The eldest prince and the bandit chief made a full set of the show, and it took two quarters of an hour for both parties to be satisfied.
"It's good gold bricks, two million taels is not less." The bandit leader didn't know that those gold bricks were fake, and the inspectors found nothing unusual. He really thought it was two million taels of gold.
"Can I release my third brother, seventh brother, and Dongwen's King Xiao and Princess Xiao now?" Of course, the eldest prince would not forget his responsibilities.
He is here to save people this time, and the top priority is to save people.
"Of course we can make friends, but it's not like this. If a few people are safe, what will you do if you kill us?" The bandit leader said slowly and politely, with a fearless look.
Mmmm... The third prince listened and struggled constantly, as if he had something to say, but none of the people present paid him any attention.
The Seventh Prince lost a lot of weight, and he didn't move when he was tied up. His arrogant expression was only calm at this time, and his clear eyes also dimmed a lot.
Lin Chujiu couldn't help shaking her head when she saw such a seventh prince.
The little prince who was showing off his power in Dongwen at the time has disappeared, and I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for the seventh prince.
"Do you want to go back on it?" The eldest prince listened and deliberately put on a look of anger.
He is a military general, and it is really easy to put on a fierce look.
"No, no, no... How could we go back on it. Although we are bandits, we can steal and steal, and if we take the money, we will let them go, but for our safety, I want to keep a hostage in my hand and wait for it. When we are out of danger, we will put people down, and then you can go and save them." The bandits asked Xiao Tianyao, Lin Chujiu, and the third prince to push forward, leaving the seventh prince in their hands.
"This little prince is young, so I'll leave him in the lineup." The third prince is old, and he is afraid to see the clues, and the seventh prince is the best.
"What if you don't let them go?" The First Prince naturally wouldn't agree.
"His Royal Highness, in this situation, you can only choose to trust us, and you have no other choice." The bandit leader said with an angry expression, giving the First Prince no room for negotiation.
"Eldest prince, I'll let someone throw a small boat down, and you go on board to pick up these three people." The bandit pointed to the third prince and the three of them, as if the old man had the final say.
The eldest prince hesitated for a moment and nodded solemnly, but he made a request: "Is it okay to change a hostage? My seventh brother is too young to stand up to you to be scared."
"Who to change? The third prince? It's okay, although it's a little troublesome, but I can knock people unconscious."
The third prince disagreed. Although his mouth was stuffed, he kept making noises to express his dissatisfaction.
"What should I do? The third prince doesn't seem to agree." The bandit laughed when he saw it, obviously looking down on the third prince.
They thought that the third prince was smart, but now it seems that he is really stupid.
The third prince really thought that there was only the eldest prince here
The third prince really thought that if he pushed the seventh prince out, would the seventh prince hate him
The third prince was obviously unwilling, and kept staring at the eldest prince with his eyes.
The third prince was stupid, and it was his chance to show.
"My third brother and seventh brother were both frightened, so how about using me as a hostage? You can take medicine or tie them up. I only have one request, and that is to let my third brother, seventh brother and Xiao Wang and his wife leave safely." The eldest prince could already imagine how those people would praise him after he returned to Beijing.
The eldest prince stepped forward and took risks to save the younger brother!
With this reputation, even if the father doesn't like him, he can't ignore him.
"You?" The bandit looked at the eldest prince, obviously unwilling.
"I am the eldest prince of the empire, and my identity is enough for the soldiers of the empire to dare not move." The eldest prince looked at the bandits with a fearless expression.
Seeing this, the third prince immediately calmed down and looked at the bandits expectantly, hoping that the bandits would agree, and at the same time secretly prayed that the eldest prince would die at the hands of the bandits, so that the eldest prince deserved great credit and was useless.
When a person dies, there is nothing left, and even if others say that he is good, he will not survive.
The seventh prince, who kept his eyes open, didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes moved when he heard the first prince's words.
It has been almost a month since he was kidnapped by the bandits. The seventh prince is no longer the innocent and well-protected little prince. His world was shattered in an instant, and he also grew up in an instant.
In his opinion, it is normal for royal brothers to be selfish like the third prince, and the eldest prince… would rather take risks to save them seems a bit stupid.
However, what if he likes the eldest brother more
The seventh prince's eyes were slightly red, and he glanced at the third prince who was closer to him before, silently bowing his head, hiding the disappointment in his eyes.
"My health is better than that of the third and seventh brothers. Going to sea with you will never cause you trouble. I don't think you want to have the prince die in your hands."
"I have only stayed in the military camp before, and I have never been to the sea. I am familiar with the sea routes at all, and it is impossible to write down the road you have traveled."
"I… "
In order to convince the bandits, the eldest prince kept citing the reasons why he was more suitable to be a hostage, and under the strong sales of the eldest prince, the bandits finally agreed.
"Okay, come here in a small boat, and we will release the people." The bandits ordered people to put down the boat, and then ordered people to bring the third prince, seventh prince, Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu on board.
When the two boats met in the middle of the sea, the eldest prince glanced at the third prince and the seventh prince, and his face was full of worry: "You are all right."
The third prince pursed his lips and did not speak. The seventh prince nodded lightly and whispered, "Thank you eldest brother."
Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu didn't speak, they looked at each other with only the deep meaning in their eyes that they could understand.
After the two small boats met in the middle of the sea, they separated from each other. When Xiao Tianyao's group sailed beside the golden boat, the boat that the eldest prince was on also came to the bandit's boat.
"Go get the gold, let's go!" Escorting Xiao Tianyao and the other bandits, he gently jumped onto the boat full of gold, threw an iron hook to the big boat, and let the big boat pull them away.
"Eldest Prince, get on the boat." The bandits gave the First Prince enough face and only let people surround him without hurting him.
"I want to see them leave safely." The eldest prince didn't move, he just looked at the boat of Xiao Tianyao and the others, and only moved when the boat they were on was out of sight.
However, instead of getting on the boat, he jumped into the water and shouted, "Do it!"
Yes, do it!
He is the eldest prince of the empire, he needs to show a little blood, show a little strength, can't just compromise like a bandit...
