In fact, he didn't know, Murong Fu also secretly regretted it in his heart, why did he ask for half of it, at least six or four points!

When he heard Wu Sangui's excuse to excuse his words, Murong Fu's heart moved, and he said with a smile, "Mining is extremely difficult? ”

When Wu Sangui heard this, he didn't seem to hear the second half of his lion's big mouth, but asked, "Can you solve it?"

The biggest problem he faces now is the lack of armor, in the final analysis, it can also be said that the mining of ore veins is slow, as long as he can mine enough iron ore, he can build his own armor, why bother others.

Murong Fu was slightly stunned and understood the crux of the problem, and secretly scolded in his heart that he should not have said his hole cards so early.

But the matter has come to this point, and he has no choice but to continue, "A few days ago, what happened in Yanshan, the prince should have listened to the report of his subordinates, right?"

Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he suddenly realize, "Childe is referring to the last time the Black Armor Army went into the mountains to find Ake, and then suppressed the bandits?"

Murong Fu nodded, "My son was present at the time, and it was also at that time that he discovered the prince's vein, I wonder if Mr. Xia told the prince about the battle situation at that time?"

"Specifically, the king doesn't know very well, but he only knows that they came back in disgrace, saying that the traitors blew up the mountain. Wu Sangui said lightly.

He didn't lie, such a trivial matter, Xia Guoxiang and others didn't need to explain the details when they reported, they just needed to report the results clearly, and after he learned that Ah Ke was recovered, he didn't ask about the situation at the time.

Murong Fu smiled slightly, "What the prince said is right, it was I who blew up your mine at that time, but the ** used was the saltpeter powder developed by Shenlong Island itself, which is more than three times more powerful than the ordinary **, and it is the most suitable for mining iron ore." ”

Wu Sangui's first reaction when he heard the words was disbelief, but Murong Fu said it carefully, and he couldn't figure it out, so the best way at the moment was naturally to recruit a subordinate to come in and confirm it.

Thinking of this, he said without hesitation, "I don't know if the prince can let this king recruit his subordinates to ask one or two." ”

Murong Fu thought about it, and nodded and agreed, after all, the army outside couldn't see Wu Sangui for a long time, and it was inevitable that there would be chaos.

After a while, Wu Sangui summoned Xia Guoxiang and asked in detail about the situation of the day, Xia Guoxiang was full of suspicions, and had to say it 1510, for the evaluation of saltpeter powder, he quite agreed with Murong Fu's statement.

After Xia Guoxiang left, Wu Sangui pondered for a long time, and said with a strange look in his eyes, "This king can trade with Gongzi, but this king wants to be flexible in this way of trading." ”

Murong Fu had already expected this, "What a workaround, please tell me." ”

"This king doesn't want the weapon workshop of Shenlong Island, let alone send troops to attack Shenlong Island, you can take it away if you like Ake, and this king can also give you countless gold and silver money, as long as Gongzi provides enough saltpeter powder for this king." Wu Sangui said.

When Murong Fu heard this, he almost jumped up in anger, this old fox really dared to speak, but Wu Sangui smiled, "Why should Gongzi be excited, since it is a transaction, then there is a process of bargaining, how much gold and silver is needed, and Gongzi can open his mouth." ”

Murong Fu also realized that he was out of shape, and immediately calmed down his emotions and said lightly, "Okay, this prince wants to ask the prince a question, if you grasp the lifeblood of others, what will you take the opportunity to ask for?"

"Of course, it's the ...... that this king needs the most," Wu Sangui blurted out, and immediately realized that something was wrong as soon as the words came out.

Murong Fu laughed, "So the prince thinks that he can use gold and silver money to send his son?"

Wu Sangui was silent for a moment, "Okay, this king can divide you into iron ore, but this king also needs the refining method of saltpeter powder." ”

Murong Fu was not as excited as before, and said with a smile, "That's impossible, sixty percent iron ore, you and I will work together to mine it, otherwise there is no need to talk about it." ”

......

After some bargaining, the two finally negotiated the deal, the two sides each retreated a few steps, Murong recovered fifty percent of the iron ore, and in addition to providing a large number of armor at one time, Shenlong Island also had to build a certain amount of blades for the Pingxi Mansion for free every month, and Wu Sangui only divided half of the iron ore.

This transaction seems to Murong Fu to suffer a loss, but in fact, he has explored the iron mine in depth, and the reserves are not bad, even if it is exploited desperately, it is enough to be mined for ten years, and he can get so much iron ore just by providing a little saltpeter powder, plus armor and weapons, which can be said to be a double profit.

Of course, Wu Sangui is old and refined, it is impossible not to see this bit of cattiness, but in his heart it is another thought, now the army is about to start, as short as three or five years, as long as seven or eight years can be divided into winners and losers, then he will sit on a large area of the country, and how can he put a mere Shenlong Island in his eyes.

After this negotiation, Murong Fu realized that he was really not this material, he didn't think it when he was blackmailing in the past, but as soon as he ran into an old fox like Wu Sangui, he showed his original form.

"Murong Gongzi, now that everything has been decided, you and I are allies, and Shenlong Island is not far from Shanhaiguan, so we must help each other and support each other in the future. Wu Sangui tried his best to solve the biggest problem in his heart as he wished, and his heart was full of joy, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes couldn't hide his joy.

