Chapter 342 Making the Deal
Chi Shi couldn't point out Chen Changan's fault, so he laughed and said, "Master Chen, please don't joke with me. I can't stand seeing this kind of weapon."
"When I return home, I will tell our Khan that we wish to have friendly relations with the State of Chu for generations and never have any disputes."
"Come, come, Lord Chen, please take a seat."
Chen Changan chuckled and sat down. He said, "We have been friends for generations. Do you think I should believe it?"
Chen Changan accepted Chi Shi's enthusiastic invitation and drank with all the Xixia people.
Accompanied by the sound of the erhu, beauties walked out gracefully. They were dressed in colorful traditional costumes, which were gorgeous and dazzling.
The thin gauze skirt fluttered gently with their movements, like colorful clouds swaying in the wind.
Their figures are as light as a swallow, every movement is full of rhythm, their arms wave softly as if without bones, and their eyes are bright, as if they can ignite the passion of the entire arena.
The Xixia people, who had drunk several bowls of cat urine, began to speak loudly, using obscene language that was unbearable to the ears.
Chen Changan just followed them and commented on the beauties.
"Master Chen, please drink!"
Zhi Shi gave a wink, and those Xixia women gathered around Chen Changan, ready to be picked.
Chen Changan wanted to reach out and feel their hot bodies, but he didn't dare: "Prince Chishi, I've already married a woman, this... doesn't seem right, right?"
Zhi Shi laughed out loud: "Master Chen, so what?"
"We in Xixia don't have any princesses. A man as strong as Lord Chen should be shared by the whole world!"
"Since Chu is making things so difficult for Master Chen, why don't you just come back to Xixia with me?"
"No, my property is all in Chu, how can I go to Xixia?"
Chen Changan shook his head and laughed: "I appreciate Prince Chishi's kindness, but I don't want these beauties either."
"There are a lot of racehorses here. Aren't you asking me to participate in the horse racing competition?"
The beauty could not seduce Chen Changan, so he nodded and said with a chuckle, "Master Chen, horse racing is all about winning."
"If I lose, I will give you all the gold that Da Chu gave us this time. If Lord Chen loses, I will only ask Lord Chen for two people."
Chen Changan's heart sank, and he felt both angry and amused at the emperor.
On the one hand, he said he was not afraid of the Western Xia and was ready to go to war with them, but on the other hand, he gave them gold. What exactly did he want to do?
“Two people, I wonder if those two people are worth so much gold?”
Chishi raised his glass to clink glasses with Lord Chen: "Actually it's not anyone, I heard Lord Chen has two Westerners under his command?"
"Our country often has business exchanges with them, and we have a very good relationship with them. We want to send them home."
Holding the arrow, Chen Changan nodded and smiled, and suddenly came to his senses.
Although the musket was his own idea, it was perfected by Limadou. Chishiya wanted to send them back to some home, and it was obvious that he was planning to tie them up and perfect the musket himself.
In this way, they will not be afraid when invading Da Chu.
Chen Changan nodded and chuckled, then waved his hand and said, "Prince Zhishi, you don't know that the Westerner was captured by the King of Huainan. I was ordered to take care of him and he is under the management of General Li Wuling."
"It's okay to want these two people, but we need the old general's consent."
"I heard that the old general is the most frivolous. I guess if I give him a few women, he will agree."
"Lord Chen lied to me!" Chi Shi had a look of disbelief on his face.
"General Li has fought against Xixia for many years with ruthless tactics. He hates Xixia to the core. How could he bend to the will of a beauty?"
"If his method worked, we wouldn't have to come looking for you."
Chen Changan just chuckled. The Westerner was a treasure and he couldn't give it to Chishi.
"Then there's nothing I can do to help."
Chen Changan spread out his palms: "You also said that a strong man must make the four sides submit. I think Prince Chishi is very strong. Why doesn't he expand his territory, but instead cares about the lives of two Westerners?"
Chishi was a little angry, I just want to expand the territory!
He sighed, "It's not easy to expand the territory. I don't want to do that in this lifetime."
"I won't hide it from you, Lord Chen. Xixia is surviving in a crack. To the south, there is the Great Chu, which is our enemy. To the north, there are the Xiongnu who invade the desert from time to time. To the west, there are the Turks. To the east, there are the tribes!"
"It's hard for Xixia to survive, so how can we talk about expanding our territory?"
Chen Changan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Since Xixia is already in such a state, why did you ask me to go there?"
"Master Chen is a man of extraordinary talent. He will definitely give us a prosperous life in Xixia."
"That's right." Chen Changan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, considering that I have such a good relationship with Prince Chishi, and I also have to leave a way out for the future..."
"Well, I can't help with the Westerners' affairs, but I can talk to King Huainan and get you two Shenwu cannons."
"With this thing, tell the Xixia warriors to copy and develop it, who will dare to bully you?"
Chi Ya originally came here to explore the new weapons of Chu State, his eyes widened: "Really?"
"How could I lie to you?" Chen Changan curled his lips and said, "I think Prince Chishi also knows that I am the son of King Huainan after all, and I have always been at odds with King Huainan, but..."
"I won't say anything else. I believe Prince Chishiya will understand!"
He! Wants! To! Rebel!
In that case, he and I are on the same front!
Zhishi was immediately relieved and laughed: "Okay, okay, no need to say anything. Come, Master Chen, let's watch the horse race!"
With the sound of a loud horn, the competition officially began.
The horses galloped out like arrows, raising clouds of dust.
The sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky like thunder, shaking everyone's heart.
The audience cheered and shouted one after another, cheering for their favorite riders!
Some were waving colorful flags in their hands, some were shouting the riders' names, and the entire racecourse instantly turned into a sea of joy.
On the track, riders rode their horses, chasing each other, refusing to give in, passing through the track like lightning, leaving beautiful arcs behind them.
Of course, the result of the competition was that Chen Changan won.
Seeing the old horse pulling the cart full of gold away, Juqu Ke felt a little distressed.
"Prince Chishi, will Chen Changan really... disclose the secrets of the Great Chu to us?"
Chiya crossed his arms, "He told me his plan, he won't lie to us."
"If he dares to take my gold and not do anything, I will go to the Emperor of Great Chu and file a complaint against him. Let's see what he says!"
Juqu Ke could only nod slightly, and then said: "He took half of my gold. For the other half...should we contact another person?"
Chishi shook his head and chuckled: "Of course, it doesn't matter if the gold is spent. As long as the gold is in Da Chu, you can take it whenever you want."
"But when it comes to cannons, we need to find a way to get them out!"
Juqu Ke said nothing more and rode forward to make arrangements.
"Master, I really don't understand."
Leaving the tent holding arrows, Lao Ma said depressedly: "Why did you give the Xixia people cannons?"
"If the two countries go to war, won't we be the ones being shot at?"
