Prince Wu Qiguo took the treasure and turned around to see that everyone had left. He was so happy that he jumped away like a child.
He didn't care at all, and exchanged all his belongings for silver. He didn't even have money to go back home, his horse was auctioned off, and even the money for food was all gone.
Then, after getting such a "treasure", he didn't care at all about how he could return to Wu Qiguo.
At dawn the next day, Prince Wu Qiguo prepared to return to the city.
"Prince, we have no horses left. We have no money for food."
The subordinate touched his stomach, which was already growling. Damn it, this bastard prince had used up all their monthly salaries to make up the money.
"If you don't have money, why don't you just rob?"
The prince roared, "You have all the skills, why don't you just rob someone and have some money? You can just rob or steal some money first and make do."
The guards complained in their hearts about this shameless man. How could a prince be like a gangster and do such a thing!
But, thinking about it, that was the master. As a last resort, this was the only way.
The guards had no choice but to find a wealthy businessman to steal the money. But what they didn't know was that someone was following the prince wherever he went.
Soon, the wealthy businessman who had been robbed found out about it and called a group of servants to surround and beat the thief.
Prince Wu Qiguo tried to run, but the guards soon separated him. Of course, they weren't really separated. They were just beaten and covered in wounds.
Let the prince experience this hardship first.
The lonely prince was shivering in the cold in the corner. After hiding for a day and a night, Prince Wu Qiguo felt like he was going to faint from hunger.
There were no guards around, and he was so hungry that he mustered up the courage to steal some to eat.
But the next second, you can imagine what happened. Another beating...
If he had martial arts skills, he could have fought back, but he was so hungry that he could hardly support his body and had no way to take the next step.
He had no choice but to continue stealing, and this time he met a gentleman who sent him to the government.
When the county magistrate was reviewing the case, he found sufficient evidence and had no choice but to say, "According to the laws of Longyan State, if anyone steals more than one or two taels of silver, their hands will be chopped off."
The prince was so hungry that he had no intention of resisting. As he watched his hand about to be chopped off, he had no choice but to reveal his identity.
He was really stupid. This time he really realized how stupid he was. After all, the one hundred taels of silver should be left in the bag.
Perhaps he had no idea about spending money, so the issue of travel expenses was not within his consideration at all.
When he saw the prince's seal, he was taken to the palace the next second. His hands were spared from being chopped off, but how to get back home became a big problem.
Wanwan and Emperor Wu of Xia looked at the ragged crown prince, who no longer looked like an aristocrat. Wanwan laughed a hundred and eighty times in Emperor Wu of Xia's mind, and he could hardly hold it back.
This prince has come a long way, and I'm afraid he has suffered enough hardships in Longyan Kingdom since he was born.
Nobles are nobility. They can spend all their travel expenses without any thought for the sake of something.
"Are you really the prince?"
Emperor Wu of Xia looked at him in disbelief, "I, a beggar from Longyan State, feel like I'm living a better life than you."
"I originally came to your Longyan Kingdom to see the scenery, but my silver was stolen. My guards also got separated. So,..."
This was probably the first time that Prince Wu Qiguo realized how difficult life was without money.
"Oh? The people of Longyan are simple and honest. How could they steal your money? Prince, would you like to reword your words?"
Emperor Wu of Xia's tone deepened a bit, and he looked very scary.
Prince Wu Qiguo knew he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed his tone, "It was...it was dropped by me."
Emperor Wu of Xia softened his tone. "I think the Crown Prince is here to spy on Longyan State's military intelligence. Every country has its own rules: spies will be killed without mercy!"
This remark nearly caused the Crown Prince to urinate incontinently. The Longyan Kingdom's iron-fisted approach was now comparable to Wu Qiguo's military strength!
In this situation, it is really possible to do such a thing directly. At this time, Longyan Kingdom is not afraid of offending Wu Qiguo at all.
"Come here, take him away. Behead..."
Before he could utter the last word, the prince fell to his knees with a thud, his whole body trembling.
"This prince wishes to write a letter to the emperor, offering three cities as a gift, and to ask that Longyan and Wuqi Kingdoms reconcile."
The Crown Prince of Wuqi knew that his brother would be in for a treat this afternoon. After all, Wuqi had nearly ninety-nine cities. Even if Longyan State had cheated them out of a few, there were still ninety cities left.
Humph, even if Longyan Kingdom gives him three more cities, there will only be fifty-nine cities.
What are you afraid of? Humph!
This is the last time. With this treasure, he will win everything that Wu Qiguo has.
"Five."
Unexpectedly, this time, Emperor Wu of Xia was very lenient and showed no mercy to him, as if the previous times had been too lenient.
This time he wanted to take the skin off the Crown Prince Wu Qiguo, otherwise he would not know that Longyan Kingdom should not be provoked.
Prince Wu Qiguo's expression changed. If it was five, then they would only have eighty-eight cities left, while Longyan Kingdom had sixty-one. The gap was getting smaller and smaller, which he didn't want.
"I don't care about three cities right now. With the military strength of Longyan Kingdom, we can take five cities at any time. Your father won't say anything, but if you treat it as a gift, it will be different. If I really want to take the cities, it may be more than five."
Emperor Wu of Xia looked at Prince Wu Qiguo and said, "Besides, neither you nor I will return it. We will deal with it as we must. After all, every country has relevant regulations. Those who spy on military secrets will be put to death."
"Okay, I'll write a letter to my father."
Prince Wu Qiguo's life was at stake, so he immediately agreed. "But, you have to use my own paper and pen. Otherwise, my father might not recognize the letter."
"OK!"
Emperor Wu of Xia knew what Wu Qiguo was thinking. The previous crown prince was killed by his father.
If he had not revealed the fact that he was carrying valuable treasures, how could Emperor Wu Qiguo offer him five cities in exchange?
Knowing this, he did not stop Prince Wu Qiguo's movements, but waited patiently. He even personally sent someone to deliver it to Emperor Wu Qiguo.
"Come, take the prince down to eat something."
Emperor Wu of Xia naturally knew that the matter was not over yet, and these five cities were just the second batch of interest collected by Wanwan.
