There are many children of wealthy families who came to the black market to buy weapons today, and they met three in just a quarter of an hour, Liang Wu, as one of the main heirs of the Liang family, has the obligation to maintain a good relationship with them, so there is a lot of nonsense, and everyone who meets them has to chat for a long time.

Guo Song was so annoyed that he simply wandered around the market alone.

After walking for a while, he found that someone was sneaking behind him, and walked to a mirror shop, Guo Song glanced into the bronze mirror, and saw the face of the stalker, who was also a Sogdian, and had seen this person in Li Ande's shop.

Guo Song sneered, he knew that Li Ande would not give up, and would definitely do everything possible to find his own ironwood sword, he wanted to see what means Li Ande used in the end?

There are more than 20 stalls on the left, selling all foreign goods.

Guo Song was a little interested, so he walked over.

The owners of the shops were almost all Sogdians, and they sold a wide variety of goods, and a fine Persian wool carpet was priced at fifty yuan, and when it came to bargaining, he should be able to win forty yuan, but unfortunately he did not need it.

At this time, Guo Song stopped at a stall selling gemstones, and Guo Song's greatest hobby in his previous life was collecting all kinds of stones, and this hobby continued to be brought to the Tang Dynasty.

The stalls are filled with low-grade gemstones, ruby sapphires from Bukhara and Samarkand, turquoise and lapis lazuli from Persia, topaz and chalcedony from Tocharo, and all sorts of unnamed gemstones.

Although the quantity is large, the quality is very bad, just like picking the leftover from the mine and selling it by catty.

Guo Song's eyesight is outstanding, he found an unusually pure high-grade turquoise from a large pile of turquoise, held it in the palm of his hand and looked at it, the shape was oval, the size of a jujube, so green that his eyes were intoxicated.

"How much does this turquoise cost?"

Guo Song regretted it after asking, and the price was clearly written on the wooden sign next to him, each Baiwen, this question was eventful.

The stall owner, who was also a thin middle-aged Sogdian, immediately snapped up and said: "This one is different from the others, I accidentally fell into it, and I want to pay for it." ”

"Shopkeeper, you are embarrassed to make a price, if I don't ask you, I will take a hundred yuan!"

The stall owner was also a little embarrassed, and said, "If you don't buy another expensive gem, this high-grade turquoise will be given to you." ”

"How expensive are you going to buy gemstones?"

The stall owner took out a box, "These are three high-grade emeralds from Tianzhu, each of which costs ten yuan, you can buy one of them, and the turquoise will be the head." ”

"The shopkeeper is very good!"

Guo Song said angrily: "Send a hundred dollars turquoise, but I lost the opportunity to bargain, I don't want this turquoise, and sell me an emerald for five dollars." ”

Guo Song said no, but he clutched the turquoise tightly, he really liked this turquoise, and he didn't want to return it to the shopkeeper.

The stall owner saw Guo Song's reluctance, and said with a smile: "This turquoise is better than the top grade, it can be called the best, I have to sell it for at least three times, but it is true that I look away, I am not bad at it, I still give it to you, but the emeralds are at least eight dollars, I am equivalent to letting you five dollars, son, it is not easy for me to come from Samarkand, you have to let me earn some travel expenses!" ”

The other party's counteroffer is not ruthless, and the more important thing is that he doesn't have to worry about buying fakes, Guo Song opened the box and looked at the three emeralds, I'll go, three crooked melons and cracks, which are covered with impurities and cracks.

It's right to think about it, he can buy emeralds known as the king of gems at the stall? Even in the Tang Dynasty, it was a treasure for the magnates.

Wait a minute! Guo Song suddenly discovered something.

Although one of the emeralds was full of impurities and cracks, but the impurities and cracks were mainly on the outside, the core inside was very pure, and he quickly estimated in his heart that at least three-quarters of it would have to be cut off, and the final pure emerald was about the size of a sparrow egg.

But even if it is reduced by more than half, it is also a high-grade emerald!

Guo Song's heart was pounding, he deliberately picked for a long time, and his mouth was still unforgiving, "Don't you have emeralds that are in better condition?" You can handle this kind of rag too! ”

The stall owner grinned, if there were good emeralds, would he still set up a stall here?

Guo Song finally picked up the piece of emerald, and reluctantly took out eight taels of broken silver and handed it to the stall owner, "Forget it, if I didn't like this piece of turquoise, I wouldn't buy this kind of tatters." ”

"Childe has eyesight, and it will definitely not be a loss to buy it, and you will know that you have made a lot of money when you go to Chang'an."

'Earn your size, you can make a lot of money, why don't you go to Chang'an to sell?' ’

Guo Song scolded twice, and then put the box containing the two gems into his arms, but he still felt that something was wrong, he seemed to have been pitted, and after taking two steps, he suddenly reacted.

That's not right! Just now he clearly said that turquoise has always been money, why has it become three times money? Doesn't that mean that this emerald can at least lower the price for two more dollars.

He glared at the stall owner fiercely, but the stall owner smiled and pointed to a sign above his head, Guo Song looked up, only to see that the card read: 'Small business, no returns!' ’

Forget it, it's hard to buy a favorite, he really likes that piece of turquoise, and the emerald has picked up a small leak, thinking about this, Guo Song stopped caring and turned away.

