Chapter 96 Otherwise Who Would Spend This Money?
"Ah?" Envoy Buda and Lord Chen were petrified instantly, looking at each other in bewilderment, like grass blown by a gust of wind. Envoy Buda's eyes widened, thinking that Xu Luo was joking? One million dollars, it was simply a fantasy! Lord Chen next to him was also shocked, secretly wondering, could it be that Mr. Han didn't understand the deal? But when they thought of Du Ruhui's order, neither of them dared to say a word.

The Buda envoy was suspicious, but could only complain inwardly. The price was ridiculously high. No matter how good these second-hand equipment were, they were not worth the price. He glanced at Lord Chen beside him, and saw that he was also surprised and suspicious, as if he had seen something incredible. Lord Chen thought to himself, does Mr. Han think that all Tibetans are stupid and rich? Unless the Buda envoy was hot-headed, who would spend this money?

Although the two adults had thousands of questions in their minds, they could only swallow their words when facing Xu Luo. After all, they still remembered Du Ruhui's instructions before coming. At this time, the Buda envoy glanced at Xu Luo and saw that he looked indifferent, as if the one million yuan was just a joke. This made the Buda envoy feel very nervous and he didn't know what to do.

Mr. Chen gave the deal to Mr. Han, and he stayed by his side to learn more. He was thinking that he should learn a few tricks from Mr. Han, as they might be useful in the future. But at the moment, Mr. Chen was worried and shook his head secretly. The price Mr. Han offered, one million yuan for those second-hand goods, was too outrageous. He even began to wonder if even Du Ruhui had overestimated the young Mr. Han.

Xu Luo naturally didn't know what Lord Chen was thinking, but he could guess a rough idea from the changes in his facial expression. He smiled gently and said slowly, "Old Bu, don't think I'm trying to trick you. In this world, wars are raging. Not to mention the distant ones, just on your plateau, do you think that only Tubo came to pay homage to our Tang emperor? Wrong! But I heard that before your envoys came, people from other tribes had already been waiting at the gate of the Tang." He paused, and a shrewd smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "They are all seeking assistance from the Tang Dynasty, and they also promised that as long as they can destroy you Tubo, they are willing to surrender."

At this time, the female character Du Ruhui beside her raised her eyebrows slightly, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and her lips slightly lifted up, as if she agreed with Xu Luo's words. Her neck tilted gracefully, and her chest rose and fell slightly with her laughter. Her confidence and seductiveness were inadvertently revealed, making people unable to help but look at her a few more times.

Xu Luo raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of teasing, "Sir Chen, tell me, what would our Emperor be more interested in?" As he spoke, he cleverly threw a big trouble to Sir Chen like a magic trick.

"If you don't believe me, you might as well ask this Lord Chen." Lord Chen was caught off guard by this sudden "gift" and secretly complained in his heart, "How come I didn't get any news about this?" But he pretended to be calm, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to take on this hot potato.

Lord Chen rolled his eyes and revealed an unfathomable smile, "Mr. Han is absolutely right. This matter was originally the top secret of our Tang Dynasty, but Mr. Buda and Mr. Han are close friends, so there is no need for me to hide it."

Buda was stunned. He thought this pilgrimage was a simple task, but Xu Luo's behavior made him completely confused. Xu Luo was not just talking casually. He had already anticipated the little calculations of Songtsen Gampo and the Tubo officials. In order to avoid them taking the lead, he deliberately led the topic.

At this moment, the female character next to her pursed her lips slightly, her eyes showing a hint of cunning, as if she had seen through it all. Her neck was gracefully bent, her chest trembled slightly with her laughter, and the seductiveness that was inadvertently revealed made everyone present unable to help but take a few more glances.

Buda looked at everything in front of him with great anxiety in his heart. He originally just wanted to test the attitude of the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect to be outwitted. The waters of the Tang Dynasty were much deeper than he had imagined.

Buda cursed inwardly, thinking that Songtsen Gampo's bad words might have come true. He imagined that people from other tribes had come to pick weapons like picking carrots in a vegetable market, and he felt angry.

"Buda, there's something I have to tell you," Xu Luo said, with an air of enjoying a good show, the smile on his face impossible to hide, "your brothers from the plateau are really generous. They didn't even blink an eye to offer 800,000 yuan just to find out the whereabouts of these weapons." "800,000 yuan?" Buda's voice rose a few notches, and his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Those guys, how could they just lack food and clothing? What they lacked were horses that could gallop on the plateau and weapons that could cut through iron like mud. If they were allowed to arm themselves first and their combat power increased greatly, then the situation of Tubo would be worrying.

Buda was torn between his own conscience and his own desires. On one hand, he had money in his pocket, which might help him realize his dream of unifying the plateau sooner; on the other hand, he was unwilling to watch these weapons become weapons in the hands of others.

The images of those plateau women appeared in his mind, their eyes were rolling, their lips were slightly parted, as if tempting him to make a choice. But he knew that behind this choice, it was not only the weight of money, but also the game of power.

Buda's brows were twisted into a "川" shape, and his face became increasingly gloomy and ugly, just like a sudden storm on the plateau. He pondered for a long time, and the balance in his heart was wavering.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, bringing with it the freshness and chill of the plateau, as if reminding him that as the leader of Tubo, every decision was related to the future of the tribe. His eyes fell on a woman involuntarily - she had a slender neck, skin as white as mutton fat jade, and her chest rose and fell gently with her breathing. The temptation was like a war drum, stirring his determination. But Buda knew that all the temptations of beauty in front of him were not as heavy as the great cause of unifying the plateau.

"Xu Luo, how is your relationship with Buda?"

Xu Luo was slightly stunned, as if he was tripped by this question. "Well, how should I put it? Although we are not close friends, we are closer than strangers. We are business partners after all."

"Since we are partners, why do you treat me like this? Have I, Buda, done anything wrong to you?" There was a hint of seriousness and doubt in Buda's tone.

Hearing this, Xu Luo's eyes widened with an innocent look. "Old Bu, what are you talking about? When have I ever treated you unfairly?"

"They offer 800,000, and you sell it, and I offer a million? Isn't this clearly a scam?" Buda frowned and asked seriously.
