Emperor Qianshan's tone was a bit arrogant. No matter how you say it, he is the king of a country, and you can't lose face no matter what. Even if you are famous all over the world, you are just a lord of the Qiankun Empire. I can already respect you in person.
It's right.
"Haha!" Jiang Xingchen looked at Emperor Qianshan calmly and asked slowly: "I just want to ask, do the emperor want to become an intermediate member of Xingchen leader soon?"
As soon as he heard this, Emperor Qianshan's expression changed. They tried hard to get a super user quota, and most of them were going for the crossbows and steam engines. When Jiang Xingchen opened the second batch of super users, he made one.
The hierarchy system, if you want to buy a crossbow, you have to wait at least three years. He was so angry that he scolded him for a long time.
"Jiang Xingchen just say how much money you want. As for the limited time, it's too harmful to you!" Not only Emperor Qianshan was scolding Jiang Xingchen, but other forces were also scolding him, and they were deeply resentful about the three-year time limit.
However, no matter how much you scold or how unhappy you are, you have to apply for super users. After all, you will have hope. If you don’t apply for it, you won’t be able to get anything. Other forces have it, but you don’t have it. Once there is any conflict, you will definitely suffer a loss!
Now, Jiang Xingchen suddenly told him that he could break the time limit and obtain the permissions of intermediate users in advance. Of course, he could not calm down. The arrogance and majesty that he had maintained in front of Jiang Xingchen collapsed instantly and asked hurriedly: "What should I do?"
Jiang Xingchen still had a faint expression and said, "In order to advance to the level, in addition to waiting for three years, there is another way, which is to contribute to the development of Xingchen Leader."
Emperor Qianshan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Duke Jiang, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it, there is no need to circle around like this!" He was not a fool either. He understood Jiang Xingchen's intention at first sight, so how could he give it to himself for nothing.
Intermediate members just don’t know what the Qianshan Kingdom needs to pay.
"Okay! The emperor is quick to speak, so I said bluntly... My team will frequently go between the Empire and the Ice Field in the future. I hope to sign a security agreement with the Qianshan Kingdom!"
"Safety Agreement, what does it mean?" Emperor Qianshan didn't understand very well. But when he talked about Bingyuan, he was a little moved. What exactly made Jiang Xingchen willing to bring out both papermaking and cement manufacturing technology!
He had sent someone to inquire and investigate before, but in the end they were all beaten back by Tang Tian's old man. This aroused his curiosity even more, and he believed that the things in the ice field must be very important to Jiang Xingchen. Once they are discovered, they will be in the future.
He just found an opportunity to start. For this reason, he had contacted Xuanyuan Tianzong and gave a clear reply there. They were also very interested in Ice Field.
Of course, when you start, you can't involve yourself and pretend to be a bandit. In that way, the Qiankun Empire has no place to spread fire. It is impossible to provoke troops and question them. Sending troops without any evidence will inevitably cause panic in other countries and re-align.
"The security agreement is from the Ice Field to the Qiankun Empire. The Qianshan Kingdom needs to ensure the safety of the personnel and materials of the team, otherwise I have the right to hold your country accountable!" Jiang Xingchen explained with a smile.
"What?" Emperor Qianshan stared at him with anger. If this agreement was signed, wouldn't Qianshan Kingdom become your bodyguard? Any accident would be counted on my head. If the Xuanyuan Tianzong was paralyzed, it would be Xuanyuan Tianzong.
I'm going to touch you! I have to send an army to protect you, right?
With a thought, Emperor Qianshan would refuse. He was a little hesitant and was shaking between obtaining the intermediate user qualification in advance and the things that Ice Field. At this moment, when he heard Jiang Xingchen's conditions, he certainly would not agree. At worst, we would wait three times.
Year!
However, before he could speak, Jiang Xingchen said again: "If your country signs this agreement, I will provide the emperor with more intermediate user qualifications. I can also sell you an extra crossbow and a steam engine!"
"Cough cough cough!" Emperor Qianshan's words came to his mouth, and he swallowed them all at once, choking himself and coughing, his face turned red. The subordinates next to him were so scared that they hurried over to calm him down.
It took a long time for Emperor Qianshan to breathe evenly. However, he didn't say anything and fell into hesitation again.
Two crossbows and two steam engines, the price is much higher. On the surface, it seems that the purchase has only doubled, but in fact, even if you upgrade to an intermediate user in three years, you cannot buy the second crossbow.
and a second steam engine.
After a while, Emperor Qianshan spoke: "Duke Jiang, are your conditions too much? If you say that I can still guarantee it within the territory of Qianshan Kingdom, but there are more than one forces bordering the ice field. How can you guarantee it.
Safe?"
"Haha! The emperor is so humble. As long as you want, our safety will not be a problem! I don't believe anyone who dares to reach out when you see your protection is not a bandit!"
Jiang Xingchen said this very clearly. As long as you send an army, who dares to take action? Isn’t that clear that it is other forces?
"This..." Emperor Qianshan was a little speechless for a while and could not answer.
Jiang Xingchen continued: "I only ask for the road. You don't need to be responsible for the safety of the ice field base. Is this okay?"
