There were all kinds of rare treasures from various countries in the mainland hanging on the counter, from pearls as big as beans to huge ancient jade tables. As soon as Rick entered the door, he took a look at a crystal clear seven-story jade pagoda placed on the left corner of the counter. As soon as he saw it, he fell in love with it, so he immediately asked the clerk about its price.

The clerk raised two fingers and said, "Two thousand gold coins."

Rick couldn't think of it as cheap as he said, "How could it be so cheap?" He regretted it as soon as he said it. Who would think it was cheap for buying things? It clearly gave the other party a chance to blackmail him. This was not in line with his personality. Fortunately, the clerk was very honest and smiled and said, "Young master is an expert, so he dare not deceive him." He picked up the jade tower, "Although it was crystal clear and the jade was gentle, there was a failure on one side of the base." He pointed it at Rick It turns out that the jade tower is not full of colors. On the back that Rick can't see, there is a blood-red color that extends from the base to the first floor of the pagoda. The entire jade tower lost its light and its value naturally plummeted. The price of two thousand gold coins was already very high. Rick secretly complained that it was a pity, but the potential "prodigal businessman" in his heart prompted him to decide to buy it, because if the blood mark could be removed, the value of this jade tower would increase by more than ten times.

He was about to take over the jade tower in the clerk's hand, but suddenly Cheng Yaojin came out halfway. A white hand suddenly reached over and quickly grabbed the jade tower. At the same time, a crisp voice like a pearl falling from the jade plate said, "I want this jade tower." After that, a golden ticket was thrown from Rick's back. The golden ticket flickered in the air like a swimming fish, and it fell accurately into the clerk's hand. Rick was extremely angry. This was originally something he liked, but it was snatched away like this. This woman was so arrogant. He turned around and said angrily: "Do you understand the rules? That's what I bought."

The one who snatched Yuta was a girl with two thin braids hanging on her shoulders and looked extremely rosy on her face. She blinked her watery eyes, as if she was at a loss for Rick's questioning. Rick was not fooled by her "poor" appearance. He guessed that the other party must have earned many people's sympathy with this expression. Therefore, after seeing the girl's appearance, his face was still expressionless and he was going to be investigated seriously.

Seeing that this move was useless, the other party raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "It was clearly what I bought, but everyone saw it." After that, he raised the jade tower in his hand.

Rick sneered: "I don't believe that Sanbaozhai will do business like this-" The clerk saw that the two sides had to stand up and persuade him with kind words: "There are still many Xishiqi treasures in the store, why both of you hurt the little jade tower?"

Rick shook his head slightly and said, "This is not a question of harmony. But who this jade tower belongs to? I think there is always a person who comes first and then arrives in everything. Sanbaozhai will never be different from other families."

The clerk had no choice but to look at the girl with a begging gaze and said, "Ms. Jin, you can always choose something else. The little one promises to give you a 20% discount. It was indeed the young man who was interested in buying this jade tower first. The little one just forgot to tell you that you have a lot of adults, and the little one is here to accompany you."

The girl called Miss Jin probably didn't expect that the clerk would be secretly angry at a strange customer, but it was inconvenient to argue with the clerk. What made her feel disgusting was Rick who was standing aside and watching - looking confidently. The only thing that was originally a little anger turned into an insane anger when she saw Rick's expression. She stomped her feet angrily and threw the jade tower in her hand, but the jade tower did not fly in the direction of throwing it.

Xiang Ruike flew out of the store's door. The floor of Sanbaozhai was originally paved with bluestone. In order to prevent customers from accidentally dropping fragile things such as jade when playing with items, they specially laid a thick carpet on the bluestone. The girl obviously wanted to make Rick unable to get the jade tower, so she simply threw out Sanbaozhai. There was a street outside the store, and the streets were paved with bluestone. As long as the fragile things like jade tower fell to the ground, they would definitely be crushed.

The clerk did not expect that Miss Jin would do this, and Rick did not expect that she would be so rude. It was too late to rescue Yuta.

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly sounded outside the store: "Why should you mess with things like this?" The person who spoke was not someone else, but Yu Lu. It turned out that she had been following Rick invisible because she was afraid that Rick would have an accident if he only brought two servants out. Yu Lu walked into Sanbaozhai with the jade tower in her hand, smiled at Rick, and then handed over to Yu Tu. Miss Jin didn't expect that her unexpected killer move would backfire. She couldn't help but stomp her feet hatefully and didn't want the golden ticket to the clerk, so she ran out of Sanbaozhai with anger.

