The Cold Iron from Outer Space, as its name suggests, is a kind of mineral that is said to come from beyond the earth.
In fact, it is found in the deep abyss mine and buried underground, rarely discovered by people.
Just a piece of Cold Iron from Outer Space the size of a fingernail, when melted and forged onto the blade of a sword, can make the weapon sharper and able to cut through iron like mud. In addition, the weight of the Cold Iron from Outer Space is five times that of ordinary iron ore. Weapons forged with it are of superior quality in both hand feel and hardness.
And now, there is such a piece of Cold Iron from Outer Space placed in front of Feng Tingliu.
The Cold Iron from Outer Space brought by Boss Zhong is as big as a fist. Surprisingly, it hardly reflects light in the sun, as if all the light is swallowed by the deep darkness, showing its oppressive feeling from outer space.
"Well." Feng Tingliu touched his chin and observed the Cold Iron from Outer Space, even forgetting to fan himself with the fan in his hand.
At a glance, Feng Tingliu knew that this Cold Iron from Outer Space was definitely of top quality. But he was not in a hurry to make an offer. He just leaned back in his chair and squinted at Boss Zhong.
Bringing such a valuable Cold Iron from Outer Space to Liudu City is enough to show that Boss Zhong really wants to sell it to him. Perhaps it is because Feng Tingliu is wealthy, or perhaps Boss Zhong is taking this opportunity to get closer to Liudu City, but for Feng Tingliu, it makes no difference.
Seeing Feng Tingliu's attitude, Boss Zhong immediately became nervous. His hands hidden under the table couldn't stop rubbing.
"Eight hundred taels. What does City Lord Feng think?"
After hearing this, Feng Tingliu just chuckled and said, "Six hundred."
"Six hundred?! No, no, this Cold Iron from Outer Space is priceless. Six hundred is too low." Boss Zhong was greatly surprised. He didn't expect Feng Tingliu to bargain with him so fiercely.
Feng Tingliu remained silent. His crimson eyes met Boss Zhong's gaze, and his deep pupils almost sucked people in.
"Six hundred."
Boss Zhong was somewhat confused and didn't understand why Feng Tingliu was pressing the price so low.
He has always had smooth business dealings with Feng Tingliu and also knows that Feng Tingliu is wealthy and definitely not short of these two hundred taels.
Boss Zhong nervously pinched the hem of his clothes. Looking at Feng Tingliu's expression, in a moment, sweat had already oozed from his forehead.
"Seven hundred taels. City Lord Feng, this can't be any lower."
"Six hundred."
No matter what Boss Zhong said, Feng Tingliu only had this answer.
Boss Zhong was so anxious that he was sweating. He also knew that except for Feng Tingliu, he might not be able to find another more suitable buyer. This Cold Iron from Outer Space was dug out by their own people, and the cost was almost zero. It was a win-win situation to use it to sell Feng Tingliu a favor and make a large sum of money. After all, Liudu City is the most generous customer of Chongshan Chamber of Commerce, and nearly half of the iron ore in the chamber of commerce is bought by Liudu City.
But why would Feng Tingliu be so difficult for two hundred taels? Even when he made a concession of one hundred taels, Feng Tingliu still persisted.
Could it be that there is a problem with the goods delivered?
Or is the problem with the Cold Iron from Outer Space itself?
Boss Zhong was so anxious that he wiped the sweat. Under Feng Tingliu's gaze, his back felt as if it was crawling with insects, making him feel creepy and cold.
"This, this..." In an instant, Boss Zhong's mind flashed through the scenes of his life, but he still didn't understand where he had offended Feng Tingliu. But in the end, he stillSurrender(submitted to) Feng Tingliu's gaze, deeply sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Six hundred is six hundred!"
Only then did Feng Tingliu curl his mouth and show a smile: "Thank you, Boss Zhong."
Seeing that Feng Tingliu agreed, Boss Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and forced awry smile(smiled wryly), saying, "City Lord Feng is generous."
"The business between Liudu City and Chongshan Chamber of Commerce still relies on Boss Zhong. In the future, the quantity of iron ore delivered to Liudu City every month will be doubled."
Feng Tingliu gave Boss Zhong a sweetener at the right time. Boss Zhong's eyes immediately lit up and he excitedly nodded.
Although that's what he said, Boss Zhong understood that it was his Chongshan Chamber of Commerce that really relied on the other party.
Feng Tingliu is confident and arrogant because he has the capital to be so, and can make people submit willingly(willingly).
When Boss Zhong left Liudu City, his face was beaming with joy, completely forgetting that the Cold Iron from Outer Space was only sold for six hundred taels.
Feng Tingliu sat in the same place, one hand touching the mysterious Cold Iron from Outer Space, the smile on his mouth not fading.
"Not bad, it's top quality."
"Why does Young Master insist on six hundred taels? It seems that you don't care about the remaining two hundred taels?" Yu Chi Feng was somewhat curious and couldn't help asking.
"You are actually more curious about this. Don't you ask me what I'm going to do with this Cold Iron from Outer Space?" Feng Tingliu was somewhat surprised. He looked up at him, suddenly smiled and said, "Giving a whip and then a candy can make people more obedient, isn't it good?"
Yu Chi Feng was stunned. This is indeed Feng Tingliu's way of doing things, but he didn't expect it to be used in business.
"Then, what does Young Master want to do with this Cold Iron from Outer Space?"
