Several people in the tent looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads.
"Your Highness, at dawn tomorrow, Ye Qing will come to collect the rent. If those two people don't come back by then, starting from tomorrow, we will have to pay rent for the tools we use. In that case, when we leave here and go to the city , we have to push back again." One person said with worry on his face.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire tent fell into a deathly silence.
"No! I believe him!" Murong Ling'er suddenly said loudly, and the clear voice dispersed a lot of the dullness in the tent. [
the next day.
The first thing Murong Ling'er did when she woke up was to ask her subordinates whether Qin Dong and Mi Fen were back. When she received a negative answer from her subordinates, the disappointment on Murong Ling'er's face made people feel heartbroken.
"Your Highness Princess, it's not good!" Chen Jinsong rushed in with a panic look on his face.
"Brother Chen, what happened?" Murong Ling'er was made a little nervous by Chen Jinsong.
Chen Jinsong said anxiously, "Ye Qing came to the mine to collect the rent for the five thousand tools, but failed to find the two benefactors, so he became furious. Now he is preparing to gather people to search for the whereabouts of the two benefactors, and said that once he finds the two benefactors, My benefactor, kill him on the spot! Your Royal Highness, please think of a way!"
Although she had known this would happen, Murong Ling'er's heart still clenched tightly, and she said angrily, "That Ye Qing, what a bastard! Yesterday I collected so many gold leaves from others, but today I want to kill them all. Let's go." , let’s go find him for comment!”
When Murong Ling'er found Ye Qing, Ye Qing was anxiously preparing his troops with a murderous expression.
"Ye Qing, you are going too far!" Murong Ling'er scolded Ye Qing in a sweet voice as soon as she saw him.
Ye Qing turned around and saw Murong Ling'er. He sneered and said, "Princess Murong, I was just looking for you. Those two people yesterday were obviously liars. I want to ask you if you are with them." ?”
"Liar? Humph! Could it be that the gold leaves they gave you yesterday were all fake?"
Murong Ling'er's cold words made Ye Qing speechless for a while, and his face looked a little embarrassed. He waved his hands and said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! I am the most committed person. Since those two people did not pay five thousand gems as rent, they must pay with their lives!"
Murong Ling'er sneered and said sarcastically, "What a heavy promise. I think you are coveting the gold leaves on other people's bodies and want to kill people and steal wealth, right?"
Murong Ling'er said exactly what Ye Qing was thinking, which made Ye Qing very angry. He suddenly pointed at Murong Ling'er and shouted in a deep voice, "Murong Ling'er, don't make yourself uncomfortable! This matter has nothing to do with you. You have no place to speak! Where is Qi Xiong?"
At this time, Qi Xiong and others were hiding aside to watch the fun. When he heard Ye Qing's call, he rushed out like a piss, stood up at attention, and said with a smile on his face, "Here you are!"
Thinking that Qi Xiong is also a dignified king of a country, but today he is so humble. Let alone Murong Ling'er, even the refugees from Tulie Country can't stand it and shake their heads.
"I asked you to keep an eye on those two people. Where are those two people now?"
Qi Xiong coughed and said, "Those two people were moving very fast, and my men were left behind before they could follow them very far. However, they were heading south, into the mountains, so that's definitely true!"
Murong Ling'er glared at Qi Xiong angrily and said angrily, "Qi Xiong, do you still have a conscience? Don't forget, you took a thousand free tools from me!"
Qi Xiong glared at Murong Ling'er and said calmly, "Those two people dared to deceive Mr. Ye and deserved to die!" [
"You..." Murong Ling'er was furious.
Ye Qing waved his hand and shouted to the army of soldiers and horses, "Follow me to search the mountain! Even if it means turning the earth upside down, I must find those two people!"
"Yes!" Ye Qing's soldiers and horses responded in unison, which made Murong Ling'er's heart tremble several times.
"Wait!" Murong Ling'er shouted subconsciously.
Ye Qing turned to look at her impatiently and said coldly, "Murong Ling'er, what else do you have to say?"
Murong Ling'er's mind was racing, and after taking a long breath, she said word by word, "Don't kill them. I will pay the day's rent for the five thousand tools!"
"What did you say?" Ye Qing frowned, looking surprised.
"Your Highness the Princess!" Chen Jinsong and a group of refugees from the Hou Han Kingdom exclaimed in unison.
You know, for such a long time, the two thousand refugees from the Later Han Kingdom worked hard and saved up five thousand spiritual crystals. If all of them were given to Ye Qing as rent, wouldn't their hard work for such a long time be in vain? For many days, their desire to enter Lone Star City and live a good life has been in vain. This blow was by no means a heavy blow to them.
Why doesn't Murong Ling'er feel uncomfortable at this moment? But as she watched Qin Dong and Mi Fen being killed by Ye Qing, there was nothing she could do.
"Princess Murong, have you really thought about it clearly? Five thousand spiritual crystals is not a small amount!" Ye Qing looked into Murong Ling'er's eyes and asked faintly.
Murong Ling'er hummed, "Ye Qing, you have made a lot of gold leaves, and now you have received full rent. You didn't pay anything, but you made a lot of money. You should be satisfied, right?"
In this place with high mountains and dense forests, it is not easy to search for two living people. If Qin Dong and Mi Fen are not found, wouldn't it be a pity to have these five thousand spiritual crystals
Ye Qing thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "A princess is a princess, her courage is amazing! Okay, as long as you can come up with five thousand gems, I will spare the lives of those two liars!"
"Okay! Our Wanxiang Kingdom will provide two thousand yuan!" As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, Sun Xuan's voice rang out.
"Brother-in-law?" Murong Ling'er turned around and saw Sun Xuan and Murong Cui'er supporting each other, and felt moved in her heart.
Sun Xuan nodded towards Murong Ling'er and said with a smile, "Wanxiang Kingdom and Houhan Kingdom are one family, how can I let you bear all this alone? Besides, since we have used the tools, it is only natural that we pay the rent."
It was rare for Sun Xuan to understand justice so well, which made Murong Ling'er's heart cheer up, and she felt even more that her decision was not wrong.
Sun Xuan turned to look at Qi Xiong at this time, and said in a deep voice, "Qi Xiong, your Tulie country also took away a thousand tools, and you should pay a thousand gems as rent. You shouldn't have any problem, right?"
Qi Xiong waved his hand and said, "What a joke! I took these thousand tools because I knew they were free. If I were asked to pay the rent, I could rent it myself from Mr. Ye. Do I need to trouble others? So, this tool Whose ancestor is responsible for paying the rent? Does it have anything to do with me, Qi Xiong, having an egg?"
