Huo Lin sneered indifferently: "Hahaha, how can you say it is despicable? My king just wanted to record the shadow of King Huainan, so that he can see things and miss people in the future!"
Xia Chunqiu was so angry that her old teeth grinded into her mouth and made a "rattling" sound.
If Xia Yuanlong was really allowed to see him visiting Tai Kou's palace alone, coupled with the secret messages exchanged, the King of Daxia would definitely go crazy.
At that time, the emperor only needs to disclose the contents of the photo crystal and the letter to the public, first punish Xia Chunqiu for colluding with the enemy and plotting rebellion, and then launch a crusade. King Huainan will really be in danger.
Even in this world where the strong are respected, when sending out troops to fight, it is important to obey the destiny and obey the destiny.
By using reason to defeat unreason, the people of the country will often return to their hearts, the soldiers will use their lives, and the morale of the opponent will have been greatly defeated.
It is precisely because of this that King Huainan wooed Chen Jinyang from the General's Mansion, so that after Chen Zangfeng's death, he would come forward to speak on behalf of the Chen family, distorting the facts and saying: "The general who has been loyal and good for generations is the one who was killed.
Xia Yuanlong was murdered by this foolish king."
Relying on Chen Zangfeng's prestige among the military and civilians, once rumors spread, the military will be unstable and the morale of the military will be shaken.
At that time, Xia Chunqiu will raise troops again, and in the name of being loyal to the country and slaying the ignorant king, they can legitimately lead their troops as far as the capital of Great Xia.
At that time, many of Chen Zangfeng's old troops may not have even waited for the war to begin before they opened the city gates and surrendered to King Huainan with the intention of avenging their former master...
In this way, great things can be accomplished.
But now, Huo Lin tightly strangled Xia Chunqiu's lifeline.
Once the King of Great Xia saw the image in the shadow crystal, all his arrangements were in vain, and the righteousness of the military use turned to Xia Yuanlong's side.
For King Huainan, this was tantamount to a disaster!
Xia Chunqiu took several deep breaths and finally covered up the anger on his face. He only said in a cold voice: "The Lord Tai Kou really has a good trick."
"Want me to compensate? Fine! Let him use those secret messages and image crystals in exchange."
Fortunately, in this other world, there is no technology to reproduce the image in the recording crystal, otherwise Xia Chunqiu would not be at ease even if he got the "negative" back.
Moreover, there is only one leader in the Taikou Kingdom who has a higher level of cultivation than King Huainan. Even if he grafts Gu insects to record the video, he can only control one at most, so there is no need to worry about the rest of the hidden treasures.
After hearing what the other party said, Huo Lin nodded proudly, and immediately sat back down. He grabbed a piece of steamed Luo fish meat from the next table and stuffed it into his mouth. He said vaguely: "This is natural. Wait until Huo comes back."
Taikoo Mianjun, when you come again, you will definitely bring the photo crystal and the secret message as well."
"But I can't go back empty-handed, right?"
Xia Chunqiu's eyes twitched: "Then what do you want?"
Huo Lin picked out a fish bone from the fish meat, picked his teeth carelessly, and said: "You must get at least half of the compensation first, and let me, the king, see your sincerity before you speak!"
"Our Taikou country is the most fair. With ten Xuanjing heavy cannons and so many brothers killed and injured, the total is 700 billion. As an ally and a person who provides advice, you are responsible for most of it, which is 500 billion. Take out the first
Give me 250 billion to bring back the Taikoo!"
Xia Chunqiu narrowed his eyes: "Huh, you didn't even see the shadow of the shadow crystal, so you asked me to pay half of it in advance? How could there be any sense in this? If you make a mistake, wouldn't all my money be wasted? Don't follow me.
I, the king, will not break your promise if you are a great nation!"
"The king of a country can do such dirty things as taking secret photos. How can he still have the nerve to say anything about it?"
Huo Lin knew that the old guy was angry, so he didn't argue with him. Anyway, it was true that he could gain benefits.
He did not express his position, but King Huainan still had something to say: "Furthermore, when you said 800 billion, did you mean 800 billion? I haven't seen those ten Xuanjing heavy cannons, so I can't count them! I can't count the corpses."
I only saw two thousand tools."
"Let's do this. The total compensation is calculated as 300 billion, and I will take the lion's share, 200 billion. This time you return to Taikoo, and I will give you 50 billion to clear the way."
"When will you bring the photo crystal and secret message to me, and then settle the remaining 150 billion."
At the end of the day, he did not forget to add one sentence at a time: "This is the greatest sincerity I can show to my allies!"
Huo Lin immediately sneered and said: "Haha, you should bear the main responsibility for the tragedy on the isolated island. Now the total compensation is only 200 billion? And you want me to take only 50 billion back? Are you sending away beggars?"
While speaking, Huo Lin Xuan Neng was at full power, displaying a posture of risking his life.
This time, King Huainan did not give in.
He stood up abruptly, and the pressure of the Six-Star Xuan King came out. He glared at Huo Lin under his seat with piercing eyes, and said unhurriedly: "If we can agree, let's talk. If we can't agree, we will fight!"
"So what if you, the traitor, send someone to deliver the photo crystal to Xia Yuanlong? The worst is, I will kill you and deny it. It doesn't matter if Xia Yuanlong doesn't believe it, I will prove it with actual actions!"
"I will use all my Huainan army to fight to the death with you Tai Ke!"
"You... ok, ok, King Huainan is really hard-core!" Huo Lin raised three fingers with gritted teeth: "Three hundred billion. I want a total compensation of 300 billion, and I will bring back 100 billion this time.
number."
"If you still feel that something is wrong, then let's go to war! Today, I, Huo Lin, will sacrifice the flag for your Huainan Mansion army. The next day, when I, the Taikou army, invade the territory, I will certainly fill your palace with you to bury me with you!"
As soon as this statement came out, the two sides were in a stalemate again.
The whole place was silent, except for the gentle sound of the breeze blowing on the lake.
After a full ten breaths, Xia Chunqiu nodded fiercely: "Okay, it's a deal!"
Unless absolutely necessary, this old guy doesn't want to take the path of "rebellion".
His ambition could not allow him to bow to Xia Yuanlong again because of an accident when he had planned everything...
The price dropped from 500 billion to 300 billion, which is barely acceptable.
As a result, Xia Yuanlong's six-star Xuanwang's power was completely absorbed into his body. Everyone else also followed suit and put away their weapons.
Huo Lin said again: "The two countries have different paths. I'm not interested in your banknotes from Daxia. It's either real gold and silver, or the Five Elements Spiritual Stone, or even worse, it has to be a mysterious crystal material."
"Huh, that's natural."
Xia Chunqiu snorted, and then said with a teasing look on his face: "However, your Space Mysterious Ring is gone, so you have to buy another ring to ship it back, right? I will not pay this money for you."
Huo Lin clearly knew that the other party was angry with him, but he had nothing to say. In his heart, he had already brought up all the eighteen generations of Tianqi Pavilion Master's ancestors and cursed them, vowing to make the other party pay the price!
On his face, he said with a cold face: "The King of Huai'an is good at making sarcastic remarks, why don't you take Huo to inspect the goods quickly?"
