Chapter 721: Robbery while the fire is on
PS: The demons have ransacked the strategic reserves of the Celestial Dragon Empire, Lord Greg came to find the protagonist, what does he want to do?
Ransacking the reserve treasury of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, this is a crime that can never be cleared up, and I don't know how to clear it up? Demons and humans are destined to fight to the death, will Sikong Zhengyang listen to these guys' explanations? The answer is obvious.
The Demon Martial Exchange Meeting was suspended and postponed indefinitely, according to official sources, it was postponed for five days, however, Murong Yu believed that the Heavenly Dragon Empire would soon reverse the entire situation. The entire Celestial Dragon Empire entered the first level of combat readiness, and the streets were full of patrolling soldiers, who searched for the whereabouts of the demons from house to house.
The red list has been posted, providing news of the demon race, once confirmed, a reward of ten thousand gold! This news is like a southeast wind blowing from the dark sea, instantly sweeping the entire Tianlong Empire. Many people even put down their work and immediately threw themselves into the search for demons.
Large and small adventurer teams, mercenary guilds, thieves' guilds, and even wizards' guilds and warrior guilds are all dispatched. Finally, I heard that the Martial God Temple also dispatched the Templars, and they were like a swarm of headless flies, looking for the whereabouts of the demons everywhere.
Not to mention, in the north of the city of Cortria, there is really news coming. Emperor Ling Tian led more than thirty saint-level powerhouses in the palace to set off immediately, and in the evening, he actually brought back several corpses of demon clansmen.
In this state, a whirlwind of searching for demons has also arisen across the entire continent, and the major empires have issued red lists and offered heavy bounties to capture the demons. The demons were for a while. It has become a street rat across the continent, with nowhere to hide. From time to time, there is news that the demons have been discovered and killed.
The famous October Demon Craze in history. Under Murong Yu's ingenious planning and arrangement, a wonderful craze for chasing and suppressing the demon clan was staged.
Murong Yu didn't expect that his unintentional work would bring a lot of loss to the Demon Clan, and the Demon Clan's previous arrangement would be almost ruined. Of course, what I didn't expect was that it greatly delayed the demon clan's plan to attack the Tianxin Continent.
Murong Yu hid in the room alone, quietly calculating his gains in this looting operation. How many sets of saint-level armor did the dwarf king pay, how many strange things did the goblin master give him, and how many magic arrows did the elves send.
There was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Murong Yu asked loudly as he rolled over from the bed.
"Your Highness, Lord Shangguan is invited!" Xiahou's flying voice came.
"Zhilu said, I'll come right away. Murong Yu replied loudly.
At this time, it was almost evening, and Lord Shangguan's room was lit up with magic lamps, and the Holy Emperor Sword Remnant and Shangguan Wenbo were sitting side by side, opposite Lord Greg, the right minister of the Heavenly Dragon Empire. Seeing Murong Yu appear, Shangguan Wenbo gave Murong Yu a look and said, "Your Highness, it's good that you're here." Mistress Greg is looking for you?"
"Oh, Lord Greg, what's the wind blowing today, why are you here?" said Murong Yu Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled.
Mistress Greg had a flattering smile. Immediately got up and saluted Murong Yu, and said with a smile: "Your Highness." The old minister wanted to come to see His Highness, just to see His Highness. ”
Murong Yu leaned back on the sofa. Le Hahe laughed and said, "Don't mention it, Lord Greg, this scene today is really disgusting, it caused me to come back and vomit for an afternoon, and now it's finally a little better." ”
"Alas, I guess I don't even have the appetite to eat in the past few days. Murong Yu shook his head helplessly, as if he was a little out of energy.
In fact, he was happy in his heart, that is, he got what he wanted, and he put the black cauldron on the head of the demon clan, anyway, he wouldn't be able to wear it for a while. After all these things have passed, who will pursue the matter?
After Lord Greg went back, he didn't eat, he really couldn't eat, he was just a little better, but he was called into the palace by Sikong Zhengyang.
Lord Greg greeted Murong Yu's words and said, "The demon clan is indeed hateful, and they actually eat it. ”
"Alas, forget it, don't mention it, I'm here today to discuss something with His Highness. Mistress Greg felt a tumbling stir in his stomach and almost vomited again, and immediately changed the subject.
Murong Yu looked at Lord Greg seriously and nodded: "Say it, Lord Greg, we are old friends, just say something." ”
Coughing twice, Lord Greg sorted out the wording and said, "Your Highness, that's the case, you can also see that our empire's strategic reserves were looted by the demons, and now our country's reserves have dropped to zero in an instant." ”
"So, what His Majesty the Emperor means is that we want to redeem the part that was sold to His Highness, you see. "Mistress Greg also seems to feel that he has gone too far, and that it does not seem reasonable that he wants to return what he has just sold to someone else.
