Chapter 59 Transactions
When I met Ethan, the third prince was still a pitiful little boy whose father didn't care for his mother's early death, and he struggled to survive in the slave pile every day.
Ethan-Mo - although it is not so miserable, but he really left his homeland and was forced to live in a small border country like Kunju, and continued to supervise the production of drunkenness and serve his master.
As a foreign merchant with a clue to his identity, Ethan naturally chose the small island sandwiched between Wuge and Kunji, while the third prince was trapped in survival and ran here incognito to make a living.
These two people who can't hit each other with eight poles are on the line like this.
With Ethan's support, the third prince soon rose to prominence among the princes of Kunji, and took advantage of his newly acquired rights to find a piece of land for planting Qingling flowers; And Ethan hung up the identity of the king's close minister through the line of Queen Wuge, revealing a little bit of Kunju's actions from time to time, and after winning trust, he took the opportunity to circle a piece of land.
The two of them are bright and dark, and when Qinglinghua reaches the harvest season, they don't stop urging people to get drunk, and then they turn back to Qiguo through the doorway provided by Ethan to make private profits.
It's a win-win situation for all.
It's a pity that after a few years like this, both the third prince and Ethan have gradually been raised and began to think about ways to further expand the production of free drunkenness. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m
And as soon as they thought about it, their eyes naturally fell on the small island.
Two people who want to have identity and means get together, and they effortlessly show favoritism under the noses of others, and take most of the soil that can be cultivated on the island into their pockets, and make another profit.
And the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, and the appetite of the two is naturally getting bigger and bigger, and in the end, they even want to occupy all the land and plant Qingling flowers.
As soon as this idea came out, they got together to discuss it a few times in the name of sharing, and there was the matter of Wuge and Kunju:
The third prince pleaded with the king of Kunju, and after it was his turn to manage the island, he directly took it for himself; Ethan repeatedly spoke to King Ugo and persuaded him to settle down.
That's actually a pretty good idea. After all, Kunju made a lot of money because of his drunkenness, and his national strength is naturally ahead of Wuge, and if it is a stalemate for a long time, it will inevitably be the party that will ultimately benefit.
But what no one expected was that this matter was directly reported to the court by the loyal King Wuge, and after the emperor knew about it, he really planned to take care of it!
Not only managed, but also directly asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come in person!
The two of them had a headache.
At this point, what they did in private, in the face of the person in the capital, naturally they couldn't hide it anymore, Ethan could only explain honestly, and won a chance to make up for it.
The crown prince was heavily guarded, and the emperor watched closely, and he couldn't find a chance to start in the capital, and since he took the initiative to leave and ran to a small border country far away from the emperor of the mountain, it was naturally the best time to start.
- That's why Ethan was so impatient to arrange assassinations after the first day of meeting.
As a partner, the third prince originally knew about this.
But he thought that Ethan was a local snake, and it would not be a problem to deal with a newcomer, so he calmly waited for the good news.
As a result, in the evening, it turned out to be Ethan who hurried to Kunju, saying that the so-called Royal Highness the Crown Prince had noticed the transaction between the two of them?
The third prince was dying of rage.
But he didn't dare to get angry, and really tore his face, so he had to suppress his anger, gritted his teeth and said, "What's the matter?!" Didn't you say nine out of ten? ”
"This son is cunning, not only concealing the identity of the girl next to him, but also carrying far more guards than on the surface." Ethan said in a deep voice, "What's the use of you telling me this now?" It's better to find a way to remedy it! ”
"What can I do!" The third prince immediately retorted to him, "Kunju still has a crown prince!" Even if I relied on getting drunk and showed my face in front of my father, I still couldn't compare to his accumulation! ”
The plan failed, Ethan was already upset, but now seeing that the third prince was still concerned about him, he couldn't help but be angry, and bluntly ridiculed: "Don't pretend to be innocent in front of me, I don't know who you are!" ”
"Xiaoyao Drunk sends you so much silver every year, but not all of it is sent to the treasury of Kunju. (More exciting on the next page!) )
went. Ethan glanced at the third prince and said coldly, "Don't think I don't know that you secretly raised private soldiers and planned when to seize power!" ”
The third prince was speechless.
He is an ambitious person, so naturally he will not be satisfied with being a prince forever, if that old thing is not willing to change the crown prince, won't he work in vain?
Therefore, although the third prince wanted to use the silver to please the king of Kunji, he also quietly left a sum of money to secretly cultivate his own power.
He thought it was a secret that no one else knew except himself and his cronies, but today it was revealed by Ethan.
The third prince kept a calm face and did not say anything, but Ethan pressed step by step.
"As you can guess, my master has a strategy. If you work with me today to capture the prince alive and hand him over to the master, and he will operate it, the future glory and wealth will be innumerable! Ethan analyzed the pros and cons for the third prince, and looked like he was thinking about it, "Think clearly, this is a good opportunity to climb to the sky, and it will be difficult to meet it again if you miss it!" ”
The third prince pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "I will believe you again!" ”
Seeing this, Ethan nodded contentedly and discussed with him the arrangements for the future.
in another palace of the Kunju kingdom.
