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.
