Rick woke up from his initial complacency and stood up to face Jonah, "I want to deposit all this huge sum of money into Fuhua Money House. From now on, even if it is deposited, if there is any loss, Fuhua Money House will be fully responsible."
"You have taken all the good things in the world, you have huge sums of money, and we can bear the risks, so how can you be so cheap!" Jonah frowned before she had seen such a shameless man.
"Don't think I don't know that Fuhua Money House has branches in Xiuqi City and nearby, so where does the risk come from? At most, I will reduce interest saving by 30%.
"Who said there is no risk? If you pat your butt and leave, we have to stay in the card for a long time. If it is reduced by 80%, I can barely think about it."
"Reduce 40%?"
"70% can't be less."
"Fifty percent?"
...
"60% good, good deal"
After more than half an hour of bargaining, the two finally reached an agreement.
Jona organized people to secretly transport the treasures out of the palace, while Rick led everyone to arrange the evacuation of the city of Xuche.
Everyone reached an agreement in private that Rick has the potential to be a profiteer.
Yinglufan finally returned to Xiuqi City. It was two days before Rick captured the capital. Yinglufan mobilized almost all the troops from the country, so he must kill the Blue Moon army without leaving any armor.
Since the establishment of the Kingdom of Xiuca, the city of Xiuqi, as the capital, has never been captured. Unexpectedly, this shame happened to him, and even the palace was lost for a while. Yingluofan was in pain and vowed to tear Rick and others apart. This hatred increased to the extreme when he returned to the palace where he had been away for two days, which made him so angry that he vomited blood.
Almost all the rare treasures in the palace were looted by the Blue Moon army. What's even more hateful is that they also distributed a large number of items to the victims in the city. Now the situation in the Xiuka Kingdom is turbulent and refugees are everywhere. If these things are forced to be reclaimed, it will inevitably further damage the emperor's prestige among the people, and may even escalate the unrest, but if it is not reclaimed, how can the royal family's huge expenses continue?
"I have caused chaos in my country. I have to clean up the mess with my king's treasure "borrow flowers and offer Buddhas." Yingluofan sat dejectedly on the dragon chaise in the palace, sighing sadly in his heart: "My dignified Xiuka Kingdom was made like this by a hundred thousand troops!"
Yingluofan glanced at the ministers coldly, and the ministers were trembling, fearing that they would follow in the footsteps of Nott and become another victim of his majesty's anger.
Ying Luofan smiled coldly and sarcastically said, "It's all filthy people who are afraid of life and death!"
He subconsciously touched the dragon stick beside the chair, and the next second he realized that his beloved dragon stick was also taken away by the Blue Moon army, and he was even more furious!
He pondered for a while and suddenly shouted, "Where is the enemy?"
"The four gates of the east, west, south and north have left a large number of enemy horse hoof marks, and it is impossible to tell which direction they fled. We sent a large number of people to pursue them for a long time. It was only because after nearly three days, our army pursued them non-stop, but the enemy had entered the territory of the galloping horse. Whether they crossed the national border and continued to track them, please let Your Majesty decide.
The answer was the new military minister. His answer was not very clear, as if his ex's tragic experience still made him feel scared.
"Go to the Race Horse Kingdom?" Yingluofan laughed instead of anger and said, "Okay! It's better to make the Sky Cricket Kingdom and Pedoni upside down, and let everyone go. My Kingdom of Xiuka has been hit so hard, so the other three countries should not take advantage of our weak momentum and take advantage of the situation to rob."
After a pause, he continued, "No need to chase after you. I ordered you to station troops in the intersect with the Three Kingdoms, strictly guard against each other, and not let the enemy step into our country."
The new military minister hurriedly knelt down and answered the order, "I will accept the order."
"Duke of Oturu and Viscount Pova stayed, and the rest of the ministers retreated."
(Note: The Duke of Otulu, namely the Deputy Minister of Finance of the Kingdom of Xuka; Viscount Powa, the former head of the Fenghua City Security Corps who initiated the rebellion of Fenghua City, Baron Powa, later rebeled and fled to the Kingdom of Xuka and was named Viscount by Yinglufan.)
All the ministers came out one after another, Yinglufan held his chin with his hands, looked at Duke Oturu and Viscount Pova, and said gloomyly: "The girl of Lanyue will not let me live a good life, and I will also let her taste the feeling of sleeping and eating. If Marshal Omarivie can win a great victory in the battle of Silk City, the situation will reverse. By then, the losses suffered by my Kingdom of Xuka are not worth mentioning. You and the two of you will go to the Blue Moon Empire and let go. Be sure to make the Blue Moon chaos to help Marshal Omarivie with one arm."