Emperor Qianshan fell silent again. He really couldn't bear to let go of two crossbows and two steam engines. But the resources of the Ice Field also attracted him. Once this safety agreement was signed, he couldn't even move, and he had to try his best to protect him and avoid it.
Xuanyuan Tianzong took action.
What he is now considering is which one is more accounting. The transportation team to protect Jiang Xingchen requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and it is also equivalent to losing the mysterious things in the Ice Field...
Jiang Xingchen waited quietly for a while, and when he saw that Emperor Qianshan had no reply, he couldn't help but shake his head, stood up and sighed: "It seems that we can't reach an agreement! The road to the Kingdom of Qianshan is close, but it is not the only one.
At worst, I will take a detour. The Dongxuan Kingdom is not much farther away than you. They should be happy to sign a safety agreement with me!"
"Let's wait!" Emperor Qianshan suddenly reached out and called Jiang Xingchen.
Jiang Xingchen reminded him with his last sentence that if someone detours, he can also sign security agreements with other countries. If other countries send troops to protect him, he will not be able to succeed. Facing the regular army, he will not be able to hide how many people he has to mobilize.
Residence.
Since that's the case, it's better to get the permissions of intermediate users first. In addition, didn't Jiang Xingchen say that his base does not require us to protect, and there are no other opportunities.
"Duke Jiang, it's not that I don't agree, but we have to make it clear that there must be a time limit for your safety agreement. We can't ask us to ensure your safety forever!" said Emperor Qianshan.
"Of course not!" Jiang Xingchen chuckled and said, "Three years, the validity period of this security agreement is only three years!"
"Okay!" When he heard that it was only three years ago, Emperor Qianshan immediately smiled and made a decision to sign with Jiang Xingchen.
"The safety of the Xingchen Leader's transportation team between the Qiankun Empire and the Ice Field Base is the responsibility of the Qianshan Kingdom, and losses of personnel and property occur during this period... As a contribution to the Xingchen Leader, the Xingchen Leader will issue the intermediate user rights to the Qianshan Kingdom, and
Upsell a crossbow and a steam engine…”
The agreement is written in very detailed terms, such as under what circumstances, Qianshan does not need to be responsible for the losses, as if the personnel are sick, or operate errors, etc. In addition, how should the two parties coordinate in special circumstances!
After a whole afternoon, Jiang Xingchen and Emperor Qianshan signed their own name on the draft agreement and stamped their own seal.
Then the two of them laughed and spoke happily. No one could tell that they were actually enemies of life and death. Emperor Qianshan wanted to slice Jiang Xingchen in his heart.
After the matter was completed successfully, Jiang Xingchen got up and said goodbye without staying in the palace for long. It was too tiring to laugh with an opponent in a false way.
As soon as Jiang Xingchen left, Emperor Qianshan's face also sank. Although he obtained two crossbows and steam engines, he could no longer touch the ice field. He felt uncomfortable. Three years have not been long, but Jiang
Xingchen said that there must be a reason for this time. If he didn't do it well, he would have transported everything away after three years!
"Emperor!" At some point, the Prime Minister appeared behind him and whispered.
"Prime Minister, do you think we are losing again when we sign this security agreement?" Emperor Qianshan said in a deep voice without looking back.
"How could we lose!" The prime minister smiled: "We obtained the crossbows three years ago, so we had three more opportunities to study! Moreover, with these two crossbows, there is also a certain deterrence to the surroundings, at least Xuanyuan Tianzong
Don’t dare to have any ideas about us... Those two steam engines are more effective. When used in papermaking, they can definitely significantly increase the output!"
"But there is the Ice Field..." Emperor Qianshan was still unwilling to give up.
"Haha, this is not a problem. Jiang Xingchen himself said, we are only responsible for transportation, we don't care about the safety of the base... Isn't this an opportunity? Now Jiang Xingchen and Tang Tian are not here, and it doesn't matter to us if something happens to their base.
!”
Emperor Qianshan shook his head and said slowly: "You are thinking too simple. Since Jiang Xingchen dared to build a base there, he must have some support. He may have arranged many crossbows and folding crossbows!"
"Your Majesty, this is not better! We don't need a large number of troops to attack, we just need to strait masters to sneak in at night. In this way, the opponent's crossbows and crossbows will lose the threat. If successful, we will have a large number of new weapons!
”
Emperor Qianshan's eyes lit up, and the Prime Minister was so excited. Yes, Jiang Xingchen's base has no masters, how strict the guard can be. Moreover, the snow and snow in the ice field at night can completely cover up the sight. Once inside, the other party
It was just a group of lambs to be slaughtered. Thinking about those weapons, Emperor Qianshan's heartbeat became more and more violent.
At this time, the Prime Minister said again: "Your Majesty, in order to be more confident, I think we should join forces with Xuanyuan Tianzong in secret... Jiang Xingchen has many ideas, so we should also prevent it!"
Although Emperor Qianshan was unwilling to share the crossbows and folded crossbows to others, he thought about it carefully for a while and nodded, "Then I will leave the matters to you about contacting Xuanyuan Tianzong!" (To be continued.)
