"I didn't order them to be killed, I just gave them a large sum of money to leave the Tiandou Empire." Feng Qianyan said slowly.
Facing Xue Qinghe's surprised look, Feng Qianyan said again, "I am not a cruel person."
"They are ordinary people, I don't need to kill them."
Feng Qianyan had the thought of killing someone to silence her, but she quickly put it aside because she felt it was unnecessary.
They were a group of ordinary people. It seemed to Feng Qianyan that they had no influence on their plans, so why kill them to keep the secret.
Feng Qianyan's heart has not yet reached that level of indifference.
In other words, he is not cruel enough.
Helpless emotions appeared in Xue Qinghe's golden eyes, and he whispered slowly: "You are very similar to her in this aspect."
"Everyone has their own ideas, and they are the ones who decide first and then tell the story later. To be honest, I quite admire you."
Xue Qinghe's tone became deeper, and his soft voice made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze and made their hearts feel comfortable.
The charm of language is really understood by Xue Qinghe.
"Your Highness, this is indeed my own decision." Feng Qianyan's expression remained unchanged, and her eyes did not show much apology.
She joined Wuhun Hall because of Ye Ling'an, and she didn't have a strong sense of belonging to Wuhun Hall. In Feng Qianyan's opinion, Ye Ling'an was the only one who could convince her.
As for the elders and the Pope of Wuhun Palace, now that they are not in front of them, Feng Qianyan naturally doesn't care about Xue Qinghe's attitude.
To put it nicely, Xue Qinghe is His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, and is their ally. To put it lightly, the cooperation between Xue Qinghe and Wuhun Palace will be ignored by Wuhun Palace sooner or later. There are people in Wuhun Palace who are more capable than Xue Qinghe.
More importantly, after taking away the rights of the Tiandou Empire, how could Xue Qinghe take over the rights?
To put it bluntly, Xue Qinghe is a puppet.
See the essence through phenomena.
Feng Qianyan thinks Xue Qinghe is not something to be afraid of.
She was standing on the side of Wuhun Palace. When Wuhun Palace took action, Xue Qinghe would be of no use.
Burning bridges across rivers has not never happened before.
"What? Isn't it possible that this prince can't convince you? By talking to me with such an attitude, did she give you confidence?" Xue Qinghe's eyes instantly turned cold, and his tone was no longer as gentle as before, showing a chill.
It can make people feel like they are in the snow.
She was not a fool, of course she could see Feng Qianyan's pride. To put it bluntly, she was incompetent in Feng Qianyan's eyes.
"You are the first person to be so presumptuous in front of this prince."
Xue Qinghe clenched her hands tightly, and the light golden soul power flowed out, surrounding them.
The next moment, the golden soul power dissipated instantly.
The veins on Xue Qinghe's hands bulged. The next moment she let go of her hands and elegantly put on white gloves to cover her hands.
She controls her emotions better than anyone else.
Even though Feng Qianyan was provoking her, Xue Qinghe still kept calm. There couldn't be any mistakes in their plan.
Furthermore, there were too many informants in the palace, and Xue Qinghe did not dare to take risks.
"You are very angry."
Feng Qianyan sneered and said, "What's there to be angry about? But you also control your temper, even if what I do makes you very unhappy."
Xue Qinghe had an angry expression written on his face, and she could naturally tell his mood.
"Just this once, never happen again."
Xue Qinghe's expression softened a little, "The premise is that you are sure that they will not leak the secret, otherwise they will still die."
This is Xue Qinghe’s warning.
In this world, only the dead can keep secrets. Feng Qianyan couldn't bear it and chose to let them live, so she had to bear the risks brought by this matter.
To put it bluntly, cruel people will go further.
It's not that Xue Qinghe is cruel enough, it's that she doesn't want to surrender to a few insignificant people after years of preparation.
She devoted more than ten years of her youth.
"Of course not." Feng Qianyan looked at her seriously, "I will kill them before they reveal the secret."
"I know you are saving their lives for my sake, but I am not a soft-hearted person."
"Anyone who threatens our existence should be eliminated."
To be able to become a political figure in the Tiandou Empire at this age, Feng Qianyan is naturally very capable, and her character is also tough enough.
We all have hundreds of minds, so why bother talking about those who have them and those who don’t.
Feng Qianyan made her words so clear, just waiting for Xue Qinghe's reaction.
Just because Feng Qianyan can't bear to treat ordinary people doesn't mean that she can be merciful to soul masters.
She just lamented the difficulty of ordinary people, had a natural affection for ordinary people, and had a little hostility towards soul masters.
Most of the soul masters had bad personalities, and Feng Qianyan was wary of them.
"You've already thought about it, do you still want to tell me about this?" Xue Qinghe looked at her with a half-smile, a faint smile in his golden eyes.
"I am emphasizing."
Feng Qianyan said with a serious face, "In addition to the deep-sea sunken silver, we also intercepted about three tons of incense stone."
"Um?"
"Fragrance stone can create armor that is immune to most poisons, which is very useful to us."
Fragrance stone is a rare mineral. Its function is to provide immunity to many poisons. Poison is the most used on the battlefield.
Although poisoning can be called a dirty trick, using poison can solve many troubles. It is impossible to guard against poison on the battlefield, which means that poison can play a great role.
When there is poison, there are armors that can restrain the poison. Nuggetite is one of them. The armor made by combining Nuggetite with other minerals can have the function of preventing poison.
"Three tons of fragrant stone can only make more than a thousand pairs of armor."
Xue Qinghe frowned slightly and said coldly: "The Tiandou Empire is rich in mineral resources, so it shouldn't be just this little incense stone."
"They said it was intercepted and dug out of a tomb passage." Feng Qianyan's expression changed instantly, "That tomb passage is close to the Sea Soul Master's territory, so it may have something to do with the Poseidon."
"That group of traffickers were caught by us in one fell swoop and have now been silenced. The news about the tomb passage has not leaked out."
With Wuhun Palace as the backing, Feng Qianyan could get the news faster and swallow the ore secretly before Emperor Xueye and others could react.
"Don't worry, the people escorting this batch of goods are the direct descendants of our Feng family. Their lowest level of cultivation is Soul Master. They set out at midnight today. At their speed, they can transport it there in less than a month."
Before the Feng family reached cooperation with Wuhun Palace, they followed the trade route, so naturally they had several teams to escort goods.
If you want to send this batch of ore to Wuhun City without being exposed, you can only use the power of the Feng family now.
"Since she has chosen to believe you, I will naturally not doubt your decision. Those who achieve great things will not stick to trivial matters."
Xue Qinghe's expression returned to normal, and he looked at Feng Qianyan with faint eyes, "Time flies so fast, it's been two or three years in a flash."
