More and more officials and nobles came to the Marquis Clan's auction, and these people all let their servants go and buy tickets, so that they could get a good seat as soon as possible. Some nobles, in order to get a good ticket, did not hesitate to use a high price to snatch it from others.
They were also angry that they did not receive an invitation from Wu Hou Auction House. Their positions in Imperial City were not low.
After that, when they saw some people who did not need to buy tickets to enter, they did not even dare to say a word.
These people were all second rank or above officials, or first rank counts or above nobles. Compared to them, the difference was not just a little bit.
They recognized that this Wu Hou Gang auction house was not simple.
"General Cao has arrived!" Following a shout, a group of mighty men and horses rushed over.
The people on the left and right opened up a path, looking towards the newcomers.
When they saw who it was, they quickly bowed and greeted: "Greetings, General Cao!"
General Cao Jianda, this was the new General who took over Luo Gongming's position. At the same time, he also had the status of a first rank count.
Originally, Fen Tian Xiong's position was above Cao Jianda. After Cao Jianda followed the right person, he suddenly rose up and reached the same position as Fen Tian Xiong.
Cao Jianda's group had fifty people. Other than him, he also brought his son Cao Qing Gong.
Now, Cao Qing Gong could be said to be in high spirits. He had already broken through the Earth Sea Realm and became a true king. His future was limitless.
For him to be able to reach this step, he had to thank one person. Without that person, he would not have been able to break through to king so quickly.
"Father, do you think the prince will come?" Cao Qing Gong asked his father.
"I think he will. This is the first auction. He will definitely come to promote it." Cao Jianda replied. After pausing for a moment, he said: "When you see the prince, you have to perform well. You cannot be as willful as before."
Cao Qing Gong laughed: "Father, I do not have the guts. If the prince likes me, I am willing to serve the prince."
"En, this attitude is not bad. If you can follow the prince, father will not feel ashamed. Instead, I will be happy." Cao Jianda said. Then he said: "It is a pity that your sister does not have the life of a princess!"
At this moment, there was another commotion as another group of people rushed over.
"Eh, isn't that the new prime minister, Lord Qiao? He's here too. "Someone exclaimed softly.
At this moment, there were even more people kneeling down. They all loudly and respectfully said, "Greetings, Prime Minister!"
The number of people in this group was smaller than Cao Jianda's, a mere twenty. However, these twenty people were all part of the Imperial Guard, and each of them had reached the Human General level. Qiao Xiang sat on a soft couch, a smile on his face as he continuously nodded to the commoners. He was extremely amiable.
Everyone could be considered to have truly witnessed the power of Wu Hou Gang's auction house.
Even a First Grade High Official had been invited. What kind of power was this?
Huang Changjian led a few people to greet them. They bowed to Third Master Qiao and Cao Jianda and welcomed them in.
Huang Changjian was the manager of the auction house. He was just a businessman. It was an honor to be able to welcome such a high official. However, in the eyes of many people, Wu Hou Gang did not follow the rules. It was completely unreasonable that the boss behind them did not come out to greet them.
Third Master Qiao and Cao Jianda did not get angry. Instead, they greeted Huang Changjian with a few words. Instantly, the people around them felt that Wu Hou Gang was unfathomable. Many people were certain that Wu Hou Gang was related to Prince Yang's Residence.
Soon, other high officials from the imperial court arrived, including Wu Sanhao.
Wu Sanhao had committed a great crime by bringing a hundred thousand soldiers back to the city. Even though he supported the Empress's ascension, the Empress not only weakened his military strength, but also forced him to stay in King City. He was not allowed to leave King City in a short period of time.
Actually, Wu Sanhao could have ignored this request, but he still complied.
He also wanted to stay in King City for a while to see what kind of courage the Empress had. He also wanted to prevent other traitors from making a move against the new Emperor.
Wu Sanhao was loyal to the Imperial Family. As long as it was the Tang Clan's bloodline, he would support it. Before, he supported Prince Fu An because he thought that Prince Fu An was better than the previous Emperor. But now, he wanted to give the new Emperor a chance to prove himself. If the new Emperor did well, he would work hard to support him.
As time passed, the auction house was ready to start.
At this time, someone announced, "His Highness has arrived!"
All of a sudden, a group of men and horses galloped over from afar. Billowing smoke billowed up from here, scaring the people on the official road into hiding one after another.
The person leading the group was Yang Wu. He was wearing a white robe and a black cloak. This cloak was personally made by his mother. It made him look handsome and dignified. He sat cross-legged on the silver patterned tortoise. The silver patterned tortoise floated forward. Its strong aura was very amazing.
