Chapter 261: Threat
Tong Xinrou was pleasantly surprised, got up and walked over......
The side hall of the Shuori Palace, the wind country finally opened.
"Emperor Donglin, when are you going to let us go back?"
Dongfang Qi's voice was indifferent, and Emperor Donglin glanced at the ministers below after listening to Dongfang Qi's words, and said in confusion: "Is His Royal Highness King Qi so anxious?" Could it be that my courtiers didn't take good care of you, His Royal Highness King Qi? ”
King Qi had a cold face, "Your country's hospitality is very thoughtful, but this king plans to return to China, and please make it convenient for the emperor to go to the east." ”
The emperor smiled and said: "Since the hospitality is considerate, why rush back to China?" Why don't you stay a little longer. ”
Donglinhuang's words made King Qi's face darker and darker, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and he couldn't lose his temper with others, only he was the one who suffered, in fact, Donglinhuang was good in other aspects except for restricting his freedom, and he didn't embarrass him, it seemed that he had something to ask for.
"Donglin Emperor, I appreciate your kindness, but this king really wants to go back." King Qi finally slowed down his tone.
Emperor Donglin smiled when he heard this, as if he was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I have some ideas about leaving King Qi in Donglin, hehe, the Wind Country has risen rapidly in recent years, but Donglin is a little unhappy, and natural and man-made disasters have occurred one after another......"
King Qi heard what Emperor Donglin had to say, and asked impatiently directly: "What does Emperor Donglin want to say?" Don't beat around the bush. ”
The emperor smiled, "Since His Royal Highness King Qi has asked so, I will say it directly, Donglin has been in a tight treasury recently, and you also know that we have to fight against the barbarians, and the grain, grass, and military salaries are all directly from the treasury, and the treasury is shy in its pocket, so I want to borrow a sum of silver from the Wind Country to replenish the treasury." ”
Some of the ministers of the court and the central government did not think of this, and their eyes widened when they heard the words of their emperor, but they quickly came back to their senses, and their emperor wanted to ...... Go on the scamp?
Everyone guessed correctly, the emperor was threatening, King Qi didn't expect that Emperor Donglin would say it so blatantly, frowning to death, "Emperor Donglin also has a heart." King Qi gritted his teeth, but the other party was still smiling unhurriedly, and even replied, "Where, where." ”
King Qi frowned, gritted his teeth, and was a little unwilling in his heart, but he still slowed down his tone, "Donglin is a neighbor of the Wind Country, what can naturally be communicated with the Wind Country, and the silver that rushes to the treasury is naturally discussed, but I don't know how much the Donglin Emperor needs?" ”
Donglin Huang smiled and said two words, "Happy!" Immediately stretched out five fingers, King Qi frowned, and asked tentatively: "Five million taels?" "I was relieved in my heart, although it was a loss to give Donglin five million taels of silver for no reason, but when I returned to China, I would get it back with interest!
But he guessed wrong, Emperor Donglin shook his head, and King Qi was angry, "Could it be that you want 50 million taels of silver?" ”
Emperor Donglin shook his head again, and said under the shocked expressions of the ministers, "It's 50 million taels of gold." ”
Gold! That's multiplied!
King Qi's face was ugly, and the ministers of Donglin were also full of surprise, that was 50 million gold! Is this to drain the old capital of the Wind Country? couldn't help but look at the emperor with a little more reverence in their eyes.
King Qi had a gloomy face, "Impossible! Donglin Emperor, don't go too far! ”
The smile on Donglinhuang's face faded slightly, and he just lightly picked up his wine glass, "The words have already been placed here, do you want to do it, His Royal Highness King Qi still thinks about it, don't refuse so quickly, the longer you stay in Donglin, the more turbulent the Wind Country will become." ”
* Naked threats! After speaking, he raised his glass to everyone with a meaningful smile, King Qi slapped the table in front of him fiercely, and strode away.
Murong Wenbin on the side did not change his face, but Mo Lan frowned, and secretly said bad in his heart.
King Qi returned to the reception, angrily threw everyone back, and then asked people to inform Mo Lan to come over, Mo Lan just left the side hall, so he went directly to King Qi, King Qi saw him coming, his eyes were irrepressible anger, "You said you could help me!" Now how can you help! ”
Mo Lan frowned, "I'm afraid it's not so simple this time, my father clearly wants money, and the chips are you, His Royal Highness King Qi." ”
King Qi frowned, and suddenly stepped forward to stare at Mo Lan, his face was fierce, Mo Lan stood straight, did not retreat half a minute, glared at him for a while, King Qi restrained his expression, and took a deep breath, "It's okay to give money, but 50 million taels of gold is too much, absolutely impossible!" Do you have a way to get me out? ”
Mo Lan shook his head, "His Royal Highness King Qi, if it were you, would you let a moving cash cow run wild?" I can't send you out, there must be heavy guards around, a small capital, and my father is absolutely guarding it. ”
Mo Lan opened his mouth coldly, directly breaking King Qi's thoughts, King Qi snorted coldly, his right hand rose and fell, and the table at hand split into several pieces.
King Qi turned his head to look at Mo Lan, his eyes were gloomy, but he had calmed down a little, "Then what do you say?" ”
Mo Lan thought for a while, "The silver must be given, I can go and plead with my father to see if I can give less." ”
King Qi snorted coldly, "Then that's it, this king is waiting for your news." ”
Mo Lan nodded and left, and the black dragon next to him appeared, "Your Highness, why should we compromise, it is better to arrest this Lan King, and the subordinates will not believe that the Donglin Emperor will disregard the safety of his son and seize the Lan King as a bargaining chip, and the Donglin Emperor will definitely not dare to take us as a bargaining chip." ”
King Qi frowned, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and he looked at the black dragon in a warning tone, "You'd better dispel this idea for this king, King Lan can't touch it, you remember it for this king!" ”
King Qi's eyes were too cold, and Heilong felt a little nervous, so he quickly nodded obediently, "The subordinates understand, the subordinates will not touch him." ”
"Hmph, go out, this king wants to rest." King Qi snorted coldly and turned around, and directly issued an eviction order, the black dragon didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly went out, and closed the door by the way.
Mo Lan walked out of the reception office, glanced back at the door, and impatience flashed in his eyes, I'm afraid it's not so easy to do this time, this matter can't be done well, I'm afraid that the line with King Qi will be broken, and his father seems to want to take the opportunity to blackmail Fengguo for a sum of money, so it's better for him to think of countermeasures in advance.
King Qi can't take this line, Tao Li'er has to step up, if it really can't work...... Mo Lan suddenly thought of Tong Xinrou, who accosted him in Qianbaiwei yesterday, the second miss of Tongfu, a scheming woman.
He had also tried to win him over before, but he was pretending not to know, and she was married to Mo Li's quasi-princess, so his idea at the time was to arrange a chess piece by Mo Li's side.
