As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!
Xiong Wuliang was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out of his head. He even forgot about the scorching heat for a moment: "Is the King of Yue surprised?"
Si Jing snorted, seemingly satisfied with Xiong Wuliang's expression.
Xiong Wuliang was dumbfounded.
This guy is so scared and so courageous!
In Chu State, Si Jing's status as the 'King of Yue' was not recognized. Everyone in the Chu State regarded Si Jing as "a remnant of Yue who escaped by chance" and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.
This guy actually came to the house of his great lord of Chu state in a grand manner, and did not hide his identity at all.
I don't know whether I should praise him for his courage or his stupidity.
When Xiong Wuliang met his father-in-law, he didn't know what to say.
After reacting for a long time, I finally remembered how to start a less embarrassing topic with my father-in-law——
"Have you brought...the ransom of 30,000 gold?"
Everyone:...
"How much do you think my head is worth?" Si Jing said coldly after a brief silence.
Xiong Wuliang shook his head repeatedly: "It's still worth some money now, but it won't be worth anything in a year and a half."
Si was shocked and speechless for a moment.
I really can't refute it.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Si Jing is just a temporary puppet used by the Qi people for transition. It can take as short as one year or as long as two years. This puppet king, who is not recognized by all the countries in the Central Plains, will disappear forever in the long river of history.
Si Jing shook her sleeves angrily: "Where is my little girl?"
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand silently, and the soldiers on the side led Si Jing to the backyard... Soon, Si Yi's surprised voice came from behind...
Xiong Wu was numb.
After all, I didn't expect that this old guy would actually come to the door in person... I didn't know how he and Si Yi would discredit him.
After a long time.
Si Jing returned to the left side room, where Shi Shiran sat in front of Xiong Wuliang.
"He's just a yellow-mouthed boy."
"I didn't expect that I would fall into your hands...what a shame!" Si Jing said harshly, seemingly dissatisfied.
Xiong Wuliang smiled: "Uh, Cheng."
Si Jing said coldly: "I didn't bring any ransom, so just let my little girl stay in your house!"
Although the tone was cold and harsh, a hint of tenderness flashed across Si Jing's pupils.
Si Jing has many children, but during the civil strife in Vietnam in the past few years, many died and some disappeared.
By the time Si Jing established a firm foothold in the turmoil of the Yue Kingdom and became the dignified "Shaking King", he had become a loner.
Unexpectedly, the whereabouts of a daughter could still be found, which made Si Jing really surprised and happy.
Si Jing also thought clearly about his own fate.
As a puppet of Qi State, although he escaped the fierce attack of Chu State at that time, it was just a slow death.
If he had kept his only remaining daughter with him, she might be exterminated by the Qi State, or be used as a concubine by a great noble of the Qi State...
Now it seems that Siyi is living quite well in Quyang Junmiliang, and it doesn't look like she has been bullied... Xiong Wuliang is still very good to his daughter.
For now, just stay in Chu State!
…
Seeing that Si was shocked and stood up to leave, Xiong Wuliang suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
The last king of the Yue Kingdom was respected by Xiong Wuliang.
Whether it was the old and hot rocker on the battlefield or the warm father in front of him, Xiong Wuliang was moved by it.
Such an outstanding person just regrets that he was born at the wrong time. If he had been born decades ago, he might not have been a hero who revitalized the Yue Kingdom.
Si Jing stopped and looked at Xiong Wuliang, a trace of ridicule flashed across her lips: "Why, do you want to keep me alone?"
Xiong Wuliang coughed lightly: "I don't dare."
"It's just that I have something I want to discuss with the king!"
"May I ask the King of Yue - do you really want to sit back and wait for death?"
Si Jing remained silent, only his pupils flickered slightly unnoticeably.
Xiong Wuliang didn't say anything, just looked at Si Jing quietly.
After the strange silence lasted for a long time, Si Jing finally spoke first, breaking the silence in the room: "Qi is dominating the world. Is there anything else you, a child, can do?"
Xiong Wuliang remained silent and just smiled.
There was another moment of silence, and Si Jing finally couldn't help it anymore: "I want the Chu army's weapons, please give me a price!"
…
What Si Jing said was certainly not the standard weapon of Chu soldiers.
But the weapons equipped by Quyang Army and Shaohu Army!
Repeating crossbow! Arrows! Fine iron swords and armor!
These sophisticated weapons, which belonged exclusively to Xiong Wuliang, shocked King Yao Si under Jianyang City and suffered a lot.
Si Jing thought about it and couldn't think of any mistakes in his decision to attack Jianyang to cut off the Chu army's retreat... If the only mistake was to say that it was underestimating the combat effectiveness of Xiong Wuliang's tribe.
Although the Yue Kingdom is small now, it has an area three hundred miles north of Yushan Mountain and has tens of thousands of people.
If the state of Chu has such a powerful weapon in hand, it will be a hard nut to crack. If the state of Qi wants to take action, it will at least cost some troubles.
Xiong Wuliang smiled, not bothering to talk to the person in front of him: "I want iron ore!"
South of the current royal city of the Puppet Yue Kingdom [Langya], there is an iron mine!
Although it is not as good as Yiyang Tieshan, which was taken away from the Koreans by the Qin people, it is still a big mine that Xiong Wuliang covets!
It was precisely because of this iron mine that Xiong Wuliang was so angry at Qi Guo's peach picking behavior, and even set a fire in the middle of the night to vent his anger.
Si Jing's eyes didn't even blink: "Okay!"
"I want the crossbows, arrows, your fine iron armor and swords and halberds!"
Xiong Wuliang laughed, and they were very affectionate to the naked eye!
"The repeating crossbows are given free of charge, but arrows need to be purchased for money."
Xiong Wuliang didn't bother to ask for a price for something that could be imitated like the Liannu, so he just gave it away - anyway, the Liannu consumes a huge amount of arrows, and traditional hand-made arrows could not meet the demand. In the end, he had to buy arrows from himself. arrow.
It's totally possible to get it back.
"As for swords, armor and other items made of smelted iron, I need ten times the weight of iron ore!" Xiong Wuliang waved his hand.
Si Jing's eyes turned green: "Ten times the weight?"
"Why don't you go and grab it?"
Xiong Wuliang smiled unscrupulously: "My lord, don't blame me... If you are not satisfied with the price, you can go out and turn right and ask other people..."
I've got you!
To remove impurities from iron ore and smelt a piece of iron, you only need twice the weight of iron ore at most.
Xiong Wuliang opened his mouth and asked for ten times!
The hundred-forged iron repeatedly forged by machines in his own fiefdom can be regarded as a dimensionality-reducing blow in this era when most people still use bronze weapons.
This is the only one, no one else, buy it if you like!
And Xiong Wuliang also had a secret up his sleeve - Shi Er had developed a blast furnace iron-making process, and the iron produced by this blast furnace was infinitely close to steel.
Just in time, he sold the iron-smelting equipment currently in service of the Quyang Army and Shaohu Army to Si Jing, in exchange for a large amount of iron ore to upgrade the entire army's equipment!
Si stared at Xiong Wuliang in shock.
The expression on the latter's face was unwavering.
After a while, Si Jing took a deep breath: "When and where will the transaction be made?"
