Chapter 1189 A Strange Expression Almost Caused Him to Laugh
Feng Jiu stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the two men left behind are my most trusted subordinates."
He's someone who's stayed in this valley with the little man ever since the gold mine was first started, and has never left!
They are very capable; Your Highness can use them with confidence!
Xiao Jingye, seated on the throne, seemed quite satisfied upon hearing this. He looked at Feng Jiu and the other two and nodded slightly.
"All right!
Vice Minister Deng is someone I trust;
You are people trusted by Vice Minister Deng.
"In that case, I will trust you for now, and I hope you will not disappoint me in the future!"
Yes, yes!
I am very grateful for Your Highness's trust!
"Whatever Your Highness commands, I will obey without question!"
Feng Jiu and the other two said in unison.
Xiao Jingye nodded and beckoned the three people forward.
Feng Jiu and the other two hurriedly stepped forward.
Xiao Jingye spoke slowly, his voice low and cold.
"You should know that my gold mine was mined secretly, without the court's knowledge, right?"
"Yes!
The little people know!
The common folk know that the prince has great ambitions!
We, your humble servants, swear to follow you to the death, Your Highness!
Feng Jiu and the other two expressed their opinions in unison.
Upon hearing this, Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu, who were standing behind Xiao Jingye, exchanged glances, then looked meaningfully at Feng Jiu and the other two...
So you're determined to follow Prince Yi to the death?
Very well, then so be it—follow me to the death!
"very good!"
Xiao Jingye paused for a moment, then continued, "Things have changed now. Somehow the news that there is a gold mine here has spread, and the imperial court seems to have noticed it."
Therefore, we can't stay here!
"what?
"Then...then...what should we do?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu and the other two immediately panicked.
"what to do?
Do what needs to be done!
It's just a gold mine.
You should know best how much gold this mine has already produced!
Besides, this isn't my only gold mine. What's wrong with giving it up?
I have personally led my men here today to clean this place up once and for all!
I want to see this place turn back into a desolate and empty valley with my own eyes!
Even if the imperial court officials later found this place, they would find nothing!
Xiao Jingye paused again, deliberately leaving them to fill in the blanks with their own imaginations. The result of their imaginations would surely be that they scared themselves.
The more panicked and afraid they are, the easier things will be to handle.
Sure enough, Feng Jiu and the other two looked at each other... This gold mine... is it going to be lost?
Without this gold mine, what will they do next...?
Without this gold mine, are they still of any use to His Highness Prince Yi?
If His Highness Prince Yi feels they are no longer useful, and this gold mine is a huge hot potato, will His Highness Prince Yi... will he abandon them just like he abandoned the gold mine?
Abandoning this gold mine is simply leaving it here;
If we abandon them... will they even survive?
Oh, right, the prince just said... said... said he brought people to clean this place up, and said he wanted to watch it clean up himself...
Does Your Highness need to deal with... them?
Feng Jiu and the other two all thought of these things, and for a moment their hearts pounded, their heads spun, and stars flashed before their eyes...
Along with Venus, the words "silence" also flew and flashed wildly!
Throughout history, whether those in power have failed in their plans or need to keep certain secrets, haven't they always killed those who knew the truth to silence them?
They were also in the know...
Feng Jiu and his two companions were terrified! Truly terrified!
At this moment, only the prince and his two cold-faced guards were in the room.
As for the three people on their side... although they all knew a little martial arts, they knew their own limitations.
Half of their skill is boasting, and the other three parts are just empty talk. As for the remaining skill, they have no chance of winning against these two guards in their tight-fitting clothes!
Not to mention that the prince also brought other people with him.
They had no idea how many people the prince had brought, nor did they dare to ask!
In a flash, Feng Jiu and the other two weighed the vast disparity in strength between the two sides in their minds and understood the gravity of the situation. Without further hesitation, all three of them knelt down before Xiao Jingye with a series of thuds.
"Your Highness, spare my life!"
Since we came here to guard this gold mine, we have never left Qilin Mountain!
We servants have always been loyal to Your Highness, working diligently and conscientiously, never daring to be careless in the slightest!
We beg Your Highness to spare our lives, taking heed of our loyalty!
The common people are willing to serve the prince like slaves for the rest of their lives!
Your Highness!
Crown Prince Xiao Jingye sat on the throne, watching the three men beg for mercy and kowtow, tears streaming down their faces.
After a long pause, Xiao Jingye coughed lightly and said, "Alright, alright!"
I only said I was bringing men to clear this gold mine; of course, I will definitely kill people afterward.
But I never said I wanted your lives.
What kind of behavior is this!
"Get up, all of you!"
"what?
Oh, yes!
We, your humble servants, thank Your Highness!
The three of them felt as if they had been granted a pardon on the verge of death, and they wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
Xiao Jingye, Leng Rongyue, and Xiao Jingyu almost burst out laughing at the sight of his strange expression.
They understood what "Your Highness Prince Yi" meant: they wouldn't die, they wouldn't die!
As long as they don't die, how the prince's men clean up the gold mine and who they kill is none of their concern!
