"Is this okay?" Xu Qiao took out something from the storage gourd, 'Smack! The ground slammed on the table.

Everyone looked at it together, and the thing Xu Qiao slapped on the table was actually a string of very old stainless steel keys, a total of four, which were carved with runes from the ancient era, and the glow was flowing, and it was not a mortal thing at first glance.

Tang Xiao smiled dumbly, stretched out his hand and waved impatiently at Xu Qiao: "Why are you giving me the key to your house?" I'm not interested in picking up garbage at your house! What's the mess? Get out of the way and cool off! ”

"Humph! I don't think you idiot knows the goods! Keep your dog's eyes open and take a closer look at what this thing is! Xu Qiao couldn't help but be a little angry when he heard Tang Xiao's words.

"Wow! Stainless steel soldiers! The last time the palace martial arts competition, the emperor personally awarded Xu Zhuangyuan a medium-grade magic weapon! "There are still some people here who know the goods, and they quickly recognize them.

The warriors of the Daming Dynasty will greatly increase their strength after possessing magic weapons, and when they fight, they can refine a powerful magic weapon, and they can even defeat martial artists who have cultivated to a level higher than themselves.

However, the price of magic weapons with slightly better grades is so high and the number is so scarce that ordinary martial artists cannot afford it at all.

Xu Qiao's piece is a string of old stainless steel keys carved with runes from ancient times, which belongs to the medium-grade magic weapons that can be used by human-level martial artists, although it is only a medium-grade magic weapon of the human yuan-level martial arts, but it comes from the palace collection, and the power is already comparable to the high-grade magic weapons of the human yuan-level, and the grade can be improved again after finding the right material for refining.

Xu Qiao is currently a third-order peak martial artist of the Renyuan level, and he will soon be promoted to the fourth order, once he reaches the fifth order, he can start to drive the talisman seal to refine this magic weapon. After refining and recognizing the master, this string of ancient rune steel keys will turn into four iron helmets, iron armor, iron shields, copper and iron soldiers with a height of more than one zhang, and they can easily attack or defend against the enemy.

The current emperor Zhu Xi gave this Renyuan-level middle-grade magic weapon as a reward to Xu Qiao, the champion of the martial arts, in order to motivate him to work harder, enter the ranks of the fifth-order martial artists of the Renyuan level as soon as possible, sacrifice the magic weapon, and become the pillar of the Daming Dynasty.

"How much is this thing worth?" Tang Xiao really didn't know this magic weapon, so he had to turn his head sideways and ask Zhu Qian beside him.

"I don't know, it should be worth a thousand taels, right?" Zhu Qian answered Tang Xiao very simply, but it was pure blindness.

Xu Qiao, Qin Wu and the others heard the conversation between Tang Xiao and Zhu Gan, and suddenly had the urge to hit their heads on the wall and die, Tang and Zhu, can you two be more idiots?

Seeing that Zhu Qian didn't know the goods, Tang Xiao had no choice but to call Mu Cang over, Mu Cang couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the string of steel keys, and hurriedly came to Tang Xiao's ear.

"Young master, this is a medium-grade magic weapon, a fifth-order martial artist of the Renyuan level can be sacrificed, and it is worth at least 30,000 taels of silver, and the things that come out of the palace are priceless and marketable."

Although Tang Xiao was shocked in his heart, he pretended to respond casually, and then waved his hand to invite Mu Cang out.

"You want to bet with me with this set of keys instead of a bet?" Tang Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Qiao.

"You come less! Get all your silver tickets out for today! Xu Qiao knew that since Tang Xiao was willing to gamble, it meant that he had learned from Mu Cang about the preciousness of his string of steel keys just now.

"Cut! It's useless for me to win this thing, and in the end I still have to send it to the auction house for money, even if you have a bet on the money, it's already good, otherwise you will take it yourself and exchange it for silver and then come to me, that's it, love to gamble, don't bet to pull down! Don't waste my precious pickling time! Tang Xiao waved his hand impatiently at Xu Qiao.

