The eldest prince didn't want one soldier or one soldier, he only brought one million taels of gold, and he drove lightly all the way, and arrived at the trading location set by the bandits at noon the next day.
"His Royal Highness, do you really want to use gold to redeem people?" The Martial Saint and the soldiers who were brought by the third prince, blushed when they saw the gold brought by the first prince.
It was their uselessness that made the empire threatened by a group of bandits.
"The lives of the third and seventh brothers are more important. King Xiao and Princess Xiao are now guests of our empire, and we mustn't let them have an accident. Gold is a trivial matter. We'll talk about everything after we save them." The third prince was full of confidence. , The complacent difference is extraordinary, the first prince has changed his previous irritable, belligerent, and calm way.
"His Royal Highness said that the most important thing now is to ensure the safety of the third prince and others, and everything else is easy to handle." Although the empire is large, it is still very easy to find a few bandits no matter how big it is.
This group of bandits are destined to take gold, but it does not mean that they have fate.
"Who of you can contact the bandits? I want to negotiate with them first about the way of paying gold and the order of their release." The first prince and the third prince have completely different styles. Ensure the safety of the hostages.
This move was applauded by the entire army.
Although the third prince's approach was straightforward, it was too arrogant. Although the eldest prince felt embarrassed, it was the safest way.
The generals stationed in place immediately went to communicate with the bandits, but the bandits refused to pay any attention to them and did not want to talk.
The general was angry and angry, but he also understood that this group of bandits must be seeking revenge, and the three princes had ignored their previous revenge.
"His Royal Highness, that group of thieves won't talk about it." The general who was stationed was angry with the bandits, but he did not dare to show it in front of the eldest prince.
"Hey..." The eldest prince pretended to be sad and sighed, "I don't want to talk about it. We can only talk about it after handing over the gold in the evening. Let's discuss how to use this million taels of gold to rescue everyone."
The eldest prince convened the generals who were stationed to discuss matters and discuss strategies to deal with the enemy...
When the bandit leader was on the island, when he learned that the eldest prince came with gold, he immediately laughed happily: "His Royal Highness has come down, the matter is finally over."
Although they have been doing some shady deeds for His Highness, they have never openly become enemies with the empire. This time, they really had to play a big game. Ever since they were tied up, he has been worried, for fear of accidents.
Fortunately, things went smoothly, and there was nothing that should not have been brought up.
Xiao Tianyao frowned when he saw that the bandit leader was so complacent: "Be careful that the disaster comes out of your mouth." No matter what, this matter cannot be exposed. If people know that this matter was planned by the first prince, the first prince will be finished.
"Don't worry, Lord Xiao, I know the seriousness of the matter." Only the bandit chief and five martial arts masters knew that this matter was related to the First Prince.
The lives of the six of them are all on the eldest prince, and they will never betray the eldest emperor.
"Yeah." He believed that no matter how reckless the eldest prince was, he wouldn't joke about his future, he just reminded him.
After all, it is really not easy to find another collaborator like the eldest prince.
The eldest prince and the generals stationed in the navy soon came up with a countermeasure, or it was the eldest prince's proposal, and they agreed.
The eldest prince only brought one million taels of gold this time, but the bandits wanted two million taels of gold. What if there was another one million taels
"Fake!" Huang was financially charged, and copper was added to it.
Doing this, ordinary people can't see it at all.
"The time to pay the ransom is at night, so it's impossible for the bandits to see clearly. Of course... We also put a few gold bricks on top, but the others are mixed with copper." The eldest prince said without thinking much. With this method, he obviously had already thought about it.
"This method is feasible. We give them the gold in one go, so that even if they know the gold is fake afterwards, they have no courage to get it back."
"It's good to find them. If they dare to find them, we will dare to destroy them."
…
Until there is no better way, the first prince's method is relatively reliable.
There is only half a day left, but they have 100,000 elite soldiers, so many people are working at the same time, not to mention only one million taels of gold, and they can reprocess it with another hundred taels of gold.
There was still half an hour before the appointed time. Two million gold bricks were neatly placed in front of the eldest prince. Looking at the golden bricks in front of him, the eldest prince shook his head.
It's a pity that only half of them are gold bricks. If all of them are gold bricks, he doesn't have to worry about the money to support his troops and horses.
However... One can't be too greedy, and he is satisfied with one million taels of gold. After all, this batch of gold can be said to be a windfall.
"His Royal Highness, this batch of gold bricks is completely fake." Someone who was knowledgeable went up to check and found that as the First Prince said, the naked eye couldn't tell the real from the fake.
"Very well, ship."
The eldest prince brought two million taels of real and fake gold bricks to the sea area agreed with the bandits. The eldest prince arrived on time, but the bandits arrived a quarter of an hour late.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late." The bandit leader stood on the boat carelessly, saying sorry words, but his actions were very presumptuous.
He didn't want to go too far, but Lord Xiao said that if he didn't show an arrogant and arrogant attitude, others would be suspicious.
In order not to cause trouble to the eldest prince, he could only do his best to do what a bandit should do.
"We came early." The bandits asked the eldest prince to pay the ransom alone. Therefore, the eldest prince was the only one on board.
Of course, there were a few people hidden under the boat, and this matter... Everyone understands without saying it.
No one would believe that the eldest prince would come alone.
"This is gold, where is the person?" The eldest prince tore off the black cloth covering the golden bricks, and the entire sea area shone with golden light in an instant. Under the afterglow, the golden light was intertwined and blinded people's eyes. .
At that moment, the bandit leader admitted that he was moved, and wanted to be greedy for this batch of gold.
Of course, this thought only flashed for a moment, and it was shot away by him.
This batch of gold belonged to His Royal Highness, and he only wanted to die before he thought of greed for gold.
"I have seen the gold, but... We have to test the truth and falsehood. What do you think, First Prince?" The bandit leader suppressed the greed in his heart, but he still had a greedy look on his face.
Well, he admitted that what he looked like at this time was at least 50% true.
"Yes, but I also have to inspect people. What if you get two fake ones to deceive me?" Although the eldest prince can be sure that his people will never dare to deceive him, but...
Do a full play!
For this million taels of gold, even if no one is watching, he will continue to play this play well...
