Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 152 Gifts
The bonfire was blazing, and the two big chests of treasure reflected charming brilliance under the light of the fire.

Sanguido, the rat spirit, stood next to the box, his face exuding a glow of confidence.

"His Royal Highness Shu, this is a gift from my eldest prince to His Highness. My eldest prince has said something beforehand. These two boxes of jewels are just a token of respect. Regardless of whether the business is completed or not, there will be another important gift!"

At this moment, Sangjidu was drunk, and was provoked by Li Ke and others, so he spoke more generously.

He expects to show the strength of the eldest prince, and Li Ke will look at it differently, and the deal is already guaranteed.

Li Ke nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! The eldest prince is indeed extraordinary, I admire you!"

At this moment, he was looking at the two boxes of jewels, his eyes were shining, and he looked at his posture, as if he was about to step forward and take the jewels into his arms.

This scene, in the eyes of Sanjidu, made Sanjidu feel more confident, and he was more sure that he had figured out Li Ke's temperament: as long as he has money, he can talk about anything!
"only……"

When Li Ke changed the subject, he frowned, rather doubtful: "This king has promised the second prince to trade with your country, and he will operate it exclusively. This is a breach of faith..."

He stared at the jewel for a second time, then raised his head to make eye contact with Gu Wu, Ma Liuzhi and others, and finally sighed.

"Ugh!"

Li Ke waved his hand: "I'm afraid the eldest prince's kindness will not be accepted by me!"

As he spoke, he asked Sanjidu to carry the two boxes of jewels away.

Having said that, Sangjidu could clearly see Li Ke's small eyes aiming at the jewelry.

Sanjidu snickered in his heart. This reaction of King Shu was completely expected by him.

He obviously wanted to get some more jewels, so he had to put on a prudish gesture that valued loyalty more than money.

Sangjidu understood that the second prince sent five boxes of jewelry in total to make the business, and his two boxes naturally couldn't pry Li Ke's mind.

But Sangjidu had already made arrangements, the two boxes of jewels were just appetizers, and he still had nine boxes of jewels waiting to be thrown at the money-grubbing king of Shu!

Stretching out his big hand, Sangjidu said generously: "What did Your Highness say? This jewelry is a gift for the friendship between our two countries, it has nothing to do with this business! My eldest prince just wants to make friends with His Highness, is it possible to make friends? Also violated the faith?"

Without waiting for Li Ke to reply, he took another step forward: "Your Highness must carefully consider the matter of buying and selling, and we will discuss it later. But this friendship, His Highness must accept it!"

"Oh? Friendship between the two countries?"

Li Ke's eyes lit up, and he looked at Gu Wu and Ma Liuzhi again, as if it was difficult to make a choice.

Sangjidu secretly laughed in his heart, you act, keep acting!
Ma Liuzhi had already stood up at this time, he cupped his hands, and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, it's hard to refuse such kindness, so it's hard for us to refute this kindness, isn't it?"

"exactly!"

Sangjidu took advantage of the situation and followed: "General Ma's words are good! Naturally, this business has to be negotiated slowly, and whether it can be completed depends on the number of days. But the prince's wish, I hope he will accept it. Your Highness, the villain takes orders." Come here, and I beg Your Highness not to make it difficult for a villain..."

Sangjidu is very guilty of giving this jewel to Li Ke, which is so generous that it makes people ashamed.

"it is good!"

Li Ke hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded "reluctantly" under the persuasion of everyone.

"For the sake of the friendship between our two countries, then the king...haha... just accept it!"

Seeing Li Ke accepting the jewels, Sangjidu was overjoyed, as long as you accept the money, the rest will be easy to discuss.

He estimated in his mind when the remaining jewels should be delivered, and how to defeat the Shu king's psychological defense step by step.

This dinner party can be described as a feast for the guests and the host. The four of them drank wine and ate meat, so happy!
Sanjidu never mentioned the business again, he knew in his heart that these two boxes of jewels were not enough to pry Li Ke into changing his mind.

But seeing Li Ke treat him more enthusiastically, he knew in his heart that this matter was probably a sure thing.

Taking the remaining nine boxes of jewels with him, Sanjidu returned to the station with a plan in his mind that would ensure him to achieve his goal.

The second prince gave three boxes of jewels in a row in the first three days, only for Li Ke to nod, and then gave two boxes of jewels to facilitate the matter.

Now that he wanted to change Li Ke's mind, it was naturally more difficult, and the money he gave would naturally be more.

So he planned to send two boxes of jewelry to Shu Palace every day.

Anyway, he still has nine boxes of jewelry, which can be delivered every day or four days. He doesn't believe that so many jewelry can't make Li Ke change his mind.

After thinking of a strategy, Sanjidu fell asleep contentedly, preparing to continue his efforts to conquer Li Ke the next day.

But early the next morning, things changed.

Nivalo sent another letter, plus more than ten boxes of jewels.

Sangjidu was very curious, and immediately opened the letter and read it.

The letter stated that the second prince had recently gained momentum through the silk trade, and the eldest prince sent more than ten boxes of treasures, forcing Sangjidu to complete the task.

If the King of Shu could not be persuaded to agree to the trade, then Sangjidu would not have to go back, and he would just kill himself on the spot!
These words are harsh, but Sanjidu is not nervous at all, he has a perfect plan and is full of confidence in completing the task.

It's all right now, I have more jewels on hand, and it's easier to give gifts.

Sangjidu put his heart on the line: "Add another box of jewelry, three boxes a day, and send it to the Shu Palace!"

"I don't believe it anymore, so many jewels can't pry your Shu king's mind!"

……

It can be said that Li Ke received gifts in the past two days, and he was soft-handed. This mudra man was really generous, and he brought jewelry to him all day long, and box after box of shiny jewelry greeted his palace.Ren Gu Wu, Ma Liu Zhi and the others were all people who were used to seeing big scenes on the battlefield, so they couldn't help but be speechless.

"Your Highness, this move of yours is too powerful! You tricked that idiot into giving gifts to us all day long, and he smiled while giving them back. We'd be ashamed if we didn't accept them!"

Ma Liuzhi sighed as he looked at the several large boxes of jewelry on the lobby.

Li Ke laughed, and he counted the boxes. Since the mouse spirit came to Chengdu, he sent a total of eight boxes, plus two small boxes of jewels.

Looking at these jewels, he couldn't help sighing: "The eldest prince is really rich, and he sent so much in just a few days... Gu Wu, how many jewels are there left in the station?"

Gu Wu bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, Sanjidu still has twenty boxes of jewels on hand!"

"Hey! This is...too...too much!" Ma Liuzhi shrank his neck and sighed.

Li Ke chuckled twice, stood up and paced in the hall.

According to his original plan, it would be enough to drag the eldest prince for a while and give the second prince more time to develop.

But now it seems that the second prince's development momentum is very rapid, so quickly the eldest prince has been forced to send a lot of money to fight for this trade.
