Chapter 42

"That's it! That's it! My little master's martial arts skills are unparalleled! My little master's martial arts skills are the best in the world!" Everyone nodded and bowed with a charming smile, although no one believed that he could defeat the best swordsman in the world.

"The young master must have made a bet with that old man on something else," Bao Luoxin said.

"The little master used poison to cause trouble. There are all kinds of weird medicinal powders in his treasure bag." Wan Xiang thought to himself.

"The young master may be using this trick to cheat. He's a child who can even cry and make trouble. It's not easy for You Tianxing to do anything to him. He was annoyed by him and left." Wu Qiang thought to himself.

Wu Shuze secretly thought in his heart: "Did the young master reveal his identity and his nine-thousand-year-old power, which made You Tianxing have some scruples, and then he let us go? Alas! Who can let someone's life be good? There is one

Where is the father who can cover the sky with one hand..."

Emperor Sun Hong was incompetent and had no independent ideas. He only thought about how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. As for the government affairs, it was all up to Guo Bin to decide what was said. Guo Bin did his best to accompany him to have fun.

From time to time, he sneaked out of the palace to play, euphemistically calling it "a private visit incognito to show sympathy for the people."

On this day, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. On the "Emperor Street", the busiest street in Leiyue City, the imperial capital, two people walked one after another. Naturally, they were Sun Hong and Guo Bin, who had changed into casual clothes.

Sun Hong walked in front holding a folding fan, followed closely by Guo Bin, who also carried a small porcelain jar inlaid with gold and silver. The two stopped in front of a shop.

"Master, this is it!"

Sun Hong raised his head and looked at the plaque on the door, which read "Guxiangzhai", and couldn't help but frown.

"Isn't it about cricket fighting? Why are you here? Guxiangzhai? Why have I never heard of it? It seems like it wasn't there when I came here last time!"

Guo Bin leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, a wealthy businessman from out of town came to the city recently, named Liu Tuo. He specializes in antiques. I heard that he has a lot of good things, so I coaxed him to come.

I rented this store and opened this Ancient Xiangzhai. He also likes to play with crickets. The invincible Black King Kong I mentioned is his. Let’s come to him to fight crickets and take a look at the antiques. Maybe you can take your fancy.

Where’s the eye?”

When he heard that he was selling antiques, Sun Hong immediately became energetic and said with a proud face: "Antiques! I don't dare to say anything else. When it comes to antiques, my vision is definitely authoritative. I can't talk about ordinary antiques."

If you don’t like it, then let’s talk about it, what good things can the folk have? Most of them are fakes, so go ahead and take a look!”

As soon as the two of them entered the gate, an old man about seventy years old, slightly fat, with a friendly face and a look of wealth came to them.

"Shopkeeper Liu, this is the Mr. Sun I told you about. I came here specifically to fight with you today. Mr. Sun is a connoisseur of antiques and he also likes to collect. Please show us around first!"

Liu Tuo's eyes narrowed with laughter, and he clasped his hands and said, "Mr. Sun, how are you, Mr. Guo! The visit of distinguished guests makes the shop full of glory. My Excellency, Liu Tuo, is the shopkeeper of our shop. The shop is a little bright.

There are a few crude old objects placed in the back room for fear of offending your noble eyes. You two gentlemen, please follow me!"

Liu Tuo led the two of them to the door of the back room, opened the door, bowed and made a gesture to invite them in.

Sun Hong walked into the house casually, looked up, and was immediately stunned!

His eyes immediately focused on a screen placed in the court. This screen was about eight feet high and five feet wide. It had three folding pieces. There was a landscape painting on the screen.

It's really a majestic scene, with seas of clouds stretching to the sky, and it looks like the work of a famous artist at first glance. The screen frame is surrounded by precious gems such as jade, agate, amber, colored glaze, chicken blood jade, etc., and the outer edge is covered with gold foil, which makes it look pearlescent and precious.

