"If the price is right, our border army will naturally need it."

Qian Shuisheng didn't want to accept it directly, so he asked with a smile: "I just don't know what kind of sale method you are going to sell, Mr. Zhou?" ”

Zhou Chen licked his lips when he heard this:

"Huh. My family wants this number. ”

Saying,

He slowly stretched out a palm and stretched out three fingers between the dozen generals in the tent.

Looking at this gesture, Qian Shuisheng looked as usual:

"Three million taels is not bad"

"Thirty million."

“.” Thousand aquatic beings.

Zhou Chen broke the silence with a dry laugh, with a smile in his eyes:

"Elder Qian, the Yun Qi bomb is expensive, and the cost of three million taels can't be recovered."

There was silence in the tent, and Qian Shuisheng stopped talking, but his eyes calmly swept over the rest of the people.

"Alas"

The brief silence was followed by a sigh, and a middle-aged woman in armor sighed with a hint of a hint of teasing:

"Mr. Zhou, I waited for 300,000 border troops to regain Beifeng, in this bloody battle, the imperial court did not arrange reinforcements, and now even the ordnance has to be purchased privately by me. Aren't you afraid of the soldiers' hearts? ”

Zhou Chen glanced back at the woman.

He thought that his face was already very thick, but this woman's face was directly gone.

After a moment's pause, Zhou Chen's brain center thought about electricity, and he didn't smile:

"My old sister's words are a bit too much, and my family is not in the imperial court, and the Yun Qi bullet for this trip is also from his old man's private inventory, how can I talk about making the border soldiers feel cold?"

Speaking of which,

Zhou Chen stood up straight, clasped his hands into fists and arched his hands towards the sky, and said loudly: "On the contrary, it is precisely because my family is worried about the country and the people, and the lives of these 300,000 soldiers under the northern blockade, that Zhou came to ask you, and I hope you can understand this intention." ”

The middle-aged woman snorted coldly.

And at this time,

General Hou, who had a scar on his face, suddenly chuckled sadly:

"In this way, Mr. Zhou is not an envoy of the imperial court, right?"

If you are not an envoy of the court, you don't have that layer of skin as a talisman, and if you are killed, it will be a personal contradiction at most, and there will be no dispute over righteousness.

Zhou Chen scolded secretly in his heart when he heard this, stared at the person who spoke out, and paused word by word:

"This old brother, Zhou is just the microphone of my family, and his life is cheap, it should not be as good as the lives of all famous families, let alone these 300,000 soldiers."

Don't give Lao Tzu this set, it's okay to kill me, but without Yun Qi bullets, can you beat the hundreds of thousands of troops on the barbarian side?

General Hou's eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes:

"Mr. Zhou, it is true that the festival of righteousness and death is true."

"Alright."

Qian Shuisheng interrupted General Hou's words again at this time, and turned to Zhou Chen and smiled: "Mr. Zhou, if we agree to the conditions of the Ling family, how will Yun Qi Bullet be handed over?" How do I pay for the goods? ”

"Elder Qian, simply."

Zhou Chen's heart was slightly relieved when he heard this, arched his hand, and said with a smile:

"The delivery of the Yun Qi bomb. You can set a time, and then my family will arrange for someone to deliver it on time. ”

"Snort"

With a low laugh, the young female general Liu Mei was a little sarcastic: "Mr. Zhou, the white wolf with empty gloves also needs a limit, how can we trust you?" In case the Yunqi bullet is fictitious, won't the property of our border army be taken away by you in vain? ”

Zhou Chen had already had a draft about this, and said without hesitation:

"Yun Qi bullets have also been supplied to your army before, among you should be people who have seen the real thing, and you should also know that the structure of Yun Qi bullets is not stable, and cannot be stored in the Sumeru Ring, if your army is willing to send elites to fetch it, my lord can provide a place to hide Yun Qi bullets for your army."

“.”

The young female general sneered: "It's snowing so hard outside, send an army to escort it?" Are you blind when the wolf cavalry roams the barbarians? ”

Zhou Chen spread his hands very lightly:

"Since your army is unwilling, then arrange for a high-level cultivator to go with Zhou to pick it up, so that the possibility of exposure will be smaller, and the three delivery methods are up to your army."

"I don't say it beforehand."

Qian Shui looked thoughtful, and asked coldly: "Then Mr. Zhou, how are your adults going to take over the payment for the goods we are waiting for?" ”

Zhou Chen grinned and arched his hand upwards again:

"My lord said that he doesn't want the title deed, he doesn't want the Chamber of Commerce's dry shares, and he doesn't want any certificate of deed related to the northern industry, and only accepts cash and silver tickets or cultivation resources, of course, if your army is willing to sell military baggage, my lord is willing to buy it at a premium of five times the market price.

