Chapter 89 A Single Transaction

  The poor way is actually secretly delighted in his heart, and he was worried about how to deal with Nicolas, but this kid has solved it for me!

  "What's in it for me?" The poor Daoist said discontentedly: "This knife is going down, it's a loss of tens of millions, who will compensate?"

  "Is that so? We can offer you some compensation!" Little Puppy Chunlang was telling a lie, the king told him to bring Nicholas back properly, as the king imagined, Nicholas would be grateful for Little Puppy's lifesaving grace and no longer bother him. But both Little Puppy and Nicholas understood that this was absolutely impossible! If Nicholas didn't tear Little Puppy apart, he wouldn't be the invincible General Nicholas, he couldn't explain himself to the 200,000 soldiers who died unjustly!

  "Hmph! Nicholas is quite valuable, how much are you planning to pay me?"

  "200W, this is already twice the ransom of the Grand Duke!" This money was his greed for so many years, in order to keep his own life and position, Inuyasha Spring Wave had paid a bloody price.

  "Not one less!"

  "This is extortion!" Little Puppy Chunlang also became urgent: "This is completely unreasonable, you know our situation, we can't have so much money!"

  "Really!" The poor Taoist sneered: "I can send him back for free, after all, he is a good friend of my father's!"

  "Are you kidding?"

  "No! I really want to give it away for free!" The poor Taoist said innocently.

  "Alright! Then please hand him over to me!"

  "No, I'll send him directly to your legion!"

  "No need! Just give it to me, don't bother!"

  "I'd rather be a nuisance than let you have your way! I'm afraid he'll die on the road!"

  "What do you mean?"

  "Hum! You still want to pretend, Xiaoquan Chunlang, you're too ignorant!" The poor Taoist sneered: "Which king in this world would give up a famous general like Nicholas? You obviously want him dead and intentionally came to ruin my relationship with your king!"

  "How could it be? Nicholas and I have no feud." He began to sweat.

  "I've already asked the prisoners about this, and it seems that this death march was directly approved by you to King Nicholas, who only got confused under the king's coercion and came to me seeking death! Now Nicholas is probably scared out of his wits, so shouldn't you take the initiative and make a move first?"

  "You...! You..." He didn't think I knew everything already

  "I have something to show you!" The poor Taoist took out a recording crystal and smiled slyly at him, "Here are all your words, if I were to send it to your king's hands!"

  "No!" He immediately knelt down and cried out: "Please, little ancestor, spare me! You can call me anything you want!"

  "What's going on here? Get up, get up! I'm not interested in your king! I've come to ask for your help with something!"

  "You said as long as I can do it, absolutely will be done well!" He got up and said very sensibly.

  "Nicholas is the one I've set my eyes on, but he won't give me the time of day. He and I have an agreement: as soon as he receives your king's order to pledge his loyalty to me, he'll come and swear fealty to me!"

  "You want me to go find the king and ask for this order?" he asked with difficulty

  "I know it's tough!"

  "It's absolutely impossible! Nicholas is more important than I am in the king's eyes, and he hasn't even gone so far as to sacrifice Nicholas!"

  "It's not a gift, it's for sale!" The poor Taoist said with a smile

  " Sell?" he stammered

  "Yes, your country's economy is now on the verge of collapse, isn't it?" Wudao asked.

  "Huh? I'm not quite sure what economics is?"

  "Ah! I've met an idiot. Alright, let me patiently explain: 'So, your country is currently lacking a lot of money and food supplies, right?'"

  "Yes!" he said gloomily, "Now the treasury is empty, all the money has been spent on this attack. If we win, it's fine, but if we lose, I'm afraid many people will starve to death!"

  "What good will it do you to spend money on Nicholas? Can he defeat us?"

  "No way, he's even more formidable now, after all, when he had those 200,000 elite troops, you guys were already helpless, and it's even less possible now!"

  "It's true, now you can't defeat us whether you have Nicholas or not, and in that case, you will starve many people, there will be poor people rebelling, there will be lords betraying, your country may be finished! Are you willing to do so?" Under the guidance of the poor Taoist, this fool began to agree with the poor Taoist's point of view.

  "What are we going to do then? Do I have to go back to that deserted island and be a vagrant again?" he asked anxiously.

  "There's a way!" The poor Taoist said with a smile: "There is a solution, as long as you succeed, you will be the great hero of your country, and future wealth and glory will follow you!"

  "What's going on?" he asked anxiously

  "Down with Nicholas!"

  "What? How much is it sold for? Who's selling?"

  "Buy me! I'll give you 1 billion and it's enough for your country to get through this difficult year!"

  "Like this!" He thought for a moment and said: "How can it be implemented?"

  "You bring me King Nicholas' loyalty oath, I'll pay cash! Of course, his family's too." The poor monk smiled and said: "One oath is worth 1,000 W, it can also save the country, what a bargain!"

  "But will the king agree?"

  "He has no choice! If he doesn't want his country and family to be destroyed, he must do this. This is his last and only chance!"

  "But where would our country's face be if we did it this way?"

  "It's all a secret transaction, nobody else knows. You secretly send one of Nicholas' familiar courtiers to read out the order to him, and openly declare that he is deposed! Isn't that enough?"

  "What if Nicholas disagreed?"

  "You want the king to use more pleading tone in his command, Nicholas is a soft-hearted person, for the sake of national righteousness, he will definitely fall for it." The poor Taoist saw that he still wanted to drag on and impatiently said: "Otherwise, I can hand this thing over?"

  "Leave me alone!" he said hastily

  "Alright, remember this, if it's successful, I'll return your leverage and pay you an additional 1 million yuan as a hardship fee." The poor Taoist said viciously, "But if it doesn't succeed, humph! You're dead for sure!"

  "Yes! Yes! It will definitely work!"

  After getting rid of this idiot, I happily hit the road. I'm too familiar with these kinds of people who bring disaster to the country and harm its citizens. If it's something good, they can't accomplish a single thing, but if it's something that harms loyal people like this, they can't fail! It's really a bunch of scoundrels! With such a king and ministers, I truly think Nicholas is not worth it!

  This time, I am truly returning home in glory, not only have I achieved a great military merit, but also captured the world-renowned general Nicholas. For a time, my name was on everyone's lips, spreading throughout the continent. The king ordered me to enter the capital for an award, and this journey was really not ordinary, every place we passed through was filled with flowers and feasts, the common people worshipped us as heroes, even those nobles whose relatives I had killed were smiling in response, truly hypocritical!

  They soon arrived at the capital, and Nicholas, being a special case, was secretly sent to the palace. As for the remaining captives? They had no choice but to participate in a rather unpleasant parade! I rode on my horse, proudly parading through the city streets, while beautiful girls frantically threw flowers over me. At first, I was delighted, but later I became displeased. Clearly, I'm the main character this time around? Why are all the flowers being thrown at the Crazy Dragon Warrior behind me?! This is outrageous! I strongly protest against the discrimination of young people!
