Chapter 196: Greedy

Mo Xiangbin was stunned and didn’t understand what the next things meant as Yelü Anchen mentioned.

Yelü Anchen looked calm and didn’t seem to come to find fault with him.

Of course this time Yelü Anchen didn’t come to find fault with Mo Xiangbin.

The evidence against the Mo Country had fallen into his hands, and he came to blackmail.

“The Zhao Country and Wei Country still haven’t known that the colorful phenix has died. It’s not difficult to keep it a secret. It only depends on what Your Majesty will do.” Yelü Anchen said meaningfully.

This opening speech like negotiation was not fit for Yelü Anchen who was hot-tempered and straightforward, and Mo Xiangbin knew it was not his idea at a glance.

But Mo Xiangbin was not in the mood to think about who was behind Yelü Anchen.

He was nervous under the threat and blurted out, “What do you want?”

As soon as he spoke, Mo Xiangbin regretted.

Didn’t it mean that he confessed before interrogation?

But he had said that and couldn’t draw back.

He had to watch as Yelü Anchen smiled and then grinned, saying at leisure, “It’s easy. As long as you agree to my three requirements, I don’t mind keeping this secret for you.”

“It is up to me if I would bring up the old story in the future.”

Yelü Anchen thought evilly.

Under the situation, Mo Xiangbin was clear that it was pointless to argue with Yelü Anchen, so he had to ask, “What do you want?”

If the conditions were not too limiting, he might as well pay some money to solve the problem.

He could avoid disaster by paying money.

While Mo Xiangbin was thinking, Yelü Anchen came straight to the point.

He stated forcefully, “First, the Mo Country is productive of iron mine. You need to specially arrange a channel to send iron mine to our country, giving at least three thousand carts of iron mine to our emperor every year.”

It seemed not difficult.

After all, the iron mine in the Mo Country was so much that it couldn’t be used up.

“Second, the Mo Country needs to send three thousand dan of grain to the Liang Country every year in the future.”

The Mo Country was in the east as a rich land where fish and rice were abundant.

Only three thousand dan of grain was not a big deal. As long as they planted the grain, they didn’t worry that the people in the Liang Country would learn their planting technique.

Mo Xiangbin nodded in his heart again.

When he was about to speak, Yelü Anchen added arrogantly, “Third, the Mo Country should give all the five cities in the north to the Liang Country.”

“What?” Mo Xiangbin sprang up from his throne emotionally.

He looked shocked and furious and could hardly believe that Yelü Anchen dared demand such an exorbitant price.

Yelü Anchen raised his chin and replied with disdain, “I have told you about my requirements and won’t repeat. I believe that Your Majesty has heard them clearly.”

Mo Xiangbin was too angry. He laughed and snorted. “Prince, you are so bold. You want our country’s grain and mine, and it is not enough? You even want our territory. Do you think that my people in the Mo Country are weak and would be bullied by you?”

Yelü Anchen didn’t mind but shrugged and hit his vital part. “Anyway I have mentioned my requirements. The answer is just one word, yes or no. Your Majesty, if you insist on refusing, I don’t mind letting all people in the world know that the holy bird on the Qin Continent was killed by the emperor of the Mo Country.

“Then I am not sure how the common people would react!”

Mo Xiangbin was not as aggressive as before and lost his momentum in an instant.

He softened and asked, “The Mo Country and Liang Country are on good terms for many years, but you are so overbearing, Prince. I’m afraid that it would influence the two countries’ diplomatic relation, right?”

He had no choice but to mention the friendship.

Yelü Anchen snorted and almost burst into laughter.

Last year, the two countries had a fight. Because of the damned Shi Army, his brother, the king of the Liang Country, Yelü Beichen was injured.

The Liang Country’s army was defeated utterly.

Before coming, Yelü Anchen hated the people of the Mo Country to the bone, and later, he had been humiliated by Mo Junyang on the training ground.

He was anxious to lead the army to the south and destroy the Mo Country. How would he care about the two countries’ relation?

“Your Majesty, if you are determined to refuse, I have nothing to say.” Yelü Anchen didn’t give him a chance to negotiate.

He feared nothing as he had something to rely on.

If the news was exposed, Mo Xiangbin was the only one who would be nervous.

So what if the Mo Country had become stronger?

Could they defeat three countries alone?

The Wei Country always played a coward and kept neutral, but when there were profits to share, they would be more diligent than anybody.

In front of the interest, there was no diplomatic relation.

Mo Xiangbin was deflated as he knew that Yelü Anchen was difficult to deal with.

Would he really agree to Yelü Anchen’s greedy conditions?

He couldn’t do that!

When Mo Xiangbin was in a dilemma, Wu Yalei stood up and pretended to be a good guy. “Since Your Majesty has mentioned the two countries’ diplomatic relation, rationally, we need to make a concession.”

Yelü Anchen goggled with displeasure.

Mo Xiangbin’s eyes lit up while joy was shown on his face.

“We have made an offer and won’t force you to make a decision right now, Your Majesty. So we will give you three days to think it over. Please give us an answer in three days.”

