Chapter five hundred and eighty gold brocade offering treasures
Li Wan led the National People's Congress to break through the city and beheaded more than 10,000 people, including some masters above the Demon King level, as well as a large number of middle- and lower-level leaders. His record was very impressive.
Taking advantage of this great victory, everyone was satisfied and paid gold to withdraw their troops and retreated to the camp.
It was not impossible to continue the attack, but the opponent had obviously reduced its defense line and was preparing to counterattack. Neither Li Wan nor the Eighth Princess wanted to get into a hard fight, so they gave up as soon as they could.
Li Wan also had some selfish motives, that is, he initiated this war, and the thunder cannons, firearms and ammunition that were the main force of the attack were also donated by him, so his contribution was not insignificant.
Although these things are low-cost in his hands, he does not want to give outsiders the impression that they are too easy to obtain. You must know that these things are easily worth hundreds of millions in the market.
When Li Wan brought out the reason that ammunition was valuable and a battle would cost a lot of money, the eighth princess really believed it.
Soon after, Li Wan returned to the camp and went to see Ge Nan in person.
Seeing that Ge Nan had regained some color and looked good, he smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Ge, we have avenged yesterday's revenge for you."
Ge Nan said: "Thank you, Master, actually, there is no need..."
Li Wan interrupted him and said, "I have my own sense of discretion."
In fact, when he bombarded Guancheng today, in addition to venting ill will for Genan and himself, he also used firearms and magic weapons to establish his authority and show miraculous effects.
With what happened today, a great victory was definitely indispensable. He had formed an alliance with the Eighth Princess, so he had to find some strength to help the Eighth Princess open up the situation.
As for how the eldest prince would view him, Li Wan couldn't control that much.
To be fair, the eldest prince, as the heir to a power, is much better than the eighth princess. Originally, he should have supported the eldest prince in ascending to the throne. However, Lingbao Sect was the first to run the business and had contacts with this party hundreds of years ago.
It cannot be solved in an instant.
What I want is a stable Bibo Mansion, where I can continuously mine treasures, instead of competing with Lingbao Sect and wasting time and energy.
This was a very simple request, but it was difficult for the eldest prince to fulfill it. Therefore, he had no choice but to form an alliance with the eighth princess instead.
Once the alliance is deep, it is not easy to change it easily. At least Li Wan has to consider Hongyu Island and the Eighth Princess, and the friendship between the eldest prince and the Lingbao Sect is not so easy to let go of.
.
Li Wan told Ge Nan: "During these days, you can rest in peace and recuperate, and don't think too much about anything else."
In any case, Ge Nan was injured on duty, so Li Wan immediately ordered the waiter in charge of him to serve him well.
At this time, Xiao Yilong, who was waiting outside, walked in. He sent a message: "Master, the eldest prince has sent someone. Do you want to see him?"
Li Wan's expression changed: "First Prince, what does he want to do?"
Xiao Yilong said: "He didn't say anything, but in my opinion, he has something he wants to discuss secretly with the proprietor."
Li Wan pondered for a moment and said, "Let him wait, I will come later."
Discussing secretly with the eldest prince's envoy might make the eighth princess uneasy, but now the eighth princess relies on Li Wan. Li Wan doesn't need to worry too much.
Soon, Li Wan left the Genan Retreat and returned to his tent, where he saw a handsome mermaid demon cultivator already waiting there.
He stood up. After the ceremony, he smiled and said, "I'm going to Hai Baihua. I'm here on the order of His Highness."
"It turns out to be fellow Daoist Hai, please sit down." Li Wan stretched out his hand.
The two guests and host sat separately, and Li Wan asked with some confusion: "I wonder what your friend is doing here?"
Hai Baihua smiled and said: "I came here for the thunder cannons in the hands of fellow Taoist. I heard that fellow Taoist Li gave many thunder cannons to the eighth princess. These are magic weapons for attacking cities and defeating enemies. I don't know.
Can you sell some to my Highness? We can discuss the price."
Li Wan smiled slightly. This Hai Baihua was quite straightforward. Of course, it might be that the eldest prince specifically asked him to get straight to the point when he arrived and not give himself a chance to avoid talking.
But he said: "I'm afraid I will disappoint fellow Daoist Hai and the eldest prince. We will not sell this magic weapon."
Hai Baihua was slightly startled: "Friend Daoist Li, everything is easy to discuss..."
Li Wan waved his hand to stop him from wasting any more words: "Fellow Taoist, I don't know. This thing is implemented in our Li family in Hushan through regional distribution and quota supply. Where it is sold and how much it is sold, it all happens early."
Preparation means doing what is planned, and I will never have firearms or magic weapons on hand that exceed the plan."
Hai Baihua was stunned. He didn't expect that purchasing this thing would be so troublesome.
He didn't believe in making preparations in advance and doing it as planned. As the founder of this kind of magic weapon, Li Wan would definitely have a large amount of inventory on hand. If he was willing to distribute some, there would be no such problems.
However, Li Wan's words were all about this, and it was impossible to obtain it at any price.
Hai Baihua did not waste time here, and after testing again to no avail, he found an excuse to leave.
