"Then do you know what a thousand hot air balloons and a thousand heavy crossbows mean?"
Tie Shixin said: "Our Zhenyuan Escort Bureau may not even have that many people in total! You are going to empty out our family fortune with just one mouthful. How do you call this sincerity?"
In fact, when Nathan said this, he was still talking like a lion, but he didn't have much idea about hot air balloons and heavy crossbows, so he opened his mouth too wide and burst it.
After hearing Tie Shixin's sarcasm, Nathan realized that he had made a common sense mistake.
In order to avoid making such a mistake again, Nathan asked: "Master Tie, how much support can you give us?"
"Your Majesty said that he can support you with seven hot air balloons, and each hot air balloon is equipped with a heavy crossbow!" Tie Shixin replied.
"Isn't this too little?" Nathan glared.
He also knew that a thousand hot air balloons would definitely be impossible, but he thought that it would not be a big problem to have dozens of hot air balloons, but in the end Dakang only gave seven.
It was so different from his psychological expectations.
"This is the quantity designated by His Majesty. I have no right to change it. If you find it unacceptable, we can end it!"
Before Tie Shixin came to negotiate, he had already received the instructions from the Ninth Princess, so his attitude was extremely tough.
When Nathan saw that Tie Shixin was about to get up, he immediately panicked.
The Goshawk Tribe is taking advantage of the hot air balloon to press forward step by step. The Black Tiger Tribe can hardly hold on anymore. They must find countermeasures as soon as possible. They really can't wait any longer.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tie, I didn't say you couldn't accept it!"
Nathan called Tie Shixin: "Let's sit down and talk slowly!"
"Then let's not talk about the hot air balloon first, and let's talk about our Majesty's request." Tie Shixin said.
"Request?" Nathan frowned slightly.
Before coming here, he was indeed prepared to pay some money to buy the hot air balloon, but after chatting with Jin Feng yesterday and realizing Jin Feng's intentions, Nathan did not want to spend the money.
He saw that Jin Feng didn't want the Goshawk Tribe to pacify the plateau, so he wanted Jin Feng to provide him with free hot air balloons to deal with the Goshawk Tribe.
Now Tie Shixin wants to put forward conditions...
However, the Black Tiger tribe was really eager to get the hot air balloon, so Nathan asked tentatively: "What are your requirements?"
"Our Majesty only made four requests," Tie Shixin said: "First, you need to pay for the purchase of a hot air balloon!"
"How much does one cost?" Nathan asked.
"One thousand taels of silver!" Tie Shixin replied.
This price is very expensive for ordinary people, but it is not stressful for the second largest tribe on the plateau.
The gold that Nathan bribed Li Didi last time was more than enough to pay for the seven hot air balloons this time.
But Nathan did not agree readily. Instead, he looked thoughtful and thought for a while before nodding and agreeing.
"Second point," Tie Shixin saw that Nathan agreed, so he continued: "Wei Laosan, the traitor of our Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, should be in the Goshawk Tribe now. He is the one who made the hot air balloon used by the Goshawk Tribe. Your Majesty
I ask you to find him and send him back to Sichuan!"

Wei Laosan was the first traitor to appear in Xihewan, and he was also the traitor who caused the greatest damage to Xihewan. He has always been a worry for the villagers of Xihewan, many bodyguards, and the senior officials of the Sichuan and Shu regimes.
When Mr. Feng brought a hot air balloon to attack Xihewan, the Ninth Princess knew that he had joined Feng Sheng.
Later, Feng Sheng and Ga Da died in Sichuan and Shu one after another, Wei Laosan lost his support, and there were no hot air balloons on the plateau for a while. The Ninth Princess thought that Wei Laosan died in the battle on the plateau.
Coupled with Jin Feng's airship, the threat of hot air balloons was greatly reduced, and the Ninth Princess did not take Wei Laosan too seriously.
As a result, he jumped out again.
You can tell with your toes that the hot air balloons that appeared in the Goshawk Tribe are closely related to Wei Laosan.
Although hot air balloons are restrained by airships, they still pose certain threats, such as high-altitude reconnaissance and stealth attacks.
Today, there is no radar in Sichuan and Sichuan. Hot air balloons are discovered by naked eyes. If the hot air balloon flies high enough or is covered tightly at night, it will be difficult to detect it from the ground.
Moreover, the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has a limited number of airships, and it is impossible to deploy them in every place. During an operation to capture dead soldiers, the surrounded group of dead soldiers left in a hot air balloon.
Except for the forces under Jin Feng, only Feng Sheng had used a hot air balloon. The escorts did not expect that the Death Squadron would have such a thing, so they were completely unprepared and allowed the opponent to escape smoothly.
If Wei Laosan is not eliminated, it will always be a disaster, but the situation on the plateau is complicated, and it is really difficult to get rid of Wei Laosan on the plateau.
Just when the Ninth Princess had a headache, Nathan came, so this condition came into being.
"Master Tie, you also said that Wei Laosan is in the Goshawk Tribe, and he can make hot air balloons. The Goshawk Tribe will definitely take him very seriously. How can we catch him?" Nathan replied with a troubled face.
And there was something in his heart that he didn't say.
If they can catch Wei Laosan, they can produce hot air balloons themselves. Do they need to ask Sichuan and Shu for help?
But he gave up the idea the next second.
He could see the Ninth Princess's determination to get rid of Wei Laosan.
Gada used a hot air balloon made by Wei Laosan, but Gada died and the tribe was gone.
The Goshawk tribe now uses a hot air balloon and is targeted by Jin Feng again.
The Black Tiger Tribe does not want to provoke Jin Feng again.
"Master Li Didi said that he fought against the Goshawk Tribe's hot air balloon flight team on his way back. You must have seen that our hot air balloons are much more advanced than the Goshawk Tribe's. We will provide you with hot air balloons. If you still can't defeat them,
Goshawk tribe, if you capture Wei Laosan, it proves that you are not capable enough, and we have to consider changing our cooperation partner!"
Tie Shixin's attitude remained firm: "By the way, these are our Majesty's exact words!"
Nathan gritted his teeth and replied: "If we defeat the Goshawk tribe, we will try our best to find Wei Laosan! Master Tie, please tell me other conditions!"
"I hope you will do what you say, otherwise our Majesty's anger will definitely be a hundred times more terrifying than that of the Goshawk Tribe!"
Tie Shixin reminded, and then continued: "The third point, our Majesty requires your king to marry his seventh daughter to our master, and to have his fourth son and sixth son come to see him in marriage!"
"Impossible!" Nathan stood up directly.
They could accept one thousand taels per hot air balloon and let the seventh princess marry Jin Feng. Although Nathan was unhappy, he
