Wang Song was at a loss for words. Wang Xin was determined to use the special privileges of the Special Envoy to coerce Qi Tian into going to the dangerous borderland for the mission. After a moment, Wang Song said, "Name your price. What will it take for you not to conscript Qi Tian to the border?"
Wang Xin chuckled, "Lord Wang, serving at the border is a duty to the nation and people, not a transaction. I, Wang Xin, have been deeply favored by the emperor and am dedicated to public service. How could I possibly disregard the law for personal gain in this matter?"
"Three hundred spirit stones." Wang Song didn't believe for a second that Wang Xin was completely incorruptible and made a direct offer.
Wang Xin replied, "Not possible. As I said, this is not a transaction."
"Five hundred."
Wang Xin continued shaking his head.