Rick got the jade tower and immediately paid the clerk two thousand gold coins. Before leaving, he asked the clerk about the origin of the Ms. Jin. It turned out that the Ms. Jin was the only daughter of Marquis Jin, the master of the family generals he met on the street last night. Fang's name was Jin Qi, and she was a very willful and willful lady.

"Golden Marquis!" Rick secretly said these three words repeatedly. The scene last night gave him a great revelation - the people who wanted to deal with the Permon family must be related to the Golden Marquis. Perhaps the Golden Marquis is just a pawn, and a more powerful and terrifying figure is still hidden behind him. But no matter what, while the other party's actions tried to attack him, they also exposed themselves unknowingly. The conspiracy is always a double-edged sword. If it cannot cut the enemy, it may cut himself.

As soon as Rick returned home, a servant came to report that a woman who claimed to be an "old acquaintance in Qingcheng" came to visit. Rick ordered her to take her to the living room, but she thought about the origin of this "old acquaintance in Qingcheng". Since she knew that she was in Duke Permon's mansion, she probably knew that Rick was the current Xia Hua, which was too dangerous. Giving people a handle would be threatened by others. However, avoiding it is not the best way. Rick did not want to use escape to solve the problem, so he finally decided to meet this woman who suddenly visited.

A woman who looks delicate and weak standing in the living room stood at the window, and she couldn't see the front, but from her figure, her temperament was particularly charming. She was wearing a well-fitting purple dress, her soft black hair was slightly raised by an exquisite purple hairband, and the tail end was naturally scattered on her shoulders. From a distance, she was like a orchid standing leisurely in the wind, reminding people of some beautiful words such as quietness and elegance. As soon as Rick saw her beautiful back, he couldn't help but sigh - what should come will come sooner or later.

"Young Master Ji is fine, oh! You should be called Count Xia Hua." The woman turned her head, and it was none other than Concubine Ji Xue, the leader of the Caiyun Mercenary Corps.

Rick said with a tough bullet: "Hello Miss Ji! What are you asking for me?"

"The Earl seems to be dissatisfied with me?" Ji Xuefei asked, staring at Rick with her abyss-like eyes.

Rick smiled awkwardly and said, "No! I just want to know earlier that Miss Ji has something to do to serve."

"If I say, I'm here to thank the Count for helping Caiyun Mercenary Group last time, do you believe it?"

Rick calmed down from the initial panic and said with a smile: "Miss is joking, let's talk about the last incident. What I am interested in now is how Miss Ji found it."

"The Earl is forgotten. I am the special envoy of the Blue Moon Empire, so I naturally keep in touch with the country. Besides, I tell you frankly that I am the captain of the Imperial Secret Love Team. I wonder if the Earl has ever heard of the Secret Love Team?"

Rick frowned and said, "It seems to have been used to spy on intelligence."

"Since it is used to spy on intelligence, it is naturally easy to find someone who is not very careful in protecting his identity."

"Say your request!"

"Do you think I'm going to blackmail?" Ji Xuefei looked at Rick with a strange look.

"Are you going to marry me?" Rick said with a bitter smile that was incomparable to saying this.

Concubine Ji Xue felt angry, strange and funny. She had never seen such a blind and arrogant person, but strangely, she was not angry. She didn't want to get stuck with Rick anymore, so she said with a righteous expression: "I'm here this time, representing Her Majesty the Queen."

"What?!" Rick felt as if a magic bullet exploded in his mind.

Regardless of whether Rick can accept it, Ji Xuefei continued: "Her Majesty the Queen already knows your identity, but she does not intend to punish you, why?"

As soon as he heard "no punishment", Rick looked sure and continued: "How did I know."

"Maybe you can see that the center of power of the empire has decayed, and too many worms have grown, making the building on the cornerstone shaking. The reason why Her Majesty the Queen does not blame you is, on the one hand, although it is helpless to pity the Pemon family for this move, but more importantly, the rise of the Pemon family and the reappearance of you, the Earl of Xiahua, is like throwing a small stone into a pool of turbulent waters in the open and unwavering waters. Although the stone is small, it breaks the inherent balance. Now, the water in the pond is not only surging in the dark, but also surging in the dark, which makes the Queen see some things that were not clear before. Therefore, your stone is already qualified to become His Majesty's chess piece."

"Your Majesty wants me to be her pioneer in the pathfinding?"

"good."

"Then I'm going to be merciless?"

"You have no choice."
