Chapter 95 No one dares to take it lightly
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Lord Chen smiled, but he was feeling very nervous.

At this time, the Buda envoy came over. Xu Luo immediately introduced him enthusiastically: "This is my Great Tang's Minister of War, Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen, this is the Tibetan merchant I told you about, Buda."

The appearance of the Buda envoy made Mr. Chen feel nervous. He was polite, but he knew Buda's identity. A trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, responding politely.

Xu Luo laughed heartily, seeming to have forgotten the majesty of Lord Chen in the court. Lord Chen, although he was somewhat apprehensive about Buda's status, still maintained the dignity of a military minister on the surface. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, his nose was slightly retracted, and his chest was straight, showing the demeanor of an important official in the court.

Xu Luo and the others followed Lord Chen, who was acting like a deputy officer. However, after they met, Xu Luo did not say anything more. They sat in a carriage and went out of the city. The place they were going to was called an armory, but it was not the shabby warehouse as imagined, but a place similar to a military camp. In the military camp, soldiers were training every day, and their main task was to take care of the eliminated guys.

These weapons and armors had already been updated, but even so, no one dared to take it lightly. If there was any mistake, the officials of the Ministry of War would be in trouble.

With Lord Chen leading the way, Xu Luo and his men naturally had no obstacles. The Ministry of War had already handed over a document informing them that someone would come to inspect the weapons today. Therefore, the generals here had already made proper preparations.

As soon as Buda entered the armory, he saw a mountain of weapons and armors. Buda was stunned. He picked up a few pieces and found that they were basically the same as new except for some minor flaws. Some weapons did not even have any damage, as if they were just out of the oven. Such treasures were a huge fortune for Buda. If they could be transported to Tubo, he would make a fortune.

At this moment, the female character who was watching couldn't help but smile gently. A hint of cunning flashed in her eyes. She opened her red lips and joked, "Lord Buda, you don't look like someone who has seen the world." As she spoke, she inadvertently stroked her neck. Her delicate skin looked particularly attractive in the sun, and it seemed that even the air around them became ambiguous because of it.

Bu walked out of the armory with satisfaction, a smug smile on his face, as if he had seen the army's combat power soar. "Haha, with these treasures, unifying the plateau is just a piece of cake!" He said, staring at the cold weapons with fiery eyes.

At this time, Xu Luo and Lord Chen smiled at each other, with a hint of cunning in their smiles. They thought that these weapons could be sold for 100,000 coins, which was beyond their expectations. At this time, Buda jumped out excitedly and announced loudly: "Just 100,000 coins, I want all these weapons!"

Xu Luo smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement in his smile. He looked back at Lord Chen, and his eyes seemed to say, "See, our business is worth it!" Lord Chen knew that the Ministry of War had not had high expectations for these weapons. If they could be sold for 200,000 yuan, it would definitely be an overfulfillment of the task. In this way, the Ministry of War could use the money to buy more advanced equipment.

When Buda saw Xu Luo stretch out a finger, he understood and smiled, "Deal! As long as Lord Chen has no objection, we will make the transaction within three days!" He was secretly delighted in his heart. Most of these weapons and armors were intact, and the price of one hundred thousand coins was basically giving them away for free.

Lord Chen beside him sighed secretly. Although the price was low, it was better than leaving them here. If these weapons were recycled, the Ministry of War would not only fail to recover the cost, but also lose a lot of money. He looked at the weapons and couldn't help but sigh: This is not a good deal. At this time, Buda's eyes flashed with greed, as if he had seen the endless glory those weapons brought him. Lord Chen noticed that every inch of those weapons, from the sharp blades to the smooth wooden handles, was tempting him, forcing him to admit that even if he suffered a loss, this deal was worth it.

Xu Luo and Lord Chen gathered around the weapons, their brows furrowed, thinking. Xu Luo suddenly remembered a joke in the market, saying that someone took old shoes to exchange for new ones, and the store owner actually agreed, and he couldn't help but reveal a sly smile.

"This recycling is no joke. It takes three or five old weapons to forge a new one. What a waste!" Lord Chen said while shaking his head.

The price offered by Buda comforted the two men. Just as they were about to accept it, Xu Luo acted as if he didn't care. He said slowly, "Old Buda, you've been around a lot, what have you not seen? These weapons are enough to equip tens of thousands of Tang lions. They are of high quality, and you have seen it with your own eyes. Calculate how much it would cost to buy them elsewhere. I brought you here today because of my sincerity, but your price really makes me feel uncomfortable."

He paused, glanced at the cold weapons, and then said: "I think it's better not to sell them, but to recycle them and replace them with brand new equipment for my Tang Dynasty men!"

Lord Chen was stunned for a moment, then he understood Xu Luo's intention, and nodded with a wry smile: "Mr. Han is right, one hundred thousand is indeed a little less."

Seeing this, Buda's face changed drastically, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He looked back and forth at those weapons, as if he could see the loss of money from them. He knew very well that if he missed this batch of equipment, he might never encounter such a good opportunity again.

At this moment, the female character beside Xu Luo, Liu'er, gently brushed the hair by her ear, her eyes moving, inadvertently revealing her seductive neck and looming chest, and said lightly: "Lord Buda, why don't you increase the price a little more? As you can see, this batch of weapons is indeed worth the money." Buda was tempted by her and became even more anxious. He knew that if he didn't raise the price, he would probably miss out on this batch of coveted equipment.

Envoy Buda was eager to make the deal with Mr. Han, and asked him for the price with a smile on his face. At this time, Mr. Han's eyes rolled, as if he remembered a funny joke, and he held back his smile. Buda stepped forward impatiently and said sincerely: "Mr. Han, I came here with full sincerity this time. If you think 100,000 yuan is not appropriate, then you can name a price. How much will satisfy you?"

Xu Luo smiled lightly, paused, and exchanged glances with Lord Chen beside him, as if to say, "This time there will be something interesting to watch." Then, he pretended to be serious and quoted a price: "One million yuan!"
