160. You are stupid and have a lot of money. What do you need for it?
Zhou Shu did not say what he wanted, but instead asked Mu Zhixing how much he could give.
Mu Zhixing cursed the old fox in his heart, this Prince Zhou is really getting more and more difficult to deal with.
If he doesn't say what he wants, he'll just ask for the price.
What can you give?
I want to take away the book of life and death without giving anything, are you willing?
I said how much I can give and you are satisfied?
Mu Zhixing rolled his eyes in his heart, not asking for a price is the most expensive price.
If the price he offers is too low, he is not sincere.
He didn't know what Zhou Shu expected at all, so to be on the safe side, he could only offer a high price.
No matter what, it was Mu Zhixing who suffered the loss!
Damn it, since he’s not dead, why didn’t he go back to his ancestral homeland instead of coming to Zhu Rongtian!
Doesn’t he know that the ancestral land is now in chaos?
Just come to Zhu Rongtian, do you have to be right with me?
Zhu Rongtian has so many treasures, why do you have to keep an eye on this book of life and death?
It's not of much use if you want the Book of Life and Death. Aren't you a weapon maker? You can just forge the magic weapons yourself.
Mu Zhixing complained crazily in his heart, but he also knew very well that he had no other choice.
The Book of Life and Death has fallen into Zhou Shu's hands. If he wants the Book of Life and Death, he can only satisfy Zhou Shu.
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi."
Mu Zhixing sighed in his heart, thinking that he had taken a big advantage in Guanghan Palace...
This time, I’m going to suffer a loss...
"Well, actually, Lord Zhou, I don't want the Book of Life and Death, I just want to borrow it."
Mu Zhixing said with a confused look, "How about I rent the book of life and death?"
"Rent?"
Zhou Shu smiled, "What kind of rent do you want?"
"Prince Zhou, please lend me the Book of Life and Death for one year, and I will lend you one hundred thousand Ju Mangtian's elite soldiers! After one year, I will return the Book of Life and Death to you, and then you will return me one hundred thousand Ju Mangtian's elite soldiers.
How?"
Mu Zhixing gritted his teeth and said.
"One hundred thousand sentences of Mangtian elite soldiers?"
Zhou Shu smiled half-heartedly, "You Ju Mangtian are really strong enough."
"But what do I need the hundred thousand elite soldiers of Jumangtian? Xuanmingtian has been destroyed, and my soldiers are useless."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Mu Zhixing muttered.
"Huh?"
Zhou Shu frowned.
"What I mean is that although you defeated the Black Emperor of Xuanmingtian, there are still many stragglers in Xuanmingtian. Prince Zhou, you still need a lot of manpower if you want to completely occupy Xuanmingtian."
Mu Zhixing said.
"No need."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "I don't lack manpower. Let's try another method."
Xuan Mingtian has been defeated, what does Zhou Shu want to do with the army of 100,000 Jumangtian?
He doesn't want to invade other days.
Besides, one hundred thousand Jumangtian's army went to the ancestral land for a year, and he had to feed them, and Jumangtian had nothing to lose. Mu Zhixing was trying to gain nothing.
Mu Zhixing thought too much about taking advantage of Zhou Shu.
"Prince Zhou, how about you make a price?"
Mu Zhixing smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't think of anything that you don't have in me."
"Prince Zhou, you don't care about anything I can get my hands on."
"You are a being who can kill even Xuanming Tianhei Emperor. I, Mu Zhixing, am a lowly person. What good things can I come up with?"
Mu Zhixing belittled himself and kept giving Zhou Shu a high hat.
Zhou Shu seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Until now, couldn't he still see that Mu Zhixing was definitely not an ordinary person?
If he were just an ordinary Jumangtian vanguard general, he could easily mobilize tens of thousands of Jumangtian troops?
Whether it was Lin Kedi's 10,000-strong army at the beginning, or Mu Letian's 60,000-strong army later, they were all personally sent to the human race by Jumangtian's emperor.
How can a Jumangtian's pioneer general make Jumangtian Emperor do these things?
It's impossible, okay.
And now when he opens his mouth, there is another hundred thousand troops. Is this the tone that a small pioneer general should have?
Why is he a lowly person?
Zhou Shu felt that compared to Mu Zhixing, he, Zhou Shu, was a low-ranking person.
