0098 Indemnification
"If I had been patrolling the night, I would have died a long time ago, but I am not as rough and thick as you, and I can't even shoot a crossbow to death. ”
Du Dayan walked over from the side, and just heard Tie Niu's words, he couldn't help but interject.
"How many brothers were killed or wounded?"
Zhang Qingfeng turned his head to look at Du Dayan.
Du Dayan's face suddenly darkened, and he said: "There are twenty-seven dead brothers and sixty-four injured, fortunately Tie Niu warned in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Alliance leader, this matter can't just be settled, you have to let Xiong Lie give an explanation, brothers can't die in vain. ”
Zhang Qingfeng took a deep breath and said slowly: "We have calculated the Iron Wolf King, and now we have been calculated by the Iron Wolf King, it is also a causal cycle, there is nothing to complain about, since we can't kill the Tang Praetorian Guard to avenge the dead brother, what's the point of saying the law? In the final analysis, our cultivation is still too low, if everyone is in the Qi Transformation Realm, what is the point of a mere machine iron crossbow? In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is a joke, look at Xiong Lie's attitude for a while, the dead cannot be resurrected, but they should always come out of the settlement fee." ”
......
......
"Dao Fengping is the uncle of the Iron Wolf King, the division is out of Baiyun Mountain, I have seen him a few times, yesterday at noon he suddenly found me, saying that the princess was hijacked by a group of treasure hunters, the Iron Wolf King chased them and was ambushed, and suffered heavy casualties, so I sent a message to let me take someone to rescue the princess, and said that the treasure hunting team that hijacked the princess was scheming, good at jungle warfare, and offered a sneak attack, I agreed. ”
"Who would have thought that the Iron Wolf King actually colluded with foreign enemies and wanted to use the princess as a hostage to blackmail His Majesty, if it weren't for Zhang Gongzi's timely action, the princess would have been killed by Dao Fengping, and the final pursuit was also thanks to Gongzi and the guard beside Gongzi, if he hadn't blocked a knife, I would have been seriously injured even if I didn't die, I don't know how injured that brother was?
In the tent, Xiong Lie, who was wearing black armor and heroic, told Zhang Qingfeng with an apologetic face about being deceived.
"The medicine is not needed, the person who blocked the knife for you is called Rabbit, it is my personal guard, after treatment, my life was saved, I saw you not to listen to you apologize, but to talk about the compensation for the twenty-seven brothers who were killed by you by mistake, you killed the person, no matter what the reason, you must always give a little compensation." ”
Zhang Qingfeng's tone was indifferent, Xiong Lie hadn't spoken yet, but the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, who had been looking at him unpleasantly from the moment he entered the door, couldn't help but snort coldly, and interjected: "Zhang Feng, are you deaf? My generals have said that it was just a misunderstanding last night, what compensation do you want? Is your brain in water?"
Zhang Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on this middle-aged general in his forties, with a clear face and sharp eyes, and said word by word: "Do you dare to repeat what you just said again?"
"You ......"
"Deputy Commander!"
Xiong Lie interrupted this right-hand man who didn't know the times, smiled at Zhang Qingfeng, and said: "Lord Zhang Meng's anger, the Dragon Slayer League was mistakenly killed by the Praetorian Guards so many people, we should compensate, no matter what the reason is, it is a fact that people died in our hands, let's say, how many spars do you want?"
"Spar, although our Dragon Slayer Alliance is not comparable to the Tang Imperial Family, it is not lacking a few spars. Zhang Qingfeng said lightly.
"What do you want from the leader of the Zhang League?"
"Weapons. ”
"Weapons?" Xiong Lieleng paused, his brain teaser turned, and he nodded and smiled thoughtfully: "So that's the case, it's okay, this time our Praetorian Guards entered the mountain, and each of us brought a few extra spare swords, these are all the best products of our Tang Imperial Armory, since they ......"
"No more knives, guns and sticks. Zhang Qingfeng interrupted Xiong Lie, "I'm only interested in one thing about the Praetorian Guard. ”
"Please. ”
"Iron-piercing crossbow. ”
Hearing these words, the expression on Xiong Lie's face instantly froze: "Do you want our Datang's machine iron crossbow?"
"No way?"
"This ......"
"If General Xiong is embarrassed, then please go back. ”
"That's not what it means, it's just that this iron crossbow is the secret of my Tang Dynasty, and no one is allowed to spread it, otherwise it will be severely punished by Tang Law, or else, Zhang Mengzhu will change something else?"
Zhang Qingfeng smiled slightly mockingly: "I'm not interested in anything else." ”
Xiong Lie frowned a little embarrassed, gritted his teeth after thinking for a moment, and said: "Master Zhang, our Praetorian Guard is at fault first, so I will send you a few machine iron crossbows to make amends, as for His Majesty to investigate it afterwards, all the responsibility will be borne by me alone." ”
If these words were listened to by others, how could they be polite with guilt, but Zhang Qingfeng asked with a reasonable expression: "I don't know how many General Xiong is going to give me?"
Xiong Lie stretched out his two palms and said with a painful face: "Ten!"
"Heh......" Zhang Qingfeng was happy, "General Xiong is sending Hanako, and the lives of my twenty-seven brothers are only worth ten iron crossbows?"
The deputy commander surnamed Yuan couldn't listen to it anymore, and scolded: "Zhang Feng, don't go too far, do you know how precious my Datang's iron armor-piercing crossbow is? Not to mention twenty-seven humble hunters, even two hundred and seventy lives can't be exchanged for ten armor-piercing crossbows, it's really ignorant of lifting!"
Zhang Qingfeng was not angry because of the evil words of the deputy commander, but chuckled lightly and said, "Then two hundred and seventy will be fine, and one less will not work." ”
"Ha, you kid is crazy, aren't you?" The deputy general, who was already unaccustomed to seeing Zhang Qingfeng's indifferent appearance, was angry, "Commander, this kid actually wants two hundred and seventy iron crossbows, do you think he is crazy about money?"
The expression on Xiong Lie's face was a little embarrassed, and he said, "Master Zhang, you may not know the value of the machine iron crossbow, we only have two thousand crossbows in the entire Tang Dynasty, and you will ask for two hundred and seventy when you open your mouth, which is too much." ”
Zhang Qingfeng said: "I naturally know the preciousness of the machine iron crossbow, otherwise I wouldn't have asked for it by name." However, I originally wanted a hundred and eighty sticks, but your lieutenant was a cheap guy and talked nonsense, so I had to ask for a few more. Two hundred and seventy, one can't be less, you can give it or not, as for bargaining, there is no need, the price I said, it will not be changed, General Xiong will consider it himself. ”
"Zhang Feng, you ......"
"Shut up!"
Xiong Lie turned his head violently and scolded the lieutenant general, the light flashing in his eyes was like a knife, and the lieutenant general was like falling into an ice cellar, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
The next time was spent in bargaining, to be precise, in the process of Xiong Lie begging Zhang Qingfeng to lower his standards, but Zhang Qingfeng made up his mind that he would not want any of the two hundred and seventy less, and in the end Xiong Lie had to grit his teeth and agree like cutting meat.
