Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 128 Chapter 132

"Hehe! You heard what we said just now! I won't hide it from you, we are here for those flood dragons!
These things may be a harm to you, but to us Tang people, they are rare treasures!

I don't have many people here, and it's not easy to deal with that Jiaowang, so I just need your assistance!

Of course, I will not let you work in vain!You go back and prepare more ropes and cages, except for that dragon king, I will live for all the other white dragons!A two-headed farm ox plus a set of iron tools and cotton clothes!
In addition, you should prepare more fishing nets. If those things want to catch alive, fishing nets are undoubtedly the best thing to use! "

Hearing the village master's request, Zuo Ming smiled and nodded.

What he was waiting for was for the village master to come to beg him, otherwise, it would be really difficult for him to order them.

Hearing that Zongjiaolong can exchange two cattle and Yiying's special agricultural tools, the village owner and the old man suddenly took a deep breath.

"Master Hou is serious!?"

Even though they knew that Zuo Ming was rich, the two couldn't help but ask together.

They don't know how many flood dragons there are in the swamp, but there must be three hundred dragons, one and two cattle, three hundred is six hundred!Coupled with some iron farm tools and cotton clothes, how much wealth should this be?
"Benhou never jokes when he speaks! Shen Ding, you immediately take my token to Jiaozhou and hand it over to the Governor of Jiaozhou, and ask him to quickly prepare a thousand cattle, a batch of ironware and cotton cloth for me! All expenses , let him send someone to my Zuojia Chamber of Commerce to withdraw double! Oh! By the way! I forgot to ask the village owner, what is the name of your village?"

Being rich is self-willed, Zuo Ming raised his chin proudly, and then handed his gold medal to Shen Dingdao, but he turned to the village owner again halfway through the speech.

"The Red River Water Village! We call it the Red River Water Village!"

The village owner hurriedly said excitedly.

"Hmm! Honghe Water Village! Remember this name, tell the governor that we are in Honghe Water Village, and ask them to send some cages and iron chains in the shortest possible time! If they want to earn some extra money, they can also get some people to come over. , responsible for transporting the dragons! As for the reward, this Marquis will not treat them badly!"

After nodding his head, Zuo Ming said to Shen Ding.

"Hou Ye! From my perspective, there is no need to send people over here! What our Tang Mo Department lacks most is people! As for cages and iron chains, don't worry, I promise I can get them all for you!"

However, after hearing this, before Shen Ding agreed, the village owner quickly spoke.

Just kidding, with such a good opportunity to make a fortune, how could he let those Tang people step in to share the profits?He will eat it even if he tries his best!

"Lord Hou! Although we only have more than 40 people at the edge of the screen, we still have some fishing nets! If there is not enough manpower, we can also help!"

At this time, seeing that there was oil and water to be fished, the old man immediately spoke up.

Seeing that he wanted to intervene, the head of the Red River Village immediately turned dark, "What can a forty or so people accomplish? You are not afraid that they will all be eaten by Jiaolong? My Red River Village has a lot of fishing nets! Even if it is not enough, I can make it up and use it now." I don't need your help!"

"Villager! You have heard too much of Zuo Hou's story of 'a snake swallows an elephant without a heart'! Are you going to be that snake that swallowed an elephant?"

Hearing this, the old man smiled coldly.

It's strange to say that the old man was scared to death when he saw those crocodiles before, but now where can he see the slightest fear?
Really echoed the old saying - people make money and birds die for food!
"Okay! Okay! Don't quarrel! If you want to make money, are you afraid you won't have a chance? This dragon is just the first sale! The real big deal is still on the Dragon God and the Flood King!

These two monsters are destined to be married!Lord of the Red River village, if you think you can eat these two monsters with just one water village, I'm up to you! "

With a cold smile, Zuo Ming interrupted the two who were fighting like cocks, and Zuo Ming said mockingly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the Red River village master gritted his teeth and responded, "As long as the price is reasonable, we will sell the lives of more than 200 people in our village to Lord Hou!"

"Price? If that white flood dragon king can be captured alive, I will give you 100 catties of grain, [-] cattle, plus [-] bolts of silk cloth and [-] bolts of cotton cloth! In addition, I will give you [-] yuan for every one of you who dies." The compensation fee of two silver! As for the Dragon God, it is probably difficult to capture it alive, but as long as it is killed, I will give you double the price equivalent to the living dragon king! Of course, the compensation fee does not fall within this 'double' range within!"

With a cold smile, Zuo Ming said jokingly, "It's just that you have to think clearly, even if you get such a fortune, whether you can keep it or not is another matter!"

However, Zuo Ming still underestimated the greediness of the Red River village head and the Pingbian elders.

After listening to Zuo Ming's words, they almost simultaneously asked a question that even Zuo Ming hadn't thought of.

"Then what if we capture the Dragon God alive! How much are you prepared to pay?"

"Do you really dare to say that? You didn't even have the courage to challenge before, and now you want to capture him alive!"

