The Yuanshan that Cao Shi said was located in the southwest of Jiangbei City. It was very remote and the scenery was not very good. Except for people who opened stone factories in the mountains, most people would not go there. I asked Cao Shi if those guys were the ones who took the lead at Fatai Temple. Cao Shi refused to say it, lit a cigarette and smoked silently. At this time, I remembered his instructions before departure, chuckled, and swallowed all the problems behind it.

The vegetation in the mountains has begun to become deserted. When our car arrived near the foot of Yuanshan Mountain, the lights turned off and stopped in the dead grass that was knee-high. I am a person who is born to be quiet. My butt hurts when I sit in the car and I really want to get some breath. Cao Shi probably saw that I was very annoyed when I sat there, and said that if I endured it for a while, the other party would arrive soon.

I was about to answer, but a light suddenly appeared about two or three hundred meters away from us. Cao Shi was so energetic that he stretched out his head to observe for a moment, and ordered the driver to flash the lights three times in a row.

The light responded immediately and flashed three times. It was obvious that it was definitely not a headlight or a flashlight. It looked like the light in the room after nightfall. I was a little surprised, how could such a light appear in the wilderness?

After receiving the other party's response, Cao Shi asked the driver to drive the car. I didn't understand until I came in front of me: this was an abandoned, low-rise earthen house. I didn't know what it was for. It was already a mess. Now newspapers were temporarily covered in several windows, and someone hung an energy-saving lamp that consumed the battery inside.

Cao Shi got out of the car and negotiated with the other party. With the light from the hut, I saw five people in total. A few minutes later, Cao Shi took me and the other two into the hut, and the rest were all outside.

The small dilapidated house was abandoned for a long time and was empty inside. A table was temporarily placed in the middle of the house. After both parties entered, they didn't even have a place to sit. The other party only left one person outside, and the other four were all in the house. The leader was a middle-aged man about forty years old. He was very thin and had a gloomy face, as if his wife had just ran away with someone.

As soon as both sides stood still, Cao Shi and Yin Face nodded slightly to each other. Then, the person behind Yin Face handed over a very delicate small box and placed it on the table.

I'm not sure if they brought things back from Fatai Temple, but since they have so high appetite for the old man, they have to bring real people. Although Yuanshan is deserted, it is still in Jiangbei. If the water in the world makes the old man anxious, the consequences will be very serious.

Cao Shi calmly looked at the box placed on the table by the other party, snapped his fingers, and Cao Shuang, who had been standing behind him, immediately put a small suitcase in front of Cao Shi.

The two boxes of different sizes and shapes were lying quietly on the table, which indicates that the transaction officially began. There is no doubt that what the old man is very concerned about here is exactly what I dare not say. I can only open my eyes and see what is in the box.

"One for three, you've made a profit." Cao Shi said to his gloomy face lightly: "Eighth Master doesn't care about that much, as long as the things are real."

"That's really thankful to Mr. Wei Ba." The gloomy face replied lightly, pushing their boxes forward, saying, "The things must be real, just check them casually."

Among the four people in the room, one of us is named Song Laowan, who is the best "eye" under the old man (eye is a person who specializes in evaluating and appraising cultural relics and antiques). He is very famous in Jiangbei. It is said that anything mixed with water will definitely not be able to get over it in front of him.

And because I was eager to know what was in the box, my eyes were wider than Song Laowan.

The two boxes were opened almost at the same time, and suddenly, four bronze medals with round tops and bottoms appeared in front of us. There was one in the other's box and three in our box.

When I saw these four bronze medals, I almost passed away, and the Xixia Imperial Horse Cards were burned!

It is difficult to understand the meaning of the Imperial Horse Card. In fact, it is a common card used in the Western Xia Dynasty, which is similar to the tiger talisman used in ancient military mobilization. The earliest tiger talisman in China appeared in the Qin State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was inherited until the Sui Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty changed to the fish talisman and the rabbit talisman and the tortoise talisman. The talisman also appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and was called the Imperial Horse Silver Plate.

The Song Dynasty copied the Tang Dynasty's talisman system, and the Xixia was deeply influenced by the Song Dynasty in all aspects, and the Imperial Horse Charm came into being. The Xixia Imperial Horse Charm was about fifteen centimeters in diameter and was divided into two pieces. The front of the lower piece has the four words "Imperial Horse Charm" in regular script in Xixia. It is very neat and beautiful. There is a gilded character at the upper and lower ends of the brand, which means the order issued by the emperor.

