Chapter 620 - 620 The hunter was here
620 The hunter was here
Prince Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty looked at each other.
Both of them were feeling down.
Being schemed like this was too much for them to bear.
Liang Yujun thought about it and asked, “Shall we charge out together?”
The princess from the previous dynasty raised her eyebrows.
“You don’t want these treasures anymore? ”
These were the treasures that determined whether the previous dynasty could turn the tables.
She could not give it up.
They had originally chosen to cooperate with Prince Jin because he had the other half of the treasure map and also because they wanted to help Prince Jin rebel.
After Prince Jin had taken over the capital, they would then catch him off guard.
Although she and Prince Jin had been fighting over the treasure earlier, both of them knew that they would tolerate each other no matter who won.
After all, they still had a cooperative relationship, which was to first work together to oust the emperor in the capital.
Now that the North Prince had suddenly appeared, it was too disadvantageous for them.
“Do you think we can still get the treasure now?” Prince Jin’s expression was unsightly.
Then, he gave a look to the princess from the previous dynasty, which probably meant that this was his territory. As long as they could get out, even if the North Prince got the treasure, he couldn’t get away with it.
The princess from the previous dynasty took a deep breath. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
This made sense.
The northern border was also the base camp for those from the previous dynasty. If they joined forces with Prince Jin, even if the North Prince got the treasure, he wouldn’t be able to leave the border.
They had so many of their people out there that he should not trifle with.
As soon as the two of them confirmed their intention to cooperate, they immediately ordered their people to rush to the door.
However, the North Prince had already taken precautions against this.
Apart from the people he brought in, he had also left a team of elites outside to handle those people under Prince Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty.
They had successfully taken control of those who Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty wanted to mobilize for the surprise attack.
After another chaotic battle, most of Prince Jin and the previous dynasty’s princess’s people were killed.
There were only two or three people left to protect them each.
The princess from the previous dynasty had a gloomy face.
She really didn’t expect that the person who used to sleep with her would hide his motive so deeply.
She looked at the North Prince. “You can take the treasure here. We don’t want it anymore. Let us go.”
“Do you think I’m a fool?” The North Prince chuckled.
“Let you out so that you can call for reinforcements to block me in the northern border and prevent me from returning to the Ge Kingdom? ”
The princess’s expression turned even uglier. “Zhuo Liang, what do you want?”
She raised her eyebrows again.
“You’re not thinking of killing me and Prince Jin, are you? ”
The North Prince shook his head and said in an even more arrogant and straightforward manner, “Killing all of you would not make up for my loss. I still want to keep all of you alive to deal with the emperor of Daliang.”
Zhuo Jun had been exposed, and so was his motive.
There was no need for him to hide his intentions.
Prince Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty were speechless. They were so annoyed.
Most importantly, they couldn’t refute him.
After all, even if the North Prince didn’t take advantage of this, they wouldn’t give up on rebelling.
The princess from the previous dynasty looked at the North Prince coldly.
“You won’t let us go, and you won’t kill us either. What do you want?”
The North Prince raised his eyebrows.
“Of course I’m going to take you as hostages. How can I transport the treasure out of the northern border if you’re not my hostages?”
Prince Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty were speechless. It annoyed them again.
It turned out that they had given up the treasure and had become the North Prince’s protective charm.
Liang Yujun’s scheme had failed again, and he was still a step behind the North Prince.
This made him feel even more aggrieved.
The North Prince looked at their sullen expressions, and the smile on his face deepened.
“Don’t worry. When we reach the border, I will let you go.”
He was not in a good mood.
After all, he had only planned to lose at most one-third of his people.
Now that Xiao Hanzheng had exposed them in advance, he had lost more than half of his men after dealing with those that were working for Prince Jin and the previous dynasty’s princess.
They were the cream of the crop that he had brought out, and he was very distressed.
Because of this, he looked at Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo with a heavy gaze.
“As for the two of you, please follow me to the Ge Kingdom as guests.”
When the time was right, he would get hold of Shi Qingluo and exploit all the money-making methods she knew for his personal use.
Xiao Hanzheng would be thrown into his mansion as a lowly manservant and tortured badly.
Since they dared to ruin his plan, he naturally wanted to make Xiao Hanzheng and his wife suffer a fate worse than death.
Shi Qingluo pretended to be afraid. “Oh no, we’re so scared.”
However, there was no fear on her face, which made the North Prince very unhappy.
The North Prince suddenly had a bad feeling. “Don’t tell me that you guys still have a backup plan? ”
But that didn’t seem right either. The secret guards that Xiao Hanzheng had brought with him had been stopped by his other troop.
Xiao Yuanshi and Prince Yi went to the border and brought almost all their people along.
It was reasonable to say that Xiao Hanzheng didn’t have many people he could use.
This was also what Prince Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty thought, which was why they were not so afraid of Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.
Shi Qingluo chuckled. “No, we’re not. We’re just here to join in the fun.
“We haven’t been to the Ge Kingdom yet, so it’s not a bad idea to have some fun there. Anyway, it’s useless to be afraid.”
She was deliberately provoking the North Prince so that he would hurry up and do his work.
This explanation made sense anyway.
As expected, the North Prince was still doubtful, but he did not plan to delay the matter any further.
He ordered his men to detain Prince Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty, while the rest of the people went to pick up the gold, silver, and jewelry that were scattered on the ground.
They didn’t bring any boxes, but they did bring a lot of sacks.
There was too much gold, silver, and jewelry scattered there, so it took nearly an hour to finish packing.
After packing it, the North Prince heaved a sigh of relief.
“Retreat!” he said.
At this moment, a melodious male voice rang out from the door. “North Prince, since you’re already in Daliang, how can you not come to Beijing as a guest?”
Then, Prince Yi in a white robe came in with his men.
With Prince Yi’s appearance, everyone except Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo was stunned.
Liang Yujun couldn’t help but ask, “Didn’t you go to the border?”
Unless he flew back, how could he be here so fast?
This was also what the North Prince and the princess from the previous dynasty wanted to ask.
Their people had personally watched Prince Yi go to the border.
The North Prince’s men had even seen Prince Yi at the border a few days ago.
He had even received a letter from an eagle in the morning.
“Who doesn’t have many doubles?” Liang Yulin laughed.
Then he looked at them in surprise. “Wait, you guys don’t have one? ”
The North Prince, Prince Jin, and the princess from the previous dynasty were all speechless. Screw your doubles.
But they really didn’t have them…
Who would get a few doubles for no reason? The key was to find someone who looked similar and train him/her to act like them in every way.
It was too difficult.
Liang Yujun wanted to vomit blood. “So you found a substitute to help you go to the border and fool our eyes, but in reality, you’re hiding sneakily. In the end, you’re out to be the oriole?”
He would feel aggrieved and unwilling to lose to the North Prince, but he would be so angry that his heart would ache if he lost to his bastard brother.
Liang Yulin raised his index finger and wagged it. “No, the North Prince is the oriole. I’m just a hunter.”
The North Prince was speechless. Hunter your ass.
He also wanted to vomit blood.
