Chapter 33 Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada

When Jiang Xia heard Jiang Xia suddenly speak, almost everyone present focused their attention on Jiang Xia.

Zhang Yong looked at Jiang Xia with a smile and said, "What? Brother Jiang knows the origin of this thing?"

Jiang Xia was a little excited, and nodded and said, "This object is called the Blue Glaze Lantern, which is the burial object of the crown prince Li Hong of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Li Hong, the son of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, died suddenly in Luoyang, the eastern capital at the age of 24. After his death, the lamp was hidden with him in the 'Crown Tomb' in Gongling. I wanted to see this object a long time ago, but I didn't expect to see it in this place."

"Okay!" Zhang Yong shouted happily. "Brother Jiang is indeed knowledgeable and well-known. This lamp is exactly what you call a blue glaze lamp. This lamp was stolen from Gongling and turned into my hands. It was useless for me to hold it, so I took it out for everyone to appreciate it. Brother Jiang, the market price of this lamp is about 8,000 taels of silver. Do you think you want silver or lamps?"

"Eight thousand taels of silver?" The others present were shocked. They never expected that such a ceramic lamp was so precious. However, when they thought that he was once a funeral object for Emperor Gaozong's son, the price was reasonable.

In fact, those present didn't know that this was because Jiang Xia guessed it. If others guessed it, Zhang Yong would buy it at most for 4,000 taels of silver. The reason why he doubled the price was because he wanted to win over Jiang Xia.

In Zhang Yong's opinion, there are three values ​​to win over Jiang Xia. The first is to use it to win the emperor's favor, the second is to have one more help, and the third is to put a nail next to Liu Jin. Among the three values, the last value is what Zhang Yong likes the most.

Out of Zhang Yong's surprise, Jiang Xia spoke without thinking: "Thank you for Brother Zhang's care, brother, I want that lamp."

"Oh?" Zhang Yong was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "Okay, since brothers like it, I will immediately ask someone to pack it with a brocade box for you. You can take it away when you leave the house later."

"Thank you, Brother Zhang." Jiang Xia clasped her fists at Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong waved his hand and smiled repeatedly and told Jiang Xia not to be polite. He was happy that Jiang Xia could choose a lamp or not. Although the blue glaze lamp was precious, it was useless to Zhang Yong. In comparison, the eight thousand taels of silver were more valuable. Now that Jiang Xia chose a lamp, he got favors and saved money, so Zhang Yong was also very happy.

But what Zhang Yong didn't know was that the reason why Jiang Xia wanted that blue-glaze lamp was not because the blue-glaze lamp was precious, but because there was a secret hidden in the blue-glaze lamp.

When was this blue glaze lamp made and who was made, Jiang Xia couldn't tell clearly. However, he once met a person in later generations, whose name was "Zero", which is recognized as the world's number one killer in the killer world. There are two reasons why he is so powerful. One is that he can use an ancient martial arts sword technique, and this sword technique is called "Yi Jian Breaks the Xu".

Although there is only one sword technique, it is powerful and extremely exquisite and changeable. Once this sword move is released, no one has ever resisted it. In addition, "Zero" has also reached the throne of the No. 1 Killer because he knows a very mysterious light body footwork.

Therefore, the light body footwork does not refer to those light skills that are high and high. There are countless internal classics that have been passed down for thousands of years. However, Jiang Xia has never seen any light skills that can fly several feet high, fly hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters in the air. If Jiang Xia guessed correctly, the so-called light skills that are high and high are just people's speculations and fabrications. The real light skills are actually light body footwork.

There are roughly two functions of this light body footwork. One is dodging, relying on mysterious footwork to avoid the enemy's attacks in battle. At the same time, attacking the enemy can often achieve twice the result with half the effort. The other is to escape. Practicing the light body footwork can make the body light and the running speed can speed up. Ancient warriors who are truly proficient in light body footwork, such as Bolt, Niu Xiang, etc., are weak.

Jiang Xia didn't know where the sword move of "one sword to break the void" came from, but Jiang Xia was still very clear about where the "zero" light body footwork was obtained. The light body technique was called "Eight Steps to Cicadas", which is a set of superior light body footwork that combines attack, dodge, and escape. It is unknown who first created it, but the secret of this step was finally hidden in the disc at the base of the blue glaze lamp, recorded in a piece of butter paper.

When Jiang Xia made a game, he cheated "Zero" and worked as a bodyguard for one year. During that year, "Zero" taught Jiang Xia a lot of killing skills and knowledge, but only this set of "Zero" in "Eight Steps to Chasing the Cicada" has never been willing to teach Jiang Xia.

According to the word "zero", he can survive by relying on his own knowledge of "Eight Steps to Chasing the Cicada", and no one in the world can catch him. If there is a second person in the world who knows this set of footwork, he will not be able to escape from that person. This is equivalent to handing over his life to someone else's hands for a killer. So although Jiang Xia and Zero had become friends at that time, he was unable to learn this set of light body footwork from Zero in the end.

So now that Jiang Xia will be so excited to see the blue glaze lamp again.

After the blue glaze lamp returned to Jiangxia, Zhang Yong's collection began to display one by one. It was said that Zhang Yong took out a lot of treasures this time, more than 100 pieces of large and small. Many of them were treasures, which made Jiangxia sigh that Zhang Yong was quite rich and generous.

