The lamps matured forty-five days ago, and the golden cypresses were picked by hand on the same day, and then rushed to Julu Port without stopping.
The trading time Luo Jingzhou mentioned happened to be after Jin Bai and others arrived at Julu Port.
Cao Yanhua first stole the lamp from him and then sold it to the state of Fan?
"What happened next, did you give me the money?"
Luo Jingzhou nodded: "Mr. Chen succeeded in refining the heart lantern, so he humbly accepted the order of my king and sent 35,000 silver to the guest room of Laorong Inn."
"It turns out that the money was given after the refinement was completed. Cao Yanhua was really sincere in his dealings." This is also a big doubt.
Dong Rui couldn't help but cough slightly behind him, and He Lingchuan knew what he wanted to say.
Isn't the person named Cao afraid that King Fan will steal his money? This old man's reputation doesn't seem to be very good.
Knowing that they didn't believe it, King Wei said proudly: "I'll teach you that our country doesn't steal or steal, and we don't do such low-grade things!"
The main ingredient for refining the heart lamp used by his son does come from the Xiaoyao Sect. But so what?
He bought it with money!
The soul-capturing mirror sneered in He Lingchuan's arms: "I just bought the stolen goods."
But He Lingchuan could understand King Fan’s logic:
If he did not steal or rob, he would be worthy of the country of Mou.
If Mou Guo and Xiaoyao Sect are to blame, they can only blame their own people for guarding and stealing.
Sure enough, King Wei then said: "Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Instead of asking for help from me, the envoy should return to Xiaoyao Sect and find Cao Yanhua."
He Lingchuan pondered: "How many times have you contacted Cao Yanhua?"
"Just once." King Wei glanced at Luo Jingzhou, who immediately answered, "Cao Yanhua has said before, it is not easy to get this bright lamp. In order to avoid failure, please don't contact us midway."
"I wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but it turned out that what he was selling was real medicine." King Wei said calmly, "I shouldn't have made this transaction public, but the matter is serious and I won't cover it up for Cao Yanhua."
Dong Rui rolled his eyes a few times and held back his complaints.
Kill the donkey. Is Cao really that stupid?
For 35,000 taels of silver, you dare to bet that King Fan will not sell him right away?
Why is he so confident in King Fan’s character?
Well, of course, for ordinary people, thirty-five thousand taels of silver is already a huge amount of money that cannot be earned in a lifetime.
"It's weird." The soul-capturing mirror also clicked its tongue, "I don't blame you for saying that this case is full of doubts. The person named Cao did this, and there are flaws everywhere. It seems that he is seeking death."
"The envoy will naturally go to the Xiaoyao Sect." He Lingchuan took a deep breath, knowing that the focus of the night was coming, "However, does the king have a plan on how to deal with the stolen tribute from Mou State?"
King Wei stared at him coldly: "The things I bought with money are for my own use. Is there any problem?"
"The emperor told me to get back the tributes." He Lingchuan looked directly at him, "Now the stolen tributes from our country are in the Royal Palace!"
Being backed by a big country means being tough, and even being an envoy can be aggressive.
He Lingchuan finally had a small experience of how Yu Zecheng felt when he faced the Yangshan Islands.
"You have lost your tribute, what does it have to do with our country?" King Kun didn't care and waved his hand, "I'm not unreasonable. Let's do this. I wrote a letter to Emperor Mou, and you can just send it back for me.
Already."
Does he want to dismiss such a huge case so lightly? Does he think that the anger of a big country can be easily wiped out? This old man is pretending to be stupid and acting like a rogue. Dong Rui and Jin Bo, who are standing behind, are speechless, and He Lingchuan is even more straightforward:
"The emperor hopes that your country will return the tribute and forge a good relationship between the two countries."
"My son needs to use the lamp of his heart, and he cannot leave it for a day." King Hong smiled again, "Now that the matter has come to this, if your country is generous enough to transfer it, I should forge a good relationship for the two countries.
What do you think?"
He Lingchuan immediately said: "This matter is of great importance. Please think carefully, Your Majesty."
"Significant, what is important?" King Wei rolled his eyelids, "The bright lamp in our country is related to the country! What use does it have to the country of Mou? Can it be more important than the country? This thing only lights up every thirty years. You used to
I’ve already collected four or five cups, isn’t it enough?”
