The leader of the dead soldiers’ legs were soaked in blood, and he nodded and said:

"Back to the Second Highness, my name is Zhang Mo." After saying that, he took out the customs clearance guide from his waist that was only available in the Western Region Kingdom, and handed it to Zhu Xianran.

Zhu Xianran looked at the customs clearance guide he handed over. It was indeed from their Western Region country. He searched for a while on the list of ambassadors and found the name "Zhang Mo" on the list.

Murong Hao was at the top. He also took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said coldly:

"This is the list that your Western Region Kingdom reported to our Dongsheng Kingdom's envoys. Zhu Xianran, you can check it."

After Murong Hao finished speaking, Tianyi stepped forward and handed the list in his hand to Zhu Xianran.

Zhu Xianran took the list and found that 57 people's names had been crossed out with red pen. He was puzzled and said:

“Why are these people’s names crossed out?”

"These are the dead soldiers brought by His Highness the Second Highness. They were all wiped out in the process of assassinating the county lord of our country." Tianyi explained from the side.

Zhu Xianran began to feel a little uneasy. He looked at the kneeling Zhang Mo doubtfully:

"What county lord are you taking these people to assassinate?"

"Yes." Zhang Mo admitted.

"Who ordered you to assassinate the county lord?" Zhu Xianran wanted to kill the man in front of him now.

"Back to the Second Highness, my subordinate is a member of the Third Prince. He asked me to sneak into your envoy list with nearly 60 dead soldiers, and then asked me to bring the Lord Kangping of Dongsheng Kingdom back to our Western Region Kingdom." Zhang Mo knew that he couldn't hide anything, so he confessed honestly.

"Why did you bring back the Lord of Kangping County? Is he crazy?" Zhu Xianran and Zhu Xiannan did not deal with each other in the court. Unexpectedly, when he came to Dongsheng Kingdom, his third brother would trip him up.

"The third prince said that the smallpox vaccine was successfully developed by Kangping County Chief. If she had been there, the Western Region Country would not need to purchase large quantities of Dongsheng Country's smallpox vaccine, and... and she is the... woman of King Rui of Dongsheng Country." Zhang Mo said , his voice became smaller and smaller, and he secretly glanced at Murong Hao who was standing above him.

"Prince Rui's woman?" Zhu Xianran said, looking at Murong Hao who was looking up.

He seemed to have thought of something. His younger brother had been fighting with Prince Rui on the border all year round and was a sworn enemy. Could it be that his third brother wanted to take revenge on Prince Rui? He began to look at Murong Hao, who was looking up, anxiously:

"Prince Rui, this matter has nothing to do with me. These people have already said that they were sent by my third brother and are not my people. I really don't know that they have such a plan. As for the Lord of Kangping County, I don't know him. There is no such thing as assassination, this king is innocent."

"Innocent? We are not discussing your innocence now. Now, one of the people you brought openly assassinated the head of our county in the suburbs of Beijing. If you want to get away with it, how can you do that?" Murong Hao said coldly.

How dare you deal with the girl? He, Murong Hao, is not someone who is easy to talk to.

"They were indeed brought by me, but it can only be said that I brought my third brother's people here without checking clearly. This, I am really innocent." Zhu Xianran is really unable to defend himself now.

"Then I'm sorry. The people you brought are causing trouble in our Dongsheng Kingdom. Your Highness, you only have two choices. Do you want to listen?" Murong Hao looked down at Zhu Xianran coldly and arrogantly.

"Prince Rui, come and listen." He wanted to hear how Dongsheng Kingdom would deal with him.

"First, you assassinated the county head of my dynasty in Dongsheng Kingdom. According to the laws of Dongsheng Kingdom, I can chop off your head at any time. But the Holy Lord is merciful and said that fortunately our county head is fine. That can only be done by the second prince. He has been a hostage in our country all year round and will never be able to return to his country." After Murong Hao finished speaking, he stopped and looked at Zhu Xianran below.

"Never return to the country, this...is this your law?" Zhu Xianran was frightened.

