Chapter 11185 The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Zhao Sancai was stunned for a moment before he burst out laughing.” People die for money and birds die for food. Everyone comes out to do things for the sake of small profits. This is human nature. How can it be called greed?”
“Huh?” Zhao Feng was stunned.
Zhao Sancai continued,” It’s not easy to run such a big mansion. If we can’t even bear to give out a small profit, the final result will be a standstill. The situation will only get worse.”
“You have to think carefully. Who are the enemies we are facing?”
“That’s King Qin’s Mansion! Everyone is taking a huge risk. If we don’t give them enough benefits, why should they sell their lives for us?”
Zhao Feng looked at him deeply and did not reply.
Previously, she had also noticed this problem and had once suggested to the King of Zhao to investigate corruption, but in the end, it was left unsettled.
Now, it seemed that it was not that her father did not want to move, but that the resistance was too great and he could not move at all.
Zhao Sancai was in charge of the financial power and was also a core member of the family. If such a person stood on the opposite side with such a clear-cut stand, how could the corruption be investigated?
Zhao Feng shook her head and said,” No matter what, my friend trusts me and asked me to help him sell it on the black market. I, Zhao Feng, am not good at other things, but since I’m entrusted by someone, I will definitely be loyal. I can still do this.”
“But if you had to choose between your friend and the Prince’s mansion, which one would you choose?”
Zhao Sancai forced.
“Friends,” Zhao Feng replied without hesitation.
This time, it was Zhao San’s turn to choke.
If anyone else from the Prince Zhao Estate gave such an answer, they would definitely be labeled as traitors.
But Zhao Feng couldn’t.
She was the Di daughter that King Zhao valued the most. In terms of bloodline, other than King Zhao himself, no one in the Imperial Residence could be more correct than her. She couldn’t possibly rebel against herself, right?
” I will do everything for the Zhao Estate,” Zhao Feng said seriously.” I am a member of the Zhao Estate. However, I will not let my friend do anything for the Zhao Estate. He has no obligation to do so.”
“I’m confused.”
Zhao Sancai shook his head and said earnestly,” Since you’re a member of the Zhao Estate, you should know that the overall situation is important. The situation is difficult now, and your friend’s ten man-made rules are just a timely help to us. If you reject such an opportunity, you’re committing a crime against the entire Zhao Estate!”
“If Uncle Sancai really thinks so, then I can only ask my father to judge for me.” Zhao Feng looked at him without flinching.
Zhao Sancai chuckled.” Perfect. I was just about to report this to Brother Wang. Let’s go together.”
The two of them immediately went to the Royal Court of Zhao.
At this moment, King Zhao was practicing his calligraphy. A gentle young man was serving him with a smile, grinding ink for him.
The young man’s name was Zhao Jixiong. He was the only son of King Zhao’s deceased elder brother and was now adopted under King Zhao’s name.
Although he was not from King Zhao, this person was outstanding in both literary and martial arts. He could be considered one of the best in the entire second-generation circle.
Most importantly, the King of Zhao did not have a son.
At this point, everyone in the Prince Zhao Residence understood that Zhao Jixiong, this stepson, was the Crown Prince, the destined successor of the Prince Zhao Residence.
” Uncle Sancai, Second Sister.” Zhao Jixiong greeted them politely as soon as Zhao Feng and Zhao Sancai entered.
“Feng ‘er is here.”
” Come over and take a look.” King Zhao smiled and waved at Zhao Feng.” Have your father’s handwriting improved?”
Zhao Feng walked over and stared at the words for a long time. In the end, she said,” You’re more suitable for cutting people with a knife.”
” What nonsense are you talking about? You don’t know how to appreciate it at all.” King Zhao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
He was the purest martial artist, and had been cut off from the pen ever since he was born. Back then, he was able to ascend to the position of King Zhao because of his explosive martial strength.
On the contrary, after being the King of Zhao for so many years, he had gradually gained some artsy hobbies.
For example, playing the sheng and practicing calligraphy.
Especially when it came to big matters, he preferred to practice calligraphy. After all, only practicing calligraphy could calm him down.
Zhao Jixiong smiled and said,” Second Sister, Father has improved a lot. Even though this piece of calligraphy can’t compare to those traditional calligraphy masters, each word has a unique spirit. It’s already a rare masterpiece.”
“You sure know how to chat.” Zhao Feng glanced at him.
” Haha!” King Zhao laughed.” You two came to find me together. Tell me, what’s the matter?”
Zhao Feng and the other two immediately told him the whole story.
” Father,” Zhao Feng said,” you’ve taught me since I was a child that righteousness is the most important thing when interacting with others. Do you think I can cheat this friend who trusts me for my own benefit?”
” Second Sister,” Zhao Jixiong interrupted before Zhao Wang could speak.” I’m curious. Who is this friend of yours?”
“No comment.” Zhao Feng shook her head.
Since Lin Yi wanted her to sell it on the black market, it meant that he didn’t want to reveal his identity.
After these man-made rules were given to her, she even specially helped to make them anonymous so that the outside world could not easily find out who the holder of the rules was.
She couldn’t betray Lin Yi at a time like this.
Otherwise, if she revealed it, Prince Zhao’s mansion would definitely come out and pressure Lin Yi. At that time, they would either force Lin Yi to fall out with her, or Lin Yi would choose to suffer a loss for her sake.
Either way, it was not the result that Zhao Feng wanted.
Zhao Jixiong and Zhao Sancai looked at each other and said,” Second Sister, I think you might have misunderstood. Uncle Sancai’s intention is not to let your friend suffer a loss. Since he was going to sell these ten man-made rules, instead of selling them to outsiders on the black market, why don’t we buy them directly from the Zhao Estate? Everyone gets what they need. It’s a win-win situation.”
“That’s exactly what I meant.” Zhao Sancai nodded repeatedly.
“That’s a good idea. What do you think, Feng ‘er?” King Zhao said.
If they could take down these ten man-made rules, not to mention anything else, it would at least be able to stabilize a portion of the entire Zhao King’s residence. It would be of great benefit.
” Of course.” Zhao Feng thought for a moment and said,” If it’s at the normal market price to ensure that my friend won’t suffer a loss, then it’s fine.”
“I definitely won’t let him suffer.”
Zhao Sancai immediately said,” Those ten man-made rules of his should have been bought at a low price some time ago. The total price is estimated to not exceed 100,000 Fate. We can double the profit for him. 200,000 Fate!”
“Why didn’t you just rob them?” Zhao Feng laughed in anger.
100,000 Fate was the lowest price at that time. Now that the law calamity had just ended, almost all the man-made laws in the market had disappeared.
The rarer an item was, the more valuable it was. This was the highest price in history!
Lin Yi’s ten seemingly ordinary man-made rules were worth at least a million luck points on the black market. If he found a suitable buyer, two million or more wasn’t impossible!
Zhao Sancai’s words were an insult to his intelligence.
