The Dark Crown Prince's gaze landed on Yun Sheng and his eyes narrowed slightly.
When he saw the delicate and refined young lady behind Zhan Li, even though her appearance was very different from the one he had seen before.
Her facial features, especially that pair of bright eyes, were unforgettable.
The Dark Crown Prince's thin lips pursed together and curled up slightly, revealing a cruel smile.
In almost a second, he confirmed Yun Sheng's identity.
A trace of astonishment and surprise flashed across his eyes.
His heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat's paw. Just thinking about her made him excited.
This kind of explicit gaze made Yun Sheng very uncomfortable. The Dark Crown Prince's gaze was as if he was stripping off her clothes one by one. She was completely naked and it made her feel humiliated.
Yun Sheng lifted her head and glared fiercely at the Dark Crown Prince with her beautiful eyes.
In the Dark Crown Prince's eyes, Yun Sheng's actions were unruly and delicate. If it wasn't for the fact that there were people around, he would have already laughed out loud.
Whether it was the grandson of the Yun Residence or Yan Yun, he, Dugu Xiu, was definitely going to be hers!
Just as the Dark Crown Prince was recklessly sizing up his prey, two displeased gazes shot over.
The Dark Crown Prince frowned and noticed the two people.
One person was like the stars in the night sky, hiding in the dark.
The other person was like the warm sun in winter, emitting a luster that was hard to ignore.
Right at this moment, Yun Bahe suddenly changed the topic. "It's fine if Brother Tian is here to ask for wine. But could it be that the Dark Crown Prince and Young City Lord Xuan are also here to ask for wine?"
Everyone's gaze turned toward the Dark Crown Prince.
Although Zhou State and Later Qin State weren't at war, the Crown Prince of another state had entered the capital of another state without prior notice. This would inevitably raise the alarm. The Dark Crown Prince faintly smiled. Although he was smiling, his smile caused others to feel a chill run down their spines. He glanced around and his gaze landed on Yun Sheng.
Yun Bahe's question interrupted the three people's exchange of glances.
Yun Bahe also noticed the young man who came with Tian Quezi and could tell that he had an extraordinary identity. However, he didn't expect that person to be the Dark Crown Prince.
"Old General, there's no need to panic. Xiu came to the Jade Capital today to congratulate you on your birthday and also for the purple gold ore vein at the border." The Dark Crown Prince retracted his gaze.
It seemed that the lass had many protectors by her side. But it didn't matter.. But it didn't matter..................
The law of the jungle was the Dark Prince's hobby.
Yun Bahe immediately understood what was going on when he heard about the Purple Gold mine.
It seemed that the news of the purple gold mine had been leaked.
Yun Bahe was also very calm. He chuckled, "Many thanks to Your Highness for personally coming to celebrate this old man's birthday. However, I wonder what is this purple gold mine that Your Highness mentioned?"
Old man, you're still pretending.
The Dark Crown Prince sneered. "Old General, don't hide it. Zhou State's appetite is not small. That purple gold ore vein was originally an agreement between the three states to be developed together. Now, Zhou State is the sole owner. Tang Yuan may be able to tolerate this, but my Later Qin can't."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd burst into an uproar again.
The matter of the purple gold ore vein couldn't be concealed. Sooner or later, it would be spread out.
However, the Dark Crown Prince kept saying that Zhou State was the sole owner of the entire purple gold ore vein. Where did this come from?
Only a few important people knew that the purple gold ore vein had been divided into three parts. More than 50% of it had been obtained by the mysterious person, Tang Yuan. The remaining 50% was divided equally according to the agreement between Zhou State's emperor and Zong Yi.
"Crown Prince, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. My Zhou State did obtain some purple gold ore, but we definitely didn't obtain it alone. Crown Prince, I'm afraid you've been tricked by Tang Yuan State. Our country only obtained 50% of the ore vein. "Yun Canglang stepped forward and explained the ins and outs of the matter.
"General Yun, there's no need to be so hypocritical. Don't beat around the bush. Zhou State is also well-intentioned. On the surface, they let Tang Yuan obtain 50% of the purple gold ore, but secretly sent troops to massacre Tang Yuan's magic smelting factory. This time, Tang Yuan suffered heavy losses. More than a hundred sorcerers died or went missing. The purple gold ore was also completely looted. Apart from Zhou State, who else could do such a thing? "The Dark Crown Prince insisted.
He was also furious when he heard the news.
Zhou State and Tang Yuan actually excavated the purple gold ore vein right under his nose without him knowing at all.
"Looted it all?" Even Yun Sheng was bewildered.
She didn't expect there to be such a development behind this matter. Who was so capable?
"Then why did Crown Prince come today?" Before the birthday banquet started, the joyous atmosphere was completely washed away by the sudden arrival of the Dark Crown Prince and the others.
With the Martial Saint of Later Qin accompanying him and the Young City Lord of Grand Emperor City, the Dark Crown Prince came with full confidence this time.
The atmosphere in the Yun Residence had already become tense.
Imperial Consort Wenren frowned and quietly ordered her servants to bring the news back to the palace immediately.
"It's very simple. I'm naturally here today for the purple gold ore vein. I don't care who the purple gold ore vein ends up in. I only have one condition. I want half of the ore vein obtained by Zhou State," the Dark Crown Prince said.
Yun Bahe said in a deep voice, "Crown Prince, aren't you making things too difficult? What if my Zhou State isn't willing?"
Zhou State definitely wouldn't hand over half of the ore because that was all the ore left in Zhou State's treasury.
If they gave it all to the Dark Crown Prince, wouldn't Zhou State's efforts be wasted? If word got out, Zhou State would lose face.
"You're not willing? Haha, Old General Yun, do you want to personally lead the troops down south after the birthday banquet? My Later Qin and Tang Yuan could join forces once eight years ago. Why can't we join forces again eight years later? "The Dark Crown Prince's words were filled with killing intent as if a storm was coming.
He didn't expect the Dark Crown Prince to collude with Tang Yuan. If he didn't guess wrongly, the border was already filled with the troops of the two states.
Even the usually calm Yun Bahe was drenched in cold sweat.
In the past few years, the Marquis of Jiayuan had gradually taken over the military power of the Yun Residence. Currently, Zhou State's border was under Ni Renyi's control. If what the Dark Crown Prince said was true, then the situation at the Zhou State's border was definitely very dangerous.
Even if Yun Bahe wanted to lead the troops down south, it was already too late.
"This matter is of great importance and I can't make a decision alone. Dark Crown Prince, please wait for a moment. I'll immediately send someone to report to the Emperor of Zhou State." Yun Bahe was burning with anxiety.
Yun Bahe had just finished speaking when a shrill voice dragged in from outside the door.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
