Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 356: Strange things to live in

After hearing Song Yuan's explanation, Luo Jia lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

In the past two days, Luo Jia has also eaten a lot of ginseng. She has personally experienced its effects!

And according to Song Yuan, the effect of the thousand-year-old ginseng is probably better than what he usually eats!

But then I thought, when did this guy become so kind?

He would rather take those people's lives, so how could he consider using ginseng to keep them alive?

As the saying goes, when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Luo Jia's eyes suddenly showed a bit of suspicion.

"Let me guess. You've gone through so much trouble just to give me the ginseng, right? You've poisoned the ginseng. If I really do what you said and keep them alive, wouldn't that mean I'll poison them all to death?"

"This way, you can not only capture prisoners but also obtain a large number of war horses. You won't have to worry about the people you released becoming enemies again. This is probably your plan, right?"

I rely on!

You even see through this!

If I didn't know you were a human, I would have thought you were a worm in my stomach.

Seeing that Luo Jia was so hard to fool, Song Yuan felt a chill in his heart, smiled bitterly to himself, and quickly put on a serious look.

"I originally thought that after spending so much time together, you would be able to feel my character, but now it seems that you may have some misunderstandings about me!"

"I bother!"

Luo Jia didn't believe Song Yuan's nonsense at all. She snorted coldly, "When you used the corpses of my barbarian soldiers to exchange those war horses with my master, where was your character?"

"Look at what you said, isn't that how you treat that old man? When it comes to a beauty like you, the treatment must be different!"

"Besides, wasn't my service at that time considerate enough? I didn't ask your master to do anything. I just burned all the bodies for him. It was a complete funeral service. And you're still not satisfied with that?"

"I suddenly discovered that you actually have one more advantage!" Luo Jia gritted his teeth.

Song Yuan, however, was not ashamed, but proud of it: "You mean, I have always been honest and trustworthy in my business, and I never cheat anyone, right?"

Honesty, you big head ghost!

If I can't do it, this princess will strangle you to death today!

Luo Jia was so angry at Song Yuan's words that she wanted to tear Song Yuan's shameless face apart.

What kind of environment would allow a person to develop such a shameless habit?

Is this guy still human?

"I think your greatest strength is your shamelessness!" Luo Jia said viciously.

"Even a robber would feel ashamed in front of you, but you have such a thick skin. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have been ashamed long ago!"

"Hey……"

Faced with such comments, Song Yuan couldn't help but shook his head: "I originally said so much, and I was hoping that you would remember my kindness after you left. After all, being remembered by a beauty like you is a kind of luck for me!"

"But now it seems that after all, the flower may have feelings, but the water is merciless. Since you misunderstood me so much, forget about the ginseng!"

"Then follow the conditions you stated before. Don't forget them when the time comes!"

At this point, Song Yuan has basically given up on such a plan.

In his opinion, Luo Jia was too cautious. If he forced himself, it would probably be a waste of time in the end!

Fortunately, Song Yuan had already prepared for failure, so he didn't feel too disappointed now.

"and many more!"

But what Song Yuan didn't expect was that just as he was about to cross the threshold, Luo Jia behind him suddenly called him to stop.

"Haven't we already said everything? You want to bargain again?" Song Yuan turned around and glanced at Luo Jia unhappily.

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly took the initiative to speak and proposed: "I suddenly thought of it. Let's do as you said. Two horses in exchange for a prisoner. However, you don't have to deliver the ginseng you gave me in person!"

"You must take me to the treasure house in your house and let me choose one by one!"

In Luojia's view, it was he who took the initiative to propose the exchange of prisoners.

Before this, Song Yuan was definitely unprepared.

Even if Song Yuan wanted to poison the ginseng, it would probably take time.

I'm catching the other party off guard now, and Song Yuan must be completely unprepared!

As for Song Yuan's foresight, Luo Jia had never considered this situation at all!

Although Song Yuan had taken the initiative several times on the battlefield before, there were still traces to follow.

The idea of ​​exchanging prisoners just now suddenly came to me, and even I didn't expect it beforehand, so how could Song Yuan have thought of it?

His mentor, who had been defeated by Song Yuan many times before, was so angry that he vomited blood.

Take that person back and give him some good nourishment. After he gets through the winter, maybe he will be completely cured!

With this thought in mind, Luo Jia eventually fell into Song Yuan's trap!

Hearing this, Song Yuan's heart burst into laughter!

I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect that there would be a ray of hope after all the trouble.

I had given up the idea, but Luojia came to me on his own initiative. God bless me!

"no problem!"

Song Yuan waved his hand and directly agreed to Luo Jia's request. At the same time, he spoke with some doubt and gave some instructions.

"I'm being generous to you this time, but please don't tamper with the warhorse you bring out!"

"We barbarians are not as shameless as you. At least I still have some dignity!" Luo Jia saw Song Yuan comparing himself with him and immediately fought back.

In a good mood, Song Yuan didn't bother to argue and simply waved his hand: "Then just follow me, otherwise it will take too long and arouse suspicion!"

As for Luo Jia's statement, Song Yuan didn't care at all.

Isn't it true that when dealing with enemies, we should use any means necessary?

On the battlefield, even a little bit of mercy is considered cruel to oneself.

What's wrong with being shameless?

After a while, Song Yuan brought Luo Jia to the warehouse.

