The man had a full head of black hair tucked into a transparent black veil, and wore a wide-legged robe. He had a handsome face and looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
"Yes, I am their brother, a sibling from the same mother."
“From childhood to adulthood, my two younger sisters have always been outwardly friendly but inwardly hostile, yet they have always been very close to me.” A look of pain welled up in Takumi’s eyes.
“They should have returned to their country long ago, but it was not them who returned. I sent people to investigate in Dazeguo, only to find out that they had died there, their bodies were fed to wild wolves on the mountain, and there was no trace of their remains.”
"And the person who killed them was none other than Qiao Lian'er, whom Brother Mu Tai hated the most. Now, Qiao Lian'er is our common enemy."
"So, you are the crown prince of Dongfu Kingdom?"
Compared to that, Mutai was more concerned about the other party's identity and the benefits that it would bring him.
Princess Hefeng and Princess Lingyu are dead, what does that have to do with him?
"That's right, I am the future heir of the Dongfu Kingdom. Before inheriting the kingdom, I must complete the great task of avenging my two younger sisters."
"Why did Prince Takumi come to find me?" Mu Tai asked.
"As I said before, Qiao Lian'er is our common enemy. We are both princes with high status in the royal family. One of us left his homeland forever because of Qiao Lian'er's pressure, and the other lost his loved ones because of Qiao Lian'er. Compared to each other, we have many similarities, which is the basis for our cooperation."
"So, Prince Takumi suddenly came to me for cooperation, what bargaining chips do you have in exchange?" Mu Tai didn't have a good look on his face. He had already had enough troubles lately.
The task assigned to him by the emperor was to rebuild a gunpowder depot, a task he has yet to complete.
Under his threat, most of the powerful families in Daze Kingdom who had been implicated with him in the past and whose secrets he held against them chose to confess their shady dealings to the Daze Emperor in order to receive leniency. After all, transporting gunpowder to Danu Kingdom was extremely dangerous, and one wrong move could lead to being accused of treason and collusion with the enemy, resulting in the execution of their entire family. Therefore, they preferred to plead guilty.
There were still some high-ranking officials left, but Mu Tai didn't want to be without anyone to use in the future, so he had no choice but to leave them alone for the time being.
Therefore, he was preoccupied with the gunpowder depot and had no time to pay attention to Qiao Lian'er. He couldn't explain to Emperor Zhenyou, and his situation wouldn't improve.
Now that Prince Takumi has come to him, he wants to see what benefits the other party can bring him.
“I know what Brother Mu is most concerned about right now. If I can help you solve this problem, I hope you can lend me some help so that I can successfully avenge my two sisters.”
Mu Tai's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm.
Prince Tuohai continued, "Our Dongfu Kingdom has no shortage of explosives. As long as we transport them by sea and then deliver them to Brother Mutai on the grasslands, Brother Mutai will soon be able to report back to Khan Zhenyou."
This was exactly what Mu Tai wanted to hear. He immediately stared at the other person, a strange light igniting in his eyes.
"Is what Prince Takumi said true?"
