"Make a comeback! Humph—" Qian Yechen sneered, "The military order has already been issued, how can I make a comeback?" Then he said self-deprecatingly, "It won't be long before you won't have to call me King anymore."
Ji Feng laughed and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Cheng issued a military order to suppress the bandits. Hasn't he already done it? Although nearly half of the troops have been lost, the mission has been accomplished."
"Mission completed?" Qian Yechen smiled bitterly. "I haven't even seen a penny of silver. How can this be considered a mission completed? If my father asks me to hand over the spoils, how should I respond?"
"So His Royal Highness King Cheng is so short-sighted. Well, we have different ideals and cannot work together. I take my leave. Your Royal Highness King Cheng, take care of yourself!"
After saying that, Ji Feng stood up and prepared to leave, but Ben Qianyechen stopped him.
"Wait!" Qian Yechen walked down the stairs to Ji Feng's side, as if the person in front of him was his lifeline, and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"A brilliant plan?" Ji Feng raised his eyebrows. "I don't have any brilliant plans, but I think His Royal Highness King Cheng has a strong foundation. It should be okay for him to give some of them, right?"
Ji Feng's words instantly caused Qian Yechen extreme pain. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you asking me to sell the property of Prince Cheng's Mansion and give it to the imperial court as the proceeds from the bandit suppression?"
"Why not? Is money more important than life, than the future? Without life, what is the use of money and property? If I were His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, I would immediately find a way to exchange the valuables in the palace for gold and silver and hand it over to the court. Only then can we have a future, right?"
After hearing Ji Feng's words, Qian Yechen fell silent.
Indeed, although he lost 20,000 soldiers, at least he succeeded in suppressing the bandits. If he sold his assets and handed them over to the court, even though he would lose a lot of money, at least he could still keep the title of King Cheng, right?
"Don't you think His Royal Highness King Cheng wants to know who the real bandit killers were?"
As soon as Ji Feng said this, Qian Yechen was like a chicken with its blood injected, and all 3,600 pores on his body stood up.
"who?"
Ji Feng patted his clothes and said rather embarrassedly, "Although I am taking advantage of someone's misfortune by doing this, Your Highness, I have hundreds of mouths to feed!"
Although it hurts, he is determined to get back this revenge and this money no matter what. Sometimes information is more important than winning a battle.
Qian Yechen took a deep breath and said, "Old rules!"
"Twice the old rules!"
"You..." Qian Yechen nearly gnashed his teeth at the man's provocative grin. He'd paid 1,000 taels of gold for a piece of information in the dark night. It was gold! Not silver! Knowing that he needed money most right now, wasn't this a classic case of taking advantage of someone's misfortune and adding insult to injury?
But seeing that the other party had no room for negotiation, Qian Yechen gritted his teeth and roared, "Alright! Double is double!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Feng burst into laughter. "Your Highness, Prince Cheng, you are very courageous! Although 2,000 taels of gold is a bit high, think about it, Your Highness, Prince Cheng. If we know where the money used to suppress the bandits went, there will be a chance to recover it in the future, and it will be worth more than 2,000 taels of gold."
"Go ahead!" Qian Yechen said impatiently.
"I don't know who they are, but my people seem to have seen this group of people around here two months ago. They are all well-trained and agile.
