Being slapped in the face is secondary, but the main thing is that you asking for five million taels of silver are really not a joke?
However, Gongsun's ill appearance looked quite serious, with his eyes squinted and his face dark, a little angry, a little arrogant, a little contemptuous, and a little impatient.
"Without you, Mr. Gongsun, the butcher, would we have to eat pigs with hair on them?" Ouyang Yunyi inevitably got angry when he saw that Gongsun was seriously ill and asking for high prices with no bottom line and his attitude was so arrogant. "Brother Xiao, as long as you give me and Xiao Yewuji gives you ten thousand taels of silver each, and our third brother will help you attack the city!"
Yun Yi didn't care about the money, so he just wanted to talk about it.
"Oh, you are young, but your tone is not young!" Gongsun Shenyan sneered, "If you three can take down Baisha City, why are these 100,000 troops stationed here without any action? 100,000 people, How much money does it cost if people feed horses every day? But it’s not a business!”
That makes sense.
In fact, brothers Xiao Ye and Ouyang Yunyi did try. Although they entered the city, they quickly fell into a tight siege. If the brothers hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, they might not have been able to come back. …
Although the two of them are brave and invincible, they actually have their own expectations.
Although Xiao Ye is extremely powerful and invulnerable, and Yun Yi is also highly skilled in martial arts and has outstanding marksmanship, but if a pot of blood, feces, urine or other dirty things were poured on his head, he would be captured immediately.
It is said that he was repaired by Tantai Yufei in this way back in Zheyin Mountain, and the painful lesson has always been engraved in his heart.
Shangguan Wuji may not be afraid of this, but although his martial arts is very high, he is not suitable for charging into battle.
In addition, disciples of the Shangguan family may not participate in things like attacking cities and demolishing strongholds. Firstly, doing so may violate family rules. Secondly, the ancestral motto of their family is to save people, but not to kill.
"Mr. Gongsun, I don't know what your clever plan is to attack the city?" Xiao Chen asked, "Are you making some siege equipment?"
Gongsun Chenwen is a craftsman, known as the fourth most skilled craftsman in the world. He feels a bit like Master Lu Ban back then.
But even though Lord Lu Ban had great magical powers, he and Mozi had arm talks on paper and tried their best during offensive and defensive drills, but they still could not break through Mozi's city defense system...
The current city is not the city of that time. It is much stronger and taller. Duan Fengnian has been operating here for many years. The city defense measures are very complete, and he has 100,000 soldiers under his command, all of whom are brave and fierce generals. Even if the city's equipment is not available, it will be difficult to capture it.
Just say that the ice wall poured under the city wall is very difficult to deal with. Do we need to create an ice-breaking hammer first?
In addition, as long as it is a strong attack, there will definitely be a lot of casualties. The reason why Xiao Chen has been holding back his troops is because he is afraid of this. If he attacks the city at all costs, Baisha City can still be taken.
"Haha, as the saying goes, you pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. But now that the price has not been agreed upon, you still want my goods. What's the point?" Gongsun Shenwen sneered while stroking a goatee under his chin.
"Look at what you said, Mr. Gongsun." Xiao Chen said, "The reason why we haven't agreed on the price is because we don't know if you, the old man, have the goods yet? Besides, when doing business, don't you need to see the goods first? of?"
"That's true." Unexpectedly, Gongsun Shenyan turned out to be reasonable. He pondered for a moment and said, "Baisha City is extremely strong, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers inside. It is difficult to capture it with any siege equipment. And This clumsy method is not my old trick, I have other clever tricks... As long as you follow the plan, the white sand can be broken in one day!"
It sounds like bragging.
"Then what about the plan?" Xiao Chen asked again.
"Then where is General Yin's safety?" Gongsun Shenwen asked in return.
"Five million taels is really too big a sum. Not to mention that the young prince and I don't have it in our hands. Even if we ask the emperor for permission, the Ministry of Revenue can't come up with such a huge sum of money now... But I, Xiao Chen, How about you personally promise the old gentleman 500,000 taels?" Xiao Chen said, "If the Ministry of Revenue can't come up with it, then I, Yanyun County, can do it!"
"How can you say that you're going to lose five hundred thousand taels?" Gongsun Shenyan was furious, "This is really without any sincerity. Farewell!"
It hurts my self-esteem to leave!
"Old sir, if you ask for a ridiculous price, can't we pay you back on the spot?" Lin Qi asked hurriedly, "Since we are talking about business, we can't reach an agreement in just one or two sentences. Why don't we discuss it slowly? ? If you, my boss, are not satisfied with this amount, you can still make a counter-offer."
"Is there anyone who haggles like this? A cut from the waist is already shocking, but he cut it to 10%. This is obviously making fun of the old man!" Gongsun Chenyan blew his beard, glared, and slapped the table, "That's all, since five If you can't come up with a hundred taels, I'll take a big step back... just four million taels!"
"Old man, do you think I, Ouyang Yunyi, am worth one million taels of silver?" Ouyang Yunyi said.
"You sold all your skin and bones, and they're not even worth a hundred taels!" Gongsun Chenyan said rudely.
"Is the Ouyang Family's sign worth it?" Ouyang Yunyi pulled up a tiger skin as a banner.
"Wow, are you still a disciple of the Ouyang family?" Sure enough, Gongsun Shenwen was surprised, "But looking at your appearance, you don't look much alike."
"Replacement is guaranteed," Ouyang Yunyi said, "If my Ouyang family is not enough, old man, look over there!"
"Oh! How dare you threaten me?" Gongsun Shenwen followed his finger and saw a big black iron gun leaning against the wall...
"That's not a threat, I'm just bargaining with you old man." Ouyang Yunyi said with a smile, "If you think it's not worth it, forget it and pretend I didn't say anything." Ouyang Yunyi walked to the wall and picked up the The iron gun, with a gun flower on its arm, whistled in the wind.
"Yun Yi, don't be rude! Why are you wielding a knife and a gun in front of Mr. Gongsun? What if you hurt the old man?" Xiao Chen scolded Yun Yi at first, but then said, "Don't take offense, Mr. This guy has a bad temper and likes to kill people. Once he goes crazy, even I, a junior, can't stop him."
"Then for the sake of the Ouyang family, let's deduct another one million taels... I'm not afraid of him, nor the Ouyang family. I just had some friendship with them back then, so I need to show some kindness." Gongsun Shen Yan is willing to give such a big face, but it seems that he is actually a little scared.
"Three million taels..." Xiao Chen felt that it was still too much.
"Hey, Mr. Gongsun, you just give face to the Ouyang family, don't you give face to the Shangguan family?" Shangguan Wuji on the side smiled and said, "How about one million taels of silver if you dare to ask for it if you have more juniors?" ?”
"Wow!" Gongsun Shenyan was shocked again when he heard this, "You are actually a disciple of the Shangguan family? Who are you, Shangguan Longtu?"
"It's my grandfather, my name is Shangguan Wuji." Shangguan Wuji said.
