Chapter 11201: Chapter 11200: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!

Although he thought highly of him, in the face of real benefits, King Chu would definitely not give in just because of this high opinion.

On the contrary, if the price was the same, he would be more willing to give it to someone else.

After all, the King of Zhao’s residence and his Chu royal residence could be considered rivals to a certain extent.

“What price is King Qin’s Residence prepared to offer?” King Chu asked after some thought.

“The rules of offering sacrifices to the heavens,” replied Chu Zhongyuan.

Lord Chu was stunned. Is that all?”

“No.” Chu Zhongyuan nodded.

Lord Chu was immediately flustered and exasperated. Are you taking us for fools?”

After he vented his anger, Lord Chu finally made the decision himself.” Since they are heartless, then don’t blame us for being unjust. Call all the buyers together and make an open bid. Whoever offers the highest price will get it. I don’t care if Lord Qin wants it or not!”

Fifteen minutes later.

Everyone gathered in the reception hall.

Other than Lin Yi and Zhao Wang, the other seven kings all sent representatives, as well as eight other powerful forces.

The Rules Design Institute was a juicy piece of meat. Any force with the slightest bit of ambition would not miss this opportunity.

King Chu entered the hall with Chu Zhongyuan, and his face turned black the moment he saw Lin Yi.

“Which blind dog let this in? You don’t have any rules at all. Are all the people raised by my Chu royal residence trash?”

“Someone, get this person out of here! He’s not welcome in the Chu royal residence!” King Chu pointed at Lin Yi’s nose in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at Lin Yi as if they were watching a good show.

“Chu King, Lin Yi came with me, are you trying to chase me away?” Zhao Wang said faintly.

Lord Chu’s expression changed.” King Zhao, when did you get involved with him?” This person is unlucky. Aren’t you afraid of being implicated by him?”

“Is that so?”

The King of Zhao smiled.” He has brought good luck to the King of Zhao Residence. Could it be that you, King Chu, have gotten into some bad luck and blamed it on someone else?”

Lord Chu replied with a sneer,”Your Prince Zhao’s mansion is already in such a state. Why are you still talking about good luck here?”

“What’s wrong with my Prince Zhao Residence?” The King of Zhao narrowed his eyes. Could it be worse than your Chu royal residence’s current situation?”

His words caused Lord Chu to choke to death.

The Prince of Zhao’s estate had indeed suffered a great loss, but at the same time, it had also taken the opportunity to slim down. All the power in the estate belonged to King Zhao alone.

As long as the King of Zhao could hold on, no one could interfere with the will of the King of Zhao’s residence.

On the other hand, the Chu royal residence would not be able to completely abandon King Qin’s residence and be independent. Just this obstacle was not easy to overcome.

King Chu choked for a moment, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to get anything out of King Zhao. He turned to Lin Yi again,” I think you have some backbone. Master has already kicked you out. You don’t have to stay here like a dog, do you?”

“Chu, you might have misunderstood. I’m here to do my job. I’m here to perform the cross-monitoring duties of the Safety Inspection Division. It has nothing to do with you, Chu.”

Everyone was stunned.

There was such a saying?

“If Chu wants me to leave, then I have enough reason to suspect that your Chu royal family is trying to corrupt Master Bai and interfere with the normal investigation of the Security Investigation Division.”

His words made Lord Chu speechless for a long time.

If it was any other time, he would have turned hostile on the spot. Who cares about the damn Safety Inspection Department?

But at this critical juncture, he really couldn’t do it.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lord Chu sat down on the main seat. He turned to Chu Zhongyuan and said,” Uncle, don’t bother about him. Let’s start.”

Everyone was speechless.

This current King of Chu was a muddle-headed person, but he was still the one who was flexible.

Chu Zhongyuan cleared his throat and said a few short opening remarks before he immediately got to the main topic.

” Since everyone is interested in the rules design institute of my Chu royal residence, then for the sake of fairness, let’s conduct a fair and just bidding in front of everyone.”

” The principle is very simple. After the bidding, the bid will be opened in public. The highest bidder will win.”

“I don’t think anyone will object to this suggestion, right?”

Everyone shook their heads.

If it could be carried out strictly according to the literal meaning, then at least in terms of procedures, it could indeed be considered fair and just.

This also meant that other than King Qin’s Mansion, which was a top-notch dukedom faction blessed by the heavens, all other factions had a chance as long as they were willing to bid.

Bai Shizu frowned.

The other party’s actions were clearly a counterattack to his previous threat.

Whether it was his private threats or the promise of King Qin’s Mansion’s endorsement, they were destined to be unpresentable in this situation.

This also meant that if he wanted to help King Qin’s Mansion take down the Rules Design Institute, he would have to add more bargaining chips in addition to the pseudo-core rules of the sacrificial rules!

Chu Zhongyuan didn’t give the crowd much time to think and quickly announced the start of the bidding.

Everyone present was smart. Although this kind of hidden game was extremely difficult, once they were given enough time, they would definitely be able to come up with the best strategy that was in line with their own interests.

If they really came to some sort of invisible consensus, the one who would really suffer would be the Chu royal residence.

Only by cutting the Gordian knot quickly and preventing everyone from thinking more could the benefits be maximized.

Chu Zhongyuan gave an order, and immediately, servants sent a special jade talisman to each representative.

The jade talisman was blank.

As long as they sent their divine senses into it, they would be able to leave a unique thought in it.

This will was the best proof. No one could forge it, and it would never disappear.

Everyone looked at each other with obvious vigilance on their faces. Then, they sent their divine senses into each other and left their bidding prices.

Fifteen minutes later, all the jade talismans were collected into Chu Zhongyuan’s hands.

After asking the King of Chu for instructions, Chu Zhongyuan opened the bid in public.

” King Qin’s Mansion, one rule of offering sacrifices to the heavens, three royal opportunities, and ten secret realms of rules.”

Everyone couldn’t help but discuss.

Strictly speaking, this price was not high, but it was not too low either.

There was no need to talk about the rules of worshipping the heavens.

The secret realms of laws had been bargained for by the various dukes a few days ago. In terms of absolute value, ten secret realms of laws were actually not much, but if one considered the benefits brought by the reconstruction of laws in the future, it was quite considerable.

The key lay in the opportunity of the royal power. This was a top-notch opportunity that could directly nurture a powerful royal power!

For a top-notch royal residence like the Chu royal residence, which was filled with talents, three opportunities for royalty were basically equivalent to three powerful royalty. It was enough to make any faction present envious.

Lord Chu curled his lips.

Was the Chu royal residence lacking a powerful royal power? What he lacked was the core rules that could consolidate the lifeline of the entire Imperial Residence!
