Chapter Twenty-Three: Bargaining (Revised!) )
CHAPTER XXIII
After walking about four or five miles, they finally saw the steps up, and the three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Walking out of the steps, slowly pushing open the iron door, everyone found that they came to a circular hall, there are more than a dozen identical iron doors on the first floor of the round hall, and the second, third, and fourth floors are exquisite boxes.
"It's almost time to start, let's go to the box first!" Ji Qingya urged crisply.
The three of them didn't squeak, and silently followed her to the No. 1 box, where the two maidservants were already waiting!
"In order to express my apology, Miss Ben gave the innocently injured Wei Gongzi ten black coins as an apology!"
Gongzi Wei Xing took the small cloth bag brought by Ji Qingya, and excitedly played with the delicate round black currency.
The shape is similar to Yuan Datou in later generations, but it is one-third smaller than Yuan Datou, but the weight is not much lighter than Yuan Datou!
On the obverse, there is an ancient seal with the word "black", and on the reverse is a figure of a divine sword and a magic knife holding opposite each other.
Although the technology of minting these black coins is not as good as the silver dollar technology in the modern period of the Republic of China, it is much more advanced than the technology mastered by the Western Jin Dynasty, which makes Gongzi Wei Xing's heart full of puzzlement.
After a few minutes of playing, he still couldn't tell what material the black coin was made of.
Seeing the ten black coins in the hands of Gongzi Wei Xing, Ning Zhenhu felt a little apprehensive in his heart, and thought: If it weren't for his own ice crystal, that witch wouldn't be so generous?
He once sold a two-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum here, and it was only worth twenty-one black coins!
Gongzi Wei Xing suddenly turned his head and asked, "Sister Qingya, can I borrow money here?" ”
Before Ji Qingya could reply, Ning Zhenhu couldn't sit still, and suddenly spoke up, and asked angrily: "Master Wei, what do you mean by this?" How did you promise me beforehand? ”
"Uncle Tiger, you're too sensitive, I'm just asking casually!" Gongzi Wei Xing smiled perfunctorily.
But he muttered in his heart: Don't you want to try to sell that piece of jade and try to get some benefits, do you still wait for others to take the initiative to snatch it? Stupid one!
Ji Qingya still stood there elegantly, as if she hadn't heard Ning Zhenhu's words, and replied pleasantly: "Originally, we have no precedent for borrowing money here; But who made you our guests? ”
After a pause, Wan Er smiled, and continued: "Wei Gongzi and Brother Xiahou can borrow a hundred black coins in advance, and the head of the Zhenhu dart can borrow three thousand black coins in advance!" ”
"However, you will need to repay it immediately after the auction is over; Otherwise, you need to sign the deed of sale, when it will be repaid, and when can you leave! ”
Ning Zhenhu cried with a sad face, and replied indifferently: "I don't need it!" ”
Gongzi Wei Xing didn't seem to hear Ning Zhenhu's words, and asked unhappily: "Sister Qingya, I protest against your discrimination against handsome young men!" He only lent me a hundred black coins, and he looked down on me too much! Uncle Tiger can borrow 3,000 for the age of a trough cake, why is a sunny boy like me inferior to him! Protest, protest, warm protest! ”
Ji Qingya was made to laugh and cry by the new words that Gongzi Wei Xing kept coming out, and everyone was secretly negotiating the price of the ice crystal.
Regarding the little trick of Gongzi Wei Xing to take the opportunity to benefit himself, Ji Qingya was very contemptuous and helpless;
If there is a grandmaster here, you can take them down quietly and not talk nonsense with them!
If you don't agree to the thief's request, the thief can't cooperate tacitly;
If you don't cooperate, it will be difficult to find a high-sounding reason to get ice crystals.
"Wei Gongzi, the black currency is very valuable, a piece of silver can be exchanged for more than a hundred taels of silver, and most of the time no one takes the initiative to change it!" Ji Qingya patiently explained.
She didn't want this little ghost to take advantage of him, and the ice crystal was not his.
"What! Can it be exchanged for gold and silver? Gongzi Wei Xing was taken aback and asked with some suspicion.
Ji Qingya was also surprised by the ignorance of Gongzi Wei Xing, black coins are the standard currency circulating in the black market, not only recognized by the black market in the entire Western Regions, but also recognized by the black market in the Central Plains, Xiongnu and Xianbei.
"Childe, where does your family live? What kind of livelihood does the family do? Ji Qingya asked suspiciously.
"Sister Qingya, I'm sorry! Without the consent of my parents, I have no way to be responsible for you, I am the one who has a fiancée!! Childe Wei Xing deliberately showed an apologetic expression.
This itched the root of Ji Qingya's teeth, and he also knew that the little ghost deliberately meant that he would make a mistake and deliberately teased himself.
"Please Wei Gongzi respect himself, Qingya is still in the boudoir, and his reputation cannot be stained in the slightest!" Ji Qingya warned with righteous words.
