The battle for the throne in Kowloon starts with the steady prince

Chapter 114 Because I got caught in the rain, I wanted to hold an umbrella for someone else (Seeking monthly votes and to continue reading)

Yunzhou, Prince Liang's Palace.

After pacifying Songzhou, Qin Changge returned to Yunzhou and devoted himself to rigorous training.

That day, in the hall, Xiao Dashan pounded the ground and muttered incantations:
"The forest ended at the source of the stream, where a mountain appeared. There was a small opening in the mountain, which seemed to emit light. So we abandoned the boat and entered through the opening. At first, it was extremely narrow, barely wide enough for a person to pass through. After walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious place."

Qin Changge emerged from the underground palace, looking at Xiao Dashan with some hesitation.

"The world is at peace, so what is there to do?"

Xiao Dashan clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness, Prince Ning has come to visit, seemingly carrying His Majesty's decree."

"Ok?"

Qin Changge was somewhat surprised. The battle was already over, and the natural barrier was now closed. It seemed that crossing it wouldn't be so easy.

"Could they be here to give us an award?"

Qin Changge rubbed his hands together. This second brother was too generous. He had already handed over the financial control of the three prefectures to Qin Changge, and he still wanted to give him more money.

Qin Changge suddenly realized that he had underestimated his own value.

"Quickly let Fifth Brother in!" Qin Changge said anxiously, since the man had come to deliver money.

"Yes," Xiao Dashan said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

The next moment, Qin Changfeng arrived at the main hall of the Liang Prince's Mansion under Xiao Dashan's guidance.

"Sixth Brother." Qin Changfeng smiled slightly.

Qin Changge nodded, "Fifth Brother."

Qin Changfeng glanced at Qin Changge, who was looking expectant, and felt something was off. He then coughed and decided to keep it brief.

"Sixth brother, second brother is in trouble now and may need your help," Qin Changfeng said.

These words immediately put Qin Changge on the edge of his seat. Could it be that Qin Changfeng wasn't here to give money, but to ask for money?
Come to think of it, now that the world has just been settled, suppressing the former Chu and Han territories will require a lot of money.

Are they really here to ask for money?
Qin Changge looked at Qin Changfeng warily; he definitely didn't have any money to give her!
"Ahem," Qin Changfeng felt that Qin Changge was still too suspicious. Sure enough, he was still the same as before, so he simply said directly, "Second brother needs to borrow your talisman skills."

"Hmm?" Qin Changge raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Can you craft a talisman to teleport you to the west of the Heavenly Barrier?" Qin Changfeng asked.

Upon hearing this, Qin Changge suddenly realized that it was still related to the natural barrier.

"I can't do it." Qin Changge shook his head. "I can't do the one at the designated location, mainly because I've never been there before."

"You really can't do it?" Qin Changfeng said seriously. "Second brother has prepared a generous gift. If you can do it, you will receive all the benefits you could want."

Qin Changge shook his head and said, "I don't lack money."

Qin Changfeng was stunned.

These words made Qin Changfeng realize that Qin Changge was now the king of the three states, and could be said to be the number one king in the Great Qin Dynasty. How could he be short of money?

"This……"

Qin Changfeng hesitated. He had thought that the greedy sixth brother would be obedient and do his job once he saw the benefits, but now that Qin Changge was not short of money, things were going to get complicated.

Getting someone to do something isn't easy; the simplest and most convenient way is for the other party to be after your money.

If the other party isn't after money, then what they're after must be something more valuable than money.

As for expecting the other party to do things obediently without being after money or anything else, that's like having a knife to your throat...

"Is it really impossible?" Qin Changfeng continued to ask.

Qin Changge shook his head, "I really can't do it!"

Qin Changfeng sighed, "Then there's nothing we can do."

Qin Changfeng prepared to leave.

Qin Changge was dumbfounded when he saw this. "Fifth Brother, aren't you going to ask again?"

Qin Changfeng paused, looking at Qin Changge with a hint of helplessness, "Didn't you say you couldn't do it? Why are you asking?"

Qin Changge coughed twice. "Although I can't guarantee that I can do it, we can work together to find a way to do it slowly."

