was released in advance.
Everyone who is able to come here must be interested in this.
Then I will let you inspect the goods first. "
With that said, a maid walked up to Xianggui holding a tray covered with red cloth in her hands.
Xianggui opened the red cloth and saw a beautiful booklet on the tray.
Xianggui showed it to everyone and saw a unique logo printed on the cover of the booklet. It was a pattern that combined a ship and a sharp blade, which was very special.
That was the symbol of the Dongming Sect. It turned out that the booklet was the Dongming account book that promoted changes in the world situation and eventually even led to Yang Guang's death.
Only then did Zhao Mingyuan understand what was going on.
No wonder he had just entered here and was already greeted by Xiangyu Mountain.
Obviously, they had released the news to find a buyer, but Zhao Mingyuan came here by mistake. They thought they were also interested in Dongming's account book, so they lured him here.
After all, in their opinion, the presence of Shen Luoyan, who is also from Wagang Village, naturally means that Li Mi is interested in the Dongming account book.
In this case, it is naturally very possible that Zhao Mingyuan is also interested in this.
Although Zhao Mingyuan didn't know what she wanted the Dongming account book to do, it was obvious that the Dongming account book could stir up the world and create chaos, which was enough to benefit Wagang Village.
Therefore, no one thought that Zhao Mingyuan came here by chance. They all thought that he came here specifically for this purpose after getting news, and even came here in person at great risk.
Zhao Mingyuan found it strange that Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling did not steal the account books this time, but why the Dongming faction lost the account books again, and the person who stole the account books secretly auctioned them, which was a bit strange.
In the original work, there are three main factions interested in stealing Dongming's account books: the Li Clan, the Yuwen Clan, and the Dugu Clan.
Based on this calculation, except for the Song clan, the other three clans are actually interested in the Dongming faction's account books.
The Yuwen Clan ordered the Haisha Gang to openly attack the Piaoxiang. The Dugu Clan stole it through the Jukun Gang, and Li Shimin and Li Xiuning also asked Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling to steal it.
With the three major clans taking action at the same time, it’s no wonder that the Dongming Sect’s account books were lost.
However, now that the Dongming Sect's account books were stolen, they were sold in Pengcheng, and the news was even released. This is a bit strange.
Although the news was secretly released and sold secretly, since so many people knew it, the secret could not be hidden at all.
This does not look like the work of the Yuwen Clan and the Dugu Clan, but rather looks like the work of Li Shimin.
After all, if it is the Yuwen Clan and the Dugu Clan, they must use this account book to deal with their opponents.
But the current situation is obvious. The person who obtained the account book deliberately wanted to spread the news, and was not afraid that the things recorded in the account book would be leaked.
Obviously, it should be designed by Li Shimin.
He deliberately wanted the contents of the account books to be leaked, thereby forcing Li Yuan to rebel.
Obviously, Li Shimin had seen that the Sui Dynasty was exhausted, and now was a good time to raise troops. But his father Li Yuan was a little hesitant. Li Shimin used this to force Li Yuan to rebel against the Sui Dynasty.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the loss of the account books was actually directed and performed by the Dongming Sect.
After all, the three great clans want to get this account book at the same time. How dare the Dongming Sect keep it in their hands? Isn't it causing trouble?
Although Zhao Mingyuan didn't know whether it was Li Shimin or Mrs. Dongming who was behind this, but now that he knew the general reason, he naturally didn't care who owned the tent.
But speaking of it, it is a bit strange that Du Fuwei wants this account book.
This account book can cause fights between clans and clans, which will only benefit him, without any harm. Even if it fell into his hands, it would have no big effect.
Unless he wants to return this account book to the hands of the Dongming Sect in order to gain their friendship.
If he can get the full support of the Dongming faction and get more weapons, it will indeed be of great benefit to his Jianghuai army.
Thinking about it this way, maybe Shen Luoyan also had this plan.
Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but wonder, should he get involved?
I can't find the Dongming Sect at the moment, maybe this way I can get them to come to me.
However, Zhao Mingyuan thought about it and gave up the idea.
This will only make enemies for yourself, and will not bring any benefits.
On the contrary, if the matter of this account book continues to develop, perhaps the scene of Yang Guang being hanged by Yu Wenhuaji will soon be staged.
The world is in chaos, and the era of stars competing for the throne will soon truly come.
As for using this to interfere with Li Clan's anti-Sui cause, it was an attempt to delay Li Clan's time to raise troops.
All I can say is that it is overthinking and is simply impossible.
In fact, Li Yuan had already turned against him, but he had been looking for a better time.
Being forced to rebel is just talk, an excuse.
Expecting your opponent to make mistakes is just wishful thinking. Finding ways to improve your own strength is the way to go.
After thinking about it clearly, Zhao Mingyuan calmed down and watched the show with peace of mind.
