Chapter 1779 Beizhou is the best

After the capital verification was completed, the three people left.

Xie Fu knew what the old gentleman wanted to say just now. This was also Xiao Yu'er's doubt. The only shop in the world that can store money is the same as the one in the world.

But they were all about depositing money and taking out tickets, but Xie Fu just wrote it down directly.

Xiao Yuer asked: "Could these deposit receipts of yours be stolen?"

Xie Fu said with a smile: "You may be able to steal deposit checks that have not been sealed. You can steal deposit checks that are not sealed. This is my credit in Tonghui Tianxia. I still have 1.8 million."

Xiao Yuer was dumbfounded and felt more and more that Xie Fu had a great background: "Who are you?"

Xie Fu said calmly: "Xiao Yu'er, don't pry."

The off-site auction continued, and Xie Fu waited patiently. He only wanted armor, but there were no more such items for auction.

Until a man walked to the center of the field with a plan, and what he presented on the case was an arrow.

Xie Fu stood up suddenly: "Armor-piercing arrow!"

Xie Fu secretly built a team of golden-armored cavalry, with the heavy cavalry being a golden dragon and the light cavalry being a silver phoenix. The silver phoenix section held an armor-piercing bow, and the arrows it shot were armor-piercing arrows that could penetrate armor.

As for the armor-piercing bow and armor-piercing arrow, no other family in the world except the Su family of Jiancheng can make them.

Even Xie Fu was so moved, let alone the other bidders. There were crowds of figures in front of the bead curtain, and they were obviously as restless as Xie Fu. They all stood up and looked at the armor-piercing arrow on the plan.

Xie Fu is not very rare in weapons, but armor-piercing bows and armor-piercing arrows are different. These things can affect the outcome of a war, and the outcome of a war is related to the life and death of a country.

These armor-piercing arrows are not only of their own value, they are also linked to the fate of the country.

But I don’t know how many pieces the Su family has prepared. No matter how many, they will be the highlight of tonight’s auction.

Amid the great anticipation, Su Baozhen said loudly: "Three hundred thousand armor-piercing arrows, the starting price is one hundred thousand taels."

As long as it is armor-piercing arrow, it means that it is made by the Su family, and there is no need to say more.

For the bow, the stems are separated in winter, the horns are separated in spring, the tendons are treated in summer, and the three materials are combined in autumn.

To make a bow, you need to prepare materials in winter, boil beans in spring, heal tendons in summer, combine the three materials with glue, lacquer and silk in autumn, fix the bow body in winter, check whether the paint is peeling off, and string it again in the next spring.

It took years to complete a bow.

Therefore, a bow that can be used on the battlefield is worth about ten taels of silver.

In comparison, the value of an arrow is much cheaper, but there is a saying that one arrow is worth a pound of meat. The price of a pound of beef is between ten to fifteen dollars.

Normally, the value of 300,000 arrows is no more than 5,000 taels. If divided among 10,000 archers, it would only be 30 arrows per person, which is not enough to fight a big battle.

However, one arrow is worth a hundred arrows and cannot penetrate the enemy's armor. Even if it hits a hundred arrows, it cannot defeat the enemy.

Therefore, the value of these 300,000 armor-piercing arrows is approximately 500,000 taels.

But for determining the outcome of a war, its value cannot be measured by money.

Xie Fu needs this batch of arrows to prevent them from falling into the enemy's hands. He sighed deeply and said, "I am bound to get these armor-piercing arrows!"

Xiao Yu'er didn't respond, because in this moment, the bidding had reached 300,000 taels.

Three hundred thousand taels! Even if it was pulled by horse-drawn carriages, it would still cost twenty or thirty.

At this time, the bidders were enthusiastic, but it was far from the climax stage.

Because they don’t know the identity of the other party, they are just tentatively following the price.

Xie Fu was able to keep his composure and never bid. Since it was less than 500,000 taels, there was no need to follow the price.