The soul-capturing mirror groaned: "This old guy, how can he still be justified in taking other people's things without returning them?"
He Lingchuan kept smiling. King Fu's logic was also commonly used by immortal cultivators in the past. It was called "the treasures of heaven and earth, those with virtue (use them) will live in them."
"I don't know how Mou Guo used the lamp after he took it away; but historically, this thing has been prone to disasters, so please be careful."
Is this little guy threatening him?
King Wei's eyes were stern. How dare this boy, who has no hair even, dare to threaten him just because he is from the country of Mou?
"What does it have to do with whether there is a disaster or not? What does it have to do with being a bright lamp? I think that the only way to die is to keep your mouth shut!"
"You're just a messenger, and I don't want to embarrass you." King Wei leaned back and said wistfully, "Send the letter back to me, and your job will be over. Do you understand?"
The palace attendant next to him held out a tray with a letter on it.
Since King Wei took the warning as a threat, He Lingchuan didn't say much, stretched out his hand to take the letter and put it in his arms.
At this time, King Wei changed his sitting position and seemed to be a little uncomfortable. Concubine Mei held his shoulders for him, with a concerned look on his face. He stroked Concubine Mei's hand and patted it twice.
This old man and his young wife fed everyone in the palace a mouthful of dog food.
King Wei smiled at He Lingchuan again: "You can stay in Xuncheng for a few more days. I will send someone to escort you to Julu Port to avoid trouble on the way."
"I understand with good intentions, but we still have to go to Xiaoyao Sect to find Elder Cao."
King Wei said: "Yes, you still want to investigate the case."
So He Lingchuan and others resigned.
Mei Fei raised her head and secretly watched them leave.
Perhaps because she had been paying attention for a little too long, when Mei Fei looked away, she suddenly found King Wei staring at her, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
King Wei's eyes were full of displeasure: "What are you looking at?"
His little princess is indeed kind-hearted, but she stood up to others a few days ago, and today she looks at people's backs. Is it possible?
Concubine Mei whispered: "I am just worried that if Mou Guo loses his heart, will he... refuse to give up?"
Her eyes were indeed full of worry.
King Wei narrowed his eyes and snorted disdainfully: "Today we are meeting the envoys of Mou, just to give them a little face. Otherwise, Mou is far away from us and is at war with Bejia. How can it have the right to embarrass us?"
Mei Fei was cautious: "What if Mou State defeats Bejia? Will it come to trouble us later?"
King Wei couldn't help laughing: "How is it possible! Women are short-sighted. Bejia is a country favored by heaven. It has a vast territory and strong soldiers and horses. It has few opponents in the world!"
Although the country of Wei lives in a corner of the Golden Flash Plains, it has also heard the legend of Bega.
"What about Mou Guo?"
"Mou State is far behind Bejia." King Wei chuckled twice, "It can't even handle Ya State, which is always against it! Oh, have you ever seen Bejia unable to deal with the surrounding countries?"
Concubine Mei seemed to understand but still nodded: "I am Wang Ruibo."
￥￥￥￥￥
After leaving the palace, Jin Bai thanked He Lingchuan.
King Wei made his position clear, and just as He Lingchuan predicted, Shadow Yaguard could report King Wei's attitude to Mou Guo.
What happens next is up to Emperor Mou to decide, it is not their turn to make their own decisions.
He Ling also completed the task of acting as a temporary special envoy to meet with King Fan, so he handed King Fan's letter to Jin Bo:
"Let you handle it."
Jin Bo collected the letter solemnly: "I'll rush back to the inn to fix my book, you two?"
Dong Rui turned his back to Jin Bo and winked at He Lingchuan repeatedly: "Come on, hurry up, lest these guys ask them to work in vain again."
"Let's go directly to Xiaoyao Sect." He Lingchuan remembered Baimao Mountain and wanted to see it first, "Let's meet there."
"Okay." Jin Bai handed the Xiaoyao Sect's token to He Lingchuan, and the two parties parted ways here.
He hurried back to Rulin Inn.
They came out early in the morning, and now the sun is starting to set.
Jin Bai had something on his mind and didn't want to hang around outside, so he strode into the inn.
To be continued...
