C4 Money Is Capricious(part I)

In the four private rooms, there were scholars and inkmen, merchants and wealthy merchants. All the brothels in the central hall were gathered on two people at this moment. One was Xia Liner, and the other was Qin Fu.

Everyone was waiting for Xia Liner's decision, waiting to see if Qin Fu would dare to write a letter to North Suppressing King and ask him to cancel the marriage between Xia Liner and Qin Ge. The atmosphere instantly became incomparably tense.

When Qin Fu heard Qin Ge's words, he first looked at Xia Liner. Then, without any hesitation, he patted the brocade bag on his waist. Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone flew out and landed on the table in front of him. Qin Fu took a step forward and was about to write a letter to North Suppressing King.

Seeing this scene, a trace of panic flashed across Xia Liner's eyes. Currently, she did not have enough strength to fight North Suppressing King. If North Suppressing King withdrew her engagement with Qin Ge for no reason, Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty would not dote on her anymore.

Clenching her teeth, Xia Liner coldly harrumphed and said in her heart, "I'll let you be proud for a while. After I cripple you completely, I will take back the humiliation you have suffered today."

After making her decision, Xia Liner turned around and walked out of the first room. Liu Shan wanted to follow her, but he was scared by Xia Liner's cold eyes and didn't dare to move. He obediently stayed in the first room.

Xia Liner quickly arrived at the hall on the first floor and walked to Qin Ge's side.

Seeing this, Huahua wanted to get up and leave, but Qin Ge grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Sister Hua, you just sit here."

Huahua, who was grabbed by Qin Ge, blushed even more. She charmingly rolled her eyes at Qin Ge, but she really didn't get up.

Xia Liner saw that not only did Qin Ge let her sit in the hall with so many brothels in Myriad Flowers Tavern, he also wanted her to sit next to Huahua. Her lungs were about to explode from anger.

But for the sake of today's big plan, Xia Liner could only bear with it. She coldly snorted and sat on the other side.

Qin Ge also did not pay attention to Xia Liner, even though Qin Ge and Xia Liner were engaged. But Qin Ge did not like Xia Liner's usual behavior, so he never spoiled her. Anyway, his father was North Suppressing King, and he was sworn brothers with Emperor. In terms of status, he wasn't any worse than Xia Liner.

"Sister Hua, it's almost time. Shouldn't we start fighting for Courtesan?" Qin Ge asked Hua Niang.

Hearing Qin Ge's words, Huahua nodded and gently clapped her hands. After that, a middle-aged man walked up to the tall platform in front of them and said loudly, "Today's competition for Courtesan will start now. Same old rules as before. There are a few items in Myriad Flowers Tavern that need to be auctioned first."

As the middle-aged man's voice faded, a maid in green clothes walked up. She was holding a tray with a red cloth covering it. She slowly walked to the middle-aged man's side and the middle-aged man reached out his hand. He lifted the red cloth, revealing what was on the tray.

"Today's first auction item is a 200 year old wild ginseng. After consuming it, it can greatly increase Vitality, which is very helpful for cultivation." The middle-aged man introduced it loudly.

The Heavenly Essencec Continent was vast and boundless, and there were countless of clans and cultivators. Although the Great Xia Dynasty was just a small dynasty in the Heavenly Astral Prefecture, one of the 36 provinces of the South Mountain, it was also flourishing in martial arts. Almost everyone knew how to cultivate.

Therefore, when they looked at the 200 year old wild ginseng on the tray, everyone's eyes lit up. Even Xia Liner was staring at the middle-aged man on the tall platform.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man struck while the iron was hot and said loudly, "The starting price is 10,000 gold coins. The auction starts now."

However, no one responded to him. Everyone looked at Qin Ge. The middle-aged man who was in charge of the auction also looked at Qin Ge. Everyone knew that. They could only bid for things that Qin Ge didn't like. Because no one could compete with Qin Ge in terms of money.

One should know that the Great Xia Dynasty had six prefectures and 36 counties, while North Suppressing King's fiefdom had two prefectures and 12 counties. Furthermore, these two prefectures had the richest property in the entire Great Xia Dynasty!

Everyone looked at Qin Ge, and so did Xia Liner. Although she really wanted this 200 year old wild ginseng, she had to admit it. If Qin Ge took a fancy to this wild ginseng, even if she was the Great Xia Dynasty's Princess, there was no way he could compete with Qin Ge.

"Recently, my body has been feeling weak. This radish is not bad. I can use it to make stewed beef to nourish my body." Qin Ge said slowly.

Hearing Qin Ge's words, the people in the four private rooms all shook their heads and gave up the fight.

Although Qin Ge did not say how much money he would need to bid, as long as he said he wanted this wild ginseng, no one would dare to compete with him.

When Xia Liner heard Qin Ge's words, the anger in her heart surged. But she could only forcefully endure it. 200 years of wild ginseng might be of some help to her. The key was that Qin Ge's words were too infuriating.

The middle-aged man on the high platform said loudly in high spirits, "Congratulations to Crown Prince for winning the first auction item. I believe Crown Prince will return with a bountiful harvest today!"

"You're right. Uncle Fu, reward me with a Jade Coin." Qin Ge heard the middle-aged man's words and said with a smile.

After the middle-aged man received the reward, he returned to the high platform to continue the auction. Soon, the second auction item was brought up. The middle-aged man lifted the red cloth and a white grass lay on the tray. It was emitting a faint light.

"This is a Dragon Saliva Grass. After consuming it, not only will it greatly increase one's Vitality, it will also bring unimaginable benefits to men. Everyone knows this." The middle-aged man introduced it loudly.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, cries of alarm sounded from all four rooms. One of the tightly shut windows was suddenly pushed open, and a person wearing a python robe appeared. A white-haired old man with a wrinkled face appeared in front of the window. His eyes stared intently at the Dragon Saliva Grass.

"Eldest grandfather, why are you here?" Xia Liner exclaimed as she looked at the old man who appeared by the window.

The old man in the robe was the eldest uncle of the Great Xia Dynasty's Emperor. Back then, he strongly supported Emperor's ascension to the throne, which was why he had a very high position in the Great Xia Dynasty. He was conferred the title of King Yan and had two feudal fiefdom.

When King Yan heard Xia Liner's words, he turned his head to look at Xia Liner and smiled gently. However, he immediately shifted his gaze to the Dragon Saliva Grass, and his eyes sparkled with greed and desire.

"I want this Dragon Saliva Grass." King Yan said in a deep voice.

When King Yan was young, he had once injured the most important thing for men because of fighting. All these years, he had been doing everything he could to regain his power. Unfortunately, he had never succeeded. Now that he saw this Dragon Saliva Grass, of course, he would not let it go.

When the middle-aged man on the platform heard King Yan's words, he revealed a troubled expression. Of course he wouldn't dare to offend King Yan, but there was still a little ancestor sitting below the platform. Whether or not this Dragon Saliva was given to King Yan depended on the intentions of this little ancestor.
