Helian Tieshu's unsightly expression darkened a little, and he thought to himself: Sure enough, this person is also a master who refuses to see rabbits and doesn't let go of hawks. It seems that he can't do it without paying a considerable price.

After Helian Tieshu pondered for a while, he carefully tested: "I am willing to donate eight thousand taels of gold as a birthday celebration for you. I wonder if you are satisfied?"

As Helian Tieshu spoke, he carefully observed the other person's expression, and saw that there was no expression on Murong Fu's stiff face, and there was even a hint of coldness in his bottomless eyes. Helian Tieshu thought: Not good. Knowing that the price he offered was not appreciated by the other party, for the sake of his own life, he quickly changed his words and said: "The part just now was only for the adults. I also gave an additional ten thousand taels of gold in the hope that the adults can pass it on to the concubine. "

This comes and goes, which is eighteen thousand taels of gold. In order to save his own life, Helian Tieshu could be said to have spent almost all his wealth. Xixia was a small country with poor people, but it was not as wealthy as the Song Dynasty. Although Helian Tieshu is the deputy commander-in-chief of Xixia and the second-ranking figure in the military, he usually has many ways to make money. However, he has only accumulated so much wealth over the years. If he takes more, he will not be able to cover up his shameful methods. .

Thinking of this, Helian Tieshu's heart was bleeding: It hurts, it really hurts too much.

Murong Fu observed the expression on Helian Tieshu's face with great interest, knowing that the other party was already having a hard time. Originally, he didn't expect to squeeze any real money out of Helian Tieshu's hands, but now he really doesn't think much of it.

Seeing that the other party was still indifferent, Helian Tieshu became anxious: "Sir, the villain really has nothing to hide."

Murong Fu waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Marshal Helian is worrying too much. What I want is not these yellow and white things. On the contrary, now I have a huge benefit that I plan to give to the marshal."

Helian Tieshu just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this, but then his heart rose in his throat: If you can refuse such a huge benefit of nearly 20,000 taels of gold, then what the other party wants must be even more unacceptable. The benefits are either extremely risky or difficult to achieve.

Helian Tieshu composed himself, gritted his teeth and said, "If you have anything to do, please just ask your subordinates. I will give you your full cooperation!"

Just kidding, your own life is at stake, no matter how great the risk is, can it be more dangerous than your own life?

Murong Fu smiled: Sure enough, this person is just as Li Qiushui said, with mediocre abilities and greed for life and fear of death. Xixia is really unlucky to have such a coach.

Murong Fu said: "Your Excellency, there is no need to be nervous. This matter is of great benefit to you. When Li Yanzong was still in the Central Plains, he heard that your country's iron armor was the only one in the world. In the battle of Sanchuankou, your soldiers killed the Song army and horses. If the whole army is wiped out, I will have the power of this armor. I have a lot of grievances with the Song Dynasty royal family, and I have long wanted to raise a righteous army in the Central Plains to overthrow the Zhao and Song Dynasties."

"Now in the Song Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Gao listens to the government behind the curtain, and the young emperor has not yet reached his crown. The ruler of the court is weak and the ministers are suspicious. The Empress Dowager Gao of the Song Dynasty is already old. Once she dies, the little emperor will definitely mess up the affairs of the court when he comes to rule. When the time comes, , Li Yanzong established a righteous banner in Shandong. Daxia only needed to send tens of thousands of elite troops to contain the elite Western Army of the Song Dynasty on the northwest border. The Liao Kingdom started in the north, and Tubo and Dali launched an attack in the southwest. We and other five parties jointly raised troops, even if that The Song Dynasty can resurrect Sun Wu, but it will inevitably suffer defeat on the battlefield. By then, we and the five parties will share half of the Song Dynasty. Wouldn't it be great? This is the only one."

"In the last war between Song and Xia, tens of thousands of Daxia elites returned in vain. Marshal Helian himself was also seriously injured by the martial arts people in the Central Plains. Such deep hatred must be avenged. If Li Yanzong's proposal can be achieved. Helian The marshal can personally lead the Great Xia cavalry through the martial arts world of the Central Plains to avenge him with one arrow, two."

"Since Emperor Wu Lie, Daxia's national wars with the Song Dynasty have won more and lost less, but they have never achieved great success. The key is that Daxia is located in the bitter cold land of the northwest, and the country is small and the people are poor. If the marshal can personally lead the army, he can win Qin Feng Road and Yongxing Army in the northwest of the Song Dynasty. Millions of Song people and thousands of miles of Song territory will enter the territory of Great Xia. This is an achievement that Emperor Wu Lie has never achieved. Marshal Helian can be said to have made great achievements with this great achievement. Le, when the time comes, don’t say that no one in the Great Xia court will dare to compete with the marshal. Even if he breaks the earth and becomes a king, it is not impossible to be alone in the south. Marshal, isn’t this kind of achievement worth the marshal’s risk?”

