The person at the door raised his hand and saluted: "Does this senior know us? Does he know my adoptive father? Doesn't he know his surname? I'm sorry, this junior."
Old Wu put down his wine glass and said lazily: "Old man, I am just a nobody, but your name as the Third Master of the Tang Clan is very famous! In addition, you, the 'Seventh Prince of the Tang Clan', although you are all young juniors, , but I have also heard of your name in the past ten years.”
"The seven monkeys of Tang Clan?"
Although Shao Xi didn't say anything, he was wondering in his heart, how could someone call someone this in this world?
"I am Tang Ming, the third son of the Tang clan. I know that it is really rude to rush in today. I just have a few words to ask this young master."
"It turns out to be Tang Ming, the third son of the Tang family in 'Qingfengmingyue Zuiqionglou'. I wonder why the third son wants to see my young master?"
Tang Ming was slightly surprised when he heard that Old Wu called Shao Xi "young master". When could the servants at home eat at the same table as his young master? I wonder which young master is so generous and treats his servants so kindly?
However, looking at Old Wu's demeanor and tone of voice, one can tell that he is a senior figure in the world, so the young master he talks about is not an ordinary person, and must have some background.
"This junior came here rashly because he actually wants to make a deal with this young master."
When Shao Xi heard Tang Ming's words, he immediately became interested. Xin said that what he had guessed before was close to ten, that this person was indeed here for the thing in his hand, but it still depends on what he said.
"I wonder what kind of deal you want to make with me? Why don't you come and listen."
Tang Ming hesitated for a moment, then said: "The soft gold armor that the young master bought at Taihe Trading Company is called 'soft gold wrap'. I have been interested in it for a long time, but I didn't bring enough money today, so I couldn't buy it. I came here to ask the young master if he is willing to give up his love and resell this soft armor to me."
"Resell it to you? I wonder how much you are willing to pay? In fact, I am not short of money at the moment."
Tang Ming hesitated again, and finally said: "I only brought five hundred and fifty gold with me when I went out this time. I spent two hundred and eighty gold on the Sky Eye Stone before, so I can only use this soft armor at most." I can only give you two hundred and seventy gold."
Shao Xi tried not to laugh when he heard the price, but secretly said to himself: "Brother, are you making trouble with me? I bought it for two hundred and eighty gold, and now you want two hundred and seventy gold to buy it with me. After all the trouble, you still have to pay ten gold. You are not negotiating a deal, you are taking advantage!"
However, Shao Xi did not say what he was thinking, but simply asked, "Is there any reason that can convince me?"
Tang Ming said with a slight embarrassment: "I know the price is low, but I really don't have any extra money at the moment. However, I can agree to do something for you, as long as it is not something that goes against the moral principles of the world and harms the laws of nature." Regarding the matter, I am willing to serve you in exchange."
"For just ten gold, you are willing to do one thing for me? Including killing someone?"
"I am not a killer, nor do I kill people for money. Since the young master mentioned it, it depends on who is killed. If it is the person who deserves to be killed, I will not hesitate at all."
Shao Xi saw that this person was quite principled and would not go to any lengths to achieve his goals.
He couldn't help but tease Tang Ming: "If it was a person who deserved to be killed, I would do it myself, so why bother asking you to kill him? But now you are willing to do it for me for the sake of what you like. thing, then I wonder what you are willing to do for the Sky Eye Stone?"
When Tang Ming heard this, he was slightly surprised, "Could it be that the Sky Eye Stone at the auction was sold by Young Master? Or does the Young Master have other Sky Eye Stones in his hand? If so, everything can be easily discussed."
"You value the Sky Eye Stone so much. I guess it's not for collecting it. Could it be that the martial arts you practice have great demand for this stone?"
Shao Xi was actually asking questions knowingly. People in the Tang sect mainly practiced hidden weapon skills, and the most important thing about hidden weapon skills was vision. Shopkeeper Cao has already made it clear about the efficacy of the Sky Eye Stone before, and now he just wants to confirm it again.
"To be honest, Young Master, the martial arts I practice requires extremely high eyesight, and this Heavenly Eye Stone is just helpful for the cultivation of eyesight. However, this thing is too rare. If Young Master still has it, I will pay it no matter how high the price. "
"Oops! This is a bit troublesome. I'm afraid you won't be able to take this thing away no matter how much it costs. Even if your Tang Sect is famous in the world, you may have never seen this thing."
Tang Ming was shocked when he heard Shao Xi's words. Thinking back to the time when his ancestors of the Tang clan had helped establish the Jingyuan dynasty, Xiao Baiting, the first ancestor of Jingyuan, and were granted the title of nobility for generations, what kind of treasures had he not seen since he was a child? If it is true that I have never seen it before, I think it is only the "Nine-Eyed Sky Stone" that I have heard of its name but not seen. I have been looking for it but never found it.
"Is what the young master said...?"
"Yes, it's exactly what you have in mind."
After speaking, Shao Xi took out the Nine Eyes Sky Stone from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Tang Ming was stunned when he saw the nine-eyed sky stone in front of him. The divine stone that his Tang family had been searching for for generations, but had never obtained, now appeared in the hands of the young man in front of him. Moreover, it seemed that the young man did not value the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Stone, and just carried it with him casually. What kind of person is this person who takes it out casually and doesn't care about such a treasure?