Except for Jiang Xia, the rest of the people present also gained a lot of gains, and almost no one failed. Among them, Jiang Xia also saw a little trick. Several people were unable to tell the fake treasures that were real and misled their origins.

But Zhang Yong said that they were right and bought the treasures back with a few thousand taels of silver.

Jiang Xia guessed that those people must have an extraordinary origin, and Zhang Yongyouqiu and them deliberately used this to bribe. Unexpectedly, the bribery in ancient times was so obscure, and Jiang Xia secretly praised it.

Jiang Xia was satisfied with the Blue Glaze Lantern, and he rarely took action after that. With his knowledge, Jiang Xia could tell the story of every treasure Zhang Yong took out. But it was obvious that those who attended this treasure appraisal conference today were not ordinary people, and Jiang Xia didn't want to be too popular.

The last treasure was displayed and Zhang Yong announced the end of the treasure appraisal conference.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to just go out. After Zhang Yong clapped his hands, a servant came up with wine and food. After watching for a long time, everyone was a little hungry. It would be best to eat and drink, enjoy the singer's dance and leave. If Ya Xing was not diminished, he could take it away by the way, or stay overnight in this Zhang Mansion.

The establishment of party members in the officialdom is not like the ones performed in later films and TV shows. A high-ranking official can call and drink at will to the people below, and the people below are still willing to accept it. To put it bluntly, everyone is the imperial officials, and the bosses are all the current emperors. So what if you are a first-rank official? Although I am a sixth-rank, I have to pay tribute to you when I see you, I can completely disobey what you arrange for me and have many shirks.

There are many parties in the court, and I can join other parties if you drink to me. Therefore, those who truly form cliques and make personal gains will not urge the officials below at will, but will often give them benefits. When they know that they have a good life with them, they can make others work wholeheartedly for you. So none of the people who came to the treasure appraisal conference today have a higher status than Zhang Yong, but Zhang Yong tried his best to arrange them, with the purpose of winning over them and making them his Zhang Yong's people.

The wine and dishes before the treasure appraisal conference were all abalone ginseng, wings, big fish and meat. At the end, they were mostly nourishing dishes for bird's nest snow clams. Through Jiangxia, I smelled my favorite stewed deer antler from snow ginseng, which is a great tonic. Men eat strong and women eat beautifully. If both men and women eat... they may have to change to a new bed the next day.

Although Jiang Xia is proficient in the Heart Sutra of the Imperial Girls, there is no harm in eating too much of this kind.

The stewed deer antler with snow ginseng was just served, and Jiang Xia immediately took a bowl to serve the soup. He had just scooped two scoops of Jiang Xia suddenly stopped and frowned.

Has murderous intent!

Jiang Xia subconsciously turned her head and turned her eyes to Zhang Yong.

A servant walked to Zhang Yong with a cup of soup. When he was about to put it down, he suddenly threw the soup and the tea tray at Zhang Yong. Then a white light flashed, and a shiny dagger stabbed Zhang Yong in the chest.

Zhang Yong's reaction was extremely rapid. He first turned sideways and avoided the soup, then slapped the assassin's hand with his right hand, and then slapped the assassin's chest with his left hand.

The assassin flew backwards and fell to the ground and spat a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, his servant's hat also fell off, and his long black hair scattered down. Jiang Xia was shocked when he saw it. This assassin looked so familiar... Oh, what's familiar, he just knows it. Isn't this the fierce Cui Rushuang who is as fierce as a tigress?

Everything happened just now was so fast, from throwing the soup to assassination to being knocked back, all of this happened in a flash.

Although Jiang Xia usually observed Zhang Yong's breathing for a long time and had a stable lower plate, he had guessed that he would definitely have martial arts skills and his martial arts skills were not low. However, he did not expect that Zhang Yong's martial arts skills were so high that Cui Rushuang suddenly launched an assassination and not only failed to hurt Zhang Yong at all, but was also beaten to internal injuries by his move.

It seems that Cui Rushuang can't beat Zhang Yong, and even if she wants to escape from this Zhang Mansion, it will be difficult to climb to the sky.

Save her? Or not to save her? This is a question. This question just flashed through Jiang Xia’s heart and there was an answer. Jiang Xia lamented in her heart that handsome people are prone to soft-heartedness, especially men like me who are so handsome that they are as soft as cotton candy.

Cui Rushuang rolled over from the ground with a carp. She looked at Zhang Yong with a look of fear. She was afraid that she would not have expected Zhang Yong to have such a powerful martial arts. Of course, she did not recognize that the little martial arts she knew were just three-legged cat skills.

Zhang Yongzheng was about to jump out and take Cui Rushuang down, but Jiang Xia yelled: "Female thief, so brave! How dare you hurt my elder brother, I will fight you."

PS: I just said that a helm leader appeared yesterday and then added updates. Unexpectedly, a hall master appeared on the fan list immediately. Okay, today the tiger tried its best to update six times, hoping to get everyone's support, monthly tickets, red tickets, collections, clicks, the tiger rolled around and asked, the tiger was typing all night during the Dragon Boat Festival, don't you give me some support?
