The Emperor's Phoenix: The Abandoned Concubine

Looking at the boat slowly emerging from the water, Feng Qingchen was originally very calm. No matter what, the money belonged to the Fengli clan. But when he saw everyone's excitement, he was infected and couldn't help but become excited and expectant.

"Ao...Ao" The snow wolf is very human-like. It understands what everyone is going to do these days. Seeing that the water in the lake is getting less and less, the snow wolf also shouts excitedly.

Finally I can leave this damn place!

Feng Qingchen smiled and patted the snow wolf's head, asking it to be quiet as its barking would scare people.

The water level was getting lower and lower, and the soldiers shouted: "It's coming out, it's coming out."

A flash of gold appeared, and everyone became even more excited: "What a flash! It's gold, really gold."

This was the only opened box of gold on the ship. The appearance of this box of gold made everyone extremely excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.

When the whole ship appeared in everyone's sight, everyone shouted excitedly: "So much, so much, a ship full of gold, we've made a fortune this time."

On the ship, there were rows of boxes neatly stacked. It was obvious that they were full of gold, golden gold.

"Just this little? After spending so much money, this is the only gold we got?" Unlike everyone else who was excited, Feng Qingchen felt a little disappointed when he saw these boxes.

The boxes on the boat were laid out flat in one layer, not stacked at all. Feng Qingchen took a quick look and saw that there were less than a hundred boxes.

You don’t even have a hundred boxes of gold, and you still have the nerve to call yourself as rich as a country?

Is this all the Lu family’s wealth?

Feng Qingchen was disappointed, very disappointed...

It turned out that they had worked in vain for the past six months. You know, for this little money from the Lu family, more than 100,000 people died in the four countries and nine cities. This little money is not enough to pay the consolation fee.

Feng Qingchen was not in a good mood, but the soldiers were very happy. They had never seen so much gold in their lives. Silver notes were valuable, but they were not as direct as gold.

With so much gold in front of everyone, the visual impact is absolutely indescribable. For men, this glittering gold is more exciting than a hundred Luo women.

However, the Ninth Prince's men were well-trained and there would be no looting. The general arranged a small team to go down to the lake and bring up the gold from the boat box by box, and then someone would count and supervise.

When the Ninth Prince came over, he saw this lively scene. Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, the Ninth Prince was in a good mood even though he found that there was not enough silver.

Finally, I can leave.

"Unhappy?" The Ninth Prince walked over and saw Feng Qingchen's drooping mouth, and vaguely understood something.

Feng Qingchen shook his head listlessly: "No." It was just that his expectations were too high before, and he was a little dissatisfied when he saw such a small amount of gold.

After paying the hiring fees of Ninth Prince and his group, Feng Qingchen really didn't know how much of this gold would be left.

It would cost a lot of money to feed and feed thirty or forty thousand people at sea for two months. She couldn't let the Ninth Prince do both the work and the money, she wasn't that fond of taking advantage.

Feng Qingchen didn't say anything, so the Ninth Prince had to ask himself: "Is it too little?"

"I had too high expectations before." Feng Qingchen did not push the responsibility onto others. She was not that kind of person.

"The Lu family is well-known for its wealth, and this is indeed not much." Not to mention Feng Qingchen, even he felt that it was not worthy of the reputation when he saw it.

Feng Qingchen nodded. The Lu family's treasure was so famous. It would have been fine if they hadn't found it, but after finding it, there was only this much. How could it not be disappointing?

The Ninth Prince stretched out his hand, and was about to rub Feng Qingchen's head to comfort her as usual, but as soon as he raised his hand, he realized something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Feng Qingchen asked worriedly when she saw the Ninth Prince's hand frozen in mid-air.

Could it be that the Ninth Prince has an allergic reaction again? He passed by the flower field before and I didn’t see him having an allergic reaction. Why has he suddenly become so delicate?

"There's good news." The Ninth Prince didn't feel embarrassed at all and calmly withdrew his hand.

"Good news?" Feng Qingchen looked doubtful, staring at the Ninth Prince's hand for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It's not what I think, right?"

If this is true, then the Lu family is too nouveau riche, so rich that it angers everyone.

The Ninth Prince nodded: "Let's go down and take a look."

"No, you stand here, I'll go." Feng Qingchen hurriedly pulled the Ninth Prince back, but the Ninth Prince refused: "The King is fine."

"It would be strange if there is nothing wrong." Feng Qingchen complained unceremoniously. The Ninth Prince was very upset, but he refused to let Feng Qingchen go down alone: ​​"Let them pull the boat up first."

"Then you can't get close either." As a doctor, Feng Qingchen was very insistent on this point.

The Ninth Prince disagreed, but someone held his hand, so he had to compromise.

Seeing the glittering gold, everyone's morale was high, and three or two people quickly emptied the gold on the boat. In addition to the gold, there was also a box of glittering stones, some white, some red, and some black. Everyone didn't know what it was, so they had to ask the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen to go and take a look.

Before he even got close, Feng Qingchen was blinded by the light from the box and asked in surprise, "Diamond?"

Damn, there are high-purity diamonds as big as fists, as well as pink diamonds and black diamonds, the smallest of which is as big as a pigeon egg.

This is simply going to happen.

"Do you recognize this?" The Ninth Prince was not interested in diamonds. This kind of thing was not valuable in the Kyushu Continent.

Although it looks good, it is too hard to be polished into jewelry.

"Of course I recognize them. These are diamonds. This box of diamonds can be sold for a lot of silver." Feng Qingchen likes diamond jewelry, but she likes to exchange these diamonds for silver even more.

Looking at the box full of diamonds, Feng Qingchen's mouth almost drooled. At least this trip would not be a big loss. What about the crown and scepter inlaid with more than a hundred diamonds? She could inlay several crowns with this box of diamonds.

"Is this thing really that valuable? In the Kyushu Continent, one tael of silver can buy such a big piece." The Ninth Prince casually took out a piece from the box, cruelly shattering Feng Qingchen's fantasy.

He didn't understand how Feng Qingchen knew that this kind of stone was very valuable.

This kind of hard stone is usually only used by doctors and is rarely used in other places.

"What did you say? One tael of silver for a piece? Such a big one?" Feng Qingchen was stunned. It was like stepping into the gate of immortality, thinking that he would become an immortal, but he stepped on empty air and fell back to the mortal world.

The gap is too big.

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Although this stone looks good, it is too hard. Even the best craftsmen in the Kyushu Continent cannot polish it, let alone inlay it into jewelry. Even if it is done, no one will buy it. It is not as beautiful as emerald and jade, nor as bright as ruby, agate, etc."

The Ninth Prince struck Feng Qingchen mercilessly once again, and Feng Qingchen froze in place...

Why, she had a feeling that she had a mountain of treasure but was not recognized by others.

"Is this diamond really so worthless?" Feng Qingchen was about to cry.

You know, in her opinion, such an egg-sized diamond can be sold for thousands or even hundreds of millions, but in the eyes of the Ninth Prince. No, it should be said that in the Kyushu Continent, it is only worth one or two taels?

Feng Qingchen felt like vomiting blood.

She really wanted to take this box of diamonds back to the modern era...