Murong Yu suddenly understood, now that the Heavenly Dragon Empire was panicked, and without strategic reserves, how could this country still operate? Besides, this Demon Martial Arts Competition was still going on, and just repairing the Magic Defense Array would require a lot of magic crystals and crystal jade stones.
Murong Yu frowned, and said with a smile: "Lord Greg, it's not that I won't help you!It's just that since these things have already been sold to us, how can we sell them back to you? This seems to be a little inappropriate, right?"
"Your Highness, this is nothing, this deal, that's it, I sold it to you yesterday, and you sell it to me again today. Mistress Greg said, "Of course, in terms of price, now that you are the seller, how much do you think is the right price?" ”
"Oh, it seems that Lord Greg is really sincere!" Murong Yu quipped with a smile.
Shangguan Wenbo cried with a sad face and said: "Your Highness, this matter is personally entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor, if it is not done well, the old minister will be punished." ”
"Well, what Lord Shangguan said is very true, if His Majesty the Emperor blames him, he really can't afford to bear the guilt!" Murong Yu also frowned.
Lord Greg immediately added: "Your Highness, we really want to buy back this part of the goods, we can pay a good price, I think that when the time comes, not only will the two of you not be punished, but will also be rewarded by Your Majesty." ”
Shangguan Wenbo glanced at Murong Yu and continued: "Your Highness, please think twice!
Murong Yu's eyes were spinning, he patted his head fiercely, and said in distress: "Yes!
"Your Highness, with the gold bricks, is there anything you can't buy? You can buy it slowly through the major chambers of commerce, and when you buy it, can you still lower the price? Besides, the price we offer is guaranteed to satisfy Your Highness. Mistress Greg continued.
"Satisfied!Want me to be satisfied?!" Murong Yu said with a smile: "The price will be doubled directly, and I will be satisfied." ”
Lord Greg suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, and Murong Yu's half-joking, half-serious negotiation method made Lord Greg feel a toothache. He took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, look, is this good, let's add another three percent, and the three achievements are three tens of billions, so Your Highness should be satisfied!"
"Three tens of billions! It's good, it's good, I just can't buy my own head!" Murong Yu said with a sigh. He touched his neck and reluctantly made a motion to wipe his neck. Compared with 30 billion, his neck is indeed worth a lot.
Lord Greg gritted his teeth, and had to put on a smiling face, he really felt a little angry, and what he sold to others in the morning was now buying back, which is indeed unreasonable.
Thinking of Sikong Zhengyang's order, no matter what the price is, it must be bought back, otherwise the empire will face great trouble. Take this Demon Martial Arts Competition as an example, it will also consume a lot of things, if the Heavenly Dragon Empire can't even repair the magic defense array, what face does it have to compete with the five empires?
"Your Highness, fifty percent, plus fifty percent, how about it?" Lord Greg raised his right hand, spread his five thick and slightly swollen fingers, and shook them vigorously in front of Murong Yu.
Murong Yu seemed to be a little moved, his eyes flickered a few times, Lord Greg was secretly happy, and said, "Your Highness, fifty percent, how about I send you ten more carts of wine and cigars?"
"Oh, Mistress Greg is going to give me good wine and cigars, which is nice. Murong Yule replied, seemingly moved.
Shangguan Wenbo looked at it, frowned slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, the old minister's life is just in your thoughts!"
Lord Greg immediately turned to Shangguan Wenbo and said, "Don't worry, Lord Shangguan, with His Royal Highness to bear for you, there will be no trouble, Lord Shangguan is also fortunate to be here, oh, and Lord Holy Emperor, too, I will send ten more cars of fine wine and cigars to each of the two adults, how about it?"
Murong Yu glanced at Shangguan Wenbo, held back a smile, and said: "Okay, for the sake of Lord Greg's sincerity, I have decided to disobey the order of the imperial grandfather and accept the conditions of the adult, Lord Greg, we have always paid attention to fairness and justice, and I am also taking a big risk in this matter, you can't say that I took advantage of the fire to rob!"
Robbery while the fire is on! You're taking advantage of the fire!
Lord Greg felt like he had been stabbed in the ass with a red-hot iron rod, and his whole old face was flushed, but he still had to be accompanied by a smile.
Lord Greg resisted his urge to go berserk, lowered his head vigorously, and squeezed out a smile that was even uglier than crying: "Oh, that's really good! Your Highness is an honest man, very down-to-earth, and very authentic, and the old minister thanks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of His Majesty." ”
Oh my God! I sold what I had sold at a higher price than the market price, and I ended up spending an extra 50 billion yuan to buy it back, what kind of deal was this deal? Master Greg felt that he had set up a trap and got into it by himself.
What's even worse is that in order to satisfy Murong Yu, Shangguan Wenbo and the Holy Emperor Sword Remnant, Lord Greg also paid an extra thirty carts of fine wine and cigars. Thinking of this, Master Greg even had the urge to commit suicide. (To be continued......)