"So, you mean it's still possible to do it?" Qin Changfeng rolled his eyes at Qin Changge.

Qin Changge rubbed his fingers together, "However, it may require a very huge price..."

"Speak your mind," Qin Changfeng said. Qin Changge replied bluntly, "I want all the ninth-tier inheritances from the Royal Treasury."

"..." Qin Changfeng glared fiercely at Qin Changge.

It turns out this guy was making excuses all the time, but in the end he just wanted to... raise the price!
All the ninth-tier inheritances in the Royal Treasury?

Its value is simply immeasurable, or rather, it cannot be measured in money at all.

"I can't make that decision myself; I need to consult my second brother," Qin Changfeng said after a moment's thought.

Qin Changge smiled slightly and said, "Fifth Brother, you just go ahead. After all, it will take me some time to come up with a solution."

"Okay." Qin Changfeng immediately used the teleportation array in Yunzhou to return to the capital.

Only Qin Changge and Xiao Dashan remained in the hall.

Xiao Dashan looked at Qin Changge with some hesitation, "Your Highness, don't you already possess enough inherited knowledge?"

Qin Changge rolled her eyes at Xiao Dashan, "Who would complain about having too much money?"

Xiao Dashan shrugged. "No matter how much inheritance you acquire, you can only cultivate one or two types of skills. It's worthless."

"Yes, yes, yes." Qin Changge nodded. "You're right about everything."

Xiao Dashan looked at Qin Changge with a strange expression. He suspected that Qin Changge was just giving him the runaround, but he had no proof.

Qin Changge met Xiao Dashan's strange gaze, then poured himself a cup of tea and drank it. He was in a good mood, so chatting was fine.

"This heritage is actually worthless to the person who owns it; one copy can be replicated a hundred times."

"However, it is very valuable to those who do not have it. A genius may spend his entire life unable to break through because he lacks the inheritance."

Qin Changge sighed.

Xiao Dashan thought for a moment, "If only one day, the world could share its heritage."

Qin Changge said calmly, "It happened before, it's in the history books, didn't you read them?"

Xiao Dashan rolled his eyes. "There are so many books, how am I supposed to read them all?"

Qin Changge explained, "In a certain dynasty in the past, the protection of inheritance was extremely strict. Unless one was born into a prestigious family, one was simply not qualified to cultivate."

"And then?" Xiao Dashan asked.

Qin Changge continued, "Later, there was a poor but exceptionally talented young man who rose through the ranks, joined forces with like-minded friends, and wiped out those powerful clans. Then he shared all the martial arts techniques in the world with them."

"Great!" Xiao Dashan exclaimed excitedly. "These people are heroes!"

The next moment, Xiao Dashan became somewhat suspicious again, "If that's the case, why are there still so few cases of inheritance?"

Qin Changge calmly said, "Those heroes wanted to hold umbrellas for others because they had been rained on, but the descendants of heroes have never been rained on."

Xiao Dashan: "..."

Qin Changge said calmly, "It's very difficult to make someone obediently belong to you."

Xiao Dashan asked suspiciously, "Is it difficult?"

Qin Changge said calmly, "If you had more food than you could eat, and someone said to you, 'Help me with my work, and I'll give you ten catties of food,' would you agree?"

Xiao Dashan shook his head and said, "I don't lack food..."

Xiao Dashan's eyes showed slight surprise, "So..."

Qin Changge nodded. "If I took all your food and then said to you, 'Help me work, and I'll give you ten catties of food,' would you agree?"

“…Yes.” Xiao Dashan nodded.

Qin Changge calmly said, "So, for someone who lacks nothing, let him lack something, and he will obediently serve you."

Qin Changge grinned mischievously, "If one day you could decide to make someone who obeys you every day because of food shortages never lack food again, and then stop obeying you, would you do it?"

“Of course I won’t do it,” Xiao Dashan said matter-of-factly.

Qin Changge nodded and said meaningfully, "Those who happen to have this decision-making power think the same way. Dashan, we are all those who are short of food and have to be bossed around."

"..." Xiao Dashan was speechless. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your Highness, you will soon have no shortage of inheritance."

Qin Changge took a deep breath and nodded.

"Yes, after many hardships, we finally have enough."
