Planning to Rob Fellow Crooks?
The grape-like girl cried out in terror, "Bad guy, super bad! He likes to beat people, especially women! Run! Run away!"
Then the second prince's voice came, and he said with a smile:
"Welcome to the Kingdom of Khotan! You must be tired from your journey, so please take a good rest!"
"By the way, did you bring everything you brought?"
Wang Quan nodded and said, "They've all been brought here; they're outside the city."
The second prince rubbed his hands together and said, "Then take me to see it now!"
Wang Quan looked at Zhou Wanwan, Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Then let's go take a look!"
The second prince smiled and said, "Who is this little girl? Is she your daughter? I have several children about that age in my family, they are all very cute."
Wang Quan nodded, said nothing, and led the second prince to the outskirts of the city.
The second prince looked at the three carriages and nodded, saying, "Good, thank you for delivering these things. You can leave now."
Wang Quan was stunned. "Second Prince, what does this mean? What do you mean I can leave now?"
The officers and soldiers beside him sneered:
"If you don't even understand this, the Second Prince means you can all get out of here."
"Don't tell me you'd like to stay for dinner?"
Wang Quan hadn't expected these people to go back on their word: "Didn't you say that if we brought the weapons here, you'd just give us a whole cartload to take back?"
The second prince, with his hands behind his back, looked at them and said:
"You've been in this business for so many years, don't you understand what I mean?"
Tell your prefect that if he dares to spread this matter, I will tell the Emperor of Great Xia that he is colluding with foreign enemies.
This is a serious crime; in your Great Xia Kingdom, it would mean the execution of the entire family, wouldn't it?
Is this a scheme to double-cross someone?
The second prince looked at Zhou Wanwan Zhou Wanwan the maids beside her and said, "Keep all these women here. The women of the Great Xia Kingdom are indeed beautiful; I like them very much."
Is this some kind of scheme to take advantage of someone and then leave them all?
Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "The Second Prince's actions are truly disgusting."
The second prince looked at her with a smile and said:
"You're such a beautiful little girl, I love raising girls like you. I'll raise you up, and then..."
That feeling was indescribably wonderful.
Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "A pedophile? You're really a pervert."
"Hahaha... Thank you for the compliment. Young lady, you're quick-witted. I like it. Interesting, very interesting."
Suddenly, powder filled the air, and these people collapsed to the ground with a "thud."
Zhou Wanwan kicked him in the face and said, "Disgusting! Let's go check out his mansion! I wonder if we'll find anything unexpected?"
In reality, the carriage was completely empty; only this fool would believe it.
Even if Zhou Wanwan were foolish, she wouldn't give the weapons of the Great Xia Kingdom to other countries.
Although the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom is not very good, treason is still unacceptable.
Zhou Wanwan returned to the Second Prince's residence. The main house and side rooms were well-organized, and there were several jujube trees planted in the courtyard.
Zhou Wanwan looked at the jujube trees and asked, "Could you tell me where the Second Prince hid his treasure?"
The jujube trees trembled in fright, and the jujubes on them fell one after another.
Zhou Wanwan picked up a jujube, took a bite, and said, "This jujube tastes really good. Would you like to come back to the Great Xia Kingdom with me?"
The jujube quickly shook its head and said, "I don't want to go back to Great Xia with you! I've heard that Great Xia Kingdom is extremely cold, and I'm afraid of the cold."
Zhou Wanwan coaxed, "Oh, what's there to be cold about? We have greenhouses. If it's a tree, we'll put clothes on you underneath."
The jujube tree looked at her and said, "Do you still have clothes to wear where you are?"
Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:
"Actually, there's no need to be afraid. After drinking our homemade spring water, your dates will become even sweeter. Just wait a moment!"
I'll give you some to drink.
Zhou Wanwan poured some directly for it, and the jujube tree gulped it down, saying, "Sweet, so sweet! I'll go with you!"
The Old Scholar Tree picked it up and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? But these dates are indeed quite sweet."
Gu Sinian also took a bite and said, "It definitely tastes much sweeter than the dates back home."
The jujube tree quickly said:
"There are also many peach trees, grapevines, pear trees, and apple trees in the backyard!"
These varieties were all selected by the second prince from superior breeds across the country.
Zhou Wanwan looked around and said, "You think such a small place can hold so many books?"
The jujube tree laughed heartily, "This is only the front yard; you haven't seen the back yard yet! Let me take you there!"
When I got to the backyard, I realized there were probably hundreds of trees there.
The jujube tree explained:
"All the trees here are different varieties, including the peaches. There are more than ten varieties: this is a nectarine, this is an eagle beak peach, this is a flat peach..."
There are at least thirty varieties of grapes, each with a distinct flavor.
These fruits are selling very well and demand exceeds supply.
Zhou Wanwan swallowed hard, picked up a bunch of grapes and tried them, saying:
"These grapes are so sweet, they're incredibly sweet! The sunshine here is amazing, it's wonderful!"
It would be even better if I could take all these grapes back with me.
We'll plant them all in greenhouses, and then we'll be able to enjoy fresh grapes in winter."
If grapes could be sold in the Great Xia Kingdom during winter, the price would definitely skyrocket.
Looking at the fruit trees, Zhou Wanwan said, "I really want to take them all back with me!"
The peach tree beside me said crisply, "Where are you from? I'm a juicy peach! If the environment where you live isn't good, I wouldn't want to go!"
Zhou Wanwan washed a peach, took a bite, and exclaimed, "So sweet..."
The peach smiled and said, "Of course I'm sweet. My master loves me the most, and my descendants are all wealthy and noble."
Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow and asked, "You have descendants too?"
The peach proudly declared:
"Of course they have descendants. See that little house over there?"
They are all seeds. With these seeds, my descendants will soon be scattered all over the world.
Zhou Wanwan pushed open the small hut over there, which turned out to be a warehouse filled with all sorts of seeds, each labeled with a different number.
Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she immediately placed all the seeds inside the house by the Old Scholar Tree.
If only these seeds could bloom all over her mountain village.
The problem is that the temperature in her mountain village is too cold, and she's worried that the animals won't be able to adapt.
It's not a big problem, though; we can just build a greenhouse then.
However, nothing beats a hot spring. It would be even better if their mountain village had one.
Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "It's a pity that there are no hot springs in our mountain stronghold, otherwise none of this would be a problem."
A nearby cypress tree suddenly spoke up, "Who said our mountain stronghold doesn't have hot springs?"
Zhou Wanwan looked at it and said, "Hot spring?"
