"Is this OK?" Xu Qiao took out something from his portable storage gourd and slapped it on the table with a 'bang!'.
Everyone looked over and saw that what Xu Qiao slapped on the table was actually a string of very old steel keys, with four carved runes from ancient times on them, and the light was flowing, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary thing.
Tang Xiao laughed silently and waved his hand at Xu Qiao impatiently: "Why did you give me the keys in your house? I am not interested in going to your house to pick up garbage! What's the mess? Get out of here and go cool!"
"Hmph! You idiot don't know anything! Open your dog's eyes and take a closer look at what this is!" Xu Qiao couldn't help but get angry when he heard Tang Xiao's words.
"Wow! The steel soldier! The last time in the palace martial arts competition, the emperor personally awarded the medium-grade magic weapon to Xu Zhuangyuan!" There were still some people who knew the goods and quickly recognized them.
The warriors of the Daming Dynasty will greatly increase their strength after possessing magic weapons. During the battle, they will refine a powerful magic weapon and even defeat warriors with a level one higher than their own.
However, magic weapons with slightly better grades are so expensive and rare that they are not affordable to ordinary warriors.
This piece by Xu Qiao is a string of ancient fine steel keys carved with runes of ancient times. It is a medium-grade magic weapon that can be used by human Yuan-level warriors. Although it is only a medium-grade magic weapon of human Yuan-level, it comes from the palace and its power is comparable to that of human Yuan-level high-grade magic weapon. After finding the right materials, the grade can be improved again.
Xu Qiao is currently a peak warrior at the third level of the Human Yuan level and will soon advance to the fourth level. Once he reaches the fifth level, he can start to drive the talisman to sacrifice this magic weapon. After refining and recognizing the master, this string of ancient rune steel keys will become four soldiers with iron helmets, iron armor, iron shields, copper and iron, more than ten feet tall, and can be easily attacked and defended against the enemy.
The current emperor Zhu Xi rewarded this middle-grade magic weapon of the Renyuan level to the top scholar of Wubi Xu Qiao in order to inspire him to work harder and become a pillar of the Daming Dynasty as soon as possible.
"How much is this thing worth?" Tang Xiao really didn't recognize this magic weapon, so he had to turn his head and ask Zhu Qian beside him.
"I don't know, it should be worth 1,000 taels, right?" Zhu Qian answered Tang Xiao very simply, but it was purely a fool.
When Xu Qiao and Qin Wu and his men heard the conversation between Tang Xiao and Zhu Qian, they immediately had the urge to kill him on the wall. Can you two guys Tang, Zhu be more idiotic?
Seeing that Zhu Qian didn't know anything, Tang Xiao had to call Mu Cang over. Mu Cang was shocked when he saw the string of fine steel keys and hurriedly came to Tang Xiao's ears.
"Young Master, this is a medium-grade magic weapon. A warrior at the fifth level of the human Yuan level can be sacrificed and refined. It is worth at least 30,000 taels of silver. Things that come out of the palace are of no price."
Although Tang Xiao was shocked, he pretended to be nothing, and then waved his hand to invite Mu Cang out.
"Do you want to use this bunch of keys instead of a bet with me?" Tang Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Qiao.
"Come on, don't come! Take out all your money today!" Xu Qiao knew that since Tang Xiao was willing to gamble, it means that he had learned the preciousness of his string of steel keys from Mu Cang just now.
"Tsk! It's useless if I win this thing. In the end, I have to send it to the auction house for money. It's already good to have a bet on your bet, otherwise you can exchange it for the money yourself and then come to me. That's it. I love to bet and don't bet! Don't waste my precious time picking up girls!" Tang Xiao waved his hand impatiently at Xu Qiao.
Xu Qiao was so angry that he trembled all over. If it weren't for the princes and princesses' face, and Mu Cang was guarding outside, he wouldn't help but want to attack Tang Xiao now.
Princess Yitai was angry again when she heard Tang Xiao's words. The decisive and indifferent martial arts genius Tang Xiao in the martial arts field, how could he become the original slutty young man so quickly?
