Qu Yuanzhong's gaze stayed on Gao Yuan, "Fourth prince, if the fight continues like this, the two sides will be at a stalemate. Our reinforcements have arrived, and you may not be able to leave."

"Are you threatening me?"

The fourth prince laughed as if he heard something funny.

Haven't heard such a good joke in years.

Qu Yuanzhong felt that he had been humiliated, but he knew the strength of both sides, and now was not the time to show off.

The guards around the fourth prince also laughed.

"Prince, this man's words are interesting, but he is too reckless. Do you want me to chop off his head and use it as a stool for the fourth prince?"

"How can the Fourth Prince sit on such a small stool?"

"I think it's better to make his head into a drinking utensil, so that he can use it for drinking if he has nothing to do."

"That's a good idea."

Facing the other party's ridicule, Qu Yuanzhong said neither humble nor overbearing: "Fourth prince, just laugh. As far as I know, there is a lot of wind and snow on the grassland this year, and a lot of cattle and sheep froze to death. I'm afraid you don't have the strength to go to war."

The fourth prince's smile froze on his face, and the murderous look on his body was immediately revealed.

The people under the fourth prince also stared at Qu Yuanzhong gloomily.

Xue Qianhu clenched his lowered hands slightly, feeling rather anxious.

Qu Yuanzhong also swallowed his saliva, and said bravely: "Jewelry must be dead. If you take away all the things, once the court closes the mutual market, so that the two sides no longer have economic exchanges, no matter how much gold you have I'm afraid there is no way to exchange silver and jewelry for cattle, sheep and grain."

The snowstorm made life difficult for the people, and the Dazhe Dynasty urgently needed jewelry to replace it with food to sustain life, but if the exchange market was really closed, the food could not be transported, and no amount of jewelry would be of any use.

Although Gao Yuan is cruel and easy to kill, he is not a stupid person. He understands how important the mutual market is to both parties.

After all, such a large amount of jewels is not a small amount, and the Da Yu Dynasty could even close the exchange market.

"Fourth prince, he's just scaremongering. If we kill them, we can still get the jewels back. When we have jewels, I don't believe they can be exchanged for food."

The big deal is smuggling, and there must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Is it possible that someone would keep such fine jewelry and refuse it?

Some people disagree, but others agree.

"Fourth prince, I think what he said is not unreasonable. After taking half of the jewels, we will exchange them for food later, so that the people will not have to worry about their lives. We will attack again next year. When we take down Dayu, how many jewels are waiting for you?" There is no need for us to engage in verbal disputes and cause bilateral wars."

The battle of the fourth prince has subsided a lot since he was raised, but after all, it is a pity that half of the jewels are handed over to others like this, "Mo Xiangyang, what do you think?"

Mo Xiangyang, whose name was suddenly called, thought for a moment.

"Fourth prince, what this person said makes sense. Half of the jewels are enough for the grassland to survive this year."

Mo Xiangyang seemed to see the worry and reluctance of the fourth prince, and said: "Although half of the jewels are lost, as long as we have Jiang Zhongyan in our hands, we will not be considered a loss."

"How do you say that?"

"Jiang's family is booming now. Jiang Shangshu's sons are all in important positions. They are involved in all walks of life. Half of the jewelry is also under pressure from the court. Those grain merchants may not cooperate with us. If the Jiang family is willing Help, it's different."

To put it bluntly, what the fourth prince cares about is food.

For them, jewelry is just a valuable thing, but food is a terrible thing.

"What you said is simple, how could he agree?" said one of the fourth prince's subordinates.

The fourth prince interrupted him by raising his hand, "What he said is not unreasonable. I heard that Si Chenye is the son-in-law of the Jiang family. Jiang Zhongyan was arrested. He will definitely not sit idly by. It will prevent the Jiang family from doing something."

Gao Yuan thinks in the long run, if he can get in touch with the Jiang family through this, it might be able to promote their relationship. Even if the Jiang family is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, at worst it will be exposed. He does not believe that the emperor of the Yu Dynasty will continue to believe Jiang family.

There is also Si Chenye, who may also be dragged into the water. The more chaos within the Dayu Dynasty, the better for them.

After thinking about this, Gao Yuan was not so interested in the boxes of jewels anymore, and his eyes on Jiang Zhongyan became gentle.

Qu Yuanzhong and Xue Qianhu looked at each other quietly, with a vague premonition.

The fourth prince pondered for a moment, and said, "I can promise you to release him, but you must first take out half of the jewels, and then I will release him."

Qu Yuanzhong said without thinking: "You have two hostages in your hands. If you want jewelry, why don't you let Mr. Jiang come here first, and we will give you jewelry later."

The fourth prince narrowed his eyes. After knowing Jiang Zhongyan's value, he would not let him go.

Commander Su became anxious, "I can't let him go, I can't let him go. You should let me go first. If you let him go first, Jin Yiwei will definitely not care about my life. By then, it will be impossible for you to want jewelry."

"..."

Xue Qianhu and Qu Yuanzhong clenched their fists, wanting to strangle him to death.

The fourth prince winked at his subordinates, and Commander Su ran back scrambling.

Running all the way back to his own people, Commander Su's previous flattering attitude changed, he stood in front of the jewelry with a sword and golden horse, and shouted angrily: "Fourth prince, it is impossible to give you jewelry."

Fourth Prince: "..."

Such a capricious villain, not to mention Jin Yiwei, even the people of the Great Zhe Dynasty can't stand it.

"Xiangyang has worked hard." The fourth prince said with emotion.

Mo Xiangyang smiled slightly, but did not answer.

Although Commander Su is stupid, he is easy to fool. It is not very hard to follow him.

Mo Xiangyang was even a little sorry that such a useful person died like this, and it would be difficult to find such a person again in the future.

At this moment, Mo Xiangyang realized that someone was watching him.

It happened to meet Jiang Zhongyan's eyes.

Xue Qianhu didn't expect Commander Su to do this. Did he think he could escape?

Xue Qianhu felt that Commander Su was shameless enough, but he didn't expect there to be even more shameless.

Commander Su said to Jiang Zhongyan, who was captured, "Master Jiang, you should know that once this jewel falls into the hands of the Dazhe Dynasty, what kind of trouble will it bring to the Dazhe Dynasty? Don't worry, wait until you die. Afterwards, I will ask the imperial court for a commendation for you."

Shameless!
If it wasn't for the wrong time, Xue Qianhu really wanted to kill him, how could the court appoint such a person?
There was no worry or fear in Jiang Zhongyan's eyes. He glanced at Commander Su lightly, as if looking at a dead person.

Does Commander Su think he can escape?
