NOVEL NEXT Chapter 70
Chapter 70 The lion opens his mouth
Liu Ji heard that the leader of the stray bandit besieging Cangyuan City was Dynastic Dragon Zhang Ding, and he calculated that this Dynastic Dragon Zhang Ding is not easy to provoke. If the benefits of Zhao County Order are not enough, I’d better not disturb Cang. The matter of Yuancheng.
So Liu Ji smiled bitterly and said to Zhao Hanzhi: “Master Zhao, you don’t know how long my team went to Qianzhou to defend the border. Actually, it didn’t take long for me to deal with some small thieves, but it’s not a big problem to deal with Qingtianlong Zhang Ding. This kind of fierce bandit, the strength of the frontier team under my command is simply not enough, this… Master Zhao, think of other ways?”
Zhao Hanzhi heard Liu Ji’s evasive remarks and said with a smile on his face: “School Wei Liu is humble. At first glance, the thousands of soldiers and horses under Liu Xiaowei are elites who have been trained for a long time. What’s more, there is still Xiao Wei around Liu. With so many fierce generals, I believe that as long as Liu Xiaowei is willing to send troops to Cangyuan City, he will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Ding and the gang of bandits.”
After a pause, Zhao Hanzhi continued: “As long as Liu Xiaowei can solve the siege of Cangyuan City, our Zhao family is willing to give 50,000 taels of silver to Liu Xiaowei. What do you think of Liu Xiaowei?”
Lan Xin next to Liu Ji heard Zhao Hanzhi say 50,000 taels of silver, a look of disdain flashed in her eyes, but she soon disappeared.
When Liu Ji heard Zhao Hanzhi’s offer of 50,000 taels of silver, he couldn’t help but curl his lips. If there were no gains from the four cottages such as Yan Wangling, 50,000 taels of silver would be a huge sum of money for Liu Ji, but from the four cottages such as Yan Wangling. After collecting millions of taels of silver, Liu Ji really looked down on 50,000 taels of silver.
Liu Ji shook his head and said: “Master Zhao, it’s not that I don’t give you and the face of the Zhao family of Geshan. It’s really that this frontier team under my command is not strong in combat effectiveness. It is not an opponent of fierce bandits like Dynastic Dragon Zhang Ding at all. You need to know Zhang Dingshou. There are tens of thousands of rogues inside.”
When Zhao Hanzhi heard Liu Ji’s rejection without hesitation, the smile on his face couldn’t help putting away, and he turned his head and glanced at the scribe behind him.
The scribe immediately gave Zhao Hanzhi a look, and then nodded slightly. Zhao Hanzhi understood that his confidant was asking him to increase the price. “Lieutenant Liu, Qingtianlong Zhang Ding is indeed not easy to deal with, but we are in Quyang County. 2,000 soldiers and horses will also be dispatched. By then, we will be able to save the crisis in Cangyuan City. If this happens, our Zhao family will have an extra 20,000 taels of silver. As long as we solve the siege of Cangyuan City, Our Zhao family is willing to give Liu Xiaowei 70,000 taels of silver.”
Zhao Hanzhi increased the benefits to 70,000 taels, but Liu Ji was still indifferent. So Zhao Hanzhi had to keep adding weights. In the end, Zhao Hanzhi had increased the price of troops to 150,000 taels, but Liu Ji still shook his head like a rattle. , If he was killed, he was unwilling to send troops to rescue Cangyuan City.
At this time, the scribe standing behind Zhao Hanzhi asked Liu Ji: “Lieutenant Liu, if you don’t talk secretly, what is the price in your heart? Why don’t you just say it and see if our Zhao family can get it out.” ”
Zhao Hanzhi’s face at this time has lost the slightest smile. Hearing his staff’s words, he nodded to Liu Ji and said: “School Wei Liu, then be more straightforward. Put your request. As long as our Zhao family can do it, it must be done. Will not refuse.”
Liu Ji rubbed his hands and said, “Master Zhao, if you want to rescue Cangyuan City, you must fight a **** battle with Great Sky Dragon Zhang Ding. If there is no certain benefit, I promised Master Zhao, and neither of my brothers. I will agree. Do you think this will work? I led the soldiers and the soldiers and horses of Quyang County to break the siege of Cangyuan City. Lord Zhao gave me 20,000 taels of gold, 500 horses, 500 iron armors, and 1,000 leather armors. , 1,000 Seven Doubows and 100,000 Arrows, half of these items must be paid before departure, and the remaining half can be given after the siege of Cangyuan City is resolved.”
After hearing Liu Ji’s request, Zhao Hanzhi’s anger suddenly surged. Not to mention anything else, only 20,000 taels of gold is equivalent to 400,000 taels of silver, which is far beyond the bottom line in Zhao Hanzhi’s heart. Zhao Hanzhi snorted and said, “School Liu Wei has such a big appetite!”
“Hey hey, that… Geshan Zhao family is rich in wealth, our team going to Qianzhou to defend the border clangs poorly, these things are nothing but a drop in the bucket for the Geshan Zhao family, but for our team going to Qianzhou to defend the border. It is very important. After all, the situation in Qianzhou border area is there.”
Zhao Hanzhi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the scribe behind him, “Lieutenant Liu, there are so many things you want. We need to discuss it. You are here later and let Miss Lanxin accompany you. Have a few more drinks.”
Then the scribe leaned over to Zhao Hanzhi’s ear and said, “The lord calms down his anger, now it is most important to rescue Cangyuan City.”
Zhao Hanzhi took a breath and grudgingly smiled at Liu Ji and said: “Lieutenant Liu wait a minute, this officer and Mr. Sun will discuss Lieutenant Liu wants too much.”
Afterwards, Zhao Hanzhi left with a scribe and two martial artists in the room. Ru Hui, who was with Zhao Hanzhi, also walked out of the room. Only Liu Ji, Su Lie, Chen Hao and Hua Xiong were left in the room. There is also the flower orchids from Mingyuelou.
Lanxin showed a charming smile and said to Liu Ji: “Xiaowei Liu, you are not so courageous, you dare to knock on the bamboo sticks of Geshan Zhao’s family!”
Liu Ji shrugged and said, “There is no way! Miss Lanxin should also know what is going on in the Qianzhou border area. I can only think of a way to increase my capital. Otherwise, after arriving at the Qianzhou border area, I will immediately be killed by the Huren cavalry in the grassland. , There are no bones left.”
Lan Xin went on to say: “Lieutenant Liu, Lan Xin has received reliable news that the number of gangsters and soldiers under Zhang Ding of the Great Sky Dragon has exceeded 30,000. This is not counted as the other old and weak. The fifteen thousand soldiers were rumored to be dead. The news was not even known to County Majesty Zhao. Seeing Xiaowei Liu so young, Lan Xin advised Xiaowei Liu to stop going to the muddy waters of Cangyuan City.”
Hearing Lan Xin say that there are 30,000 soldiers under Zhang Ding of the Sky Dragon, Liu Ji looked back at Su Lie, Su Lie hesitated, and leaned over to Liu Ji and whispered, “Lord, as long as the county magistrate Zhao agrees Our conditions, whether it is 15,000 or 30,000 gangsters, do not have much impact on us. As the number of gangsters and gangsters increases, we may be able to take the opportunity to capture more prisoners and expand. The number of our soldiers.”
Liu Ji then smiled and said to Lan Xin, “Thank you Miss Lan Xin. I wonder if I can tell Master Zhao about this news.”
Lanxin said softly, “Of course, I heard Master Zhao was going to send troops to rescue Cangyuan City, Lan Xin had planned to tell Master Zhao the news.”
