"Be careful!"

Tang Haojing suddenly shouted.

Fu Jiujiu also looked towards the place where they were fighting. Originally, Nan Yu's soldiers had already withdrawn, but Li Chao's soldiers took advantage of this moment to counterattack, using underhanded tactics and ruthless attacks.

"Stop it!" Tang Xian shouted.

Nanyu's soldiers were kicked to the ground, Lichao's soldiers happily came to report their success, but what awaited them was not praise.

"Your Highness, I won."

Tang Xian sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, he won you, and when he was letting you go, you suddenly attacked him?"

"This...a soldier doesn't disdain trickery!" Li Chao's soldiers said, thinking themselves clever.

Tang Xian ignored him and looked at the muddy Southern Yu soldier, "I'd like to know why you chose to give up after being able to avenge his death just now."

The man thought for a moment and said, "As you just said, whether it's Nan Yu or Li Chao, they are all your soldiers. That means you acknowledge that we are like the people of Li Chao, right?"

"Yes." Tang Xian nodded. "Now you all are my Li Chao's subjects, treat each other equally."

Then my weapon would never be aimed at my own people, only at my enemies.

The man said, "My home is in Huacheng. My parents and wife and children are all in Huacheng. I know that as our enemies, you saved my wife, children, and parents, but as the queen of our people, you want to kill them."

"Shut up!" Tang Haozheng roared, "What did he give you, huh?"

The man shook his head. "I'm telling you the truth, so, if there's no war, it doesn't matter to us ordinary people who's in control, as long as we live peacefully and happily, we'll listen to whoever."

Tang Xian nodded, "Good, I've remembered your name. What is it?"

"My name is Ada."

"Alright, Ada. Later, you go find General Cheng and have him arrange a position for you."

The man exclaimed in surprise, "I belong to Nan Yu."

"As I've said, from now on, all of you will be citizens of the Li Dynasty. What our Li Dynasty citizens have now, you will also have."

Meanwhile, the soldier from Li Chao was still waiting for Tang Xian's reward, but in the end, Tang Xian made him take thirty army sticks himself.

"I have already issued an order forbidding any mistreatment of Nan Yu's soldiers, yet you disobeyed. You should have been put to death for this, but considering that you have also followed the army through life and death to reach this point, I will spare you this time."

Men dare not complain. This prince certainly puts his words into action.

"Spread the word, whoever dares to defy me will be killed without mercy."

"Yes!"

Ada still stood there, unable to believe all of this.

Fujujiao giggled, "Come on, you're going to be an official!"

A-Da nodded and then ran away.

In Tang Haoying's view, this was treason.

A little incident made Tang Xian's image in the hearts of Nan Yu soldiers much better. As a result, the behavior of Nan Yu and Li Chao soldiers sticking together also decreased considerably.

Even some people became friends, that's a later story.

Tang Xian continued to visit Nan Yu's treasury with Fu Jiu Jiu and Tang Hao Jing to see the treasures.

Gold, silver and jewels; nobody dislikes them, but in Fu Jiaojiao's eyes, what Nan Yu has here is not much different.

However, she was attracted by a wooden bird.

Among a myriad of treasures, this wooden bird appears both cheap and unique.

It must have some different meanings.

"Don't move!"

She was just about to reach out, but Tang Haojing spoke up and stopped her, snatching the wooden bird from her grasp before she could. He carefully tucked it into his bosom, saying, “Aren’t you after a treasure? There are so many of them, why don't you just take them? This one isn’t worth much anyway. Are the people of Li Chao so poor that they can’t even let go of a piece of wood?”

Fujujiao laughed, "This little kid's mouth is quite venomous. 'You got it wrong, our Li Chao has plenty of treasures! There are so many that I don't find them special anymore. I actually think this ugly bird is quite interesting.'"

"You're not ugly, where are you ugly? You're not ugly at all." Tang Haoxing glared at Fu Jiujiu, "I won't give you this."

Fu Jiu Jiu guessed that this thing was related to him, so she deliberately teased him, "But I just want this."

Tang Haojing looked at Tang Xian. He rarely took the initiative to ask him for anything.

Fu JiuJiu laughed, “Stop looking. He’ll pick all the stars in the sky for me, let alone a little bird.”

"Don't believe me? Try it!"

Tang Xian looked at the two people, smirked, "Forget it, don't tease him anymore, is there anyone else you like?"

Fu Jiujiu turned her head and glanced back, "No."

"None at all?"

Tang Haojing felt insulted, like he'd been wronged. How could the palace of their Nan Yu emperor not have a single valuable treasure to display?

It's obvious that this woman has no taste.

"That, that coral, but..."

I have a bigger one.

"That...that pearl..."

"I have several, all bigger than it." Fu Jiujiao spread her hands, looking at you challengingly.

Tang Haojing refused to accept it, "Then... the Jade Bodhisattva, do you have one?"

"Well, I don't believe in Buddha!" Fu Jiujiao shrugged.

"What do you want, woman?"

Fujujiao laughed, "What a contradictory child. According to seniority, you should call me Auntie Sheng now."

"Soon, she will be your seventh aunt." Tang Xian said.

This time back to Beijing, he decided to get married.

This little girl hops around in front of him all day, he can't stand it anymore.

He is also a normal man full of youthful vigor.

Tang Haojing despised the two people in his heart, reminding himself that they were all his enemies.

He will kill them with his own hands.

He touched the dagger at his waist, waiting for the right moment to plunge it into this woman's chest. He watched as she closed her eyes.

Then, Tang Xian's neck was cut.

"Really not?" Tang Xian asked again.

"Fu Jiujiao shook her head. "No, but I found that Nan Yu has a lot of fruits that we don't have in Li Chao."

Tang Xian understood. She had seen the value in these things, and in the future, the tables of commoners in Li Chao would be richer.

Tang Haojing coldly sneered, "I thought you had seen some world, but it turns out that's all there is to it. You don't want the treasures in the palace, but you want those rotten fruits. Woman, your vision is so short-sighted."

Fu Jiujiu laughed, "I don't know who is short-sighted. Let me tell you, I'm going to take these fruits back to our Li Chao. Not only can I make a lot of money, but the people of Li Chao can also eat more delicious fruits. Hmph, kid, you're still young."

"How is that possible? We live in different eras with different climates and fruits; there's no way they could grow them." Tang Haozheng questioned Fu Jiujiao, suspecting she was pulling his leg.

Fu Jiujiu smiled mysteriously, "When you go to the capital, you'll know. I can grow many fruits that you've never heard of or seen before."

How is that possible?

Fu Jiujiu hooked her lips, "Tang Qi gege, I think it's not good to directly give out money. It's better to exchange these treasures for grain seeds or other things and distribute them to the people."

Tang Xian nodded.

"What are you going to give the people?" Tang Haojing once again doubted his ears.

Three more chapters, see you tomorrow!
