Chapter 224: The Mysterious Child

Zhu Youzhen didn't expect this young man to find his head, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

In fact, he does wear a sword now, named "Traceless", which was originally Rui'er's sword.

Because he has been assassinated repeatedly, Zhu Youzhen also attaches great importance to his own safety. In addition to letting a master like Lin Youkun accompany him to protect him, he himself tried his best to arm to the teeth. A flintlock pistol is a must, but after this thing is fired once, it will be slow to reload, so you still need a cold weapon to take advantage of.

And Rui'er's "traceless", the sword body is very light, and after thousands of tempers, it is enough to sharpen iron like clay, and it is a sword. Rui'er asked Zhu Youzhen to carry it with her, and also taught him a few sword moves.

However, Zhu Youzhen has no martial arts foundation at all, and the few tricks he learned are just a cat and a tiger, and it is definitely not possible to face the enemy, and bringing a sword is nothing more than a strong courage.

Fortunately, in this era, the literati paid attention to "sword courage and qin heart", regardless of whether they knew martial arts, they were all proud of the long sword with a handle, so he did not look abrupt in the crowd at this time.

When Lin Youkun saw the young man begging for a sword, his eyebrows immediately rose. Just wanted to have a seizure, but Zhu Youzhen stopped him, took off the sword with a smile and handed it to the young man: "Please use it casually!" ”

"Your Highness, how did you give him the sword so easily? In case he is a villain..."Lin Youkun whispered to Zhu Youzhen worriedly.

"No, it won't!" Zhu Youzhen also whispered, "If he wants to assassinate, how can he not bring a weapon?" And just now he was hidden in the crowd, and it was more convenient to do it than now, so why bother. ”

The young man didn't care at all, and said to Boss Niu, "Please put your Hetian jade on the table." ”

Boss Niu didn't know what he meant, so he had to do it obediently.

The young man immediately put Zhu Youzhen's jade pendant side by side, and said loudly: "Everyone, the quality of the best Hetian jade is hard, and if you scratch it with the tip of the sword, it will generally not leave scratches." The texture of ordinary jade is on the soft side, and there will be scratches if you scratch it casually. Now Xiao Ke will come to identify these two pieces of jade, which one is the real Hetian jade! ”

As he spoke, he quickly drew his sword out of its scabbard, and the hall suddenly lit up like a bolt of lightning. Without waiting for Boss Niu to stop him, the young man had already swung his sword like the wind, swept over the two pieces of jade, and made two pleasant sounds of gold and stone!

Everyone exclaimed, and when they hurriedly gathered to look, they saw that the jade pendant was intact, and Boss Niu's cyan jade had been broken into two!

"My jade!" Boss Niu screamed miserably, wanting to cry without tears; Everyone laughed loudly, applauding loudly for Boss Niu's self-inflicted humiliation and the young man's discernment!

The young man slowly returned the sword to the sheath and said leisurely: "Boss Niu, your piece of jade is also Hetian jade, but it is only the inferior product." And this jade pendant is the best product, and it is really a priceless national treasure. There are people outside the people, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are treasures above the treasures, Boss Niu remember, don't be the frog at the bottom of the well. ”

Boss Niu was ridiculed by him, and he was so ashamed that he had no place to be ashamed, so he had to flee. Everyone laughed again, and they also recognized the name of the Champs-ElysΓ©es, and their enthusiasm for shopping increased a lot.

Only then did the young man hand the sword back to Zhu Youzhen, and said deeply: "Thank you brother Tai for borrowing the sword, your sword is also a rare treasure!" ”

In the ancient saying, there is a saying of "seeing the wise and thinking together", Zhu Youzhen saw that this young man was far-sighted, chic and handsome, and suddenly had the meaning of making friends, took the sword and said with a smile: "This son can not only know jade, but also know how to use a sword, and the younger brother admires it." The younger brother's surname is You Mingjian, and he is a Jingyang person, but he doesn't know the son's surname, where is the fairy town? ”

The young man smiled slightly: "Bai Lotian has already had a poem: why should we have met before." Xiao Ke is just a nameless grass, not enough to worry about, how dare you disturb You Gongzi's hearing. ”

"Isn't there a sentence in front of Bai Juyi's poem, 'The same is the end of the world'?" Zhu Youzhen still didn't give up and said, "Could it be that the son has any troubles?" You and I might as well find a quiet place, replace wine with tea, and have a good conversation. ”

"In this case, Xiao Ke is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!" The young man smiled, "But please wait a moment." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and asked Shopkeeper Sun, "How much silver does this jade pendant sell?" ”

Originally, Li Zicheng only priced this jade pendant at 3,000 taels of silver, but the shopkeeper Sun saw the wind and the rudder the most, and saw that this jade pendant was indeed a good thing, and the young man was interested in buying it, so he immediately opened his mouth and said: "This son still knows the goods!" This jade pendant was originally priced at 12,000 taels of silver, and the small one really liked it, and just now he taught the cow boss a lesson, so he simply transferred it to the son according to the purchase price of 10,000 taels. Not to make money, just to make you a friend! ”

The young man smiled reservedly and said, "Ten thousand taels of silver? Are you kidding me! ”

Shopkeeper Sun hurriedly said: "Son, don't worry, if you really like it, we can discuss it slowly." Do you want to give you another three hundred taels? ”

"Shopkeeper, you misunderstood!" The young man pursed his lips and said, "This jade pendant is really a priceless treasure, and it is really a pearl to fall into your shop!" How can 10,000 taels be worth its value? In this way, I will pay 30,000 taels of silver, this is the silver ticket of the Hanjiang Silver Number, you can go and exchange it immediately! ”

Shopkeeper Sun was dumbfounded, he hadn't seen a buyer who took the initiative to increase the price!