The voice fell, and there was a brief silence.

The expressions on the faces of a dozen commanders with heavy troops in their hands became a little strange.

This is a bit informative.

Don't have any real estate

The Tian'an Chamber of Commerce of Xiangguo Mansion and the Royal Chamber of Commerce of the Imperial Court have broken their heads in recent years and yearned for their northern side to drill, and now there is such an opportunity to intervene in the northern market openly and honestly, and it is impossible for the people behind Mr. Zhou not to seize it.

It shouldn't be that I don't want it, and the person behind Mr. Zhou can't want it.

Even if the real estate is a thing that allows his cronies to be named, he does not participate in the management and only accepts dividends every year, but every time he delivers benefits, he has one more possibility of exposure.

Time passes minute by minute,

Qian Shuisheng's eyes staring at Zhou Chen became smiling:

"Can I ask, why don't your lords want real estate in the north?"

Zhou Chen didn't think about it, and directly followed Xu Yuan's instructions, and said directly:

"The outflow of strategic resources like Yunqi bomb, and the adults of my family can't afford this responsibility."

“.”

The originally tense atmosphere in the camp gradually relaxed with these words, and many generals even showed a smile on their faces.

Yes, the person behind Mr. Zhou seems to be a high-level executive of the Xiangguo Mansion who resells materials.

If you have power in your hands, you will naturally make the best use of it, and if you don't use it, it will expire and be invalid.

Hollow out the public house and feed the small family.

Many of the formations of the Xiangguo Mansion were ahead of the entire Great Yan, just like the original Ghost Mist Great Array.

Although Gewuyuan was strictly guarded, it was still sold at a high price in the end.

But that's not what makes them happy.

Since the person behind Mr. Zhou is privately reselling, it means that the other party does not dare to publicize it, and he can bargain, and there is a lot of room for bargaining.

Qianshuisheng's old face trembled, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Zhou, 30 million taels is not a small number, can I bother you to wait outside the account for a while, we need to discuss."

Zhou Chen clenched his fists when he heard this, and smiled at Qian Shuisheng:

"In that case, I'll wait outside the tent."

With that, Zhou Chen walked out of the tent under the gaze of a room of strong people.

“.”

The curtain fell, and the originally relaxed atmosphere in the tent suddenly became solemn again, and even solemn.

Qian Shuisheng on the main seat squinted, and suddenly sneered:

"What do you think. Who is behind Mr. Zhou? ”

"It shouldn't be Lou Ji and Zong Qingsheng."

The scar-faced man spoke up: "They have no children and no daughters, they are all loyal to Xu Yinhe, and their position is too high, it is unlikely that they will do anything to betray the interests of the Prime Minister's government." ”

The entire Xiangguo Mansion is theirs, and they can ask for whatever they want, and there is no need for this kind of means to gain benefits.

The young woman chuckled and said:

"Elder Qian, I don't think it matters who it is, as long as you can provide us with Yun Qi bullets."

The grumpy burly man snorted softly:

"30 million taels is too much, the war situation last year was unfavorable, and the military expenditure of hundreds of thousands of border troops in our northern border added up to only about 70 million taels a year."

The scar-faced man smiled:

"This expense is indeed a bit too high, I have to wait to find those sects in the south to ask for more benefits, our northern sects will withstand the pressure for them, and wait until next year's Tianyuan Dabi, and redivide the resources to find those old immortals in the Jiangnan area to ask for more benefits."

The words fell, and there was a low laugh.

The sect is a big collective, and there are rules that belong to them.

The border sects contributed people, and the rich land obtained materials.

The Saint's counterattack before his death was resisted by their Northern Sect, and they naturally had a reason to ask for benefits from the sects in other places.

The conversation box opened, and some generals who were good friends with each other began to talk and laugh and plan for the coming year.

But when some people talk and laugh, naturally some people are silent, and there are not a few silent people.

The atmosphere in the tent was soon interrupted by a warm voice:

"Now that it's halftime, you're ready to start celebrating?"

The person who spoke was none other than the handsome young man from the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines, but he couldn't dominate the crowd, he looked at the silent old man on the main seat:

"Elder Qian, you should have something to say, right?"

“.”

Hearing this, Qian Shuisheng slowly raised his eyes and exhaled:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the person behind Mr. Zhou may indeed be providing us with Yun Qi Bullets for personal gain, but they also want to watch us fight to the death with that barbarian, once the cloud qi is dispelled, how do you think that barbarian alien king will react?"

