Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 80: One word: worth it!
Tang Zheng didn't know what Lan Shaoze looked like, but all the children in Tang Family Castle knew him. So, at this moment, all the children in Tang Family Castle were looking at him vigilantly.
Tang Xiaotang and the others all knew that Tang Zheng had sent an invitation to Yinlan Villa, but that was just a routine provocation between the two sides. No one would really think that Tang Zheng was sincere in inviting Lan Shaoze to dinner.
But who knew that the person who was invited actually came!
"Is it really Lan Shaoze? How dare he come?" All the guests present were a little stunned.
"Hidden Blue Villa has been extremely unlucky recently, so they shouldn't send him to mess things up, right?"
"Maybe it's not Hidden Blue Villa...but his personal behavior?"
"He may have thought that since this banquet was hosted by Tangjiabao and there were people from Bailianfang and Jubao Pavilion, he was just passing by and it shouldn't be too dangerous."
Most of the guests who came to the banquet thought that Lan Shaoze was just "passing by".
However, Tang Boyuan's grip on the sword became tighter and tighter.
Because... Lan Shaoze is targeting the wrong target!
Although Tang Zheng is the protagonist of today's dagger appraisal conference, Lan Shaoze will not take Tang Zheng seriously given his personality. The first person he would stare at when he comes in could be Tang Xiaotang, Tang Zixie, or even Tang Boyuan and the others, but definitely not Tang Zheng.
"Do they know each other?" Tang Zhongxing also realized something was wrong and asked Tang Boyuan in a low voice.
"I don't think he knows him." Tang Boyuan shook his head. "Master Tang was obviously asking a question just now. He wasn't even sure if he was Lan Shaoze."
The elders of Tangjiabao looked at each other strangely, completely unable to guess what was going on between Tang Zheng and Lan Shaoze.
Just when everyone thought that Lan Shaoze came here just to show off his presence, he spoke up: "Are you 'that' guest official of Tangjiabao?"
Lan Shaoze asked Tang Zhengdao as if he didn't notice the people from Tangjiabao were present.
That one.
These two words are specific.
But who exactly was he referring to and what was he referring to, only Tang Zheng knew.
He was the culprit who burned down the flower fields of Yinlan Villa, causing Yinlan Villa to fall into such a passive situation in Wulong Town!
His arrival broke the long-standing balance of Wulong Town.
Facing Lan Shaoze's question, Tang Zheng just raised his head and said with a smile: "Yes, it's me. What can I do for you, old man?"
Lan Shaoze laughed and said, "Congratulations, you have forged such a great dagger!"
Tang Zheng also smiled but didn't say thank you.
Two seconds later, everyone realized that he really shouldn't say thank you.
Because after a brief pause, Lan Shaoze asked abruptly: "The dagger is really a good dagger... Do you dare to sell it to me?"
Do you dare to sell it to me?
Everyone in the room suddenly had different expressions.
Except for the EQ scumbags in Bailianfang, everyone noticed that Lan Shaoze asked "Do you dare to sell it to me?" instead of "Can you sell it to me?"
What's the meaning?
Is there a second meaning to asking the enemy to buy a dagger?
Lan Shaoze’s subtext is: If you dare to sell it, I will use this dagger to cut your neck!
…
The Lan family has a son named Shaoze!
Anyone who is from Wulong Town must have heard of the name of the only legitimate son of this generation of Yinlan Villa.
However, not many people know Lan Shaoze.
It was only today that most people saw for the first time the way and attitude of Lan Shaoze speaking and doing things, and also for the first time witnessed his courage to attend the banquet alone.
Not only did he come to Tang Zheng's dagger appraisal conference on behalf of Yinlan Villa, but he also reciprocated the provocation that Tang Zheng had sent out with the invitation by buying a dagger!
Many guests secretly glanced at Lan Shaoze: "With such a strong attitude, isn't he afraid of offending Bailianfang?"
"As long as he doesn't fight here and cause bloodshed, there's no question of offending him. Bailianfang is not owned by Tangjiabao."
"Besides, look at the masters of Bailianfang... they probably really think that Lan Shaoze came here sincerely to buy the dagger."
"...Well, it seems so!" Seeing the reaction of the group of tech geeks, everyone was speechless.
"Now it's that Mr. Tang Zheng who is at the center. If he doesn't handle it well, this dagger appraisal conference might just boost his morale and destroy his prestige!"
How to deal with Tangjiabao?
How would Tang Zheng deal with it?
Whether to sell or not, it is not a good choice for them!
If they want to sell it, then they are stupid. The people from Tangjiabao got these good things, so why should they sell them to Yinlan Villa? This logic doesn't make sense no matter how you put it.
If you don't sell it, you're a coward. If you don't dare to sell it even when the other party provokes you, Bailianfang will look down on you.
The dagger is still in Mo Feng's hand.
Mo Feng had just explored the star power and discovered a new running-in structure, and was already immersed in his own entanglement.
That kind of run-in structure is new technology!
He really wanted to take the dagger back and continue his research, but the dagger was not his. If he wanted to buy it, Bailianfang could certainly afford it. But after all, he couldn't bring himself to ask other blacksmiths to buy weapons from Bailianfang.