Finally, with the persuasion of the scholars and princesses, Tang Xiao finally agreed to let Xu Qiao use the string of fine steel keys to two bets, which is 20,000 taels of silver.
"If Mr. Tang is reluctant to leave those silver notes, I can use this kind of thing to bet on something in Mr. Tang's hands." Xu Qiao suddenly brought it out to Tang Xiao.
"Oh? What do you want to bet on? Tell me." Tang Xiao knew what Xu Qiao wanted, and he was deliberately pretending to be confused now.
When things came to this point, Xu Qiao no matter what Tang Xiao bet, it was meaningless to Tang Xiao. Tang Xiao liked this medium-grade magic weapon, and he had to settle it.
"If I lose this game, this best magic weapon will be yours. If you lose, please immediately terminate the engagement with Princess Yitai and give her freedom!" When he said that, Xu Qiao's expression became extremely vicious and hatred.
Although Princess Yitai never agreed to Xu Qiao, and although all this was his wishful thinking, Xu Qiao thought that Princess Yitai must love him, so she was so disgusted with her engagement with Tang Xiao.
Princess Yitai didn't think about how the bet actually involved her in the end, which made her a little depressed, but she also wanted to know what her status in Tang Xiao's heart is now, and whether he would really bet on her as a bet.
"It's so touching! Unfortunately, I won't bet on Princess Yitai's engagement with you." Tang Xiao immediately answered Xu Qiao.
Tang Xiao's answer made Princess Yitai feel relieved. It seemed that this person surnamed Tang was not completely terrible and did not use her as a bet to bet with others, which means... he... still cares about her...
"If you win this game, I can consider losing the princess to you in the next game." Tang Xiao continued.
Princess Yitai, who was secretly proud of her heart, was about to spurt out her blood. Her eyes were filled with rage and she rushed over and was about to beat Tang Xiao. The two princes and Princess Jingle quickly grabbed her.
"You said, don't regret it!" Xu Qiao seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.
"It was my grandson who regretted it." Tang Xiao immediately swore and cursed.
The bet will be opened again and pick up the dice.
Shake the dice.
"Bang! Bang!" Two sounds, the dice tubes fell on the table one after another.
Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Princess Yitai is destined not to belong to him. Xu Qiao looked at the dice tube opened by the staff, and this time he was completely ashamed.
He lost by a little bit again.
After losing the more than 20,000 taels of silver raised by the scholars, he also lost the prize of the top martial artist, the steel key magic weapon. Xu Qiao's mind suddenly became blank. He had a premonition that he had caused a big disaster tonight. Sooner or later, his father Xingguo Hou would know about this matter. Once Xingguo Hou knew about it, he would inevitably be punished at home, and he would even be disqualified from inheriting the fief of the marquis!
"No! Return my magic weapon!" Xu Qiao suddenly lost control of his mind and suddenly swung his fist at Tang Xiao. The arrogance and elegance of the children of the previous nobles no longer existed in an instant.
This punch was filled with incomparable hatred. The top martial artist of the third-level Renyuan level, Xu Qiao, who was the last martial arts champion, was much more powerful than the punches produced by Princess Yitai.
Mu Cang had arrived at Tang Xiao at some point. He stretched out his hand and pulled Tang Xiao behind him, and took Xu Qiao's punch with his erect chest.
Mu Cang's powerful protective energy suddenly shook Xu Qiao's body backwards, and hit the wall of the private room heavily and then landed on the ground. Xu Qiao covered his chest and squirted blood.
Today was like a nightmare for him, both losing and losing money. Not only did Princess Yitai not rescued the "fire pit", but all the money was lost, and the reward of the top scorer in martial arts was also given up. The beauty was close at hand but hard to reach. The enemy was right in front of him but could not take revenge. Xu Qiao was completely disappointed at this moment.
The soldiers in the private room had long been used to this scene and immediately surrounded him and brought the injured Xu Qiao out.