When the bidding reached 500,000 taels, Xie Fu just looked at Xiao Yu'er. Of course, Xiao Yu'er did not have the financial resources to participate in this kind of bidding, but in terms of experience, she was much richer than Xie Fu.

Xiao Yu'er shook her head: "We haven't reached the point of following the price yet, so as not to let our opponents see through our details. They are all very experienced. They can capture your psychology if they shout fast or slow. If you don't show off, you are superior. Don't show off.

It’s expensive.”

Xie Fu smiled and said: "You have heard a saying - in the face of absolute strength, all tricks are in vain. But I still listen to you."

In a room on the third floor, when he heard that the bidding had reached 700,000 taels, Su Changning, who was pretending to be a businessman, had sweat dripping from his forehead. If he could not get these armor-piercing arrows, he would not even be qualified to send troops to help the pass.

None, the entire Huainan Army was wiped out, and all previous efforts in conquering the Hedong Road were in vain. How could he be worthy of Lu Tao and the 60,000 heroic souls of the Huainan Army?

Su Changning's open palms couldn't help but clench tightly, and there was a slight tremor while not moving at all. The two countries had been at war with Beidi and Xirong for half a year, and the national treasury was already empty. It was really impossible to get the money to shoot these armor-piercing arrows. It could be said that it was all in vain.

Lin Dingbo said calmly: "Master Su, if we can't get these armor-piercing arrows, the shuttle chain bows we ordered from the Su family won't be of use."

When he and Li Jingtang entered the Immortal and Demonic Array, they brought out an ancient divine bow and gave it to the Su family in Sword City to imitate. Although the Su family could not make an exact copy, they used the principle of elastic potential energy to create a bow with half the power.

.

Although the bow was imitated, new problems appeared. Ordinary arrows could not exert the power of this bow at all, and the arrows would even break immediately after the arrow was fired.

The armor-piercing arrows are engraved with spiral patterns and are much heavier than ordinary arrows, and can exert 20 to 30% more power.

Even if it is only 20% to 30% of the power, if it can be used on the battlefield, it will be a game-changer. Su Changning plans to use shuttle bows and armor-piercing arrows to deal with Beidi's ace cavalry.

Su Changning nodded and offered seven hundred and fifty thousand taels.

But such a heavy-sounding number was quickly drowned out by the sound of eight hundred thousand taels.

But the figure of 800,000 taels did not stay for long, and was replaced by 850,000 taels.

One raise is fifty thousand taels, which makes people feel that the silver is not silver, but just a number.

But it doesn't hurt unless you get cut by a knife. The bidders are frightened every time they bid, and their nervousness is no less than gambling.

Nine hundred thousand taels!

After Su Baozhen called out the number, she didn't speak any more and her mouth finally stopped for a moment. This meant that no one was following the price for the time being.

About thirty breaths later, Su Baozhen shouted the second nine hundred thousand taels.

The solemn atmosphere is like two swordsmen preparing to unsheath their swords, dividing life and death with one sword.

Another thirty breaths passed, and before Su Baozhen opened her lips and shouted out, another bid was made on the first floor, nine hundred and fifty thousand taels.

Su Baozhen quickly changed the number of nine hundred thousand taels in her mind: "Nine hundred and fifty thousand taels, seven rooms on the first floor."

One million taels!

It didn’t take long and someone quickly made a bid.

"One million taels, eight rooms on the third floor!"

The word "million" is like a decisive hit, enough to determine the winner.

Xie Fu secretly thought, it seems that most of the bidders have withdrawn from the bidding, leaving only three families competing for these armor-piercing arrows. Xie Fu felt that it was almost done, and said calmly: "Xiao Yu'er, show your sword!"

But he wanted to repeat his old tricks and shock everyone with lightning speed.

Xiao Yu'er looked troubled: "Yeah, I don't have a sword to draw."

Xie Fu looked at the empty jade tube: "What do you mean?"