Tang Ming cupped his hands, bowed deeply to Shao Xi and Old Wu, and said sincerely: "I, Tang Ming, the son of the Tang Clan, would like to ask you both to leave this thing to the Tang Clan on behalf of the Tang Clan. I know I can't take it now." I can't find anything that you two can appreciate, but please believe that the Tang Sect will do everything it can to exchange this Nine-Eyed Heavenly Stone with you. As for the soft armor, I won't worry about it anymore. Then I went back to contact several brothers and sisters to discuss the matter together, and asked the young master to keep this thing properly. Tang Ming would like to thank you both on behalf of the Tang family."
Old Wu once said to Shao Xi that the Nine-Eyed Sky Stone was a priceless treasure, and today it seems that this statement is indeed true. What Shao Xi didn't expect was that the Tang Sect would attach so much importance to this thing. It would really help the Tang Sect's hidden weapon skills a lot.
"I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, I haven't even thought about what I want to exchange for this thing. Gold and silver are not worthy of it. As for the other things, I don't know what I want at the moment. So if you want to exchange it with me, It’s best if you can come up with something that impresses me, and it’s not that I’m deliberately trying to embarrass you.”
Tang Ming handed over his hand and said, "I understand that the young master is willing to leave this thing to us as a great kindness. As for how to exchange it, it will not be too late to make a decision after I go back to discuss it. I just don't know where to look for you two in the future."
Old Wu pointed back to the Stargazing Inn across the street outside the window and said: "After dinner, the two of us will stay at this inn. If you have anything to do later, you can come here to find us, but we may not stay for long, so You better hurry up."
"In that case, I will go find some brothers to discuss it now. I will come to the inn later to look for you two. I will take my leave now."
Tang Ming turned around and said to Shao Xi: "Don't worry, sir, we are not evil people. We will never have any wrong ideas or make any inappropriate ideas. You only need to wait at the inn, and we will come in the next two days." Mr. Xun, I’ll take my leave now.”
Shao Xi said with a smile: "I don't care whether you have wrong ideas or not. Since I took out the things, if I don't have the ability to hold them, they should be taken away. It's just that I can't take them away." You have to try it to find out, and you will be the same.”
This sentence is neither soft nor hard. Since the other party has spoken to comfort him, he thinks that he has the ability. So Shao Xi will tell the other party now that if you have the ability, you will take care of it. There is still a warning in it, and it also gives the other party something to learn from. Be afraid and avoid trouble.
How could Tang Ming not understand the meaning of Shao Xi's words? He quickly said: "Young Master said that I have thought too much, so I will take my leave."
"I won't give it away."
After seeing Tang Ming turn around and leave the room, Shao Xi turned around and asked Old Wu a question, but the question he asked made Old Wu dumbfounded.
"Tell me quickly, why do you and Daoist Guo both say that there are seven monkeys in Tangmen? I think except for this one, which looks a bit like a monkey, that Tanglou looks quite normal, but I have never seen the others. These seven Where did the monkey argument come from?”
Old Wu took a sip of wine and burst out laughing.
"You brat, what are you thinking about? Why did you distort such a good title? They are talking about the Seventh Marquis of the Tang Clan, which means that there are seven children in the Tang Clan who are marquises. How come you got it? This becomes the Seven Monkeys of the Tang Sect?"
"Holy crap, this problem has been bothering me for ten years. It turns out he is the Seventh Prince of the Tang Sect, not the Seven Monkeys of the Tang Sect!"
After hearing Lao Wu's explanation, Shao Xi felt dumbfounded. However, this kind of homophonic joke seems to have been happening since time travel. Has no one ever noticed it?
"There used to be seven marquises in Tang Clan. No wonder they are so famous. I just don't know how they were given titles? And who are these seven marquises? I have only seen one Tanglou before, and we were all young at that time. child."
Old Wu took a sip of wine and patiently explained to Shao Xi: "Back then, Tang Song, the ancestor of the Tang clan, helped Xiao Baiting, the first ancestor of the Jing Yuan Dynasty, to establish the country. He was named king, and his descendants were named the founding princes of the country. According to the demotion of one rank per generation, According to the rules above, now that the Tang clan has reached the fourth generation, Tang Hao, the third eldest son of the Tang family, is now just a founding prince, and as for his seven adopted sons and daughters, they have also been demoted to founding princes."
"Oh, it turns out that the theory of the Seven Princes of the Tang Sect comes from here, but I have only met two of these seven people. I wonder what the other people are like? I would like to meet them if I have the chance."
"These seven people have become quite famous in the martial arts world in recent years, and they are also rising stars in the martial arts world. People in the martial arts world wrote the names of these seven people and their martial arts characteristics in a poem."
The clear breeze and bright moon drunken Qionglou,
Watching the morning without a shadow has caused thousands of sorrows.
My heart follows the stars and dreams of jade,
The Seventh Prince of Shu came out of the Tang clan.
"Alas! It sounds like counting the seven monkeys of the Tang Sect."
"puff……"
