Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Chapter 140- I Zhang Tianxian am so strong

“Haiz actually this isn’t about money . To me, it is a huge burden . But, as I love these people, I have to make some sacrifices . ” Lin Fan said .

Huang Boren, please remember that you invested in Martial Path Mountain, for you to actually say that it wasn’t a small amount .

You fellow…

White Brow had never heard of a way to defend against Yin Demons .

However, Sect Leader Lin didn’t look like he was spouting nonsense .

“I agree, I thank Sect Leader Lin for the Jiang City people . ” Xiao Qi cupped his fists . “Sect Leader Lin, please proceed quickly, I will send the silver over . ”

Yuan Tianchu looked towards Lin Fan .

There was something going on .

There was definitely something going on .

He didn’t believe this surnamed Lin person who would take a personal loss to help others .

Even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn’t believe it .

A bunch of foolish mortals were sold by others and even had to count money for them . His gaze towards the prince changed like he thought that the Prince was just so so .

His brain didn’t move as quickly .

“Don’t worry, no Yin Demons will enter Jiang City today . The prince can be at ease . ” Lin Fan said .

Xiao Qi relaxed a little, but he was still filled with doubt, unsure whether this matter would succeed or not .

Jiang City .

Chen Shengyao looked at the expressions of the people who returned and heaved a sigh of relief . They were all smiling which showed that His Royal Highness had agreed to help .

Manager, You told him that he couldn’t let the Prince leave .

If not Jiang City would end up in danger .

After which Manager You immediately ordered people to spread the news for the Prince not to leave, that without him here everyone would die .

How could he leave the commoners to die?

They gathered together to beg His Royal Highness to remain .

“Manager You, you did well . ” Chen Shengyao said .

“Young Master that is the only thing we could do . As long as His Royal Highness is here, then there was definitely a plan . ” Manager You said .

At the crucial moment, when everyone was lost, if there was someone with status there then everyone would have one thought, to trust him . As long as they were together with him, they would push through the problem .

Chen Shengyao muttered in his heart .

Your Royal Highness don’t blame me, I had no choice .

White Brow, who left Martial Path Mountain, frowned, “Your Royal Highness you really shouldn’t agree to the commoners . ”

“White Brow, let’s not talk about this, I have made my mind up . As the Prince no matter what kind of danger I face, I can’t abandon my people . The ancestors that started the dynasty still brought the commoners and fled even when they were chased by the enemy . ”

“How could I abandon them now?”

Xiao Qi respected the ancestor that started the dynasty, he was totally selfless and that was his goal .

White Brow had nothing to say . If he had to say something rude, he would ask him if he thought that bringing the commoners and fleeing was loving towards them .

The actual situation had many unspoken aspects, but the short conclusion was .

Gain the hearts of the people, calm the army down, take resources, hold the city hostage .

In the end, this was just what happened .

“Your Highness is loving and kind, servant respects you . ” White Brow was filled with respect, “However Your Highness, Sect Leader Lin wanted sixty thousand silver a year, would you be the one to give it personally?”

“I don’t have money . ” Xiao Qi said, “Now we will search for the rich families of Jiang City, to tell them to split it . ”

To Xiao Qi, to make him stay and then take out money, did they think he was dumb?

He didn’t have money .

Even if he did, the Jiang City rich families had to give it themselves .

After Xiao Qi returned to Jiang City he saw that Chen Shengyao was waiting at the entrance . He told him to call all the rich merchants over to discuss an issue .

Chen Shengyao was delighted .

Anything for him to not leave .

If he had really no plan, to have Prince accompanying him here was a huge win .

Jiang City had many merchants but there weren’t any on the level of Chen Family and Huang Family . The rest were small-sized merchants .

They had no power but they had many businesses and were very rich .

“I have a way to protect the safety of Jiang City . ” Xiao Qi opened his mouth and said .

His first sentence made everyone delighted .

A few consecutive days of issues frightened everyone . But, now that His Royal Highness confirmed there was a plan, everyone heaved a sigh of relief .

“However the plan to protect Jiang City needs us to pay 5 thousand silver to Martial Path Mountain . ” Xiao Qi continued .

Rich merchants cried in gratitude, “Your Royal Highness is loving, not only sharing the problems with Jiang City, even paying up . We all are grateful to Royal Highness . ”

“That’s right, that’s right . ”

“Royal Highness is the future great ruler . ”

Xiao Qi waved his hands, these merchants were about to die and still wanted to take advantage of him . Did they think he was a fool?

“I won’t be able to come up with that money, but I need for each of you to chip in . ”

“En?”

Some merchants were shocked, chip in?

That was scary .

That was different from what they were thinking .

Xiao Qi said, “Don’t think that I am stingy, our Royal Family is actually proud that we are prudent . Don’t think that I am the Prince, actually maybe if I add up all my money I am poorer than all of you here . Do you believe that?”

Who would? This Prince was so evil .