Not long after, Hai Baihua returned to the eldest prince and reported: "First prince, when this fellow Daoist Li heard me talking about that matter, he started to be vague and didn't seem to be very willing to cooperate with us."
The eldest prince frowned: "You can't make any money even if you have spiritual jade? How much benefit did my eighth sister give him?"
Haibohua said: "I heard that it is an entire island fiefdom and a comprehensive alliance agreement."
The eldest prince looked solemn: "She is really willing to spend money! Humph, the eighth sister is so sure that she will not suffer a loss?"
In fact, he also knows that the Eighth Princess is at a disadvantage and must rely on the strong. However, he has been smart and alert since he was a child. He has made rapid progress in cultivation and is now a powerful Demon King. He wants him to be like a little bird like the Eighth Princess.
It is absolutely impossible to rely on others.
All this time, only the forces from all sides have surrendered to please him. He is unwilling and unable to pay the price that the Eighth Princess can pay.
The eldest prince said: "The problem of the demon cultivator in our sea must be solved by the method of demon cultivator. Strange skills and tricks can only show off one's prestige for a while!"
Hai Baihua smiled bitterly and said: "Having said that, this is a good thing after all. If you can get it, and cooperate with the elite soldiers and generals at hand, you will not worry about the overall situation of Xinglan Island."
Hai Baihua is a knowledgeable person. In Bibo Mansion, because it is located near the sea and is influenced by the master of the mansion, he has a lot of knowledge about human civilization.
While he was talking, a guard came to report outside the door, and Liu Jichang came.
The eldest prince and Hai Baihua looked at each other: "What is he here for?"
The eldest prince pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something and said: "Please come quickly."
Liu Jichang walked in: "I've met the eldest prince."
The eldest prince stood up to greet him and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Liu, what do you want from me?"
Liu Jichang said: "I heard someone said that today Fellow Daoist Li sent people to attack the city with thunder cannons, broke an outer guard camp, and beheaded more than 10,000 people?"
"That's right." This matter had already spread throughout the army, and the eldest prince was not surprised how Liu Jichang learned about it.
Liu Jichang sighed: "This firearm magic weapon is really powerful."
The eldest prince couldn't help but glance at him. He had heard about the discord between Lingbao Sect and Tiannan Qi Dao, but he didn't know what Liu Jichang's purpose was in bringing it up deliberately.
Liu Jichang smiled slightly. He also guessed the eldest prince's doubts, so he first talked about what he had seen and heard today. After arousing the other party's interest, he suddenly changed the subject and said with a bit of comment: "
...It can be seen that although Daoyou Li is a genius, he ultimately lacks the background of a major sect and has not been able to solve the shortcomings of these firearms and magic weapons being expensive and rare..."
Li Wan strictly controlled the supply of firearms and treated various formulas of clay gunpowder and black gold gunpowder separately, all in order to control the situation, but in Liu Jichang's mouth, it became a sign that the fire was not enough.
Liu Jichang is also extremely good at speaking. He knows that the eldest prince, who has been in a high position for a long time, will definitely look at everything around him with a critical eye. If he treats him as a fool and says some untrue and false words, he will not be recognized by him, but will make him
I feel that the elders of Lingbao Sect are not worthy of their reputation.
Therefore, his evaluation of firearms just now focused on both advantages and disadvantages, and was fair and sound.
It would be difficult for anyone to find fault.
However, at the last moment, he still hacked Li Wan without leaving any trace.
The eldest prince didn't understand the mystery, and he couldn't help but become shaken even as he talked around.
Liu Jichang said boldly: "Actually, if you want to break the current deadlock, besides firearms, there are other ways, so why should the eldest prince bother with this?
The eldest prince said with some surprise: "Does Fellow Daoist Liu have any idea?"
"Liu came today just to resolve this matter." Liu Jichang said, "I also asked the eldest prince to recruit the man outside the camp gate. His name is Jin Jin, and he is a junior disciple of our sect with good strength."
The eldest prince looked outside with his consciousness and found that someone was waiting outside.
He thought for a moment and then asked someone to recruit him.
"Jin is from the Lingbao Sect's Jialong Peak Lu Family Dojo. He is the second disciple. He has met Elder Liu and His Highness."
This is a middle-aged monk with a dignified appearance and a late-stage alchemy cultivation. When he saw a few people in the tent, he greeted them politely.
"It turns out to be an expert from the Lingbao Sect..."
The eldest prince looked a little strange, and he was secretly wondering in his heart. So many strong masters were unable to do anything about things like breaking the deadlock. What could he, a pill-forming monk, do?
Moreover, he has some knowledge about the human race and knows that there are distinctions in the Qi Dao between the title of master, the title of Yezi, the title of grand master, etc. This person claims to be a disciple of a certain peak, but he is still a second-ranked person, and he is too unknown.
Despite this, the eldest prince still smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Jin, you are so polite."
Jin Jin also seemed to see that the eldest prince was a little disapproving of his arrival, but he was not annoyed. He took out a small, gray iron ball from his bag, held it in his hand, and said to the eldest prince: "Jin
I learned from Elder Liu’s letter that His Highness seems to be troubled by the current situation, so I came here to offer this treasure, which may help His Highness.”
The eldest prince was slightly surprised and took the small iron ball in his hand somewhat unexpectedly.
