Chapter 54 City-Linking Jade, Rare Gemstone
Within the business alliance.
The sound of horseshoes outside the building rang out, galloping forward, with great momentum.
The guard called out.
Everyone is quite curious.
But Chen Wang looked calm.
That was the treasure he had prepared, and now it has been escorted here, accompanied by thousands of Zhennan troops, safe and sound.
"Brother Zhuang Ming, you haven't finished your sentence yet..."
Chen Wang said indifferently: "This king is also very curious. As the largest trading firm in the sixteen prefectures of Huai'an, you have the most extensive business and the strongest financial resources. What kind of rare treasures do you want to present to the Holy One?"
Zhuang Ming looked normal, reached out his hand in his sleeve, and held down the young dragon's movement.
His heart was still throbbing, and his face gradually turned pale.
He has already sensed that this is caused by the young dragon's movement.
This young dragon is transformed by his Taiqing Qi, it is no different from himself, and when used, it is like an arm and a finger.
But at this moment, he had a movement similar to a twitching arm, which seemed to cause all internal organs to be affected.
And this young dragon is the arm that is twitching.
Zhuang Ming was shocked in his heart, but he still managed to control himself, keeping his expressions.
"There are quite a lot of treasures in Zhuang's treasury, but if you want to present them to the emperor, you must pick the best ones."
Zhuang Ming said calmly: "I have a piece of beautiful jade, which is priceless."
Chen Wang frowned, although he didn't speak, but the meaning was very obvious.
You say priceless, is priceless?
"Three hundred and sixty years ago, King You of the former dynasty was besieged by Emperor Zhou, and he offered this beautiful jade to Emperor Zhou, and Emperor Zhou got this precious jade, left King You a life, and bestowed three cities on him, making him the co-lord of the three cities, So this thing is priceless."
Zhuang Ming said slowly: "It is recorded in the history books, and you must have heard about it. Later, King You died of illness, and Emperor Zhou was defeated by the Taizu of the dynasty. He killed himself, Baoyu disappeared, and there was no news for hundreds of years."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Someone vaguely thought of something.
Someone is thinking hard.
"This legend... I have also heard about it." Someone hesitated.
"I heard that Emperor Taizu wanted to find this jade and create the jade seal of the Dongsheng Dynasty, but the jade disappeared without a trace."
"Is this legendary gem actually in the hands of Mister Thirteen?"
"If it's this jade, not to mention the Sixteen Mansions of Huai'an, but if you look at the entire Dongsheng Dynasty, this year's birthday gift is probably the best!"
"If the Taizu can't find it all, if you can present it to the emperor, Mr. Thirteen will probably receive the emperor's favor."
Some people's expressions changed, some people murmured, and some people's emotions fluctuated.
And Chen Wang couldn't help frowning.
He had not heard the legend.
But Zhuang Ming did not dare to speak nonsense.
No matter how daring Zhuang Ming was, he would not be able to pretend to be a treasure that was presented to the emperor.
If it is really this thing, if it is dedicated to the emperor, maybe Zhuang Ming will really be rewarded and bestowed with a seal.
But even if he didn't dare to swallow this treasure, he couldn't dedicate it to the emperor in the name of Zhuang Ming.
The more expensive it is, the more he likes it.
"Is there really such a priceless thing?"
"Don't you believe me, my lord?"
Zhuang Ming said calmly, "Back then Baoyu disappeared without a trace, but not long ago, we got the news that it cost 60,000 taels and lost many masters before we got it in an ancient tomb."
When I said this, it was once again convincing.
Chen Wang narrowed his eyes and shouted: "This thing is priceless. Taizu once wanted to use this thing to cast the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, but you got this thing and kept it secretly. What is your intention? Could it be that you want to rebel in vain?"
Zhuang Ming calmly said: "It was not long ago, but there was no way to present it to the emperor. Now that the prince is here, Zhuang will tell the public, hoping that the prince can present it to the emperor. This shows the sincerity of Zhuang's heart."
He was honest.
Because it is indeed recorded in the history books.
And he had seen it too.
This item is not in Zhuang's firm.
And in Jusheng Mountain.
"What a Mr. Thirteen, really rich in financial resources and infinite treasures."
King Chen suddenly laughed and said: "Although he is a private merchant, he is also rich as an enemy. I don't know how many treasures are there besides this one?"
After these words fell, everyone felt that there was still a deep meaning beyond what the prince said.
And many people looked at Zhuang Ming with complicated and fiery expressions.
Just as Chen Wang said, even such priceless treasures fell into the hands of Zhuang Ming, so how many treasures did this Mr. Thirteen of Zhuang's firm hide?
