Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 123 The Beauty of the Western Regions
Luo Shanan did what he said, and immediately turned around and walked into the courtyard. Almost every guest who came in led them to the direction of the courtyard.

Seeing this situation, Su Wei hesitated: "My lord, are you sure we still want to go in? You can't believe a word that Rakshasa said, and I don't know who else is paying attention to us. I think the person at the entrance The novice has a problem, or that master Wuchen has a problem..."

People who come to an unfamiliar place for the first time will inevitably become a target. Huo Mingzhu has already arrived here, and there is no possibility of giving up halfway. She took a look at the scene, pulled Su Yu out of the "South Street" shop, and said: " follow me……"

After about half a stick of incense, in a hidden alley behind "South Street", Su Hui looked at the two people lying down in front of her, and was too frightened to pick up the Shura mask in Huo Mingzhu's hand.

"Little Miss, if someone finds out that you are making a fuss here and stealing other people's masks, we will be in big trouble later!" Su Yu said anxiously.

Huo Mingzhu had already taken off her mask and replaced it with a Shura mask, she did not put back the original Yaksha mask on the faces of the two lying on the ground, but destroyed it with internal force, urging Su Yu to say: "If you don't wear it, you can just stay here and wait for death. Someone will come later, no matter what you say, you won't be able to explain clearly."

Saying that, she threw the mask to Suhui: "Hurry up!"

Having come to this point, Su Yu had no choice but to follow Huo Mingzhu's arrangement in everything, she complained in a low voice: "Miss, you are so bold, if I come out with you this time, I'm going to die!"

She puts on the same Shura mask and also destroys the Yaksha mask.

Without giving her time to chatter, Huo Mingzhu tied up the two stunned people, hid them in the innermost alley, and gagged their mouths. No one should find out before the black market is over.

When turning back to "South Street", Huo Mingzhu noticed that there were many "Sura" coming and going, and did not see "Yasha" again.When I walked in, I saw a group of people gathered in the huge courtyard. On the high platform stood a man wearing a red Hades mask, who happened to knock on the wooden fish in front of him, and said after three rings: "Ladies and gentlemen, old rules, the auction house Here, new customers are given priority... I don't know where Yasha is today?"

As soon as this remark came out, many people began to patrol the venue, wanting to find Yasha's location.Su Hui tugged at Huo Mingzhu's hand nervously, and Huo Mingzhu held her arm, like those masked people, looking around, pretending to look for the so-called "Yasha", that is, themselves.

Naturally, they couldn't find it, and there were no Yashas everywhere.

"Strange, where is Yasha?" Someone began to shout.

"Didn't you say there is a baby? Yasha is gone, so what is there to see in today's auction?" Someone asked with dissatisfaction.

Huo Mingzhu has always been cautious in her words and deeds. On this kind of occasion, it is absolutely impossible to startle the snake, but Su Rui is different. She asked when she had any questions, and when she saw a person wearing a Shura mask parked beside her, she asked: "Brother, why is everyone staring at Yasha?"

As soon as this remark was made, the man wearing the Shura mask squinted at Su Yu. This man was tall and had an unusually cold aura on his body. He had his hands folded around his chest, and he didn't seem to have thought of talking to anyone. , His eyes hidden under the mask, glanced at Sulu, looked at Huo Mingzhu, paused for a moment and said: "Because Yasha is a novice, he is easy to deceive. Since this place is called a black market, it naturally has its rules. You have It's Shura, why don't you even understand these rules?"

His question made Su Hui a little frightened, knowing that she had caused trouble, and Huo Mingzhu couldn't stop her, so she could only stand in front of Su Hui, facing the condescending Shura man with the same cold attitude, and said in a deep voice: "Since this place is called a black market, there will inevitably be distrust between people. It is understandable for us to try to test brother Taiwan, right? There are no yakshas in the place, and it seems that there is no fun tonight!"

Huo Mingzhu's demeanor has become calm, even if she almost lost an ear in North Street at that moment, she can still deal with it calmly, not to mention, everyone is wearing a mask now.As long as she doesn't tear her face easily, she has nothing to worry about. Who wouldn't talk nonsense?
Seeing her, the Shura man sighed, seemed to believe her words, and nodded along with her: "Indeed, if there is no Yasha present, this opening would not be fun."

There are all kinds of people gathered in the courtyard, people wearing all kinds of clothes, and some of them are women at a glance, maybe there are also half of the guests who are dressed as men like Huo Mingzhu, and everyone is wearing a mask.If you look carefully, none of the group of people showed their true colors, except for a few little ghosts in front of the red-faced Hades—they were also like the guys on North Street, each of them was covered with a human skin mask, and the expressions on their faces were either angry or angry. Sadly, nothing has changed.If you want to think about it, you always feel a little scared.

"Where is Yasha?!" The man wearing the Hades mask looked at the wooden fish again and asked.On this occasion, the only thing that can reflect the Buddhist ashram is probably the out-of-fit wooden fish. The sound is not as crisp as a bell.

His question came to nothing, and indeed there was no Yaksha in the audience.

In desperation, the Hades mask had no choice but to sigh: "Since Yasha is not here, I invite Raksha to come forward and speak. What surprises do you want to bring to all the guests today?"

Rakshasa?Huo Mingzhu looked around, there were quite a few people wearing Rakshasa masks, who was this Hades talking about?No matter how doubtful she was, it was not easy to ask people, which showed her ignorance, but she just witnessed the figure walking up the high platform and turned a Rakshasa face.

Only then did Huo Mingzhu see clearly that the "Raksha" on stage was different from the Rakshasa off stage. The face of the Rakshasa off stage was black, while his face was red, the same color as the "King of Hades".Presumably in this black market, red is the most respected.

When Huo Mingzhu thought about this, she was startled suddenly, and turned her head to look at the tall man beside her, only then did she realize that his Shura mask... was red, different from hers and Suhui's, and different from any other mask in the arena. Every Shura is different...

"Thank you all distinguished guests for coming. Tonight I brought a treasure to all guests..." the red-faced Rakshasa said, and then clapped his hands under the curious eyes of everyone: "Bring the treasure up here."

As soon as the words fell, four people carried a large lacquered wooden box up. As soon as the box fell to the ground, the lock fell off, and the lid was opened immediately. A dancer in Western Region costume stood up little by little, her He wears a headdress from the Western Regions on his head, and a layer of light gauze is wrapped around his face...

"It's so beautiful..." Su Yu admired.

It is indeed beautiful, the dancer's waist is twisted, her waist is slender, her belly is flat, she has no fat, she is completely different from the women in Beijing, she is full of style, even Huo Mingzhu, as a woman, doesn't realize it Being attracted by her, I couldn't take my eyes off her gestures and those charming eyes, let alone those men.

When everyone was intoxicated by the dancer's dancing posture and style, the red-faced Raksha said: "She is called Jian Jian. She comes from the Western Regions. She is the most precious treasure tonight. Everyone, please think about the price..."

It was only then that Huo Mingzhu realized that this black market was really unusual, treasures were not all dead things, they could also be able to talk.The law of this dynasty prohibits private trading of people. This kind of auction is tantamount to violating the law. The black market creators are so bold.

She watched the changes with a calm expression, but not everyone is interested in beauties. No, someone raised an objection: "Although a beauty is beautiful and dances gracefully, she is just a woman after all. What is so precious? Rakshasa , you won’t be out of your wits, and won’t be able to find any more valuable treasures, will you?”
