Chapter 193 Can You See the Crown PrinceChapter 798: Brother He, Please Give Your Orders
Upon seeing He Kun again, Xiao Tiannan and Shi Xuanwei's attitude became much more friendly.
"Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied."
Shi Xuanwei burst into laughter, winking at He Kun and saying, "These aren't cheap, are they"
Damn it, what a load of crap! These women are all top courtesans from Beijing. This old man spent one thousand taels of silver and even used the Dongchang Jinyiwei to force the brothel madam's head down before she agreed to send them over. I haven't even tasted them myself!
He Kun fumed inwardly, but the smile on his face grew even warmer and more enthusiastic. He said with a flourish, "Talking about expenses is pointless. In this world, nothing is more precious than brotherhood. That's something money can't buy."
"Yes, yes."
Xiao Tiannan nodded in deep agreement, calculating in his mind how to speak to He Kun and bring the two women back to Liao.
Even a fool knows that a woman of this caliber wouldn't come cheap.
If you want to take it, it'll cost more.
He had tasted such tenderness before, but the fierce women of Liao were not to his liking.
He Kun could tell at a glance what Xiao Tiannan was thinking.
But taking the woman from the room would be absolutely impossible.
It's not about money.
Although they were from brothels and sold their bodies, they were also subjects of the Qin Dynasty.
To send them to the tiger's den of Liao is what
He Kun knew that the Crown Prince detested giving Qin people to foreigners for amusement. Now, using his beauty as a lure was understandable, but if he sent people away, the Crown Prince would surely hold him accountable upon learning of it.
He Kun, who is best at discerning people's intentions, pretended not to notice their thoughts. Instead, he smiled and said, "Two gentlemen, I still have one more gift."
He snapped his fingers.
Then someone came up behind them carrying two trays.
On a tray, covered with red silk, anyone with eyes could see the shape—they were piles of gold ingots stacked on top of each other.
I'm not sure if it's a gold ingot or a silver ingot.
He Kun lifted the corner of the red silk on the tray, revealing a pile of glittering gold ingots underneath.
Xiao Tiannan and Shi Xuanwei's eyes widened, and their breathing immediately became rapid.
Originally, his complexion had paled from overexertion, but now a strange flush crept onto his cheeks.
This is because of excessive excitement, which led to a spike in blood pressure.
They naturally don't know what blood pressure is, but that doesn't stop their hearts from racing and their emotions from getting high.
"Each small ingot weighs twenty taels, with twenty-five in each tray. One per person, a small gift, not a grand gesture, please accept it with a smile."
One twenty liang, twenty-five is just five hundred liang.
Still gold!
is not silver.
The value of gold, it is more than several times that of silver.
The Liao Kingdom was poor, and its economy wasn't prosperous. The vast majority of tribes still lived a primitive life based on cattle and sheep, exchanging goods for necessities.
Ordinary silver is already a good thing, let alone this golden gold.
Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts. The two are now so eager they can hardly wait to jump onto the tray.
"Two brothers, He has a small request. As long as you agree, you can take these away immediately."
Looking at the two emotionally charged individuals, He Kun's smile remained unchanged, but the warmth within him quietly faded, revealing a menacing set of fangs.
At this moment, Xiao Tiannan and Shi Xuanwei had no capacity for thought left. Their eyes were fixed on the pile of gold, nodding vigorously as they said to He: "Brother He, just say it. As long as we brothers can do it, anything you ask, we will definitely help you with it!" at any moment and strip him bare.“The last few times he surrendered, handing over the Imperial Guard, it proved that he wouldn't resort to violence unless absolutely necessary. This was a tacit under...
