I, make my own

Chapter 36 Lost the wife and lost the army

The sixth day of August.

Cuiyin Building.

"Thank you, Mr. Yan, for your help. Lan will remember this kindness in his heart and never dare to forget it!"

Seeing Zhou Xin with his hands behind his back, Zhou Lan cupped his fists and bowed deeply, expressing gratitude.

"No need to thank you, this is just a transaction."

Zhou Xin responded calmly, scanning the bustling pedestrians on the street through the window.

"Even so, Lan is still grateful. After all, Mr. Yan is the only one who is willing to help at such a juncture."

Zhou Lan straightened up, her expression of gratitude remained undiminished.

"By the way, I wonder what kind of remuneration Mr. Yan needs?"

"Simple, [-] sets of mysterious heavy armor and weapons."

Hearing Zhou Xin's understatement, Zhou Lan couldn't help but froze his smile.

Under normal circumstances, the army is equipped with weapons of the sharp weapon level, and only the special units such as Ye Buchao and the elite army will be equipped with a full set of yellow-level weapons.

As for the Xuan level, the only ones equipped with official equipment in the entire Great Zhou were only [-] elites from the Tiqi Guards and the Forbidden Army.

In addition, there are some elite squads of the Jing'an Division, as well as a small number of private soldiers of the powerful.

At the ground level, there is basically no organic equipment, let alone the sky level.

The reason for this is naturally because of cost constraints.

In addition, the cost of different types of weapons of the same level is also very different, such as a full set of light armor and a full set of heavy armor, the cost of the latter may be three times, or even five times that of the former.

Just like the [-] sets of Xuan-level heavy armor and weapons proposed by Zhou Xin, they are of the same grade as the Ti Cavalry Guards.

Such a price is not huge, but scary!

If you want to take something to measure, it is equivalent to one or two years of taxes in Dazhou.

Zhou Lan twitched her cheeks and smiled embarrassingly.

"Young Master Yan, there's no need to make such a joke, right?"

"Are you kidding me? Do you think I have that leisurely mind?"

Zhou Xin's tone became slightly heavier, and he finally turned around.

"In other words, the life of the majestic king is not as good as eight hundred sets of heavy weapons?"

Looking at the cold metal mask on Zhou Xin's face, Zhou Lan's mood also turned cold for a while.

"Young Master Yan, I am no longer a majestic king, I am just a bereaved dog. If we talk about the price before, although the price is very high, I can't afford it."

Zhou Lan was annoyed in her heart, but she could only hold back her teeth and spoke.

"But now, I think you know my situation. All properties have been confiscated, and there is no capital at all."

"Hehe, King Wei, don't mention such nonsense in front of me. Don't say that you have a prime minister behind you. Even if there is no prime minister, for that position, you can't rely on the power of Mrs. Wang and Concubine Qionghan." Save less money."

"That night you made a fuss, and you didn't have time to use some of your foundation, right? Just like arms, I don't believe you haven't accumulated them."

Zhou Xin smiled playfully, his tone was not aggressive at all, but it put a heavy stone on Zhou Lan's heart.

He was a little suspicious right now, and even guessed whether Mr. Yan knew about his secret vault.

Because as the other party said, he did save a thousand sets of Xuan-level heavy weapons, and the time was too tight that night, and he didn't have time to call them...

"King Wei, you have to think about it clearly, is your life more important, or those things outside of you?"

Zhou Lan narrowed his eyes slightly, his face darkened.

"Young Master Yan, are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat. I'm just telling the truth. My Tianjilou is not a good person. If I give something, I will naturally need something in return."

Zhou Xin curled his lips, still in a casual tone.

"King Wei should also know that even if you hid somewhere else, with my Tianji Building's ability, it's not too difficult to find out."

"If any guy under his command is jealous of the huge reward offered by the imperial court and privately discloses the news to Jing'an Division, then I can only say it's a pity..."

Zhou Lan's face suddenly turned darker, and at first glance, it was almost dripping water.

"But having said that, only if the green hills remain, can there be firewood for burning. If King Wei really succeeds in the future and sits in that position, what is a mere [-] sets of military equipment?"

"Weiwang, what do you think?"

Zhou Lan clenched her fists and clenched her teeth. She lowered her head in silence for a while before slowly raising her head.

"Okay! Mr. Yan's condition, I agreed! I also hope that Mr. Yan can keep his promise."

With the situation like this, Zhou Lan could only bow his head.

But he also made a serious note to Mr. Yan in his heart, and he didn't forget the account of the "unintentional words" that the person in Tianjilou said in Baixue Cave before!

If it weren't for that sentence, maybe he wouldn't have said that to his princess, and he wouldn't be in the embarrassing situation he is in today!
"Cheerful! As expected of someone who does great things, this young master really saw it right."

Zhou Xin smiled slightly and sat down on the wicker chair.

"Please rest assured, King Wei. My Tianji Building has its own rules, and I will not do things that have no bottom line. As long as King Wei doesn't kill himself and go out for a stroll, there is a high probability that nothing will happen. Even if something happens, our people will Support the safety of the mighty king."

"That's fine."

Zhou Lan let out a quick breath, his face was like seeing the sun behind the clouds, and he quickly recovered his smile.

