Chapter 201: The Industrial Empire: Priceless

The crown prince of Chu State, Mi Heng, was a young man younger than Dai Yan, and his immature face was full of arrogance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as he saw Dai Yan, he said proudly: "Tao Qiu Jun, no matter what kind of sword you Tao Qiu has newly refined, under the Tai'a of my Chu State, its mission will end here!" ”

After saying this, he took off the sword of Tai'a from his body, and pulled it out with all his might, and the sword was unsheathed!

Dai Yan and the nobles present were very interested in such a Tai'a sword. In everyone's minds, Tai'a, as a mighty sword, must be a sharp and domineering sword! However, to everyone's surprise, this sword has a simple and unpretentious appearance both in the scabbard and after it is unsheathed, and there is no domineering sword of authority at all!

"This is Tai'a Sword?" The nobles of the countries present were all a little suspicious in their hearts, and some of them were anxious and even asked Mi Heng directly.

Mi Heng replied arrogantly: "What do you ignorant guys know? Tai'a Sword has been like this since it was cast! Don't look so inconspicuous, but it's capable of sharpening iron like clay! In my Chu country, I don't know how many famous swords have been folded under this sword! Later, Tai'a will personally cut off the evil gold cast from Yitian, and you will know the true power of the mighty sword! ”

As soon as everyone heard Mi Heng's explanation, they all believed his statement. If you want to come to the Chu State so solemnly, you shouldn't take a fake Tai'a to this Song Kingdom.

And Dai Yan naturally didn't care about Mi Heng's words, in his opinion, no matter how powerful Tai'a is, it is a bronze sword after all, and it will never be an opponent of a steel sword!

In the eyes of everyone, the Yitian in Dai Yan's hand was also unsheathed, this is also an inconspicuous sword, in appearance, this sword is similar to Tai'a!

Mi Heng and Dai Yan both picked up the sword in their hands with extraordinary confidence and slashed towards the other party's sword!

"Ding", something unexpected to everyone appeared, the two swords quickly separated after hitting each other, and even fell into a tie, no one could help the other party!

Dai Yan was particularly surprised by this! The previous confrontation with the world's famous sword has already shown the huge advantage of the all-steel sword compared to the world's famous sword at this time! However, this advantage can't be brought into play in the face of Tai'a!

And the surprise in the heart of the prince of Chu State, Mi Heng, was no less than Dai Yan, how sharp Tai'a was, no one knew better than him, a person who had personally touched the treasure of this town!

He once personally used this sword to slash a copper tripod, and he also cut off the iron sword forged by the swordsmith of the Chu State! In his eyes, there should be nothing that Tai'a can't cut off!

When Mi Heng and Dai Yan looked at each other, both sides saw the determination in each other's eyes, which was a kind of determination to vow to cut off the other party's sword and make the sword in his hand the number one sword in the world!

Therefore, both of them used their best strength and struck hard!

There was a loud bang, and the two sword-wielding men were also shocked back by the powerful force generated by the two swords striking each other. Then, the two sword-wielding men seemed to be able to sense that the sword in their hands was constantly vibrating, and the sound was like the wail of the sword!

Without any hesitation, the two of them exhausted all their strength again, picked up the sword in their hands and slashed at each other!

With a "bang", the sword broke, and the two swords finally divided the winner!

Everyone looked at it, but they saw that it was still the Heavenly Sword that was victorious! The sword of might, Taiah, has been broken in two!

This strongest bronze sword in the Bronze Age was cut off, which finally made Dai Yan breathe a sigh of relief. This sword, which was supposed to belong to Qin II, was broken like this, and there will be no more idioms of "Tai'a upside down" in the future.

At the same time, he also had a slight loss in his heart: Tai'a was cut off, which means that the once glorious Bronze Age has passed, and the age of steel has come!

Tai'a was cut off, and Prince Chu Miheng's face was full of disbelief, and he just stood there with a lost face. When Dai Yan checked the Yitian Sword and saw that there was no gap, the sound of putting the sword back into its sheath could be regarded as waking up Mi Heng.

"Tao Qiujun, your sword may cut love, and my Chu State is willing to buy it at a high price!" Mi Heng soon had a new goal, and said to Dai Yan.

Mi Heng's words made the nobles of the nations present react at once, and now the sword of prestige is also folded under the Yitian sword, so this sword is the real number one sword in the world! Such a sword can definitely be used as a heavy weapon for the town country, how can it be bought by the Chu State?

