Li Baiyi chuckled and said: "Your Highness the Eighth Prince, don't be so excited. You are the prince and I am a minister. If His Highness the Eighth Prince becomes your future Majesty in the future, I will still be loyal to you."
When the Eighth Prince heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "You want to join me?"
Immediately, he looked at Li Baiyi suspiciously and said, "Impossible. What is your purpose? Tell me. Don't play tricks in front of me."
Li Baiyi laughed and said: "Eighth Prince, don't be so nervous. I just want to make a big bet with you. If I win this time, you have to give me an extra five hundred thousand taels."
Hearing this, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but sneered and said, "Why don't you go grab it? These five hundred thousand taels have already reached a level that can affect the situation. How could I give it to you casually?"
Li Baiyi shook his head: "Your Highness the Eighth Prince, the refugees need money. If you don't give me money, how can I keep them fed and clothed?"
"Besides, you are originally a representative assigned by His Majesty to provide disaster relief. You should give me half of the treasury funds. I don't care what you do with the remaining half."
"Whether you keep the money for yourself or spend it on some courtesan, I don't care. I only want half of it."
However, a silent laughter appeared on the face of the eighth prince: "So what, you took the disaster relief work yourself. I didn't force you. I can't give you the money."
"Although His Highness does not need disaster relief now, there are still other places in Dakun Chaotang that need money, and of course I will support them."
"As for County Magistrate Li, you are so capable, of course you can solve the money problem, and you don't need the support of His Highness."
When Li Baiyi heard this, his eyes suddenly turned sharp: "Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, if you talk like this, then we won't be able to talk."
The Eighth Prince sneered: "If we can't talk, then don't talk. Do you think I will be afraid of you if you have a master next to you?"
"I also know a lot of masters. If you don't believe it, we can give it a try."
Li Baiyi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, and was even more impressed by the eighth prince.
The eighth prince is indeed not as ignorant of worldly affairs as he appears on the surface. In fact, he is very involved in the secular world!
I'm afraid that this eighth prince's ambitions are not trivial. He needs to be warned to be careful and stay out of his way.
The prince on the side couldn't see it and came over: "Brother, time waits for no one. Let's go over and have a look. You are really in big trouble this time. How can those people let you go in such a thing? "
"You obviously have a chance to deal with them this time. It would be nice if you could think of a problem carefully. Unfortunately, things have already reached this stage. It's too late to say anything."
Li Baiyi smiled and shook his head and said: "You guys have learned to be smart, but what kind of problems do you still want to solve? Let me tell you, the problem I gave them is the most difficult one."
"As long as I take action, they can't defeat me, believe it or not."
As soon as Li Baiyi said this, the prince immediately shook his head and said: "Of course I don't believe it, brother, please don't deceive me. Do you have some back-ups that I don't know about?"
"If you still have a backup plan, take it out, otherwise, it will be too late."
The eighth prince on the side said with some pride: "Prince, I think you should stop wasting your efforts. There is no way this kid will listen to advice. Just wait and see how he is killed by those ministers."
"When he loses to those ministers, they will never let go of such a good opportunity."
The prince frowned and said: "Eighth brother, you should help me think of a solution. The Li family is the territory of Duke Zhen. If anything happens to Li Baiyi, Duke Zhen will never let those ministers have an easy time. of."
"Two days ago, the soldiers under Duke Zhen Guo were reckless once, and they didn't receive any punishment."
"If it happens again, I don't know if these adults can bear it."
Hearing this, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but darken his face, and flicked his sleeves: "Humph, Your Highness, we'll see, you won't win this time."
With that said, the Eighth Prince walked out of the hall first.
At the same time, Honglu Temple.
Yeluqi seemed to have lost his mind and became furious at the men around him.
"You losers, didn't I ask you to search carefully and keep an eye on the princess's whereabouts, so that the traces of the princess can't be lost? It's better for you, you have lost your target since you dedicated the county seat."
Yeluqi slapped one of his men, pointed at them and cursed.
"Why did I raise you losers? What's going on now? Have you found anyone?"
One person shook his head and said with some helplessness: "When I returned to Your Highness, there was no trace at all. The Princess seemed to have disappeared from the world."
"We even went to several places where Her Royal Highness the Princess has been and where Her Royal Highness might have gone, but we could not find her whereabouts."
Hearing this, Yeluqi suddenly became stunned: "How is this possible? Where can she go as a living person? Could it be that she was really abducted?"
"What are you doing standing around here? Come look for me quickly. If you don't know, I will throw you all into the sea to feed the fish."
Yeluqi pointed outside and yelled, then sat down.
He finally felt lost. Although Yelufang was his biological sister, she was closer to him than anyone else because they grew up together and even experienced life and death together.
One time, the queen mother took the two of them out hunting and were attacked by thieves.
The two of them were almost killed by thieves, but narrowly escaped.
Since then, the relationship between Yeluqi and Yelufang has been deeper than that of other siblings.
Now that Yelufang has grown up and has become the most beautiful woman in Beiyuan, Yeluqi is naturally more reluctant to let her go, and he can be said to take care of everything in detail.
"Your Highness, we have basically found all the places we can, and our people have been released. As soon as there is any news, it will be sent here immediately."
One of the men with a bruised nose and face said a little aggrievedly.
"Your Highness, we only have about 500 people. We can only cover the capital. As for the remote rural areas outside, we cannot take care of it."
"But even if you think about it, it's impossible for Her Royal Highness to go to that kind of place."
Yeluqi slapped the subordinate and said, "Have you sent someone to look for her from Xianxian County? That's where she disappeared."
The subordinates covered their faces and said aggrievedly: "Go back to Your Highness, we have already looked for it. The first thing we looked for was this place. We searched for the county seat three times and found nothing."
"See Your Highness the Princess." Suddenly there was a noise from the guards outside.
