Chapter 1198: True and False High Priest!
Chapter 1198
"Five hundred stones...... Also, I need your hybrid rice in Cochin!"
Five hundred stone grain was still in the second, but when he heard the last words of the high priest, Wang Chong finally showed a shocked look on his face.
Hybrid rice, this is Wang Chong's secret plan in Jiaozhi, and it is also the most important part of Wang Chong's overall plan. This news, Wang Chong has been very tightly sealed, even some important ministers in the court did not know, Wang Chong never thought that the high priest of poison would actually know about the existence of hybrid rice.
"Impossible!"
Without much thought, Wang Chong did not hesitate to refuse the request of the High Priest of Body Poison:
"Except for the Tang Dynasty, hybrid rice will never flow into any country. ”
Whether it is selfish or ruthless, for Wang Chong, hybrid rice is an untouchable benefit. Before Datang enjoys this benefit, no country can be given priority to enjoy, not only that, the body poison is adjacent to the big food, once the hybrid rice enters the body poison, it is equivalent to entering the big food. Even, the Great Food Empire can enslave all the poisoners and grow hybrid rice for them.
- Once this potential benefit is discovered, the big cannibal will definitely not hesitate to do so, this kind of enemy behavior is absolutely intolerable and invisible to Wang Chong!
"Buzz!"
As soon as Wang Chong's words fell, there was a dead silence in the hall. Aloka and Aloka also looked embarrassed. Wang Chong is really benevolent to body poison, at least in Da Shi, body poison has never enjoyed this kind of treatment. The price of one Jun of Hyderabad ore has risen from three hundred taels to one thousand seven hundred taels, and this kind of thing will happen, also because Wang Chong, changing to someone else, is absolutely impossible.
In the hearts of the two, Wang Chong is a true friend, but what the high priest did looked like he was taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail, which was a bit shameful.
"Hehe, it's okay not to agree. ”
Unexpectedly, the high priest smiled indifferently, and did not mean to dwell on this point at all:
"However, I hope that the young marquis can provide us with an additional five million stone of food!"
In the last sentence, the high priest said his true purpose. From beginning to end, the high priest did not think that he really wanted hybrid rice from Wang Chong, such an important thing, involving the entire Tang Empire, could not be easily given to a foreign race.
From beginning to end, the true purpose of the high priest was only one, and that was food.
"Yes!"
Wang Chong said briskly, without even the slightest hesitation.
From the very beginning, Wang Chong knew that the high priest's intention was not here, but to be able to feed the whole body poisoner. From the moment he came from Khorasan to the moment he stepped into the poisonous Hyderabad mine, Wang Chong saw too many starving bones along the way, and there were dead bodies everywhere.
Poverty, backwardness, and famine were far more powerful than Wang Chong knew.
Compared to the food needed for the poison, any gold and silver is actually insignificant at this time.
“...... However, I can't give you the matter of hybrid rice. However, if the High Priest just wants to help the poison people survive, maybe I can help and bring a certain number of poison people to the territory of the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth and let them survive. It's not enough to be rich, but it's definitely not starving to death!"
Wang Chong was silent for a moment and then said.
At this moment, the high priest was finally moved:
"Young Hou, thank you. ”
The wealth of the Tang Dynasty is famous all over the world, and no one understands better than the high priest that if he can get Wang Chong's help, if he can get the help of the Tang Dynasty, it is probably irreplaceable by any gold and silver. With this alone, I don't know how many lives I can live every year.
“...... I thank you on behalf of all the body poisoners, Alor, Aloka, the ore matter will be handed over to you to deal with, from now on, we will cut off the ore business of all countries such as Hetiao Zhi and Dashi, and all the ore will be supplied to Datang, in addition, every Jun of Hyderabad ore does not need one thousand seven, just according to what Hou Ye said, one thousand five hundred taels of gold. ”
Airplanes!
Hearing the words of the high priest, Wang Chong and the people behind him were all excited. The purpose of everyone's trip is Hyderabad ore, and now the poison high priest has cut off all the supplies and is going all out to mine and supply Datang, which is much better than everyone expected.
"Thank you, High Priest. ”
Wang Chong also showed a smile on his face, and after a pause, Wang Chong suddenly took out a folded piece of paper from his arms:
In addition, Wang Chong had one more thing he wanted to ask the high priest. ”
The matter of Hyderabad ore has been resolved, and the high priest has spoken, this matter is already a certainty, and there will be no more mistakes, but for Wang Chong, there is one more thing next, I am afraid that it is more important than Hyderabad ore. Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong quickly spread out the origami paper in his hand, revealing the contents on it.
"Buzz!"
