Chapter Twenty-Five Selling Gold

  Seven thousand taels of gold, with a total weight of about 500 catties, Liu Mang found a huge canvas sack to pack all the gold into.

  Liu Mang looked at Lü Bu and Chen Gong.

  Chen Gong placed a cloth bag in Liu Mang's hand and said, "It's up to you! Han Yang. Whether we can break through Kaiyang and regroup depends on this trip."

  Lü Bu didn't say a word, but his eyes looking at Liu Mang were also filled with encouragement.

  "Hold on for three days and I'll be back!" Liu Mang nodded.

  "Don't even mention three days, as long as I, Lü Bu, don't die for a moment, Cao Cao will never enter Kaiyang!" Lü Bu has his pride, the world's number one martial general, his existence is that of a god of war.

  "Take care!" Liu Mang clicked the return button and left.

  The golden light once again illuminated the entire room. This time, Chen Gong and Lü Bu were much calmer. The divine sign that Liu Mang had given them had already appeared once before.

  Jin Guang disappeared, Liu Mang disappeared in front of Lü Bu and Chen Gong.

  Lü Bu smiled and said, "Let's go, Gongtai! This time we'll fight side by side!"

  "Haha, Master, why say that? I, Chen Gongtai, am not just a mere scholar!" Chen Gong also smiled. If half a day ago they were still in a state of despair, now they had hope. As long as Liu Bei's 5,000 warhorses and armor fell into their hands, they would have the confidence to break through the siege.

  In this life, Jinling, this ancient capital of six dynasties, now belongs to a provincial metropolis.

  Liu Mang appeared on the street as if he had always been there, without drawing anyone's attention.

  "The PM value is still 2.5! Still that familiar taste, still that sentimental haze!" Liu Mang deeply and emotionally took a big breath of the air, amidst the piled up corpses at the foot of Yang City, the glorious bloody smell had already made him feel sick enough, originally he was still complaining about the modern air quality, but suddenly Liu Mang felt that this haze was really lovely.

  "Ahhhh, I'm Liu Mang and I'm back!" Liu Mang suddenly shouted loudly, startling many passersby.

  "This guy is crazy!" A young couple walking beside Liu Mang was startled by him.

  "How sickening! What are you yelling about in broad daylight? Who doesn't know you're a thug?"

  "This guy is something, never seen anyone admit to being a hooligan before!" Another fat passerby heard Liu Mang's words and actually gave him a thumbs up.

  "Hooligan?!" All the self-proclaimed beauties tightly protected their own miniskirts.

  In Liu Mang's eyes, whether they were protected or not made no difference. It was so short that only a fool wouldn't be able to see what color it was inside.

  Luckily Liu Mang had changed into the clean clothes he brought with him earlier, otherwise wearing ancient robes would have really gotten him sent to the police station.

  "Five hundred kilograms of gold!" Liu Mang's hands grasped the sack uncontrollably excited.

  In Kaiyang, Liu Meng had already coveted the pile of gold, but he endured it to avoid losing face. Now, as he touched the bulge in the cloth bag, the texture and feeling made him feel extremely pleased.

  Five hundred catties, Liu Meng really couldn't lift it. Fortunately, he still had 5,000 yuan on him, so Liu Meng generously hailed a taxi and headed in the direction of the school.

  Liu Mang didn't understand the big truth, but he knew the truth that wealth shouldn't be revealed. If he took this 500 jin of gold to sell directly, then there was only one possibility left for Liu Mang, and that was to lose both himself and his goods. This was something worth 75 million! Who wouldn't be tempted?

  The only person who can help Liu Mang is Chen Yi, although Liu Mang doesn't know what Chen Yi does, he knows that Chen Yi's family is very wealthy and not just ordinary rich.

  He had been to Chen Yi's house once, which was located in the Huan Shan Villa District. The land in Jinling was originally worth its weight in gold, and an ordinary house would cost at least 200,000 yuan per square meter. A villa like this one would cost around 1 million yuan per square meter, and it was hard to find a buyer even at that price. Chen Yi's house had at least 500 square meters, and the total value of Liu Mang's gold would be equivalent to the price of one of Chen Yi's houses.

  "Hello? Who is this?" Chen Yi was at home, it was already afternoon and she didn't have any classes in the afternoon, so she had come back home. As soon as she got home, her phone rang, and when she opened it, she found an unfamiliar number.

  Holding doubts, Chen Yi opened her mobile phone and answered it.

  "Chen Yi is me, I am Liu Mang!" Liu Mang said into the phone.

  "Liu Mang?!" Chen Yi heard it, this voice is indeed Liu Mang's. "Liu Mang, I was just looking for you!" Chen Yi had many things to ask Liu Mang. That general's robe, after she bought it back from Liu Mang, was seen by her own grandfather and identified as a general's robe from the late Han dynasty! To be able to wear such a robe, one would have to be at least a prefectural governor-level figure.

  Don't even mention its archaeological value, this thing from the Eastern Han dynasty is worth tens of millions of dollars, just like an antique. You see, a single Wang Mang coin can sell for over a million!

  But this robe was bought by himself from Liu Mang's hands for 20,000 yuan, which made Chen Yi really uneasy. Chen Yi originally planned to find Liu Mang and return the general's robe to him, but it was taken away by his own grandfather and occupied as his own.

  "Coincidentally, I was looking for you too!" Liu Mang was taken aback, what did Chen Yi want with him? Was it because of those two suits of armor?

  "Where are you?!" The two of them asked this question in unison.

  "Let's meet at school!" They chimed in unison. The two fell silent, and finally Liu Mang spoke up "I'll be waiting for you at the anime club activity room!"

