Seeing Ye Qiu's money-grubbing expression, Liang Qianqiu couldn't help but laugh coldly in his heart. However, his face was filled with a joyous smile.
After a while, Liang Qianqiu suddenly heaved a heavy sigh.
Ye Qiu sneered in his heart, then pretended to be confused and asked,"Why is Minister Liang sighing for no reason?"
" I'm just feeling sorry for you, Master Ye," Liang Qianqiu hurriedly said." With your capabilities, you should be second only to one person and above ten thousand others. I didn't expect Li Tang to send troops to attack you again and again."”
Ye Qiu smiled faintly. He already knew why Liang Qianqiu was here. He sighed and said,"Who says so?"”
"Since the Great Tang can't tolerate you, why don't you find another job?”Liang Qianqiu said.
Ye Qiu pretended not to understand and asked,"Find another job? What do you mean?"
"To be honest, I have come under the orders of His Majesty to invite you to our Liang Country. His Majesty said that as long as you are willing to go to our Liang Country, the position of Grand Marshal will be yours. He also said that he is willing to share the world with you.”Liang Qianqiu said.
"Are you saying that I'm an anti-Tang?" Ye Qiu said indifferently.
Liang Qianqiu laughed heartily." A straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations. Clan Leader Ye, your defeat of Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong has already caused an irreconcilable feud with the Great Tang. This time, you've also given Li Chengqian a good thrashing.
Li Tang has no place for you anymore. It would be better to work together with His Majesty and conspire against the world. My family's Emperor has a lot of respect for Master Ye.”
Ye Qiu sighed." How could I not know what Minister Liang said? However, I'm weak. If I rebel against the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid I'll be annihilated by the Tang Dynasty's army in an instant."”
"To rebel against the Tang Empire, we need to raise an army. To raise an army, we need to recruit soldiers, and to recruit soldiers, we need money.”Ye Qiu said.
Liang Qianqiu's eyes lit up.
"Leader Ye, how much silver do you lack now?”Liang Qianqiu hurriedly asked.
"Right now, I have less than 10,000 soldiers. If I want to fight against Li Tang, I need at least 100,000 soldiers. To recruit these 100,000 soldiers, I still need two million taels.”Ye Qiu said.
Liang Qianqiu laughed heartily." It seems that you have been dissatisfied with the Great Tang for a long time. Our Daliang Empire is willing to pay for this two million taels of silver, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us.”
"I'm willing, I'm willing." Ye Qiu quickly said.
Liang Qianqiu laughed heartily." That's settled then. I'll go back and prepare the silver now. When the silver arrives, I hope that you can join us in the uprising. When the time comes, we'll send troops to Chang 'an to relieve your hatred.”
"It's settled then."
After the discussion, Liang Qianqiu left smugly.
Truthfully, Liang Qianqiu hadn't expected this negotiation to be so easy. Getting Ye Qiu for two million taels was truly a great deal.
Perhaps two million taels for one person was indeed a little extravagant, but Ye Qiu still had Guangyang County.
Liang Qianqiu was extremely pleased with himself as he walked back.
When the time came, Liang Qianqiu would be the one to take credit for the destruction of the world.
In the King Guangyang Mansion, Ye Qiu smiled faintly as he watched Liang Qianqiu and the others leave.
"Chief, did you really promise Liang Qianqiu that you would rebel against the Tang Empire? That Liang Shidu wasn't a good person.”
Old Tie Cheng asked uneasily after Liang Qianqiu left.
Although he was a mountain bandit, he still considered himself a Tang. He could fight against the Great Tang, but he couldn't help an outsider fight against the Great Tang.
He was extremely convinced by Ye Qiu. He was truly afraid that Ye Qiu would cooperate with Liang Shidu, that Turkic lackey.
"Second Leader, what is the slogan of our Autumn Wind Stronghold?" Ye Qiu laughed.”
"Chief, don't always make me shout slogans. That slogan makes me a little shy.”Old Tie Cheng quickly said.
"Come on, come on, let's do it again.”Ye Qiu said.
Old Tie Cheng quickly stopped and shouted seriously,"Bandits have to be good and do it well. They have to report every day.”
Old Tie Cheng felt extremely ashamed after saying this. He was a little embarrassed that a man had shouted such a slogan.
"Second Leader, it seems that you still haven't forgotten your original intentions.”Ye Qiu laughed.
This slogan was taught to the bandits when Ye Qiu first entered Autumn Wind Stronghold. It had no special meaning and was purely a prank.
However, as the mountain bandits became convinced by Ye Qiu, this slogan became the slogan of Autumn Wind Stronghold.
Old Tie Cheng felt a little embarrassed.
"Second Leader, as a mountain bandit, you will never complain about having too much money.”Ye Qiu said.
"But once we get the money, do we really have to rebel against the Tang Empire?”Old Tie Cheng asked.
Ye Qiu shook his head." Brother, I'll teach you another lesson today. The most important quality of a mountain bandit is to refuse to do what you're paid to do. You'll turn your back on me, and your skin will be thicker than the city walls." Once the money is in our pockets, it's ours.”
"Moreover, we are no longer the same as before. The entire Guangyang County is in our hands. What do we need to let the people of Guangyang County live a happy and healthy life?
What we lack now is money. I don't have money, and you don't have money either. Where will the money come from? If someone gave us money, why wouldn't we want it? I want whatever he gives me.”
Old Tie Cheng immediately understood. At the same time, he was relieved. He couldn't help but give Ye Qiu a thumbs up.
"This subordinate has learned from Chief's wisdom.”
Then, the eldest and second brothers of Autumn Wind Stronghold laughed loudly in the Lord Guangyang's Mansion at the same time.
