Section 182 Overt and covert fighting

As for the military leader of this bidding meeting, it is the Gale Sword Saint Skazi. He is an archer himself. Although he is also a strong man in the holy realm, his strength is still bows and arrows. Therefore, rather than saying He is a sword master, it would be more accurate to say that he is an arrow master.

The entire bidding meeting was conducted in a strange atmosphere. Because the August family's success in deceiving the Stephen family's bow and arrow manufacturing formula had already been leaked as the two sides fiercely competed for bow and arrow manufacturing materials. Everyone, including the Storm Sword Saint Skazi, knew clearly that today would be a battle between dragons and tigers, and that starting from today, the two families would officially break up and embark on the path of mutual hatred.

In fact, the Storm Sword Master Skazi knew more about the grievances between the two families, because when he came, the emperor personally called him for an interview and asked him to be impartial in this bidding. , it is best for both the Augustus and Stephen families to keep the price to the lowest. He was surprised at first. It was usually a matter for the Stephen family, so why did the emperor mention the August family today? The emperor then told all about the dispute between the two families.

It turns out that since the fat man's wife reported the matter of the 5,000 bows to the emperor according to Lao Xie's instructions, the emperor was furious and ordered royal spies to investigate. With the efforts of the spies, they quickly found out who was behind the smuggling, and it turned out to be the August family.

However, just when the emperor was angry and wanted to clean up the Augustus family, the queen who had already noticed it suddenly appeared. With his sharp tongue and the temptation of beauty, the matter was finally settled.

Of course, there is a price to pay for letting the emperor let go of the Augustus family. This price is the 5,000 bows, which the Augustus family originally bought from that bastard, but now they have given the emperor a free advantage.

In addition, the August family also promised that as long as they can master this technology and participate in the military bidding, they are guaranteed to lower the price of bows and arrows by at least 30%.

The emperor thought about it, this is a good thing. In the past, it was a monopoly run by the Stephen family. They quoted whatever price they quoted. The profits were so huge that I was jealous just looking at it. But if there were more Augustus families competing now, the price of bows and arrows would definitely fall. Wouldn't that mean that I was getting an advantage?

In this case, the emperor finally decided to remain silent and no longer pursue the August family's smuggling matter.

What satisfied the emperor most about the whole matter was that the Stephen family clearly suffered a loss, but they did not dare to say anything about it, because if they dared to make things worse, the first person to be blamed would be their family. Idiot kid. Therefore, the emperor can enjoy the profits brought by this incident with peace of mind, without worrying about any dissatisfaction from the Stephen family. How can he not do such a cheap thing?

So, with the joint efforts of the emperor, Stephen and Augustus, the major smuggling case of 5,000 military bows and arrows disappeared silently. The emperor made a lot of money. Although the Augustus family ostensibly helped with some money, they actually earned the bow and arrow formula, which was regarded as an advantage. Only the Stephen family, the great companion, not only lost the secret method, but also lost the basis of the monopoly. Even the payment for the 5,000 bows was lost by the idiot, and it was returned to others. And the most depressing thing is that they don't dare to speak out, and they can't find anyone to reason with them. They can only admit it, which is a huge loss.

So under this situation, when Fatty and Frank, the patriarch of the August family, met, fierce sparks could not help but burst out in the eyes of both parties.

"Ha, respected Duke Stephen, I thought you wouldn't come!" Frank said proudly.

"Oh? It's so lively here, why don't I come?" The fat man sneered: "My respected Duke Augustus!"

"I thought you would educate your children at home now!" Frank mocked with a sly smile.

"Haha!" The fat man said with an angry smile: "It doesn't matter if the child is wrong, just say a few words. I am a very generous person. But it's you who appears here that puzzles me! ”

"Huh? What's so strange about me coming here?" Frank immediately asked in confusion.

"I thought you would take care of your son with a broken leg at home!" The fat man sneered disdainfully: "But having said that, I really admire the courage of your Augustus family. Even the saints don’t care about it, you are so smart!”

"You~" When Frank heard this, his face suddenly turned green with anger. The fat man was obviously insulting someone, and it immediately pierced the deepest scar in his heart. Can he not be angry? If this wasn't in public, he might just go over and beat up the fat man.

