Chapter 27: "Valuable" Kun Wuyu
"Miss Lu, I didn't expect your uncle to be the Marquis of Yuan today, and I happen to have something to ask for here." Su Yi said to Lu Xiangling after thinking about it in his heart.
"The benefactor says it's okay, as long as the little girl can do it, she will not refuse."
"I have an old man who wants to go to Guangyang after that, and I will arrive at Jiangting tomorrow afternoon, because there is a strong enemy secretly waiting for him to harm him, I am worried that I am alone and difficult to protect him, so I have a reluctant request, I hope that Miss Lu can tell Yuan Hou when she repairs the book to your aunt, I am willing to pay a lot of money, and I hope that Yuan Hou can send a sailor north to Jiangting to protect him with heavy troops and crossbows."
Zhou Kuian's face was full of surprise, which could make Su Yi worry about the enemy he couldn't deal with, how strong would the other party have to be for him to ask for the army to be used for defense?
Lu Xiangling was also surprised, but Su Yi was the benefactor who saved their master and servant, and she naturally would not refuse this little thing within her ability. So he nodded and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, since the matter is urgent, I will repair the book to my aunt and them." But there is no guarantee that things will work out for the little woman. ”
"Then thank Miss Lu first, Miss can do her best, if things don't work out, I'll find another way."
Su Yi was not worried in his heart, the Suiyang Navy Master led the defense of the upper and lower water systems of Suiyang Lake, and Jiang Ting was also within his jurisdiction. It is common for sailor ships to cruise in the waters under their jurisdiction, Su Yi has the affection to save Lu Xiangling's master and servant, and he is paid a lot of money, Su Yi can't think of any reason for the other party to refuse.
Besides, if he takes 10,000 steps back, even if this Yuan Hou refuses to help when the time comes, Su Yi can find another way.
"Miss Lu, this is the deposit I paid to Yuan Hou, if Yuan Hou is willing to help, I can pay four more gems of the same size as a reward."
Before the words fell, Su Yi took out an artificial diamond slightly smaller than a pigeon egg from his body and put it on the table.
This is......
Zhou Kuian, Lu Xiangling, and Lin Yu's eyes immediately attracted them.
Placed on the table is a nearly colorless and crystal-clear gemstone, which is not large, about a finger thick, and has a complex diamond-shaped surface. In the light of the lamp, the whole gemstone shines brightly, reflecting the beautiful brilliance.
What a beautiful gemstone......
This was the only thought left in Lu Xiangling and Lin Yu's hearts at the moment.
Zhou Kuian held his breath and stared at the synthetic diamond on the table, feeling that his throat and eyes were a little astringent.
"Lord, this is an extraterritorial treasure - Kun Wu Jade?" Zhou Kuian is a rich man, and he has lived in Jiangting City, a prosperous city like one of the world's largest cities, for decades, and his knowledge is naturally not lacking.
In contrast, although Lu Xiangling's family is a solid family, after all, he is from a small place like Shanzhou, and he is still young, so he naturally doesn't know what this thing is. and Lin Yu were simply amazed when they saw beautiful things.
"That's right." Su Yi nodded.
"Sure enough, it's Kun Wuyu!" Zhou Kuian continued: "I heard that this Kunwu jade is produced in Bharata thousands of miles away, and it is crystal clear and can emit light, and it is extremely rare and valuable to be sold to Middle-earth. However, although the villain has never seen the true face of this thing, the rumored Kunwu jade glow does not seem to be as bright as the master's one. ”
Of course, you are in an ancient society, and where can the craftsmanship of Bharata compare with the cutting process of the present world. Su Yi thought to himself.
Before the dungeon world opened, Su Yi had prepared some hard currency that might be used in advance. The first thing that came to his mind was a diamond. Thanks to advances in mining technology and the discovery of large quantities of giant minerals, the value of diamonds has long been in jeopardy. It also relies on monopolies and certificates to maintain false decency. In China, the increasingly mature synthetic diamond technology has sold this product at the price of cabbage.
The small bag of synthetic diamonds that Su Yi had prepared didn't cost him much money, but if he took them all out, it would be enough to blind the eyes of the natives of this world.
After coming to Jiangting City, Su Yi naturally inquired about the situation of diamonds in this world a long time ago, otherwise, if this Daxing Dynasty was rich in diamonds, or had never heard of this thing at all, then the value of the things in his bag would inevitably be greatly reduced.
With the wealth of the Nayuan Hou family for more than 200 years, he must definitely know the value of this Kunwu jade.
"Miss Lu will hand over the letter to this Mr. Zhou after she finishes writing the letter tonight. I will let him leave for Yuanyang early tomorrow morning as soon as possible, so as not to delay the affairs of you and me. ”
Lu Xiangling naturally had no objection to Su Yi's arrangement, and the two sides chatted a few more words, and Lu Xiangling went back.
After Lu Xiangling and the others left, Su Yi turned around and asked Zhou Kuian, "I heard that you still have an errand for an officer in the official mansion?" ”
"Yes, Lord."
"I also heard that you are related to the Nancheng Patrol?"
"Yes." Zhou Kuian was a little inexplicable, Su Yi asked him what he was doing, and he was faintly worried that there would be no more demons.
"Since you are familiar with people in the officialdom, then I want to visit the arsenal without any problem, right?"
Zhou Kuian said..................
Jiangting City, Nancheng Arsenal.
After showing the official letter to the sergeant of the battalion stationed outside the arsenal and verifying his identity, Zhou Kuian counted some silver, and then walked into the gate of the arsenal with Su Yi under the guidance of an accompanying officer.
The heavy winch slowly pushed open the cast-iron door, and the accompanying officials and two soldiers walked in front of them with torches in their hands, illuminating the dark space.
Still halfway through, Su Yi took off the mask on his face, Zhou Kuian was still a little surprised that he was so young, the light of the torch made his face flicker, Su Yi's bright eyes relied on the ability to see in the dark, looking at the rows of weapons on both sides.
This is a dazzling arsenal of bows, crossbows, ge, spears, axes, knives, swords, spears, hammers, maces, and other eighteen kinds of weapons. Among them, there are more than 10 types of knives such as saw knives, scimitars, ring head knives, horse chopping knives, child and mother knives, and butterfly double knives. According to the introduction of the accompanying officials, the arsenal of this Jiangting City has as many as millions of pieces, and there are even many weapons left over from the previous dynasty.
Su Yi wanted to find some suitable weapons and equipment for himself, and along the way, he kept taking down the weapons on the walls on both sides or the weapon racks and weighing them in his hands. After trying on several weapons, Su Yi asked the officer who was walking in front.
"What are your heaviest weapons here?"
"Childe can be regarded as asking the right person, the old man has been worth decades in this place, and I am the most familiar with the dozen or so thick arsenal weapons books, and Childe will come with me."