"In order to prevent a certain bidder from using financial resources to disrupt the auction at the Su Family Auction, each person can only show his sword once."

"Thank you!" Su Baozhen shouted out "one million taels" for the third time.

Xie Fu said anxiously: "Quick, one million one hundred thousand taels!"

Xiao Yu'er quickly went to the brocade box to grab the jade chips. Seeing Xiao Yu'er in a hurry, Xie Fu was also anxious: "What are you doing with ten thousand taels? It's not enough to get ninety thousand taels of jade chips first."

At this time, Xie Fu discovered that all the jade chips added up were not enough for one million taels, and he was suddenly confused.

Fortunately, Su Baozhen slowly called out: "One hundred and fifteen thousand taels, seven rooms on the first floor."

This opening also gave Xie Fu a chance to breathe, and he quickly asked: "Xiao Yu'er, what's going on? The total of all the weapons and equipment is not enough for one million taels."

"Master, I forgot to tell you that as long as the price exceeds 550,000 taels, the silver chip represents ten thousand, the gold chip represents one hundred thousand, and the jade chip represents one million."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I didn't expect such a big battle tonight, and I haven't experienced any."

Xie Fu took a jade chip and a silver chip: "Isn't this one million and one hundred thousand? It almost made you miss the important event."

Xiao Yu'er lowered her head and Xie Fu said, "Okay, get ready. Regardless of whether anyone bids or not, prepare 1.2 million taels. We can't make any more mistakes."

The eight-bedroom apartment on the third floor quickly went for 1,150,000 taels.

Xie Fu said: "After two times, I bid 1.2 million taels."

When Su Baozhen called out the number 1,150,000 taels for the second time, Xiao Yuer took out the prepared utensils and handed them to the woman standing at the door.

"One million and two hundred thousand, twenty-seven rooms on the second floor."

Twenty-seven on the second floor, this is an impressive number. Not long ago, I showed my sword, which shocked other auctioneers and bought an old leather armor.

Those who dared to show off their swords at auctions were all wealthy. Unexpectedly, this man had just acquired an old leather armor and was planning to use armor-piercing arrows.

In the seventh room on the first floor.

Xue Yu said: "Miss, what is the origin of the bidder for the twenty-seventh room on the second floor?"

There are two competitors for these 300,000 armor-breaking arrows, the eight rooms on the third floor and the twelve rooms on the first floor. Behind the eight rooms on the third floor is Beidi, and behind the twelve rooms on the first floor is Xirong. Both have the financial resources of the entire country.

Support behind.

The twelve rooms on the first floor of Xirong behind it did not have enough financial resources, so they withdrew from the bidding at a high price of 850,000 taels.

Originally, Beidi was the only competitor, but suddenly another one appeared.

Looking at the world, even if Li Clan's financial resources can challenge a country, Ren Xue Yu is so knowledgeable and wise that no one can imagine who the big shot is in the twenty-seventh room on the second floor.

It would be understandable if he said it was Su Changning who represented the Grand View Country, but he had already found out that Su Changning was in Room 15 on the third floor. Could it be that Room 15 on the third floor was just a cover, and Room 27 on the second floor belonged to the Grand View Country?

A true spokesperson.

After all, just now, Liang Jian took a batch of old leather armors from Room 27 on the second floor. Who else is in urgent need of these things except the national army.

Li Huirong smiled lightly: "With so much money, who else can be the richest man in the world?"

Bai Yueqing said: "The richest man in the world? Huo Duan?"

Li Huirong did not say it clearly: "Huo Duan is only the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, and his financial resources are not as good as those of my Li family. How can he be called the richest man in the world."

"Who is the richest man in the world?"

Li Huirong looked at Bai Yue and said with a smile: "Mr. Bai, you Chunyu Enzhao, who knows everything about the world, is incompetent for your job."

Bai Yue smiled bitterly: "Miss, I am not a god. There are so many people in the world. There are always things I don't know. I hope you can give me some advice."

