Tang San First Meets Prince Xue Beng and Reaches a Cooperative Relationship with the Royal Family
According to the rules of large auction houses, successful buyers need to go to the transfer room in the backstage in person to make the final settlement of "pay with one hand and deliver with the other hand".
As the person in charge of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi got up first and went to the secret room to retrieve the Catwoman. Before leaving, he gave Gu Tian a thoughtful look and signaled him to wait here.
The guests in the hall gradually dispersed, and the remaining tension in the air also faded. Gu Tian and Xue Qinghe sat side by side, neither of them taking off their masks.
"Brother Gu Tian, I'm really sorry." Xue Qinghe turned his head, with a hint of sincere apology in his tone, "I originally wanted to buy some gifts for you today, but I thought they were just to supplement your congratulatory gift for enrolling in Emperor Class. That piece of Dark Demon Evil God Tiger just now E's Soul Bone, I thought it was a rare treasure at first, and I wanted to get it for you, but I never thought it was a bone carrying the curse of death. To be on the safe side, I didn't take action, and I hope brother Gu Tian won't take the blame."
Hearing this, Gu Tian just smiled casually, waved his hand and said, "Brother Qinghe is too polite. If you have this intention, I will accept it. Soul Bone is all about fate. Besides, this kind of evil Soul Bone is really not suitable for me."
Gu Tian paused, as if he had gone through some tangles, then lowered his voice and said at a volume that only two people could hear, "Actually...Qinghe, brother, you don't have to worry about me. To tell you the truth, I'm pretty lucky now, and my left and right arm bones are all complete now."
"What?!"
Even though Xue Qinghe's concentration was astonishing, he couldn't help but scream out in surprise at this moment, and a flash of extreme shock flashed in his pale golden eyes.
Double Soul Bone? In this era when most Soul Master can't even see the shadow of Soul Bone, a seven-year-old child has actually fused two pieces?
Gu Tian didn't seem to intend to completely hide it, but he still weaved a half-truth and half-false lie without changing his expression. "Actually, it was also a coincidence. My left and right arm bones happened to be acquired while hunting the first two Soul Ring It dropped from Soul Beast. One has the attribute Ultimate Fire, and the other has the attribute Ultimate Ice. They are both about a thousand years old. Although the age is not high, the advantage is that the attributes match mine."
Xue Qinghe's face relaxed slightly under the mask. A thousand-year-old Soul Bone? To an ordinary Soul Master, it might be a treasure, but to a young master Spirit Hall or a prince of a country, it really does not reach the level of a threat.
She quickly regained her composure, with a trace of unconcealed admiration in her tone. "Although a thousand-year-old Soul Bone is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the strong, you can explode two pieces in the first two Soul Ring. Brother Gu Tian, your luck is really favored by God. Qinghe learned a lesson today."
After a while, Ning Fengzhi led the retrieved Catwoman back. The girl was still curled up, with a slender cold iron chain around her neck, and her eyes were full of cowardice. Gu Tian stepped forward, and in the girl's frightened eyes, he handed over the key from the auction house and opened the shackles that bound the girl.
"Don't be afraid, just follow me." Gu Tian touched Catwoman's trembling white ears, her voice a little gentler.
Then, Gu Tian turned around and asked Catwoman where she lived. After learning that her home was in a slum in the northern suburbs of Heaven Dou City, and that there was an elderly mother at home, Gu Tian pondered for a moment and then told the story Entrusted to Ning Fengzhi: "Uncle Ning, this girl has a rough life. Can you arrange for the servants of the sect to take her back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for resettlement? Giving her a place to shelter from wind and rain can also be considered as a guarantee."
Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement, naturally he would not refuse such a small matter.
When everyone was about to leave the hall, Xue Qinghe caught a glimpse of Prince Xue Xing not far away, and took the initiative to go over and say hello.
"Uncle, you look very satisfied with those two pieces Hidden Weapon?" Xue Qinghe smiled warmly.
Prince Xue Xing caressed the heavy Godly Zhuge Crossbow in his hand, with a hint of the sharpness of a veteran military veteran in his eyes. "It's really good. Although the single-target damage is limited, the advantage is that the attack is sudden and has excellent penetrating power. Qinghe, do you know who made this thing?"
"If Qinghe remembers correctly, it should be Shrek Academy's child named Tang San." Xue Qinghe told the truth. In his opinion, there was nothing to hide. Even if he didn't tell it, with his identity as Xue Xing, he would definitely be able to find out.
Prince Xue Xing's eyes moved slightly, nodded, and said goodbye to Xue Qinghe. He quickly found Tang San who had just received the auction proceeds.
