Poladik's face turned red and white at the young man's words. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. He felt aggrieved for a while before he spoke.

"I heard that this Alenas is one of the most beautiful beauties in East Kugit. She should be worth some money. If she can get connected with the upper echelons of the East Courtyard because of her, her value will definitely exceed this mere 100,000 gold coins."

"Then why don't you just collect the ransom?" The young man shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, with a half-smile on his face, obviously not believing what Poladick said.

"It's a bit excessive to say that a noble princess is sold as a commodity. Even if the princess is from an enemy country, you still have to follow the spirit of chivalry. Is it true that the royal family is so poor that they are not selective about food?"

The young man's words were like a sharp sword, causing Poladick's expression to change, and he looked like he was hesitant to speak. He couldn't say that he was very happy when the royal family captured this unruly Kugit princess. for a while,

At that time, the horseshoes of the Dongting Cavalry were less than a day's journey from Ye Ruige, the gateway to Kyoto. With this hostage in hand, the Dongting Cavalry, which was surrounded by two groups, would undoubtedly have some scruples.

After asking for instructions from His Majesty the King, the then Minister of Military Affairs William Dale sent a deputy minister to negotiate with the princess, using the princess as a bargaining chip to demand that the East Court Cavalry immediately march to Pala. Wen’s footsteps,

But I don’t know what went wrong. After a brief negotiation, the tough Dongting people not only did not care about the life or death of the princess, but also accelerated their march into the Palavon Plains, killing them continuously along the way. Several cities were visited, and tens of thousands of Ruidian people inexplicably became targets of venting their anger.

This made the always tough King Haraus of Rendian so angry that the original request for ransom turned into an order for permanent imprisonment. If it weren't for William Dale's stubborn persistence during the court meeting, the beauty of the East Court Princess would have been lost. The head had long been turned into a gift to the King of Dongting. This was a very shameful event for the people of Ruidian at that time.

It was only later that I learned that the official from the Ministry of Military Affairs who had gone to negotiate had made a huge mistake during the negotiation.

This official is a arrogant young nobleman who is accustomed to the diplomatic methods of negotiation and rhetoric among the Kyoto nobles, as well as the vain aristocratic style.

On the day of the negotiation, he first invited a group of friends to come and see how majestic he was in teasing the Dongting people. He made the Dongting representative wait at the negotiation location for more than half an hour before he arrived belatedly surrounded by a bunch of people. , and then without clarifying the bottom line of the Dongting people, they habitually added a condition that Dongting must withdraw from the northern part of Ruildian on the basis of the previously negotiated 50,000 ransom.

According to convention, the other party should increase the ransom instead of retreating. This is a typical price adjustment and counteroffer strategy. The bargaining chips are there, and the outcome of the negotiation is well known. All the two parties have done is to maximize their interests. bargaining,

But the representative of the Dongting people was obviously an idiot. First, he was watched like an animal for more than half an hour, and then he heard that the Ruidian people had increased the price without authorization. He fell out on the spot.

"If death is the destiny of the princess, then we will bury it with the lives of tens of thousands of Ruidian people." The stubborn Dongting representative left the scene angrily after saying this harshly.

The young Ruidian nobleman sat there and didn't react for a long time. He was still waiting for a reply. Negotiations are always decided after a round of bargaining. Among his friends, There were a few smart people who left Palawan Kyoto that night.

The next day, the bloody revenge of the Dongting people was like a heavy rain that swept across the entire Palaven Plain. Within three days, the hooves of the Dongting cavalry turned several cities near Yeruige into a sea of ​​blood hell. It was an extremely cruel three days. More than 80,000 people were massacred. More than 40 lush villages and towns were completely wiped off the map. The Dongting people's scimitars shocked the entire continent.

"Okay, that's just a question." The young man touched his nose and said apologetically, "Since people can also be sold, I don't know if I can add more. Anyway, buying one is buying, so I'll buy a few more." "

"Pfft" Poladick looked at the young man in front of him who didn't know how high the sky was. He had an urge to spurt blood. If one is not enough, how many more should he buy? This is the princess of the royal court. You think she is selling groceries all over the street. If you put together all of this kind of goods in the whole continent, there will never be more than 100. Unless it is a special situation, no amount of money can buy it.

But the young man didn't think so. He smiled with a coppery smile and continued to say shamelessly, "I heard that most of the lords of the three northern counties were beheaded, but a small number of their family members were imprisoned in Palaven. Insignificant women and children, I have collected all 100 gold coins. In this situation, these idlers will only waste food. Why not sell them to me? You know, some people are always interested in women and children with special status. If you cultivate and cultivate the desire, you can still sell it at a good price.”