"What are you still doing in a daze, do you suspect that my silver ticket is fake?" The young man smiled and said.

Shopkeeper Sun woke up like a dream, lowered his head and glanced at the silver ticket, and said in a stacked voice: "The little one doesn't dare, this small understanding of the silver ticket is indeed the confirmed silver ticket of the Hanjiang Silver Number!" This son, the jade pendant is yours now, please put it away! ”

The young man took the jade pendant, but went straight to Zhu Youzhen, presented the jade pendant with both hands, and said: "As the saying goes, the sword is given to the hero, and the pink is given to the beauty. The first meeting is not a respect, and please don't shirk Gongzi You! ”

"It's... How does this work? Zhu Youzhen hurriedly waved his hand again and again, and said in his heart that this jade pendant was originally his own, if he turned around and returned to himself, and he had an extra 30,000 taels of silver out of thin air, it would be too shameless!

The young man said stubbornly: "If the son refuses to accept it, he looks down on Xiao Ke, and Xiao Ke has to leave immediately." ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that he was so generous, and he wanted to know who he was, so he had to reluctantly accept it, and secretly thought that he would find an opportunity in the future and return the money to him together.

Then Zhu Youzhen warmly invited the young man to the teahouse next to him to drink tea, but this time the young man did not refuse, and generously followed Zhu Youzhen into a private room by the window on the second floor. The two sat opposite each other, the guy made two cups of tea, Zhu Youzhen waved Lin Youkun away, and smiled at the young man: "Childe can introduce himself now!" ”

The young man smiled heartily: "Dare to disobey your fate!" Xiao Ke's surname is Han Mingzhen, a native of Dengzhou, and he is 18 years old this year. Because of his good nature, he is not quiet and has some surplus wealth at home, so he is determined to travel the world. Unexpectedly, I met my son here, and I was really fortunate to have three lives. ”

Zhu Youzhen has been with Qi Meifeng's Qi Jiajun for many days, so he is naturally familiar with the Dengzhou accent. As soon as he heard it, he could tell that this Han Zhen didn't have a Dengzhou accent at all, and he couldn't help but be puzzled.

Han Zhen seemed to guess Zhu Youzhen's thoughts, and said with a slight smile: "I have been away from home for many days, and even the local accent has changed." ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that he seemed to be hiding something, and he didn't want to ask deeply, so he had to change the topic and said: "Han Gongzi has a lot of research on jade and swords, and the sword swing just now is also very powerful!" ”

"Those are all small skills of carving insects, but they are not half beneficial to national affairs!" Han Zhen suddenly sighed, "What if you know how to use a sword?" Xiao Ke heard that Zhu Youzhen, the king of Qin, couldn't use a sword, but he could break the Jurchens in Ningyuan, that was the real hero! ”

As he spoke, Han Zhen showed a look of fascination, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Zhu Youzhen's face.

Zhu Youzhen made him look furious, and hurriedly interrupted: "What is Gongzi Han staring at me?" I'm not the King of Qin. ”

"Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, and I heard that King Qin is also the age of Gongzi!" Han Zhen is still envious.

Zhu Youzhen's heart suddenly became vigilant, and he secretly thought that he didn't already know his identity, right? This person took the initiative to contact himself today, I don't know what his intentions are?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen immediately felt nervous, and the hand under the table involuntarily pressed the sword handle.

Han Zhen didn't seem to be aware of it, and looked at the bustling crowd downstairs and said, "You Gongzi, look, how lively this street is, everyone is very busy!" ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't know why he diverted the topic, so he had to respond cautiously: "The common people get up early and sleep late, just to get food and clothing." Who wouldn't want to rest comfortably? Just resting, you can't earn money, you can't support your family, and you will inevitably starve to death in the end. ”

"The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. Han Zhen praised, "The words of Fang Cai You Gongzi are similar to Taishi Gong's famous words!" However, Xiao Ke recently heard that His Royal Highness King Qin came to Shaanxi to become a vassal, and he didn't want to put a good Qin Wangfu, but moved to the poor countryside of Jingyang County, how should this be explained? ”

"It's... Maybe he has his own troubles! Zhu Youzhen had to answer vaguely.

"Yes, life is in the world, and there are ten unsatisfactory things!" Han Zhen's eyes suddenly moistened a little, "How many people can do what they want and do what they want?" Most people are born without being able to get rid of the shackles of their families, so they can only follow the path that has been drawn! ”

Zhu Youzhen heard what he said, and just wanted to inquire in detail, but Han Zhen got up and arched his hand and said: "You Gongzi, it's not too early, Xiao Ke still has something to do, so don't pass it over." He will meet one day! ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Zhu Youzhen, and hurriedly went downstairs by himself.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly called Lin Youkun and said, "Follow up and see where this Han Gongzi is coming from." But remember one thing, don't hurt him! ”

Lin Youkun took the order and left, but a cup of tea came back with a sad face. Zhu Youzhen exclaimed: "What's the matter, did you meet a strong opponent?" ”

Lin Youkun said ashamedly: "The last general is incompetent and has lost people!" ”
