Chapter Seven: Attracting Heavy Profits (Part II)
The three of them sat down on three chairs at the end of the right head. Wanyan Zong said: "Your Blood Sword Castle is full of talents, and ten of you have entered the top thirty-two, and there is no one in the world who is incomparable. You didn't have much fame before, and you have been buried for a long time, and you have no skills, which is a pity. This king has always done things first and then take, in order to show sincerity, come, bring things up. As soon as the words fell, four golden soldiers carried a heavy sandalwood box and opened it in the hall. The box was glittering with gold and filled with gold, and everyone present had never seen so much gold in their lives. Wanyan Zong said: "This is 20,000 taels of gold, which is a gift for the lord of Lingbao, and there are also 300,000 taels of silver tickets, which will be distributed to your subordinates." Then out from behind the screen out of more than a dozen outstanding demeanor, delicate young girls, they walked over, standing in a row in the hall, Wanyan Zong said: "These virgins are eighteen years old, they are all the daughters of Zhao Song Gaomen, either the daughters of Jiangmen, or the official eunuch family, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so let your brother be a mother-in-law." Lu Fei and Luo Tianchu glanced at each other, they didn't expect Wanyan Zongwang to make such a decision in order to win over them, no wonder these head sect masters are all under their command, and there are really not many people who can withstand such temptation.
Wanyan Zongwang continued: "The literati study, and the martial arts practice martial arts in order to beg for a background, fight for fame, and then return to their hometown in brocade clothes to glorify their ancestors. The gold and silver beauties are just passing by, only a real career can meet the ambitions of the man, from now on, the lord of the castle is the head of the royal guard of the fourth grade of my Dajin Guozheng, and then give you fifteen deputy commanders of the Praetorian Guard from the sixth grade, you can arrange it yourself. As soon as he finished speaking, the heads present showed jealousy, and it seemed that their treatment was far inferior. Ling Junlai said quietly: "The second prince is so gracious, I don't know how to repay us." Gao Qingyi said: "Can't the castle lord see the good intentions of the second prince to recruit talents? The head of the house accepted the reward half a year ago and became the second prince's honored guest. Ling Junlai smiled faintly and said: "People in the countryside are used to being lazy, and it is useless to ask for those gold and silver beauties, and I don't know how to be an official, I am afraid that I will live up to the good intentions of the second prince." Gao Qingyi didn't expect Ling Junlai to refuse, and said in surprise: "You don't want to?" The heads of the family secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if Ling Junlai and them also took refuge in him, how could the second prince pay attention to us again.
Wanyan Zongwang was not annoyed, but looked at Ling Junlai with interest, and laughed: "The messenger who sent a heroic post to Tubo came back and said that Chu Laike is eloquent and strategic, a generation of grandmasters, and regards the heroes of the world as grass mustard, only convinced that Ling Junlai is alone, this king was originally suspicious, but now he sees it with his own eyes as a real hero." It is easy to make friends with high-ranking people, so let's double, double all the gold and silver beauties, give the lord of the castle hereditary marquis, treat each other as a state guest, and the fifteen places of officials will be promoted to one level, and it is needless to say that the house will be rewarded. It's just that the matter of the marquis has to be played by the saint, and presumably the saint will also agree, what do you think?" As soon as these words came out, there was a small commotion in the hall, except for the big man of the Jin Kingdom, all the heads were very jealous, and they stared at Ling Junlai, and their eyes seemed to be on fire.
Ling Junlai gave a salute and said: "The second prince will be wrong, there is no intention of waiting for the price to sell, what he just said is indeed the truth, please don't doubt it." Wanyan Zongwang frowned, stroked the beard on his lips, thought for a while, and waved his hand: "Escort them up." I saw eight golden soldiers tied up two people, and although they were neatly dressed, they were shackled on their hands and feet, and their faces were like ashes. Luo Tianchu trembled violently, recognized them as the big enemies Wang Renxiao and Qiu Lihai, and was furious at the moment, jumped up from the chair, and was about to make a move. Ling Junlai pressed his shoulder, and said in a line: "Don't act rashly. Luo Tianchu glared at the two of them angrily, eager to kill them with his eyes. Wang Qiu and the others peeked at each other and recognized Ling Junlai, but they didn't recognize Luo Tianchu, but such a hateful gaze must be unfavorable to him, so he quickly lowered his head.
Ling Junlai said to Wanyan Zong: "These two people have a common enmity with my Blood Sword Castle, I don't know what this means. Wanyan Zongwang took a sip of tea and said, "As long as the lord of the castle agrees to serve my Dajin Kingdom, these two will be handed over to you." Gao Qingyi said loudly: "They are also the distinguished guests of my Dajin Kingdom, and the second prince is willing to risk killing the virtuous for you, how important this is, don't know what to do." Wang Renxiao and Qiu Lihai knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, not knowing what their fate was. Lu Fei thought that money, seduction, officials, and favors were all used, and Wanyan Zongwang could be described as painstaking, and with so many talents working for him, it was no wonder that the Jin Kingdom was getting stronger and stronger. Ling Junlai said: "My Blood Knife Fort has always had revenge, and I don't want to fake my hands to others, the prevailing good intentions of the second prince have been received in my heart, but it is difficult to obey my fate." Wanyan Zongwang's face changed color, he glared at Ling Junlai angrily, slapped the table heavily, and brushed his sleeves away. Gao Qingyi was also furious: "I don't know how to lift!" and also left with Wanyan Zongwang. Jin Bing took Wang Qiu and the two of them away, and they breathed a long sigh of relief, for fear that Ling Jun would change his mind, so they didn't need Jin Bing's urging, and trotted out of the lobby. Luo Tianchu looked at their departing backs, clenched his fists, glared angrily, and stomped on the ground fiercely. All the heads also left one after another, looking at Ling Junlai's eyes with a slight sneer, laughing at him for not knowing the current affairs. Only the big man of the Jin Kingdom didn't move, he looked at Ling Junlai expressionlessly, as if he appreciated it, and slowly got up and walked out. The hall was empty for a moment, and Ling Junlai whispered to Luo Tianchu: "Don't worry, since you know that the two thieves have taken refuge in the Jin Kingdom, you can take their heads sooner or later." Luo Tianchu had no choice but to nod yes.
