The confused Persian prince followed Li Chengqian into Chang'an City. While satisfying his wish to go to Dongcheng City, he also sat in the Welcoming Building, the best restaurant in Dongcheng City.

And the reason why Li Chengqian would eat outside in Yingbin Building every time he had dinner.

First, because of the grade, the Yingbin Building, which belongs to the harem, is higher than the restaurant outside.

Second, because of the taste, if you are used to eating the things made by the chef in the palace, and then go to eat them outside to make them, you will always feel that the taste is wrong.

As for the third reason, it is because he can hold the bill here casually, that is, he can eat without paying for it. This will be considered awesome for those who are not familiar with the tricks.

It is precisely based on these three points that Li Chengqian is very fond of coming to Yingbin Tower to eat.

...

"Is it my first time to visit Prince Beilus? Is it still used to it during this period?" A group of people sat in Li Chengqian's exclusive private room. As various dishes were served up like water, Comrade Li opened up.

"Dear Prince, Beilus, thank you very much for your concern. There is nothing unfamiliar with General Yuchi's care and the officials of the Honglu Temple throughout the journey." Beilus said modestly.

From the beginning of the meeting and until the arrival of the Welcome Building, the Persian prince recovered from his shock and his behavior became much more normal.

Li Chengqian smiled with a smile on his lips, and did not be too polite to Beilus. He just waited for him to finish speaking and asked straightforwardly: "Prince Beilus, I heard that you are here to seek some help this time. I wonder what kind of help is it?"

Asked knowingly! Bei Lusi felt tired of his heart, so he didn't believe that Yuchi Baolin hadn't mentioned these things to Li Chengqian.

But even though he thought so in his heart, his face did not show it, but he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Your Highness, there is an old saying in your country that is 'Don't tell lies in front of real people'. In fact, Xiao Wang's purpose this time was to borrow troops from your country. My country is being invaded by the cannibals, and my people are struggling under the butcher knife of the cannibals. The Tang Dynasty is the most powerful country on this continent. I hope to get the support of the Tang Dynasty."

Beilus almost gritted his teeth and finished the sentence, then closed his mouth and waited to accept Li Chengqian's verbal humiliation.

He has experienced this process many times. Many countries that have had contact with Persia were afraid of them after Persia destroyed their country. Even if some people could not avoid it, they would verbally ridicule him, the down-and-out prince.

But unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Li Chengqian did not show any embarrassing expressions, but just nodded slowly and said in a heavy tone: "I have heard that the Great Food Country is expanding wildly. I didn't expect that it has reached such a point. It's really regrettable. I deeply sympathize with your country's experience!"

There is a door! There is a door! Beilus's eyes lit up instantly.

This is the first time he has not heard ridicule, the first time he has heard someone think that the cannibalism is wrong, and the first time he has heard someone sympathize with him. Although what he needs now is not all, this is also a good start, isn't it?

Thinking of this, Beluth cheered up: "Your Highness, I..."

"I know everything you want, I can tell you clearly, yes, as long as you have money, you can say anything." Li Chengqian interrupted him without waiting for Bei Lusi to finish his words, and at the same time waved to the guards standing outside.

Beilus opened his mouth and looked at Arrow silently, with millions of grass and mud horses raging in his heart.

Sure enough, he was told by Yuchi Baolin that the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty was indeed a jealous person.

However, the weapons on the ground are really envious.

The horizontal sword shining with cold light shines brightly, and the triangular thorns with black light make people feel palpitations, triangular armor-breaking arrows, standard steel crossbows, combined bed crossbows, individual plate armor... These weapons were placed there to make Beilus drool and wish they could pounce on them and hold them all in their arms.

"How is it? Is Prince Beilus satisfied? If not, we have something better, but the price is much more expensive." Li Chengqian looked at Beilus with a smile, as if he was looking at a sucker.

"No, no, no, this is enough, this is enough." Hearing the word "money", Beilus calmed down a lot and waved his hands to express his satisfaction.

"Since Your Highness the Prince is satisfied..." Li Chengqian dragged his voice and looked back at Yang Yuxin who was following him: "Xiaoyu, introduce the price to Your Highness the Prince."

"Yes!" Yang Yuxin, wearing a 42-style military uniform, looked particularly energetic. She opened her briefcase and pulled out a document from it. She also walked to the middle of a push of equipment piled on the ground.

"Prince Beilus, please see this single-soldier plate armor. This is an active-service equipment of the Tang army. It weighs 20 kilograms and can defend against close-range shooting of two stone bows. It can also provide effective defense for close-range impact of cavalry. The price is 150 taels of silver per pair."

