Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.
Chapter 17 Abandoning the Knife
She knew the knife.
This is an old friend’s personal weapon, how did it end up here?
And the cracks are still there, obviously it has gone through a fierce battle with its owner. Since the knife is here, then the person...
It must be a bad thing.
She just felt a little bit sad. After a few years, did that person eventually disappear in the desert?
"Miss, you know what's good. This knife is not simple." The foreign woman turned around and walked to the counter to take it out. She placed it directly on the counter without even a blanket.
"Look, this is a mark left by a craftsman from the distant Sira Dynasty. It has a history of at least a hundred years. The owner of the knife took good care of it. If it hadn't been for a world-shattering war, there wouldn't be any cracks on it."
The woman pointed out the marks on the hilt and said, "A knife that has seen blood is the sharpest. The gemstone on the hilt is also intact. Not to mention the knife, the gemstone alone must be worth a lot of silver."
Lou Xiao didn't say anything. It seemed like he listened, but he was actually staring at the marks on the handle of the knife.
If she remembered correctly, there should be two words "Heile" written in Seravine.
Seeing that Lou Xiao seemed to have listened to her sales pitch, the foreign woman continued, "It's also good for you to collect it. The original owner of the knife is not an ordinary person. It's also a fate for you to keep it."
Lou Xiao was amused when he heard the word "fate" in Chinese with an accent.
She asked calmly, "Do you know its original owner? Who is he? Why not tell me about it?"
How could the foreign woman know that she had obtained the goods by chance and had put them on display for a long time without being noticed by anyone. Most people in Xiyun City were experts from the same ethnic group and everyone knew who knew whom.
She had finally got a customer who looked wealthy, so she had to rip him off.
Aligun had no experience, and he knew that one hundred taels would not be enough for these male and female customers who obviously had no shortage of money.
She said perfunctorily, "There are countless masters in the depths of Mobei, and I can't tell you who they are... Let's be friends, just call me Yunzhu, and you can take the three hundred taels of silver."
Without even looking up, Lou Xiao repeated, "Three hundred taels."
"You don't think it's expensive, do you? This is the price for a famous sword. Miss, you better hurry up. You won't have another chance to get a famous sword from Mobei in the Central Plains!"
If Aligun was as dull as an ox, then Yunzhudoma was a cunning fox. Unfortunately, she underestimated the person in front of her.
She only looked at Lou Xiao's clothes and thought she was rich and wealthy, but she couldn't tell the identity behind her clothes.
"Heh..." Lou Xiao glanced at her, then turned to ask Li Huaiqing who was walking in, "Can you help me see if it's worth three hundred taels of silver?"
Li Huaiqing, who was in a low mood, barely maintained his composure. He was not afraid of Yunzhudoma's warning look at all. He commented on the knife with just one glance.
"The knife was indeed made by a craftsman from the Sira Dynasty, but the pattern on it does not leave any marks of the craftsman. It is of ordinary origin and should have been made by an ordinary craftsman. In addition,"
He looked at the name worn off the handle and the barely perceptible crack in the gemstone.
“It has been badly damaged, and now it only looks intact. It won’t be long before the gemstones on it shatter into pieces and cannot be repaired.
All the famous swords in Mobei have their owners, so it is impossible for them to fall into your hands.
What we see now is nothing more than a discarded sword of a defeated master, which may have been buried in the desert for some time and was found by someone by chance. "
How could he be afraid of a little barbarian woman?
Li Huaiqing looked at Yunzhu Duoma with a mocking look.
"The boss is so brave to resell the weapons of the dead in Mobei in the capital."
Yunzhudoma sneered, "How can you, a useless man who doesn't know any martial arts, be qualified to evaluate a good sword? Your fingers have never even grasped a weapon to kill people, and you have never felt the thrill of hot blood flowing through your palms!"
She came from a tough ethnic group on the grasslands and had been fighting since she was a child. Tall and strong men were considered beautiful in the tribe. She couldn't stand the pale and thin appearance of men from the Central Plains.
Although Li Huaiqing came from an extraordinary family and was not actually thin, people at that time pursued a sense of elegance, and Li Huaiqing wore loose clothes. In her eyes, how was he different from those scholars who chattered and talked nonsense?
Yunzhu was already respecting him very much for daring to look her in the face without dodging - if he didn't say anything.
When had Li Huaiqing ever been insulted like this?
In his education, all foreign races are uncivilized barbarians who have no sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame.
His Majesty has shown mercy and allowed them to enter the capital. Instead of bowing their heads and admitting their ignorance, they actually dare to look down on him?
Li Huaiqing was angry but did not lose his mind. "No matter how much you insult me, it cannot change the fact that this knife is worthless. There are many talented people in the capital, and this is not a place you can fool around with.
Your Majesty's birthday is approaching. It is a serious crime to bring weapons into the city privately. Have you reported this to Xiyun City? You are doing business in Xiyun City, so you should abide by the rules."
Yunzhu raised her eyebrows and was about to slam the table in anger, but Lou Xiao reached out and pressed her palm on the counter, stopping Yunzhu's anger and whispered, "Boss, you can't have a good temper when you're doing business this big."
Lou Xiao looked graceful, but Yunzhu felt as if there was a heavy weight on her palm and she couldn't pull her hand away.
Her eyes also changed. She had thought that she only knew a little bit of martial arts and could suppress the opponent, but now it seemed that she had met a tough guy.
The people of the grassland only obey the strong. Her attitude softened. "Don't be offended, Miss. It's Yunzhu who doesn't know etiquette. How about this? Two hundred taels will be fine. I'll send it to your house?"
Li Huaiqing thought to himself, he wanted to see if this barbarian woman dared to send the knife to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
But Lou Xiao didn't give him the chance to watch the show. She withdrew her hand into her sleeve and prepared to leave.
"There are hundreds of stores in Xiyun City. This is just the beginning. I am not in a hurry. If the boss is not sincere in doing business, then forget it. Let's go around first."
Under her gaze, Yunzhu put her hands behind her back and gently rubbed them to relieve the discomfort caused by Lou Xiao's pressure.
"Then please do as you please. But I, Yunzhu, can guarantee that you will never find such a good knife again."
Li Huaiqing looked at Yunzhu quietly, then walked out the door behind Lou Xiao. The peculiar smell outside the door made him frown and he raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeves. Lou Xiao turned around and saw him.
She said with a smile, "If you can't stand it, go back. You are from a high-class family, so you must have never been to such a place."
"It's not easy to get the young lady's invitation, so I have to accept it even if I can't." He put down his hand and raised his eyebrows, "If it weren't for me, these foreign merchants in Xiyun City would probably eat the young lady alive.
How can I let you face it alone if you dare to use a discarded knife to deceive you? "
He walked up to Lou Xiao and said, "Miss, is the person you are sending a gift to a martial artist? Although the Mobei sword is good, it is not as strong as the martial arts of the Central Plains. It is said that a good sword has been produced in Nanpu County recently, which can cut iron like mud. How about finding it for you?"
Lou Xiao was distracted for a while, and when he mentioned the "good sword", he suddenly asked, "Where? Nanpu County?"
