"You nerd is really arrogant! My 'Jinlai Pawn Shop' belongs to the largest chamber of commerce, the 'Hustle and bustle chamber of commerce'! It's just a broken clay bowl, what kind of gold do you want from a lion like me? You have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard!"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Wangyan laughed more and more heartily, and he asked with a smile: "Are you really not going to invite your shopkeeper out? This is a very important matter. If you rely on us, there will only be three people, and you will bully the few with the more. What are we going to do!"

"A broken clay bowl! If you nerd keep playing tricks on me, I'm going to do it!" As he said this, the guy rolled up his arms and sleeves, aggressively, and Tao Mo hurriedly stood sideways in front of Bai Wangyan, but was caught The white-clothed scholar gently pushed away, and he smiled and said: "Just watch the show."

After finishing speaking, Bai Wangyan raised his eyes to look at the blushing and thick-necked guy. He stretched out a finger, shook it in front of the man, and said with a smile, "As the saying goes, 'one leaf can cover your eyes, you can't see Mount Tai. Two beans stuffed Ears, don't hear thunder', with your shallow eyesight, it is a pity to see treasures as dust!"

"You nerd! What nonsense are you talking about!" The guy couldn't understand Bai Wangyan's long series of words, and threatened irritably, "Take these two guys and this broken clay bowl, and get out of here!"

"Ha," Bai Wangyan smiled helplessly, "You can't carve rotten wood!" As he said this, he took out a small paper knife from his sleeve, and scraped the clumsy-looking clay bowl vigorously with the blunt blade. At first, there were only white marks left on the surface of the brown soil, but as the strength of the blade increased, the thick soil was continuously peeled off.

The green color that was about to drip was revealed from under the soil, and the dilapidated clay bowl seemed to be instantly ignited by this green color. As the soil peeled off, the green color spread outward.

The pawnbroker who had been yelling wantonly at Bai Wangyan had his eyes fixed on that emerald green, and he couldn't move his eyes away!His eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly opened, but he couldn't say a word.Hearing the sound, the old shopkeeper walked outside the gate of the pawn shop, looked at the bowl in the white-clothed scholar's hand, and immediately frowned, and murmured: "Could it be..."

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the work of the jade carving master Wang Dian, the 'Emerald Jade Hibiscus Bowl'." While speaking, the small palm-sized bowl has completely revealed its bright emerald green, and Bai Wangyan's slender and fair body Holding it in your hand, it is even more transparent under the moonlight.On the flawless bowl, there are two hibiscus flowers carved with extremely delicate craftsmanship, which are lifelike, and when the night wind blows, it seems to be able to emit bursts of floral fragrance.

"It's amazing!" The crowd exclaimed again and again.No one would have imagined that such a small and exquisite emerald jade bowl was wrapped in this extremely clumsy clay bowl.

At this time, not only the guy whose jaw was about to drop, even Tao Mo opened his eyes wide, staring at the emerald bowl that looked like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon. After that, he quickly turned his head and looked at it in surprise. Looking at the man dressed as a beggar.The man's face was originally covered by disheveled hair, but the man suddenly smiled at Bai Wangyan, but the smile was so meaningful that Tao Mo pulled his sword out of its sheath in an instant.

But at this moment, the scholar in white leaned towards him, and calmly pushed back his sword that was almost out of its sheath, while holding the emerald bowl in his hand, he explained to everyone: "This' emerald jade lotus The bowl' is carved from a whole piece of jadeite from the Pyu Kingdom, and the jade alone is priceless, not to mention the craftsmanship of Master Wang Dian..." As he spoke, he squinted and smiled at the stunned buddy, "Three Two gold, heh."

As he spoke, the scholar in white wiped the emerald jade bowl with a handkerchief, and handed it to the man who had been silent all this time. At the end, he patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, let's go."

"Wait, wait a minute, this gentleman, can I show this old man..."

But Bai Wangyan just shook his head and smiled, dragged Tao Mo to lead the man out of the crowd, and quickly left the door of the pawnshop, leaving the old shopkeeper's angry scolding of the shopkeeper far behind him.

The moonlight slanted on the bricks, and occasionally a few dog barks could be heard from the distant houses, echoing over the empty streets.Bai Wangyan went all the way to a secluded tavern outside the street market, except for the three of them who had just entered, only the proprietress and the waiter who was dozing off on the table were left.After the three of them sat down on the second floor of the tavern, Bai Wangyan smiled and ordered the young boy who hadn't woken up to warm a pot of wine. After that, he stared straight at the man with his head bowed.