After a few more strolls, he came to the food section, where all kinds of pastries were sold, and piles of fruit, mainly white melons and pomegranates.

At this moment, a man in front of him walked quickly with a glass bottle in one hand, and covered most of his face with his coat with the other hand, and a pair of thief eyes were rolling around.

Sure enough, Guo Song was angry and funny, is this bastard planning to touch porcelain?

The man suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Guo Song fiercely, Guo Song flashed slightly, but he didn't want to let him go like this, and his foot hooked underneath.

"Ahh The man screamed, his body flew out, and he slammed into the wall.

Fortunately, it was a mud wall, otherwise he would have to be killed by a headlong collision, Rao is like this, the man still hit his head full of blood, and the person fainted on the spot.

Naturally, the bottle in his hand also fell to the ground and broke in half.

The people around surrounded one after another, and while treating the man, they accused Guo Song of being unreasonable.

Guo Song wanted to see what the man said in the end, he stood aside with his hands in his hands, and patiently watched the man wake up.

At this moment, I heard a young woman behind me reprimand in a loud voice: "You hurt people like this, do you just stand by and watch?" ”

Guo Song didn't have to look back to know that he had met the nosy Duan Sanniang again.

Guo Song smiled faintly, "How does Miss Duan know that I hurt him?" ”

"I saw it with my own eyes, and you hooked him with your foot!" Duan Sanniang glared at Guo Song Dao angrily.

"The girl's eyesight is good, I'll make a bet with you! If he wakes up, he must ask me to pay for his things, and it doesn't matter how he hurts. ”

Duan Sanniang was stunned, what does this mean?

When the man finally woke up, he suddenly screamed, "My glass vase! ”

The man lay on the ground and cried, "Fathers and fellow villagers, let me be the master!" Break my beloved vase, and beat me to death, how unreasonable are the Han people! ”

"Do you mean he's blackmailing you?"

Duan Sanniang said with a cold face: "There has never been a blackmail in this market, I know this Sogdian man, he is Anshan, the nephew of Li Ande of the armory shop, he is an innocent businessman, and his net worth is not thin, what is the point of him blackmailing you?" ”

"What's the point?"

Guo Song sneered, stepped forward and said, "An Ye is here for my ironwood sword!" Not dead yet? ”

An Shan sat on the ground, rolled his eyelids and said: "I don't want you any ironwood sword, my treasure bottle is worth two hundred yuan, you have to compensate me, and you have to apologize to me, otherwise I will go to the government to sue you!" ”

At this time, Liang Wu came over and said, "You will definitely not go to sue the official, then I will fulfill you, and follow the rules of the Sogdians!" ”

Liang Wulai was a step late, and just saw Duan Sanniang scolding Guo Song, and he also understood that this was the An family's uncle and nephew plotting Guo Song's ironwood sword!

When the people around him heard that it should be done according to the rules of the Sogdians, they immediately clamored, and An Shan was waiting for an opportunity to say this, since the other party took the initiative to propose it, it would be the best.

He immediately agreed: "Since you don't want to report to the official, then follow the rules of the Sogdians, Master Liang, we will see you in the open space in front of the armory!" ”

After saying that, he got up with difficulty, covered his forehead and limped away, and the broken bottle on the ground was gone.

Duan Sanniang frowned, she also felt a little wrong, obviously she just broke a bottle, how could it have evolved into a gambling fight between the two sides, could it be that this Sogdian was really plotting against each other's ironwood sword?

She leaned over and picked up the bottle, the bottle was a relatively expensive glass bottle, the bottle was very thin, it was indeed fragile, but the ground was thick sand, either intact or shattered, how could it be just broken in two, she looked at the fracture, the fracture was neat, it was clearly cut with a sharp blade.

She had already realized that she had made a mistake, but let her put down her face and apologize, it would never be possible, she suddenly remembered that Guo Song also hooked An Shan with her foot.

'Neither is a good thing!' What's the matter with Miss Sekimoto? ’

She finally found a reason why she was innocent, turned her horse's head and left.

Liang Wu glanced at Duan Sanniang, who was walking away, and snorted coldly, "You finally understand why I hate her so much now, right?" Self-righteous all day long, not enough to achieve, more than to fail. ”

Guo Song smiled indifferently, "It's good to have her, I'm not afraid that Li Ande will lose the debt, her nosy affairs still have a certain use value." ”

Liang Wu was stunned for a moment, Duan Sanniang still has this kind of benefit?

He thought for a while and then whispered to Guo Song: "Since Li Ande wants your iron-wood sword, we will simply plan it, and when we gamble later, you will make a bet on my sword, win his iron sword back, and let him steal the chicken without losing a handful of rice." ”

Guo Song shook his head and smiled: "You may not be able to draw his iron horizontal sword with your sword, don't they want an ironwood sword?" Then use an ironwood sword to make a color head. ”

"What if you lose your ironwood sword? It was a gift from your master. ”

Guo Song's eyes burst with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "He had better have the ability to win my ironwood sword, otherwise his greed will only cost him his life in vain." ”
