Talking and talking, its all about money again. I was moved for nothing!
You are still that money-grubbing young man, without any change at all!
Mo Rushuang, unhappy, said, Mr. Lin, one million is already a lot of money!
Is one million a lot? Do you know how much silver I spent to research the flying celestial artifact, the Air Balloon?
How much did you spend? Mo Rushuang and Guo Shaoshuai asked in unison.
I spent over two million. I spent over two million to finally invent the Air Balloon! Aside from money, I also exerted countless sweat and hard work! Does Prince think its too much for to ask for one hundred million and want to take away my manufacturing thod, or am I unreasonable?
Is it really that much? Mo Rushuang blinked and asked.
Lin Beifan pointed to the door, You can go out and ask. This is sothing the whole capital knows about! If I didnt dig up 2 million from the treasury, where would we get the Air Balloon we have now?
As Mo Rushuang and Guo Shaoshuai looked at Lin Beifans resolute expression, they believed him.
How about adding a little more? Is 1.5 million enough? Mo Rushuang asked cautiously.
You want to buy it for only 1.5 million? Lin Beifan beca unhappy again.
1.5 million is already not a small amount. You spent that much to save the prince last ti! Guo Shaoshuai said.
Indeed, I only spent 1.5 million to rescue the Eldest Prince! But do you know how much I would have to pay if I gave the manufacturing thod to Prince? Lin Beifan exclaid.
How much? Mo Rushuang asked.
Ill just tell you this. Last ti, to rescue the Eldest Prince, I bribed all the officials with 1.5 million and they supported . Thats the only way I could save the Eldest Prince while still keeping my own life. But this ti, how can I bribe officials? How can I keep my life?
Lin Beifan was extrely unhappy, The Empress has already declared three tis that whoever leaks the manufacturing thod of the national treasure to others, once discovered, would be executed. No one can be saved! The treasury has been cleaned up, so theres no possibility for anyone else to leak it. My path is the only one left! Therefore, if the Prince manufactures the Air Balloon, and the Empress finds out, Ill be dead without a doubt! In other words, Im risking my life to do things for the Prince!
Lin Beifan shook his head, his heart aching as he shouted, The Prince only lost a small amount of money, but what I lost was my entire life! Money can be earned again, but once my life is lost, its gone! Is it wrong for to ask for a little more money? Shouldnt I be asking for more?
Mo Rushuang and Guo Shaoshuai were overwheld and nodded repeatedly, You should, you definitely should.
Lin Beifan continued to be unhappy, I really doubt if Prince is intentionally targeting . Why does he always give such a deadly order? Does he want to die?
How could the Prince want you to die? He just Mo Rushuang could not continue.
Because she also realized that both commands were very life-threatening.
The first command, to save the prince, almost ruined Lin Beifan and cost him everything.
The second command, to obtain the thod of creating the divine artifact air balloon, was a cri punishable by death if exposed. And it seed very easy to expose, making it almost certain to be a death sentence.
In her heart, she blad the prince. Why did he always give such difficult tasks to Lin Beifan? Was it intentional harm?
Guo Shaoshuai reflected on this and also felt that the princes commands were too difficult.
He opened his mouth and said, Mr. Lin, youve worked hard!
Lin Beifan sneered, Im not afraid to tell you that I now suspect the princes intentions, so I must keep sothing in reserve! Only if I have a large sum of money in my hand will he care about and help when my life is at stake! Im just a powerless scholar, everything I do is just for self-preservation, is there anything wrong with that?
Mr. Lin, youre not wrong. Youve done well! At any ti, the most important thing is to protect your life! Mo Rushuang imdiately spoke up.
Mr. Lin, I understand your difficulties, and I fully support you! Guo Shaoshuai also said.
Im glad you can understand! Lin Beifan nodded in relief. Im not unreasonable! If, in the end, it proves that I was overthinking, one day in the future, I will return the money and support the princes cause!
Mo Rushuang looked at Lin Beifans thin shoulders and felt heartache.
As he said, he was just a powerless scholar! However, being in the court and doing only things that could cost him his life was too difficult!
He needed more money just to protect himself!
Because only if he had a lot of money in hand would the prince be unwilling to let him die and help him in a critical mont. Otherwise, he would be left with nothing, both person and wealth.
Was it also for this reason that he had been greedy for money before?
She seed to understand Lin Beifan even more!
Mr. Lin, we will report the situation to the prince in detail. I think he will understand your difficulties! 2 million taels, is that enough? Mo Rushuang said solemnly.
Do you think 2 million taels are enough? Lin Beifan blinked and suddenly felt that Mo Rushuang was funny.
