"I heard that Tan Hua Lang's calligraphy will be put up for auction tonight, and the price should be quite high..."
In the busy streets early in the morning, Yu Qing and others who were strolling suddenly stopped. Hearing the diners at the roadside stall talking about him, Yu Qing stopped first.
There have been a lot of people talking about him in Hubohai recently, and you can hear them every time he goes out on the street. But this kind of auction, especially the words "pricey" instantly attracted Yu Qing's special attention.
He immediately walked over and asked the diners who were eating and drinking, "I am interested in the calligraphy of Tan Hualang. I wonder where the auction will be held tonight?"
As soon as he stopped, An Yi and others, a total of more than ten people, immediately became alert to the surrounding situation.
After learning that someone was going to assassinate Tan Hwa Lang, those who served him naturally had to be on alert.
Those who could be taken along by Anyi and Su Qiuzi were the ones they trusted more when they were in Sanxian Castle.
When these two castle owners encouraged them to leave Sanxian Castle, they also painted a big picture and painted a brilliant future.
A dark-skinned male diner who seemed to have been hanging out here for a long time said hehey: "'Zhihai Pavilion', I heard that it's because the flower hunter has become famous recently. In order to entertain everyone, the proprietress of 'Zhihai Pavilion' wants to take some food." My collection of Tanhualang calligraphy and paintings will be auctioned tonight, which will probably attract many people in this field."
Yu Qing and Mu Aotie looked at each other. Isn't this the place where they want to stay?
A group of people have been here these days and have a certain understanding of this place. Of course they know what it is like if they can stay in the "Zhihai Pavilion". This pavilion is the tallest building in the Amber Sea and the largest in the Amber Sea. One of the gold-selling caves, especially the pavilion master himself, is the daughter of Xiang Luo Ce.
Who is Xiang Luo Ce? Now the entire Amber Sea is under his control, and he is one of the most powerful people in the world.
Of course, this was not what Yu Qing was concerned about. He asked: "You said that Tanhua Lang's calligraphy is worth a lot of money. How can it be worth auctioning for such a small amount of money?"
Hearing this, Anyi and Su Qiuzi looked at him a little strangely. They didn't know what the purpose of this question was. Do they still know the market price of their own words?
Another diner said: "It's estimated to cost several hundred thousand, right?"
The dark-skinned diner waved his hand and said: "I'm afraid it has to go up a bit now, but it was more expensive before."
"This thing is worth some money if you meet someone you like. If you don't like it, it's just a few words. If it were me, I wouldn't want a few thousand taels, not to mention hundreds of thousands."
Other diners nearby also joined in the discussion, and there was even an argument over the price.
No matter how you argue, in terms of the value of calligraphy and painting, the price is still high.
Having learned general information from many people, Yu Qing and Mu Aotie both looked a little confused when they left the noise. On the other hand, there was nothing unusual about Chong'er's expressions.
I don't know how long he walked in silence, but Yu Qing suddenly asked Su Qiuzi, "How much do you think my words are worth?"
The reason for this question is that the Lord of the Third Castle always wants to discuss things like this with him, which shows that he also understands this aspect.
Of course, it was also because I still felt a little unbelievable and wanted to confirm it again.
Su Qiuzi flattered him: "For me, nature is a priceless treasure."
Yu Qing: "I'm asking about the market price."
Su Qiuzi: "That's not necessarily true. It depends on the number of words and the content of the writing. Generally, the cheaper one will cost hundreds of thousands."
"..." Yu Qing was speechless again.
Mu Aotie looked him up and down repeatedly from time to time, as if he had discovered a monster.
Zhihai Pavilion is also on an affiliated island of the main island, with an island in the middle connected by a long bridge.
You can also see the luxury of Zhihai Pavilion on the main island, with huge tall buildings, many shell patches shining in the sun, and a large windmill spinning on the roof.
People crossing the sea and bridge, the closer they get, the more they can feel the hugeness of Zhihai Pavilion, like a giant magic castle in the sea.
After landing on the island, we stood under this huge fortress, looking up like ants. I really don’t know how this huge thing with carved beams and painted beams was built.
Yu Qing and his party came here and had no other intention to check in.
Originally, I was looking for a place to live. After knowing that someone was going to assassinate me, it was really unsafe to live next to the tidal flats in the face of such an unpreventable thing. And Zhihai Pavilion was top-notch in terms of safety and security in the entire Amber Sea.
The most important thing is that Zhihai Pavilion is one of the few places in Amber Sea where you can go to the "Haidu" to have fun with your spending quota.
"Haidu" is the original capital of Amber Sea, and now it has become the residential area of Xiang Luo Ce. Those Amber girls who survived the bloodbath are all under house arrest in a corner of it.
In the past, when the daughter country still existed, outside men had so-called "walking marriages" with local women, but now it has changed. Only those who have spent a certain amount of money can have the opportunity to experience the amorous feelings of those amber women. .
It is said that those amber girls do have a unique style that is difficult to share with outsiders.
In addition to obtaining the daily necessities given by those in power, the surviving amber girls also accepted visits from outsiders on weekdays. Those who went to visit had to pay a fee.
It stands to reason that those who are interested in those Amber Girls are men, and the main group of people who go sightseeing should be men. However, Haidu Prefecture has formulated a strange rule that only women are allowed to spend money to visit those Amber Girls.
Yu Qing and others have collected a lot of information about the Amber Sea these days, but have not found any information related to the entrance to the "Juling Mansion". Blind inquiry like this is not an option. They must find people who are familiar with the relevant information. , especially those who are familiar with the legends of the Amber Sea from ancient times to the present.
