These three treasures! The Supreme Opal Bracelet, the Supreme Sapphire Pendant, and the Jipin Hongbaoshi Shou Chuan!
Sir, each one is worth at least fifty million!
Lao Jin was stunned, murmuring, "Since the last Bing Ge Chi Jie, I haven't seen such precious treasures!" He glanced at Jiang Han and cautiously asked, "Sir, will you be coming to me more often in the future?"
Eighty-five percent! I’m willing to give up some profit! I can swipe my card immediately to pay you. Last time at the auction for Bing Ge Chi Jie and the Blood Coral Tree, we made quite a bit of money. So this time, Lao Jin can process the card payment.
Jiang Han took out his Silver Card from his suit pocket and handed it to Lao Jin with a smile.
"Alright, sir! I’ll swipe the card now! In the future, if you have any treasures, remember me, Lao Jin."
Lao Jin respectfully accepted the Silver Card from Jiang Han's hand, grinning widely. He no longer referred to Jiang Han as a distinguished guest but as "sir."
The treasures Jiang Han brought had completely transformed his decades-long auction career; each piece was a significant treasure. The reputation of their auctions had echoed throughout the country; Jiang Han could be considered Lao Jin's benefactor.
"I need some items. Use your connections to help me order them!" Jiang Han made his request.
"No problem, sir! Whether you want long guns or short cannons, I’ll get them for you!"
Last time, the big shot who bought the Weapon and Token was a prince from a certain country! Now, our auction connections are top-notch—all thanks to you, sir.
Lao Jin patted his chest in assurance: "As long as you give the order, we guarantee it will be done! Even if it means robbing or killing, no problem!"
"That's a bit exaggerated!"
"I need a thousand Oil Saws—modified ones that can be used for cutting people. And another thousand Compound Bows, along with twenty thousand arrows. I want to pick them up tomorrow afternoon." Jiang Han stated his requirements and mentioned that the costs could be deducted from the auction proceeds of the treasures.
Now that there were five treasures, Lao Jin could estimate their auction price and would pay Jiang Han eighty-five percent of that amount upfront.
"A thousand Oil Saws and a thousand Compound Bows? That's not worth much!"
Lao Jin pondered for a moment before confidently stating: "Sir, we’ll give you these items at our auction without you spending a single cent."
Jiang Han was taken aback and looked at Lao Jin with a smile. "Really? That good?"
"That is for sure, sir. You've taken care of our auction for so long. If you want this little thing, we will definitely deliver it to you without fail! By tomorrow afternoon, you can come to our auction to pick up the goods, and we guarantee everything will be ready."
Lao Jin spoke confidently, completing the payment and handing the Silver Card to Jiang Han.
Jiang Han accepted the Silver Card, thinking that he didn't need to attend the auction in person, which left him free to handle other matters.
Quickly, after leaving the auction house, Jiang Han made his way outside the city. He quietly entered the capital and sought out Yan Dong, instructing him to arrange a meeting with Su Qianxue outside the city.
In the late hours of the night, Su Qianxue arrived at the outskirts of the capital, accompanied by a few guards.
"Jiang Han, you called for me in the middle of the night. Is there something urgent?" Su Qianxue asked.
"Did you see Hongfu Temple down there?" Jiang Han asked with a smile.
"I did," Su Qianxue nodded.
Jiang Han leaned closer and whispered for a while. Su Qianxue's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Jiang Han. "If that's the case, very well! I will do my utmost to complete this task!"
"Great! Then tomorrow night, I will trouble Miss Su," Jiang Han replied lightly as he prepared to leave.
"Langya Wangfu, Jiu Gong! I'll be waiting for you tomorrow night," he added. "As for Ling Xue, you will no longer be trusted by Langya Prince. Given his temperament, things could get quite dire for you."
With everything arranged, Jiang Han returned to the auction house for the night. Lao Jin had organized a series of feasts and entertainment to lavishly host Jiang Han.
Outside the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the next afternoon, Jiu Gong led Mu Jinkun and the Twelve Celestial Maidens along with over a hundred skilled fighters who had infiltrated near Hongfu Temple.
Che Chengyun from Langya Wangfu commanded two hundred elite soldiers armed with weapons and secretly left the city disguised as bandits to come here.
"Your Highness! We have arrived!" Che Chengyun called out as he joined Jiu Gong's group.
Mu Jinkun, also dressed in dark clothing, fixed his gaze intently on Hongfu Temple.
"Jiang Han! Tonight is your end!" Mu Jinkun thought fiercely, eager to rush in and capture Jiang Han right then and there.
Jiu Gong gazed at Hongfu Temple, feeling a sense of normalcy that left her puzzled. The situation did not seem to indicate a significant flow of supplies.
"Your Highness, it is very likely that the supplies have come through but are hidden within Hongfu Temple," someone suggested.
"Shall we wait until nightfall?" Che Chengyun reminded her.
After contemplating for a moment, Jiu Gong decided to wait until evening. If there were any issues at Hongfu Temple during the night, they would charge in immediately.
She noticed Mu Jinkun gripping his knife tightly and felt the need to reassure him. "Mu Jinkun, don't worry. Tonight, you will have your chance for revenge."
"Just be patient, Mu Jinkun! Wait a little longer!"
"Your Highness, I can hardly contain my thirst for blood!" Mu Jinkun exclaimed, his frustration evident. "I am ready to strike Jiang Han at any moment! I want to make him suffer!"
Jiu Gong shot him an exasperated glance before ordering everyone to hide. "Quickly! The sun is setting. Both teams should put on their night gear and disguise themselves as bandits."
As time passed into the deep of night, they still had not seen Cen Ya or Ling Xue approach, nor did they notice anything unusual at Hongfu Temple, and Jiang Han was nowhere to be found. Everyone was growing increasingly anxious.
Suddenly, Mu Jinkun's keen eyes spotted some carts delivering Compressed Biscuits into Hongfu Temple.
He shouted, "Those supplies are likely being transported underground from beneath the temple!"
"This is our chance! Charge out and confront the mysterious forces! Capture Jiang Han!" Jiu Gong commanded.
Over a hundred skilled fighters from Xia Kingdom surged down the mountain under the leadership of twelve Ten Celestial Maidens.
With his face covered and holding a long knife, Mu Jinkun led the charge toward the monastery entrance. With two swift strikes, he killed the two young monks guarding the door.
He burst into the monastery and saw monks of all sizes in chaos. He bellowed, "Capture Jiang Han! Kill these bald heads!"
"Find those mysterious forces!"
"Attack! Attack!"
The hundred skilled fighters echoed his commands as they brandished their long knives and stormed into the temple, ready to unleash a massacre.
