Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 120 Burning Heart Amber
"Since the little brother said so, then I will take it as your agreement. If my treasure is as good as this altar, I will be considered the winner." Huo Mingzhu still did not forget to bargain hard. At such a time, people don't care about anything. Well, the only thing I want is to be able to get out of the body.

Seeing that Huo Mingzhu was so confident, the guy was a little uncertain at once, but his curiosity was aroused, and he naturally wanted to see what the treasure she was talking about was.

Therefore, the guy said to Huo Mingzhu with a smile that has never changed for thousands of years: "Okay, all the people who come here are customers, so naturally we respect the wishes of the distinguished guests. If the treasures of the distinguished guests are comparable to this altar, the shop will admit defeat."

Suli's eyes didn't dare to glance at the rows of ears on the wall, and she didn't dare to look at Huo Mingzhu's hands, she didn't know what kind of treasure her young lady had that could shock this terrible "ghost face".Suddenly remembered something, Su Yu quietly pulled Huo Mingzhu and asked: "My lord, could it be that piece of warm jade given by the Ninth Prince? Didn't it mean that there is only one piece in the world?"

Huo Mingzhu didn't answer her, and stretched out her hand, spreading out her palm, revealing a piece of crystal clear amber.

Su Hui closed her eyes, it was just a piece of amber, she had seen many of this thing at roadside stalls, her young lady must have been frightened out of her mind, so she used this thing to scare people, this time It's over, their poor ears must be lost.

However, Huo Mingzhu didn't panic, and didn't show a trace of timidity, she just stared straight into the guy's eyes and said, "What? Brother, I've seen a lot in this North Street, and I've seen all kinds of treasures, so I won't fail to recognize them." what is this?"

"It's just an ordinary piece of amber..." the guy blurted out, "I was stunned just now because I never thought that a distinguished guest would make such a joke, and using a piece of ordinary amber as a top-up really made the shop feel humiliated... ...If the distinguished guests intend to spoil the place, the small shop can't keep two people! Not only the ears, but also the lives to be dedicated to the ugly slave!"

Huo Mingzhu didn't know what the guy said, and she wasn't interested in knowing who the ugly slave was. She just smiled calmly, with a little sarcasm, stared at the guy and raised her eyebrows and said: "Brother Look carefully, it must be that the wall lamps in North Street are too dark, so I haven’t seen it clearly yet, right? Or, brother, you don’t know anything at all?”

Su Wei didn't know what her young lady was doing, with such an inscrutable tone, could it be that she wanted to knock the young man unconscious so that he could escape when he came up defenseless?

Sulu was already prepared and wanted to help her young lady at the critical moment.

However, the guy got closer, and when he saw the amber, his eyes straightened, he raised his head in amazement, and asked Huo Mingzhu, "Could it be that... this is the only rare treasure left in the world—the Burning Heart Amber? "

"Brother, you finally recognized it." Huo Mingzhu still didn't take back her hand, letting the guy stare greedily and forgetfully at the amber in her palm.

"Guests, please come inside quickly, I'm too young to know Mount Tai!" The waiter suddenly became more polite, led Huo Mingzhu's master and servant inside, poured her a cup of tea, and smiled more than before. I felt much more comfortable, "Can you take a look at the Burning Heart Amber, my honored guest? This treasure is so small that I have only seen it in my life..."

Huo Mingzhu was not stingy, and handed the amber to the guy: "Since you are here for business, you should be honest, in my brother's opinion, how does my burning heart amber compare to the golden nanmu Buddhist altar? Little brother, don’t jump to conclusions just to keep the ears of our master and servant!”

That guy is indeed like a person who is used to seeing too many treasures. When he took the amber, he acted piously and carefully, his eyes were shining, and he admired the amber while admiring: "Wonderful, wonderful! Although there are so many ambers in the world It is not surprising that even ordinary people have an amber. But this heart-burning amber is the treasure of the former Princess Taikang. There are two butterflies in the amber, which are very affectionate. It is a gift from Princess Taikang's husband. As a wedding gift to her, these two butterflies, even after a hundred years and a thousand years, still have this lifelike appearance... What a spectacle... These tentacles, these wings, this transparency..."

As if someone had injected some kind of potion, this guy was talking to himself and couldn't stop at all, praising the beauty of the heart-burning amber endlessly.

Su Hui was intimidated by the clerk before, and she still couldn't get over it, and she didn't understand how the situation was reversed. Taking out a piece of broken amber can easily make the clerk change his temper?

"My lord, what's the situation? Why am I a little confused?" Su Hui asked Huo Mingzhu in a low voice.

"You just have to watch, and I'll talk to you when I get out." Huo Mingzhu didn't want to say much, but asked the guy: "Brother, your Buddhist altar is so precious, it's only made of golden nanmu hundreds of years old, plus The engraving by the Holy Hand Qin San, which took ten years, is indeed a treasure that cannot be recreated. However, my heart-burning amber was obtained by accident more than a thousand years ago. The right time, place and people are indispensable. In the next year, another skilled craftsman like Qin San can recreate the Buddhist altar, but it is impossible to have two identical butterflies wrapped in the crystal clear amber... From the perspective of rarity, my heart-burning amber is rare. It is a unique piece in the world, if I can't count it as my victory, and I can't identify the rarity of this treasure, then the name of Beijie is probably nothing more than that?"

Huo Mingzhu put all the high hats on him, forcing the guy to be powerless to refute.

After a moment of silence, the clerk sighed: "The shop has been in business for several years, and it has always been honest and trustworthy. If it is right, it is right, and if it is wrong, it is not right. The Burning Heart Amber of the honored customer is indeed unique, and the shop is willing to bet and admit defeat."

He said, still with that smiling face on his face, he returned the heart-burning amber in its original form, and sighed: "The honored guest has won, there is no need to keep ears, the door has been reopened, please go ahead."

After his voice fell, the door opened heavily.As the light shone in, the lights inside the shop were also extinguished one by one, and the moonstone outside became more and more bright.

Huo Mingzhu did not run away, but looked directly at the rescued man, and said: "The game just now, if we lose, we have to keep our ears, but if we win, we will get nothing. Brother, don't you think it's a bit unfair to us?" Isn't it fair?"

"Then what does the honorable guest want? Is it okay to let the little one keep one ear?" The guy asked back.

Huo Mingzhu chuckled lightly: "I don't have the eccentricity of your store. Originally, I didn't want to ask if the heart-burning amber is priceless. Now that I have been approved, I am naturally happy. Brother, you don't need to keep your ears, just tell me , What is the layout of this dungeon? If we walk through it, what should we pay attention to? Where are the most trustworthy merchants?"