At this time, a beautiful and colorful woman in red walked up to the high platform of the hall and said, "I have asked Master Nangong to preside over tonight's auction!" ”
At this time, Gongzi Wei Xing said straight to the point: "The auction has begun, Sister Qingya, let's not go around in circles, tell the price you can pay!" ”
"If we were to get out of here, I would definitely throw the ice crystals into the desert, and even if your power was monstrous, I would never try to find it, unless you turned the Taklamakan Desert over several times!"
Looking at the little ghost's solemn expression, Ji Qingya didn't dare to bet on herself, there is no grandmaster here now, and it may not be possible to leave two "dark energy" masters smoothly;
Besides, she can't make a big move, lest the secret opponent get the news and desperately block and intercept it.
Once this ice crystal has an accident, even if her identity is very unusual, she can't bear this responsibility, and the general altar has been looking for traces of ice crystals for hundreds of years.
Ji Qingya didn't dare to show a trace of flaws, afraid that they would continue to open her mouth, and calmly threatened: "Are you really not afraid of death?" Don't even care about the lives of your friends and loved ones?"
"Sister Qingya, you are so domineering, you take our baby arrogantly, but you don't want to pay the price you deserve! The dog is in a hurry and bites! Besides, we're hot-blooded warriors! ”
"The Buddha fights for a mouthful of incense, and people fight for a breath, don't really annoy us, and in the end, everyone will die!"
"As for whether we dare, Sister Qingya, can you try?" Gongzi Wei Xing said coldly.
Ning Zhenhu and Xiahou Zhu did not squeak, and let their son Wei Xing speak out to negotiate.
Now, Gongzi Wei Xing is betting on the importance of this piece of jade to them, if it is very heavy, they will definitely shrink back, dare not break the net, afraid that the ice crystal will have an accident!
Gongzi Wei Xing has six or seven percent certainty in his heart, so he dares to stand on someone else's home field and be presumptuous.
Ji Qingya didn't respond immediately, she looked at her son Wei Xing coldly, she was angry in her heart, she was born noble, and she had never been threatened by anyone so mercilessly since she was a child.
"Don't want to move! Otherwise, you do it at your own risk! Gongzi Wei Xing suddenly pointed to the two maidservants in the box and warned softly.
Ji Qingya stared thoughtfully at Gongzi Wei Xing for a moment, then turned her head to the two maidservants, and said, "Ah Chun, Ah Qiu, without my order, don't act without permission!" ”
turned around again and said to Ning Zhenhu: "Zhenhu total dart, the value of a thousand black coins, you know very well, don't make mistakes, regret it for life!" ”
"I listen to Wei Gongzi!" Ning Zhenhu replied coldly, and he was no longer ready to speak.
"Sister Qingya, if the ice crystal unfortunately breaks in the middle of a fight, you must not blame us!"
Gongzi Wei Xing deliberately showed a very frightened expression, and threatened invisibly.
Ji Qingya glared at the cunning imp fiercely, and said, "Let's talk about your requirements first!" ”
"Uncle Xiahou and I each have 1,000 black coins, and Uncle Tiger has 3,000, and we won't make a counteroffer!" Gongzi Wei Xing said calmly.
"Little ghost, you really dare to open your mouth, don't dare to choke to death!"
Ji Qingya is not too distressed about these black coins, but she has been led by the nose of the little ghost, and she has always been high, and she is very angry in her heart.
"It's only five or six hundred thousand pieces of silver, which is a drop in the bucket for you! We don't have a lion opening their mouths, and I won't say much about the value of ice crystals! "Gongzi Wei Xing opened his mouth and bluffed.
"Yes, I hope you're done!" Ji Qingya said ruthlessly.
"Don't worry, as long as something happens to us, the news of the ice crystals will spread throughout the sky of the Western Regions as soon as possible and at the fastest speed, Sister Qingya can give it a try?" Gongzi Wei Xing said very calmly.
"You're good!" Ji Qingya immediately turned her head to Ah Qiu and said, "Let someone send over five thousand black coins!" ”
But I thought in my heart: Thousands of pounds of weight, see how you take it, hum!
After a stick of incense, five large boxes were sent in turn.
"Uncle Tiger, Uncle Xiahou, just buy it, we can't take away so many black coins!" Gongzi Wei Xing waved his hand and announced arrogantly.
The two of them didn't know whether Gongzi Wei Xing had asked for so many black coins, whether it was right or not, so they had to smile bitterly at each other.
"I've taken all the black coins, where's the ice crystal?" Ji Qingya's iron face is like a swan in a defeated battle, very angry and cunning imp.
"What's the hurry, if you get married during the day, you can't go to bed right away!" Gongzi Wei Xing teased impatiently.
"Rogue imp!" Ji Qingya hated him to death in her heart!
"Wait until the auction is over!" After Gongzi Wei Cheng finished speaking, he immediately turned his head and said, "The auction has been going on for a quarter of an hour, let's hurry up and search for some useful treasures!" ”
The face of the cunning little ghost made Ji Qingya, who has always been arrogant, jump straight to his feet!
