C461 Threatening
Facing this old man who was as deep as the ocean, Yang Xuan decided to strike later and calm his heart.
Zhu Changshou was also slightly surprised. He never thought that this young marquis in front of him had such a high cultivation base. He could be considered a genius among his peers, and his disposition was far beyond ordinary.
After a moment, Zhu Changshou slowly put down his teacup and said, "I wonder why Marquis of Lo Capital has come to Zhu family with such a big fanfare. Is there something important? I suppose that's not the way to be a guest, right? "
"Haha, it's not like he wants to be a guest. I just want to ask the Zhu family why they want to mess up the entire Wei Kingdom."
"What do you mean, my lord?"
Zhu Changshou's eyes slowly turned gloomy. Yang Xuan had put such a huge blame on the Zhu family the moment he opened his mouth. If outsiders heard this, it would be easy for them to say something bad about the Zhu family.
Yang Xuan didn't say anything. He patted the storage bag, took out a long blade forged by Jiangnan Prefecture, and placed it on the table.
The moment he saw the long blade, Zhu Changshou immediately understood what Yang Xuan meant, and his heart sank.
"So this is what the marquis was talking about. At that time, the manor did purchase some iron weapons because of some things, and there was no lack of military weapons among them. However, five years ago, the purchase had already stopped."
"Ancestor, you are right. I am still young and inexperienced, so I hope that you won't lie to me."
"Of course not. If you want to blame the Zhu family for this matter, I can prepare a thousand spirit stone for you. Please be magnanimous and let the Zhu family go."
Zhu Changshou took out a delicate bag from his waist and placed it on the table.
Yang Xuan used his spiritual sense to check the bag. The bag was filled with Spirit Aura, and there were countless spirit stone piled up into a mountain. It looked very tempting.
As expected of the richest man in Jiangnan Prefecture, and as expected of a senior with a profound cultivation base, Yang Xuan was surprised that he was so generous.
The preciousness of this spirit stone could not only buy treasures, but also improve one's cultivation base, making countless cultivators obsessed with it.
However, Yang Xuan had the Soul Absorption Bead given to him by the Qingzhou City Lord. He could refine the Spirit Aura from the heaven and earth on his own and transform it. Naturally, he didn't need much from the spirit stone, and the temptation was much smaller.
Immediately, Yang Xuan pushed the bag forward and said in a cold voice, "Old Ancestor, are you insulting me by doing this? Or does the old ancestor think that these thousand servants in the mansion can defeat two thousand of my elite soldiers?"
Zhu Changshou smiled faintly and said in a low voice, "Of course I don't mean that. It's just that there are a lot of things to do in the prefecture. I can't spend too much time on such a small matter."
The meaning behind his words was that he wanted to use the spirit stone to stuff Yang Xuan's mouth so that he could stop this matter.
However, Yang Xuan refused to accept it. He then asked in a low voice, "If Lord is not satisfied with this, tell me what you think in your heart and let me hear it."
Yang Xuan sneered, slammed the table heavily and said, "I will also say it clearly. There is an emergency situation at the border ahead. There were still 150,000 vacant military weapons that had not been filled up. He knew that Zhu family had taken in a lot of them. Ancestor, please provide some support. "
"No!" Zhu Changshou immediately rejected it, then said, "These armaments have long been turned into a pool of molten iron. How can this old man provide assistance to the Marquis?"
"Over the past ten years, the Zhu family has purchased at least two hundred thousand. In the past five years, there are still fifty thousand left in the Zhu family's hands. I wonder what kind of divine weapon the old ancestor is going to forge. He can actually use so many weapons? " Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhu Changshou meaningfully.
Zhu Changshou immediately lost his patience when he saw that his lie had been exposed. He waved his hand and said, "This is a secret matter of the Prefecture. I have no obligation to report it to the Marquis. However, in the past five years, I have indeed not purchased any armaments. Perhaps it was the butler who bought some more as usual. I will just ask him to hand them all over to the marquis. "
After saying that, Zhu Changshou called the butler over and whispered a few words. Soon, more than a dozen servants moved many boxes over. Yang Xuan roughly swept through them and found that they were all armaments. There were exactly fifty thousand of them.
"Since the old ancestor is so sincere, then this can be considered as the Zhu family's meritorious service. I won't bother with the matter of purchasing armaments."
Yang Xuan waved his sleeve and kept all the armaments into his storage bag. Then, he walked out of Zhu Mansion.
Yuh Qingcheng was waiting anxiously outside. When she saw Yang Xuan coming out, a smile appeared on her face. She said softly, "How much did you get?"
Yang Xuan walked over and whispered into her ear, "I got fifty thousand. But there is something strange about Zhu family Prefecture. I will come and take a look when I have the time."
After that, the two of them brought two thousand elite soldiers and went straight to the next family. All the families on the list, the major families in Jiangnan, would purchase armaments and use them for the military forces of the armed prefecture.
This behavior was harshly berated by Yang Xuan, and he threatened to report it to the State Hall. Each and every one of them was trembling with fear, and hurriedly handed over all the armaments in their hands.
In just a short day, Yang Xuan had gathered 300,000 armaments, and returned 2000 elite soldiers to Commander Prefecture. He then set out on his way back with satisfaction.
In this short period of time, Yang Xuan's name had spread across the entire Jiangnan Prefecture. Dozens of big and small aristocratic families and sects had remembered his name, and their faces would change whenever he was mentioned.
They didn't want to experience the scene of being pointed at and scolded by a young man who wasn't even twenty years old.
The day Yang Xuan left, two men followed him to Jiangnan Prefecture. One was fat and the other was thin. They were Chef and carpenter. They sneaked into the Zhu family under the cover of the night.
The old ancestor of the Zhu family personally received them and chatted in a room for the whole night. However, they did not realize that Zhu Jiu was lying on the roof and listening to their conversation.
A few days later, in Profound Gate Pass, Zhou Fengmiao brought the severely injured Tiger Army back to Guan Zhong Camp. His face looked very haggard. Ning Ziwei brought the brothers of Carduus Army out to welcome them. He was usually as cold as ice, but at this moment, he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.
"Zi Wei, counting the time, Yang Xuan should be here by now. Go and fetch him. With these three hundred thousand weapons, I think the battle in the future will be smoother."
"Yes, General..." Ning Ziwei turned around and left without hesitation.
At the same time, Yang Xuan and Yuh Qingcheng had once again arrived outside the Broken Soul Mountain. They looked at the silent valley with deep eyes.
"Idiot, are we really going to take this path?"
"It takes five days to take the official road. We only need two days to take this road. The military situation is urgent, so this is the only way."
Yang Xuan said and took the lead to walk in. Yuh Qingcheng gritted her teeth and followed closely behind.
