Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 517 The Murder Caused by Liannu

On the palace wall, the swaying arrow feathers have not completely stopped.The lingering sound of violent shaking seemed to be still lingering in everyone's ears.

King Luo Xiting blushed even more. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

There is no crossbow in Rossiting, or in other words, on the entire continent.Not to mention a crossbow like this, which not only has the power and range of a bow, but also can shoot continuously.

Looking at the palace wall as if there were thorns growing on it, even a fool can see the power of this continuous crossbow.

Moreover, Rossiting has been at war with Yardley all year round, as an ambitious monarch.King Rossiting knew a lot about military affairs.

If something like this can be used on the frontier army...

A smile could not help but appear on King Rossiting's face.

"Mr. Messenger, please sell us such a crossbow! The price is easy to negotiate!" King Luo Xiting grabbed Chen Ping's arm and said firmly.

Chen Ping smiled and said, "The cost of such a crossbow is not cheap. Every part needs to be carefully polished. Has His Majesty the King really decided to buy it?"

"Of course!"

The king's tone became a little firmer.Even, many nobles around are ready to move.

Different from the prefecture and county system of the Qin State, on this continent, whether it is the Luoxiting Kingdom or the Yardley, they still implement a system of enfeoffment similar to that of the Zhou Dynasty.

Every nobleman basically has his own territory, and also has his own private army to defend his fiefdom.

If you can own a continuous crossbow like this, even if you can't equip much because of the high price, the benefits you can bring to your private army are still huge.

Chen Ping didn't hesitate when he saw this, he directly stretched out five fingers and said, "Each crossbow, one hundred gold coins!"

Quiet, the nobles who were eager to try, suddenly fell silent like a deflated ball.

Expensive, this is too expensive.

The Rossiting Kingdom is already the richest country on the entire continent, and its annual tax revenue is only about 300 million gold coins.

If you want to equip the continuous crossbow army that has always been like this, you need 10,000+ gold coins for the continuous crossbow alone, and if you count other expenses, it is estimated that one-tenth of the empire's tax revenue will be gone.

"This, Mr. Messenger, isn't the price too expensive?"

Although Chen Ping's quotation made the king a little unacceptable, the huge power of the Liannu still moved his heart, so he could only lick his face and hope that Chen Ping could lower the price a little.

Chen Ping still kept a smile on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, the materials and production of each of these crossbows are extremely complicated. Even the most skilled craftsmen of our Great Qin can only make one at most in a month." .The price is already very kind.”

The king was not in a hurry, but continued to persuade: "However, we still can't afford such a price! If there are no customers, where will your income be?"

As the most affluent country on the mainland, it is obvious that King Rossiting is not ignorant of the way of doing business.

He obviously knows the reason for asking prices all over the sky and paying back the money when he lands.

Sure enough, Chen Ping showed a thoughtful look, obviously hesitating.

"Since this is the case, to be honest, His Majesty the emperor of our country took out these things because he wanted to get enough food to prepare to return to the country.

Gold coins and the like are of little practical significance to us. If Your Majesty wishes, he can exchange grains of equivalent value for Liannu.

If His Majesty the King is willing to exchange grain, we can directly subtract the general price.So, what do you think? "

Chen Ping's words made the king's eyes light up.However, immediately there was still a hint of embarrassment.

"Mr. Messenger, although Luo Xiting has the most fertile land on the mainland, and the grain output is sufficient, the abyss is far away from us after all, and the consumption in the middle may be huge! Moreover, there is an Asian land in the middle." Deli, you must know that our relationship with Yardley is not harmonious..."

Chen Ping smiled when he heard that, then shook his head and said: "In this case, we can't sell this crossbow to Your Majesty. However, Your Majesty reminded me. Maybe Yardley is also interested in it. "

Chen Ping's words made King Luo Xiting's face change.

Today, the border between the two countries is basically at a level, so a fragile peace is maintained.Just a straw may break this peace, not to mention, this Lianbow is not a straw, but a heavy hammer.

In fact, there is a lot of loss in transporting food from Rossiting to the abyss.However, it is impossible to be as huge as he said.

On the entire continent, a dozen or so silver coins are enough for an average commoner's family to spend a month.In addition, Rossiting and Yardley are both rich countries with smooth roads.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to achieve a one-to-one concept of loss when transporting grain from Rossiting to the abyss.All in all, each repeating crossbow was almost ten to twenty gold coins cheaper.

Of course, His Majesty the King also knew about it.However, His Majesty the King, who was used to domineering, saw that someone actually threatened him with an enemy country, and his heart inevitably surged with anger.

"Hmph! Mr. Messenger, don't forget where this is!"

King Rossiting's power in the country is indeed unique.With just a roar, the palace guards who were still watching immediately surrounded him.

Looking at the hundreds of palace guards who quickly surrounded him, Chen Ping sneered disdainfully.

"Mr. Messenger, do you think it's funny?" The king's tone became a little bit colder.

"It's nothing, I just thought of some interesting things about my hometown." Chen Ping said with a smile.

Seeing Chen Ping's relaxed face, the king couldn't help but frowned and said, "What's interesting?"

"Back then, there was a joke in the Qin army. It was a country named Yelang. Before our army arrived, it kept provoking our majesty. wipe out."

"presumptuous!"

Even though the king didn't know which country Yelang was from, he knew he was mocking him.Under the anger, he couldn't help roaring immediately.

However, before he could shout out the next command he wanted to give, a huge coercion suddenly hit him.

"Sword Saint Realm!"

Feeling the tremendous coercion on his body, the king, who also has the strength of a great swordsman, couldn't even breathe.

"Unexpectedly, there is Yelang here..." Chen Ping seemed to be talking to himself, and then waved lightly to the soldiers of the Heaven's End Army.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Heaven's End Army drew their swords from their waists in unison.The strength of the Bone Cutting Realm and the Marrow Refining Realm was fully displayed.

In just a moment, a group of palace guards who were no more than ordinary people fell into a pool of blood without exception.

The lips of many nobles were trembling.No one thought that Chen Ping, who was still polite and aristocratic before, suddenly became a figure of the sword master level that cannot be looked up to.

Seeing that King Luoxiting's face turned red and purple, he was almost dying, but no one dared to intercede.

Who knows if this man with the level of a sword master will kill him in a fit of anger.

"Just follow Mr. Messenger's conditions. I agree on behalf of His Majesty the King."

Finally, Stanley, who was hidden in the crowd like an invisible man, spoke.In the eyes, there is no look of anger at all.