Murong Fu was also in a good mood, and immediately smiled, "It should be, it should be, but about the matter of your mansion sending troops, you and I still need to discuss a thing or two." ”

"Oh, if Childe has any suggestions, you might as well say it directly. ”

The two had another detailed conversation.

Outside the small courtyard, most of the hours passed, more than a thousand black-armored soldiers were looking forward to penetrating, and they never saw the figure of the prince, they were already impetuous, ready to move, if it weren't for a few generals who had been pressing, they would have rushed into the courtyard to save the prince.

As for Chen Jinnan and the others, they had already retreated to the courtyard, meditating, healing, and healing, and they were curious about what Murong Fu and Wu Sangui had talked about, and they glanced at each other from time to time, but with Liu Dahong's previous experience, they had no intention of breaking in.

In another wooden house, Chen Yuanyuan, Li Zicheng and Hu Yizhi were speechless.

Previously, Hu Yizhi exposed his martial arts and was bumped into by Chen Yuanyuan, and after some questioning, he had to truthfully explain his origin, and vaguely showed his heart by the way.

Chen Yuanyuan didn't seem to hear his intentions, and after expressing his gratitude and apologies, he politely asked him to leave and not follow him again.

From beginning to end, Li Zicheng has been listening to the side, and he has a sense of pride in his heart for no reason, but because of Hu Yizhi's strong martial arts, he did not show the slightest.

"No, I'll go and see what deal he wants to make with the big traitor!" Wen Qingqing in the courtyard couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly got up and said.

Yuan Chengzhi was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Qingqing can't be, let's wait and see." ”

"That's it, Mrs. Yuan, now that person has no distinction between right and wrong, it's really unreasonable, in case he even does it with you, it will be too worthless. Mu Jiansheng obviously had a great grudge against Murong Fu, and said in a somewhat weird manner.

"He won't make a move on me," Wen Qingqing opened his mouth to say, but then realized something, his cheeks were slightly red, and he added, "He is also a big man after all, so he won't make a move on me as a weak woman." ”

Mu Jiansheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't say anything more.

However, just as Wen Qingqing wanted to get close to the door of the house, there was a sudden "ding", and a long sword fell out of thin air and was inserted in front of Wen Qingqing, and at the same time, Ah Jiu's indifferent voice sounded, "Master, he is discussing important matters, don't disturb." ”

"Ninth Princess!" Wen Qingqing was taken aback, but she didn't expect Ah Jiu to be hiding in the shadows all the time.

When the rest of the people heard this voice, they also looked suspicious, and Yuan Chengzhi suddenly said in one direction, "I don't know what happened to the injury of the Ninth Princess before?"

There was no lack of concern in the words, in fact, when Ah Jiu appeared to assassinate Wu Sangui, he had the idea at the first time, and later saw that she was injured, and he always remembered this matter.

"Thanks to my concern, I have a master to heal my wounds, and I am completely healed. Ah Jiu's cold voice sounded again.

Wen Qingqing glanced at Yuan Chengzhi with some surprise, and the different color on his face flashed.

Just as she wanted to break into the house despite Ah Jiu's obstruction, there was a squeak, but the door opened by itself, and the two walked out head-on, it was Wu Sangui and Murong Fu, both with cheerful smiles on their faces, looking like they wanted to talk very happily.

"Hahaha, the son is quick to talk, which is very much in line with the king's appetite, and you and I will have to communicate more in the future. Wu Sangui said enthusiastically.

Murong Fu smiled and said, "As long as the prince doesn't arrest me as an assassin, I will come to the palace more often." ”

Wen Qingqing looked at the two of them in a daze, and suddenly her gaze tightened, falling on A Ke in Murong Fu's arms, and blurted out, "Who is she?"

The two seemed to realize that there was someone in front of them, Wu Sangui smiled and said nothing, while Murong Fu was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, at this time, Chen Yuanyuan also came out of the other room, hurriedly stepped forward to pick up A Ke, and helped him back to the room.

"Lord Wang, there is one more thing I hope you can be merciful. Murong Fu immediately changed the topic to resolve his embarrassment.

"What's the matter, Childe, but it doesn't matter. Wu Sangui's heart jumped, and he thought that Murong Fu was going to add some conditions.

Unexpectedly, he said, "These friends from the rivers and lakes have some relationship with me, can you ask the prince to let them go this time." ”

Wu Sangui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Okay, for the sake of the son's face today, this king will not pursue it, but if it hits the hands of this king again in the future, this king will not be spared." ”

Murong Fu was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Wu Sangui to agree so happily, he couldn't help but look at him twice, wanting to find out something, but the old fox was so cunning that there was no flaw on his face, so he had to say, "Thank you, Lord Wang, I won't help them intercede next time." ”

In fact, he didn't know that Wu Sangui didn't want to kill Chen Jinnan and these people, in fact, as early as the turtle killing conference, Wu Sangui got a specific secret report, and filmed a spy to sneak in, if you want to deal with these people, it was the best opportunity at that time, but he didn't do it, because keeping these forces of the Heaven and Earth Society can cause some trouble to Kangxi, and even involve Kangxi's forces to a certain extent.