Wu Yalei spoke slowly and disappointed Mo Xiangbin who was excited.

It almost made Mo Xiangbin have a heart attack.

Mo Xiangbin took a deep breath and finally calmed down.

But they didn’t ask for his permission. After saying that, Wu Yalei pulled Yelü Anchen out of the imperial study.

Mo Xiangbin was left alone in the room and sighed, worried a lot.

“Wu Yalei, we have agreed to let me handle this matter, and I did as the guy named Ying said. Why did you interrupt? Don’t you want to stay alive?”

As soon as they left the imperial study, Yelü Anchen couldn’t help but vent his anger on Wu Yalei.

In the imperial study, he had driven Mo Xiangbin into the corner several times, but Wu Yalei insisted on playing a good guy to mediate. It was boring.

If Yelü Beichen hadn’t repeatedly told him not to argue with Wu Yalei in front of outsiders and embarrass the Liang Country, Yelü Anchen would have fallen out with him.

Yelü Anchen respected his elder brother very much. Although he was hot-tempered, he did everything that his bother told him to do.

He could endure it earlier. But now that there was no outsider around, he exploded.

Wu Yalei’s ears buzzed under the roar.

He restrained his urge to cover his ears and lowered his head, saying humbly, “Your Highness, please calm down. We have the evidence against the Mo Country and they have to agree to our requirements sooner or later. I just don’t want to worsen the relation between the two countries.”

Yelü Anchen snorted. “Huh, our Liang Country is so big. Would we be afraid of the Mo Country? We will have another fight at worst. This time I will go with the army in person!”

It seemed that as long as he went to the battlefield, they could win the Shi Army and defeat the Mo Country.

Wu Yalei tried not to roll his eyes and mentioned Yelü Beichen’s golden rules again.

“Before we came, His Majesty told us that we came to the Mo Country this time in order to get some profits, and we should try our best not to have conflicts with them. After all, our country was just defeated…”

Before he finished his words, he had to change his words under Yelü Anchen’s glare. “…We can’t resort to violence anymore.”

The displeasure on Yelü Anchen’s face was evident, but he stopped yelling. He just complained crossly, “My brother is always brave and battlewise. Why is he afraid of the Mo Country with a lot of cowards. It’s not fun!”

Lord Wu was speechless and talked to himself, “Maybe Mo Xiangbin looks like a coward, but everybody in the Shi Army is like a wolf or poisonous snake which can bite people.”

Being beaten once, they would be half dead even if they wouldn’t die.

Yelü Anchen didn’t experience the war last year, so he didn’t know the power of the Shi Army.

Even Wu Yalei, a person who always supported his country, understood one principle.

As long as the Shi Amy existed, the Mo Country would exist.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t tell Yelü Anchen about such principles, and the prince wouldn’t understand.

Wu Yalei had to lower his head and play a coward once more, coaxing Yelü Anchen in different ways to make him go back.

However, it was a small world.

Before they walked out of the imperial palace, they bumped into Mo Junyang.

Mo Junyang still looked cold, distant and arrogant.

Yelü Anchen got angry at the sight of Mo Junyang and straightened his back, almost raising his chin to the sky while leering at Mo Junyang.

It seemed that there were words on his face, “I despise you.”

He swore to disdain Mo Junyang with the attitude.

But Mo Junyang didn’t even give a glance at Yelü Anchen. He looked ahead and his expression didn’t change when he passed by Yelü Anchen unhurriedly.

There was nothing around in his eyes.

He just didn’t take anybody seriously.

Yelü Anchen hadn’t expected that Mo Junyang would ignore him. He raised his chin for a long time and felt the sour pain, but Mo Junyang just passed by him casually, taking him as nothing.

He was stunned for a long time and then came to his senses, going ballistic.

“Mo Junyang!”

Yelü Anchen roared furiously, regardless of his conceited pose. He turned around and came quickly to Mo Junyang, standing in his way.

Mo Junyang had to stop with his cold eyes falling on Yelü Anchen.

“What’s up?” His voice was indifferent, and he frowned, without concealing his impatience.

Yelü Anchen was more furious and pointed at Mo Junyang’s nose, cursing, “How can you have the face to ask me what’s up?”

Mo Junyang’s eyes darkened and he patted away the finger in front of him, saying coldly, “Cut the crap. Say what you want.”

Yelü Anchen was unable to reply.

The prince of the Liang Country was cold-shouldered for the first time, so he flew into fury. However, Mo Junyang couldn’t be irritated anyway and just frustrated him. As a result, Yelü Anchen lost his interest no matter how furious he was.

Yelü Anchen bore with the anger and couldn’t curse anymore.

If it were somebody else, Yelü Anchen would have started a fight.

But it was Mo Junyang. The prince clenched his fists but endured it all the time and didn’t wave them.

He was no match for Mo Junyang.

Of course, Yelü Anchen would never admit this fact.

He just told himself constantly that he didn’t take actions because he had promised his brother not to stir up trouble. It was not because he feared Mo Junyang.

Definitely not.

After comforting himself, Yelü Anchen still couldn’t endure it.

A fight was on the verge of breaking out.
