Chapter 52 Sword and Gamble
"sure."
Merced didn't care.
He took out the treasured sword from his waist, held the handle in his right hand, and pulled it out with a swipe. Keng! The moment the treasured saber was unsheathed, a cold light shot out, circling the entire room, and even the temperature dropped.
The whole room suddenly fell silent, and Wei Hao's expression changed suddenly.
This treasured sword is even more powerful than what he saw in his father Wei Guogong!
This rambunctious Merced is not lying, he is indeed holding a famous knife. This kind of cold air is by no means comparable to ordinary swords.
I'm afraid that the whole Middle Earth can't compare much.
"Give!"
Merced handed the knife over.
"Good knife!"
Wang Chong was not polite, he took the famous sword from Merced's hand and looked at it carefully. Since his rebirth, this is the first time he has seen Tiaozhi's famous sword.
Unlike the Middle Earth, the Middle Earth respects the sword, but Dashi and Tiao Dao seem to be particularly advocating the sword. Moreover, the shape of their knives is completely different from the knives in the Middle Earth. First of all, they are not long, only more than one foot, and the blade has a huge arc shape, like a crescent moon in the sky.
Wang Chong didn't know if this was related to the worship of the moon by Caliphate and Tiaozhi.
Merced's famous knives are very sharp, and it can be seen that they have been tempered and carefully handled. "When a leaf falls, you know the meaning of autumn." From the casting of this sword, it can be seen that the sword forging of Western Dashi and Tiaozhi is indeed very high, and in some aspects, it is much higher than that of Middle Earth.
Huh, Wang Chong's wrist flicked, and the cold light passed. In the box, a corner of the table made of hard sandalwood immediately fell silently.
The corner of the table fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
"Good knife!"
Wang Chong praised. Beside him, Wei Hao's expression changed.
Wang Chong held the sword in both hands, danced around, and returned the famous sword.
"Mr. Merced, let's change the rules. Since it's a comparison of swords, there should be rules for comparison. If you can beat me, I'll pay you whatever the price of my sword is. And if you lose,...I don't want you to lose the price of a sword, 1200 taels of gold!"
"Wei Hao, there are still people coming to provoke me in the future, so I won't be able to see them all. Just follow this rule!"
"Wang Chong!—"
Wei Hao was shocked. At first glance, this Moside's knife is not ordinary. He just wanted to remind Wang Chong not to agree, but he did not expect Wang Chong to put forward such strict conditions.
"Hahaha, good!"
Merced was overjoyed. No matter what conditions Wang Chong proposed, as long as he agreed, 1,200 taels of gold was nothing at all. Most of the businessmen are wealthy and have been doing business for generations. As long as they can reach their destination, they really don't care about this "little money".
Moreover, Wang Chong's conditions are obviously in his favor. If he loses, he doesn't need to compensate him, but if he wins... Merced has not met anyone who can beat him for a long time.
Merced wished that Wang Chong could win so he could buy a better sword!
"However, there is one more thing, I can't have a sword test with you right now. If you want to compete, you have to wait until the seventh day!"
Wang Chong said.
"No problem, just a small matter!"
Merced laughed,
I don't care. As long as Wang Chong can agree, what does it mean to wait for seven days:
"By the way, there is one thing I am curious about. When I came in, I saw a huge iron mountain at your gate. I don't know what it is for? We have never had this situation before."
"Hehe, after seven days, you will naturally know."
Wang Chong smiled, left this sentence, turned around and left.
"By the way, if you don't mind, before our official game, I want to hang my katana in this room, is that okay?"
Before taking a few steps, Merced's voice suddenly came from behind, and there was a hint of cunning in his voice. In Shang Yanshang, he came to Middle-earth not only to test swords!
Wang Chong let out a grin, and it was exactly as he had imagined. These big food and sword merchants would not miss the opportunity to promote themselves whenever they had the opportunity.
But Merced didn't know that, but his thoughts were right on his own.
Wang Chong just wanted him to do this.
"Can!"
Leaving these words behind, Wang Chong shook off his steps and left the box.
...
"Wang Chong, you're crazy! Do you know that this will cause big problems."
When he came out of the room, Wei Hao hurriedly chased after him, looking furious.
"According to the price of the sword, do you know how much it is? 2,400 taels! No, it's 4,800 taels! You can only earn half of the money you win, but you have to lose if you lose. So much. What the hell do you think?"
"I don't know if the 90,000 taels of gold from Hyderabad's ore can be gathered together. The 1,700 taels of gold from the Eight Gods Pavilion will be delivered in a month. Now you are making these again - this is going to cause a big disaster for the family. Yes!"
Wei Hao's face flushed with anxiety.
Wang Chong tried Merced's knife, and the knife was sharper than the one his father kept. Wang Chong clearly saw the power of the other party, but he still agreed. Wei Hao couldn't think of it.
This time, I promised Wang Chong to help him bring the Uzi steel sword to Qingfeng Building to sell it. I also wanted to do my brother a favor and help him make some money.
The two were brothers who grew up together, and it was impossible for him not to help with this kind of thing.
But Wei Hao didn't expect such a simple thing to become like this. If it goes wrong, Wang Chong will not only fail to make any money, but will also cause trouble for the Wang family and accompany him with a large amount of money.
