Chapter 487 Treasures at the Auction

Not even a moment later.

“Brother Jiang!!”

Bai Luoyu pushed open the gate of the courtyard and saw Jiang Ning and Lu Yi, and immediately smiled.

"Shall we go?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Let's go!" Bai Luoyu nodded.

He then spoke towards the courtyard.

"Hongmei, Qingzhu, let's go!"

The words fell.

Suddenly, two women's voices were heard from afar in the courtyard.

"Yes, Master!"

"Yes, Master!!"

Jiang Ning couldn't help but glance sideways.

He still remembered that Bai Luoyu came to Guangning City with him alone, without any maid or family members.

The voice coming from the courtyard behind Bai Luoyu was obviously from two of the maids he had seen in Bai Luoyu's mansion before.

After a while.

A 28-year-old girl in a white long skirt and a girl in a turquoise long skirt appeared in Jiang Ning's sight.

She was one of the women he had met before in Bai Luoyu's mansion.

Jiang Ning had met them both several times.

"Meet Master Jiang!"

"Meet Master Jiang!"

The red plum and green bamboo mentioned by Bai Luoyu met Jiang Ning.

She immediately half-knelt down and saluted.

Obviously well trained.

Jiang Ning nodded slightly and looked at Bai Luoyu.

Bai Luoyu seemed to know Jiang Ning's doubts, and couldn't help but smile and spoke.

"I'm used to them taking care of my daily life, but I felt uncomfortable on the way, so I sent a message to them to come!"

Hear this.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Bai really knows how to enjoy himself!"

Hearing this, Bai Luoyu laughed.

"Why suffer if you can avoid it! Come to this world once, enjoy it when you can, and enjoy life while you can!!"

Hearing Bai Luoyu's words, Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.

Every stage of life has its own fun.

Just like the saying goes, if I want to buy osmanthus flowers and carry them with wine, it will never feel like the travels of youth.

Life passes by in a flash for several decades, and when you reach a certain age, you will look back on the past.

I found that after that age, I can no longer experience the fun unique to that age.

Just like the cartoons in childhood, after becoming an adult, we can no longer feel the happiness we felt back then.

Just like in his previous life, when he got older, the top-of-the-line computer at home gradually accumulated dust.

So he agreed with Bai Luoyu's words.

When you should enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself; when you should enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself.

We can't live our whole life in this world suffering nothing, can we?
After a while.

Several people walked towards the mansion where Ye Zhengqi was.

Because when leaving Shen Wenyuan's house that day, Ye Zhengqi also accepted the invitation handed to him by Xie Yun, the owner of Wanhua Tower.

"My Lords, the Master has already gone ahead and is at Wanhua Tower!"

At the gate of Ye Mansion.

The butler said respectfully to Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu.

"In that case, we'll take our leave!" Jiang Ning said.

"I'll see you two off!" Ye Mansion's housekeeper said quickly.

Wanhua Building.

At this moment, the lobby, which was originally spacious and empty, is now crowded with people and filled with luxurious carriages.

"What a grand occasion!" Jiang Ning sighed softly as he looked at the slightly congested road ahead.

Bai Luoyu waved the folding fan in his hand and looked ahead with a smile on his face: "I think there will be a lot of good things later, which will open my eyes!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ning also nodded.

Although he has read many books now, his horizons are actually quite narrow. Many things are difficult to visualize just by learning about them from books.

Just like the mustard leaves among the things he wanted to get this time.

Although he knew the effect of the mustard leaf, it could be transformed into a brand and attached to the human body, with the effect of containing Mount Sumeru in the mustard seed.

Its source also comes from Buddhist scriptures.

However, he was not very clear about what form the mustard leaves would take.

"Brother Bai, let's go!" Jiang Ning spoke and took the lead to walk towards the gate of Wanhua Building.

"Hey, isn't this Patrol Envoy Jiang and Patrol Envoy Bai?" When they arrived at the gate, someone suddenly spoke and greeted Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu looked in the direction of the sound.

"President Xu is so polite!"

When Jiang Ning saw the appearance of the person who spoke, he immediately remembered the identity of that person.

A sixth-rank official position, Tongpan.

He has the duties of inspecting officials and assisting in criminal cases, and is an important figure in the city.

It is also known as the Three Prefectures.

He was second only to the fourth-rank prefect and the fifth-rank associate prefect above him.

In the original bureaucratic system of Guangning Prefecture, Xu Tongpan was the third master of Guangning Prefecture.

The reason why Jiang Ning knew Xu Tongpan was that he was among the friends invited by Zhao Yulong before.

now.

