The crowd went into an uproar. Everyone knew that the best treasures in the pavilion were not cheap, but the starting price of 18,000 taels of silver still surprised them. In the past, the most expensive price was only 15000 taels of silver.

"Wind Queen Eight Arrays Military Art Diagram" Was it really that magical?

Even though they were skeptical, it did not stop them from bidding. At least half of the people present had a blind faith in the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Soon, the price reached 22,000 taels. The one who called out this price was Mu Qianxue, and her ten fingers were tightly entwined, completely unaware that her knuckles were white; this was the highest price that she could call out, and she hoped that no one else would raise it, or else …

Unfortunately, the Heavens had not fulfilled Mu Qianxue's wish. In just a short moment, a clear male voice came from the left, "Twenty three thousand gold!"

Mu Qianxue's face suddenly paled. In the end … There was still someone who raised the bid!

Xia Yue's forehead was covered in sweat as she kept looking at the entrance. "If King Mu didn't bring the silver over, the military strategy map would have been taken by someone else!"

"Is there anyone else who bids more than 23,000 taels?" When the middle-aged man's voice fell into Mu Qianxue's ears, it sounded like a talisman of death.

"Are we really unable to continue bidding?" Nineteen asked Bai Fu with an ugly expression.

Bai Fu helplessly said, "I can't. Otherwise, not only will I lose my right to auction, I won't even be able to take back the banknotes I gave them for safekeeping."

Xia Yue kept looking at the entrance and anxiously said, "This King Rui is already burning his eyebrows. Why hasn't he delivered the silver yet? Does he really think that the military strategy map will fall into someone else's hands?"

While he was talking, he called for a few more rounds. Now it was twenty-seven thousand silver taels. The highest bidder was still the customer at table seven.

The middle-aged man on the stage shouted out twice and then said with a smile, "If no one bids more than twenty-seven thousand silver taels, this map will belong to guest number seven."

Just as the middle-aged man was about to smash the hammer down, a Myriad Treasures Pavilion maid walked up to Mu Qianxue and whispered into her ear. The latter's eyes lit up and she rushed to the front of the hammer and shouted, "Twenty-eight thousand taels!"

Nineteen was startled, and then immediately understood. "Princess, is it that Prince has arrived?"

After Mu Qianxue nodded, Xia Yue let out a sigh of relief. She rubbed her still jumping chest and said, "We're finally here. If we were even a little bit later, it would have been useless even if we managed to raise the money." Before she finished his sentence, the clear voice that had already called out several times once again rang out, and the price was raised to 29,000 taels of silver.

Xia Yue's relaxed brows tightened as she angrily said: "How long does this person want to compete with us? If this goes on, thirty thousand taels won't be enough."

Mu Qianxue said with a smile, "King Rui sent a total of thirty thousand taels. Including the ones we had before, it's a total of fifty-two thousand taels. That should be enough."

"Thirty thousand taels?" Xia Yue immediately said, "When did King Rui become so rich?" One had to know that Dongfang Qing had given him thirty-seven thousand silver taels in total, and that was more than double what Dongfang Ze had brought nineteen years ago.

Nineteen was full of doubts. She had followed Dongfang Shimeng for a few years, and knew his situation very well. Even if she sold all the things in the storehouse, it wouldn't be worth thirty thousand silver taels.

"Prince …" Mu Qianxue's eyelashes drooped slightly as she cast a crescent moon of raven green on her cheeks. "It should be to mortgage all of the manor's lands."

Ah!" Xia Yue exclaimed lightly, "If we can't redeem it back then, wouldn't it be a great loss?

Mu Qianxue raised her head and stared at the battle strategy diagram on the stage. She slowly said, "Your highness knew the importance of this item, so I went all out. You must not fall into the hands of others. " As she spoke, she glanced at table number 7 from the corner of his eyes. There was a trace of worry in his eyes.

Noticing her gaze, Nineteen said coldly, "Princess, don't worry. Other than us, don't even think about taking the battle strategy diagram away from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion!" If it wasn't for the fact that they were afraid of too much commotion, they would have already snatched away the military strategy map. There was no need to go all out to bid for it like this; no matter how strong the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was, it still wouldn't have been stronger than the entire Shen Ji Camp.

"Thirty thousand!"

"Thirty-one thousand gold!"

"Forty-five thousand!"

"Forty-seven thousand gold!"

The other guests had all given up on bidding and watched with interest as the two fought over the items. This price had already exceeded the highest price in the entire history of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, and it seemed that it hadn't reached its end yet.

After calling out fifty thousand silver taels, Mu Qianxue's palms were full of sticky, cold sweat. She didn't know where this guest at table seven came from, but he actually called out her price all the way and wasn't willing to give her anything. The remaining silver in her hands was only enough to call out for another round, so if he still wasn't willing to stop when the time came, then …

It seemed that it was unable to bear the increasing price. Just when everyone thought that this time, the final treasure of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion would fall out of Mu Qianxue's table, table number seven called out a shocking price — — "Sixty thousand!"

Everyone looked in the direction of table seven, wondering who the guest at the table was, to actually use sixty thousand taels of silver to make a book with only a few pages of paper. Not to mention a wealthy family, even a noble family would find it hard to make such a bid; not to mention his last bid increase to ten thousand taels.

Mu Qianxue's face was deathly pale as she tightly gripped the armrest. Sixty thousand taels …

Xia Yue was anxious, "Princess, what do we do now? Can you... Can you discuss with Myriad Treasures Pavilion about giving us the military strategy map? "

Bai Fu shook his head. "It's no use. The Myriad Treasures Pavilion has never recognized anyone. Without money, even if the Heavenly Emperor himself came, it would be of no use."

"How would I know without trying? Maybe …" Would they be willing to give the prince face? It's better than watching others take the Military Strategy Book away. " Actually Xia Yue also knew that this hope was extremely slim, but no matter what, she had to give it a try.

Bai Fu could not help but sigh. Originally, fifty thousand taels of silver was enough for him. However, he had made a killing in the end and ruined this matter. It was such a pity that the princess, her master and King Rui had wasted so much effort.

"This servant will go and tell them now!"

"It's useless." Mu Qianxue called Xia Yue, who was about to leave, and said in a low voice, "It's just as Steward Bai said. The Myriad Treasures Pavilion will definitely not break their own rules."

Xia Yue said unwillingly: "Then let him take it?"

"Bang!" The gavel that had hung in the air for a long time finally came down and heavily struck the table. The middle-aged man said with a face full of smiles: "Congratulations to the guest at table number 7 for winning today's top treasure of the Japanese pavilion - the < Eight Arrays Soldiers Atlas >!"
