My Husband Is Not Easy To Mess With. - Chapter 73: The Crab's Persona Remains Unshakeable

Chapter 73: The Crab’s Persona Remains Unshakeable

“Good.”

Du Suilan was completely unconcerned by Prince Duan of Yuan Kingdom’s threats. He smiled and drew his long sword. “Since Yuan Kingdom is so eager to start a war, then We shall grant your wish.”

Having said that, he immediately took action, swinging his sword towards Prince Duan.

Prince Duan was so scared his legs went soft.

He couldn’t understand why everyone in Yu Kingdom was a lunatic.

“Your Majesty, wait!”

Qian Henduo (Money-a-lot), who had overtly defected, spoke out in time to remind him, “He hasn’t paid us yet, so he can’t die!”

It was only after saying it that he realized he had said the wrong thing.

He quickly tried to correct himself with a tense face, “I heard from my former brothers that this brat promised that Nie person five million taels of gold! That fellow is locked up by you, and he’s still rushing to deliver money! Most importantly, he won’t give it to you!”

“He’s looking down on you!”

Given the tone of voice.

Prince Duan combined it with the content and deduced Qian Henduo’s identity, hating him in his heart: Nie Yao’s dog is of the same character as its master—both are obsessed with money!

They demand it at every opportunity!

“Your Majesty of Yu Kingdom.” Prince Duan, a good man again after climbing up from the ground, said, “It seems you are not very generous to your subordinates, having to ask this Prince for money.”

“What nonsense are you spouting?”

Qian Henduo had been a bandit following Nie Yao for several years, and his words were exceptionally blunt. “If His Majesty wasn’t generous, could I still follow him?”

He straightened his back and chest and stated his annual salary.

It was unusually high.

Prince Duan said in disbelief, “You betrayed your master just for that much silver?!”

“What betrayal, don’t say it so harshly.”

Qian Henduo refused to admit it.

He said, “I call this knowing the times… ahem… abandoning the master and going for the money! After all, I need to eat too, I can’t just give up money for the sake of the master, right?”

He was self-righteous and didn’t feel he had done anything wrong at all.

Prince Duan was astonished.

If you were so easily bought, why didn’t you say so earlier? This Prince could afford what he could give!

“Your Majesty of Yu Kingdom.” Prince Duan regretted missing a good chess piece to the extreme. “Do you just let your subordinate shout wildly like this?”

Unable to gain Qian Henduo, he tried to destroy him.

Qian Henduo didn’t know this was called sowing discord, but he could tell it wasn’t a compliment.

“What’s wrong with the way I talk?” His voice was deep and full of vigor; two shouts on the battlefield could make the enemy soil their pants!

Qian Henduo in turn scorned Prince Duan of Yuan Kingdom, saying that because he himself was weak, he didn’t allow others to be physically strong.

He had a malicious intent!

Qian Henduo didn’t humor him, directly flexing the sinewy muscles on his shoulder. “See that? That’s what a man is!”

Prince Duan was the younger brother of the Yuan Emperor and highly respected domestically.

Who knew that abroad he would be insulted everywhere.

His face turned red with anger.

“Your Majesty of Great Yu!” Prince Duan couldn’t utter words as crude as Qian Henduo’s, so he could only point the finger at his current master. “By allowing your subordinate to insult this Prince like this, have you already prepared for war with my Great Yuan?”

“You already know, yet you still ask?”

Du Suilan smiled coldly, giving him no face at all. “If you can persuade your Imperial Brother to send troops, then by all means, come!”

As soon as Yuan Kingdom made a move, they would face Nie Lengfeng, who guarded the border.

Given the current fractured state of Great Yu, consuming Nie Lengfeng’s strength was tantamount to indirectly strengthening the Emperor’s power.

Of course, he would be delighted!

Realizing this, Prince Duan’s face was ashen.

“What, is His Majesty of Yu Kingdom planning to use this Prince’s hand to eliminate the Nie family?” He secretly glanced at Qian Henduo as he spoke.

The latter was standing there looking both silly and stunned, completely unresponsive to his words.

It seemed he had truly betrayed his master.

“So what if it is?”

