Beauty and the Bodyguard

 In the final analysis, the Qin Palace’s overweighting was not sincere.

 In other words, the Prince of Qin’s Mansion simply did not hope that the Prince of Chu’s Mansion could survive this hurdle.

 After all, in that case, the Chu Palace would have no choice but to accept its fate and become a vassal of the Qin Palace from now on.

 Chu Zhongyuan continued to open bids.

“The Li family of Fengtian Prefecture has one rule for giving birth to a child, and there are a hundred high-class secret realms.”

 The scene was suddenly filled with discussion again.

 The scale of the rules for sending children is a bit higher than the rules for offering sacrifices to heaven, and has reached the threshold of core rules.

For this reason alone, the competitiveness of this bidding is much stronger than that of Prince Qin’s Mansion!

 There was no joy at all on King Chu's face.

Even if the rule of giving away children can barely be regarded as a core rule, compared with the previous core rules of the Chu Palace, it is still far behind. The key point is that the upper limit of this rule is very limited. No matter how much it is developed, it is not enough to support a top-level palace. Facade.

“Prince Wei’s Mansion, five general rules, a secret realm of the Wine King, and a superior spiritual infant.”

 The King of Chu became interested now.

 The Secret Realm of the Wine King and the Superior Spiritual Infant were both rare and good things, but what really caught his eye were the five ordinary rules.

Before the great catastrophe of rules, let alone five ordinary rules, even ten or twenty rules, together, would be far less than one rule for sending children!

 But this time and that time.

 Even if the benefits of these five ordinary rules are still far from being comparable to the rules of giving away children, when it comes to development prospects, these five ordinary rules are far beyond it.

After all, everything is being done now. Even the most inconspicuous ordinary rules, as long as they survive, will have an absolute first-mover advantage compared to those rules in the subsequent reconstruction plan.

Especially in the hands of a top vassal force like the Prince of Chu, with all kinds of top resources, it is not an unimaginable thing to one day grow into a core rule.

 Just, it’s not enough.

As Chu Zhongyuan opened the bids in public, the prices given by each house were made public one after another.

There are many high-quality prices like Wei Wangfu that can arouse the interest of the King of Chu, but they have never been able to really widen the gap.

 The most important thing is that the King of Chu himself cannot be completely convinced.

 Until we come to the last house.

“Prince Zhao’s Mansion and Lin Yi cooperated in bidding.”

Chu Zhongyuan glanced at Lin Yi subconsciously.

The King of Chu curled his lips disdainfully: "A poor thing like this can give a ridiculous price and come out with something embarrassing."

 The next second, Chu Zhongyuan announced: "Twenty ordinary rules."

 The disdain on King Chu's face suddenly solidified.

“Twenty common rules? Where did the twenty common rules come from?”

 The whole audience went crazy instantly.

  During the catastrophe of rules, there were indeed some scattered rule survivors left behind, but the number of these rules was definitely not large, and at most it would not be more than the core rules protected by the Hundred Sons Project.

 Even if we add them all together, there are only a few dozen at best.

With the powerful strength of the Wei Palace, the limit is to be able to collect five ordinary rules.

 In other palaces, even if it was possible to collect more, they would only be able to collect two or three more at best.

 Twenty general rules?

  It’s just nonsense!

 Some people couldn't help but question in public: "Is King Zhao joking?"

The king of Chu could not help but become suspicious. Prince Zhao's palace has just suffered a drastic change. At this time, he suddenly said that he would come up with twenty ordinary rules. The credibility is really not high.

 King Zhao glanced at the man lightly, and the invisible aura immediately oppressed the man so that he could not breathe. He pinched his throat tightly, and his face turned purple.

Until King Zhao looked away, the man finally calmed down. He was frightened and frightened, and he no longer dared to have the slightest eye contact with King Zhao.

 King Zhao then looked at the audience and said in a majestic tone: "I never joke, and neither does Lin Yi."

Lin Yi: “…”

He wanted to say that he still made jokes sometimes, but in the current atmosphere, if he jumped out to correct King Zhao, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Chu Zhongyuan and King Chu looked at each other, and immediately suppressed their excitement and announced directly: "I declare that this public bidding will be won by Prince Zhao's Mansion and Lin Yi!"

Although King Chu didn't like Lin Yi, at this moment, he still wisely chose to shut up.

 After all, those are twenty general rules!

Once the business is well managed, the Chu Palace will not only be able to survive the current period, but will even be able to surpass its previous peak period.

Others wanted to object, but they couldn't.

 There is no way, the price gap between each other is too big.

At this time, if anyone stands up and says that his price is higher, he will be despised by everyone, because this will make everyone in the room look like fools.

Bai Shizu stood up suddenly: "Wait a minute!"

Chu Zhongyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he retorted in a calm voice: "Master Bai, don't you think that the price offered by your Qin Prince's Mansion is higher than the twenty ordinary rules?"

The King of Chu sneered and said: "For the sake of our alliance, it's best to keep your mouth shut, so that I can still save you some dignity."

“Of course, if you don’t want to be dignified yourself, I can also help you look decent.”

"This little thing is not difficult for me."

As he spoke, a wild and arrogant aura emerged from his body, and he spontaneously locked onto Bai Shizu.

 Everyone was shocked.

Although Bai Shizu is one of the top figures in the new generation, there is still a qualitative gap compared with the top veteran powerhouses like King Chu.

If King Chu really takes action, Bai Shizu will basically not be able to resist at all.

 King Zhao watched this scene with great interest.

If the King of Chu really fell out with the Prince of Qin, he would be happy to see it happen.

In fact, he took the initiative to bid with twenty ordinary rules this time. On the one hand, it was to make an investment in Lin Yi, and on the other hand, it was also to disrupt the Qin Palace's annexation of the Chu Palace.

The Prince of Qin’s Palace is already powerful. Once it completely swallows the entire Prince of Chu’s Palace, even if other palaces join forces, they may not be its opponents.

 In order for the Chu Palace to withstand the Qin Palace, it must be given enough confidence.

 Twenty general rules are the foundation of the Chu Palace.

However, Bai Shizu was unhurried: "Twenty ordinary rules are indeed generous, but what I want to say is that Chu Zhongyuan is suspected of being an undercover agent of the gods. According to the rules of the Security Review Department, before his matter is settled, , all large transactions in your Chu Palace must be frozen."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

 Chu Zhongyuan is an undercover agent of the gods?

Once this word gets out, it will definitely be explosive news that will shock the entire inner court!

 Once seated, everyone present will feel terrified.

After all, people at the level of Chu Zhongyuan are undercover agents of the gods. How can the inner court be penetrated by the gods?

 It’s simply unimaginable. (End of chapter)