"It's not much. I will invite the prince back to visit. If there is something you like, no matter how much it is, you can take it."
Zhuang Ming said this with a smile, and then slowly said: "It's just that Zhuang is curious at the moment, I don't know what kind of treasure you, the prince, are going to give to the emperor this time?"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Everyone including Mr. Li looked solemn.
Chen Wang stared for a moment, feeling extremely displeased.
Zhuang Ming still couldn't figure out the gap between identities.
A mere merchant, what qualifications do you have to find out about the majestic prince?
Is this because, being put on by myself again, I feel unhappy, so I can run on it?
If this is the case, his Zhuang Ming's city mansion is too shallow.
At other times, even if King Chen didn't have to speak, someone would scold Zhuang Ming for his lack of respect.
But just now a businessman asked Chen Wang about the birthday ceremony, and Chen Wang showed a friendly and kind attitude, and answered it. Now Zhuang Ming is asking questions, and it is not easy to give a completely different response.
"This king has his own treasures."
With his hands behind his back, King Chen said, "My king has gone through a lot of hard work to find a sacred stone, which is comparable to the precious jade in your mouth. Although this object has no historical records, its miraculousness is unparalleled in the world."
Zhuang Ming heard the words, and said again: "What kind of sacred stone is so extraordinary?"
Chen Wang felt displeased, and murderous intent gradually appeared in his eyes.
Everyone also felt that Mr. Thirteen seemed a little ignorant today.
"It's not just Zhuang, who must be there, everyone is also curious."
Zhuang Ming smiled and said, "What's so different about this divine stone?"
Standing with his hands behind his back, King Chen said proudly: "This sacred stone is indestructible, even if it is cut by swords and soldiers, there will be no traces. It can illuminate objects at night, and it will not be invaded by water or fire. It also promotes the growth of vegetation. It has infinite mysteries."
"This sacred stone is placed in the courtyard, and in autumn and winter, it can make all kinds of flowers bloom and make the four seasons like spring."
"This sacred stone is placed in the night, and there is a precious light blooming. Within a meter, it is as bright as day."
"Put this sacred stone in water, and the water will flow out for a foot, so it cannot be soaked."
"Wearing this sacred stone on your body can boost your spirit, soothe your qi and blood, and prolong your life."
Speaking of this, she raised her head slightly, looked down at Zhuang Ming, and said calmly: "Compared to your precious jade, how should it be?"
When everyone heard the words, they all showed amazement.
"Is there really such a fetish in the world?" Mr. Li muttered to himself, his expression full of astonishment.
"My lord is truly blessed to have obtained this treasure." Someone said loudly immediately.
"From the point of view of a villain, if the prince has obtained such a treasure, he can still remember the emperor's grace and dedicate it to the current sage, which is even more loyal and loyal." Another person responded.
"This divine stone..."
Zhuang Ming showed a thoughtful look, and continued: "Can I let Zhuang Mou take a look?"
As soon as these words came out, the voices in the field suddenly froze.
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhuang Ming, as if they saw a lunatic who had no self-knowledge.
Chen Wang looked cold and did not speak.
But someone shouted: "Bold! What are you? This is the sacred stone dedicated to the current Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty has not seen it yet, and you are worthy of witnessing this treasure first?"
——
Zhuang Ming looked at the man, laughed immediately, looked at Chen Wang again, and said: "There is also an item in Zhuang's treasury. , leave only this thing.”
When Chen Wang heard the words, he was shocked suddenly, showing an expression of disbelief.
And everyone present felt incredible.
Does the thirteenth Mr. Zhuang's firm actually have such fetishes that the prince presented to the emperor?
"Zhuang's talent is poor, his knowledge is weak, it can be said that he has eyes but does not know the treasure. In the past, he only felt the magic, so he may not cherish it. Now, after hearing what the prince said, it suddenly dawned on him. Maybe Zhuang has this thing in his hand. The birthday gift with the prince is originally a gift. A pair, also can't say."
Zhuang Ming said seriously: "If you can really make a pair, wouldn't it be a great joy?"
This made everyone look at each other in blank dismay, feeling extremely weird.
Even Chen Wang's face changed slightly.
He knew that this item was miraculous and extremely rare, so he spent a lot of energy to get it.
I thought I could use this thing to please the emperor, so that even if there were any unfavorable remarks in the court later, it would be much eased.
But such a fetish, in his heart, should be unparalleled in the world.
Does Zhuang's firm actually have such a treasure?
Does a mere commercial firm really possess so many treasures?
But after thinking about it, Chen Wang found it ridiculous.
Even if Zhuang Ming really had this thing, how could he offer it for no reason?
