Chapter 227 The prince is under a lot of pressure!
Chapter 227 The prince is under great pressure!
On the emerald table, the glazed candle flickered on and off, and the fragrance curled up. Ye Junqing raised his eyebrows and looked at Ben Lei who was kneeling on the ground, his voice filled with sourness.
"You have long since taken off your armor and returned to the field. You are not considered a subordinate of this king, so you do not need to pay this grand ceremony."
"In Ben Lei's heart, the prince will always be his master!" Ben Lei knelt down devoutly in front of Ye Junqing and was very excited. It must have been how long since he last saw his master since he returned to the Imperial City of Dachu.
"I can't bear it, unless...unless you tell me, what exactly does Yao Mowan want to do? There is already a lot of iron ore in Linxi, why does she still covet the iron ore in Wake Mountain? One mouthful
If she can't eat to become fat, how will she digest the iron ore?" This is something Ye Junqing has never been able to figure out.
"Since Ben Lei's bow has put a lot of pressure on the prince, Ben Lei must be rude." Ye Junqing's question was too tricky, so Ben Lei had no choice but to stand up and stand respectfully to one side.
"You..." Just when Ye Junqing was about to get angry, the door suddenly opened and Yao Mowan walked in swayingly.
"There is no one in this world who is afraid of money. If Mo Wan has the ability to hoard iron ore, he has the ability to find buyers. If the prince wants to know something, he can ask Mo Wan directly. Don't embarrass Ben Lei." Yao Mowan subconsciously looked at it.
My eyes were full of thunder and I was very satisfied with his performance.
"I don't even bother to know." Ye Junqing glanced at Yao Mowan angrily.
"If the prince doesn't want to know, please go out for a walk. Mo Wan has something important to discuss with Ben Lei." Yao Mowan suggested as a matter of course.
"This is my king's residence!" Ye Junqing opened his eyes wide and reminded Yao Mowan kindly.
"Qinglong and the others are nearby. Wouldn't it be bad if they saw Mo Wan walking around the hotel with Ben Lei? Of course, if the prince is interested in Mo Wan's affairs, that's fine too.
Mo Wan won't mind if you stay." Yao Mowan sat down at the table before Ye Junqing could react.
"Who's interested!" Ye Junqing muttered, and when he stood up and passed by Ben Lei, he warned angrily, "I'll find the right place next time!"
Seeing Ye Junqing leave, Ben Lei plopped down and knelt on the ground.
"Ben Lei thanks you for your kindness to the prince!" Yao Mowan said when she found Ben Lei that day that all the things she asked Ben Lei to plan in the wilderness were preparations for Ye Junqing to be crowned emperor in the future.
"As long as you don't feel wronged." Yao Mowan pursed her lips slightly. Speaking of kindness, she owed Ye Junqing more.
"As long as it is for the good of the prince, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Ben Lei said firmly.
"I know your loyalty, otherwise I wouldn't leave the affairs of Mangyuan to you. Let's get back to the subject, this time I asked you to bring wind, rain, thunder and lightning to the Loulan Kingdom, and the purpose is the iron ore in Mount Wei. Now Yue, Shu
, The envoys from the three kingdoms of Qi have all arrived, and I believe King Loulan will soon come up with conditions, so we will wait for the opportunity and strive to share this share of the pie with these three kingdoms." Yao Mowan ordered softly.
"I obey my orders." Ben Lei Gong Fist accepted the order, sincerely convinced.
Just as Yao Mowan expected, when King Loulan sent someone to post the announcement at the hotel the next day, everyone in the hotel had an ugly look on their faces.
'By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict saying that the iron ore in Mount Wei is rich. Now I am willing to share the iron ore with the neighboring country. Following the principle of whoever pays the highest price, regardless of geographical boundaries, it will all be based on the highest price. In addition, if an envoy from any country can
Having won the favor of Princess Zhaoyang, I am willing to give away three thousand Tiekuang seats free of charge. - King Loulan'
"You have the nerve to talk about sharing?" Tingfeng looked at the list and said angrily.
