Vol 5 Chapter 165: Ask for help

At the beginning of the establishment of the League of Heroes, Luo Feng sent out a batch of telephone snails so that registered heroes could better obtain real-time information.
With the widespread use of telephone snails, this magical weapon of communication was also known to the Song court. When Luo Feng defrauded the land deed of Shushan, in order to please the court, in addition to paying tribute to a batch of small blue pills, he also gave it to the court. After calling the snail, the imperial court said that this magic weapon is the sound transmission method of Buddhism, which was refined by a monk who mastered the supernatural powers of the heavens and ears.
Therefore, although the capital was surrounded by water, the imperial court did not lose communication with the outside world. The hurriedly installed the telephone snail in a tray and brought it to Cai Jing.
Cai Xiang dialed Dugu Yuyun's number, and the Manchu civil and military and the Huizong emperor were all eagerly waiting, pricked their ears to listen.
"Beep toot...The user you dialed has been turned off, please redial later."
If you can get through, you will have a ghost. At this moment, Dugu Yuyun was pierced with a pipa bone and tied into a zongzi with a mysterious iron chain. He was locked in the wall of Jianzhong in Shu Mountain and thought about it. Personal belongings, including the phone snail, were confiscated.
Cai Xiang was anxious, put down the phone snail, and said angrily: "What's the matter, this guy usually brags that he's jealous like a sword, like a sword, and the devil is heavy on one shoulder." If something goes wrong, he can't find anyone. Could it be a fake? Immortal, just like the warlock of the rivers and lakes, it's all cheating with a mouth?"
Unable to find Dugu Yuyun, he could only retreat and dialed Jing Xiaolou's phone, and Manchu Wenwu was looking forward to it again.
"Dududu...dududu..."
"Hey?"
"The official is Da Song Youpu shooting Cai Jing. Jing Xiaolou, what exactly do you do for your hero alliance? Ming and Ming will report to the court that the monsters in Da Song have been basically eliminated. It turns out that they like the side soldiers and bandits. Falsified and lied about the military situation, if the demons have been eliminated, how can there be a besieged city of demons in Chang'an now?!"
"Oh... It turned out to be Lord Cai, and the Lord calmed down his anger. It is also very helpless to cause such troubles. The specific reasons are too long..."
Cai Jing interrupted impatiently: "Enough, this officer doesn't want to listen to your explanation! Listen well, this officer orders you to summon your gangster martial arts quickly and come to Chang'an within one day to solve the siege of Chang'an monsters. "
"Well...that...hey...it's a bit difficult..."
On the other side of the phone, he hesitated and said unclearly, Cai Jing was furious and yelled into the microphone: "Jing Xiaolou! You are a traitorous profiteer who wants to make a fortune at this critical juncture, so that he can use the court? You are not afraid of the court ruling you. Are you guilty of copying and beheading?"
"Ahem, I'm not afraid to be honest, I've never been afraid, you know my dad is Sedum..."
There was a low whisper on the other end of the phone. Although the voice was small, it was clearly audible after being amplified by the snail loudspeaker of the telephone, which was heard by Manchu Wenwu and Emperor Huizong.
There was an awkward silence above the court. In terms of status, Jing Xiaolou was just a businessman, and compared with the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, it really existed like a grass.
Cai Jing also said smoothly, habitually showing the attitude of the literati looking down on the vulgar profiteers, playing with the official power, and only after being stunned by Jing Xiaolou did he wake up. He is the second generation of immortals, and the gods in the sky will sell his father. Divided into thin faces, the Great Lord of the Demon Realm and his father are brothers and brothers, and the power of the world is like a cloud of him. The court dared to decree to copy the Jing family, and Jing Tian dared to smash the Jinluan Temple with a few gods.
Calm down, Cai Jing immediately changed his tone: "Leader of the King, the old man is also concerned and messed up, this is not a word. Now Changan is besieged, the Great Song Society is in danger, and the people are hanging upside down. He also asked the leader of the King to watch the millions of people in Chang'an. For good reason, organizing martial arts righteous scholars to go to King Qin Qin. This is the great achievement of Kuangfu Sheji. If successful, the court will have a great reward!"
"Hey... Cao Min said that this is difficult because there is no League of Heroes."
Jing Xiaolou said: "The League of Heroes suffered a major change. It closed down due to poor management. Banks and insurance companies have gone bankrupt and liquidated. All registered heroes are laid off and reemployed. There are no half of Caomin’s martial artists, and the Jing family has been How can you be able to organize Wang Yijun if you succeed in defeat?"
"What, the League of Heroes has closed down?"
Hearing this, Cai Jing immediately exclaimed: "You...how can you let the League of Heroes go bankrupt? Who will manage the evil of the monsters? You are too irresponsible!"
Jing Xiaolou sneered: "The League of Heroes is a non-governmental commercial organization, and the court has not provided any assistance except for collecting money from the Caomin.
