With Jiang Xia's token in hand, Jiang Bin and the others walked out of the city gate very smoothly. After leaving the city, they chose to continue on land, so they did not stop all the way and rushed for nearly three hours in one go. In the end, they were really tired from seeing the horses, so Jiang Bin and the others stopped to rest.

The spacious official road Jiang Bin and the others naturally dared not walk, so they all walked along the path. At this moment, the carriage stopped beside a stream. Jiang Bin used his true energy to kill many fish in the river. He chose a few of the largest ones and fished them up and roasted them directly.

While grilling fish, Jiang Xia sat closer to Sima Xiangxiang. He smiled and asked Sima Xiangxiang: "What? I encountered something troublesome, so I was unhappy?"

Sima Xiangxiang glanced at Jiang Xia, moved her body aside, and did not speak.

Jiang Xia was not angry either and smiled faintly, "If I was not wrong, you should be trapped by love. I see that every time you secretly look at Jiang Bin, your eyes are first tender, and then filled with sadness and resentment. It seems that Jiang Bin should have let you down, which made you shake and question this relationship. Girl, should you listen to my opinion?"

Sima Xiangxiang looked straight ahead, without saying a word at the beginning. But after waiting for about ten breaths, Sima Xiangxiang finally turned her head and looked at Jiang Xia. She asked, "He saved my life. I should do whatever he asked me to do, so shouldn't I blame him?"

Jiang Xia shook her head and asked Sima Xiangxiang back: "If you have to do what you don't like to do when you are alive, why do you choose to live? It's better to die and end it all, right?"

Sima Xiangxiang was slightly stunned and looked at Jiang Xia blankly. Jiang Xia said, "There are many kinds of kindness to repay a person. It does not mean that if someone saves you, you will become his private property. I think what you should understand most now is your feelings for Jiang Bin.

Are you just grateful to him or like him very much? If you really like him, then you still need to figure out whether such a man is worthy of your liking?"

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he stopped talking. At this moment, Jiang Bin had already roasted the fish. He walked to Jiang Xia with a wooden root and handed the fish to him: "Come on, eat the fish."

Jiang Xia took the roasted carp and looked at Jiang Bin and said, "This fish is probably valuable. I think I'd better figure out if I can afford this fish first."

"I want 500 million taels of silver to make the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, that's that simple." When Jiang Bin said this, his tone did not cause any turmoil. It seemed that what he wanted was not 500 million taels of silver, but five taels of broken silver.

After hearing this, Jiang Xia shook his head with a smile. The Ming Dynasty is indeed richer than every emperor before when he was in power. But the surplus silver in the entire treasury was only about 30 million taels of silver.

If Jiang Xia really agreed to give it, the entire Ming Baochao system would collapse immediately. Today, the Ming Dynasty's dependence on Baochao can basically be said to be the Ming Baochao system collapsed, and the Ming Dynasty's currency system basically collapsed.

Jiang Xia didn't pay attention to Jiang Bin anymore, but picked up the grilled fish and tore a piece of fish in his mouth, and then said to Jiang Bin's master Shi Potian: "Senior, I, Jiang Xia, have no grudges with you in the past and have no grudges recently, but in fact you don't have to go against me at all. I don't know what Jiang Bin is doing to you, but in fact, as long as you choose to be my Jiang Xia's friend, one of my Daxia dynasty national masters is yours.

Anyway, as long as you nod, I guarantee that you will enjoy endless wealth from the beauty. And you don’t have to worry about me breaking my promise, because I will go to the Northern Expedition next. I am eager to seek talents like you. As long as you are willing to help me, I will treat you with the courtesy of a national teacher.”

"Jiang Xia! What do you mean? If you talk nonsense again, I will kill you immediately if you believe it or not?" Jiang Bin frowned, and his whole body was filled with coldness.

Jiang Xia smiled and shrugged, and said with certainty: "With your relationship with me, if you were willing to kill me, you would have done it long ago, so how could you keep me until now?

Last time in Jizhou Prefecture, the armor that I killed your 100,000 troops will not be left. If nothing unexpected happens, the Tatars will not have a place to stay. Unless... you can compensate the chiefs of the Tatars for the losses.

In the past, Xiao Qing, Wang Jin, Yuan Hanqiu and others were there, and you might still hope for them, hoping that they could help you. But now Xiao Qing is dead, and Wang Jin and Yuan Hanqiu have both turned to me. So I have become your last hope. If you can't get what you want from me, then I dare say that the world is great, but there is really no place for you."

"Clang!" Jiang Bin pulled out the short sword from the scabbard. He pointed the tip of the sword at Jiang Xia's throat and said coldly: "Although you are right, don't forget. Only when you give me what you want can I save your life. If you can't give me what I want, I will definitely not show mercy to you."

"I naturally know this. But in my opinion, it's like a business. The price you offer is 500 million silver to buy my life. I think it's expensive, so I can naturally consider asking my seniors for the price to see if I can buy my life at a relatively cheap price.

If the senior is unwilling, I will naturally have to pay 500 million silver to buy mine. But if the senior agrees, wouldn’t I make a profit? In short, all this depends on the senior, and of course, the senior doesn’t have to answer me immediately. Anyway, if you think clearly, you can kill Jiang Bin at any time. I, Jiang Xia, use my throne to swear that everything I said before will be fulfilled. If there is a half discount, I will definitely not die a bad death!"

Jiang Xia's fallacies made Jiang Bin feel very powerless. He turned his head and looked at Shi Potian. Shi Potian didn't react for a while. After he reacted, he opened his mouth and laughed loudly.

Shi Potian clapped his hands and said, "Excellent, wonderful! You are the first person I have ever seen when you can make the plan of separation so openly and so effective."

After saying that, Shi Potian looked at Jiang Bin and asked, "How is it? Good disciple, do you believe it or not?"

"Of course, my disciple believes in the master." Jiang Bin replied without hesitation.

Shi Potian nodded and said, "Since your disciple believes in me, then you will drive the carriage on the road and let your master take care of him."

"How can you bother Master for such a small matter? It's better to let your disciple take care of him." Jiang Bin refused Shi Potian without hesitation.

Shi Potian smiled at the sky again. His laughter became louder and louder. Finally, his stomach hurts a little while even smiling, as if he was about to roll on the ground with his stomach in his arms. Shi Potian pointed to Jiang Bin and said, "No wonder you have fought with this person until now and ended up like this. In terms of strategy and martial arts, you are not inferior to him. But in terms of courage, people don't know how much they are better than you. Since you don't dare to truly believe in being a teacher, why should you choose to take risks with the wealth and honor that you can get at your fingertips?"

"Master, what do you mean?" Jiang Bin took the short sword in his hand away from Jiang Xia's throat, and pointed the short sword at the ground. Jiang Bin stared at Shi Potian. For a moment, most of Jiang Bin was alert, but instead went to Shi Potian.