"One more thing, Tianji Building released a news about the draft before, why is this? Does Mr. Yan still know the emperor's draft standards?"

"I, Tianjilou, naturally have no way of knowing the selection criteria. After all, the final criteria may only be known to the emperor himself, and he will not tell others."

Zhou Xin stretched out two fingers and shook, then changed his tone.

"However, the Emperor's preferences in women's sex, I have learned something in Tianjilou. As the saying goes, if we can arrange it according to this, the success rate will at least be much higher."

"Oh?"

Zhou Lan's eyes lit up immediately, but his eyes suddenly became vigilant.

"I don't know how much it will cost to obtain this information?"

"Leaving aside the price, I am a little confused about another matter. I wonder if King Wei can clarify it?"

After bringing the topic into his own track, Zhou Xin feinted again and walked away.

Zhou Lan was a little depressed, but she could only continue following the other party's words.

"I don't know why Mr. Yan is confused?"

"Why doesn't King Wei ask my Tianji Building about Princess Wei's situation?"

Zhou Lan's eyes were fixed, and after two breaths of silence, he smiled lightly.

"A man should put his family and country at the top of his list. How can he be burdened by his children's love? Besides, the salary of Tianjilou is too high, and it is a critical time and a time when money is shy, so he dare not be distracted by inquiries."

In Zhou Lan's heart, what happened to Wang Xihe that night was the greatest insult to him. He wished that Wang Xihe had already died in the chaos...

"So that's the case, I really deserve to be the King of Prestige..."

Zhou Xin let out a light oh and sighed inexplicably, and then returned to the topic.

"I heard that King Wei is a master of Danqing, and he can draw a white crane with his eyes closed, and Princess Wei is also a first-class beauty. This young master is quite fascinated by her, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance to see her."

"King Wei just asked the price. If the price is for King Wei to personally draw a portrait of Concubine Wei's wonderful body for my son's private collection, is King Wei willing?"

Zhou Lan's pupils shrank, and the anger in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.

However, before it broke out, Zhou Xin spoke out again.

"Oh, by the way, I gave King Wei a piece of news for free. Concubine Wei has passed away, and she has also been disfigured. Sigh, what a pity..."

Zhou Lan was stunned for a moment, his eyes alternately sad and joyful.

After a while, Zhou Lan murmured absently.

"Xihe, I'm sorry... Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"

After closing and opening his eyes again, Zhou Lan stared at Zhou Xin expressionlessly.

"Young Master Yan, I accept this deal."

"it is good!"

Zhou Xin clapped his palms in satisfaction, "Since that's the case, then Mr. Ben will first inform King Wei of the news."

"The emperor's preference for beauty tends to be extreme, either extremely pure, or extremely charming, etc. In addition, the emperor most likely likes slim ones. I dare not guarantee the last point, but it should not be much different."

【Ding!You revealed Emperor Zhou's preferences to the outside world, which increased the possibility of Emperor Zhou being assassinated, rebellion points +100]

……

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhou Lan changed his appearance and left, while Zhou Xin stood in front of a portrait that was almost as tall as him and watched quietly.

At the door, Xia Ze stood quietly with his head down. Even if he raised his eyes, he could only see the back of the portrait, but he didn't raise it.

Because he knows what the meaning of Wonderful Body Horizontal Display is, that is not something he can look forward to.

"Squeak~"

With a soft sound, the door of the compartment was pulled open, and two figures walked out from it.

One of these two people is Han Qingxuan, and the other is none other than Princess Wei and Wang Xihe...

At this moment, Wang Xihe's cheeks were pale, his eyes were dull, and his whole body looked muddled.

Han Qingxuan felt a little sympathetic, but didn't dare to say anything.

When he came to Zhou Xin with Wang Xihe's arm, he glanced at the contents of the portrait, his face flushed instantly with shame, and he quickly lowered his head.

As for Wang Xihe, his slack pupils converged a little, his pale cheeks became sickly red, and there was a bit of anger in his eyes.

But this anger was finally replaced by sadness, and after a few tremblings with dry lips, he was unable to say anything.

"It seems that your life is not very good. Today, Mr. Ben wanted to return you to King Wei, and let him take you back. It's a pity..."

After an embarrassing silence, Zhou Xin sighed softly while continuing to scan the portrait without any scruples.

Wang Xihe smiled desolately, and there was a bit of mockery in the smile.

"Mr. Yan is really a good person. You single-handedly contributed to today's ending, but you still have to pretend. Heh..."

"As you wish."

Facing Wang Xihe's sarcasm, Zhou Xin didn't care. After all, his current status is that of the omniscient Young Master Yan, not the emperor.

"At least, my son helped you see your position in his heart, didn't he? Even without all of this, he can sacrifice you for other things at any time in the future."

Wang Xihe bit his lip, and stared at Zhou Xin with complicated eyes.

"why?"

"They're too slow. I didn't come here for sightseeing, so I don't have much time to waste. Since there is an opportunity, I am naturally willing to give it a go."

"Then what does Mr. Yan mean by arranging today's scene?"

"What do you say?"

Zhou Xin finally turned his head to look at Wang Xihe with playful eyes.

There are many reasons for him to arrange these, one of which is: Wang Xihe's father is a wealthy man of the Zhou Dynasty...
