Chapter 862: Court Debate, Decision! (I)

With the two hundred thousand warhorses delivered to the City of Steel, Wang Chong held up his end of the bargain and sent the Turkic Fourth Prince back. Meanwhile, he also withdrew the three thousand cavalry from the Turkic steppe. With this, Wang Chong finished the largest ransom of a prince in the history of the Western Regions.

……

"Hulayeg, just how did you do it? Two hundred thousand! This isn't a small number. Even if everything on that boy were made from gold, he still wouldn't be worth that much!"

"That's right! When he heard that this many warhorses were coming, even Lord Marquis was stunned. Let me tell you, I was with Lord Marquis in the war of the southwest, and even at the most intense and grim moments of that war, Lord Marquis never once creased his brow."

"That wasn't all! Everyone knows about Lady Xu. Everything she does is handled carefully and methodically, and she manages countless resources, an astronomical number! But even Lady Xu was flabbergasted when she heard the news."

The City of Steel was brightly lit, and all the guards and Wushang cavalrymen that Hulayeg was friends with had gathered around a table. One of them, a prison guard, had broached a question that the entire City of Steel wanted to know the answer to.

"Heheh, I won't tell. This is my own little secret."

Hulayeg belched and smiled, holding his crowd in suspense.

"Hulayeg, just spit it out. We're all brothers here, so you can tell us," another guard said.

"That won't do. If a merchant gives away their secrets, how could they do business? Just keep guessing!" Hulayeg smugly declared.

The sight of Hulayeg's smug face made all these people clench their teeth in rage. Exchanging glances, all of them quickly agreed to an idea.

"Come, come, come! For your efforts, Hulayeg, your brothers will give you a toast."

"Come, I'll also drink a toast to you. I submit to none of my brothers except you. After all, you've rendered a great service."
