Xiao Tianyao taking the pill is like a compromise like an assassin. Before the medicine takes effect, Xiao Tianyao will be captured and let the assassin take him down.
With two "clicks", the assassin stepped forward. The first thing he did was to remove Xiao Tianyao's arm, which showed how deeply the assassin could defend against Xiao Tianyao.
"I'm sorry." Lin Chujiu said apologetically, looking at Xiao Tianyao who had his arm removed by the assassin.
She admits that she has worked hard, but if she is in danger, it is of no use at all. Not only can it not help Xiao Tianyao, but it drags him down.
"Nothing." Xiao Tianyao didn't change his face or frowned when his arm was removed, as if he didn't know the pain. The little prince Xuanyuan Yu looked in his eyes and was shocked in his heart, and once again felt the gap between himself and Xiao Tianyao.
However, thinking about the age gap between him and Xiao Tianyao, the little prince Xuanyuanyu calmed down again. He is still young. When he grows to the age of Xiao Tianyao, he will definitely be as powerful as Xiao Tianyao. No, he will be even more powerful than Xiao Tianyao. , because he is the prince of the empire!
Xiao Tianyao was captured, and his personal guards didn't have to fight anymore, they could only be captured just like Xiao Tianyao.
"Kill them and leave none of them!" However, the assassins obviously didn't want to take their guards away. Too many people would be a burden to them, so killing them would be the easiest way to do it, but Xiao Tianyao disagreed: "Take them, no matter where you go from here. How much money the emperor of the empire gets, I will give each of them 10,000 taels..."
Xiao Tianyao paused for a while when he said this, and saw the assassin's disapproval before spit out the word "gold".
Xiao Tianyao brought a total of twelve personal guards, each with 10,000 taels of gold, which is 120,000 taels of gold. This is definitely a large amount. Not to mention assassins, even the little prince was stunned.
The 120,000 taels of gold are used to train personal guards and dead soldiers, not to mention 12, but 120, 1,200, and 12,000 are enough. Xiao Tianyao is really willing.
"120,000 taels of gold, just for them? Lord Xiao, are you sure?" Apparently the assassin didn't believe it either.
120,000 taels of gold is not a small amount, even if a little prince in Dongwen could take it out, he would still be hurt.
Without waiting for Xiao Tianyao to answer, the Twelve Guards knelt down with a plop and choked: "My lord, our lives... are not worth so much gold, please don't waste it for us."
They were moved by the prince's maintenance, but they didn't want the prince to waste money. As the prince's confidant, they knew better than anyone how much money the prince needed to raise troops every year, and how much effort he spent every year to raise money.
Spending 120,000 taels of gold on them is such a waste, they would rather die.
Their lives are not worth 120,000 taels of gold.
"This king's people are worth 120,000 taels of gold." Xiao Tianyao answered two questions in one sentence.
"Your Highness..." The guards called out to Xiao Tianyao in unison, wanting to refuse, but they met Xiao Tianyao's stern eyes, but couldn't say a word.
They, who have been trained for a long time, only know how to obey orders, and they can't disobey the king's orders at all.
"Okay, King Xiao, just for the sake of your willingness to pay 120,000 taels of silver for your twelve subordinates, I will trouble you to take them away." The assassin responded readily and motioned for his subordinates to step forward. Remove the arms of the Twelve Guards, as for the medicine
Medicines also cost money, so I would be reluctant to feed them to ordinary guards.
"Lord Xiao, I respect you for being a man. Today, this offends me." The assassin was full of bandit, and he obviously admired Xiao Tianyao very much.
"I just hope that your Excellency will keep your promise and don't hurt us." Xiao Tianyao said lightly, not proud of the other party's value.
"Don't worry, I will never embarrass you. I will release you immediately when I get the money. As for your personal guards? What do you bring gold, I will release them whenever you want. Until then, I will definitely treat them with delicious food and drink." He said carelessly, not at all worried that after Xiao Tianyao was released, Xiao Tianyao led his troops to destroy them.
"Brothers, go." After taking everyone down, the assassin waved his hand, and the assassin tied their hands and feet, blindfolded them, and threw them into the carriage one by one.
Xiao Tianyao, Lin Chujiu, and the little prince are the key care targets. The three of them are in a carriage. As for Xiao Tianyao's twelve personal guards, they are not treated so well. , led by the assassin.
After leaving the inn, the group instantly disappeared into the night, like a ghost at midnight. The speed and the lightness of the movements were staggering.
The carriage was moving at a high speed, and the people were uncomfortable. The little prince twisted and twisted, and it took a long time to find a suitable posture. He quietly lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Tianyao, Lin Chujiu, are you all okay? That... I didn't mean to hide my identity. Yes, you won't be mad at me, will you?"
The little prince admitted that he admired Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu a little bit, especially when Xiao Tianyao said that he was willing to exchange 120,000 taels of gold for the lives of 12 personal guards.
At that moment, he really felt that Xiao Tianyao was too great and too handsome. Among the people he knew, except for his father, no one could compare to Xiao Tianyao.
"I'm fine, is the wound on your neck okay?" Xiao Tianyao ignored the little prince, and it was Lin Chujiu who spoke.
As for what the little prince said about concealing his identity? Only the little prince felt that he concealed his identity very well. In fact, they knew it for a long time, but they just pretended not to know.
"It hurts a little bit, it's a little dizzy, it's not good." Not only did he have a wound on his neck, but he was also slapped on the face. It hurts a lot, and it hurts even more when he speaks.
"You hold back and let them deliver some medicine when you reach your destination." Lin Chujiu had medicine on her body, but they are now tied up like zongzi, how can they get medicine
"Yeah." The little prince replied softly, like an injured little wolf cub, low and sullen. After a moment of silence, seeing that Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu had not spoken, the little prince couldn't help it. He said, "You said... Will they really let us go? What if they get the money and don't let us go? Are we going to die?"
After all, the little prince was still a teenager. Although he was born in the palace, he was obviously well-protected. Some were spoiled, and he had never encountered any danger. It was inevitable that he would be uneasy when he suddenly encountered this.
But other people can understand him, but Xiao Tianyao can't understand: "How did you grow up so big in the palace?" Fourteen or fifteen year olds, let alone in the royal family, even ordinary people are considered half-aged teenagers. Governor, but this little prince is naive.
"You... look down on me?" Although Xuanyuan Yu was well protected, he wasn't stupid. He couldn't hear Xiao Tianyao's ridicule.
His self-esteem was repeatedly attacked, and Xuanyuan Yu's glass heart couldn't hold it anymore.
"Are you really stupid or fake?" Before Xuanyuanyu got angry, Xiao Tianyao said: "You don't think naively that the empire will really spend money to redeem us?"
"Why not?" Xuanyuanyu's irritable mood was instantly cooled down by Xiao Tianyao's words, and even sluggish for a moment.
The Empire will not spend money to redeem them, how is this possible