Xu Tongpan was originally greeting several people at the door, but suddenly he greeted Jiang Ning and the other two, which instantly surprised everyone nearby and attracted their attention.

"Who are those two people?" someone asked softly.

The person next to him slowly shook his head in response to this question.

Everyone was immediately curious about Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu.

Especially when they are so young and have such extraordinary temperament, I am extremely curious.

"Patrol envoy?" Someone muttered to himself, and then seemed to think of something, so he said: "Are these two people patrol envoys from some surrounding counties? Now that Marquis Wenyuan has taken office, according to the time, the main leaders of the surrounding counties and prefectures will come to report on their work."

"It should be!" The person next to him nodded slightly upon hearing this.

After knowing the identities of Jiang Ning and the other man, everyone felt solemn.

A county inspector.

In terms of status and position, he is an extremely important figure even in Guangning Prefecture.

This can be seen from the fact that Pan Xu took the initiative to greet Jiang Ning and the other man.

Moreover, being able to serve as an inspector of a county also represents extremely strong martial arts skills.

The existence of a person who combines personal martial arts strength with great power makes them feel fearful.

Plus, they are young enough and have a bright future, so no one knows how far these two can go.

Everyone at the door looked at it.

Bai Luoyu smiled and waved his folding fan. He was already accustomed to such looks.

The two came to the gate of Wanhua Building.

"Are you two distinguished guests here to attend the summer auction?" The reception maid said respectfully to Jiang Ning and the others.

"Great!" Jiang Ning nodded and took out the invitation he had prepared long ago.

When the leading receptionist saw the black and gold invitation, her body trembled slightly.

The black and gold invitations are usually only issued to masters with the same status as the Grandmasters.

Holding the black gold invitation, you will enter the auction on the fifth floor not in your seat, but in a separate private room.

She immediately took the invitation from Jiang Ning respectfully.

The maid beside her was now walking quickly into the room.

"Please follow me, distinguished guest!" said the leading maid respectfully.

"Oh, and here's mine!" Bai Luoyu also took out the invitation that Xie Yun, the owner of Wanhua Tower, had given him.

Seeing that the invitation in Bai Luoyu's hand was also black and gold, the welcoming maid was even more respectful.

Two distinguished guests holding black and gold invitations, this is too important.

"I hope the supervisor can come soon!" she prayed silently in her heart.

She was afraid that something might happen if she was asked to entertain these two distinguished guests holding black and gold invitations.

at the same time.

Seeing Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu enter Wanhua Tower, everyone started talking.

"Sir Xu, the Patrol Envoy Jiang and Patrol Envoy Bai you mentioned are the inspectors of a certain county?"

Xu Tongpan, who had a mustache, nodded slowly: "Yes, these two are the inspectors, the inspectors of Dongling County!"

"As expected, no wonder Lord Xu took the initiative to say hello!" The person next to him understood.

"These two are young and promising, especially the Jiang patrol officer, who is extremely young. From what I understand, he has the appearance of a young master." said Xu Tongpan, who had a mustache.

"Young Grandmaster?" When the people around heard this, someone exclaimed, "It's just as Judge Xu said, his future is limitless!"

Xu Tongpan, who had a mustache, nodded slightly, and then said, "I heard that the Jiang patrol officer will participate in the military examination in midsummer."

"Does this mean that Inspector Jiang is under 30 years old?" someone asked with eyes wide open.

"Nonsense, can't you see? He looks so young, not to mention he's not even 30, I think he's in his early twenties at most." said the person next to him.

"President Xu, what rank does Inspector Jiang rank in terms of martial arts?" someone asked.

"Fourth rank, right?" Xu Tongpan said indifferently.

"hiss--"

"hiss--"

"."

Several people around them gasped in shock.

"Fourth rank. Could it be that he has already locked on to the top spot in the martial arts examination?" someone asked.

"You can't say that. Have you forgotten the seventh son of Guangning Marquis's family? As early as the beginning of the year, he entered the fourth rank. Later, he was cultivated with all his strength by Guangning Mansion. Now his strength must be extraordinary."

"That's right!!" After hearing this, some people nodded in agreement.

Wanhua Building.

"My two distinguished guests, please follow me!" The maid led the way.

"Dear guests, please be careful on the steps!" the maid reminded.

at this time.

She looked up and saw Shen Congyun standing on the second floor, and she felt relieved immediately.

"Manager Shen, you're here!" the maid said respectfully.

Shen Congyun was slightly stunned when he saw Jiang Ning standing on the steps.

Just now, someone came to report that two distinguished guests had arrived holding black and gold invitations, and he was still guessing who they would be.

After all, in Guangning City, there are not many people who are eligible to receive the black and gold invitation and be invited to the VIP room of the auction.

