Chapter 168 Here we come
The Shang Kingdom likes war the most? Chen Gusang looked at Sun Haocai and felt embarrassed, but he was thinking: I don’t know if it was a real slip of the tongue or a deliberate one?
But whether it is deliberate or a slip of the tongue, it is enough to show that Shangguo is by no means a soft persimmon.
When he entered the hall, Sun Hao smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, this place is too shabby, I'm laughing."
Chen Gusang looked around, but was a little stunned: It was indeed shabby, the floor was pried away, only a layer of cloth was hung on the windows, and the tables and chairs were temporarily condensed by spells.
This is too shabby! Chen Gusang asked with a stuttering stutter, "What's wrong? Even if you save money, you don't need to save money like this?"
Sun Hao shrugged his shoulders and said innocently: "It was like this when we arrived."
What! Chen Gusang's heart skipped a beat. Dongpinghou, this bastard, did this! It's over. Now Chen Gusang is 100% sure. Sun Hao just said, "The Shang Dynasty likes war the most." It was definitely not a slip of the tongue, but a deliberate statement.
After his thoughts were heard, Chen Gusang quickly said: "This is what Dongping Hou said personally, I immediately asked someone to repair the place."
"No need." Sun Haocai shook his head, "We want to establish a city in Shangguo, and all of them must be demolished and rebuilt. Moreover, the agreement we signed also said that it is to purchase the land here, and the other things are not within the scope of the purchase. There is no problem with Dongpinghou doing it.
Don't worry, Shangguo does things according to the rules and will not find fault."
When Chen Gusang heard this, his heart became even more bitter. Sun Hao said clearly that we "do things according to the rules". As a prime minister, Chen Gusang certainly understood what "do things according to the rules" does.
Many times, the so-called "according to the rules" is a cold way to deal with it!
‘Dongpinghou, you bastard!’ Deep down, Chen Gusang was already scolding. It would be fine if you took away money and wealth. These floors, doors and windows, are not enough to bring transportation costs!
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
Sun Haocai sent an invitation again: "Prime Minister Chen, please sit down. Let's discuss the matter about the evil beast tide first, so that I can also explain it to the wise king, so that our country's military staff can make judgments."
Chen Gusang heard this and said, "Look at this matter, can I meet the wise king directly?"
Sun Haocai smiled faintly and indifferently and said, "I can't make the decision. Let's discuss the overview first, and I'll report to the wise king."
"Okay." Chen Gusang opened a simple map to explain it, explaining the relevant situation almost exactly.
Sun Hao finished listening quietly, thought for a while and asked, "Do you think the royal family among the evil beasts appeared this time? According to the information we are looking up now, the flesh and blood of the evil beasts of the royal family have many wonderful characteristics. If you participate in the war, the Shang Kingdom needs the flesh and blood of the evil beasts of the royal family as reward."
"This...is OK! But the specific amount of the difference depends on the final result of the war." Chen Gusang agreed.
"No, no!" Sun Hao waved his finger, "The rule of Shang Dynasty is that you offer the price first, and we will accept it only if it is appropriate.
In Shangguo, we have a special institution, the "Adventure and Mercenary Association", which is the place where tasks are issued. Here, the client will clearly introduce the details of the task, give the price, and wait for mercenaries or adventurers to collect the tasks."
When Chen Gusang heard this, his heart became even bitter. It was indeed 'according to the rules'. At this moment, Chen Gusang wanted to tear Dongping Hou apart, but the matter still had to be resolved. After thinking about it, Chen Gusang said again: "Lord Sun, in fact, in the face of the evil beast tide, we should unite and cooperate, otherwise even if the Shang Kingdom is strong, he will suffer heavy losses under the beast tide."
"It's okay, at worst we can withdraw first, and we will come back when the beast tide retreats."
Puff... Chen Gusang sprayed out a mouthful of tea.
Sun Haocai casually arranged a small true shield to block the tea, and calmly took the "Guangpingjie Trade Treaty" next to him and looked at it: "Look, there is no clause such as common advancement and retreat on it, so the merchant country can freely decide on its actions based on its own interests.
By the way, does Prime Minister Chen need to take the risk and issue a mission with the Mercenary Association? The association's office is already available, so I'll ask the Prime Minister to take it there."
Chen Gusang's face was already a little ashen, but he still suppressed his anger and was serious, but he also said in a serious tone: "Lord Sun, I came with sincerity. Please ask Lord Sun to say bluntly, what should we do in Guangping Realm?"
Sun Haocai looked at Chen Gusang calmly, and said in a faint tone: "Since Prime Minister Chen said this, I will tell you frankly.
There is a saying in Shang State: There is no eternal enemy between countries, only eternal interests. If you want Shang State to help, I agree. I didn’t say I would not help, nor did I say I would not save you when I die.
But if Shangguo wants to send troops, he can't let Shangguo bear all kinds of expenses, pensions, etc.
If this is the local world where Shang Kingdom is located, our Shang Kingdom will absolutely send troops without saying a word. But this is not the local country of Shang Kingdom, and this is optional for Shang Kingdom.
Even from the perspective of national interests, we can wait for the evil beasts to rage and pick up a world out of thin air without any effort. Do you think so?"
After hearing Sun Haocai's last words, Chen Gusang's heart suddenly became cold. If he was in the position of Shang Dynasty, would he consider this way? The answer is yes! The fisherman will benefit from the snipe and clam fighting, and he has the opportunity to be a fisherman. This is really tempting.
Just when Chen Gusang was vague, Sun Hao continued to say: "But Shangguo is not a profit-oriented person, we respect 'win-win' more. Therefore, I agree to support Guangpingjie.
But you always have to pay enough!”
This time, Chen Gusang was not in the mood to bargain, so he could only stand up and take a leave with a ugly face, saying that he would go back to discuss this matter.
…………
But at this time, time has passed by Lihuotian (sun) and the atmosphere is getting more and more tense.
There was already a faint purple light flashing in Ganyuan. It was obvious that the time it was opened was not far away. According to the calculations of the immortals, it was only three to five days.
But on the other hand, the faint purple-gold light that came from the sky was still the same. The immortals would occasionally come over to tease the purple-gold light, and the light would flash a few times in response, but this was already the only interaction.
Xihe stood in the attic, quietly watching the purple-gold light in front of him. The wind blew, lifting Xihe's graceful dress, as if dancing with the wind. Her red lips opened lightly and murmured to herself: "What is your origin? How long will it take to arrive?"
The murmur was not stopped, but suddenly I saw the purple and golden light in front of me suddenly swaying, and a moment later, four words appeared on the ground: We are here!
I don’t know how many souls are paying attention to here, but the whole Xihe Palace is in full bloom.
(Small foreshadowing explanation and interesting investigation, see ‘Author’)
Regarding Lihuotian (Sun), there is a small detail in Tianya. I don’t know who noticed it. When writing about Lihuotian characters, Tianya did not say the word ‘man’, but they all say ‘immortals’, “masters”, etc. If you don’t pay attention, you should be more conscious and vote quickly. If you notice it, you can speak to leave a memorial O(∩_∩)O Haha~