Tao Mo didn't know where he was going, so he didn't ask for a while, so he continued to keep silent.At this moment, the beggar-like man sitting across the table suddenly said: "My little brother, thank you very much for your help."

The voice was not at all like the "old man" that the guy said, and it had nothing to do with being old.

Bai Wangyan snorted, "How did you meet this lord? It really surprised me."

Tao Mo was taken aback by Bai Wangyan's title, and he replied, "After we parted from you, I met him looking for a pawn shop in the market, so I took him there."

"My lord, what do you mean?" After answering, the black-clothed swordsman asked a little confused.

His gaze flashed past the exposed hands of the person opposite, Bai Wangyan embraced his hands, leaned back on the chair, and said with a smile: "I thought it was strange before, such hands, and that priceless 'Jade and Hibiscus' Bowl, how could it appear on such a well-dressed person?" At this point, he made a gesture of invitation, "Now there are only the three of us, I wonder if Your Excellency will let us see the real face?"

"Hahahaha! Interesting, I really can't hide it from your eyes," the slender, strong, and well-maintained fingers just inserted into the gray messy hair, and the man lifted his disheveled forehead hair, revealing a Zhang Junlang's youthful face, "But I dare not be an 'adult', I am just a businessman."

Bai Wangyan stared at the man in front of him, but suddenly he was slightly surprised, but his emotion was still concealed by him, the white-clothed scholar cupped his fists: "You are joking, I don't know why you came to see me? "

Tao Mo's foray into the rivers and lakes is still new, but Bai Wangyan understands the way to do it. The unknown man in front of him, in order to get close to the two of them, can be said to have been carefully "designed".I probably heard from somewhere that Tao Shaoxia was cold-faced but warm-hearted, so he approached him pretending to be a beggar, and used his chivalrous heart to confront the pawnbroker, "just in time" knowing that he would not release Tao Mo Du was wandering in the market alone, so he bet on whether he would come to rescue him, and the result was obvious.Thinking of this, Bai Wangyan frowned slightly. He hated being tricked, but even if he knew it was a trick, he still had to do something for Tao Mo.This person bet that he guessed that the clay bowl was unusual by seeing the loopholes he intentionally left, and Bai Wangyan just followed the script, revealing in front of everyone that it was the priceless "Jade and Hibiscus Bowl". This man with a mysterious identity fulfilled his plan to kill two birds with one stone.

"Why are you putting so much effort into this?" Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Bai Wangyan asked again with an emphatic tone, and there was already a bad look in his eyes.

Tao Mo didn't know what Bai Wangyan was thinking in his heart, but it took him a long time to get along, and he had already figured out some patterns.Bai Wangyan was a person who would not easily turn against others. Whether he was sincere or not, he always showed people with a smile, but this situation was different from the past. He was keenly aware of Bai Wangyan's disgust.

Although this young man with gray and disheveled hair, but a clean and handsome face, saw that Bai Wangyan seemed to be angry, he panicked for a moment, and quickly waved his hands: "Offended offended, I am reckless! This move is not intentional." To deceive you two, I have always heard that Mr. Bai is very witty, and Tao Shaoxia has a chivalrous heart, and I have admired him for a long time before I made this trick. I hope I can make friends with you. I have offended you, so I will accompany you two."

"Excuse me," Bai Wangyan didn't appreciate it, "I don't know where you got the news about us, but please stop here, we are just scattered people in the world, and we can't stand up to you, my lord." Bai Wangyan was really moved Furious, he got up to leave while he was speaking, but saw Tao Mo still sitting where he was.

"This is not good..." Tao Mo muttered.He didn't understand why Bai Wangyan was so angry, but he just felt that if he left like this, it would hurt the person in front of him too much.He thought simply, so he defended this man with a few words: "Mr. Bai, he doesn't have bad intentions, he just wants to make friends with us, so it's not good to leave right away?"

"Tao Shaoxia is right..."

Bai Wangyan raised his eyebrows, if someone else said this, it would add fuel to the fire, but when Tao Mo said it, he calmed down.It's just that he didn't intend to continue to sit down and talk. Bai Wangyan asked condescendingly, "May I ask where you heard about it?"

"It's Boss Jin from the Bustling Chamber of Commerce. After he came back, he was extremely grateful to the two saviors. It was only when I talked to him about what happened to Senluo Villa that I learned about them." Lying, he was taken aback for a moment, and smiled extremely apologetically: "I haven't introduced myself to the two of you yet, my surname is Sikong, and my single name is the word Crane."

"Ah, there is one more thing. I want to get to know you two, not only because I admire their talents, but also because you, Mr. Bai Jin... are very much like an old friend."
