He was even more fortunate that she took the initiative to marry him.
"After coming to Sanzhou this time, I deeply realized how much the soldiers stationed at the border had to bear to protect the safety of the people of Dayuan."
If she hadn't discovered an underground palace by chance, she wouldn't have dared to imagine what those people would do in the Three Continents.
The news that the underground palace in Sanzhou was exposed naturally spread back to the capital.
In a house on the outskirts of the city, a man was dressed in black, still wearing the mask on his face, with his hands behind his back.
His subordinates were kneeling on the ground, shivering.
After a long while, the man asked with a gloomy face: "In other words, you not only exposed my underground palace, but also had many of my worms destroyed?"
The subordinates couldn't help but feel chills running down their spines: "This subordinate is incompetent! I am willing to be punished."
The masked man stared at the top of his hair with cold eyes, his emotions hidden under the mask.
After a while, the man said in a deep voice: "Get up. Since the underground palace has been discovered, it should be completely destroyed."
His subordinates couldn't help being frightened. He raised his face and asked uncertainly: "Destroyed?"
The man's tone was gloomy: "What? You can't bear to part with me?"
The subordinate dared to speak again, so he quickly responded: "I will go now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up, clasped his fists, and ran away quickly.
He was afraid that if he took a step too late, his blood would be splattered on the spot.
Jade City.
After a long night of waiting, the Beirong Emperor finally received a reply.
After Qi Qi got the letter, he ran to find Mo Jingzhan early in the morning.
"Prince Mo, our Majesty said that we in Beirong can pay two million taels of silver as compensation for this incident, but those two cities..."
The latter meaning is self-evident. Beirong did not want to cede the city, but was willing to pay money.
Mo Jingzhan looked at Li Huang and shook his eyebrows. What does that mean, what do you think?
Li Huang winked at him, which meant that cash would be fine.
Dayuan has suffered from natural and man-made disasters in the past two years, and the national treasury has long been unable to withstand it, and it is rare that the border officers and soldiers can be fully paid.
If we want those two cities, not to mention the people in Beirong who are difficult to manage, even the annual taxes, they may not be able to pay much.
Maybe Dayuan will need to invest a lot of money to develop their people's livelihood.
Nowadays, the three continents are suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is really inappropriate to cause extraneous problems.
Mo Jingzhan understood what she meant, and immediately looked at Qi Qi and said: "Three million taels, one million taels for a city, otherwise, the original conditions remain unchanged."
Qi Qi almost jumped up and scolded him like a lion, but he was frightened by the other party's power and swallowed it down again.
"Prince Mo, three million taels, isn't it too much? It's not been easy in Beirong these years, and I really can't afford so much money. Do you think we can discuss it?"
Mo Jingzhan raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Three million taels is more? Otherwise, you can give us those two cities. We don't want you, the people of Beirong. You can settle them yourself."
Qi Qi's face turned pale, feeling that this man was so shameless.
Taking away their city and asking them to resettle the people themselves would cost a lot of money later, so it would be better to pay them more money in the first place.
Qi Qi took a deep breath, resisted the urge to curse, and forced out a stiff smile: "Prince Mo, it's not easy for us to accommodate the people of these two cities. Besides, some people have lived there for generations.
Isn’t it bad to ask them to change places?”
Mo Jingzhan only drank tea and didn't talk.
However, there was an invisible pressure that made Qi Qi almost unable to straighten up.
Seeing that Mo Jingzhan didn't speak, he could only bite the bullet and speak again: "Three million taels from Beirong are really hard to come by, but two million taels is still okay. I hope Prince Mo will be generous and let our Beirong go."
.”
Two million taels is enough to make up for the military pay of the Sanzhou Army for the past two years.
Mo Jingzhan put down the teacup, sighed, and said in a pretentious manner: "Forget it, Mr. Qi is an old acquaintance. For the sake of our friendship for so many years, I will just be accommodating."
Qi Qi was overjoyed and was about to express his thanks, but what Mo Jingzhan said next almost made him curse.
He said: "Then I, the prince, will be very kind and let you compensate two million and a half million taels."
The fake smile on Qi Qi's face almost broke.
He always felt that the other party was scolding Beirong for being 250, but there was no evidence.
"Your Majesty..."
Qi Qi wanted to struggle again, but was interrupted by the guards beside Mo Jingzhan: "Master Qi, our prince has given you the biggest concession. If you are still not satisfied, wait until Fengcheng comes.
When the third city was captured, it was a different scene."
The implication is that the price is one and the same. If you don't nod today, you may not even have the two hundred and fifty tomorrow.
Qi Qi took a deep breath and said bravely: "Okay, two and a half million taels is two and a half million taels, but isn't this number too inappropriate?"
What he actually meant was that he wanted to have less.
Mo Jingzhan stood up and took Li Huang to leave: "If Mr. Qi feels something is wrong, I don't mind if you give me more. After all, I never mind having too much money."
Qi Qi: "..."
There are ten thousand words in his heart, and he doesn't know whether to say them or not.
But in the end, he could only watch as Mo Jingzhan and his wife left hand in hand.
He sighed, shook his sleeves dejectedly, and turned back to prepare the agreement documents.
Mo Jingzhan asked them to send the money to Sanzhou as soon as possible, otherwise, the siege on the border will not stop.
In order to quell the war as soon as possible, the Beirong court raised 2.5 million taels of silver as quickly as possible in its life, and sent it to Zaizhou in less than half a month.
After receiving the money, Mo Jingzhan happily released the Turkic soldiers.
By this time, the cracks in the earth had almost been filled in.
Let the captured Baili people do the rest.
However, the Baili people were rescued by a group of black-clad assassins.
When Luo Tong came to report, Mo Jingzhan was not too surprised.
"Young Master, those people have escaped, are you not in a hurry?"
Mo Jingzhan said calmly: "Why am I so anxious? If we don't let them go, how can we find their boss?"
Luo Tong looked at him in surprise: "Young Master, are you planning to take a long-term approach and catch big fish?"
Mo Jingzhan nodded: "Only a few people were arrested. I suspect there are many others who took advantage of the river water to lead into the underground passage, and many people ran away from other exits."
At present, the people of the entire three continents are under full supervision, and it will not be easy for the remaining parties to escape.
At this moment, a guard hurried in: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the eldest princess was surrounded by people at Caishikou."
Mo Jingzhan's expression changed when he heard this, and he rushed out in a swish.
