But it was laughable for Yin Lan and the others who were beside them. Guankou City was only a small place, seemingly insignificant, but it was actually the gateway between Chuan Country and the safe haven. Whoever controlled this door would be able to grasp the initiative of the other party.
Chuan Country were currently the strongest enemies and were also the only powerful enemies. Selling Guankou City to an enemy was undoubtedly the same as selling one's key to the clan's main gate; in the future, Feng Country would not even be able to sleep soundly.
Everyone looked at Tang Yin, waiting for him to reject him immediately. To everyone's surprise, Tang Yin asked in all seriousness: "I wonder how much does Your Country intend to spend to buy the Guankou City?"
Xiao Xiang smiled and extended three of her fingers. Tang Yin's eyes lit up, and asked: "Thirty million?"
Xiao Xiang could not help but roll her eyes as she cursed in her heart: You really dare to ask too much! She asked: "A small town like this, does Feng King think that it's worth more than 30 million silver taels?"
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and laughed, "Three million?"
Xiao Xiang nodded and said: "That's right! Just three million. However, it just happens to be located between two mountains, and can be considered to be an important location. That's why King Father gave us a sky-high price of three million silvers, and our country does not want the surrounding land. We only want the land known as Guankou City. " When she spoke, her small and exquisite chin was lifted high up, as if she was doing Tang Yin a great favor.
Tang Yin did not immediately reply, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, in deep thought. Using three million to buy Guankou City was indeed not a small amount. Chuan Country was indeed an extravagant amount, it was difficult to refuse when one opened their mouth.
Seeing that he did not speak for a long time, Xiao Xiang asked: What's wrong? Feng King is not satisfied with the amount of three million? "
Tang Yin leaned forward and said with a smile, "You must know that our army has been attacking Guankou City forcefully for these past few days. The casualties are not small and the casualties are extremely great.
Xiao Xiang was clever, she understood what Tang Yin meant immediately. It was not that he did not want to sell the Guankou City, but she wanted to take the opportunity to extort more money from the Chuan Country.
Cursing her shameless scum, she laughed and asked: "Then I wonder how many people will be satisfied with the Feng King?"
Tang Yin spread out his palm and said: "At least five million!"
Xiao Xiang frowned slightly, and asked in reply: "Feng King, don't you feel that you're taking advantage of me by offering such a high price?"
Tang Yin scratched his finger and said casually: "If you count it carefully, the joke that the princess made at the Yujing last time would have caused our army quite a loss. Adding it all together onto the Guankou City, even five million silver might not be enough.
Xiao Xiang's smile froze, following that, she took a deep breath, first trying her best to calm her emotions, then with a smile on her face, she said gently: Alright, let's do as Your Highness has said, five million gold. However, Xiao Xiang still has to inform King Father of this matter, she will need to wait for two days before she can give her reply.
"Good!" This King can wait, and there's no need for the princess to hurry. " Tang Yin said while laughing, he then straightened his body and waved his hands, "Come, send our guests off!"
"Wait a moment." Xiao Xiang stopped the guards who were walking over from both sides and smiled at Tang Yin. She asked: "Feng King does not like Xiao Xiang that much.
Tang Yin was startled, then laughed: "Princess, you mean to say..."
Xiao Xiang smiled gently and said: "Xiao Xiang intends to stay in Your Highness's camp for a few days. Your Highness won't reject your presence, will you?"
Since she had shamelessly said all that, how could Tang Yin reject her? He shook his head and smiled, saying, "The princess is an honorable guest. This king has not even welcomed you yet, so how could you possibly rush outside? "But there's no need to go anywhere else in the military camp, the soldiers are all too used to being rude ?"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xiao Xiang acted as if he was afraid of him refusing and immediately continued: "Your Highness, don't worry. Xiao Xiang will take good care of herself."
Yin Lan could not hold it in anymore and said solemnly: "There is a rule in the army camp: it is forbidden to keep women!"
Xiao Xiang raised her head and looked at Yin Lan. The smile on her face grew wider as she blinked her eyes and asked: "Could it be that Miss Yin Lan is not a woman?" While she was speaking, her gaze shifted down and landed on Yin Lan's full chest.
Her naked-looking, naughty eyes made Yin Lan immediately recall the scene of him being duped by her in the inn. Her jade face immediately flushed red, and her pink fists clenched so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard.
Seeing that, Tang Yin coughed lightly, and said: "Yin Lan, help the princess arrange a place to stay, and send more guards over."
It would be fine if Xiao Xiang didn't come to the Wind Camp, but if something were to happen to her in the Wind Camp, it wouldn't just be a question of how to explain it to Chuan Country, it would also cause her to lose face.
