Emperor Tianzhe's face looked ashen.
ah?
He took a risk, but his life turned out to be worthless?
Seeing his expression of despair, Yuchi Xi took a quick look at his face. After a moment's thought, she asked him, "Are you really planning to kidnap my Yuan Empire's new recruits?"
"Your Tianzhe Nation is really short of common people?"
The Emperor of Tianzhe Kingdom froze. Could it be that the little princess knew something?
When she opened her mouth to ask, Jing Huaian gestured to the secret guards to go find someone from the Demon Pavilion to buy information.
The secret guard moved quickly and returned in a short while. He quietly stood behind Jing Huaian, handed him the paper in his hand, and whispered, "Master."
Jing Huaian: ...
Why is he being so sneaky? It's just a normal gift, can't he be open and honest?!
Jing Huaian took it and took a look. When the Emperor of Tianzhe Kingdom was struggling over whether to speak, he spoke, "Your Highness, Tianzhe Kingdom was built in an extremely dry place, and it is suffering from drought right now!"
Emperor Tianzhe: "How could you know?!"
"No, the place where our country was founded is an extremely arid land?!"
He didn't know that the land was extremely dry!!
"When I first founded the country, there was no drought!"
The Emperor of Tianzhe Kingdom was very nervous. Could it be that all this was caused by him?
Jing Huaian hummed lightly, "That place experiences extreme drought every five years! That's why it's called the Extreme Drought Land. This year is exactly the fifth year since the last extreme drought."
Emperor Tianzhe: ...
"So I killed them?"
He simply couldn't accept this result. He never imagined that the reason for the people's suffering was because he chose the wrong place!
The Emperor of Tianzhe Kingdom's back suddenly hunched over, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yuchi Xi asked him, "Your Tianzhe Kingdom is already in such a state, and you still want to capture people from us?"
"Can you support him?"
The Emperor of Tianzhe thought about it and decided to speak his true thoughts. It wouldn't make things worse anyway.
"Actually, it's true that I approached him and asked him to help capture new recruits, but I was thinking that if I captured your recruits, you would definitely come after me. Then I would trade my life for the people coming to your place. You don't have a drought here, and even if there is a drought, you have the ability to solve it, but I don't."
"But I didn't expect you to come so soon, and I didn't expect you to know the root cause of the drought in our Tianzhe Country..."
"I know I shouldn't say these words right now, but I still want to say, please, help our Tianzhe Nation!"
He prostrated himself on the ground. He really had no other choice. He couldn't just watch the people die, right?
Zhu Tou on the side: ...
No, you've cleared yourself of all charges, but what about me? Wouldn't I be a traitor?!
Yuchi Xi nodded, "Sure, I can sell you a rain charm. It's a talisman that can make it rain over there."
"Then... can I write an IOU?" The Emperor of Tianzhe Kingdom's face flushed red, he pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed.
He would not doubt how a piece of talisman paper could bring rain. After all, the droughts in the Yuan Dynasty had all been solved, and it must have been solved by this talisman paper.
Yuchi Xi hummed, "Okay."
She looked at his face and found that what the emperor of Tianzhe Kingdom said was true. He had a very good face and was not a bad person.
He must have resorted to this method because he was desperate!
Zhu Tou quickly spoke up, "Little Princess, please don't be fooled by him. He said earlier that he wants our Yuan Dynasty recruits to help them with the work! He also said that he wants them to feel a sense of belonging!"
Emperor Tianzhe, "Yes, that's what I said."
"But I just didn't want to reveal my true plan before, and I think it would be better if they could help the people of our country!"
He admitted it so readily that Zhu Tou, who had prepared so much to say, couldn't utter a single word.
No, you just admitted it so easily, what else can I say?!
Yuchi Xi looked at him with a smile, "I know."
"Let me ask you, is there a flower in your country..." Yuchi Xi thought for a moment and looked at Zhu Tou, "Do you have any writing brushes, inkstones, or paper?"
Zhu Tou went to get it and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Jing Huaian helped her grind the brush, and Yuchi Xi picked up the brush and drew the flower. "It's this flower..."
"I heard this flower only grows in extremely dry places."
The Emperor of Tianzhe Kingdom took a look and said, "Yes."
"We have a mountain over there that's full of these flowers, and the kids are picking them up to play with."
After all, these flowers can’t be eaten…
Catch it and play...
Yuchi Xi's mouth twitched slightly. This is a top-grade medicinal herb!
"I can sell you the rain charm in exchange for giving me this flower."
"Ah?" The Emperor of Tianzhe Kingdom was stunned. This flower... He felt guilty about giving it away. In his opinion, the rain-making talisman was so precious. What was so rare about those wild flowers that could be seen everywhere?
"How about I give you the flowers?"
"That flower is worthless. If I were to exchange it for your talisman paper, I wouldn't feel at ease!"
Zhu Tou: Stupid, if the little princess wants something, how can it be cheap?
Her Royal Highness the Little Princess must know that the flower is not simple!
But he wouldn't remind him!
He had to find a way to go to Tianzhe Country and see if he could get some of those flowers to sell here. He would definitely make a lot of money.