This time, if he doesn’t make a fortune from Mu Zhixing, then Zhou Shu has no ability!
"Mu Zhixing, this is not the first day we have met."
Zhou Shu said with a smile but not a smile, "You don't have to pretend to be poor in front of me. It's business. It doesn't matter if you can't agree on the price. If you don't agree on the price, you won't be benevolent and righteous..."
"Don't."
Mu Zhixing said quickly, "I didn't mean that, Prince Zhou, I am really sincere. I really want to borrow the Book of Life and Death."
"How about this, one hundred thousand kilograms of materials for making soldiers?"
Mu Zhixing said.
"The Book of Life and Death is an artifact born from heaven and earth. It can reverse life and death, the living dead, and flesh and bones."
Zhou Shu said leisurely, "Such a magical weapon, what would it cost to use it once?"
"Is Lord Taiyin Star's life worth only 100,000 catties of materials for making soldiers? Mu Zhixing, are you underestimating me, or Lord Taiyin Star?"
Zhou Shu
Looking at Mu Zhixing, he looked disdainful.
Mu Zhixing's expression collapsed, he really couldn't hide it from Zhou Shu.
However, Zhou Shu had personally experienced what happened in Guanghan Palace before, and he took away the body of Lord Taiyin Star in front of him.
As long as Zhou Shu is not a fool, he will definitely be able to connect the two.
What's more, Wu Gang followed Zhou Shu for a while, who knows what Wu Gang told him.
It seems impossible to hide it from Zhou Shu.
Then we can only talk openly.
"Prince Zhou, now that we've said it, let's open up the sky and speak openly."
Mu Zhixing said seriously, "The Book of Life and Death is indeed very important to me. I can pay some price for the Book of Life and Death."
"However, it doesn't mean that without the book of life and death, I will definitely not be able to do what I want to do."
"So, Prince Zhou, if you think that I have to live and die, that's not right."
"Of course, I am saying this because I want to have an honest talk with you, Prince Zhou. I am willing to sincerely borrow the book of life and death for one year. How about you give me a fair price, Prince Zhou?"
Mu Zhixing looked sincere.
As soon as he finished speaking, a distant roar sounded.
The two of them looked in that direction at the same time, where Wu Gang was still fighting with the masters of the Dong family.
It seems that the masters of the Dong family can't stop Wu Gang from going crazy. The sound of fighting is getting closer and closer to them.
"Let's deal with the matter at hand first, and then we'll talk."
Zhou Shu said, "You first act with me in a play."
As soon as Zhou Shu finished speaking, he saw strips of light formed by the Dong family's formation, like ropes, tying up Mu Zhixing.
Mu Zhixing understood, he did not struggle and allowed himself to be tied into a rice dumpling.
He is a smart man, and he already understood Zhou Shu's plan in an instant.
Isn’t it just to fool those idiots from the Dong family?
This is what Mu Zhi Xing is good at!
"Prince Zhou, Wu Gang is crazy. He has nothing but the book of life and death in his eyes. He doesn't know how to cooperate..."
Mu Zhixing reminded Zhou Shudao in a low voice.
Zhou Shu nodded, he had already expected it.
When he killed Emperor Xuanming Tianhei, he paid such a high price, how could Wu Gang not pay the price?
Back then, he even had his head chopped off by Xuan Ming Tian Hei Emperor.
Although Zhou Shu didn't know how Wu Gang survived, it is conceivable that the price he paid would not be too small.
It’s just crazy, but it’s already much better than Zhou Shu thought.
"In that case, use the book of life and death to make him obey."
Zhou Shu said and walked forward.
Mu Zhixing was tied into a rice dumpling and could not move at all. He could only watch Zhou Shu walking forward.
"What a good thug. It's a pity that I took advantage of you."
Mu Zhixing whispered.
Wu Gang, this lunatic, is frighteningly powerful and easy to deceive. Mu Zhixing did a lot of things by using Wu Gang.
But I’m afraid I won’t have a chance in the future.
……
"Boom——"
Wu Gang's hair is hairy and miserable.
His whole body was covered in blood, with several wounds and even bones visible.
With such an injury, if it had been anyone else, he would have lost his fighting ability.
But when he struck out with his axe, he still sent all the Dong family masters flying away.
"Master!"
Just when the masters of the Dong family were about to grit their teeth and go forward again, they saw Zhou Shu's figure and stepped forward.