Shen Luoyan has been paying attention to the changes in Zhao Mingyuan's demeanor. Seeing Zhao Mingyuan's final attitude of waiting and watching the show, although Shen Luoyan didn't know the reason, he knew that Zhao Mingyuan must have a reason for doing this. She followed Zhao Mingyuan and gave up the fight for the Dongming account book.
Everyone here is smart, so naturally they quickly discovered Zhao Mingyuan and Shen Luoyan's plan.
Seeing this, Du Fuwei said happily: "Since Mr. Zhao and Military Advisor Shen are not interested in this account book, then I, Lao Du, want it. Boss Xiang, please make a price!"
Seeing that Zhao Mingyuan and Shen Luoyan had no objections, the others were not taken seriously by Du Fuwei at all, and they directly regarded the account book as their own.
I thought this account book was a good thing, but I didn't expect that it would be treated coldly.
Xianggui was surprised to see that neither Zhao Mingyuan nor Shen Luoyan was interested in this.
Nowadays, if no one competes with Du Fuwei, the value of this account book will be greatly reduced.
Seeing that this account book was almost bound to fall into the hands of Du Fuwei, Xianggui seemed to be ready to buy it, so he said to Du Fuwei: "Since Mr. Du wants this account book, Xiang should give it to him with both hands..."
Before Xianggui could continue, Du Fuwei suddenly said: "Okay! Thank you very much! Boss Xiang is indeed very generous."
After hearing this, Xianggui froze there as if he had eaten a dead fly, his face extremely ugly.
Zhao Mingyuan burst out laughing. This Du Fuwei is indeed an interesting character. No wonder he can become Ssangyong's adoptive father. It would be better if we could find a way to recruit him.
When Du Fuwei saw Zhao Mingyuan laughing loudly without giving Xianggui any face, he also had a great impression of Zhao Mingyuan and said, "It seems that Mr. Zhao also thinks what Du said makes sense."
Zhao Mingyuan smiled and said: "Yes, General Manager Du commands the land of Jianghuai and has a high position of power. This is just an account book. How can it be as good as General Manager Du's golden face?"
Du Fuwei said happily: "Okay! Well said. It seems that Du is still a bit thin-faced. Since Brother Zhao is willing to give me face, let's drink together next time we pass by Jianghuai."
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Why wait until next time? Come and serve the wine!"
There were several beautiful girls serving everyone in this VIP room. Nowadays, when you hear a customer’s request, you should immediately obey it.
However, they didn't give face to their masters, and the maids didn't know whether they should obey or not. They all looked at Xianggui.
At this time, Xianggui's expression had softened, as if nothing had happened, but the original smile on his face was gone.
Xianggui waved his hand to signal the maid to serve the wine, and then said: "It's just that I don't own this account book, but a mysterious person asked us to sell it on behalf of you. I can't make the decision without authorization."
"Mysterious man, haha." Du Fuwei laughed a few words after hearing this, and then continued: "Okay, I won't ask who the mysterious man is, just tell me the price."
Xianggui no longer dared to pretend, and said directly: "Ten thousand taels of gold."
Poof, Du Fuwei spit out all the wine he had just drank in his mouth, and said angrily: "Golden Miles?
This is just an account book. Why is it worth so much money?
If I have so much money, what can I do? Why not go directly to the Dongming Sect to buy weapons?
This is enough for me to have a team of ten thousand people fully armed. "
This is a good thing to say.
If Du Fuwei just wanted to get closer to the Dongming faction so that he could purchase weapons, he would lose more than he gained.
If you have ten thousand taels of gold, you might as well go directly to the Dongming Sect to buy weapons and armor.
After all, the Dongming Sect is an arms dealer. No matter how good the relationship with them is, they still have to pay for things. At most I will give you a discount and give you priority in supplying goods.
No one would buy an account book with ten thousand taels of gold.
Perhaps, this deal was prepared for the Four Gates, and only they could afford the price.
Xianggui ignored Du Fuwei's objection and just said calmly: "This is the seller's request. Without ten thousand taels of gold, this transaction will have to be abandoned."
Du Fuwei was furious, slapped the table and said, "Are you entertaining me?"
Xianggui ignored Du Fuwei's threat and said, "Xiang is just doing a fair deal. It seems that this account book has no relationship with Manager Du."
Missed?
It’s Wuyuan!
This is simply pointing at Du Fuwei and saying: "Poor guy, go away!"
With Du Fuwei's temper, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he immediately attacked Xianggui.
Xianggui seemed to have expected it, and before Du Fuwei could pounce in front of him, he threw the Dongming account book towards Zhao Mingyuan.
Probably in Du Fuwei's eyes, the account book was more important than his own temporary anger, so he actually turned and pounced on Zhao Mingyuan.
