Chapter 363: Even if I Had the Guts to Do It, I Wouldn’t Dare

Xuanyuan Hao held the tea cup and fell into brief contemplation.

Once she knows what the problem is, it is not difficult to solve it. The key is how to completely eliminate her worries.

Xuanyuan Hao thought of his ancestor's decisive temper and really had no choice in dealing with her.

After a moment of silence, he nodded slowly: "Thanks to Nuan'er."

"There is no need to be polite between brothers and sisters." Chu Qinghuang said, "This time I came to Dongling. In addition to bringing Fucang to visit the emperor, I also wanted to borrow money from him."

Xuanyuan Hao said: "How much do you want to borrow?"

"Fucang and I each borrowed five million taels, making a total of ten million taels." Chu Qinghuang took a sip of tea and said, "This is what the father meant."

Xuanyuan Hao glanced at Fucang: "Is Xiqi very poor?"

"Very poor." Chu Qinghuang nodded, not caring about letting people know about Xiqi's predicament, "The money from confiscating the house is a drop in the bucket, and it is not enough to support the army."

Rong Zhan curled his lips: "My little sister is really a considerate little cotton-padded jacket. She uses her own money to raise troops for other countries."

"This is what it should be." Xuanyuan Hao glanced at him, "Since Nuan'er has become the Queen of Xiqi, she should do more things that a king should do for the people of Xiqi. Besides, the little sister was born because of Princess Xiqi. The opportunity to extend life and make Xiqi stronger during his reign is the best thank you gift to them."

Rong Zhan was silent and nodded: "Brother Huang said yes."

"Can the shadow guard next to you borrow five million taels of silver and be able to repay it?" Xuanyuan Hao said in a calm tone, "It wouldn't be worth so much if you sell him."

Fucang was immediately ashamed.

"If you sell it to me, five million taels is not too much." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "But he belongs to me originally, so there is no way to negotiate a sale. Brother Huang, don't worry, this money will definitely be used by Fucang in the future. Give it back to you.”

Fucang nodded silently: "If Senior Brother wants the head of the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang, I will get it. His head should be worth five million."

Of course, after taking the head, if Dongling wants to send troops to attack Northern Xinjiang and take over Northern Xinjiang, it will cost more than five million taels.

"The head of the king of a country is more than five million taels?" Chu Qinghuang glanced at him sideways, "You think of him as too worthless."

Fu Cang meekly said: "This price is not the price bid by my subordinates."

Although he didn't know how much the head of the Northern Xinjiang Emperor was worth, he knew the price of the Dongling Emperor. The Northern Xinjiang Emperor was definitely not as valuable as the Dongling Emperor's head, so...

Five million is about the same.

He is not greedy. As long as someone is willing to pay, he is willing to take the business.

Chu Qinghuang said: "The marked price does not represent the actual price, but the person who pays can only pay so much."

Fucang thought thoughtfully: "Master, what you mean is that the Northern Xinjiang treasury can only provide 10 million taels?"

"What ten million taels?" Rong Zhan raised his eyes and frowned, "Didn't you say five million taels just now? Why did it rise to ten million taels in a blink of an eye?"

As soon as these words came out, the Qinzheng Hall suddenly became quiet.

There was no special expression on Xuanyuan Hao's face, but his eyes were clear: "Someone is paying for my life."

This is a statement, not a question.

So there is no need for Fu Cang to answer.

"Imperial brother's life is only worth ten million taels?" Rong Zhan frowned, "Is Northern Xinjiang so poor?"

Fu Cang was silent for a moment: "This was the price a few years ago, but no one has ever accepted it."

Although money is important, what is the use of having money if there is no life?

Taking over this business is like stepping into hell. Who doesn't know how arduous this task is to be among the top three killers on the ranking list?

No one would be stupid enough to take the risk.

Rong Zhan narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Fucang, you don't want to take this business, do you?"

Fucang shook his head quickly: "No."

How dare he take this business? Even a leopard wouldn't dare to eat his ambition.

"I don't dare to measure you." Rong Zhan sneered, "How many years has the Xiqi Dark Pavilion been built? Even if you are the top shadow guard in Xiqi, you may not be ranked in Dongling. How dare you in your mind? If you have any thoughts that you shouldn’t have, I won’t allow you to come and go.”

Chu Qinghuang frowned: "Second brother, don't bully Fucang."

Rong Zhan Youyuan: "..." Sure enough, he has a sweetheart, and even his second brother doesn't take him seriously.

"I don't want the head of the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang. You need to find another way to repay this money." Xuanyuan Hao is not interested in conquering the world. "Northern Xinjiang is close to Xiqi. If my sister wants it, I can help you as my brother." ”

Chu Qinghuang shook his head: "I don't have this idea for the time being. Xiqi still has many problems that need to be solved urgently, and he has no energy to think about other things."

Xuanyuan Hao hummed, turned to look out the window, stood up and said, "It's getting late. I've asked someone to prepare dinner. If you have any questions, we'll talk over dinner."
