Chapter 1345: Chapter 1343: Reaching an Agreement

The scout dared not neglect his duty and hurriedly reported everything he knew.

"The troops that arrived belong to Prince Wei, with nearly a thousand men accompanying him. Our people took the opportunity to mix in with them and investigate the situation in that small residence. However, our people also discovered that Lord Su is currently bound and hung above an oil pot. There’s also an additional woman, that woman was being... was being... was being... But when our people got there, she had already been rescued and taken away by Prince Wei."

Upon hearing that Su Ke was hung upside down above an oil pot, Su Pan’er became anxious.

But before she could inquire further, she was drawn to the stammering latter half of the conversation, which captured all her attention.

"That woman was rescued by Prince Wei?"

She suddenly thought of something, and her expression changed abruptly, "Are you saying that the woman... was later rescued and taken away by Prince Wei?"

Whether that woman was Shuang’er or not, Su Pan’er couldn’t make clear to herself at this moment whether she hoped that the woman was Shuang’er or not!

"She has been rescued by Prince Wei. As for whether she has been taken away, we haven’t received any further updates on her status, so this subordinate dares not recklessly speculate. However, Prince Wei is currently speaking with the owner of that small residence. Our people arrived late and only had time to see that all the servants around them had been sent out. After waiting a long while, there was still no sound from inside, and they were anxious to get the news out, so... "

"I understand, let them continue to investigate!"

Su Pan’er ordered casually, then turned back to Cao Imperial Historian and asked, "Lord Cao, it’s time for us to take action, isn’t it? Ke’er is inside that small residence, at such a critical moment, should we continue to stand by idly and watch?"

Indeed! To stand by idly and watch. Right now, Ke’er was in a small residence on the opposite side of the river, and they were on a small hill on this side of the river. They could see but were helpless to do anything!

"It is indeed time to take action."

Cao Imperial Historian agreed deeply, but at the moment, they had deployed all the people they could, and now there were only a few personal attendants left at their side. This might sound impressive, but it was actually quite meaningless.

Cao Imperial Historian quickly made arrangements, and in a short time, they were ready to go.

Then, he invited Su Pan’er, "Empress, our subordinates have already ordered the preparation of horses, and we can cross the river from the upstream bend."

"You’ve thought of everything."

Su Pan’er praised sincerely, getting up with a group of people heading upstream.

Ever since the underground hidden river inside Deicide Mountain was destroyed years ago, the turbulent waters of the Yin river could not flow out and thus gushed out from the swamp, widening the original Shuanghekou, turning a river that could only accommodate small boats into a large river through which barges can navigate.

Fortunately, the surrounding area was elevated and had not suffered from flooding, which was a blessing amidst the misfortune!

But because the floodwaters surged, the original stone arch bridge at Shuanghekou was completely submerged under the river. For the sake of travel, even the bridge piers were removed, relying on two stone arch bridges upstream to distribute the pressure.

However, there was a significant distance from the upstream arch bridges to Shuanghekou, an indirect and time-consuming route. At this moment, they had no choice.

Su Pan’er and her party mounted their horses and sped upstream.

On the other side,

The conversation between Prince Wei and Old Cheng continued.

"What do you think? Be mindful of your decision. How have you considered my proposal?"

Prince Wei turned his head to glance at the hourglass and then resumed looking at Old Cheng with an impassive expression, even as Old Cheng’s face turned ashen with rage, "Old Cheng, you should be clear that the agreement you reached with the Ning Family isn’t a secret to anyone. I happen to have some spare cash on hand recently, so I thought it better to make it hatch chickens that lay eggs rather than sit idle until it’s all gone, right? Besides, the terms I’ve offered should be enough for you to settle matters with the Ning Family. Rest assured, I’m not greedy—I just think earning thirty percent pure profit would be suitable!"

"Thirty percent pure profit? Why don’t you just rob someone!"

Old Cheng burst out laughing in anger, spitting with disdain, which flew across and landed on the face of Prince Wei opposite him: "I only got one and a half percent in total, and now you come to me asking for thirty percent? And you want pure profit? Well, if you’re so capable, why don’t you go to the Ning Family and see what they have to say!"

He’d only acquired one and half percent himself and still had to cover a wide array of expenses.

But here was Prince Wei, trying to demand thirty percent pure profit with just a few smooth words. It seemed he was trying to scare someone out of their wits.

Prince Wei knew that thirty percent pure profit was too much to ask for.

He frowned but soon relaxed his expression, "Then, according to you, Old Cheng, how much should I get?"

"How much? At most five percent!"

Old Cheng continued to sneer coldly, "Even that five percent would be more than enough for you to enjoy for a lifetime. However, the terms of the exchange we discussed earlier must remain unchanged! Otherwise, there is nothing more to discuss!"

His attitude was extremely firm, causing Prince Wei to gnash his teeth with frustration, but he was powerless to change the situation.

Who would ever think they have too much money?

Besides, as a prince, he had even more expenses, so securing five percent pure profit in exchange for the conditions offered didn’t seem so bad.

After musing for a moment, Prince Wei reluctantly agreed.

"Fine, it’s settled then! But... the woman I saved earlier, I want to take her with me!"

"Her? Why did you decide you want her?"

Old Cheng just couldn’t understand it; Qin Shuan’er was indeed beautiful, but there were many out there more beautiful than her. Prince Wei, given his noble birth, had seen countless beauties since childhood. How could he set his sights on Qin Shuan’er? Old Cheng just couldn’t figure it out.

"That’s because you don’t understand. I just like women with small waists! Hahahaha..."

Prince Wei laughed heartily as he stood up, then gave Old Cheng a knowing look, "After all, what man would complain about having too many women? So, how about it, I’ll take the woman and we’ll call our deal complete!"

Old Cheng looked extremely hesitant and after pondering for a long while, didn’t agree, "If you wanted any other woman, I might be able to accommodate you. But that particular woman, I’m afraid you aren’t aware of her identity yet?"

Hurrying forward, Old Cheng whispered in Prince Wei’s ear, causing Prince Wei to widen his eyes in shock.

"Is that true?"

"I might deceive anyone, but I wouldn’t deceive you, would I? Prince Wei, how about this... instead, I find two additional beauties for you?"

The allure of these women couldn’t compare to that of the one he desired.

Prince Wei felt especially regretful, "Those common people, with their ordinary looks, how could they be worthy of me? Let’s just leave it at that. We can discuss the follow-up matters at another time."

Both men exited the room, and Prince Wei’s troops quickly surrounded them.

Looking around at a few of the men, Prince Wei waved his sleeve, "Hurry up and finish your tasks promptly, don’t delay any longer. Let’s go, we’re heading back!"

Saying so, he took all his people with him, leaving only Su Ke hanging upside down in mid-air and continuously swaying.
