"Okay, then let's do as Master Xiao Fo said. Even if we have to spend all our wealth, we must buy these three things back!"

The old master's love for his younger brother could be said to be unconditional, so he immediately agreed with the young master's opinion.

"This...that's okay!"

Qi Tiezui had no other choice but to nod.

After all, if you lose this money, you can continue to earn it, but if the second master's girl is gone, then it's really gone.

At the same time, in the side hall, Peng Sanbian, who knew nothing about the auction, was completely immersed in the temptation of delicious food and continued to eat and drink leisurely.

After the first auction ended, the host made a brief statement and then continued the process.

"Okay, let's start the second round of auction. It's still the same old rules as before, starting at 2."

After saying that, she still knocked her gavel according to the rules.

After several rounds of bidding, the Japanese lit the second sky lantern.

"This...what on earth is going on with them? Are they planning to go against us?"

When Qi Tiezui saw the second sky lantern being lit, he couldn't help but become anxious.

They do have the financial resources to light the sky lantern one more time, but they probably won't have much money left after the second competition, which means it will be difficult to get the third treasure.

Qi Tiezui turned his gaze towards Zhang Qihai, with a look of asking for help.

"Keep going."

Zhang Qihai spoke without any hesitation.

Qi Tiezui turned his gaze to the old Buddha again, and the old Buddha nodded as well, and his meaning was very clear.

"Light the sky lantern."

Qi Tiezui had no choice but to give orders again.

"Mr. Zhang is indeed domineering!"

“This auction is well worth it, it’s so exciting!”

"..."

Some of the onlookers couldn't help but start discussing again. They were happy to see that someone was willing to continue fighting against the Japanese.

About three minutes later, the auction of the second treasure ended.

The host knocked his gavel and then spoke.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang Sanbin for winning the second sky lantern competition. It shows that Mr. Peng Sanbian really loves Miss Yin."

While presiding over the overall situation, the host did not forget to say some polite words to make Yin Xinyue happy.

At this time, several servants came to the Crescent Hotel and came to Zhang Qihai.

"We, Mr. Sanbian, are very sorry to inform you that your guarantee limit has reached the upper limit. If you do not increase the guarantee limit, you will lose the qualification for the next auction item."

The servant briefly explained what he wanted to say, and then looked at them apologetically.

"Okay, got it."

Although Zhang Qihai was a little flustered in his heart, his face was as calm as a dead sea.

"Ah."

The servant responded respectfully, then simply bowed and retreated.

"We have used up all our guarantee quotas. What should we do now?"

Qi Tiezui subconsciously turned his gaze towards Zhang Qihai again. He didn't know why, but he always felt that Little Buddha would always think of a solution when faced with any problem.

There was no expression on Zhang Qihai's face. After a moment of silence, he walked out of his seat, came to the railing, and spoke to the host below the stage.

"Host, we have some issues here and would like to suspend the auction for half an hour."

"it is good."

The host did not feel embarrassed. He agreed on the spot and then explained to everyone.

"Dear guests, Mr. Zhang is having some financial problems, so we need to postpone the auction for half an hour. Please take a break and we will continue the auction of the third item in half an hour."

After failing to win anything at two auctions in a row, the Japanese are beginning to lose their patience.

The person in charge of the Japanese side also came to the railing and shouted to Zhang Qihai.

"Mr. Huang Sanbian, I believe you are a respectable opponent, and I admire your behavior very much. However, adhering to the principle of wanting to make a friend, I advise you to give up the qualification to auction the last treasure. In this way, you can keep some assets and make a comeback."

Zhang Qihai glanced at the Japanese indifferently, as if he didn't take them seriously at all.

His shout not only called Zhang Qihai over, but also called out the descendant of the Qing Dynasty and some scattered people in the audience to watch the fun.

Chapter 47 Funding

"Sir, forgive me for being so presumptuous. I am only here to ask for medicine, but you deliberately lit two sky lanterns. I really don't see that you have any intention of making friends. Moreover, since I am willing to light the sky lanterns, I am naturally confident about my family background. As for making a comeback, you don't have to worry about it."

Seeing that he did not give him any face at all, the Japanese man's already gloomy face completely fell.

After a moment of silence, they continued, "I remember there is a saying in your country that a man who knows the current situation is a hero. I want to make friends with you out of kindness, but unfortunately you don't appreciate it. However, according to the morality of you Chinese, I'm afraid I don't need to do anything next. You will soon go bankrupt or even be finished."

Compared with his first sentence, these words were much harsher, and even had a hint of a fight to the bitter end.