Seeing the mysterious black eyes on the white paper, the high priest of body poison who had always been calm and calm, was shocked, and he took a few steps back, and his face changed in an instant.
"How do you know this kind of thing!"
The High Priest's eyes looked full of shock.
"So the high priest also knew this. ”
Wang Chong took a steep step forward, and his expression suddenly became a lot more solemn. Bahram was right, the High Priest of Poison did know a lot of secrets.
"You haven't told me where you got this sigil from. ”
The high priest raised his head, looked at Wang Chong, and said with a solemn face, his face completely devoid of his previous calmness and calmness.
Wang Chong did not hesitate, and immediately told the matter of the Elam Dynasty and the Book of Baimon.
"So the High Priest does know some Elamaite secrets?"
Wang Chong asked.
"You're looking down on me!"
The High Priest of Body Poison smiled bitterly, and quickly reacted:
"Bahram is right, but I am not the one who can answer you. ”
"Huh?!"
Wang Chong was stunned.
"Young Marquis, haven't you noticed at all? I am not a person who has lived for two hundred years at all. ”
The High Priest smiled bitterly.
Wang Chong's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and there was an indescribable feeling, at this moment, countless thoughts flew through his mind, he seemed to understand something, and it was as if he didn't understand anything.
"The high priest that Bahram told you is not me at all, the real high priest is only one person, poisoning, although I am also called the high priest, but everyone understands that I am only a substitute high priest. I can't answer your question. I can't even tell him what you're asking for. ”
The High Priest said.
In the main hall, everyone looked at each other, and Wang Chong's heart suddenly cooled.
He finally knew that when Bahram had brought him up to the High Priest of Poison, he felt that something was wrong. It turned out that what he knew about the high priest of body poison and what Bahram said was not a person at all, and there was actually another high priest in body poison, and Wang Chong never knew about it in his previous life or now.
The situation that had been clear suddenly became foggy. If you can't even contact the poisonous "high priest" in front of you, that is, he is likely to return empty-handed.
I thought I could find some information related to the catastrophe, but now it seems that it can only be empty.
"Don't even you know where he really is?"
Wang Chong said unwillingly.
"It's useless, we can't contact his old man at all, only he can contact us, and every time the acting high priest is directly selected by his old man, and there has been no sound since then. The high priest's ascetic realm is probably beyond all records, and beyond our imagination, unless he wants to see you, no one can do it. ”
"High Priest," said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, everyone in the hall changed their faces, and Wang Chong also frowned slightly. As the "High Priest", they all said that they couldn't find his existence, so didn't that mean that it was hopeless to find him this time.
"However, although none of us know where the high priest and his old man are, one thing is certain: the place of his ascetic practice must be in the mountains of Hyderabad. If Hou Ye stays here long enough, maybe he will be summoned by him, which is not impossible. ”
Just when Wang Chong's eyes could not hide the gloom, the "high priest" suddenly spoke.
"Thank you for the sacrifice!"
Wang Chong bowed slightly. The real poison high priest, his whereabouts are mysterious and unpredictable, although Wang Chong is lost in his heart, he can only accept this, just like the high priest said, try your luck.
"A Luo Jia, A Luo Wu is rare this time, the young man came to us to poison us, you and the young man are old acquaintances, take me to take good care of them!"
After a few more moments of conversation in the hall, the "High Priest" suddenly spoke to Arroga and Arro, who were beside him.
"Yes!"
Aroga and Aroga bowed down in response, knowing that the high priest was going to rest. No matter who the guests were, the high priest rarely received them for a long time, and it was unprecedented for him to receive Wang Chong for so long.
"Then Wang Chong will retire!"
Wang Chong owed, turned around and left with Aroga and Aro.
But at the moment of turning around, his gaze inadvertently swept over the right eye of the "High Priest", Wang Chong's heart fluctuated sharply, his lips moved but he didn't say anything, and quickly walked out of it.
"Two masters, the high priest with his right eye ......"
When he got out of the hall, the distance was very far, and Wang Chong finally couldn't help it.
"Master Hou has noticed ......"
The two of them were also slightly shocked, and Aroga on the side sighed slightly, sighing with emotion:
"Indeed, the high priest was blind in his right eye, and that eye was a false eye. ”
Speaking of the past, the two sighed.
"Oh, how so?"
Wang Chong frowned.
"It's a long story, it was more than ten years ago, when a group of people invaded the mine, those people were dressed in black and masked, and they were very vicious, and the high priest tried to resist, but in the end they were blinded in one eye. ”
"Is it for Hyderabad ore?"
Wang Chong was surprised.
"I don't know. ”
Aroga shook her head.
