Chapter 79 Pawns

Chapter 79 Pawn

"One million taels!" Wang Teng gasped when he heard the maid's quotation. He thought: "What kind of medicinal materials did the teacher prescribe for me? How could they be so expensive?" He didn't know much about medicinal materials and had no knowledge of them beforehand.

I don't know the value of the items on this prescription.

"Yes, these medicinal materials are very rare and precious, and some ordinary people may have never seen them in their lives. One million taels is a conservative estimate." Seeing Wang Teng's reaction, the maid was even more sure that he had no money, and her tone

It calmed down a little.

Wang Teng smiled bitterly and thought to himself: "Where can I get this huge sum of money?"

The maid said calmly: "Master, if you have nothing to do, you can take a look, I will go first." She turned around and left.

Wang Teng saw many guests coming in, and the maids all greeted them with smiles and offered them tea. He was treated like this, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Wait a minute."

The maid said calmly: "What else do you want?" Even the word "young master" was omitted!

"I... indeed don't have enough silver. But I have some good stuff on me. I wonder if your house can accept it as a pawn?" Wang Teng coughed and touched his nose.

"Pawn?" The maid took the trouble and said, "I, Wanbao House, only buy rare treasures. We don't want some junk."

Wang Teng smiled, took out a jade bottle from his arms, and said, "How much is this thing worth?"

The maid took it and looked at it, and said in a daze: "This jade bottle is made of high-quality jasper and inlaid with red gold. It's not bad." She glanced at Wang Teng and her attitude finally improved!

Wang Teng smiled lightly: "The girl is wrong. The thing I want to pawn is the elixir inside."

Hearing this, the maidservant was immediately surprised. What could be contained in a precious jade bottle? When she opened it, she saw a thumb-sized green pill lying inside, exuding a unique smell.

Medicinal smell.

Wang Teng introduced: "This is the body-forging bone pill!"

The maid frowned, shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it!"

Wang Teng secretly thought that this elixir had been extinct in the Chu Kingdom for a long time. It was normal for ordinary people not to know about it. He only learned about its preciousness from Liu Fei at the tomb of King Wu. He smiled and said: "Girl, you might as well give it to Guilou."

Take a look at it and think about it, you won’t be disappointed!”

The maid's face darkened and she said, "Are you telling me that you don't have good eyesight and don't recognize treasures?"

Wang Teng said: "I dare not."

The maid sneered and said: "What treasure? This pill is dark in color and does not look like something valuable at all. I think you are probably here to cause trouble on purpose. Leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for asking you to drive you out!"

Her voice was very high, which immediately attracted the attention of many customers.

Wang Teng frowned and was about to speak when someone suddenly said loudly: "What's going on?"

A young man in white clothes walked out of the crowd, with a handsome and free-spirited face!

The maid said respectfully: "Second Young Master, this poor boy has a broken pill and insists on pawning it. It affects our business. I am about to drive him away." She pointed at Wang Teng and snorted, as if

Said: "Boy, you are finished."

Unexpectedly, the young man in white followed her hand and when he saw Wang Teng, he said happily: "Brother Wang!"

Wang Teng cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, you're fine!"

This person is actually the second young master of the Liu family, Liu Feiyang!

When the maid saw that Young Master Liu Feiyang looked familiar with this poor boy, the expression on her face immediately froze, and there was a hint of panic in her heart, thinking to herself: "How could the Young Master know him!"

Liu Feiyang took Wang Teng's hand cordially and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, it's really wonderful to come to this store. Why didn't you tell me before so that I could welcome you personally." He then sighed apologetically: "Go up.

The time we were together in Qiling, you, Zhao Kun and Li Peipei had a bad fight, and I was caught in the middle. I was in a dilemma. Thinking about it afterwards, I regretted it very much. Please don't take it to heart, brother Wang. I'm here to make amends to you.

That’s not true.” He bowed his head to the end with a sincere look on his face!

Wang Teng said helplessly: "It's just a trivial matter, there's no need for it to be like this."

Liu Feiyang smiled and said: "Brother Wang, it's good if you don't blame me." He turned around and his face turned cold, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Cui, what's going on!"

Seeing that the young master respected this poor boy so much, the maid named Xiao Cui turned pale with fright. When she heard this loud shout, she was like thunder, her legs went weak and she almost fell down, saying: "Xiao Cui is wrong

, I didn’t know that this young... young master is the young master’s friend, please... the young master forgive me.”

