Chapter 446: Underestimating Him
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Crown Prince did not understand, nor was he willing to understand how dutiful his subordinates were. In the end, it was their problem if they did not do the job well. They were already magnanimous enough not to kill them after causing such a huge mess. Who knew…
When the members of the Yan Family embarked on their “expedition” to Xiongnu for the second time, history repeated itself.
Chernan felt that the Crown Prince of Great Xia was definitely playing with him like a fool.
-Does your Crown Prince have some misunderstanding about my intelligence? “What made him think that sending two boxes of rocks would make me buy it? The people from the Yan Family could not argue and could only go back to beg for forgiveness.
Xiaoxiao didn’t know how the Crown Prince dealt with these people for the time being. She was counting silver in her interspace with Rong Yan.
Xiaoxiao smiled evilly and picked up a handful to play with. “Is this the legendary silver falling from the sky?”
Rong Yan watched her play with a faint smile and indulgence.
Of course, they were the ones who took the Yan Family’s silver. In Xiaoxiao’s words, this was called “one investment, three times the return”.
Unless the Yan Family found the Great Wall Cargo to deliver the goods, Xiaoxiao would rob them every time they sent silver. The harder the Yan Family worked, the worse their relationship with Chernan’s alliance would be.
Weren’t they capable? They could even think of ways to frame Little Big Brother Ah Yan.
Pfft, she was very free!
The Yan Family naturally did not dare to look for the Great Wall Cargo. They had to hide this private collusion well, let alone the fact that the Great Wall Cargo was essentially Rong Yan’s.
Looking for them? What was the difference between that and walking into a trap to die?
Of course, the Crown Prince would not do such a thing. However, if he continued to send his men, it would be a double loss. Hence, on the third time, they decided to let the Xiongnu people pick up the goods themselves.
This was the opportunity that Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan were waiting for.
Although he had already obtained the letter from the Crown Prince to Xiongnu from Chernan’s secret room, it was really a fantasy to topple the Crown Prince based on this.
However, the Yan Family was meticulous. It was not easy to catch their tails. Fortunately, they were forced into a corner now.
“However, this doesn’t seem like the Yan Family’s style. Has Prime Minister
Yan finally become senile?”
Little did he know that Prime Minister Yan was also looking for the Empress with a headache.
“What exactly are you thinking? I’ve already told you not to interact with Xiongnu anymore. His Majesty has been dissatisfied with the Yan Family recently. Are you looking for some excitement because you think that the Crown Prince’s position is too stable?”
The Empress poured Prime Minister Yan a cup of tea. “Father, calm down.” She said confidently, “Father, don’t worry. We don’t have to ask about this personally.”
Prime Minister Yan was puzzled. The Empress blew at the nail guards on her fingertips.
“There’s no need for you to do everything yourself.”
Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan also realized that the people who transported the silver acre this time had changed. However, what did this have to do with their robbery?
They skillfully used the space function to remove all the money that the Yan Family sent to Xiongnu. The Yan Family never dreamed that there were actually only two “mysterious thieves” who gave them a headache for so long. Although it cost a lot of points to teleport back and forth, Xiaoxiao’s space had leveled up to level 69 unhurriedly. It looked like she was about to advance to level 70 again.
After a while, the new rice seeds would enter the next batch of sowing. At that time, the reward points she could obtain would probably skip a few levels, let alone level up. Thinking back to how she dug wild vegetables all over the mountains for a few points, Xiaoxiao was really emotional.
In order to reward her past self, Xiaoxiao used this as an excuse to bring Rong Yan to the space water as if she was presenting a treasure. Then, she fished out a Boston lobster that was longer than her arm.
Rong Yan moved his hand away from the sword hilt and asked uncertainly, “Is this… edible?”
It was so ugly and looked like a monster. It even bared its fangs and brandished its claws.
Xiaoxiao tried her best to act like a lady. Then, she held the lobster in one hand and dragged Rong Yan to the kitchen with the other.
Rong Yan and Xiaoxiao didn’t finish a big lobster that weighed about four kg. They thought that since the space had a preservation function, they didn’t make things difficult for themselves.
Xiaoxiao touched her slightly bulging stomach and said, “It’s a pity that such delicious food can’t be shared with everyone.”
“Little Big Brother, do you think they’ll believe me if I cut this lobster meat into small pieces and wrap them in prawn dumplings, then say that these are ordinary prawns?”
Rong Yan was speechless.
He didn’t know if they believed it or not, but it must be delicious.
While waiting for the third meeting between the Yan Family and Xiongnu, Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan caught a few Boston lobsters, cut the tails into small pieces, and started to wrap the prawn dumplings. However, when they were busy in the space, something strange happened outside.
As the Yan Family had tried to make up the numbers twice and used stones to brush Xiongnu off, Chernan was even more cautious now. Not only did he have to check on the spot, but he also specially stopped all the deliverymen. He looked like he would kill them if anything went wrong again.
Then, the delivery men acted calm and composed as they waited for Chernan to open the box.
It was probably to ensure that nothing went wrong. This time, the box containing the silver was still tightly wrapped with chains. Logically speaking, the box should be fine as long as the chains were not broken. However, who asked them to encounter Bug Xiao?
Relying on the convenience of space, Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan watched the commotion with the freshly baked prawn dumplings. However, when the layers of chains were unlocked and the lid of the box opened, the two of them raised their eyebrows in surprise at the same time.
Chernan rummaged up and down carefully. After confirming that every box was filled with gold and silver, he smiled in relief.
The delivery man crossed his arms and asked, “Now, can we go?” Chernan pursed his lips. “Wouldn’t it have been fine if you had been so well-behaved earlier?”
The delivery man did not explain. He stretched out his hand and asked, “Where’s the thing?”
Chernan looked around and took out a small wrapped cloth package. The delivery man took the things and took out another piece of paper.
“In that case, please leave a document to prove that we’ve completed the mission.”
The second prince was in a good mood. He cooperatively signed his name and pressed his thumbprint. The delivery man hurriedly packed up and set off on his return journey. When there was no one around, his companions whispered. “If they want food, cotton, and so on, Master will really have a headache. Why do they want silver?”
“Those things are not easy to transport or store. They are indeed not as convenient as silver.”
“I’m afraid the Crown Prince only wants to save time. He wants to send Chernan away as soon as possible and take back these letters.
The few of them did not avoid it and opened the letter to read it.
“Can you replicate it?”
This question was directed at the last person in the team.
“Don’t worry, it’s not difficult.”
At that moment, Chernan was already happily pushing the silver towards Chercha.
He had stayed in Great Xia for so long, but Chercha had yet to take down the throne. Tsk, it could be seen that he was trash.
Now, not only did he get back so many good things for Xiongnu, but he also scammed a lot of money from the Crown Prince. The final outcome was still uncertain.
As for the matter of him imprisoning Chercha, he wasn’t dead. That was nothing.
Behind him, Cheryan narrowed his eyes and snorted. “I’ve underestimated my good Second Brother..”