"Excuse me, my lord, what do you mean regardless of geographical boundaries, all based on high prices?" Huangfu Junxiu slowly walked to the Loulan guards in strange clothes and asked curiously.
"It's very simple. Even if the iron ore is close to Dachu, if Shu is willing to pay a high price, then the iron ore will naturally go to the one with the highest price." Loulan's guard explained.
"That's interesting, but since the iron mines are close to Dachu, they won't let Shu send troops to mine across the border, right?" Huangfu Junxiu frowned and continued to speak.
"Don't worry, my lord, the emperor has already thought of this. As long as your lord is willing to pay, Loulan Kingdom will send people to the mountains to mine and will be responsible for transporting it to Shu. Therefore, it will not cause conflict between the two countries." After the Loulan guards explained this, everyone
Everyone was so sad.
"King Loulan, is this called sincerity? If we had said it was a money transaction, we wouldn't have come all the way here." Feng Yihan looked solemn and rebuked angrily.
"Don't be anxious, King Qi. This list clearly states that if anyone wins the favor of Princess Loulan Zhaoyang, King Loulan will give you three thousand iron mines free of charge!" Loulan's guard explained.
"It turns out that Loulan Wang Mingli invited the nobles of the Three Kingdoms to discuss the iron ore matter, but he was actually looking for a son-in-law." Ye Junqing said leisurely, thinking that this trip was in vain.
Everyone also saw the true intention of the announcement and agreed with Ye Junqing's statement.
"Anyway, the results have been published. Tomorrow King Loulan will personally send Princess Zhaoyang to the hotel to stay for a while and say goodbye." After saying this, the Loulan guards turned and left.
In the hotel, everyone had their own thoughts, but no one left.
"I should have thought that Kubudan would care about those iron mines when all the poor people in Loulan have money! I really shouldn't have taken this trip. We will leave tomorrow!" Ye Junqing complained in the room.
"That's not entirely true. By choosing a son-in-law so generously, King Loulan obviously loves Princess Zhaoyang very much. Whoever marries Princess Zhaoyang will have King Loulan as a backer. The prince has also met her, and so has Princess Zhaoyang.
She is a fairy beauty, Mo Wan advises the prince to think about it carefully." Yao Mowan held the teacup in her hand, took a sip, and suggested seriously.
"Even if she is as beautiful as a fairy, I will not take another look at her! You should know this!" Ye Junqing spoke fiercely.
"So it's really harmful to talk about love. My eldest sister has been dead for so long, why hasn't the knot in your heart opened up yet?" Yao Mowan said casually, but a strange feeling flashed through her heart.
"Yao Mowan!" Ye Junqing looked at him angrily.
"Even if I didn't say anything, even if the prince doesn't want to marry us, we can't leave." Yao Mo politely returned to the subject.
"Why?" Ye Junqing looked at Yao Mowan in confusion.
"Of course it's to prevent Zhaoyang from being captured, so that Shu can go! Otherwise, why do you think they didn't leave! And if Da Chu is out of luck, it doesn't mean that I'm out of luck!" Yao Mowan smiled at the corner of her lips. The moment she saw the list,
, Yao Mowan knew that her opportunity had come.
"Do you think Princess Zhaoyang will like Ben Lei?" Ye Junqing couldn't believe it.
"Why not?" Yao Mowan's smile became more and more weird, making Ye Junqing sweat drip down his face.
The next day at Shenshi, when King Loulan appeared at the hotel with his favorite daughter Princess Zhaoyang, everyone's eyes were stung by the glittering gold on King Loulan's body.
"Do you want to be so ostentatious? Aren't you supposed to be low-key?" Ye Junqing covered his eyes with his hands, commenting extremely speechlessly.
"But King Loulan really has no reason to keep a low profile. Mo Wan is not worried about anything else, but will it be heavy if he wears a pair of red gold shoes?" Yao Mowan was really worried about this old man who was over fifty years old.
