Rich as a country?
That's just a rumor. How can a businessman protect wealth that could rival an entire country?
"What kind of treasure is this meteorite copper that makes the people in Box 9 so determined to get it?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's some kind of magical weapon?"
"Lighting the sky lantern is a grand event. Many hands add fuel to the flames. I'm here to help add fuel to the fire..."
"Well said, participation is what matters."
"The ring tone of this Crescent Hotel is so crisp. This time I want to listen to it carefully."
Since people can participate in such a grand event without having to pay for it themselves, there are naturally many people who come to join in the fun.
"205"
"210"
.........
"810"
.........
"1100"
To light a sky lantern one not only needs sufficient financial resources but also a big heart; Yin Xinyue was fine, but Lai Fu, who was counting secretly, fainted while counting; it was also at this time that the auctioneer, seizing the opportunity, brought down the hammer.
"Well, let us congratulate the guest in Room 9 for winning the bronze prize.
Next is the last lot of this auction. It is just a comb, but it is also a keepsake with special meaning—Qu Rumei. Its starting price is 200 million taels. Please start bidding…”
As he spoke, the auctioneer revealed the last item.
"It's just a plain looking comb, why is it priced at 200 million taels?"
"A token, what kind of a token is this?"
“Qu Rumei?
The new moon is curved like an eyebrow, but there is no reunion in mind. The red beans are unbearable to look at, and my eyes are full of tears of lovesickness. I split peaches all day long, but the person is in my heart. The flowers across the wall between the two ears will become a couple sooner or later.
This is…………"
There were still some people who understood what was going on at the scene, and they immediately understood Yin Xinyue's codeword, and then the bells started to ring one after another.
"Light up"
Now that everyone has guessed it, what about Li Chengqian who is familiar with the plot? He asked Wuzhu to light the lamp on his behalf.
Chapter 438: Moving Mountain Lineage
"Grim-faced Yama Wuzhu, where does he get so much money to light the sky lanterns?"
Although Wu Zhu had made a great name for himself, in the eyes of the dignitaries present, he was just a high-level fighter.
"Wu Zhu doesn't have it, but Li Chengqian does. Isn't that clear enough? The two families are going to form an alliance through marriage."
Businessmen only see profit, and politicians only see power, but they can also see things related to what they want from clues.
"This has actually been foreshadowed. Just look at who has been in charge of the security at the Xingyue Hotel these days."
When everyone thought about it, it was true. If there was no reason, why would Wu Zhu and his men help you guard the Crescent Hotel?
Ding Dong, Ding Dong
The auction bell still rang from time to time, but when people thought that the final auction proceeds would be passed from the Hunan Provincial Governor's Office to the Crescent Hotel, not many people came to join in the fun this time.
That’s right, you both have been chosen as a perfect couple, and yet you let us get involved and help set the stage and send your blessings. Isn’t this teasing us?
Three minutes later, seeing that no one pressed the bell, the auctioneer had no choice but to bring down the hammer.
"It's only 520 million, and we still have about half of the gap to fill..."
Although both of them were lighting sky lanterns, the final transaction prices were very different; Lai Fu, the butler who had just fainted, had already woken up, but at this moment he would rather not wake up.
"Although we lost some money, no one should be planning to attack our Crescent Hotel in the next few days."
"Miss, you are right. You have to sacrifice before you can gain. But your marriage to Governor Li is just a matter of time. The master just passed away. Logically, you should observe mourning for him for three years before you can get married."
After his father passed away, he observed mourning for three years before getting married. This made sense everywhere. Lai Fu gave Yin Xinyue a good idea this time.
"Let me think about this again?"
Yin Xinyue was naturally reluctant to marry a man she had never met, as a concubine. Even if she could delay it for a year or two, let alone three years, she would be fine. But was she qualified to bargain with Li Chengqian?
Yin Xinyue was tempted, but she also knew that it was not only unkind but also dangerous.
Dong dong dong
"Come in"
"Ms. Yin"
Wuzhu came in with two brocade boxes, one of which was the comb that had just been bought - Qu Rumei.
"Fifth lieutenant, the auction has just ended. I will hand over the treasures you brought and the money earned from the auction to you within three days."
Without waiting for Wu Zhu to speak, Yin Xinyue spoke first.
"The governor said that there is no need to worry about the money. Here is your comb, and this is what the governor asked me to give you."
Wu Zhu handed over two brocade boxes.
There was no need to look at the comb. Yin Xinyue opened another brocade box in front of Wuzhu. There was a letter and a wooden token inside. She spent five minutes reading the letter written by Li Chengqian.
"I know what Governor Li means. It will take at most three months. Once I have dealt with things here, I will go south to marry him..."
"I will leave Peking and return to Star City in the near future, but the Demon Extermination Team will stay to take care of my wife's safety."
"Then... I'll trouble you, Adjutant."
Wu Zhu's sudden change of words made Yin Xinyue a little confused at first, but she quickly reacted.
.....................
"Miss, didn't you say you needed to think about it? Once you enter the Deep Four Seas, go to Star City, and enter the Governor's Mansion, I'm afraid you won't be able to control yourself by then."
After Wu Zhu left, Lai Fu couldn't help but speak; he watched Yin Xinyue grow up and only treated her as a daughter. He really didn't want her to reach this point for revenge and to protect the family business.
