The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King

Chapter 58: Lu Nongxiao


But when Li Dabao raised the price to two million, no one else bid against him!

"Two million, going once! Two million, going twice! Two million, going thrice! Sold! Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the Han Dynasty treasure jade!" The auctioneer held the gavel and confirmed the deal with a decisive strike!

Although a little pained by the two million, Li Dabao comforted himself, telling himself that spending two million on a treasure imbued with dragon energy was much more worthwhile than spending two million on a fine.

With this thought, Li Dabao hastily tidied his hairstyle, held his mistress's hand, and walked up to the auction stage.

Since it was a formal auction, there was no need to pay in cash. Li Dabao simply swiped his bank card and took the Han Dynasty anal plug handed over by the auctioneer.

"Auctioneer, is this really the Han Dynasty Emperor's jade chopsticks? Why are they so short?" Li Dabao held the two Han Dynasty anal plugs in front of his eyes to measure them.

The auctioneer didn't know what the items were either, so he ingratiatingly went along with Li Dabao's words, saying, "That's right, these are the Emperor's jade chopsticks! As for why they're a bit short, it's probably because the Emperor had small hands!"

"Oh! Small hands! Yes, yes, people with small hands can keep wealth. Looks like this Emperor was a good one at guarding his fortune, hahaha!"

Li Dabao was even happier when he heard the auctioneer say the Emperor had small hands.

"What a treasure! I'll use these chopsticks for my meals from now on! Haha!"

Having said that, Li Dabao actually took the two Han Dynasty anal plugs and stuffed them into his mouth like chopsticks.

He smacked his lips, licked them, found the taste a bit strange, and quickly took out the two Han Dynasty anal plugs, saying, "The workmanship on these jade chopsticks is pretty good, but why do they have a weird taste!"

"Oh... that taste must be the dragon energy!" the auctioneer forcefully explained.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad, dragon energy is good! I need dragon energy!"

Saying this, Li Dabao again licked the two Han Dynasty anal plugs more vigorously and even had his mistress lick them, letting her absorb some "dragon energy" too!

Li Dabao's mistress hesitated for a moment but eventually took the Han Dynasty anal plug and gave it a lick or two.

Soon after, the two wrapped up the Han Dynasty anal plugs and left the antique market under envious gazes.

"Luo Chao, you're so wicked, pulling such a disgusting prank!" After the two walked away, Miao Shiyun whispered into Luo Chao's ear.

Luo Chao smirked and said, "Heh heh, since you've caught on, I'll tell you, that fat guy was boasting in front of me this morning about wanting to keep our CEO Lin. Do you think I wouldn't get angry!"

Upon hearing this, Miao Shiyun's face suddenly turned stern, "What if it were me? Would you get angry?"

"Uh... if it were you, I'd say, thank you, big brother, my sister here is 27 and still hasn't gotten married!" Luo Chao joked with a chuckle.

"Hmm! Scoundrel Luo Chao!" Miao Shiyun huffed and turned her head, she hated it when others brought up her age.

Just then, the auctioneer's voice sounded again, "The bidding just now was very intense, but it also showed me your enthusiasm!"

"Next up is the final item in this auction, which can be considered the show-stopper of today's event: a bottle of well-preserved Tang Dynasty Wine from the prosperous era!"

The auctioneer's words caused the whole room to be astonished!

Tang Dynasty Wine from the prosperous era? How many years has that been preserved until now?

I'm afraid that wine would have solidified by now!

Moreover, such ancient brewed wine, preserved until today, always fetches sky-high prices in international auctions!

"So, for those interested in this bottle of wine, please start bidding! The starting price for this bottle of wine is five million Huaxia Coins!"

After saying this, the auctioneer picked up his gavel and stepped to the side.

This time, however, he lit a cigarette and leaned leisurely against a pillar.

The auctioneer was fully aware that although the wealthy patrons who loved collecting antiques present today had money, they absolutely wouldn't be willing to spend five million on a bottle of Tang Dynasty Wine they couldn't drink!

This was evident from the previous Han Dynasty anal plug, where the price increase dwindled significantly after reaching one million.

If it hadn't been for Luo Chao's goading and the coincidence of Li Dabao really wanting it, the Han Dynasty anal plug wouldn't have sold for two million!

Sure enough, when the auctioneer announced the starting price of five million, although the room was abuzz with chatter and people were taking out their phones to snap pictures and post the Tang Dynasty Wine on social media, no one was willing to bid.

However, Luo Chao's gaze remained fixed on that bottle of wine.

What Luo Chao had his eyes on wasn't the wine itself, but the jade wine bottle used to contain it!

From the moment the auctioneer took out the bottle, Luo Chao felt a strange energy emanating from the milky white body of the wine bottle!

In other words, the fact that this wine brewed over 1,300 years ago from the prime of the Tang Dynasty could be so well-preserved likely had something to do with the peculiar energy on that jade wine bottle!

But, this five million price...

Zhou Delong and Miao Shiyun, seeing Luo Chao, who remained so composed in front of various antiques earlier, now suddenly looking extremely serious when they caught sight of the bottle of wine, exchanged glances.

After a moment, Zhou Delong took the initiative to ask, "Luo Chao, my friend, could it be that you've set your sights on this bottle of Tang Dynasty Wine?"

On Zhou Delong's inquiry, Luo Chao nodded, "That's right, from the moment I saw the engravings on that wine bottle, I knew this bottle has a significant backstory!"

"Significant backstory? What's so significant about it?" Miao Shiyun, standing beside, had her curiosity piqued by Luo Chao's few words.

Luo Chao, without turning his head, kept his eyes fixed on the wine on the auction stage, seriously explained, "Emperor Tang Xuanzong, in order to win over Yang Guifei, would always dispatch someone to fetch fresh dew-laden lychees from Sichuan province during the lychee season!"

"And when Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei tasted lychees in the court, he would pair them with a certain wine for toasting. This wine was declared a court wine by Tang Xuanzong, made from morning dew on high mountains, producing a wine that was aromatic, rich but not overpowering, vibrant but not garish!"

"Li Bai wrote in one of his Qingping Diao poems, 'The clouds long for clothing and flowers long for beauty, the spring breeze brushes the railings and the dewdrops are rich!' He connected Yang Guifei's fairy-like beauty and her famous alluring glance. Since then, this wine, offered as tribute to the court, became known as Lu Nong Xiao! And the wine on the auction stage now, is the legendary Tang Dynasty Wine - Lu Nong Xiao!"

"This... Is this wine really the legendary wine, Lu Nong Xiao?!" Zhou Delong exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Delong was extremely fond of gourmet food, and as a perfect companion to delicacies, top-quality wine was naturally also one of his passions!

Luo Chao's expression turned grave, "Indeed, it's likely the auction house doesn't know what they're dealing with, thinking it's just an ordinary Tang Dynasty Wine. If they knew this is the legendary Tang Dynasty Wine Lu Nong Xiao, it wouldn't fetch anything less than a hundred million!