But which one of them dared to say that?

All of them nodded their heads . Of course they believed! Who dared to say that they didn’t?

“Your Royal Highness, to give Martial Path Mountain 5 thousand silver a month… isn’t that too much? Moreover, we aren’t even sure if they could protect Jiang City . ” A rich merchant asked weekly .

He didn’t have much power so he was a little scared .

He was facing the Royal Highness, he wasn’t even worth much but was able to talk to His Royal Highness now, that was a huge honor to his family .

Xiao Qi said, “I am speaking the truth to all of you . The evil demons from the rumors are actually Yin Demons . They target human blood and flesh . No matter where you hide or how well you do, they could eat you up . ”

“So it doesn’t matter if you believe or not, you could wait for me to call experts from the dynasty to wipe them out . When that happens you all wouldn’t need to pay . ”

The fellows were really disappointing .

It was already such a difficult time but they were still thinking about money . If it wasn’t for the Jiang City commoners begging him, he wouldn’t have been willing to stay here .

All the merchants sucked in a deep cold breath .

How terrifying .

His Royal Highness’s words were a little too terrifying, right?

Chen Shengyao stepped out and said, “What are you all thinking about? Do you want money or your life? Our Chen Family agrees . ”

Huang Boren said, “Huang Family agrees too . :

The other people exchanged glances with one another and agreed one by one . They were going to chip in but how was it going to go exactly?

They couldn’t bear to pay more .

Naturally, they couldn’t give less too .

Outside Jiang City city walls .

“Is your plan reliable or not?” Lin Fan asked .

He hoped that Zhang Tianxian wouldn’t disappoint him .

This was a long term business, did he know what a business was?

That meant laying at home doing nothing but still counting so much money that one’s fingers cramped .

“It definitely is . When have I ever not been reliable?” Zhang Tianshan pushed a small cart, in it were many small rocks . These rocks were normal looking, all red like they were dyed with blood .

To Lin Fan, these stones were like a red stone from Conch Moat .

Zhang Tianshan walked for a while before stopping . He looked up and acted like he was calculating something . He picked up a stone, digging a hole at the corner of the city wall and burying it .

Lin Fan followed and was totally confused, “What kind of stone is that?”

Zhang Tianshan smiled, “This is Red Flame Stone, just a normal stone, and it is not worth anything . However it is magical, it counters all beings . This stone is a huge counter to the Yin Demons . ”

“Our Martial Path Mountain back mountain is covered with these stone, so many that it is a little frightening . ”

“Actually they only have a supporting effect, the key… Forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you . I won’t say anymore . ”

Zhang Tianshan actually knew how to wet his appetite to get him to go on .

Lin Fan squinted, “If you don’t say it then I wouldn’t buy anything for you . ”

“No, if not, I won’t do it anymore . ”

Zhang Tianshan looked like he was about to wash his hands and leave .

Ke!

He actually knew how to threaten him .

However, his threats were useful .

“Okay, I will give you 50 silver, speak . ” Lin Fan didn’t bother about this small amount . He had to do anything to make Zhang Tianshan complete this task .

Zhang Tianshan shook his head and said proudly, “Not for 50 silver . I calculated that you spent over a hundred in the market . As the Deputy Sect Leader, even if I lower my requirements I should have a hundred too . Without this amount, I wouldn’t agree . ”

“You fellow…” Lin Fan pointed at him, how useless, he thought that he wanted a few thousand . So it was just a hundred .

One’s desires decided one’s height .

There was a reason why Martial Path Mountain went bankrupt because of you .

“Okay, I will give you a hundred . Quickly, stop wasting time . ” Lin Fan said .

Zhang Tiansha smiled . He now noticed that Lin Fan was a decent person .

He had misunderstood him in the past .

Zhang Tianshan was satisfied with the money and was pumped when it worked . He talked a lot too .

“I am using the Red Flame Stone to connect the Yang Energy of hundreds of years of Jiang City together . Yin Demons were afraid of two powers, one was lightning and the other was Yang . Now I am bringing the Yang Energy out so they wouldn’t dare to come anymore . Zhang Tianshan said proudly .

“The city also as Yang Energy?” Lin Fan asked .

Zhang Tianshan said, “Yes, as long as there is the sun there would be Yang Energy . As the sun shone brightly, the city would absorb a large amount . It just lacked a conduit . This formation is very specific, one couldn’t understand it if one didn’t have a decade of research and study under their belt . ”

He had started to be arrogant .

He had a bit of skill .

He took back his words . The friends that my Father knew, even if they weren’t strong, they had some skill .

“How long can it last?” Lin Fan asked .

Zhang Tianshan said, “Forever, as long as the sun existed, the Yang Energy would be replenished . The stones also can’t be dug up as they would then be useless . ”

It sounded simple .

However, it was really difficult to manage .

Zhang Tianshan was a skilled person .

He had to select great spots to bury the Red Flame Stones and not just randomly select them .
