Not long after, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and other ten members of the Cao Wei team arrived at Weiyang Palace.
"Meet the King of Qin!"
Completely opposite to his previous attitude towards Guan Yu and others, Liu Zhang was extremely enthusiastic.
"Haha, you don't have to be polite."
"Thank you, King Qin!"
Xiahou Dun and others bowed and thanked him again.
"King Qin, the martial arts competition is over. We are going to return to Yecheng today, and we specifically ask for our resignation from King Qin."
It has to be said that Xiahou Dun was having trouble with his mind, but there was no problem with etiquette.
Liu Zhang was very satisfied with his words and words.
"How many more days will General Xiahou stay?"
Xiahou Dun offered his thanks.
"Thank you, King Qin. It has been a long time now. Besides, there are many domestic affairs, and it is urgent for us to return and deal with them."
"In this case, Nagu will not be forced to stay."
The reason for retaining him was just a polite gesture of friendship.
"The Guhui Association will send someone to Luoyang for the heavy cavalry armor you exchanged. You can just send someone to receive it when the time comes!"
"Thank you, King Qin!"
"When I get back, I'll say hello to Brother Meng De for me."
"I will definitely bring King Qin's goodwill with me!"
"Um..."
Normally, the trip to Chang'an is completely over.
Xiahou Dun only had to hand over his hand to express gratitude and then leave with the others.
However, Xiahou Dun did nothing.
Neither resigned nor left.
Just like a wooden stake, it stayed in place blankly.
Seeing this scene, Liu Zhang knew that Xiahou Dun must have something else to do, so he took the initiative to ask questions.
"General Xiahou, is there anything else?"
Xiahou Dun nodded awkwardly.
"King Qin, I do have something I want to discuss with King Qin. It's just..."
"Just what?"
The result was not what Liu Zhang expected.
"I was just afraid that King Qin would be displeased, so I hesitated to say it..."
"Speak."
Xiahou Dun hesitated for a moment, then blurted out.
"I wonder how many heavy cavalry and iron armor the King of Qin still has?"
Liu Zhang didn't understand.
"What do you want to do?"
"For the record, King Qin, I would like to buy some more. Is it possible?"
"You still want to buy it? Isn't it enough to give you more than 10,000 sets for free?"
Liu Zhang was really drunk.
The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!
"General Xiahou, you still owe Shanggu one million stones of food and grass and haven't paid it back? Are you thinking about Shanggu's armor again?"
"this..."
Xiahou Dun looked embarrassed.
I was embarrassed to say it because I owed Qin money and food and was worried about being questioned by Liu Zhang.
as expected.
"King Qin, this code is the same code..."
"How is it possible that one code can be returned to another? Is it possible that I am just being taken advantage of and letting you borrow it at will?"
Xiahou Dun quickly denied it.
"Prince Qin, I definitely don't mean this!"
"If the King of Qin is willing, I will raise money and food immediately when I get back. Not only will I return the borrowed food and grass in full, but I will also raise the money to purchase the armor!"
After hearing this, Liu Zhang's eyes were full of doubts.
"General Xiahou, if you have this ability, why did Mengde ask Gu to borrow food in the first place?"
"King Qin, I can't explain this matter in a few words. But as long as King Qin agrees, what I promise will definitely be done!"
Xiahou Dun looked embarrassed.
He really couldn't explain this matter.
But as he said, as long as Liu Zhang agrees, he can still do it!
"this..."
Liu Zhang gently rubbed his chin with his right hand and looked at Jia Xu and Xun You.
"Wenhe, Gongda, what do you think?"
Jia Xu winked at Xun You, signaling him to make a decision.
Xun You didn't shirk and walked straight out.
"To inform the King of Qin, the Qin and Wei families are currently in an alliance, and they will have to fight against each other in the future. General Xiahou Dun's request is not an exaggeration."
"As long as the price is reasonable, there is no problem in selling some armor to King Wei."
Liu Zhang nodded.
"It's polite to be courteous, but how can the price be reasonable?"
After saying that, he turned to look at Xiahou Dun and asked him the question.
"King Qin, the price of one gold..."
As soon as Xiahou Dun opened his mouth, Liu Zhang was displeased.
"Haha, General Xiahou really dares to think!"
"One gold? That's the benefit of the martial arts competition! Don't you think that one gold is enough for wages? Are you going to make a profit at a loss?"
"No no no...!"
Xiahou Dun quickly denied it.
"King Qin, what I mean is that I don't dare to ask for a single gold! The specific price is still decided by King Qin!"
"It's up to you to decide? Okay, one hundred gold!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiahou Dun was embarrassed again.
How could he afford a set of one hundred gold?
But I had to buy it, so I could only show a smile that was uglier than crying.
"King Qin, you know the situation in Wei. We really can't afford such a high price."
"Then don't buy it, I'm not begging you to buy it!"
Liu Zhang snorted coldly, showing no mercy at all.
Xiahou Dun had no choice but to look at Xun You for help.
After all, the Xun family has its roots in Xuchang, so it can still help a little bit.
Xun You also showed respect to Xiahou Dun and asked for mercy again.
"King Qin, for so many years, the Xun clan has relied on King Wei to take care of them. Can you please lower the price for your sake?"
Xiahou Dun also continued to do misfortune to Liu Zhang.
"King Qin, it's not that I'm reluctant to give up money, it's that the Wei State is really short of money now!"
Liu Zhang sighed, full of helplessness.
"Gongda, you have already spoken, how can you not give me face!"
As he said that, he glanced at Xiahou Dun again.
"General Xiahou, do you know that if Gongda hadn't personally interceded for you, I wouldn't have wanted to sell you!"
Xiahou Dun nodded repeatedly and glanced at Xun You with gratitude.
"King Qin, I understand...I understand..."
"Let me ask General Xiahou a question. If he can answer it, I will consider lowering the price."
"King Qin, please ask!"
Although he didn't understand Liu Zhang's intention, Xiahou Dun still chose to take it.
At worst, if you answer the question incorrectly, you won’t buy it, and there will be no other consequences.
Liu Zhang thought for a moment and then asked a question.
“In troubled times, what is most worthless?”
Xiahou Dun frowned slightly and was about to think about the answer to this question.
As a result, someone behind him answered for him.
"What kind of problem is this? Of course it's about human life..."
Xiahou Dun was furious and turned around to scold the talkative person.
As a result, it turned out to be Cao Ren.
Then I thought about it, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with Cao Ren's answer.
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, countless people have been killed and injured in the world. Naturally, human life is the least valuable.
"King Qin, in troubled times, people are the most worthless."
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded.
"Yes, General Xiahou is really a smart man."
