Chapter 315: Zhao Lingmeng sells the gold-threaded soft armor in the armory to Wen Yuanhou
Zhao Lingmeng already had a choice in mind, so when she saw Mr. Jin's curious look, she said directly, "How about selling it to Marquis Wenyuan?"
"Marquis Wenyuan is a good candidate, but as far as I know, Your Highness, don't you have a grudge against Marquis Wenyuan?" Lord Liu felt that it was not necessary to sell Marquis Wenyuan, and there could be other candidates!
"Don't count! I only have a grudge against his son, so I'll sell him for a higher price! It's mainly because Marquis Wenyuan benefited from being the commander-in-chief this time!"
Lord Jin sincerely admired Princess Funing. At a time like this, being able to separate personal grudges from the greater good was truly remarkable. Many people couldn't do this: "Your Highness, you are so righteous!"
Zhao Lingmeng was about to say something else when someone outside announced, "Marquis Wenyuan and General Zhao have arrived."
Zhao Lingmeng could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, while Lord Jin and General Liu stood behind Zhao Lingmeng tacitly, waiting for Marquis Wenyuan's arrival.
When Wen Yuanhou and Zhao Anwei entered, the first thing they saw was Zhao Lingmeng standing in the front row. They were both stunned. Wen Yuanhou was in disbelief, with all kinds of thoughts running through his mind.
Some of the closest associates who had come with Marquis Wenyuan and Zhao Anwei were also startled by Zhao Lingmeng's presence. Although Zhao Lingmeng was the eldest princess of Funing, women were not allowed in the military camps. Although this was the military equipment camp, the fact that she could break this rule was enough to surprise them.
Wen Yuanhou's first reaction was to look at Zhao Anwei next to him. When he saw that Zhao Anwei was also surprised, his doubts were greatly dispelled.
Lord Jin and General Liu felt a little more at peace when they saw Marquis Wenyuan and General Zhao lose their composure. You see, anyone would lose their composure the first time they met Princess Funing, so it was no wonder they lost their composure.
Marquis Wenyuan and Zhao Anwei had both been through many storms, so even if they were surprised, it only took a moment for them to react. They immediately knelt and saluted, "Your servants greet Princess Funing."
Zhao Lingmeng was still able to remain calm in such an occasion. "Marquis Wenyuan and General Zhao, please stand up! This matter is urgent, let's get straight to the point!"
After Zhao Lingmeng finished speaking, he asked General Liu to hand over the registration book of weapons that could be given to them this time to Wenyuan Hou.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Marquis Wenyuan stood up and realized that General Liu and Lord Jin were both standing behind Zhao Lingmeng, clearly favoring Princess Funing. Furthermore, she could command General Liu at will, and General Liu had no complaints. Marquis Wenyuan's heart was already in turmoil.
But Wenyuan Hou remained calm as he took the booklet and checked it carefully. He found that it was much better than he expected, but there was still room for discussion.
"Your Highness, can you please have more weapons and arrows?"
"These are all we have in our weapons camp right now. You guys go ahead and we'll make some and send them to you. But the weapons of Jing Nation are different now, they're all of very high quality. When you clean up the battlefield, try to recover all the weapons and arrows.
All your lost and battle damages must be registered. Wenyuan Hou should understand this as someone who often loses weapons.
Furthermore, any enemy weapons you capture must be carefully stored and brought back for re-melting. The amount of your spoils of war will also determine the amount of your weapons."
"This..." Marquis Wenyuan had fought in so many battles, but had never seen weapons being registered. He could only look at Lord Jin and General Liu.
Seeing that Lord Jin and General Liu also looked in agreement, Wenyuan Hou could only respond with a "Yes!" Otherwise, what should he do? The follow-up still depends on the military equipment battalion!
"Since Marquis Wenyuan agrees, please sign the booklet, stamp it with your fingerprint, and seal it. Then General Liu will take you to the warehouse to move the weapons."
Marquis Wenyuan was a cautious man and it was impossible for him to sign before receiving the goods. "Your Highness, I would like to order the weapons first."
"Alright, General Liu, take your men over! Remember to sign, fingerprint, and stamp everything. The witnesses nearby must also sign."
"Your Highness, please rest assured that I will do the job!" After General Liu made his promise, he made a gesture of invitation to Marquis Wenyuan.
Marquis Wenyuan also bowed to Zhao Lingmeng and prepared to follow General Liu. Then Zhao Lingmeng remembered that there was still something he hadn't sold!
"Marquis Wenyuan, I'll sell you a piece of soft armor for 50,000 gold. Do you want it?"
When Lord Jin heard His Highness's offer, his eyes lit up. If it could be sold for 50,000 gold, he was more than willing to expend the manpower and resources to create this soft armor. Without Zhao Lingmeng's instructions, Lord Jin immediately sent his confidant to the warehouse to fetch the soft armor. "Marquis Wenyuan is the God of Wealth!" He couldn't let him get away.
Zhao Anwei, standing nearby, could barely contain his expression. He thought about the soft armor he was wearing underneath. Sure enough, his younger sister had shown some mercy to him. Fifty thousand gold was a huge sum he couldn't even come up with.
"Soft armor, 20,000 gold?" Although Wenyuan Hou was a little surprised, it was okay. He could still afford 50,000 gold. It just depended on whether it was worth the price.
Zhao Lingmeng nodded and said, "It's a fixed price. You can bargain."
Originally, Marquis Wenyuan wasn't particularly interested, but seeing Princess Funing's assurance piqued his interest. If there truly were a powerful soft armor, it would be like having an extra life in a critical moment. Fifty thousand gold wouldn't be out of the question.
Wen Yuanhou didn't have to wait long before the person with the soft armor returned. Zhao Lingmeng gestured and handed it to Wen Yuanhou.
Marquis Wenyuan took it and opened it. He saw that it was woven with gold and silver threads. "May I try it?"
"As you wish!" Zhao Lingmeng was completely satisfied with Wenyuan Hou's request to inspect the goods. Although her prices were expensive, they were definitely not fake.
Wenyuan Hou immediately put the soft armor on the ground, drew out his sword, and chopped at it. He saw that there was no sign of it breaking at all. He felt like he had found a treasure.
"Your Highness, I want this soft armor! I will have someone send the gold to the military equipment camp later." Marquis Wenyuan immediately put it in his arms happily, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it from him.
Zhao Lingmeng nodded. She wasn't afraid of Marquis Wenyuan shirking his responsibility, but she wouldn't hesitate to give him the necessary warnings. "Don't be too happy yet, Lord Wen. You still need to wear regular armor over this soft armor. This soft armor won't protect you from any force. Do you understand?"
"Hahahaha, Your Highness, I understand this. It's easy to get internal injuries! I'll be very satisfied if you can prevent external injuries."
Wenyuan Hou was truly delighted. This was like having an extra life, at some point. He felt even more confident about this expedition. Who would want to die when they could live and enjoy the glory?
