C1581 Deceitful City (1/2)
”Many... ”How much?” bastard was completely speechless. ”You brought out a battalion? You are too audacious... I was just wondering what the hell you wanted to do! ”
Money was important, but life was also important. If Old Lin brought 180 soldiers with him, then it wouldn't matter if he lied to him for a bit.
However, the soldiers had already reached eight hundred. This was a proper military transfer. Without any military order, they would have to deploy so many troops. Was he going to die? The Eight Flag's military system was strict. Those who sent troops without permission would be punished according to the law. The Qing Dynasty was founded more than two hundred years ago, and the internal strife never stopped.
The princes took over the throne, and many powers were at loggerheads in the hall. After two hundred years of bloody battles, they were extremely sensitive to the movement of troops, and if T?pchin found out that he had actually allowed eight hundred soldiers to enter the city secretly, for whatever reason, he would definitely be beheaded.
”No, absolutely not! Eight hundred people, are you kidding me? What time is it now, it's time for the war, T?pchin had already gone to find trouble, afraid that he would anger Master Yang, so the entire city is under martial law! ”
”How about this, I'll find a place outside the city so we can keep it …”
Old Lin glared at him, ”Cut the crap!” What's wrong with me leading a lot of troops? No one will be guarding the goods worth a million silver taels, will we be able to snatch them away from them? ”
”Don't think that I am so easy to talk to. Leave it outside the city?” I really don't trust your bastard. You brat, you've done a lot of things, eating and blacking. Outside of the city, the world is covered in snow and the land is sparsely populated.
”Ouch …” Hey, what are you talking about? No one can be tricked by my bastard, Master Lin … Besides, it's not even worth a minute for you to pinch me to death! ” The bastard was innocent.
”I know, my reputation isn't very good, so it still depends on who's wrong. ”Master Lin, this True God has already made her move. Even if I were to be scared to death, I would not dare to do anything bad …”
Old Lin wanted to enter the city secretly. He didn't care about what the bastard said, he just shook his head and said, ”No, things need to be seen in the city by my people. I don't trust anyone with that much money!”
”Don't say that my words are harsh. Just from how you bullied the commoners just now, I knew that your heart, lungs, and water were all rotten to the core …” ”How would I know that you won't join forces with others to harm my goods?”
”You must enter the city. There are many people in the city, and you can still restrain yourself a little. Otherwise, don't even think about it …” ”Hehe, let me tell you, you're already on a pirate ship. Even if you think about it now, it's impossible. If you dare disembark, I'll be sure that you're going to snitch!”
”When the time comes, we'll have three blades and six holes. I want to see just how tough your life is …”
”I …” bastard had always been bullying others, he had never been bullied like this before.
”Master Lin!” Aren't you being unreasonable! ” This brat was scratching his head like he was a monkey.
However, he did not dare to disbelieve Old Lin's words, because he knew that the wealth of seventy to eighty thousand taels was enough for two groups of people to fight with everything they had.
With a fortune of a million silver taels, it was only right for an old man like him to be a bit more careful. Nowadays, there were plenty of people who wanted to take advantage of such a large sum of money.