  "Alright! I'll drive over right away!" Chen Yi hung up the phone, got out of bed, put on her clothes and was about to walk out the door.

  "Where is Xiao Yi going?!" This voice was Chen Yi's mother, a strong and capable woman who was well-respected in the business world.

  "Mom, I have something to attend to at school!" Chen Yi replied.

  "Go to school? Don't you have no classes today?" Chen Yi's mother asked in surprise.

  "It's not a class! It's the owner of that general's robe from last time who has returned, and I'm going this time to see him and buy that robe!" Chen Yi said. That robe was something his grandfather liked too much, it was already impossible to return it, and he could only compensate Liu Mao with money.

  "Is that your grandfather's robe?!" Chen Yi's mother was also stunned, she remembered that her father-in-law had recently fallen in love with an ancient Han costume and wore it everywhere to show off, saying it was a general's robe.

  "Yes!" Chen Yi nodded.

  "Is your money enough to buy this robe?!" Chen Yi's mother didn't understand these antiques, but she knew their prices. A well-preserved Han Dynasty general's ceremonial attire was absolutely priceless. "Here, take this card! There are 50 million in it!" This card was originally the welfare bonus for this time, and Chen Yi's mother hadn't used it, directly handing it over to Chen Yi.

  "Five hundred million?! Chen Yi didn't accept it. "Mom doesn't need that much, at most a few tens of millions!" A few tens of millions was still within the limit of Chen Yi's card.

  "Here you go! Just return it to Mom after you're done shopping!" Chen Yi's mother stuffed it into Chen Yi's hand.

  "Okay, then I'm off, mom! Bye!"

  "Be careful on the road!"

  "Got it, mom!" Chen Yi walked into the garage and started the car.

  Hong's animation club activity room, Liu Mang spent all his energy to move the gold into the activity room and collapsed on the ground after finishing.

  "Ka ka!" The activity room door was opened and a beautiful figure walked in.

  The two of them exchanged a glance and said in unison

  Liu Mang

  Chen Yi

  The two of them were stunned, pausing for a moment as if waiting for the other to speak first. Looking at each other with hesitation, they opened their mouths again.

  "You go first!" "You go first!"

  Both of their eyes widened.

  "I'm looking for you because I have something to discuss!" "I'm looking for you because I have something to discuss!"

  The corners of their mouths twitched, wanting to laugh but unable to.

  "About that robe!" The two thought of it at the same time.

  "Ah, it's that robe!" Chen Yi nodded.

  "Do you regret buying it?!" Liu Mang asked in puzzlement. He had sold that robe to Chen Yi for 20,000 taels of silver. If Chen Yi had regretted it earlier, Liu Mang really wouldn't have known how to return the money! But now that he had gold, if Chen Yi regretted it, then he would just return the money from selling the gold to her.

  "No, no!" Chen Yi shook her head "That robe is much more expensive than what I bought!"

  "It's not a pity, it's not a pity, then it doesn't matter, the extra money is nothing!" In Liu Mang's view, what more money can come out? At most, it's just that golden thread, maybe weighing a few kilograms, and a few thousand dollars at most. For now having 500 kilograms of gold, these thousands are nothing!

  "No way!" Chen Yi disagreed "That robe is worth over 30 million!"

  "Hey, our relationship is worth more than that little money!" Liu Mang had just finished speaking when he was stunned. "You, what are you talking about?!"

  "I said that robe might be worth over 30 million, and I didn't specifically go to appraise it, but based on the price of another slightly damaged general's robe sold at a previous Hong Kong auction, which reached 35.5 million!" Chen Yi explained.

  "So that's what you mean, the robe is really worth over 3 million?!" Liu Mang swallowed a mouthful of saliva. This robe was just an ordinary garment that Lü Bu had taken from himself and given to Liu Mang after his clothes were damaged.

  Lü boss, one set of clothes is worth over 30 million?!

  "Hmm!" Chen Yi continued, "I gave you 200,000 yuan before, so now I still owe you 35.3 million! Let's go to the bank and transfer it!"

  "Over 3 million?! One piece of clothing over 3 million?! Liu Mang finally understood why Lü Boss was being so extravagant. Even if it's a rich family in this world, it's impossible to spend over 3 million on just one coat!"

  Chen Yi looked at Liu Mang's stunned expression and was about to take him to the bank to transfer the money.

  "Wait a minute!" Liu Meng violently shook his head, throwing away the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind. He was stunned by the more than 30 million and almost forgot what he was supposed to do.

  "Huh?!" Chen Yi looked at Liu Mang in confusion.

  "Chen Yi, let's put that robe thing aside for now. I need to ask a favor of you!" Liu Mang said sincerely.

  "Let it go? Help out?!" Chen Yi was confused, Liu Mang's family didn't seem like one of those super rich families either. Over 3 million, it could be said that Liu Mang might not even earn that much in his lifetime, but now he just let it go. Did Liu Mang have something more important than this 3 million?

  "Besides the gown, I also want you to help me sell this thing!" Liu Mang said, pointing at that tattered cloth bag.

  "Selling things?!" Chen Yi was even more baffled by Liu Mang, what thing could be more important than over 3 million? It's just that bag of stuff, wrapped in a tattered cloth sack.

  "Are you selling gold? Even over 30 million and you still want to let it go!" Chen Yi said with a smile.

  "You really guessed it right, I'm indeed selling gold!" Liu Meng suddenly lifted up the burlap sack.

  A large bag of gold bars shone brightly under the sunlight, looking magnificent.