A blond-haired man sat on top, looking at the note in his hand with interest.
"Great Apocalypse Mission, Fang Tingyu ......" he repeated the letter in a low voice, moving his gaze to the person who was sipping herbal tea calmly, and his tone was unclear, "It turns out that you already have such power in Kunjue. ”
The person who came smiled slightly: "Isn't the crown prince supposed to have come to his senses a long time ago?" ”
Kunju is just one of the countless vassal states of the Qi Kingdom, and in terms of overall strength, I am afraid that it cannot even be compared to the slightly larger cities of the Great Qi Kingdom.
Naturally, it's nothing when you're not careful, but if you want to, what's the difficulty of blending into its palace.
"Yes." The man sighed faintly, and said: "This king is now alone, and he is fortunate to have the mercy of His Royal Highness the Prince, so naturally there is no reason to refuse." ”
He got up and walked to the visitor in person, bowed his hand, and said, "Elijah is willing to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”
The visitor nodded, got up and saluted back: "Your Highness will not forget the help of the crown prince." ”
After saying that, the man turned around and left without hesitation.
Leaving Elijah to stand in place for a moment, when his cronies tentatively stepped forward, he suddenly realized that he waved his hand: "This king is fine." ”
The strength of Kunju and Daqi is far apart, so why should the other party be too polite to him, he should have gotten used to it.
He wouldn't be like some arrogant fools, asking for any so-called respect and equality, and making himself unhappy.
Elijah turned around, ready to go back to the dormitory to make up for the temporary interruption of sleep, and only left a sentence: "Add more men, and keep an eye on the third king's brother who is not right-minded." ”
When the cronies received this command, they immediately withdrew and went from outside to give orders.
The sea in the distance is sparkling, the full moon and the stars are inverted in the water, looking at the picture of the quiet years, but they don't know that the undercurrent surging below has already reached the most intense time.
It's another morning.
The huge breakfast banquet had already been canceled because of the assassination, and He Qianwei was naturally happy, and after finishing breakfast in the room, she supported Ruolan and Qiu Ying to rummage through the cabinets and turn out the shells she had picked up earlier.
Although the matter of getting drunk is imminent, it has to be patiently arranged, so that it can catch all the people who harbor evil intentions, and Xiao Zaiyang just ordered Fang Tingyu last night, and it will naturally be difficult to get a result for a while.
He Qianwei thought about it, she really didn't need to take care of one or the other, and she was worried all day in vain.
It's better to find something to do and distract yourself.
And she rummaged through her memory for a long time, and unsurprisingly remembered those shells from before.
borrowed a dagger from Ruyi that sharpened iron like clay, and He Qianwei got busy.
Prepare a tether, poke a small hole in the shell for half a day, and then string it through it, and you're done.
There are no talents around who know how to deal with shells, so He Qianwei takes it for granted to use her own thinking to do it.
Although the final product did not look as good as it should, she only used it. (More exciting on the next page!) )
Come and pass the time, don't care about that.
And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who came to the door, looked at the simple shell necklace, turned his head and looked at He Qian's shining eyes, and threw his conscience out of the clouds without hesitation, and said sincerely: "It's beautiful." ”
The subordinates present silently looked away.
It's such a bottomless performance today, His Royal Highness the Prince.
Xiao Zaiyang was unaware, and even took the initiative to add: "I remember that when Ji Xiu talked about it, he mentioned that this chain should be completed only if it is finished with pearls, why don't you wait until you return to the capital, and I will prepare a box of pearls for you?" ”
He Qianwei shook her head without hesitation.
"People only need pearls to ask for marriage," she held up the slightly monotonous necklace and shook it in front of her eyes, her tone was natural, "I'm just a string to pass the time and play around, what do you want pearls to do?" ”
The sunlight lingers on the surface of the shell, making the necklace instantly glow.
And Xiao Zaiyang put his eyes on the necklace, as if inadvertently asked, "Qingqing doesn't have a sweetheart yet?" ”
"I'd like to have it, but where can anyone come from be looked down upon by me." He Qianwei replied, "Your Highness, you stay with me all day long, when do you see me walking past God for other men?" ”
Xiao Zaiyang also thought about it seriously and replied categorically: "I see it every day." ”
"Nonsense." He Qianwei retorted to him equally firmly, "If you say something wrong, you have to beware of ghosts knocking on the door." ”
"If there are really ghosts in the world, I don't know who will be more scared when I meet them." The future Ninety-Five Venerable said with such a smile, stretched out his hand and flicked He Qianwei's forehead: "Haven't you stared at me in a daze every day?" ”
He Qianwei, who was at a loss, was speechless, and only after a while did she squeeze out a sentence: "...... You don't count. ”
"Why doesn't it count?"
"It just doesn't count." He Qianwei couldn't say why, so she could only stuff the shell necklace into her makeup, emphasizing that "Your Highness is different from other men!" ”
Xiao Zaiyang looked at her for a long time: "Okay, good, don't count." ”。
