Chapter 233 Great Qin Workers (1)
“You Marquis, are you serious?” Wang Mu looked at the thick stack of paper Zhou Shu handed him as his expression darkened.
“Great General Wang, do I look like I’m joking?” Zhou Shu said. “This is business. As the saying goes, the seller asks a sky-high price, and the buyer makes a rock-bottom offer. If you think I’m asking a high price, you can bargain. If we really can’t reach an agreement, then Great General Wang, you don’t have to agree to the trade. I can’t possibly force you to trade.”
Wang Mu narrowed his eyes as he stared intently at Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu had a relaxed expression on his face. He had set the price, so the rest was up to Great Qin.!!
If you can’t afford it, don’t block the way.
Perhaps you might be shameless enough to forcefully snatch it from me. But my sword is not to be trifled with.
Seeing Zhou Shu’s expression, Wang Mu grunted heavily.
He had personally seen Zhou Shu make almost everyone in the Great Xia diplomatic mission write down what they wanted.
This was where the dozens of pages came from!
He was simply taking Great Qin to be a fool!
Wang Mu hesitated. Should I use underhanded means to kidnap Zhou Shu back?
But when he saw Meng Bai guarding against him at the side, he temporarily put away this thought.
Meng Bai was also a first-rank expert now. He was completely capable of stopping him temporarily.
In the Great Xia diplomatic mission, there was still a second-rank martial artist and a third-rank martial artist.
If they really fought head-on, defeating the Great Xia diplomatic mission wouldn’t be a problem, but capturing Zhou Shu alive wouldn’t be that easy.
“Very well!” Wang Mu grunted heavily. “Wait a moment!”
Wang Mu turned his horse around and returned to the army.
About an hour later, just as Zhou Shu was getting impatient from waiting, Wang Mu came out from the army once again.
He spurred his horse to the front of the Great Xia diplomatic mission.
“His Majesty has agreed to your conditions!” Wang Mu said in a deep voice. “Everything will be delivered before you leave the borders of Great Qin. You can hand the Iron Smelting Hands Technique to me!”
He agreed? Zhou Shu was somewhat stunned.
Although the Iron Smelting Hands Technique was a peerless divine technique, even Zhou Shu didn’t think it was worth that much money.
When he gave Wang Mu the list earlier, he had no hope that Great Qin would agree.
The Great Xia diplomatic mission had a total of three thousand people. Great Qin agreed to the wish list of three thousand people without batting an eye?
This was equivalent to emptying three thousand shopping carts.
How much would that cost?
Was the Iron Smelting Hands Technique worth that much?
Zhou Shu began to doubt himself. Could it be that I haven’t figured out the value of the Iron Smelting Hands Technique?
“Great General Wang, it’s not that I don’t trust you—” Zhou Shu said.
He found it unbelievable that Great Qin would agree to his conditions.
This was too ridiculous. No matter how rich Great Qin was, did they have to go to this extent?
He suspected that Great Qin was tricking him.
The Great Qin Empire would renege on its debt and not pay after he handed over the Iron Smelting Hands Technique.
According to Great Qin’s style, it was completely possible for them to do such a thing.
The army was already blocking their way. Wasn’t it a piece of cake to renege on the debt?
“I will stay with the Great Xia diplomatic mission as a hostage. You don’t have to worry about Great Qin going back on their word,” Wang Mu interrupted.
“You Marquis, we have shown you our sincerity. Don’t try to challenge Great Qin’s bottom line!” Wang Mu’s voice was full of killing intent.
The earlier they obtained the Iron Smelting Hands Technique, the earlier Xu Shi could start cultivating it. They simply couldn’t wait!
Zhou Shu also sensed the killing intent from Wang Mu. If he provoked him further, he might really go berserk.
“Since Great General Wang has said so, I’ll give you face,” Zhou Shu said.
“Wait,” Meng Bai suddenly said. “Brother Wang, there is no problem handing over the Iron Smelting Hands Technique now, but since you said that you will stay behind as a hostage, we will specify terms clearly at first and use a good deal of courtesy later.
“Brother Wang, please seal your cultivation. If not, it won’t be reassuring to hold a first-rank martial artist as a hostage.”
Meng Bai stared at Wang Mu. If Wang Mu refused, he would stop Zhou Shu from handing over the Iron Smelting Hands Technique.
Wang Mu narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly. “To gauge the heart of a gentleman with one’s own mean measure!”
As he spoke, the spiritual essence on Wang Mu’s body fluctuated violently before it quickly dissipated.
“Excuse me!” Meng Bai was not angry. He took a step forward with a calm expression and tapped Wang Mu a few times, sealing his cultivation completely.
When the three thousand Great Qin elite soldiers saw this scene, anger flashed across their faces. But Wang Mu didn’t say a word, and none of them moved.
The might of the Great Qin army was evident.
Seeing that Wang Mu had really offered himself as a hostage, Zhou Shu said directly, “Great General Wang, I’ll record the cultivation method of the Iron Smelting Hands. Who will you send back to Great Qin’s capital?”
When doing business, one had to be particular. Great Qin had already agreed to his terms. If he continued to refuse, then it wouldn’t be the attitude of doing business.
“Deputy General!” Wang Mu shouted.
Among the 3,000 elite troops of the Great Qin Empire, a robust man walked out from the crowd. “Yes!”
“Do you know what you need to do?” Wang Mu said coldly.
“Even if the three thousand elite soldiers die, we will definitely deliver this back to the capital!” the deputy general said.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. They’re making it sound so grand. This place is only slightly more than a hundred kilometers away from the capital. What danger could there be?
He took the brush and paper from Yin Wuyou and wrote quickly on a horse’s back. Moments later, he finished writing the cultivation technique for the Iron Smelting Hands. He shook it and handed it to Wang Mu.