As soon as these words were spoken, more people came to watch, but everyone's hatred for the Chinese people was engraved in their bones, so the looks they gave him were very unfriendly.

Zhang Qihai didn't seem to take his words to heart. He smiled contemptuously and then continued to look at the Japanese.

"Sir, don't think that you understand Chinese culture just because you came here and spoke a few Chinese words and ate a few Chinese meals. You probably don't know that we have a saying here: It's impolite not to reciprocate. You are targeting me like this. If I don't reciprocate, I will be sorry to the people of our country."

The contemptuous smile on his face became more and more obvious as he spoke, "To be honest, let alone a small person like me, Peng Sanbian, I'm afraid you may not be able to conquer anyone here."

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

The people in the audience and those nearby couldn't help but cheer when they saw Zhang Qihai had retorted against the Chinese perfectly.

The Japanese did not expect Zhang Qihai to be so eloquent. They were completely at a loss as to what to say and had to sit back angrily.

"My Lords, it may be nice of you to show off your skills, but our funds are about to run out. What should we do?"

Qi Tiezui's words brought both of them back to reality.

Zhang Qihai really has no wealth now, so he has to turn to the old lady for help again.

The old man looked at his half-brother and smiled helplessly yet dotingly.

"Qi Tiezui, call Lao Jiu now and ask him to help think of a solution."

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Qi Tiezui couldn't think of a better solution, so he had to follow the old lady's instructions and hurried downstairs to make a phone call.

When Master Xie Jiu learned about their situation, he couldn't help but sigh one after another.

"Alas! None of these people give me peace of mind. Every time they come to me, it's a lot of trouble. Not only does it take a lot of brainpower and energy, but it also costs money!"

Master Xie Jiu said helplessly. However, he couldn't just stand by and watch when his brother was in trouble.

He paced back and forth in the room, thinking about how to deal with the situation. Then he called the Japanese Embassy. After hanging up, he called his second uncle and checked how much money was in his account.

At the same time, the real Peng Shan Bian was still feasting in the side hall.

After Qi Tiezui finished the call, he was about to go upstairs when he was stopped by the twin sisters.

"Fortune teller, I didn't expect you guys are so good. You lit two sky lanterns in a row. You must be wealthy. How about you continue to light them?"

Qi Tiezui was surrounded for unknown reasons and looked at the two sisters in confusion.

The two sisters smiled at each other and said, "Your family is very affectionate towards Yin Xinyue, but I would like to kindly remind you that you are probably from other places and you don't know that Miss Yin Xinyue is a well-known tigress. You'd better be cautious."

"..."

Qi Tiezui was bewildered by being surrounded by them, and at the same time he was very worried about the current situation. He was still standing there with a confused look on his face.

"Hey, fortune teller, are you stupid? I heard that you had some financial problems. This is a little gift from us two sisters. Take it."

As the twin sisters spoke, they each took out a red envelope and put it in Qi Tiezui's hand, and at the same time, they kissed him on one cheek.

At this moment, Qi Tiezui's brain completely short-circuited.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and get going!"

Seeing that Qi Tiezui was so easily amused, the two sisters stopped making things difficult for him.

"Thank you, sisters!"

Qi Tiezui was very worried about the current situation, so he was not as eloquent as usual. He simply said thank you and ran upstairs.

As soon as he arrived in front of the two Buddhas, he spoke quickly.

"My dear lords, I have found a bank that can provide a guarantee, but no matter how much money we have, it will probably be a drop in the bucket. The Chinese are clearly well prepared. We have taken away the first two treasures. Even if we can light the third sky lantern, they will probably be determined to get it!"

Seeing that the two Buddhas ignored him, he continued to talk to himself.

"If you two really can't do it, let's think of other ways. This is my property. Although it's not as rich as yours, we are good brothers who have been through life and death together. Just take it first!"

As he spoke, he took out all his remaining money, except for a little money left for this month's daily expenses.

However, Qi Tiezui is, after all, just a man who makes money with his mouth, and the little property he has is just a drop in the bucket.

As for Mr. Jie Jiu, I'm afraid that half an hour may not be enough to wait for his money to arrive.

"hold on."

Zhang Qihai just spoke calmly.

At this time, a person dressed as a maid walked in holding a box.

"Gentlemen, this is what Lord Beile asked me to give you. Lord Beile said that money and other things are just personal possessions, so I hope you don't take them too seriously. Just use them with confidence."

When Zhang Qi heard this, he turned his gaze to the place where the descendants of the Qing Dynasty lived nearby.

As expected, Beile was looking at him with a smile on his face.

Zhang Qihai also nodded slightly at him to express his gratitude.

Then he stood up and threw the box of money to the host in the audience.
