I Conquer the World For My Duke

A cold smile rose on Bai Zheng's face. It was obvious who it was for. It was just that Bai Di was only sixteen years old, and had made her ten years younger.

"One thousand taels!" A well-maintained lady on the second floor raised her number plate.

Seeing the intense auction from the very beginning, Bai Zheng could not help but sigh. There were really a lot of rich people at the Great Zhou, she hoped that she could be one of them in the future.

"What happened to Miss Bai?"

Seeing her sigh, Feng Jingyi asked with concern.

"I just suddenly thought of the people who had been displaced in the disaster area of South Town. I feel sad for them." Bai Zheng replied with a sigh.

Feng Jingyi's eyes flashed, and after a long while, he said: "Miss Bai is kind."

While she was speaking, Auctioneer raised the gavel in her hand and shouted: "3000 taels going twice, 3000 taels going thrice, deal!"

When Auctioneer's voice fell, a pretty lady quickly walked over, took the wooden box containing the Face Setting Bead and walked towards the rich merchant who was offering a price of three thousand silver and sat on the second floor of the private room.

"Congratulations to Boss Li for obtaining the Face Setting Bead!" The Auctioneer announced loudly, "Next is our second item."

After the girl took away the Face Setting Pearl, the black stone platform descended. Following the Auctioneer's voice, it slowly rose up once again.

This time, on the stone platform, there was an object covered by a red velvet cloth.

Everyone sat up straight. The feeling of strangeness towards this treasure instantly replaced the feeling of loss they felt when they didn't get the Bead.

Auctioneer looked around, seeing that everyone's gaze was fixated on the red cloth, she lifted up the red cloth with both hands, revealing the treasure inside.

Bai Zheng looked carefully and realized that it was a zither.

The zither was entirely made of dark red cedar wood. The lower part of the zither was flat and had phoenix-like bone ornaments. The upper part was curved and protruded. There were carvings of clouds and birds.

"This is the Phoenix's zither of the previous Saint of the dynasty, Xu Dynasty. I believe that everyone should be familiar with the Phoenix's zither."

BOOM!

As soon as Auctioneer's words fell, all the distinguished guests in the auction hall burst into an uproar, completely disregarding their manners. Some people even jumped up in excitement.

Bai Zheng could clearly see that even his father Bai Yinan's beard was trembling from excitement.

"Phoenix Zither!" "This is the most caressing zither of the Xu Dynasty …" Feng Jingyi muttered, with an excitement that could not be hidden.

Bai Zheng asked curiously: "Why is this guqin so popular? "Is it ancient, or is it made of superior material?"

"Neither." Feng Jingyi shook his head: "Because it is a guqin that is caressed by Xu Chao."

Bai Zheng pursed her lips, it was actually because of the effect of idol.

"The second auction of Treasure-collecting Tower will start now, Phoenix Zither!" Auctioneer waved her hand.

"Five hundred liang!" Immediately, a voice rang out.

"Eight hundred liang!"

"One thousand taels!"

This time, the shouting was clearly more intense than when he had decided on the Face Pearl.

Bai Zheng squinted her eyes, this meant that in Great Zhou, there were still a lot of scholars, and there were even more wealthy scholars. Then her paper making technique would have a bright future.

Thinking about it here, her mood became better, and her eyes started to wander around the entire Treasure-collecting Tower auction one by one, suddenly stopping at the room that had not made a sound since the beginning of the auction.

Dingyuan? In Bai Zheng's mind, the half of her face that had just appeared was pale white, but she found it difficult to conceal her magnificent appearance.

There seemed to be an extremely faint medicinal fragrance coming from the man, or perhaps from that private room.

Bai Zheng felt that this smell was very familiar, but she could not recall where she had smelled the medicinal fragrance before.

"Five thousand!" Feng Jingyi suddenly raised his number plate, and signaled a servant by the side to shout.

The Treasure-collecting Tower fell into a momentary silence, but very quickly, a voice sounded from the third floor: "Five thousand and one hundred silver."

Feng Jingyi's face changed instantly.

Bai Zheng retracted her spirit, looked at Feng Jingyi, and then looked at the room where the voice came from, as if she had thought of something, and asked: "Is that Third Prince?"

Feng Jingyi nodded.

Bai Zheng comforted her while smiling: "Even though Fifth Prince may not be able to do as you wish, Bai Zheng feels that Third Prince would probably not be able to get the Phoenix Sound Zither today."

As if to verify Bai Zheng's words, following after, a voice came from the other side of the third floor: "Five thousand five hundred silver."

Feng Jingyi suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound in shock.

That's the crown prince!

Bai Zheng smiled. After all, she had just made it clear that the Chu Family was being plotted against by someone, and that someone wanted to dump Feng Jingye's filth, and that Feng Jingye was currently fuming at the top of his head.

I'm afraid that if Feng Jingxuan wants anything more, Feng Jingye will fight with him until the end.

The Treasure-collecting Tower quieted down once again. The price of 5000 taels of silver had already reached a high point. Many people could only sigh in admiration.

Even the Auctioneer below still did not make a sound.

The pretty girl walked forward once again and covered Feng Yin Qin with the red flannel. Only then did she walk up to the third floor with the zither in her hands.

After this event, Feng Jingyi had completely lost all interest in participating in the auction. He lowered his head to drink his tea, no longer paying any attention to the treasures that had just come out.

Bai Zheng watched the several matches with great interest, then her gaze uncontrollably stopped at the room that she had never participated in before.

Where exactly had he smelled that medicinal fragrance before? Was it from the many chemical experiments in his previous life, or were they memories that belonged to Bai Zheng? Or was this so-called familiarity just an illusion?

"What are you looking at?" Feng Jingyi suddenly walked to her side, and followed his gaze. Are you looking at Young Master Soong's room? "

Bai Zheng's heart jumped at the sudden voice, but her expression did not change, and only laughed: "Bai Zheng is weird, since this Young Master Soong has money, why are no one participating in these auctions?"

"Because he has seen too many good things, these ordinary treasures are nothing in his eyes." Feng Jingyi returned to his seat and replied indifferently.

"I see that not only the Young Master Soong, even the friend beside him has never participated in today's excitement. It's also because I've seen a lot of good things. Indeed, rich people all around them are rich people. " Bai Zheng lamented.

Feng Jingyi's gaze swept across Bai Zheng's face: "Miss Bai doesn't recognize Marquis Dingyuan?"

Bai Zheng said in realization, "Dingyuan? "In that case, your highness did indeed call that young master that way in the private room just now. However, that young master doesn't seem to have a very good physique."

Feng Jingyi nodded his head, his eyes flashed with an undetectable look of sorrow.

Bai Zheng sighed, "What a pity, this Marquis Dingyuan looks so young, but her body is already so weak."

Feng Jingyi lowered his head, the candle light casting a shadow on his face, making it hard for people to see his expression.

A piece of Sichuan muslin cut off the noise outside, and the room fell into silence, the only sound being the crackling of the candle wick.

Just when Bai Zheng thought that Feng Jingyi wouldn't speak, she heard his hoarse and obscure voice.

"I originally thought that everyone in Yongding City knew about him."