On his left was Shou Hou, who was riding a Fire Cloud Tiger. Since Yang Wu gave Shou Hou Hou the Fire Cloud Tiger, Shou Hou Hou became Shou Hou Hou's mount. They both cultivated fire Xuan Qi. On his right was Military Advisor Lu Zhi, who was more beautiful than a beauty. He was riding a Dragon Blooded Horse and wearing a battle armor. He tried to make himself look more manly.
Greetings to Wangye! Long live Wangye! All the people present knelt down and saluted.
Only Wu Sanhao, Qiao San Ye, Cao Jianda, and other high-ranking people did not need to kneel.
No need to be so courteous. It was Yang Wu's first time being treated like this. He was in a good mood and calmly called everyone up.
Everyone looked at Yang Wu with eyes full of worship. In their hearts, Yang Wu was the greatest young legend in the Grand Xia in the past hundred years. His reputation surpassed the likes of Death War King, White-browed Eagle Emperor, and Yao Yanhai.
Yang Wu came down from the silver patterned tortoise and cupped his hands in front of Wu Sanhao, Qiao San Ye, Cao Jianda, and the others. "Sirs, I'm really sorry. Yang Wu is late."
"Haha, you're already giving us old men face by coming." Wu Sanhao laughed.
Qiao San Ye nodded and said, "That's right. Wangye Shaowu, you shouldn't have held this auction. You should have given some things to the dynasty."
Qiao San Ye had always been a patriotic and selfless person.
Cao Jianda said from the side, "Haha, Wangye Shaowu's contributions to the dynasty aren't enough. Prime Minister, we shouldn't ask for too much. "
Qiao San Ye stroked his beard and said, "I've gone too far. Let's go and see what the Wangye Shaowu has brought out for auction."
"Everyone, please." Yang Wu personally led the way for them.
Yang Wu looked at the people who were present. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he didn't see the person he was hoping for.
Just as they were about to enter the auction house, a voice suddenly sounded, "The Empress has arrived!"
This time, the entire place was in an uproar.
"Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress!" In an instant, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison.
The new Empress, Tang Xiaohan, sat on a dragon phoenix couch that was carried by eight people. She wore a dragon phoenix robe and a golden crown on her head. Her entire body emitted an aura of respect that made people unable to look directly at her.
On her left and right were King level guards, including Wan Lanxin. She was the vanguard and was also very eye-catching. She wore battle armor and rode a demonic leopard. Her beautiful eyes were sharp and piercing, making people not dare to look directly at her.
There were a total of 108 people in this group. Along the way, there were also hidden internal guards protecting them. Unrelated people were not allowed to easily approach them.
When Yang Wu saw Tang Xiaohan arrive, a trace of a smile appeared on his face. His heart was blooming with joy.
Before, Tang Xiaohan had rejected Yang Wu's invitation. Yang Wu was very upset, but now she had given him a pleasant surprise.
Yang Wu, Wu Sanhao, Qiao San Ye, Cao Jianda, and the other officials all went up to welcome her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming." Yang Wu said gratefully to Tang Xiaohan.
"Isn't there going to be an auction? What are you all doing here? This empress wants to see with her own eyes what good things are here. "Tang Xiaohan did not get off the bed and ignored Yang Wu. She looked at the other officials and said indifferently.
"Welcome, Your Majesty." Yang Wu sang out.
Thus, Tang Xiaohan was carried into the auction house by eight people. The others entered in order.
When they all entered, the people present could not help but discuss.
"Prince Shaowu is too amazing. He even managed to invite the empress. As expected of my idol."
"Isn't that right? Prince Shaowu is the number one legend of our Xia Kingdom. He and Her Majesty look like a golden couple. It would be great if they were together. "
"Not only does Prince Shaowu have amazing battle strength, he also has the ability to refine pills. I'm afraid he will leave us and go to the Transcendent Realm."
"What's the point of saying all this? It's too far away from us. Let's see if we can still buy tickets to enter."
…
Everything that happened before the auction fell into the eyes of those who were observant.
In the distance, there were people watching from the pavilion. They were all wearing cloaks, so their faces could not be seen clearly.
"I didn't expect the new empress to come. This is going to be interesting." One of them said.
"Pavilion Master, our people have already infiltrated the auction house. If they fight, I'm afraid even the new empress won't care." Another person said.
"That's even better. If we can get rid of the empress as well, the Xia Kingdom will definitely be in chaos. Our pavilion will then be able to take advantage of the situation."
"Pavilion Master is wise."
…
In another direction, there was a hidden group of people hiding among the commoners. No one noticed their existence.
After someone took the lead and gave out orders, they all turned into commoners and sneaked towards the auction house.
There were many people in this group, and some of them had reached the Earth Sea Realm. In the Royal City, there were not many forces that could mobilize such a group of people.
When these people surrounded the auction house, a person dressed in black sneered and said, "Hehe, this will become the most glorious auction in history."
Who knew that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