"Don't worry, let's finish shooting this armor-piercing arrow."

The eighth room on the third floor was offered another one hundred and twenty-five taels.

This time Li Huirong didn't wait too long and said, "The price is 1.26 million taels." She wanted to send a signal to the people in Room 27 on the second floor. It was up to her to see if this old friend could understand it.

When Xie Fu heard the number one hundred and twenty-six taels, he said, "Eh," since the price reached five hundred thousand, every bid has been raised by fifty thousand taels. Why is this suddenly such a high price of 1,250,000 taels?

Go up, only raise 10,000 taels.

Seeing Fu Xie being silent, Xiao Yu'er reminded him: "Master, it's 1.26 million, do you want to follow?"

"Wait a little longer and see if there are any grabs for the eighth room on the third floor."

As soon as he finished speaking, the price for the eight rooms on the third floor was 1.3 million taels, as if he was sure to win.

Fu Xie still didn't follow the price and waited for the response from Room 7 on the first floor. It wasn't until Su Baozhen called out the number 1,350,000 taels twice and was about to shout the third time that Fu Xie offered 1,350,000 taels.

The first and third floors were all watching, but the third floor finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted out 1.4 million taels.

Li Huirong quickly bid 1,410,000 taels, but only raised the price by 10,000 taels, which was the price on the third floor.

Since one million taels, every bid has been a move. Although it is invisible, it is sharper than a sword, and it hurts the bones, muscles, and veins of the country.

Hearing the number 1.41 million, Xie Fu pondered again. The first floor was sending him a signal. He only competed with the third floor, not with himself. He was a friend, not an enemy.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, this is a serious matter, and it is not good for him to trust the other party just because of his signal. Whether he is an enemy or a friend, he must first cooperate with the first floor to kill the third floor.

Xiao Yuer reminded: "Master, are you following?"

Xie Fu said: "Let the third floor bid first."

Xiao Yuer felt strange, how could she be so sure that the third floor would bid, and sure enough, after testing the second floor while waiting, the third floor bid 1.45 million taels.

Xie Fu quickly followed up on the price of 1,460,000 taels this time.

Li Huirong smiled: "The second floor already understands what I mean. Mr. Xue, could you please go to Room 27 on the second floor and tell the other party that the third floor will definitely show the sword, and don't follow me after reaching two million taels."

.”

When Fu Xie was secretly guessing who lived in the eighth room on the third floor and the seventh room on the first floor, an uninvited guest came. He looked middle-aged and had a scholarly air.

Although the Li family's Xia Yu Pardon Book is famous all over the world, many people don't even know the name of Xia Yu Pardon Book.

This shows that Xia Yushe Shushao was walking around in front of people and not many people saw him, while Xie Fu happened to have a relationship with Xue Yu at Yuchen Mountain.

Seeing Xue Yu, Xie Fu knew who was in the seventh room on the first floor. Who else could be there besides Li Huirong, the most famous person in Beizhou?

He and Li Huirong first met at the gate of Suzhou City. At that time, Li Huirong was rescuing people from disasters, and he was kind to him by giving him cakes. Later, he met Li Huirong in Yuchen Mountain, and he repaid this kindness and gained a little more friendship.

He had a pretty good impression of Li Huirong. She was a strange woman who was good at scheming for the overall situation and put her family, country, and country first.

Xie Fu looked at Xue Yu with a smile, and Xue Yu also looked at Xie Fu with a smile. He already knew who the other party was. No wonder he was so skillful.

Xue Yu has a photographic memory. He recognizes people not by their body shape or face, but by their temperament. Temperament is a mysterious thing that cannot be explained. However, Xue Yu has this ability, so there is no one in the world.

You can use the magic of disguise to hide it from him.

However, the rough and rough man in front of him had an upright and dignified spirit that was completely inconsistent with his image, and he was a little suave.