Murong Fu's tongue was like a lotus flower, and the cakes he painted were bigger and bigger, smashing the Helian Iron Tree until he was dizzy.

Helian Tieshu's eyes widened: If Murong Fu's first two conditions only made him a little excited. Murong Fu's last condition simply made his heart beat.

The south is called solitary!

Helian Tieshu is a descendant of the Huns, and his ancestors have been famous for hundreds of years. Hundreds of years ago, in what is now Xixia, Helian Bobo, the ancestor of Helian Tieshu, established the Helianxia regime. The "Xia" of Xixia is inherited from this. Not to mention that during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Huns once occupied the Mobei and were eyeing the Central Plains.

Helian Tieshu only felt that his lips were a little dry.

Murong Fu noticed Helian Tieshu's expression and knew that this old boy was completely attracted now. He sighed in his heart: Sure enough, few people can resist the temptation of being an orphan in the south. Otherwise, those princes in the past would have put all their efforts into fighting for the throne instead of letting their wealth and wealth sit idle.

Helian Tieshu took a deep breath and said, "I understand. So Mr. Li, how can I help you, Mr. Li?"

As if he had seen the moment when he ascended the throne, Helian Tieshu felt that his whole body was energized, and even the names he called Murong Fu and himself changed.

Murong Fu secretly cursed "Idiot!" but did not feel angry at all: What could be easier to play with than an ambitious idiot?

Seeing that the time was almost up, Murong Fu stated his purpose: "I am willing to pay the price of one hundred thousand taels of gold. I hope that Marshal Helian can provide me with 20,000 sets of cold-forged armor specially designed for the Great Xia cavalry to use as troops! After this is done, I will give you another hundred thousand taels of gold to thank you!"

"What did you say!"

Hearing the conditions offered by Murong Fu, Helian Tieshu was so shocked that he could not recover for a long time. First, he was surprised at the generosity of the opponent's offer, which was two hundred thousand taels of gold! Such a huge sum of money could not be withdrawn even if Daxia's treasury was emptied. The second is that I was surprised by the opponent's huge appetite. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is bold: 20,000 sets of iron armor! It is almost one-fifth of the armor of Daxia's entire army. Don't look at the 200,000 or 300,000 troops that could be mobilized during the Great Xia War. In fact, half of these people can be called elite armored troops, which is very good.

No matter how courageous Helian Tieshu was, no matter how greedy for money, his eyes were red with gold, he would not dare to agree to such a deal. If you do that, you will really involve all nine of your own clans!

Helian Tieshu gritted his teeth and said: "Young master, you don't know. Our Daxia armor has always been strictly supervised. All armors are made and numbered by the craftsmanship bureau. Even if one set is lost, it will be involved extensively and closely investigated. Unless there is a war between two armies. , otherwise the lack of a pair of armor would be a big news. It would not be difficult if it were just a few dozen or hundreds of sets of armor. But the young master said that he wanted 20,000 sets! Even if he died, Helian Tieshu would not dare to take on this deal. "

There was a hint of disappointment in Murong Fu's eyes, but in his heart this answer was expected: "Marshal Helian really doesn't think about it anymore?"

Helian Tieshu gritted his teeth and said, "You must never obey your order!"

Just kidding, if you have a life to make money, but if you don’t have a life to spend money, you have to bring the nine tribes with you. Who would do such a thing?

Hearing this, Murong Fu said: "In that case, I can only find someone else. I will pretend that I have never been here tonight. Take my leave."

"Wait!"

Helian Tieshu gritted his teeth and said.

"Marshal, what else do you want to talk about?" Murong Fu pretended to be confused.

"Although the iron armor cannot be provided to the Young Master, I can still get my hands on the iron stones at the foot of Helan Mountain. I wonder if the Young Master is interested?"

Helian Tieshu made up his mind: for the sake of glory and wealth, and for his own life, he would risk everything!

When Murong Fu heard this, he showed a hint of disappointment: "Iron stone? There is inexhaustible supply of iron stone in the world. Why should I go to your country to buy it? Since the marshal has no intention, I can just look for someone else, so why bother teasing him? Are you down?"

Having said that, Murong Fu felt happy: this fish finally fell into the net!
