"What? That's impossible! With so many of us guarding this place, what if someone breaks in..." another man said, glancing at the cell, his eyes widening in surprise.

The prison cell where Prince Takumi was imprisoned was empty.

One by one, the guards regained consciousness, and the cell was in chaos. They searched inside and out, but Prince Takumi seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Soon, Mu Tai also entered the prison with a gloomy face. His aura was so cold that it seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

Hidden beneath his anger was his extreme fear.

After all, this was his chance to turn his life around.

He stood in front of that cell, his lips pressed tightly together, his hands trembling slightly.

"How did you see that? How did you see that? A bunch of good-for-nothings, a bunch of useless trash!" Mu Tai drew his sword, roared angrily, and killed several guards on the spot.

Everyone else was terrified and turned pale, and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Lord Mutai, we haven't left even a step. We've been holding our ground here the whole time. But in the blink of an eye, Prince Takumi disappeared. It's like he vanished into thin air."

"Yes, we've never encountered anything so bizarre before."

Suddenly, a name popped into Mu Tai's mind.

Qiao Lian'er!

She must have come and taken the person away.

We only need to wait a few days to see if Prince Takumi is in the Great Swamp Country to confirm his guess.

But now, whether or not Qiao Lian'er took the person away is no longer important.

Because the Great Khan entrusted him with the task of guarding the country and negotiating with the Eastern Fu Kingdom, and Prince Takukai disappeared, there was no way to discuss the subsequent matters.

His gunpowder depot, the other reparations from the Da Nu Kingdom, truly benefited from the Great Khan's attention and his future grand ambitions.

Mu Tai felt a surge of blood in his chest, his body swayed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

He felt as if a pair of large hands were toying with him, but he was powerless to do anything about it. With a scream, Mu Tai fainted.

The next day, Qiao Lian'er finally escorted Prince Tuohai to the palace.

After verifying his identity, the emperor ordered the man to be imprisoned, and then personally wrote a letter to the Eastern Fu Kingdom.

Dongfu Kingdom has several princes, but Crown Prince Tuohai is the most capable. No matter how harsh the demands are on this side, they will not give up on redeeming Crown Prince Tuohai.

Therefore, the emperor was very confident.

He generously said, "Just tell me what Lian'er wants."

Qiao Lian'er thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty has already given me more than enough."

The emperor pondered, "Such a great achievement, I cannot leave without giving any recognition."

"Here's what we'll do. Thanks to the silver that Princess Lingyu and Crown Prince Tuohai paid in compensation, the treasury of Daze Kingdom has been greatly replenished. As for your Qingfeng Plain fiefdom and Tianhe Prefecture, they are still paying taxes to the national treasury. From now on, they will be exempted. You can keep those taxes yourself, after all, you are the fiefdom lord."

"Your Majesty, this is my filial piety." Qiao Lian'er disagreed.

The emperor said, “You have invested a lot of your own money in managing these fiefdoms. Consider the taxes as compensation. The national treasury was tight before, so there is no need for that now.”

Seeing that the emperor genuinely didn't want the taxes anymore, Qiao Lian'er thanked him and accepted them.

He was so happy! All the tax revenue went into his pocket and into the Qiao family's pocket. How could the word "satisfaction" even begin to describe it?

However, there should be another good show to be shown in Da Nu Kingdom.

Mutai was carried like a dead chicken and thrown in front of the throne of Khan Zhenyou.
