Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 589
Cao Peng smiled and asked, "As expected of the prince, have you brought all the poisonous salt I wanted?"

"Sir, I have found everything you want."

The crown prince of the Anxi Empire was sweating profusely. It seemed that he had spent all his time looking for these things.

"I basically took down several nearby salt fields, and a steady stream of poisonous salt has already been transported here." Prince Anxi said.

"This is good news." Cao Peng smiled slightly and picked up the wine glass on the table.

"Come, drink this cup to the brim!"

Looking at Cao Peng, the eldest prince of the Anxi Empire looked solemn, and he waved his hand.

"Sir, you can drink the wine later, tell me first, what's the use of using so much coarse salt here?"

Because this time, such a big move, although it only occupied a few mine salt sites, there is nothing impenetrable in the world, and news will definitely spread.

At that time, King Anxi will definitely send a large army to conquer.

The time left for the prince was running out, and he put everything on Cao Peng desperately, so he was naturally a little flustered.

Cao Peng looked at the other party's appearance and felt that rotten wood was impossible to carve.

However, he still patiently explained to the other party.

"To build a powerful army, a lot of money must be needed, but have you ever thought about how much wealth you have in your hands now?"

Cao Peng's casual question immediately let him rest in peace, and the eldest prince of the empire fell into a helpless state.

That's right, even though he is the first prince, he doesn't have much wealth at all.

The army was sent to him by the king, and no one could die for him, except some guards.

When it comes to wealth, it's even more ridiculous, he doesn't have any source of income.

Looking at his embarrassed face, Cao Peng knew that he had reached a critical point.

"I asked you to prepare these crude salts to be converted into salt business naturally, and supplement the wealth in your hands so that you can transform wealth into military strength."

After Cao Peng said these words, the crown prince of the Anxi Empire finally realized something.

He has to admire Cao Peng's foresight, and now he has already planned for a rainy day and plans to build an army.

He wasn't sure about this. Wasn't Cao Peng really joking?
Such a thing still makes the crown prince of the Anxi Empire somewhat skeptical.

After all, this coarse salt has to be turned into fine white salt.

Such a thing, let alone seen it, has never even heard of it.

"How confident are you in turning these poisonous salts into fine white salt?" the prince asked.

"It turns out that the prince doesn't believe it, so let's limit it to half a month, and then you can come here yourself!" Cao Peng said.

The prince of the Anxi Empire had no choice but to nod. Since he decided to trust Cao Peng, he could only go the same way as Cao Peng.

"When the surprise refined salt comes out, the prince must find a market in advance, otherwise, everything will be in vain." Cao Peng sneered.

The prince nodded, cupped his hands and said:
"Please rest assured, General, I understand this naturally in my heart."

……

After leaving the camp, the prince's teacher witnessed all the process, but he didn't make a sound before.

Until now, he said: "I hope His Majesty will not overwhelm the wrong person, otherwise, we will die without a place to bury us."

Hearing what his teacher said, the prince of the Anxi Empire only felt a little more pressure.

"Sir, you don't need to hire someone. Since we have decided to cooperate with him, we must have confidence.

This may be our only chance..." The prince sighed.

……

Another half month has passed.

For the past half month, the prince has been sitting on pins and needles every day, and he is looking forward to the good news from Cao Peng.

Finally, a guard came to the prince.

"His Royal Highness, my lord asked me to bring you this."

While talking, the guard handed over a black cloth bag.

After receiving this bag, the prince was ecstatic.

He hurriedly opened the cloth bag, only to see that the inside was like sand, each one was crystal clear under the light.

This is actually fine salt like white sand...

"Cao Peng really has great powers, he can turn rough salt into refined salt!"

The eldest prince of the Anxi Empire, looking at the eyes, this is like the refined salt of white sand, muttering to himself...

"Go back and tell your lord, I will visit you in a while." The prince said.

After Cao Peng's guards were ordered to leave, the old man in the tent said to the prince, "Prince, you have to think clearly. If you sell these things, it will definitely attract the king's attention."

The crown prince of the Anxi Empire, after thinking for a while, said again: "Sir, I have already figured it out."

He decided to go all the way to the dark, that is, to rest with his father, the emperor of the Anxi Empire, and did it openly.

The atmosphere was silent for a long time.

As the eldest prince's teacher, he does not approve of the eldest prince, and embarked on a road of no return.

Unauthorized expansion of financial resources and recruitment of soldiers are suspected of rebellion.

Paper can't hold fire, and sooner or later the king will find out.

When the time comes when the army comes to conquer, the prince and the king will stand on opposite sides.

Firstly, in name, the prince is at a disadvantage, and secondly, the confrontation of military strength may not be able to win the opponent.

……

The prince came to Cao Peng's place, and bowed his hands to Cao Peng as soon as he entered the camp.

"Sir, you really are a genius, you can even do such a thing!"

Cao Peng curled his lips and smiled lightly: "It's just a matter of idleness. With these words, the prince will have a stable source of income."

The crown prince nodded and said with a smile: "It's only natural, if something big happens in the future, the first credit will be on Mr.

"Prince, you should understand the principle of reciprocating peaches, right? I have given you such wealth, should you also give me something?" Cao Peng asked with a smile.

The crown prince of the Anxi Empire knew what Cao Peng meant.That is to want a sincere title certificate.

Something that fully binds himself and him.

"I'm dull, I don't know what His Royal Highness King Chuan wants?" Prince Anxi asked.

Cao Peng knew that he was pretending to be confused, so he stopped being polite to him and spoke directly.

"I heard that several cities in the south are under your jurisdiction. Let my army enter the city to garrison. This is the condition."

Before the crown prince of the Anxi Empire said anything, the old man behind him frowned. This Cao Peng was really a lion and got them into a difficult situation by speaking.

After the prince and his teacher looked at each other, they looked at Cao Peng again.

"Okay, I can promise the general about this!"

Cao Peng smiled lightly: "Hehe, it seems that the prince is also a straightforward person, so wish us a happy cooperation!"
