At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

Chapter 306: King Minglan



Chapter 306: King Minglan

Seeing that Hake Lion opened his mouth wide, Linyi was not a clay Buddha that anyone could step on.

"Boss Hake, please don't go too far. We'll see each other again in the future."

"It's true that this is your territory, the Hu people, but will you do business in Wei or Han in the future?" Lin Yi stopped speaking softly and started to take a tough stance.

Ma Min next to him whispered, "Master, why don't we kill them all? This is our territory anyway."

Huck was slow to speak, so Ma Min waved to the guards next to him, signaling them to arrest all the people.

They wanted both the people and the goods.

"Wait a minute, who can make the decision here?" Ren Hao spoke and asked the old pavilion chief to translate his words.

"I can make the decision. Do you have anything to say?" A captain walked in.

The old captain pointed at the captain of the guards and translated the words to Ren Hao.

"Let them go and take me to see your king. I know where your princess is." Ren Hao could only give it a try.

When the guard commander learned that Ren Hao knew the whereabouts of Princess Rouyue, he immediately became excited and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Absolutely true." Ren Hao nodded and asked the old pavilion chief next to him to continue translating.

"China, the people of the Central Plains have always been very cunning. Don't listen to the nonsense of a driven person."

"He definitely doesn't know the whereabouts of the princess." Ma Min became anxious, fearing that Chi Na would believe it.

But the commander named Chi Na ignored Ma Min and just looked at Hak next to him and said, "Master Hak, the whereabouts of the princess is very important. I will take this person back to see the king. As for their goods, you can take them. This is my repayment for your favor."

"Okay." Although Huck was dissatisfied, he still knew what was more important.

"Master, shall we let him take the man away now?" Ma Min pointed at Ren Hao who was being taken away by the guards, feeling very unhappy.

"What else can we do if we don't let them take him away? Didn't you hear what Commander Chi Na said?" Hake glared at Ma Min. Although he didn't want to let Ren Hao go just like that, he couldn't afford to offend Chi Na.

But fortunately, China still allowed them to take away the goods brought by Linyi, which was the greatest way to compensate for the losses.

When Hake ordered his Hu Ke to move Linyi's goods away, Tiehu became angry.

These were the goods that they had transported with great effort and risk of blood. If they were to watch them take the goods away, wouldn't this trip be completely ruined for the brothers?

Tiehu was about to draw the scimitar at his waist and lead his brothers to fight Hake's men, but he was held down by Linyi.

"Master, we can't just watch everyone suffer together." Tiehu said unwillingly.

"As long as the mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. I believe Ren Sikong will find a way to help us get the goods back." Lin Yi shook his head and advised Tiehu not to be reckless.

Tiehu could only sigh and let go.

The one-eyed man returned to the inn a little drunk. When he saw the Hu people moving the goods on the Linyi cart, he immediately asked, "Old man, are you selling all the goods?"

"No." Lin Yi shook his head and explained the whole story.

The one-eyed man just sighed and nodded, and did not try to show off his strength under the influence of alcohol. He just comforted Lin Yi and the others that a brave man should not suffer a loss in front of him, and as long as they could keep their lives, they would have a chance to make a fortune next time.

After all, this is the territory of the Hu people, and with the support of Boss Hake and Commander China, he would not cause trouble.

Seeing Ma Min and his men carrying the goods that his brothers had worked so hard to transport, Tiehu felt as sad as if his father had died. Ma Min gloated over this and even humiliated them, saying, "Come and help them, maybe my master will be happy and leave some goods for you as travel expenses."

"You guys..." Before Tiehu could finish his words with gritted teeth, Lin Yi next to him dragged Tiehu away. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind.

If they didn't have the support of Commander Chi Na, if a head-on clash really came to a head-on, it would be hard to say who would win.

"Don't let me meet these bastards in the desert again." Tiehu muttered with gritted teeth, and followed Lin Yi back to the guest room.

On the other side, Ren Hao and the old pavilion chief were taken to the palace by Commander China.

At this time, outside the palace were many traveling merchants who were eager to see King Minglan. Among these merchants were Wei people, Han people, Hu people, and even Semites who came from Central Asia.

Ren Hao also asked the old pavilion chief to follow Chi Na, passing the traveling merchants and entering the hall.

Compared with the solemnity and grandeur of the Linde Hall, this royal palace is luxurious but lacks solemnity and grandeur. It is as casual as the resting hall in the back garden for entertaining ministers.

What caught the eye upon entering the hall was an arc-shaped red wine pool. The Hu officials were gathered around the wine pool, enjoying the wine to their heart's content, not looking like subjects at all.

If the minister was like this, the king sitting on the throne had a beauty in his arms, a leg of lamb in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, looking like a complete tyrant.

The merchants kneeling at the steps and offering their tributes would obtain the right to do business in Minglan as long as they could satisfy King Minglan.

The guards on the side shouted to Ren Hao and the old pavilion chief: "Kneel down quickly when you see the great Moon King."

The spineless old pavilion chief knelt down immediately and tried to pull Ren Hao down with him.

But Ren Hao knocked the old pavilion chief's hand away and just stood there.

The old pavilion chief said anxiously: "Brother, this is someone else's territory. We are men who can bend and stretch. It is not shameful to kneel down."

"Humph."

"I'm not a spineless person like you. You've brought shame upon yourself." Ren Hao rolled his eyes at the old pavilion chief. Although he was only the head of a village, he was also a minister of Wei.

As a subject, how could I kowtow three times and nine times to anyone other than the emperor?

Even though the guard's halberd was against Ren Hao's neck, Ren Hao still knelt down without fear. As the Minister of Revenue of the Han Dynasty, it was not proper for him to kneel down before the king of a small country in the Western Regions.

Chi Na walked up to the emperor, whispered a few words in King Minglan's ear and pointed at Ren Hao.

Prince Minglan's drunken eyes suddenly sobered up. He waved to the two guards who had their halberds on Ren Hao's neck, then looked at Ren Hao and said, "Do you really know the whereabouts of the princess?"

Uh, this Prince Minglan can actually speak Chinese.

Ren Hao couldn't help but be stunned.

But when he thought that Princess Rouyue could speak Chinese, he felt relieved.

"Yes, I do know the whereabouts of the princess."

"She did not elope with the prince of a small country as rumored." Ren Hao nodded.