When Yu Chi Feng really asked this question, Feng Tingliu just chuckled and said:
"You'll know when the time comes."
Yu Chi Feng was confused.
According to Feng Tingliu's instructions, this Cold Iron from Outer Space was sent to Jianya Pool for safekeeping, and he crossed the hot courtyard and returned to the cool room.
However, Feng Tingliu did not idle this time. Instead, he asked Yu Chi Feng to find some cool and strong outfits.
Although Yu Chi Feng didn't understand, he still did as he was told.
The types of clothes in Feng Tingliu's closet are more than those in the largest clothing store in Beiji City. Even for the same style of clothing, there are many different colors and fabrics to make various styles for Feng Tingliu to choose from.
Perhaps even the dandies in the imperial city don't have such treatment as him.
Yu Chi Feng picked and chose in the closet, selected three lightweight and strong outfits, and handed them to Feng Tingliu for selection. Feng Tingliu pointed with his finger and picked a black one, asking Yu Chi Feng to put it on for him.
"Is Young Master going out?" Yu Chi Feng suddenly paused, thinking of the Cold Iron from Outer Space, "Is Young Master going to Jianya Pool?"
"That's right." Feng Tingliu seemed to be in a good mood, nodded, straightened his clothes, and tucked his pipe into his waist.
"Then I'll go with Young Master."
"No need. This month, I may often go to Jianya Pool. If I'm not here, you can rest on your own."
Yu Chi Feng was surprised. Although he also knew that he might not be able to help much even if he went, he could at least serve tea and water.
"Doesn't Young Master need me anymore?" Yu Chi Feng deliberately put on a aggrieved expression. If it were before, he would have made this expression without any burden, as long as he could please Feng Tingliu. But now that he has recovered his memory, he finds himself somewhat funny... However, the thought of pleasing Feng Tingliu has not changed.
Feng Tingliu glanced at him, with a bit ofdislike(dislike).
"Consider it as giving you a vacation. Are you not happy?"
"But I just want to be with Young Master." Yu Chi Feng blinked and said.
"Tsk, clingy." Feng Tingliu raised his hand and pushed Yu Chi Feng's chest. The force was not strong, but it showed a sense of flirting. He walked past Yu Chi Feng to the table, found a token from it, and threw it into Yu Chi Feng's arms, "If you want to go out of the city, you can. Just show this to the guards."
"Young Master..."
Yu Chi Feng didn't understand why Feng Tingliu did this. It seemed that he was also imitating the way he treated the chamber of commerce boss, giving a blow and then a sweetener. He held the token in his hand, hesitating. This token and the permission to leave the city are very important to him now.
He really wants to go to Beiji City, contact Qi Cheng, and learn about the situation of Beilong Hall.
"Of course, it's not that you can go out freely." Feng Tingliu turned around, raised his eyebrows, and grabbed Yu Chi Feng's collar.
"Huh? Young Master...!"
Feng Tingliu pulled Yu Chi Feng's collar forcefully forward, pushing him against the wall, and actually bit Yu Chi Feng's neck.
Feng Tingliu shallowly bit Yu Chi Feng's vulnerable and fatal Adam's apple. Whether to take his life is only a thought away for Feng Tingliu.
But Yu Chi Feng had no intention of avoiding, slightly raised his head, and let Feng Tingliu do as he pleased. Only the slight trembling of his Adam's apple exposed his excitement.
Feng Tingliu's mouth curled slightly, and he released Yu Chi Feng's Adam's apple, leaving only a shallow circle of tooth marks. He then bit Yu Chi Feng's side neck, using his lips and teeth to bite the flesh hard, leaving a purple kiss mark on it.
The marks were layered with cyan on top of red and purple on top of cyan, showing how hard Feng Tingliu had bitten, but Yu Chi Feng only let out a muffled groan and hugged Feng Tingliu's waist tightly.
It was like marking his own possession, with a full sense of possessiveness.
Feng Tingliu was satisfied with his masterpiece. In the end, he left another tooth mark next to the kiss mark.
"Now, wherever you go, you carry my mark." Feng Tingliu licked the corner of his mouth with satisfaction and looked up at him proudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chi Feng pressed his waist and pushed him forcefully into his arms, lowering his head to kiss the soft lips that still carried a hint of moisture.
The temperature that had just dropped rose again in this kiss, and until the fire burned the body, no one stopped.
-
On the third day when Feng Tingliu was soaking in Jianya Pool, Yu Chi Feng rode out of Liudu City.
Yu Chi Feng still remembers the vigilant gaze that Qin Qizhao gave him when he walked out of the Feng Mansion. Qin Qizhao wished he could go with him so that he could monitor whether Yu Chi Feng had any traitorous actions at all times.
It's a pity that Qin Qizhao doesn't have the right to freely enter and exit Liudu City.
Yu Chi Feng proudly took out the token, shook it in front of him, and rode away.
He wore black clothes and a veil to cover his face, and once again entered Beiji City. Unlike before, this time he came with a neck full of blushing kiss marks...
Yu Chi Feng touched his neck and actually felt a hint of shyness.
For these three days, every morning, Feng Tingliu would leave some marks on him before going to Jianya Pool. As a result, the kiss marks on his neck accumulated, which were extremely ambiguous.
Yu Chi Feng sighed, somewhat helpless, but what arose in his heart was a burning sense of satisfaction.
He lowered the veil to cover the marks on his neck, tied the horse in the inn, and headed towards the tailor's shop in the north.