Regardless of the registered hero or the leader of Caomin, he has never been appointed an official or a half, and he has never received the court's salary. Can it be maintained until now. Isn't it relying on Caomin's solid foundation and brazenly supporting it?
Now that the Caomin’s wealth is gone, the League of Heroes has suffered heavy casualties, and the pensions alone have emptied the Caomin’s pockets. It is normal for them to go bankrupt. The court now needs martial artists to serve, so what did you do? There is a saying that you can raise your soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, but you have never raised your soldiers for half a day, and you still expect to use your soldiers like gods. Where is such good thing? "
Cai Jing was battered and turned blue, but because Jing Xiaolou was the last straw of the court, she could only patience and plead: "Leader of the King! National disaster is at the fore, even if the court has neglected before, it is for the people's share of life. Come on, you chivalrous men should do your best too! Otherwise, how should history books record your deeds?"
"There are still places for us knights in the history books? Characters like Tai Shigong have long since existed in the Great Song Dynasty Hall, right?"
Jing Xiaolou laughed and said: "Even if our knights lay down their lives for free, your literati will owe it to you in the history books compiled by you and others for your command and strategizing. As for us, we are just the death of monsters and the fate of lackeys. Leave an evaluation of'Xia's chaos by martial arts', this kind of bad things happened too much in the past, and there are plenty of lessons for us."
Cai Jing knew that this man was a businessman, and he didn't say the least truth in his mouth. It was a waste of time to use justice and morality to talk to him. He simply said, "What conditions are provided by the court before you agree to send the king?"
"Soldiers and horses do not move food and grass first, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers."
Jing Xiaolou took it for granted: "Only when the military expenditures are received, will the Caomin have the money to recruit volunteers, buy military resources, and equip weapons."
"How much military expenditure do you plan to cost!"
"Not much, not much, twenty million taels of silver is almost enough."
"Twenty million? Da Song can't spend so much money on raising 800,000 forbidden troops!"
"What is the quality of the imperial army of the Song Dynasty? Chang'an City currently has 800,000 imperial troops stationed. If the imperial army can be used, why should Cai Xiang ask the Caomin for help?"
Jing Xiaolou disdainfully said: "The knights of the League of Legends usually drink big bowls, eat meat, big scales divide silver, small scales divide gold, the cost is like running water, and the pension alone is a thousand taels of gold per person. , Otherwise, who is willing to fight the extremely cruel monsters? If you charge you 20 million taels, it will be enough for an opening fee, and the bounty for killing the monsters is not counted."
Cai Jing said angrily: "The imperial court's annual income is less than five or six million taels, and there is no reserve of 20 million taels in the treasury!"
Jing Xiaolou said in a mocking tone: "The country has no money. You high officials have it. As far as I know, Cai Xiang's family has piles of gold and silver, and his hometown occupies a thousand hectares of fertile land. You can make it together. Even if Chang'an is besieged. If the gold and silver cannot be shipped out, you can contact your hometown to sell the land. Everyone will go to the national crisis together. You pay, we contribute, it’s fair."
"Nonsense! The old man clearly has a cool breeze in his sleeves... The court is also a prosperous dynasty, all of which are clean and honest officials, and the court clothes of the upper dynasty are patched."
Jing Xiaolou sneered: "There used to be a few high-fashionable adults in the hall, but now I can’t say for sure. If you don’t spend military expenses, naturally you can’t build a rebel army. It’s hard for clever women to cook without rice. You might as well try to climb the tower. Using those three-inch incorruptible tongues and moral articles to denounce the demons, they might be able to awaken the demons, Pan Ran, and be impressed by my long-lasting Chinese style."
Cai Jing was furious and yelled at the phone: "It's the other way around, you shameless soldiers, you are cold-blooded and ruthless, regardless of the righteousness of the country, and don't care about the safety of the people. You are just a group of innocent villains! If you break through, millions of people have died in the mouth of the monsters, and your ugly deeds will be stinking for thousands of years and will never be washed away from the pillar of shame!"
"Oh, Cai Xiang doesn't have to worry about the safety of the Li people."
Jing Xiaolou said frankly: "General Manager Luo expected that the adults like moral kidnapping, he just tied himself and the people together, relying on the represented people to fool our knights, and has sent envoys to negotiate with the monster commander in Chang'an. , The devil made a promise that if Chang’an City is breached, he will strictly restrain his men and never eat half of the common people.

"Don't eat the common people?" Cai Jing was taken aback, and suddenly woke up: "What about the nobles and nobles?"
"Oh...it's a pity. I don't know which wicked guy has spread the rumor, saying that demons can eat the nobles and can make a big gain without causing bad karma. Not only do they lack nutrition, they are also bad for reincarnation. The anonymous demon said that the nobles are pampered, the meat is plump and tender, and the taste is very good, while the poor are sour and sour, so...you know the choice of food."
Jing Xiaolou sighed and said: "This time the monster army is besieging Chang'an, the ultimate goal is to taste the meat of the nobles. You can't persuade you no matter how much you want, please ask for more blessings."
