Chapter 648: Unwilling (1)_1
How could King Chu not be anxious? Blackie was ostensibly a bandit from the Northern Land, but secretly, he was working for him.
Thirty thousand loads of grain, that was a huge sum. Added to the grain that Blackie had previously used to test the waters, nearly forty thousand loads of grain had easily fallen into Chu Suifeng’s hands. How could he not feel heartache? But he Chu Suiyun had to swallow this bitter pill silently.
Cruel, truly cruel. Blackie had been silent for so long, planning to move the grain to Border City while the defences outside Feng City were lax on Chu Suifeng’s wedding day. But who could’ve thought that Chu Suifeng would be just as ruthless, having Si Jinhan silently lay a trap on his wedding day.
Chu Suiyun had never underestimated the Prince, but through today’s events, he had a higher regard for Chu Suifeng.
The Prince was ruthless to both others and himself, and his mind was meticulous. He was definitely a worthy opponent for Chu Suiyun.
"Did anyone die?" Chu Suifeng asked indifferently, be it on a festive banquet his question was inappropriate, but he asked as casually as he would ask about the weather. It was this damn indifference that made Chu Suiyun angry. As the King of Chu with Jiangnan as his fief, he had far more silver on hand than Chu Suifeng. Even if it was forty thousand loads of grain, he could afford the loss.
What really upset him was Chu Suifeng’s attitude. Chu Suiyun didn’t believe that Chu Suifeng wouldn’t know that Blackie, who had been hiding as a bandit in the Northern Land for many years, was his man.
Putting it plainly, choosing this time to eliminate Blackie was actually a warning to him.
