Chapter 78: Blackmailing the King of Wei

"Hahaha, the Seventh Emperor's nephew, after five years of not seeing each other, the nephew became more and more handsome."

King Wei got off the sedan chair and gave Xiao Ming a hug, and patted Xiao Ming's back with his right hand.

"Cough cough." Xiao Ming was almost vomiting blood by the King of Wei. The fat man weighing 300 pounds was really capable of gravity acceleration. He escaped from the King of Wei's body and smiled and said, "The Third Emperor has become much more plump in five years."

"Hey, there are a wide range of delicious food and wine in Jinling City. I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to eat it. But if my nephew arrives in Jinling City, he will definitely not be able to stop talking." King Wei patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder.

The two seemed to go to the main hall intimately. Outside the hall, the King of Wei ordered his personal guards to stay, and he and Xiao Ming entered the main hall alone.

At this moment, the King of Wei's expression suddenly became gloomy. The two of them sat down and a smell of gunpowder suddenly filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"My nephew, Zhou Ziyu is my man. The emperor's instruction to smuggle him, so you should let him go."

The two of them were just for outsiders to see, but the exchange of interests was often very direct, and the King of Wei had no feelings to communicate with Xiao Ming, so they were straightforward.

"What! Why didn't the Third Emperor say earlier? Zhou Ziyu has been killed by me this time." Xiao Ming pretended to be surprised.

"Kill?" King Wei's bloated body almost jumped up from the chair, but when he turned his mind, his eyes turned and slowly sat down: "If you kill, kill. After all, those who don't know are not guilty. But did the nephew find a letter from Zhou Ziyu?"

Xiao Ming thought that the real problem finally came, and he said casually: "This is a secret letter..."

The King of Wei wandered for a moment and continued to ask: "So, does the nephew also know the content of this secret letter?"

"That's right." Xiao Ming suddenly stood up and paced around the house, smiling, "What are the Third Emperor's plan to exchange for this secret letter?"

The matters involved in the secret letter were very important to the King of Wei and were not a big deal, otherwise he would not have come in person, and he also brought five thousand soldiers with him, which was clearly arguing that Xiao Ming was coerced.

Although Xiao Ming was very unhappy, he also knew that if he exposed this matter, the King of Wei would be angry and embarrassed. At that time, a border conflict would not be beneficial to him.

Moreover, the content of the secret letter does not involve the safety of the Great Yu Kingdom, but about the King of Wei and King of Yan.

"Exchange?" King Wei suddenly looked relaxed when he heard this, "The nephew is indeed a smart person. This matter was originally a private matter between me and King Yan, not to mention that you and I are both royal families, and we should have worked together."

"After that being said, it was wrong for the Third Emperor to bribe Huyantuo's troops to intercept and kill the caravans on the grasslands of King Yan. The documents in the caravans of King Yan had a seal from the father. Besides, when did the Third Emperor's relations with Huyantuo's troops become so friendly. Three years ago, the barbarian cavalry only rage in my fiefdom and did not go south at all. This matter must be carefully investigated, and it seems that it is enough for all the civil and military officials to submit memorials."

The expression of King Wei changed drastically, and Xiao Ming's smirk made him hate him. He didn't expect that Xiao Ming was so smart and could see the real key point, which was the relationship between Xinzhong and Huyantuo tribe.

In order to buy horses on the grassland, he naturally had to deal with the Huyantuo tribe, and bribes were indispensable, because the gold, silver and treasures he gave were very huge, and the Huyantuo tribe had close contact with him. In the letter, he even called the banner owner of the Huyantuo tribe as brothers, and this kind of politeness completely exceeded the boundary set by Xiao Wenxuan for him.

If this incident reached the court, officials of the King of Yan would inevitably attack him, and Xiao Wenxuan would be furious and punish him.

Although he was confident of his wealth, his army was strong and his horse was not afraid of any vassal kings, or even his 500,000 imperial guards, the Great Yu Kingdom was in decline and Xiao Wenxuan's prestige was still there.

If the world rises up and attacks it, he will not have this confidence.

"Nephew, let's talk about what to exchange for? How much silver and how many beauties do you need?" A cold sweat broke out on King Wei's forehead.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming knew that he was right. He really caught the key point of King Wei. "I am not interested in these two things. I want 100,000 slaves and 2 million stones of food."

"Hundreds of thousands of slaves?" King Wei looked surprised. In his memory, Xiao Ming was interested in only silver and beauty, and this request surprised him.

However, after thinking about it, he understood Xiao Ming's idea. Now Xiao Ming sells novel things such as soap and perfume, and what he needs most is slaves.

As long as he has slaves, he can build more workshops and earn more money. With money, there will naturally be no less beauty.

"How is it? Uncle Sanhuang, I don't want to participate in the conflict between you and the King of Yan. You and the Huyantuo tribe are just closer, but these are enough for someone to accuse the Uncle of the Emperor of the court of colluding with the enemy, and what happened three years ago was also enough to attract imagination."

There seemed to be a lot of 100,000 slaves, but he believed that this problem was very simple for the King of Wei.

Because of the wealth of Wei, almost all wealthy families raise private slaves, and the relationship between the King of Wei and the Huyantuo tribe can also buy a large number of slaves from the Huyantuo tribe, and the number of 100,000 is really not large.

"It's that simple?" King Wei hesitated.

"It's that simple." Xiao Ming smiled. He maintained this matter at the most suitable trading level, and was easy to achieve the goal, and would not make King Wei angry.

"Hahaha... OK, I haven't come in vain this trip. If my nephew has any requests in the future, we will ask me if we say that we are also neighbors." King Wei laughed happily and then reached out to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming took out the secret letter at this time, but he suddenly tore the letter in half. He said, "Uncle Sanhuang, it's not that I don't believe you, but the current situation is really imminent. The first half of this letter describes the affairs of the King of Yan, and the second half of the barbarians, you and I will keep half of each. When the hundred thousand slaves arrive, I will naturally return it to you in the second half."

The King of Wei looked unhappy, "Nephew, don't bully others too much, you don't believe me."

"I believed in the Third Emperor's Uncle three years ago."

The King of Wei suddenly showed a look of embarrassment. Three years ago, he agreed to Xiao Ming to send troops, but the army was slow to move and was just waiting and watching at the border.

"Hmph, Xiao Ming, what do you mean? What if I don't agree? "The King of Wei is also a shrewd man. He suddenly threatened and tried to intimidate Xiao Ming.

"Although our Qingzhou army is weak, we dare to fight! But how we ended at that time depends on the ability of the Third Emperor. Anyway, the land of the whole country is barren, and it will be a mess no matter how hard it is to fight." Xiao Ming said in a tough tone.