"Waste!"
Zhou Shu snorted coldly.
All the masters of the Dong family lowered their heads with shame on their faces.
There are so many of them, but the assassins rushed here and alerted the head of the family. It's embarrassing.
"Step aside, I will deal with this person myself."
Zhou Shu said coldly with a gloomy face.
"Yes, head of the family."
Everyone said one after another.
"Master, be careful, this person is very powerful."
Dong Tailai couldn't help but remind him.
Zhou Shu didn't pay attention to him at all, but raised his hand, and the Book of Life and Death appeared on his hand.
Wu Gang's pupils suddenly shot out a look that looked like reality. He stared at the book of life and death in Zhou Shu's hand and rushed forward without hesitation.
"Boom——"
A beam of light fell from the sky, blocking Wu Gang's figure.
Wu Gang's strength at this time is much stronger than when he fought against Xuanming Tianhei Emperor. Now he is truly comparable to the emperor.
With such strength, he was actually blocked by the Dong family's formation.
The person who originally arranged the Dong family's formation was not an ordinary person.
It's a pity that the ancestors are heroes, but the descendants are useless.
Today's Dong family doesn't even have anyone who can fight.
The head of the Dong family died at the hands of Zhou Shu in an aggrieved manner.
If the ancestor of the Dong family who originally arranged this Dong family formation knew about this, he would definitely jump out of the coffin with anger.
"Roar!"
"Life-death-book!"
Wu Gang muttered incomprehensibly and roared like a beast.
He stared at the book of life and death in Zhou Shu's hand, and was about to pounce again.
"Wu Gang, if you want the book of life and death, stop it!"
Zhou Shu said coldly.
His voice was like thunder, causing Wu Gang's movements to freeze suddenly.
"Book of Life and Death—Give it to me!"
Wu Gang actually stopped, his eyes were confused, he stared straight at the book of life and death, and said.
"If you want the book of life and death, just listen to me, otherwise I will destroy it immediately!"
Zhou Shu shouted coldly.
His voice was so penetrating that Wu Gang's whole body trembled
He seems to be really crazy and has no ability to think at all.
"I - obey!"
Wu Gang said vaguely.
The corner of Zhou Shu's mouth raised slightly. Wu Gang's current state was somewhat similar to when Zhou Shu first saw him in Guanghan Palace.
At that time, Wu Gang was also unconscious and attacked people when he saw them.
That time, Zhou Shu used the magic weapon map to calm Wu Gang, and Wu Gang just regained his consciousness.
This time, Zhou Shu did not use the map of divine weapons, but chose to use the Book of Life and Death to induce him.
Sure enough, it works.
Wu Gang suddenly became quiet.
People have weaknesses when they have desires in their hearts.
Even if Wu Gang loses his mind, as long as he wants the Book of Life and Death, he will worry that the Book of Life and Death will be destroyed and someone will lead him around.
Mu Zhixing was like this before, and Zhou Shu is like this now.
Seeing that the head of the family just said a word, the assassin obeyed obediently.
Everyone in the Dong family was shocked. I am indeed the head of the Dong family.
Those who are a little smarter have already figured out that what Zhou Shu is holding is the formation eye of the Dong family's formation.
They secretly guessed that the reason why the assassin acted like this was probably because of the Dong family's formation.
But they are all used to not thinking too much about it. The thought flashes past, and then they all become excited.
"The master of the family is mighty!"
Everyone said.
"Waste!"
Zhou Shu cursed again.
The strong men of the Dong family all looked embarrassed.
Zhou Shu was not unjust when he scolded them. There were so many strong men in the law realm, but they couldn't even stop a crazy Wu Gang!
If the human race were replaced, the same number of Law Realm experts would not be able to stop Wu Gang, even if they fight to death, it would not be impossible.
These strong men of the Dong family have nothing but appearances. Whether it is their fighting spirit or their determination to fight to the death, they are completely incomparable to the human race!
But it doesn’t matter if they are like this, if they are really like the human race, Zhou Shu may not be able to sneak into the Dong family so easily.
"What else do you think you can do?"
Zhou Shu pointed at Dong Tailai and scolded.
"Originally, I had already forged an innate divine weapon, but it was ruined by what you did!"
"One by one, now that I have taken care of the assassins, don't stay idle."