"shameless"

As these words were spoken, a delicate voice sounded from the side of the hall. Pradielei, who had been hiding behind the partition in the hall, finally couldn't help but curse out. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that in the world There are such shameless people, just women, even children, they are simply worse than animals.

Seeing a charming and charming woman coming out of the side door, the young man had a smile on his face. He seemed to have known that there were other people eavesdropping in the hall. He gave Telina Ruika a proud look and in exchange for Telina Ruika Ka Hua’s charming face smiled,

Yes, this is a bet. When he arrived, the young man made a bet with Telina Rika to see how long it would take to bring out the real person behind the scenes. However, the seller seemed a bit too young and beautiful. Well, it’s hard to associate it with the shady underground trade.

"You should be the real seller"

The young man looked Pradiele up and down. Maybe it was because of the cold at night. This gorgeous Palavin was extremely beautiful, with a hint of blush on her beautiful cheeks. She looked like a red flower blooming outside. The tree flowers, purple eyes and long milky white hair make her look charming and charming.

The young man's face moved slightly, and his eyes flashed with surprise and appreciation.

I have to admit that this woman is quite good-looking, and her beautiful face is as exquisite as a fine carving. Judging from the elegant and luxurious temperament, the tranquil expression and the extremely good etiquette, this lady should really be an aristocratic lady who comes from a noble family and has received an excellent education. There is an indescribable strength in his frail body.

If Telina Rika next to her is a red flame flower that blooms in the crater of a volcano and must rely on the environment, then the stunning girl in front of her is a tulip blooming in the white mist of the morning.

Natural and harmonious tulips. Unlike roses, which are thorny, and unlike flame flowers, which must grow in a special environment, tulips can be enjoyed alone or for decoration.

In the current era of bright and flashy clothes made of silk and silk, there are fewer and fewer beauties with natural harmony and innocence. In this era, the most popular ones are scents embellished with perfumes and colors painted with dyes. But the one in front of you is enough to make anyone who sees it feel a natural and sweet smell spreading in their heart.

"A dirty guy like you doesn't deserve these precious treasures. They should belong to a person of high character. This transaction is canceled and you can go."

Pradiere glared at the despised young man without fear. Although there was a hint of anger in her twinkling eyes, it was more of a will to never look back. The slightly wrinkled face The brows, the slightly raised brow tips, and the slightly raised chin all look so determined,

She could fully imagine how embarrassing it would be for those treasures that represented the glory of the royal family to fall into the hands of this despicable guy, not to mention that there were also the quasi-distinguished Princess Dongting and Bonnie Berlant inside.

That was the only peer who made her feel shocked and admired. When most young girls were still acting like a spoiled child with their lovers or fathers, Bertrand Bonnie was already like a flower in the dark, with unparalleled beauty. Her unparalleled magnificence blossomed, and her love-hate relationship with the falcon seemed to eclipse even the city of Rimir in front of her. Compared with her, she was like a canary raised in a greenhouse. Able to jump in the brilliant cage of crystal walls,

"Pladiere, the second daughter of the Minister of Military Affairs, Prais, is one of the three beauties in Kyoto. To be honest, it really surprised me that Prais would send you."

The young man smiled disapprovingly and did not appear surprised at all by the cancellation of the transaction. Instead, he slowly spoke out the true identity of Pradiere.

Radiale's face was blank.

"Didn't your father tell you who proposed this deal?"

The young man stood up from his seat with a proud expression. The wretched feeling just now was swept away, and an indescribable and powerful aura filled the air from him.

"What do you mean by that?" Pradiele looked at him with a horrified expression. Although this transaction was nominally proposed to the royal family by her father in person, in fact everyone knew that there must be some subtle connection in it. Otherwise, how could the royal family be so sure that such a buyer could be found in Rimir?

"Hmph, without interfering with the battle between you and the Dongting people in Borrigan, 5 million gold coins are used to purchase royal treasures. Is it possible that such generous conditions are not even paid with interest? This is not how business is done."

The young man grunted with some dissatisfaction, and his shining eyes were like a sharp blade that was as cold as a bone. It seemed that even the air in the room was trembling.

The sound of a water glass falling to the ground and breaking resounded throughout the hall.

It will be. . "

Next to him, Poladik's lips trembled and his face became extremely ugly. He stared at the young man as if he was seeing someone who could never appear here. ..