"I'm following the order." The two knelt on the ground to receive the order, then exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

On June 1, 2051, when Rick led his army to the Racing Horse Kingdom, the Karinkel Empire, which borders the Racing Horse Kingdom, suddenly changed.
The rebels, which were originally suppressed in the five states of the Karinkel Empire, launched a raid on the two adjacent states after nearly five months of silence. The imperial army caught off guard and retreated step by step. In less than a day, the rebels had already controlled most of the territory. Karinkel's unrest swept away again and was intensifying.
In fact, since the civil unrest broke out on January 15, 2051, Lanjiang, the rebels have greatly reduced their ambitions. The regular royal army has also infiltrated the five prefectures, and the pace of quelling the rebellion has become faster and faster.
However, the long-dead royal family has always despised civilians, thus underestimating the strength of the rebels. After being suppressed, the rebels have been pretending to shrink their defense, which has made the upper class of the Karinkel Empire identify that the rebels have a single and weak power. After experiencing the previous fanatical rebellion, they no longer have the capital to fight against the regular army.
This is also an important reason why the elderly and foolish Jock IX invited the army to assist the Battle of Silk City. He believed that it would be a matter of time before he could completely deal with the rebels. Because the civil chaos in the country has been basically controlled, and he was unwilling to give up the fat piece of Silk City and wanted to use this as a springboard to open up the inland channel to attack the Blue Moon Empire, he decisively sent an army of 300,000.
However, the rebels' surprise attack at this time was much beyond his expectations. They urgently summoned the troops, militias and reserve personnel from each state to form a coalition force, and it was difficult to stabilize the situation. The retreat of the imperial team made the empire's morale depressed. Even if Jock IX asked for help from the four northern countries regardless of their face, it was unrealistic. The four countries were too busy to take care of themselves and had no spare energy to come for reinforcements. Unfortunately, Jock IX had to shrink the army into the capital and the only two remaining states that were not in war. We hoped that the good news of the battle in Silk City would come soon, and with the ability of the return army to reverse the passive situation.
The Port of Pabucchia is located in Lachia State and is an important port of the Karinkel Empire. At this time, the Port of Pabucchia is the headquarters of the civilian army. It is a four-story tower building, originally the Governor's Office of Lachia State. After the "anti-riot army" captured Lachia State, it was used as the headquarters of the army.
(Note: The civilian army is the rebels mentioned by the royal family. It was an informal army formed by oppressed people during the civil unrest in the Karinkel Empire. It claimed to be an anti-violent army, which meant to oppose the tyranny of the imperial government.)
The top floor of the Governor's Office is the office of the anti-riot leader. No one is allowed to enter without authorization unless the leader agrees. At this time, two people were sitting in the chief's room.
On the main seat by the window was an energetic old monk who spitted out an old and low voice from his mouth at this moment, "It's too slow and we don't have much time."
The middle-aged man sitting on his left nodded slightly and said, "It can be completely taken away within three months. Although Karinkel is so proud, his foundation is still there. It is not easy to swallow it in one bite..."
"I know this." The old monk waved his hand to cut off his words, his face full of sorrow, as if he was worried about something, and sighed: "In three months, the Silk City Battle has already ended. At that time, no matter who fights to death, it will be extremely unfavorable to us."
"If the Karinkel Empire and the four northern countries win and return with a victory, it will indeed be extremely unfavorable to us. If the five northern countries return on their defeat, they will definitely have a low morale. This will not only have no impact on the original plan, but will also help me conquer the four northern countries. Looking at the current situation, the four countries will inevitably be turbulent by the Blue Moon army. If the Silk City Battle fails, the situation will only deteriorate further, and we will have a chance to take advantage of it." The middle-aged man looked at the old monk and carefully expressed his views.
"The vision of the rat eye! The more chaotic the four northern countries are, the more unfavorable it is for us. Except for Pedoni who is powerless, they are all ambitious. If there is a great chaos in the country, they will only divert their attention through foreign wars. This time, the troops sent by Lan Yue is already the power of the whole country. If they fail again, how dare they provoke the Blue Moon Empire? There is no doubt that they will only turn their targets to other countries. If they cannot swallow Karinkel at that time, they will definitely flock to see Karinkel's chaos, and everything we do will be wasted."
"I am educated by the subordinates." The middle-aged man was shocked and replied respectfully.
The old monk continued to murmur to himself: "As the winning side, the Blue Moon Empire is best without ambitions. If there is, it would be even worse. Without the restraint of the northern countries, the situation in the south would be very good. If the queen of the empire solves the domestic problems and then fights for the hegemony of the continent, who else can compete with it?"
