Chapter 14: A Peerless Sword

Ahh

Jiang Zihao's face was a little embarrassed, and then he rubbed his nose, always feeling as if someone was scolding him just now?

Delusion?

Of course, he soon left it behind, because he had already seen the shadow of the mountain temple in the distance, and then saw the familiar figure, and immediately a perfect smile appeared on his face, and he hurried forward.

"Snow Girl!"

The Jiang family and the Tang family are distant relatives, and counting the generational relationship, Jiang Zihao can really be regarded as Tang Xiaoxue's distant cousin.

This time, he also recommended himself and personally escorted the Tang Mansion and his party to the mountain temple, the purpose is self-evident, and everyone who understands can see it.

Lick somebody's boots!

"I've met my cousin, it's been hard. ”

Tang Xiaoxue retracted her gaze faintly when she heard the voice, feeling that her heart was missing something, and then replied lightly.

Jiang Zihao didn't care, because Tang Xiaoxue in his impression should be like this, and he didn't pretend to anyone, especially men, and he was extremely cold.

If it weren't for the fact that his Jiang family and the Tang family were still related, let alone talking to him, it would be a blessing to look at him.

"It's not hard, it's all cousin I should do!"

Jiang Zihao felt a little flattered, even if Tang Xiaoxue's attitude was still lukewarm, it was enough in his eyes.

As everyone knows, over the years, Tang Xiaoxue's suitors, let alone let Tang Xiaoxue look at each other, they can't even meet once, how can they have a chance to perform.

It was also through the relationship between the two families that he was able to get close to the water and get the moon first.

Mountain Temple, the descendants of the Tang Mansion have long been prepared inside and out.

Jiang Zihao is also from a golden key, so it's okay for him to make a sycophant, but it is completely impossible to say that he does rough work by himself.

He pretended to look around, and after making sure that there was no danger, he returned to Tang Xiaoxue.

"Cousin, I've looked around and there are no problems. ”

He tried his best to show himself, but Tang Xiaoxue seemed to be absent-minded, so he smiled and had to leave alone.

Don't look at him relying on his status as a distant relative and getting close to the Tang Mansion, but the attitude of the Tang family towards Jiang Zihao is not very enthusiastic, nor is he indifferent.

has always maintained an attitude of imminent departure, of course, all because of Tang Xiaoxue, her thoughts are a scale for the change of attitude of the Tang family.

But soon, Jiang Zihao heard something from the mouths of those female guards under Tang Xiaoxue.

"Guest in the clouds!

Jiang Zihao was furious, he didn't expect Yun Zhongke to dare to ambush in this mountain temple, almost causing a catastrophe! There was a trace of killing intent in his eyes, but unfortunately he shook his head in the end, "Don't let me touch him, otherwise I will definitely take his head!"

After making a wish, Jiang Zihao was blocked outside the mountain temple.

The reason is simple, he is not from the Tang clan.

It's okay with him! He's an outsider!

...

Li Ye went all the way down the mountain and didn't look back.

Looking at that posture, there is definitely a momentum of impatience, in fact, he is indeed a little anxious.

"One day, no! Such a good opportunity must be seized, otherwise there will be no such shop in this village!"

What could make him so anxious?

There are still a few days left on the Tang Mansion's princess's birthday, even if Li Ye wants to find a way to flirt with her sister and become the son-in-law of the Tang clan, there is no need to do it now.

Otherwise, with such a good opportunity just now, he could have taken the opportunity to get closer to Tang Xiaoxue.

But he didn't!

The capital city of Wuzhou, with its vast land and abundant resources, is definitely the most prosperous place within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Speaking of the history of Wuzhou City, which can be traced back to thousands of years ago, it can be described as an ancient city with a long history, once as the capital of three dynasties, it has survived countless wars and is becoming more and more prosperous.

"Boss, do you accept good goods here?"

At the door of a pawn shop, Li Ye looked up at the signboard, auspicious.

When he entered the door, he put an object in his hand directly in front of the shopkeeper.

The thing was wrapped in layers of rags, but it was barely clear that it was a long sword wrapped inside.

"Collect, as long as it is a good product, there is nothing that we do not accept as auspicious as we wish. ”

The shopkeeper of the pawnshop didn't raise his eyelids, and replied in a lukewarm tone, looking at the account book with one hand, and crackling on the abacus with the other hand.

"And what is the price of this thing?"

"Blades?"

Finally, the shopkeeper finished the final account and looked up.

Only look at the goods, not the people.

"10 gold coins. ”

Black shop!

Li Ye felt that his heart was black enough, but he didn't expect this pawnshop shopkeeper to be even darker.

"Farewell!"

I didn't think about bargaining at all, Li Ye picked up the things and turned around and left, shaking his head as he walked, "I originally heard that Jixiang Ruyi Xing is a time-honored brand in Wuzhou City, and the price is fair and the vision is like a distance, but I didn't expect that meeting is not as famous as it is, which is a big disappointment." ”

After speaking, he was about to leave directly, but the auspicious shopkeeper didn't say anything, and a sneer appeared on his face.

