Chapter 873
"The king must have had this idea before agreeing to this transaction. He didn't tell you because he was worried about the news leaking."

Mr. Qin smiled mysteriously.

"But the king asked me to mobilize more than 30 billion taels of silver and transport it to Fengye City in three installments. That's real gold and silver!"

Mr. Qin said with a grimace.

"Three deliveries? What does that mean?"

Mr. Qin said thoughtfully.

"This is what the king ordered. The first time, 22 million taels of silver were transported. The second time was also [-] million taels of silver. The last time, about [-] billion taels of silver..."

Mr. Qin did not hide his father.

"In order to make this transaction real, the first and second times should be normal transactions. But this last time, it is probably because the king wants to take advantage of others."

Mr. Qin saw Zhou Likun's little trick at a glance.

"Father, you mean that the last 22 billion taels of silver will eventually return to the national treasury?"

Master Qin seemed to understand.

"That's for sure. The king is not a fool. Once the treasury is empty, the entire Zhou Dynasty will probably collapse from within next year. Not only does he want military supplies, he also wants the money!"

Mr. Qin responded with a smile.

"If this is the case, then I will start making preparations as the king said to ensure that the first two transactions of this transaction go smoothly. As for the last one, I probably won't be asked to send someone to escort the silver."

Mr. Qin was extremely happy.

"Once the Zhou Dynasty obtains more than 30 billion in military supplies, its strength will definitely reach a higher level. By then, we will not only become the head of the three major dynasties, but also be able to compete with the Chinese Empire! Nothing can happen with this transaction Damn it, if something happens, the king will definitely take you for granted."

Mr. Qin warned with a smile.

"Father, don't worry when I do things. There will definitely be no problems."

Mr. Qin is full of confidence.

"You can't talk about this matter with others, especially the blackmail that we analyzed just now. Once it is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Mr. Qin reminded him kindly.

"Father, don't worry, God knows this and the earth knows it, you know it and I know it!"

Mr. Qin responded with a serious face.

What they didn't know was that at Huixian Yaju not far from the Qin family's residence, Lu Hao was drinking tea and chatting with the beautiful lady Qin, while listening to their conversation.

Although Lu Hao felt that the two people's analysis was reasonable and thorough, Lu Hao could only maintain a cautious attitude to avoid falling into the trap of the King of Zhou.

As for when to sneak into the palace, he had to think about it again. He had to have a suitable time, and he had to look at the time when they were discussing important matters.

In fact, Lu Hao's soul power is enough to cover the entire Haojing City, and he can overhear their conversation while listening to Yuxuan.

However, he can't always turn on the power of his soul infinitely and eavesdrop aimlessly, right?

Is this why he wants to get close to Qin Zhixuan?

Today he found Mr. Qin coming back from the palace with a bad look on his face, and he followed Mr. Qin into the study. There must be important matters to discuss, and eavesdropping at this time is the most effective.

Qin Zhixuan had no idea that she was inviting a wolf into the house. Instead, she felt that the longer she chatted with Lu Hao, the more surprised she became at how knowledgeable this man was, as if everything in the world was already in his mind.

Lu Hao overheard the key things, then said goodbye to Qin Zhixuan, got on the carriage and went back to Su's house leisurely.

……

Listen to Yuxuan.

Lu Hao just walked into the room and found a beautiful girl sitting inside, looking at the lake outside the window with a resentful look on her face, as if she was intoxicated in the lake.

Su Yifei learned that Lu Hao had gone to the Qin family's residence. Although she knew that he was there to inquire about information, she was still worried about it, fearing that the vixen would lure Lu Hao's soul away.

Cui'er sat next to Su Yifei and didn't speak. She just stayed in a daze with her young lady quietly.

The sound of slight footsteps was heard, and both of them turned their heads to look at Su Yifei. Su Yifei's sad face suddenly disappeared, and she was filled with a bit of resentment.

"Uncle, you are finally back." Cui'er was extremely excited and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tui'er, who told you to call me uncle? Call him Mr. Lu."

Su Yifei scolded angrily.

"Okay, okay, listen to the lady. Mr. Lu, I'm leaving first. You take good care of my lady."

Cui'er gave Lu Hao a wink and quickly ran away.

"Who wants him to take care of you? I just came here to tell you the status of today's negotiations."

Su Yifei quickly used business as an excuse.

"How was your talk today?"

Lu Hao sat opposite the beautiful woman and asked seriously.

"After my hard work and unremitting efforts, Mr. Tang finally agreed to raise the price by nine points. What do you think?"

Su Yifei's face was filled with embarrassment.

"Nine points is barely enough. A profit of more than [-] million is enough for your Su family to prosper."

Lu Hao nodded slightly, also very happy.

"Although Mr. Tang agreed to three transactions, the first two transactions amounted to 22 million yuan and the last transaction amounted to [-] billion yuan. My father was worried that there was fraud in it, and maybe they would take advantage of others."

Su Yifei conveyed her father's concerns.

"Maybe, what about the time and place of the transaction?"

Lu Hao asked.

"The transaction time is set for No. 18 half a month later. The location is Fengye City you mentioned. It is a border city of the Zhou Dynasty. It is less than an hour away from Yinzhou City."

Su Yifei responded.

Although Yinzhou City and Fengye City are not too far apart, to the south and west of Yinzhou City is the territory of Yue State, and to the east is the territory of Zheng State. Now General Zhou Yuan's goal is the five northwest cities of Zheng State.

Once these cities are captured, they can move north and enter the territory of Shu, and then westward, they can enter the Yinzhou City of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When Lu Hao was fighting fiercely with the two great priests, Cao Ming, Zhou Yuan and others were still in Xunyang City. It would probably take ten and a half months to capture these cities.

However, Lu Hao set the trading location in Fengye City, which was the closest to the border of Shu. However, some of the cities on Shu's side were basically occupied by the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Once the deal in Fengye City is completed and they retreat eastward, the armies of the Zhou Dynasty can attack from both front and back, making it impossible for everyone to escape.

Lu Hao wanted to give them the illusion that Fengye City, the trading place, had set up a dragnet so that not even a fly could escape.

Although he didn't answer, the light of wisdom in his eyes was shining, making the beauty look in trance.

"You... what are you thinking?"

Su Yifei asked blurtly.

"I'm thinking about the whole deal and seeing if there are any loopholes left for them?"

Lu Hao responded.

"What should we do if they really take advantage of others? Maybe our Su family will be destroyed!"

Su Yifei asked with a grimace.

"Don't worry, with me protecting you, you will be fine."

Lu Hao joked with a smile.

"Who asked you to protect me? I'm worried about my father. He said he would follow the car carrying the gold and silver to prevent them from stealing the money and turning around!"

Su Yifei rolled her eyes at him.
