Chapter 89: Wanling Jade Pillow
Tianzihao private room on the second floor.
The middle-aged guard stood respectfully at the door and reported Ji Ke's words truthfully to the young man in white robe.
After he finished speaking, he added two more sentences in his anger.
"His Royal Highness, you are the eldest prince of our Changfeng Kingdom. How noble is your status!"
"It's her honor that you are willing to invite her. I didn't expect that girl to be so rude!"
The young man in white robe sat at the table, holding a wine glass in one hand and leaning on his chin in the other, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
He pondered for a moment, and seemed to murmur to himself, "It's really rare to see such a beautiful, lovely and aura girl."
"This prince has traveled to Changfeng and Mao Rong and other countries, but he has never seen such a lovely girl. Her beauty and agility are almost on a par with Xuanxuan..."
"However, she has a soft spot for that ordinary black-robed youth, what a pity!"
The middle-aged guard frowned and thought for a while, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice: "Your Highness, do you want your subordinates to teach that kid a lesson?"
"The subordinates will kidnap that girl later, and let your highness play around with you tonight..."
He has done this kind of thing for the eldest prince before, and more than once. If he really wants to do this kind of thing, he is very familiar with it.
It is precisely because of this that he was highly valued by the First Prince and was taken by his side.
The eldest prince frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "No need, put this matter aside for the time being."
"Go and check how many banknotes we have with us, and prepare all the money. This prince will go to Tianbaolou later."
"Tonight's auction will have a jade pillow of ten thousand spirits. It is said that this item has a magical effect. It can regulate the yin and yang and treat various ailments."
"Xuanxuan has been tortured by extreme cold and poison since she was a child. If this prince gets the Wanling Jade Pillow as a gift to her, she will definitely treat me..."
The middle-aged guard handed over his orders and hurriedly went down to count the silver and money in the luggage.
In the lobby on the first floor, Ji Tianxing and Ji Ke continued to eat.
Although I was disturbed by an inexplicable noble son just now, it did not affect Ji Ke's mood.
The two were eating when they heard the chatting of the guests at the next table, with words such as auction and Tianbao Lou mixed in their words.
Ji Ke listened for a while, and then listened to a general idea.
She showed a look of interest and said to Ji Tianxing, "Brother Tianxing, I heard that there will be an auction tonight in the Tianbao Building in the city. This is an annual event."
"Tonight is so lively in the city, mostly because of this auction, let's go and see it too?"
Ji Tianxing frowned slightly, shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "Keke, let's not join in the fun."
"When we were in the imperial city, we didn't know how many auction events we had seen. This Fengyang City is far less prosperous than the imperial city. It's just an auction, so don't watch it."
Although Ji Ke had some yearning in her heart, seeing Ji Tianxing's disapproval, she could only pursed her lips and said angrily, "Okay, listen to brother Tianxing."
When the two were talking, a handsome young man at the adjacent table had been listening to the conversation with a smile on his face.
This young man in a blue robe was about the same age as Ji Tianxing.
There were also two middle-aged warriors standing beside the table, apparently his entourage guards.
After hearing Ji Tianxing's words, the blue-robed youth smiled slightly and said to Ji Tianxing, "What this brother said is wrong, you don't know anything about it, this Fengyang City is the only place for the three surrounding countries to enter Hengchuan. It is also an important place for merchants to trade.”
"Tianbaolou is also a big business with industries all over the surrounding three countries. The auction held every year is a top event for the surrounding three countries. Otherwise, Fengyang City would not have gathered so many merchants and warriors tonight."
Ji Tianxing raised his brows, stared at the blue-robed boy, and listened to him quietly without interrupting.
Ji Ke's beautiful eyes flashed with yearning again, obviously a little moved.
Seeing this scene, the blue-robed youth got up and came to Ji Tianxing's table to sit down, and said in a low voice, "Brother, all kinds of valuable treasures will appear in all auctions, most of which are heavenly and earthly treasures that warriors dream of."
"Tonight's auction, it is said that Tianbaolou will come up with a rare and rare treasure to auction, that is a jade pillow of ten thousand spirits!"
"People who suffer from serious diseases or yin and yang disorders can use this to heal. A woman who sleeps on this jade pillow can maintain her youth and beauty forever."
"Even, the warriors will use this item to cultivate, and they will get twice the result with half the effort and quickly improve their strength... All in all, this treasure has an extraordinary origin and a wonderful effect."
Hearing the words "Eternal Youth" and "Beautiful Beauty", Ji Ke's eyes suddenly glowed, and she couldn't wait to see it.
Ji Tianxing still looked calm, and looked at the blue-robed boy with a scrutiny in his eyes.
A stranger who had never met before, even took the initiative to introduce the auction of Tianbaolou to him, and described it as very attractive.
He had to be vigilant and suspicious, this unfamiliar blue-robed boy, could it be Tianbaolou's nursery?
The blue-robed youth obviously saw Ji Tianxing's suspicions, he was not embarrassed at all, and still had a hearty smile on his face.
He bowed his hands to Ji Tianxing and Ji Ke and said to himself, "This brother, this young lady, is under Nie Hao, and is the grandson of Marshal Qiankun of Mao Rongguo."
When he mentioned his grandfather, Marshal Qiankun, his face naturally showed pride.
Ji Tianxing immediately understood, smiled kindly at Nie Hao, bowed his hands and said, "It turns out to be the grandson of Marshal Qiankun, I'm sorry."
Marshal Qiankun, named Nie Qiankun, was Mao Rongguo's military marshal and the country's first general.
The royal family of Mao Rongguo was weak and the emperor was incompetent, but Marshal Qiankun was the mainstay of Mao Rongguo and was deeply admired by the Chinese people.
Marshal Qiankun fought for his entire life, with outstanding achievements and few defeats. It was his iron-blooded army who protected Mao Rongguo's safety for a hundred years and made the surrounding countries jealous.
Although there were many frictions between Qingyunguo and Mao Rongguo, the people of Qingyunguo still respect Marshal Qiankun.
Ji Tianxing saw that Nie Hao had an extraordinary bearing, and his speech and demeanor were bright and upright, with the demeanor of a descendant of a general, and his doubts were naturally dispelled.
He exchanged a few words with Nie Hao, exchanged names, and then made a gesture of invitation, asking Nie Hao to sit down and talk.
After Nie Hao was seated, he asked, "Brother Nie, take the liberty to ask, how do you know so much about the auction of Tianbaolou?"
Nie Hao didn't hide it, he laughed at himself, and said in a low voice: "To be honest, I passed by Fengyang City this time, and I stayed there for two days, just waiting for this auction."
"My father fought on the battlefield all the year round, defending the territory, and he was left with a life-long injury that would never heal."
"I heard the news and learned that the Wanling Jade Pillow that Tianbaolou is going to auction can relieve my father's injury and make my father live a few more years, so I made a special trip to buy the Wanling Jade Pillow."