In addition, there are not many people who are interested in participating in the auction.

But no matter who he thought of, he didn't think of Jiang Ning.

Because a few days ago, he personally handed the invitation to the first row of the auction to Jiang Ning.

As thoughts flashed through my mind.

Shen Congyun went downstairs quickly.

"Patrol Officer Jiang, long time no see!" Shen Congyun bowed.

"Brother Shen!" Jiang Ning bowed, and then introduced the person next to him: "This is Bai Luoyu, the inspector of Dongling County."

"Greetings, Envoy Bai!" Shen Congyun bowed.

"I know you! Shen Congyun!" Bai Luoyu said.

"It is my honor to be remembered by Envoy Bai!" Shen Congyun said with a smile.

Subsequently.

He raised his hand and said, "Dear guests, please come in!"

Fifth floor.

The afternoon sun shines down from overhead, through the transparent glazed tiles, and into the lobby.

At this moment, half of the seats are occupied.

The outside of the entire lobby is high, while the center booth is low.

There are lacquered tables for one person to sit at alone, and there are also lacquered tables for two people to sit at together.

On the lacquered table, fruits, tea and fine wine had already been prepared.

Jiang Ning glanced at it and then looked away.

"You two, please follow me!" Shen Congyun spoke again, and then led the two to several VIP rooms that were more than three meters high and close to the two sides of the booth.

After a while.

Lu Yi closed the door and took off her shoes at the door.

Because the floor of the VIP room is covered with precious leather carpets.

"It's so comfortable!" Lu Yi squinted her eyes and sighed, "It feels like I'm walking on clouds!"

Jiang Ning walked towards the window wearing brocade shoes. Hearing Lu Yi's sigh, he couldn't help but smile.

"You've never stepped on clouds, so how do you know what it feels like to step on clouds?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi couldn't help but stick out her tongue at Jiang Ning, then mumbled twice, her voice unclear.

Jiang Ning also opened the window at this moment and looked at the booth below.

The distance from the window to the booth is only more than ten meters, which is similar to the distance for those sitting at the paint table in the first row, so the view is very clear.

But in terms of comfort and privacy, it is much better.

In front of the open window, there is a bead curtain like water drops, which is enough to hide the identity.

Jiang Ning glanced down a few times, then looked away and nodded with satisfaction.

Then close the window again.

He picked up the wine jug on the mahogany round table and took a sip.

"Not bad!"

He nodded again.

“The VIP room is still comfortable!”

Luyi nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, sir. The VIP box is more comfortable."

The words fell.

She picked up a few stacks of papers on the table and handed them to Jiang Ning.

"Sir, why don't you take a look? These are the items that will be auctioned later."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning took what Lu Yi handed over.

Gaze quickly catalog.

"There are 126 items to be auctioned! It looks like there will be some good stuff!" He nodded slightly.

"Sir, but we are so poor now!" Lu Yi said with a bitter face.

"That's fine!" Jiang Ning said as he browsed the introduction of the 126 auction items on the paper, "It's good to just consider it as a way to broaden your horizons!"

"Besides, I have the things I want to auction as a backup, so I can also compete!"

While talking.

Jiang Ning quickly found the things he had sent and photographed.

Serial number 119, White Tiger Bone, starting price 10 gold.

"10 gold, not bad!"

Jiang Ning nodded.

He didn't find it strange that everything here was measured in gold.

In Daxia, the truly expensive thing is gold.

The ratio of gold to silver is one to one thousand, which is enough to show the difference.

And in a world with extraordinary powers, the value of yellow and white things is just that.

No matter how expensive something is, it is not as valuable as one's own strength, nor as important as prolonging life, nor as important as the evolution and transformation of life.

In the previous life, if there were rare treasures that could extend one’s life by ten years, and the ability to protect it.

The auction of just one rare treasure is enough to create a world-class richest man.

In the face of life, wealth is just a number.

He then found the rest of the items he was bidding on.

Serial number 56, starting price for the Purple and Green Double Swords is 300 gold.

Serial number 21, the Heart Sutra of Desire-Slaying costs 800 gold.

Serial number 20, the Bi Bo Sword Sutra is worth one thousand gold.

Serial number 19, blood jade worth one thousand gold.

He glanced forward again and couldn't help but secretly click his tongue.

Starting from serial number 15 onwards, the starting price is more than one thousand.

Then, he locked on the auction item with serial number one, which was also the finale item.

The starting price was an astonishing five thousand gold.

As for the introduction, it is blank.

"Five thousand gold, I don't know what is so expensive!"

A thought flashed through Jiang Ning’s mind.