"Uncle Fu, look..."
Yin Xinyue didn't treat him as an outsider and directly handed him the letter written by Li Chengqian to her.
"This... Miss, do you suspect that he is retreating to advance?"
However, Li Chengqian wrote in the letter that regardless of whether the two families got married or not, he would take on Yin Yongquan's revenge; and he also gave Yin Xinyue three months to consider whether she wanted to become his woman.
"Beiping is a city of mixed people. My father's death has made these people see the true face of our Crescent Hotel. We are now like a three-year-old child carrying gold through a busy city. As long as Li Chengqian announces that there is no marriage between our two families, believe it or not, his people will leave and someone will eat us alive the next moment."
Without sufficient military force to protect it, no matter how much wealth you have, it will be in vain; this is the truth that Yin Xinyue has seen most clearly in recent days.
"Miss, our Yin family has been operating in Beiping for many years, and we still have some relatives and friends who are willing to help us, plus our allies in the Crescent Hotel..."
"Uncle Fu, let's stop deceiving ourselves. Are those allies you mentioned useful? How much sponsorship do we give them every year?
But when my father got into trouble, I heard that it was the Zhang family in Northeast China who did it. What did they say? How did they do it?
Besides telling me to mourn, they also said to take a long-term view and that these people should be reliable, even sows can climb trees. "
If there were other ways, why would Yin Xinyue resort to such a desperate measure and degenerate into becoming someone's concubine?
...............
"Meet the Fifth Lieutenant"
Knowing that it is not easy to meet Li Chengqian, the Partridge Whistle trio set their sights on Wuzhu.
"You just want to see me, what's the matter?"
"I am a partridge whistle from the mountain-moving lineage."
"Old Foreigner"
"Flower Spirit"
"We want to work for Governor Li and ask for help in introducing us to him, Deputy Officer Five."
After handing over an egg-sized night-shining pearl, Partridge Whistle said to Wuzhu.
Wu Zhu is Li Chengqian's right-hand man after all, and there are many people who want to get in touch with Li Chengqian through him, so he is actually not unfamiliar with this scene.
"The governor doesn't keep idle people under his command. He has a lot of things to do every day. What skills do you have that are worth me introducing you to him?"
"My Banshan clan has the secret techniques of tomb robbing and sea reclamation, which can help Governor Li obtain the treasures from the earth and save the people."
We can help dig graves and make money.
That's what he meant, but when the words came out of Partridge Whistle's mouth, they sounded a lot more grand and elegant.
"My men said you are quite skilled. Fight me. All three of you can fight together. If you can hold out for three minutes, I will take you to see the warlord."
After encountering this kind of thing many times, Wuzhu has also summed up a set of special interview methods.
"Don't look down on me. Three of you are attacking me at the same time. I can beat you down by myself."
"Hua Ling, don't be unreasonable. Fifth lieutenant, my sister is young and ignorant, please don't argue with her."
When asking for help, one should have the attitude of asking for help, especially when facing someone like Wu Zhu, Partridge Whistle quickly apologized.
"Bring a plate over here and light a stick of incense..."
Wu Zhu gave orders to his men.
"Fifth lieutenant, what are you doing?"
Ding
Wu Zhu took the plate from his men and placed the night-shining pearl given by Queqiao Shao on the plate:
"I'll give you one incense stick of time. During this time, as long as the beads leave the plate, I will help you introduce the warlord."
"Is this true, Fifth Lieutenant?"
"I never tell a lie in my life."
Wu Zhu said expressionlessly.
Chapter 439: Good Destiny
People with special skills usually have their own tempers, and Partridge Whistle is no exception. In order to see Li Chengqian and for the sake of the Zagrama people, he can swallow his anger; but when Wuzhu looked down on him, he still got angry.
"In that case, Fifth Officer, I am sorry for the offense."
Wu Zhu didn't say much, but he held the plate with the night pearl in his left hand and spread out his right hand, making a gesture of invitation, which really had some of Huang Feihong's style.
Kuixing Kicking Fight - Kick Zijin Crown Backwards
A lion uses all its strength to fight a rabbit. As soon as Partridge Whistle came up, he used this mountain-moving skill and kicked towards Wuzhu's left hand that was holding the jade plate.
"Hey, that's interesting..."
But it's just a little interesting. Si Gu Jian can fight against thousands of soldiers alone, and Wu Zhu is at the same level as him. It should be easy for him to defeat the masters of the current world.
With just three simple movements of pulling, leading and throwing, the Partridge Whistle flew more than five meters away, and the night pearl in the Wuzhu jade plate did not even turn, let alone leave the jade plate.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Partridge Whistle used a heavy weight and barely avoided falling to the ground, but at this moment his face changed drastically, as if he was facing a powerful enemy.
"You three should come together."
As he spoke, Wuzhu used his left foot as the center and his right foot as a compass to draw a circle on the ground.
"I only operate within this circle. If you can force me out of this circle, you win. I will still help you introduce the warlord."
You learn the skills that correspond to the master you follow; Wu Zhu has learned all about Li Chengqian's pretentiousness.
"Brother?"
"Let's go together."
After just one encounter, Partridge Whistle clearly realized the gap between himself and Wuzhu, so how could he continue to be so arrogant?