He flicked his sleeves and said, "Go out and find materials for making soldiers."
"You are not allowed to take advantage of others. Keep a low profile. You can find as many weapons-making materials as you can. I want to re-cast the innate magic weapons. Do you understand?"
Zhou Shu scolded with an unhappy look.
All the strong men of the Dong family lowered their heads and muttered yes.
Zhou Shu turned around and walked back to his courtyard with a cold face.
Wu Gang, on the other hand, followed him step by step.
Everyone also saw Zhou Shu casually pick up Mu Zhixing, which was twisted into a rice dumpling by the light, which showed everyone's admiration for the family master.
"As expected of the head of the family, a few clowns suppressed them with backhand."
"With the head of the family here, why worry about our Dong family not being able to prosper?"
"The head of the family has understood the art of forging weapons. We must find more materials for making weapons to support the head of the family in forging weapons!"
"My Dong family is about to prosper."
The faces of all the Dong parents were full of excitement.
……
As soon as the courtyard door closed, Mu Zhixing wanted to speak, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Cao Yue in the room, and his mouth immediately closed.
He is now playing the role of a prisoner.
With his eyes rolling, Mu Zhixing was thinking, should he act more realistically and scold Zhou Shu?
Also take the opportunity to vent your unhappiness?
Before he could speak, he heard Zhou Shu speak.
"He is one of our own, don't worry about him."
"One of our own? Your Majesty is so clever, he even brought someone in."
Mu Zhixing praised.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. Only a person like Mu Zhixing could do this kind of insincere flattery.
"My lord, are you going to trick these fools from the Dong family into helping you collect materials for making soldiers?"
Mu Zhixing's eyes flashed with light and he spoke.
"If that's the case, I don't think the Dong family is a suitable partner."
Mu Zhixing said seriously.
"Oh?"
Zhou Shu was noncommittal.
"Your Majesty, I don't know how much you know about Zhu Rongtian."
Mu Zhixing talked eloquently, "I know Zhu Rongtian very well. Before this, I studied Zhu Rongtian deeply."
"Zhu Rong has nine surnames, and the Dong family is the poorest."
Mu Zhixing said confidently, "In Zhu Rongtian, the Dong family is the poorest, and the area they control is also the poorest. My lord, if you need materials for making soldiers, then I recommend you to go to the Mi family. The Mi family is Zhu Rongjiu."
One of the richest places in the world, more than 60% of the Zhu Rongtian mine alone is in the hands of the Mi family."
Mu Zhixing licked his tongue, looking envious.
"Have you made plans?"
Zhou Shu looked at Mu Zhixing and asked.
Mu Zhixing, this guy, has no limits. He knows so much about these things, is it possible that he has also thought about taking action against the Mi family?
"My lord, what are you talking about?"
Mu Zhixing said sternly, "Am I, Mu Zhixing, that kind of person? Why do I want those things?"
"So what do you mean, I am that kind of person?"
Zhou Shu snorted coldly.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, you are a weapon maker. If the materials for making weapons fall into your hands, you can make the best use of them. It will be much better than wasting it by these idiots like Zhu Rongtian."
Mu Zhixing chuckled.
"Your Majesty, people in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secret stories. As for me, I came to Zhu Rongtian with a purpose, not just a book of life and death."
Mu Zhixing said, "Zhu Rongtian people are stupid and have too much money. If good things are in their hands, it is a waste."
"I reluctantly came to help them."
"In addition to the Book of Life and Death, each of the nine surnames of Zhu Rong has an innate artifact in his hand. I just want to help them make these dusty artifacts reappear in the world."
Zhou Shu: "..."
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.
You plotted to steal someone else’s ancestral treasure and even said you were helping them. Did they agree?
But having said that, this is what Zhou Shu wants.
If Mu Zhixing wasn't so shameless, Zhou Shu wouldn't want to cooperate with him.
"You take the artifact, and I take the materials for making weapons. We both get something."
Zhou Shu pondered, "Now we can talk about it, how much effort can you make?"
"Me?"
Mu Zhixing also became serious and said in deep thought, "I just said, Your Majesty, I know the situation of Zhu Rongtian very well, and I can provide information."
"If you are just providing information, I don't need you."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "Do you think, as the head of the Dong family, I can't find out the information? Since it is cooperation, you must have your value, otherwise, what I can do alone will require you.