Zuo Ming really couldn't stand these two people anymore, so he said mockingly.

"Good job! If you can catch the living ones, I will give you [-] catties of grain, [-] head of cattle, and [-] pieces of iron such as axes or sickles!"

But at this time, Li Zhi spoke inappropriately.It really made Zuo Ming quite speechless.

After listening to Li Zhi's words, the Red River Walled Master and the old man almost forgot to breathe, and only looked at Zuo Ming inquiringly after a long time.

Without Zuo Ming's nod, they really didn't know what to do.

"What are you looking at me for? Whoever promised to go to you!"

Zuo Ming was quite displeased with Li Zhi's self-assessment, but he was happy to speak up, but he was the one who paid in the end.

"master!"

Li Zhi, the kid, immediately came up with his unique trick - acting like a baby!
This is what Zuo Ming can't bear the most. In his eyes, acting like a baby is the exclusive property of girls. Even if a boy is only eight years old, he still thinks acting like a baby is a shameful thing.

Because he couldn't stand it, Zuo Ming had no choice but to surrender, "Stop, stop, stop! I promise! If you can really capture the Dragon God alive, I will pay you according to the price he said!"

Seeing Zuo Ming's consent, the happiest person was not Li Zhi, but the Red River village master and the old man at the edge of the screen.

"Aren't you overjoyed too early? Don't you know how fierce the Dragon God is? Whether you can kill him or not is another matter. Capture him alive? Hehe! Do you really dare to think about it?"

Can't see them like this, Zuo Ming mocked coldly.

"Lord Hou! You don't know, there is a poisonous toad in the land of the six edicts. Although the toxin is not fatal, it has a strong paralyzing effect. When hunting, we will wipe some on bows and arrows or spears !
If you really want to deal with the Dragon God, you might be able to paralyze it before killing it! "

The Red River village master blushed and said.

"There is such a thing, why didn't you use it to deal with it before?"

Hearing that there was such an anesthetic, Zuo Ming was also overjoyed, but asked curiously.

"How could it not have been used? When we besieged the Dragon God at the edge of the screen, we used poisoned weapons. In addition to the paralyzing poison, we even used the poison of the viper! But the Dragon God's resistance The poison is too powerful, and it comes and goes like the wind, one blow kills one person, and we lost more than 50 lives in the end, but we couldn't kill it, but let it eat a lot of people! Sigh."

A look of sadness flashed in the old man's eyes and he sighed.

"I know that too! It seems that you started worshiping the Dragon God from that day on. In fact, now that I think about it, those warriors died unjustly! If the Marquis came sooner, we would have known that the flames could disturb the Dragon God's sight. , they wouldn't make such a worthless sacrifice!"

Hearing these words, the village master of Honghe, who had always been at odds with the old man, also sighed deeply.But then, he lifted his spirits and continued, "But it's different now! Later, I will contact the Jinping Department in the northwest. With the combined efforts of the three departments, and the advice of Master Hou, we will definitely be able to kill it!"

"Hey! Still decided to find foreign aid?"

Hearing that the Red River village master finally let go, Zuo Ming said jokingly.

With an embarrassing smile, the head of the Honghe village scratched his head in embarrassment, "Although the Jinping tribe belongs to the Hemanwang tribe, it is quite close to our Honghe tribe. It’s just putting on airs and fooling around. Speaking of which, the current Jinping clan chief is my nephew!”

This time, not only Zuo Ming them, but also the expression of the old man at the side of the screen became strange.

"I said, why do you two act like nothing happened after every battle between the king's department! I never thought you would play this way!"

The old man was quite speechless.

"Hey! The fights are just for some land! You may not even be able to defend your own land, so why do you need such a large territory? Please keep this matter a secret, otherwise, we and the Jinping Department will have nothing to do with it." It's about to suffer!"

Sighing deeply, the Red River Village Master said helplessly.

"Isn't it? It's not been a year or two since the dragon god and the flood king have been raging, and no one from the king's department has come to solve it. Sigh! Don't worry! The old man is not a talkative person! You can go to Jinping's department with peace of mind People! More people, we can sacrifice fewer people!"

It is rare for the old man to understand righteousness once.

"Shen Ding, go and come back quickly! Remember, you need as many chains and cages as you want. If you can't transport them all at once, you can transport them multiple times."

Seeing that the Red River village master finally decided to seek foreign aid, Zuo Ming stopped talking and turned to Shen Dingdao.

"Your Majesty, don't worry! With your gold medal, the governor of Jiaozhou will not dare to neglect! Maybe he will send a team of government soldiers over!"

Shen Ding said confidently.

"There is no need for the government soldiers. If too many people come, it will easily attract the attention of the ministries of the Six Edicts and Linyi. Tell the governor of Jiaozhou that even if you want to send people over, there should not be more than 100 people!"

After pondering for a while, Zuo Ming said.

If he was the only one here, he wouldn't mind getting more people, but if Li Zhi and Li Yin were also there, he decided to keep a low profile.