The grumpy burly man arched his hand, with an excited smile on the corner of his lips:

"Elder Qian, the snow clouds have been dispersed, and those barbarians have lost the blessing of the heavenly time, and they will inevitably avoid the edge of our army, so we can directly attack the Northern Seal City and hold on."

"What if they don't avoid it?"

Qian Shuisheng asked rhetorically, and then said: "The barbarian king is not a fool, once Beifeng is recaptured by us, they will directly become turtles in the urn." ”

Speaking of which,

Qian Shuisheng sighed leisurely: "The Yunqi bullet directly changed the entire battle situation, and now the barbarian army near Beifeng is roughly estimated to have more than 400,000, if you fight a tough battle with them, even if you win, we will lose a lot, and then the imperial court will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

The young female general's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and a little anger appeared between her eyebrows:

"And now we're dragging it like this? If we had chosen to reinforce Beifeng, there would have been no such thing as this at all. ”

The middle-aged woman in armor glanced at the young female general and sneered:

"Little girl, the original decision was made by everyone together, why, now that the predicament is coming, you want to take yourself out in a hurry?"

When the scar man heard this, he chuckled and said:

"Mrs. Wang, the original decision was indeed made by us together, but I remember that it should be you and your father-in-law"

"That's it! All say less. ”

Qian Shuisheng saw that the atmosphere below began to become tense, and immediately shouted: "What we need in today's situation is to be unanimous with the outside world!" Let's talk about their own countermeasures. ”

“.”

Silence began to spread, and no one answered.

In silence,

Suddenly, someone said coldly:

"Can we find another way to lure the barbarians north?"

Another person said directly:

"How? The barbarians knew that Houting County had a celestial weapon like Yun Qi Bullet, and attacked the well-equipped Houting County defense circle on a sunny day? Scold. As long as the barbarian alien king doesn't have the same water in his brain as you, he knows that we are better offensive. ”

The person who spoke out showed murderous intent in his eyes:

"Dai Xiangfei, I have the face to say that I have one-third of the supplies, I will give them, I really don't know."

"Shut up!"

Qian Shuisheng whispered again, with helplessness in his eyes.

In fact, he had expected this situation.

With the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the internal contradictions of the coalition forces break out, and Mr. Zhou, who came with Yun Qi bullets, just detonated this contradiction in advance.

The tailwind is all brothers, and the headwind is full of mother hunters.

At this moment, the shortcomings of the chaotic command system of the coalition forces began to be revealed.

Rubbing his eyebrows vigorously, Qian Shuisheng swept around the generals and said loudly:

"It's useless to say more, there are only two ways in front of us now, first, we will continue to hold on and wait and see what happens, and second, use Yunqi bullets to attack the Northern Blockade City."

"Don't you have to fight those barbarians in the end?"

"Yes."

Qian Shuisheng's tone remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "We can't avoid this at all in the current situation. ”

Several mistakes in decision-making have directly led to the current situation being a dead end for them.

was designed to abandon Houting County to reinforce Beifeng, and then because of the decision to misjudge the ambition of the barbarian king, as well as the speed of Wucheng Hou and Zong Qingsheng to go south, he was directly stuck outside the Beifeng City, leaving the barbarian army to wait on the side.

If they want to break the game, they have to fight a tough battle.

After a moment of silence, the scar-faced man asked aloud:

"Elder Qian, I don't know which path you prefer?"

Qian Shuisheng glanced at him and tapped the armrest of the main seat with his fingertips:

"The latter."

"The latter?" The Scar Man frowned, his eyes thoughtful, but it soon became clear that this was the best option for now.

Qian Shuisheng said in a low voice:

"Our army is in prison, but the barbarians are more anxious than us, and the longer they wait, the more likely it is that the imperial army will move south, and at that time, our camp without a formation will not be able to play any protective role at all.

"If we use the cloud qi to open the way and retake the Northern Seal as quickly as possible, the barbarians may retreat and return to the depths of the north along the mountain road they came from.

"It's the kind of play I've lost the least so far.

"Of course, we still need to plan in detail about the marching rules."

Zhou Chen left, taking a few Sumeru rings and two Erpin Yuanchu quietly leaving the sect's camp by means of wind and snow.

And when they departed,

A pair of eyes with a faint blue light were quietly standing on the hillside in the distance, watching them.

Until the three of them completely disappeared from his field of vision, the burly figure silently turned away and disappeared into the wind and snow
