The fourth prince was still inciting the people, trying to get them to put pressure on Xia Lingxuan, but at this time, a faint smile appeared on Xia Lingxuan's face.
Putting down the things in his hands, he stood up slowly, and then stood in front of everyone. A strong magnetic field lingered around him, and a pressure came towards him.
"Today, the Japanese Crown Prince naturally knows what you are thinking, but His Highness the Japanese Highness is not a person who cares about human life. You saw a clear spring dug here, and you are afraid that it will flood the entire capital, but how can this clear spring have such a large amount of water today? His Highness is willing to use his credibility as a guarantee and will never let anything happen to any of the people in the city!"
The words were sonorous and powerful, and the attitude was clearly expressed, but the group of people looked at each other in confusion.
The people kneeling on the ground were sighing, and their minds kept recalling the past. How could the stupid things Xia Lingxuan did have any credibility?
The corner of Jiang Lanzhou's mouth twitched. He had heard a lot of rumors about Xia Lingxuan before. The current situation was so severe and dangerous, but he still dared to place a guarantee. Wasn't this just treating people like fools?
"Your Highness, there are some things you cannot say. The terrain here is relatively high. If the water from this spring continues to gush out, it will not take long for the entire capital to be flooded."
Jiang Lanzhou frowned nervously, while the fourth prince beside him laughed contemptuously.
But in order to prevent others from seeing through, he deliberately looked worried, with a trace of nervousness flashing in his eyes.
"His Royal Highness cannot guarantee this. If something happens, wouldn't the entire royal family be implicated?"
Who doesn’t want to protect themselves wisely? I don’t want to get too involved in this matter, lest I get dirty water thrown at me and get dirty.
Ye Ziliang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with disbelief, knowing that Xia Lingxuan was really determined to have his own way and refused to listen to advice.
"Isn't it child's play, Your Highness? Do you want me and this group of people to bear the consequences for the mistakes you have made?"
"The water is flooding the Jinshan Mountain. If the entire capital is flooded, what's the use of your guarantee?"
The people smiled contemptuously and even ignored Xia Lingxuan's guarantee, which made Xia Lingxuan feel helpless.
Soon, a plan emerged in Xia Lingxuan's mind, and then the corners of his lips raised, outlining an evil arc.
"Today, none of you are willing to believe in my Highness, so today, Your Highness will plant wood here as a sign of faith. There are unexpected things underground, and they are also things that can rejuvenate the country. If anyone is willing to accompany His Highness to continue digging, then His Highness is willing." Give him one tael of silver, one tael for each person, ten taels for ten people, and a hundred taels for hundreds of people!"
This immediately made everyone eager to try, and many people thought that Xia Lingxuan was deliberately trying to gain people's trust.
Some people in the crowd began to find this ridiculous and discussed it with disdain.
"I only gave you one tael of silver, who will do it?"
Looking around, no one made the first move. It seemed that they didn't believe Xia Lingxuan's words. Xia Lingxuan sighed and then turned his eyes to the surroundings.
"I can give you ten taels of silver. Are you sure you don't want to try? There is no loss for you. If you succeed, you will get the silver. If you fail, you can just pat your butt and leave."
Many people's expressions suddenly darkened. Ten taels of silver was indeed a lot.
"This is indeed a lot of money, but what if there is a fraud?"
Knowing that the value of this item was by no means ordinary, Xia Lingxuan still had some money left in his hands, but the people were moved. Seeing their changing emotions, the corners of Xia Lingxuan's lips rose slightly.
Nowadays, manpower is not enough. If we want to solve the problem early, we must increase manpower.
"One hundred taels of silver per person!"
Everyone was stunned, even the fourth prince looked at Xia Lingxuan with admiration, and his eyes were full of resentment.
It is simply unbelievable that a person who usually refuses to pluck out even a hair from an ox would be so generous at this time.
There was also a trace of disappointment in Ye Ziliang's eyes. If he knew that Xia Lingxuan was so rich, he should have raised the price.
Jiang Lanzhou, on the other hand, stood there with a face full of shock, not knowing what kind of medicine Xia Lingxuan was selling in the gourd, but seeing that Xia Lingxuan insisted on going his own way, he could only sigh helplessly.
The people's eyes suddenly turned red, and they rushed forward one after another as if they had been given a shot of blood. They all swarmed in to dig for the one hundred taels of silver.
"His Royal Highness Japan will never break his promise today. As long as you continue to dig, you will be given money, but you have to dig in a different direction."
This cave seems to be very wide, but it also has high and low slopes. One side has been wetted by water, while the other side is relatively dry. It seems that this should be the breakthrough.
"It is located on high ground and is relatively dry, so you can dig from here."
Xia Lingxuan gave the order, and the people rolled up their sleeves and worked enthusiastically.
Not long after digging, another small mountain of earth was piled up not far away.
Xia Lingxuan sat leisurely on the chair, ignoring the dissuasion of others, while Jiang Lanzhou waved his sleeves in anger.
At this moment, someone seemed to have dug into the hollow layer, and a crisp sound was heard. Xia Lingxuan looked happy and immediately sat up from the chair.
It must have been dug down. It won't be long before we know what the treasure the system is talking about is, but the treasure the system is talking about should be hidden here.
"Your Highness, it seems that we can no longer dig here. Do we want to continue digging?"
A strong man adjusted his sleeves, his head covered with sweat, and then looked at Xia Lingxuan with worry on his face, fearing that Xia Lingxuan would break his promise.
"Keep digging, keep digging right here!"
After Xia Lingxuan gave the order, these people worked even more enthusiastically. It didn't take long for them to dig out a crack here, and it emitted a dazzling light.
The fourth prince also stepped forward, with an eager look on his face and nervousness in his eyes, for fear that Xia Lingxuan would dig out the treasure.
He clenched his hands into fists and stared at the light bursting out of the crack.
A cloud of gloom shrouded the fourth prince's face. He couldn't believe that Xia Lingxuan was lucky enough to dig something out here. But thinking back to what Xia Lingxuan said just now, could it be that he already knew that there would be treasures here? ?
A nervousness spread in my heart, fearing that the treasure would be obtained by Xia Lingxuan.
The eunuch who came from the palace at full speed had a dusty journey. Before the horse could stop, he hurriedly jumped off the horse.
"Your Highness, stop it!"
The eunuch's voice was so thin and sharp that it could kill two people.
He was wearing a purple robe and was walking in a hurry, and his clothes were a little messy.
A pair of long and narrow eyebrows were frowned together, as if they were trying to pinch two mosquitoes.
The eunuch stepped forward angrily, his eyes full of urgency and pride.
"His Royal Highness, why don't you accept the order soon?"
Walking slowly to Xia Lingxuan, Xia Lingxuan had no choice but to kneel on the ground.