"Tang San, little friend." Prince Xue Xing got straight to the point, with a kind of majesty and temptation from a superior person in his tone, "The designs of your two pieces Hidden Weapon are extremely exquisite. I plan to Purchase in large quantities to equip Heaven Dou Empire's elite army. If applied to the battlefield where the two armies are confronting each other, this will definitely become a surprise weapon. I wonder if you are interested in making a big deal with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?"
This idea coincides with the Tang Sect's arms dealer plan planned in Tang San's mind.
"Greetings to the Prince. What the Prince said is exactly what Tang San thought." Tang San responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
Seeing Tang San's interest, Prince Xue Xing showed a satisfied smile and immediately invited, "In that case, there are many people here. Please come to my prince's palace and let's discuss the details of cooperation in detail."
Tang San said a brief farewell to Flender and others, and then followed Prince Xue Xing onto the carriage.
After a while, the inner garden of the Prince's Mansion. The Prince's Mansion is not inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, but on a mountain range slightly north of Heaven Dou City. The view here is excellent. Looking down from the Prince's Mansion, you can overlook the entire scenery of Heaven Dou City.
Tang San followed Xue Xing into the main hall, only to find a young man sitting next to the main seat. The young man was similar in age to Dai Mubai, and his clothes were luxurious but seemed a bit loose. His eyes showed the impetuousness and confusion unique to a playboy, and he was playing with the wine glass in his hand out of boredom.
"Be honest and don't lose etiquette in front of distinguished guests." Xue Xing scolded the young man, then turned to Tang San and explained, "This is His Majesty's fourth son, Prince Xue Beng. You are similar in age, so we may have many intersections in the future."
Tang San looked at the idiot prince who had a good reputation and was doing nothing all day long, without showing any contempt. He bowed slightly and saluted, then suppressed all unnecessary emotions, sat down at Xue Xing's signal, and officially started the secret negotiation to change Heaven Dou's ordnance pattern.
Opposite Tang San, Xue Beng, who seemed drunk, had a sharp flash of light behind his lowered eyes, and then quickly disappeared.
Tang San and Prince Xue Xing sat opposite each other. Xue Xing personally made tea for Tang San. On the table were some pictures about A simple sketch of the structure of Hidden Weapon. During an hour-long in-depth conversation, the two parties reached a preliminary consensus on the purchase quantity of Hidden Weapon, the confidentiality agreement for core components, and the disbursement process for the first batch of military expenditures.
Prince Xue Xing looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes full of unconcealed admiration. "Tang San, little friend, your calmness and talent far exceed your age. Heaven Dou Empire If the armored cavalry can be worthy of such killing The machine will definitely give White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire a three-point headache. I will transfer the first deposit to the Shrek Academy through secret channels within three days, and you only need to concentrate on the process supervision."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Tang San nodded slightly and put away the drawings.
Just when Tang San was about to stand up and say goodbye, Prince Xue Beng, who had been sitting slumped on the side with his drunken eyes, suddenly put down his wine glass. He stood up unsteadily, and when his originally distracted eyes passed over Tang San, there was an extremely subtle meaning.
"Brother Tang San." Xue Beng spoke, with a hint of cynical drunkenness in his voice, but his tone was very low, "We are talking here today about... business. I think you are a smart man and you should know what to say and what to keep in your stomach."
Tang San stopped and looked back at the prince with a bad reputation. "Xue Beng What does the prince mean?"
Xue Beng chuckled, walked up to Tang San, and said in an almost whispering voice, "Especially... my perfect elder brother, the current prince Xue Qinghe. Don't let him know a word about this matter."
Tang San's heart suddenly moved, but his face still maintained the calmness of Gujing: "I understand that I, an outsider, have no interest in interfering with the internal affairs of the royal family. Cooperation only exists between you and me and the prince."
Xue Beng patted Tang San on the shoulder, showing a childish expression. Then he stumbled back to his seat and continued to play with his drinking utensils, as if the moment of sobriety had never occurred.
After walking out of the Prince's Mansion, the cool night breeze blew away the last distracting thoughts in Tang San's mind.
"Xue Beng and Xue Qinghe... As expected, as Boss Dai said, brothers don't get along." Tang San walked on the quiet long street, thinking secretly in his heart, "Xue Qinghe's current situation is extremely stable, even Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Ning Fengzhi and Gu Tian are both very close to him. If I choose to attach myself to Xue Qinghe, I am destined to become only an icing on the cake, and may even be marginalized because of Gu Tian's exclusion. But Xue Beng is different..."
Tang San's mouth curved into a cold arc.
Although Xue Beng's current situation is humble and even funny, it is precisely the best disguise. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since Gu Tian has chosen the rising prince, he must plant a secret inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Family that can overturn the chessboard.
"A stable source of funds, plus a prince ally who is eager to stand up." Tang San clenched his fists and looked into the distance, "With this, maybe there is hope for the revival of the Tang Sect!"
