1388 He Who Can See the Legendary Armament Canon (3)
This time, the black shadow didnât hesitate and nodded.
Zhou Shu suddenly laughed and looked at Mu Zhixing with a smile. âMu Zhixing, you seem to be in trouble. Iâve already obtained the laurel tree. I donât think you can get your things.â
Mu Zhixing shouted, âKing Zhou, thatâs not what we agreed. We agreed to explore the Glacial Palace together. Then the laurel tree will belong to you, and the rest will belong to me.â
âIs that so? Havenât we already finished exploring? This Glacial Palace is only so big,â Zhou Shu said indifferently. âYou can tell at a glance. Apart from Brother Wu, there shouldnât be anyone else here. If you want anything, you can get it yourself. We didnât say that I had to help you get anything.â
Mu Zhixing wanted to curse in his heart. Although he didnât know what was going on, the black shadow only communicated with Zhou Shu. If he dared to go forward, he would definitely fight him to the death.
If you leave, will that Wu fellow let me get close to thatched hut?You can take away the laurel tree, but what about me? I havenât found anything yet!
Mu Zhixing pulled Zhou Shu aside and whispered, âKing Zhou, take this Wu fellow away too, and Iâll owe you a favor. How about that?â
âYouâll owe me a favor?â Zhou Shu smiled faintly. âThen, what do you plan to repay me with?â
Mu Zhixing cursed in his heart. Why are you so enthusiastic when it comes to benefits?
âIâll do whatever you say!â Mu Zhixing said through gritted teeth.
The things in the Glacial Palace were too important to him. Even though he knew that Zhou Shu was doing it on purpose, he had to grit his teeth and accept it.
âI want a hundred thousand soldiers of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to help me fight,â Zhou Shu said.
âThatâs impossible!â Mu Zhixing cried out. âHow many soldiers does the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom have in total? An army of a hundred thousand is impossible!â
Mu Zhixing shook his head repeatedly. âKing Zhou, youâre making things difficult for me. Iâm just a vanguard general in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. How can I mobilize an army of a hundred thousand to help you?â
Mu Zhixing smiled bitterly.
Zhou Shu said calmly, âMu Zhixing, you donât have to pretend to be poor in front of me. I can ask a sky-high price, and you can make a down-to-earth offer. Business is always negotiable.â
Mu Zhixing said helplessly, âAn army of a hundred thousand is definitely impossible. Ten thousand at most.â
He finally understood that Zhou Shu was someone who didnât commit himself until success was certain. If he didnât give him some benefits, it was impossible for him to help him.
âNinety thousand,â Zhou Shu said calmly, as if there was no need for them to talk if Mu Zhixing didnât agree.
âKing Zhou, our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom is different from your ancestral land. Our army is all elites among elites. People canât join the army without the cultivation of the Earth Immortal realm,â Mu Zhixing said.
âTherefore, even if all the soldiers of our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom are added up, we donât have so many people. If a ninety-thousand-strong army is mobilized, our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom will be empty internally. This is impossible.
âNot to mention me, even the Green Emperor wonât agree. I canât do this.â
Mu Zhixing said seriously, âIâll add another ten thousand for twenty thousand soldiers. There really canât be any more!â
âMu Zhixing, you canât bargain like this. Youâre cutting the price by more than half,â Zhou Shu said. âBrother Wu is from the Ancient Heavenly Court. Iâm risking my life to negotiate with him. My life is only worth twenty thousand soldiers?â
Mu Zhixing cursed in his heart. You bastard, not to mention a twenty-thousand-strong army, even a one-hundred-strong army isnât worth it!
But he didnât dare to say this to Zhou Shu. âKing Zhou, this isnât how we settle the score. I know why you are asking for an army. The army sent by our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom can save the lives of humans. How can we settle this?â
Zhou Shu said, âTwenty thousand soldiers wonât solve any problem. Iâll take a step back. Eighty thousand soldiers. As long as the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom sends eighty thousand soldiers to support the ancestral land, then no matter what, Iâll help you get what you want in the Glacial Palace.â
Mu Zhixing looked helpless. Eighty thousand? Iâve already made it clear, okay? Our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdomâs army isnât like cabbages by the roadside!
âThirty thousand, thirty thousand at most!â Mu Zhixing bargained again.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. It turned out that if he lowered the price by ten thousand, Mu Zhixing would increase it by ten thousand.
Was he joking?
âEighty thousand soldiers. I wonât do it even with one less person.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âMu Zhixing, youâre the one begging me now. I have no interest in this Glacial Palace. If we canât negotiate, Iâll just leave with the laurel tree. In any case, I wonât lose out with this laurel tree.â
You wonât lose anything, but I will suffer a huge loss! Mu Zhixing was about to explode in anger.
But there was nothing he could do. He had no way of dealing with the black shadow.
âKing Zhou, I really canât dispatch an army of eighty thousand.â Mu Zhixing smiled bitterly. âSixty thousand. I will go all out, but I can only ask for sixty thousand soldiers at most. Any more than this will really exceed my ability.
âIf this really doesnât work for you, then I can only give up.â
Mu Zhixing looked helpless.
Zhou Shu looked at Mu Zhixing. He knew that he couldnât force Mu Zhixing further.
An army of sixty thousand seemed alright.
After all, the army of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom was much stronger than the human army. Didnât Mu Zhixing say that the weakest among them was at the Earth Immortal realm?
The 60,000-strong army with at least an Earth Immortal realm cultivation should have no problem fighting the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
No, it should be 70,000. There were still 10,000 mercenaries in the ancestral land.
Zhou Shu was overjoyed, but the expression on his face didnât change at all. He said calmly, âOn account of our relationship, Iâll take a step back. Sixty thousand it is.â
Mu Zhixing had long cursed Zhou Shuâs eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.
Donât look like youâve suffered a loss. Damn it, youâve gained a lot.
Do you think I donât know what youâre up to? Donât you just want to use the army of our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to resist the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?
Hmph, itâs only because our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom doesnât want to see the ancestral land occupied by the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. Otherwise, do you think I would agree?
Itâs still uncertain who will benefit and who will suffer. Itâs not that easy to take advantage of me!
Mu Zhixing urged, âKing Zhou, since weâve already reached a deal, hurry up and take this Wu bastard away!â
