Chapter 987: Struggle for Power
The last time Shen Qingqian came to Chenzhou was when he passed by here on his way to exile. His mood was completely different each time he came here.
"Will King Zhao agree?" Shen Qingqian asked after returning to the Shadow Guard Division's base in Chenzhou.
She had asked this question before, but after seeing Zhao Ling's reaction today, she still wanted to confirm it again.
Before Shengze could speak, Shenchen answered the question.
"Sixth Miss, they will definitely agree," Chen Chen said with a confident smile. "I just inquired, and the situation inside Prince Zhao's mansion is not completely stable. The conflict between Prince Zhao Ling and Prince Zhao Bing has been getting more serious. If my guess is correct, Zhao Bing's men will come knocking on our door soon."
Sheng Ze nodded. "The Shadow Guards have heard even more specific information about this matter. It's said that Zhao Ling and Zhao Bing have been at odds for a long time, and that Princess Zhao and his concubines are also fighting openly and secretly in the backyard. If we take advantage of this, we might be able to reap some extra rewards this time."
As they were talking, someone came to report that Zhao Bing, the second son of Prince Zhao's mansion, wanted to see him.
Sheng Ze and Shen Chen looked at each other, both with a faint smile on their faces. Sheng Ze said, "Second Young Master, please go to the study and wait for a moment."
Shen Qingqian blinked, "You're here so soon."
Was the fight for the throne so fierce in ancient times? They had just come out of Prince Zhao's Mansion in Chenzhou not long ago.
"Do you want to go and take a look together?" Sheng Ze looked at her lovingly.
Shen Qingqian nodded repeatedly, "Of course!"
She wanted to see what the second young master wanted to do by coming here, to disrupt the deal or to intercept it.
Zhao Bing stood in the study, looking around, wondering when such a family appeared in Chenzhou or whether Liang Cheng had been planning Chenzhou for a long time.
The Shadow Guard Division's base in Chenzhou was located in an inconspicuous alley. At that time, they bought five connected houses in the alley, and then had the Shadow Guard Division's masters redesign and renovate them.
Of course, you can’t see anything from the outside. Only by coming in can you discover the secrets inside.
With Zhao Bing's vision, he could only think that this place was arranged by Liang Cheng.
Not long after, Shen Chen came over with Sheng Ze, Shen Qingqian and others.
As a businessman, Shen Chen naturally would not be cold to the guests who came to his door. He greeted Zhao Bing warmly and then got straight to the point. "I wonder why the second young master came to see us?"
Zhao Bing smiled faintly, "I heard that Boss Shen wants to do business with our Zhao Wang Mansion. I also happen to have a business deal to discuss. Why don't you listen to my business first?"
Shen Shen looked surprised, but still raised his hand and said, "Second Young Master, please speak."
"I heard people say that the Hubei Northern Army has new weapons. I have been interested in various weapons since I was a child, and I am really curious. Since you want to sell weapons, why not sell some to me?" Zhao Bing still had a faint smile on his face, like a mask.
Shen Shen raised his eyebrows and said, "Second Master, as long as you have weapons, how many do you want?"
"How much is okay?" Zhao Bing asked back.
Shen Shen chuckled, "That depends on the quantity the Second Young Master wants and the price he's willing to pay."
Zhao Bing stretched out his hand and made a five.
"Five hundred," Shenchen asked tentatively.
Zhao Bing scoffed, "Five thousand."
Who do you look down upon by five hundred?
Shen Chen glanced at Sheng Ze imperceptibly, and the latter nodded slightly. Shen Chen said, "Five thousand is not a small amount. Is the Second Young Master sure that he can take so much?"
Five thousand means the second son has at least three thousand private soldiers. Not to mention how he feeds these people, if he wants to buy five thousand weapons, he is not afraid of not being able to afford the money.
