Chapter 882: Letter from North Qi
“Go to North Qi with some of your men tomorrow. If the letters can’t get the message through, we will talk with him in person!” Zhou Huailing insisted.
He did plan to get a big deal by offering the music in exchange for ten magical monsters, and unexpectedly, the Prince from North Qi approved the deal as well. So since he already said yes to the deal, he was not planning to offer him anything else, other than to get the ten magical monsters directly.
However, it seemed that things didn’t work out so easily and simply.
That song could not summon a phoenix every time. Even when it came to Ruxue, she was unable to call the phoenix out each time she tried. The money spent upon buying the music was extremely humiliating for him. True, the phoenix did appear… but it only appeared when no one was around, then what was the point anyway?
He must talk about this with Gu Chaoyan. However, he needed to deal with the Prince of North Qi first. Since the Prince did not think that the song was good enough for ten magical monsters, then they could talk about other bargaining chips. Some of them should be good enough.
The Prince liked women, right? So he could get him any woman he liked, and even money and treasure from the Saint Divine Land would work too. He would just come up with anyway he could just to make the deal possible.
What he needed was to get the ten magical monsters, and any reasonable conditions could be discussed.
Zhou Huailing said to Xie Yan as he thought it through. “You have been working with me for years, so you know pretty well what I need. If the Prince requires something else in exchange for the magical monsters, and if the conditions he mentions aren’t beyond our competence, then you can just say yes to what he has requested. Most importantly, we are in desperate need of those magical monsters, got it?”
Xie Yan nodded. He more or less had mapped out a plan, but he was still unsure about the accurate standards. He asked. “What if he wants a lot of treasure?”
“Give it to them, if he wants it. Check the storage before you leave, so you know how much we can afford,” Zhou Huailing said in distress.
Xie Yan nodded.
He started to make a plan about who should be his company on the trip to North Qi.
Most of the heir’s guards were terrible at martial arts. It might happen that they run into trouble when they were in the North Qi.
Xie Yan was just thinking about these, when Zhou Huailing got up abruptly and hurried off. Xie Yan asked, “Heir, where are you going?”
“I am going to talk with Gu Chaoyan! I have spent so much money in buying such a stupid thing and she has set me up! I need to talk with her about this.” Zhou Huailing snapped, looking really furious.
Xie Yan added when he saw the scene.
“Heir, we better not go there. Lady Chaoyan already told you clearly about how the song works when she sold this to you, so you will not be doing the right thing to meet her there!”
Xie Yan looked extremely worried.
The heir had still not developed a broad mind for himself, despite the fact that he had been granted the position as the heir.
“Just stop commenting on this, I have my own plan. Go and sort out the issue with the Prince from North Qi.” Zhou Huailing answered unhappily.
Xie Yan sighed.
In fact, he knew very well what made the heir do this.