So all the nobles also began to ask Dai Yan to buy this Yitian Sword, and some impatient people even offered Dai Yan a price on the spot.

Faced with such a scene, Dai Yan just put away the sword and asked these nobles rhetorically: "Since ancient times, famous swords have been matched with heroes, and such a sword is my beloved thing, how can it be possible to cut love?" Everyone, please come back! ”

After rejecting everyone's offers, he left directly.

However, the fact that Yitian broke Tai'a was really shocking, which made all countries extremely enthusiastic about the Yitian Sword, and they all began to turn around and want to get this Yitian Sword!

In the Taoqiu Yi Mansion, Zhao Xue said to Dai Yan: "Lang Jun, the newly forged Heavenly Sword, I don't think you should stay in Taoqiu, right?" I always feel that this is the source of disaster! Today, my brother also sent someone to find me, he said that the current Zhao State lacks such a prosperous sword, I hope you can give this sword to him! As long as Lang Jun is willing to cut his love, it is easy to say what the price is! ”

As soon as Dai Yan heard Zhao Xue's words, he immediately cried and laughed and said, "Even Zhao Yong is interested in this Heavenly Sword?" ”

At this time, it was already a month after the sword fight.

Speaking of which, since Yitian broke Tai'a, Dai Yan knew that he still had so many "friends" in the world. Qin Xiang Zhang Yi was the first to come to the door and said that he was grateful for his friendship in Chu back then. After saying a lot of kind words, Zhang Yi mentioned in a roundabout way that Qin Wang Yingsi was very interested in Taoqiu's newly cast Yitian Sword, hoping that he could cut his love for this sword and form a good relationship with Qin.

Then, Hui Shi, who had already resigned from Wei, actually stood up again, as a lobbyist for the king of Wei, trying to persuade Dai Yan to hand over Yitian to Wei. Hui Shi finally promised that as long as Dai Yan could present this sword, Wei would permanently guarantee Taoqiu's neutral status in the world, and if Qi intended to invade Taoqiu in the future, Wei would definitely help!

And the Qi country in the east goes without saying. Dai Yan still retains the identity of a doctor in Qi and a bachelor. Qi Wang Tian Bijiang sent a messenger to greet Dai Yan with a very gentle attitude, and then explained to Dai Yan that the King of Qi wanted to rely on the Heavenly Sword, hoping to be able to deliver the Heavenly Sword to the Qi State for the sake of the old friendship.

And the attitude of Chu State is more arrogant. Tai'a, the treasure of the Zhenguo brought by the prince of Chu State, Tai Heng, is folded here, if he can't bring Yitian back, his reputation in Chu State will inevitably plummet! Therefore, he frantically pestered Dai Yan at first, wanting to get this sword at a high price. Later, after seeing that Dai Yan had been rejecting him, and the major powers had also begun to use various means to compete for this sword, he changed his method!

He turned to Suiyang, the capital of the Song State, and directly intimidated the high-level officials of the Song State: If he did not hand over the Yitian Sword to the Chu State, he would personally lead 100,000 troops, and the soldiers would come to Suiyang and Taoqiu City to get the sword in person!

This frightened the high-level officials of the Song State, who had always been timid, and Song Junzixi even sent a messenger to send a letter overnight, clearly telling Dai Yan that he must send the Yitian Sword out as soon as possible, and not to cause disaster to the Song State!

And when Dai Yan hadn't figured out how to reply to Chu State, his brother-in-law Zhao Yong wanted to compete for the Heavenly Sword through Zhao Xue's relationship. In this way, in the whole world, there are five kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Qi, Chu, and Zhao to compete for this sword, this is the most powerful force in the world!

For Dai Yan, he felt that this matter was too ridiculous! This sword is just a steel sword forged by the crucible steelmaking method according to the most ordinary method, even if this steel sword is the best of all forged weapons, in Dai Yan's eyes, he is still extremely ordinary, can it have such a high value?

He never wanted to keep this sword! In his opinion, if he wants a steel sword that is better than Yitian, it is completely possible in the future! Therefore, when the sword critics evaluated this sword and said that this sword was a prosperous sword, he was also behind the scenes, wanting to take the opportunity to raise the value of this sword. Now, does he seem to have gone a little too far?

The actual value of this sword is not that high, of course he can't pit his brother-in-law! Therefore, after he explained the situation of this sword to Zhao Xue, he asked her to explain the cause and effect of this sword to her brother in person. and attached another steel sword, and sent Zhao Guo away.

