At this time, Apu spoke again: "According to what they mean, they should treat you to dinner tonight."
"Ask me?"
I chuckled: "In their eyes, I'm just a tipster, at most a messenger. They won't give me face like this, right?"
If you show hospitality when you have nothing to do, if you are not a woman, you will be a thief.
As long as he can meet my requirements, there is no need to be so polite.
While he was talking, the White Elephant King had already opened the door and entered. Just as Apu said, the White Elephant King had indeed held a banquet in the evening.
I thought about it carefully, that’s okay.
At night.
Several followers filed in and invited us to the main hall to talk.
There were only a few of us in the huge palace, and the White Elephant King didn’t even leave any followers.
I looked around and asked half-jokingly: "I've heard of the reputation of the White Elephant Palace for a long time, why don't I see anyone there?"
"Hi."
The gorgeously dressed White Elephant King put on a bitter look and said, "If we all stay here, we will all starve to death."
"There is not much land that can grow food, and the cattle and sheep are as thin as straw. We can only make money in our old business."
I nodded to myself and said nothing.
But I know that I can basically tell that the White Elephant King is not lying.
After a while, *** laughed a few times: "With your abilities, it shouldn't be so difficult."
"There is no way, the world is difficult."
While talking, the White Elephant King took out a square object wrapped in red cloth from under the table.
"Take this, it will definitely be enough for you to do your job."
The moment I took it, my heart suddenly shook.
Shen, so heavy!
This gold brick weighs at least a dozen kilograms. How about nearly a million?
The White Elephant King looked at me with a melancholy face: "Go back and tell Father Zan that we will find a way to get food."
Tsk tsk tsk.
I put the gold brick away with a smile and said with a smile: "It was just one piece during the day, but not now."
"How……."
I looked at the gold bricks all over the room and said softly, "Sorry, I want them all."
"I know this is difficult for you, so I'll give you time to think about it."
I raised my hand and looked at my watch: "At this time tomorrow, give me your final answer. If you still feel that it doesn't work, don't be embarrassed. I will go back and resume my life as scheduled."
"You guys are raising prices just because you're sitting there!"
"Isn't it possible?"
Having said that, I stood up and waved my hand gently at Ji Canghai: "I won't have any more food. Please think about it slowly."
Before leaving, what Zan's father was most worried about was that there was no reason to start a war.
Now that I keep pushing a few yards, I will definitely force him to resist. As long as he dares to take action, all the reasons and excuses will come.
Father Zan told me before that we should not blatantly collect military expenses.
There is no other reason. The common people want to live in peace and contentment. Once a war breaks out, only the people at the bottom will suffer the most.
It is precisely because of this that no one is willing to raise military expenditures for fear of war.
In desperation, Zan's father can only appear as a man who makes money.
Now there is nothing to worry about.
Back in the tent, Ji Canghai's first words were filled with helplessness.
"You are becoming more courageous as you get older. If you dare to blatantly threaten someone in someone else's territory, you are really not afraid that you will not be able to get out."
I lowered my head and looked at my watch: "The troops will arrive tomorrow, what are you afraid of?"
"From now on, eat your own biscuits when you are hungry, drink your own water when you are thirsty, and survive without anything."
My goal was to piss him off, so those worries didn't exist.
However, just as I was making all preparations, the White Elephant King's people suddenly broke in.
And they just said one thing - let me prepare the car tomorrow and take away all the gold bricks.
For a moment, I was so shocked that I almost vomited blood.
That's a room full of gold bricks. Added up, it's impossible to calculate in terms of money. It's enough for at least three generations to live a happy life.
How could the White Elephant King agree so readily?
Either the White Elephant King was really frightened by Zan's father, or there was a scam here.
I didn't show too much surprise, I just nodded: "Send it over first, I'll take a look before talking."
I thought they were using a delaying tactic, but I didn't expect that they actually sent the gold bricks.
