Xiao Chen could think of what Medina was worried about, once the Great General and the monsters left the ancient battlefield, the nearby grassland tribes would most likely suffer. -.-

The green-haired monster has the combat power of a soul warrior in the Qi Martial Realm, and the green-haired monster is even closer to the Immortal Martial Realm, plus a zombie general at the level of the Xuanwu Realm, such a combination can completely sweep any tribe.

Whether it is in Dachu or the grassland, the masters of the Xuanwu Realm are rare.

Moreover, the Great General has the ability to be reborn, and his appearance will definitely cause a large area of panic.

The little marquis replied, "Don't worry, I will kill him." Nana, do you remember when we came and passed by a big blacksmith shop?"

Medina nodded: "Remember, that blacksmith shop is huge, they produce more than hundreds of thousands of arrowheads every year, and I remember there is a big melting pot over there......"

Xiao Hou Ye smiled: "That's right, that furnace is thirty meters high, with a diameter of more than ten meters, and it can melt tens of thousands of catties of steel each time." You say if we take the gold and buy the blacksmith's shop, will they sell it?"

The princess shook her head: "Probably not, I can see that their business is very good, how can they make a move easily." You mean, lure the general there and trick him into the furnace, right?"

"That's right. He said, "If I give them a price that is several times more than the smithy itself, and explain to them that it is only for a short time, and then I can sell it to them at a discount, will they sell it?"

"Definitely!"

Before running out of the valley, he buried hundreds of barrels of fire oil in the ground, and when the general and the monsters appeared, he set them on fire.

The flames burned more than a dozen meters high, trapping them inside.

He calculated that the oil would burn for at least an hour, enough to buy the blacksmith and set everything up before the enemy arrived.

......

Emperor-capital, imperial palace.

Miao Zhengqing knelt in front of the dragon book case and said to the emperor who was reviewing the chapters: "Your Majesty, you are still wise and martial, and after these days of investigation, I found that His Royal Highness the King of Qin really has a problem. ”

"Really?" the emperor put down the brush that had just been dipped in cinnabar, and asked with great interest, "What is the problem?"

Miao Zhengqing replied: "Privately expand the army and plot to rebel!"

"What?" The emperor was shocked in his heart, but he didn't show it, he straightened his face and said coldly: "Miao Zhengqing, although you have always been trusted by me, you should also know what kind of crime it is to frame a first-class vassal king. Therefore I warn you that if you talk nonsense without evidence, I will not spare you. ”

Miao Zhengqing said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, you know me, and you never do anything untargeted. According to the investigation of many lowly positions, the king of Qin secretly organized a new army with a large number of people, all composed of soul warriors, and its combat effectiveness was no less than that of the Imperial Forest Army defending the imperial city. ”

The Emperor smiled: "Impossible, just a new army, how can it be compared with my Imperial Forest Army! Not only the new army can't do it, even the strongest border army can't do it." ”

Li Dingbang has great trust in his Imperial Forest Army, and it is not blind trust, because the Royal Forest Army has the best personnel and the best equipment in the national army, and the annual cost of raising a soldier of the Royal Forest Army is enough to support more than four border troops.

Miao Zhengqing saw that the emperor didn't believe it, and said: "King Qin's new army is actually composed of veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, and its combat effectiveness should naturally not be underestimated. ”

The emperor waved his hand and said: "Then it is even more impossible, Qinzhou is located in the territory of Yuzhou in the hinterland of Great Chu, where to find so many veterans who have experienced a hundred battles." ”

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that a while ago, with the approval of your imperial pen, a group of veterans were dismissed?"

Li Dingbang frowned: "So what, what I ordered to be dismissed are the old and weak and slick incompetent, even if they are collected back by King Qin, they are just a bunch of soldiers and scum." ”

Miao Zhengqing shook his head: "Your Majesty, you are wrong again, although the revocation order is mainly based on the old and incompetent, but in the hands of the executor, whether or not His Majesty's order can be fully implemented remains to be discussed." Your Majesty, you can think about it, many people have real skills but don't know how to cater to their bosses, and people with such a straight temper are generally not liked by their superiors, they are the first to be dismissed. ”

"Do you mean that it is such a group of people that King Qin has gathered?" the emperor's expression became difficult to see.

"That's right, so I said that the new army was very combative. ”

"Continue to spy on the secret and find out where the troops are stationed, and infiltrate their leadership if necessary. "Li Dingbang is already angry.

Miao Zhengqing quietly picked the corners of his mouth, and said loudly: "Obey orders." ”

......

Jingle ......

The blacksmith shop was bustling, and although it was spring, the temperature was not very high, but it was a hot scene, with strong blacksmiths shirtless, revealing bronzed skin and strong muscles, and sweat spilled down with each swing of the hammer.

The boss was a stocky middle-aged man with a shrewdness in his eyes that distinguished him from other prairie people.

After listening to Xiao Chen's words, he shook his head without thinking about it and said: "No, I will never sell it, the blacksmith shop is my lifeblood, and it is already the fourth generation in my hands, if I sell it to you, how can I go to see my ancestors and ancestors when I die?"

Xiao Hou Ye thought that he would refuse, and said with a smile: "Twenty thousand taels of gold, you think about it." ”

The corners of the boss's mouth twitched unconsciously, the annual income of the blacksmith shop did not exceed three thousand taels of gold, and twenty thousand taels was indeed a very attractive number, equivalent to nearly eight years of income.

But he still said, "You can't sell it." ”

There is only one word difference between not selling and not being able to sell, but the meaning is completely different, which shows that his heart has been shaken.

The little marquis stretched out three fingers: "Thirty thousand taels of gold! And I only use a short time, when the time comes, you can buy everything here again, and I will give you a seven-fold discount!"

The boss's eyes lit up, 30,000 taels was an astronomical amount for him, 300,000 taels if it was exchanged for silver, and 3 million taels when it was exchanged for Dachu copper coins, which could not be spent in a few lifetimes.

Moreover, if you can really buy the blacksmith shop back in a short time, it is equivalent to making 10,000 taels of gold easily.

He couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, took a deep breath and said, "I have to say, the temptation of 30,000 taels of gold is very great, but young man, are you sure you are not entertaining me? To be honest, I really don't believe that you can come up with 30,000 taels of gold. ”

30,000 taels of gold is not a small amount, such a large transaction, under normal circumstances, it takes at least ten or eight times to finalize it, but looking at Xiao Chen's appearance, it seems that he has to hand over on the spot.

The little marquis turned around and pointed to Martina outside, and said, "Do you see a few wooden boxes at her feet, they are full of gold, one box is 10,000 taels, like a fake." As long as you agree, you can go over and pick up three boxes right away, and pick up whatever you want. Boss, you have to think clearly, there is absolutely no such shop in this village. ”

Medina tacitly opened a wooden box, reflecting a dazzling golden light in the sunlight.

The boss was heartbroken: "Okay, I'll sell! But you have to sign with me." ”

"Of course. He took out the contract that had been written long ago from his bosom, handed it to the boss and said, "Look at it, if it's okay, let's sign it now." ”

With that, he smiled at Medina and did it easily.
