No wonder Tang Xinyi was so angry. If the same thing happened to others, it would be even more intense. Over the years, in order to curb the princess's power, Qiu Wanli had almost gone to any lengths to suppress Feng Xiangwei. The soldiers of Fengxiang Guard have not received military pay for at least half a year. Even though Princess Baidie lowered her face to beg, Qiu Wanli still looked like she was trying to push her away. Even if it was just fifty thousand taels of gold, she would not let go. As the commander of Fengxiang Guard, no one understands the difficulties more deeply than Tang Xinyi.
On the one hand, Qiu Wanli made everything difficult for Feng Xiangwei, but on the other hand, he was not very generous to his son. One move was worth millions of taels of gold, and she didn't even blink. How could Tang Xinyi not be angry when comparing the two? Especially when she thought that all the soldiers under her command had to tighten their belts, while Qiu Yunchong's subordinates were all fat and oily, Tang Xinyi's anger could not be suppressed.
Facing Tang Xinyi's question, Qiu Yunchong didn't take it seriously. He sneered and said, "Tang Xinyi, what qualifications do you have to compare with me? The army I lead has the important task of protecting the border and is the barrier to the safety of the empire! And What is your Feng Xiangwei? It’s a plaything for children. It’s useless. Let alone fifty thousand taels of gold, even five hundred taels is a waste in my opinion!”
"Qiu Yunchong, our Xiangfeng Guards are responsible for the safety of the princess and the safety of the royal family. How can our responsibilities be inferior to yours? Why do you look down on our Xiangfeng Guards like this?"
"What a joke! Her Royal Highness the Princess lives deep in Yunzhong City, and there are three iron cavalry and nearly 600,000 troops guarding Yunzhong City. What problems will there be with the safety of the princess? You Xiangfeng Guards have no value at all!"
"Hmph, if it weren't for me, Xiangfeng Wei, I'm afraid Her Highness the Princess would have been poisoned by someone long ago."
"Tang Xinyi, what you said seems to have a deeper meaning. Do you dare to be more straightforward?"
"No need! Others can't understand, so why don't you, Qiu Yunchong, understand?"
"Bastard! Are you saying that I, Qiu Yunchong, will assassinate Her Highness the Princess?"
"You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others! Before the mask is taken off, who knows whether the person behind the mask is a human or a ghost?"
"You..." Qiu Yunchong wanted to get angry, but he held it back and sneered and said, "I know you are jealous. Jealousy often makes people lose their minds and even talk nonsense, so for what you just said, I don't blame you. Tang Xinyi, you are actually a talented person, but it's a pity that you fell in love with the wrong person. Why don't you go back and talk to the princess if she is willing to have a few drinks with the general. , It’s just fifty thousand taels of gold, I’ll give it to her!”
"Qiu Yun is so bold to charge you! Just by your arrogant words, I can punish you with the crime of disrespect and punish your nine tribes!" Tang Xinyi raised her eyebrows and shouted with an angry face.
Qiu Yunchong sneered and said, "If that's the case, then what are you waiting for? Doesn't Her Royal Highness hate my enemies to the core? You killed my nine tribes, and you have made a great contribution in front of Her Royal Highness."
"You..." Qiu Yunchong's arrogant attitude naturally made Tang Xinyi furious, but no matter how angry she was, Tang Xinyi did not dare to actually kill Qiu Yunchong. With this killing, the world would immediately be in chaos. Regardless, her and Bai Die's lives would be lost in an instant.
Looking at Tang Xinyi's angry but helpless look, Qiu Yunchong snorted and said, "If you are really loyal to Her Highness the Princess, then you should go back and persuade her. This person should be smarter and knowledgeable about current affairs. She If you continue to mess around like this, I'm afraid even the princess won't be safe, so why talk about anything else?"
"Qiu Yunchong, you... are you threatening Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Tang Xinyi stared at Qiu Yunchong in surprise. She never expected that this Qiu Yunchong was more ruthless than his father. He was so naked about his ambitions and made no secret of it. This made Tang Xinyi feel a strong threat. Does this mean that the enemy father and son have made some preparations
"Hey! You really can't be a good person these days! You obviously have good intentions, but others treat you like a donkey. Whatever you think, I don't have time to explain to you?" After saying that, Qiu Yunchong turned to look at Wu Qiujun, He said with a serious face, "Mr. Wu, the five thousand raw blood steel stones are something we have already agreed upon, and I have even paid the deposit. But now such an accident has happened, and I need an explanation."
"This matter... is indeed our Tianbao Pavilion's negligence. Let's see, if General Qiu is willing to wait a moment, we are willing to give General Qiu a 50% discount." Wu Qiujun was very sincere and offered a 50% discount, which means Now, Tianbao Pavilion will have to pay another million taels of gold. Looking at Wu Qiujun's face that was twitching slightly, he was probably bleeding.
"No! This general can wait, but the military situation in Beacon City cannot wait!"
What surprised Wan Dong was that Qiu Yunchong rejected Wu Qiujun's proposal with a firm expression and no room for accommodation. This time, it seemed that even Duan Leng Yan's face had no effect. What kind of relationship does Tianbao Pavilion have with its enemies? It seems that it is not as close as Wandong imagined before. Is it really just a simple business relationship
"Hmph! Over the years, the eight tribes of Xijue have been almost crippled by our imperial army. They have retreated to the depths of the desert and are unable to invade our borders again. What kind of military situation can the war be successful? Qiu Yunchong, these five thousand pieces of blood steel Yuan Shi, are you afraid that your enemy and his son have another important use?"
Tang Xinyi emphasized the word "other important use" very seriously, and the meaning was self-evident.
Qiu Yunchong just snorted lightly and did not respond, looking very disdainful towards Tang Xinyi.
"If this is the case, then I have no choice but to return double the deposit paid by General Qiu as agreed!" Seeing Qiu Yunchong's refusal to accommodate, Wu Qiujun's expression turned cold.
He had suffered enough humiliation today, and he no longer wanted to look at Qiu Yunchong's face.
"Is this the reputation of Tianbao Pavilion?" Qiu Yunchong was a little angry.
Wu Qiujun simply stopped talking and just glared at Wandong fiercely, his heart filled with rage: "Is this kid really sent by God to torture me?"
Seeing that Wu Qiujun was ignoring him, Qiu Yunchong's face became even more angry. He seemed to have completely forgotten about the previous 'friendship' between the two parties when they jointly dealt with Wandong. Qiu Yunchong is this kind of person. Once his interests are touched, he will fall out of favor faster than turning over a book.
"Giggle... Qiu Yunchong, you see, God doesn't want to see people like you. No matter what kind of calculations you have in your heart, you are destined to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain!" Qiu Yunchong's angry expression made Tang Xinyi confused. Smooth, crisp laughter keeps coming. Even the look he looked at Wandong was a little more gentle, and he thought to himself, "This kid really has a way. It's not easy to defeat Qiu Yunchong like this." (To be continued)