Apparently, no one knows better than Amber Girl.
In order to get in touch with Amber Girl's rules, in addition to having enough money, one of the ways is to have someone who knows the rules do a favor. Naturally, the master of Zhihai Pavilion is also one of the people who can do this.
This was the main reason why they stayed in Zhihai Pavilion, and now there was another reason for safety.
In short, this scene seems familiar, and I seem to have experienced it in Tianji Mountain.
Yu Qing, who was standing outside the gate, turned his head and looked at Mu Aotie. Sure enough, Mu Aotie, who was looking up at Zhihai Pavilion, was a little distracted.
Yu Qing bumped him with his elbow, "Are you still thinking about that woman? I can't keep her if she's not yours. It's all over. I heard that the landlady here is not good-looking either."
Mu Aotie lowered his head and remained silent.
Others didn't know what kind of riddle they were talking about.
The group then entered and checked in directly.
In a car not far from the gate, behind the half-open curtains, a man and a woman watched Yu Qing and others enter Zhihai Pavilion.
The man has long hair shawl, and is wearing a loose green gauze jacket. He has a fairly upright face and a stubble on his face. He is playing with a folding fan casually in his hand. He looks lazy and casual.
The woman who was half nestling in his arms was wearing a thin red gauze dress, with a snow-white breast half exposed, and an alluring figure. She was a charming beauty. After Dan Kou lowered the curtains of the carriage with his fingers, he blew in the man's ear. : "Who is it? One life is worth 500 million."
The man smiled and said: "The most popular person in the spiritual world recently."
"The most lively person?" the charming woman murmured, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she sat up suddenly, "Is he the famous Tan Hua Lang?"
At the same time, someone outside quickly walked out of Zhihai Pavilion, reached the carriage and whispered, "Checking in."
The man patted the woman's lower back and said, "Let's go and get to know each other."
In the lobby of Zhihai Pavilion, Anyi and the others in front of the counter were speechless because Yu Qing only paid for the room fees for himself, Mu Aotie, Chong'er and Baili Xin, and the others seemed to not exist.
It is also understandable that after the traitor happened, he was still wary of them.
Fortunately, they also had some capital. In order to be able to take orders from Tanhua Lang at any time, the nearly ten people accompanying them were arranged to stay here together.
As for most of the other people, it is impossible for them to stay here. The cost of staying here for nearly a hundred people is beyond the reach of ordinary wealthy people.
When they checked in, the clerk at Zhihai Pavilion specifically told them that there would be an auction in the evening, and they could enter directly with their room number to participate.
After arriving at a large four-bedroom apartment via a rope ladder, Yu Qing unloaded his things and walked to the window. He could climb up and look out at the blue waves of the sea, the scenery was magnificent.
After being distracted for a while, he suddenly turned back and stared at Chong'er who was packing his things, and asked: "Chong'er, did you already know that my words are valuable?"
He had previously noticed that Chong'er didn't react much to this matter.
Chong'er paused on his hands, nodded and said, "Well, I heard them talk about it when chatting with other shop assistants."
Yu Qing immediately walked to him quickly and said a little sadly: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Chong'er said unexpectedly: "I told you, I said your words are very valuable. Master, you said that a gentleman loves money in a good way, and you said that you have abandoned literature and embraced martial arts."
Did I say such a thing? Yu Qing thought blankly for a while, vaguely feeling that he had really said such a thing. It was unclear whether he said it to Chong'er, but it seemed like he had said it to more than one person.
For a moment, he was speechless. He could only blame Chong'er in an unhappy tone, "Chong'er, after you came to the Amber Sea, your whole spirit seemed to be wrong. You were always distracted. If you don't get used to it, just go back. It's really inappropriate." I know why your master asked you to follow me."
Mu Aotie, who rarely expressed his emotions, gave a disdainful "scoff" and said to Chong'er, "Ignore him."
Chong'er continued to bury his luggage, and Bailixin, who put down his bow and arrow, inspected the whole house, not sparing any corner.
When Yu Qing was sitting crookedly on his chair and sulking at himself, there was a knock on the door. Chong'er went over to open the door and saw that it was Su Qiuzi. She turned around to inform him, and after getting permission, she let him in.
After Su Qiuzi greeted everyone one by one as he entered, he walked next to Yu Qing, looking hesitant.
When Yu Qing was angry, he saw this and said ruthlessly, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, let it go."
Su Qiuzi hurriedly took out a stack of paper from his sleeves and handed it over with a nod and bow, "I have accumulated poems over the years, and I would like to ask Mr. Tanhua to review and correct them."
Come again? Yu Qing had a headache and realized that this guy was a sick monk. Instead of being a good monk, he always engaged in such crooked ways. This was not the first time that he had been exposed to him. He always wanted to discuss these literate things with him. He was so embarrassed, and he always said he didn't have time and would talk about it later.
He was in a bad mood, but he did not refuse this time. He said humbly: "Put it here, I will take my time to read it."
"Okay, okay." Su Qiuzi was excited and respectfully put the manuscript aside on the table. After confirming that there were no other instructions, she nodded and left.
As soon as he left, Yu Qing immediately picked up the pile of manuscripts, flipped through them, and commented, "Bullshit!"
He walked to the window and clapped his hands together, and bang, the pile of manuscript papers turned into powder that flew away in the wind.
Everyone in the room was speechless. It was their years of hard work.
Yu Qing turned around and shouted: "Chong'er, prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones. My hands are raw and I need to practice them."
