The prince nodded, "Indeed not."
The room suddenly became silent.
A moment later, Kubicheng's heavy breathing was heard.
He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
The wound that had stopped bleeding before he came here, at this moment, opened again, and blood slowly flowed out of it.
Ku Bicheng was extremely angry. "Since the Crown Prince is so disrespectful to us, then let's call off the cooperation. I'm leaving now."
After he said that, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Sun Changshi with a knife.
"Stop!" Sun Changshi smiled coldly, "Do you think this is a place where you can come and go as you please?"
The prince leaned back in his chair in a leisurely manner and said, "You can leave, but you can leave your head behind."
"yes!"
Sun Changshi agreed and turned his wrist to cut off Kubicheng's head.
Hubicheng was startled and dodged backwards repeatedly.
But he didn't bring any weapons when he came, so he could only dodge and avoid, but had no way to confront him head-on.
Seeing that he was losing ground and Sun Changshi's knife was about to cut his neck again, the prince spoke.
"Okay, Sun Changshi."
Sun Changshi immediately stopped, put away his knife, and stood back in his original position.
At this time, Sun Changshi was thin, respectful, with a gentle expression, and no knife in his hand.
He looked like a thin civil servant, completely different from the man who was holding a dagger to cut off someone's head just now.
Looking at Sun Changshi like this, Hu Bicheng suddenly remembered that his master had once told him that the prince was not an ordinary person, and the people around the prince were not ordinary people either, so he must be careful in dealing with them.
He hadn't taken it seriously before, but now it seems that he was careless.
The prince laughed and said, "I was just joking with you just now. Why did you get scared? Don't be afraid. This prince loves the people like his own children. I won't really leave your head alone.
You said your master asked you to come and discuss cooperation with this prince. What kind of cooperation do you want to discuss?"
Hubicheng swallowed and tried to calm himself down.
After going over the words in his mind several times, he spoke cautiously.
"My master is Hulunnuer. He asked me to come to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He wanted to tell His Royal Highness that the Prince of Chen now has the help of the goddess and will probably return to Chang'an soon."
The prince froze visibly for a moment. "Goddess? What goddess? You Turks, do you even have the leisure to entertain such nonsense?"
When Hubicheng heard this, his eyes lit up as if he had discovered a secret.
"It seems that the Crown Prince has lived in Chang'an for a long time and doesn't have a clear understanding of the affairs of Tingzhou and Xizhou!"
Without waiting for the prince to say anything, Hubi Cheng took something out of his arms.
Seeing this scene, Sun Changshi became alert instantly.
"What are you going to do?"
Hubicheng pressed the cylindrical object in his hand.
With a click, the light came on.
The intense light was brighter than all the candles in the room combined.
Sun Changshi frowned, his guard still intact.
There was a hint of inquiry in the prince's eyes, "What is this?"
"This is something the goddess gave me. It's called a flashlight. You just need to turn on the switch and it will light up. You don't need to put candles or kerosene in it. You just need to get more sunlight during the day."
"How is this possible!" Sun Changshi was stunned and said subconsciously, "How can such a thing exist in this world!"
Hubicheng smiled and said, "There is no such thing in the world. This is a gift from the goddess."
Sun Changshi looked at the Crown Prince with a complicated expression, "Your Highness..."
The prince narrowed his eyes and said, "You said there was a goddess, then tell me the details."
It's not that he hasn't heard of the name of the goddess. After all, the famous cement was made by the goddess.
It was precisely because of the cement that Anzhou did not suffer from floods.
However, Tingzhou and Xizhou were flooded by the sudden heavy rain.
A goddess like her couldn't even stop the rain, and even caused two states to be flooded. What kind of ability could she have?
It is probably just a gimmick made by Li Junyan to attract the emperor's attention.
He had already stopped taking the goddess and Li Junyan seriously.
But looking at this flashlight, I have to take it seriously.
Kubicheng immediately stood up straighter, with a more complacent expression on his face, and told everything he knew one by one.
In the entire room, only Ku Bicheng's voice echoed.
But as he spoke, the expressions of the Crown Prince and Sun Changshi became gradually solemn.
After Kubicheng finished speaking for a long time, the Crown Prince slowly spoke, "So, you have already signed a contract with the Prince of Chen? Then why are you still looking for me?"
