Chapter 029 [Blackmailing Zhang Jiao]
I'm Liu Bei.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Zhang Jiao said in a very provocative tone: "Are you sure to get out alive this time?" ”
"Whether you are alive or not is all in the mind of the sect leader." I replied slowly.
"Hahaha......" Zhang Jiao laughed wildly: "It turns out that you are just like this, you will still bow to the old man!" ”
"Haha~" I laughed, laughing wilder than his.
"The sect leader has misunderstood. The following refers to the Taiping Dao, not the person. ”
Zhang Jiao's excited face suddenly covered with a shadow, and his eyes returned to their previous murderous spirit.
"Before Dong Zhuo's 100,000 troops approached the village, although the White Snake Village had nearly 10,000 guards, it lacked weapons. As the so-called good woman is difficult to cook without rice. Whether the White Snake Village can resist the encirclement and suppression of the court is all in the thought of the sect leader. And the elites of Taiping Dao are believed to be concentrated in White Snake Village, right? ”
I said aloud, and Zhang Jiao's eyes gradually lost their murderous aura, and they were replaced by hesitation. If he loses this battle and the elites of Taiping Dao are killed, he can disband Taiping Dao and hide in the mountains to farm, what country is he going to seek?
Zhang Jiao didn't speak, turned around to look at the picture of the immortal wandering, as if asking the immortal in the picture for help.
"The sect leader must have heard that there are four clans living in the White River Gorge, and one of them is the Baili clan, who is good at smelting iron and crafting weapons. And down there, it was their new patriarch. If the leader wishes, he can provide all the weapons he needs, including arrows. ”
Zhang Jiao naturally knew about this, otherwise the maid would not have asked Bu Ji if he had brought back the weapon. The reason why I emphasize this is to tell him: I can help him, but there are conditions.
"If you don't think about it, an outsider can be their patriarch." Zhang Jiao turned his head, but he still asked with a disapproving look on his face: "Exchange weapons for life?" ”
"Of course not. Although you are the patriarch of the lower body, you can't use the public goods in the clan privately. ”
"What do you mean......?" Zhang Jiao's tone told me that he had guessed what I was thinking.
"Do business." He replied in a tone of non-deterfuge.
This idea is based on the fact that he is out of stock, and I have it. In the face of vital interests, I believe that I will not be rejected.
"Do you think the old man will make a deal with his enemies?"
I pretended to be B and said, "If you can't kill me with a knife, and I come back to life, we will still do business, as long as the price is fair." ”
Zhang Jiao thought for a while and said, "Are you afraid that the Han army will take the opportunity to wipe out your clan after breaking the White Snake Village?" ”
"The Sect Master is really far-sighted. With the White Snake Village in front, I'm not afraid. ”
I believe Zhang Jiao can hear the meaning: If you want to die, it is also your Taiping Dao's White Snake Village that hangs up first, what am I afraid of. Isn't this the emperor not in a hurry to kill the eunuch? I don't want to be a eunuch.
"Aren't you afraid that the old man will kill you first, and then attack the canyon to seize the weapon?" Zhang Jiao said with a slight threat.
"I'm just afraid that the sect leader will be wiped out before he gets the weapon." I replied lightly. Look straight into those deep, elusive eyes.
Dong Zhuo's 100,000 Han army was his common enemy, and the people of the Gorge had common interests with Taiping Dao at this time. I'm sure he won't do it, and he's sure I'm not going to help him. The so-called cold lips and teeth, everyone understands this truth.
After looking at each other for a long time, I felt that the air in the room seemed to be suspicious, and time seemed to stand still.
Zhang Jiaoqian retracted his fierce gaze: "Sure enough, he is very bold." How many weapons do you have? ”
"Enough for everyone in the village."
"Make an offer!"
I stretched out my right palm.
"Five hundred taels of gold, the old man is still out." Zhang Jiao sneered.
I shook my head. Secretly said: "Think of the beauty, the weapons used by 10,000 people are worth five hundred taels of gold?" According to the market price, it will cost 1,000 taels. ”
"You are really a lion, and you actually ask for five thousand taels of gold!" Zhang Jiao said with a slight anger.
"No, no!" I hurriedly said, "The sect leader has misunderstood. How can you use 5,000 taels of weapons for such a weapon, at least 50,000 taels of gold! As soon as I finished speaking, I threw out the image of a profiteer.
"You're blackmailing!" Zhang Jiao shouted angrily. It was the first time I saw him angry.
The Sect Master was angry. Since ancient times, our people have made a living by selling iron. As the saying goes, 'don't open for three years, open for three years'! ”
Zhang Jiao did not speak. It seems that he is very dissatisfied. However, does he dare to compete with me for the future of Taiping Dao? Naturally, I didn't dare. So he picked out and said: "I believe that the future of Taiping Road will not only be worth 50,000 taels of gold, right?" ”
Actually, I shouldn't say this, but I'm too anxious to wait.
Zhang Jiao thought about it again and said, "You have to be allowed to bargain in business, 25,000 gold." ”
"If so, there is something to ask for below." He cut the price in half at once, so he had to make some compensation.
At present, 25,000 gold is already twenty-five times the market price, and it is very satisfying to sell the weapon at this price, and there is no need to bargain with him again. As a businessman, you can't do business to the end. "Previously, the Han army was stationed in Jieqiao Town, and I believe that in order to avoid being besieged for several months and running out of food, there must be a large amount of grain in the village.
As the leader of a clan, you have to keep the livelihood of your people at heart. There is not much food left in the tribe, and in forty days the barns will be empty. And now is a good opportunity to "want" food, and we must not let it go.
"A thousand stones of rice."
"Refreshing!" I got up and made a gesture. This thousand stones of grain is worth less than a thousand gold, but it is difficult to find nowadays. "The Han army will arrive tomorrow, and the weapons will be transported overnight in the valley." This is a good time to borrow words and leave.
Zhang Jiao slapped his palms twice, and the door opened, and a maid entered.
"Go to the treasury and get twenty-five thousand gold here."
The maid bowed out of the house and closed the door. Silence returned to the room. Being alone with such a terrifying big man is really suffocating and intriguing.
"Sect Master, there is something unclear below, please advise."
"Say."
"Since the sect leader is still here, why not change his identity and appear as the village master's longbow?"
When Zhang Jiao heard this, a helpless look appeared on his face that he didn't want to say. "Since the battle of Guangzong, the elders of the sect have put the responsibility for the defeat on the old man. According to the canon, the old man must be martyred. ”
After listening to his sigh, he felt that Taiping Dao was not the world of his Zhang Jiao alone. After all, this organization with religious overtones still has its limitations.
At this moment, it seems that he is no longer a rebel, and I am not the captain of the Han, just two friends sitting together and talking. If it weren't for their own aspirations, this scenario could really be imagined.
Soon the maid knocked at the door and entered. Zhang Jiao ordered her to send me back to the valley. He put on a yellow scarf and went out to deal with the nine hall masters. When parting, Zhang Jiao said lightly: "In ten days, the White Snake Village will be transferred elsewhere." If you want to keep the canyon safe, this is a strategic location, and you must first occupy it before the Han army arrives. ”
"Thank you for your attention." I thank you. In his heart, he wondered how he could be so kind to remind him, and he didn't know what kind of trick was buried in it. It is also possible that in response to an old saying: the enemy is the friend who knows him best. Since they are friends, it is not necessary to send some benefits to each other.
