Chapter 605: Sensation in the Imperial Capital 6

Even if there were, it would only be a fraction of His Highness Prince Jin's.

With this thought in mind, Consort Meng focused her gaze on the second IOU in her hand.

Fifteen hundred crystal stones?

The Crown Prince actually still owes Su Luo fifteen hundred green crystal stones???

Instantly, Consort Meng's face turned green.

Consort Meng stood rooted to the spot, then stumbled back three steps, raised her eyes, wide with disbelief, and stared at the two people before her.

"How… how is this possible?" she murmured.

"It's clearly written in black and white. If you don't believe it, just call the Crown Prince out," Su Luo said with a half-smile, taking back the IOU from Consort Meng's hand.

"The Crown Prince… His Highness the Crown Prince is not here. As Steward Xu said, he went out, so… please come back another day for this debt."

Three thousand green crystal stones in total – even if they secretly used the national treasury, they wouldn't be able to pay it off.

So Consort Meng simply decided to just give up.

Nangong Liuyun's phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously, and he slowly asked, "He's truly not here?"

"He's really not here!" Consort Meng took a deep breath, held her head high, and puffed out her chest to bolster her courage.

"Very good." Nangong Liuyun stood up, scanned his surroundings, glanced at Consort Meng, and a wicked, cunning smile played on his lips.

"How can such a Crown Prince bear the heavy responsibility of a nation? How can people feel at ease entrusting the entire Dongling Kingdom to him in the future? It seems this king must properly discipline him on behalf of Father Emperor."

Then, without another word, he pulled Su Luo and left directly.

Consort Meng was shocked.

His Highness Prince Jin brought a large group of people here, so how could he just leave so casually? What exactly did he intend to do next? How could they leave so easily?

Consort Meng had a very good premonition, her heart pounding. She subconsciously followed Nangong Liuyun as he walked out.

Nangong Liuyun led Su Luo out and stopped in the spacious square in front of the Crown Prince's mansion.

In the center of the crowd, His Highness Prince Jin began to speak.

His words were concise, and the central idea could be summarized in this one sentence:

"Train soldiers for a thousand days to use them for an hour. Starting today, all of you are to go and wander around the imperial capital. Do whatever you want. Whoever can force the Crown Prince out, this king will reward them with one hundred green crystal stones."

One hundred green crystal stones… Consort Meng, who was hiding behind the door, was suddenly shocked. His Highness Prince Jin was truly generous.

As for what Nangong Liuyun had said earlier, she didn't take it to heart. In her opinion, since the Crown Prince had already hidden, he would most likely not be found.

When the soldiers heard Nangong Liuyun's words, they immediately cheered!

His Highness Prince Jin had always been tolerant of the Crown Prince to a certain extent, which caused them to be at a disadvantage in front of the Crown Prince's guards despite having the strength.

But now His Highness had explicitly stated his intentions, and these words were simply a special pardon for them, no matter what they did.

"Did you understand?" Nangong Liuyun's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his aura imposing.

"Understood!" The group of guards all held their heads high and answered in unison.

"Disperse." Nangong Liuyun waved his hand, and the guards immediately scattered like birds and beasts, flowing into the bustling imperial capital.

Nangong Liuyun's guards were at least above the third rank.

Third-rank guards were nothing, but a thousand third-rank guards were terrifying.

These thousand third-rank guards dispersed into the imperial capital, immediately causing a serious impact on the prosperous city.

However, their target was very clear: they specifically targeted and destroyed the properties under the Crown Prince's name.
