"Disciple, since you said so, Master can only stand on your side." Tian Xu patted Lin Fan on the shoulder, looking calm. He was still interested in the unknown wealth.
Of course, as a Master, he couldn't show too much desire. From his understanding of his disciple, he knew that his disciple would definitely be filial to him.
The Crown Prince felt a chill down his spine. He had a bad feeling that Lin Fan was looking at him weirdly, as if he was going to kill him.
"What are you trying to do?"
Lin Fan walked towards the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince trembled in fear, and cold sweat could be seen on his forehead.
The old butler stood in front of the Crown Prince, opening his arms wide to protect him. He even said, "If you want to hurt the Crown Prince, you have to do it over my dead body." Lin Fan kicked him to the ground and stepped on him.
The Crown Prince's face was hideous, and his heart was bleeding. He had never experienced something like this before, and he would never be able to forget it.
The Crown Prince was sweating profusely from Lin Fan's stare.
"What are you trying to do?"
The Crown Prince asked. He was afraid that Lin Fan went to get the ransom. Not only did he get it back, but he also came back safely. Something bad must have happened.
Father and the rest must not have kept Lin Fan. Lin Fan must have a backup plan. Now that he has returned safely, he must be angry and want to kill me. Is he going to kill me here?
I don't want to die. As the Third Crown Prince of the Immortal Dynasty, I can take over the throne and enjoy the support of countless people.
It's not worth it if I die here. .
"You're asking me what I'm trying to do? Don't you know what I'm trying to do? " Lin Fan rubbed his chin and looked at the Crown Prince. "Master, what do you think I can redeem with this amount of wealth? For example, my ears, limbs, or the thing in my pants? "
Tian Xu kept quiet and said, "Disciple, I don't think this amount of wealth can redeem anything. Anything will do."
The Third Crown Prince held his breath. ~ This guy is going to attack me. ~ He panicked. He struggled and screamed, but there was nothing he could do. ~
"Brother, let's talk things out. Don't be rash. I can understand the ransom, but it's not enough. Why don't you kill this guy first and send his body back? It'll serve as a reminder to my father and the others. What do you think?" The Third Prince didn't even want the old housekeeper anymore. He didn't want to be injured.
Cutting off one's ears or limbs would be fine as well. Using treasures or secret arts, one could still grow them back. However, if one's crotch was cut off, then it would truly be a lifetime of trauma.
"Crown Prince, if this old man can still be of some use, this old man will have no complaints." Tears streamed down the old butler's face. Then, he stood in front of the Crown Prince and pulled open his shirt. He looked like he was ready to die. "Come on, if you have any problems, come at me. Don't hurt my Crown Prince."
Lin Fan kicked the old butler to the side, "Scram, you're not even worth a single cent."
The Ice Sky Demon Dragon stepped forward and dragged the old butler to the side. "Old man, don't show your loyalty. You had such a good time just now, but I haven't had my fill yet."
Clang!
The Tai Sovereign Sword shone coldly in the air. The Crown Prince was so scared that his face turned pale. He subconsciously covered his crotch with his hands.
"Brother, let's talk things out. There's no need to fight. I'll write a letter personally. You can pass it to my father. He'll know what to do." The Crown Prince was panicking. This despicable guy is finally going to do something to me.
Lin Fan shook his head. "There's no need for that. Writing a letter is nothing compared to what you have on you. Your father doesn't really like you, and he doesn't really care about you. However, in order to convince you, I have to prove it to you."
"Ah!" The Crown Prince was terrified. He had never thought that something like this would happen.
Puchi! The sword flashed. In the blink of an eye, a bloody ear flew into the air. Then, Lin Fan grabbed it in his hand.
The Crown Prince screamed in pain, but he heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, only one ear was cut off. If his crotch was cut off, he would have smashed his head against the wall.
"Crown Prince!" In the distance, the old butler, who was being whipped, shouted when he saw the Crown Prince bleeding. He didn't care about the whipping at all. The Crown Prince's pain was in his heart.
"Master, I'll go out first. I'll be back soon."
He had to give the Immortal Dynasty some gifts. Why was it so difficult to kidnap someone and ask for a ransom? Were people so stingy nowadays?
Or was the Third Prince not even Emperor Zhou's biological son? Or was he adopted? Or was he made a cuckold?
Emperor Zhou knew the truth but didn't want to say it, so he could only use this chance to get an outsider to do it?
Of course, this was just a thought.
He came to his original position, grabbed the spear, and threw it. The other party should know what he wanted. If he didn't, then he had no choice but to go and snatch as much as he could.
There was no such thing as going back empty-handed.
The Immortal Dynasty was in an uproar. The news of the Third Prince being kidnapped was not kept a secret. Everyone, from the nobles to the commoners, was talking about it.
The Third Prince was young and talented. Emperor Zhou doted on him. Many nobles knew that the next Emperor Zhou would be the Third Prince.
As for the Crown Prince and Second Prince, although they were stronger than the Third Prince, they were too old and had their own careers. Naturally, they didn't fight for the throne.
