Chapter 1028: Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money!
Prince An was not interested in these things. He was only interested in money. However, he couldn't say it directly, so he could only ask perfunctorily:
"What kind of background can a little country girl with mud legs have?"
King Yun smiled mysteriously:
"Then you don't know, right? That girl surnamed Qiao is the niece of General Zheng, the granddaughter of General Zheng! Moreover, her father is the king of an island country rich in agate and jade, and she is engaged to that boy Mo Beihan!"
"what?"
Prince An could no longer sit still when he heard this.
He thought that this little country girl actually had so many connections behind her.
He was trying to seize the throne and urgently needed to win the hearts of the people!
If I could marry that girl, wouldn't that mean I'd have help from many parties?
Watching the expression on Prince An's face change from surprise to greed, Prince Yun picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes full of calculation.
The Devil's Valley is so mysterious and terrifying, and thousands of his own people have been killed. No matter what, King An must go and shed some blood.
Otherwise, his military strength would be less than that of Prince An.
If he didn't consume some of Prince An's troops, even if he broke through the city gate and rushed into the palace, he would not be able to defeat Prince An's troops.
If it's not my turn to sit on the throne, wouldn't that be making things easier for others?
At this moment, Prince An did not care to think about why Prince Yun, who had always been at odds with him, would tell him such a big secret. There was only one word in his mind: money! money! money! money! money! money! money!
You know, his fiefdom was indeed the poorest among the princes', as King Yun said, but it had the largest population, so the people often had no food to eat, let alone pay taxes to him.
Who made his mother just a concubine of his father? She wasn't even given the title of consort. It shows how unfavored she was.
As an equally unpopular prince, he was naturally exiled to the most remote and barren place.
This time when King An led his troops out, he came with the idea that if he failed, he would die. He never wanted to go back to that hellhole where there was only yellow sand in the sky, not even a few drops of rain in the whole year, and there was no water to drink, let alone take a bath.
How could King An not be immediately infatuated when he heard King Yun talk about how rich the Devil Valley was?
If he could seize such a good Feng Shui treasure land, even if another royal brother succeeded to the throne in the future, he would shamelessly demand that the Devil Valley be given to him as a fiefdom.
It is better to guard a nest that lays golden eggs than to guard a vast piece of sand!
"Fourth brother, I remembered that I have some urgent matters to deal with in my tent, so I won't chat with you anymore. We can talk another day!"
Prince An said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Looking at his anxious back, a strange smile slowly formed on King Yun's lips.
This is what is called "while the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits"!
Let Lao Liu fight those mud-legged people to the death! When Lao Liu has destroyed most of the traps, he will take people to pick up the ready-made ones.
If the Sixth Prince is useless and not too many of the mechanisms and traps are destroyed, it doesn’t matter. Aren’t there other younger brothers coming later?
Then we can trick a few more people into going to the Devil's Valley.
The three thousand people he lost were nothing. His younger brothers were more greedy than each other, and they must have lost even more people.
By then, he will be able to rely on his most advantageous military force to defeat those people, making them no longer able to compete with him for the throne!
Prince Yun was happily thinking about how to get his younger brothers to clear the obstacles for him.
As soon as King An returned to the camp, he could not wait to select two thousand soldiers to go to the Devil Valley with him.
