Prince Xi of Yan is feeling a little uncomfortable now.

It should be said that no matter who sees a skull in front of him, he would not feel uncomfortable, not to mention that the skull is right next to his bed.

He was already in a bad mood, and today he saw the skull again, right next to his bed in the bedroom.

No matter what, he was going to lose his temper, and at least a group of the maids around here would be killed.

But before he could vent his anger, King Xi of Yan felt as if he could not move.

Yes, I just can’t move.

King Xi of Yan was a little panicked. Just as he was about to open his mouth to call for help, he saw the skull suddenly pressing down on him, causing pain in his face.

With such behavior, it was clear to King Xi of Yan that he didn't know the purpose of this skull.

Besides, the fact that the skull moves on its own proves that it is not an ordinary thing.

King Xi of Yan looked at the horse skull without any flesh and blood, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Silence, only silence. The sunlight of the day had no intention of penetrating into the bedroom. A chill that penetrated the heart, starting from the skull, penetrated all the way to the heart of King Xi of Yan.

"A thousand gold."

The sudden sound frightened King Xi of Yan so much that he became incontinent. He was only wearing a collar of his shirt, and his lower body became wet in an instant, accompanied by a strong smell of urine.

"A thousand gold."

The horse skull did not pay attention to Yan Wangxi's mood, but just repeated this. It was originally pressing on Yan Wangxi, but gradually floated up, staring at him with a pair of empty eyes.

King Xi of Yan knew that this was his chance to speak and give an answer.

He didn't dare to shout or call for help, so he could only ask timidly: "I wonder what this thousand gold refers to?!"

"A thousand taels of gold..." The horse skull paused, as if thinking, "...a thousand taels of gold, or something equivalent."

The stone that had been hanging in King Xi of Yan's heart finally fell off. As long as it didn't require his life, everything would be negotiable.

"Very good, very good." King Yan looked at the horse skull, thinking about what to call it. "This... sir? Please let me go. I will definitely bring a thousand gold coins and present it to you."

"A thousand gold."

The horse skull ignored him and just repeated it. Yan Wangxi also knew that he probably didn't trust him, or that he really wanted to pay for the goods.

But no matter which one it is, King Xi of Yan probably can't get out now.

"This bedroom is not worth a fortune. How about I ask my servants to get it for you, sir?" King Xi of Yan tried again, testing the bottom line of the horse skull.

I wouldn't feel bad about spending a fortune to save my life, but I'd rather avoid it if I can.

A while ago, they just paid compensation and even ceded land. Now they are taking a huge sum of gold. I am afraid it will be meaningful to the royal family in the court.

Ultimately, only Zhao and Yan ceded territory at this meeting. Zhao could be said to have deserved it, but Yan's fate was simply due to the bad mouthing of Prince Dan.

But no matter how lowly he was, what could he do? After all, he was the biological son of Prince Xi of Yan and the Crown Prince of Yan, so he could not be deposed.

At the very least, he cannot be deposed easily now. After all, Prince Dan of Yan is the only capable son of King Xi of Yan.

Until a replacement appeared, King Xi of Yan did not want to depose the Crown Prince of Yan.

"A thousand gold."

The horse skull ignored King Xi of Yan's wild thoughts and continued to repeat the word "thousand gold".

In other words, this is a different kind of rejection.

"Sir, do you think there is anyone in this palace that suits your taste? Just pay a thousand gold coins and take her away." Since he couldn't avoid it, he naturally gave the money honestly.

King Xi of Yan was not too old, and was not yet ready to go underground to meet the ancestors of the Yan State.

"Ten years of life are worth a thousand gold coins."

King Xi of Yan looked at the horse skull in astonishment, knowing that the sound just now was made by it.

She didn't want the many treasures in the palace, but only wanted the life span of Prince Xi of Yan. Although it was unknown whether it was true or not, who would trade their life span for no reason?

This is especially unreasonable for powerful people like them.

"Sir, are you joking?" Even though King Xi of Yan was angry, he had to suppress it. Now his life and property depended on this horse skull, so he naturally had to know his position clearly.

"Give it or not." The horse skull looked at King Xi of Yan, his slightly opened mouth revealing a few teeth, as if hinting at something, "A thousand gold coins, or ten years of life."

The horse skull was getting closer and closer. Although it had no flesh, blood, throat or tongue, King Xi of Yan still felt that it was blowing cold air at him.

King Xi of Yan knew that this was the final ultimatum. If his answer was not in line with this thing's wishes, he would probably die on the spot.

But he didn't want anything else, just a thousand gold or ten years of life. Now, where could King Xi of Yan come up with a thousand gold? If he wanted to live, he could only give ten years of life.

He was young, and had not even been on the throne for ten years, but no one wanted to live a shorter life, and everyone was pursuing immortality.

But now, King Xi of Yan knew what to choose and it was impossible for him to make the wrong choice.

After all, between ten years of life and death today, which one is more important, King Xi of Yan still thinks the lighter one.

"I give it to you, I give it to you!" King Xi of Yan looked at the horse skull that was pasted to him again, and shouted without caring about his imperial dignity.

One reason was that he was anxious, and the other was that he wanted to shout to the servants outside the bedroom.

Whether it was a thousand gold or his life, King Xi of Yan didn't want to give it up, but now his life was really at stake, so he had to give it up even if the thousand gold was given.

"As you wish." The horse skull opened its mouth, looked at King Xi of Yan, and swallowed him in one gulp.

The screams filled the entire bedroom, but the maidservants serving outside stood there blankly, as if they hadn't heard anything.

Until they died, they still didn't understand why they came out.
