They came to apologize with thorns on their backs, and along with them came their storage rings.
In Xiao Jiu's words, this storage ring is too cheap.
It takes everything it sees... even inside the majestic Great Qi Secret Treasury, this wretched thing dares to make a move. Can you believe how infuriating it is?
I tried to discipline it strictly, but it just wouldn't learn its lesson.
I also wanted to smash this wretched thing to pieces with one blow, but considering that it had followed me for so long and had worked hard even if it hadn't done anything meritorious, I let it go this time.
After my persistent and earnest teachings, it finally came to its senses, so today I have brought it here to apologize to the Crown Prince.
Although I, Ajiu, was unaware of the situation, as the owner of this wretched thing, I also bear some responsibility.
If Your Highness wishes to punish this wretched creature, please punish me as well, for I am its master and my crime is far greater.
After saying that, he pouted again, looking heartbroken.
From the moment Xi Jiu opened his mouth, Xi Boqi's expression grew increasingly unpleasant, while Thirty-Year-Old, sitting on his lap, laughed heartily.
With her intelligence, how could she not understand the meaning behind Ye Jiu's words?
He stole things, and he even stole things from his own house. Didn't he already admit that he had also stolen from the Daqi secret vault?
Given his behavior, he must have stolen quite a lot; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so afraid to come and apologize.
But his actions were different from others, because his real intention in carrying thorns on his back to apologize was to speak out for himself.
Didn't you hear what he said?
He said that the storage ring repeatedly committed crimes despite repeated warnings, and that he was the one who patiently taught it. This statement is correct, but the next sentence is seriously flawed.
He said that the storage ring deserved to die, but even if it had no merit, it had still worked hard, and if it was punished, then he, as its owner, would be even more guilty.
This is a blatant message to Xiao Boqi: I am that worthless thing called the storage ring; I stole things, but the responsibility lies entirely with you.
I regard you as my master, and you are implicated in my mistakes. If you want to punish me, then your sins are even greater.
You decide what to do.
Looking at Huang Boqi, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and Huang Jiu, who was shirtless and bent over on the ground "forcing his way out," I almost laughed until I cried at the sight of him at the age of thirty.
The people of the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect are already quite eccentric, but compared to Daqi Xiaojiu, they are simply insignificant.
She also knew that the reason why Xiao Jiu dared to say that was because she was there.
As the mistress of the house, she naturally wouldn't let him actually bleed on the spot.
Even a charlatan would speak up for him.
Qin Feng had originally thought the same thing, but after kneeling there, he felt that this method was not very feasible.
Because the Crown Princess is beyond their comprehension. For the sake of the Crown Prince, she is capable of destroying the entire Dao Sect, and she hasn't even spared those old immortals living in the secret realm.
My method of forcing the emperor to abdicate, along with that of Ninth Master, probably won't work...
If the Crown Prince gets angry, he'll at most beat himself up. But if the Crown Princess misunderstands that he and Ninth Prince are going to betray the Crown Prince, then things will really get serious.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng held up the storage ring with both hands and handed it to Yi Boqi.
“Your Highness, this is the money I won in the gambling match during the arena. I am Your Highness’s loyal bodyguard, and everything I have is a gift from Your Highness. Naturally, everything I have belongs to Your Highness.”
Qin Feng's words made Xiao Boqi's expression much better; otherwise, these two things would have really made him lose face in front of his wife.
Is this a coup attempt?
Are you kidding me? You've got the nerve to steal things and even have the nerve to do it.
Who gave you your confidence, you two damned traitors?
But Qin Feng's words made Xiao Jiu's eyes widen, and he began to curse inwardly.
You son of a bitch, Qin Feng, you sold me out!
“Ah Jiu is right. Even if there was no merit, there was still hard work. It’s just a little money. Besides, the storage ring already knows it was wrong and will not do it again.”
When he spoke at the age of thirty, everyone felt reassured.
For Qin Feng and Yi Jiu, the Crown Princess's words meant the matter was over and all was forgotten.
For Huang Boqi, his wife had given him a way out, so he naturally accepted it. Besides, he had known about Qin Feng and Huang Jiu's petty theft for a long time.
Both men came from humble backgrounds and were of despicable character; the money they stole was not for extravagance, but for display.
He would casually unleash the treasures from his ring, then spin around grinning like an idiot.
This is what poverty is.
If they discover that a certain area of Daqi is experiencing famine due to war or other reasons, they will not hesitate to take out the money from their rings to help with the emergency.
The matter was harmless, but some criticism was necessary.
If those above do this, those below will inevitably follow suit, and if they, as the closest people to them, do this, it will inevitably lead to others imitating them and engaging in corrupt practices, which will cause chaos in Daqi.
Jin Mantang's words were spoken at the behest of the Eastern Prime Minister.
Because the one in Daqi who spoiled his subordinates the most was Crown Prince Yiboqi.
Everyone knows this, so this task can only be done by Dongfang Zhige, and it is something he has no choice but to do.
Now that the two guys have realized their mistake, Xiao Boqi is somewhat pleased.
Besides, he always thought that even if the two of them were greedy, how much could they possibly embezzle?
After Daqi unified the two divine lands, its fortune and wealth became countless, and the scale of Daqi's secret treasury expanded again and again.
The purpose of conquest is not just to live a better life. The two of them contributed the most during the conquest, so it's no big deal for them to take some money.
Daqi's secret vault is so vast, even if those two filled their storage rings to the brim, how much could they possibly store, just for a little bit of money... Boom!