While ordering his men to open the door, he waved to the maid beside him: "Go, call my aunt!"

"What do you want to do now?" Hearing Song Yuan's arrangement, Luo Jia's eyes were filled with suspicion.

Song Yuan curled his lips and said, "Don't forget that I'm a prince. I'm busy with all sorts of things every day and I manage tens of thousands of people. Do you think I should worry about such trivial matters as where the ginseng is stored in the warehouse?"

"Besides, you're standing here like a dog. Even if I want to tamper with the ginseng, I have to at least hide it from you!"

Faced with such an explanation, Luo Jia was slightly stunned, but finally accepted this reality!

If you think about it carefully, Song Yuan's status is comparable to yours, you really shouldn't worry about such details.

If Song Yuan is familiar with the route, that would be a real problem!

Now that they are so unfamiliar with each other, it proves that the other party is unprepared!

Thinking of this, Luo Jia gradually let down his guard, and just as everyone was talking, Ye Xuan hurried over.

"Your Highness, why did you notify me to come to the warehouse?"

After Ye Xuan sacrificed herself, she only glanced at Luo Jia and understood everything, but pretended not to know and asked.

"We just discussed a business deal. When we came from the Imperial City, didn't we bring a few thousand-year-old ginseng plants with us? You can go and..."

"No need, I'll get it myself!" Luo Jia interrupted Song Yuan before he could finish.

Seeing how much Luo Jia cared about him, Song Yuan couldn't help but curl his lips: "If you ask me, people nowadays are really unpredictable. Have they lost even the most basic trust between people?"

"Then I'll trouble you, aunt, to take the princess to get some ginseng. Then she can pick the one she likes!"

Seeing Ye Xuan nodded, Luo Jia immediately followed behind her.

In her heart, it would never be too careful when dealing with Song Yuan!

Even the beehives on the grassland are probably not more cunning than Song Yuan. If he is not careful, he will fall into their trap!

After a while, under Ye Xuan's guidance, the two arrived in front of a shelf.

Ye Xuan carefully stored the ginseng she had collected before in a wooden box with a lock on it.

After opening it, he showed it to Luojia with some treasure.

Luo Jia only took a glance and couldn't help but frown slightly: "Why are these ginsengs so small? This thing is a thousand years old? Don't lie to me!"

The quality of these ginseng plants was not as good as Luo Jia expected. They looked thin and dry.

Before Ye Xuan could explain, Luo Jia glanced around and quickly noticed two long wooden boxes next to the wooden box!

Compared with the previous large wooden box, these two wooden boxes were obviously more exquisite. Just by getting close to them, Luo Jia could smell a faint medicinal fragrance!

Such a detail instantly made his eyes light up. Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and wiped the two long wooden boxes.

"There should be ginseng in here too, right? Let me see!"

However, he didn't expect that before Luo Jia's hand could touch the wooden box, Song Yuan, who was following behind him, suddenly rushed forward and snatched the two boxes from Luo Jia's hands.

Holding it in your arms, you feel like you are facing a treasure.

"I've said before that the condition for agreeing to give you is thousand-year-old ginseng! These two are precious ginsengs that are tens of thousands of years old. I prepared them specifically for my wife's delivery!"

"Those are two lives. Not to mention yours, I wouldn't give them to you even if His Majesty came. I advise you to give up on this idea!"

You are such a liar!

Seeing Song Yuan's superb acting skills, Ye Xuan beside him couldn't help but curl her lips.

The contents of these two long wooden boxes were obviously the Zhang Liu that Song Yuan had ordered people to prepare long ago.

It’s amazing that he can act so realistically, as if there really is a thousand-year-old ginseng in it!

What’s more important is that Luo Jia fell into the trap. Seeing how much Song Yuan cherished it, he reached out and grabbed it without saying a word!

"It won't kill me to let me see it?"

Before Song Yuan could react, Luo Jia had already taken two long wooden boxes in his hands.

When I opened it, my eyes lit up!

Compared to those dry ginsengs, this round and plump Zhangliu is obviously more marketable!

Coupled with the rich medicinal fragrance, in just a moment, Luo Jia thought that this was a rare treasure in the world!

Compared with the previous ginseng, these two ginsengs are even more precious.

Luo Jia quickly changed his tone and said, "I want these two ginseng plants. These are them!"

"impossible!"

Faced with Luo Jia's arrogant request, Song Yuan suddenly became anxious. Without saying anything, he rushed forward and snatched the wooden box away.

"I said, this is for my wife. Are you my wife?"

"Forget about a mere warhorse. Even if you had to trade your high priest's life for it, I wouldn't give it to you!"

As he spoke, Song Yuan handed the two boxes to Ye Xuan with great preciousness, and did not forget to give her some instructions.

"Auntie, please be careful and keep these two ginseng plants somewhere else. As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about thieves stealing them, but you have to worry about thieves thinking about them!"

"Bah, you're the thief!"

When Luo Jia heard this, he was so angry that his teeth were itching. Seeing Ye Xuan turned around and left without saying a word, he suddenly became anxious and quickly raised the price.

"I only want one!"

"Leave a ginseng for your wife. It will be enough to save her life when she gives birth!"

But unexpectedly, even in the face of such a request, Song Yuan still refused.

At this moment, he just waved his hand.

"I advise you to give up on this idea. I only have three words for you!"

"impossible!"
