Ch 83: Alright, I’ll Buy It
Li Hanzhou was somewhat surprised. Could Shi Ming possibly have talent in this area?
“Martial Uncle, it seems that the Second Prince intends to harm us,” Shi Ming whispered to Li Hanzhou.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Li Hanzhou chuckled, saying, “Second Highness is a good person. He called me here today to give Martial Uncle money.”
“Ah?”
Shi Ming’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Please have a seat.”
The Second Prince also politely addressed Li Hanzhou and the other.
Also present were some of his generals, each giving Li Hanzhou and the other a strained smile, feigning politeness.
Li Hanzhou didn’t care about that, and he sat down carelessly, casually grabbing a grape from the table to eat.
“Mm, so sweet.” Li Hanzhou picked up the grape and popped it into his mouth.
“The Great Priest is truly a magnanimous person,” the Second Prince also sat down, and then introduced his generals to Li Hanzhou.
Li Hanzhou nodded to each of them.
“Second Highness is probably the only prince among all the princes who holds military power, right?” Li Hanzhou asked indifferently.
Hearing this, the Second Prince proudly puffed out his chest, and then feigned politeness, saying, “Great Priest, you’re joking. This isn’t military power, just some guards. Father Emperor allowed me to lead a small team for training, managing only three thousand soldiers.”
“Not bad,” Li Hanzhou nodded. Three thousand soldiers weren’t a small number.
But it’s still insufficient for a rebellion.
Yun Po was very enthusiastic, toasting Li Hanzhou cup after cup with his soldiers.
As for Shi Ming, the Yunhuang Young Master, they didn’t pay him any attention at all, because they could all see that Li Hanzhou was the person in power in Yunhuang, perhaps this Yunhuang Young Master was just a puppet.
After three rounds of drinks and five courses of dishes.
Yun Po finally shifted the topic to the main point.
“Earlier, Great Priest said that your Star Luo Kingdom lost a lot of Crimson Flame Fruits, right?” Yun Po asked with a smile, “I wonder if the Great Priest still wants those Crimson Flame Fruits.”
“Of course, those are treasures of our Star Luo Kingdom,” Li Hanzhou sighed, “Unfortunately, our Star Luo Kingdom depends on those things to survive.”
“I wonder how much each one sold for before,” Yun Po casually inquired.
“When things were good, they could probably sell for one hundred taels each,” Li Hanzhou raised his wine cup and took a sip.
“Good!”
Yun Po shouted “Good!”, then said, “To be honest, I bought a lot of Crimson Flame Fruits from someone else. As soon as I heard it was Crimson Flame Fruit, I thought it might be the batch that Great Priest lost, so I bought them at a great cost. If Great Priest needs them, as long as you give me my capital, you can take all the Crimson Flame Fruits.”
“Ah?”
Li Hanzhou was stunned.
“You bought Crimson Flame Fruits?” Li Hanzhou said in surprise.
“Yes.”
Yun Po waved his hand, taking out the Crimson Flame Fruits from his storage bag, and the Crimson Flame Fruits tumbled onto the ground.
“Because I thought it was the Great Priest’s treasure, I bought them all. Since the Great Priest can sell them for one hundred taels of silver each, I’ll sell them to the Great Priest. How about ninety taels each? Let the Great Priest net ten taels.”
“Although it’s not much, it can still add to Star Luo Kingdom’s income, right?”
Yun Po looked at Li Hanzhou with a smile, wanting to see his reaction.
If Li Hanzhou was willing to buy, that would be best. Although selling them for ninety taels each would cause him to lose a lot, he could at least repay the debts of several clans.
If he refused to buy, it would mean he had a problem, and the three hundred axemen and two Profound Connection Realm strong persons would immediately strike and capture Li Hanzhou and the other.
Li Hanzhou’s face gradually turned cold, and he quietly picked up his wine cup and sipped it.
“Second Highness, you said you met someone selling them, so you bought them all, right?” Li Hanzhou asked.
“Yes, because I considered them to be things from your Star Luo Kingdom, so I bought them all,” Yun Po observed Li Hanzhou’s expression.
“Good, good!”
Li Hanzhou applauded, “Second Highness, in front of Your Majesty, I have already said that all of our Star Luo Kingdom’s Crimson Flame Fruits were stolen. That is to say, the person selling the Crimson Flame Fruits is very likely the person who stole our Star Luo Kingdom’s Crimson Flame Fruits. Highness encountered such a person, why didn’t you notify us? Maybe you could catch the thief. As a result, you actually bought everything and now you’re selling it to me? What is Highness doing?”
“Mm?”
Hearing this, Yun Po was stunned.
He realized that what he said did have loopholes.
But how could he show cowardice in front of Li Hanzhou?
“Great Priest misunderstood,” Yun Po quickly said, “The person who sold me the Crimson Flame Fruits was extremely strong, a mysterious Sword Immortal. I know that Great Priest’s cultivation level is not low, but facing a Sword Immortal, you are very likely to suffer a loss. That’s why I didn’t dare to notify the Great Priest. I was worried about your safety, right? So I made a decision on my own to buy the things. I hope Great Priest won’t mind.”
“Oh, I see,” Li Hanzhou suddenly understood, “So it was a Sword Immortal. No wonder they could steal treasures from my Star Luo Kingdom.”
“Yes, I don’t know exactly which Sword Immortal it was, but it was definitely a Sword Immortal,” Yun Po said, “That Sword Immortal also came to my mansion a few days ago to kidnap someone. Many people in the Divine Capital saw it. If you don’t believe it, Great Priest can go ask around.”
“Second Highness is joking, how could I not believe Second Highness?” Li Hanzhou said with a smile.
“Then, Great Priest, will you buy these Crimson Flame Fruits?” Yun Po stared at Li Hanzhou and asked.
“Buy! Why wouldn’t I buy them?” Li Hanzhou said, “Second Highness helped me retrieve the Crimson Flame Fruits and even paid money to sell them to me. I’m grateful. I will definitely report to Your Majesty and give Second Highness a good reward.”
“Good!”
Hearing that Li Hanzhou would buy them, the smile on Yun Po’s face grew even wider.
As long as Li Hanzhou bought the things, he didn’t mind losing some money now.
“Then, how much merchandise does Second Highness have?” Li Hanzhou asked.
“Three hundred thousand!” Yun Po suppressed his excitement and said, “Great Priest, just give me twenty-seven million taels of silver.”
“Alright, no problem.”
Then, Li Hanzhou took out a stack of banknotes from his storage bag.
Each one was worth one hundred thousand taels.
Seeing such a thick stack, Yun Po almost swallowed his saliva.
Li Hanzhou counted them and said, “Highness really helped me a lot, I’m so grateful. I wonder where the goods are.”
“The goods are all here!”
Then, Yun Po directly handed his storage bag to Li Hanzhou.
“Three hundred thousand Crimson Flame Fruits are all inside, not one less!”