At this ti, Guo Shaoshuai frowned unhappily, Sister, how can you say 2 million taels is enough? Didnt you hear what Mr. Lin said? It cost over 2 million taels to develop this Divine Artifact Air Balloon, so the price must be higher! Besides, Mr. Lin only wants more money for self-preservation, and the more he gets, the safer his life will be. So I think at least 3 million taels!
3 million taels??!! Lin Beifan looked at Guo Shaoshuai, suddenly feeling that this guy was quite handso. How co he didnt realize it before?
Junior Brother, youre right! Mo Rushuang exclaid.
But 3 million taels is too much. The prince may not have that much money. How about we compromise and ask for 2.5 million taels? Mr. Lin is not a greedy person!
Lin Beifan said solemnly, That sounds reasonable. Im grateful for your understanding!
So, they reported the situation to the Prince of Northern Hebei promptly.
When the Prince saw the letter, his face turned pale, and his hands and feet trembled with cold.
Finally, he yelled in anger 2.5 million taels, why dont you just rob ?
Your Highness, what happened? The military adviser Zhuge Liang, who had just arrived, asked cautiously.
See for yourself! The prince tossed the letter over to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang looked at it seriously, his eyelids twitching as he read further, 2.5 million, the price is indeed very high! I thought proposing 1 million would satisfy his appetite, but I seriously underestimated him!
The prince sat on the chair, angrily stating, Advisor, you see it too! Its not that I dont want to give it to him, but Lin Beifan is too greedy. Where do I find so much money to give him?
Zhuge Liang laughed, I completely understand your mood, Your Highness! But I also understand Lin Beifans mood! As the letter said, the two tasks Your Highness assigned him were almost life-threatening! Thats why Lin Beifan beca suspicious and thought that you were targeting him deliberately by asking for more money to protect himself!
Lin Beifan is in the capital, so he has not seen Your Highness heroic aura and noble character, and doesnt trust you. So, he played this little trick! If it were , I would do the sa!
The princes mood eased a little.
Zhuge Liang continued, Thats why my suggestion is to et Lin Beifans demands! Although it will cost so money, we can get the thod for making the flying celestial artifact and gain the loyalty of a top talent. Isnt that worth it?
The prince sighed, But where do I get 2.5 million? Ive already paid 1.5 million a month ago, and I still havent recovered from it! I am truly powerless!
Your Highness, 2.5 million is indeed a lot, but we can tough it out! You should know that all the major princes and dukes want to obtain the thod for making the flying celestial artifact! However, only you have this opportunity. Isnt it worth spending a little more money?
Zhuge Liangs eyes lit up with fanaticism. If we get the flying celestial artifact, our strength will increase rapidly, surpassing other princes, and we will have a better chance to win the Central Plains! By taking control of the Central Plains and becoming emperor, everything we lost before will be regained! Whats the loss of a little money right now?
The prince nodded repeatedly, Advisor, you are absolutely right!
Moreover, Your Highness! This air balloon can transport people into the sky, aning we have the chance to et immortals, and have the opportunity to obtain immortality! Isnt it worth spending a little money?
As soon as the prince thought of his chance to beco immortal, his face turned red with excitent. Advisor, you are absolutely right! As long as we can live forever, its worth spending any amount of money! Since the other party wants money, well give it to him! 2.5 million, compared to the chance of immortality, its not a lot at all!
Your Highness is wise! Zhuge Liang smiled and bowed.
So, the 2.5 million silver notes were quickly handed over to Lin Beifan.
Lin Beifan blinked his eyes, feeling a bit regretful and thinking he could have asked for more. The other party gave in so easily, so they must have more money! This was a super fat lamb that would drip with oil as it walks! Lin Beifan silently told himself to ask for more next ti and not be soft-hearted! The princes kindness was his own cruelty!
The prince, who was dreaming of immortality, suddenly sneezed.
Now that the money has been handed over, what about the thod for making the flying celestial artifact? Mo Rushuang asked.
Ive already prepared it! This is the thod for making the flying celestial artifact, you can give it to the prince! Rember, this is very important and must not be exposed! Lin Beifan took out a docunt and gave them strict instructions.
Mo Rushuang and the other left solemnly with the docunt. After they left, Lin Beifan chuckled to himself.
However, when he turned around, he saw a white figure appear beside him, just like a ghost staring at him intently. The two t eyes, and the proximity almost scared him out of his wits.
Guanyin, cant you do that? Next ti you appear, can you make so noise so I can be ntally prepared? Lin Beifan patted his chest, still frightened.
Guanyin shot him a glance, Didnt you say you were used to it?
That was before. But youve defeated with your new appearance! Dont get too close, its really scary!
Ill keep it in mind! Guanyin said insincerely, But I have a question now, did you really give the thod for making the flying celestial artifact to Prince of Northern Hebei?