There are many people who come to the pawn shop to exchange money these days, but it is rare to see one of the really good things all year round, and many of them are indiscriminate and want to take advantage.

Do you really think of them as charity?

"You're good to go. ”

A pawn shop guy on the side led Li Ye away with a smile.

They have seen a lot of such people, mysteriously holding something that they think is a treasure, and they want to ask for a price, but in the end, it is all broken copper and iron.

I don't know if it was intentional or deliberate, Li Ye just walked to the door and was about to go out, when he accidentally tripped on the threshold, stumbled under his feet, and didn't hold the thing in his hand steadily, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

What's even more coincidental is that the wrapped piece of cloth suddenly spreads out, revealing the true face of the contents inside.

It was indeed a sword, and it emitted a faint cold light, and at a glance it was not a blade that could be made in an ordinary blacksmith shop.

"Wait!"

The shopkeeper, who had just looked disinterested, suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked at the long sword scattered on the ground, revealing its true face, and a hint of surprise crossed his eyes.

"Oh, what does the shopkeeper have to teach you?"

Li Ye quietly picked up the thing, and then wrapped it in three layers inside and three layers outside, with a lukewarm attitude, just like the pawn shop person treated him just now.

"Childe wants to pawn this?"

"It was, but now I've changed my mind. ”

Without saying a word, Li Ye didn't give the other party room to negotiate, and left directly with his things.

Even though there was an eager hold behind him, he didn't look back.

Seeing Li Ye's resolute attitude, the shopkeeper immediately became anxious, and hurriedly chased him out of the room, "Son, slow down, just now the old man has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, slack, slack!"

What is the most important thing to open the door to do business?

Face?

Of course, the most important thing is to make money!

Jixiang Ruyi is a time-honored brand in Wuzhou Mansion, and there have been semicolons everywhere in Wuzhou Mansion for hundreds of years, and this one in front of him is the head office of Jixiang Ruyi, how could this shopkeeper let go of such a big business slipping away from his eyes?

"It's okay, anyway, in this Wuzhou City, the pawnshop is not only auspicious Ruyi, I remember that there is a pawnshop across the street, and it also collects good goods. ”

Across the street?

The shopkeeper's face was green, how could he not know who was across the street? That was Ji Xiang Ruyi's biggest rival, the Lin family's pawnshop!

The peers are enemies, and the two have been fighting openly and secretly for hundreds of years, and they have long been on the same footing.

There is almost an auspicious place, and there must be a semicolon of the Lin family's pawnshop not far away.

"Childe should know that in this industry, we are auspicious and ruyi are time-honored brands, and only we can afford the price. ”

"How much is the fixed price?"

Li Ye didn't talk nonsense with him at all, what he lacked now was money!

The dantian can't be repaired for the time being, so he must have gold to defend himself! Otherwise, his second goldfinger kryptonite system is equivalent to an ornament.

Before he hugged the thigh of the Tang clan, he had to do everything he could.

"100 gold, no! 300 gold!"

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, and wanted to press the price, but when he saw Li Ye's face, he immediately changed his words. Of course, there was a hint of heartache and hesitation on his face, as if this price was already his upper limit and could not be higher.

"Since the shopkeeper has no sincerity, then take his leave!"

Li Ye took the things and left.

300 gold?

Sending a meal away?

Are you kidding!

The sword in his hand was only worth 300 gold coins, and if he said it, it would be enough to become the laughing stock of countless people in Wuzhou Mansion.

The auspicious shopkeeper did not continue to stop him, and watched Li Ye leave, his eyes flickering.

If auspicious Ruyi is a time-honored brand in Wuzhou Mansion in the pawnshop, then the Lin family pawnshop is definitely a rising star, and it is menacing, and it has the taste of competing with auspicious Ruyi.

"Shopkeeper, if you have good goods, you can't accept them. ”

Li Ye stepped into the Lin family's pawnshop, with a similar style and a similar environment.

There was a middle-aged man inside, and after hearing this, he looked up at Li Ye, and his attitude was more enthusiastic, "Collect, if there are good things, our Lin family pawnshop is willing to collect them at a high price." ”

"Okay, so what's the price of this thing?"

Without saying a word, Li Ye put the sword in front of the other party and untied the rags outside.

"Good sword, good sword!"

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and the eyes of doing their job were absolutely vicious, and he knew that it was a good thing when he saw the blade that Li Ye took out!

"Childe is serious, are you going to be?"

"It only takes a few days, and in a few days I will come back to redeem it. ”

Li Ye showed a trace of heartache, like a swordsman who never left his sword, the pain in his eyes made people feel embarrassed, there must be some reason for it.

Why, you say?

Quite simply, he is short of money!

Plus, the sword wasn't his.

"500 gold!"

The shopkeeper of the Lin family's pawnshop hesitated for a moment, and directly offered the price, and a pair of hands still touched the sword body with love. Although he is not a martial artist, this kind of sword is definitely from the hands of a famous master.

Definitely worth a thousand dollars!

But he didn't break it.

"Auspicious Ruyi gave the price of three thousand gold coins. ”

Li Ye seemed to be smiling, and he came as soon as he opened his mouth, without even blinking his eyelids.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the expression of the shopkeeper of the Lin family's pawnshop changed, his breathing was slightly short, and his expression was a little entangled.