Xu Qiao was trembling with anger, if it weren't for the face of the princes and princesses, and Mu Cang guarding outside, he couldn't help but want to make a move on Tang Xiao now.

Princess Yitai was also angry again when she heard Tang Xiao's words, Tang Xiao, the martial arts genius who was decisive and indifferent as iron in the martial arts field, why did she change back to the original swinger so quickly?

In the end, under the persuasion of the scholars and princesses, Tang Xiao finally agreed to let Xu Qiao pay the string of stainless steel keys for two bets, that is, 20,000 taels of silver.

"If Tang Gongzi is reluctant to give up those silver tickets, I can use such a thing to bet on something in Tang Gongzi's hands." Xu Qiao suddenly mentioned it to Tang Xiao.

"Oh? What do you want to bet on? Let's hear it. Tang Xiao knew what Xu Qiao wanted, and he was deliberately pretending to be confused now.

Things have come to this point, no matter what Xu Qiao asks Tang Xiao to gamble on, it no longer makes sense to Tang Xiao, this medium-grade magic weapon, Tang Xiao has taken a fancy to it, and he will also decide.

"If I lose this one, this excellent magic weapon is yours, if you lose, please immediately dissolve the marriage contract with Princess Yitai and return her free body!" When he said the latter, Xu Qiao's expression became extremely vicious and hateful.

Although Princess Yitai never promised Xu Qiao anything, although all this was his wishful thinking, Xu Qiao thought that Princess Yitai must love him, so he was so disgusted with the marriage contract with Tang Xiao.

Princess Yitai didn't think about what happened to this gamble and finally involved her, which made her a little depressed, but she also wanted to know what her status was in Tang Xiao's heart now, and whether he would really bet her out.

"I'm so impressed! It's a pity that I won't bet with you on Princess Yitai's marriage contract. Tang Xiao immediately replied to Xu Qiao.

Tang Xiao's answer made Princess Yitai breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that this surnamed Tang is not completely rotten, and he did not use her as a bet to gamble with others, which shows that he ...... He...... He still cares about her......

"If you win this one, I can consider losing the princess to you in the next one." Tang Xiao continued.

Princess Yitai, who was secretly a little proud in her heart, was really about to spurt out this mouthful of blood, her eyes burned with rage, and she rushed over to beat and kick Tang Xiao, but the two princes and Princess Jingle hurriedly grabbed her.

"You said it, don't go back!" Xu Qiao seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

"It's my grandson who repents." Tang Xiao immediately swore and cursed.

The game opens again, and the dice are picked up.

Roll the dice.

"Bang! Bang! With two sounds, the dice fell to the table one after the other.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, Princess Yitai is not destined to belong to him, Xu Qiao looked at the dice wheel opened by the staff, and this time his face was completely dead.

He was again defeated by a single margin.

After losing the more than 20,000 taels of silver raised by the scholars, and losing the stainless steel key magic weapon of Wu Zhuangyuan's prize, Xu Qiao's mind suddenly became blank, he had a premonition that he had a big disaster tonight, and sooner or later this matter would be known by his father Xingguo Hou, once Xingguo Hou knew, he would inevitably be punished at home, and even be disqualified from inheriting the marquis's fief!

"Nope! Give me back my magic weapon! Xu Qiao suddenly lost control of his spirit, and suddenly swung his fist at Tang Xiao, and the arrogance and elegance of the previous noble children ceased to exist in an instant.

This punch was wrapped in incomparable hatred, and the third-order peak martial artist of the Renyuan level, Xu Qiao, the champion of the previous martial arts competition, made this punch much more powerful than the punch made by Princess Yitai.

Mu Cang didn't know when he had come to Tang Xiao's side, he stretched out his hand and pulled Tang Xiao behind him, and took Xu Qiao's punch with his straight chest.

Mu Cang's strong body protection qi suddenly shook Xu Qiao's body back and flew back, slamming heavily into the wall of the private room and then falling to the ground, Xu Qiao clutched his chest... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
