Chapter 1010

The little couple's dialogue was annihilated in the long road without results.

Seven days later, Nalan night and his party finally took Xiao Yuqi into the territory of Western Chu.

Although a carriage was arranged for Xiao Yuqi and someone was waiting on him all the way, the acupoints were not untied. The daily three meals and meals were the same as ordinary guards. They didn't take him to crown prince Dongwan on the spot.

Xiao Yuqi also seemed to know himself clearly. He didn't complain. Instead, he ate rice, drank water and slept when he could. Except that he didn't speak much, he looked like he was at the disposal of the king.

When Luo qingluan and Nalan night finally saw Nangong Qing, it was just his 25th birthday.

The palace has been decorated with joy. The concubines are dressed in red and green. They are greeting Su Yi in Xizhao palace and discussing the specific matters for Nangong Qing's birthday. Long Ning did not appear. Since the accidental miscarriage, she has changed her temper more and more. She is irritable and depressed all day and doesn't like to see people.

Su Yi was really stunned when she saw Luo qingluan appear.

After staring at Luo qingluan for a long time, he got up and murmured, "qingluan, are you... Really you?"

She just didn't want Su Yi to miss her and stimulate her. Luo qingluan didn't send someone to inform her of her safe return in advance. It was not until she and Nalan returned to the capital that they sent someone to tell Nangong Qing, and she naturally came into the palace to see Su Yi.

The concubines were also surprised. They hadn't seen Princess Chu for a long time. Although it was strange, they didn't understand why the empress was so rude.

"Met Princess Chu." The concubines took the lead in saluting.

Luo qingluan came in with a smile and nodded to Su Yi. The latter finally reacted and directly grabbed her.

"Qingluan, why are you back? The king of Chu is..." seeing Luo qingluan, Su Yi wanted to ask her what happened. The words were all out. Finally, she remembered that the occasion was wrong. Su Yi quickly ordered her concubines to leave. She wanted to ask Luo qingluan what had happened during this period.

When the Xizhao palace was quiet and there were only two people left, Luo qingluan told the story roughly.

Although she said it briefly, most of the crisis situations were ignored, and Su Yi's face changed greatly.

Finally, Su Yi calmed down for a long time, took Luo qingluan's hand and sighed: "it's OK, it's ok... Fortunately, qingluan, you're OK, otherwise I'm really to blame. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't..."

"It's none of your business. Why blame yourself."

Luo qingluan never blamed Su Yi, because even if she didn't accompany Su Yi to Beijun, she would sooner or later fall into Xiao Yuqi's calculation. It's not easy for her to avoid even if she has a mental calculation. Fortunately, she can recover her memory this time. Otherwise, she really doesn't know the consequences.

Thinking of Xiao Yuqi, Su Yi also sighed with emotion: "now, what are you going to do with the crown prince of Dongwan?"

Xiao Yuqi's identity made her understand that she could not be treated like ordinary people.

On the other hand, the same question was being asked by Xiao Yuqi. This was the first sentence he said after seeing Nangong Qing, the emperor of Western Chu.

With theout summoning other ministers, Nangong Qing met Xiao Yuqi who was brought back by Nalan night in Imperial library.

Although nalanye had already sent someone to tell him, Nangong Qing was still a little surprised when he really saw Xiao Yuqi. In terms of age, talent and scheming, Nangong Qing is actually inferior to Xiao Yuqi. But now, Prince Tangtang Dongwan was taken hostage and stood in front of him.

With enough etiquette, he asked Xiao Yuqi to sit down. Nalan night didn't stop him. He lifted his clothes and sat down, listening to Nangong Qing and Xiao Yuqi's casual greetings. The etiquette and formulaic greetings between the two countries are full of hypocrisy. Nalan night has always hated it. He just waited for Nangong Qing and Xiao Yuqi to say, and he was silent.

"Since the king of Chu brought me back and didn't kill me, he naturally wanted to discuss with his majesty and ask my father for it. My palace doesn't tell lies. As crown prince Dongwan, my father should agree as long as his Majesty's request is reasonable."

Xiao Yuqi didn't care either. He directly said what he thought. He hoped to pay some price in exchange for his own freedom.

He is not afraid of failure. As long as he is alive, there is hope.

And his identity is also doomed not to die easily. If the other party asks for something, he will not die!

Nangong Qing has been a close friend of Nalan night for many years. When Nangong Qing knew that he had captured Xiao Yuqi alive and brought him back to the Western Chu, Nangong Qing understood that the opportunity had come. This is definitely an opportunity for Western Chu Meng to gain great benefits. The hostage is the crown prince of Tangtang Dongwan state. It is impossible for Dongwan to save his life without paying a huge price.

"It's easy to say. Prince Xiao is also an understanding person. In fact, I, Xichu and Dongwan, have never violated the river. However, this time Prince Xiao went too far and seriously infringed on the dignity and interests of Xichu. If you don't pay any price, won't people all over the world think I, Xichu, are too easy to bully?"