"This sword is not something that ordinary people can make, and the material used to create it is not ordinary pig iron, I think it is impossible not to see it with the eyes of the Lin family's pawnshop, but I didn't expect it to disappoint me. ”

"Wait! I didn't see it clearly just now, Childe, wait a minute!"

The shopkeeper of the Lin family's pawnshop immediately stepped forward, carefully inspected it again for a long time, and finally his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he muttered to himself, "Sure enough, it is refined into steel, this kind of forging technique is indeed from a famous artist, looking at the cold color must have added a little cold iron to the forging! But if you want to forge the sword body as thin as a cicada's wings, this kind of technique cannot be completed by craftsmen who have not been for decades!"

Damn, I'll just brag casually, are you really serious?

The more Li Ye listened, the more he felt that he had a golden mouth, and he could become like this with any bragging rights.

Of course, he is not stupid, he has also carefully checked things, it is definitely a good sword! Otherwise, he would not have come to the pawnshop to exchange money.

"Childe, this sword is a rare top grade in a hundred years, but it still needs to be checked more accurately, if it really joins the cold iron forging, our Lin family pawnshop is willing to pay 3500 gold coins!"

"How long will it take?"

"Soon, it's time for a cup of tea!"

The shopkeeper of the Lin family's pawnshop swore an oath, Li Ye nodded, and then he entered the inner room with his sword.

Li Ye is not worried that he will turn his face and not recognize people, this Lin family pawnshop has a big business, if he doesn't even have this credibility, it is impossible to compete with Jixiang Ruyi.

Pawnshop backyard.

Shopkeeper Lin's expression became a little surprised, his exaggerated opinion that sounded to Li Ye just now was actually not his intention, and even the result of his concealment after a lot of deliberation.

"Good sword, peerless sword, such treasures, someone would actually take them!"

"Shopkeeper, what should I do?

"Accept it! Of course you have to accept it! This kind of good sword is worth a small amount of ten thousand gold! That is, that kid outside is stupid, and he actually wants to be it!"

The guy was stunned when he heard this, Wan Jin? is simply priceless in his eyes.

"Go, take 3,500 gold coins from the bookkeeper. ”

...

Li Ye was not in a hurry, and sure enough, after a cup of tea, Shopkeeper Lin came out with a smile.

"Let Childe wait for a long time. ”

After the shopkeeper Lin finished speaking, he asked the guy on the side to take out a silver ticket of 3,500 gold coins, Li Ye glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction, this is a large-denomination silver ticket that is common in this world, after all, it is inconvenient to carry too many gold coins.

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

Both sides smiled with satisfaction.

But at this moment.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, a low cold drink came from outside the door, and then several figures were seen walking in one after another.

The person at the head was none other than the auspicious shopkeeper who had a relationship just now, and he saw a few big men behind him.

It's not good.

Seeing someone coming, Shopkeeper Lin's face changed, "What are you doing here?"

"Haha, Brother Lin, brother, I came all the way, I'm afraid that you will be deceived by the villain and lose your money. ”

"What do you mean?"

Shopkeeper Lin's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he became vigilant.

Seeing the two of them, Li Ye had to sigh, the sentence that people's hearts are sinister is really true, in fact, from the time the shopkeeper Lin left to the appearance of the auspicious person, he had already guessed what was going on.

Sure enough, before he could speak, the auspicious guy sneered at Li Ye, "Boy, after our auspicious things are in our auspicious wishes, you dare to continue to swagger and deceive? Who gave you such a big guts?"

"What do you mean?"

Shopkeeper Lin asked in a deep voice, and at the same time, the guy who was about to hand over the 3,500 gold coins to Li Ye immediately took back the silver ticket, and the action did not even pause.

"Brother Lin, this person has already given me the sword as auspicious Ruyi, but after he got the money, he took the sword away directly, and came to your side to cheat the money, if we hadn't found out earlier, Brother Lin would have been cheated out of a sum of money in vain." ”

"Is that true?!"

"It's true!"

Hiss!

Shopkeeper Lin gasped, and then looked back at Li Ye's eyes, which were no longer as kind as they had just now, and were extremely cold.

"Boy, I didn't expect you to be such a shameless villain behind your back!

"Come on, take the things away!"

As soon as the auspicious shopkeeper waved his hand, a big man stepped forward to take the sword away.

From beginning to end, Li Ye didn't make a sound.

At this moment, he finally clapped his hands, "Wonderful, really wonderful." ”

"Hmph, you're still hard-mouthed when you're dying!"

"Outside it is said that the Lin family pawnshop and Jixiang Ruyi are sworn enemies, but they have forgotten one thing. ”

Li Ye shook his head, "Businessmen pursue profits, and any grievances and contradictions in front of interests are just fart, Shopkeeper Lin, do you think what I said is right?"

Shopkeeper Lin kept his face calm and didn't say a word, obviously not interested in answering.

Fools can see that the Lin family's pawnshop and Ji Xiang Ruyi clearly want to bully others and swallow this good sword in Li Ye's hand!