This time he got help from his father and personally brought envoys to buy smallpox vaccine. Unexpectedly, he was tricked by his third brother. Then Zhu Xiannan refused to make it easy for him. How could he not return to the country? He is now in In the court, there is the prince who is most valued by his father. That supreme position will most likely belong to him in the future, and he will never choose the first option.

Murong Hao didn't know that he had so many thoughts in his mind, so he coldly ordered:

"Tianyi, turn over the laws of our Dongsheng Kingdom to the relevant regulations and let him take a look."

"Yes."

After saying that, Tianyi took out a book of Dongsheng Kingdom's laws from his sleeve and opened the pages he had prepared before. It clearly stated that people outside Dongsheng Kingdom, such as murdering and murdering in Dongsheng Kingdom, The people of this country can directly execute beheadings.

Zhu Xianran naturally knew that since Murong Hao could tell it, he would definitely have this law. He continued anxiously:

"Prince Rui, what about the two roads you mentioned?"

"The other way is, of course, to let His Highness go, but you have to give something in exchange for your freedom." Murong Hao said from the top with no expression.

"Do you want gold and jewelry? I will give you all that I can give you." Compared with freedom, he can give up some gold.

"Our Dongsheng country is very powerful, and we still have some gold." Murong Hao began to tease him.

"If you don't want gold and jewelry, what do you want?" Zhu Xianran was curious. In the past, wasn't gold and silver used to redeem one's life?

"I remember that at the junction of Dongsheng Kingdom and Xiyu Kingdom, there is a state called Xihe State. It is rich in minerals and has outstanding people." Murong Hao smiled but did not finish his words.

"What, your Dongsheng Kingdom wants Xihe State?"

Zhu Xianran was speechless. Xihe Prefecture is an important mineral town in their Western Region Country. It produces a large amount of iron ore and copper ore. It can be said that the iron ore and copper mines produced in Xihe Prefecture account for more than 50% of their entire Western Region Country's output of the two metals.

"Well, Your Highness is smart." Murong Hao smiled sinisterly.

"Impossible, it is impossible for my father to exchange Xihe State for me." Zhu Xianran knew the status of Xihe State in the Western Region Kingdom. He did not think that he had the ability to convince his father to exchange Xihe State for him.

"I know that His Highness the Second Highness is the perfect candidate for the future crown prince. I wonder if your father wants the crown prince, or the mere Xihe Prefecture?" Murong Hao reminded him, the corners of his lips raised.

"You...your Dongsheng country is so treacherous, why can't you exchange it for something else?" Zhu Xianran said angrily.

"Our Dongsheng Kingdom lacks everything except Xihe Prefecture." Murong Hao smiled treacherously.

"My father will not agree." Zhu Xianran thought for a while but was not confident.

"If you don't agree, then His Highness, please spend the rest of your life in this villa in Dongsheng Kingdom. I can't help you with anything. At most, I can help you with your food and clothing expenses in the future. "Murong Hao looked at him with cunning eyes.

After saying that, Murong Hao stood up and told Tianyi beside him:

"Tianyi, let's go, tell the people below to keep an eye on His Highness."

"Yes." Tianyi accepted the order.

The two were about to leave when Zhu Xianran suddenly stopped them:

"Prince Rui, wait, why don't you let me try."

"Okay, Tianyi, prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones." Murong Hao smiled and sat opposite Zhu Xianran.

Soon, Tianyi brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone and asked Zhu Xianran to write a letter.

After he finished writing, he sealed it in his own envelope, handed it to Tianyi, and said seriously:

"Don't lose this letter. Hurry up and hurry up for eight hundred miles. You will get a reply from my father soon."

Tianyi took the letter and came to Murong Hao.

"Let's go." After receiving the letter, Murong Hao smiled. He was going home to be with his girl.

Master Zhu Xianran was left in the main hall.

"Bang..." With a loud noise, Zhu Xianran's palm fell on the wooden table, and the teacups on the table were shattered.

He murmured: "Zhu Xiannan, please remember this for me."
