"Five...... 500,000 taels of silver?" Rao is the status of Dalun Monastery in Tibet, and the wealth is powerful, hearing this number, Dochapa and Ati Rinchen were also stunned. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
You must know that for some small countries in the Western Regions, there are not necessarily 500,000 taels of silver in the entire treasury, and after the alliance between Song and Liao Tanyuan, the annual coins sent by the Great Song Dynasty to the Liao State are only 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk. Even if Li Qiushui is a princess, the Western Xia can be called a powerful country, but it has been fighting against the Song and Liao dynasties for many years, and its military expenses have always been stretched, and Li Yuanhao will never spend such a huge expenditure for her personal vendetta.
Murong Li knew Li Qiushui's roots, and he knew that the Li family was actually a distant relative of the side branch of the Western Xia royal family, and in the middle of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, he fled to the Central Plains to settle down because of refuge. More than 30 years ago, when Li Yuanhao was still the prince of Western Xia, he was already ambitious and unwilling to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty.
He secretly sent someone to contact the Li family, wanting the Li family to join his camp, in exchange, he promised that if he became the king of Western Xia in the future, he would marry the daughter of the Li family as the princess of Western Xia, and the Li family could also return to his country as the prince of Western Xia. The patriarch of the Li family and Li Yuanhao hit it off, and at that time they wanted to marry Li Canghai to Li Yuanhao, but Li Canghai was stubborn, so he ran away from home and made a private agreement with Murong Li for life. As a result, this marriage dragged on for decades, until Li Qiushui and Wuyazi turned against each other and became disheartened, so they married into Western Xia.
Although the marriage between Li Yuanhao and the Li family dragged on for many years to finally come true, the cooperation between the two sides did not run aground because of this. On the contrary, Li Yuanhao has been providing the Li family with human and financial resources for decades, helping the Li family to grow in the Central Plains and inserting people in the officialdom and the military. By the time of the Song-Xia War, countless Great Song intelligence continued to flow into Western Xia from the Li family, making Western Xia take the lead everywhere on the battlefield.
After Li Qiushui became the princess of Western Xia, the Li family in the Central Plains was divided into two parts, one returned to the Western Xia country, and the other continued to stay in the Central Plains to spy on the news for the Western Xia. Li Qiushui was not willing to be a concubine of the deep palace, she relied on her martial arts scheming to set up a product hall for Li Yuanhao, and frequently offered wonderful plans in the affairs of the Song Dynasty, and soon became the concubine of Li Yuanhao's arms, and also made the family grow into one of the wealthy families in Western Xia.
Therefore, Murong Li knew that with Li Qiushui's status in the Western Xia Dynasty and her family's financial resources, she would definitely be able to get the 500,000 taels of silver, but it would inevitably hurt her vitality. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Senior Sister Li, if someone really kills Ding Yu and Tianshan Tong's grandmother, do you really plan to pay it for real money?"
"Why not?" Li Qiushui chuckled: "If someone really kills that slut and thief, don't say 500,000 taels, even if it is more, I am willing." ”
"Wait!" Ati Rinchen said with an unkind expression: "Master Li, we said at the beginning, my Dalun Temple will help you destroy the Vulture Palace and kill the Tianshan Tong, but in the Vulture Palace, the exercises related to life and death talismans belong to my Dalun Temple. But according to what you said, with the temperament of the Tianshan Tong Grandma, she will definitely destroy all the martial arts classics before leaving the Vulture Palace, if she dies in the hands of the people of the Western Regions again, then who else in the world knows about the life and death talisman exercises?
As soon as Duochaba heard his senior brother's words, he suddenly came to his senses, and looked at Li Qiushui angrily.
It turned out that the reason why the Great Wheel Temple participated in this siege was not as they said, in order to kill the demon of Tianshan Tong and restore the martial arts to tranquility, but to obtain the life and death charm, a powerful weapon to control others.
Since the destruction of the Buddha by Langda more than 100 years ago (see Chapter 14 of the first volume of this book for details), Tibet has been divided into large and small territories, which have been controlled by major lords and monasteries, and each has its own government. After a long time, naturally no one wants to put a "lord of the country" on his head. Once someone reveals his intention to unify Tibet, he will be hostile to all lords and lords.
Dalun Temple is the largest temple in Tibet, not only the territory under its jurisdiction is the largest in Tibet, but also the number of believers is the first in Tibet. Therefore, the Great Wheel Temple has long had the ambition to unify Tibet, and they even found the descendants of the Tubo lord of the year, once the strength is enough, it will be pushed out of the front as the lord of the country, and the Great Wheel Temple is hidden in the rear to be the "Emperor Taishang".
It's a pity that although the power of the Great Wheel Temple is strong, it is not strong enough to be able to overwhelm the entire territory of Tibet, and in recent years, many lords and lords have realized the ambition of the Great Wheel Temple and have formed an alliance to confront it, which makes the situation of the Great Wheel Temple even more difficult.
It is precisely because of this that the Great Wheel Temple will be extra interested in the life and death charm, if they master the life and death charm, they can use it to control all opponents, and then it will be easy to unify Tibet. But once they heard that Li Qiushui's arrangement might make them miss out on life and death, they were calm and calm, and they couldn't help but turn their faces with Li Qiushui.
Li Qiushui unhurriedly cut his hair, and said neatly: "Don't worry, the two masters, listen to me." Although I set this day reward, I never thought that anyone would really receive the 500,000 taels of silver.
In my opinion, in the entire Western Regions, there are fewer people who can take his ten moves, and there is no one who can beat him by one and a half moves; moreover, the internal force has reached this level, and there are very few poisons in the world that can poison him--if he can't be beaten, can't be poisoned, what will those people from the Western Regions use to kill him?"
Dochapa was stunned for a moment, and felt that what Li Qiushui said seemed to have some truth, but he couldn't figure it out: "Since that's the case, what's the point of you offering this sky-high reward?"
Li Qiushui shook his head and smiled: "I gave a reward, not to let him die at the hands of others, but to let him tense his nerves at all times, be careful of the hidden weapons shot in the corners around him, and beware of whether the ground he steps on next will be a trap;
And what we have to do is to activate the eyeliner, always keep an eye on the whereabouts of the two of them, and wait until the moment they walk out of the Western Regions, it will be the time for us to make a move - on the one hand, the triple consumption of spirit, physical strength, and internal strength, on the other hand, is to recuperate and recuperate to work, what is the outcome, I'm afraid I don't need to say it again, right?"
Dochaba opened his mouth and stammered, and three words came out for a long time: "Good...... Despicable!"
Li Qiushui didn't think it was angry, but smiled proudly.
But Ati Rinchen was not as gullible as Dochapa, he thought for a moment and said, "Master Li, Master Nading Yu may indeed be able to get out of the Western Regions alive as you said. But you also said that Tianshan Tong's grandmother is now almost completely lost, no matter how good Ding Yu is, in the face of the ubiquitous sneak attack plot, it is already rare to be able to protect himself, and how can he ensure that Tianshan Tong's grandmother will not die under the plot? If Tianshan Tong's grandmother dies, Lao Wei will still not be able to get the life and death charm!" (To be continued.) )