Tang Zheng glanced at Mo Feng.
He noticed every little bit of confusion on Mo Feng's face.
Then, he turned to Lan Shaoze and smiled harmlessly: "Do you really want it?"
Lan Shaoze also smiled and replied: "Yes!"
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "I want to, too."
The two people looked at each other sharply!
If looks could kill, they would have shot each other to bits by now.
What Tang Zheng asked and what Lan Shaoze answered was actually not about the dagger, but... the other person's life!
Lan Shaoze wants Tang Zheng's life, but unfortunately, Tang Zheng is also very interested in Lan Shaoze's life.
When Tang Boyuan noticed this, his eyelids twitched again.
Lan Shaoze's killing intent towards Tang Zheng was a little too strong, wasn't it? And Tang Zheng's response to Lan Shaoze was a little too intense, wasn't it?
"Although you sincerely want to buy it, this dagger is not made for you!" Tang Zheng looked at Mo Feng again.
"Oh?" Lan Shaoze smiled, "Why?"
"A good sword goes with a hero!" Tang Zheng pointed at Mo Feng and said, "This dagger of mine was made for the bet with Bai Lian Fang, so it was forged for Bai Lian Fang. I... will give it to Master Mo Feng!"
The guests who didn't know the value of the dagger didn't have any special reaction.
But when Mo Feng and his apprentice heard this, they were so shocked that they almost fell off their chairs.
Are you kidding?
deliver!
Although this dagger is only a one-star dagger, its cost is as high as several hundred taels of purple gold!
Moreover, Tang Zheng gave more than just a dagger.
Mo Feng could already see that this dagger contained new technology that he had never heard of before. Wasn't Tang Zheng's move a bit too big?
"Hahaha." Tang Boyuan clapped his hands. "A good sword goes with a hero! What a great saying! A good sword goes with a hero!"
"A good sword goes with a hero..." Mo Feng chewed over this sentence deeply. Isn't this an accurate ?
However, Mo Feng is not the kind of person who takes advantage.
On the one hand, he felt embarrassed to accept such a big gift from Tang Zheng, but on the other hand, he was very interested in the technique on the dagger, which made him even more conflicted for a moment.
Lan Shaoze's expression changed slightly, but he didn't get angry. He just smiled lightly and prepared to turn around and leave.
It is enough that Lan Shaoze dares to come to today's "Dagger Appraising Conference".
Regardless of whether he really wanted to buy this dagger or not, and regardless of whether he could buy it or not, he had already returned the provocative "gift" of the invitation!
But just as he turned around, Tang Zheng laughed again: "If you really want to buy it, I can help you make another one..."
Lan Shaoze turned around unexpectedly: "You? Forge another one?"
"But you probably can't afford or use the dagger I forged!" Tang Zheng smiled with his eyes narrowed.
"Hahaha..." Lan Shaoze laughed, "A one-star dagger, is it possible that I can't afford it or use it?"
"Then, the same dagger is priced at one thousand taels of purple gold. Please pay the deposit first?" Tang Zheng quoted.
Lan Shaoze's expression suddenly became mysterious: "A thousand taels of purple gold? Haha, hahaha... If you don't dare to sell it, you can just say it directly. There is no need to offer such a mysterious price..."
But he hadn't finished speaking yet.
Mo Feng's voice came from behind Tang Zheng: "Worth it!"
A thousand taels of purple gold!
value!
He was not taking sides, he was just telling the truth, because just now he discovered that the outermost layer of the dagger was actually a layer of coating that was baked on at the last moment!
No, to be precise, it might be more than a thousand taels of purple gold...
Whether it is the new technology of the running-in structure or the new technology of this layer of coating, it is worth far more than a thousand taels of purple gold!
Lan Shaoze's ridicule of Tang Zheng was directly blocked by Mo Feng's words, choking him so much that he almost rolled his eyes.
What else can he say?
Do you really want to spend a thousand taels of purple gold to buy a one-star broken dagger?
Although he is arrogant, he is not an idiot.
"See you later." Lan Shaoze just said politely, without saying anything else, he turned around and left with a smile.
On the second floor of Wufeng Tavern, the banquet was still going on and both the guests and hosts were having a great time.
The reputation of Tangjiabao was unmatched for a while, and many of the invited shop owners took the initiative to come over and try to get close to Tang Boyuan and his friends...
There was a cool night breeze at the door on the first floor.
A Lan family servant came up with a horse, put a cloak on Lan Shaoze, and asked, "Mr. Lan, are we going back to Yinlan Villa now?"
Lan Shaoze turned his head and took a quiet look at the second floor. It took him a long time to get on his horse: "No, let's go find Xu Qingyan first."
The Lan family servant looked at the sky and was stunned: "Now...now? Isn't it too late to discuss things with Master Xu now?"
Normally at this time, Xu Qingyan would not see anyone except the ancestor of Yinlan Villa.
However, Lan Shaoze clenched his fist, nodded and insisted on his arrangement: "I underestimated the enemy. If we wait any longer... this kid will become a serious threat to us!"