Hearing his words, no matter how much Yin Lan hated and hated Xiao Xiang, she could only grit his teeth and endure it. She intervened and said to Tang Yin, "Yes! Subordinate obeys! "
Yin Lan brought Xiao Xiang and the others out of the Central Army Tent, and just as they left, Xiao Muqing, Zi Ying and the other generals walked in quickly from outside. Everyone gathered in front of Tang Yin and asked in unison: "Great King, is Chuan Country trying to buy Guankou City?"
Presumably, they had already heard the conversation between him and Xiao Xiang outside. Tang Yin slightly nodded, and said as if nothing had happened: "Yes, Chuan Country does have the intention to buy Guankou City."
"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot agree to this!" Xiao Muqing said urgently: "The Guankou City is small, but its position is unique, and hard to come by. Regardless of whether it's us or the Chuan Country, in the future, whoever occupies the Guankou City will have the initiative to attack, retreat, and defend. How can a mere few million silver taels buy it?"
"Yes, my King!" All the generals nodded their heads, indicating that what Xiao Muqing said was not wrong. The strategic value of Guankou City had already far surpassed its own value.
Tang Yin looked at everyone and faintly said: "How could I not know the importance of Guankou City? But, what can we do if we do not accept the conditions set by the Chuan Country? The entire army has been attacking for several days, yet Guankou City is still indestructible. I'm afraid if we continue fighting, my army would not be able to achieve anything, and rather than wasting time, why not throw this hard bone over to Chuan Country and let it have a headache! "
Hearing this, everyone's old face turned red. Didn't the King just admit that her Feng Army was inferior to theirs?
Zi Ying said: "Great King, our army's Trebuchet s are currently in the process of being strengthened. In half a month, we will have completed all of them.
"Fight to the death?" Tang Yin laughed, but mocked as he asked: "When that time comes, are you confident that you will be able to break through Guankou City?"
Qi Heng shook his body and squeezed out from the crowd of generals. He almost squeezed out a sentence from the gaps between his clenched teeth, "Rest assured Great King, when that time comes, even if this lowly general is going to shatter his body, she will definitely break through the defense of Guankou City!"
Shangguan Yuan, Jiang Fan and the rest of the generals said with reddened eyes: "When that happens, I will fight to the death with the enemy to the death. If the city is not destroyed, I will not retreat half a step!"
As long as the Generals s above could risk their lives to fight to the death with the enemy, how could the soldiers below not charge forward bravely?
Hearing that, Tang Yin laughed in his heart, but his face revealed a helpless look, he deliberately sighed, nodded, and said: "Then ? After this battle is over, if my Guankou City still hasn't been broken, I can only sell it to the Chuan Country. "
"Your Majesty, there definitely won't be that day!" All the generals present said in unison.
Tang Yin planned to sell off his Guankou City and successfully make all the generals of the Feng Army nervous. Now, they were no longer fighting to take down this insignificant city, but to preserve their dignity and honor, to prove their strength. In their eyes, these two points were more important than their lives.
After Xiao Xiang stayed in the Wind Camp, she walked around the military camp without any hesitation. She had Chang Feng by her side, a follower of the Spirit realm expert, and the companion of the Guard of Feng Country. She was not afraid that the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army would dare to be rude to her.
She also specifically asked Liu Lie, who was in charge of strengthening the Trebuchet, why did he wrap the Trebuchet up.
Liu Lie did not try to hide anything, and frankly said that he wanted to push the Trebuchet down the walls of the Guankou City, directly attacking the Mayor Palace inside the city.
The person speaking had no intention to do so, but after hearing what the person had to say, Xiao Xiang understood the intentions of the Feng Army. Xiao Xiang took a deep breath, the information on the Feng Army was truly shocking, she had actually discovered the vital points of the Guankou City so quickly, unfortunately, they only knew one thing and did not know the other ?
A few days later, he sent a message back from Chuan Country with a personal letter from King Chuan, expressing her acceptance of Tang Yin's offer, and was willing to pay 5 million silver for the small town that was the pass.
After receiving King Father's letter, Xiao Xiang relaxed and immediately went to Tang Yin's room to collect her debts, wanting to meet with him.
At this moment, Yin Lan was guarding outside the room. Upon hearing the reason why Xiao Xiang had come, the corner of her mouth curled up as she arrogantly said, "The King is already asleep, and has not seen anyone. If the princess has anything to say, she can wait until tomorrow morning!"
The first time they had met, Xiao Xiang had already felt Yin Lan's hostility towards her. Furthermore, it had continued until now, until now.
She rolled her eyes and suddenly said: "Miss Yin Lan likes Feng King, right?"
Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Xiang waved her hand and said, "Miss Yin Lan doesn't need to explain anything to me. Don't worry, I won't take your King away, and I already have someone I love!"
Hearing her words, Yin Lan was stunned, she looked at her in a daze. Xiao Xiang continued: "I do have something urgent to attend to, so I must see the Feng King right now. Miss Yin Lan, you should go inside and let me know!"