According to the remaining records of the Western Xia historical records in later generations, the founding emperor of the Western Xia Dynasty, Li Yuanhao, would give the general a token before sending troops every time. The general led the troops to fight outside. If there were any major military changes, Li Yuanhao would send a special envoy to carry another token to the front line. The two tokens were combined into one, so that the general could execute the order. This kind of command tool was probably the Imperial Flame Horse Card.

The Western Xia cultural relics are rare, and the imperial horse plaque is rare. I have only browsed the pictures. I have never even seen the real one. The old man quietly collected three pieces?

But after a few glances, I felt something was wrong. The Iron Horse Plate in the box was not authentic and seemed to be a parallel product. Not only was the size less than fifteen centimeters, but the upper part of the bronze medal did not have honeysuckle patterns, and the lower part did not have the four words Iron Horse Plate in Xixia. It was like a good Mercedes-Benz, with the front and rear signs being deducted. It looked very awkward. Cao Shi also said he was a top-notch hard guy, what's the thing!

Is it these parallel goods the old man was thinking about? He already had three such things, and he still had to continue looking for them like crazy. Do you want to make a complete set? Parallel goods are parallel goods. Even if they make ten sets, they are still a complete set of parallel goods, which is not worth a few dollars. But this speculation is not tenable. The goods traded by both parties are already very clear. According to Cao Shi's opinion, the old man wanted to exchange three items for each other.

I felt a little regretful. I risked being scolded by the old man to trade with Cao Shi to see things with my own eyes and satisfy my curiosity. I didn’t expect that I saw things, but my curiosity became more and more swelling. Neither the old man nor Cao Shi would tell me the truth. This trip was worth it.

I thought hard, and Song Laowan had already started working there. I have heard that when he looked at things, he did not need to use any tools at all. He could distinguish the truth from the false with just a pair of eyes and two fingers. Our things were the same as the other party's things. Song Laowan must have figured it out in advance. For a master like him, if he missed the references, it would be better to hang himself directly.

The old man's goal was the bronze medal in the box in front of the gloomy face. Cao Shi had already made a mistake at Fatai Temple, so no mistakes were allowed in this transaction. Song Laowan was probably given a severe shot and did not dare to be too big at all. He carefully picked up the goods brought by the other party and looked at them for a full ten minutes. Then he closed his eyes and paused for a moment, rubbed them with his two fingers, and then nodded to Cao Shi.

This means that there is no problem with the other party’s things.

When Song Laowan was watching the goods, I also looked at them very seriously. It was certain that this was definitely not a horse-drilling card in Xixia, but it was just a bit similar.

Our appraisal was over, but the other party's "eyes" were endless, and he looked over and over again. All kinds of antiques were prepared in a complete set of tools, which looked very professional, but actually very annoying. I couldn't help but want to smoke him when I saw his tangled look. I was so impatient that I reached out to take a cigarette and ignite it.

Everyone in the room was all focused on things. The lighter in my hand sounded crisply. Everyone couldn't help but look here, and their gloomy face raised their heads slightly. This guy didn't talk much since he entered the room, looking indifferent and proud. But after seeing me light a cigarette, his eyes suddenly widened and his face changed slightly.

I didn't expect that I would cause such a big reaction from the gloomy face, but I immediately understood that it must be the ones I was holding the cigarette and causing the trouble.

My left hand is born with six fingers, and these six fingers are very strange in length. They grow out of the base of the little finger, and then the fingertips are connected to the second section of the little finger, thus forming a small flesh ring. When I was young, I didn't care. When I grew up, I felt awkward. I thought of going to the hospital for a minor surgery to cut it off. As a result, the old man scolded me. He said that this is something I grew up in nature. If it is cut off, it will be detrimental to my future fate. I was very impressed by the old man's knowledge and ability, so although I didn't believe in the words of fate, I still kept this strange six fingers.

For a moment, my gloomy face and I felt a little out of control. I quickly retracted my hand and he quickly withdrew my gaze. This guy glanced at me at the end, which made me feel very uncomfortable. Although the gloomy face's gaze was not as shiny as written in the novel, it was very sharp. It was as if I could stab someone at a knife.

After this small episode, the other party's "eye" still pinched the things and refused to let go, as if he was not sure about the truth or falsehood. Cao Shi was very patient, but his uncle and brother Cao Shuang was a little impatient and said, "What is our eighth master? Can you fool you with fake things? If you don't have enough eyesight, go back and practice for a few years."