"It's really the best! It's rare in the world!" Sun Hong gently stroked the screen and praised it full of praise.

Liu Tuo hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "This screen is called 'Babao Screen'. The scenery painted on it is the scenery of Leiyue Mountain. It is the original work of Mr. Ink Painting, a great painter two hundred years ago. Let's not talk about the eight kinds of inlays on it.

The precious gems were carefully carved by more than a hundred first-class jade craftsmen and took ten years to complete. There is no other screen in the world like this!"

"Not bad! Not bad! It's really a good thing..." Sun Hong couldn't help but nod.

Guo Bin hurriedly encouraged: "The picture on this screen is Leiyue Mountain, and the inlaid ones are the precious gems produced in our Leiyue Continent. Doesn't it represent the auspiciousness given by God, the peace of the country and the people? I heard that only the rich and powerful can have it."

Only those who are virtuous and capable are qualified to possess it. Who else in this world can have this blessing except you?"

Sun Hong nodded frequently and asked enthusiastically: "Shopkeeper Liu, isn't this screen worth a lot of money?"

Liu Tuo smiled without saying a word and stretched out a finger.

"Well, it's not expensive, only one thousand taels of gold..."

After Sun Hong casually told the price, he saw that Liu Tuo's outstretched finger had not been lowered, it was still upright, and the smile on his face did not change at all. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "What? Ten thousand taels?"

Gold? Isn’t that the price of buying a ‘city lord’? It’s... quite worth it... Shopkeeper Liu, I wonder if I can get a discount?”

Before Liu Tuo could speak, Guo Bin who stood beside him immediately spoke up and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, you must know that this Emperor Street is Mr. Sun's territory, so discounts must be given, but we, Mr. Sun, are also face-saving people. Don't worry, we will definitely

I won’t let you suffer!”

Liu Tuo put down his finger and said with a smile: "Master Sun, this is a business, and bargaining is normal. It's like two armies confronting each other. You kill me and I kill you. It's a lot of fun. Can you give me a price?"

Sun Hong's interest suddenly rose, and he had a battle-hardened look on his face. He rolled up his sleeves, stretched out a slap, thought for a moment, then curled up two more, held up three fingers, and moved back and forth in front of Liu Tuo's eyes.

It shook a few times.

Liu Tuo jumped up directly, with a look of astonishment on his face, and then changed to a frowning look, and muttered in a low voice: "I only bid three thousand taels, isn't this a robbery? Isn't this a bit too harsh? Don't say it is.

The screen is broken, even the gems inlaid on it... Mr. Sun, your price is not even high enough!"

Guo Bin's face darkened and became very ugly. He covered his mouth and coughed lightly and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, you came to open a shop on Emperor Street, but you came here voluntarily. You were not forced by the Zajia family, and you were not forced to do so.

?Did you know that whenever you open a shop here, you need to inform Mr. Sun in advance and get his approval? The Za family thinks that you are a good person and are quite compatible, so they make an exception and let you kill first and then show off. You can eat more. ?

You can't talk nonsense, Mr. Sun is not an ordinary wealthy family, please think about it again."

After saying that, he pointed upward slightly with his hand.

Liu Tuo has been in business all his life and has a special skill in observing people's words. As soon as he heard Guo Bin's words and looked at his gestures, he immediately understood the meaning.

Suddenly sweat broke out on his forehead, and he looked panicked. He knelt down on the ground with a bang, kowtowed three times and said: "Yes! To open a shop here, of course, the common people come voluntarily! The common people can see the dragon's face in their lifetime."

, let alone discussing business face to face, it can be said that we are honoring our ancestors and will die without regrets!"

Sun Honglong looked delighted and raised his hand to signal him to get up. He scratched his forehead gently and seemed to feel that something was not right. He said to himself: "Oh, you want to see me every day... It's not difficult. You

You can buy a position as a 'minister', and you can play with me every day..."
