Qian Yechen pleaded, "This son sincerely wishes to relieve the emperor's worries, and does not need any reward from him."
"This is a matter of national importance, so King Cheng certainly shouldn't ask for a reward. But suppressing bandits is no joke. Does King Cheng really think you can take down the bandits around the capital simply by opening your mouth and giving orders? If you can't do that..."
"Father, I hereby declare that if I fail to eliminate the bandits surrounding Kyoto and frighten the envoys from the four kingdoms, I will voluntarily relinquish my title as King Cheng."
"Suppressing bandits is a lucrative job. Everyone knows that the bandits within a 300-li radius are richer than the wealthy merchants in the capital. The money that Third Brother will use to suppress the bandits this time..."
The prince's words made Qian Yechen's heart skip a beat, and he immediately glared at him fiercely. How could he not have known before that this mild-mannered prince could be so annoying and difficult to deal with?
If suppressing bandits wasn't profitable, why would he still go? He really wanted to question the Crown Prince about this. He had no skills, yet he didn't want others to make money. He was truly Murong Qingyu's puppet. He had merely returned a gift to Murong Qingyu, yet Qian Yeming, out of gratitude, immediately made things difficult for him.
"Why, King Cheng, don't you say anything? Do you really want to take the money in the bandit's nest for yourself as the prince said?" Emperor Dezheng narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of danger, and continued with the prince's words.
"How could that be, father? I will definitely hand over the gold and silver obtained from suppressing the bandits to the national treasury." Qian Yechen responded with pain.
Although he would have to give up some of his wealth, with so many bandit dens around the capital, no one knew exactly how much money they held. He could just hand over a small portion and pocket the rest. Qian Yechen felt relieved when he thought about it.
Murong Qingyu knelt on the ground listening to Qian Yeming and Qian Yechen quarreling, feeling secretly happy.
Ever since he eliminated Qian Yeming's "Jingzhe" and his hidden assets across South Vietnam, this prince, who had been playing the role of a pig to eat the tiger, had fallen seriously ill. Seeing how he was now so against Qian Yechen, perhaps he was holding Qian Yechen responsible for the complete destruction of his own power?
This was all thanks to Yan'er! After raising Murong Yan for so long, he had no idea that Yan'er was born with the ability to hypnotize. If Qingyun hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that such a legendary secret skill could be naturally possessed. What good luck had he had?
Murong Qingyu glanced at Qian Yeming. This prince, usually so sickly and inconspicuous, had known about his affair with the Queen so long ago. Not only that, he had also rapidly built up his own power since then.
I have to praise him, his "Jingzhe" is indeed very powerful. Although the assassins he sent caught Jingzhe off guard and wiped them out, his men also suffered countless casualties.
No wonder this sickly prince was able to escape danger every time he was assassinated. It turned out that he was also a powerful man.
However, no matter how powerful he is, he probably could not have imagined that the reason why his power was destroyed overnight was because he himself leaked the information to him?
From this point of view, Murong Yan is much better than Murong Xiao. Murong Xiao has been married to Qian Yeming for so long and has not obtained any valuable information. But Murong Yan, in just two or three sentences, was able to get such important information out.
He originally suspected that Murong Xiao had already switched sides, but after Xia Muwan examined her physically,