"Okay, okay, you two, you two!" Upon seeing this, the Sword Master Skazi came over and tried to dissuade him: "Don't hurt your friendship!"

"Hmph, I don't want to argue with such a tasteless person!" Frank snorted coldly, and then walked in angrily.

"Only thieves are the most tasteless!" But the fat man chased after him and cursed.

Frank knew he was in the wrong this time, so he didn't reply, pretending not to hear, and just sneered in his heart: 'Just be arrogant, wait a while, I won't make you cry! ’

"Okay, okay, Duke Stephen, please calm down. Come in quickly!" Gale Sword Saint Skazi hurriedly took his hand.

"Oh! Okay!" The fat man sighed dejectedly, and then followed the Gale Sword Saint Skazi in, while saying with a helpless smile: "Unfortunately, my family was tricked by that bastard. It made me crazy. Some gaffes made you laugh! ”

"Haha, don't you dare!" What else could the Gale Sword Saint Skazi say? Although he was also a Duke and even a Sword Master, he was all awarded because of his strength. As for him, he was just a poor boy from the countryside and had no foundation at all in the upper class society. So even if he has a certain status now, he still doesn't dare to offend these old nobles. He can only laugh and act stupid, but he doesn't dare to make any comments.

The fat man also knew his difficulty and didn't take it seriously. Instead, he enthusiastically began to introduce Lao Xie to him. Lao Xie was originally unwilling to engage in such a social interaction, but seeing that the Storm Sword Saint Skazi was quite strong, he still reluctantly said hello. Gale Sword Saint Skazi naturally saw Lao Xie's reluctance, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he praised Lao Xie, showing the hypocrisy of a nobleman vividly. Little did he know that although this pretentiousness was useful to others, it could only backfire in front of Lao Xie. He was already despised to death in Lao Xie's heart.

Without further ado, in a large luxurious private room, everyone sat down on the left and right. Frank and Fatty were naturally separated to prevent them from fighting.

The Gale Sword Master Skazi sat in the middle. He first said some clichés based on his past experience, but he was very knowledgeable and did not make a long speech. Instead, he ended it quickly and went directly to the topic. This kind of lead The practical approach made Lao Xie have a good impression of him.

The initial bidding was for a few small bids, which were nothing more than the bows and arrows needed by the security forces in a certain area. The number was generally only a few thousand, and the bow and arrow samples they took out were not good at all. They looked ordinary at first glance, but The advantage is that it is cheap, and its power can threaten ordinary people without any protection. It is enough to maintain local security.

These are just appetizers, not very eye-catching. It seems that everyone knows that there is going to be a wonderful business war later, so they unconsciously speed up and finish them all in a short time.

Finally, it’s time to reach the last item, which is the purchase of bows and arrows for the kingdom’s regular army. This was a big business worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and everyone present widened their eyes to see how the two aristocratic families competed.

The Gale Sword Saint Skazi first smiled and said: "The following is the last item. I don't know, who is willing to take this bid?" His words were not addressed to Fatty and Frank, but to those who bid. of. As Dukes, Fatty and the others are only here to supervise today and will not directly participate in the bidding. That would be too low a price. Naturally, the managers below will be responsible for this matter.

But after Gale Sword Master Skazi asked the question, he was given the cold shoulder. He waited for a while, but no one answered him. It turned out that both Fatty and Frank were concentrating with their eyes closed, and no one gave any signal to their subordinates. Without their nods, of course the managers would not dare to speak.

The Gale Sword Saint Skazi did not expect such a thing to happen, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked again: "Everyone, please don't waste everyone's time, okay?"

But after waiting for a while, there was still no one paying attention to him. Sword Saint Skazi's face became a little uneasy, and he couldn't help but said displeasedly, "If you don't hurry up, then I can only declare a failure." ”

Finally, after hearing these words, Frank couldn't sit still. There is no way, who said he is more anxious than the fat man? You know, he has eaten a lot of bow and arrow materials now, almost all piled up into a mountain, taking up a lot of family funds. If he can't get the bid this time, then he has to Pay death?