Nangong Qing's gloomy face showed a sense of imperial dignity and said coldly, "I'm not a person who likes to make trouble, but I'm not a person who is afraid of things. Now Prince Xiao has become a guest of honor in Western Chu. Emperor Dongwan wants to invite Prince Xiao to return home. I'm afraid he has to think of more ways."

Although he had already prepared in his heart, Xiao Yuqi still sank in his heart: "if your majesty has any conditions, just say it."

Nangong Yu, a businessman who pursues profits, has always been the most interested in obtaining huge benefits. Then he smiled: "Prince Xiao doesn't have to worry too much. We will not talk to the lion in the West Chu. If it's for someone else, it'll be a ransom of 180000 Liang silver, and we'll let them go, but Prince Xiao, you..."

This is a serious evaluation of Xiao Yuqi as a cargo. I'm very upset to hear him.

When did Xiao Yuqi, the crown prince of Dongwan, fall into this situation? He was judged like a pig and a cow. How much is the calculated value? If it hadn't been for the wrong time, he would have turned over.

Nangong Yu didn't care about Xiao Yuqi's face at all, and said to himself: "after all, it's the crown prince's identity. It's below one person and above ten thousand people. If we want less, won't we fall into the name of crown prince Xiao?"

"..." Xiao Yuqi's face was blue, but he couldn't say a word.

Can he still yell? I'm afraid that as soon as he speaks, he will attract Nalan night's ridicule and say that he can't afford to lose. But if you don't scold, how can he vent his grievances? That's all. I'm afraid the lion in the West Chu really asks for too much. At that time, I'm afraid his father will be angry and he will be self defeating.

At last, Xiao Yu and Qi Mian calmed down and said with a strong smile: "it's good to say that I heard that the second prince has always been elegant and doesn't attach importance to power. He is an elegant figure. I don't know what the second prince has to say. My palace is all ears."

"Where, where! I dare not say! Although I am in the name of the second prince, I have always been a businessman." Nangong Yu was not fooled by Xiao Yuqi at all. He said with a smile: "my imperial brother broke his heart this time about the king of Chu and the princess of Chu, and almost even my imperial brother had an accident because of Prince Xiao's good advice. Prince Xiao, what you did this time... Is really too much."

Seeing Xiao Yuqi's face was very ugly, Nangong Yu was happy and continued: "if it's superfluous, the king won't mention it. I've thought about the compensation. I've made a list and have the right to show the emperor's brother, the king of Chu and Prince Xiao to see if there are any inappropriate places. I'll change them at that time."

"Oh, in that case, the second brother might as well talk about it." Nangong Qing nodded.

Nalan night was still pale, as if it had nothing to do with him, and sat quietly aside.

But the cold face still gave Xiao Yuqi great pressure. Among the three present, Nalan night was the most powerful, and he dared not attack.

Soon, Nangong Yu clapped his hands and immediately someone came in from the outside, holding a pamphlet in his hand and saluted respectfully.

"Grandpa sun, please read the above content." Nangong Yudao.

"Yes, second Lord." Sun Dafu didn't dare to ask big. He immediately answered, came forward, picked up the pamphlet, unfolded it and read it aloud.

The previous words are naturally some words, such as the history of diplomatic relations between Dongwan and Western Chu. They coexist peacefully. Now, because crown prince Xiao Yuqi was confused, he has done something to endanger the friendship between the two countries. In order to make up for the rift in the friendship between the two countries, the Western Chu was willing to send envoys to escort Xiao Yuqi home, but the implication was also obvious, and Dongwan needed to pay a certain price.

"Daliang city in the west of Dongwan mainly produces iron and silver mines with good quality, which we yearn for. There is also Haitian County in the north, bordering on the vast forest of yuncang in the West and the boundless land of the South China Sea in the East. It is a good place to benefit the people of one side. It would be good if Daliang city and Haitian County could be ceded to our western Chu."

What, Daliang city and Haitian county? Cede?

Xiao Yuqi was angry and said immediately, "no! Absolutely not!"

Dongwan was able to occupy the position of one of the four countries for a long time because of its rich products and rich minerals. Half of the country's supply is basically produced by daliangcheng and Haitian county. If these two places are ceded to the Western Chu, the economy of Dongwan will decline within ten years, and the consequences can be imagined.

Unexpectedly, in the face of Xiao Yuqi's refusal, Nangong Yu not only didn't stop, but looked at him and said, "what's the panic of Prince Xiao? The king hasn't finished yet!"

Xiao Yuqi was even more angry. It was impossible to agree to these two conditions. What else?

Then sun Dafu continued to read, and it was another colorful compensation project, specifically the number of gold and silver. Including the compensation for everyone killed in this incident, the extra expenses of the monks in Puji temple, the rehabilitation expenses, shock suppression expenses and spiritual loss expenses... I don't know where these various names came from. I heard that Xiao Yuqi almost wanted to hit people.

"All the compensation amounts were added up one by one, a total of..." seeing here, even sun Dafu's eyes trembled, and then he dared to read: "a total of 23.8 million taels of gold!"