Subsequently, he summoned the remaining envoys of Qin, Wei, and Qi, as well as the prince of Chu, Mi Heng, and said to everyone: "Now I, Taoqiu, am fortunate to be able to forge such a heavenly sword, and cut off all the divine weapons in the world!" It is also a deep honor to be Tao Qiujun in the next place. However, I know that a divine sword like Yitian is not something that I Taoqiu can have, so I have decided to cut this sword and pass it on to all countries! ”

As soon as he heard this, Mi Heng immediately asked: "There are four countries here, but I don't know which country Cao Gong wants to deliver this sword to?" How does Cao Gong plan to deliver this sword? ”

As soon as Dai Yan heard this, he immediately responded: "The prince's question is too good! Now there are four countries here, and no matter which country I hand over Etienne to, other countries will have opinions. In this way, I think the approach of our Taoqiu people is the most suitable! Taoqiu is mostly a merchant, and the merchant encounters a commodity of extremely high value, and it has always been the one with the highest price! And I even have an auction house in Taoqiu that specializes in auctioning precious treasures, and I want to auction this sword at the auction house, and each country will take this sword with its own financial resources, what do you think? ”

"That's very good, I agree with Cao Gong's opinion!" As soon as Dai Yan's words came out, the envoy of Qi State agreed first.

Soon, the envoys of Wei and Qin also spoke one after another to express their agreement, and Mi Heng, who originally had other opinions, had no choice but to agree to the method of auctioning Yitian.

And Dai Yan also stated in advance that Yitian's auction is not limited to the country, any individual, as long as he has the strength, can come in the auction. In such a situation, even the powerful feudal lords in various countries rushed to bid for this sword. Not only Jing Guojun's son Tian Wen came to bid, but even Han Peng, Wu Anjun of South Korea, personally came to Song Kingdom to take a picture of this sword!

Seven days later, in the eyes of the world, the auction of the Heavenly Sword began!

For the Yitian Sword, Dai Yan's starting point for its pricing is 100,000 gold, and the price increase shall not be less than 30,000 gold, and the highest price will be awarded.

However, Dai Yan really underestimated the strength of these buyers and the rules he set. When the auction began, a mystery buyer directly raised a sign and shouted: "200,000 gold!" "Doubled the price of Etienne in an instant!

However, this kind of individual buyer is nothing compared to the feudal monarchs of the world, and Han Peng, the Korean Wu'anjun, saw this scene and opened his mouth directly: "250,000 gold!" ”

Compared with Han Peng, the feudal monarch of a big country is different. Tian Ying's son Tian Wen did not hesitate at all, and directly quoted a price: "300,000 gold!" ”

Then, the envoy of the Qin State smiled coldly and reported a number: "330,000!" ”

Prices skyrocketed very quickly! When more than ten rounds of competition passed, those individual buyers who wanted to fish in troubled waters immediately gave up the idea of buying this sword, and soon only the envoys of various countries and the feudal lords of the great powers were still bidding!

"700,000 gold!" The envoy of Wei reported an astonishing number, as if it were not money at all, but a pure number!

Such a high price has opened the eyes of many individual buyers and businessmen who come to Taoqiu. Although they can't get such wealth, it is really incredible for them to bid for a sword at such a high price!

"750,000!" Mi Heng, the crown prince of Chu State, coldly reported a number!

"800,000!" As soon as Mi Heng's words fell, Tian Wen's voice sounded. Both of them are young people, and in the previous bidding, both of them couldn't help but bring a trace of anger, so the bidding has already had an element of competing with each other!

"850,000!" However, as soon as Tian Wen's words fell, a faint voice sounded, but it was the price of the envoy of the Qi State!

In today's Qi country, although Tian Bijiang is the king of Qi, Jingguo Jun Tian Ying has united a large number of nobles in Qi State, and he and the king of Qi are now secretly competing. When the envoy of Qi came to bid for the Yitian Sword, the King of Qi even personally gave the Qi envoy a death order: Be sure not to let the Yitian Sword fall into the hands of Jing Guojun!

"900,000!" Tian Wen was also taught by his father Jing Guojun that he must not let Yitian fall into the hands of King Qi. Therefore, after Qi made a price increase, he also did not hesitate to increase the price!

"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and people realized that it was the sound of the sitting prince of Chu slapping the table!

And with this loud bang, Mi Heng's voice also sounded: "I am going to decide this Heavenly Sword, no one wants to rob me Chu State!" I will pay 1 million gold, plus 100 places in Huaibei, and 7 cities in exchange for this sword! ”
