Chapter 42
"The losers must do one thing for the winner!"
This time the interface was changed to young city lord Yang He, who seemed to see the embarrassment on Lu Xun's face, and smiled again: "Don't worry, it must be within our power!"
"Do what I can? Do you want me to commit suicide and I will do it?"
Lu Xun's complexion still didn't improve much, and he muttered something softly there, playing the role of a dandy to the fullest, and also made the smiles of the people next to him a little bit richer.
"Tsk tsk, Second Young Master Lu is really cautious!"
Zhou Haigui sneered, secretly thinking that he could even ask such a question, how afraid of death is the second son of Zhendong Prince's Mansion?
Now that the east of Zhendong Palace is at dusk and West Mountain is at dusk, although these few martial artists are only first or second rank martial artists, they all have the most powerful background in Watanabe Castle behind them, so even Lu Dai, who controls the military power of the palace, is not too afraid.
Not to mention the second son of a royal family, the more useless Lu Xun behaved in front of them, the more satisfied they felt. They only felt that the direct line of the Zhendong royal family that had been passed down for hundreds of years was nothing more than that.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
Lu Xun glared at Zhou Haigui, and asked a question, which made the son of the seafood tycoon feel a little embarrassed.
Just kidding, who else in this world is not afraid of death?
But in the hearts of Zhou Haigui and the others, they never thought that Lu Xun would win, and if the young city lord Yang He won, how could they let them die here?
Even if you take a step back, even if Lu Dai wins, the current Zhendong Palace still has a lot to rely on these few people, and it is impossible to offend them to death.
However, the second son of Zhendong Prince's Mansion, who seemed like a fool, asked directly, "Aren't you afraid of death", which really made it difficult for Zhou Haigui to answer.
"Second Young Master, don't worry, this kind of thing is not good for us, how could I let you do it?"
It's still Yang He who can hold his breath. The underlying meaning of these words is that if he wins, what Lu Xun is asked to do will definitely be beneficial to the City Lord's Mansion, or to say it is beneficial to him, the young City Lord.
"Why, the second son is afraid of losing and dare not gamble?"
Liu Chengsu is an absolute supporter of Yang He, at this moment he sneered, and once again used this clumsy aggressive method, exactly the same as Zhou Haigui just now, it seems that they never tire of it.
"Hey, if the second son dare not gamble, then please go back. In the future Zhendong Palace, we will only know General Dongqi!"
Yang He also smiled slightly, which made Lu Dai, who was not far away, frowned. Although he was reckless, he was not a fool. He recognized this simple provocation immediately.
As the leading general of the Zhendong Palace, Lu Dai naturally knew that the City Lord's Mansion had no good intentions, and wanted to trample the Zhendong Palace under his feet, and even wanted to turn the Palace into a vassal of the City Lord's Mansion.
In fact, the only thing that the City Lord's Mansion is afraid of is Lu Dai, the Dongqi General who controls the military power, or the unparalleled third lady Yan Ruoxia.
No matter how much stronger the City Lord's Mansion is than Zhendong Wang's Mansion, after all, behind the third wife Yan Kuxia, there is a queen empress, and that is something that the small Watanabe City City Lord's Mansion cannot afford to provoke.
However, if the Zhendong Prince's Mansion has internal strife and its strength is greatly reduced, and the City Lord's Mansion will secretly control it again, then no one can talk about things.
Yang He got the instruction of his father Yang Xun, and this time he brought the second son of Zhendong Prince's Mansion who had just returned. One of the purposes was to make dirty things happen between the two brothers in name.
Moreover, the City Lord's Mansion also inquired that there is some suspicion between the line of the Princess of the Zhendong Palace and the line of the third wife, so this matter can be a big fuss.
"Hmph, just bet. Is my Zhendong Palace still afraid of you?"
It seems that this tactic of provoking the generals is really unsuccessful. I don't know if Liu Chengdi's words have worked, or Yang He's words have stimulated Lu Xun, making him stiffen his neck and agree.
"The second son is unparalleled in courage, and the Zhendong Prince's Mansion really has a successor!"
Yang He gave a thumbs up. These words still concealed a subtle provocation, which also caused some changes in Lu Dai's mind over there.
At least from Lu Dai's point of view, although today's gamble is not a big deal, if he can't even compare with a dandy second son, it will be a big loss of face.
Facing Yang He, the second-level perfect martial artist from the city lord's mansion, Lu Dai is actually not very sure that he can outwit him in terms of eyesight, but if he wins against Lu Xun, he still has 100% confidence.
"Since Second Young Master agrees, let's prove it!"
Just after Yang He's voice fell, Liu Chengji next to him took out a paper and pen from somewhere, and handed them directly to Lu Xun, making the second son look embarrassed again.
"Why, the Second Young Master didn't sign and draw a pledge, is it because he wants to deny it?"