Liu Feiyang shouted coldly: "Brother Wang rarely comes to our store, but you dare to drive him away. How brave you are. Pack your things and get out immediately. You won't come to Wanbao Building tomorrow."

Seeing the usually amiable second young master, it was rare that he was so angry. All the maids around him were silent. They thought: "Usually, the second young master dotes on Xiao Cui the most. Over time, Xiao Cui will inevitably become a little arrogant. The "Wang" who came today

"Brother, you are really big, Xiaocui is kicked onto the iron plate!"

For a moment, the entire Wanbao Tower was silent.

Xiao Cui suddenly knelt down, trembling all over, and said: "Second Young Master, I was wrong, please don't drive me away. Xiao Cui has no father or mother. If she leaves Wanbao Tower, she will starve to death on the streets."

Wang Teng also said helplessly: "Brother Liu, it's just a trivial matter, so don't get angry."

Liu Feiyang's face was slightly relaxed, and he nodded: "Xiao Cui, for Brother Wang's sake, I won't argue with you today. If something like this happens again in the future, I won't spare you, you know?"

Xiaocui nodded quickly, glanced at Wang Teng in awe, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you so much, Mr. Wang, for your great kindness. I just ignored you and contradicted you, so I apologize here."

Wang Teng shook his head and sighed, not saying much.

Liu Feiyang said: "Huh, why are you kneeling here? Why don't you go and serve tea to Brother Wang?"

Xiao Cui burst into tears and said, "Yes, yes, Xiao Cui will definitely serve the best tea." She hurriedly went.

Liu Feiyang smiled and said: "Brother Wang, there are many people here, please come to the inner hall to get together." He led the way to the store.



Behind the hall, there is a room with simple furniture and famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. It is antique and elegant.

Wang Teng and Wang Teng sat down.

"Here comes the tea." Xiaocui walked in with her head lowered.

Liu Feiyang said: "I'll give it to Brother Wang first."

Xiaocui didn't dare to raise her head. She placed the tea set in front of Wang Teng and poured a cup respectfully:

Liu Feiyang smiled and said: "Just now Xiaocui said that Brother Wang wants to pawn the elixir. I wonder what elixir it is?"

Wang Teng handed him the jade bottle.

Seeing how exquisite the jade bottle was, Liu Feiyang praised it, opened the cork, looked at the elixir, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, his expression was shocked, and he lost his voice and said: "Could this be the 'Bone Strengthening Pill'?"

Wang Teng smiled lightly and said: "Brother Liu has extraordinary knowledge!"

Liu Feiyang looked solemn and glanced at Xiao Cui, as if to say: "Did you know that you almost abandoned this big business just now because of your recklessness?"

Xiaocui was still following him. She understood what he meant, and her hands shook in fright. When she poured the tea, the water almost overflowed.

Liu Feiyang looked at the jade bottle and said: "This elixir is no longer visible in Chu State. I heard that three pills appeared in King Wu's tomb last time. It seems that one of them was obtained by Brother Wang. It is really gratifying." He sighed again.

, said: "There are many corridors in the tomb and the routes are complicated. Zhao Kun, Li Peipei, I, and I did not find the alchemy room. I found out later that I had no chance to see the legendary elixir in the first place. It was a pity that today I

See, I finally got my wish fulfilled."

Wang Teng understood that the corridors in King Wu's tomb extended in all directions, and many people were traveling in different directions.

Liu Feiyang was puzzled and said: "To be honest, this pill is hard to find, do you really want to pawn it?"

Wang Teng smiled and said: "That's true. You can't even lie half of it."

Liu Feiyang thought that if someone got this treasure, he would be eager to take it himself. Wang Teng's approach was really unwise. But after thinking about it, he burst into laughter and said: "I forgot, Brother Wang's physical strength is astonishing.

.Perhaps this treasure elixir is no longer useful to you, so it makes sense to sell it."

Wang Teng nodded. After merging with King Wu's soldiers, his physique became even more terrifying. Ordinary pills were ineffective against him.

Liu Feiyang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, we friends will never cheat you. The price is two million taels, so I accepted it."

Wang Teng was surprised and said: "Two million taels!" He never expected that this thing was so valuable!