"Yes, yes." Although the other party's "eyes" were not good at business, they were very respectful. While picking up a magnifying glass, they said carefully: "What this big brother said is that I have been in the industry for a short time and are naturally timid. When I meet good things, I feel trembling. I am afraid I will miss it. Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Let me look at it for a while, and then look for a while..."

He reached out and didn't hit the smiley person. After he said this, even Cao Shuang was embarrassed to speak again, so he could only wait calmly.

It took Song Laowan a little more than ten minutes to see Yu, but the other party had been over half an hour before he said to the gloomy face with fear: "I've seen the thing."

"Yeah? How about it?"

"This..." The man wiped the sweat from his forehead with a frown: "I still can't eat it accurately..."

"You are playing with us!" Cao Shuang wanted to yell again. Cao Shi stopped him and turned to the gloomy face and said, "We have been making a living in Jiangbei and can't escape. The eighth master's reputation can be found elsewhere, and the things will never be mixed. If there is any problem, go to Jiangbei to find me, the person surnamed Cao will not refuse to admit it."

"This can only fool a three-year-old child." He put his gloomy face in his pocket, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "But I believe you."

Saying this with a gloomy face means approving our stuff. I thought the deal would end here, and everyone took their own things and left. Unexpectedly, both parties had no intention of leaving, and they took out a set of tools for rubbing.

I was a little puzzled, but I didn't dare to talk too much, so I had to watch Song Laowan brush the messy patterns on the inside of the bronze medal intact. After all the things were traded, what else would I do to rub the materials?

Song Laowan made a rubbing of the other party's thing. He was very quick to deal with it. After the rubbing was finished, he cleaned the things and returned them. The other party took the things and put them back in the box, closing the lid.

I felt a sudden thought, was the purpose of this transaction not a bronze medal, but a rubbing?

In other words, what the old man and the other party want is not the bronze medal itself, but the information carried on it?

After all the rubbings were completed, it was already past two o'clock in the morning. My speculation was confirmed. Both sides repacked the things they brought into the box and took away the rubbings. My legs and feet were numb, and I felt very upset. I just wanted to forget all the bronze medals and go back to bed quickly so that I would not be able to guess the result. At this moment, the only person left behind the other party slipped into the room gently, and whispered something in a humming mosquito in his ear.

The gloomy face nodded quietly, and after pondering for a minute, he suddenly smiled nervously and said to Cao Shi: "There is an old saying that is good. The nine-fold gate of the Wei family, the eight-man in the old family, and Wei Changkong Wei is really a character."

I have also heard people say this insincerely. The Wei family was a big family in the past, but later the population withered and gradually became defeated. The old man’s current family business was all built by his poor and abilities. The nine-level gate of the Wei family was not about the nine gates in the Wei family courtyard, but about nine old men and brothers, all of whom were able to support the household. Among them, the eighth-year-old Wei family, that is, the old man, was even more of a talent among talents.

"Master Wei Ba is now 70 years old?" He looked at Cao Shi with a gloomy face and squinted eyes: "I'm still very careful."

"What do you mean?"

The gloomy face reached out and pointed in all directions, and smiled in a silence: "Just near this room, Mr. Wei sent you seventeen more supporters, but unfortunately, they can't move now."

Having said that, even a fool could hear something wrong. Cao Shuang was about to reach out to take out the guy, but the person behind the gloomy face suddenly grabbed the guy first, and a few guns were immediately aimed at us. Then, someone came up to search all the guys on us. Cao Shi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you playing with fire?"

Near Jiangbei, the word "playing with fire" means black eating black.

"None of us is serious, so no one can say anything." He turned his head to look at me and said to the person behind him: "Stay this and let the rest go."

Damn it!

I couldn't help but burst out the old man's catchphrase. It was so unlucky. I was so curious that I insisted on pestering Cao Shi to bring me to see the novelty. Who knew that I had encountered such a disgusting thing? What did these people come from? I was so brave. Yuanshan did not count the territory of Jiangbei after all. It is definitely not an ordinary person to dare to stroke the old man's tiger beard here.

I have no experience, and when I encounter changes, my mind is in a mess and I don’t know how to deal with it. In fact, even if I think about it, I can’t think of any solution. After all, there is a hard guy who is pressing on our foreheads.

The other party's person was about to take action, but Cao Shi suddenly said for no reason: "What time is it now?"
Chapter completed!