"This combined bed crossbow is also a Tang Dynasty equipment. Experienced soldiers can assemble two people in forty breaths, and complete aiming and stimulating at the same time. Their attack power can reach the level of a strong bow of ten stones. The price is 200 taels of silver per frame."

"Standard steel crossbow, single-player operation, three-stone and five-strength pulling force, two hundred and fifty steps in the attack range, you can use ordinary crossbow arrows and triangular armor-breaking arrows. The price is 50 taels per frame."

...

Things are good things, which makes people envious, but with Yang Yuxin's introduction, the high price made Beilus feel dry and even the power of swallowing and saliva slowly dissipated.

His men had 50,000 troops. If they were all equipped, they would need 17.5 million taels of silver per person. This would not count the prices of some heavy equipment and consumables. If they were to use some crossbows and the triangular armor-breaking arrows to consume, it would be estimated that there would be no 20 million taels of silver to be taken down.

What is the concept of 20 million taels of silver? According to the weight of modern times, it is about 1,000 tons, with a volume of more than 100 cubic meters. It is loaded with eight Steyr heavy trucks with a weight of 120 tons in the front, four, and eight loads. If it is not overloaded, it cannot be transported away.

But even so, Li Chengqian still did not intend to let Beilus go. When Yang Yuxin returned behind him, he spoke again: "Prince Beilus, equipment is dead, people are alive. It is not possible to fight a war. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty can also provide you with mercenary services, with a pension of 200 taels of silver per person, and the combat time is limited to one year, which will increase by 100 taels per year. Of course, this does not include the price of equipment."

It's really dying. Beilus no longer knows what language to use to describe Li Chengqian. It seems that the greed for money in Yuchi Baolin is not enough to describe his terribleness. This guy is simply a pervert, no, he is super pervert.

Beilus didn't know what kind of soldiers' pension could reach 200 taels, and it would have to increase by 100 taels per year, and it would not count the price of equipment. If the equipment is included, at least one hundred taels will be added.

This is no longer a sky-high price. After all, even if the most powerful soldier in Persia has enough pensions to reach two gold coins, it is already a high price. If it is exchanged for silver, it is only twenty taels.

But in the Tang Dynasty, it actually costs 200 taels. It’s a total of 200 taels. You can buy ten warriors, and they are warriors with their own equipment.

"Dear Prince of the Tang Dynasty, are you saying this price high? Two, two hundred taels of silver are enough to buy nearly one hundred slaves. If we had so much money, we could buy enough slaves to serve as warriors." Shocked by Li Chengqian's sky-high asking price, Aluo finally couldn't help it.

And in his opinion, Li Chengqian didn't want to help them at all, and not only did he not want to help them, but he was also humiliating them.

Sure enough, Aluo's speech attracted Li Chengqian's attention, and he turned to him with a smile and asked, "You are General Aluo's? Do you think this palace is playing with you?"

"Isn't it?" A Luohan looked at Li Chengqian fearlessly.

As the saying goes, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes. Anyway, Persia has already destroyed its country and there is no hope of restoring the country. It is worthwhile to use this cheap life to touch the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

"Oh," Li Chengqian sighed and looked at Beilus: "Your Highness, do you think so too?"

"Your Highness, we don't have that much money now. We can't afford your equipment or hire your soldiers." Beilus is more sleeker than Aro, but the meaning of the words is still to mock Li Chengqian for knowing that he has no money but he still has to show off his things.

"Yeah!" Li Chengqian nodded, as if he didn't understand, but the smile on his face gradually calmed down. After a while, he slowly spoke: "I am indeed asking for a price everywhere, and I don't plan to give you a chance to bargain. If you want equipment, then follow the price just now. If you want people, you must also follow the price just now."

"Your people are human beings, and my people are also human beings. If you don't take money or benefits, why should I let my soldiers work for you? And how do I know if you will beat me up after giving you something? Are there still fewer things in this world about ungrateful wolves?"

"We won't..." Beilus, who was startled by Li Chengqian's sudden turn against him, wanted to explain, but was quickly interrupted: "Don't tell me no, I don't believe it! In short, just one sentence now, I have no obligation to help you in vain. If you want equipment, you can buy it. If you want soldiers, you also have to hire money, and the others are not allowed to be negotiated."

"And I tell you, it's better not to be shameless. Apart from the entire Tang Dynasty, you can try to find a second one!"

"Bang!" As Li Chengqian stopped his last sentence, the cup in his hand slammed heavily on the table.
Chapter completed!
