From the moment the sword was drawn, the tragic end of Prince Fuyang was already sealed!
Without giving him any chance to react, Zhao Yun and Luo Cheng immediately rushed forward.
Mu Zian, however, slowly sat down and continued to savor his wine.
The entire Tingzhu Pavilion was thrown into chaos.
Xiao Xiuning stood motionless before the wooden table, her gaze coldly meeting that of Mi Linglong.
It was as if everything happening behind them had nothing to do with them.
Xie Yuyao quickly hid behind Mu Zi'an and said pitifully.
"Lord Zhenguo, please save me!"
In an instant, Xiao Xiuning and Mi Linglong's gazes both shot straight at Mu Zian.
At this moment, Mu Zian felt as if he had a thorn in his back.
Xie Yuyao, hiding behind Mu Zi'an, pretended to be timid.
Mu Zi'an was helpless as to why the women surrounding him were all more cunning than the last.
Mu Zian knew that Mi Linglong was a princess of the former Chu state.
The answer to why Xie Yuyao dared to accept him is obvious.
This enormous Tingzhuxuan was also a property of the former Chu Intelligence Bureau.
Whether anyone from the Great Li court was involved behind the scenes remains unknown.
At least one brothel cannot establish itself in the capital city of Dali without a powerful backer.
As for Prince Fuyang and his guards behind him, they were all beaten to the ground by Zhao Yun and Luo Cheng in just a few breaths.
Prince Fuyang, crouching on the ground with his back to the gate, screamed.
"You! What are you trying to do! If you dare to kill me, my great Zhao Kingdom will never forgive you!"
Mu Zian, who was already feeling down about the game, immediately grinned maliciously upon hearing this.
"Oh dear, I am really scared."
Upon seeing this, Prince Fuyang was filled with boundless fear.
Mu Zian squatted down and looked at Prince Fuyang, asking a question.
"I'm curious, if you were to die within the borders of Dali, would the Zhao Kingdom avenge you?"
At this moment, Mu Zi'an's smiling face was like a demon from hell in the eyes of Prince Fuyang.
"You! Don't do anything reckless!"
Just then, Xiao Xiuning coughed lightly.
"Don't go too far."
No matter what, Prince Fuyang was the deputy envoy of Zhao. If he were to die in Zhao's territory within the borders of Dali, it would be difficult to explain.
Moreover, Xiao Xiuning is in charge of entertaining these Zhao delegations this time. If the Crown Prince of Fuyang is killed, Xiao Xiuning will have a hard time explaining it to her father, the Emperor.
Upon hearing this, Mu Zian looked around at the mess on the ground and then smiled as he spoke.
"This country's lord is not an unreasonable person."
"Today I'm giving you two choices: either I, the Duke, break one of your legs."
"Either you pay for all the tables, chairs, benches, flowers, birds, teapots, and jars in this room at their original price."
Upon hearing this, Prince Fuyang immediately replied without any hesitation.
"I'll pay! I'll pay!"
In the current situation, circumstances are beyond one's control. Although Prince Fuyang is arrogant, he has learned his lesson after being humiliated by Mu Zian twice.
As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him. After being arrogant for more than 20 years, Prince Fuyang now chooses to follow his heart.
Mu Zian, who was squatting on the ground, smiled.
"I won't ask you for more; these bottles and jars are worth 100,000 taels of silver."
Upon hearing this number, Prince Fuyang screamed out loud!
"One hundred thousand taels! Are all the bottles and jars in this room made of gold?"
Prince Fuyang was indeed wealthy, but the 100,000 taels of silver far exceeded his expectations.
Seeing the shocked expression on Prince Fuyang's face, Mu Zian snapped his fingers and said.
"Get him!"
Luo Cheng smiled and twisted his wrist, about to step forward.
Prince Fuyang hurriedly replied.
"Hey! I'll pay! I'll pay!"
Mu Zian smiled upon seeing this.
"You should have said that earlier."
At this moment, Prince Fuyang was suffering inwardly!
Is this the Duke of Zhenguo of Dali? What's the difference between him and a highway robber?!
"Ten thousand taels is too much! This young master cannot come up with that much money all at once!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Zian calmly walked to the desk, picked up a piece of paper, and handed it to Prince Fuyang.
"It's okay if you don't have money, just write an IOU."
"I...IOU?"
Prince Fuyang felt as if his brain had gone blank.
Seeing that he was stunned, Mu Zian snapped his fingers again.
Prince Fuyang immediately reacted as if he had been electrocuted, and hurriedly spoke.
"I'll write! I'll write!"
Offending Mu Zi'an was the biggest mistake Prince Fuyang ever made in his life.
As an IOU worth 100,000 taels of silver was written, Prince Fuyang said through gritted teeth.
"In that case, may I leave?"
Mu Zian smiled slightly as he held the IOU.
"You can leave, of course, but what if you deny the IOU once you leave?"
"Besides, we should at least leave some money for the down payment before we leave."
Looking at the smile on Mu Zi'an's face, Prince Fuyang asked with a slight tremor in his body.
"What...what do you want to do!"
Mu Zian smiled and said to Luo Cheng, who had been eager to try his luck on the side.
"Openly, they helped this Prince Fuyang change his clothes."
Upon seeing this, Prince Fuyang clutched his collar and cried out.
"Don't come any closer! I'm going to scream!"
Luo Cheng sneered.
"Have you forgotten where this place is?"
Even if you shout until you're hoarse, no one will come!
Mu Zian silently reached out and pulled the curtain closed.
Then came the terrified scream of the Prince of Fuyang.
