Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 390 Zhang Zhung Arrives to Buy Stock
The land of Shu in the Tang Dynasty, Chengdu Mansion.

The people are still living in peace.

Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and others also visited Chengdu Mansion for several days under the leadership of local staff.

This can be regarded as seeing the prosperity of Shu, especially Cheng Yaojin, who has already given birth to the idea of ​​not wanting to return to Chang'an.

Fang Xuanling was much more reserved, but secretly thought that it would be good to come and live in Shu every year.

Inside the inn, Luo Xingluo couldn't bear it any longer.

He never thought that Li Ke, the king of Shu, would delay it for so long when he said to think about it.

If it drags on, I'm afraid that the war between Nanzhao Kingdom and Xiangxiong Kingdom will definitely end in defeat.

How could he delay any longer when he was so anxious.

Just when he was thinking of going to visit Li Ke at the Prince of Shu's Mansion again, he received a message from Li Ke.

He immediately went to see Li Ke.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

Luo Xingluo bowed and saluted.

"But you agreed to the deal with Nanzhao Kingdom?"

Seeing that Li Ke asked him about this as soon as they met, he knew that he was already in a hurry.

"It's okay to sell some equipment to Nanzhao Kingdom."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tension in Luo Xingluo's heart immediately relaxed.

"So good."

Luo Xingluo said with a smile.

Li Ke was not in a hurry, but picked up the teacup and took a sip by himself.

"Don't say it's good, you haven't heard the price from me yet."

"It's not too late to say yes after hearing the price."

Li Ke said bluntly.

"The price doesn't matter, as long as you can buy good equipment."

Luo Xingluo said, looking very rich and powerful.

"So, let's go and have a look with this king first."

With that said, Li Ke took people to see the weapons.

There are still five-stone-heavy crossbows, continuous-fire crossbows, spears, shields and the like.

Of course there are some new weapons too.

"This bow has the power of five stones. Let me show you first."

After finishing speaking, Li Ke picked up the crossbow and pulled the bowstring.

The arrow feathers were like the wind and shot straight through the bullseye.

Then, he picked up the bow and crossbow again, and the arrows missed bursts, which shocked people.

Luo Xingluo looked at it, and then matched it with the ordnance in the information.

This is the weapon that was sold to the Zhang Zhung Kingdom before.

"How? Are you satisfied?"

Li Ke asked.

"I am very satisfied, but what is the price?"

Luo Xingluo said.

"100 taels."

Li Ke said.

He is not guilty at all.

Now the Nanzhao Kingdom is in urgent need of these weapons, and they will buy them no matter how expensive he sells them.

Luo Xingluo couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect it to be so expensive.

Just about to bargain, I heard Li Ke say again.

"No bargaining."

"Since the Nanzhao Kingdom is not interested in these weapons, forget it."

Seeing that Luo Xingluo remained silent, Li Ke smiled.

After leaving the speaker, he walked outside.

Luo Xingluo hurried to catch up.

"His Royal Highness, how many instruments are there in total?"

he asked.

"Eight thousand, can I have all of them?"

Seeing that he really wanted to buy it, Li Ke stopped.

Luo Xingluo gritted her teeth and responded, and then quickly went through the formalities.

Wait until you get the weapon.

He didn't even have time to say goodbye to Li Ke, so he hurried back to Nanzhao Kingdom.

And just as he left, Li Ke received news that the special envoy of the Zhang Zhung Kingdom had arrived.

"I don't know what the special envoy is here for?"

Seeing Muhammad Gilbuz again, Li Ke asked with a smile.

He already knew about the battle between the Zhang Zhung Kingdom and the Nanzhao Kingdom.

That's why they agreed to sell a batch of weapons to Nanzhao.

In this way, the two countries will fight more, and the profits on his side will naturally be greater.

It will be easier to win the two countries in the future.

But unexpectedly, the Zhang Zhung Kingdom would send a special envoy to Shu to meet him at such a critical moment.

"See Your Highness the King of Shu.

" said the envoy saluting.

"Your Highness, I am here this time to purchase another batch of equipment."

"I just sent a batch of equipment before, are you going to buy another batch so soon?"

Li Ke was not surprised, but asked lightly.

"Your Highness, I don't know why."

"The equipment used to attack Tubo before was suddenly damaged and could no longer be used at all."

"No way, I can only buy another batch."

"This time we still trade with spices, okay?"

The special envoy looked puzzled and asked expectantly.

All destroyed?Li Ke grasped the key point.

He is still very confident in the weapons developed by Datang.

How could it be completely destroyed in such a short period of time.

"All destroyed?"

Li Ke frowned and asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, we also find it incredible."

The special envoy is also a thoughtful person, and he will definitely not say that there is something wrong with the weapons provided by Datang in front of Li Ke.

So I just said that I don't know why, after all, they still rely on Datang now, and this relationship cannot be broken.

Li Ke didn't ask any more questions, anyway, he didn't say anything after the sale of the things he sold.

Since it was broken, it was either their own people who caused troubles, or outsiders.

The reasons for this can be checked by the people of the Zhang Zhung Kingdom themselves.

"How many more do you plan to order this time?"

Li Ke asked again.

"Ten thousand."

said the envoy.

He would like to buy more, but after all, his strength is limited, and this is already the maximum amount that the Zhang Zhung Kingdom can produce.

"Don't you need to buy some more?"

Li Ke asked very sincerely.

The price he gave to the Zhang Zhung Kingdom was half the price he paid to the Nanzhao Kingdom.

"These are enough for this time, and I can order them again next time."

The special envoy wanted to buy more, but he really couldn't come up with so many supplies.

"it is good!"

Li Ke responded.

Then, let the subordinates handle the delivery matters.

The special envoy of the Zhang Zhung Kingdom also left in a hurry after receiving the goods.

"They're going pretty fast."

Fang Xuanling smiled while holding the wine glass.

"Currently, Nanzhao Kingdom and Zhang Zhung Kingdom are fighting fiercely. If we don't rush back in time, I'm afraid there will be more accidents."

"It's okay if you don't worry."

Li Ke laughed.

He was very satisfied with the battle between Nanzhao Guo and the Zhang Zhung Kingdom.

This time both countries have purchased equipment, and it won't be long before a fierce fight breaks out.

"Does Your Highness intend to win these two countries?"

Fang Xuanling asked suddenly.

If the southwestern border remains turbulent, sooner or later it will affect Datang.

Especially now the trade routes leading to Persia and other places need to pass through the Zhang Zhung Kingdom.

Moreover, in the struggle between the two countries, one side is bound to lose.

At that time, no matter which side wins, after annexing the other side, it will definitely take advantage of the situation to take down the neighboring small countries.

At that time, the business routes from Datang to Tianzhu, Persia and other places may be cut off.

Maybe he will use this to blackmail Datang.

Therefore, after all, it would not be of much benefit to Datang to wait like this.

Li Ke understood what Fang Xuanling was worried about, so he put down his glass and said:
"Master Fang, please don't worry, the king has made arrangements, it just depends on who is lucky in these two countries."

The lucky country can stay until the end, and the unlucky country, don't blame him for fighting and killing.
