Chapter 626 Two Maids Missing

"This must be the tragic prince of Northern Liang, right? Who's this sister you're talking about? Your sister's lost? Go find her! What are you doing here!"

Facing the furious Xu Fengnian, Li Qingyuan disdainfully picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

Xu Fengnian was about to say something when Xu Xiao stepped forward to stop him, and then spoke:
"My daughter, Xu Zhihu, married into the Lu family of Jiangnan Road. Three months ago, the Lu family was attacked by that lecherous Ultraman, and my daughter was kidnapped. If the Prince of Xiaoyao has any information about my daughter, please let him know. The millions of soldiers and civilians of Beiliang will be grateful to you!"

Good guy.

So these days, all you're good at is being a representative?

"I see. What a pity! When I killed that demon, I only found the princess and didn't see any other women! It seems the princess of the Northern Liang King has fallen into the hands of others. I'm truly sorry!"

"Your Highness, have you truly never seen my daughter?"

"Of course! What good would it do me to lie to you?"

Hearing someone emphasize the word "benefits" with an accent, Xu Xiao was so angry that he almost drew his sword.

Damn it, you took my daughter for free, and now you dare to ask me for something in return?
What do you take me for?

However, considering that her daughter was still in the other party's hands, Xu Xiao had no choice but to give in.

At worst, I'll find a way to kill that bastard when Xu Zhihu comes back. For now, I'll just consider it as paper money for him to burn incense!
"I observe that while the Prince's Mansion is grand and imposing, it is somewhat simple. I am willing to offer 200,000 taels of gold, 3 million taels of silver, and 100 various treasures as a congratulatory gift to Your Highness!"

"Everyone says that life in Beiliang is hard and the people are suffering, but it seems that Beiliang is quite wealthy!"

He immediately offered 200,000 taels of gold, 3 million taels of silver, and a hundred treasures. You should know that what Xu Xiao calls treasures would be considered museum treasures that would never be on display in later generations.

It should be noted that even when the emperor was trying to bribe Li Qingyuan and raise money for Princess Suizhu's dowry, he only gave her 10,000 taels of gold, 200,000 taels of silver, and ten precious items!
So, by this calculation, Xu Zhihu's price is actually ten princesses?
All I can say is that Northern Liang was quite wealthy!
"Those are all my spoils of war over the years! Northern Liang is actually still suffering a lot!"

Xu Xiao didn't care at all. So what if he's rich?
Does having money mean he's breaking the law?

When he destroyed the six kingdoms, he basically took all of their treasuries back to Northern Liang. The emperor was well aware of this!
If Xu Xiao were to express that his only wish is to become the richest man in the world, the emperor would probably be so happy that he would simply hand over the national treasury to him.

But how can the emperor sleep soundly if a wealthy man like you also commands 300,000 troops?

Xu Fengnian looked proud, thinking that the guy in front of him was just a country bumpkin. Damn it, does he even know what it means to be truly the richest man in the world?

A stream of servants began carrying things into the Prince's mansion. Gold and silver were naturally taken to the storeroom, while the so-called treasures were brought in one by one from outside.

In an instant, the living room was filled with dazzling jewels, reflecting light like a celestial palace.

"Is the Carefree Prince satisfied?"

Seeing someone examining these so-called treasures, Xu Xiao finally spoke up and asked a question.

"Great! Good stuff!"

Li Qingyuan said that Xu Xiao had been tricked in this competition. The so-called treasures given by the emperor were just fist-sized luminous pearls or seven-foot-tall coral trees. Although they could be considered rare treasures, they had no practical use other than their ornamental value. But the treasures given by Xu Xiao were completely different!

Whether it's the Azure Dragon Pearl that can directly detoxify or the Buddhist treasure stupa, they are both imbued with a sense of mystery. Although they are also treasures, their value and usefulness are several times greater than those given by the emperor.

As Li Qingyuan played with it, he sent photos and explanations to his group members. Immediately, a group of guys said they needed a few to decorate their place.

There's no way around it; worlds like the City and the Three Kingdoms are almost entirely without magic, so you can hardly find anything with a mysterious aura. Therefore, these things are definitely treasures to them.

It would be nice to keep it at home as a decorative item!

"In that case, does Your Highness recall any details?"

"The treasures are wonderful, but there is no one to take care of them. Your Majesty, you may not know this, but the palace maids sent by the Emperor are really useless. None of them are satisfactory. I have heard that Beiliang is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I wonder if you could send some maids over?"

Soliciting bribes in person is indeed beneath one's dignity, but Li Qingyuan doesn't care about saving face and just speaks his mind.

"I will immediately send twenty beauties to the Prince!"

Xu Xiao immediately took full responsibility, saying it was no problem. Beautiful women are definitely a scarce resource for ordinary people. When sycophants encounter beautiful women, they wish they could treat them like goddesses and worship them. But for the Celestial Dragons at the top of the social hierarchy, beautiful women are just disposable items!

"Let's skip the 'stunning beauty' one. I remember the young master has a maidservant named Jiang Ni, and there's also a courtesan from Northern Liang named Yu Youwei?"

Li Qingyuan, an ordinary beauty, said that she has nothing to lack. After all, even if you look exactly the same, you can't imitate your temperament, status, and knowledge.

Admittedly, there may be women who are more beautiful than these actresses, but simply being pretty is not enough.

Just like how the urban world is always keen on collecting female protagonists, in reality, those internet celebrities who twist and turn on the screen all day long might actually have better figures and looks than those female protagonists.

But if you had money, how would you choose between the female lead and an unknown passerby?
"You're dreaming!"

Upon hearing that the other party actually coveted his little maid Jiang Ni, Xu Fengnian immediately roared angrily.

Compared to Qingniao and Hongshu, who wouldn't be too heartbroken even if he lost them, Jiang Ni was someone he had raised as a child bride since childhood.

how to say!

For Xu Fengnian, Qingniao Hongshu was like Zhuier and Fangguan by Jia Baoyu's side. It would be best to have them serving him, but it wouldn't matter if they weren't there. If something happened, he wouldn't feel too bad even if they were thrown away or given away.

So far, Xu Fengnian has not mentioned his two maids at all. After all, compared to his eldest sister, what are maids?
As for Yu Youwei, it doesn't matter at all. Naijia is just famous, but to Xu Fengnian, she's just a pet to keep for fun. He doesn't care who he gives her to.

Ginger paste?
To Xu Fengnian, she was like a combination of Xiren and Qingwen. It was absolutely impossible to take Jiang Ni away from him!

"Huh? It seems that in His Highness's heart, my sister is not as important as a maid?"

(I've been a bit busy these past couple of days, but I'll try to finish the next chapter before midnight!)
