Jiang Tian transmigrated to the Great Xia Dynasty and was immediately met with a drought that had lasted for many years. The county magistrate, in order to pray for rain from the Dragon King, prepa...
Chapter 851 What truly constitutes luxury?
Han Xin immediately realized that this guy was their king.
Han Xin walked over step by step, and when King Ashoka saw Han Xin, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down on the ground.
"I don't want to die, as long as you spare my life."
"I am very happy to do anything."
At this moment, King Ashoka was already terrified. He knew that anyone in front of him could kill him.
Li Cunxiao alone could kill everyone in the city.
Besides, the person standing in front of him is Han Xin.
"I'd like to go and see your palace," Han Xin ordered. Soon, a train from outside the city pulled in.
Han Xin stood on the train with his men.
"Let them beat up Ashoka, then pull our carriage to the palace. I want to have a good look around."
At the command, the Indians immediately sprang into action.
"You Indians, get out of my way! Let your king pull this cart. Anyone else who dares to step forward will be killed without mercy."
Han Xin roared at the crowd.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. You just want to visit my palace, right? I'll give you the whole palace now, so what?"
Ashoka was being held captive by the crowd; he had already broken down by this point, and he was no longer willing to live like this.
He'd do anything to keep him alive.
Watching Ashoka pull the cart ahead, Han Xin was secretly thrilled. This scoundrel was truly skilled at pulling a cart.
"Hurry up, you ugly, dark-skinned bastard, what are you dawdling about for? I think you're asking for it."
"You're usually so capable, why are you pulling the cart so slowly today?"
"This guy is just stalling for time. He's usually so capable, but now I feel so incompetent in comparison."
"Hurry up, or I'll beat you to death if you keep dawdling like this."
To Ashoka's surprise, the people pointing at him and cursing him were none other than those who usually accompanied him.
The crowd not only pointed at Ashoka and cursed him, but also punched and kicked him.
"How could you dogs change so quickly? Without me, would you be living such a good life?" "Now that they've invaded, you think you can just criticize me like this?"
"Without me, you people would be nowhere to be found."
"You people are all bastards. I never thought that you would repay kindness with enmity and treat me like this."
"You people will pay a heavy price. Don't be so arrogant in front of me."
"Ashoka, you used to be our king, and we could give you some leeway. But now you are nothing. If you continue to be disobedient, we can kill you. Don't keep swaggering in front of us. Any one of us can put you to death."
To Ashoka's surprise, his men didn't care about his feelings at all; they only wanted to ride roughshod over him.
The leather whip lashed at him again and again. At this moment, An Yu Wang was helpless. He dared not resist, for any one of Han Xin's men could easily kill him if he did.
This fellow pulled the cart step by step, and with great effort, it took him more than an hour to finally get the heavy cart to the entrance of his palace.
Han Xin raised his head and looked at the tall and majestic palace hall. He was very excited.
"General Han, you should hurry up and take a good look inside the palace. I've never seen a hunting ground around a palace like this before. It's much taller than the palace of our Great Xia Dynasty. But why is their palace white? It looks ominous."
Upon hearing this, Han Xin nodded and leaped off the roof of the carriage. At this moment, King Ashoka quickly knelt down and asked Han Xin to step over his back.
"General, this is our palace. Countless beauties are waiting for you here. Please come in with me." King Ashoka was as obedient as a child. At this moment, King Ashoka dared not say anything. He only hoped that Han Xin would spare him. As long as he could live, he would do anything for him.
Han Xin glared at him fiercely, then followed Ashoka inside. Soon, the heavy doors slowly opened.
All the queens, concubines, and palace maids in Ashoka's palace knelt respectfully on both sides of the road to welcome Han Xin.
"This humble woman pays her respects to Commander Han. This humble woman has been here for a long time to welcome Commander Han."
"General Han, I never imagined that I would meet you in this palace. General Han, your presence in our palace has brought great honor to our humble abode."
"General Han, these women are all handpicked by me from all over the country. Don't be fooled by the fact that our men are all dark-skinned, but our women are fair-skinned and beautiful."
"He said, 'Please come with me to General Han. You can stay in this palace tonight. Any woman General Han takes a fancy to, no matter which one, he will obediently serve you.'"
Han Xin led his men inside with Ashoka. He turned around and looked at Li Cunxiao.
"General Li, you come in with me. Everyone else waits outside. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter this palace hall. This palace hall belongs to our main palace. None of us can represent our lord to come into this palace. Do you understand?"
Li Cunxiao nodded. In their view, they were all loyal to Jiang Tian. Since Jiang Tian had not arrived, everything in the palace belonged to him, and no one had the right to enjoy it.
The reason Han Xin brought Li Cunxiao in was not for any other reason than that Li Cunxiao's abilities were extraordinary; Li Cunxiao alone could defeat everyone in the palace.
With Li Cunxiao protecting him, Han Xin could rest easy.
"Don't worry, Commander Han, I understand." Seeing the tall and majestic palace, filled with jewels and gold, though white on the outside, it glittered with gold inside.
The magnificence of the palace left both Li Cunxiao and Han Xin in awe.
Previously, Li Cunxiao had captured a temple, and everything inside the temple shocked him greatly, especially the tall golden bronze statue, which weighed tens of thousands of kilograms.
However, after Li Cunxiao entered the palace, he discovered that its luxury was incomparable to that of the enormous temple.
The sheer extravagance of this palace truly made everyone realize what genuine luxury meant.