Zhou Haigui sneered, this step by step forced Lu Xun to the corner, making it impossible for the second young master to repent, but it was a slap in the face of Zhendong Prince's Mansion.
"Okay, I'll sign, but...you have to sign too!"
As if he couldn't be forced, Lu Xun gritted his teeth, but he still kept an eye on it.
After saying this, Yang He and the others looked at each other and smiled. This second son of the palace is really cute and silly.
"That's natural!"
Liu Chengji withdrew his gaze, first signed his name on the white paper, and then handed it to Lu Xun, and the latter didn't show any pretense, and signed directly.
In a short while, the names of the five people in the hall were all on the paper, making Yang He and the others all smile with satisfaction, and at the same time looked at Lu Xun with a look of disdain.
Now that the second young master has signed his signature, there is no room for change in this matter. As long as Lu Xun loses at that time, they can take the documents and go to Zhendong Palace.
In other words, even if Lu Xun wanted to deny it, it would be impossible for him to deny it. The current Zhendong Palace is no match for the City Lord's Mansion, not to mention that he still has something in hand.
All the smiles directed at Lu Xun before were just to get this signed document. Now that the goal has been achieved, how can they care about this dude in the palace anymore?
"The auction is about to begin!"
Zhou Haigui stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass, hearing a slightly excited voice from his mouth, even Lu Xun and Lu Dai couldn't help walking there.
Fortunately, this is the largest VIP room in the branch of the International Chamber of Commerce, and even a few people can stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass.
Of course, the one standing in the middle is Yang He, the young city lord.
"I don't know if there are any good things in this large auction?"
Liu Chengsu also showed excitement on his face, the game was just a game between them, but sometimes there will be some good things in the large auctions of the International Chamber of Commerce.
This time they came to participate in the large-scale auction to represent their respective backgrounds, and their family gave them a lot of money. If they saw something useful, they would definitely buy it.
"It's not all those broken things, what good things can there be?"
Xiao Ziliang on the side said angrily, it seems that she, the eldest lady of Tiandulou, has participated in countless large-scale auctions, and she is already tired of watching them.
Lu Xun, who was standing in the corner, didn't say a word about this, secretly thinking that there are really good things in this big auction, and when his two first-grade perfect pills come out, I'm afraid you all have to stare wide-eyed, right?
Lu Xun felt very clearly that the five people in the field, except for Lu Dai's third-level martial artist and Yang He's second-level martial artist, the other three were first-level martial artists.
Since he was a martial artist of the first realm, he would probably not remain indifferent to the first-rank Perfect Qingxin Pill and the first-rank Perfect Quenpi Pill.
The effect of that quality pill on them cannot be described in words.
clang!
Just as Lu Xun was thinking wildly, a melodious chime of a bell came from the auction hall below, and then a big fat man with a red face walked out quickly from behind.
"Huh? Today's large-scale auction was actually presided over by Zheng Guanshi himself. Is there really any precious treasure?"
The few people in the VIP room above stared wide-eyed. As the powerful young and old in Watanabe Castle, how could they not know Zheng Qian, the top manager of the branch of the International Chamber of Commerce?
It's just that they have also participated in countless large-scale auctions, and the auctions hosted by Zheng Qian himself are undoubtedly very few. The only few times are all because of the good treasures.
Yang He, who was standing in the middle, also looked a little excited.
The appearance of Zheng Qian made him feel that this big auction was not in vain, maybe he could really get some good things.
"Everyone!"
Zheng Qian, who walked up to the middle platform, was trembling all over his fat face. After he glanced vaguely at a place on the second floor, he raised his hand and pressed it.
The noisy voice in the hall gradually quieted down.
"Welcome all distinguished guests, come to our alliance's once-a-month large-scale auction. I think everyone knows Zheng, so there is no need to introduce too much!"
The image of Zheng Qian is really unforgettable. Whether it is the VIP room on the second floor or the people in the lobby on the first floor, there is no one who does not know him. This can be regarded as an alternative status symbol.
"Guard Zheng, you presided over the auction in person today, is there something extraordinary?"
One of the old men with gray hair spoke loudly, his tone was quite respectful, but it was considered to be asking everyone's heart.
If there are no good things in the auction hosted by Zheng Guanshi himself, then it is not worthy of his status.
You must know that the identity of Zheng Guanshi of the Ten Thousand Nations Business League is not much worse than the city lord Yang Xun, and even more noble. After all, the Ten Thousand Nations Business League behind him is a behemoth that spreads all over the dynasties under the mountain.
"Don't worry, I will never let you down!"
On the stage, Zheng Qian's eyes were narrowed into slits, trying to keep it off.
Hearing what he said, everyone up and down couldn't help but become more interested, looking forward to the start of the auction soon so that they can see the true face of the treasure.