On his own territory, Du Suilan unreservedly “exposed” his thoughts. “Should you, Xue Huiji, still tolerate this insult after having your neck nearly cut?”

Being called by his full name, and by a mere youngster at that.

Prince Duan felt deeply humiliated.

His face remained sullen.

Having been immersed in court politics for years, reason returned after his initial outburst of anger.

Now was not the time to argue.

Just wait.

The day the Imperial Brother’s cavalry flattened Yu Kingdom will be the day you, Yan Suilan, kneel and beg for mercy!

“Leaving already? Why, rushing back to raise money?”

Qian Henduo kindly escorted him to the door, reminding him, “Then you better hurry up, or else that person really might tear you limb from limb.”

He had originally intended to tell him what happened to those who refused to pay money before.

But Prince Duan didn’t want to listen.

He strode out of the palace and immediately wrote a letter that night, sending it to Yuan Kingdom to have his Imperial Brother send the money.

He valued his life.

He was afraid Nie Yao would actually kill him.

It must be said that he was not wrong in his thoughts.

Not long after he left the palace, Qi Hewen led troops to surround the Sifang Lodge. They focused their attention on the living quarters of the Yuan Kingdom’s delegation, giving them a little bit of military shock.

Initially, the Yuan Kingdom’s delegation intended to resist.

But Qi Hewen was even more outrageous than Nie Yao, openly declaring that they were not part of the court system and were not subject to the Emperor’s control. They could complain all they wanted; it wouldn’t affect him in the slightest.

He was plainly carrying out a separatist action.

The Yuan Kingdom’s delegation was enraged but helpless against him. They could only curse and swear, trying to vent their anger.

Little did they know that Qi Hewen was once a bandit leader. When it came to swearing, he was unusually strong. If he hadn’t had to be mindful not to use too foul language to save his son’s reputation, Qi Hewen could have cursed these fools until they cried.

“You… you all…”

“This is going too far!!”

After a long pause, only this one phrase came out.

Tch~

Qi Hewen rolled his eyes, no longer paying attention to the screeching of the novices. He reminded Xue Huiji to remember to pay on time and decided not to bother with them anymore.

“Hey, you there! Yes, you!”

Qi Hewen noticed the Dan Kingdom envoy looking shifty on the other side. When he walked to the door and saw him timidly turn and flee again.

Problem!

Qi Hewen immediately called out to the person, and seeing that he still tried to escape, he immediately ordered his men to grab him.

With a sword held to his neck, he sternly asked: “Speak! Why are you running?”

Nie Yao’s subordinates were very effective.

Each one was fierce and menacing, capable of scaring people into wetting their pants just by glaring at them.

“I… I… Your Highness…”

The Crown Prince of Dan Kingdom had been very well-behaved since arriving in the capital, leading people to believe he was timid and dared not cause trouble. Unexpectedly, he hadn’t even started acting up yet.

The Dan Kingdom person, who looked like a small eunuch, stammered, unable to speak clearly.

Qi Hewen dismounted, took sufficient personnel, and headed straight for the Dan Kingdom delegation’s courtyard.

“Wuwuwu… Mmm mmm mmm mmm… Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm…”

From the room where the Crown Prince of Dan Kingdom stayed, a faint sound of weeping could be heard.

It sounded like extreme pain, with a hand covering the mouth, preventing too much sound from escaping.

“Bang!!”

Ignoring the envoy’s attempts to stop him, Qi Hewen kicked the door open.

The tragic scene inside came into view.

“Bastard!”

Qi Hewen stepped forward to untie the ge’er who was bound to the bed. Seeing the person was seriously injured, he shouted, “Go to the palace and summon an Imperial Physician!”

He handed the person over to an attendant for care.

Qi Hewen turned and picked up a wooden stool, violently smashing it onto the head of the Crown Prince of Dan Kingdom.

“Tired of living? Daring to commit a crime on my territory!”

The wooden stool fell apart.

Bl00d gushed from the Dan Kingdom Crown Prince’s head.

“I am the Crown Prince! I am the Crown Prince!!”

“I don’t care what kind of animal you are! If you fall into my hands, I’ll still deal with you!”