And he is one of the accomplices!
For the first time, Wei Hao felt regret!
"... Besides, what do you mean by following this rule? If there are more people like this, do you know how much money you will have to pay!"
As long as Wei Hao thinks about Wang Chongli's rule, his heart will burn.
"Don't worry, he can't win!"
Wang Chong said lightly.
"Do you know...what? What did you just say?"
Wei Hao said in a daze.
"I said he couldn't win!"
Wang Chong smiled and repeated it again.
Wei Hao stared blankly at Wang Chong and was speechless. He was originally full of anger, but when he heard this, all his anger was immediately vented.
"He can't win?"
Wei Hao couldn't believe it. He had just seen the sharpness of the knife in the box with his own eyes.
"Um."
Wang Chong said lightly, with a sense of confidence in his expression. This is self-confidence and self-confidence in the Uzi steel sword!
Wei Hao was stunned for a while. He had a thousand words in his heart, but in front of Wang Chong's domineering and arrogant words, he couldn't say it all at once.
He didn't know where Wang Chong had such confidence, yet he dared to boast that he would definitely win.
He felt that Merced's famous knife for himself. It was a real top knife. It was suffocating and sharp.
Just looking at it, I am afraid you will have nightmares at night!
The reason why he always wanted to remind Wang Chong to push it away was also for this reason. Although Wang Chong's sword was not bad, to be honest, Wei Hao didn't have a clue at all.
"Can you really win?"
Wei Hao hesitated.
"certainly."
Wang Chong showed a smile, full of confidence.
He wasn't a fool. When he just took over the machete, he deliberately tried it, and quietly tapped the tip of the blade with his little finger.
The opponent's famous knife is indeed sharp, but the steel of the blade is of ordinary quality, not comparable to the Hyderabad ore at all. Moreover, of the three craftsmanship of casting swords, the other party has only understood one or two at most.
From this point, Wang Chong could judge that the black-clothed Dashi and Tiaozhi's swordsmith masters probably still had a lot of gaps compared to him.
At least for a few years, they will never catch up.
With this kind of craftsmanship, it is absolutely impossible to compare to his own Uzi steel weapon.
"I believe you!"
Wei Hao was defeated. I don't know why, every time I clearly feel that Wang Chong's actions are wrong, but seeing his confident appearance, Wei Hao can't say anything against it, and he is always easily persuaded.
"But you don't need to push the money out. Gambling should be equal. These merchants have money anyway. Why are you polite to them? Wouldn't it be better for him to directly lose a few thousand taels of gold?"
Wei Hao couldn't help complaining when he remembered the last thing.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. It's called bridging the gaps and attracting jade..."
Wang Chong patted Wei Hao on the shoulder. He is not stupid, but has a bigger plan. A few thousand taels of gold can't make you rich, and Merced's few thousand taels of gold alone can't make a fortune.
As long as the market for Uzi steel weapons can be established, Wang Chong can earn a fortune that can be compared with a little bit of luck in sword fighting.
"I'm leaving! The matter here is left to you. Wei Hao, remember, if there is such a thing in the future, just do it according to the situation today."
After Wang Chong finished speaking, he greeted the two poisonous monks who were drinking tea outside, and then left.
Wang Chong didn't want too many people to know about Qingfenglou's sword sale. As for Merced, this skilled swordsman couldn't even speak the language of Middle-earth, so how could he know who he was.
Wang Chong left with his front foot, and the price on the back door of Qingfeng Tower doubled to 4,800 taels. And Merced's treasured sword was also hung on the door of Qingfeng Building.
This is the first time in three days that another sword has been hung on the Qingfeng Tower.
And judging from the shape of the weapon, this is not even a middle-earth sword, but an authentic treasured sword!
This novel change attracted everyone's attention almost immediately.
And when the content of the sword fight between Wang Chong and Merced was exposed, the whole thing caused a sensation that even Wang Chong could not have expected.
"The No. 1 Sword in the World", "The first head-to-head confrontation between Middle Earth and Tiaozhi and Dashi Sword", "The No. 1 Sword of the Tang Dynasty Gamble"..., all kinds of news of this kind are flying all over the sky.
There are a lot of merchants in the Middle-earth and Caliphate, but everyone sticks to the rules. This kind of confrontation between Eastern and Western weapons is the first time in the Tang Dynasty.
The whole thing immediately attracted a lot of attention!
"Humph! A guy who doesn't know where he came from, can also represent the sword of the Tang Dynasty?"
When the news spread to several major sword-casting families, the Cheng family was the first to sit still. Several major sword-casting families are polite on the surface, but in private everyone is holding back a breath of anger, wanting to surpass other sword-casting families and compete for the title of "the best sword in the world".
It's just that no one expected that this time, an "unknown person" who came from an unknown source would be the first to come out on top.
Regarding the matter of Qingfenglou, several major sword-casting families originally unified their positions, and such trivial matters should not be ignored at all. But now everything is suddenly completely different.
Regardless of whether the guy in Qingfenglou is willing or not, when this incident came out, he has already been crowned with the title of "the first sword in the world" representing the entire Middle-earth Divine Continent. This is intolerable for several major families. .
