The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 45 Bought a bunch of useless things
The auction on that day became Wei Zhen's exclusive purchasing session.

At a huge expense, he bought a bunch of things that Yuan Xu thought were just ordinary gadgets.

After the auction was over, Yuan Xu sent someone to look for him, only to find that he left the venue early and left Taiyuan.

The guards cleaned the venue.

Tian Feng and others accompanied Yuan Xu to watch from a distance.

"Will Wei Zhen buy such things, will it bring disadvantages to the young master?" Tian Feng was always uneasy about Wei Zhen's purpose of participating in the auction.

Yuan Xu knew very well that the things that were auctioned were really strange and ingenious things that people who lived in the late Han Dynasty had never seen before.

But in fact, those lots had no real value at all, at most they could only be used as toys for children.

"What are your plans?" He asked Tian Feng.

"Send someone to chase and take the things back." Tian Feng replied, "We must not fall into Cao Cao's hands."

"That's not allowed!" Yuan Xu categorically vetoed: "The lot was bought by others, and it was neither stolen nor robbed. We snatched it back. Who would dare to participate in the auction in the future?"

"But..." What Tian Feng was worried about was that those rare treasures would fall into Cao Cao's hands.

"Since we are doing business, we must be honest." Yuan Xu said solemnly: "If someone buys it, we should not try to grab it back. It doesn't matter who bought it, because the loss of trust will kill us!"

He looked at Zhen Yan: "Jucai Ling, do you think so?"

Gathering orders?
Zhen Yan was at a loss, not knowing why Yuan Xu called him that.

"What the young master said is true." He responded first, and then asked: "I don't know what the fortune-gathering order is..."

"It's an official who makes money." Yuan Xu replied carelessly.

Zhen Yan was dumbfounded.

Following the fourth son of the Yuan family, he got nothing but an official position that he had never had before...

Whispering in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, his expression was very strange.

"I'm the governor of Taiyuan. I'm the one who has the final say on any official in Taiyuan?" Yuan Xu said, "I've given you the opportunity, so don't let me down."

Zhen Yan quickly agreed.

Yuan Xu left the palace, Tian Feng followed behind him.

"Do you have anything else to do?" He asked Tian Feng.

"I just want to ask, what do you plan to do with the money from the auction?"

"Part of it is used to buy farming cattle." Yuan Xu replied: "The other part is used to buy war horses. The fields need to be plowed and the battles must be fought."

"The recruitment notice has been issued." Tian Feng said again: "It won't be long before someone should come to join the army."

"Conscription must be strictly controlled." Yuan Xu explained: "It's okay to be weak, as long as you eat well and practice diligently, your health will always improve. The main ones are the sick, so don't let them sneak into the barracks. Spend money Giving them health care is the second priority, and infecting other soldiers will cause serious trouble."

"I will do what you tell me with all my heart." Tian Feng responded.

"There are many things, and you are busy." Yuan Xu grinned at him.

"When you do something for the young master, you will definitely put your heart and soul into it." Tian Feng responded.

He then asked Yuan Xu: "Young master, do you find it strange?"

Yuan Xu asked, "What's so strange?"

"It's still Wei Zhen."

"Still thinking about him?" Yuan Xu chuckled: "Those things he bought look exquisite, but they are actually useless. Let him take them back and play with Cao Cao. If Cao Cao gets something to play with, that's the best thing to do." better."

"My lord doesn't intend to chase the things back, and I don't dare to think about it." Tian Feng said, "What I said is strange, it takes three days to travel from Xudu to Taiyuan..."

Yuan Xu understood immediately.

From Xudu to Taiyuan, although the distance is not too far, it can't be considered short.

Hurry up, and you can indeed arrive in three days.

If the news of the auction reached Xudu, the time would be far from enough.

"You mean..." Even though he understood, Yuan Xu pressed on.

"Cao Cao may have planted an eyeliner in Taiyuan." Tian Feng replied.

Yuan Xu nodded: "Wei Zhen should have been near Taiyuan, so he can participate in the auction."

"Exactly." Tian Feng replied: "You have to be extremely careful."

"Send more people to patrol around, don't give them a chance to make trouble." Yuan Xu ordered.

"I will arrange it." Tian Feng agreed.

At the Taiyuan auction, Wei Zhen took the top spot with a high price and took all the lots.

After returning to Xudu, he immediately begged to see Cao Cao.

Cao Cao summoned all the people and met them in the conference hall.

In the conference hall, Wei Zhen presented the photographed items to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao picked up the bubble machine first: "What is this?"

"Return to the lord." Wei Zhen was a little proud: "This thing is magical, it can spray colorful bubbles."

"Show us." Cao Cao ordered.

Wei Zhen asked the guard to bring water up, threw a small piece of soap into it, and stirred it into soapy water.

Cao Cao looked puzzled: "What are you doing?"

"To spray colorful bubbles, you must use this thing to adjust the water." Wei Zhen explained while pouring soapy water into the bubble machine.

Cao Cao and everyone in the hall were watching.

After filling with soapy water, Wei Zhen pressed the button of the bubble machine, and a string of bubbles spewed out, fluttering and flying in front of everyone's eyes.

The crowd was amazed.

They had never seen anything so miraculous.

Cao Cao's face turned cold: "What's the use of this thing?"

Everyone present was silent for a moment, and the complacency on Wei Zhen's face faded instantly.

When I bought it, I only thought it was amazing, but I didn't really think about its usefulness.

"This..." Wei Zhen was a little flustered, so she had to admit frankly: "It doesn't seem to be useful..."

"Two thousand hanging money, I bought a useless thing and came back." Cao Cao was angry: "Your Wei family has money, so you can't treat it like this."

Wei Zhen's face was ashen, and his eyes fell on the little tin frog by chance: "My lord, I also brought back the mechanism beast."

"Show us." Cao Cao obviously no longer had expectations.

Wei Zhen wound up the little tin frog and put it on the ground.

The little tin frog hopped around on the ground.

Everyone was amazed, but Cao Cao's face turned green: "Enough!"

Wei Zhen quickly put away the little tin frog and stood in the hall with his head bowed.

"I don't need to demonstrate the others, they must be useless things." Cao Cao said: "What kind of bubble machine, mechanism beast... It's just nonsense!"

Speaking of this, he felt a sharp pain in his head.

Covering his forehead, he waved at Wei Zhen: "Go down."

Wei Zhen resigned immediately as if she had received an amnesty.

Cao Cao reminded: "Take away your mechanism beast and bubble machine!"

Hurriedly packing up the pile of things that were taken back, Wei Zhen fled as if to leave the meeting room.

"Stupid!" After he left, Cao Cao grabbed the cup on the table and threw it out: "Spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy back a bunch of useless things, and let Yuan Xianxin find out that we have someone lurking in Taiyuan..."

"My lord, calm down." Guo Jia persuaded, "At least we know that Yuan Xianxin can get novelty objects that have never appeared in the world."

"That's what I'm worried about." Cao Cao said with a cold face: "Until now, who can tell how much he is capable of?"
