Chapter 222: Transaction
"This king will let you go!" The king slammed on the table with a "snap", but did not turn around.
Liuzhen was shocked by the sound of the other party slapping the table, she bit her lip tightly, even if the awe and fear of the king in her heart had overflowed from her eyes, she did not flinch half a step.
"Father, if you don't agree to Liuzhen's request, Liuzhen will kneel and die here!" The hands hanging from the sleeves were clenched into fists, and the rounded fingertips were so hard that they punctured the skin and gave birth to pain.
However, it inexplicably gave her courage.
Gu Yanshuo is her only younger brother, she can't watch the other party die in Huangquan!
If she can't save him, she will die with him!
At least, there will be no loneliness on the road to Yellow Springs!
was refuted twice and three times, and the king couldn't help but feel annoyed, because he thought of the queen, his mood changed drastically, and he didn't want others to see his movements, but he met the persistent Liuzhen in his life......
"If you want to kneel, get out and kneel! Don't let the king see you upset! Annoyed, the king almost subconsciously rebuked.
Liuzhen lowered her eyes, felt the slightest coldness of the cold floor invading her knees, and pursed the corners of her lips, "...... Good. β
Kneeling and kneeling, Liuzhen did not retreat because of the king's anger, but walked out of the study and knelt down straight in front of the door of the study.
Almost as soon as she knelt down, Ryujin felt pain in her knees.
The path directly opposite the door of the study happened to be a cobblestone path, and even if you stepped on it with your shoes, you could feel discomfort, let alone your knees.
But. At this time, Liuzhen's eyes were unwavering.
β¦β¦
With a little subtotal, Xuanyuan Qian was mixed into the prison.
"Dangdangβ"
Xuanyuan knocked on the iron lock that locked a cell. Use the sound to wake up the unconscious people who are imprisoned inside because of torture.
ββ¦β¦ Who are you? The voice was hoarse and coughing, and the face of the man in the cell was pale, his eyes were filled with deep darkness, and the prisoner's clothes were ragged and dirty, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
Xuanyuan Qian directly tore off the veil covering his face and said, "It's me." β
"You!?" The man's eyes widened in surprise. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, his face turned even paler, and his tone became eager and nervous. "Sister, how is she?"
He called Liuzhen "Sister".
"If Ryujin hears you call her 'Sister', she will be very happy." Xuanyuan smiled shallowly, her eyes were soft, and there was a soothing power in her soft voice. "Don't worry. Rujin will not be in danger of life. β
Hearing this, Gu Yanshuo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, the king has ordered that Ryuzhen be imprisoned in the princess's mansion." The smile on Xuanyuan's face remained unchanged, but the words he said made Gu Yanshuo frightened, "Do you think that person will let her go?" Even if it's just a princess, it's the queen's child after all. β
Gu Yanshuo's pupils shrank, and the light in his eyes suddenly stirred, as if he was resentful. There are also unwilling, "What can I do at this moment!?" I can't even control my own life or death. How do you protect your sister......"
"You can." Xuanyuan's voice was faint, but it was like a needle that fixed the sea, and it suddenly calmed the panic and uneasiness in Gu Yanshuo's heart.
"If you want, you can not only get out of this cage, but you can also protect Ryujin in that person's hands." Xuanyuan's shallow peach blossom eyes were full of light, and her voice was very soft, as if there was a sinking bewitchment, "As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I can help you." β
Gu Yanshuo's eyes were confused for a moment, "Help me?" β
"Yes." The corners of Xuanyuan's shallow lips were gentle and soft, "As long as you are willing to trade with me." β
In this sentence, she said that the tone focused on "trading" twice.
It was these two words that instantly woke up Gu Yanshuo's heart that was gradually seduced.
"What are you up to?" Gu Yanshuo looked at Xuanyuan Qian vigilantly.
"I'm just a businessman, and all I ask for is the word 'profit'." Xuanyuan smiled gently, took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and threw it to Gu Yanshuo, "This is an ointment for the treatment of trauma, it is colorless and odorless, as long as it is applied to the wound, it will heal in three days." β
Gu Yanshuo caught the porcelain vase, his drooping face lined dark and deep in the shadow of the cell, and he asked, "Then what are you asking for?" β
"The jewelry and jade business of Liuli Country will be fully contracted by me." Xuanyuan's tone was shallow, as if what he said was nothing more than saying something like 'the weather is so nice today'.
Gu Yanshuo's eyes widened, "You ......"
How profitable the jewelry and jade business of Liuli Country is, as a prince, Gu Yanshuo naturally knows.
However, the transportation routes to various countries are not complete, so the economy of Liuli Province has not grown much to this day.
Now, Xuanyuan Qian said so, there must be his own transportation line! Moreover, she has already planned to contract the jewel and jade business of Liuli Country!
"So, the first prince of the Liuli Kingdom, do you want to make a deal with me?" Xuanyuan smiled lightly, and the peach blossom eyes were full of proud confidence, "I can guarantee that you can become the king of the Liuli Kingdom, is this condition tempting enough?" β
Hearing this, Gu Yanshuo's face showed a look of shock, "You...... Do you know what you're talking about!? β
"Of course." Xuanyuan nodded.
"Why do you think I believe you?" Gu Yanshuo still didn't want to believe that a little woman could do what he thought he was talking about at night.
"I don't think there's any benefit in defrauding a worthless prince at this time." Xuanyuan said frankly.
Gu Yanshuo's face was embarrassed, and his expression was dejected.
Sometimes the confessions spoken by a gentle voice hurt even more.
But looking at Xuanyuan's gentle smile that did not change his face, he seemed to be completely ignorant of what he had hurt the other party's pride.
"In that case, why did you want to find me, a down-and-out prince?" Gu Yanshuo sneered, his gaze already darkened.
"Because the other side is not profitable." Xuanyuan Qian was still very frank, "If you win, I will succeed; If you lose, I can still get out of the way. Such a good door-to-door sale, why don't I do it? β
may have sunk to the bottom of his emotions, Gu Yanshuo rarely became calm, and he actually noticed the other party's willingness to help him between listening to Xuanyuan Qian's words.
He frowned, and suddenly remembered that he had secretly sent someone to spy on Xuanyuan Qian, and the other party's performance in the princess's mansion made him can't help but have a guess.
Counterpart...... It can't be that you want to save him for the sake of Ryujin, right?
Thinking of this, the discomfort in his heart deepened.
In the end, he had to rely on Sister A's love to be saved?
"What? Do you want time to think about it? Seeing that the other party did not respond for a long time, Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows, turned around and walked out, and threw down a sentence in a lazy tone, "Then you think about it slowly, I don't have so much patience to wait for your answer here."