"Father, Third Brother was kidnapped. How can we wait here? We have to send people to search every inch of the land. We have to find the thief and kill him." The person who spoke was the Crown Prince. His aura was thick and his eyes were cold. Someone actually dared to offend the Immortal Dynasty. They deserved to die.
The atmosphere was a little cold. The thief had killed himself right in front of their eyes. There were no clues at all. They also didn't know where the Third Prince was locked up. Finding him was like finding a needle in a haystack.
"Emperor Zhou, you have to save Third Son." The Imperial Concubine cried. She was worried. Not only did they not save Third Son when they paid the ransom, but they also lost all clues. What if something happened later?
A person hurried in. It was the Second Prince. He didn't know that his third brother had been kidnapped. Now that he knew, he hurried back.
Suddenly!
A streak of light shot over from the distance.
The general rose into the air and caught the streak of light. It was another spear. He was delighted, "Emperor Zhou, they sent another letter."
"Give it to me quickly." Emperor Zhou was really worried. Until now, he didn't know who the person was or what their goal was or which side they belonged to.
Third Son was kidnapped. How could he not be anxious? But as the Emperor, if he was anxious, then things would really be chaotic.
There were two things hanging on the spear. A letter and a bag. There were bloodstains on the surface of the bag. Everyone's hearts tightened and they felt that something was wrong.
"Is this the Crown Prince's head?" The old eunuch couldn't help but exclaim.
Instantly, everyone stared at the old man. He lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue.
But the bag was a little big and it was stained with blood. It was easy to misunderstand.
"Open it." Emperor Zhou's voice was trembling. If it was really a head, he couldn't accept it. But no matter what, he had to take a look.
The general held his breath and opened the bag. When he realized that it wasn't a head, he heaved a sigh of relief, "Emperor Zhou, it's an ear. It's the Crown Prince's ear."
The moment he said this, the Imperial Concubine cried out in pain. "My son has never suffered like this before. Now that one of his ears has been chopped off, how much pain must he have suffered?"
Everyone's faces were cold. Rage was building up in their bodies. They deserved to die. They were obviously provoking them.
Emperor Zhou heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't the head. As for the ear, it made him furious. He then opened the letter and read the contents.
"The ransom isn't enough. I can only get one ear back. I am a man of my words. If the ransom is enough, I will send the person back. I will give you half a day to calculate how much the Crown Prince is worth. But I want to tell you that you have to calculate it well. I would rather calculate more than less. If you don't pay for the head, then you will only get a headless corpse …"
Zhou Huang clenched his five fingers, crushing the letter into a ball. His expression was dark and gloomy. He was furious. He had been extorted to this extent.
To think that they had to calculate it themselves. How the f * ck were they supposed to do it?
"Emperor Zhou, you have to save my son." The Imperial Concubine cried. Even Emperor Zhou's heart ached for her.
"Alright, alright. I will definitely save him." Emperor Zhou consoled her and looked at the crowd. "What do you guys think about this? How much ransom does he want for the Crown Prince to be released?"
The old eunuch said, "Emperor Zhou, we can't let him do as he wishes. We can lure him out once more and set up a trap to capture him."
"Stupid eunuch, just shut your f * cking mouth. If you don't have anything down there, is your brain gone too? Or are you trying to play with the Crown Prince's life?" The general scolded. Naturally, he didn't care about the situation.
"You …" The old eunuch was furious. This guy kept scolding him. This time around, he even insulted him in front of Emperor Zhou. This made him furious. This guy didn't have any manners at all.
"All of you, keep quiet." Emperor Zhou scolded. No one dared to speak.
The Crown Prince thought about it for a moment. "Father, they are using one ear to measure the value. That means we have to calculate it ourselves. One ear is equivalent to five boxes of wealth. That is quite a lot."
Second Crown Prince said, "That's not right. Not only does it correspond to the size of the body, but there should be other factors too. This time, we have met a tough enemy. They are in the dark and we are in the open. Third Brother is in their hands. If we don't follow their instructions, his life will be in danger."
"Emperor Zhou, no matter what, we have to save Third Son. If the wealth is gone, we can get more. But if the person is gone, then everything will be gone." The Imperial Concubine panicked. When she saw the bloody ear, she nearly fainted.
"Don't worry, we will definitely save him." Emperor Zhou frowned. Were they really going to steal the Immortal Dynasty's wealth?
If one ear was worth five boxes, then how much was the entire person worth?
"Go, summon all the scholars here. Tell them to calculate and redeem the Crown Prince and see how much wealth he has." Emperor Zhou ordered.
Very quickly, under the summons of the Great General, a large number of scholars arrived. They weren't strong but they were smart. When they arrived in the main hall and received their orders, they started to argue.
"We can't calculate it like that. One ear is worth five boxes of wealth. It isn't based on the size of the ear but based on the strength of the flesh and blood contained in the ear."
"Based on the strength of the flesh and blood? Even if we empty the entire dynasty, it won't be enough. How can the flesh and blood of an ear compare to the strength of an arm, organs, or head? It definitely isn't like that. "
At that moment, the scholars were discussing with one another. Some of them started to calculate and write down many formulas.
